Episode [010]: Let Me Talk to You About a Business

A corner in a coffee shop in an exclusive hotel in Hawaii.

Wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and beach pants, Zhong Cheng held a spoon in his hand and gently stirred the steaming coffee in front of him. His eyes were fixed on the person opposite.

Opposite is a man.

A man I met by accident!

This man doesn't look very old, middle-aged, with a middle parted hair. His eyes are sharp and bright, and he looks deep and shrewd.

In this life, Zhong Cheng saw this man for the first time.

However, Zhong Cheng knew who the man in front of him was. Because Zhong Cheng had a very deep impression on him in the previous life, so Zhong Cheng remembered this man.

The man was a football agent named Zia Joorabchian.

This is a very influential and well-connected agent in South America. In Zhong Cheng's memory, this guy later managed the transfer of many South American players, including the well-known Ramirez, Ruo, and Coutini. O, Douglas Costa and Joao Mario and others.

The most famous thing is that he joined Tevez and Mascherano to the Premier League West Ham United.

His ability to operate Tevez and Mascherano to West Ham United is nothing, the most important thing is the subsequent impact. During the period, the Premier League found that when West Ham United registered Tevez's participation rights, they did not purchase all the economic rights related to Tevez from his agent Joorabchian in advance, which violated the league's regulations. However, the penalty for West Ham United was only 5.5 million pounds in the end, without deduction of league points, but West Ham United must immediately obtain full ownership of Carlos Tevez.

The reason for this is that Tevez's ownership is with his agency, not West Ham United.

In this regard, there are many kinds of sayings, and the more reliable ones are the following two,

One is that Joorabchian has only one transfer consultant, not an agent, who belongs to the British sports investment company. The ownership of Tevez and Mascherano belongs to a broker company in South America, and Joorabchian is just a middleman to help deal with the transfer of Tevez and Mascherano.

Moreover, this brokerage company intends to acquire West Ham United, so Joorabchian let Tevez and Mascherano operate to West Ham United to prepare for the acquisition of West Ham United. Not enough Later, West Ham United was sold to the Irish, so something went wrong later.

The second is that the hands of Tevez and Mascherano have the right to be teased by Joorabchian, and they are all in his hands. He did not sell Tevez and Mascherano to West Ham United, but loaned them to West Ham United.

The Premier League does not allow the ownership of players to belong to agents, and such players cannot be registered.

Tevez was obviously regarded as a cash cow by Joorabchian, and later he moved Tevez to Manchester United. At that time, he rented Tevez to Manchester United for 10 million pounds, and Manchester United bought out Tevez's ownership at a price of 25 million pounds two years later. But then Ferguson felt that it was not worthwhile to spend 25 million pounds to buy Tevez, so he gave up.

Later, Joorabchian transferred Tevez's operation to Manchester City. When he joined Manchester City, Tevez's weekly salary was as high as 160,000 pounds.

So far, Zhong Cheng has not figured out what is the relationship between Joorabchian, Tevez and Mascherano?

However, Zhong Cheng can guess that now Joorabchian is definitely planning to move Tevez and Mascherano to England.

However, because of Zhong Cheng and Leeds United, there was a butterfly effect. West Ham failed to get promoted last season and is still in the Championship, not the Premier League. Therefore, Joorabchian probably wouldn't tell Tevez and Mascherano to go to West Ham United.

Of course, Zhong Cheng is not clear, where is Joorabchian going to operate Tevez and Mascherano?

However, Zhong Cheng is very interested in Tevez and Mascherano.

Of course, if he hadn't met Joorabchian here, Zhong Cheng might not have remembered these two players, or he would have missed them.

Carlos Tevez and Mascherano were both born in 1984 and both are 22 years old now. But the names of the two are not small. Mascherano was selected for the Argentine national team at all levels very early. In 2001, he was selected for the Argentine U17 and won the fourth place in the U17 World Youth Championship. In 2003, at the age of 18, he came to play for the Argentine giants River Plate, and this year he won the fourth place in the U20 World Youth Championship.

In 2004, Mascherano was selected for the Argentine Olympic team and won the Athens Olympic champion as the main force.

Mascherano was selected for the Argentine national team last year, represented Argentina in the Confederations Cup and won the runner-up. In the same year, he was transferred to the Brazilian giants Corinthians with a worth of 15 million US dollars. And now he is also a player of the Argentine national team and will participate in the upcoming World Cup in Germany this year. Mascherano is now in Germany.

What a genius to see that there is no 22-year-old who is the main force of the Argentine national team.

Compared with Mascherano, Tevez is not inferior at all, even stronger and more talented.

