Chapter 217: Pros

The next day, when Zhou Yi finished training, he was a little surprised when he saw Schulze outside the training base: "It's you again?"

"yes, I'm here again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info So this time, can I have the honor to treat you to a meal, Zhou Yi?" Schulze said with a smile.

"This, I'm really embarrassed......" Zhou Yi refused with an embarrassed face.

"Okay, it's okay, it's okay. Good luck with a speedy game. Schulze took the initiative to extend his hand to Zhou Yi and shake hands with him.

This time, after Zhou Yi said goodbye to Schulze, he took two steps and looked back at him, and found that Schulze was waving to himself.

On the third day, Zhou Yi was no longer surprised when he met Schulze outside the training base, and he even took the initiative to greet the other party: "Hello, Mr. Schulze." ”

"Hello, Zhou Yi. How was your training today? Pretty well, right?" Schulzer asked him with a smile.

"Hmm. Not bad. ”

"Then congratulations on being one step closer to your goal of playing!" Schulzer clapped his hands.

"Shall Mr. Schulzer, then, invite me to a meal as a celebration?"

"Huh?" Faced with Zhou Yi's request, Schulze didn't react at all.

"Ah, can't you?"

"No, no, no!" Schulze, who came back to his senses, hurriedly waved his hand. "No problem at all! What do you want to eat?"

"I know there's a small restaurant with not many people, but I go to it a lot. ”

"That's great, let's go!" said Schulze excitedly, and walked away.

He took two steps before he realized that he didn't know which direction he was going in at all, so he stopped and said to Zhou Yi with some embarrassment: "Sorry, I'm too excited......"

Zhou Yi waved his hand: "It's okay, Mr. Schulzer." But have you always been so scrappy?"

"Of course. Speaking of this, Schulze straightened his chest, "This is my greatest strength!"

Seeing Schulze's appearance, Zhou Yi also smiled.

Zhou Yi eventually brought Schulze to the small restaurant where he often dined with Cortana and Hannah.

After sitting down and ordering a meal, Schulze finally determined that Zhou Yi really agreed to eat with him, so he dared to ask the question in his heart at this time:

"Zhou Yi, I'm curious, you simply rejected me two days ago, why did you take the initiative to eat with me today?"

"In China, there is a saying of 'three visits to thatched houses'. Mr. Schulzer. This means that it takes three visits to see people to show the sincerity of the visitor. So the third time I saw you, I thought of this word, you are so sincere, I am embarrassed to refuse again. And...... The person who cooks in my house is not here today, ha!"

Hearing Zhou Yi's explanation, Schulze also laughed, what an interesting teenager.

"Then allow me to introduce you to myself and the sports_total of the brokerage company I work for. Schulze said.

Zhou Yi nodded: "Okay, please." ”

Schulze began: "My name is Tino Schulzer. Affiliated with sports_total brokerage firms. sports_total agency is a relatively young sports agency. It was only established in 2007, but it has grown rapidly in the industry. Our company pays more attention to the discovery and development of young players than other agencies, so we have a number of young players in our company, and I will say one that you must be familiar with - Mario Gotze, who is also a player under our company. ”

Zhou Yi showed a clear expression.

"I'm not going to tell you that our company is the best agency in German football, but we are not. We are not ranked among the most well-known brokerages in Europe. But I would say that we really put a lot of emphasis on young players in our company, and even that is the most important aspect of our company. I don't think it's necessarily better to choose a strong brokerage than to choose the right one. Because most of our players are young, we know what young players need and how to help them improve. ”

"So I signed under your brokerage company?" Zhou Yi asked.

"Ugh. Yes and no. If you choose to sign with me, then I will serve you, but you are a player under our company, because I am an agent under our company. Schulze explained.

"Oh, that's the case......" Zhou Yi nodded in a sudden manner.

Schulzer went on to introduce several of the company's most famous agents, including Gotze's agent, Volker Strus, and Reuss's agent, Dick Hebel.

Finally, he spoke of himself.

"As for myself, uh......" Schulze hesitated for a moment, and then said to Zhou Yi: "Actually, I also want to tell you what great star players I have, so that I can show that I am also very good." But alas, no, not a single one. ”

Schulzer spread his hands and said: "I have just obtained my FIFA agent license, I have only been in this business for a short time, and before that I was just a lawyer who loves football madly. Of course, I'm also a nobody in the lawyer's profession...... I know it's hard for you to put all your hopes in the hands of a newcomer like me, and I can't find a better reason to convince you, but I still have to work hard. Because hard work is another of my strengths!"

Zhou Yi was amused by Schulze: "You really have a lot of advantages, Mr. Schulze. I thank you for being so honest with me, and I will be honest with you - I can't give you an answer right now, even if I eat your meal, I won't easily agree to you. This meal was just to get to know each other better. But at the end of the day, there are probably a number of factors that I have to consider. I'm sorry. ”

Schulze waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm glad you're willing to say these things to me so frankly." I'll try to convince you until you explicitly reject me, and I hope you don't bother me. ”

"Do you invite me to dinner every day?"

