Chapter 448 Six Quotations
"You want to buy Li for 6000 million pounds?" Ferguson shook his head, unable to see whether it was anger or ridicule, and put down Chelsea's offer.

Jill looked at Ferguson, and the CEO of Manchester United didn't say anything. He showed the four quotations to Ferguson, just to hear Ferguson's attitude, which is very important. Impossible, although Jill also shoulders a task today, that is, the American boss asked him to persuade Ferguson to sell when "Li Rui is the most prosperous", but Jill is not so stupid x, he knows, this is purely The American boss is wishful thinking. No one knows better than Jill that Ferguson values ​​Li Rui. Ferguson trained Li Rui as the future leader of Manchester United!

Jill believes that as soon as he reveals that he wants to sell Li Rui, this old Scottish man will go crazy and will not show him any sympathy. In Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson's authority cannot be doubted.

However, Jill didn't give up, he wanted to observe Ferguson's attitude before speaking.

The Manchester United CEO certainly knows the importance of Li Rui to Manchester United, but he doesn't want to think about the team's tactics. What he needs to consider is the wishes of the American boss and the potential impact of this deal on Manchester United. What a net gain!To be used to plump up Manchester United's financial statements.Or simply put, it is used to help American bosses repay huge debts and interest.

***********
Real Madrid's offer is 5500 million euros, which seems to be much less than Chelsea's offer. However, the Real Madrid people seem to have this kind of confidence. After all, the Bernabéu Stadium is something that no player will lightly refuse.

If the deal goes through, it would be Calderon's most expensive signing since he became Real Madrid president.

Hateful Real Madrid people.

"David, did their people contact Li?" Ferguson asked David Gill.

The CEO of Manchester United rolled his eyes, meaning that you shouldn't ask me about this matter, you know it best, can I know your players better than you?
It is not unreasonable for Jill to understand this way. There has always been a rumor in English football that Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has always hired private detectives to monitor his players, including the personal life of the players. It's a good baby, although, this is really unrealistic.

***********
Ferguson remembered that Real Madrid had indeed contacted Li Rui and his agent in private, and Li Rui had also confessed to Ferguson about this.What Li Rui said was that he did receive a call from Real Madrid, but he refused.

This happened last year. At that time, the chairman of Real Madrid was Florentino, and now it has been replaced by Calderon. However, who can guarantee that Calderon will not contact Li Rui in private?
Ferguson is very vigilant about this kind of poaching behavior by Real Madrid. In fact, when Real Madrid poached Figo from Barcelona, ​​​​the methods were not very bright. What's more, in the matter of Beckham's transfer to Real Madrid, Real Madrid also has a shadow behind it.

'It seems that we need to have a good communication with the young man. Ferguson put down the faxed offer from Real Madrid and picked up the offer from AC Milan.

***********
Seeing Ferguson pick up the quotation from AC Milan, Jill showed a smile, and he said silently in his heart, 'One, two, three——'

When he had just meditated to the third, sure enough, Ferguson crumpled up the quotation from AC Milan and threw it on the ground.

What made the old Scot so angry?
Let's take a look at the offer AC Milan boss Silvio Berlusconi made for the Manchester United number 10 who knocked out the Rossoneri in the semi-finals -

3000 million euros + Oliveira!

Well, it should be said that on paper, the offer from the Rossoneri is very sincere. You must know that Oliveira was worth 1700 million euros when he joined AC Milan from Real Betis in La Liga a season ago. Calculated in this way, AC Milan's offer will be close to 5000 million euros. This price is already a rare big deal for the Rossoneri, which has a tendency to tighten money in recent years.

***********
However, the problem lies in the Brazilian striker Oliveira's worth of 1700 million euros. After a season, this Mr. Oliveira has been labeled as the biggest parallel importer in Serie A last season. Corresponding to Shevchenko being labeled as the biggest parallel importer in the Premier League last season, it highlights a truth that Shevchenko's move to Chelsea is a lose-lose outcome for both Milan and Chelsea!

Now, according to the estimate of "All Market", Oliveira's worth should be within 1000 million euros. In just one season, Oliveira has shrunk by almost half.

