At seventeen, I went to Spain to win the World Cup

"Deal!" He almost gritted his teeth to say these two words.

Mike's heart was about to break. He knew that he had no hope of getting a raise. The salary that should have belonged to him was taken away by Barnett, the vampire.

Seeing that the contract was reached, Barnett was full of joy, but on the surface he did not move, and signaled Lin Chen to sign the contract with Mike first.

Once the contract in black and white is signed, neither party can change it.

Mike signed his name with a trembling hand, and the contract agreement was reached.

Seeing that the contract was settled, Barnett finally laughed, hugged Mike's shoulders and rubbed them repeatedly.

"Let's go, I'll treat you tonight, go to my house, and treat you to 82 Lafite."

When Mike heard that there was 820 Lafite, his mood became a little better, but he suddenly seemed to remember something while walking on the road.

"Lafite from 1982?"

"Didn't you take it from my house the night before?"

"Fuck you!"

...

The story of Mike and Barnett started 18 years ago.

At that time, Mike was still a waiter in a restaurant, while Barnett had just started his own agency and was facing a situation of insufficient funds and bankruptcy.

Extremely depressed, he came to the restaurant and wanted to buy something to eat with the ten pounds he had left.

But after looking around, he found that the price of what he wanted was not enough, so Barnett was helpless and prepared to leave.

It was late at night, and Mike saw the lonely Barnett, so he spent his two pounds and let Barnett eat a 12-pound cake.

Then he stole a bottle of red wine from the kitchen and took some snacks that were about to expire.

The two drank together for a long time that night and talked a lot before they found that both of them were unsatisfactory in their respective fields.

Mike was not originally a waiter, but the owner of this restaurant, with an excellent business mind.

Unfortunately, the economic market was in turmoil. Mike wanted to close the store to get through the difficult period, but he finally chose to take a gamble and bet all his wealth, and finally lost everything.

The situation was basically the same as Barnett's. Both of them were characters who dared to take big steps and take risks in the business market.

Just one month later, Barnett's capital chain was not broken. It was quickly replenished and revived. Barnett also found Mike as soon as possible to help him start to participate in relevant matters in the football world.

First started as a scout, then a small agent, specializing in negotiating professional contracts at the Championship level for youth training players.

Later, the Finnwei Group settled in Anfield and urgently needed a local expert in England with rich football knowledge and excellent business acumen.

Finnwei found Barnett and asked for advice as soon as possible. Barnett immediately recommended Mike. Since then, Mike has firmly established himself as the English general manager of Liverpool Club.

Responsible for all matters of the club from top to bottom, including negotiations with players, contracts, and the selection of youth training players. Transfer of physiotherapists, masseurs, chefs and other personnel.

Finnwei thought that the training before the negotiation had made Mike wake up, but he had never thought that the friendship between him and Mike for several years could not compare to the 18-year-old tenderness between him and Barnett.

The relationship between the two was far more important than anything else, which was why Mike agreed to Barnett's contract request.

If it were any other young man, no matter how outstanding he was, he would not agree to meet it.

After 15 appearances, the weekly salary was raised to 100,000, which was even a contract for a 17-year-old young player.

After two or three years, when Liverpool signed the next contract with Lin Chen, the base had to be increased from 100,000 pounds, which was not a small amount.

Many wealthy teams offered players a weekly salary of 700,000 or 800,000 because they gave too much weekly salary when they were young, and they increased it little by little, and finally broke the upper limit.

After signing the contract, the system prompt sounded in Lin Chen's mind.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully reaching the milestone and signing the first professional contract in life, with 150 points as reward!"

"The accumulated points have reached 345 points, and the next skill can be drawn!"

Lin Chen did not hesitate and immediately started drawing.

"Drawing for the host, please wait."

The golden rolling skill pool continued to surge, and then the black and gold light bloomed from the skill pool.

"He is the embodiment of elegance, he is a top midfield master."

"His superb football IQ and broad vision allow him to pass the ball to any area on the court."

"Exquisite skills, turning around in a small space, and his excellent ability to control the rhythm of the game make him a historical midfield superstar!"

"Congratulations to the host for drawing Pirlo's black and gold skill, extraordinary passing!"

When he heard the superb football IQ and extraordinary passing ability,Strength, Lin Chen subconsciously thought of Pirlo, and the final result was exactly as he expected.

The skill with black and gold light slowly appeared below the attribute, and Lin Chen clicked to check.

"Black gold special skill Extraordinary pass: Increase the host's long pass accuracy by 25% when in the midfield area, the ground pass accuracy by 15%, and the through ball success rate by 5%!"

Lin Chen was overjoyed when all three passing abilities were improved.

From this moment on, he was no longer the engineer-type midfielder who could only rely on brute force to rush around on the field.

As long as he further improved his passing attributes through serious training and game accumulation in the future, he would become a midfielder who had both confrontation and organization, and could control the rhythm of the game!

The two major skill extractions were both skills that met his needs. Lin Chen was looking forward to it. After the third skill was extracted and the next growth module was opened, his own abilities would surely grow more comprehensively.

After signing the contract, although Fenwei's face was livid, he also knew Lin Chen's current status in the hearts of Liverpool fans.

Liverpool must keep him no matter what!

Soon the news was announced on the entire network, Liverpool fans expressed their congratulations, and various legends came to like it.

Gerrard: "This is the first good news I received today. Congratulations to Liverpool for keeping Lin!"

Lampard: "Players like Lin must stay in the Premier League. He will make the Premier League more exposed!"

Liverpool fans: "How much weekly salary did Fenwei offer Lin? Is this really the bargaining chip that Fenwei can give?"

"Did I see it wrong, or did Fenwei drink too much on the day of the negotiation?"

"I didn't expect that Fenwei finally woke up one day and was willing to give its players more and better treatment. I was so moved."

Looking at the comments and reviews about himself on the Internet, Fenwei smiled with satisfaction because the contract suddenly started to get better.

He suddenly felt that giving Lin Chen this valuable contract might really be an extremely correct thing!
