Since rejecting Xu Hongtao, Chu Zhongtian has always had an unsolved question in his heart - to find a Chinese agent to take care of all matters in China except for transfers.

But there has never been a good candidate because his own circle of life is too narrow and he can often appear around him. The only Chinese people he knows are Xu Xiaodi, Wang Hao and Lin Beiyao. These three are not agents.

Apart from that, he doesn't know any Chinese. His father wants to enjoy a happy life and doesn't want to do such tiring jobs, so his mother must be inappropriate.

During that period, the competition was busy and they were all important competitions, so Chu Zhongtian temporarily put this matter on hold.

Now with the end of the most important game of the entire season, this matter is becoming more and more urgent.

Look at those Chinese companies that come to Xu Xiaodi to find him... It is a fool to keep such a large amount of money, but how to make money? Do these companies have to meet them one by one and negotiate each clause by themselves? Then don't play football yourself... After James Merry learned about this, he said to Chu Zhongtian: "Why don't I go there? Just find an interpreter."

Although this is a solution, it is just a temporary solution. Moreover, the league is about to end, and Merry has a lot of things to be busy with. Now he is not only acting for Chu Zhongtian and Ribery, but also acting for a few young players in England. He does not have so much spare time to fly to China, which is thousands of miles away.

So it is best to find a Chinese agent.

Entering May, there are two rounds left in the league. For Chu Zhongtian, these two rounds of league are no longer important, and no matter what he plays, it will not affect the team's performance. The team is currently ranked tenth, with no worries about relegation and no hope of winning the championship. After winning the cup championship, it means that the qualification for the League Cup next season will be obtained. At present, he can focus all his energy on dealing with off-court matters.

On May 5, Xu Xiaodi called him again: "Oh my god, someone is looking for you again... I said it's not a big deal. I'm just a reporter, but they always call me to find me, making me look like your agent. I think this is not good. If I don't feel at ease, you won't feel at ease. You'd better find a Chinese agent quickly..."

Why do those domestic companies call Xu Xiaodi? Because as the reporter with the best relationship with Chu Zhongtian, Xu Xiaodi is well known. Everyone thinks that finding Xu Xiaodi is equivalent to finding Chu Zhongtian. In fact, this is entirely what Xu Xiaodi asked himself - he always reveals his close relationship with Chu Zhongtian in the report, for example, his parents went to Metz to celebrate the Spring Festival with him, and this matter was only left to him; every time Chu Zhongtian invited him for every invitation from other reporters... After this, can you not know his special relationship with Chu Zhongtian?

When Chu Zhongtian heard what Xu Xiaodi said, "It made me look like your agent." Suddenly, his mind flashed.

"Why can't you be my agent, Brother Xu?"

"Ah?" Xu Xiaodi did not react to Chu Zhongtian's rebellious question.

"I think about it all over the place. A person who knows me very well and can make me feel at ease is my agent. I think you are the only one, Brother Xu."

"But I'm a reporter..."

"Anyway, I think you are quite suitable. You can think about it yourself, Brother Xu. I am serious. I didn't joke this time. I really think it's good for you to be my Chinese agent."

After finishing the call with Chu Zhongtian, Xu Xiaodi was still thinking about what Chu Zhongtian said to him.

Be his agent?

He had never thought about this question before. If he was suddenly mentioned, he would inevitably have some resistance - my reporter did a good job, why did he change his career?

But now I calmed down and thought about it carefully, my previous thoughts were unreasonable.

The advantage of the profession of journalists is that he personally prefers it. Just like when he was young, he claims to be the "King of Uncrowned" and is determined to devote his entire life to news reports.

But reality is always so cruel.

When he truly entered this industry, he realized that there was always a gap between ideals and reality, and generally speaking, the gap was not small.

At first he reported on domestic sports, but later changed his career to report on foreign football. Now he has climbed the big tree of Chu Zhongtian, which is also well-known in the circle. Logically speaking, as long as he keeps going like this.

But in this circle, he can always get in touch with inside information, which makes him, a soccer reporter who likes football, feels cold.

