Solo All-Around Agent

Chapter 2

“What is this… .”

Song Jae-jin lightly touched her hologram floating in front of her.

“Did you go crazy after being hit in the head?”

A ball suddenly fell from the sky.

After that, the ball disappeared and a hologram appeared in front of me, just as the ball was absorbed into the hand.

Song Jae-jin rubbed her eyes and touched the hologram window with her hand, but the hologram in front of her was still visible.

‘What the hell is this?’

[Existence to help the subject, Song Jae-jin.]

“Are you responding to my words? no. more help than that? what how?”

[A tutorial system is applied for a smooth conversation.][Yes Or No.]

“Tutorial system? uh. Yes.”

When Song Jae-jin answered yes, all the windows in front of her disappeared and a new one appeared one by one.

[0. Features currently available.][One. The first main function of the system – information presentation.]

“Information function?”

[Kim Do-hyun of the Korean professional baseball team Hornets is quite sensitive to public opinion.]

As soon as the message came to mind, a strange window popped up again when I said the information function.

“Oh my gosh.”

After a brief moment of surprise at the information in front of him, Song Jae-jin seemed to have found a clue, and his thoughts were focused on Moon Kang-hyun’s contract.

“If you put this to good use.”

[2. In addition to the currently available functions, there are schedule management, data search, and skill functions.]

“A skill function?”

[3. It is a function that can obtain the ability to be helpful to the target.]

“Is it like a game?”

However, after thinking for a while, Song Jae-jin asked the question that he thought was the most important.

“Why are you helping me, putting everything else aside?”

[4. The system exists to make the target’s dream come true.]

“dream?”

When Jaejin heard the name of the system, he suddenly remembered the movies he watched with his father when he was young.

“Then what is the criterion for the success of Kang-hyun Moon’s contract?”

In the hologram window that appeared in front of me, Kang-hyun Moon said that the reward for the success of the contract was the sports agent manager.

[5. The standard of success is evaluated by the system after Moon Kang-hyun’s contract.][6. When the contract is satisfactory, you can get the system as a reward.]

“What if you are not satisfied?”

[7. The system will be deleted.]

After that, the system stopped talking to itself.

I still felt like I was possessed by a ghost, but I thought about it calmly.

‘Information and skills spoken by the system. Just look at these two. This is definitely an opportunity.’

And as soon as the face of Director Ahn Ki-yeol, who mocked him as if to laugh at him, came up, he felt his excited heart calmly subside.

‘This is a life-changing event. It is a contract that must be unconditionally successful.’

Present information. skill.

and other features.

Exactly how it will happen will have to be experienced, but it seemed clear that what came to him was an opportunity.

[Switches to tutorial mode.][Only some functions are available. Temporarily transfer the system.]

Song Jae-jin, who returned home from the Han River, did not fall asleep right away and was deeply in thoughts about Moon Kang-hyun’s contract.

The information function was floating in front of his eyes.

‘Hornets. and Hammers. What the player wants is the Hornets. But is the Hornets the best for what players want?’

The Stove League is almost in the final stages, and most of the free agents have been signed.

Considering the schedule for the Hornets to go to spring camp, the remaining time is about this week.

It wasn’t a long time, but it wasn’t short either.

When he turned on the large-capacity iced Americano he had bought at the convenience store, his head began to spin quickly as if it had been doped.

‘Isn’t there only a game of chicken?’

In the end, he thought that the best way to get the best out of a given situation was a game of chicken.

Whether it’s Hammers or Hornets.

It was because I thought it was the most effective way to use the remaining two weeks until spring camp.

‘Time matters.’

Considering the time required for the bottom work, the practically available time for negotiations is about a week.

Once you know your opponent, you can make a specific plan to deal with it, so I decided to try the search function, which is a function of the system.

‘First we need to know who is on the negotiating table in the Hornets.’

‘Find information about the Hornets Front.’

If it was an FA contract like that of Moon Kang-hyun, it was clear that the operation team leader or general manager would come out.

Shortly thereafter, search results for the Hornets Front came to mind.

‘Director Kim Do-hyun.’

“uh?”

And Song Jae-jin posted information from the tutorial.

[Kim Do-hyun of the Korean professional baseball team Hornets is quite sensitive to public opinion.]

‘This is it. was the foreman I thought he was a simple operation team leader.’

Song Jae-jin, who realized the meaning of the information presented by the system, smiled at the picture of Director Kim Do-hyun that appeared in front of him.

‘The target is set.’

According to the information, Kim Do-hyun is a parachute from the Hornets’ parent company, and he likes baseball, but his talent as a general manager was a complete novice. He is also young in his late 30s.

‘Find shortstop status for Hornets and Hammers.’

It’s called a chicken game, but if there are shortstop candidates who can fill Moon’s vacancy in the Hornets, it’s meaningless.

‘I’m sure Hammers’ shortstop is a hole.’

If Kang-Hyeon Moon was missing, the Hornets’ shortstop position was definitely a problem.

Considering the shortstop’s defensive burden, it was because none of the backup or second-team players had the attack power of Kang-hyeon Moon.

In that way, Jaejin quickly materialized his strategy using the system.

—

The next day, around lunchtime, Jae-jin, who had made an appointment with Kang-hyeon Moon, arrived at the meeting place in advance and checked his documents.

“WAR is 5.72 with a batting average of 30 and 5 pennies in 133 games.”

