Chapter 172: Start first

Early the next morning, Aldridge got up early and gently put Melanie’s arm on his chest aside. He crept down the bed, walked out of the bedroom to close the door, worked out in the gym for 20 minutes, and then After showering, he went downstairs to make breakfast. After eating, he drove to Andrew's company after leaving a note, and texted him on the way, but the other party did not return and it was estimated that he was still sleeping.
Andrew's company is in a business district in West London. He rents an office building. The company's layout is no different from the ordinary workplace, but his own reception room and office are surprisingly large. The decor of the office is more serious and solemn. The reception room It's a lot easier. There are bar counters and sofas, as well as stereo TVs, etc. Generally speaking, it feels more comfortable and relaxing.
Aldrich was taken to the reception room by a beautiful female secretary when he came here. Aldridge said that he was casual. He was not a stranger anyway, but he wanted today's newspaper.
Soon, the female secretary returned with a stack of newspapers and placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
The tabloids were dazzling. Aldridge sat quietly on the sofa and read them one by one. They read very quickly. Most of them glanced away and took aside.
The mainstream newspaper naturally focused on the Premier League match where Manchester United suffered a bloodbath at home yesterday.
The title is also shocking.
Such as "Old Trafford Oblivion", "Red Devil Dynasty Sinking", "Crazy Lion Conquering Dream Theater", "Millwall Champion in Look" and the like.
It is nothing more than stepping on Manchester United and supporting Millwall.
Aldrich looked proud, and some tabloids published a news that made him depressed.
"Manchester United's new star was convinced by the mad lion commander and came to vote in person!"
The picture is a picture of Aldridge and Beckham sitting opposite each other in the restaurant, accompanied by two hot girls.
As a port city, Liverpool has no shortage of news. After the paparazzi get the news, they will not only give it to the old owners, but also sell it among their peers. Anyway, the news will not cover up for long, and this kind of catching news cannot be talked about. Exclusive sensation and the like.
It's just that a contributor who gets a piece of ordinary news can write a sensation through an infinitely powerful pen.
Beckham met Aldridge in Liverpool on the day of the game. What happened? unimportant.
Anyway, adding a few words to the written news and then speculating can generate appeal.
"Perhaps I witnessed Hall’s team slaughtering his own team. Beckham already had the idea of ​​escaping from Manchester United. The fiasco by Millwall did not make him feel bad. It seems that his heart is gone. Manchester United."
Over the past year, I have speculated that Audridge and Beckham have conflicting media, but now they think that the two have released their suspicions and even sat together to discuss the future...
Some newspapers also have this news on the entertainment version. The pictures are basically the same, but the content has changed. What are the golden boys and romantic girls, Aldridge and Beckham will be connected, the ridiculous is that there is still at the end Send a blessing.
Aldridge couldn't even laugh.
Anyway, from now on, Victoria and Beckham will take the initiative to retreat in non-working social situations.
As for the news, Beckham will be punished by Ferguson. It is not Aldridge's turn to care.
Andrew didn't come to the company until ten o'clock in the morning. After pushing the door, he directly said: "I pack my luggage at home. I will fly to Brazil in the afternoon. Because of the successful transfer of Rivaldo, I met some friends over there. They thought To build a stable relationship network in Europe, I also want to have greater development in South America, so this time I went there to open a brokerage company. Do you have any suggestions?"
When it comes to business, Andrew doesn't have any nonsense.
After thinking for a moment, Aldridge said: "The transfer model in South America and Europe is very different. Anyway, even if you go there to set up a company, try not to show up. The characteristics of South American brokerage companies that control the ownership of players will make the transfer transaction. Complicated, even if you want to run players to Europe, it is best not to get involved in disputes."
Andrew nodded his head in deep thought, and he felt so incredible when he understood the operation mode of the South American transfer.
In Europe, player ownership can only be in the hands of the club.
But in South America, the ownership of players can be in the hands of agents or brokerage companies. Once European teams want to introduce players, the transfer of players becomes complicated, because it is no longer a negotiation between clubs, but with agents or Brokerage company negotiations.
Complexity is complicated, but the benefits are too great.
It is commonplace to buy out the ownership of a player with tens of thousands of pounds in places such as Brazil or Argentina, and once this player becomes famous, change hands and sell it, at least it is a profit of millions of pounds, and the benefit is hundreds of thousands Times.
Andrew beckoned to Audridge and the two left the reception room and turned around to his office.
In the office, Andrew opened the desk drawer with the key, took out a document from it and handed it to Aldridge, saying: "From the day my company was founded, you asked me to find someone, one of them, finally found it, I I'm curious, this kid was only four years old five years ago, why do you think he is special?"
Aldridge was shocked and said casually: "You have your network, and I have mine."
Andrew raised his eyebrows no longer.
Aldridge sat down to light a cigarette and opened the document calmly. On the first page, he saw the photo posted on the top left corner of the document.
It is a nine-year-old boy named: Lionel Andres Messi.
