On the second day after returning to Southampton, before Wang Xiaodong woke up, he heard someone banging on his door.
"Who is it? Disturbing my dreams so early in the morning!"
Wang Xiaodong got up and didn't open the door immediately. Instead, he turned off the computer on the table first.
There is a secret of its own there.
"Dong, you are so lucky!"
As soon as the door opened, a round-nosed man broke in first.
Raiola was tired and had sunken circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not slept well last night.
But judging from his excited state of mind, he must have drank a lot of coffee.
"Dong, let me tell you, I helped you get a big order..."
Raiola had no intention of avoiding suspicion. After changing his shoes, he passed Wang Xiaodong, walked into the living room, took a glass of water by himself, and took a sip.
"Sniff, sniff~~~"
Raiola's round nose twitched, and the joy on his face suddenly turned into confusion: "Dong, is there anyone else in your family?"
"No, as everyone knows, I am still single." Wang Xiaodong opened the door of his bedroom, and the bed inside was empty.
The Italian focused his eyes on the waste paper around the trash can, showing an expression of sudden realization.
"Dong, it's time for you to find a girlfriend. It's not good for your health to always solve things by yourself."
"Like Rooney? Then I would rather be single for the rest of my life!"
As we all know, although Lu Xiaopang loves his childhood sweetheart very much, this does not prevent him from going to a nightclub to find a fat aunt.
In order to vent his anger, Lu Xiaopang took "no one to refuse" to the extreme.
"Okay, stop observing my descendants, there are still many of them!" Wang Xiaodong closed the door and sat down carelessly, "Tell me, come to me early in the morning, what good can you do?"
"Dong, I have helped you sign the biggest contract so far!"
"How many?" can make the vampire Raiola so excited. It seems that the opponent must have counted a lot of numbers.
"Thirty million!" Round Nose proudly gestured with three fingers, "Pounds!"
"How many???"
Wang Xiaodong was also stunned by this number.
He thought it would be a lot, but not this much.
"Thirty million pounds! Five years!" Raiola opened the fingers of his other hand, "An average of six million pounds a year!"
"Oh my God, which company has so many victims?"
You must know that Wang Xiaodong is just a British Championship player. Even ordinary Premier League players cannot get such treatment.
"Bimawen!" Raiola said excitedly, "And this is just a sponsorship. If you can enter the best team in the league, cup, etc., or be among the top three in the scorer list, assist list, or other elite There will also be additional bonuses for awards nominated by the FA.”
"Bima Wen is so generous?" Wang Xiaodong also whistled excitedly, "I have scored so many goals in the League Cup, isn't this extra bonus guaranteed?"
"That's right!" Raiola snapped his fingers, "If you can help Southampton win the League Cup, there will be more surprises!"
"What's the specific situation?"
Hearing that it was such a big project, Wang Xiaodong couldn't help but ask for details.
After Raiola's statement, Wang Xiaodong also understood what Bi Mawen was up to.
Although Raiola and Butima Wen drafted a contract, the other party made a request, that is, they must win the League Cup or at least reach the final.
According to the current situation, it is safe for Southampton to reach the League Cup final.
As for whether to win or not, it will not affect the signing of the contract between the two companies, but it will directly affect Wang Xiaodong's personal income.
To put it simply, Bi Mawen will take advantage of the popularity brought by the League Cup final to announce his cooperation with Wang Xiaodong in a high-profile manner.
In this way, it can not only inspire Southampton to win the championship, but also enhance Wang Xiaodong's reputation. It can also use the huge attention to promote Bi Mawen again.
It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.
So in this case, if Wang Xiaodong really wins the championship, the cash reward from the other party will definitely be huge.
After understanding the general situation, Wang Xiaodong completely delegated power and handed over all matters to Raiola.
After some discussion, Wang Xiaodong suddenly patted his leg and remembered something else.
"Mino, how about I introduce you to a player? I guarantee you will make a lot of money if you sign him. His ability is no worse than Walcott's."
"Oh? Is there such a good thing?"
It is common for players to introduce agents to each other, but Raiola did not expect that Wang Xiaodong would be a "big business" at the level of Walcott when he opened his mouth.
"Of course, his name is Gareth Bale, and he was my classmate in junior high school. He is very fast and has very good skills. And according to Keegan's evaluation, his future achievements will not be worse than Walcott's."
"How could it be my turn for such a good player? Didn't Southampton sign him?" Raiola wondered.
"Then I don't know. Who knows what's going on between them. Maybe after Walcott left, Southampton didn't trust young players anymore."
"Put P! Absolutely impossible!" Raiola shook his head, "You don't know how much Southampton likes young talented players now. They are eager to sign all these types of players!"
"How could that be..." Wang Xiaodong was a little confused for a moment. Logically speaking, he had been recommending Bell to Keegan for a while, but there was no news yet.
"Dong, you don't understand this." Raiola took a sip, "It's true that Southampton made a lot of money from Walcott, but with the strength that Walcott later showed, Southampton actually sold at a loss."
"So if we encounter a talented player like this again, the club will definitely try their best to trick him into signing a 'selling contract'."
"And not just them, but you too. Those guys from Southampton are really annoying me these days. They ask me to modify your contract every now and then."
"I'm afraid you will be like Walcott and not get a good price."
