Chapter 381 You have to know something (supplement)
Yamane Mokichi's attitude was very good, and he always followed the etiquette of being a guest. He was sitting upright on his knees. When he heard Kitahara Hideji's question, he politely took out his business card and handed it to Kitahara Hideji with both hands, and introduced himself seriously.
: "Hello Kitahara-san, I am Yamane Mokichi from the Hanshin Tigers Team Affairs Department. Please give me your advice."
He had no way to contact Kitahara Shuji through official channels. Kitahara Shuji was under the legal age and it was a bit taboo to contact him publicly. He could only introduce him privately through acquaintances. His uncle Yamane Naonaka was obviously used to being the master of his family's dojo, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
It's unreliable, but he can't contact the promising players privately. This is a matter of eight immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers. It's not easy for him to beat around the bush to force Kitahara Shuji to meet him.
This is thanks to Kitahara Shuji's reputation. He has taken the Jade Dragon Flag and been in magazines. People who are interested know that he has practiced Ono's Itto-ryu technique, otherwise he would not be able to find this thread.
Kitahara Shuji took the business card with both hands and glanced at it. He was not surprised. He just waited for the other party to finish speaking out of etiquette, and then politely refused, taking advantage of the reason before talking about his uncle's attitude.
When Yamane Mokichi saw Kitahara Shuji's indifferent expression and didn't care when he heard the name Hanshin Tigers, he felt a little bad and was a little worried that he had a favorite team, but he still smiled in Kansai accent and said: "I'm taking the liberty to come and disturb you this time."
, I just want to ask if Kitahara-san has the intention to join professional baseball in the future? If so, maybe I can provide some help. Kitahara-san still has great potential, but after watching Kitahara-san's game, I found that Kitahara-san has not gone through too much.
With professional guidance, there is still a lot of room for improvement, and our team has professional training facilities and an experienced coaching team, such as..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yamane Naonaka, who said directly: "No need to be so long-winded, we are all our own people, just talk about the key points."
Yamane Mokichi choked and glanced at his uncle speechlessly, but he still changed his words obediently: "If Kitahara-san has the intention to join professional baseball, we hope that Kitahara-san can choose our team and provide the signing bonus and incentives.
In terms of bonuses and annual salary, I will work hard to get a good number for Kitahara-san."
Kitahara Shuji nodded politely and replied politely: "Thank you for your support of the team, but I have no intention of joining the professional baseball team. I'm sorry to make your trip in vain. Please have some tea."
After drinking tea, let’s go. I originally wanted to meet you because I wanted to see Naotaka Fukuzawa, so that I could at least make friends. However, you didn’t give Naotaka Fukuzawa face. You are really not a very particular person, and you shouldn’t have a close friendship.
He refused flatly, and Yamane Mokichi was stunned. Joining professional baseball is the wish of all baseball lovers. If you don't want to join professional baseball, why do you play baseball? Is it really for the passion of youth? It's just to coax children!
He suspected that Kitahara Shuji didn't know how lucrative professional baseball income was, and quickly said: "Why not? According to league regulations, the upper limit of signing bonus is 100 million yen, and the incentive bonus is 50 million yen. This amount alone is equivalent to the lifetime of an ordinary person.
In addition, there are many professional baseball stars with annual salaries of one to two hundred million yen now. With Kitahara-san’s talent, it is not impossible to get an annual salary of 300 million yen in the future... Please think about it again."
Kitahara Shuji pitched the entire game in the first game, and the ball speed was stable above 160. Although it was obvious that he lacked strict training, it further proved that he has great potential, which is why he attracted so many people in an instant.
Compared with the attention of Kitahara Shuji and the future value of Hideji Kitahara, things like playing Koshien in the snow are simply not worth mentioning, they are just children playing nonsense.
Professional baseball is the real baseball world!
In Japan, you can join professional baseball after graduating from high school, but if you want to enter professional baseball, you basically have to go through the draft, and the draft will be who ranked last last season and who will be selected first. In recent years, the Hanshin Tigers have been consistently ranked in the Central League.
At the bottom, we have to compete with the guy at the bottom of the Pacific League for the first and second picks. I think it won't be a problem to pick Kitahara Shuji after he graduates. This is a potential star with a ball speed of over 160 in high school.
After rigorous training, the probability of becoming a legendary pitcher in the future is more than 50%!
Even if you can't draft him, as long as you reach a tacit understanding with him, it only takes two years for Kitahara Shuji to join the team as a free agent after his rookie period. Kitahara Shuji is only 18 when he graduates from high school, and baseball is not a very popular sport.
It takes a lot of energy, and he can still vote for at least 15 years. It's nothing to waste two years, just treat it as training.
The only question is whether he agrees or not.
The Japanese Major League Baseball is not a law enforcement agency. It has no coercive power and cannot force players to play for a certain team. After the draft is over, it is up to the team and the players to discuss contract issues. If the players insist on refusing to sign, the team will have nothing to do with it.
The only solution is to waste a draft opportunity, which is a lose-lose situation. The player will not be able to play and make money this year, and will wait until next year to participate in the draft.
