Chapter 251 The old and the young join forces to set off a huge wave
After watching the Champions League, Chen Xiaoliang and Shen Mengyu had lunch in Paris the next day, and then one returned to Glasgow, while the other embarked on a journey back home.
After 13 hours of flying wearing a mask, sunglasses and a hat, and asking the captain and flight attendant to keep his identity secret to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chen Xiaoliang finally set foot on the land of his hometown.
He didn't tell his parents that he would come back in advance, and wanted to give them a surprise, but the result was exactly as he expected, the mother was so happy that she almost cried.
No matter how old or promising a child is, wherever he goes, he will be a piece of meat from his mother. How can he not feel distressed? Call his father quickly to let him come back from get off work early.
Seeing her son, Chen's mother kept looking up and down.
However, she soon became a little lost.
Mother Chen: "Aren't you happy enough?"
Chen Xiaoliang: "What's not enough fun?"
Chen's mother pursed her mouth in disgust: "I told you last time when I went to Glasgow, female senior five, old mother Sai, and female senior six, don't have enough fun. Isn't she 6 years older than you?"
Chen Xiaoliang: "..."
Chen's mother: "My father and I have discussed it a long time ago. Let's be older. I saw the little girl, she is very good at taking care of others, and the German foreigners are also very good. If you have a child in the future, you will be of mixed race. Damn it!"
Chen Xiaoliang: "..."
Chen's mother: "Oh, she is very sensible. She will often take some photos of you and send them to us. It doesn't look like you. She doesn't think of us at all when she is busy."
Chen Xiaoliang: "What? She has your contact information? She often sends photos?"
Mother Chen: "That's for sure, here."
As Mother Chen spoke, she turned on her phone and flipped through the photos that Helena had sent her over the past year.
"How can I rest assured that you are outside alone? She can speak Chinese and is with you every day. Of course I want to contact her every day."
Chen Xiaoliang: "..."
Mother Chen looked around again, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Is there any news to tell us when you come back this time?"
Chen Xiaoliang: "Come back and accompany you to move into your new home, and accompany you by the way."
Mother Chen: "No good news?"
Chen Xiaoliang thought for a while: "I have won a few awards, and the Serie A season is the most..."
Chen's mother: "Who wants to listen to your football matters! Little girl, that, huh? Is there any movement?" After speaking, Chen's mother stretched out her hand and gesticulated twice on her stomach.
Chen Xiaoliang: "No! Where are you thinking? I just turned 18, and you want me to be your father? Be careful, I like being a father!"
Chen's mother once again showed a disgusted look: "Is it happy to be a father... You should pay attention to rest, don't be too tired from the competition, I see that your health is not good, and you haven't moved for so long... Really, this Come back next time to make up for you."
This night, until Chen's father came home, Chen Xiaoliang basically spent in blissful silence.
Although his mother was very nagging, in the villas in the wealthy area near the Trigolia base, in the hotels where he hastily stayed all over Italy and various European countries, these nagging are what he always remembers and often looks forward to.
In an era when there is no need to worry about food and clothing, and there is no need to make repeated preparations when traveling far away, these nagging are the threads in the hands of a loving mother, and the tight seams on the body of a wanderer.
Father Chen was surprised and delighted when he came back. He always liked football. After his son became a star, he never missed a game in Rome. .
However, when Chen Xiaoliang came back this time, besides accompanying them to move into their new home, there was another public event to participate in.
The Olympic committees of several European countries visited the red country to strengthen sports cooperation. As the most famous player in the red country in Europe and the only player who played in the five major leagues, just like Yao Ming who played in the United States back then, Chen Xiaoliang participated in the famous sports competition between the two sides. An exchange event for athletes, of course, and the only football player from the Red Country to participate in this event
And this invitation was not through others, it was the Red Country sports circle who conveyed it through Boss Wu, wanting Chen Xiaoliang to make an appearance.
The European Olympic Committee came here for one thing. The 2024 Olympic Games will be held in Paris. As one of the most important sports countries in the world, the red country is naturally the most important market.
Due to insufficient production capacity, the price of natural gas has soared 6-10 times in different European countries in just three months, which not only caused economic chaos, but also affected the preparations for the Olympic Games.
Compared with natural gas transported across the Atlantic from the United States, Algeria's distance advantage on the southern coast of the Mediterranean makes its transportation costs to Europe much lower than that of the United States.
Now a cargo ship full of liquefied natural gas storage tanks departs from Algiers and unloads in Naples, which can bring a net profit of 4000 million euros to the joint venture between Boss Wu and Xiaoliang Chen.
Although the output and transportation volume are not as good as the large-scale centralized procurement in the United States, and the selling price of Mr. Wu is also slightly lower, this is still the moment when the profit of natural gas is the highest in history.
In three months, excluding the initial acquisition cost, Chen Xiaoliang has earned 2000 million euros, and this is only when he holds 10% of the shares.
Boss Wu, who holds 90% of the shares, has made a lot of money.
This made Boss Wu, who is the successor of the Hong Kong ship king's family, look at Chen Xiaoliang with admiration, and even asked him several times, "What do parents do?"
Which ordinary people can know that Russia and Ukraine are about to break out of war half a year in advance and then deploy natural gas in advance?
Because of this, Boss Wu has completely regarded this football-playing junior as a hard-core ally.
This kind of ability to plan ahead and build quickly is the characteristic of the hardworking people of the Red Country. Naturally, the Olympic Committee also wants to cooperate with the Red Country to speed up the construction of venues.
Boss Wu, who is a bigwig in Hong Kong shipping and holds a lot of shares in Mediterranean shipping, naturally became an indispensable figure in this Olympic preparation exchange.
The European side hopes to further strengthen cooperation, not only wants to expand the market, but also wants the red country to provide cheap, high-quality and efficient construction solutions.
Chen Xiaoliang naturally became the most perfect mascot for such a friendly negotiation occasion.
And this is also a task that he will undertake sooner or later after his influence continues to grow.
So after staying at home for three weeks, moving with his parents, chatting, and settling in, he bid farewell to his reluctant parents and went to the imperial capital in a low-key manner.
In the great hall, Chen Xiaoliang saw so many athletes for the first time, including many Olympic gold medalists, all top figures in their respective fields.
However, he who can calmly focus on himself under the shouts of tens of thousands of people, how could he be frightened by such a scene.
Zhongyang TV also broadcast this piece of news in the evening news broadcast, and also specially put on the scene of Chen Xiaoliang communicating with foreign athletes.
It doesn't matter if it's released, the fans of the Red Country will be excited.
【What?Xiao Liang has returned home? 】
[Why does no one know?What is he doing back here? 】
[You are stupid upstairs, didn’t the news broadcast tell you why he came back...]
[Fuck, I'm worried that those grandchildren from the Football Association will find him]
[If you want to find them, you have already searched for them. Didn't you slap them in the face if you found them?]
【Could it be a falling out with Rome? 】
...
Overnight, all kinds of discussions and speculations spread in the domestic football circle.
And the three presidents of the Football Association were also very nervous.
