Chapter 114 Finalized
Eggsy really thought a lot after reading this email, and he even had to prepare himself mentally before opening it. Then Eggsy immediately did a three-round roll in the hotel room, and of course he was so excited that he couldn't stop.
If this is undoubtedly the best news for Eggsy these days, Eggsy jumped up and down with joy, but in the end his eyes turned red. It took him a long time to calm himself down, and then he sat down and read the contents of the email carefully.
Fortunately, Eggsy's Spanish has improved dramatically since he met Modric and Ramos, so there is no obstacle for him to understand the email.
However, this email was not to inform Eggsy that Real Madrid had taken a fancy to him and wanted him to join Real Madrid. Instead, it was an email that Real Madrid's president Florentino hoped to meet Eggsy tomorrow, so this was an invitation letter to him.
"Well, it's not like there's no chance at all." Eggsy consoled himself.
Because this email was not an invitation to him to join Real Madrid, he really felt a little lost at this moment, but he thought that if it was an invitation from the chairman, it might not be a bad thing.
So I gladly accepted it and started to arrange some of my travel arrangements.
But what he didn't know was what this email from Real Madrid meant.
As we all know, Real Madrid is one of the top clubs in the world, and Real Madrid's purchasing strategy over the years has been to purchase superstars from other leagues or other clubs in order to build a dream galactic battleship for itself.
The presidents of Real Madrid, from the Bernabeu family to the current president, Mr. Florentino, have all been implementing this indicator, and it is quite representative considering that Real Madrid was able to spend 100 million to buy Bale.
But this year, Zidane took over as coach of Real Madrid. He did not raise any objections to Bale, whom Mr. Florentino had previously favored, but he proposed a completely new plan.
That is the lottery plan, that is, to focus on purchasing and training newcomers who have just emerged in major leagues, buy them out, and even if they do not play for Real Madrid, they can be loaned out, trained in major leagues and clubs, and then let them play for the pseudo-Real Madrid.
If this is done, it is completely low-cost (no more than 10 million) and high-efficiency (the players trained belong to the team) and cast a wide net to catch more fish. This is a typical business that can only make money and not lose money, so when Zidane proposed this plan, Florentino was indeed tempted.
But Florentino was a little hesitant to change Real Madrid's habit of spending money lavishly. But Zidane took out Eggsy's resume and asked Florentino to take a look at it first, so he spent a week looking at it.
It was not until yesterday that Florentino suggested taking Agisiletta to his villa in the UK and asking Zidane to accompany him for a chat.
With such an opportunity, Zidane knew that Florentino must be tempted, and it was possible for Eggizi to come to Real Madrid!
So he hurriedly told the news to the current Real Madrid players who had cared a lot about the little guy, Modric, Ramos, and Ronaldo.
Of course, in order to be fair, Zidane did not tell Eggsy, and acted as an upright head coach, preparing to accompany Florentino to interview Eggsy.
However, Eggsy didn't know it yet. He was still struggling with what to wear to meet Florentino.
Suits seemed too formal, and T-shirts too casual. After thinking it over, Eggsy took the opportunity to reply to the email to express that he had received it and would attend on time, and also asked about the dress code.
In fact, Eggsy thought that this kind of email was definitely not replied by Florentino himself, but definitely by his assistant. But he didn't expect that Florentino's residence in the UK was a small manor, and Florentino liked this somewhat retro country manor with a small garden.
So apart from a gardener and housekeeper, he had no assistants at all in this house.
Then Florentino saw an email reply in fluent Spanish. Eggsy first thanked him for the invitation, and then asked about the attire and some things he needed to bring on the day.
This made Florentino feel very fond of Eggsy, a little guy he hadn't met yet. At least he felt that the other party was quite knowledgeable about rules and etiquette. Not to mention that the little player could communicate in Spanish, which again earned Florentino more points in favor.
"This is just a casual meeting. I hope to talk to you in person and learn about your future football career," Florentino replied to the email, and also informed the butler that a little guest would come tomorrow and asked him to prepare Spanish food. "Of course, I would also like to invite you to lunch. I hope you don't mind my sudden invitation."
Eggsy received a reply soon, and he even saw a note written by Florentino below: Ah, the creamed potatoes cooked by my butler are amazing, I hope he will like them.
So on the next afternoon, Egg Northwest, wearing a casual suit jacket and a white T-shirt inside, stood at the gate of Florentino's manor, looking like a sunny boy.
He even looked with interest at the large pot of irises blooming in front of Florentino's house before ringing the doorbell.
However, what surprised Eggsy was that it was Zidane who opened the door for him. Then, just as he was looking at him in surprise, Florentino actually came to open the door himself.
"Eggsy?"
"Yes, sir," Eggsy handed the basket of cheese he was holding to Mr. Florentino and said, "This is our first time here and we don't know what you like. Please don't refuse."
Florentino accepted it with a smile. He took a special look at Eggsy and then at the child's dress, speech and behavior. To be honest, he was really good.
At least it can be seen that he is very sincere, so sincere that people can't help but have a new liking for him. Of course, I also understand how Ronaldo, Ramos, and Modric spoiled this kid to the sky.
When passing by Florentino's large garden of fuchsias, Eggsy walked briskly and even gently stroked the lake with his hand. He looked so brisk that he was like a carefree big boy, and he was indeed a big boy.
