Chapter 32 Mendes Spends a Lot of Money
Li Qing's words did not sound like those of a minor at all. On the contrary, he sounded more like an old fox who had been through hardships and experienced the vicissitudes of life. Mendes, Fatty La and the other three were all people with rich life experience. Naturally, they could hear the hidden meaning of Li Qing's words and immediately looked up to him.
Obviously, Li Qing proved that his future was immeasurable through a small trick.
Even if he could not go further in the professional football path, he would have great achievements in business or politics!
Mendes and the others looked at each other, while Li Qing sat there like nothing happened, waiting for everyone's response.
Fatty La first said: "Li, I have personally come to you once, and today I come to your school again, which is enough to show that I value you. Those sitting here are all acquaintances, so I won't say anything empty. 10% of the work contract income and 15% of the advertising income, how about it?"
The company manager Casey James, who once signed a legendary Liverpool player, sneered: "Mino, you are too insincere, right? Our WMG Group has decided to charge only 8% of the contract commission and 12% of the advertising income. In addition... the group will also make you an S-level customer, and President Casey Wasserman will personally plan your career."
Except for Mendes, who always smiled, the other two of the three who had not yet made an offer were lost in thought.
The offer made by Fatty La is the standard price in the current agent market. As the largest agent in Great Britain, WMG Group has reduced it by a total of 5%, and Casey Wasserman is also planning his career.
This... is very sincere!
However, if Li Qing can reach a certain level, the WMG Group that signs Li Qing will still have considerable income, plus the additional advertising benefits, it can make a lot of money.
High!
It's really high!
But then again, not every self-employed agent or agency can compare to WMG Group. WMG Group is big and powerful, and it can afford to wait...
La Fatty's face turned ugly, and he stared at Casey James: "You are breaking the rules!"
"How can it be considered breaking the rules if it is a commission within the scope allowed by the rules?"
Casey James said calmly: "I am not as greedy as some people. They want to share tens of millions of euros for a random transfer. They are simply modern vampires, smearing the overall image of the professional football agency industry! You say... who is breaking the rules?"
Although he did not name anyone, everyone could hear that he was talking about Raiola.
Raiola is the second most reputable agent in the world of football today, and no one dares to rank first.
Raiola and Casey James' WMG Group already had business disputes, so Mendes naturally would not pay attention to their quarrels. He looked at Li Qing with a hint of obvious appreciation.
As the world's top football agent, he also has his own family business. Gestifute may not have as many players as WMG Group, but most of the players he manages are well-known stars in the world football, and they follow the boutique route.
In addition, he is not as arrogant as WMG Group, and seems very approachable. He is not complacent at all because he is the top agent in the world football circle.
At this moment, he has a hunch that Li Qing's future achievements may be higher than his top star Cristiano Ronaldo!
Thinking of this possibility, he was shocked by himself. Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the absolute prides in the world football now!
Will Li Qing's achievements be higher than Cristiano Ronaldo?
Impossible?
Mendes looked at Li Qing again with a different look. The faint smile on his slightly immature face showed his confidence and maturity. He had seen countless people, and the view just now rarely appeared. Could it be... that the boy in front of him could really surpass Cristiano Ronaldo?
If so, what if the commission is lower?
Just when everyone was hesitating, he stood up, put his hands on the table, and said to Li Qing in English: "Li, join my camp. I don't want anything from the player commission, just 10% of the advertising and business. In addition, I will personally plan your future detailed career with your approval."
"Mendes! Too much!"
La Fatty was still angry. After hearing Mendes' offer, he got angry immediately. His voice was so loud that other guests in the cafe looked obviously unhappy.
"Sir, can you keep your voice down? You will affect other guests..."
Mendes continued as if he didn't hear Raiola's words: "You don't have to worry about anything outside the football field. I promise that when you come of age, you will enjoy the same privileges as Cristiano Ronaldo in Gestifute."
"Hiss~"
Raiola and the other three took a breath and stared at Mendes in surprise.
This... is a complete loss of money!
The commission from players is still meat, even if it is the lowest 5% in the industry. When Li Qing grows up to earn tens of millions of euros a year, it will be a very substantial income.
As long as the 10% commission from advertising and management is taken, it means that Mendes is betting that Li Qing will be as successful as Ronaldo and Messi in the future.
Li Qing looked at Mendes deeply. He originally wanted to join the other team, but now he doesn't want the player commission at all, and only wants 10% of the advertising and management. It's really unexpected.
Of course, he is unlikely to let Mendes intervene too much in the management in the future. At most, he will give up 10% of the advertising commission.
In fact, Mendes can make such a generous offer. In addition to the pressure from Raiola and others, the bigger reason is that he is optimistic about Li Qing's future potential.
Even if he doesn't reach the level of Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar, and Bale in the end, he is confident that he can make it back.
Why?
As a senior football agent, recognized as the first tycoon in the agent industry, he sees farther than most people.
In addition to being a British citizen, Li Qing is also of Chinese descent. This identity has great appeal to the distant East...
Coupled with the tacit understanding of the transfer market, the intermediary commission given by the buyer will definitely not be less.
However, the premise is that Li Qing can play well in the future, otherwise... it can only be regarded as a failed investment.
In the end, Li Qing agreed to offer the best price to Mendes, leaving the other four disappointed.
