Led by a beautiful half-race secretary, Godot walks into the office of Leco, the head of football at the club of São Paulo.
Then sit down slightly on a leather-covered mahogany sofa. The sofa and backrest were soft, but Godot sat up straight and careful.
He knew the value of the sofa.
Because where it is not wrapped in leather, what is exposed is the skeleton of Brazilian mahogany.
Brazilwood is an extremely valuable wood that is now endangered in Brazil, a country that once grew abundantly.
This is a high-quality furniture material and an excellent material for making violin bows.
In today's Brazil, it is rare to see furniture made of Brazilian mahogany.
But in this office, it's not just the sofa, it's the coffee table, the desk, the bookcase, and even the ...... in front of you The floors are made of Brazilian mahogany!
The whole office exudes an air of luxury.
Such a tall décor is quite in line with the temperament of the São Paulo club.
São Paulo FC is different from other teams in the city, and many of them are wealthy middle-class or wealthy people.
Just like Kaka's father, they don't need to worry about money, they don't lack money.
The beautiful secretary asked softly, "What do you drink, sir?" ”
Godot replied in a somewhat tense voice: "A cup of black coffee, with more sugar, thank you." ”
The secretary gave Godot a charming smile and walked out of the pussy with her plump ass twisted.
Godot did show some nervousness.
After all, this is the first time he has come to such an environment to negotiate a contract with someone. And he was talking about a contract that was very important to him.
São Paulo is a member of the "Thirteen Club" that is enough to cover the sky in Brazil, and it is a well-known giant in Brazil.
Never before had Godot been able to go straight to the heart of the Thirteen Club and negotiate a contract with their hierarchy.
He is not a successful agent, having been in the industry for 12 years, and has no more than 15 players at most, and none of the more than 10 players have made it to the top 13 of Brazil's top 13 clubs.
Most of the players play in the lower leagues, and as an agent, he is unknown in Brazilian football. He's not an agent like Juan Figer.
He scoured the search for seemingly gifted kids, then signed agent contracts with them, putting the ownership of the players under his control. And then send those kids to the echelons of professional clubs, or football schools.
When they kick out, they can take the opportunity to make money.
However, he has always had problems with his vision of people before, and he has never found any players with real potential......
Glory is the most talented player he has found, and it is also the biggest reliance on his ability to soar.
Glory didn't disappoint him either, and if it weren't for it, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to walk into this luxurious office in his life.
Now he has to talk to Sao Paulo about improving the Honourable contract.
Although he has not dealt with the top management of Sao Paulo, he does know that any club is the same, and when it comes to contracts, they will focus on their own interests rather than the players'.
This requires oneself to strive for more benefits for Rongguang, and the meaning of the existence of the broker is the same.

São Paulo's football director Leko came out from behind the table, having first seen Godot as the youth team training director, when Godot came to the tryout with glory.
He also remembered Godot and Glory's near-idiot behavior......
At the time, he almost thought that these two men were circus clowns.
If it weren't for Mauro's insistence, he would never have signed Glory.
But just like that, after the trial, he also turned his face and forgot about the glory.
Who would have thought that now this glory would be the name he has heard the most recently!
The Chinese kid he didn't care about at the beginning has now become a hot new star in the whole of São Paulo......
He had to sigh that the world was changing too fast.
Because of the potential shown by Glory, his attitude towards Godot this time was much better.
He knew very well that the ownership of Glory belonged to Godot, as was the practice of 99 percent of Brazilian brokers—they scout poor boys who were very talented, and then contract with them to provide them with food, shelter, training, and help them find work, but their ownership belonged to the brokers. As long as one of the seedlings grows, the return far outweighs the investment, as the jargon goes, "to find a good player is to find a gold mine".
When an agent is in full control of a talented player, the club's top management has to be polite to the agent.
He maintained the necessary courtesy to Godot.
He reached out and shook Godot's hand.
After exchanging pleasantries, Godot made clear his intention of coming to Lecco.
He carefully chose his words and tone, and his attitude was still somewhat humble.
Who called him a failed agent before, and he didn't have the confidence and qualifications to compete with the "Thirteen Club"?
After listening to Godot's words, Leco smiled, "Actually, I don't need you to come to me, I will contact you in the near future, Mr. Godot." The club are considering offering Rong a new professional contract. ”
With Rongguang's current performance, it is really unreasonable to still hold the lowest grade of youth contracts.
"This is our newly prepared contract, you can take a look at it first."
Godot took the contract, lowered his head and began to look seriously.
He hadn't turned many pages, though, before he looked up in surprise and looked at Lecco.
"Ten years of the contract?"
"Any questions?" Leko asked rhetorically with a smile.
Looking at Leco's polite smile, Godot's previous nervousness and caution suddenly disappeared.
The anger of being slighted gradually emerged.
In the past, he was able to endure any insults and contempt he faced.
