"Harry, we've been working together for years. It was a great time to work together back then, wasn't it? ”

Kenyon was helpless. Van Hanyi was not a tough man in Kenyon's mind, otherwise Arneson would not have been arrogant in Eindhoven for ten years. The Eindhoven chairman at the time was also Van Hanyi, but he never interfered with Arnesen's work.

So much so that in the past ten years, everyone would say Arneson when they talked about Eindhoven, and no one would ever say Van Hanyi. At that time, Arneson was in charge of Eindhoven, and everything was decided by him. But Van Hanyi didn't feel anything wrong at all, he was as if he didn't exist. It wasn't until Arneson had left that Van Hanyi slowly stepped to the front. But I didn't expect Van Hanyi to be so stubborn, biting 30 million pounds and not letting go.

After the meeting, it didn't work, so I invited Lister. After Rist and Van Haven met, Kenyon renegotiated with Van Haven. Van Hanyi was very happy to cut the price this time, but the price reduction was too small. Because after Van Hanyi dropped to 27 million pounds, he bit on the bite again. Kenyon is very helpless, Van Hany, you are about to retire, why are you so serious?

"Yes. Transfers from Stam and Ruud van Nistelrooy are both enjoyable. I was also very happy with Robben's transfer some time ago. ”

Van Hanyi nodded, agreeing with Kenyon. PSV Eindhoven and Kenyon have worked together for many years and have had a number of heavyweight transfers. Even when it was about Arjen Robben moving to Chelsea, it was very well discussed.

"Harry, in that case, let's open the window and speak brightly. Just tell me the truth. What exactly do you mean? ”

Kenyon was already tired. I really didn't expect Van Hanyi to be so stubborn, and after 30 million pounds were mixed up with Lister, it only dropped by 3 million pounds.

Kenyon was in a hurry, really in a hurry. Mourinho's first proposed player didn't get it, and where did he put his face. But Van Hanyi was not in a hurry at all, Van Hanyi looked at Kenyon and said unhurriedly: "Peter, you Chelsea are rich, and they are not ordinary rich." Duff 17 million pounds, Crespo 18 million pounds, Mutu 16 million pounds, look at these big deals. ”

'Didier is a 26-year-old player in his prime. He was the top scorer in the Eredivisie last season. He was also the best striker in the Champions League last season. Even compared to Ruud back then. Vanney isn't bad either. Chelsea are always richer than Manchester United. Isn't it normal for me to ask for more transfer fees? ”

Looking at the eloquent Van Haveny, Kenyon really couldn't laugh or cry. Fan Hanyi, an old immortal, doesn't blush when he says such things, it's really shameless. Because Van Hanyi means very simply, Drogba is a striker who can rival Ruud van Nistelrooy. At the beginning, Ruud van Nistelrooy's transfer fee was more than 20 million pounds. Drogba should also sell for that price. Plus you Chelsea have money. It's okay to pay a little more.

"Harry. You let me think about it. ”

After walking out of Van Hanyi's office, Kenyon couldn't help but let out a "puff". After thinking for a moment, Kenyon pulled out the phone. Called Lister: "Lister, Eindhoven's asking price is too high. ”

"Peter, I can't help it. I talked to Harry and tried to convince him as best I could. But you Chelsea are now one of the few big players in European football, and any hair you pluck is thicker than the waist of an ordinary club, and Harry also wants to make some money. Eindhoven makes money on this, you know. By the way, how much does he cost? ”

"Twenty-seven million pounds, he bites his tongue and won't let go."

Kenyon had some frustration. What I am best at is not negotiating player transfers, but in terms of commercial promotion. But since arriving at Chelsea, he has been busy with player transfers.

Chelsea's reputation is so great that everyone wants to take a bite. Kenyon suddenly thought of an agent like Lister. If Abramovich had not handed over the transfer to Kenyon, but had let an agent predator like Rist help with it, the transfer fee would have been much lower. It's a pity Pinny. Zahavi is not usually involved in these transfer negotiations.

