That's how business works, every minute has to be discussed, and you can't miss any opportunity. Of course, with Fan Zhiyi, Sun Jihai and Zhang Enhua, their endorsement fees will not be very high. Even the endorsement fee of Fan Zhiyi, Asia's top central defender, will not exceed $100,000 a year. But $100,000 is still a high salary for them now. After all, the annual salary of domestic players in Chinese football has just exceeded one million.

In Lister's opinion, it is not high, but for a few of them, it is still a lot of money. Once Rist facilitated such a cooperation, the income was not high, but it could also benefit from a hundred thousand dollars. This kind of benefit is not just for the players to give, if it is really successful, Puma also needs to mean meaning. Although this is not a lot of money, especially a broker like Rist, who is now paying more and more. But no matter how small, it is still an income of 10,000 dollars.

Anyway, there is nothing to do along the way, and it is also appropriate to make some money. The flight was to Abidjan International Airport, the largest city in Côte d'Ivoire and home to nearly 20 percent of the population of Côte d'Ivoire.

Didn't feel too tired. Because Rist is now used to flying. Besides, the flight of this time is pediatric for a person like Rister who has experienced dozens of hours of trains. When he first started working as an agent, because he was short of money at that time, Lister could only run around by train. At that time, it took seventeen or eighteen hours to travel from Jilin to Dalian by train. Now Lister flies in first class, and even many times the first-class ticket is not bought by Lister, but by the club.

Africa, finally set foot on African soil. I have only heard of the name of African Lister, and today is the first time I have come to the land of Africa. It was also the first time I came to Côte d'Ivoire. The Football Federation of Côte d'Ivoire attaches great importance to this friendly match as it was facilitated by their sponsor Puma. How is the economy of Côte d'Ivoire? It's really not great.

Although Côte d'Ivoire is a relatively stable political situation in turbulent Africa and has developed relatively rapidly over the years, it is still a very poor place compared to the European continent. Compared to their rivals, the Czech Republic, the economy is not the same. Their desire for Puma is far greater than that of the Czech Republic.

Therefore, Jacques Anuma, the full-time president of the Football Federation of Côte d'Ivoire, came to the airport to meet the plane in person. Rist also went down with Merkley and Jochen Caitz.

Côte d'Ivoire is a multi-ethnic country with 69 ethnic groups, each with its own language. The lingua franca of most of the country is Diura, but unfortunately this language can only be spoken but not written, because it is not written. Therefore, although Diula is a common language, it is spoken by almost all Ivorians, but it cannot become the official language of Côte d'Ivoire. Côte d'Ivoire was once a French colony, and even after independence, it was inextricably linked with France, so the official language of Côte d'Ivoire became French.

But neither Bavier Merkley nor Jochen Gaz can speak French. So the president of the Football Federation of Côte d'Ivoire brought with him an interpreter, a translator who could speak German.

Jacques Anuma and Jochen Caitz knew each other, and they negotiated after all. And it was the first time to meet Merkley, the vice president of the Czech Football Association, so he warmly welcomed Merkley.

"President Anuma, the agent of most of our Czech national team internationals, is also the one who made this friendly a friendly match."

"Hello, Mr. Czerny. Welcome to Côte d'Ivoire. ”

Hearing Merkley's introduction, Jacques Anuma didn't really understand that Lister Weishenme was here. But he immediately stepped forward to shake Rist's hand and gave him a warm welcome.

"Hello, Chairman Anuma."

Rist is French-speaking, so greet him in French. It was a simple meeting, and soon everyone followed Jacques Anuma to the resting place. After all, many Czech internationals have just finished playing in the league, and this is just a break. They are all very tired and need to adjust their condition quickly.

Abidjan is not the capital of Côte d'Ivoire, or rather, he is not the political capital of Côte d'Ivoire. The political capital of Côte d'Ivoire is Yamoussoukro, but the current location of Côte d'Ivoire's government and diplomatic missions are in Abidjan. Abidjan is the economic capital of Côte d'Ivoire. Don't underestimate an African country, Abidjan, the economic capital of Côte d'Ivoire, has two five-star hotels and four four-star hotels.