With Raiola's explanation, Wang Xiaodong finally understood why Bell had not signed.
Even with his "monkey" brain, he can see that the contract is inappropriate, and Southampton's conditions must be excessive.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaodong didn't think much, patted the armrest of the sofa and stood up.
"Mino, if that's the case, then I'll take you to see him as soon as possible! You can help him get his contract settled earlier and he can compete earlier. Let me tell you, the team's offensive ability is too poor now, and they especially need a stronger player. Forward. I can kick the ball inside the goal frame, but it depends on how the opponent's goalkeeper performs. Maybe I kick one and he saves the other."
"Haha, Dong, don't belittle yourself, you have already performed well enough." Raiola patted Wang Xiaodong on the back, "You can play well, but I will naturally help you handle the off-field matters. "
...
Wang Xiaodong was impatient, so he tidied up casually, then hurried downstairs with Raiola and drove to Bell's apartment.
At this time, Gareth Bale was not as powerful as the "Monkey King" of later generations. At this moment, he was sitting in his small apartment of more than ten square meters, counting on his toes what he would have to do if he signed a contract with Southampton. How many years has the other party worked hard for?
"Bang bang bang, bang bang bang!"
"Great Sage, open the door. Don't mention Mo is sleeping. I'll bring you a profiteer...Oh no, I'll bring you an agent. Open the door quickly!"
Raiola wiped his sweat behind Wang Xiaodong. It turns out that this is the virtue I have in your heart. Why don't you say it so straightforwardly?
When the door opened, Bell stood at the door with a dejected look on his face.
"Bell, come, let me introduce you. This is my agent. He..."
Wang Xiaodong stepped forward and hung Bell's neck, turned around and let Raiola in front of him.
Before he finished speaking, Raiola directly held Bale's hand and said proactively: "Mr. Gareth Bale, right? I am Mino Raiola, Dong's agent."
"Dong told me all about your situation. I understand your current situation very well, and I am confident that I can help you get out of your predicament."
"Oh...then, please come in first."
Bell was also confused, but after hearing Raiola say that he would help him solve the problem, he quickly retreated to the room and packed up.
"Why do you suddenly become so cheerful? Didn't you say you still have to observe and observe when you came here?" Wang Xiaodong asked quietly.
Raiola adjusted his collar and raised his chin, "I believe in your vision. After all, he is the player you recommended. I..."
"to be honest!"
"Well, I think your friend has a strange personality. Even if a player like him doesn't play well in the future, I won't lose money by selling tickets as a comedian."
Wang Xiaodong looked contemptuous. He didn't expect that foreigners also liked watching monkeys.
"Sorry, my family is relatively small, please forgive me."
Bell hurriedly held the magazine on the coffee table in his arms, then flicked it away and stuffed a pair of 3D glasses into the gap in the sofa.
"Hey, he's quite advanced! Why are you hiding him?"
Wang Xiaodong stuck out his butt and took out the glasses from the gap.
He put on his glasses in front of the two of them, picked up a magazine that Bell hadn't had time to put away, and read it with gusto.
"Bell, what, you were dumped by Catalina too? Why did you study this stuff?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... I'm telling you, you just don't have good taste."
"For women, it's not just about being big. It also depends on body shape and proportions. The most important thing is looks! Face, do you understand?"
"I wasn't dumped, it's just that Catalina said I needed to exercise, so, I, I..."
Wang Xiaodong scolded Bell until Bell's face turned red. He had spent a lot of effort to get these magazines, but they were criticized as worthless in Wang Xiaodong's mouth.
"Don't mind, Mr. Gareth, don't forget, Dongya is the same age as you, and he can't tell what 'good or bad' is." Raiola noticed Bell's dilemma and immediately spoke to smooth things over.
"Let him see what he is doing. I'm here to help you solve problems at work."
"Now, please tell me about the difficulties you encounter. If possible, I will come forward to help you solve it. Of course, we can also sign a contract before that."
"Yes, Mr. Minnow, it would be my pleasure."
The two talked from morning to afternoon, while Wang Xiaodong browsed all Bell's inventory with critical eyes.
At the end of his speech, Raiola stood up and prepared to leave.
"Yo? Are you done talking? Then I'll leave first."
"Dong, thank you so much." Bell expressed his sincere gratitude.
"Why are you thanking me? Who of us will follow whom? When we become teammates, I will ask you for assists!"
After Wang Xiaodong finished speaking, he patted his butt and followed Raiola, leaving Bell's residence.
"How's it going? My buddy is pretty good, isn't he!" While driving, Wang Xiaodong showed a look of pride on his face, "Let me tell you, you are definitely lucky to be able to sign him. Then you can secretly count the money." Bar!"
Raiola also had a smile on his face. Bale is much easier to "cheat" than Wang Xiaodong.
On the basis of Wang Xiaodong's contract, every percentage paid by Bell is more than 5 points higher than Wang Xiaodong, which gives Raiola a sense of accomplishment.
Raiola also started to joke when he thought about Bell agreeing to his conditions.
"Dong, I remember you said he was very fast, right?"
"That's right."
"Then his physical strength must not be as good as yours!"
"Of course!" Wang Xiaodong said proudly, "With his small physique..."
"Do you want to know how I figured it out?"
"Appreciate further details."
"The toilet paper in his bedroom is much less than yours!"