Why did no one come to inform us in advance that this kid is attending such an important diplomatic event?
President Cheng hurriedly asked Vice President Xu to contact Director Zhu who is stationed in Europe.
Director Zhu vowed to report to them, saying that he and Chen Xiaoliang's agent called each other brothers, and that "things" were going well, and that Chen Xiaoliang would definitely cooperate with the Football Association's request.
The three presidents were dumbfounded. In the past few years, Director Zhu has been staring at Europe, and he has contributed a lot, and he has made great contributions. He is definitely a good player in terms of ability, especially President Cheng, who has more trust in him. .
Several times I led the team to go abroad for vacation in the name of going to Europe to investigate advanced football. It was all arranged and taken care of by Director Zhu. Not only was the schedule full during the day and the content was rich, but he also played cards with President Cheng at night. He was absolutely confidant and capable. go-getters.
There should be no problem with what he reported, but what happened this time was really unreasonable, and it still made them uneasy.
That's right, the three of them were really worried.
But this is precisely the special sensitivity of people with ghosts in their hearts.
The former Chen Xiaoliang didn't want to wade into this muddy water, so he chose to laugh it off after meeting Director Zhu for the first time when he was a homeless person, and they didn't offend each other.
I kick mine, you grab yours, out of sight is out of mind.
But later things changed him little by little.
He saw 15-year-olds playing match-fixing just to achieve some so-called "balance";
He has seen that every time the media reports on Wu Lei's development in Europe, no matter how hard it is for him and how hard he works, there will always be people who will ridicule him below, just because he is a member of the national football team that is despised by thousands of people;
He saw that when the self-media that maliciously created traffic said that he was going to be recruited by the national football team, a large number of fans came out to object, saying that as soon as he joined the national football team, he would help the bad guys and be ruined immediately;
He saw those players who did not want to sink in the messy environment of the Red Country football, but chose to study abroad to play in some small leagues, but what they got was not blessings, but malicious coldness.
Coupled with the fact that share reform, neutral names, retirement after winning the championship, and other unimaginable things happened, maybe some of them had good intentions, but almost all of them were screwed up in the end.
He finally decided to do something, not to change the above, which is not something a player in Europe can change.
But only for those children who have traveled across the ocean to Scotland to participate in youth training under their own help, and may go to Spain for further studies in the future, so that they will not encounter the same thing in the future.
I will no longer become a shame on the Internet that cannot be washed away for a lifetime just because I am a male football player of the Red Country, just like the golden seal on the face of a Liangshan hero;
It is no longer necessary to do things that violate conscience and the law in accordance with the greetings and instructions of certain people in order to be able to kick down;
I will no longer be replaced by others because I have the strength to enter a better platform, but because I didn't spend money to buy a relationship.
He didn't want to pay for it, but what he saw in the end was those clear eyes full of dreams. After returning to the football environment of the Red Country, after two or three years, they became confused and muddy.
He thought for a long time, just buying a fourth-tier team in Spain is not enough to protect those small players.
So he finally took the step, with Riese's help, with Boss Oh's help.
Director Zhu has been in contact with Riise for more than a year. The Football Association, which is on the cusp of the storm, naturally hopes to have a relationship with the increasingly dazzling Chen Xiaoliang in order to shift the focus and reduce its negative evaluation.
But they, who had already accumulated so much, were still hesitant to talk at first, but under Riise's premeditated approach, advances, gifts, and treats, they finally passed Director Zhu's test, which made him let go of his guard and gradually spoke out. their rules of the game.
In view of Chen Xiaoliang's fame and strength, he does not need to pay "registration fees" for cooperation with the national team, but in terms of domestic portrait rights, broadcast rights, and product distribution, he must sign a contract with the brokerage company designated by the head coach.
Director Zhu said to Riise: "At this point, except for a few players who are greeted by the president personally as 'special affairs and special affairs', the vast majority of players operate in this way. If it is because they played well in Europe, It can become a special case of non-payment. Even if the president agrees, you must not be crowded out by other players after joining the team. You have been on the football team for so long. You must understand that the locker room must be harmonious, yes Bar?"
Of course, Director Zhu won't let Li Sebai be busy. After the matter is completed, he will give him [-]% of the profit, as a reward for his hospitality these days, and as a guarantee for long-term cooperation in the future.
Riise knew that this was to drag him onto the pirate ship and become an accomplice of interests.
Seeing Riise's slightly uneasy expression, Director Zhu patted his chest confidently: "The contract is signed, and I will handle the rest."
Despite the psychological preparation in advance, Riise asked in surprise, "This, can this work?"
Director Zhu smiled slightly: "Okay. Heaven knows, Earth knows, you know, I know, President Cheng knows."
Riise was stunned, a strong man who has played football for half his life, how has he ever played this kind of game?
Director Zhu showed a confident and conceited expression: "Rise, we can't just keep growing. We must learn to see the big picture. How many Chen Xiaoliangs can we have? There is only one in the whole red country, the whole of Europe, and even the whole world. In addition, how many big contracts can you represent? After cooperating with us, you can handle all the small players who will be sent to Europe in the future.”
Afterwards, Director Zhu said a sentence full of classic wisdom that seemed to be immersed in the system for decades.
"If you don't take it, how can I get it? If I don't take it, how will President Cheng get it? If President Cheng doesn't take it, how can we make progress. Let's hurry up and sign the contract, the sooner the better."
Riser nodded, and kept scolding Chen Xiaoliang for cheating himself in his heart, but at the same time felt that this kind of undercover game was too exciting!
Director Zhu quickly printed out the contract and sent an electronic version, and asked Riise to call Coach Li of the national team.
Coach Li explained the contents of the contract in detail in his English with a local accent, and he did not forget to thank Riser for his cooperation.
Riise said that he was only an agent, and he had to take the contract back to Chen Xiaoliang to sign it himself.
Seeing that he hesitated, Director Zhu released another big move:
"Brother, there is one thing you may not understand. In our country, to be a coach and open a football school, you need to apply for a certificate. This is the same as yours in Europe. Aren't coaches also divided into three levels of ABC certificates?"
"We all know that you have brought so many children from the Red Country, and the presidents are also very clear. Logically speaking, they can stop what you are doing with a single word. Those children Of course I can't get out."
"Do you think that the players registered with us are directly brought to the UK for training without going through us at all. Is this compliant? This is unlicensed teaching, which is obviously not compliant."
"Even... even if he is Godzilla... that homeless club is a big club, but he didn't get a license from the Football Association, we can say that he is teaching without a license, even if Real Madrid comes, he still needs to get a license."
"The chairman and coach Li are also focusing on the future and hope to cooperate with you for a long time, so they are very accommodating. They turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. They make big things small and small things small. This is also showing their sincerity."
Riise nodded furiously, he had already collected enough things, he just wanted to get out of this filthy, disgusting room right away, right away, right away.
For this reason, he had to continue acting: "Brother Zhu, don't worry, I will cooperate well."