The Czech national team stayed in one of the two five-star hotels in Abidjan.

…………

"Lister, what are you busy with not resting so late?"

Jochen Caitz went out for a stroll after dinner before returning to the hotel. He had staff accompanying him this time, but he enjoyed chatting with Rist. So I sneaked into Rist's room and found that Rist was looking at some materials there very hard.

Rist put down the information in his hand and said to Jochen Caitz with a smile: "This is my first time in Côte d'Ivoire, my first time in Africa. So take a look at some of the information on Côte d'Ivoire, including the development of their football. ”

"Do you see anything?"

"There is no free lunch on shijie. There is no such thing as pie-in-the-sky. ”

Jochen Caitz paused for a moment, for he didn't understand what Rist meant. So I asked Rister, "What do you mean?" ”

Rist handed the information to Jochen Caitz, then shook his head and said, "Look, Côte d'Ivoire is said to be independent. But many important industries are in the hands of the French, and many of the rich people in Côte d'Ivoire are French. You talk about the independence of Côte d'Ivoire back then, but what is the use. It was not the French themselves who drove out the French with their own arms, but the French handouts to give Côte d'Ivoire independence. As a result, a lot of important things are still in the hands of the French. Now the upper echelons of Côte d'Ivoire are descendants of France. ”

Rist didn't brag at all. This is true not only of France, but of many colonial countries. The Mandela, who is now hailed as a saint by the media, is a well-known politician. A great man who has been in prison for twenty-seven years for his ideals and has high prestige in South Africa. When he came out of prison, all the blacks in South Africa thought their savior had arrived. They thought that as soon as Mandela came out, then spring had arrived for black South Africans. So when he was released from prison, all the black people of South Africa were singing and dancing and cheering their heroes.

But the result? When he became president, he was unanimously praised by all the media. But he no longer had the ability and courage to carry out many of the initiatives he had proposed in his youth. For example, the nationalization of industries such as minerals controlled by whites, and the elimination of the gap between the rich and the poor were all his slogans back then. But when he became the president of South Africa, he did not achieve any of them. He didn't drive out the foreigners, and he didn't give the blacks the power they deserved. Instead, he signed a contract with those people to legally recognize their property, and those people turned back to support Mandela's rise to power. As a result, the white population remains the richest and most powerful stratum in South Africa, followed by the millions of black middle class who have become rich with Mandela, and the nearly 20 million slum-poor people below.

Rist knows that more than a decade later, South Africa's unemployment rate is as high as 30 percent. South Africa's economy is growing rapidly in Africa, but unfortunately those economic outcomes have nothing to do with the poor at the bottom. They will never get out of the slums.

Whose fault is this? Is it the hero's fault, or someone else's. Rist didn't understand, but Rist knew a little. Many of these African countries became independent when Britain and France were devastated after World War II and had no time to manage their colonies. And Britain and France had no choice but to let them become independent.

None of them really drove out the shili of these countries with their own strength. Therefore, even if they are independent, the important industries are still in the hands of these people, and the citizens of the country are still second-class citizens in the face of them.

Jochen Caitz laughed. Jochen Caitz was a high-class man, and he didn't have the time to care about the well-being of the African people. So he joked: "Why, Lister, you are ready to give up your life as an agent and become a revolutionary." ”

"No, no, no, I'm not that noble. I just have some sighs. There is no free lunch on Shijie, and everything needs to be strong by yourself. Iron also needs to be hard. ”

Rist was just an exclamation. If South Africa, including the rest of Africa, was it they who armed themselves and drove out the Europeans with their own armed shili. So how is it possible that Africa is now left with so many European plutocrats. When those rich people were colonies, they seized the good resources of Africa. After the independence of African countries, they still control the political situation in Africa with these economic resources. He is still the richest and most elite figure in Africa.

"Don't worry about the country and the people. I've heard that the night in Abidjan is still very good, why don't we find a place to have a drink? ”
