Chapter 349 Blank Check
Canary Wharf is located in the U-shaped turn of the Thames River in London, an important financial and shopping area.
It is not large in size, but it is full of tall buildings. It is a highly dense international financial center, gathering hundreds of internationally renowned banks and financial institutions, and is also a very famous commercial shopping center gathering area in London.
Whenever we go to and from get off work, the narrow streets of Canary Wharf are everywhere in business elites in suits and ties, and each one is an outstanding talent from all over the world.
This further confirms the name of the dock, Canary.
With the improvement of the style of the dock, the traditional ship operation industry has also been upgraded. Canary Wharf has gradually transformed into the largest high-end yacht stop in London. Private custom luxury yachts that are rare in other places can be seen everywhere here. Many people even know the top luxury yachts docked on the shore of the dock and their owners.
Recently, another luxury yacht came to Canary Wharf, which attracted everyone's attention as soon as it settled in.
Because it is the largest and most luxurious.
White, three-story high, up to fifty-seven meters long.
Soon, the ubiquitous British media dug its owner out of the yacht.
The Olympics was carefully built by a well-known Dutch shipyard, costing more than 30 million euros, and owned by Russian wealthy Abramovich.
This soon caused quite a response at Canary Wharf and even the entire London.
What did the Russian drive his luxury yacht in London?
Show off?
The answer was quickly revealed.
The British media, which has the most professional and elite paparazzi in the world, will soon reveal the truth. Abramovich will acquire the Premier League team in London, Chelsea!
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar throughout the UK.
In a very short period of time, Abramovich's reputation in the UK and even Europe has risen rapidly, not even lost to Russian President Putin.
With Abramovich's popularity, his every move in the UK has attracted the attention of all media.
Where did he buy a house, how much did he spend, what neighbors did he have, and hired a few bodyguards...
The British paparazzi once again proved their world-class strength.
Soon, well-informed paparazzi once again caught a sensitive message.
The famous Portuguese agent, Jorge Mendes, flew from Madrid to London.
The abnormal thing is that Abramovich's exclusive driver went to the airport to pick up people, and after receiving the person, he was sent directly to the Olympics at Canary Wharf.
When the first reporter who came to the Canary Wharf chased him, he was turned away by Kong Wu's powerful bodyguard without even taking a picture of Jorge Mendes's back.
But this dedicated paparazzi decided to continue to squat on the shore and wait for Jorge Mendez to get off the ship.
But unexpectedly, the yacht drove away!
This made the reporters on the dock wail. It was so unkind!
It's just a monkey!
…………
…………
"Haha, those reporters are probably going crazy!"
Looking at the group of reporters on the shore from afar, Jorge Mendez couldn't help laughing.
As an agent, his relationship with media reporters has always been in cooperation with each other. Have you ever been so troubled by reporters?
But I have to say that it is really satisfying.
"The British media is very developed and the competition is very fierce. Therefore, even if they know that we have been fooled this time, there is nothing they can do. When there is news next time, they will continue to pounce on it, and at most they will curse a few complaints."
Kesh Harris seems to be very familiar with the nature of British media reporters.
These days, I’ve seen popularity, and even if I get scolded, it is an effective means of publicity.
"Jorge, I'll introduce you." Kesh Harris pointed to a Slavic middle-aged man next to him. "This is Israeli agent, Pini Zahavi, and Roman's friend. This time he acquired Chelsea, he made great efforts."
"Hello, Pini." Jorge Mendes immediately shook hands with Pini Zahavi, "I have heard of you, but I have never had the chance to know you. You are very capable in the Premier League."
"Where, where, you are powerful, I heard that the entire Iberian Peninsula is now yours."
"It's not that exaggerated." Jorge Mendes smiled modestly.
He is indeed the most powerful agent on the Iberian Peninsula, but it is absolutely exaggerated to say that they are all his people.
At least Jose Vega did not fall, and there are many powerful agents in Spain.
While speaking, the yacht entered the Thames, and Abramovich walked out of the cabin at this time.
After meeting, the four of them politely greeted each other and sat down on the top of the boat.
For Abramovich, Mendes met him at Kesh Harris's cocktail party before, and was deeply impressed because the Russians had a strong aura, even though he had been deliberately hiding it.
This is a momentum of superiors formed by long-term tempering of the environment and will unknowingly exude the momentum of superiors.
"Jorge, I'm going to tell you, I bought Chelsea this time just to do a big game. I'm optimistic about the Premier League. In the next few years, it will definitely be the best asset in the world, so I hope we can cooperate more."
Abramovich was straightforward, very straightforward and straightforward.
"Of course." Jorge Mendes would not refuse this kind of show of kindness that came to his door. "I just say that, I dare not say anything else, but I have channels to operate in the Iberian Peninsula and South America, any player you like."