Therefore, although there are regulations prohibiting private contact with players, the general situation is that the team reaches a preliminary intention with the players in private, and then dares to select Yamane Mokichi in the draft. This is to confirm Kitahara Hideji's wishes, and for
Write a good check for his future.
Teams are not short of people, they are short of talent, and Hidetoshi Kitahara is a talent. If he is sent to the United States to play professional baseball, he will be top-notch.
As for why he didn't wait until he graduated from high school, can a 160-speed pitcher be retained until he graduates from high school? Other teams are not stupid. This thing has always been about quick hands and slow hands. They even invested early and waited for Hideji Kitahara in the future.
Wouldn't it be great if the Hanshin Tigers don't advance?
The Hanshin Tigers can completely "fire" several coaches and train Kitahara Shuji professionally in a private capacity for two years. For such a young man who has shown outstanding potential at the age of 17, this is completely worth it. Of course, this is a violation, but there were many violations.
Didn't the Giants just ignore the draft and snatch up the legendary pitcher Taku Ekawa? Hideji Kitahara has the potential to be the next Taku Ekawa, so it's totally worth the risk.
Yamane Mokichi or Hanshin Tiger was very sincere, and the bad check he wrote was generous enough. At this moment, Fuyumi Getsuga's eyes lit up. As long as he agreed, the upper limit would be 150 million yen in cash. Although he probably wouldn't be able to get that much, but
It's great to be able to get 100 million yen! Moreover, professional baseball players are popular among the people, are universally loved and respected, and have a high social status. It is also very convenient for them to change jobs when they are no longer active, such as becoming a team manager, coach, or serving as a professional baseball player.
The commentary is fine and the income is good.
If Xueli could get this condition, she would probably have signed the preliminary contract according to Xueli, and she would no longer have to worry about whether her sister would have enough to eat in the future. A private contract has no legal effect, but going back on it would be extremely harmful to one's character.
Ruining the future, usually very few people regret it after signing, and it is easy to die socially.
It's a pity that Xueli is a girl. It's a blessing for female professional baseball players to have an annual salary of three million yen. If they can't play, there is no guarantee at all...
The conditions were good, but she knew that Kitahara Hideji would not agree, and the one who could agree could not sign. She felt very regretful, and Kitahara Hideji refused again: "Mr. Yamane, I have made up my mind, and I am really sorry."
If he wants money, he doesn't need to play baseball. He is now making tens of millions of yen a year by running a pure store. If he really wants money, he might as well lead the Fukuzawa family to run the catering industry.
Then you can still be the boss and don't have to listen to other people's orders.
If this person came to Xueli to sign a contract, he would welcome it with both hands. Besides eating, Xueli also likes to play, and being an athlete is also a serious and good career. You can play and make money to buy delicious food, so he will naturally agree, but he
Forget it, that's not his ambition.
Yamane Mokichi saw that Kitahara Shuji's attitude was very determined. He didn't even raise his eyebrows when he heard about the huge amount of money at a young age. He robbed a bank and it was almost 100 million yen. There was no reason not to be tempted, and he really came with great goodwill.
Yes, the future is really good and impeccable. Although the annual salary in the first year after joining is a bit miserable, with only a maximum of 13 million yen, this is a league rule, and it also depends on who you compare with. Generally
Senior white-collar workers only get this amount in one year. After the rookie period, their prospects are very bright. If they are really capable, it will double every year. It is normal to get an annual salary of over 100 million in a few years.
Doubts surged in his mind, and he couldn't help but ask: "Has another football team contacted Kitahara-san?"
There is no reason not to doubt it. This matter is too suspicious. The information he found is very clear. Kitahara Shuji was born in a poor family in Tottori Prefecture, with an annual income of less than one million yen. He does not take seriously an annual income of one hundred times.
, how is this possible? The only explanation is that someone gave a higher price. He had already thought about the suspect, and asked: "Is it the Yomiuri Giant?"
The Giants have a lot of misdeeds and are known as the most successful team in professional baseball. However, in pursuit of victory, they do whatever it takes to win, and they often do shitty things. Violations are considered normal operations.
Just when Kitahara Shuji was about to deny it, Yamane Naonaka, who had been tapping his hands with a fan next to him, spoke up, "Kitahara, you are from Kansai. If you want to join the professional baseball team, you must choose a Kansai team. This is not negotiable! If there is a Tokyo ball
If a group comes to you, reject them immediately, and you are not allowed to join the Giants."
Tottori Prefecture is also considered Kansai, and the Giants are a team from Tokyo, and the Hanshin Tigers are a team from Kansai. The two sides are mortal enemies, a bit similar to the relationship between Real Madrid and Barcelona. This involves the dispute between Kanto and Kansai in Japan, and elite rentiers.
The confrontation between the upper class and the grassroots class, but generally speaking, Hanshin Tigers have been beating the giants, and the grassroots class is not the opponent of the elite class at all.
Then he turned to Yamane Mokichi and ordered: "Kitahara is one of our own, and you must do your best to get better treatment for him. You must not treat him badly. Do you understand!?"