Considering his position as shortstop, he was clearly an impactful record.

The fact that the popularly used WAR index recorded a high of 5.72 means that he performed above the All-Star level last season.

And that he’s a shortstop.

In particular, the shortage of good shortstops since last season was a point worth raising Moon’s ransom.

‘First, we need to know why Moon Kang-hyun insists on the Hornets.’

It was Moon Kang-hyun’s stubbornness to force the Hornets to beat Kang-hyun Moon’s contract.

“Good morning.”

And just at the right time, Moon Kang-hyeon opened the door and came in. Song Jae-jin organized his data and greeted him.

“welcome.”

Song Jae-jin ordered coffee for Moon Kang-hyun and shook hands.

“You have worked hard to come. How is the contract going?”

“I have offers from Hornets, Hammers, Wolves and Kings.”

Song Jae-jin unfolded the contract from each team.

“Yoohoo, there are a lot of them.”

Moon Kang-hyun looked at each team’s contracts on the desk one by one.

“I’ve heard about it, but I like the Hammers contract the best.”

“That’s why we’re working hard to win.”

In the case of Hammers, he was aiming for a major signing in the free agent market this time, probably because he was frustrated at the threshold of the postseason.

“Hmm.”

Kang-hyun Moon knew him well and strongly hoped to stay with the Hornets, but it was also true that he was moved by the amount of Hammers.

“Hammers… .”

“It is the biggest hand in the FA market right now. According to the news, it is said that the signing of second baseman Hyeon-woo Jung is close. And… .”

“Are you Hyun-woo Jeong?”

Moon Kang-hyeon, who was listening to Song Jae-jin, frowned at the word Jeong Hyeon-woo and asked.

‘Is what you heard from Jaehyun Kim true?’

“Yes, it’s Hyun-woo Jung. He used to play for the Kings.”

In the same middle school, high school, and even the national team.

In response to Kang-hyeon Moon’s trembling response despite the many years spent together, Jae-jin Song decided to close the story of Hyun-woo Jung and bring up the main topic.

“Well… .”

However, Moon Kang-hyun’s troubles continued, and Song Jae-jin, who was moderately rested, placed Hammers’ contract and Hornets’ contract side by side.

The important thing in today’s meeting was to listen to Kang-hyun Moon’s true feelings.

However, if he asks why he wants to stay with the Hornets, he would be wary of himself when he first saw him, so he slowly released what he had planned last night.

“Aren’t pros going to prove their worth in money after all? The biggest problem is that Hammers’ four-year total is more than the Hornets’ six-year total.”

“… … ”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“If not, do you have any reason to stick with the Hornets?”

Kang-hyeon Moon, who had been knocking on the desk with his fingertips, carefully opened his mouth after a lot of thought.

“I am very sensitive and sensitive to my surroundings. So, after Sang-gil and Kim Gyeong-gil came to second base a few years ago, my grades have also skyrocketed, and I am in the most comfortable state right now. To be honest, I don’t have the confidence to go to Hammers and adjust to what I am now.”

“Ah, so… .”

Song Jae-jin nodded his head to understand his feelings.

Probably no one is more affected by superstitions and jinxes than athletes.

It is very sensitive than ordinary people think, and the category is beyond imagination.

“I want to stay with the Hornets.”

Hearing Moon Kang-hyun’s words, Song Jae-jin nodded his head and looked directly into Moon’s eyes.

“I understand. Of course it can. Anyway, it’s my job as an agent to help Kang-hyun Moon like that. We will do our best to make a contract in the best way.”

“Well. The agent I was in charge of the other day said that I had to go to Hammers unconditionally, so I was embarrassed.”

Song Jae-jin thought that maybe if it wasn’t for Ahn Ki-yeol’s work, he might have made a similar proposal.

However, under the present circumstances, he never intended to do the same as in the past.

“Do not worry. Isn’t it the agent’s job to bring out the best direction Moon Kang-hyun wants?”

“That’s fortunate.”

After hearing Moon Kang-hyun’s sincerity, Song Jae-jin took out a full-fledged business.

“And the reason we met today is also because of our negotiating strategy with the Hornets.”

“A negotiating strategy?”

In the case of the negotiating strategy he was going to try, there was a risk, and Moon Kang-hyeon’s help was essential, so Song Jae-jin explained in detail the negotiation he was trying to do.

“Isn’t that too risky? Can I succeed?”

“It’s not going to get any worse on the terms of the deal. And why don’t you sign a contract with the agent to do this?”

Moon Kang-hyeon, who looked into Song Jae-jin’s eyes, nodded his head with a smile on his lips.

“Yes. Okay. I will make sure that I cooperate in the areas where I can cooperate.”

“Thank you.”

“Instead, please let me know the progress of the contract. Shouldn’t I know what’s going on too?”

When Kang-hyeon Moon said he would fully cooperate, Jae-jin Song clenched his fist and nodded his head.

It was because Moon Kang-hyun had a reason to clearly know the current situation as it was a risky negotiation.

“The most important thing is moderate silence. The stance I should have is that I really want to stay with the Hornets. But I feel sad that my worth is not recognized.”

Moon Kang-hyun smiled bitterly at Song Jae-jin’s words.

“What is that? That’s exactly how I feel right now.”

In response to Moon Kang-hyun’s bitter answer, Song Jae-jin smiled inwardly while maintaining an expressionless expression.

‘You missed the most important part of the plan.’
