I just wanted to play football, but I became a Hollywood god

Chapter 381 Dialogue between strong men! Ronaldo's agency contract is finalized!We are in the same school as Ronaldo!

Gu Ran smiled calmly, "The most powerful agent in football is definitely not here to show me the car wine cabinet."

"Hahaha!" Mendes laughed heartily, "Gu, I didn't expect you to be so humorous! Ah, I really like you even more! You call me the strongest agent in football... You are really discerning. !”

On the surface, these words were praising Gu Ran, but in fact they were praising himself.

Who doesn't love to hear good things?
Gu Ran's negotiation skills were actively triggered, and his tongue was like a spring covered with honey, "I'm not complimenting you, but telling the truth. Mr. Mendes, you started from the grassroots and became Cristiano Ronaldo and José ·Mourinho’s agent, just based on this, you are the strongest agent in football.”

Mendes was immediately elated, "Oh, Gu, I really love you to death. Even though you are young, you are so smart. You can recognize my abilities, which means you are also a very capable person." . Yes, I am the strongest agent in football because Cristiano is my superstar!"

"The relationship between me and Chris is more than just a managerial relationship. We are not father and son, but we are like father and son. I regard him as a younger version of me. He has realized my impossible dream. I take care of everything except the golf course for him. Everything else, so he became the greatest star in the world, and I became the strongest agent in the world because of his greatness!"

Mendes paused for a moment, grinned and said: "I said that Chris and I are like father and son, is it a bit exaggerated?"

Gu Ran said calmly: "No, it's not an exaggeration."

Mendes published an autobiography in 2015, and Ronaldo gave him a preface. The original words Ronaldo used in the preface were "My father of football."

The reason why Mendes can become the number one agent in football is almost entirely due to Ronaldo.

When Mendes got married in 2005, Ronaldo also gave Mendes a private island worth 1700 million euros.

Therefore, before their "father and son" break up, they did have sympathy for father and son.

Mendes adjusted his sitting position with satisfaction, "Gu, let's get down to business. In fact, I have noticed you very early. I have been paying attention to you since you played a friendly match with Arsenal. I I saw your scimitar, your elevator ball, your strong physical confrontation, your excellent speed and passing skills, and your wonderful breakthrough on the left."

"But these are not the things that shock me the most."

"My Hotifoot Company has collected the data of all your previous games."

"I can accurately tell you your defensive data and offensive data in every professional game."

“These progressively expanding data are what shock me the most.”

"Since I have been an agent, I have never seen a young player improve so quickly - never anyone, including the greatest player in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo."

"What I want you to know is that Chris is one of the strongest players in my heart, so I never compare other players' statistics to my Chris, but when I see your statistics I couldn't help but compare your numbers to Chris."

"I wonder, did the greatest player in the world have such crazy growth at the age of 17?"

"The answer shocked me..."

"Your starting data is terrible, you are completely a non-professional grassroots player, but your growth rate is extremely amazing - if you look at the actual data alone, there is no comparison between you and Chris, because Chris was 17 When he was 17 years old, he was already a well-known genius star in Portugal. When he was 90 years old, he already had 70 points, but you only had 80 points - but Chris grew from 90 points to 0 points, while you went from 70 points. You have grown to [-] points. If you only compare growth, in just a few months of your career, you have already surpassed Chris's three-year growth."

"I'm really shocked. I can't believe how you did it. How did you surpass the best player in the world in terms of growth rate?"

"What shocks me even more is that your golf intelligence is much more mature than that of your peers. Many of your operations may seem like grassroots unconventional operations, but they are always just right for your team to succeed. "

"How would I describe you?"

"I have read countless people, but I really, really, have never seen a player as amazing as you."

"You are not a genius, at least not a genius born for football like Chris, but the speed at which you grow is really terrifying."

"I really can't imagine what it would be like to continue growing at this rate, because my rational mind tells me it's so unreal."

"Let's put it this way, I haven't come to meet a player in person for a long, long time, and most of the agency contracts are operated by my company Gestifoot - but you are different."

