But the other person surprised Xiao Yu. He took the initiative to come over and shake hands with Xiao Yu.
"Hello, my name is Pini Zahavi!"
Another old man shook hands with Xiao Yu and introduced himself to Xiao Yu in basically fluent Chinese.
"Hello sir! I am Xiao Yu."
Xiao Yu was flattered and shook hands with Zahavi.
Although he is not as famous as Mendes and La Pang, Zahavi's name is well known to him. It turns out that in the world, he is Pele in the field of football agents. Others have to call him the Grandmaster, and even more so. A key figure in the Jinyuan Football Era, it was he who helped Abramovich buy Chelsea Club. Many transactions in the Chinese Super League were also influenced by him.
Zhang Ning probably didn't expect Zahavi's arrival, so he quickly went up to say hello and shake hands, and even introduced himself as a working coach of the Chinese Football Association.
Zahavi also shook hands with him warmly, smiled and chatted for a few words, and then led a few people into the villa to sit down.
——
"Hello! I am Peter de Visser, nice to meet you, an outstanding young man from China."
De Visser introduced himself to Xiao Yu with the help of the translator beside him, and reached out to shake Xiao Yu's hand again, as if he was afraid that Xiao Yu would suddenly disappear.
"Nice to meet you too, Mr. de Visser!"
Perhaps in order to highlight the importance of doing as the Romans do, De Visser and Zahavi specially left Xiao Yu and the three of them to have lunch together in the villa, and they wanted to talk to Xiao Yu alone for a while before the meal.
As for Xiao Yu being able to sign a contract with a European team, my mother thought it must be the two foreign old men, so she had no objection.
As for Zhang Ning, he was even more happy before it was too late and would not stop him.
——
Xiao Yu followed De Visser and Zahavi to another room, and also came in with De Visser's beautiful translator.
"Boy, which team is your favorite?"
De Visser said (I won’t go into details about his translation).
"real Madrid."
Xiao Yu replied decisively.
"Oh! That was truly one of the greatest teams ever."
De Visser took out a thick book and flipped through it, then asked: "When did you start to like it?"
"It should be after the World Cup in Korea and Japan. Before, I could only read football magazines. You should know about that year."
"Oh, yes, that year, the Chinese national football team qualified for the World Cup for the first time."
De Visser nodded and continued to flip through the thick book in his hand.
"Yes, after that year, there were more domestic broadcasts."
Xiao Yu said it truthfully. It is true that after the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, the domestic football media exploded. They all thought it was the starting point of the peak of the national football team. In the original world, who knew that it had become an insurmountable peak? It is really amazing. So sad.
"What about the stars? Name one or two."
Zahavi suddenly interjected and asked.
"Beckham, Ronaldo, um...and Kaká."
"David and Ricardo are indeed superstars, so is Ronaldo referring to Chris?"
Zahavi continued to ask. De Visser seemed to have turned to the page he was looking for at this time, and also looked at Xiao Yu. The most popular people in football today are Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaká and Messi.
"No, it's the one called the alien."
Xiao Yu shook his head quickly.
"Oh, he is a legend. Haha, and his European football career also started in the Netherlands."
De Visser touched his nose and smiled.
"Yeah, it's just Eindhoven, haha."
Zahavi also laughed.
"It seems that you really like Real Madrid. These three are all Real Madrid stars. Xiao, how much do you know about Ajax?"
De Visser put the booklet away, pushed up his glasses, and asked Xiao Yu seriously.
"Ajax is the biggest club in the Eredivisie."
"Well, what else?"
"Ajax is a factory of European superstars. Cruyff, Van Basten, Rijkaard, Frank de Boer, Bergkamp, Kluivert, Van der Vaart, Ibrahimovic strange……"
Xiao Yu talked about the Ajax superstars in his memory like a treasure trove.
"Hehehe, that's very good. Are you interested?"
De Visser asked with a smile.
"Interested? Of course! I'm very interested in joining Ajax."
Xiao Yu patted his chest and was about to stand up. Although he knew in his heart that Ajax's affairs were arranged by the system and there shouldn't be any big problems, he still didn't want to make any mistakes.
"No, I'm not talking about joining Ajax, but becoming a football superstar like them!"
De Visser shook his head.
"have!"
Xiao Yu replied without thinking.
"Okay! I made the right mistake this time!"
Zahavi stood up, extended his right hand to Xiao Yu, and continued: "Let me introduce again, agent - Pini Zahavi."
"Yes, Mr. Zahavi!"
Xiao Yu stood up in a swish, and quickly took Zahavi's outstretched hand with both hands.
"Would you be interested in having me be your agent?"
Zahavi did not appear here for no reason. Although Xiao Yu had never thought about whether he should sign an agent, but when he met a top agent in European football like Zahavi, for him who had just entered Europe, Still very useful.
"Well, I'm honored that sir is willing to cooperate with me!"