And Rist was happy on the other end of the phone, not ordinary happy. Van Hanyi is good, the so-called black shop sometimes needs to be tough at the top.

"Peter, let's be honest. Chelsea came out of nowhere, unless Chelsea can have three or four years of precipitation, otherwise you will continue to suffer in the transfer market in the past two years, there is no way. Any club wants to take a bite out of you. ”

"I see."

After putting down the phone, Kenyon shook his head. Kenyon didn't believe Rist's words, as long as Rist was really willing to help Chelsea, then there would be a way. PSV Eindhoven are not going to bother with Riester for those millions of pounds. No, Lister and Fan Hanyi cooperated, and the selling price was high, and it might be beneficial for Lister to be good.

Kenyon actually had a good idea. Drogba sells for a high price, and Rist has a share. Rist likes this model very much, and when selling to a club its own good players, Rist often sets such clauses. In the future, if you can sell more than a lot of money, Rist's agent will also have a share.

…………

The tussle between Kenyon and PSV Eindhoven continues, while Rist prepares to watch the European Championships. However, before we have started watching the game, Chelsea have already announced two transfers.

Czech goalkeeper Peter Petr Petr Brown at Tottenham last season. Petr Cech, who moved to Chelsea for £14 million. That's the price of 20 million euros. For a goalkeeper, the price of 20 million euros is already very impressive. In history, it is a top goalkeeper like Buffon, and it was when there was some bubble in the Serie A transfer market that such a high transfer fee came out.

The announcement of this transfer made many people unable not to be shocked. After all, that's 20 million euros to buy a goalkeeper. Only an upstart like Chelsea has such a skill. Are Chelsea going to spend £100 million on players again?

Rist was very fond of Cech's move because his salary doubled since his move to Chelsea. And in order to bring in Cech, Rist also received nearly two million pounds from Chelsea. Of course, this was because Cech was invited by a number of clubs at the time. Lister chose Chelsea, and Chelsea, of course, offered him a generous commission.

Chelsea's transfer moves have been fast, having just bought Petr Cech for £14 million and a new transfer two days later. Chelsea brought in European Golden Boy '03 winners Aljan from PSV Eindhoven for £12 million. Robben. Less than a week into Jose Mourinho's ownership, Chelsea have already spent £26 million on two players. Petr Cech is the best goalkeeper in the Premier League and Arjen Robben is one of the few talented players in the Netherlands at the moment.

But it's okay, everyone is just shocked, and then do whatever they have to do. Because Chelsea have money, that's what everybody knows. Last year it cost 110 million pounds, and another 20 million pounds is a small idea. But just when everyone's attention was on the European Championship, which was about to start. A transfer shocked the entire European football world.

10 June 2004. Just two days before the start of the European Championships, Chelsea Football Club announced the purchase of their main striker Didier from PSV Eindhoven. Drogba. Of course, the purchase of Drogba is not very surprising, after all, Drogba performed well last season and there are not one or two clubs interested in him. But the transfer fee was announced. It's stunning.

Twenty-six million pounds. Converted into euros, that's 40 million euros. Since the European football transfer market started to slump. Especially after the downturn in the transfer market in Italy, it is difficult for European football to make such a big move. If we put it around the 21st century, there are not a few such strokes. But by '04, it was definitely a big deal.

"Chelsea is crazy!"

This was the first time that many English newspapers wrote about it. The transfer market in European football is sluggish, and even superstar-level stars are now very few who can exceed 40 million euros. Of course, the English newspapers are more unaccustomed to the appearance of Chelsea as an upstart. But newspapers in other countries are envious, very envious of the Premier League. Because only the Premier League can have such a big deal.

"Chelsea are rich."

After Merkley heard about Drogba's transfer, he couldn't help but burst into foul language. If the Czech Football Association also had money, even if it was not as good as Abramovich, only a fraction of his fortune, it would be much easier.