In fact, Riise's acting skills are not good at all, but the reason why Chen Xiaoliang let him out is because of his naturally fierce face like a pirate leader, and his smile is scarier than not smiling, which can fully cover up his flaws in acting.
Back home in Rome, Chen Xiaoliang heard all the recordings, and saw those contracts and chat records, feeling both happy and sad.
At that moment, a sentence repeatedly lingered in his mind:
I was afraid of ghosts when I was a child, because they were hideous and terrifying;
When they grow up, they are afraid of people because they are well-dressed.
After his success in the natural gas business, he found an opportunity to meet Boss Wu who was on a business trip to Rome.
He told his thoughts to this ultra-rich man who is very deep in the city, extremely smart, and smart enough to take over the family business for generations from the old ship king as his son-in-law.
But at the same time, he is also a veteran and passionate sports fan, especially football.
Boss Wu's heart is the same as that of Chen Xiaoliang back then, he doesn't want to go into the muddy water that has nothing to do with him.
But the love for football in his heart, especially the sorrow for the current situation of football in the red country, has always given him the urge to do something.
In the end, it was the words of his daughter Wu Mi who was married to a wife that touched him.
Whether it is the old ship king or the current Boss Wu, they have worked hard and paid for the family's business empire all their lives, and even married their precious daughter to another super wealthy family to achieve a strong marriage.
But in fact, Boss Wu is also very painful. He knows that he sacrificed his daughter's happiness and forcibly extinguished her impulse for love.
But now, the sincere and idealistic eyes of the young man in front of him stirred up waves in his heart.
Born in 1956, he is already 66 years old, and half of his body has already entered the coffin. Before he is completely old, help this young man to do an idealistic thing and wade through the muddy water for the things he likes. so what?
What's more, with his status, those scumbags can't hurt him at all.
He also knew that he hadn't done similar things all this time, not because he was worried that he didn't have the ability, but because he was worried that nothing would go away in the end, and what he would meet was just another disappointment.
Thinking of this, Boss Wu's expression changed. He told Chen Xiaoliang that he would directly report this matter to the higher authorities in his name.
This is also the scope that he can cover as a link figure in the sports circles of the two countries, although he has never been an athlete.
So, taking advantage of participating in the Olympic Committee activities in the capital, he reported the matter to the sports authorities in detail.
Before handing over the evidence, Boss Wu asked his confidants to do technical processing in advance to eliminate the content related to Chen Xiaoliang and Riise.
At the end of the matter, he got a very specific and positive response from the relevant departments.
"Strict investigation to the end, no tolerance!"
Relevant departments stated that they will spend a period of time to fully collect evidence, and then dig out the entire chain, arresting and withdrawing, not just targeting one or two people.
The entire process from report to reply took only three days.
But these three days were simply the most nervous and restless for Boss Wu.
Finally, when parting from Chen Xiaoliang and preparing to go back to their respective lives, this business legend who is also a teacher and friend patted him on the shoulder, handed him a beautifully printed envelope, and let him board the plane back to Rome look again.
Chen Xiaoliang kept the promise and opened it after getting into the cabin.
Inside was a letter, a meaningful sentence written in English and pen:
"I've never been sorry to anyone in my life, except my daughter. I know he likes you very much. To be honest, I like you too."
"But the reality is that there is no possibility, and the choices made cannot be changed."
"So I never said these things to her."
"You are a very smart person. I am very optimistic about you. I was far inferior to you when I was 18 years old. I also hope that when you reach my age, you can still far surpass me."
"This time, you made me feel years younger, which is very good."
"Next time, I hope that when we meet in Europe, you will allow me to meet a more mature version of you."
The signature is still his English name: Pete Wu.
Chen Xiaoliang treasured this letter very solemnly.
However, his goal is not to surpass a wealthy businessman who can rank in the top 100 on the Forbes wealth list. His goal is to be the champion, especially the champion of the new season that is about to start, and all the champions that will follow!
But before that, he had one more thing to do urgently.
After getting off the plane, he drove home by himself. The offseason was only a few days away, and he didn't terminate David's vacation early.
But when he returned to the residence, a familiar figure was already waiting there.
"Are you back? Are you hungry? Hurry up and eat, everything is ready."
After knowing that Chen Xiaoliang was coming back, Helena returned to Rome ahead of schedule. At this moment, she took his hand and went into the house, and reached out to carry his luggage.
After Chen Xiaoliang entered the room, he put down his luggage, held her hand, and said what he had been wanting to say to Helena face to face for the past few weeks:
"My mother told me all about it, but I didn't even find out."
Helena was holding both hands by him, blushing and puzzled.
"Sometimes I go out to play and you take a picture of my back for them."
"Sometimes when I go home after a game, I'm so tired that I go to bed without taking a shower. You will help me cover the quilt and report to them that I'm safe."
"Sometimes I've done a couple of interviews, and you'll download them, edit them and send them to them."
"Sometimes it's just the weekend I finish eating your dinner and you're happy to take a picture and tell them."
"And a lot of times, when I go to an away game and I'm not at home for a few days, you'll take a screenshot of the game and send it to them and tell them I'm not injured and the game went well."
When Chen Xiaoliang said this, his eyes were completely red.
So is Helena.
"Why do you tell them everything?"
After Chen Xiaoliang said this seemingly reproachfully, both of them laughed again. This smile shook the tears in their eyes.
"You've done so much, why didn't you tell me?"
After saying this, the two embraced tightly.
After a while, they wiped away their tears and sat down to eat.
Chen Xiaoliang asked, "How is Grandpa?"
Helena nodded: "He is very good, he asked me to persuade you to go to Bayern."
Chen Xiaoliang: "Hahaha, should I go?"
Helena: "If you don't go, don't go. Anyway, grandpa doesn't lead the team now. If he is still the head coach, I will definitely let you go."
Chen Xiaoliang: "Well... if he is still coaching, I don't need you to tell me, I am willing to go, just like Sir Alex Ferguson, if he is still coaching Manchester United, even if he doesn't pay, I will accept the contract he offers me."
Afterwards, Chen Xiaoliang snapped: "Then what if I go to Real Madrid?"
Helena pretended to be angry on purpose: "You go, I will go back to Germany after you go, you and David can go live."
Chen Xiaoliang laughed loudly, and gave Helena a kiss: "No, no, what about Barcelona?"
Helena: "It's okay... After you go, you have to beat Real Madrid."
Chen Xiaoliang: "Then Liverpool can do it too? They have met Real Madrid with 6 losses and 5 draw in the last 1 times. If I go, they will win."
Helena pouted: "Will you go? You don't pretend to be Liverpool, do you?"
Chen Xiaoliang chuckled: "I was discovered by you, I pretended to be you."
Helena blushed: "Who taught you that? It's so dirty..."
The two had a good time, and after cleaning up the dishes together, Chen Xiaoliang sent a text message to Mourinho:
"Coach, I'm back in Rome!"
Mourinho replied almost instantly: "I just came back? I haven't left! Come to the base tomorrow to meet me."
In the morning of the next day, Chen Xiaoliang drove to the Trigoria Base, which he hadn't seen for a few days, but felt like he hadn't seen him for a long time.