Yamane Mokichi immediately responded "Yes", and Yamane smiled with satisfaction and tapped his hand with a fan: "Okay, this matter has been tentatively decided! Okay, let's not talk about these mundane things next.
Show me here, I haven’t been here for twenty-five or twenty-six years..."
Kitahara Shuji laughed angrily, who are you, this matter is settled like this?! You old boy and Fukuzawa Naotaka are brothers, how come they are so different, they are two completely different people? Do you also owe someone a favor?
A chop? What if you never suffered a loss?
He stretched out his hand to stop Yamane Naonaka from getting up, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yamane, please wait a moment!" Then he turned to Yamane Mokichi and said seriously: "Mr. Yamane, let me say it again, I have no plans to join professional baseball.
Even if I plan to join, I will not choose Hanshin Tigers."
The joy on Yamane Mokichi's face suddenly disappeared, and the expression on Yamane Naonaka's face suddenly turned ugly. In his opinion, this was Kitahara Shuji being disobedient and insisting on joining the Kanto team, and he immediately shouted angrily, "
"I'm rude" and hit Kitahara Hideji on the head with a fan across the table. Kitahara Hideji watched the fan coming over without moving because it was not needed. Yukili reached behind him like lightning and grabbed the fan, and said angrily:
"Don't bully Xiuji!"
She doesn't like this old man!
Yamane Naonaka was slashing with the fan just now, and it was a sneak attack. Although he just wanted to hit Kitahara Shuji's head without using all his strength, he didn't expect that someone would catch the fan in his hand. He whipped it but didn't pull it back.
, suddenly became even angrier, and shouted: "Let me go, how did Fuze teach you, do you have no respect for your elders?"
Xueli was stunned for a moment and wanted to let go, but Fuyumi was also angry and ordered from the side: "Xueli, bring me the fan."
Who is this? We are treating you as a guest, and you want to hit the host. Are you crazy?
Fuyumi's words were most useful to Xueli. Xueli grabbed the fan without hesitation and turned around and handed it to Fuyumi: "Sister, here you go."
Yamane Naonaka has also been practicing swordsmanship all his life, but he couldn't catch Yukiri. If he hadn't let go in time, he was almost dragged to the table by Yukiri. However, Yamane Mokichi quickly helped him and said repeatedly: "Uncle
, don’t get angry, don’t get angry, say it well if you have something to say, say it well if you have something to say..."
Yamane Naozhong was forced to sit back, but his expression was still ugly. After calming down, he said slowly: "Naolong is gone, and I have the responsibility to discipline his disciples and children to follow the right path. Do you think I don't?"
Qualifications? When I came in and out of this dojo, you were not even born yet, show me the attitude of a junior!"
He ended up shouting angrily. He felt that he really came with good intentions, just giving money to Kitahara Hideji. Unexpectedly, he was not hurting Kitahara Hideji by receiving such treatment, but was just showing him the way.
Yamane Mokichi was afraid that the conflict would escalate, so he quickly joined in with a smile and said: "You are still young, and my uncle is also worried that you will be deceived by others. It is for your own good... My uncle has good intentions, so don't take it offence."
Yamane Naozaka nodded slightly: "Yes, I am doing it for your own good, and you should also know something! Even your master would not dare to be so rude when he sees me!"
He was the eldest disciple of Fukuzawa Naotaka's generation, but he was not qualified to inherit the Fukuzawa family's dojo. After getting the permission seal, he returned to his hometown. He felt that it was reasonable, and he beat and scolded Fukuzawa Naotaka's juniors several times.
There is no problem at all. How can you not respect your elders? In his own dojo, a disciple of Hideji Kitahara's size really beat him casually.
He knew that Kitahara Shuji had won the Jade Dragon Flag, but so what? It was the same competition as playing in high school, and they were not people in the professional circle at all. I am afraid that not many of these little guys have reached the rank of Dan, at most second or first level.
level.
He didn't think the Jade Dragon Flag was very important, and it wasn't like he took the Sword Master, so he didn't take Hideji Kitahara seriously at all. Instead, he felt that he was taking care of Hideji Kitahara with great benefits.
He spoke righteously, but Kitahara Shuji was speechless. Where were you when Naotaka Fukuzawa was unconscious? Why don't you run out for us now?
He originally wanted to treat the guests well and then send them away well, but what kind of thing came here? The forest is really big and there are all kinds of birds. It sounds like they haven’t seen each other for more than 20 years, and they have come all the way.
Are you here to pretend to be an elder? Is this a disease?
He smiled directly and said: "Old Mr. Yamane, first of all, I am not a disciple of Mr. Fukuzawa. Secondly, we can decide our own affairs without outsiders' intervention. If you want to make the decision, I guess you also have disciples and children, so you can go
We can’t bear this good thing for their sake, so you can keep it for yourself!”
Then he turned to Yamane Mokichi and said, "Mr. Yamane, you've finished your tea. Do you think it's time for you to leave?"
He didn't want to entertain these two people anymore and started chasing away the guests directly.
