Chapter 52 Mendes at that time
Looking at Mendes in front of him, Hugo secretly despised him, "You are so fucking lucky! You are actually Ronaldo's agent, and with the big tree of Ronaldo as his back, he must be able to earn a lot of money. People can support his brokerage career!"
Look, now I got a lot of agency fees from Hugo.
Hugo always looked at Ronaldo through the eyes of the world, and Sely told him that he sent Mendes for $20. He couldn’t believe it. He didn’t know who Ronaldo’s agent was in his previous life, but he should have Also a ruthless character.
But Mendes, who was sitting in front of him now, gave Hugo a very good impression, polite, enthusiastic and measured.
Hugo never imagined that the $20 that Sely gave Mendes was the largest income Mendes had ever earned since he entered the industry.
Mendes' agent was not intentional, but came from a coincidence. Mendes was born in an ordinary family in Lisbon.His father was an employee of PetroPortugal, and the family lived in the company's welfare housing.Because his father works very hard, his mother weaves straw hats and baskets at home to supplement the family income, and Jr. Mendes goes to Fontay Dahat Beach on weekends to sell the fruits of his mother's labor.
Mendez has been a businessman since childhood, selling used clothes at flea markets.Like most energetic kids, Mendes likes to play soccer with his buddies on the company field next to his apartment.He once worked at the Cornetto ice cream factory, where his job was to hold the ice cream cones and catch the ice cream as it fell from the machine and keep it from falling to the floor.
Mendes, 20, left Lisbon with his widowed brother.He came to Viana do Castelo when he was weak, and with the simple dream of playing in the low-level football league, he joined the Viana people and became a semi-professional player.
Off the field, he still has a businessman's mind, saw the opportunity, opened a video store in an old shopping mall, and later opened a seaside bar, and turned it into a nightclub. He often DJed himself and met here frequently. Players from teams such as Braga, Porto and Guimaraes, he has slowly started to accumulate certain football contacts inadvertently.
When he played for the Raneziz team, he still played an off-court business, taking on the advertising work of the team's stadium, which brought extra income to the team.
Later, I met Nuno, the Portuguese goalkeeper who was still playing for the Victoria team. The two became good friends. Victoria was an underdog. , La Liga is often the first choice for Portuguese players, and Nuno is no exception.
When Nuno and Deportivo were discussing about joining, Nuno thought of this friend of Mendes and asked Mendes if he would be his agent. Mendes didn't even have a license at the time. It doesn't matter now. Mendes has no experience, but he still agreed, so he started his own career as an agent.
Nuno was the No.1 player under him. At that time, he successfully persuaded the chairman of Deportivo Rendoiro to sign Nuno with his own diligence. Naturally, Mendes did not have much intermediary fees.
Now there is only one agent in the Portuguese football circle, Vega, the overlord. The others are scumbags, and Mendes is also a scumbag, so his amateur expansion in the past two years has not been very fast, and he does not have many players. Some big managers look down on him. Ronaldo was also signed by him unintentionally. As for Ronaldo’s potential, he is not sure, but he thinks this kid will definitely be able to appear in the mainstream leagues of European football. He is Vega, he may not like Ronaldo today.
He didn't expect Ronaldo to become his agent not long after he came to Sporting Lisbon last year, and this kid brought him a huge commission this year. Mendes felt that he was simply lucky.
Hugo found Mendes not only because he wanted to see Ronaldo, but because he wanted to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Mendes. There are many big-name agents and brokerage companies in football, but they may not be seen. Going to Trapani, you may not have a crush on Hugo. For example, if Hugo wants to meet Vega now, it depends on whether he is willing or not. Naturally, Hugo doesn't want to make fun of it!
Besides, Trapani is a team that cannot be smaller and does not need those big-name players. Hugo's idea is to spend less money and do more, and buy some players and future stars that are enough for the team. It's not to recruit superstars. Even if superstars are willing to come, Hugo still knows that he can't afford it.
Hugo heard Sely talk about Mendez's situation. This kid will make money, but he is completely small when it comes to the agent, so it is very convenient to deal with.
"On the matter of Cristiano, I want to say thank you! Actually I heard about him last year, I have been to Madeira Funchal, I have seen him play, but you should know I didn't plan to buy a team last year. I have my own team this year. I immediately thought of this little boy I met, so I really hope to see him grow and see him contribute to my team. Effectiveness!" Hugo explained the purchase of Ronaldo, but he made up a lie, he has never been to Funchal, what's so interesting there? !
