"He dares!"

Hearing Rist's domineering words, Merkley didn't admire Rist. Instead, he shook his head slowly, because the chairman of the Korean Football Association, Chung Mong-joon, has a very powerful wrist.No one in world football does not know Chung Mong Joon's ability.

First of all, in terms of origin, Chung Mong-joon is the sixth son of Chung Joo-yong, the creator of the Korean chaebol Hyundai Group.South Korea is a typical chaebol country. For example, when Hyundai Group was at its peak more than a decade ago, its sales accounted for 16% of South Korea’s entire national income, reaching an astonishing US$532 billion, and its export volume reached US$87 billion, accounting for the country’s total exports. It accounts for 12% of the total and plays an important role in South Korea's national economy.

At that time, the Hyundai Group was the number one chaebol in South Korea. If it weren't for the internal strife in the Hyundai Group and internal disputes over the company's power, it would not have declined.But even if it is in decline, the Korean Hyundai Heavy Industries Group, which Chung Mong-joon now controls, is still the largest shipbuilding company in the world. The company's assets exceed more than 400 billion U.S. dollars, and its annual sales exceed 200 billion U.S. dollars.

In South Korea, chaebols like this can influence all aspects of South Korea's politics and economy.Zheng Mengzhun came from such a family of chaebols, and now Zheng Mengzhun's personal assets are more than tens of billions of dollars.This is a veritable world-class rich man.

But this person is not only rich, but also very smart.After entering the Korean political arena, he became a member of the National Assembly very easily. Of course, as the son of Zheng Zhouyong, this is still very easy.Ten years ago, no one paid attention to football, but Zheng Mengzhun saw the development opportunity of football, and then became the chairman of the football association that no chaebol's children were interested in.

After that, he began to develop rapidly in world football, not only rapidly but even rapidly.When this person became the chairman of the Korean Football Association, Japan basically won the right to host the 2002 World Cup.Because the FIFA president at the time, Alan Vige, supported Japan.Everyone in world football understands this.

But Zheng Mengzhun just doesn't believe in evil.After he became the chairman of the Korean Football Association, he immediately represented Asia in the election of the vice-chairman of FIFA.At that time, the South Korean government did not think that South Korea had a chance to win the right to host the World Cup, so no one supported him.However, Chung Mong-joon went to Asian countries to lobby and defeated other candidates, including the representative of the Japanese Football Association, Murata Nakaminami, and became the vice president of FIFA.

it's not finished yet.At that time, because of Alanville's influence in FIFA, his relationship with the powerful UEFA and the increasingly powerful CAF was getting worse and worse.Chung Mong-joon took advantage of this opportunity and began to contact representatives of UEFA and CAF, and then joined them to fight against Alan Vige.Under a lot of pressure, Alanweige could only finally agree to host the World Cup together with Korea and Japan.That is the Korea-Japan World Cup being held now. [

In the middle of this, Zheng Mongzhun really learned the way of combining vertical and horizontal in the Warring States Period in China, and took advantage of the contradictions within FIFA to win South Korea this World Cup opportunity.Even in a series of World Cup activities later, Zheng Mengzhun kept the Japanese Football Association in the dark. Every time there was any event, only the characteristics of South Korea, and even the word "modern" could be seen, while the characteristics of Japan It is not visible at all.

Of course not only that, Zheng Mengzhun also complacently wrote a book called "Japanese, I want to tell you".It disclosed in detail how he helped South Korea get the right to host this time, and made a good mockery of the Japanese Football Association.

This is Jung Mong Joon.What Alainville hates the most is Zheng Mengzhun, but there is nothing he can do about him, let him continue to be the vice president of FIFA.Blatter, who also succeeded Alan Vige as the president of FIFA, also dislikes Chung Mong-joon very much, but he also has nothing to do with him as a billionaire.

And Jung Mong-joon made Korean football successful, not to say that he is a pure fan.On the contrary, he, like Berlusconi in Italy, hopes to use football to politics.He doesn't want to run for president yet, but as the helm of Hyundai Heavy Industries Group, he has a presidential candidate he supports.But in the future, he will definitely be for the top position, so football is his political capital.

Facing Chung Mong-joon, Merkley didn't have a little bit of confidence.Chung Mong-joon held great power in FIFA, when Alan Vige and Blatter were the chairmen.Both FIFA presidents disliked him, but neither moved him.The important thing is that this buddy has money, and money is a passport in this world.FIFA's [***] is known to all.Zheng Mengzhun has so much money, he can sway a large number of people by pulling out any hairs.

"Rist, I admit that you are an excellent agent in European football. Even those giant clubs in European football will give you face. But Rist, you underestimated Zheng Mengzhun, this is a billionaire. The assets are not a few Billions, not billions, but world-class rich people with more than tens of billions of dollars."

"I know."

Rist nodded with a smile, and said, "I know more about Zheng Mengzhun's strength than you do. If it weren't for the internal strife between the brothers, the Zheng family's assets would definitely exceed 500 billion U.S. dollars, and even 700 billion U.S. dollars is not impossible. .Now his second brother’s assets are more than 300 billion U.S. dollars. And this person is not only interested in football, this person is playing football in order to become the president of South Korea in the future. Just like Berlusconi.”

"Then you still say that. Rist, at most we can only hope that because of the game against Italy, they will be condemned by the media and pressured by the world football, so that they will not play recklessly in the next game."