Xiao Yu didn't show any pretense and agreed directly.
"Our future superstar, pleasure to work with."
Zahavi smiled and shook hands with Xiao Yu again.
A few people chatted about other things. De Visser was Xiao Yu's matchmaker this time. He did not bring a specific contract with Ajax and agreed to discuss it with the team manager in detail after arriving in Amsterdam.
Zahavi was well prepared and wanted to directly sign a seven-year professional agent contract with Xiao Yu. After Xiao Yu's bargaining, Xiao Yu finally signed a three-year contract with Zahavi, starting in July. One day begins.
Originally, Xiao Yu wanted to sign for only one year, but Zahavi was really enthusiastic enough. After Zahavi said it, he gave Xiao Yu the lowest agent salary ratio in football, 2.35%, and the lowest 10% for the commercial part, and took the initiative to do it. Promoting Xiao Yu's unwanted transfer, he would only operate it when Xiao Yu needed a transfer.
Xiao Yu also admired Zahavi's courage and dared to give such a contract to a newcomer under 17 years old, but after thinking about it, it seemed that even if he was not kicked out, there would be no loss to him, so he was relieved.
So he directly signed a three-year contract with Zahavi. Xiao Yu also requested that if there is any commercial cooperation in the future, he must have his consent. But he still remembered the movie "One Goal to Become Famous" that he had watched in the original world. ”, San Diego went to film that disgusting Japanese tofu commercial.
After having lunch at Mr. De Visser and Mr. Zahavi's place, Xiao Yu, his mother, and Zhang Ning left the villa.
However, Zhang Ning did not directly send Xiao Yu and his son back to the hotel. Instead, he took them back to the Football Association first. Next year's Asian Games will also select national Olympic team members. Zhang Ning wants to compete for the position to be a national team member this time. The coach of the Olympic team, after all, everyone wants to make progress.
Zhang Ning is thinking the same thing. If Xiao Yu plays in the Netherlands, he can help him stand up for his team, and his chances of winning the competition will be greater.
Xiao Yu actually didn't like the national team, but he was still willing to pay for a favor, so he went through the motions with the Football Association with Zhang Ning.
De Visser's assistant went to the hotel the next day to find Xiao Yu. They had already booked a flight ticket for Xiao Yu to fly to Amsterdam in two weeks. These two weeks were left for Xiao Yu to go home and deal with his own affairs.
De Visser and Zahavi have already flown back to Europe and will meet Xiao Yu in Amsterdam in two weeks. Zahavi even promised Xiao Yu that he would negotiate the most favorable contract for Xiao Yu. .
Zhang Ning was also very enthusiastic, which surprised Xiao Yu. He not only helped mother and son arrange air tickets back to Xinzheng, but also bought a lot of specialties from the capital for mother and son to take back. The mother had to keep thanking Zhang Ning.
This is the first time that Xiao Yu's mother has flown on a plane since he came to this world. Xiao Yu also feels very complicated. In the original world, although he traveled to many places by plane, he never fulfilled his promise to take his mother on a plane.
This time, Xiao Yu carefully explained to his mother the precautions for flying.
I watched my mother along the way, watching her nervously standing upright and holding on to the armrest when taking off, watching her nervously looking for her seatbelt when encountering turbulence, and watching her feet not even touching the ground when the plane landed. .
"Mom! I miss you so much!"
After the plane landed, Xiao Yu suddenly looked at his mother and said something softly for some reason, but his own tears flowed down unsatisfactorily.
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong? Don't be afraid! Mom is here!"
After the plane landed, the cabin was very noisy. My mother didn't hear clearly what Xiao Yu said, but she saw the tears Xiao Yu shed.
For a moment, he didn't even care that the plane had not stopped yet, so he unbuckled his seat belt, hugged Xiao Yu, and patted Xiao Yu's back gently.
Xiao Yu felt bitter and warm in her heart, yes, mom was right, mom is here!
…
Xiao Yu and her son returned and reversed the car back to their hometown of Makino. It was still the same bungalow in their memory, and the lush woods in front of it.
I remember that in the original world, in order to cope with the demolition, my mother borrowed money to build the bungalow full from front to back. The village also leveled the woods and built a full house.
But now it seems that it is still so good. There are trees, a yard, a few grapevines planted by Xiao Yu himself, and various rose flowers planted by his mother, which are blooming there. It seemed to welcome him back.
Mom was a warm-hearted and kind-hearted woman. She reminded Xiao Yu not to forget to meet a few of his good friends. After going abroad, there was no telling when they would meet again. Xiao Yu nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yu first contacted the principal and told him about his trip to the island city of Fenghai, and then briefly talked about his plans to go to the Netherlands.
The principal praised Xiao Yu for being promising, and said that Uncle Tai had already told him everything about the island city. He didn't expect it to be so corrupt, so it would be a good thing not to go.
