Super Marshal

As a well-known real estate tycoon in Europe, Florentino’s skills and knowledge are far beyond what people in the football world can match. This also enabled him to succeed Sanz in 2000 and become the chairman of Real Madrid. Soon he became the core member of the European giant club group G14.

With the help of the G14 platform, Florentino has an extraordinary relationship with many European giants, which has also become a guarantee that he has never missed a hand in recruiting superstars.

After arriving in Milan, he had dinner with Moratti, Berlusconi, Galliani and others. Many things were negotiated at the dinner table, such as Inter Milan’s Cristiano Ronaldo’s transfer. Know the intention.

Just after talking with Kaka’s father Bosco in the morning, Florentino invited Galliani for dinner at noon, and planned to hold a three-party signing ceremony in the hotel’s conference room in the afternoon to formally reach an agreement.

Although it is only a secret agreement, as soon as it is signed, Kaka basically belongs to Real Madrid.

After a boulder of heart fell, Florentino was in a bad mood. After an hour of lunch break, he went to the meeting room with Galliani and talked and laughed while waiting for the arrival of Kaka and his son.

The main topic is undoubtedly the current Serie A situation.

"In the past two years, Moratti has been following the strategy developed by Gao Han. In the past two years, the team's midfielder has been updated and iterated, including Bonucci, Yaya Toure, Marchisio and Many players including Hamsik gradually provoked the backbone and performed very well."

Speaking of this, Galliani's eyes showed envy, even a little jealousy, unconcealed.

These treasures are all left over from the alpine period, and they have become the pillars of Inter Milan today.

"It is precisely because of the metabolism of the midfield and the backcourt that Inter Milan will set the goal of this summer's team on the frontcourt trident, because they need to sell their superstar players to cash out, in exchange for a considerable amount of money to invest in new The construction of the stadium."

"After all, Moratti is out of money." Galliani said in a funny and helpless tone.

Moratti is out of money, isn't Berlusconi too?

Italy's economy has not improved in recent years, and is even getting worse, which makes Galliani deeply worried.

Without the support of a strong economy, how can professional football be played well?

What's more, the Serie A is far less open than the Premier League, and foreign investors are rarely interested in them.

"From my negotiations with Moratti, I can also feel it." Florentino agreed with Galliani's judgment.

"Even if Inter Milan has sold the superstar in the frontcourt, they are still very confident about the new season of Serie A."

"Yeah." Galliani did not deny, "Alpine left a solid foundation. Players such as Cambiasso, Adriano, Evra, Cesar and Maicon are all in their prime. Young players such as Ya Toure, Hamsik and Bonucci have grown rapidly and succeeded smoothly. Even if I really sell Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo, it will have little impact on Inter Milan."

"I heard that they had contacted Argentina striker Diego Milito a long time ago?" Florentino asked tentatively.

"There are such rumors, but I don't know the specifics." Galliani smiled.

"Juventus has developed very fast in the past two seasons, but to be honest, the foundation is still too weak. Whether it is the club's management ability or the team's overall strength, it has not returned to the level before the relegation."

Galliani shook his head with a wry smile, "As long as Inter Milan continues to follow the route set out by Alpine, in the next two or three years, it is estimated that no team will be able to challenge their dominance until their new stadium is completed..."

At the end, Galliani suddenly shook his head and sighed, "Even though Gao Han has been away for two years, he still rules Serie A."

This is undoubtedly a desperate thing.

Such words came from characters like Galliani, and Florentino couldn't help being moved.

There are many legends about Alpine, and even he is far more than a head coach, but it is a pity that Florentino understands in his heart that Alpine will not come to coach Real Madrid.

At least not in a short time.

Because after he met with Jorge Mendes, the Portuguese agent clearly told Florentino that Alpine did not consider returning to La Liga in a short period of time, and politely declined the invitation of Real Madrid.

It is precisely because of this that Florentino can't wait to finish the matter at hand and immediately flew from Madrid to Milan to personally manage the transfers of Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ibrahimović Matters.

Fortunately, everything is going well now.

Thinking of this, Florentino rolled up his left wrist and checked the time on the watch. It was already the time agreed by both parties, but why hadn't Kaka and his son come yet?

Florentino frowned strangely, and Bardano, who was standing next to him, approached and asked in a soft voice: "Should I call and ask?"

The President of Real Madrid thought for a while and shook his head: "No, let's wait."

But the more I waited, the more I felt uneasy, and I always felt that something bad was about to happen.

After years of experience in shopping malls, Florentino has developed a keen sense of smell. He always feels that Bosco in the morning is very proactive. The signing of the contract should come early in the afternoon. Why is he late?

He also has an ominous premonition in his heart, because he has been taking advantage of the high cold intentionally or unconsciously.

This is a normal thing at the business negotiation table, using information asymmetry to create a negotiation situation.

