155 Kenyon's Invitation
"Lister, you're not resolute. That's a record transfer fee in Dutch football, $6 million! ”
Rist looked at Arneson crying there and shook his head. Ruud van Nistelrooy's transfer fee of $6 million is indeed a record within Dutch football. But for Eindhoven now, this is not a huge amount. Because PSV Eindhoven's season is not over yet, but there are already a number of players who are confirmed to leave PSV Eindhoven. The likes of Kocu, Newman, Zenden and Stam are all leaving PSV Eindhoven. PSV Eindhoven will not be short of money this summer, on the contrary, it should be a lot of money and I don't know how to spend it. And Arneson values Vanney so much that he's willing to give six million dollars.
Now Lister is mentally refreshed. Because of helping Arneson lower the price this time, Rist and Heerenveen FC directly stated that Vanney would only go to PSV Eindhoven. This is a huge help for PSV Eindhoven as it deprives Heerenveen of the room to bargain with other clubs. Arneson is also very interesting, or rather very knowledgeable.
Rist helped PSV Eindhoven do that, and Arneson did what he had to do. According to the usual transfer, the commission of the general agent in the middle is 10% of the transfer fee, in fact, except for many top agents, most of the agents get less than 10% of the commission in the transfer. But this is just a general transfer commission, and Rister helped Arneson to reduce the price this time, which can be regarded as helping PSV Eindhoven to make a contribution. Arneson was also generous in giving Rist a million-dollar commission.
Rist wasn't embarrassed at all. Because for Lister, Lister is eligible for these commissions. Seeing that Rist did not speak. Arneson smiled as well. When I met Rist only two and a half years ago, Rist was still a small country broker in the Czech Republic. But two and a half years later, Rist is already an agent who can be treated on an equal footing with Eredivisie giants like PSV Eindhoven.
When he met Lister for the first time, Arneson decided that Rister would be great in the future. But he didn't expect Rist to develop so quickly in the past two and a half years.
"Frank, I'm a good talker. If you like my players, you can always come to me. I love doing business with you. ”
Rist said it sounded, but Arneson wouldn't be convinced. If it weren't for Arneson's million-dollar commission this time, Arneson believes that Rist would never cooperate with him to lower the price. On the contrary, Arneson can be sure that if PSV Eindhoven is not good, Rister will definitely be slow in the middle, and even make a block in the middle to increase the transfer fee a lot. Then put the commission that was never received from Eindhoven. Get your fair share from the Heerenveen Club.
But there is no way. Arneson didn't blame Rist either. Because Lister and other agents make money from these.
"That's right, Frank. You PSV Eindhoven are a Dutch giant, with a lot of outstanding academy players. How about leaving me a piece of the pie? I was able to pick two players from that as well. What do you think? ”
Rist: This is a temptation. Until then, Lister had been very low-key in Dutch football. Especially after digging up Fanny, he didn't dare to make any moves. Rist was afraid of his own too big movements. It is very vulnerable to counterattacks from native Dutch agents. Therefore, after having Vanney, Rist did not take advantage of the victory to pursue. On the contrary, Riester did not make any moves in Dutch football, quietly. That's why Riester is so low-key in Dutch football.
But I endured it for more than a year. Rist felt like it was about the same. It has been more than a year since Vanney's affair, and during this time, the Dutch local agent has also been filthy, and everyone has almost forgotten about Lister's digging of Vanney. PSV Eindhoven is a treasure trove, and although their academy is not as good as Ajax's, they have produced a number of good players. Rist wants to poach one or two players from PSV Eindhoven's academy.
'Lister, there are a lot of agents who are eyeing the young players in PSV Eindhoven. I will not restrict the actions of any one broker. ”
The relationship between Riester and PSV Eindhoven is getting closer and closer. If it was only Lister and Arneson who had a good relationship before, now PSV Eindhoven have Ruud van Nistelrooy and Galasek. With two Rister players at once, it's very close. Although Arneson has some concerns. He feared that Rist's power in Eindhoven would continue to grow, but he did not think about stopping him. Because Arneson knows that Lister's eyes are not on the Eredivisie, and Rister's ambitions are all over European football.
As for the agents currently active in the Eindhoven Academy, they are all agents who have a good relationship with the Eindhoven club, and ordinary agents cannot survive in the Eindhoven Academy. Because PSV Eindhoven's hierarchy has their own range of shili, they don't allow unfamiliar agents to reach into their academy.
