Latest website: "This contract has been re-signed, and the biggest thing in Manchester is over. Do you want to spend a few days in Europe or go home?"
In the hotel room, Sui Xin asked Luo Kai.
They came to Manchester this time not just to visit the Red Top Stadium, they have a business.
The business is to renew the contract with Tramed.
Although there are still three years before the contract expires, with Luo Kai's outstanding performance in Veronica, both parties are willing to re-sign a contract.
Luo Kai's outstanding performance in the Dutch second league has attracted the interest of other teams.
Tramed naturally does not want his players to be poached by other teams.
At the same time, in order to express to Luo Kai the importance and confidence of the club, it is natural to use a new contract to stabilize Luo Kai's heart. Luo Kai used his actual performance to prove that he deserves to be treated this way by the club.
The agent Sui Xin believes that the original contract no longer matches the current Luo Kai in terms of treatment and various conditions. It is necessary to re-sign the contract.
The two sides hit it off and started negotiations for a contract renewal before the Dutch second league was over.
After more than a month of back and forth negotiations, a consensus was finally reached.
They came back this time to sign the contract.
Now that the signing is finished, it is naturally fine, so Sui Xin asked Luo Kai what arrangements he has next.
It stands to reason that Luo Kai's European season is over. There is no World Cup or Asian Cup this summer. As a professional player, Luo Kai will also usher in a rare long vacation.
It’s normal to play anywhere.
But Luo Kai gave a different answer: "Uncle Sui, can you help me book the tickets for the Europa League final?"
Sui Xin was a little surprised: "Europa League? Do you want to watch the Europa League?"
"Well, I want to go and see." Luo Kai nodded.
"Go see... Hu Lai?" Sui Xin asked uncertainly.
"Go watch his game." Luo Kai said generously.
"Okay." Sui Xin glanced at Luo Kai, nodded and agreed.
He also didn't ask Luo Kai why he was going to watch Hu Lai's game suddenly. It stands to reason that his relationship with Hu Lai was not so good. But since Luo Kai wants to see it, there must be his reason.
As his agent, it would be too incompetent if such trivial matters were not enough.

"Guys! See who this is?!"
In the "White Rose" bar, when the Leeds City fans gathered for a lively discussion, John Falkingham walked in with a man.
Everyone followed the prestige, and soon someone exclaimed: "Neil Mullin?!"
The person John brought in was the lucky truck driver Neil Mullin who became a millionaire because he bought two lottery tickets.
Because of this incident, he became a celebrity among Leeds City fans.
"Hi, everybody."
Neil Mullin raised his hand and greeted everyone generously.
"I heard about your plan. I am very interested and want to get involved."
John explained further:
After we posted the idea of forming a team to go to Paris to watch the game, Neil saw it and he was willing to be our driver.
David Miller got up and walked over to Mullin: "That's great! With your joining, the appeal will be greater. We can definitely form a mighty convoy from Leeds to Paris!"
It turned out that David Miller and his "White Rose" partners had an idea on how to participate in Leeds’s first European war final in a meaningful way.
The UEFA Europa League final is definitely not possible at home or watching live TV in a bar. Instead, you have to go to the scene and cheer for your team in the stands of the World Cup Stadium in Paris. This can be regarded as a real Leeds City fan. What should be done.
But how to get to the Paris World Cup Stadium?
Do you get on a plane from Leeds to Paris as you would usually go to see an away game?
They think this is a bit too common, and it does not reflect the importance of this game.
In the end, David Miller’s son, Matthew Jr. came up with an idea-why can’t he drive to Paris to watch a game? Instead of driving your own car, but driving a bus, you can also print the Leeds City team logo and the slogan they want to cheer for the team on the body.
When the bus appears on the streets of Paris, can't it show the existence of Leeds?
In this way, those media who report and broadcast the Europa League final from all over the world can see them.
After this idea was put forward, it quickly got everyone's approval.
At the same time, they also upgraded the idea on this basis:
More than just one or two buses, they hope to organize more buses and form a convoy to drive from Leeds to Paris.
After all, the team is more eye-catching than a car.
However, it is not easy to implement this plan.
On the one hand, it is not easy to find enough buses, and on the other hand, it is not easy to call on enough Leeds City fans to accept their plan of going to the away game.
