There are no walls in this world that are impenetrable.
It wasn’t long before the news of ndes and Raiola contacting Tang Long in an attempt to poach him was exposed by the dia.
The dia started buzzing with gossip!
So people felt that a rising star like Tang Long, who is not even 20 yet and has the potential to beco a world-class player, being under Ronaldo’s na was indeed a bit of a grievance for him.
The Manchester Evening News pointed out that in the field of agents, Ronaldo is a complete novice!
"During his playing career, Ronaldo achieved world-renowned achievents, becoming a symbol of football in the minds of a generation."
"After retirent, Ronaldo also achieved great success in the business world, with a net worth once exceeding 500 million dollars; however, in the field of football agents, he is far less experienced, connected, or capable in business than ndes and Raiola."
"This can be seen from the number of players under these three n. In this world, almost all the superstars are under the nas of ndes and Raiola."
"Under ndes are C Luo, De Gea, Costa, Di Maria, Rodriguez, and others."
"Under Raiola are Eevee, Pogba, Lukaku, Mkhitaryan, Matuidi, among others."
"But on the other hand, since Ronaldo’s agency was established a year ago, it has only signed two players, Tang and Bonazzoli."
"When players choose to sign with an agent, they either choose a family mber so that the commission stays within the family, or they choose a big-na agent to use the agent’s connections and capabilities to bring better prospects for themselves."
"From any angle, Ronaldo cannot compete with ndes and Raiola!"
"If Tang wants to advance further in his career, he is now at a crossroads of choice."
And the Tis reported even more in-depth.
It even unearthed a rumor that Tang Long’s teammate Mkhitaryan was persuading him to switch to Raiola’s clientele.
"Mkhitaryan very much wants to beco a fellow brother under Raiola with Tang. He has accepted Raiola’s advice and began persuading Tang Long."
"Ronaldo, who has not been active in England for a long ti, is highly likely to lose his most valuable player!"
These ssages were hyped up intensely for a while.
And what was Ronaldo doing now?
He was constantly expanding his business empire, and he was now opening his own vineyard in São Paulo, Brazil, importing red wine from Europe to sell in Brazil.
However, when he saw the dia reports, he was instantly taken aback!
The player agent business is also an important part of Ronaldo’s business territory, and among his players, Tang Long is his core client.
Being able to sign Tang Long made Ronaldo feel extrely lucky!
This agency had just started, and if Tang Long were poached, he would only have Bonazzoli left, and it would be aningless to operate such a small agency, Ronaldo thought.
Currently, the contract Ronaldo signed with Tang Long is still the initial basic contract.
If Tang Long chose to unilaterally break the contract, he would only have to pay a price of 2 million euros.
This amount, Tang Long wouldn’t even have to pay himself, ndes and Raiola could cover it out of their own pockets with ease.
So he decisively set aside his wine business, took the fastest flight, and rushed back to Manchester from São Paulo.
"No matter what, Tang cannot be taken away!"

[Agent Choice Rewards]
[Sign with ndes: Win at least two Golden Ball Awards in your career]
[Sign with Raiola: Obtain the world’s highest salary within five years]
[Continue to cooperate with Ronaldo: Obtain the threshold of Ronaldo’s peak three paraters and the threshold of 100% skill level for three classic dribbling moves, and achieve it through specialized training on the training ground]
The first ti Tang Long chose to cooperate with an agent in his career, the choices were Raiola, Maradona, and Ronaldo.
The system also gave three different reward options respectively.
The second ti was the sa!
Tang Long didn’t even think about it and chose the third option, continuing to cooperate with Ronaldo.
Whether it is winning the Golden Ball Award or achieving the world’s highest salary, it is all based on the player’s technical skills.
Nowadays, after Tang Long was switched from an attacking midfielder to a forward, the team’s requirents for him have also changed.
From a player who assists to a goal-scoring forward.
Peak Ronaldo, among the forwards on this planet, was almost unbeatable. If it weren’t for injuries, he would have been the only king in the world of football.
If you can achieve the peak threshold of three data points from Ronaldo, along with 100% proficiency in three classic dribbles, why should Tang Long worry about not winning the Golden Ball Award or not having the highest salary in the world?
As long as his football skills continue to improve, winning two Golden Ball Awards in his career or getting the world’s highest salary within five years are certainly no problem, and he might even achieve greater accomplishnts!
"Mr. Ronaldo, you were my childhood idol. Those reports from the dia are just unrealistic rumors. Nothing can disrupt the firm cooperation between us."