"Then I'm going to xiexie you."
Having received Arneson's affirmation, Lister was delighted. Because he can legitimately put his hand in the Academy at PSV Eindhoven.
"No thanks. Rist, if you still have a place like Ruud. Players like Ruud van Nistelrooy were introduced to me. You can rest assured, as long as you are a good player, even if you are not your player, we will definitely not be stingy with the commission we should have. ”
Lister and Arneson have worked together several times, knowing that although Arneson likes to be careful about everything and has a strong desire to control, the rules are absolutely speaking. When it's time to make a move, he definitely doesn't care. Rist enjoys working with people like Arneson.
"Frank, do you really believe in my vision?"
"Of course. If you don't be an agent, I'll hire you as sporting director in PSV Eindhoven. ”
Arneson gave Rist a resounding answer. Arneson admires some of Rist's vision for football. Although Arneson is confident enough in this regard, he still admires Lister. Rist smiled, and then said very seriously, "Frank, do you know what I like best?" I like it when someone compliments me. Since I'm in a good mood today, I'm going to introduce you to a player. ”
Arneson immediately became serious. He knew that Rist would never say anything about this, so he wanted to listen carefully to who Rist was talking about? Will it be a huge surprise for yourself.
"Did you Eindhoven pay attention to last year's World Junior Championships in Egypt?"
Arneson shook his head. Although the World Junior Championship is also a gathering place for young talents, European football attaches more importance to the World Youth Championship. Because compared to the World Junior Championships, the World Youth Championships are a concentration camp for talents. And when it comes to the World Youth Championships, the talent of many talented players can be more conspicuous. The players at the World Junior Championship are all too young, and some of the younger players developed their bodies earlier and then performed very well at the World Junior Championships. But by the time everyone is eighteen or nineteen years old, it will be inconspicuous. Similarly, many players who performed mediocre at the World Junior Championships, after growing up two or three years old, will play brilliantly at the World Youth Championships.
Therefore, Arneson will pay close attention to the World Junior Championships as the general manager of PSV Eindhoven, but he has not paid much attention to the World Junior Championships. Unless there are talented players like Maradona and Ronaldo in the World Junior Championships, it is estimated that they can attract Arneson's attention.
"Last year's World Junior Championship in Egypt was won by Brazil and they came out with the best player. This player's name is Ronaldinho, and he is a super talented player who is no less talented than Ronaldo. He is eighteen years old this year and has signed a professional contract with Gremio FC. If you want to start, do it early. ”
It was Ronaldinho that Rist introduced to PSV Eindhoven. Rist didn't want to be Ronaldinho's agent, because his agent was his brother, and because he was a Gremio player, he had a deep relationship with Ribeiro, another Brazilian agent. As a result, Rister gave up on being Ronaldinho's agent the last time he went to Brazil. But Rist wants to help them thread the needle. It also deepened his relationship with Eindhoven.
"He's brilliant?"
"You can talk about the genius that can be compared to Ronaldo, don't you think it is outstanding?"
Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in European football at the moment. Known as the "alien", he just won the title of Mr. Footballer last year, and now the demand is very high. It's going to be the 98 Shijie Cup soon, and in the eyes of many media, this is the Shijie Cup stage where Ronaldo ascended the throne.
Ronaldo was brought to Europe by Arneson himself, to Eindhoven. Listening to Rister boast that Ronaldinho is as talented as Ronaldo, so it's really curious. Arneson admires Rist's vision, but that doesn't mean he trusts him blindly. So he asked, "Do you have any information about him?" ”
"Of course!"
Rister was not able to poach a few good players on his last trip to Brazil, but it wasn't for nothing. There I clearly knew the scope of shili in Brazilian football, and I also had a cooperation agreement with Ricardo. Rister asked Ricardo to have a full investigation of Ronaldinho, and then the information would be sent to Rist.
"Frank, I'll pass on his information to you. If you like it, then I can help you contact Ronaldinho. ”
Rist was quick to get information about Ronaldinho to himself. However, Arneson has not yet decided, and Rist receives Michael. Williams' phone.
Michael. Williams met with his old colleague Kenyon, the current senior of Manchester United, because of business problems. I expressed my intention to Kenyon in this regard, but I didn't expect Peter. Kenyon is interested in Manchester United playing in China. He was passed by Michael. Williams sent Rist an offer to meet for negotiations.
There was nothing to say about it, and of course Rist agreed. (To be continued......)
