American winner takes all

Chapter 442 The Gears of Destiny Keep Turning
Next it was Beckham and Cavani's turn to discuss the specific details. The lengthy terms made Ethan bored, so he chose to leave early.

In addition to several assistants, the female translator who left with Ethan also left.

"Cavani has gotten a great deal from this cooperation, at least for now," Ethan muttered.

"Do you think there is a better partner than him?" Susan asked at this time.

Before Ethan could speak, the female translator standing in the corner interrupted: "Cavani is currently the most well-known Italian agent, but who knows what will happen in a few years? Most of the players he represents are older."

Agents and players achieve each other's success. If an agent hits the jackpot, his success will also rise. The representative of this group is the Portuguese player Mendes.

"So, you know someone better?" Ethan asked back.

The other party did not comment: "I'm just used to seeing this."

Ethan then looked at Susan, who said she was Brazilian and was responsible for providing legal work for Brazilian players and clubs in Italy.

"I can speak seven languages. If you need a reliable translator, I might be a good choice." The other party recommended himself.

"What's your name?" Ethan asked.

“Rafaela Pimenta, from São Paulo.”

Ethan knew another "Rafaela" who was Giselle's sister.

"If you are familiar with Italy, you can act as our guide." Ethan felt that this woman translated very efficiently. She was not very pretty, which made her not overshadow the guests. She also had a kind of affinity when she spoke, so Ethan accepted her self-recommendation.

"Of course, sir." Rafaela Pimenta nodded, looking very happy. In addition to Ethan's generosity and the generous fee, she also saw in Ethan his ambition to get involved in sports agency, which was exactly what she needed.

The reason why Ethan did this was actually very simple. There was no "salary cap" in European and American football, and various bidders emerged one after another, which was an absolute piece of fat meat for sports agents. Moreover, the agents here were fighting on their own and were very scattered, unlike the "Boras" who dominated the baseball world, which was suitable for Ethan to defeat one by one.

At this time, Rafaela Pimenta was still an unknown little person. Even she could not think of her own limit. Ethan did not know that she would inherit Raiola's mantle and become the most famous woman in football. She represented a large number of top stars, the most representative of which was to facilitate Haaland to join Manchester City...

·
"Sicily has been ruled by Greece, Rome, Byzantium, Arabia, Norman, Hohenstaufen and Aragon in history. These civilizations merged here, and the temple in front of us now was built during the ancient Greek occupation."

Rafaela Pimenta pointed to a majestic stone building not far away.

Behind her was Ethan and several members of the Angel Cheerleaders, and they were surrounded by security personnel. As it was the off-season, there were no other tourists in the entire attraction except Ethan and his group.

Ethan was hugging people on both sides at this moment, Summer Artis on the left and Brand Roderick on the right.

Lisa Degen, Nicole Marie Lenz and Karen McDougall walked ahead of the three.

The five of them were wearing identical red and white striped retro dresses, flat sandals made of brown leather, and had very different facial styles and hair colors, forming a spectacle that every man dreams of.

It was Ethan who suggested visiting the small town of Syracuse in Sicily, but the others had no interest in the historical sites from ancient Greece, so Ethan only called these five people.

"Ethan, what's so good about these bare stone pillars? When are we going back?" Karen McDougal, the one the big golden retriever favored the most, suggested at this time. Since joining the cheerleading team, she has not had much private time at all, and it is impossible for her to meet the big golden retriever.

"Yeah, Ethan, it's too hot here." Lisa Degen made an eaves with her hands and looked up at the scorching sun.

"How about going surfing?" former model Nicole Marie Lenz suddenly asked.

"I agree!" Brandt Roderick beside Ethan seemed eager to try.

“That’s only after we’ve visited these temples,” Ethan said.

If this was the case with five people, it would be even more difficult to satisfy the whole team if they were all together. No matter what was done, there would always be people who were dissatisfied. That was why Ethan asked everyone to travel separately in Sicily.

Seeing what Ethan said, the five women naturally followed Ethan and wandered around the temple.

