368 I Will Lend You Money

"Michael, the club is so difficult, you don't even tell your old friends, it's so embarrassing."

Riester flew to Germany that day, and then arrived in Dortmund without stopping for a moment.Like Rendoiro, Meyer has been distracted lately by the company.Meyer, who is just in his 50s, has more and more wrinkles on his face. Meyer, 50, looks more like 60.

Looking at the smiling Rist, Meyer's eyelids kept twitching.This time the club forcibly wanted to cut the wages of the players, but unfortunately it failed.But the club must be like this, otherwise the club will have absolutely no money to pay wages in January, which is a salary of more than 3000 million euros.Where does Dortmund have so much money now.

Once the money is not available at that time, it will be news of wage arrears.Once the scandal of wage arrears comes out, other clubs may not be afraid.But Dortmund is a listed company, and this kind of news is what they are most afraid of.Moreover, German football has dealt with these problems very seriously.

In the summer, in order to raise more money, Dortmund has sold the ownership of the Westfalenstadion to a subsidiary of Commerzbank for 7500 million euros. fee.Summer is very good, raising 1500 million euros in one go.

But Xia Tian spent the money happily, and now the problem came out.The income of the Westfalenstadion is already limited, and the income of a season is less than about 3000 million euros.Now they have to spend 500 million euros in rental fees every year, which is a typical "eating more than they need".Only half a year later, Dortmund felt the financial problem.

Now Dortmund owes more than 4000 million euros.Of course, for some big clubs, not to mention the top giants in European football such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal in the Premier League are not afraid of debts of 4000 million euros.Even clubs like Tottenham and Newcastle are not afraid of 4000 million euros in debt.But Dortmund are now earning less than 8000 million euros a year.

But the salary is more than 7000 million euros, and there are some messy expenses. The income and expenditure of a season are seriously unbalanced.According to the current situation, Dortmund's debt will increase.Dortmund has been relying on the stock market to collect money for the past two years, and now the stock market can't get money.Meyer is not generally anxious now, but very anxious.

"Rist, if you can persuade your players to take a 20.00% salary cut, you will do a great favor to our club."[

Meyer spoke with sincerity.How does Dortmund's first team cut wages by 20.00%, then Dortmund can save more than 1000 million euros.Coupled with the reduction of bonuses, Dortmund can save the club nearly 2000 million euros for this item alone.

For Dortmund now, a penny that can be reduced is a penny. 2000 million euros is not a small amount, and it can greatly alleviate Dortmund's economic problems.Listening to Meyer's sincere words, Rist felt sorry for him.Because Dortmund's stock has now fallen to three euros, from eleven euros two years ago to three euros, the shrinkage is too serious.Rist knows that this is not the end. Judging from the current development of Dortmund, it will fall below one euro sooner or later.

Borussia Dortmund is a football club, the stock market will be good if the performance is good, and the stock market will be bad if the performance is poor.Dortmund had already issued additional shares in the summer, and now they can no longer make money in the stock market.Now that the club has no money and starts to cut player salaries, the thinking cannot be said to be wrong.It's a pity that players are human too. Once you wipe out their salaries, how can they have the strength to play football.

How can the team's performance improve if the players don't have the spirit to play football.If the team's performance declines, the team's economy cannot be good.If the economy is not good, we can only continue to cut the budget.This is an endless loop, and Dortmund can only slowly enter bankruptcy.

"Michael, I have four players in your Dortmund. The combined salary of the four people is more than 1000 million euros, and their salary has been reduced by 20.00%, which is a little more than 200 million euros. My income is a loss of 20, It’s only [-]. To be honest, this amount of money is not in my eyes at all.”

Meyer nodded.Rist is right. For a broker of Rist's level, the benefit of hundreds of thousands of euros is really not a big amount.

"For me, this little money is gone, I don't care. With the friendship between you and me, I can make concessions. But it is different for my players. I will talk about Karel, he is already He is 30 years old. His annual salary is 360 million euros. According to your words, it is reduced by 20.00%, which is 70 euros. Michael, have you thought about it? This is 70 euros. The current contract may be the last one Karel gets With such a high salary, how could I let him lose 70 euros."

Rist was a little excited as he spoke.So I stood up and said to Meyer: "Playing football is a youth meal. If you don't make more money now, what will Karel do after he retires? You will cut him more than 70 euros now." , what do you think my players will think? Do you think they will agree?"

"Rist, calm down first."

Meyer seemed to be persuading Rist, but he scoffed in his heart.Meyer knew that it would be hard to say once this matter passed through these agents.Meyer didn't believe that Rist was so good and cared so much about his players' future and his players' income.It's not for his own benefit that he said so righteously.But he can't tell the truth, as long as they know each other well.

"If the club hadn't really reached this point, we wouldn't have taken such an approach. Rist, we've been working together for a few years, so you can't just ignore death."

Rist almost yelled.Whether you Dortmund die or not is none of my business, why let us sacrifice.But Rist had a smile on his face and said: "Michael, don't pay attention to what I say. Have you ever thought that even if the players agree to a 20.00% reduction, can they be happy? If they are unhappy, can they be happy?" Do you play as hard as you can during the game? If the players don’t work hard, can Dortmund’s performance improve? If the performance does not improve, can your club’s financial problems be solved? This is simply not feasible.”

Meyer's heart ached with Rist's every word.Because he clearly knows that this method is a chronic poison, but he can only do this.So he said very naively: "Rist, do you think I am willing to do this? I can't think about longer-term things, because what our club has to consider is how to get through the current stage."