Calculated in this way, AC Milan is only willing to pay a transfer fee of less than 4000 million euros for Li Rui. No wonder Ferguson is so angry. You know, when Manchester United bought Li Rui from Leeds United, it cost 3300 million. Pound sterling, now that Li Rui has won the Triple Crown, is it worth 4000 million euros?
Whether Ferguson is willing to sell is one thing, but your offer from AC Milan is another matter. One yard is worth one yard. Berlusconi's offer made Ferguson very angry. This is obviously looking down on people! !
***********
The last quotation from Manchester City, the quotation of 6300 million pounds, was the highest quotation among the four clubs. Could it be that Manchester City is more powerful than those three giants?
However, Ferguson was not surprised by the offer from his rival in the same city.

Because in the recent period, you can hear various rumors about the new boss of Manchester City every day. The latest and most reliable news is that former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra will become the new owner of "Blue Moon". Interest in the Premier League is not something that happens in a day or two. The Premier League has a huge influence in Southeast Asia. It is not a shocking big news that the rich and powerful former president of Thailand bought a Premier League club.

In addition, there is another point, that is, Thaksin’s acquisition of Manchester City and Abramovich’s acquisition of Chelsea have the same point. They are both suspected of money laundering. The acquisition of Manchester City is not without the idea of ​​​​washing the money in his hands for nothing.What could be safer than laundering money in the transfer market?

***********
In addition, Manchester City has no choice but to buy someone, and to buy a top star like Li Rui.

Although it is the general trend for foreign capital to enter the Premier League clubs, the vast majority of England fans still have strong resistance to this behavior.

Abramovich, the rich Russian owner of Chelsea, or the Glazer family, the rich American owner of Manchester United, have encountered great resistance and distrust after acquiring Chelsea and Manchester United. Now, Thaksin, as a native of Thailand, a small Southeast Asian country, Moreover, he is a former prime minister and is now wanted by the current government of his country. It is conceivable that Manchester City fans have stronger resistance to Thaksin. On the one hand, the fans are xenophobic, and on the other hand, they are indeed worried that Thaksin will use Manchester City to launder money. .

He believed this very well, so before he officially announced that he was the new owner of Manchester City, he couldn't wait to send a quotation to Manchester United, the arch rival in the same city, asking to buy Manchester United's most popular star Li Rui.

If Li Rui can be dealt with in the end, Thaksin's purpose will be achieved. What he wants is to rely on this explosive acquisition to appease the hearts of Manchester City fans. It doesn't take much to know that Manchester City fans will definitely welcome a man who is willing to do so. They brought the new boss of the most popular star of the rivals Manchester United in the same city!
Having said so much, in a word, Manchester City will usher in a new owner, moreover, a rich owner who is willing to spend a lot of money to buy someone!

***********
"Alex, what's on your mind?" Jill looked at Ferguson.

"No." Ferguson replied without hesitation, "I won't sell it for any price." Just kidding, Ferguson puts a lot of value on Li Rui, and even trained Li Rui as the future standard-bearer of the Manchester United team. Where would he sell him?Besides, Sir Ferguson could see clearly that if he sold Li Rui, no matter how much money he spent, he would not be able to buy such an outstanding player!
Li Rui's talent and strength; Li Rui's hard work; Li Rui's personal life is also very clean, all of which make Ferguson very satisfied. How could he sell the team's offensive core and future standard-bearer?
Although he had already guessed Ferguson's answer, Jill was still a little disappointed when he heard Ferguson's refusal so directly and simply.

"Don't think about it anymore?" Jill asked. He saw Ferguson looking up at him very unfriendly, and smiled awkwardly. "Okay, about the players, you make up your mind, and I won't interfere."

***********
Li Rui, who was staying at home in Manchester, received a call from his agent Rodriguez, who told Li Rui some news.

First of all, the Manchester United Club offered to renew the contract with Li Rui. In fact, the contract between Li Rui and Manchester United will expire in 3 years. At this time, it is a bit early to discuss the contract renewal.

Li Rui was also a little puzzled, so he asked Rodriguez if there was any reason?
"Guess what?" Rodriguez said with a smile on the other end of the phone.

