Legendary Broker

() Riester came to Rome for the first time today.

the first time.

not alone.

There is one person with me.

He is one of the temporary staff members that the club is looking for.

Rist selected a person among the many staff members, and if the inspection results were good, he would be temporarily responsible for Nedved's life in Rome.Because he is the only one who can speak Italian among the people currently recruited by the company.

It was a Lazio staff member who came to pick up Rist.

And when Rist came to the Lazio club, it was not other people who greeted Rist, but Lazio's chairman Cranioti.

Craniotti is not very old.

56 years old this year.

He looks average, with small eyes, gray hair, and rough skin on his face. When he smiles, he looks like a small businessman who cares about every detail.

Not as imposing as expected.

Domineering.

There was no arrogance at all on the first side.

Just like an ordinary old man.

Compared with the age of 56 years, people look much older.

"Mr. Cherny, young and promising."

In addition to Craniotti in the office, there is also his son Craniotti Jr. sitting next to him is Lazio coach Zeman.

"Don't dare to be. Mr. Craniotti is the one who is full of courage for Lazio to have the current results."

The current Cranioti family is very beautiful.

The scenery is infinite.

The family business is thriving, and he is currently the number one rich man in Italy.Before Craniotti took charge of Lazio, Lazio was just a humble club in the Italian Serie A.

But in just four years from 92 to now, Lazio has gradually become a strong team in Serie A under Craniotti's generous work.

Craniotti shook his head.

"Boldness? Lazio is my child."

As he spoke, Craniotti fell into deep thought.

Rist smiled and said nothing.

I saw Craniotti for the first time today. Before that, I knew all about Craniotti from the newspapers.Rist didn't know Cranioti's character either.

But both Craniotti and Zeman are used to it.

Craniotti was stunned for nearly 3 minutes, and then slowly recovered.Rist looked at Craniotti, could it be that this guy looked down on him, or had already begun to suffer from dementia.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Czerny. My brother was a Lazio fan when he was alive. His biggest wish is to see Lazio win the championship one day."

Craniotti really doesn't look like the rumors.

It gave Rist a great surprise.

A 56-year-old rich man with growing influence in the Italian economic circle.

On the contrary, he is like an old man who likes to remember.

And he continued long-windedly: "I hope he can see Lazio win the championship in heaven, so that he will be really happy."

Rist has been puzzled.

So just sit there quietly.Massimo Cranioti next to him smiled apologetically at Rist.

Rist also smiled at Craniotti.

After talking to himself for nearly 5 minutes, Craniotti remembered that there was another person in front of him.So he turned around and said with a smile: "I made you laugh. Every time a player transfers, I wonder if we will win the championship this time. I heard about Nedved, Zdenek said Nedved is a good player and I believe in him."

"You can talk to Massimo about Nedved's contract."

Rist was completely taken aback.

Neither he nor Craniotti said anything. The rich man talked to himself for 10 minutes, and then told Rist that he could talk to his son about the contract.

Rist didn't even react.

And the little Craniotti and Zeman over there have already stood up.

"Mr. Czerny, if there are good players in the future, just bring them to Lazio. As long as they are players that our club needs, I will not begrudge money."

…………

And so ended the first face to face with Craniotti.

Rist doesn't even know what to say?

Could this be the legendary Lazio boss Craniotti.

Rist could only smile wryly.

The rumors are really unbelievable.

Who would have thought that Craniotti would be like this.

Massimo Cranioti, son of Cranioti.

Also very young.

Has gradually become the top management of Lazio, Cranioti's meaning should be obvious.I hope that my son will gradually become the master of Lazio.

"Mr. Czerny, my father rarely asks about contracts. I'm responsible for this matter."

From the initial contact, Craniotti looks more like a businessman than his father.

"This is our preliminary Lazio contract for Nedved. Mr. Czerny, you can take a look. If you have any requirements, we can continue to talk."

Rist took it over and looked at it carefully.

Rist himself had graduated from law school, though not as well as those seasoned lawyers.But a player contract like this can still be easily understood.

Lazio's contract is very standardized.

There are no serious flaws.

Nedved was given a six-year contract with an annual salary of $60 after tax.

The signing fee is not much.

20 million US dollars.

For a player like Nedved who has just made his name, such a salary is already very good.

Like the annual salary, it can be said that it has increased by more than 30 times than that of Nedved in Sparta Prague.

But now this is the condition of Lazio, and it is impossible for Rist to agree to all of them.So Rist slowly let go of the contract, and said to Craniotti: "Overall, there are not too many problems. I only have two problems."

Craniotti gestured for Rist to continue.

"The first problem is the length of the contract. Six years is too long, although I know that clubs are now guarding against the Bosman Act. But I can't accept six years. Four years is the best."

Six years.

Riester will never let Nedved sign a six-year contract.

too long.

At that time, the initiative will be on Lazio.

Whether it is a transfer in the future or a new contract in the future, it is very unfavorable.

Rist raised an objection, but Craniotti didn't feel any difference.

After all, this is negotiation.

"Mr. Czerny, to be honest, we really can't trust the players after the Bosman Act. I think only the contract is the best constraint, and this is also a last resort."

Little Craniotti looks very stable, but his character is straightforward.

And because some of them are young, they are not as calm as in their performance.

Little Craniotti had just said this sentence, and Rist knew it in his mind.Although the old Craniotti said a lot of inexplicable things, he seemed to be demented.

But Rist didn't have much confidence facing him.

After all, he was a self-made man who became a rich man in Italy.

Definitely not someone that simple.

And the young Craniotti in front of him looks like a rich second generation. Although he is not considered a playboy, it will take a while to catch up with his father.

"I don't think this is a problem. Isn't the so-called contract just a fear of players leaving the club during the contract period? I am also not satisfied with Pavel's salary of 60 US dollars. I think it can be resolved together."

Rist is confident.

"The club could have a loyalty award."

"Loyalty Award?"

Little Craniotti didn't understand what Rist meant.

I have never heard of any loyalty awards in player contracts.

"It is that Pavel and I promised Lazio that we will never submit a transfer application to the club during the contract period. And the club gives me a player loyalty award every year. Of course, if the club actively sells my players during the contract period, Then the remaining loyalty awards need to be distributed to my players in one go.”

Craniotti was silent for a moment.

Because it was the first time I heard such a contract clause.

But he immediately said: "If Pavel's performance does not meet expectations, we will sell him next summer. Then our club will not lose a lot of money."

Little Craniotti really said what he had to say.

But Lister liked it.

So he replied: "We can ask for the loyalty award from next season. If the club is going to sell my players next summer, then my players are not strong enough. I will give Lazio a season to see if Pavel has enough. The strength of Lazio has a foothold."

Little Craniotti is very interested in Rist's fresh formulation.

But too unexpected.

So no immediate decision can be made.

So he said: "Mr. Cherny, I am very interested in your proposal, but I also need to think about it. How about we continue talking this afternoon?"