"He is a Russian oil tycoon with a net worth of more than 10 billion. You and I can't compare. ”

"I can't compare."

Merkley nodded, but then said: "But you don't have to, you don't have to be another billionaire in the Czech Republic in another ten years." ”

"Haha."

Rist couldn't help but smile, and then said to Merkley: "Barwell, you are exalting me too much. I? Billionaires? You believe it, I don't believe it. ”

Rist is also considered a rich man now. If you add up the shares, real estate, and cash of the company, Rister now has assets of nearly 400 million euros. Coupled with so many players under Lister's team, these are Lister's assets. If Rist's agency can go public, it won't be a big problem for Rist to be worth more than a billion euros now.

But to say that he can become a billionaire, Lister himself will not believe it. At the level of 10 billion euros, it is not a small rich person in the whole of Europe, it is completely a real rich class.

"You have to believe in yourself, I believe in you anyway. By the way, you've been here for the past two days, how did their transfer get done? ”

Merkley knew that Drogba was a player for Lister, but Lister had been following Merkley for the past two days. After all, it's almost the European Cup, and Rist is also a Czech agent no matter what. It's a normal thing to be with the Czech national team.

'Chelsea and PSV Eindhoven have talked about the same, and I've already negotiated Drogba's contract with Chelsea.

Rist was very proud in his heart. In Drogba's body, Riester can be regarded as making a lot of money. Drogba transferred 26 million pounds, and Rist received nearly 4 million pounds from PSV Eindhoven's transfer share. And he moved to Chelsea, from which Lister received another £3.2 million in commissions.

Of course, Rist also asked Drogba for a very good salary. £2,000,000 signing and £72,000 a week. Rist earned more than 10 million euros in this transfer.

Rist's current income is beyond the reach of many European football agents. The transfer market has only just begun, and Rist already has more than 20 million euros in revenue. Among the transfers of Villa, Rosicky, Drogba and Cech, Rist squeezed out 20 million euros. These are just the revenues generated from Lister's transfer.

Rister receives tens of millions of euros a year from his players' salaries. In addition, the share of their business income is more than 20 million euros. Although it is impossible for all this money to go into Rist's pocket, it is normal for Rist to earn 40 million euros a year.

And for Lister, the income is not yet at the top. When stars like Messi and Ribery become famous in the future, Rist's annual income should exceed 50 or 60 million euros, or even higher.

"Yes. Lister, the Newest has been so praised lately that I went to watch him play. ”

Merkley is the president of the Czech Football Federation and is most concerned about the development of Czech football. So he suddenly mentioned one of the most talked-about new stars in the Czech Republic at the moment.

Thomas. Nesyd, who is only fifteen years old this year, is already the "new Kohler" of Czech football. This guy is already 1.88 meters tall at the age of fifteen, standing out among his peers. Necide has the qualities and conditions of a centre-forward, with a well-coordinated and strong body, relatively average but adequate speed, a great threat to the goal with both the ball with his back and his head-on shots, and a balanced left and right foot.

Fifteen-year-old Thomas. Nesyd is now far more talented than Jankoller was back then. Nesid Jishu is better than Jankoller, faster than Jankoller, and no worse than Jankoller in shooting at his feet. If there is no such thing as Jankoller, it is that his header still needs to be worked. But even so, Czech football is surprised enough.

He was born in Prague and is currently training at the Academy. Even Merkley knows where he is, and Lister, the future agent, is even more concerned about the big man. Rist cares about him very much, and hopes to slowly train Zuihou to replace Yankoller.

"It's also an achievement of the youth training base. But he's not enough, we need more talent. I hope that in ten years' time, our young Czech talents will blow out. ”

In fact, the youth training base in the Czech Republic has only started for four years, and the hardware facilities have just been completed this year. There is still a lot to be done in terms of software, and there are not too many talented players yet. Without eight or nine years of development, it is impossible to see the results of this kind of youth training.

"I hope so, too." (To be continued......)
