Champion’s Heart

The next day, after Zhou Yi's training, he was a little surprised when he saw Schulze outside the training base again: It's you again?

Yeah, I'm here again. So this time, can I have the honor to treat you to a meal, Zhou Yi? Schulze said with a smile.

This, I'm really sorry... Zhou Yi refused with a look of embarrassment.

Okay, it's okay, it's okay. I wish you an early game. Schulze reached out to Zhou Yi and shook hands with him.

After Zhou Yi bid farewell to Schulze this time, he took two steps and looked back at him, only to find that Schulze was waving at him.

On the third day, Zhou Yi was no longer surprised when he met Schulze outside the training base. He even took the initiative to greet him: Hi, Mr. Schulze.

Hello, Zhou Yi. How was your training today? Did it go well? Schulze asked him with a smile.

Well. It's okay.

Congratulations, you are one step closer to your goal of playing the game! Schulze clapped his hands.

So as a celebration, Mr. Schulze treats me to a meal?

Huh? Facing Zhou Yi's request, Schulze didn't react at all.

Ah, can't you?

No, no, no! Schulze, who came back to his senses, waved his hands quickly. No problem at all! What would you like to eat?

I know there's a small restaurant that's not crowded, but I go there a lot.

That's great, let's go! Schulze said excitedly, and even walked away.

After taking two steps, he realized that he didn't know which direction to go, so he stopped and said to Zhou Yi with some embarrassment: Sorry, I'm so excited...

Zhou Yi waved his hand: It's okay, Mr. Schulze. But have you always been so full of fighting spirit?

Of course. Having said that, Schulze straightened his chest, This is my greatest strength!

Seeing Schulze like this, Zhou Yi also smiled.

Zhou Yi finally brought Schulze to the small restaurant where he often dined with Cortana and Hannah.

After sitting down and ordering food, Schulze finally confirmed that Zhou Yi really agreed to eat with him, so he dared to ask the question in his heart at this time:

Zhouyi. I'm curious. You rejected me so flatly two days ago, why did you take the initiative to have dinner with me today?

In our China, there is a saying of 'three visits to thatched cottage'. Mr. Schulze. It means that you only meet people after three visits, to show the sincerity of the visitrs. So I thought of this word when I saw you for the third time .You are so sincere, I am too embarrassed to refuse again. And...the person who cooks at my house is not here today. Ha!

Hearing Zhou Yi's explanation, Schulze also laughed, what an interesting boy.

Then please allow me to introduce myself to you. And the brokerage company I work for. Schulze said.

Zhou Yi nodded: Okay, please.

Schulze began to say: My name is Tino Schulze. I belong to a brokerage company. The brokerage company is a relatively young sports brokerage company. It was only established in 2007. But the development in the industry is very rapid. Our company and Compared with other brokerage companies, they pay more attention to the discovery and training of young players, so our company has many young players, and I will say that you must be familiar with one—Mario Gotze. He is also a player under our company.”

Zhou Yi showed an understanding expression.

I won't tell you that our company is the most powerful agency in German football, in fact we are not. Among the most famous agencies in Europe. We are not ranked. But what I will say is, Our company really attaches great importance to young players, even this is the most important aspect of our company. I don’t think it’s better to choose a strong agency than to choose a suitable one. Because most of the players under our company are young players. So we He is very aware of the needs of young players and knows how to help young players improve.

So I signed under your agency? Zhou Yi asked.

Uh. Yes and no. If you choose to sign with me, then I will serve you, but you are a player under our company, because I am an agent under our company. Schulze explained.

Oh, that's right... Zhou Yi nodded in a daze.

Schulze continued to introduce the situation of their company, and introduced several well-known agents in the company, including Gotze's agent Volker Struth and Royce's agent Dick Herber. .

Finally, he talked about himself.

As for myself, uh... Schulze hesitated for a moment, and then said to Zhou Yi: Actually, I also really want to tell you which star players I have under my banner, so that I can show that I am also very good. But it is a pity that , no, not a single one.

Schulze spread his hands and said: I just got the FIFA agent's license, and I just entered this industry not long ago. Before that, I was just a lawyer who loved football crazily. Of course, I am also a lawyer in this industry. An unknown person... I know it's hard to get you to entrust your future hope to a newcomer like me, and I can't find a better reason to convince you, but I still have to work hard. Because hard work is mine Another plus!

Zhou Yi was amused by Schulze: You have a lot of advantages, Mr. Schulze. I thank you for being so frank with me, so I will tell you frankly--I can't do anything about the agent right now. To give you an answer, even if I eat your meal, I will not agree to you easily. This meal is just to enhance our mutual understanding. But in the end, I may have to consider many factors. Sorry .”

Schulze waved his hand: It's okay, I'm already very happy that you are willing to say these words to me so frankly. Before you reject me explicitly, I will try to persuade you. I hope you don't find me annoying.

