Chapter 21 The Broker

Zhu Hantao, who didn't know anything about what happened in the club, was in a good mood at the moment. It turned out that he had received a call from his former teammate.

"Zhu Hantao, your phone is too difficult to make." Complaints from friends came from the other side of the microphone.

Zhu Hantao was a little embarrassed. At that time, he didn't have a mobile phone, so he kept his home phone number. In his family, his parents were busy in the store all day long, and he had to go out for training, so he often couldn't answer the phone.

"Ham, didn't you receive it? I'll give you my mobile phone number. It will be convenient for you to contact me in the future."

"Yo, have you finally bought a mobile phone, I thought you only had football in your life."

"Uh, that's not the case. By the way, Abdoulaye, why did you suddenly remember to call me? What's the matter?"

That's right, the person on the phone was Abdulla Yebamba, Zhu Hantao's good friend who had been with him when he was in the Juventus youth training echelon.

There is no other reason for them to know each other. Although Abdoulaye is one year older than Zhu Hantao, they joined Juventus at about the same time and promoted together in the echelon.

At that time, there were no other Asians on the team except Zhu Hantao. Although there were more than one blacks, there were very few of them. But they were the only two who could play the main force in the team. Children were not very sensible after all, and those white Italian players would always isolate them and be hostile to them.

Over time, the two of them naturally bonded together and became friends.

"I can't talk to you if I have nothing to do. It seems that I forgot my old friend when I was really developed. I still remember when I heard that you were leaving, I ran to the coach to intercede, alas."

Zhu Hantao:? ? ?
"No, no, what does it mean that I am developed? I have just started to improve, okay? Don't you also play the main right back for Juventus U19? Don't think I don't know."

"At that time, I thought you would give up football. Unexpectedly, the talented new star of Turin performed a hat-trick against Inter Milan. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. It's so awesome!"

"Then you, the main force of the Juventus youth team, called me just to flatter me, hahahahaha."

"Actually, there is nothing else. It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you a little. I just saw your news. I'm very happy for you."

In terms of getting along with friends, Zhu Hantao really didn't do a good job. He was more focused on football. If it weren't for this phone call, it might have been a sudden thought that he had such a friend when he recalled it.

"Hey, don't do this. I can't stand it. Are you free? Come to my restaurant if you are free. Let's have dinner and talk about the current situation."

"Hahahaha just teasing you, let's forget about today, let's do it next time."

"Okay, anyway, you have my mobile phone, let's make an appointment."

Since leaving Juventus, Zhu Hantao was in a low mood during that time, and has never been in touch with his former teammates, even if he has the best relationship with Abdoulaye.

Although it was just a phone call, it was really a kind of joy of reuniting old friends.

Just hung up the phone, "Dingling, Dingling!" Who is it?
"Hello, who are you looking for?" Zhu Hantao answered the phone.

"Zhu? I'm Fabio, the club manager. I was there when you signed last time."

"Oh, hello, manager, what's the matter?" Zhu Hantao was a little surprised, what kind of call did the club manager call him at this time.

"It's like this. In view of your recent performance in the Italian Youth Team League A, the club has decided to give you a new contract."

"Ah, isn't that the contract you just signed?"

"However, that contract can no longer match your current worth. When it is convenient for you, let's make an appointment to come over and sign the contract."

"Oh, then I'll ask my dad and give you an answer later."

"Okay, I also want to remind you that you may need to find an agent."

broker?How should I find it?

Zhu Hantao who hung up the phone was a little dazed. He really didn't know where his manager should go to find him. Forget it, let's go to the store to find his father first.

As soon as he left the house, he saw a middle-aged man who was acting suspiciously outside the door and didn't know what he was doing.

The man's eyes lit up when he heard the movement and saw that it was Zhu Hantao who was going out, and immediately printed it, "Hello, Zhu, my name is Manuel, and I'm an agent. I don't know if you have signed an agent. If not, you can consider me."

Um, is this what you want? It's pretty good.

"Should we talk here? Let's go to my restaurant for a while." For this kind of thing, you should probably find a coffee bar or restaurant to sit down and have a chat. Isn't a Chinese restaurant a restaurant?

"Please sit here for a while, I'll be right back." Zhu Hantao took Manuel to his restaurant, found him a seat and asked him to sit and wait for a while, then went to the back kitchen to find his father.

"Son, why are you here?"

Zhu Hantao told Zhu Zeyu about the new contract and the messy things about the agent, and asked him what to do.

You ask me?I don't know, I'm just a cook, or a restaurant owner, and I don't know anything about football.

