The Winner Is King

Chapter 140 Broker

Chang Sheng didn't expect that he could gain such benefits by learning from Lei Feng to save others, and he immediately felt that good people are indeed rewarded.

After the training, he was quickly surrounded by the media. Everyone didn't ask him about the team's training this time, but asked him about saving lives last night.

"What's the point of asking, didn't you all see it yesterday?" Chang Sheng asked back.

"But we didn't hear it, Chang! We want to know what you said to him, so that he finally let go of his plan to commit suicide?"

"It's a long story... Anyway, I just told him that even Getafe succeeded in relegation under impossible circumstances. What hurdles do you have that you can't overcome?" Chang Sheng spread his hands and said.

The reporters all laughed.

They are all local media in Getafe, that's why they are so interested in this matter, and the media in other places don't care about it. There are too many suicides, they can't care about it.

So these reporters can be said to have a good impression of Changsheng. Hearing that Changsheng actually used Getafe's inspirational performance last season to convince a suicidal person, these local Getafe reporters are a little proud, and also There is no doubt about the authenticity of Chang Sheng's words.

In their view, Getafe's performance in the last ten rounds of the league last season was indeed inspirational enough, but they did not expect to be able to revive a person who was determined to die, and they were also very proud.

Although this is the credit of Changsheng, they have a sense of honor for all.

This is the pride of Getafe football!

After Chang Sheng finished dealing with these local reporters who had a good relationship, he returned to his home. But before entering the door of the apartment. As usual, he signed autographs and took photos with the fans waiting outside the apartment. After fully satisfying every fan's request, he was able to step into the apartment lobby.

But as soon as he entered the door of the apartment, he was stopped by Lemon: "Chang! You are back. Someone is looking for you..."

Before he finished speaking, a person came out from behind Lei Meng, carrying a suitcase, smiling at Chang Sheng.

Chang Sheng was taken aback, isn't this the person he rescued from the rooftop yesterday? !

The clothes on his body are still familiar.

"Huh? Why are you here?" Chang Sheng asked in surprise.

"I'm here to sell myself, Chang. I think you need a professional to handle some business contracts for you. In other words, you need a broker. Chang." Kate Gracie smiled and resumed He's polite. It doesn't look like it has anything to do with the down-and-out wretch last night.

"Me? Manager? Ha!" Chang Sheng laughed.

"Haven't you realized the commercial value of you, Chang?" Kate Gracie was neither annoyed nor discouraged. Instead, continue to persuade.

"What commercial value do I have?" Chang Sheng asked back.

"I just chatted with Lemon here for a while, and he told you that you are very popular, probably the most popular person in the entire Getafe region."

Lemon next to him said with a bitter face: "I just praised you to him, Chang. I promise I never revealed any of your secrets..."

"Of course, Lemon doesn't need to disclose it. Because many of your things have been reported in the media, and anyone who cares can always find them." Kate Gracie took out a few newspapers from the suitcase, "This is what I came to today. I bought a few newspapers on the way. Most of them are local newspapers in Getafe, and there are two newspapers in Madrid. But without exception, you are mentioned in them. The newspapers in Getafe are talking about you. You saved my story. And the newspapers in Madrid focus on you as a person and your team."

"The investigation is very thorough." Chang Sheng nodded, unable to tell whether it was admiration or indifference in his tone.

"Then I noticed just now that there were a lot of fans outside the apartment building, these people have been here since a long time ago, and then you showed up, signed their autographs, took pictures with them. It shows that you are in the mind of the Getafe fans, but It has a very high status."

"Is this what you call commercial value?" Chang Sheng asked.

"Yes. That's the business value."

"Ha! Then how do I do it? I charge five euros for everyone who asks for my autograph? Ten euros for a group photo?" Chang Sheng smiled disdainfully.

"Of course not. But if you are famous enough, it's not outrageous to ask every reporter who interviews you to pay. But it's a small amount of money." Kate Gracie said. "The real big money is your own worth. Don't you notice that all the media attention you get is a resource in itself?"

When Gracie said this, a thought flashed through Chang Sheng's mind.

The last time the gang of Chinese media tormented his parents, it made him feel that he still lacks strength and does not have enough money to make his parents live a better life.

From then on, he felt that he needed money very much, but he was not professional enough in how to make money.

Later, because of this reason, he buried this matter deeply in his heart, devoted himself to his work, and gradually forgot about it.

Now persuaded by Gracie, he rang again.

He is not a fool either, after passing through later generations, he naturally knows that a star coach like Mourinho can endorse many famous brands and earn a lot of advertising endorsement fees.

But he didn't realize that his current influence could be used to make money.

"There are so many people who follow you, you can endorse products, shoot advertisements, and earn advertising endorsement fees, why not? Although your influence is now limited to the Getafe area, what you can earn The money is not much. But what about the future? Do you think you will only be confined to this small place for the rest of your life? You said yesterday that your ideal is to become a top coach in the world. Although I don’t know much about football, I know any If an industry reaches the top level, it means a supreme status and great influence, and all of these can be exchanged for money."

At the moment when Chang Sheng was stunned, Kate Gracie was still eloquently displaying his tongue skills. Persuade Chang Sheng to accept his suggestion and hire himself as his agent.

Of course he didn't major in being a broker, but where does the profession of "broker" exist in this world?

A lot of agents, whether football agents. Or basketball agents, boxing agents, music agents, their original occupations may be various, some are accountants, some are lawyers, some are former football stars, former singers, former producers, etc., and some may even be Just an ordinary small business hawker.

And he understands economics, which is his specialty.