As a Chinese, he naturally hopes that his country's football will be good. However, the facts he saw made him not believe that his country's football can improve no matter what. He personally contacted and heard many inside stories from his friends, some of which have not been confirmed. At first, Xu Xiaodi did not believe it, but later as he stayed in this industry for a longer time, he found that the things he said before that he did not believe in anything had gradually become reality, so he believed them all.

Anyway, all Chinese football industry have been shot and killed. It is guaranteed that there will be fish that miss the net.

There is no such thing as "I would rather kill by mistake than let go".

What I loved at the beginning became unrecognizable, which really affected my work mood... Now Xu Xiaodi can only feel the joy, excitement and other positive emotions when reporting on football from Chu Zhongtian. So he hopes that Chu Zhongtian will not go back and will play football outside.

He felt that he would just follow Chu Zhongtian in the future. He would run over to follow up reports in which league Chu Zhongtian went to play football. Don’t understand language? It doesn’t matter, grit your teeth and learn. Chairman Mao said it well, “There is nothing difficult in the world, I’m afraid of those who are interested.” He is the “solid person”.

At that time, he had no idea that there was another way to follow Chu Zhongtian until he was pointed out by Chu Zhongtian - to be his agent.

It’s just that I am a reporter, not a lawyer, and I have only a little understanding of those legal provisions. How can I become an agent?

At the same time, he admitted that the proposal to be Chu Zhongtian's agent is very attractive - first of all, he can be close to Chu Zhongtian, and secondly, in terms of income, the income of being a broker must be higher than that of a reporter. Especially Chu Zhongtian is so popular in China, even if he just negotiates a few contracts and draws 5% by himself, it will be a very considerable income.

So, should you accept this invitation?

Xu Xiaodi sat in front of the computer for a while, and this problem bothered him.

He thought it would be better to listen to professional opinions, so he decided to call a friend of his domestic broker circle.

This agent is quite famous in China. He met him two years ago. The reason why he did not recommend this agent friend when Chu Zhongtian needed an economic person was because Xu Xiaodi knew very well what kind of person this agent with some means was. He was famous and had means, but his character was not as good as that. He was not at ease to introduce such an agent to Chu Zhongtian. So when Chu Zhongtian asked him if he had any suitable agent to recommend, Xu Xiaodi lied that he didn't know any excellent agent.

On the phone, he asked the agent friend more confidently about how to be an agent. The friend was surprised that Xu Xiaodi was interested in these things. Xu Xiaodi said that he planned to make a special report on the current status of Chinese agents, so the agent caught Xu Xiaodi and complained.

For example, the broker's industry is not formal at all. The state collects a deposit, but does not protect the interests of the regular broker at all. Moreover, the regular broker still has trouble saying that he has no place to complain. "You know that Xu Hongtao, do you know? You're a big liar! But he has a good relationship with others, and he is very popular and has a good life. We are in a miserable state. Without connections, it's impossible to make a move in this industry!"

There is also the act of randomly reaching out for money. It introduces a player from South America or Eastern Europe to a domestic club. The scene is so spectacular, and you can reach out with your hands layer by layer... "It's not the head coach, but the ordinary coach below starts to reach out. Don't give money? Don't want you to get a chance to play in the trial training. If you give money, you will have less time. If you give money, you will have more time. If you pass the coaching level, you will be an assistant coach. If you don't give money, don't think that he will say justice to your players in front of the head coach. If you give money, you will say good things. After the assistant coach only has the head coach, and the head coach is the club manager. These people directly control the power to introduce your players. If you don't give money, even if you bring Ronaldo, you don't want the player you bring! At this point, you have so much money in front of you. You say that you are only one step away from victory. Do you give this money or not? Of course you have to give it!"

