Football Giants

Chapter 435: Stop playing with me, okay?

  

   An airplane from Madrid, Spain, landed slowly at London Heathrow Airport.

  

   Half an hour later, Portuguese super agent Jorge Mendes appeared in the coffee shop of a luxurious five-star hotel in the West End of London.

  

   Sitting across from him is Pini Zahavi, who has been very low-key in recent years.

  

"Congratulations, Pini!" Jorge Mendes in a black suit smiled towards Pini Zahavi, raised the coffee cup in his hand, brought it to his mouth, and took a sip Later, it was put down again.

  

   "I heard that you recently made a big deal in France and made a lot of money!"

  

Pini Zahave laughed, "How can you earn more? Hulk and Witsel went to Zenit for nearly 100 million. In European professional football, when it comes to making money, Who has the capabilities of your Jorge?"

  

   Jorge? Mendes smiled and shook his head, "Why do you say that? You are my master!"

  

   "The past!" Pini Zahavi smiled and shook his head and waved his hand.

  

   When Jorge Mendes just made his debut, he was giving hands to a group of internationally renowned super agents.

  

   For example, he is the godfather of Brazilian football, Juan Figel, and Israeli Pini Zahavi’s partner in Portugal. In fact, he is helping them find players and contact the team.

  

   But the shrewd Portuguese soon got out of the way in the circle, and took his own role, making Ferger and Pini Zahavi and other well-known agents before, now they are not popular.

  

   Now, how many people still remember Figel?

  

   I’m afraid it’s gone, right?

  

"Pini, our business is hard work, making money is tiring and difficult, aren't you very good now? You have changed careers to mix capital, and aside from anything else, it is a successful team deal. Millions, more than ten million, isn't it better than us?"

  

   Jorge Mendes has a bit of flattery in his words.

  

   Pini? Zahavi smiled nonchalantly.

  

   He has indeed transformed a lot in the past two or three years. He has gradually turned to team deals and also served as a consultant for some football investment companies, but this is more like a change of career under a compelling situation.

  

   To give a simple example, Abramovich was originally introduced to Mendes by Pini Zahavi.

  

   But then Mendes brought Mourinho. When he was the most popular, he even almost knocked out Pini Zahavi and monopolized the Chelsea transfer transaction.

  

Although the two sides did not fall out because of this incident, Pini Zahavi knew in his heart that this cunning Portuguese was not simple, he belonged to the kind of person who cheated you and made you willing to help him count money. .

  

   "Go ahead, Jorge, what can I do for you?" Pini Zahawi asked lightly.

  

   Nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Hall. This guy doesn’t even have a phone call on weekdays. Would he be so kind that he made a special trip to London for no reason to buy himself coffee?

  

   Whoever believes, whoever is foolish and foolish!

  

   Jorge Mendes squeezed a wry smile and shrugged, "I am indeed here to talk to you."

  

  Pini? Zahavi has a face, I don't believe it.

  

   "Well, since you mentioned it, then I'll talk about it."

  

   The Israelis nodded their heads, as if to say, confessed earlier?

  

   What is the relationship between us? As soon as you slap your ass, I know what you are going to fart!

  

   Still pretending to be garlic with me?

  

   "I hope you can help me make an appointment with Yang Huan in Southampton!"

  

  Pini Zahavi's heart burst when he heard it, and he immediately looked at Jorge Mendes with suspense.

  

  The feeling of "Baidu Qihang★Xifei" seems to be saying, **** you, I finally found another thick leg to hug, now you are digging my corner?

  

   If you dig my corner, let me introduce it to you?

  

   Are you ill, are you?

  

   Jorge Mendes couldn’t laugh or cry, “Pini, there is indeed a deep and deep misunderstanding between us!”

  

   "Really?" Pini Zahavi's tone was not friendly anymore.

  

   As the saying goes, cutting off people’s wealth is like killing a parent.

  

  Pini Zahavi even prepared, if Jorge Mendes was really too much, he would turn his face on the spot!

  

   "Let me tell you this, I am not looking for Yang Huan to recommend players, nor to build relationships, but..."

  

   At this point, Jorge Mendes smiled bitterly, unable to speak.

  

   That kind of feeling is like being cheated by someone!

  

   This also makes Pini Zahavi curious, what's the matter with this Portuguese?

  

   "Do you know Falcao?"

  

   "I know!" Pini Zahavi replied in an angry voice.

  

   Mendes can't help but nod, "I have been helping Falcao to find a team for the past six months, and finally I talked about two, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, and they are almost done."

  

  Pini? Zahavi was angry, you shit, did you deliberately use this to stab me?

  

   Knowing that you are capable, making a Falcao transfer, definitely worth a lot of money, knowing that you are good, okay?

  

   Jorge Mendes saw Pini Zahavi's expression, his helplessness deepened.

  

   "But just yesterday, people from Atletico Madrid suddenly told me to suspend Falcao's transfer negotiations!"

  

  Pini? Zahavi was taken aback, "What qualifications do they have?"

  

   "I am not qualified!" Mendes nodded, "But they have 45% ownership of Falcao!"

  

As a veteran football agent, Pini Zahavi knows better than anyone else. Atletico Madrid vowed to use 40 million to introduce Falcao. In fact, there is not so much at all. They only got Falcao. Less than half of the ownership.

  

   The remaining part should belong to a third-party investment company.

  

   This is also a brand new gameplay that has emerged in European football in recent years.

  

   is somewhat similar to venture capital in Silicon Valley in the United States.