Tevez came to Argentina's wealthy club Boca Juniors when he was 12 years old, and played for the same club as his idol Riquelme. In 2003, when he was 18 years old, Tevez ushered in a big explosion. In this season, he helped Boca Juniors win the Argentine Serie A championship and the Liberator of South America. The predecessor of the Cup) defeated AC Milan and won the championship, realizing the club's treble crown.

This formation is even stronger than these young players of Leeds United.

Many European media claimed at the time that another alien Ronaldo had emerged in South American football.

Also relying on his excellent performance this season, Tevez won the Argentine Footballer of the Year. South American Libertadores Cup MVP and South American Footballer, he was only 19 years old at the time.

At that time, he was already a player of the Argentine national team, and in the Copa America, Tevez scored key goals in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, leading the Argentine team to the final.

In 2004, Tevez still performed amazingly in the league, then participated in the 2004 Olympic Games and became the top scorer with 8 goals, and in the final with a goal, Argentina won the Olympic football championship for the South American team for the first time. .

Tevez played a total of 75 times and scored 26 goals in Boca for nearly four years. In 2003 and 2004, he was awarded South American Footballer of the Year and Argentine Footballer of the Year twice.

And last year, Carlos Tevez was transferred to the Brazilian Corinthians club at a price of 20 million US dollars. At that time, it caused crazy opposition from the fans of the Brazilian Corinthians club, who hated the Argentine players.

However, the Corinthians club did not bring in these two for the purpose of allowing them to play for the Corinthians club.

Because the Corinthians Club is controlled by a brokerage company. At that time, they introduced these two players, in fact, to get the ownership of these two players to their brokerage company, and then sell these two super talents at a high price. sell to Europe.

However, some people say that it was Tevez and Javier Mascherano's amazing Joorabchian who paid for the ownership of the two. Joorabchian has a cooperative relationship with Corinthians, so he is ready Take a secondary school in Corinthians.

These two are now famous talented players in the world. Both are 22 years old. They are both the main players of the Argentine national team and will participate in the upcoming World Cup in Germany.

Zhong Cheng now mainly wants to figure out whether the ownership of Tevez and Mascherano is in the hands of the so-called brokerage company or in the hands of Joorabchian. Is Joorabchian a transfer consultant or an agent like Jorge Mendes and others?

Of course, Zhong Cheng also hopes to get these two good stars into his team. After all, Leeds United will participate in the UEFA Champions League next season, and Leeds United must strengthen their strength.

Tevez and Mascherano are both very good and very strong.

Of course, Zhong Cheng still hopes to rent it.

He has been on loan for at least one or two years, and Zhong Cheng also knows that Joorabchian should be more inclined to rent at this time, because his goal is those super wealthy, and then make a lot of money.

Therefore, Zhong Cheng had such an idea when he saw Joorabchian.

To Zhong Cheng's surprise, before he called Horabchian to stop, Horabchian stopped himself first. Zhong Cheng immediately understood that it seemed that Joorabchian's target was himself.

Zhong Cheng smiled slightly, and the initiative changed instantly.

It's not that he asks Joorabchian for sincerity, but that Hoorabchian asks him for sincerity.

Zhong Cheng naturally pretended not to know Joorabchian, and acted as an actor in front of Joorabchian.

At this time, Joorabchian immediately said seriously: "Mr. Loya, my name is Zia Hoorabchian, you can call me Zia. I am a professional agent, please forgive me if I disturb you!"

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly, and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Qi Ya, I don't know why you stopped me?"

Zia Horabchian immediately said seriously: "Mr. Loya, I'm here today to discuss a business with you!"

Zhong Cheng naturally knew what was going on in his heart. It seemed that West Ham hadn't been promoted successfully. Joorabchian has set his goal on himself, and he wants to cooperate with Leeds United.

To be honest, Zhong Cheng is more willing to accept it. It is very good to be able to rent Tevez and Mascherano for a season or two. However, Zhong Cheng is also afraid of trouble. If there is a problem with Tevez's ownership and registration qualifications, it will be a big deal for Leeds United.

For some reason in the previous life, West Ham United was given a lighter sentence, only a fine of 5.5 million pounds, without deducting league points or ordering relegation. However, if it is their Leeds United team, Zhong Cheng is really not sure whether the Premier League will be re-issued.

Therefore, Zhong Cheng was still a little tangled in his heart.

However, if things are explained, it is not impossible. Therefore, Zhong Cheng still sat down and had a face-to-face conversation with Joorabchian. He was very interested in these two people.

However, Zhong Cheng didn't seem too anxious. While stirring the coffee in front of him casually, he said casually, "I don't know what business you want to discuss with me?"