It's really like not seeing each other in a day, like three autumns.
Mourinho saw his lover walk in in the office, put down what he was doing and went out to greet him.
The two each made a cup of coffee and sat down. Mourinho told Chen Xiaoliang about the current situation of the club.
Kvaratsheria has already received the club's medical examination, and the club has also found him a house, but because his income is not very high, although he is also in the Trigoria area, it is a little farther away.
Dybala and Belotti are both talking, and they have a strong will, and the talks with the original club have also collapsed. Now the only obstacle is the salary, but Mourinho feels that if it is delayed, there should be good results. result.
The loan of Wijnaldum has been negotiated, the player will come to Rome after the holiday, and he will live in the villa where Wu Lei lived, so Mourinho hopes that Chen Xiaoliang can walk more with him by then, after all Is next season's midfield partner.
Enzo has also negotiated, and the transfer has already been completed. In the filings of FIFA, UEFA and Italian Football Association, he is already a player of Roma.
But this is the first time he went to Europe to play football, he has to deal with some family affairs in Argentina, and he will fly over to join the team a few days later.
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoliang was very happy, which means that the three lines of the team will be strengthened next season.
wrong…
Not three lines, but two.
Sure enough, Mourinho frowned slightly, and continued: "But we still can't find a good central defender, which is a headache. According to reason, the window is not officially opened, but the time of two months is very fast, and August 6 is fleeting, not to mention that after the league starts in August, I don’t have enough time to participate in transfer negotiations.”
Chen Xiaoliang knew that this was Mourinho asking for help. He tentatively said a few names:
"Lisandro Martinez?"
Mourinho shook his head: "This Argentine is not bad, but Manchester United has already made an offer, 5737 million euros, and Ajax has also accepted it. The player's agent told us directly that even if Roma matched the same offer, they even gave a double offer. Double the annual salary, he will still only go to Manchester United to reunite with Ten Hag."
Chen Xiaoliang: "Another Ajax defender, Edson Alvarez?"
Mourinho: "We have also contacted, Ajax, no, Van der Sar, their director of football said that they have decided to sell one of the main central defenders, and they will not sell another one. , if we really want this Mexican, we can take him for 8700 million euros."
After speaking, he spread his hands.
Chen Xiaoliang continued: "Atalanta's Turkish central defender..."
Before he finished speaking, Mourinho said: "Demiral, Gasperini said, 5500 million will be taken away. Believe me, he is not worth the price, and I will take 3500 million. "
Uh…
Chen Xiaoliang was speechless for a while, but he didn't give up: "Nico Schlotbeck from Dortmund?"
After finishing speaking, he himself regretted it. The players in the black shop said what he was doing...
Mourinho: "They are willing to sell, 9800 million euros, why don't you buy it?"
Sure enough, it's a black shop...I'm addicted to selling Harland.
Chen Xiaoliang thought about it for a while this time: "Try Fu An Jianyang from Arsenal?"
Mourinho sneered helplessly: "Arteta said that the Japanese is not for sale and is an important player in the new season."
Fuck... Brother Tazi has a set... Not for sale are out...
Chen Xiaoliang: "Try Lindelof of Manchester United? Although he may not be outstanding, he should be able to form a healthy competition with the existing players when he comes to the team."
Chen Xiaoliang said him because Lindelof was introduced by Mourinho when he was at Manchester United.
Mourinho nodded: "I know this guy well. I asked his agent. Manchester United is willing to sell it for about 3500 million euros, but the player doesn't want to leave. After all, his current weekly salary is 12 pounds, which is about 13.5. Euros, the cost is too high and it will psychologically unbalance the defenders we have here."
Chen Xiaoliang's eyes suddenly lit up: "There is a person! Visa-free! Roman Seth of the Wolves!"
Mourinho was also excited: "Yes! This person can do it!"
He immediately called Pinto.
The Wolves have many Portuguese players, and they are all represented by Mourinho's agent Mendes.
The Moroccan captain has rich experience. Although the 32-year-old is a bit older, it is quite affordable and practical to come here without a visa to play for 2-3 seasons.
Just 3 minutes after hanging up the phone, Pinto called back, and Mourinho looked disappointed:
"The man has already been signed by Besiktas."
Chen Xiaoliang touched his head speechlessly: "Coach, how much budget can we spend?"
Mourinho: "6000 million euros."
Chen Xiaoliang narrowed his eyes and looked at Mourinho: "Can we be more sincere?"
Mourinho laughed: "4500 million euros."
Chen Xiaoliang knew that Mourinho deliberately exaggerated because he was afraid that he would not give more good suggestions because he felt that the budget was not enough.
If there were really 6000 million euros, he would have already bought someone and would wait until today.
Chen Xiaoliang: "That's up to 3500 million euros, coach, let's not slap our faces and pretend to be fat. I can't think of a suitable person for this price, unless I go somewhere to buy a cheap one and forcefully scratch the lottery ticket."
"Because your requirement is a practical player who can fight and win, instead of buying a young man to train for 1-2 years and then entrusting him with important tasks."
"So, I suggest renting one."
Mourinho: "Rent? But the central defender has always been my heart, and I still want to solve the problem once."
Chen Xiaoliang: "I have a very good candidate. This person cannot be bought, but he can be rented for a little more money. We may set some buyout clauses, and then use a successful season to try to keep him. Heart, so that he might be able to keep him at the end of the season."
Mourinho: "Tell me, who is it?"
Chen Xiaoliang: "Gwadiol, a Croatian, from Leipzig Red Bull, is only 20 years old."
Mourinho has heard of the man but is not too familiar with it:
"20? Is that okay? You said just now that I don't want young people to exercise."
Chen Xiaoliang: "Okay boss, he's a lunatic, he's going crazy."
Mourinho also narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Xiaoliang: "Is Riise representing him?"
Chen Xiaoliang: "I think so too! Of course not! How could Red Bull let their own players be represented by outsiders? Cesco was fooled by Red Bull Salzburg for a long time before he came here."
Mourinho: "How do you know he's crazy?"
Chen Xiaoliang: "I..."
"I've watched countless movies and read countless people, Boss!"
Mourinho: "No other recommendations?"
Chen Xiaoliang: "No, coach, what you want is someone who can help you win the championship. I also aim to win the championship. It's useless to buy cheap cats and dogs. It's better to practice Kumbra more."
Mourinho: "Hey, our captain seems to have the potential to be a head coach, and he has already started training planning. I asked Pinto to ask quickly and send me a scout report. Who is this man? It's not really as hanging as you said."
Chen Xiaoliang thought to himself, Dior is in his name, and he was born with it, so of course he hangs up.
Thanks to the club's chief director [Yu Qingfeng] for the 2 monthly tickets!
Thanks to the executive director of the club [I am still the boy who charged money] for his great sponsorship!
I have something to do tomorrow, and I will change it early overnight today.
In the last chapter of this story, some people may hate certain words, but I can't vomit.
I also hope that this chapter will not be "disappeared" because of some content and nouns.
Next is the new season!