"Not only are you growing at an astonishing rate, not only are you possessing an advanced football intelligence, you are also a Chinese player."

"Please forgive me for telling the truth - Chinese players are too rare in international football, but the market of Chinese fans is the largest market in the world. This misplaced configuration will make the commercial value of outstanding Chinese players significantly higher than Stars at the same level are much, much, much higher."

"There is no agent who doesn't love excellent Chinese players."

"So, I have to come and see you in person just like I did with Cristiano Ronaldo."

"Because you deserve this."

Mendes looked directly at Gu Ran with his brown eyes with great longing, "Gu, I know you don't have an agent yet, and I know you are definitely waiting for an agent who can match you. So here I am. Join me Hottiefoot and I won’t let you down.”

shit...

Gu Ran's heart was beating wildly uncontrollably!
Mendes is really good at talking!
For a moment, Gu Ran almost blurted out: I do!

However, with his rebirth experience and negotiation skills +4, Gu Ran quickly calmed down.

Mendes is a businessman!
There is some sincerity in Mendes' words, but there must also be some false flattery from a businessman!
Mendes is the strongest agent in football, the strongest agent in football who can easily handle even Cristiano Ronaldo and Mourinho!

If you can't keep calm, it's really easy to be led by Mendes.

We haven’t discussed the terms and benefits of joining yet, so we can’t just agree right away!
Gu Ran then smiled calmly and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

That's it?

Mendes was shocked by Gu Ran's dull reaction.

He personally took action, deliberately told about his relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, and praised it very sincerely. He thought it would make the young Gu Ran's blood boil, so he agreed on the spot, but he didn't expect that Gu Ran would be so ordinary. A "Thank you for the compliment"?
How big this kid's heart is!

good very good!

The harder something is to get, the more worth paying for it and the more precious it becomes!
Mendes smiled and said: "Gu, maybe you haven't realized that by joining my Hotifoot, you can become a fellow student with Cristiano Ronaldo. I can even bring Chris when it's convenient." You go meet him. By the way, Chris likes Chinese people very much, I believe you will become very good friends in private."

shit...

Tempt me with Ronaldo?
Who can stand this?

That's me.

But if Mendes tries to tempt me with Ronaldo, I might not be able to stand it anymore...

Gu Ran cleared his throat calmly, "Mr. Mendes, I know there will be many benefits to joining Hotifoot, but what I am more concerned about is, how do you position me? What can you bring to me? What are the career benefits?”

How to position this is actually very important.

Mendes came to talk in person, which shows that Mendes really values ​​Gu Ran, but if Mendes just treats Gu Ran as an ordinary football genius, it doesn't mean much.

But if Mendes positions Gu Ran as a "future superstar" and is personally responsible for all Gu Ran's management matters, it would be worth continuing the conversation.

Mendes raised his eyebrows in surprise, then grinned and said: "Gu, you asked a very good question. To be honest, after watching your highlights, I think you are a rare star. , I think you will probably grow into a Marcelo-like star in the future, and of course you will be better than Marcelo."

Gu Ran felt slightly disappointed.

Of course Marcelo is good, a top left back, but if it was just Marcelo...

Just listen to Mendes continue: "This is what I thought after watching your collection, but when I met you in person, I realized that I thought of you too simply. You are not Marcelo, you are Cristiano Ronaldo, you have the same strong personality as Chris."

shit...

Mendes, are you trying to pull some emotional strings with me?

My little heart is pounding again because of what you said!
Mendes continued: "Gu, you asked me about my positioning of you. I can officially answer you now. I position you as the new Cristiano Ronaldo, but you are completely different from Cristiano Ronaldo. The presence."

"Chris is already the most successful star in the world, and you are not his shadow. You will be another world-class star with a different career, different positions, different playing styles, and different personalities."

"I will personally provide you with brokerage services in the same way that I served Chris and José, including your club contract, your advertising rights, your scandal handling and public relations image building, including the company you run. Business, including your investment projects, including your legal and tax matters, and even your entertainment preferences, will be handled by me personally. In a word - you will enjoy the same as Cristiano Ronaldo in Gestifut service treatment.”