But as a father, you can’t lose face in front of your son. You still need to have the majesty of a father. "What do you think? You are not young anymore. You have made a name for yourself in football. You can make your own decisions. You don’t have to ask me about everything."

Well, in fact, Zhu Hantao already had an idea in his heart, and he didn't really expect Zhu Zeyu to give any advice.

"I thought, I'm not in a hurry to find an agent. If I plan to play in Serie A, or even stay in Turin for the rest of my life, then it's not impossible to sign with this person. Anyway, I will be responsible for negotiating the contract for me."

"Well, I'm listening, you go on."

"But Serie A as a whole is no good. I definitely won't stay here for too long. People may think I'm a bit arrogant when I say it, but at least I really want to go to other leagues."

"So you still want to find a more international agent, preferably a capable big name."

"Eh? Dad, you quite understand."

"Nonsense, or I'm your father, stop talking nonsense and continue."

"But where can I find such an agent?"

"Are you asking me? You might as well ask the coaches. And if you really find someone, can they like you?"

"Um, don't tell me if you see it through, okay, then I'll go out and talk to that person right away and send him away. Dad, you go to the club with me this afternoon to sign a new contract."

"Okay, okay, go out, I'm busy."

Although he didn't get any answer from his father, Zhu Hantao has made a clear decision in his heart.

"Can you tell me how you found my home?" Zhu Hantao was a little curious about this, who revealed his address.

"I'm not just an agent. I have brought some players and I have some acquaintances in the club. I found your home address where the staff of the Turin club are coming."

"Then why don't you knock on the door and wait outside, in case I'm not at home?"

"I thought you should go out. I was afraid of disturbing you when I knocked on the door. If you were resting and I woke you up, wouldn't your first impression of me be bad? If you are not at home, you have to go home. I will definitely be able to wait at the door."

Oh, this is quite a detail. If Zhu Hantao hadn't made his own plan, maybe he would have actually signed with this Manuel.

"Do you have any other players in your hands now, and why did you choose me?"

"Right now, there is only one second-tier player who is about to retire. Don't worry, if I sign you, I will serve you wholeheartedly.
After your game with Inter Milan, I investigated and understood you. I saw all the qualities that should be successful from you. I believe you have the potential to become a star. "

Zhu Hantao nodded with a confident smile, without humility, "Thank you very much for your recognition of me, but I have no plans to sign an agent for the time being, I'm sorry."

"No, no, no, don't worry, this is my business card. If you need an agent one day, you can find me." After Manuel handed over his business card, he tactfully left.

Not long after Manuel left, a fat man unexpectedly appeared in front of Zhu Hantao, "Do you want to be the best in the world?"

Who the hell chats with people like this when they meet, who is this?Zhu Hantao had black lines all over his head, "May I ask who you are?"

The fat man took off his sunglasses, "Raiola, I think you've heard this name before."

"Ah?" Zhu Hantao really didn't remember who this was for a while, and when he thought of the manager who had just left, he suddenly thought, "Oh! The manager of Nedved and Ibrahimovic!"

Raiola smiled, the fat man was actually quite cute, "Back to the question just now, do you want to be the best in the world?"

"Of course!" Zhu Hantao did not hesitate, "I have been working hard for this goal."

The fat man nodded in satisfaction, "Let me be your agent. You just need to play football well. From now on, leave things other than football to me. I promise you will get the reward and honor you deserve."

Zhu Hantao:? ? ?
so direct?But he has no doubts about La Fat's big words, after all, this is one of the best agents in the world.

Seeing that Zhu Hantao didn't answer immediately, Raiola continued: "Don't hesitate, trust me, I see the potential in you."

"How did you notice me? I mean, don't you already have a big-name star like Ibrahimovic under your command?"

"That game, between you and Inter Milan, I went to investigate another person. I didn't expect to see a better you. In comparison, I think your chances of success are much greater, so I came to you."

"Is that person Balotelli?" Zhu Hantao remembered something.

"That's right, there are more than 20 people on the field, and only you two are worthy of my personal visit."

"Then will you still sign him?" If Bashen was not signed by Lafat because of me, I don't know how it will develop in the future.

"Why do you care so much about others?" Raiola was a little strange, "I won't sign him for the time being, and I have to observe his performance again. What do you say, do you have to think about it?"

"No, I trust you."

"Very good, then a pleasant cooperation."

"The faster the cooperation."

"This is the contract I prepared. Take a look and sign it if there is no problem."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Hantao is finally a player with an agent. There are no excessive conditions in Raiola's contract because he is a young player.

The commission is a very common 5% salary and 10% transfer fee, Zhu Hantao is very satisfied with this.
