The Era of Emerald

The players selected by Zhuang Mingge are:

Alessio Tacchinardi, midfielder, priced at 60;

Simone Perrotta, midfielder, priced at 50;

Morgan de Sanctis, goalkeeper, priced at 40;

The combined value of the three players is only US$150 million, which means that Juventus will have to spend US$450 million in cash to complete the transfer.

Moji was very upset with Zhuang Mingge's choice, because these players were the three lowest-valued players on this list, but he couldn't express his objection, after all, Zhuang Mingge's actions had been approved by him in advance.

In desperation, Moggi had no choice but to agree to the offer, and took several senior assistants to Pesoto and Juliano to discuss the issue of treatment.

After sending Mo Ji away with a smile on his face, Zhuang Mingge picked up his phone, turned to a familiar number, and pressed the call button.

"Father, I have thought about the conditions."

"Say, child, what condition do you have?"

"I want to transfer all the Florence shares held by the family to my personal name."

"It's impossible. The family spent 2000 million dollars just to acquire Florence's shares last year. Such a request is too unreasonable, and the elders will not agree to your request."

"Who said I want them to transfer the shares to me for free?" Zhuang Mingge laughed, "I have two plans here: the first one, starting from this year, I will hand over 8 million US dollars to the family every August 1st, For 1000 years in a row, it will be fully paid off in the summer of 3, and then the team's shares will belong to me; the second plan is that I will pay 97 million US dollars in a lump sum before August 8 next year."

When talking about the second option, Zhuang Mingge temporarily pushed back the time by one year. After all, there were many opportunities to make money in 1994. If the start-up capital investment was spent and nothing was achieved, Zhuang Mingge would be laughed at by all time-travelers of.

"I think the elders of the family should agree to one of them. After all, these two proposals of yours can bring them considerable benefits." Michael Corleone affirmed Zhuang Mingge's proposal on the phone.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, Father." Zhuang Mingge hung up the phone after speaking, and said to Karin, "Karin, make arrangements right now, let's go to Naples."

Zhuang Mingge, who was stabbed severely from behind by Juventus, will naturally look for every possible opportunity to "revenge" Mo Laohu:

Didn't you "follow" the trajectory of history and introduce Pessoto and Juliano?Well, I will delay you with negotiations first, and then go to Naples to poach Ferrara, Mr. Moggi, you are worried about Juventus' central defender combination!

Chiro Ferrara was born in Naples, Italy on February 1967, 2. Position on the field: central defender. After Maradona left, he has been the captain of Naples.Ferrara's excellent defensive awareness, positioning and prediction are very accurate, which greatly makes up for his lack of physical confrontation.

This is also the kind of player that Fiorentina needs now. Both Iuliano and Filicano are more than brave, but they are not capable of supplementing and defending. Lara's style can effectively make up for the lack of defense, and according to the current situation, Fiorentina will be able to participate in Serie A next season, and if they are lucky, they can also participate in the European Cup Winners' Cup. Ferrara himself will not have any opinions .

********

This season, Naples has achieved good results under the leadership of "Silver Fox" Lippi and is currently ranked fifth in Serie A.

The fans who were frustrated by Naples' massive blood loss in the summer rejoiced for the team's wonderful performance this season, but the team captain Ferrara and coach Lippi knew that this might be Naples' last glory.

In the current Naples team, many players in the team are temporarily loaned from other teams. The most famous one is Di Canio, who was loaned from Juventus. If you stay in Naples, it is impossible for the debt-laden club to have the good luck of last summer to put together a competitive lineup.

Therefore, many Naples players, including captain Ferrara, are actively looking for a next home. According to gossip, coach Lippi has even confirmed that he will coach the giants Juventus next season. Bringing Ferrara to Turin... Naples' top executives also acquiesced to these behaviors of players and coaches. In their view, Naples now has no "not for sale". As long as the price is right, anyone can sell it.

It was at this special moment that Zhuang Mingge and Karin came to the precarious Naples.

The general manager of Naples, who had been notified early, welcomed Zhuang Mingge and Karin graciously to the high-level reception room after learning of their arrival.

Without too much politeness and hypocrisy, the two parties immediately got to the point after a brief exchange of pleasantries.

"I don't know what kind of price Chairman Corleone wants to offer for our team's Chiro Ferrara?" The general manager of Naples was obviously used to such a scene and started the negotiation first.

"For $400 million, Fiorentina can pay that up front now, plus half ownership of our youth striker Francisco Flacchi."

"Chairman Corleone, I like a straightforward person like you. You are much more generous than those nasty northern teams. I know that Juventus manager Moggi opened the door for Chiro (Ferrara) on the phone a few days ago. What kind of offer has been made? 200 million US dollars! It will be paid in 12 months!! This is still the highest offer among all teams!!!" The general manager of Naples said depressedly, "To be honest, the current Naples We urgently need liquidity, we can’t even pay the players’ salaries now, if you can pay the 400 million US dollars now, it will really help Naples a lot!”

It seems that out of dissatisfaction with Juventus and other teams "taking advantage of the fire" and worrying about the club's financial difficulties, the general manager said happily that when Naples received 400 million remittances, Florence could send someone to Ferrara We negotiated a work contract.

What about Ferrara?Who cares!In the eyes of these Naples executives now, there are only money, and the players are just a tool to make money.

Zhuang Minge immediately wrote out a check for 400 million US dollars and handed it to the general manager of Naples. Afterwards, the two parties immediately signed a contract on the transfer.The remaining thing is to discuss personal treatment with Ferrara himself.But are these problems for the eager Naples?Zhuang Mingge didn't even leave the Naples club, just sat in the reception room and waited for Ferrara who rushed here from the training ground - after the two parties reached a transfer intention, the general manager had already sent someone to find Ferrara Pulled over.

However, the negotiation with Ferrara on personal treatment proceeded so quickly that the general manager introduced Ferrara and Zhuang Mingge respectively. He took out a contract and handed it to Ferrara: "Mr. Ferrara, please ask your agent to see if there is anything wrong with this contract. If there is nothing that needs to be changed, just sign it here !"

Ferrara looked through the contract briefly, and then quickly wrote his name on the contract under the astonished eyes of everyone in the room: "Mr. Corleone, when can I report to the team next season?" ?”

"Uh... the arrangement of the training camp is in the charge of our head coach! There will be professionals in the club who can help you with things like arranging accommodation, transferring children, etc. You just need to remember to report directly to the club when the time comes..."

In this regard, Ferrara had no objection, just shrugged his shoulders: "I remember these things!" Then he turned to the general manager of Naples next to him, "Thank you very much for the training of Naples over the years! I am here these seasons I had a very good time, and I believe this will become an important part of my career." Seeing Mr. General Manager nodded, the two exchanged a few words, nothing more than "Thank you for your contribution to the team over the years. Your contribution, the fans of Naples will never forget you", and finally ended with Ferrara's sentence: "I need to go back now and continue to prepare for the next league game with other people, and I also need to pack some personal items!" for the end.

Three days later, Moggi, who had finally completed the transfer of Pessoto and Juliano, was about to take his assistants to Naples to force the other party to sell Ferrara at a low price. Seeing a piece of news in the booth, Mr. Moji was so angry that he almost vomited blood and died:

"Violet adds more support!Ferrara confirmed to join next season! "