  

Take Falcao as an example. Mendes’ intelligence tells him that Falcao has the potential and talent, and the price is very cheap, so he operates through his own investment company established in a tax haven. Bring some interesting capital to the company, and then use this part of the capital to buy the ownership of Falcao.

  

   Then he moved Falcao to Porto. Through a good relationship with the club, Falcao became popular.

  

   When Falcao was red in the Portuguese Super League, it still failed to attract local tyrants, so they went one step further and moved Falcao to Atletico Madrid.

  

   I am afraid that no one believes that although Atletico Madrid sold Aguero back then, where could the debt-laden bed sheet army have the money to introduce Falcao?

  

   At that time, Mendes’ company paid out part of the money to fund Atletico Madrid, in exchange for more than half of Falcao’s ownership and the club’s concessions on liquidated damages.

  

   Now Falcao’s penalty is 60 million euros!

  

   For those European tyrants, it is just a grit and a stomping!

  

   When Falcao became famous at Atletico Madrid and attracted the attention of the local tycoon team, Mendes took Falcao out of operation again, and the series of transfers in the middle made the venture capital company a lot of money.

  

   Mendes?

  

   In addition to earning part of the difference, his brokerage company has a commission for every transfer!

  

   This is now the most profitable mainstream gameplay in European professional football!

  

   Spain is different from the Premier League, French Ligue 1, Bundesliga and other leagues. They assume that third-party organizations have player ownership.

  

   In La Liga, teams with heavy debts such as Atletico Madrid and Valencia also need third-party investment institutions like Mendes to enter to help them bring in talented players and strengthen their own strength.

  

   Falcao, Negredo, Reyes and other famous players in La Liga are all owned by third parties.

  

   It is reported that 70% of players from the Portuguese Super League are owned by third-party organizations.

  

  Pini? Zahavi couldn't help but laughed at this thought.

  

   I didn’t expect that Jorge Mendes hunted geese all the year round, but he was blinded by the geese!

  

   There are times when the ship capsizes in the gutter!

  

   Mendes felt angry when he saw Pini Zahavi's reaction, but he knew very well that he wanted to ask others and did not dare to attack.

  

   "Pini, I hope you can help me make an appointment with Yang Huan!"

  

  Pini? Zahavi was taken aback, "What does this have to do with Mr. Yang Huan?"

  

   "Don't you know?" Jorge Mendes frowned.

  

  Pini? Zahavi shook his head, "Know what?"

  

"They told me that the Chinese-owned "Baidu 冇航文", which acquired Atletico Madrid a few months ago, was unwilling to carry the huge burden after checking the finances and debts of Atletico Madrid. The price was lost and sold to Yang Huan. "

  

   "Is there such a thing?" Pini Zahavi was taken aback.

  

   This Atletico Madrid is a big pit, how could Master Huan step into it?

  

   Don’t Master Huan know, but any team involved in this kind of third-party player ownership transaction is often the same as drug abuse.

  

   It's easy to catch, but difficult to quit!

  

   Imagine that Atletico Madrid introduced Falcao almost without spending a cent to fill the vacancy of Aguero.

  

   The down payment was given by Mendes and later paid to Porto for the second installment of 7 million euros. Now I still owe the third installment of 5 million euros.

  

   If Falcao leaves now, and the transfer fee that Atletico Madrid can get, and then return the balance to Porto, how much will be left? Can another high-level center be introduced in the transfer market to maintain the overall strength of the team?

  

   The answer is, no!

  

   So, Atletico Madrid has to continue to cooperate with Mendes and others.

  

   Atletico Madrid, Valencia and other teams have experienced deteriorating financial conditions over the past few years, which is not unrelated to their business model.

  

   Drug use can hollow out a person's body, while cooperating with such a third-party organization can hollow out a team's finances.

  

   Of course, for agents and players, they have more advantages than disadvantages.

  

   Because most of the risk pressure is on investors and clubs.

  

  Pini? Zahavi couldn't think of how, with Master Huan's shrewdness, how could he go to this muddy water?

  

   "Pini, do me a favor, okay?" Mendes looked at the Israelis and begged.

  

   He is not easy to ask for help, this time there is really no way.

  

   The benefits are too great and the involvement is too wide. UU Reading www.udukanshu.com

  

   After finally negotiating the transfer target, all investors are waiting to make a fortune.

  

   If the transfer is now suddenly declared bankrupt, what do you think those investors will do?

  

   Those investors who dare to enter football and engage in the gray transaction of third-party ownership investment are not fuel-efficient lamps.

  

   A bad, hard-working foundation, it is likely to be destroyed!

  

   Pini Zahavi also realized the seriousness of the matter.

  

   He doesn't worry about Mendes, he cares about Yang Huan.

  

   Yaohuan Young Master really took over Atletico Madrid, does he know about third-party ownership?

  

   Thinking of this, Pini Zahavi couldn't help but nodded.

  

   In Mendes’ constant thanks, the Israeli took out his cell phone, found Yang Huan’s phone number, and called.

  

   "Sorry, the phone you dialed is turned off!"

  

   Shut down?

  

   Pini? Zahavi smiled helplessly.

  

   For fear that Mendes would not believe it, he also ordered the speakerphone to let the latter hear.

  

   Even Mendes' face turned into bitter gourd.

  

   In an emergency, the phone turned off?

  

  Master Huan, stop playing with me, okay? (To be continued) [] If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Chuangshi Chinese.com to give a reward and click for members. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