"There is a truth in this world, that is, the strong are always strong." "Cristiano Ronaldo is the strong."

"You are also a strong person. You are a strong person different from Cristiano Ronaldo. You are an unprecedented strong person in the history of football."

"I dare say that no agent in this world can be worthy of you except me."

"So, you can only let me be your agent."

"Because I am also the strongest, and I only serve the strongest."

"Gu, join Hotifoot. You just need to play football quietly, and I will make you the most valuable star in the world besides Chris!"

What the hell!

The same treatment as Cristiano Ronaldo, building towards a world superstar of Cristiano Ronaldo level... This is really awesome!

Since the world's most powerful agent has said all that, there is nothing to worry about.

Gu Ran then asked calmly: "Mr. Mendes, if I ask you to be my agent, how much commission share will I need to pay you?"

The agent doesn’t work for nothing!It’s about making money from the players!

Hearing this question, Mendes smiled happily.

Mendes knew he had succeeded.

"My dear Gu, although talking about money will hurt your feelings, it is indeed best to explain the commission first."

"A football agent's commission is generally divided into three parts."

"The first part is your salary. For this part, I usually charge 2.5%-5%."

"The second part is your commercial profit commission. This part includes your image rights, advertising endorsements, program announcement fees, brand sharing, etc. For this part, I usually charge 15%-20%."

"The third part is the share of investment income. Please believe that you will definitely spend more money than you earn. You need me to help you invest. I will charge 10%-20% for this part of the investment income." share and corresponding asset custody fees.”

Gu Ran smiled and said, "This commission ratio is very high."

Mendes laughed and said, "Yes, my commission in the industry is relatively high, but I am really worth the price. There are many small agents who claim to be free, but in fact, the free ones are the most expensive. Because the places where they make their money are the dangerous places that you can’t see.”

"In addition to a brokerage company, my Hotifoot company also has a legal consulting company, which has the best sports lawyers in the world, and a financial accounting company, which is full of They are elites who are familiar with the taxation of various countries. They also have a security company filled with top retired special forces, an image and public relations company, and chain hotels and nightclubs around the world."

"As long as you join Hotifoot, these subsidiaries will do their best to serve you."

"Of course, that's not the point. The point is, the quotes I just told you are just quotes for ordinary players."

"What is an average player by my standards?"

"I might as well give you a few names: Falcao, Pepe, Marcelo, Deco."

"Yes, they are all world-class stars, but in my case, their commissions are based on those of ordinary players."

"In my standards, there are also extraordinary players, and currently there is only one, and that is Cristiano Ronaldo."

"The quotation I gave Chris was 2.04% on salary, 12.51% on business profits, and 8.58% on investment income."

"Because Chris deserves it."

"As for you, as I just said, I regard you as a player of the same level as Chris, so my commission quotation for you will be similar to Chris's commission quotation."

"I can give you 2.2% on salary, 13% on business profits, and 9.5% on investment income."

Mendes said very sincerely: "Dear Gu, believe me, this is my greatest sincerity. Please don't care about how much I can earn. The key is that I can help you earn much more than you think." wealth!"

Gu Ran couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Mendez's commission offer was honest and sincere.

Although it is higher than Cristiano Ronaldo, it is much lower than world-class stars such as Marcelo and Deco!
but……

Just talking about a broker's commission is overkill, right?
Gu Ran smiled and said, "Mr. Mendes, I have no objection to the commission on salary and business profits, and I have no objection to the commission on investment income, but I want to make the decision myself on investment projects."

Mendes laughed, "Of course. Do you want to invest in hotels? Or real estate? Or the stock market? Cryptocurrency? Trust me, I can give you the most inside information."

Gu Ran said calmly: "I want to invest in a football club - specifically, Southampton Club."

Mendes was stunned, "What...I, I have been working in the industry since 1996, and I have never, never heard such a request..."

Gu Ran shrugged, "Well, now you heard it."

Mendes' eyes widened in astonishment, "Gu, are you serious? The total share capital of Southampton Club is at least 1 million pounds! Moreover, Southampton Club is not a sure-profit deal, it is extremely risky. big!"