Since I can't get along in the banking circle, why don't I come to find another way?

You can make money as a broker. The same can make a comeback!

Chang Sheng came back to his senses and looked at the man in front of him with extraordinary conversation.

"But I don't have much income of my own now, so I can't afford to support you," he said.

"Your income is low, so is my income. My income is linked to your income. So your current income is very low, it doesn't matter, you don't need to pay me much, and I will open up new opportunities for you. The market. These are things you don’t have the energy to do, but I can help you. You don’t need to do anything. You just need to focus on your own work. As long as you believe in me, I will let you To be the richest football manager in the world! And this is in return for saving my life yesterday."

He said the last sentence very seriously, making Chang Sheng believe in his sincerity.

Lemon, who had been listening by the side, interrupted at this moment: "I think this is okay, Chang."

After Chang Sheng thought about it. But he said, "But I don't know your name yet?"

"Ah... I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kate Gracie. I'm from Getafe, Madrid, Spain. Although I was born here, I went to the United States when I was very young. I graduated from Harvard University and worked on Wall Street. Eight years of experience. So you can hire me with complete confidence."

"Well, Mr. Gracie..."

"Kate, you can call me Kate, Chang."

"Okay, Kate. You've managed to convince me that I'm going to hire you. When do we sign the contract?"

"You can do it now. Besides, don't you think it's a good idea to discuss the details of the contract while eating?" Kate Gracie smiled, looking very personable.

Chang Sheng raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was almost 8:30 in the evening. For the Spaniards, it was already meal time.

The Spaniards are somewhat similar to the Chinese. They also regard eating as a very important social activity, so it is normal in Spain to chat and talk about things while eating.

Therefore, Chang Sheng didn't think there was anything wrong with the other party's proposal.

"It's really good. Let's go, I'll take you to dinner." Chang Sheng waved and walked out of the apartment again.

Kate Gracie picked up the box and followed closely.

※※※

When Chang Sheng took Kate Gracie to stand in front of the door of the Egg and Hash Browns Bar, both of them noticed an obviously enlarged photo on a conspicuous position of the bar door.

The photo is a photo of Chang Sheng and the owner of this bar.

This is another time he was asked by the boss when he came here to eat.

Unexpectedly, they were hung up at the door.

"Obviously, this bar is using your fame for profit. You have become their spokesperson, and people will come to this bar because they like you. Have you charged them money?" Kate Gracie Ask on the sidelines.

Chang Sheng shook his head: "No, I only found out today."

Gracie immediately said seriously: "Then I suggest you talk to their boss and get back your benefits."

Chang Sheng shook his head again: "Forget it, there's no need for that."

"If it's inconvenient for you, I can stand up for you..." Kate Gracie was very enthusiastic about this matter, after all, this was his chance to prove his ability to Chang Sheng.

But Chang Sheng's attitude is very firm: "No, it's not necessary."

Kate Gracie didn't understand: "Why?"

"Although I like money very much, I also like this bar very much. It's just a small amount of money, which is unnecessary." After speaking, Chang Sheng shook his head and opened the door of the bar.

Seeing his resolute attitude, Kate Gracie had no choice but to keep silent and followed him in.

As soon as the bar owner saw that Chang Sheng was the guest who came in, he quickly came out from behind the bar and warmly gave Chang Sheng a warm hug: "Chang! You haven't been here for a while! I've been waiting for you for a long time! Save the ones, do you still want pancakes?"

Seeing Chang Sheng, other guests in the bar also raised their glasses and wished from a distance: "Chang! We must win the weekend game!"

"Chang, I heard that you saved someone yesterday? I'm so proud of you! You are so brave!"

Another thing to see is that the die-hard Getafe fans simply sang the chorus of "Song of Chang", and they kept repeating: "Chang! Chang! Chang!"

So Chang Sheng also waved to them with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, we will definitely win the weekend game!"

Then they walked to his place and sat down facing each other.

Others didn't come up to disturb them further, and went back to doing what they should do.

Chang Sheng said to Kate Gracie: "If I take money from the boss, I don't think I can enjoy it all with peace of mind. Some things have nothing to do with monetary interests, Kate."

Kate Gracie's eyes flickered and she remained silent.

※※※

The meal took a little while, as the two had been hammering out the terms of the contract.

For example, because of Chang Sheng's own temper, he specifically made it clear that any matter that Kate Gracie did related to Chang Sheng's interests, he had to report to Chang Sheng. He only had the right to make suggestions, but not the right to make decisions. He is an agent, but he cannot monopolize power and become Chang Sheng's plenipotentiary spokesperson.

In terms of remuneration, the two sides negotiated quite quickly.

Finally, the contract was negotiated and the meal was finished.

Pay the bill and walk out of the bar.

Chang Sheng thought that Kate Gracie was going back to get the contract, so he broke up at the door of the bar.

Unexpectedly, Kate Gracie said, "I can't see you again, Chang."

"how?"

"You've got to take me in, Chang. I've got nowhere to go."

Chang Sheng opened his mouth wide and looked at the other party.

"My apartment is due today, and I have no money to pay the rent. If you don't treat me to a meal, I won't even be able to eat this meal." Kate Gracie said it as a matter of course, without blushing or panting. "Since you saved me once, save me a second time! I know you are a good person."

Chang Sheng was stunned for a long time, then lowered his head, admitting defeat.

Hello sister!

"You can only sleep on the sofa, and when you have money, you have to move out of me immediately."

"Wow, don't be so heartless, often..."

"I'm sorry, I don't want to mess around! Even though your name is really sissy!"