(End of this chapter)
After watching the Champions League, Chen Xiaoliang and Shen Mengyu had lunch in Paris the next day, and then one returned to Glasgow, while the other embarked on a journey back home.
After 13 hours of flying wearing a mask, sunglasses and a hat, and asking the captain and flight attendant to keep his identity secret to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chen Xiaoliang finally set foot on the land of his hometown.
He didn't tell his parents that he would come back in advance, and wanted to give them a surprise, but the result was exactly as he expected, the mother was so happy that she almost cried.
No matter how old or promising a child is, wherever he goes, he will be a piece of meat from his mother. How can he not feel distressed? Call his father quickly to let him come back from get off work early.
Seeing her son, Chen's mother kept looking up and down.
However, she soon became a little lost.
Mother Chen: "Aren't you happy enough?"
Chen Xiaoliang: "What's not enough fun?"
Chen's mother pursed her mouth in disgust: "I told you last time when I went to Glasgow, female senior five, old mother Sai, and female senior six, don't have enough fun. Isn't she 6 years older than you?"
Chen Xiaoliang: "..."
Chen's mother: "My father and I have discussed it a long time ago. Let's be older. I saw the little girl, she is very good at taking care of others, and the German foreigners are also very good. If you have a child in the future, you will be of mixed race. Damn it!"
Chen Xiaoliang: "..."
Chen's mother: "Oh, she is very sensible. She will often take some photos of you and send them to us. It doesn't look like you. She doesn't think of us at all when she is busy."
Chen Xiaoliang: "What? She has your contact information? She often sends photos?"
Mother Chen: "That's for sure, here."
As Mother Chen spoke, she turned on her phone and flipped through the photos that Helena had sent her over the past year.
"How can I rest assured that you are outside alone? She can speak Chinese and is with you every day. Of course I want to contact her every day."
Chen Xiaoliang: "..."
Mother Chen looked around again, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Is there any news to tell us when you come back this time?"
Chen Xiaoliang: "Come back and accompany you to move into your new home, and accompany you by the way."
Mother Chen: "No good news?"
Chen Xiaoliang thought for a while: "I have won a few awards, and the Serie A season is the most..."
Chen's mother: "Who wants to listen to your football matters! Little girl, that, huh? Is there any movement?" After speaking, Chen's mother stretched out her hand and gesticulated twice on her stomach.
Chen Xiaoliang: "No! Where are you thinking? I just turned 18, and you want me to be your father? Be careful, I like being a father!"
Chen's mother once again showed a disgusted look: "Is it happy to be a father... You should pay attention to rest, don't be too tired from the competition, I see that your health is not good, and you haven't moved for so long... Really, this Come back next time to make up for you."
This night, until Chen's father came home, Chen Xiaoliang basically spent in blissful silence.
Although his mother was very nagging, in the villas in the wealthy area near the Trigolia base, in the hotels where he hastily stayed all over Italy and various European countries, these nagging are what he always remembers and often looks forward to.
In an era when there is no need to worry about food and clothing, and there is no need to make repeated preparations when traveling far away, these nagging are the threads in the hands of a loving mother, and the tight seams on the body of a wanderer.
Father Chen was surprised and delighted when he came back. He always liked football. After his son became a star, he never missed a game in Rome. .
However, when Chen Xiaoliang came back this time, besides accompanying them to move into their new home, there was another public event to participate in.
The Olympic committees of several European countries visited the red country to strengthen sports cooperation. As the most famous player in the red country in Europe and the only player who played in the five major leagues, just like Yao Ming who played in the United States back then, Chen Xiaoliang participated in the famous sports competition between the two sides. An exchange event for athletes, of course, and the only football player from the Red Country to participate in this event
And this invitation was not through others, it was the Red Country sports circle who conveyed it through Boss Wu, wanting Chen Xiaoliang to make an appearance.
The European Olympic Committee came here for one thing. The 2024 Olympic Games will be held in Paris. As one of the most important sports countries in the world, the red country is naturally the most important market.
Due to insufficient production capacity, the price of natural gas has soared 6-10 times in different European countries in just three months, which not only caused economic chaos, but also affected the preparations for the Olympic Games.
Compared with natural gas transported across the Atlantic from the United States, Algeria's distance advantage on the southern coast of the Mediterranean makes its transportation costs to Europe much lower than that of the United States.
Now a cargo ship full of liquefied natural gas storage tanks departs from Algiers and unloads in Naples, which can bring a net profit of 4000 million euros to the joint venture between Boss Wu and Xiaoliang Chen.
Although the output and transportation volume are not as good as the large-scale centralized procurement in the United States, and the selling price of Mr. Wu is also slightly lower, this is still the moment when the profit of natural gas is the highest in history.
In three months, excluding the initial acquisition cost, Chen Xiaoliang has earned 2000 million euros, and this is only when he holds 10% of the shares.
Boss Wu, who holds 90% of the shares, has made a lot of money.
This made Boss Wu, who is the successor of the Hong Kong ship king's family, look at Chen Xiaoliang with admiration, and even asked him several times, "What do parents do?"
Which ordinary people can know that Russia and Ukraine are about to break out of war half a year in advance and then deploy natural gas in advance?
Because of this, Boss Wu has completely regarded this football-playing junior as a hard-core ally.
This kind of ability to plan ahead and build quickly is the characteristic of the hardworking people of the Red Country. Naturally, the Olympic Committee also wants to cooperate with the Red Country to speed up the construction of venues.
Boss Wu, who is a bigwig in Hong Kong shipping and holds a lot of shares in Mediterranean shipping, naturally became an indispensable figure in this Olympic preparation exchange.
The European side hopes to further strengthen cooperation, not only wants to expand the market, but also wants the red country to provide cheap, high-quality and efficient construction solutions.
Chen Xiaoliang naturally became the most perfect mascot for such a friendly negotiation occasion.
And this is also a task that he will undertake sooner or later after his influence continues to grow.
So after staying at home for three weeks, moving with his parents, chatting, and settling in, he bid farewell to his reluctant parents and went to the imperial capital in a low-key manner.
In the great hall, Chen Xiaoliang saw so many athletes for the first time, including many Olympic gold medalists, all top figures in their respective fields.
However, he who can calmly focus on himself under the shouts of tens of thousands of people, how could he be frightened by such a scene.
Zhongyang TV also broadcast this piece of news in the evening news broadcast, and also specially put on the scene of Chen Xiaoliang communicating with foreign athletes.
It doesn't matter if it's released, the fans of the Red Country will be excited.
【What?Xiao Liang has returned home? 】
[Why does no one know?What is he doing back here? 】
[You are stupid upstairs, didn’t the news broadcast tell you why he came back...]
[Fuck, I'm worried that those grandchildren from the Football Association will find him]
[If you want to find them, you have already searched for them. Didn't you slap them in the face if you found them?]
【Could it be a falling out with Rome? 】
...
Overnight, all kinds of discussions and speculations spread in the domestic football circle.
And the three presidents of the Football Association were also very nervous.