"Michael, how about I give you an idea?"

"Please say."[

Meyer really can't help it now.If there is a way, he will not choose such extreme measures.Although he didn't believe that Rist had a solution, it was right to listen to it.Maybe Rist, the agent predator, really has a way.

"Clubs don't do things that hurt players' hearts. As long as you pass this level, you can sell some valuable players next summer and you can find replacements. Of course, you can sell high-paid players and introduce them at a low price. Some good players to replace them. Reassure the players, as long as the club's performance improves, then the income will also increase."

Meyer's eyelids have been trembling since seeing Rist, and now they are shaking more and more violently.He really can't help spitting on it now, what the fuck are you talking about.You are completely playing yourself, who doesn't know it is so.If he knew an old Chinese saying, he would definitely accuse Rist of standing up and talking without pain in his back.It's so easy to replace the team, and it wouldn't be more ugly to accidentally buy a parallel import.

Although very angry, Meyer still calmed down and said: "Rist, I will not hide it from you. The salary for the second half of the season will be paid in January next year, and the club is short of money. This hurdle will not pass, and the rest will be false. Football Association They are already looking at us at Dortmund."

"Michael, if the loan should be able to raise some money."

Meyer shook his head.Riester already understood that Dortmund's current situation is very dangerous, and German financial institutions are unwilling to lend money to Dortmund.So Rist continued: "If you really need it, I can lend you 1000 million euros privately."

"Really?"

Meyer stood up and looked straight at Rist.During this period of time, in order to raise funds, he can be said to have traveled to countless banks.But none are willing to lend money to Dortmund.Not to mention tens of millions of euros, no one is willing to lend Dortmund even a few million euros.Because German financial institutions do not believe that Dortmund has the ability to repay the debt.Unexpectedly, Riester was willing to lend Dortmund tens of millions of euros.

Looking at the surprised Meyer, Riester smiled and said, "If you are in urgent need and the shortage is relatively large, I can raise up to 500 million euros."

Meyer was a little shocked.He knew that Rist was very rich, a broker with a fortune of over [-] million.But I didn't expect Rist to come up with tens of millions of euros in cash support.However, after all, Meyer has also experienced strong winds and waves, and has squandered hundreds of millions in his hands.So he calmed down quickly, and instead thought about why Rist did this.The current Dortmund does not seem to be worth spying on Riester.

"Stop cutting player wages, it's not a good idea."

When he got here, Meyer didn't know what to say.Meyer didn't answer the question, and then looked at Rist and said, "Who do you think Dortmund should sell and bring in now. Can it not only maintain the stability of the team, but also collect funds in the transfer market?"

"Of course it's selling high-salary, high-value players."

"You want Rosicky to leave Dortmund?"

Meyer's first thought was that Rist would take Rosicky away.Because in the current Dortmund, the most valuable is of course Rosicky.Rosicky, who is only 22 years old, is currently a player who is coveted by many giants in European football.It should not be sold for less than 3000 million euros.And Rosicky's salary is also very high, with an annual salary of more than 300 million euros.

"No. If you want to use Thomason to solve the economic crisis, of course I have no objection. But I will not take him away."

"Then what do you mean?"

It's not like Meyer can't sell Rosicky if possible.After all, Rosicky is nothing compared to the club's current difficulties.But Rosicky is such an outstanding player, and he is still the core of Dortmund's frontcourt.If it is really sold, goddamn such an excellent player.

And more importantly, the current Dortmund team with the highest commercial value is Rosicky.Especially after the World Cup championship, Rosicky has more than ten endorsements.Dortmund can also get some share in it.Therefore, Dortmund does not want to leave a star player like Rosicky.With Rosicky, Dortmund still have a chance to turn around.

"Amoruso's worth is not low, and his salary is also high. But this season doesn't seem to be doing very well. Everton's performance is much better than him."

Amoru index was worth a lot when he entered, and his salary was relatively high.And it was Amoruso and Dede who took the lead in making trouble this time.In his rage, Meyer really thought about selling Amoruso and Dede.However, they are relatively strong, so they didn't think about selling for a while.Listening to what Rist said now, Meyer really listened.

"Also, Metzelder and Dede are both soaring. The value will not be less than 500 million euros, and it should be no problem to sell them for 2000 million to 5000 million euros. I think these players will be dealt with. Dortmund will definitely be able to collect around [-] million euros. It should not be a problem to get through next year."

Metzelder can be regarded as the best central defender in German football in the past two years, and has begun to gain a firm foothold in the German national team.At a time when good left-backs are becoming scarcer, Dede has attracted the attention of many clubs.

"Rist, cutting wages is not good for the club. It is also not good for the club to sell players. With so many players sold, can you find players who are cheap and can fill their positions?"

"Of course. If it is a top talent like Thomas, it will not be easy for me to find it casually. After all, talents like him are not everywhere. But I have as many capable players as you want. There are a lot of both in my information. Cheap and capable players. Guaranteed to satisfy Dortmund for replacement."

Looking at Rist's swearing assurance, Meyer hesitated.In fact, Meyer really wanted to tell Rist that now Dortmund's most valuable and highest paid players are Rister's players.But it is not so easy to clean up the players of Riester.And now that Rist is willing to lend tens of millions of euros to the Dortmund club, Meyer can't clean them up.

"Rist, I want to discuss with Reinhardt."

"En." (To be continued.)
