Green Life

When Ma Keqin arrived home, it was almost 10 o'clock, Chen Zixuan and Angel had already fallen asleep, Peter was sitting on the sofa waiting for him, and the highlights of this round of the Premier League were playing on TV.

Poured a glass of white water for Mark Qin, turned down the sound of the TV, Peter said to Mark Qin: "Mark, I also watched the live broadcast of Liverpool just now, and I was lucky to win today. How do you feel watching the game live?"

"The quality of the club's signings this year is very good. If we can get in place as soon as possible, the results should be better than last year, but compared to Manchester United and Chelsea, our wings are still not dominant."

"That's right, I think so too, don't think I'm selling peripheral products, haha~", it is said that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and now Peter can be said to be proud of himself.

"Another piece of good news for you is that my agent qualification certificate has been obtained. From now on, I will be your official agent." Peter took out a green book and slapped it on the table.

Ma Keqin picked it up and looked at it casually. There was nothing new, and it was a matter of course, so you don't need to pay too much attention to it.

Peter straightened up and leaned forward, and said to Mark Qin seriously: "Mark, now that Angel is born, I will negotiate with the club in the future. Now that your professional contract has officially come into effect, I would like to ask Do you have any thoughts on the future?"

"The situation is not very optimistic," Ma Keqin organized his words while drinking water, "I am still a little thin now, and Rafa attaches great importance to defense. This can be seen from the fact that he replaced Benayoun first in the second half today. "

"You mean it's hard for you to get a chance to play?"

Ma Keqin nodded, "Almost, even in the League Cup, I guess the order of appearance is at the back."

"Mark, you are indeed too young now. Even if you stay in the first team for a year or two, you are still a young player, so there is no need to be so anxious."

"No", Ma Keqin shook his head, "Peter, you haven't stayed in a professional football club, so it may be the same idea, and many people may also have the same idea."

"Well, you go ahead"

"Don't you find it strange that I was suddenly transferred to the first team?"

"It's a little bit of what you said. I always thought it was because you performed well in the reserve team. Could there be other reasons?"

"I performed well in the reserve team at the end of last season, but it was not enough to impress Rafa. This year's youth team reform, according to normal procedures, I can go to U18, U19, or even U23, but it is definitely not the first team."

"Then why..."

"Do you remember the interviews with Chinese media and British media in the past two months?"

"Of course, Julie of the Echo is quite well-known. Now she has gone to the BBC as an intern host, and she mentioned you several times in her column. As for the Chinese media, to be honest, I don't know much about it."

"I think this is the problem. Rafa's transfer of me to the first team may not be his own intention, but the club's instruction. The reason is naturally to attract Chinese media. After all, I am Chinese, although my nationality has changed."

Peter held his chin and thought for a while, then said, "I don't think this is a bad thing, it's good for you"

"In the long run, it is true, but this is a bit against Benitez's team building policy. He is a stubborn person. He can completely hang me in the first team for a year or two as a mascot because of my age and physical reasons. "

"But for me, this period is particularly critical. Do you know Cesc Fabregas at Arsenal? He was 18 years old and Wenger could send Vieira away because he played in the first team at 16 years old. I have accumulated a wealth of experience over the years, which cannot be practiced on the training ground, and you have England's golden boy Rooney."

"I understand your thoughts. I think what we need to do now is to fight for a chance to play." Peter nodded and said seriously, "Is there anything you can do?"

You are the manager, Hun Dan!

"I thought of three ways,

It’s not easy, the best way is of course to let Rafa value my role, then everything will not be a problem, but this is difficult to achieve in the short term.”

"The second is to find a club that allows me to play and loan me out, but one is my age, and the other is that the club will not just loan me out if they want me to be a mascot."

"The worst way is very dangerous. It is to use the media and the board of directors to put pressure on Benitez. This method is very dangerous. Maybe I will be isolated in the dressing room. In that case, I will not be able to stay in Liverpool."

Peter looked at him dumbfounded, "Your brain is a genius!" Peter excitedly sat next to Mark Qin, "Just like the best-selling products around, you need to use the media network to stir up the heat first, and then the public will be attracted by it." Come and buy!"

"I'm an expert on this. I can contact some media tabloids to operate it right away? How do I write it? Liverpool's geniuses will be born in the next 20 years?"

Mark Qin patted his forehead, "Do you want me to pack up and leave, Peter?"

"Uh, can't you?"

What an amateur rookie! Hun Dan!

"I have to maintain a good relationship with Rafa to have hope. Otherwise, I can directly apply for a transfer. Do you know the weight of Rafa in the club now? It can be said that in the field of competition, even Parry needs to discuss with him. .”

"so……"

"So we can only properly use the media and the club to attract Rafa's attention, but not make him disgusted. This is possible with my performance on the training ground. As long as he gives me a few chances, I believe my There will be more and more opportunities.”

"It seems... quite reasonable, what do I need to do?"

Ma Keqin rolled his eyes, and when I become famous in the future, you will be a full-time nanny!

"Well, when I came back today, I thought about it and had some preliminary ideas. You know that Shanny helped me organize Mark's support group at school."