Why did no one come to inform us in advance that this kid is attending such an important diplomatic event?
President Cheng hurriedly asked Vice President Xu to contact Director Zhu who is stationed in Europe.
Director Zhu vowed to report to them, saying that he and Chen Xiaoliang's agent called each other brothers, and that "things" were going well, and that Chen Xiaoliang would definitely cooperate with the Football Association's request.
The three presidents were dumbfounded. In the past few years, Director Zhu has been staring at Europe, and he has contributed a lot, and he has made great contributions. He is definitely a good player in terms of ability, especially President Cheng, who has more trust in him. .
Several times I led the team to go abroad for vacation in the name of going to Europe to investigate advanced football. It was all arranged and taken care of by Director Zhu. Not only was the schedule full during the day and the content was rich, but he also played cards with President Cheng at night. He was absolutely confidant and capable. go-getters.
There should be no problem with what he reported, but what happened this time was really unreasonable, and it still made them uneasy.
That's right, the three of them were really worried.
But this is precisely the special sensitivity of people with ghosts in their hearts.
The former Chen Xiaoliang didn't want to wade into this muddy water, so he chose to laugh it off after meeting Director Zhu for the first time when he was a homeless person, and they didn't offend each other.
I kick mine, you grab yours, out of sight is out of mind.
But later things changed him little by little.
He saw 15-year-olds playing match-fixing just to achieve some so-called "balance";
He has seen that every time the media reports on Wu Lei's development in Europe, no matter how hard it is for him and how hard he works, there will always be people who will ridicule him below, just because he is a member of the national football team that is despised by thousands of people;
He saw that when the self-media that maliciously created traffic said that he was going to be recruited by the national football team, a large number of fans came out to object, saying that as soon as he joined the national football team, he would help the bad guys and be ruined immediately;
He saw those players who did not want to sink in the messy environment of the Red Country football, but chose to study abroad to play in some small leagues, but what they got was not blessings, but malicious coldness.
Coupled with the fact that share reform, neutral names, retirement after winning the championship, and other unimaginable things happened, maybe some of them had good intentions, but almost all of them were screwed up in the end.
He finally decided to do something, not to change the above, which is not something a player in Europe can change.
But only for those children who have traveled across the ocean to Scotland to participate in youth training under their own help, and may go to Spain for further studies in the future, so that they will not encounter the same thing in the future.
I will no longer become a shame on the Internet that cannot be washed away for a lifetime just because I am a male football player of the Red Country, just like the golden seal on the face of a Liangshan hero;
It is no longer necessary to do things that violate conscience and the law in accordance with the greetings and instructions of certain people in order to be able to kick down;
I will no longer be replaced by others because I have the strength to enter a better platform, but because I didn't spend money to buy a relationship.
He didn't want to pay for it, but what he saw in the end was those clear eyes full of dreams. After returning to the football environment of the Red Country, after two or three years, they became confused and muddy.
He thought for a long time, just buying a fourth-tier team in Spain is not enough to protect those small players.
So he finally took the step, with Riese's help, with Boss Oh's help.
Director Zhu has been in contact with Riise for more than a year. The Football Association, which is on the cusp of the storm, naturally hopes to have a relationship with the increasingly dazzling Chen Xiaoliang in order to shift the focus and reduce its negative evaluation.
But they, who had already accumulated so much, were still hesitant to talk at first, but under Riise's premeditated approach, advances, gifts, and treats, they finally passed Director Zhu's test, which made him let go of his guard and gradually spoke out. their rules of the game.
In view of Chen Xiaoliang's fame and strength, he does not need to pay "registration fees" for cooperation with the national team, but in terms of domestic portrait rights, broadcast rights, and product distribution, he must sign a contract with the brokerage company designated by the head coach.
Director Zhu said to Riise: "At this point, except for a few players who are greeted by the president personally as 'special affairs and special affairs', the vast majority of players operate in this way. If it is because they played well in Europe, It can become a special case of non-payment. Even if the president agrees, you must not be crowded out by other players after joining the team. You have been on the football team for so long. You must understand that the locker room must be harmonious, yes Bar?"
Of course, Director Zhu won't let Li Sebai be busy. After the matter is completed, he will give him [-]% of the profit, as a reward for his hospitality these days, and as a guarantee for long-term cooperation in the future.
Riise knew that this was to drag him onto the pirate ship and become an accomplice of interests.
Seeing Riise's slightly uneasy expression, Director Zhu patted his chest confidently: "The contract is signed, and I will handle the rest."
Despite the psychological preparation in advance, Riise asked in surprise, "This, can this work?"
Director Zhu smiled slightly: "Okay. Heaven knows, Earth knows, you know, I know, President Cheng knows."
Riise was stunned, a strong man who has played football for half his life, how has he ever played this kind of game?
Director Zhu showed a confident and conceited expression: "Rise, we can't just keep growing. We must learn to see the big picture. How many Chen Xiaoliangs can we have? There is only one in the whole red country, the whole of Europe, and even the whole world. In addition, how many big contracts can you represent? After cooperating with us, you can handle all the small players who will be sent to Europe in the future.”
Afterwards, Director Zhu said a sentence full of classic wisdom that seemed to be immersed in the system for decades.
"If you don't take it, how can I get it? If I don't take it, how will President Cheng get it? If President Cheng doesn't take it, how can we make progress. Let's hurry up and sign the contract, the sooner the better."
Riser nodded, and kept scolding Chen Xiaoliang for cheating himself in his heart, but at the same time felt that this kind of undercover game was too exciting!
Director Zhu quickly printed out the contract and sent an electronic version, and asked Riise to call Coach Li of the national team.
Coach Li explained the contents of the contract in detail in his English with a local accent, and he did not forget to thank Riser for his cooperation.
Riise said that he was only an agent, and he had to take the contract back to Chen Xiaoliang to sign it himself.
Seeing that he hesitated, Director Zhu released another big move:
"Brother, there is one thing you may not understand. In our country, to be a coach and open a football school, you need to apply for a certificate. This is the same as yours in Europe. Aren't coaches also divided into three levels of ABC certificates?"
"We all know that you have brought so many children from the Red Country, and the presidents are also very clear. Logically speaking, they can stop what you are doing with a single word. Those children Of course I can't get out."
"Do you think that the players registered with us are directly brought to the UK for training without going through us at all. Is this compliant? This is unlicensed teaching, which is obviously not compliant."
"Even... even if he is Godzilla... that homeless club is a big club, but he didn't get a license from the Football Association, we can say that he is teaching without a license, even if Real Madrid comes, he still needs to get a license."
"The chairman and coach Li are also focusing on the future and hope to cooperate with you for a long time, so they are very accommodating. They turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. They make big things small and small things small. This is also showing their sincerity."
Riise nodded furiously, he had already collected enough things, he just wanted to get out of this filthy, disgusting room right away, right away, right away.
For this reason, he had to continue acting: "Brother Zhu, don't worry, I will cooperate well."
In fact, Riise's acting skills are not good at all, but the reason why Chen Xiaoliang let him out is because of his naturally fierce face like a pirate leader, and his smile is scarier than not smiling, which can fully cover up his flaws in acting.
