“You don’t need to worry about that.” Looking at Mendes seriously, Li Shiguang’s face was full of confidence. “You just need to find a way to prevent Real Madrid from making an offer to Manchester United during the winter transfer window. After this winter, Calderon probably won’t have time to think about signing Cristiano.”
Li Shiguang's words left Mendes completely bewildered, and a look of confusion naturally appeared on his face.
Looking at Mendes's expression.
After thinking it over, Li Shiguang decided to reveal a little information to him, hoping that this top agent would be more devoted to helping him with Ronaldo's transfer.
"Mr. Mendes, Spain is practically your home ground. Since the start of this season, haven't you heard anything from the Real Madrid management?"
Rumors? Or the management?
Real Madrid is doing just fine, what could possibly be going on?
But Mendes knew that Li Shiguang wouldn't make things up without reason, so he frowned and quickly searched his mind for all the information he could find about Real Madrid.
Actually, Real Madrid has been doing quite well in recent months.
After Capello was sacked, Calderon brought in German Schuster to take charge of the team.
Since Schuster took over, he has let go of Beckham, Carlos, and others, and bought Robben, Drenthe, Metzelder and Pepe. So far this season, they are at the top of the La Liga standings with an unbeaten record of six wins and one draw. Real Madrid are also undefeated in the Champions League so far.
This is a fairly good result.
Mendes couldn't think of anything their management could be dissatisfied with.
Faced with such results, if one had to point out who would be dissatisfied, Mendes could only think of Florentino Pérez, who was ousted by Calderón. Mendes understands Pérez; he knows the old man is a true Real Madrid fan, and he would be happier than anyone else if Real Madrid performed well!
Just as Mendes was about to ask Li Shiguang for clarification, the image of Florentino's warm smile that had just appeared in his mind suddenly reminded him of something!
etc!
Could it be that the inside story of Pepe's transfer has come to the attention of the manager?
As Pepe's agent, Mendes knows best the ins and outs of Pepe's transfer from Porto to Real Madrid, even though he himself profited from the exorbitant €30 million transfer fee.
But the real big winners are Calderón and Real Madrid's technical director, Mijatovic!
However, this was done very discreetly. The number of people at Real Madrid who knew about it could be counted on one hand, and those people were either already involved or were controlled by Calderon. Given Calderon's deep-seated fear of Florentino, how could he possibly let him know?
And the most outrageous thing is...
The person giving this vague information now is Li Shiguang, who has absolutely no connection with Real Madrid!
Mendes was filled with unease. Even though his mind had been tempered by countless trials and tribulations, it was difficult for him to remain completely calm at this moment, and his face unconsciously showed some unnaturalness.
After asking the question, Li Shiguang kept observing Mendes.
Mendes' brows furrowed, then relaxed, then furrowed again, and finally a somewhat unnatural smile appeared on his lips as he looked at him furtively.
Li Shiguang knew that Mendes had roughly guessed what he was talking about.
Several months ago, he reminded Florentino to investigate the club's scouting team and Calderon's private financial flows. Now, almost five months have passed since he reminded Florentino. Apart from Sneijder, who was supposed to go to Real Madrid this summer, whose career trajectory was changed because of his appearance, players like Robben and Pepe still joined Real Madrid as normal.
When Li Shiguang saw that Pepe's transfer fee was 30 million euros, which was exactly the same as he remembered, he knew that with Florentino's methods, even when he was unaware of the situation, he must have already found out something.
Li Shiguang smiled slyly and, without waiting for Mendes to test him, asked directly, "Mr. Mendes, you're Pepe's manager, aren't you?"
These words startled Mendes!
The private room was heated, but he felt a chill all over his body. Although he couldn't see it, Mendes knew that his arms, which were covered by his trench coat, were covered in goosebumps!
He knew it after all!
But how did he know that?!
He's just the owner of Leeds United! Why would this top-secret information, even within Real Madrid, be known to this Easterner living in England?!
Seeing Li Shiguang's smiling face, Mendes's carefully prepared change of topic vanished before he could even utter a word.
"Don't be so nervous, Mr. Mendes, it's nothing serious." Li Shiguang took a sip of his coffee, smiled, pointed to Mendes' forehead, and then pulled a tissue from the tissue box next to him and handed it to him. "Have your friend adjust the temperature of the heating in the private room. Look at you, you're sweating."
Li Shiguang's words completely disrupted Mendes's state of mind.
After all, the topic we're discussing now is no longer simply about Ronaldo's transfer. If this gets exposed and is used by malicious people for hype, even if I'm not the one who benefits the most, it could at least damage Mendes' personal and agency reputation, and at worst, I might even be targeted by the police!
what to do! ?
Mendes could no longer hide his anxiety; it was fully displayed on his face.
“You still look very nervous, Mr. Mendes.”
"Mr. Li! I don't know how you knew, but..."
"Don't worry!" Seeing that Mendes had finally brought up the issue, Li Shiguang understood that tightening the noose too much could backfire, so he quickly reassured him, "We're already partners. You can ask Raiola. I would never harm my partners!"
Mendes breathed a sigh of relief at Li Shiguang's attitude, his face full of gratitude.
Although he had previously agreed to contribute to Ronaldo's transfer, Mendes was more interested in using it as a springboard to gain more profit at Leeds United.
To put it bluntly, even if Li Shiguang ultimately fails to persuade Ronaldo to join, Mendes will not risk offending Real Madrid by forcibly helping Li Shiguang.
But now.
Mendes knew.
If I don't go all out in this matter, then this terrifying man with a smile on his face will definitely have a million ways to deal with me...!