Because he doesn't have the confidence to fight with the other party.
But this time, he couldn't bear it.
Endure it, and his future and Glory's future will be over. The initiative is all in the hands of the other side.
Ten years contract, this is absolutely unreasonable!
"It's a big problem, Mr. Leco." When Godot spoke again, his throat was no longer as tight as before, and it was much smoother and more natural. Glory gave him confidence, and he firmly believed that with such a talent as Glory, their future would not be bad.
"The ten-year contract period is absolutely impossible for Rong and I to accept." He said this without hesitation and categorically.
"But we think it's a very reasonable number of years. Rong was only sixteen years old, and ten years later he was only twenty-six years old. And we all know that it is impossible for him to stay in São Paulo for ten years. The contract is nothing more than peace of mind for both parties – Sao Paulo doesn't want to leave the club without a penny. ”
Leco said with a smile still on his face.
However, the rhetoric makes no secret of the importance of the club's interests.
It's also the momentum of a big club – we don't hide what we need to earn from you.
Godot shook his head firmly: "No, we can't accept a ten-year contract that is too long." ”
Rongguang only said a few days ago that he wanted to go to Europe, even if it wasn't so early, it would be three or four years old. Rongguang is now sixteen years old, and in three or four years he is nineteen or twenty, and it is just right to go to Europe.
If you sign a ten-year contract with Sao Paulo, you're going to be a...... For ten years, São Paulo will be in control of the life and death of the glory. As long as the São Paulo club is unwilling to let go, the glory will not go anywhere.
Although he doesn't think that Rongguang can really stay in São Paulo for ten years, it is always uncomfortable to be bound by such a contract.
What if a European team takes a fancy to the glory at that time, but Sao Paulo uses the transfer fee as an excuse to get stuck and not let go?
As an economic man, he must minimize this risk.
Seeing Godot's resolute attitude, Leco actually didn't expect the other party to really accept the ten-year contract term - as long as the other party's agent was not stupid, he would not accept it.
"Well, how about eight years? Rong is just a beginner now, and he will stay in the team for eight years to learn and improve himself, and he will only be twenty-four years old when his contract expires......"
Godot interrupted Leco, "We can accept a maximum of four years on the contract, Mr. Leco. ”
Hearing this number, Lecco chuckled, very disdainful, as if in front of him, Godot, the agent, was not qualified to negotiate such conditions with him.
Four years?
Four years later, Rong Guang was twenty years old, which was the best period, and then let him run away?
Don't even think about it!
"It's impossible, Mr. Godot. I think you should think about the conditions offered by the club and give me a call when you've thought about it. ”
With that, he reached out to shake Godot's hand.
It's time to send off guests.
Despite his potential and first-team managers, Leko is also reluctant to invest too much in Godot and must let the opposition know whose turf it is once he exceeds the limit.
Glory is gifted, but so what?
In Brazil, there is no shortage of talent.
He won't waste too much time and energy for a Chinese.
Godot is not Juan Figer, the godfather of Brazilian football, and it will be Leco's turn to kneel and lick the other man's boots.
Godot didn't think that a single negotiation would be done, so he simply got up and took his leave.
When he walked to the door, he almost bumped into the secretary who brought the coffee.
It was time to make a cup of coffee, and that was the end of their first negotiation.
After leaving the club, Godot remembered Leco's chuckle.
The meaning of disdain is obvious, people don't actually value glory in their hearts.
Even though Glory has played well in three games, Grayson's opinion must still be influential......
※※※
Godot didn't tell Glory about the outcome of the negotiations, he didn't even tell Glory that he was in talks with the club to improve his contract – now he just needs Glory to focus on training and playing.
Glory's performance on the court is the biggest guarantee for his Godot and Leco's wrist wrestling.
Glory was indeed completely unaware that Gordo was working hard for him to increase his income.
He is still training hard every day, especially after training, he will continue to practice himself, from juggling the ball to passing and receiving the ball to the shooting he recently learned, everything he has learned has to be practiced again to deepen his memory.
In the evening, he continued to practice shooting with Godot on the rooftop.
In this way, Rongguang ushered in the fourth official match of his career.
The day before the game, head coach Osvaldo Oliveira announced the starting line-up, and Rong Guang's name was prominently listed.
He got three starts in a row.
It's completely different from the first start, and no one questions whether Glory should start.
※※※
San Caetano's head coach Jair Piccherny, who is leading his team to the worst day of conditioning at home, talks to his assistant coach.
"Confirmed to start?" He asked.
The assistant coach nodded: "Starter, substitute for Kaka, Rong starter." ”
Piccherny breathed a sigh of relief and a relaxed smile appeared on his face: "That's good, that's good." I'm also worried that Osvaldo will suddenly decide to start Kaka, who has returned from injury...... This is really good news. That way, our chances of winning this game are much higher! ”