Gu Ran smiled and said: "I know, but I just want to buy it. I hope that Hotifoot Company can set up a club investment company to buy at least 1% of the Southampton Club for me in the next year. shares come.”

Mendes shook his head and said: "Gu, please forgive me for saying that this is too difficult - buying shares in Southampton Club is not like going to the market to buy food. We are willing to buy, but others may not be willing to sell. Southampton The club's equity is very complex and there are many small shareholders. The transactions involved will be very cumbersome and may result in a premium. With such an urgent purchase, the final transaction price may exceed 1.5 million pounds or even 2 million pounds! Such a large amount of funds... risks Too high!"

Gu Ran smiled calmly and said: "Mr. Mendes, the time has come to test whether you are the world's strongest agent. Are you willing to take risks and invest for me? Promise to buy me 1% of Southampton's shares within one year. I will join your Hotifoot."

Mendes felt for the first time that things were a little tricky.

He has been in football for so many years, and this is really the first time he has encountered such an opponent.

Mendes thought he had convinced Gu Ran with his sharp tongue, but he didn't expect that Gu Ran would give him such a big test at the last moment.

Mendes frowned and thought for a moment, "Gu, God, you are only 17 years old. Do we really want to talk about such a sophisticated investment plan? Even if we purchase 1% of the shares in one year, the funds used will probably be too much. It’s over 50 million pounds! Gu, this is not very realistic. How about I recommend another way to make money? If you don’t like real estate or the stock market, we can also invest in games. Young people all like games!”

Gu Ran smiled and shook his head, "No, Mr. Mendes, I just want to buy Southampton Club. I have feelings for this club, and I believe that I can bring this club from the English League to the Premier League." , I also believe that I can make this English League One club triple its assets within 2 years - investing in this club is actually investing in myself. I will help Southampton Club win the League One Championship and win them. I have never won the League Cup. I will help Southampton win the Europa League in the second year. I will help them win the English Championship and the FA Cup. I will lead them to promotion. The Premier League - there is no football project that makes more money than my own."

Mendes’ eyes suddenly lit up!
Yes, if you look at it from this perspective, investing in Southampton Club now is definitely a good deal that will ensure you make a profit without losing any money!
Gu Ran added: "As a Southampton player, it is not convenient for me to come forward directly, so I need you to set up an investment company for me to purchase shares. Of course, I also need you to advance funds for me in the early stage - but I won't I will pay the service fee and interest for this advance at an annualized rate of 5%, and guarantee to pay off the money within 3 years. I can use my own salary and all business Profit as collateral.”

This is tantamount to mortgaging your entire future to Hotifoot!

Mendes suddenly became excited, "Gu, do you really want to do this? Are you really... able to repay this advance within three years?"

Gu Ran smiled and said: "Mr. Mendes, if you have investigated me, you should know that my parents also have investment companies in China, and I also have a live streaming company under my own name. Their profits may still be It’s not too high, but it will definitely explode within a year or two.”

Mendes nodded, "Yes, I know this. But..."

Gu Ran added: "What you don't know is that I am still hand-drawing scripts for Marvel and DC. There are currently three scripts being filmed, and there will be a fourth soon. Next year, I will collect them." The income from these movies, and just the movie income alone, can reach more than 3 million pounds."

"What..." Mendes was stunned!

He is obviously here to discuss the future football superstar's contract. How come this future football superstar can write Hollywood scripts?
This, this, this... is indeed different from Cristiano Ronaldo!

Mendes rubbed his hands excitedly, "Oh, Gu, you are really a super, super, huge treasure! Leave it to me to purchase the equity of Southampton Club! I will ask my legal attorney immediately The department prepares the contract! Welcome to Hotifoot!"

Gu Ran also held Mendes' hand with satisfaction, "I am also very happy to be Cristiano Ronaldo's classmate."

——Negotiation skill +4 is still very powerful.

Just move your tongue and let Hotifoot advance the money to buy Southampton Club!

From this moment on, the territory of my football empire began to be built!