Do you invite me to dinner every day?

It's not impossible!

Forget it. Zhou Yi smiled and waved his hands, There is a saying in China called 'eating people's mouths is soft, but taking people's hands is soft'. If you eat too much, I'm afraid I will soften my heart.

Your Chinese sayings are really interesting, ha! Schulze also laughed.

After the meal, the two of them did not talk about work anymore, but chatted about some small talk, such as Schulze is very interested in China, but has never been there. So Zhou Yi gave him a good science popularization about what a modern China is like.

After dinner. After Schultz settled the bill, the two said goodbye.

※ ※ ※

Tino, haven't you given up yet? friend Selkan asked Schulze on the phone.

I finally succeeded in inviting him to have a meal today! Schultz said excitedly.

Well, that's really good news. How's your talk going?

I introduced the situation of the company to him in detail...

Then he agrees to you as his agent?

Uh...not yet...

It seems that Chinese boys are not stupid. You are wasting time, Tino. You have been in the company for half a year. You have not signed a player. If this continues, I am very worried about your future in the company. ...

Ahem. I know, Okata. Wouldn't that be a good start?

But it's meaningless - what are you going to use to impress him? An agent pursuing a player is like pursuing a girlfriend. Either you have a lot of money and can make her fall under your money offensive. Or you are strong enough to make her fall in love with you. She has a sense of security. Either you are handsome. Let her fall in love with you immediately. If you have no money and are neither strong nor handsome, if you are romantic. You can also attract some young girls. What are your advantages?

I have... I have sincerity, enthusiasm, and hard work!

Those are the most useless. It's like when you chase a girl, you can't give anything but just say 'I love you very much. Honey. I love you the most in this world'. Do you think this can Did you catch the girl?

Schulze was dumbfounded by Selkan's question and couldn't answer at all.

And the girl you're chasing is still so good, there's no shortage of suitors at all... I can already see you out, Tino. Don't waste time on him, start with the players of the small teams in the low-level leagues, slowly Accumulate experience, keep your feet on the ground and make progress a little bit, you will succeed. If you still can’t forget the girl in your heart by that day, then go after her again, at least at that time you can straighten your chest and talk about your advantages instead of expecting God to favor you now.

While Serkan was talking, there was silence on the other end of the phone. After speaking, Serkan thought the phone was disconnected: Hello, Tino? Are you still there?

I'm here, Otaka. Thank you for your reminder, but I still have to work hard. Zhou Yi is like the first love in my agent career. You know, everyone's first love is the best and the hardest to give up of……

Why are you so stubborn, kid? All I tell you is my experience as a person who has experienced it! Seeing that Schulze still couldn't be persuaded, Selkan was a little annoyed.

I know, I know these are your heartfelt words and experiences, and I thank you too. But... stubbornness is also my strength, Otaka.

But if you are so stubborn, you will only bring trouble and trouble to the pursued!

If Zhou Yi thinks I'm annoying, he can reject me directly, and I won't go to him again.

You... Selkan didn't know what to say, and finally just sighed, You can do whatever you want.

The next day, Tino Schulze was wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase, standing among a group of fans wearing Dortmund jerseys and Dortmund caps, waiting outside the training ground together, looking very out of place, like an insurance salesman member……

When the gates of the training base opened and the players drove out of it, the fans became excited. They flocked up and asked for autographs from their targets, and if they were lucky, they could even get a group photo.

But Schulze was not moved, but still stood there, looking into the training base.

As the stars leave one by one, there are fewer and fewer fans around them.

And Schulze finally saw that familiar figure walking out of the training base.

After seeing the figure, some fans also went up to him, asked him for his autograph and asked him: Wizard, will Barrios score in the next round?

While signing for him, Zhou Yi said, You have to ask him about this.

Then someone went up to find Zhou Yi's signature and asked him at the same time: Wizard, wizard, can I pass the exam next week?

Zhou Yi bowed his head and signed his name and said: As long as you work hard to prepare for the exam, you will be able to pass!

Not many people came to find Zhou Yi to sign. Compared with other Dortmund players, Zhou Yi can be described as deserted.

But Zhou Yi didn't seem to care about these things. There were not many people, and some people came with other purposes. He didn't care. He still signed everyone's signature seriously, and patiently answered their weird requests.

After he finished the anti-nausea, Schulze went up to him.

Hi, Zhou Yi.

Ah, Mr. Schulze. I saw you today too?

Of course, I'm here to bother you again. But if you think I'm annoying, you can just reject me, no problem. Schulze said.

Okay, I won't be polite, Mr. Schulze. But so far, I don't find you annoying.

Haha! That's good. Want to have dinner together today?

Oh, no need for today...

Is the person who cooked for you today home?

Um……

Okay then, let me walk with you for a while, and I'll see you at the intersection ahead, okay?

No problem! (To be continued.) Enable new URL