While complaining, this agent friend also told Xu Xiaodi a lot of "unspoken rules" in the domestic agent circle. Xu Xiaodi's vision was wide open and he knew a little. If he wanted to be a good agent in China, he would do what he had to do... It was really bad. Not only those who played football, but no good thing was related to football... Of course, he would continue to feel so emotional in his heart. He was more and more fortunate that Chu Zhongtian was fired for unwilling to cooperate with counterfeit football, otherwise he would never have achieved such a high achievement now. It was a blessing to have a miserable loss... After listening to the other party complaining about his hardship on the phone for more than an hour, Xu Xiaodi hung up the phone. Although he was not as miserable as an agent like Xu Hongtao, he could be regarded as a kind of pride.

After my indirect inquiries, I can figure out what it takes to be an agent in China - as long as you are versatile and good at doing things. What professional qualities, professional ethics... are not needed.

※※※Just as Xu Xiaodi was considering whether to really accept Chu Zhongtian’s invitation and become his agent, Chu Zhongtian was also having a headache with those companies on paper that were planning to talk about endorsements and cooperation with him.

There are many companies that come to him, including all walks of life, famous and counterfeit people. If there are too many, you will always be dazzling and don’t know what to choose.

He felt that he should discuss it with someone, and he could not think of any results by thinking about it alone.

I have made up my mind not to bother Mr. Merry, so I naturally have to ask him about this matter.

So who should I ask?

He suddenly thought that he had another person to ask about.

So he looked at the time and called Emily directly.

After listening to what Chu Zhongtian said, Emily said to Chu Zhongtian: "I don't know the Chinese companies you mentioned. But having an experience may help you - don't take orders from all companies, and don't just choose whoever gives more money. You should choose the one that suits your personal image and choose those with credibility and positive image."

Then Chu Zhongtian told Emily that there were so many Chinese companies looking for her, most of the reason for her. Emily was a little surprised, so Chu Zhongtian broadcasted the grand occasions of the country to Emily.

After listening, Emily smiled happily on the other end of the phone.

"So we both made a profit? Are there any reporters coming to harass you, Chu?"

"Yes, but they can't escape me."

When Emily heard Chu Zhongtian's answer, she laughed again. She thought about the scene where her lover was running wildly in front of her, and the reporters were out of breath and could not catch up no matter how hard she chased her, and she felt it was very funny.

The two of them said love words for a while and then hung up the phone. Chu Zhongtian was about to rest, and Emily was about to work.

※※※Xu Xiaodi has been struggling with whether to become an agent for Chu Zhongtian.

When he was interviewing outside the Holy Mountain Forian Training Base the next day, he looked at his compatriots and found that there were more new faces. After counting carefully, he found that there were more people than before.

Looking at this, as Chu Zhongtian becomes more and more famous in China, there are more Chinese journalists coming here to interview him... He even saw CCTV's station logo in the crowd... As soon as the training ended, Chu Zhongtian was surrounded by a large group of black Chinese journalists. It was impossible for those French journalists to interview Chu Zhongtian.

Chinese in various accents rang outside the Holy Mountain Furyan Training Base. If you only look at this side, you can't think it's France, or maybe you think it's Haitang in Kunming, Yunnan.

Xu Xiaodi didn't get in. He was stunned for a moment and was squeezed outside. Seeing such a "grand occasion", he simply stopped going up.

More and more people come here, which means that competition is becoming more and more fierce. Chu Zhongtian has only one, but there are so many reporters. Most of the reports sent back to China are the same, and some even take risks to make up news.

He stood outside the crowd and an idea came to his mind: Maybe it’s time to change his career?

On that day, Xu Xiaodi stood outside the crowd and did not come forward to interview Chu Zhongtian. Then he turned around and went back. He thought about it all night at home, and then he called his wife who was far away in China. After all, this was a major issue related to family income. After all, he should say hello to his wife and ask for her opinion.

His wife did not agree or disagree, but just let him do it.

Just like that the next day, when Xu Xiaodi met Chu Zhongtian outside the Fulian Training Base in the Holy Mountain, he had empty hands. Usually, he was holding an interview machine in one hand and a notebook and pen in the other.

When he saw Chu Zhongtian, he smiled at him: "I thought about it all day and decided. If you don't dislike me for not having any experience in this area, I'm willing to be your agent."

Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "Mr. James Merry had no experience before he became my agent. I am not afraid of not having experience. If you don't have experience, you can accumulate experience."

