Chapter 341
"Boss, we are all traveling, why don't we choose Spain? At least it's sunny there now." Simeone wrapped his winter clothes around him and complained to Li Shiguang with a resentful look.
"Stop it." Li Shiguang rolled his eyes at Simeone and joked, "Only Allen and I are traveling. For you, this is work! And I think you are too weak. Allen and I still use windbreakers to solve the problem. Why do you wear such thick clothes?"
"Is there any justice in the world! Why do I work?" Simeone protested dissatisfiedly, "Besides, I am an Argentine, isn't it normal to be afraid of cold?"
Li Shiguang smiled and said, "Since I pay you a salary, why don't you return the double winning bonus you gave me yesterday."
Alan, who was walking beside the two, didn't say anything. He covered his mouth and smiled as he looked at the two people bickering around him, but he also tightened his windbreaker.
Simeone didn't say anything.
In mid-October, the weather in Switzerland would have been a little better than the cold England.
But the Interlaken they came to this time is located in the center of the Bernese Highlands, at the foot of the Jungfrau, so it is also this season that heavy snow has begun to fall.
But it is also because of this that most of the people who come here at this time are tourists.
Allen also considered again and again before deciding to meet with Mendes in Interlaken.
After all, Li Shiguang's identity is there, and Mendes is not an agent of the same level as Raiola two years ago.
If he goes to Spain.
If the media photographs Li Shiguang and Mendes meeting privately, it may be a big deal.
Even so, when the three of them came out of the hotel today, they all wore masks, for fear of being discovered by the omnipresent paparazzi.
····
After walking forward for a few minutes and turning the corner in front, a cafe on the street with an old-fashioned exterior decoration came into Li Shiguang's sight.
In front of the cafe, there was a man wearing a baseball cap and a mask, also wearing a long windbreaker, and looking down at his mobile phone.
"Is this the place?" Simeone turned his head to look at Allen, "Is that Mendes at the door?"
Alan shook his head: "It should be him. I called him before we left the hotel."
"Then didn't you tell him that our boss doesn't like coffee?" Simeone pointed to the sign of the coffee shop in front and joked, "This kid is too ignorant. Before talking about business, he didn't even understand the habits of the sponsor, and he still claims to control the European transfer market!"
"Don't be funny." Li Shiguang interrupted Simeone's complaints, "Why are they still standing at the door in the cold wind waiting for us!"
While talking, the three of them had already walked to the door of the coffee shop.
Alan took the lead in extending his hand to greet the man in front: "Good afternoon, Jorge."
Hearing the voice.
The man put away his mobile phone and immediately turned to look at Li Shiguang and the others.
Although the mask covered most of his face, Li Shiguang could still see from his suddenly bent eyes that the man had a smile on his face.
"Good afternoon, Alan."
After greeting, Alan turned sideways and raised his left hand, and quickly introduced: "Jorge, this is my boss, Mr. Li."
Mendes quickly turned his eyes to Li Shiguang and said softly: "Hello, Mr. Li, nice to meet you."
"I am also happy to meet you, Mr. Mendes." Li Shiguang nodded slightly and pointed to the door of the cafe, "How about we go in first? Interlaken's weather is even colder than Leeds."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Mendes quickly turned sideways, raised his right hand, and made a gesture of inviting him in, "Let's go in and talk, I have just booked a private room."
It can be seen that Mendes spent some time to book this cafe. There are not many people in the cafe. It is afternoon now, and there are only a few guests sitting in the lobby.
Li Shiguang and his friends did not attract much attention when they walked in.
Led by the waiter, the four walked into a private room.
As soon as he sat down, Mendes took off his cap and mask, turned to look at Li Shiguang: "Mr. Li, we can take off the masks now. The owner of this shop is a good friend of mine. He will personally bring us coffee later."
"You are thoughtful, Mr. Mendes." Li Shiguang nodded with a smile and took off the mask on his face.
After Li Shiguang and the other two took off their masks, Mendes looked at the billionaire sitting in front of him.
Today was the first time he saw Li Shiguang so close. He had seen the young Leeds United coach in newspapers or on TV before.
At the moment, looking at the faint smile on Li Shiguang's face.
Mendes couldn't help but feel in his heartexclaimed: "So young!"
As an agent with great influence in the European continent, Mendes actually wanted to get in touch with Li Shiguang, the "black shop owner and talent selector".
The reason is very simple.
Mendes knows the fat guy Raiola.
Mendes knows how much money Raiola has made from the young players signed by Leeds United in the past two years better than anyone else.
In the past, Mendes looked down on Raiola. He always thought that Raiola was just a non-professional who changed his career halfway, but he didn't expect that this fat guy has been doing well in the past two years and has a tendency to catch up with himself.
Although Raiola never admitted to the outside world that there was any secret cooperation between him and Li Shiguang.
But Mendes, who has been working in the European football world for so long, knows that this fat guy can harvest so many young talents so quickly, and Li Shiguang must be behind him!
So this is also the ultimate purpose of Mendes' initiative to get to know Allen at an event.
But things did not go as planned.
Li Shiguang's recruitment targets in the past two seasons were not players under Mendes, which made him have not found an opportunity to talk to Li Shiguang.
So a few days ago, after hearing Allen express Li Shiguang's intention to talk to him on the phone.
Mendes immediately agreed and rushed to Interlaken two days in advance.
He had a hunch that although Allen did not clearly state on the phone what Li Shiguang's purpose was, or who Li Shiguang's target player was.
But Allen took the initiative to mention on the phone that he wanted to set the meeting place in Interlaken, Switzerland, which gave Mendes unlimited imagination.
He had a vague hunch.
Today's business.
It is likely to be the biggest business he has encountered in his career!