The information contains an introduction about his family situation.
Aldridge looked at and asked, "How did you find him?"
Andrew also lighted a cigarette, spit out the smoke lightly and said: "I inserted hundreds of scouts in South America, and there are more than 30 in Argentina. Their main task is to send back all the echelons of the professional clubs in the country, and then at other times. Travel around the country, wherever there is a football team, they go where they go, and collect the same information. This little guy, found in the community team of Rosario, age, characteristics, and name all meet your requirements. Look at your expression, it should be right."
Aldridge flicked the soot and nodded, "It's him."
Fortunately, this kid is not nestled in any backcountry. Rosario is also the second largest city in Argentina.
Think about it too, if it is a place where the bird does not shit, Barcelona scouts may not be able to find him.
Aldridge frowned at the sight.
"Your judgment is that they will not come to Europe?"
Andrew nodded and said: "Yes, his father is now his coach, and my people told me that this kid is expected to play for Rosario's local team in the future."
After thinking about it, Aldridge closed the data and said in a deep voice: "Let your person arrange a medical check over there for him, the one with the highest specifications, and then I will bring him to London."
Andrew didn't understand it, frowned, "Physical examination? How to arrange? Someone suddenly wants to give you a medical examination, will you agree? Will only call you a neuropathy!"
Aldridge sniffed at it and spit out smoke: "You always think you're smart, but you're really stupid. Can't you disguise yourself as the young echelon coach of the Argentine giants? Riverbed, Boca, whatever the hell? Home, put a generous contract in front of them, then, does the physical examination justify it?"
Andrew turned around in his head and smiled and pointed to Aldridge, scolding: "You are not smart, you are cunning! Of the three brothers, you are the most like dad."
"Arthur is a rogue, I'm not like him."
"Haha, let him hear you beating you."
After the two brothers laughed and chatted for a while, while Aldridge came today, Andrew took out a bunch of collected intelligence and let Aldridge look around.
Aldridge flipped through the documents quickly, basically after seeing the name and the photo before passing the next one.
The two chatted casually. Andrew, who didn't eat breakfast, asked the secretary to pack up a table of takeaways and opened a bottle of good wine.
His appearance made Aldridge cry and laugh, a table full of takeaways on the street, a bottle of top-notch red wine, like seeing someone eating a food stall with five dollars and one dish, but drinking tens of thousands of Maotai.
The movement of flipping through the documents suddenly stopped. Aldridge stared at the information sharply. He looked left and right, and finally determined that this person was a person he knew.
Ha ha ha ha!
Andrew looked up weirdly, rubbed the salad dressing around his mouth, sipped his wine and moistened his throat and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Aldrich took the documents in his hand and threw them in front of the other party, saying, "Get it done. Within two years, I want him to come to Millwall."
Andrew looked down carefully and wondered: "What a joke, are you crazy? The previous investment in Ronaldinho has not yet been recovered. Here is this set? This guy's family situation is too complicated. Now, get him here and settle down properly. I estimate at least 4 million pounds. You might as well go buy a famous star directly. This is a wild kid."
Aldridge smiled on Erlang's legs without a word, very happy.
Andrew shouted: "Hey, Audridge, are you awake? This kid named Sergio Lionel KUN Aguero del Castillo has five parents in addition to his parents Brothers and sisters! Grass, I have never seen someone like you. You dig people even if they dig together!"
Aldridge snapped his fingers and said: "I'm out of money, what are you in a hurry? In short, you bring him to London. The club can provide jobs for his father, continue to be a driver or manage turf. Anyway, there will be A lot of jobs need to be recruited. His brothers and sisters do not require aristocratic schools. The level is not bad. The place to live is simpler. I have eight idle apartments there, and I can give them two."
Andrew scratched his head and asked Shen Sheng: "Can you tell me the reason? Is your network in play? Why didn't you say his name before and let me go?"
Aldrich spread his hands and said: "This child is cute and I like it. I think it is enough for this reason. At least my money is justified. Even if the child proves that I am blind, then I am happy when I help the poor. ."
The Aguero family of eight lives in the capital's slums. The monthly income of the whole family is less than 600 pounds. One can imagine how difficult life will be.
Andrew was very angry and not entangled. Anyway, the three brothers had this character and decided the things that no ten cattle could turn back.
He asked the secretary to come in to clean up the desktop, and then said: "That line, I will get in touch first when I go to South America this time. In addition, I have a lot of advertising contracts waiting to sign with your players. You express your attitude."
Aldrich didn’t care:
My request is very simple. I can’t interfere with what the player wants to do during the vacation, but during the season, the player can use their free time to take advertisements and autograph photos. I don’t ask about it without delaying training, but I can’t go anywhere. Fly to participate in commercial activities. Andrew, you have to understand one thing, although most agents only have money in their eyes, wise agents understand that only when the players are in good condition on the court will the player's value continue to appreciate, if Things outside the court interfere with the player’s status, and in fact it is your loss as an agent."
Andrew nodded solemnly this time.
