PS1: Continue to ask for recommendation votes here, free books don't need to spend money, and it should be okay to give more recommendation votes, right? Thank you here~

PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

"What?!" Hearing Zhuang Mingge's words, Mendes was so shocked that he almost sprayed all the sip of coffee he had just drunk into his mouth on Zhuang Mingge's face opposite, "Chairman Corleone, are you joking with me?" For a small role like me, there are not 1,000 but 800 in European football right now, and where is it qualified to own 5% of GM's shares, let alone the position of general manager and CEO, you can't help but think too highly of me. ”

Mendes doesn't think that Zhuang Mingge will offer such a high price because of the player resources he has in his company, although Mendes's business can be said to be thriving in the past four years since he started working as an agent, but so far, the business scope of the Gestefut company is limited to this acre and three points of land in the Iberian Peninsula, and the biggest star is only Andrade, who has just been run to Porto by his connection.

It is precisely because of this that Mendes is extremely confused by Zhuang Mingge's invitation. After all, according to common sense, a company like this that is in a leading position in a certain industry, when choosing a general manager or CEO, generally hires those big-name managers with rich experience or successful experience, rather than an obscure rookie like him.

Mendes is not presumptuous about himself, although the Portuguese's achievements so far have made many self-made colleagues like him look at each other, but compared to GM, which has already made a turnover of nearly 200 million US dollars through the transfer of Crespo, Buffon and Toldo this summer, the Portuguese has obviously not been able to enter the eyes of the other side.

The company doesn't look down on it, does he have much fame and enough convincing resume...... So what did the other party like about himself that he thought he was capable of being the general manager and CEO of GM, and it could be said that he was above 10,000 people under one person?

However, although he was skeptical about Zhuang Mingge's invitation, Mendes is not a person who is afraid to do things. Enterprising, he did not immediately refuse Zhuang Mingge's seemingly astonishing request, but while analyzing the pros and cons in his heart, he made a gesture and asked Zhuang Mingge to continue--he planned to listen to the other party's next words and then decide on the next plan of action.

Seeing Mendes' gesture, Zhuang Mingge understood that the other party was not stunned by the bombshell he dropped, and still remained calm and cautious enough. A person like Mendes would never obediently join his command based on some empty words. It is necessary to make the other party feel their sincerity and the benefits they can get from it, so that they have the opportunity to nod and agree.

The main reasons why Zhuang Mingge chose Mendez, the future agent predator, as the new helm of GM are the following reasons.

First of all, Mendes has a very good business level and is sensible enough not to make a joke like Vega about being forced to transfer Figo to Real Madrid because he agreed to a bet between Figo and Florentino and was forced to transfer Figo to Real Madrid, so the probability of having a negative impact on GM's reputation is naturally extremely low.

Secondly, Mendes has a much better reputation in European football than his dominating peers such as Raiola, which shows that the Portuguese has a more flexible and interpersonal skills when it comes to dealing with clubs than others. When Mourinho left Chelsea with 27 million euros in compensation, Mendes and Abou could still maintain a fairly good working relationship, and this laid the foundation for the agent to bring Scolari, Deco and other members to Chelsea.

The most important thing is that Mendes pays more attention to the long-term development of his players, and will not make short-sighted moves for the sake of immediate interests, Deco and Ronaldo are the best examples. That's why Zhuang Mingge decided to hire Mendez, who is still not well-known, as the general manager and CEO of GM. If it were replaced by Raiola, the owner who saw the money, Zhuang Mingge was really afraid that he would toss all these high-quality resources under the company's money offensive under the offensive of others......

In the end, in the face of a series of favorable terms offered by Zhuang Mingge, Mendes agreed to the other party's invitation and agreed to sell his Restefit company to GM for $30 million, and Zhuang Mingge only needed to pay the same value of shares to complete the deal.

At the same time, regarding his appointment as GM's general manager and CEO, Mendes made a request to Zhuang Mingge that he did not expect: "Give me a one-year probationary contract first, and if my performance during this period is enough to convince the public, then it is not too late to renew a formal contract with me." ”

Regarding Mendes's additional condition, Zhuang Mingge naturally agreed. After all, Mendes also thinks about the interests of the company, minimizing the possibility of losing money due to mismanagement, and he has no reason to refute the other party.

Some people may think that Mendes's suspicion of selling at a price is not simple, but if you think about it, in this world, who really regards money as dung?

"Jorge (Mendes), a pleasure to work with." After getting Mendes, the future agent predator, Zhuang Mingge is in a good mood, and with this general, he can worry less about a lot of things in the future, "With your joining, I believe that the future of GM will become even better!" ”

"Hehe, you're a great prize, Lord Corleone...... Oh no, I should call you boss right now. Halfway through his words, Mendes realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Haha, Jorge, since you have already asked me to call you by your name directly, then it would be nice for you to call me by my name directly in private." Zhuang Mingge smiled and patted Mendez's shoulder, his expression revealing his appreciation for the other party, "Otherwise, I would be angry~"

"Okay, Antonio." Mendes immediately changed his name, smiled and touched his glass with Zhuang Mingge, and said, "It won't be long before I will show you that bringing me to GM is definitely the wisest investment for you!" ”

Mendes really lived up to Zhuang Mingge's expectations of him, and a year later, he made a transfer that shocked the international football world, allowing Juventus to sell its midfield core Zinedine Zidane to Real Madrid for a world-record transfer fee of $64.45 million, thus establishing his transcendent position in the agent industry in one fell swoop! Of course, this is a later story, and I will not go into detail here.