"Mark what group?"

"..., you just need to confirm this with Shanni. Let Shanni try her best to bring some people to Melwood to support me after training every day. You can discuss what form it will be. This will make it easier for local die-hard fans to really know me. Before, they were just in I read it in the report, it’s easy to forget.”

"And you hired two editors who understand Chinese, and the cost was paid out of my salary. They published my materials, interesting stories, and videos on the Chinese Internet in recent years, and kept my popularity on the Chinese Internet. I just checked However, domestic TV stations have just broadcast an exclusive interview with me, and now is the time when fans are interested in me.”

"Well, is there anything else?" Peter began to write in a small notebook.

"Well..., there is also the need to establish contact with the Chinese media and maintain a good relationship so that they can find me at any time and report as much as possible in China."

"Reporting in China? Is it of any use to the club?"

You can kill him with a piece of tofu!

"Julie and I have a good relationship here. You should contact her more. She has news sensitivity and knows what is worth reporting. She knows how to use China's domestic dynamics."

"By the way, let Shanni have time to participate in your work. He understands Chinese and also knows the thoughts of those nerds and nerdies on the Internet. It must be helpful."

"Mark," Peter put the notebook on the coffee table, "where did you learn these things?"

Ma Keqin shrugged, "When I was a child fighting in groups, I understood the truth that in order to defeat an opponent who is stronger than you, you must form a faction..."

"I'm going to bed first~"

Peter looked at Ma Keqin who was going up the stairs, and made a speechless expression, what a monster!

...

In the next few days, Peter successfully entered the working state. Now his work is mainly to communicate on the phone, so he can still work part-time.

Ai Ming also put great enthusiasm into it. One is to help his brother, and the other is that this matter is interesting.

She organized a lot of classmates to wait for Ma Keqin in shifts almost every day to create a fan effect for him when he finished training, under the banner of "Mark Support Group".

At first, many other fans were very curious about this group, but gradually Aiming and the others developed some fans. More and more people came out to greet Mark and take pictures with him every day, and even asked for his autograph.

Ai Ming also established a team of the Mark Support Group in a well-known football community in the UK. He considers himself the team leader and manages the information on Mark Qin's network very meticulously.

Peter successfully hired two part-time international students. The name is to help Mark Qin maintain domestic network information. He does not have a website now, so the task for them is to go to Hupu, Sina, Tieba and other places to find posts discussing Mark Qin. , and then guide the topic, and release the information appropriately to keep the heat.

Julie and Peter also exchanged phone calls. She was still surprised when she received the call, but after Peter made indirect remarks for a while, Julie understood in a blink of an eye.

She didn't expect the little guy's manager to be capable, she took it as Peter's idea, never thought that the child in her eyes was not innocent at all!

But for Julie, in a football-developed region like Europe, many newspapers and media rely on a club to survive. There are too many examples of a reporter and a host becoming popular because of a certain star relationship.

Julie doesn't mind this kind of insignificant investment up front, once it pays off, it will be thousands of times!

At the same time, Peter also contacted the club, intending to start contract negotiations. Mark Qin’s contract was signed according to the model of a young player. Case.

It is reasonable for Benitez to be responsible for the contracts of the first team, but he is not interested in Mark Qin's routine contract modification, and he can just let Peter and Parry negotiate directly.

As the team manager, Parry is very optimistic about Mark Qin, not at the competitive level but at the economic level. Whether it is because of his love for the club or increasing his resume, it is always more cost-effective to train a player who can open up the market than a purely competitive player. many.

At present, Ayer is actively communicating with China, but the results are minimal. The most influential clubs in the past two years are Manchester United and Chelsea. Liverpool wants to increase its influence in Asia. It is difficult to open up the market by TV broadcast alone. Chinese merchants I don't buy it very much.

So Parry, more than Benitez, hopes to establish the influence of Mark Qin in the first team as soon as possible, so that Gerrard, Alonso, Mark Qin and Torres can establish themselves like the big stars of Manchester United. team influence.

Now Liverpool's influence is more on the competitive level, and its attractiveness to the business market is far less than that of Manchester United. Therefore, the Asian market is especially important to Liverpool. Manchester United knows to buy a Dong Fangzhuo.

With this in mind, Parry had a pleasant conversation with Peter. Basically, Parry gave the best conditions within the scope of the rules in order to show his favor to Mark Qin.

The weekly salary is 4,000 pounds, the contract is for four years, appearance fee, goal award, and assist award are calculated separately. Parry did not dare to increase the agreed playing time, after all, it is not within his scope of authority.

Peter is already satisfied. The playing time is not something that can be agreed in a contract. Now Mark Qin's annual income is close to 120,000 pounds excluding taxes. If various bonuses are added, 150,000 pounds is also possible. Individuals add up to more.

Converted into RMB, at the exchange rate at that time, it was close to 2 million RMB. This is because Mark Qin did not play a single first-team game.

When I came back, Mark Qin looked at the contract. This is Parry's sugar coating for himself. Then, if there are shells, won't he throw them back? Grandpa, I've been around for two lives, but can I still make people use me as a spearman?
