The Era of Emerald

"I didn't expect such a result." Zhuang Mingge smiled wryly and shook hands with Mo Laohu, "I thought this match would be decided."

"Yeah, a draw is a bad result for both of us." Mo Laohu seems to be in no mood to joke, after all, Fiorentina is only one point behind the top Parma team, and their own Juventus Si, after this game is already three points behind the leaderboard...

This time, Zhuang Mingge did not return directly to Florence with the team, but checked in at a five-star hotel in Turin, where he was going to negotiate with Moggi on the transfer of Baggio.

After the two parties took their seats one after another, Zhuang Mingge decided to strike first:

"Manager Moggi, I think we'd better not go around in circles like we did at the Alpi Stadium. You and I both know that Baggio's departure from your Juventus is a certainty."

"No problem." Mo Laohu looked at Zhuang Mingge with a smile, "I think so too, after all, Fiorentina is not the only club in Italy capable of introducing Baggio, I also need to discuss with the managers of other teams. "

Zhuang Mingge made a "cut" in his heart, and once again realized that the old fox was difficult to deal with, he said, "Then ask Manager Moji to make a price for Baggio."

"I want Filipe Inzaghi, Luigi Di Biagio, plus 1000 million dollars." Moggi squinted his eyes, which made him look more like a cunning old fox, "We Juventus only want these .”

"Impossible!" Zhuang Mingge's voice was slightly louder, "Manager Moji, these two players are the main players of Fiorentina this season, who would exchange two main players for one Baggio? Besides, last time we Fiorentina I have already sold you two good seedlings, Manager Moji, you must be content."

"But no one will think that there are many good seedlings in the team, right?" Mo Laohu stopped Zhuang Mingge with one sentence, and said, "How about Chairman Corleone, tell me what Florence wants to offer for Baggio price?"

"600 million US dollars." Zhuang Mingge said, after thinking for a while, he added, "Pay within one year."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, Chairman Corleone, your bid is ridiculously low, and I'm beginning to doubt your sincerity in negotiating." Zhuang Mingge offered a price that Moji would never accept even if the negotiation broke down. Yes, "$600 million, plus Lanna and Di Biagio on your team."

"No, Mr. Moji, I'm already very sincere. Otherwise, I wouldn't put down a lot of my own things and negotiate with you here... Well, if this is the case, the transfer fee is still 600 million U.S. dollars. But we Fiorentina can pay all the transfer fee in one go, uh, plus Gianni Keida, what do you think?"

While Zhuang Mingge stabilized the old fox with his words, he lost no time in adding new bargaining chips.

"Huh?... It is feasible to pay all the transfer fee in one go, but the transaction price is really...Chairman Corleone, you must know that when we Juventus introduced Baggio from your Florence, it cost 1000 million. U.S. dollars!" Moji unceremoniously agreed to Zhuang Mingge's one-time payment proposal, but he still refused to let go of the price, "Well, I will take a step back, Francini and Di Biagio, Plus $1000 million in cash."

Unknowingly, Zhuang Mingge, who had suffered a "dark loss", of course refused to let it go so easily. Facing Moji's "shamelessness", he replied somewhat bluntly:

"It is true that you spent 1000 million dollars to buy Baggio back then, but it took you a full year to pay the 1000 million dollars at Juventus. You won't even forget about it. , Manager Moji?... Uh, sorry, I forgot that you were still living at the Club of Rome at that time... Why didn't you even learn about such an important past? Why don't you call and talk to your club first Can you communicate with other high-level executives?

"Er, this, I think I don't need it... In this way, we all give in, $800 million! Plus Francini and Di Biagio! We Juventus can take Baggio in the winter break. Sell ​​it to you, don't have to wait until July next year."

"Winter break?!"

"Yes, the two clubs can complete the transaction during the winter break. This is already the biggest concession we can make at Juventus. Selling the star of the team during the winter break will take a huge risk. And pressure, those news media will regard me as a target of bombardment, and the incomprehension of Juventus fans will pose a great threat to my personal safety... And if this is the case, in the second half of the season, our club will not be able to Without changing the original three-front combat plan, we have to give up some of these games."

Taking advantage of Zhuang Mingge's surprise, the old fox listed in one breath how much inconvenience and trouble the early sale of Baggio would bring him, in order to prove how much benefit Zhuang Minge's Florence got from it.

Immediately realizing that he was played by Moji again, Zhuang Mingge really admired the wisdom of this old fox: Moji really deserved it, so he had planned it long ago.

According to his own memory, Zhuang Minge always thought that Juventus would sell Baggio after the end of this season.Unexpectedly, Moggi directly threw him the huge temptation of "trading Baggio ahead of schedule in January".

Zhuang Mingge knew that as long as he showed even the slightest surprise in this respect, he would be regarded as a bargaining chip by Mo Laohu.

Amazing!

"No, no..." Zhuang Mingge waved his hands with a smile, and said, "How could we in Florence do something that would make Mr. Moji sad? We should make a deal in July."

"That's... good." Moji didn't expect that this young man could resist Baggio's temptation and insist on trading in July.

"As for the price, it is impossible to add two players to 800 million. In this way, according to what Manager Moggi said just now, we all make concessions. How about 800 million US dollars, plus Francini? "

"No, 900 million! Add Di Biagio!" Of course Moggi knew that his team lacked a reliable substitute in the midfield position, and Di Biagio was a player he was very optimistic about.

"Impossible! If Di Biagio leaves, my team will need to look for defensive midfielders again. Your Juve's Baggio is gone and Piero can top it! In this way, Juventus's full-back reserves are not enough. Rich, $900 million! Plus Francini and Parry! This is my bottom line!"

Moggi thought about it for a while. Di Livio, Pesoto, and Torricelli in his own team can play multiple positions. Bringing these two main substitutes from Fiorentina can indeed deepen Juventus' bench thickness.

"Okay, deal!"

"Manager Moggi, if I remember correctly, your relationship with Juventus and AC Milan is better? Why don't you choose to sell Baggio to Berlusconi? I think, the former Prime Minister (at this time, Berlusconi has already The bribery scandal forced him to resign) should be very willing to see the scene of Baggio training in Milanello." After the deal was reached and the agreement was signed, Zhuang Mingge couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked Moji.

"Hehe, Mr. Corleone, you should know that trading is a two-way choice. Indeed, if I send Baggio to Milan, it will strengthen the relationship between the Agnelli family and the Berlusconi family, but we What will Juventus get? Nothing! Nothing but a small dollar."

This is why Moggi is unwilling to trade with Milan: if a deal is reached with Milan, Berlusconi can take Baggio away without paying too much, and Agnelli can benefit from it. It is the Fiat consortium itself, not the Juventus club.

The typical little brother bleeds, and the boss benefits!

This is not at all in line with Moggi's plan for Juventus to dominate Serie A. In his opinion, after losing the main substitute of full-backs, if Fiorentina cannot make up the first-team lineup in time, then Fiorentina will collapse next season. It's just a matter of time.

Don't think that football club transfers are less risky than nba player deals.After the old players leave, even if the team observes carefully and specifically, it is impossible to really know what kind of performance the newcomers can play here. The most typical example is Huntelaar.

Therefore, every transfer is a venture capital investment. On the one hand, it depends on the author's vision, and on the other hand, it depends on the illusory luck.

Fortunately, Zhuang Mingge, relying on his own memory advantage, made Florence no longer have to worry about this for more than ten years.
