The next morning, Aldrich got up early and gently put aside Melanie's arm that was pressing on his chest. He tiptoed out of bed, walked out of the bedroom, closed the door, and exercised in the gym for twenty minutes.
I took a shower, went downstairs and made breakfast. After eating, I left a note and drove to Andrew's company. I sent him a text message on the way, but he didn't reply. He was probably still sleeping.
Andrew's company is located in a business district in West London. He rented an office building on the first floor. The layout of the company is no different from an ordinary workplace. However, his own reception room and office are surprisingly large. The decoration style of the office is more serious and solemn. The reception room
It's a lot more relaxed. There's a bar, sofas, stereos, TVs, etc. Overall, it feels more comfortable and relaxing.
After Aldrich arrived, he was taken to the reception room by a beautiful female secretary. Aldrich said he was casual and he was not a stranger anyway, but he asked for today's newspaper.
Soon, the female secretary came back with a stack of newspapers and placed them on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
The broadsheets and tabloids were dazzling. Aldrich sat quietly on the sofa and flipped through them one by one. He read them very quickly. He glanced at most of them and put them aside to take one copy.
The mainstream newspapers naturally focused on the Premier League match where Manchester United suffered a bloodbath at home yesterday.
The title is also quite shocking.
Such as "The Annihilation of Old Trafford", "The Fall of the Red Devils Dynasty", "The Wild Lions Conquer the Theater of Dreams", "The Millwall Championship is in Sight" and so on.
It's nothing more than stepping on Manchester United and praising Millwall.
Aldrich looked at it with dismay, but some tabloids actually published a piece of news that made him depressed.
"Manchester United's new star is impressed by the crazy lion coach. He came to vote in person!"
The picture shows Aldridge and Beckham sitting opposite each other in a restaurant, accompanied by two hotties.
Liverpool is a port city. There is no shortage of news. After the paparazzi get the news, they will not only give it to their old club, but will also sell it among peers. Anyway, the news will not be covered for long, and this kind of gossipy news cannot be talked about.
Exclusive sensations and the like.
However, a writer who is given an ordinary piece of news can write something sensational with the power of his pen.
Beckham met with Aldridge in Liverpool on the day after the game. What happened? Not important.
Anyway, adding a few words to the written news and then speculating on it can create attraction.
"Perhaps after witnessing Hall's team slaughtering his own team, Beckham already had the idea of escape from Manchester United. The disastrous defeat by Millwall did not make him feel bad. It seems that his heart is no longer there.
Manchester United."
In the past year, the media, which had speculated that Aldridge and Beckham had conflicts from time to time, now believe that the two have settled their differences and even sat down together to discuss creating a future together...
There is also this news in the entertainment pages of some newspapers. The pictures are basically the same, but the content has changed, about the golden child romance Aldrich and David Beckham becoming brothers-in-law. The funny thing is that there is also a line at the end.
Sending blessings.
Aldrich couldn't even smile.
Anyway, from now on, he will actively stay away from non-work social situations where Victoria and Beckham appear.
As for how Beckham will be punished by Ferguson after such news appears, it is not Aldridge's turn to care.
Andrew didn't arrive at the company until ten o'clock in the morning. He pushed the door in and said directly: "I'm packing my luggage at home. I'm going to fly to Brazil in the afternoon. Because I successfully managed Rivaldo's transfer, I met some friends there. They want to
After building a stable relationship network in Europe, I also want to have greater development in South America. So this time I am going to cooperate and open a brokerage company there. Do you have any suggestions?"
When it comes to business, Andrew doesn't say a word of nonsense.
Aldridge thought for a moment and said: "The transfer models in South America and Europe are very different. Anyway, even if you set up a company there, try not to show up. The characteristics of South American agency companies that control player ownership will make transfer transactions
It has become complicated. Even if you want to move players to Europe, it is best not to get involved in disputes."
Andrew nodded with deep understanding. He felt so incredible when he understood the operation mode of South American transfers.
In Europe, player ownership can only be in the hands of the club.
But in South America, player ownership can be in the hands of agents or brokerage companies. Once European teams want to introduce players, player transfers become complicated, because it is no longer a negotiation between clubs, but with agents or agents.
Brokerage firm negotiations.
It's complicated, but the benefits here are too great.
It is common for tens of thousands of pounds to buy out the ownership of a player in places such as Brazil or Argentina. Once the player becomes famous and resold, the profit will be at least millions of pounds, and the benefits will be hundreds of times greater.
times.
Andrew waved to Aldrich, and the two of them left the reception room and turned around to go to his office.
In the office, Andrew opened the desk drawer with a key, took out a document from it and handed it to Aldrich, saying: "Since the day my company was established, one of the people you asked me to find has finally been found. I
I’m curious, five years ago, this child was only four years old, why do you think he is so special?”
Aldrich was shocked and said casually: "You have your network, and I have mine."
Andrew raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Aldrich sat down, lit a cigarette, and calmly opened the document. On the first page, he saw the photo posted in the upper left corner of the document.
It's a nine-year-old boy named: Lionel Andres Messi.
The information contains an introduction to his family situation.
Aldrich looked at it and asked, "How did you find him?"