And once the agreement was signed with Kaka, even if Gao Han did not come, Real Madrid could evade the fact that they did their best, but Gao Han refused to come to the Bernabéu to coach. This is the truth and it can be said with peace of mind, isn't it?

But in case...

Just when Florentino's thoughts came to light, the door of the conference room finally knocked.

After the door opened, I saw Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes standing alone outside the door.

He is also one of Kaka’s agents, but he has never participated in this transfer negotiation from start to finish.

This surprised both Florentino and Galliani, who have always been good at watching people.

"Excuse me, Mr. Florentino, I'm very sorry, Kaka can't transfer to Real Madrid."

It was Jorge Mendes, whose face was thicker than the city wall. When he talked about this kind of remorse, his face was not red or breathless, but he still felt a little for granted.

Florentino's heart jumped, and he whispered. Sure enough, the ominous premonition was confirmed.

But on the bright side, he still smiled with a gentleman's smile, "Why? Jorge, is it that he is not satisfied with the treatment of the contract or the individual terms? It doesn't matter, we can talk about it."

"No, no, Mr. Florentino, absolutely not." Mendes smiled and shook his head. "We are very moved by Real Madrid's sincerity. We have no opinion on the treatment or terms, but..."

Florentino still looked at Mendes with a smile, waiting for him to continue.

"It's just... he really can't go to Real Madrid."

"Why?" Florentino asked with a smile.

As a well-known real estate tycoon in Europe, even if he just didn't laugh, he sat there with an aura.

But who is Mendes?

How many winds and waves have been accustomed to in the past few years, where would you be afraid?

"I believe that Mr. Florentino also knows very well that Kaka has always wanted to play in the high cold, so he agreed to join Real Madrid. For the same reason, he can't go to the Bernabeu now. ."

Jorge Mendes’ words meant a bit of a counterattack. He pierced Florentino’s previous intentional or unintentional borrowing behavior, and clearly told Florentino that it was not Kaka’s repentance, but that you were almost fooled by you. Up.

Florentino is no ordinary person, knowing that it is irreversible now.

From the first time he saw Bosco, he knew very well that as long as Gao Han came forward, Kaka and his son would not have a second choice, so he mentioned Gao Han from beginning to end, repeatedly emphasizing Real Madrid. Will do my best to invite Gao Han to coach.

It now appears that Gao Han has come forward.

"Mr. Gao Han has come to Milan too?" Florentino asked with a smile.

Hearing his tone, it seems that Gao Han has come to Milan, and he must visit.

"No, he is now in Bilbao."

"Bilbao?" Of course Florentino knows this place, but he is a little curious about how Alpine is there, and it is strange that since Alpine is in Bilbao, how to convince Kaka?

Mendes is also a wise man. Knowing the meaning of the inquiry in Florentino's eyes, he hesitated and nodded: "Kaka and his son were already on their way to the hotel, but Gao Han called him."

"What did you say?" Galliani asked.

This is related to AC Milan’s 65 million euro transfer income. Once this income is gone, the Rossoneri will have no money to invest in transfer operations this summer, not to mention the financial pressure on the club after leaving Kaka. Will greatly improve.

"Nothing." Mendes smiled at the two of them. "Gao Han just said that he was going to Manchester City and hoped that Kaka would also play for Manchester City, but Kaka seemed to hesitate for no more than five seconds before agreeing."

After speaking, Mendes still smiled triumphantly.

It is indeed worth showing off, because looking at the entire Europe, except for the high cold, there is no other person who has this ability. Only a call in less than one minute can disturb Real Madrid for a sum of more than 60 million euros. Superstar signings.

Florentino also felt very helpless about this, because his opponent was Alpine.

Invincible Alpine!

It can be said that as long as Gao Han comes forward, he has already lost.

"There is one thing I am very surprised, why he would rather choose Manchester City than to come to our Real Madrid?" Florentino felt very unwilling, he wanted to know why.

To be sincere, he dare to say that he will never be less than Manchester City, but why is Manchester City instead of Real Madrid?

"He is a very emotional person, Florentino, he is different from us." Mendes also seldom answered frankly.

In fact, the three big men present are all of the same type, businessmen.

But Alpine is not.

Florentino understood, and knew that this matter was not discussed.

Even though he was shocked, he could afford to put it down~www.readwn.com~ Jorge, there should be something you want to tell me, right? "Florentino sat back in his seat, waved his right hand, with a mighty spirit despite coming up.

Mendes was dismantled, and nodded with a wry smile: "I will inform you by the way that there is no way to continue the negotiation of Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer for the time being."

With Kaka's matter just now, Florentino is psychologically prepared for Cristiano Ronaldo's matter.

It was also the first time he felt that the original Real Madrid's golden sign and the capital he was most proud of were not omnipotent.

Galliani on the side felt even more creepy.

It was the first time that he had personally experienced the influence of Gao Han's ability to turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain with just a phone call.

so horrible!
