Chapter 3

The day after I met Moon Kang-hyun.

Song Jae-jin immediately opened a negotiating table with the Hammers club.

“welcome.”

When we arrived at the Hammers Front, the head of the operation team, Koo Hyun-dong, greeted Song Jae-jin.

‘Hammers Operation Team Leader Hyung-dong’

He was a former Hammers player and was promoted to the position of the management team leader through internal promotion.

‘I can’t see the manager.’

As a general rule, Hammers was a team that revolved around internal personnel.

However, in the case of this general manager, it was known that Hamers was very strict as he was specially recruited for the championship.

‘I’m glad if you’re lucky.’

“Did you get a new takeover?”

“Yes. I was fortunate enough to take over.”

When the new agent, Song Jae-jin, appeared at the negotiating table, Koo Ji-dong understood the situation and nodded.

“You’re busy, so let’s go ahead, shall we?”

“Moon Kang-hyun has a lot of affection for the Hornets. Because he’s from a local secondary school and he’s a local team.”

“Then this gang… .”

“However! It is a situation that is shaken after confirming that the Hornets’ contract is too poor compared to that of Hammers. Even at the meeting yesterday, I didn’t even give an exact answer.”

It was Koo Ji-dong, who was furious from the beginning when Kang-hyeon Moon gave off the nuance that he would not come to Hammers in the first place. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Song Jae-jin cut off Koo Ji-dong’s words as if he had been waiting.

[Moon Kang-hyun thinking about where to go. ‘I feel not appreciated.’]

In the meantime, in the article hinted at by his subordinates, Donghyung decided to remain silent.

“Well… .”

As Song Jae-jin’s words progressed, Koo Ji-dong was quickly tapping into the calculations of the current situation in his head.

There are two shortstops for sale on the FA market right now. Among them, Kang-Hyeon Moon was the best seller.

“Do you know that Moon Kang-hyun’s position is significant?”

Hammers’ shortstop’s performance was so bad that if they were asked to draw the most hole in Hamers’ squad, everyone would say that he was a shortstop.

Hammers Front was silent on the irrefutable question.

Jaejin put on even more momentum and continued the negotiations.

“And Moon Kang-hyun is a player who could be the last piece of the puzzle for Hamers.”

Moreover, Hammers put an offer to Kang-hyeon Moon as soon as the free agency market opened and the negotiation period was over in line with such a situation. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ; . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ;

“Now, let me check one thing here. Is the Hammers contract intact?”

Koo Dong-hyun tapped the desk with his fingertips without opening his mouth.

He remained silent for a moment, then nodded his head and spoke.

“The down payment is 4.5 billion won by adding 500 million won to the down payment. salary is the same. 8.5 billion in total. It is the best we can offer.”

“Okay.”



In the end, it was Donghyun Koo who showed the card to Jaejin’s negotiating table first.

After all, the target of the negotiations was the Hornets, so the negotiation table with Hammers is a disguise.

But he didn’t know when he would sit at the negotiating table with Hammers again while he was an agent, so it was important to finish this table well.

“Okay. Let’s talk to the players.”

“I hope you get good results.”

Jae-jin, who left the lobby after satisfactory negotiations, immediately sent a text message to Kang-hyun Moon about the contract with Hamers.

Shortly after that, a window appeared in my sight.

Wei Ying-

[A call came from the head of the Hornets operation team.]

‘You asked sooner than I thought.’

Song Jae-jin intentionally avoided meeting with the Hornets and set up a negotiation table with Hammers first.

‘At the same time, he secretly leaked information to the Hornets.’

The notification that a call came from the system that had been synchronized with the cell phone came to mind, but Song Jae-jin called again only after he was absent.

“Yes. This is Jaejin Song. I didn’t even know he was calling for work.”

“How did the Moon Kang-hyun negotiations go? Can you do it on time?”

Team 2 director Seo Eun-sang asked Choi Sang-hoon, deputy manager, as if passing by

“Ah. that. Team 1 took it.”

However, at the answer that was different from what he expected, Seo Eun-sang looked at Choi Sang-hoon, wriggling his eyebrows.

“While the difference of opinion with the players was not being narrowed, the first team’s deputy chief Choi Ki-yeon, or no, the manager asked them to take care of it.”

Eunsang Seo listened to the story even though it was absurd to see Choi Sang-hoon who said he liked it when there was nothing else to say.

It was because it was not a simple matter to pass the contract with Moon Kang-hyun.

“I heard that Deputy Manager Song Jae-jin of Team 1 was in charge of handling it.”

“Song Jae-jin?”

And when the word Song Jae-jin, whom he was looking at, came out from Choi Sang-hoon’s mouth, Seo Eun-sang began to draw the current situation, and his impression was frowned upon.

‘After all, you have an accident, Ahn Ki-yeol.’