As they walked along, Ethan realized that these people had very little knowledge of history. In comparison, they were more concerned about the new color of lipstick and the sweet local cake delicacies.

"American West Coast sweethearts..." Rafaela Pimenta laughed and whispered when she heard the idiotic questions that lacked common sense coming out of these women's mouths.

As for Ethan, in addition to appreciating the local cultural landscape along the way, he also appreciated the golden ratio around him.

I just felt that the heads of these statues were so big and white, and the carpet was so soft.

Ethan's movements were very natural, and they looked like an old couple, or rather, he treated the people around him as substitutes for the wives' group.

However, Summer and Brand did not dare to resist at all when faced with their boss's "harassment".

Internally, every cheerleader knows Ethan's preferences and knows that this will come sooner or later. This is the price of getting rich financial rewards and quickly accumulating popularity.

To be honest, they were a little panicked at first, but as time went by and they saw the results of other people, they gradually accepted it all. Especially after hearing the inside stories of other stars, they were even glad that they met Ethan instead of the uglier, fatter, greasy and cruel boss.

Ethan was now standing behind Lisa Degen, who was leaning on the railing, looking at the ruins of the Coliseum below.

Feeling Ethan standing behind her, Lisa slightly straightened her waist intentionally or unintentionally, trying to stimulate her boss with her distance.

"You didn't come to find us for such a long time, so we had no choice but to use toys to deal with it." Karen McDougall looked at Ethan with some resentment.

Speaking of which, the five of them are from the Playboy school. Even though three of them have never appeared in a magazine, they are influenced by their environment and have unrestrained personalities.

Then she took the initiative to hug Ethan and gave her boss a long kiss.

"We agreed that we could just play during the day and not fight! Why did you rush ahead?" Lisa Degen was a little angry, but she kissed him without showing any weakness.

"Ethan, who do you think is better between the two?" Karen McDougall asked quickly afterwards.

Ethan said it was difficult to tell who was winning.

So the two women who refused to give in to each other prepared to compete in ventriloquism tonight.

The remaining three naturally could not escape Ethan's bullying, and the afternoon passed in a flash.

This time when they arrived at the small town on Sicily, Susan and the others were not there. Apart from the five people, only Raffaella Pimenta was left.

Rafaela Pimenta couldn't sleep that night, with loud noises and poker sounds constantly echoing in her ears. Just by listening to the sound, she could feel Ethan next door sailing in the vast ocean, facing the wind and waves alone. This kind of live broadcast is much more exciting than watching a video. Rafaela Pimenta didn't sleep much at all, so she looked a little listless the next day, with big dark circles under her eyes.

Near noon the next day, Rafaela waited until Ethan finished his morning exercise before knocking on the door. Looking at the five women in the room, she did not avoid them and talked about her new idea.

Ethan asked the other five women to take a shower.

"You mean, you've also set up a brokerage company and you hope I can invest in it?"

"Yes, our company is still in its infancy. I have already communicated with my partner last night, and he is willing to join you."

"Who is your partner?"

"His name is Mino Raiola."

Ethan felt familiar with the name, but that was all.

Raffaella Pimenta and Mino Raiola had just set up their agency and were not as famous as Cavani. The funds they needed were certainly not much. Ethan generously nodded and agreed to the request for capital injection.

From now on, Rafaela Pimenta will act under the name of Angel Agency, and if Ethan needs her, she will be there to interpret for him.

"Where are we going next?" asked Rafaela Pimenta.

"Before going to Portugal, I would like to ask you to help me find someone. He is a local agent in Portugal. His name is Jorge Mendes." Ethan said.

"I've never heard of such an agent among the Portuguese." Rafaela Pimenta shook her head, thinking that this person was also unknown.

"Be patient, you can contact him." Ethan remembered that Jorge Mendes had officially switched careers to become an agent at this time, so it was not difficult to find his contact information.

Rafaela can speak Portuguese, so she is the most suitable person for this job.

·
A few days later, a middle-aged man named Jorge Mendes walked out of the hotel's conference room. He seemed to attach great importance to this meeting. Even in the hot summer, he was dressed in a suit and tie, and was meticulously dressed.