After a pause, Mendes smiled confidently again and said, "Even, if you can trust me, then you can make your request and I will be responsible for recommending players. I believe that our reputation in this regard should be quite good."
Kesh Harris and Pini Zahavi looked at each other and saw the admiration in each other's eyes.
No wonder this guy has risen rapidly in just two or three years. If that's the case, I'm afraid few agents dare to say it.
You should know that European professional football is an industry, and competition is fierce, and the relationships and interests in all aspects are complex. Without strong relationships and the ability to be well-known, he dared not make such a promise.
As for yourself, as an experienced Premier League agent, Pini Zahavi doesn't have this ability.
"Okay, it's refreshing!" Abramovich laughed, obviously very satisfied with this reply.
"Don't worry, Jorge, I will never treat my partners unfairly."
Mendes nodded with a smile. Of course, he also knew Abramovich.
"I heard that Gao Han is also yours?" Abramovich asked tentatively.
Mendes looked no more surprised, as if he had already received the news, nodded and said, "Yes."
"I don't know which club he didn't sign after leaving Atletico Madrid?"
Mendes shook his head, "Not yet, he has been on vacation."
"It's time to have a good rest." Abramovich was very satisfied with the answer.
"To be honest, Jorge, the reason why I decided to acquire Chelsea was because I watched Manchester United's game against Atletico Madrid on the spot, which left me with a deep impression. Later, I watched several Atletico Madrid games, including the derby and the Champions League final."
Abramovich looked at Mendes deeply, "To be honest, I really appreciate Gao Han's coaching ability. I don't know if he would like to come to us Chelsea?"
Mendes is no longer the unfamous little agent two or three years ago. In the past two or three years, he has been able to make a fortune in professional football, so he has naturally developed extraordinary skills.
Under the gaze of everyone, he replied with a smile: "I have to ask for his opinion. You know, although I am his agent, at his level, I have my own principles that I adhere to and do not need to listen to my opinions at all. However, I can guarantee that he will not refuse to cooperate with anyone."
Kesh Harris and Pini Zahavi looked at each other again, and both were liked.
This shrewd guy speaks so well. He doesn't even say anything but praise Gao Han, but he still deals with it without any leakage.
"I know, but I am also very sincere. You might as well talk about it first." Abramovich smiled.
"First of all, Gao Han coaches the team and does not want to be interfered with, so he must have the power of life and death in the first team, including rewards and punishments and transfers." Mendes was also observing Abramovich when he spoke. When he said this, he paused for a moment before further explaining.
"I believe that Mr. Abramovich runs such a large consortium and can definitely understand that it is impossible to manage a whole team without power. Moreover, Gao Han has his own set of tactical concepts, and he wants to operate transfers and sign ups according to his own ideas."
"I believe I don't need to say much about Gao Han's coaching level and management ability, but everyone knows that he is young and if he wants to manage the locker room well, he must be in awe of the players, especially some old players in the locker room."
Abramovich nodded and said, "It's right, it's reasonable."
But at this time, Pini Zahavi next to him suddenly interrupted and added, "Jorge, according to convention, the signing should be negotiated by the club management and coaching team to avoid mistakes. Although Gao Han is the head coach, he will decide on the transfer signing. This is probably not appropriate. If the signing mistake is made, then..."
Before Pini Zahavi finished speaking, Mendes asked with a smile, "Pini, have Gao Han made a mistake in signing?"
The Israeli broker was speechless.
Isn't it?
Gao Han is the most talked about in Atletico Madrid. In addition to his achievements, he is an excellent signing.
In fact, Pini Zahavi mentioned this, but he had his own selfish intentions, because he was also an agent and went through hardships to bring Abramovich into the Premier League. Naturally, he also hoped to get a share of the money owner.
But if Gao Han has full control over the transfer, the biggest beneficiary is Jorge Mendes, and what's wrong with him, Pini Zahavi?
But now Mendes asked this, he really had no way to refute it, and could only be indignant in secret.
On the contrary, Kesh Harris took the initiative to stand up and smooth things over. "I think this is not a problem. The Premier League has always had a tradition of head coaches operating transfers. As long as the management also arranges people to assist from the side, let's talk about the specific transfer operation and negotiations, the management department must also be responsible for it."
Abramovich felt relieved when he heard this.
Although he is rich, he is not brainless, so he naturally understands Pini Zahavi's worries.
But when Kesh Harris said this, it proved that there must be a countermeasure, and he didn't need to worry about it.
"Okay, Jorge, I heard what you have made and can accept it."
As he said that, Abramovich took out a checkbook from his pocket, took out a precious pen, signed his name on it, tore it off, and then pushed the blank check in front of Mendes.