"Then I'll be relieved, don't worry about my learning attitude."

"Where is the newspaper office?" Chu Zhongtian asked.

"I will go back tomorrow to resign..."

"Will they release people?"

"It shouldn't be unwilling to let go. Anyway, I came from their opponent's 'transfer' and I have never been very popular. But if I hadn't had this ace, they wouldn't have wanted me at all, haha!" Xu Xiaodi looked at this very well. Anyway, he didn't like that place, so he quits if he resigned, and there was nothing to be left to nostalgic about.

"Then you go, my news..."

Xu Xiaodi pointed to his Chinese colleagues and said to Chu Zhongtian: "Look at this scale, do you think they will have fewer reporters to interview you? I did have an advantage at first, but now... it has disappeared." He spread his hands.

"Well..." Chu Zhongtian said, "That's fine. You come to my house tonight and we will sign a contract. Anyway, you have to go back to China to resign, so just help me deal with those things in China."

Xu Xiaodi thought it would be fine to do this, so he nodded and agreed.

"But I don't know which ones you plan to choose..." he asked again.

"I don't know if you help me with the staff then. Are you not an agent? You have to take care of this matter. You choose and tell me that I will make the decision." This is also the way Chu Zhongtian and James Merry cooperate. He did not hand over all the decisions to Merry, but retained the power to make the final decision. This can prevent the agent from completely circumventing the players themselves after they grow bigger and putting the interests of the players to the end.

Xu Xiaodi didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this. The only problem was that he was afraid that poor communication would delay things.

After he told Chu Zhongtian about his concern, Chu Zhongtian felt that this was not a problem: "You can find me on mobile phones and the Internet, so what are you afraid of? If it is really an urgent situation and you need to make a decision at that time, then you can measure it yourself and then make a decision. Anyway, I believe in your character."

He also told Mr. Meili this way at the beginning. The facts proved that Mr. Meili did not let him see it. Chu Zhongtian felt that his vision of people was quite accurate, and those who could be with him for a long time were not bad people.

※※※That night, Xu Xiaodi signed a contract at Chu Zhongtian's home. After signing the contract, he and Chu Zhongtian studied the development of commercial value in China overnight. It was not just about finding a few companies to endorse, but many of them included. Xu Xiaodi suggested that Chu Zhongtian hire another professional lawyer to deal with some infringement disputes. With Chu Zhongtian becoming famous in China, there will definitely be an abuse of his image and name to conduct commercial activities.

Chu Zhongtian thought for a while: "Now two agents, and I will hire another lawyer, and I will pay three people?"

Xu Xiaodi laughed: "The more people you hire, the more you earn... Are you still afraid of having more wages? Think about Yao Ming, he raised a "Yao Team" alone. Your current achievements in competition may be slightly worse than Yao Ming, but you have a huge advantage that he does not have - your relationship with Emily Stan. If you have a celebrity wife, your popularity in the entertainment industry will also rise sharply in the future. At that time, you will not only be welcomed by fans, but also be supported by those movie fans... What a huge group this is?"

When Chu Zhongtian thought about it, Xu Xiaodi said it was not bad, so he nodded and agreed.

Xu Xiaodi also told him that if the work in China goes well, he might continue to expand the team of agents in the future. "Basketball has Yao Ming and Yao team, and our football also has Chu Zhongtian and Chu team!" Xu Xiaodi, who changed his identities, suddenly found his goals and fun in this matter.

As a soccer reporter who follows the rules, he would never enjoy such fun - he personally opened up a completely different blue sky. After a few years, he successfully increased Chu Zhongtian's personal assets by dozens of times, and he himself became a successful broker. Such a future is really full of fighting spirit... The next day, Xu Xiaodi, who was full of fighting spirit, flew back to China to go through the resignation procedures and put the blueprint in his heart into implementation.

Chu Zhongtian called Meili and told him that he had another partner. Now Chu Zhongtian has two agents.

Is it really possible that the "Chu Team" that Xu Xiaodi mentioned is achieved?
Chapter completed!