Jaejin Song and Kiyeol Ahn.

Because it was Seo Eun-sang who knew the relationship between the two, it was thought that Ahn Ki-yeol forced Moon Kang-hyun’s contract to beat Song Jae-jin.

‘Are you sure you’re using a player? This kid is real.’

And apart from that, Eun-sang Seo began to think about how to deal with this pathetic guy who had been talking for a while in front of her.

The first negotiation with the Hornets was to visit Song Jae-jin alone.

First, to show that they are not in a hurry at all.

Second, in order to implicitly reveal that Kang-hyun Moon’s heart is moving with Hammers rather than Hornets.

‘But we end the negotiations here.’

When I finally arrived at the Hornets, I could see how busy the front desk was.

“Nothing has been decided internally about Moon Kang-hyun.”

“We haven’t even set up a negotiating table yet. The Hornets are very important to Moon Kang-hyun.”

At the name of Kang-hyeon Moon, who was busy going up and down, Song Jae-jin smiled with a smile.

‘The atmosphere is good.’

He said hello to the Hornets operations team leader who had met him.

“nice to meet you. This is Moon Kang-hyun’s agent, Song Jae-jin.”

“nice to meet you. Are you a little crazy? I will guide you to where the leader is.”

“Yeah. Thank you.”

When we entered the conference room while chatting about the current situation, Director Kim Do-hyun sat down and waited for Song Jae-jin.

‘Starting general manager Kim Do-hyun.’

The dominant opinion was that the biggest reason for the Hornets to be scorned was General Manager Kim Do-hyun.

He is a parachutist from the company that owns the club. He likes baseball, but he is a complete novice in his talent as a general manager.

Of course, that was also the reason why Kim Do-hyun was chosen as the target for this negotiation.

“Hello. This is Hornets general manager Kim Do-hyun.”

“Good morning. My name is Song Jae-jin, the agent of Kang-hyeon Moon.”

Immediately after greeting, Kim Do-hyun, who had been asking about Moon Kang-hyun’s contract before the meeting, was afraid that the manager would make a mistake, and the operation team leader tried to open his mouth.

“I heard you talked to Hammers about the contract yesterday.”

If it wasn’t for Kim Do-hyeon, the head of the team, who brought up the main topic when Song Jae-jin was afraid to sit down.

“Yeah. He used to go to Hammers.”



“I heard he left pretty quickly… .”

‘I asked.’

“Did you really need to?”

Kim Do-hyun arrogantly said that Moon Kang-hyun had no choice but to sign a contract with the Hornets.

“Isn’t it up to the manager to interpret accordingly?”

‘Send me a text.’

[Hyung, give me the article I mentioned earlier.]

Song Jae-jin smiled and looked at Kim Do-hyun while still texting a reporter he knew through his system.

‘Gives only to Kim Do-hyun.’

It was because he did not have to turn his attention to the operation team leader and interrupt the conversation.

He was also trying to focus the flow of conversation only on himself and Kim Do-hyun.

“If the Hornets are not actively negotiating, isn’t it a basic right of a player to find another team?”

Song Jae-jin adhered to the ambiguous answer and did not erase the smile on his face.

“Another team?”

And he immediately got a reply from the reporter who requested the article.

Text with only a link to the article.

When I put the link on the hologram window, I noticed an article that was burning brightly after not long after it was uploaded.

[A total of 8 billion won for a four-year contract to Hammers Kang-hyun Moon.]

– From Jung Hyun-woo to Moon Kang-hyun?

– This is the national keystone combination line!

– Finally, can we stop watching Kim Seung-woo poop?

– Please come! This year is the winning angle! If only Kang-hyun Moon comes!

[Six-year, 7.2 billion won contract with Hornets Kang-hyun Moon. Amount compared to Hammers.]

– Are you crazy?

– Aren’t you just saying you don’t want to sign a contract?

– Are our fronts crazy now?

– The Hornets Front buys again. Isn’t it the work of director Kim Do-hyun again?

– Kim Do-hyun out! This is because the manager is an asshole

– Right now, there is no substitute for shortstop besides Moon Kang-hyun, but even if Moon Kang-hyun treats him, he sells a hat!

– Ah! Is it Kim Do-hyun again?

[Are you going to move to the Hornets’ star Hammers?][Hammers’ final puzzle to win! Moon Kang-hyun!]

‘Good. Burn up, more lively,’

Even follow-up articles that follow right there.

Kang-hyeon Moon expressed great affection and a sense of belonging to the Hornets, and fans also had the perception that he was a player who would become a franchise of the Hornets.

But what if you want to sign such a player’s contract at a ridiculously low price?

Fans, there is no way to know that Moon Kang-hyun has a sensitive personality and is having a hard time adapting to other teams, so we will only see what we see.

