Chapter 123

  Xia Xing sat down and the waiter served green tea.

"This is chinese green tea. I ordered it for you. You should like it."

"Thank you, I like it very much."

Xia Xing took a sip of tea and then recounted the conversation he had just had with Van Gaal in detail, nothing left out.

Facing this new friend whom he met for the first time, Xia Xing was sincere.

Finally, he stretched out his thumb with emotion: "You are really good at predicting things. You are worthy of being the top agent in the world of football - Mr. Mendes."

Sitting opposite Xia Xing is none other than Jorge Mendes, a well-known agent in international football!

Mendes, 48, is one of the best football agents in European football.

Even if you say he is the best, it is not an exaggeration.

Under his command, countless famous names are his clients.

Ronaldo, Pepe, Di Maria, Falcao, Rodriguez, De Gea, Marcelo...

In addition to players, many well-known coaches are also his clients.

For example, the super crazy Mourinho is Mendes' friend and client.

He has single-handedly planned countless transfer events that shocked the football world.

Cristiano Ronaldo's move from Manchester United to Real Madrid was a big move by Mendes.

There are also Rodriguez who moved from Porto to Monaco, Pepe who moved from Porto to Real Madrid, Falcao who moved from Porto to Atletico Madrid, and Anderson who joined Manchester United from Porto...

As a Portuguese, he has an excellent relationship with the Portuguese "black shops"(Benfica, Porto, Sporting), and he has been involved in many transfers.

This summer, he also continued to make big moves.

Rodriguez's transfer deal from Monaco to Real Madrid has taken shape, and the price of 80 million euros is quite objective.

Diego Costa's move from Atletico Madrid to Chelsea and Mangala's move from Porto to Manchester City have been finalized.

In just three transactions, the transfer amount involved exceeded 150 million.

In addition to transfer operations, Mendes is also very good to his clients.

He is not the kind of agent who only seeks immediate benefits for his clients. He also seriously considers his clients' future development.

For example, Falcao and Rodriguez's double transfers were decided by Mendes after countless discussions.

But now, he has taken a fancy to Xia Xing.

Yesterday afternoon, when Mendes called Xia Xing, Xia Xing was quite surprised.

The famous Mendes actually contacted him directly?

After the two had a brief chat, Mendes directly suggested that Xia Xing transfer and leave Manchester United, which was in line with Xia Xing's wishes.

Mendes predicted the attitude of Manchester United today, but Xia Xing was still doubtful.

Unexpectedly, he got it right.

Looking at Xia Xing in front of him, Mendes was smiling.

"Xia, I have been observing you for a long time before calling you.

"I've been watching you since you started to emerge in the Championship.

"I am amazed by your talent.

"I also know from others about your hard work and professionalism.

"You know, players who can compare with you,

"I have one next to me, he has won several Ballon d'Or awards.

"Next, it's up to you.

"I'm exaggerating maybe, but I know your value better than you do,

"Haha, you have to believe in the vision of a professional football agent."

"You have excellent football talent,

"You have a heart that longs for victory,

and you have the diligence to endure loneliness.

"This is good, very good.

"Your physical fitness is also top-notch.

"Not only flexible, but also strong.

"If you didn't look at your skin color, I would even suspect that you have African ancestry.

"These are your subjective conditions, which are very good.

"Let's talk about your objective conditions.

"You grew up in China and you have European ancestry and you have a British passport.

"That's great.

"Your future commercial value will also be much higher than that of ordinary stars.

"When I heard you didn't have an agent,

I was so happy.

"You are God's gift to me, kid.

"I came to see you today to introduce myself to you and hope to become your agent."

Mendes talked eloquently, while Xia Xing listened carefully.

In fact, Xia Xing has been considering this issue for a long time.

When he signed with Manchester United, he was just a young boy.

What Manchester United signed was actually just an ordinary academy contract.

If Xia Xing is really ruthless, he can even directly buy out the remaining contract and then leave as a free agent.

This way he can get better treatment for himself.

But he won't do that.

After all, it was Manchester United who gave him the opportunity to become a professional player, and he must repay this kindness.

And because of Sir Alex Ferguson's reputation, Xia Xing would never do that.

But next, no matter whether he signs with any team, future salary issues must be considered.

There are also commercial contracts that may arise in the future, and he also need someone to help his take care of them.

And Mendes is definitely an excellent choice.

Even beyond Xia Xing's imagination.

You must know that Mendes doesn't just sign anyone. As long as he takes action, he must think that you have great potential.

Thinking of this, Xia Xing nodded: "Mr. Mendes, I agree to you becoming my agent."

Mendes was stunned for a moment: "Don't you need to think about it again?"

Xia Xing shrugged: "The best agent in the world is in front of me, what else do I need to consider? I trust you very much."

"Okay!" Mendes clapped his hands, with a satisfied smile on his face, "You are such a straightforward young man, I like it."

Xia Xing stretched out his hand: "Can we sign the contract now?"

"no problem!"

Mendes immediately took out a contract from his bag and handed it to Xia Xing.

Xia Xing glanced at the commission amount and signed it directly.

Mendes smiled and said: "Don't you want to look carefully? What if you encounter unreasonable terms?"

Xia Xing waved his hand: "If I don't even believe in a reputable person like you, then I should despair of this world."

After taking over the contract, Mendes looked at Xia Xing in front of him again.

This time, he seemed to get to know this young man again.

Through observations last season and inquiries from friends in Leicester City, he thought he knew this young man very well.

But now, he felt that this young man was even better than he thought.

As long as the goal is determined, it will be implemented quickly and neatly, without any delay in doing things.

With this ability, he can look forward to the future!

Putting away the contract, Mendes stood up and looked at Xia Xing solemnly.

"Hello, xia,

"Please allow me to introduce myself again:

"I am Jorge Mendez, your agent,

"I am honored to have a client like you,

"I am very sure your future is full of expectations,

"I promise you,

"I will do my best to help you fight for better interests in the future,

"not only at the competitive level, but also at the economic level,

"I will help you fight for the best!"

"I am Happy to work with you!"