Back home in Rome, Chen Xiaoliang heard all the recordings, and saw those contracts and chat records, feeling both happy and sad.
At that moment, a sentence repeatedly lingered in his mind:
I was afraid of ghosts when I was a child, because they were hideous and terrifying;
When they grow up, they are afraid of people because they are well-dressed.
After his success in the natural gas business, he found an opportunity to meet Boss Wu who was on a business trip to Rome.
He told his thoughts to this ultra-rich man who is very deep in the city, extremely smart, and smart enough to take over the family business for generations from the old ship king as his son-in-law.
But at the same time, he is also a veteran and passionate sports fan, especially football.
Boss Wu's heart is the same as that of Chen Xiaoliang back then, he doesn't want to go into the muddy water that has nothing to do with him.
But the love for football in his heart, especially the sorrow for the current situation of football in the red country, has always given him the urge to do something.
In the end, it was the words of his daughter Wu Mi who was married to a wife that touched him.
Whether it is the old ship king or the current Boss Wu, they have worked hard and paid for the family's business empire all their lives, and even married their precious daughter to another super wealthy family to achieve a strong marriage.
But in fact, Boss Wu is also very painful. He knows that he sacrificed his daughter's happiness and forcibly extinguished her impulse for love.
But now, the sincere and idealistic eyes of the young man in front of him stirred up waves in his heart.
Born in 1956, he is already 66 years old, and half of his body has already entered the coffin. Before he is completely old, help this young man to do an idealistic thing and wade through the muddy water for the things he likes. so what?
What's more, with his status, those scumbags can't hurt him at all.
He also knew that he hadn't done similar things all this time, not because he was worried that he didn't have the ability, but because he was worried that nothing would go away in the end, and what he would meet was just another disappointment.
Thinking of this, Boss Wu's expression changed. He told Chen Xiaoliang that he would directly report this matter to the higher authorities in his name.
This is also the scope that he can cover as a link figure in the sports circles of the two countries, although he has never been an athlete.
So, taking advantage of participating in the Olympic Committee activities in the capital, he reported the matter to the sports authorities in detail.
Before handing over the evidence, Boss Wu asked his confidants to do technical processing in advance to eliminate the content related to Chen Xiaoliang and Riise.
At the end of the matter, he got a very specific and positive response from the relevant departments.
"Strict investigation to the end, no tolerance!"
Relevant departments stated that they will spend a period of time to fully collect evidence, and then dig out the entire chain, arresting and withdrawing, not just targeting one or two people.
The entire process from report to reply took only three days.
But these three days were simply the most nervous and restless for Boss Wu.
Finally, when parting from Chen Xiaoliang and preparing to go back to their respective lives, this business legend who is also a teacher and friend patted him on the shoulder, handed him a beautifully printed envelope, and let him board the plane back to Rome look again.
Chen Xiaoliang kept the promise and opened it after getting into the cabin.
Inside was a letter, a meaningful sentence written in English and pen:
"I've never been sorry to anyone in my life, except my daughter. I know he likes you very much. To be honest, I like you too."
"But the reality is that there is no possibility, and the choices made cannot be changed."
"So I never said these things to her."
"You are a very smart person. I am very optimistic about you. I was far inferior to you when I was 18 years old. I also hope that when you reach my age, you can still far surpass me."
"This time, you made me feel years younger, which is very good."
"Next time, I hope that when we meet in Europe, you will allow me to meet a more mature version of you."
The signature is still his English name: Pete Wu.
Chen Xiaoliang treasured this letter very solemnly.
However, his goal is not to surpass a wealthy businessman who can rank in the top 100 on the Forbes wealth list. His goal is to be the champion, especially the champion of the new season that is about to start, and all the champions that will follow!
But before that, he had one more thing to do urgently.
After getting off the plane, he drove home by himself. The offseason was only a few days away, and he didn't terminate David's vacation early.
But when he returned to the residence, a familiar figure was already waiting there.
"Are you back? Are you hungry? Hurry up and eat, everything is ready."
After knowing that Chen Xiaoliang was coming back, Helena returned to Rome ahead of schedule. At this moment, she took his hand and went into the house, and reached out to carry his luggage.
After Chen Xiaoliang entered the room, he put down his luggage, held her hand, and said what he had been wanting to say to Helena face to face for the past few weeks:
"My mother told me all about it, but I didn't even find out."
Helena was holding both hands by him, blushing and puzzled.
"Sometimes I go out to play and you take a picture of my back for them."
"Sometimes when I go home after a game, I'm so tired that I go to bed without taking a shower. You will help me cover the quilt and report to them that I'm safe."
"Sometimes I've done a couple of interviews, and you'll download them, edit them and send them to them."
"Sometimes it's just the weekend I finish eating your dinner and you're happy to take a picture and tell them."
"And a lot of times, when I go to an away game and I'm not at home for a few days, you'll take a screenshot of the game and send it to them and tell them I'm not injured and the game went well."
When Chen Xiaoliang said this, his eyes were completely red.
So is Helena.
"Why do you tell them everything?"
After Chen Xiaoliang said this seemingly reproachfully, both of them laughed again. This smile shook the tears in their eyes.
"You've done so much, why didn't you tell me?"
After saying this, the two embraced tightly.
After a while, they wiped away their tears and sat down to eat.
Chen Xiaoliang asked, "How is Grandpa?"
Helena nodded: "He is very good, he asked me to persuade you to go to Bayern."
Chen Xiaoliang: "Hahaha, should I go?"
Helena: "If you don't go, don't go. Anyway, grandpa doesn't lead the team now. If he is still the head coach, I will definitely let you go."
Chen Xiaoliang: "Well... if he is still coaching, I don't need you to tell me, I am willing to go, just like Sir Alex Ferguson, if he is still coaching Manchester United, even if he doesn't pay, I will accept the contract he offers me."
Afterwards, Chen Xiaoliang snapped: "Then what if I go to Real Madrid?"
Helena pretended to be angry on purpose: "You go, I will go back to Germany after you go, you and David can go live."
Chen Xiaoliang laughed loudly, and gave Helena a kiss: "No, no, what about Barcelona?"
Helena: "It's okay... After you go, you have to beat Real Madrid."
Chen Xiaoliang: "Then Liverpool can do it too? They have met Real Madrid with 6 losses and 5 draw in the last 1 times. If I go, they will win."
Helena pouted: "Will you go? You don't pretend to be Liverpool, do you?"
Chen Xiaoliang chuckled: "I was discovered by you, I pretended to be you."
Helena blushed: "Who taught you that? It's so dirty..."
The two had a good time, and after cleaning up the dishes together, Chen Xiaoliang sent a text message to Mourinho:
"Coach, I'm back in Rome!"
Mourinho replied almost instantly: "I just came back? I haven't left! Come to the base tomorrow to meet me."
In the morning of the next day, Chen Xiaoliang drove to the Trigoria Base, which he hadn't seen for a few days, but felt like he hadn't seen him for a long time.