Mendes didn't know that there was such a tortuous story. He didn't understand why someone would pay a high price for such a child. Now in 99, Ronaldo was only 14 years old. Someone may be willing to pay millions of dollars in transfer fees for him, but Hugo's explanation makes sense.
Because Hugo is the son of a rich family, there is no shortage of such sons and daughters in this world. When they look at each other, they think that Ronaldo is good, so they bought him for a big price. It sounds a bit like buying something called or something. But in fact, players sometimes do.
Mendes doesn't mind that Hugo's team, Trapani, has always been a Serie A team. The important factor is of course money. He, Ronaldo and Sporting Lisbon all make money, so why not do it, besides Serbia Leigh made a promise to him, and Giorgio also made a promise when he arrived. Ronaldo will be able to appear in Serie A at least before he is 19 years old. Well, it’s Serie A, I have to say Serie A The current temptation is still quite strong. Mendes is determined to help Ronaldo take a gamble. If Trapani can’t do it in the future, then there is no other way. He has to take Ronaldo to another career. It is clearly written in the contract, but the liquidated damages are a bit high. After the situation of not being able to play in Serie A happens, other teams who want to take Ronaldo have to pay a liquidated damages of 2000 million US dollars, otherwise nothing will be discussed.
At this time, Mendes is obviously not that strong. In order to get money, he took Ronaldo to sign such a clause, but it is always better than nothing, right?
"I have to say, Mr. Colani, you really have a good eye! Cristiano will become a good player in the future, I believe this is a good deal for you!" Mendes complimented.
"I think so too!" Hugo laughed secretly, you kid don't even know how much your brother took advantage of!
"This time I came to Lisbon not only to see the recent situation of Cristiano, but also to talk to you about something very important. Given our good start of cooperation, I hope we can continue to be friends! My ball The team is currently ranked first in the group in the Serie D. It is not a problem to be promoted this season. We will need a lot of good players to advance to higher levels in the future! We are also actively expanding our youth training business. If we have you I think my team will be of great benefit! I don’t know what you mean?! Mr. Mendes?!” Hugo began to talk about his purpose.
Mendez? !Of course Mendes agreed, this kind of thing is an opportunity to make money for him, so he will not refuse it.
"Of course, I am an agent. This is my job. I am very honored to be able to help you! If there is a suitable player, I am very happy to recommend it to you!" Mendes smiled and nodded.
In a few words, the two of them talked about the cooperation. Hugo began to talk about Ronaldo with Mendes. Mendes still pays attention to his players. Although he will run around now, Ronaldo's side He still visits often, and communicates with Ronaldo about everything in the team. He said that Mendes, like Hugo, can be regarded as an amateur player. He is a little more advanced than Hugo, and he can be regarded as a semi-professional player.
There are three giants in the Portuguese League, Benfica, Porto, and Sporting Lisbon. These three teams have very good youth training. Sporting Lisbon’s own youth training camp has produced many world superstars, Figo and Simão They all came from here, so the agreement that Sely proposed to train on loan at that time was a very correct decision no matter from which point of view.
In the evening, Hugo invited Ronaldo and Mendes to have dinner. Of course, the most important thing is to meet Ronaldo. Apart from training, Ronaldo usually has cultural lessons to learn. At this stage, he can’t even say that he is Playing football is the main thing, but most of the time is studying. Ronaldo is free in the evening.
The 14-year-old Ronaldo is far from as handsome as he used to be, but he can also be called a handsome boy. Hugo smiled and called him a handsome boy, and Ronaldo was very happy immediately. Hugo guessed that this kid might be very concerned about his appearance!
Like a big brother, Hugo asked about Ronaldo's football and living conditions. Thinking of this, he temporarily thought about the living conditions of Mendes and Ronaldo's parents. If there is anyone who needs his help, Hugo meant Mendes very much. Understand, Hugo is saying that Hugo is willing to give them a job if they want to.
Remarks: In reality, Mendes did not get to know Ronaldo at this time, but became Ronaldo's agent after 2002. Ronaldo is still a member of Vega's brokerage circle at this time, because of the needs of the plot, So there must be some discrepancies with reality, and there will be more in the future. After all, it is a novel, please don't take it seriously.
