Mendes chose a good time to pitch himself.

Since Ye Yifeng joined Monaco, until this week, he actually didn't need an agent!

But now he is in dire need of someone who can help him in Lyon's president, Aulas, who has declared interest in him, and wants to buy him for real money to increase his income in Monaco.

Mendez smiled at the dinner table and asked Ye Yifeng a series of questions.

Can you find out if Lyon is really interested in you or just trying to embarrass Monaco?

Or is it a diversion from Lyon's poor record?

Can you find out the position and attitude of the Monaco management towards you at this time?

Assuming that Lyon's offer will come as expected, what is Monaco's reaction?

Monaco will most likely not sell you because the club has not yet acquired anything.

But what will Monaco do to keep you?

Is it mandatory for you to play for a team because you have a contract on your back?

Or show sincerity to give you a better contract?

If it's the latter, how much will Monaco give you a raise?

Where is the upper limit of their sincerity?

......

There were too many questions impacting Ye Yifeng's thinking, and it seemed to be a mess.

But Tang Mo, who was sitting next to him, listened and thought, showing a serious and thoughtful expression.

Finally, Mendez's "closing argument" is that if you have a professional, reliable and experienced agent, you don't have to think about these issues, you just need to wait for a lucrative contract that definitely exceeds your expectations, and then sign it.

Ye Yifeng must admit that what Mendes said is very reasonable.

And very convincing!

Probably in Mendes's eyes, Ye Yifeng is also nine out of ten.

But at the end of the dinner, Mendes didn't wait for Ye Yifeng to nod in response.

Ye Yifeng only said that it needs to be considered.

Mendes is not in a hurry, he has also learned that Ye Yifeng's family is in China, and some things, especially those involving monetary interests, must be discussed with his family after all.

Sometimes the agent and the player's relatives are the "enemy", and there are no shortage of cases in football where the player fires the agent and lets his relatives act as the agent.

The key is whether the agent's service makes the player happy.

Whether it can generate income for a player, if it is only for a high salary in transfer negotiations, the relatives of these working players may not be incompetent, especially when a player is in demand, and the clubs themselves will raise the price of each other.

Driving home, on the way James Rodriguez called, and the two chatted on the side of the road at night.

James Rodriguez said that he was just a middleman, and he was entrusted by others to make an appointment, which was very simple, and hoped that Ye Yifeng would not misunderstand.

Regardless of whether Ye Yifeng accepted Mendes' invitation or not, or whether Ye Yifeng hired Mendes as his agent, he did not want this to affect their relationship as teammates and friends.

Ye Yifeng smiled and patted his arm when he heard this, and thanked the other party very frankly.

There is always nothing wrong with multiple choices, and it doesn't hurt to have a meal with Mendes and listen to the insights and analysis of this professional.

The two then separated.

On Ye Yifeng's drive home, Tang Mo asked puzzledly, "What are your concerns?" I've been watching the news about Mendes all the way, and his performance every year has been really amazing and amazing.

As Fleet Street said, perhaps only Mendes has the ability to reach the sky, and even parallel goods like Babe can be delivered to Old Trafford.

His relationships with clients also seem to be good. ”

Everyone knows what we all know.

Mendes can run Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid, and Mourinho can go back and forth between the giants, with countless clients ranging from superstars to rising stars.

Ye Yifeng shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know, maybe it's because I'm not confident, or in other words, I can't be his top customer at all."

I still have this self-knowledge.

Ranieri also comes to mind.

Monaco brought me from Portugal to France, which allowed me to train better in Ligue 1, and the game experience also developed me.

I don't think it's kind of kind to ask for an agent to have a showdown with the club as soon as I have just made a little contribution, and I don't think it's kind of doing so.

I deserve more, but I don't think it should be in such a drastic way.

Maybe it's very simple, I go to the club and it's more acceptable to the club than the agent to talk to the club.

At least we can have an honest conversation. ”

Tang Mo didn't speak again, but looked at Ye Yifeng's side face and smiled.

Sometimes in her eyes he is cute.

......

The next morning, before Ye Yifeng left home, he said to Tang Mo: "I figured it out, I will go directly to the club to talk, if they give me a salary increase, then I will sign a new contract, then I will not need an agent for a period of time in the future."

If I break down with the club, I'll leave it to a professional like Mendes to handle it. ”

Tang Mo hurriedly stopped him and said, "Anyone in the club has more eyes than you, you can't go over and leave your hole cards behind."

I'll give you an idea. ”

After listening to her words, Ye Yifeng thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but mutter: "Bad, it's still you bad!" ”

Tang Mo stood on tiptoe and kissed Ye Yifeng, and said with a smile: "Well, I'm so bad, only you can save me, oops, I'm short of oxygen and need artificial respiration." ”

Ye Yifeng also laughed, kissed her and drove to Monaco.

