Chapter 841 Happy (Asking for a Monthly Ticket)

Michael Smith called the phone number on the sticky note.

"Hello, is this Mr. Endidi?"

"I am, who are you?"

"I'm Michael Smith, a scout for Aston Villa," Smith said.

Then he heard a chattering sound coming from the phone.

"I don't care who you are, I'll tell you, if you want to call to cheat me of money, buddy, you've got the wrong idea, I have no money."

Smith was stunned to hear the call hang up.

His first reaction was that the phone number was wrong.

On the other end of the phone, Endidi was repairing the water pipe. He put the phone in his pocket and muttered in his mouth, "I, Lukaka Endidi, are so smart that I still want to cheat my money. I have nothing in my pocket. Not before, you idiot."

Then his wrench hand stopped, Aston Villa? scout?

Oh God, Endidi, what a fool you are, what stupid thing have you done? !

Ndidi immediately called back the number.

"Hello, I'm really sorry, I just..."

Michael Smith didn't care about being angry, and asked directly, "Who are you from N'Golo Kanter?"

"I'm his friend, good friend, best friend," Ndidi said.

"We read the information you provided and are very interested in signing Kante. Can you help us contact the player?"

"Of course, of course."

"Very well, Mr. Endidi, you and Mr. Kantor, we meet."

"No problem, we'll be right there." Endidi said happily.

"Do you have any suggestions on where to meet?" Smith asked.

The two sides agreed to meet at a cafe near the Boulogne club's training base.

...

Michael Smith and a French friend of his came to this café near the training base in Boulogne.

The cafe is conveniently located less than a mile from the Boulogne club's training ground.

The appointed person has not arrived yet.

Michael Smith is thinking about how to quickly win Kanter and fulfill the orders of the big boss.

At this moment, a short black young man of about 165cm pushed in the door and looked around nervously.

"Mr. Endidi, here." Michael Smith greeted proactively.

"Hello, Mr. Smith."

"This is my friend Peng Nanpei, a lawyer." Smith introduced.

Peng Nanpei, a Chinese-French lawyer, is Smith's good friend and partner.

"Hello, Mr. Peng Nanpei."

"Please sit down." Smith said mildly, "Where's Mr. Kanter?"

"I called him and he was coming from the training base," Ndidi said. At this time, he looked out the window and said, "N'Golo is here."

Smith and Peng Nanpei turned their heads to look, and saw a short black young man riding a scooter and carrying a small backpack, sprinting towards him.

Both Smith and Peng Nanpei were stunned. They were well-informed, and it was the first time they met a player who appeared in this way to discuss signing.

"N'Golo doesn't have a car. He goes to the training ground on a scooter every day." Ndidi explained, "Although he doesn't have a car, N'Golo is the first to arrive at the training ground and the last to leave."

This small black young man was a little nervous when he was doing things by himself, and he could even be said to be timid, but when he explained to his good friend Kanter, his eyes were firm and clear.

And there is no such inferiority complex and blame as my friend riding a scooter and making a shabby appearance. When he said these words, his words and deeds showed an expression of pride for his friend's behavior.

Smith nodded. He always believed that a person's quality can be seen from his good friends. Endidi's words and deeds were recognized by him, which also made Smith have a good impression of Kanter.

...

"You didn't tell him that we came to discuss signing with him on behalf of Aston Villa Club?" Smith asked Ndidi in surprise.

Kanter in front of him was stunned, and he didn't even know the reason for meeting here.

"I'm afraid that if I say it, he won't believe it." Endidi explained, "He will definitely say that he wants to practice in the club and is unwilling to come out."

Smith looks to Kantor.

"Mr. N'Golo Kanter, let me introduce myself formally. I am Michael Smith, a scout for Aston Villa. The purpose of coming to Paris this time is to sign a contract with you on behalf of Aston Villa."

"Really?" Without the ecstasy Smith imagined, Kanter first glanced at Smith, and then at his friend Endidi.

"It's true! It's true!" Endidi nodded.

"Aston Villa is going to sign me? Villa is going to sign me? Villa is going to sign me?" Kanter muttered to himself, and then, with a surprised expression, "Mr. Smith, if I heard correctly if……"

"No! You heard me right. I'm here to discuss the signing with you on behalf of Aston Villa." Smith smiled, seeing Kanter showing such an ecstatic expression, he was happy in his heart, this is right, this is The correct way to open.

...

After the surprise, Kanter calmed down, "Mr. Smith, there is one thing I don't understand. I don't think I have the ability to play for Aston Villa now."

Smith noticed that when Kanter said the word now, he was more vocal.

"It's like this. After signing you, you may play in the Aston Villa reserve team first, and then if you have the opportunity, you may go to the first team. Of course, this is just my judgment, and it depends on the details. The club's arrangement," Smith said.

Kanter shook his head, "Mr. Smith, you don't need to lie to me. I'm actually very happy to be able to play in the Aston Villa reserve team."

"I didn't lie to you." Smith looked serious, "You know, Mr. Kanter, Mr. Fang Jue personally arranged for me to sign you!"

"Coach Fang Jue?" Kanter was stunned.

"Yes, you heard me right. The big boss directly named me and arranged for me to sign you. You are a smart man. You should understand what this means. Of course, can you finally impress the big boss and successfully enter the first team? , it depends on what you do after that," Smith said.

"I understand that only sweat and hard work can guide me forward." Kanter nodded vigorously, his eyes seemed to shine.

"Very good!" Smith nodded, putting aside his concerns about Kanter's short stature and whether he could adapt to the Premier League, he still had a very good impression of this young black player.

A very honest and simple kid.

After Kanter is settled, there are no obstacles on the Boulogne Club side.

N'Golo Kante was only a player in the Boulogne reserve team, and even the sports director of the Boulogne club didn't remember who this player was.

Boulogne didn't act like a demon and wanted to kill him just because Aston Villa fell in love with Kanter.

Not to say that every player Aston Villa fancy is a genius discovered by Fang Jue.

Smith's attitude is very clear. He discovered Kanter and felt that he was quite talented. He signed on behalf of the Aston Villa reserve team.

This situation is too common among clubs.

Of course, there are certain reasons why Kanter is determined to leave Boulogne for Aston Villa.

Boulogne did not set an obstacle for Kanter's transfer, £110,000.

In fact, they asked for 200,000 pounds, and Smith cut it in half and added 10,000 pounds. Boulogne immediately agreed.

Yes, Aston Villa paid just £110,000 for 20-year-old midfielder N'Golo Kante from the Ligue 2 relegation zone side's reserves.

Kanter joined for free from JS Surena one and a half years ago. Even in the Boulogne reserve team, he is not a major player. At a price of 110,000 pounds, Boulogne still feels that he has made a profit:

Their psychological price is actually 50,000 pounds, and now it has more than doubled, which is equivalent to a net profit of 110,000 pounds. This is not a small profit for a team at the bottom of the French second league. .

For Aston Villa, Fang felt that he had signed Kanter for only 110,000 pounds, and he was also very happy and flattered.

Both parties feel they have earned it.

Well, this is the best win-win situation.