Li Rui knew something was going on as soon as he heard it. He thought for a while and asked, "How many calls have you received?" Li Rui guessed that there should be a team wanting to buy him.

"There are six or seven." Rodriguez said, and he told Li Rui on the phone.

***********
In fact, Rodriguez received calls from two other clubs besides the four that faxed their quotations to Manchester United.

One is La Liga giants Barcelona. Rijkaard also admires Li Rui very much. In addition, Barcelona knows that Real Madrid is very fond of Li Rui. Of course, if Li Rui can really be bought, Rijkaard will naturally be happier.

***********
There is also Juventus, which has just returned to Serie A from the Italian Serie B this season. The "Old Lady" has experienced the sharpening and pains of the Italian Serie B after the phone call, and is eager to rebuild the glory of the giants. What better way to show your determination and boldness than buying a popular star?
As the hero of Manchester United's triple crown this season and the star who scored a hat-trick in the Champions League final, Li Rui undoubtedly meets the requirements of Juventus.

However, the old lady rarely spends a lot of money when buying people, and this time is no exception. When they talked with Rodriguez on the phone, they expressed Juventus's favor for Li Rui, and When Rodriguez asked how much Juventus was willing to pay, the answer Juventus gave was a cash + exchange player plan——

Trezeguet + 2500 million euros!
To be honest, this plan is not necessarily better than AC Milan's Oliveira + 3000 million euros. Trezeguet's current worth is only around 1500 million euros, which is very remarkable.

***********
After hearing what Rodriguez said, Li Rui curled his lips. When did the giants in Serie A become so petty?Not a little bit of the old 'Little World Cup' demeanor.

It's not that Li Rui wants to leave Manchester United and transfer to Serie A. It's mainly because of vanity. Whether it's the offer from AC Milan or Juventus, Li Rui is a little hurt——

Am I only worth 4000 million euros?The triple crown + defending three golden boots are only worth 4000 million euros?
Li Rui was upset.

Face matter is very important!

***********
As for the invitations from Chelsea and Real Madrid, Li Rui was not surprised. These two teams had offered Li Rui an olive branch before, and this time it was just a new round of offensive.

What surprised Li Rui was the offer from Manchester City. When did Manchester City become so rich?

Li Rui only cares about training, games, and playing football, and spends more time with the pregnant Jessica, so he doesn't know much about the big things that happen to the neighbors next door.

He listened to Rodriguez briefly talk about the new Manchester City boss Thaksin.

Li Rui said "Oh", he had heard about the former Prime Minister of Thailand. Of course, he only went abroad for a meeting because of Thaksin. When he returned to China, he found that there had been a coup in the country and he had to go into exile. At the beginning of the year, in the 21st century, there is such a thing as a coup?Tsk tsk, the world is full of wonders.

***********
Li Rui has no love for Manchester City.There is no doubt about this.

Even if Manchester City has Thaksin's capital injection, it can be regarded as an upstart at best. Don't blame Li Rui for thinking this way. In fact, this is the case. Compared with Manchester United, Manchester City really has nothing worth mentioning.

Maybe Manchester City has money and can give a pretty good salary, but they still can't win the allegiance of a champion-level player like Li Rui. Li Rui is now a top star, and what he pursues is more honors Well, money is no longer the most important thing to Li Rui. Of course, no one would want to earn more if possible, provided that he can't violate his own principles.

***********
In comparison, although Chelsea looks similar to Manchester City, Chelsea is different. The Blues have always been a traditional strong team in the Premier League. Note that it is a 'traditional strong team', not a 'traditional giant', and Abramovich Qi's capital injection has helped Chelsea complete an important step in the transformation into a wealthy family. Of course, Chelsea is not yet considered a wealthy family, but can only be regarded as a 'quasi-rich family'.

However, look at Chelsea's lineup, coach Mourinho is the champion coach, the team has Terry, Ashley Cole, Essien, Drogba, Ballack, Shevchenko, Lampard, Stars such as Makelele and Robben are not inferior to Manchester United and Arsenal. The only difference is the background of the giants.

Therefore, this is also the reason why many top stars are not too repulsed by Chelsea.