It's really like not seeing each other in a day, like three autumns.
Mourinho saw his lover walk in in the office, put down what he was doing and went out to greet him.
The two each made a cup of coffee and sat down. Mourinho told Chen Xiaoliang about the current situation of the club.
Kvaratsheria has already received the club's medical examination, and the club has also found him a house, but because his income is not very high, although he is also in the Trigoria area, it is a little farther away.
Dybala and Belotti are both talking, and they have a strong will, and the talks with the original club have also collapsed. Now the only obstacle is the salary, but Mourinho feels that if it is delayed, there should be good results. result.
The loan of Wijnaldum has been negotiated, the player will come to Rome after the holiday, and he will live in the villa where Wu Lei lived, so Mourinho hopes that Chen Xiaoliang can walk more with him by then, after all Is next season's midfield partner.
Enzo has also negotiated, and the transfer has already been completed. In the filings of FIFA, UEFA and Italian Football Association, he is already a player of Roma.
But this is the first time he went to Europe to play football, he has to deal with some family affairs in Argentina, and he will fly over to join the team a few days later.
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoliang was very happy, which means that the three lines of the team will be strengthened next season.
wrong…
Not three lines, but two.
Sure enough, Mourinho frowned slightly, and continued: "But we still can't find a good central defender, which is a headache. According to reason, the window is not officially opened, but the time of two months is very fast, and August 6 is fleeting, not to mention that after the league starts in August, I don’t have enough time to participate in transfer negotiations.”
Chen Xiaoliang knew that this was Mourinho asking for help. He tentatively said a few names:
"Lisandro Martinez?"
Mourinho shook his head: "This Argentine is not bad, but Manchester United has already made an offer, 5737 million euros, and Ajax has also accepted it. The player's agent told us directly that even if Roma matched the same offer, they even gave a double offer. Double the annual salary, he will still only go to Manchester United to reunite with Ten Hag."
Chen Xiaoliang: "Another Ajax defender, Edson Alvarez?"
Mourinho: "We have also contacted, Ajax, no, Van der Sar, their director of football said that they have decided to sell one of the main central defenders, and they will not sell another one. , if we really want this Mexican, we can take him for 8700 million euros."
After speaking, he spread his hands.
Chen Xiaoliang continued: "Atalanta's Turkish central defender..."
Before he finished speaking, Mourinho said: "Demiral, Gasperini said, 5500 million will be taken away. Believe me, he is not worth the price, and I will take 3500 million. "
Uh…
Chen Xiaoliang was speechless for a while, but he didn't give up: "Nico Schlotbeck from Dortmund?"
After finishing speaking, he himself regretted it. The players in the black shop said what he was doing...
Mourinho: "They are willing to sell, 9800 million euros, why don't you buy it?"
Sure enough, it's a black shop...I'm addicted to selling Harland.
Chen Xiaoliang thought about it for a while this time: "Try Fu An Jianyang from Arsenal?"
Mourinho sneered helplessly: "Arteta said that the Japanese is not for sale and is an important player in the new season."
Fuck... Brother Tazi has a set... Not for sale are out...
Chen Xiaoliang: "Try Lindelof of Manchester United? Although he may not be outstanding, he should be able to form a healthy competition with the existing players when he comes to the team."
Chen Xiaoliang said him because Lindelof was introduced by Mourinho when he was at Manchester United.
Mourinho nodded: "I know this guy well. I asked his agent. Manchester United is willing to sell it for about 3500 million euros, but the player doesn't want to leave. After all, his current weekly salary is 12 pounds, which is about 13.5. Euros, the cost is too high and it will psychologically unbalance the defenders we have here."
Chen Xiaoliang's eyes suddenly lit up: "There is a person! Visa-free! Roman Seth of the Wolves!"
Mourinho was also excited: "Yes! This person can do it!"
He immediately called Pinto.
The Wolves have many Portuguese players, and they are all represented by Mourinho's agent Mendes.
The Moroccan captain has rich experience. Although the 32-year-old is a bit older, it is quite affordable and practical to come here without a visa to play for 2-3 seasons.
Just 3 minutes after hanging up the phone, Pinto called back, and Mourinho looked disappointed:
"The man has already been signed by Besiktas."
Chen Xiaoliang touched his head speechlessly: "Coach, how much budget can we spend?"
Mourinho: "6000 million euros."
Chen Xiaoliang narrowed his eyes and looked at Mourinho: "Can we be more sincere?"
Mourinho laughed: "4500 million euros."
Chen Xiaoliang knew that Mourinho deliberately exaggerated because he was afraid that he would not give more good suggestions because he felt that the budget was not enough.
If there were really 6000 million euros, he would have already bought someone and would wait until today.
Chen Xiaoliang: "That's up to 3500 million euros, coach, let's not slap our faces and pretend to be fat. I can't think of a suitable person for this price, unless I go somewhere to buy a cheap one and forcefully scratch the lottery ticket."
"Because your requirement is a practical player who can fight and win, instead of buying a young man to train for 1-2 years and then entrusting him with important tasks."
"So, I suggest renting one."
Mourinho: "Rent? But the central defender has always been my heart, and I still want to solve the problem once."
Chen Xiaoliang: "I have a very good candidate. This person cannot be bought, but he can be rented for a little more money. We may set some buyout clauses, and then use a successful season to try to keep him. Heart, so that he might be able to keep him at the end of the season."
Mourinho: "Tell me, who is it?"
Chen Xiaoliang: "Gwadiol, a Croatian, from Leipzig Red Bull, is only 20 years old."
Mourinho has heard of the man but is not too familiar with it:
"20? Is that okay? You said just now that I don't want young people to exercise."
Chen Xiaoliang: "Okay boss, he's a lunatic, he's going crazy."
Mourinho also narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Xiaoliang: "Is Riise representing him?"
Chen Xiaoliang: "I think so too! Of course not! How could Red Bull let their own players be represented by outsiders? Cesco was fooled by Red Bull Salzburg for a long time before he came here."
Mourinho: "How do you know he's crazy?"
Chen Xiaoliang: "I..."
"I've watched countless movies and read countless people, Boss!"
Mourinho: "No other recommendations?"
Chen Xiaoliang: "No, coach, what you want is someone who can help you win the championship. I also aim to win the championship. It's useless to buy cheap cats and dogs. It's better to practice Kumbra more."
Mourinho: "Hey, our captain seems to have the potential to be a head coach, and he has already started training planning. I asked Pinto to ask quickly and send me a scout report. Who is this man? It's not really as hanging as you said."
Chen Xiaoliang thought to himself, Dior is in his name, and he was born with it, so of course he hangs up.
Thanks to the club's chief director [Yu Qingfeng] for the 2 monthly tickets!
Thanks to the executive director of the club [I am still the boy who charged money] for his great sponsorship!
I have something to do tomorrow, and I will change it early overnight today.
In the last chapter of this story, some people may hate certain words, but I can't vomit.
I also hope that this chapter will not be "disappeared" because of some content and nouns.
Next is the new season!
(End of this chapter)