Actually, the mood is a little nervous.

The morning training atmosphere at the club was gloomy.

Monaco lost 1-0 away to Rennes in the third round of the French League Cup last night.

The most depressed is Anthony Martial.

The league didn't prove itself, and the cup was played all but lost!

There are only a few main players who are not in the squad who are not affected, not that they feel that the team is eliminated from the competition, but that they are not as emotional as their teammates who played and lost last night.

After the morning training, Ye Yifeng took the initiative to come to the office of Vasilev, the vice president of the club.

Rebonovlev, the club's chairman and owner, usually only appears in the box at the Louis II Stadium during home matches.

Other times, you don't see anyone at all.

What is the life of a rich man Ye Yifeng doesn't know, maybe it's all over the world looking for fun.

The earth is so big, I want to visit every interesting place on the earth, and I don't know if there is enough in this life.

The person in charge of the day-to-day operation of the club is the vice-president Vasilev.

When Ye Yifeng arrived, Vasilev happened to be still there.

His assistant and translator were also present.

Seeing Ye Yifeng coming, Vasilev frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

His assistant immediately followed up to translate.

Ye Yifeng got straight to the point and said: "I want to talk about my contract. ”

After listening to his assistant's translation, Vasilev said with displeasure: "You have been in Monaco for less than half a year, and you want to talk to me about the contract now?" ”

The implication is: Are you a little too greedy?

Ye Yifeng heard what the other party said, so he had no choice but to give up.

"If you don't think it's necessary, forget it."

He has already refused when the other party is refused.

Just as he was about to turn to leave, Vasilev's assistant stopped him.

Vasilev also reacted to the news about the Lyon club's public flattery of Ye Yifeng.

Moreover, Ye Yifeng's performance in the league is still obvious to all.

He asked Ye Yifeng to sit down and talk.

The assistant went to pour a glass of water and put it on the table in front of Ye Yifeng, and Ye Yifeng smiled at him and said thank you.

Before Ye Yifeng came in, Vasilev was actually talking with his assistant about the boss Rybonovlev.

Although it was a private matter for Rybonovlev, it definitely affected the future of Monaco!

Rybonovlev is fighting the most expensive divorce lawsuit in the history of mankind with his wife!

Once Rybonovlev loses the lawsuit, the worst result is that half of his family property will be divided by his wife!

Then his personal assets will be discounted by 5%.

From tens of billions of dollars to more than $6 billion!

Therefore, Rybonovlev can no longer care about the operation of Monaco at this time!

Quite simply, how much is Monaco worth?

How much is his lawsuit worth?

Instead of worrying about Monaco's business and results, it is better to talk to the lawyer team more, and maybe you can give a little less property to your wife, no, ex-wife.

Half a year ago, Monaco made a generous and high-profile sweep in the transfer market, although it will not make Rybonovlev regret doing so, because this is still Monaco's asset, and whether it is spent or not will eventually have to be said when the dust settles on the divorce lawsuit, what should be divided still has to be divided.

But if he is allowed to invest heavily in Monaco in the future, I am afraid that Rybonovlev will also have to be cautious.

When he has more than 10 billion dollars, he can burn a billion in Monaco, he is still a billionaire!

But if he loses the divorce lawsuit, will he still burn money?

Vasilev hopes to stabilize Ye Yifeng first, although Ye Yifeng's contract is four years, even if he doesn't give him a raise, it's no problem.

But if you really manage the club as a business, and treat the players as employees who can be squeezed indefinitely, then the club will collapse from the inside sooner or later!

When dealing with a valuable player, you have to show a human touch!

If a player has no value, the club can do something unkind.

But with Ye Yifeng in front of him now, the cost of Monaco itself to envelop him will not be very high.

Falcao's annual salary is 10 million euros.

Ye Yifeng's annual salary is 180,000 euros.

Ye Yifeng has scored more goals than Falcao!

Where to put this reasoning, Ye Yifeng is absolutely reasonable!

But Vasilev definitely can't let Ye Yifeng open his mouth.

He said to Ye Yifeng with a solemn expression: "Leon is not really interested in you, Olas is just interfering with Monaco, and at the same time interfering with you."

However, given your excellent performance over the past few months, I agree that you should be given a raise, which is a reward for you. ”

After hearing this, Ye Yifeng understood what Vasilev meant.

Is this the equivalent of Monaco giving him a raise, a gift?

Ye Yifeng said a word with a calm expression, and after the assistant translated, Vasilev's expression suddenly became a little ugly.

"I've been told by someone from Lyon that if I move to Lyon, they'll give me an annual salary of 1.5 million euros, plus a signing fee of 500,000 euros."