***********
"Robby, I'll leave these matters to you. I want to accompany Jessica well now." Li Rui said.Before the end of the season, because Li Rui was busy with the competition, he was always guilty of not being able to accompany the pregnant Jessica. Now it is a holiday, and he wants to make up for Jessica.

"Well, what do you mean?" Rodriguez asked with a smile.

"Of course it's a contract renewal negotiation. I don't think there is any reason to make me leave Manchester United now." Li Rui said with a smile, "Of course, my salary should be changed."

It's not that Li Rui is greedy for money. There is nothing to criticize in the legitimate pursuit of money. How much strength, how much contribution, and what kind of salary he gets are justified.

In the season that just ended, Li Rui helped Manchester United win the Triple Crown, and his salary is only at the middle level in the Manchester United team, so it is natural to ask for a salary increase.

"Okay, leave it to me." Rodriguez patted his chest and said, his income is linked to Li Rui's income, so for his own benefit, he will also help Li Rui raise his salary.

***********
Of course, the best way for an agent to earn a huge amount of money is to encourage the players under his banner to transfer back and forth in order to get a share of the transfer fee. Rodriguez also wants to do this, but he knows that he cannot influence Li Rui's decision. If Li Rui is dissatisfied, he can completely terminate the agent contract with him. Therefore, Rodriguez sticks to his creed and gets along very well with Li Rui. This is also the same as when Li Rui first came to Leeds United for trial training. He is still an unknown person, and Rodriguez is also impoverished, so the two can be regarded as 'communicating difficulties' and have a certain friendship, which is related.

Rodriguez's fortune is due to Li Rui, and Li Rui is now his number one star, and Li Rui's future is bright, Rodriguez does not want to be foolish and offend Li Rui.

***********
After finishing the phone call with Rodriguez, Li Rui's cell phone rang again.

"I'm really busy today—" Jessica said with a smile, Li Rui kissed Jessica on the cheek and picked up the phone again.It was Hai Shen calling.

"I called you just now, and the line has been busy. You boy, which woman are you having an affair with?" Hai Shen said, "I can't spit ivory out of a dog's mouth." Of course, he knew that Li Rui was in Manchester's home, and Jesse Stuck together, this is of course a joke.

"You can't be saved." Li Rui snorted, "Rodriguez was on the phone with me just now, and the team is going to talk to me about renewing the contract."

"Contract extension? Wow——" Haishen is indeed a 'professional agent', he immediately reacted, and asked in surprise, "Tell me, tell me the truth, how many wealthy families are flirting with you?"

"I said, can you say something high-level and interesting? Vulgar!!" Li Rui cursed with a smile, and told Haishen what Rodriguez said on the phone just now.

***********
"Juventus, AC Milan? Well, there's Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Chelsea? And Manchester City?!" Haishen clicked his tongue twice, "I can't tell, you're still a sweet potato now?"

"That's right! After all, he's also a Triple Crown winner." Li Rui said stinkingly.

"I said you are fat and you are still out of breath?" Hai Shen said, although he said so, he was still very emotional in his heart. When Li Rui met him, he was still a student of Beijing Institute of Technology. In the blink of an eye, 4 Years have passed, and Li Rui has become a top player. This is simply a heaven and an underground.The reason why Haishen likes to talk to Li Rui in such an unscrupulous way is that on the one hand, Haishen's nature is like this, and on the other hand, he subconsciously feels that talking to Li Rui in this way allows him to truly feel that talking to himself is important. A friend named Li Rui, the two are friends, not just a cold working relationship between an agent and a top star.

***********
Naturally, Li Rui didn't know the change in Hai Shen's heart, and the two chatted for a while, uh, rather than chatting, it's better to say that Hu Tianhai was blowing for a while.Li Rui also likes this feeling very much, he really regards Haishen as his brother, buddy!A buddy who can chop off chicken heads and burn yellow paper to worship! !

When hanging up the phone, Hai Shen suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "I guess, you will definitely receive a call from someone in the past two days."

"Whose phone number?" Li Rui asked subconsciously.He was a little dazed when he heard Haishen say the name, thinking that it shouldn't be possible, but unexpectedly, the next day, Li Rui received a call from that person.

"Tsk, this buddy has caught up with the half-immortal—" Li Rui shook his head and pressed the answer button.
