Chapter 996 Mendes (Part 2)
PS1: I continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books don’t require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~
PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.
"What?!" Hearing Zhuang Mingge's words, Mendes was so shocked that he almost sprayed all the sip of coffee he had just drunk on Zhuang Mingge's face opposite him, "Chairman Corleon, are you kidding me? A small character like me, currently has no 1,000 or 800 in European football. How can he be qualified to own 5% of GM's shares, let alone the position of general manager and CEO. You look down on me too much."
Mendes doesn't think that Zhuang Mingge has offered such a high price because he likes the player resources he owns. Although Mendes' business has been booming in the past four years since he started working as an agent, so far, Gestift's business scope is limited to the Iberian Peninsula, a 3-point land in the Iberian Peninsula, and the biggest star it has is Andrade, who has just been operated by him through his relationships.
It is precisely because of this that Mendes is extremely confused by Zhuang Mingge's invitation. After all, according to common sense, companies like this who are in the leading position in a certain industry generally hire big-name managers with rich experience or successful experience when choosing a general manager or CEO, rather than unknown little rookies like him.
Mendes' evaluation of himself is not self-deprecating. Although the achievements made by the Portuguese so far can make many of his peers who started from scratch, compared to GM, which has created a turnover of nearly 200 million US dollars this summer through the transfer of players such as Crespo, Buffon, and Toldo, the Portuguese has obviously not yet seen the opponent's eyes.
The company doesn't like it, do you have much fame and convincing experience? So what does the other party like to think that he is capable of being a position like GM's general manager and CEO, and can be said to be more than ten thousand people?
However, although he had doubts about Zhuang Mingge's invitation, Mendes was not a timid person. He was adventurous and did not immediately reject Zhuang Mingge's seemingly amazing request. Instead, he analyzed the pros and cons in his heart, and made a gesture and asked Zhuang Mingge to continue speaking-he planned to listen to the other party's next words before deciding on the next action plan.
Seeing Mendes' gesture, Zhuang Mingge understood that the other party was not confused by the bombshell he threw, and still maintained enough calm and cautious. People like Mendes would never obediently surrender to their own command just by just some empty words. They must let the other party feel their sincerity and the benefits they can get from it, so that they can have the opportunity to make the other party nod and agree.
There are mainly the following reasons why Zhuang Mingge chose Mendes, the future agent, as the new helm of GM.
First of all, Mendes has a very good business level and is rational enough to not make a joke like Vega, because he agreed to the bet between Figo and Florentino and owed huge debts, and was forced to transfer Figo to Real Madrid. Therefore, the probability of its negative impact on GM's reputation is naturally extremely low.
Secondly, compared with his peers such as Raiola, Mendes has a much better reputation in European football, which shows that the Portuguese has more flexible skills and interpersonal skills than others in dealing with clubs. Haven't you seen that when Mourinho left Chelsea with 27 million euros in compensation in 2007, Mendes and Abram could still maintain a very good cooperative relationship, which laid the foundation for the agent giant to bring Scolari, Deco and other members to Chelsea.
The most important thing is that Mendes pays more attention to the long-term development of its players and will not make short-sighted moves for the immediate interests. Deco and Ronaldo are the best examples. Therefore, Zhuang Mingge decided to hire Mendes, who is still not famous, as the general manager and CEO of GM. If it were Raiola, the owner who was jealous of money, Zhuang Mingge was really afraid that he would have torn up all the high-quality resources under the company under the financial offensive of others...
In the end, facing a series of generous conditions offered by Zhuang Mingge, Mendes agreed to the other party's invitation and agreed to sell his Gestifut company to GM for US$30 million. Zhuang Mingge only needs to pay stocks of equal value to complete the transaction.
At the same time, regarding the appointment as general manager and CEO of GM, Mendes made an unexpected request to Zhuang Mingge: "Give me a one-year trial contract first. If my performance during this period is enough to convince the public, it will not be too late to renew a formal contract with me."
Zhuang Mingge naturally agreed to Mendes' additional conditions. After all, Mendes was also considering the interests of the company, minimizing the possibility of losses due to poor management. He had no reason to refute the other party.
Some people may think that Mendes' move is suspected of being at a price, and its purpose is not simple, but if you think about it carefully, who in this world really treats money as dirt?
"Jorge (Mendes), happy cooperation." After dealing with Mendes, the future agent, Zhuang Mingge was in a good mood. With this general under his command, he would worry less about a lot of things in the future. "With your joining, I believe that the future of GM will become better!"
"Hehe, you're so over-the-top, Lord Corleon... Oh, no, I should call you boss now." Halfway through speaking, Mendes realized that he was saying something wrong and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Haha, Jorge, since you have asked me to call your name directly, then you can just call my name in private." Zhuang Mingge smiled and patted Mendes on the shoulder, revealing his appreciation for the other party, "Otherwise, I would be angry~"
"Okay, Antonio." Mendes immediately changed his name, smiled and clinked Zhuang Mingge, and said, "It won't take long to let you see that bringing me to GM is definitely your wisest investment!"