Florentino saw him walking through his garden like this, and he also learned to walk through his own garden. You can't say it feels really good, and even feel a lot younger. Smiling, he and Eggsy walked through their beautiful garden together.
Zidane knew as soon as he saw this scene in the restaurant that the matter was probably settled. As long as Eggsy didn't put the dish on Florentino's head during the meal, the matter would be settled.
Sure enough, Florentino and Eggsy started chatting at the dinner table in the afternoon. Zidane suddenly realized that being a top student is good. No matter what he talked about with Eggsy, he knew some secrets that would not let Florentino's words fall flat.
Florentino laughed a lot during the meal, but he didn't talk about Eggsy coming to Real Madrid. And he didn't ask Eggsy either. After the meal, they chatted for a while, and finally Eggsy found an opportunity to leave.
Zidane looked at Florentino, not knowing what this old fox was thinking. Florentino, however, looked at Zidane with a smile and nodded.
"Eight million." Florentino smiled and said, "I like this kid. I won't hide it from you. When I was having dinner with him, I felt like I was having dinner with my own child. I was already thinking about seeing him wearing our Real Madrid jersey."
Zidane wanted to laugh at Florentino's excitement, but he had to admit that being with Eggsy, this cute little guy, was really comforting and it was hard not to like him.
Although Florentino offered 8 million, Zidane had to consider Eggsy's situation in the locker room, that is: Eggsy's salary could not be higher than others, and because this little guy was bullied by his unscrupulous boss before, he could be compensated with some benefits.
If Eggesi wants to gain a foothold in Real Madrid, he must also meet the needs of an offensive controlling midfielder, so in addition to the assist bonus, Zidane even cunningly set up a goal bonus for him.
Then he still felt it was not enough, so he discussed with his assistant team to set the playing time for Eggsy this season, as well as the indicators for control range and control rate.
Zidane then sent the 186-page contract to Eggsy. Eggsy read the contract himself, but still had to show the main terms to Femantha.
He himself was going to call Mr. Ranieri and of course he had to be the first to tell him the good news.
At this time, Mr. Ranieri was still basking in the sun on the beach in Italy. He was also invited by the local Italian team and was enjoying the last bit of vacation before the season.
Because of his outstanding performance as coach of Leicester City, he was awarded the best head coach award by the Premier League Football Association. Of course, because he didn't want to see that disgusting boss, he also chose to mail it.
Mr. Ranieri's biggest regret now is Eggsy. He was relieved to hear that Eggsy decided to go to Real Madrid and he has no regrets anymore.
"…Vardy went to Chelsea, he said he liked the color of Chelsea's jersey. Mahrez and Captain Kante are in Manchester City, and Drinkwater and Shinji Okazaki are in Crystal Palace," Eggsy talked to Mr. Ranieri on the phone about everyone's recent situation, and said with emotion: "We still have a party tonight."
"Then I feel relieved..." Mr. Ranieri on the other end of the phone sighed, and it seemed that he was completely relieved.
Real Madrid paid Eggsy a transfer fee of 6.5 million, of which 400,000 was the penalty fee for Eggsy and Leicester City, but Zidane promised Eggsy that his annual salary at Real Madrid would increase with his age.
Eggsy didn't care about the annuity, but just asked Zidane: "Can I not sign the transfer contract in Leicester City?"
Zidane didn't find it strange that Eggsy made such a request. If it were him, he wouldn't want to meet such a disgusting boss.
However, the contract must be signed by the heads of both clubs, so Eggsy has to go even if he doesn't want to.
The penetration power of British tabloid reporters is really terrifying. Eggsy's return to Leicester City to sign the transfer contract should not have been publicized, but now Leicester City fans have surrounded the gate in three layers inside and outside, and everyone is holding Eggsy's No. 17 jersey to express their blessings.
Eggsy's eyes soon became moist. He wanted to go out but Zidane stopped him and wouldn't let him get out of the car, so he let the driver drive in slowly.
Indonesian owner Ben didn't have to come to sign the transfer contract, but he came anyway. When he saw that Eggsy's transfer fee was only 6.1 million, he could not hide the disgust on his face.
But Eggsy did not back off. Instead, he greeted Grandet with a smile and asked about his company's recent situation.
This is quite hurtful. Everyone knows that the video of the Indonesian boss cursing Eggsy was posted online, which caused his and his company's image to plummet. In addition, investors withdrew their capital, and the boss is now going through bankruptcy process?
Now it is unclear whether the transfer fees of all the players can support Leicester City next season, and the owner is now heavily in debt.
It can be said that he was just waiting to get some money back by selling Eggsy, but Eggsy did not choose those with the highest bids, but instead chose the third lowest one. Naturally, the Indonesian boss's face turned bad.
But as long as Eggsy is willing, he has no choice. He just didn't forget to stab Eggsy with one sentence after signing: "I hope you won't be sold next year due to injury."
This was undoubtedly a curse, but did Eggsy care? He just smiled and said, "Curses are generally done by the most incompetent people. After all, it is the rage of impotence."
The Indonesian boss was about to yell at Eggsy when he was confronted by her, but Zidane rushed over and snatched the contract from the Indonesian boss, and also took Eggsy away.
This made Eggsy unable to say the last sentence. Because in his eyes, the back of this Indonesian boss was basically covered with black lines, and even his face was covered with black lines.
