Two Hundred and Thirty-Nine Professional Cake Painting for 30 Years

"Mr. Rudolph, thank you very much for calling me, goodbye!"

After Gao Shen hung up the phone in his hand, he let out a heavy breath.

Is this the first number of contact calls you have received in a few days after returning to China?

He didn't even calculate it carefully, but there were at least five or six calls, all of which were calls from top European league clubs.

Either the technical director, or the sporting director, or the general manager of the club, or even the chairman.

The phone call he just hung up was that the president from Atlanta, Ivan Rudolph, didn't say anything important, he just said that he would treat Gao Shen to a meal, but Gao Shen politely said that he was in China.

He guessed the meaning of Ivan Rudolph's call.

It's not difficult to guess at all. Even when other clubs called, some said it clearly, and some hinted at it. Anyway, they all meant the same thing.

They are going to change coaches, and Gao Shen has entered the range of their coach selection, and they want to know Gao Shen's level of interest.

This is normal routine.

Many people think that the selection of coaches for a team is the same as the selection of concubines by the emperor. In fact, that is wrong. Before they are fully grasped, they will not easily make a move, because even if they do, there is nothing to talk about. Just like when you go to a 4th store to buy a car, they cannot give you the reserve price until you have the determination to pay on the spot.

Generally speaking, the club will first contact the agent to understand the intention of the head coach through the agent.

Both parties have certain intentions, and it is basically confirmed that they can cooperate, and then make an appointment to sit down and discuss in depth.

It can be said that if the two sides sit down and talk, there will generally be no surprises.

So there will be a lot of what the media said, that a certain head coach has dinner with someone from a certain club, and it is basically a certainty.

The difference between Gao Shen and other head coaches is that he doesn't have an agent, so all the calls go directly to him.

This is also the result of his deliberation.

On the one hand, it’s hard to find an agent, and it’s even harder to contact a reliable agent. He knows that agents like Mendes and Raiola are very good, but it’s impossible to take the initiative to find them and tell them, you come Be my agent?

Isn't that silly?

Besides, having a broker doesn't mean it's convenient.

For example, Mourinho, wherever he goes, Mendes players follow him, is this a coincidence?

Therefore, at least for the time being, Gao Shen did not consider finding an agent.

As for matters on the commercial level, Gao Shen can completely entrust a professional company to take care of it, and it can be done without a broker. Even, there is one less middleman to draw commission.

Of course, the disadvantage is that like now, calls are made directly to his mobile phone

"I miss my mate40Pro!" Gao Shen looked at the brick Nokia in front of him, shook his head and sighed.

Dual card dual standby is cool!

"Which team came to you to coach again?"

Seeing Gao Shen walking back, as a die-hard fan, Su Zhijun couldn't resist the spirit of gossip and asked.

"Atlanta." Gao said with a deep smile.

"Oh, last season's Serie A ranked eighth, it's incredible." Su Zhijun was excited.

Anyone can see that Gao Shen's current coaching career is booming, step by step.

"Atalanta will usher in the centenary in the new season. They want to take a gamble and rush into the European theater, but last season's head coach Colantono climbed a step after his excellent coaching performance and went to Palermo. .

After Palermo fired the head coach Guidolin last season, they also contacted Gao Shen. It was two or three months ago, but Gao Shen politely declined at that time, saying that he was determined to achieve results in Naples. It was after being resigned by Gao Shen that Palermo chose Colantono, and Atlanta, which lost its head coach, came to him again.

Going around, this is very common in the top European leagues, because there are not many really top coaches.

Top coaches, like top teams, are scarce items!

Besides Palermo and Atlanta,

In fact, there are still many teams that have contacted Gao Shen one after another, such as Parma.

After the thrilling relegation last season, Parma contacted Gao Shen, wanting to recruit him from Naples to Parma, but Gao Shen politely declined.

He is now concentrating on Naples, and he wants to lead this team to a big fight in the new season of Serie A.

Especially Inter Milan.

He has to avenge a zero to three revenge with his own hands!

"I have a question. According to domestic media reports, don't they all say that the Italian media are desperately attacking you and accusing you? Then why are there so many teams coming to you?" Su Zhijun was puzzled.

Gao Shen was taken aback for a moment, only then did he realize that this is 2007, far from 2021.

What was the domestic environment in 2007?

Not to mention that the foreign media attacked so profoundly, even in China, many media and public officials followed suit.

why?

The moon in foreign countries is rounder than domestic ones!