Andrew also lit a cigarette, exhaled the smoke and said calmly: "I have deployed hundreds of scouts in South America, and there are more than thirty in Argentina. Their main task is to send back information on all echelons of professional clubs across the country, and then spend the rest of the time
Traveling around the country, they go wherever there is a football team and collect information. This little guy was found in the community team in Rosario. His age, characteristics, and name all meet your requirements.
Judging from your expression, it should be right."
Aldrich flicked the ashes from his cigarette and nodded: "It's him."
Fortunately, this kid didn't live in some remote area. Rosario is also the second largest city in Argentina.
Think about it, if it were a quiet place, Barcelona's scouts might not be able to find him.
Aldrich frowned at the end.
"Your judgment is that they will not come to Europe?"
Andrew nodded and said: "Yes, his father is now his coach. My people told me that this kid is expected to play for the local team in Rosario in the future."
After thinking for a while, Aldrich closed the document and said in a deep voice: "Ask your people to arrange a physical examination for him over there, the highest-level one. Then, I will bring him to London."
Andrew was a little confused and frowned: "Physical examination? How to arrange it? Someone suddenly wants to give you a physical examination, will you agree? They will only call you a psycho!"
Aldridge sneered at this. He blew out smoke to play with the taste: "You always think you are smart, but in fact you are very stupid. Can't you let your people pretend to be the youth echelon coaches of the Argentine giants? River Plate, Boca, whatever he wants.
Which company puts a generous contract in front of them, and then the physical examination is a matter of course?"
After hearing this, Andrew ran through his mind, pointed at Aldrich with a smile, and cursed: "You are not smart, you are cunning! Among the three brothers, you are the most like dad."
"Arthur is a scoundrel. I'm not like him."
"Haha, if he hears it, he will beat you up."
The two brothers laughed and chatted for a while. Taking advantage of Aldrich's arrival today, Andrew took out a pile of collected intelligence and showed it to Aldrich.
Aldrich flipped through the documents quickly, basically looking at the names and photos before moving on to the next one.
The two chatted casually. Andrew, who had not eaten breakfast, asked his secretary to pack a table of takeaways and opened a bottle of good wine. He drank it with the same attitude as drinking soda.
His appearance made Aldrich dumbfounded. There were tables full of street takeaways and a bottle of top-quality red wine. It was like seeing someone eating at a food stall that costs five yuan a dish, but drinking Maotai worth tens of thousands of yuan.
The movement of flipping through documents suddenly stopped. Aldrich stared sharply at a piece of information. He looked left and right and finally determined that this person was someone he knew.
Hahahaha
Andrew raised his head with a strange look on his face, wiped the salad dressing from his mouth, took a sip of wine to moisten his throat and asked, "Why are you laughing?"
Aldrich pulled out the documents in his hand and threw them in front of the other party, saying: "Get him, within two years, I want him to come to Millwall."
Andrew lowered his head and looked carefully, why: "Are you kidding? Are you crazy? The previous investment in Ronaldinho has not been returned, and you are doing this again? This guy's family situation is too complicated.
Come on, bring him over and get everything settled, I estimate it’s at least four million pounds, you might as well just buy a famous star, he’s a wild boy.”
Aldrich crossed his legs and smiled without saying a word, very happy.
Andrew shouted: "Hey, Aldrich, are you awake? This kid named Sergio Lionel Kun Aguero Del Castillo has five other parents besides his parents.
Brothers and sisters! Damn, I have never seen anyone like you. When you poach someone, you have to poach the whole family too!"
Aldridge snapped his fingers and said decisively: "I will pay for it, why are you anxious? In short, bring him to London. The club can provide his father with a job, and he can continue to be a driver or manage the turf. Anyway, there is a future.
A large number of new jobs need to be recruited. His brothers and sisters are not required to be placed in aristocratic schools, as long as the level is not bad, and the place to live is simpler. I still have eight unused apartments there, so I can give them two."
Andrew scratched his head and asked in a deep voice: "Can you tell me the reason? Your network is also at work? Then why didn't you tell me his name before and let me find him?"
Aldrich spread his hands and said: "This child is cute and I like it. I think this reason is enough. At least I spent the money righteously. Even if this child proves that I was wrong in the end, then it will be regarded as my helping the poor. I will be happy."
."
Aguero's family of eight lives in a slum in the capital. The family's monthly income is less than 600 pounds. You can imagine how difficult life must be.
Andrew was so angry that he laughed and refused to get involved. Anyway, the three brothers had such personalities, and even ten cows couldn't hold back what they had decided.
He asked his secretary to come in and clean up the table, and then said: "Okay, I'll make some contacts when I go to South America this time. In addition, I have a lot of advertising contracts waiting to be signed with your players. You can show your support."
Aldridge said indifferently: "My request is very simple. I can't interfere with what the players want to do during the vacation. But during the season, the players can use their free time to take photos for advertisements and autographs. I don't care if they don't delay training. But I can't go all over the place."
Flying to attend business events. Andrew
, one thing you have to understand is that although most agents only have money in their eyes, wise agents understand that only when the players are in good condition on the court, the player's value will continue to increase. If things off the court interfere with the players.