After all, going to Paris by bus is more frustrating, time-consuming and costly than going by plane.
So John and the others sent this idea to the online community of Leeds fans, hoping to gather enough fans and grow their momentum.
And Neil Mullin was attracted to him like this.
The addition of this "legendary fan" is a great help to "White Rose" and their plan.
With his endorsement, I believe that the action of convening the fans and looking for the bus will be smoother.
After all, Neil Mullin's famous name has been spread in the Leeds City fan circle.
Countless people talked about it over and over again that he spent 400 pounds last season to buy Leeds City to win the championship and Hu Lai to win the Premier League golden boots, and finally brought him more than one million pounds in return.
His appearance made the fans in the "White Rose" bar extremely excited, and they raised a glass of wine and a toast to Mullin.
After drinking the beer in the glass, Levin asked curiously: "Hey, Neil. I really want to ask you a question...Of course, if you don't want to answer, you can also leave it alone..."
Mullin smiled and nodded: "It's okay, you can ask."
"I just wanted to ask, did you place a bet before the start of this season?"
The bar calmed down, and everyone turned to look at Mullin.
The latter nodded and said: "Of course. I still bought Leeds City to win the championship and Hu to win the Golden Boot. Oh, I also bought Leeds City to win the Champions League..."
"Ah..." There was a sigh in the bar.
Everyone knows that Leeds has neither won the Premier League nor the Champions League this season, and Hu Lai failed to defend the Premier League Golden Boot...
"Gambling is like this, there are winners and losers." Mullin himself is very open. "I'm just to support Leeds City, and I don't expect to make much money from this."
If it were personally, like John or Levin, then everyone in the room would think they were pretending.
But if Mullin said this "legendary fan", no one would think he was pretending.
After all, when Leeds City lost five thousand to win the title, how many people dared to bet two hundred pounds? That is destined to be ridiculed.
Mullin said in an interview more than once that the reason why he bet was not that Leeds could win the championship, but simply wanted to express his support for the team in this way.
"Or two hundred pounds each?" someone in the crowd asked loudly.
"Well, two hundred of each."
Mullin said that it was an understatement that six hundred pounds was nothing to a millionaire.
Levin suddenly remembered and asked: "Nil, did you buy us to win the Europa League?"
Mullin nodded: "I bought it too, two hundred."
Everyone was stunned.
Levin asked: "At the very beginning? The odds were 650?"
"Yes, at the beginning."
The bar was boiling.
A group of big men opened their eyes and yelled, and some even stepped on the chairs.
When Leeds just fell from the Champions League to the Europa League, there were winning odds for each team. The favorite is of course the Europa League hegemony Sevilla Navigator, and Leeds is not dominant among the 32 participating teams.
On the one hand, because they participated in the Europa League for the first time, they had no relevant experience before and no performance in the Europa League, which made analysts unable to accurately analyze the prospects of this team in the Europa League.
On the other hand, because of the poor performance of Leeds City in the league at that time, the news that Tony Clark was about to dismiss had already been heard. The bookmaker believes that Leeds City will put all its energy into the league relegation in the second half of the season, and will not invest too much energy in the Europa League, so the chances of winning the championship are naturally low.
So at that time Leeds City's winning odds were six hundred and fifty to one.
Of course, with the advancement of the Europa League, Leeds City's winning odds have also risen all the way.
Before the semi-finals, Leeds City’s winning odds had become two to seven, which was quite high.
The most promising is still the Seville Navigators. Their odds to win the championship are 3 to 4, which is very close to 1:1...
Those fans who started betting on Leeds City’s championship after reaching the semi-finals in Leeds City, if Leeds City really wins, they really won’t make much money~EbookFREE.me~ and they say it’s not to make money. , Just to support Neil Mullin in Leeds, but he can make a lot of money.
Perhaps this is "pure people have better luck"?
Someone complained: "Damn it! Why didn't I expect to buy Leeds to win the Europa League?"
The person next to him comforted him: "Hey, how many people can think that we will reach the Europa League final?"
"Next season I must bet on Leeds City to win the Premier League title at the beginning of the season!"
"At that time, the odds should not be as high as last season..."
"It doesn't matter whether money is or not. It wasn't for making money. I just wanted to support our own team!"
"Hahaha! I also want to support Leeds!"
The bar was filled with joyful air.