Merkley was a little discouraged.But Rist sneered, and said: "Bavel, they dare to blackmail Italy casually, which ranking is we in the Czech Republic? And since they are already infamous, they will care about another infamy. Anyway, Damn, for Chung Mong-joon, using this opportunity to get better results is the most important thing. Now is the time for him to accumulate political capital, and the results of the Korean national team this time will be his political capital in the future.”

Rist knew that South Korea had received a lot of condemnation after hacking Italy, but they still hacked Spain.If it weren't for Germany's status in world football, especially Beckenbauer, a big man who is qualified to be the chairman of UEFA and FIFA, maybe Germany would be eliminated by others.

Merkley fell silent after hearing Rist's words.Seeing Merkley who was silent again, Rist smiled and said, "Bavel, didn't I say that? He dares!"

"Rist, you are..."

Merkley just smiled wryly when he heard it for the first time.But when he heard Merkley for the second time, he looked at Rist suspiciously.

"Zheng Mengzhun is an ambitious person. The results of this World Cup are his political capital, and he will not give up using football to continue to accumulate prestige for himself." [

"so what?"

Merkley did not understand what Rist meant.

"Bawell, you can send someone to send a message to Zheng Mengzhun. Just say that I said it. I am just an agent. It is not as powerful as he is the vice president of FIFA. But who made me an agent, I This person has nothing but a lot of players and talents. Tell Chung Mong-joon, if this game kills us like Italy, then if Korean players want to play in Europe in the future, I will kill one and two. I'll kill a pair."

When he said this, Rist was full of confidence.In Asian countries like Hanyue, there are only a small number of players who can play in Europe.There are not many players who can play in important European leagues. Even at their peak, there were only a dozen or so players.And there are even fewer who can become the main force.

"As long as a Korean player comes, I will lose money and let players in the same position compete with him. I even use my contacts to suppress Korean players. I will treat any Korean player like this until they leave European football. So far. So I believe Zheng Mengzhun will understand what I mean."

Chung Mong-joon is a world-class rich man. If he is really a fan who is willing to fight for Korean football, then Rist cannot stop him.After all, he is sitting on tens of billions of dollars in assets, as long as he enters European football, no force will be able to stop him.It's like when Abramovich entered European football, who can stop waving a check.Even those traditional forces in European football can't stop them, and agents like Rist are even more incapable.

But Zheng Mengzhun is not.Chung Mong-joon is just someone who used football to enter the political circle, and he is the major shareholder of Hyundai Heavy Industries Group.Hyundai Heavy Industries is one of South Korea's pillar industries, and it is impossible to let him spend money squandering.Even the South Korean government will not allow it.Of course, he himself will not squander his money to develop Korean football, he is not that noble.

He is a person who wants to play politics. Since he is a person who plays politics, he will definitely know how to choose.The current performance of the South Korean national team is already very good. Even if the algorithm enters the semi-finals, it is also a historical achievement. His political capital is already sufficient.As long as he knows about Riester, he will know that what Riester said is not false.Riester has enough strength and ability to block some Korean players from going to Europe.

Before becoming president, Chung Mong-joon would never let go of football, a field where he has accumulated his reputation.He will continue to develop the football industry in South Korea.Since this is the case, he will definitely consider Rister's words carefully.

"Rist, you..."

Merkley was shocked.Rist is threatening Zheng Mengzhun.

"Bavel, he will know the importance, he is a smart man. Even if a Korean company wants to take the road of sponsoring clubs, as long as it is not a sponsorship of several million euros or tens of millions of euros a year, but tens of millions of euros a year I will deny him all the annual sponsorship of [-] euros. Although I don’t have as much money as him, I still have tens of millions of euros to spend.”

"Rist, you are very courageous."

Merkley shook his head.Because the person Riester threatened was not only the vice president of FIFA, but also a rich man with a surname in the world.For today's Europe, money is the boss, and money is power.Although Chung Mong-joon is Asian, even in Italy, where racial discrimination is the most serious, he will be cautious when he meets a rich man with a net worth of more than tens of billions of dollars.It is estimated that to visit Berlusconi, Berlusconi needs to receive him personally.This is the power of money.

Rist admitted that Chung Mong-joon, who has assets of more than tens of billions of dollars, not only has a huge influence in football, but even has far more strength than Rist in many other aspects.But Rist is not afraid of Zheng Mengzhun at all, and sneered: "He grew up shouting for the golden key. And I will use my own hands to create my own world. Ten billion dollars, maybe it is impossible in my life, but who can Say I can't become such a rich man. Bavel, pass my word on to Chung Mong Joon. If he doesn't heed my warning, then I will continue to fuck their players every day for the next ten years. I want to see Do Korean players want to develop in Europe?"

Merkley's eyebrows kept twitching.Bruckner, on the other hand, was completely dumbfounded.For Bruckner, no one knows what Zheng Mengzhun does.And listening to what Rist and Bruckner said, he realized that there are so many things behind South Korea's black whistle.Zheng Mengzhun, the vice chairman of FIFA and the chairman of the Korean Football Association, is actually aiming at the position of their domestic president.For the position of president, Chung Mong-joon is accumulating political capital.He really didn't think of it.

"Rist, what you say may be effective, but it may irritate Chung Mong-joon."

"Trust me." (To be continued.)