"It's not impossible!"

"Forget it. Zhou Yi smiled and waved his hand, "We have a saying in China called 'eat people with soft mouths, take people with soft hands', eat too much of you, I'm afraid I will be soft-hearted." ”

"Your Chinese proverb is interesting, ha!" Schulzer laughed.

Then the two of them finished the meal, and did not talk about work again, but some small talk, such as Schulze was very interested in China, but he had never been there, so Zhou Yi had a good science about what modern China is like.

After eating, Schultz settled the bill, and the two said goodbye.

"Tino, haven't you given up yet?" asked Schulzer, a friend, Serkan, on the phone.

"I finally managed to invite him to a meal today!" Schultz said excitedly.

"Hey, that's good news, how are you talking?"

"I told him about the company in detail......"

"So did he agree with you being his agent?"

"Uh...... Not ...... yet"

"It seems that Chinese boys are not stupid. You're wasting your time, Tino. It's been half a year since you joined the company, but you haven't signed a single player yet, and if you continue like this, I'm very worried about your future in the company......"

"Ahem, I know, Okata. But isn't that a good start?"

"But there's no point - what are you going to impress him with? An agent is courting a player like a girlfriend, or you have a lot of money that will make her fall under your money offensive. Either you're strong and make her feel safe. Either you're handsome and make her crush on you at first sight. If you don't have money, you're not strong, you're not handsome, and if you're romantic, you can also attract some young girls. What are your strengths?"

"I have ...... I have sincerity and enthusiasm, as well as hard work!"

"Those are the most useless. It's like when you chase a girl and you can't get anything out but you just say, 'I love you so much, darling.'" I love you the most in this world'. Do you think you can catch up with the girl like this?"

Schulze was stammered by Serkan's question, and could not answer at all.

"And the girl you're pursuing is still so good, there's no shortage of suitors...... I can already foresee you out, Tino. Don't waste time on him, start with the players of the small teams in the lower leagues, slowly accumulate experience, and improve a little bit on the ground, you will succeed. If you can't forget the girl in your heart by that day, then pursue her again, at least then you can straighten your chest and say your strengths, instead of expecting God to favor you now. ”

The other end of the phone was silent as Serkan went on and on, and when he finished speaking, Serkan thought the phone was disconnected: "Hey, Tino, are you still there?"

"I'm here, Otaka. Thanks for the reminder, but I'm still going to try. Zhou Yi is like the first love in my agent's career, you know, everyone's first love is the most beautiful and the most difficult to give up......"

"Why are you so stubborn, I told you all about my experience as a person who came before!" Serkan was a little annoyed when he saw that he still couldn't convince Schulzer.

"I know, I know these are your heartfelt words and experiences, and I thank you too. But...... Stubbornness is my strength, too, Otaka. ”

"But if you are so stubborn, it will only bring trouble and trouble to the pursued!"

"If Zhou Yi thinks I'm annoying, he can directly refuse me, and I won't go to him again. ”

"You ......" Serkan didn't know what to say, and finally just sighed, "whatever you want." ”

The next day, Tino Schulzer, dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase, stood in the middle of a crowd of fans wearing Dortmund jerseys and Dortmund caps, waiting outside the training base, looking very unsociable, like an insurance salesman......

When the doors of the training base opened and the players drove out of it, the fans were excited, and they rushed up to find their target to ask for autographs and, if they were lucky, a group photo.

But Schulze was unmoved, and remained standing still, looking out into the training base.

As the stars left one by one, there were fewer and fewer fans around.

Schulzer, on the other hand, finally saw the familiar figure come out of the training base.

Some fans also greeted him after seeing the figure, asking him for autographs and asking: "Wizard, will Barrios score in the next round?"

Zhou Yi signed his autograph and said, "You have to ask him about this." ”

Next, a person went up to Zhou Yi to sign and asked him, "Wizard wizard, can I pass next week's exam?"

Zhou Yi bowed his head and said, "As long as you work hard to prepare for the exam, you can pass!"

There are not many people who come to Zhou Yi for autographs, and compared with other Dortmund players, Zhou Yi can be described as cold in front of him.

However, Zhou Yi didn't seem to care about these, there were not many people, and there were people who came with other purposes, he didn't care, he still signed everyone very seriously, and patiently answered their strange requests.

When he had finished his vomiting, Schulze greeted him.

"Hi, Zhou Yi. ”

"Ah, Mr. Schulzer. Did you see you today?"

"Of course, bothering you again. But if you think I'm annoying, you can just reject me, no problem. Schulze said.

"Well, you're welcome, Mr. Schulzer. But so far, I haven't bothered you. ”

"Haha! That's good. Are we going to have dinner together today?"

"Oh, no need for ...... today"

"The guy who cooked for you today is at home?"

"Hmmm......"

"Okay then, then let me walk with you for a while, and I'll say goodbye to you at the intersection in front of me, okay?"

"No problem!"