Even some domestic media are using the "secrets" that foreign tabloids don't know how many times they have, and they are hyping it up in China.

Gao Shen is also used to this.

"Actually, if you think about it this way, the media and football are interdependent, and they can be regarded as mutual use, but what the media pursues is the eyeball economy. What they want is sales and attention. Whoever is popular will be fired. When they love you, they can't wait to put you When I hold you up to the sky and step on you, I wish to destroy you humanely.

"The feelings of fans are very simple. They are often influenced by media reports. Many times, they are even guided subtly. They don't know why they like someone or why they don't."

"But what the club invests is real money. They operate there with tens of millions of euros every year. They are the most honest.

Su Zhijun suddenly realized.

"It's like buying a house. You see, there are news on the Internet that house prices are about to collapse and house prices are too high. But think about it, if you have money now, what do you want to do besides investing in business?"

Su Zhijun pondered for a while, and found that Gao Shen's words were quite reasonable.

Not only him, but even Su Qing showed a thoughtful expression.

With money, in addition to investing in business, the biggest idea is probably to buy a house.

This is actually a reprint of the story of "I really have a cow".

Never listen to what others say easily, but look at what he does.

Too many people say no, but their bodies are honest.

"Then you plan to stay in Naples?" After thinking it over, Su Zhijun asked with concern.

"I have carefully prepared for half a year. Even from the day I coached Naples, I have been waiting for Serie A. Do you think I will choose to leave at this time?" Gao Shen asked back with a smile.

"No, of course not, I'm not so stupid." Su Zhijun laughed.

Behind him, Su Qing looked deeply at Gao Shen, who was both familiar and unfamiliar.

She and Gao Shen grew up together, but the previous Gao Shen was more like a childhood playmate and friend to her.

Many people in the community and school said that they liked each other, but they really didn't.

She didn't like Gao Shen before, but after coming back last year, he seemed to be a completely different person.

This is not because he has become famous, but because Gao Shen used to be very timid, low-key, hesitant to do things, without any responsibility, but now he is full of confidence at all times, always convincing when he speaks and does things, giving people a sense of security sense.

This was something Gao Shen had never experienced before.

After returning from the outside, Gao Shen counted the time and called Marino in Naples, contacting Europe every day, which is one of Gao Shen's tasks.

He needs to keep abreast of the latest market conditions.

Marino will also report the latest developments at any time, especially the transfer market.

The most troublesome thing for the general manager of Naples is that there are too many teams poaching Naples.

"I feel now that what we hold in our hands is not the players, but the euro, which everyone loves!" Marino almost cried.

This is really too dangerous!

Arsenal sent a fax to inquire about the price, Roma called directly to inquire, and Juventus even arranged for someone to come to talk...

"My God, you don't know how lively our office is now!"

After listening to Gao Shen, he laughed.

In fact, it is not surprising.

Do you really think that Naples has players?

Wrong, that's all money!

In professional football, players are the most valuable.

"You should think so, this just proves our strength, so now you should no longer doubt, I told you before, we will have a big fight in Serie A in the new season, right?"

"I believe it, I am convinced!" Marino was convinced on the phone.

"However, Gao, it's not an option to continue like this. We can stop it, but players may not be able to withstand the temptation."

"Don't worry, I've talked to them before, there shouldn't be any problem. If they transfer, they will definitely be the first to notify me. But you, keep the German guy steady. If he is tempted, you can ask him , Do you still want to win the Serie A championship?"

Marino laughed loudly from the other side of the phone, which startled Gao Shen.

Nima, can you stop being so surprised?

Also, if you laugh so badly, let's stop laughing, okay?

"Let me tell you, when it comes to painting pancakes, you are still a professional, and the boss has to obey!" Marino was even more impressed.

Some teams offer really good prices, and De Laurentiis is not completely indifferent, but Gao Shen's big pie was there at the beginning, the Serie A champion, don't you think?

Who wouldn't?

So now, the Germans basically don't come out to meet people.

why?

I was afraid that I would be careless, so I couldn't hold back!

"By the way, Gao, when are you coming back?" Marino asked with concern. He has to treat Gao Shen to a good meal, and by the way, ask for advice on how to manage the boss's way upwards.

He had secretly asked Gao Shen before, but it was cloudy when he talked about it, and he only knew it but didn't know why.

I understand a little bit in theory, but not technically.

Still professional

"I'll be back in two days, but I have to go to Barcelona first."

"What are you going to do in Barcelona?"

"Meet a friend, and poach a player by the way." Gao Shen smiled maliciously.
