Coaching career started as a college team coach

Wei Le has actually been thinking about this matter of agents for a long time.

As his performance gets better and better, he now has more and more off-field matters to deal with. Rather than an agent, it is better to say that he lacks a personal assistant to help him deal with things outside of football.

Mendes' team once found him and asked him if he needed help in this regard. But the problem with Mendes' team is that on the one hand, they are not very familiar with the situation in China.

On the other hand, the connection between Mendes' team and Wolves is a bit too deep.

When Fosun Group just got involved in the football industry, it signed some cooperation agreements with Mendes, mainly to let Mendes help Wolves recommend some players.

Of course, after Wei Le arrived, this cooperation agreement made some restrictions, and Wolves did not have to introduce players according to Mendes' suggestions. In this way, Mendes became a paid scout.

However, the agreement between Mendes and Fosun Group is still there, and the cooperative relationship is relatively stable.

Wei Le, at least for now, does not want his boss's partner to represent his contract.

For various reasons, Wei Le didn't want to get too close to Fosun. He is the head coach of the Wolves, but not the head coach of Fosun.

Therefore, the position of Wei Le's agent, or assistant, has always been vacant.

This time in China, Wei Le met Jiang Lin.

Wei Le really wants to give Jiang Lin a thumbs up for his business ability. In just a few days, he screened the activities, interviews and endorsements that Wei Le had ignored for a long time, and picked out the ones that are worth doing.

Just as Wei Le wanted, Jiang Lin has a very large domestic network of people and is very familiar with the domestic rules of the game.

In less than a month, the effect was immediate. Wei Le's commercial value in China is being steadily developed.

Reflected in Wei Le, Jiang Lin called Wei Le every few days, not for anything else, but to send him money.

What Wei Le valued more was Jiang Lin's professionalism.

During this period, Wei Le directly threw most of the business to Jiang Lin. Jiang Lin must know that the direction of commercial development of the top sports industry in the country is decided in his own hands.

Wei Le is such a "big shot". Even if Jiang Lin does some small tricks and works for personal gain, Wei Le can't see it.

However, it is gratifying that Jiang Lin handles such "power" very carefully. Before making decisions, he will basically communicate with Wei Le in various forms.

He will explain to Wei Le what kind of consequences a choice will bring, and will implement it only after getting Wei Le's affirmation. Wei Le even thinks that Jiang Lin is a bit as considerate as the novice tutorials of those stand-alone games.

Unfortunately, the contract between Fosun Group and Jiang Lin was only signed in July and August, which is equivalent to the start of the new season. Then, after the start of the new season, Wei Le will return to the state of "lonely man".

Now that he knows that Jiang Lin is essentially working independently of Fosun Group, Wei Le is relieved.

"In the future, as you can see, my work focus will undoubtedly be on football. So I need a reliable person to help me deal with all these things outside of football."

"Rather than just finding a famous person, I think I should trust the trustworthy people around me."

At this point, Wei Le said sincerely, "If you are willing, why don't you come to help me deal with this matter?"

"This..." Jiang Lin didn't know how to answer for a while.

"It may be a bit sudden." Wei Le smiled bitterly, "If this conflicts with your career plan, it's okay. However, if you have a recommended candidate in the future, you can also tell me."

Jiang Lin shook his head, "No, I am very happy!"

"I just didn't expect it, because after all, whether it is at home or abroad, there are many colleagues with wider connections and stronger abilities than me. You can definitely choose a better one."

At this point, Wei Le was relieved.

"Why, don't you have confidence? This is different from your calm appearance a few days ago." Wei Le said with a smile.

Jiang Lin seemed a little embarrassed for a moment.

"I have met some big agents. They are indeed capable and well-connected, but they often seem to be very...dominant." Wei Le chose his words carefully. "The agent of one of my players almost tricked him into joining a club he was not interested in at all. Another one spared no effort to push him to a better 'money path'."

"There are others who think that players have little thinking ability, so they tamper with the contract."

"Or they replace the playersTo accept some agreements that players do not agree to. "

"I think that whether it is an agent or an agent, or something else, the first point is that it must be truly for the client. "Weile said seriously, "You should know Neymar, Neymar's agent is his father. "

"There is some truth in this, after all, a father will never deceive his children. "

"I want to find an agent because I hope he can help me deal with matters that I am not good at, so that I can devote myself to football. But if my agent will take advantage of my incompetence in the future and cause a 'fire in the backyard', it will really be a loss. "

"That's why I thought of you. "

"You are reliable and capable, and more importantly, you respect my decision. "

After saying this, Wei Le stopped talking and left time for Jiang Lin to think about it.

In fact, there was nothing to think about.

The opportunity to become the agent of the top domestic sports star and the first Chinese football player is not always available. Jiang Lin knows the commercial value that Wei Le has not yet tapped.

If he is the one to tap these commercial values ​​in the future, I am afraid he will definitely become famous. Not to mention money, if you follow Wei Le, will there be less money?

In addition, he also saw Wei Le's trust in him. Working here with Wei Le, he does not need to worry that Wei Le will give him instructions and an outsider will guide an insider.

As the head coach, Wei Le knows better than anyone how much efficiency can be created by effective division of labor and cooperation.

Jiang Lin did not hesitate any more and nodded.

"Okay, in that case." Wei Le showed a satisfied smile and stretched out his hand, "I will ask you, Mr. Jiang."

"Just call me Jiang Lin." Jiang Lin smiled and shook Wei Le's outstretched right hand.

"Okay, Jiang Lin. "

Jiang Lin quickly took out the contract.

The composition of Jiang Lin's work income is the more common "low base salary + high commission" model, which is basically determined by the specific matters he helps Wei Le to handle.

But one thing is worth affirming, that is, the money will definitely not be less.

In this way, Jiang Lin no longer needs to take domestic work. Before this, he mainly wandered around various famous artists, and there were not many sports business.

The people he served were actually not fixed.

Now, Jiang Lin only needs to help Wei Le alone.

Wei Le also gave Jiang Lin additional funds to let Jiang Lin set up a team specifically to serve Wei Le.

Sports agents are now gradually developing in the direction of teamwork and groupization, which naturally has its merits.

In this way, Jiang Lin's work pressure is much less, leaving those trivial matters to Jiang Lin's team to arrange, and Jiang Lin mainly handles major matters.

Finally solving the agent issue, Wei Le said goodbye to his family and friends, and followed CCTV on the plane to Russia.

The World Cup is about to begin.