The Hornets Front has no intention of signing a contract with Kang-Hyeon Moon.


‘And the front of the Hornets. To be precise, general manager Kim Do-hyun is under pressure from public opinion. This is the key.’

It was at that time that Song Jae-jin was satisfied as things went as planned.

The manager of the operation team looked at the vibrating cell phone and looked disappointed.

In order to hide the raised corners of his lips, Jaejin briefly covered his face with papers and adjusted his expression.

“Then, can I know that the Hornets have no intention of signing a contract with Kang-hyun Moon?”

“Hey. Why? Isn’t there such a thing as negotiating to narrow that difference of opinion?”

As he made a gesture to get up while organizing the documents, the manager of the operation team dissuaded Song Jae-jin and hurriedly held out his cell phone to Kim Do-hyun.

Director Kim Do-hyun, who saw the article and the ripple soon after, frowned and tapped his knee with his fingertips when things went strangely.

“This article. Is it a World Tree piece?”

The question of Kim Do-hyun, who had lost his time a while ago. Song Jae-jin smiled at him and tilted his head.

“Reporters these days are so fast. I don’t know when this leaked again.”

“Hammers offered 8.5 billion won. Is it real?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“If you ask that, you can assume that there will be changes to the contract the Hornets offered, right? Ah. Please note that there is an error in the article. 8 billion is the amount before the last meeting. Hammers’ final amount was 8.5 billion.”

Then, Song Jae-jin smiled and made eye contact with Director Kim Do-hyun.

Kim Do-hyun clenched his teeth as if resentful at Jae-jin’s remarks.

‘Kim Do-hyun is the youngest member of the owner family. As expected, it is difficult for the management team leader to easily object to Kim’s opinion.’

“The contract period is 6 years and the down payment is 4 billion won. 8 million per year.”

Director Kim Do-hyun’s reply followed.

However, Song Jae-jin was just nauseous.

“It’s only 300 million more than Hammers.”

“It’s only 300 million.”

“It’s only three billion. Hammers and Hornets have a two-year contract difference.”

“From that point of view, isn’t Moon Kang-hyun trying to stay here because it’s hard to adapt to other teams?”

“Who is it? Are you Kang-hyun Moon?”

Song Jae-jin asked again with an absurd expression, as if hearing it for the first time.

“surely. Really?”

“I’m sorry, but Kang-hyun Moon is very disappointed in the Hornets’ poor treatment.”

After that, Song Jae-jin paused for a moment and then spoke with strong force.

“He would never have thought that what he hoped to leave behind from wanting to become a franchise star for his favorite team would come back as a result of being neglected in this way.”

distortion of speech. Anyway, now the manager of the operation team is restless and Kim Do-hyun is listening to what he has to say.

Song Jae-jin emphasized to Kim Do-hyun by slightly twisting the information that Moon Kang-hyun is difficult to adapt to in other teams.

“And it’s easy to adapt to the Hornets, isn’t it? I played for the Hornets for several years. Besides, if you go to a new team, it’s natural to have to adjust to a new one… . There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding in what the manager said.”

Kim Do-hyun frowned and looked at the operation team leader.

“The contract period is 6 years, the down payment is 4 billion won, and the annual salary is 900 million won.”

“What? Isn’t that too much of a condition?”

“It’s too much. If the Hornets and Moon Kang-hyun are missing now, is there a player who can replace the shortstop position? The contract period, the down payment is the same, and the annual salary is 1 billion won.”

Song Jae-jin did not stop and raised the amount once again.

“No, where are you doing something like that all of a sudden?”

The operation team leader opened his mouth, but Song Jae-jin did not take his eyes off Kim Do-hyun.

“I do not know. I wonder if the Hornets are willing to move forward with this deal. To think that Moon Kang-hyun is not worth this much.”

He had an expressionless attitude as if he didn’t care if the negotiation broke out here.

At this point, it was Kim Do-hyun who started to get impatient.

“We also want to work with Moon Kang-hyun for a long time, so we want a six-year contract, don’t we?”

‘A little more bittersweet.’

I do not know Kim Do-hyun or the manager of the operation team, but Song Jae-jin’s appearance was thoroughly planned to lead the negotiations to an advantage.

“To be precise, a six-year contract is a contract that the club can benefit from, but wouldn’t it be beneficial for the player to get the free agent status again after four years? Speaking of which, why not leave the amount unchanged and modify his contract period to 4 years?”

Even the head of the operation team began to be drawn to Song Jae-jin, unable to find a clue to resolve the already dried up negotiations.

“The contract period is 4 years and the down payment is 4 billion won. 11 million per year.”

And Song Jae-jin was convinced that Kim Do-hyun and the operation team leader both couldn’t answer his words and hesitated.

‘The flow has passed. Now I have to push myself more so that I don’t think of anything else.’