Tang Long was at ho, giving Ronaldo, who had rushed back from São Paulo to Manchester, a definitive answer face-to-face.
Ronaldo, with reddened eyes, tightly grasped Tang Long’s hand and imdiately took out a new contract from his briefcase.
"Alright, I trust you. Let’s and the contract then!"
In this new contract, the service term for Ronaldo and Tang Long’s agent was extended from four years to six years.
And the penalty for unilaterally breaking the agreent was as high as tens of millions of euros.
Seeing Tang Long sign his na, Ronaldo imdiately made a commitnt to him.
"ndes wants to make you famous, Raiola wants to make you profitable. Don’t worry, Tang, I won’t let you miss out on fa or fortune!"

...
The day after returning to Manchester, Ronaldo rushed to the Manchester City Club to discuss Tang Long’s contract renewal terms.
CEO Belgistan personally hosted Ronaldo and brought Comrcial Director Belada into the eting, sparking secret negotiations among the three.
Manchester City’s managent was very welcoming to Ronaldo’s arrival.
Although Tang Long only joined Manchester City last year and still has four years left on his five-year contract with the team, his performance last season was remarkable, and his display as a forward in the new season has been particularly outstanding!
To keep Tang Long for the long term, Manchester City Club’s top brass knew they had to offer conditions befitting Tang Long’s status.
"My demands are straightforward: Extend the contract from four years to five years, and increase the salary from 180,000 British Pounds weekly to 280,000."
Faced with the terms laid out by Ronaldo, Belgistan said, "Extending the contract by one year is no problem, but a 55% salary increase is too much!"
Belgistan emphasized that even though Manchester City isn’t short of money, they still need to comply with the European Financial Fair Play Regulations to maintain the team’s inco and expenditure balance, or face suspension penalties.
Regarding this statent, Comrcial Director Belada did not express agreent.
But Ronaldo was clearly prepared, directly pointing out:
"Last season Yaya Toure’s salary was 240,000 British Pounds weekly, and he was let go. Also, Fernando, Fernandinho, Sagna—these high-paid veterans have left, freeing up a lot of salary space. So I don’t think increasing Tang Long’s salary will disrupt the financial balance of your club."
"As for suspension, on this issue," Ronaldo chuckled, "I don’t think any sports organization in the football arena can go against the Abu Dhabi Consortium; they’re just too insignificant."
Hearing this, Belgistan and Belada couldn’t help but smile at each other.
"Alright, let’s speak frankly!"
"Currently, the highest paid player in Manchester City is Agüero, at 240,000 British Pounds; Agüero has served the team for many years and is considered a backbone of the team. Tang has only been here for a year, surpassing him in salary would lead to discord within the team."
"So our bottom line is 240,000 British Pounds, no more."
After so back-and-forth, even after three hours, the two parties couldn’t reach any constructive agreent, and thus agreed to talk again another day.
Ronaldo reported the negotiation progress to Tang Long over the phone.
Tang Long was at ho having tea with Dilata.
Since the last ti Tang Long gave her a red bottom, Dilata, who never missed work as the chosen worker, took a day’s leave from the station and lay in bed for a day before recovering.
However, she wasn’t angry~
A strange elent caused a chemical reaction in her brain, and she even started to beco infatuated with the sensation of being spanked.
She also beca much more reserved and no longer made provocative remarks in front of Tang Long.
Yet, she naturally wouldn’t let Tang Long spank her again—just the thought was too embarrassing to voice out.
After hearing Tang Long’s recap, Dilata pondered for a mont and nodded.
"What Manchester City said makes sense; you’ve only been with the team for a year and are not yet 20 years old. If you surpass Agüero in getting the team’s highest salary, even though your skills match, the managent has to consider more aspects, especially at a big club like Manchester City, which is full of stars who might compare themselves to each other, leading to a chain reaction."
Tang Long said, "No problem, getting the sa salary as Agüero is acceptable. He’s still one of the best forwards in the world; he created the 93:20 miracle, helping Manchester City win their first Premier League championship, and he is considered the king of Itihad in the eyes of Manchester City fans."
Dilata chuckled softly and said gently:
"It shows that you’re a mature player if you think like this. But you shouldn’t sell yourself short because, in Guardiola’s mind, your importance to the team is much greater than Agüero’s."
"I actually have an idea."
"Let’s hear it." Tang Long asked.
"The salary is 240,000 British Pounds, sa as Agüero, but you should keep all your image rights, not give 50% to Manchester City."