Ethan, who was sitting in the conference room at the moment, had a completely different style. He wore a loose Hawaiian-style shirt, paired with wide beach pants, and there was a cocktail on the table in front of him. He looked like a typical tourist.

But Mendes did not dare to neglect Ethan and worked hard to promote his differences from other agents.

"What I value is not the transfer fee, but the player himself. I am not the kind of agent who will sell the player and then leave him alone. I will always observe the player's condition. My help to the player is all-round and runs through the player's entire career."

Ethan nodded: "Then please tell me what transfer operations you have completed."

Mendes was referring to his move of Portuguese goalkeeper Nuno Espirito Santo to Spanish side Deportivo La Coruna a few years ago.

"One million transfer fee! I increased the goalkeeper's value tenfold!" Mendes seemed very excited.

Ethan, who was sitting opposite him, remained expressionless.

Mendes suddenly felt like he was facing an interviewer. He could only smile and say, "I know these are just small roles. Compared with superstars like Ronaldo and Beckham, they are nothing. But I believe that one day, I will also create the world's top transfer and have the world's greatest star in my hands."

He seemed full of confidence.

He used to be a player, but he was not very impressive during his playing career. He was obviously not cut out for football. However, he also showed another characteristic during this period - a keen business sense.

He discussed with the club chairman and obtained the contract rights for the stadium advertising boards, and opened a video store outside the club.

After retiring, he became a nightclub owner. According to the normal plot, he is still a nightclub owner now. However, one of his regular customers in the nightclub was the Portuguese goalkeeper Nuno, so he accidentally embarked on the path of a sports agent.

And just a few years later, he arranged for a player to join Real Madrid for a whopping $9600 million, which made him an instant hit and he became the undisputed number one agent in football.

"So, if you can inject money and help me, I will beat Vega and knock on the door of Sporting Lisbon."

Vega is Figo's agent. Compared with Mendes now, he is a big shot. Without external intervention, Mendes cannot defeat him. Both of them became interested in this club because this club discovered a Portuguese talented teenager.

"I'll support you." Ethan tapped the table with his index finger knuckles.

"Thank you, thank you very much, sir!" Mendes made a prayer gesture.

Ethan pushed his chair away and stood up.

Mendes immediately recommended to Ethan several secluded beaches with complete facilities.

·
After traveling through several countries, Ethan finally returned to London. Although the Angel cheerleading team's European activities had not yet ended, Ethan had to leave early. He had to rush back to Los Angeles to attend an important event - the opening ceremony of the Angel Stadium.

This major project cost hundreds of millions of dollars and was completed in just two years. Perhaps in another country, this speed might not be a big deal, but in America, it is definitely a miracle.

And he returned to Los Angeles, naturally, to say goodbye to his models, but this time, neither the Gisele sisters, Kate Moss, nor Adriana and Alexandra were there. The former went to Los Angeles in advance, and the latter attended a fashion event in Paris.

As for Sarah Douglas, she was also in Paris. There was only one model left in the entire London headquarters who was familiar to Ethan - Isabel Goeller.

This year, Isabel Goeller is already seventeen years old. She has passed her "girlhood" and officially started to enter the modeling industry. As a younger sister, her debut path was much smoother than those of her senior sisters. Not only did her senior sisters take her to events, but the company also devoted resources to her, allowing her to be interviewed and appear on TV and magazines.

And Isabel Goeller did not disappoint Ethan's expectations. In addition to her outstanding appearance, her devilish figure is still fresh in the memory of countless people. At this time, Isabel Goeller had a unique hobby - fitness.

She is an absolute fitness fanatic, and has developed very perfect abdominal muscles.

After picking up Ethan from the airport, Isabel didn't know where to take Ethan for a moment. Instead, Ethan took the initiative to suggest that he wanted to see how Isabel usually worked out.

"Really?" Isabel seemed a little nervous.

"Of course." Ethan nodded repeatedly.

Ethan had made a similar overture to Carolina on Little St. James Island, and he was doing the same now.

I really love working out, don't I? Ethan asked himself.
