"Boss, IMHO, although Milan has a deep foundation, they have no money now."

In a hotel suite in the capital city, agent Tony Moretti has arrived at Long Shute:

"We know almost nothing about the background of this China-Europe sports. If you don't say anything else, they will definitely not be able to give Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris, and even Liverpool and Arsenal are probably more financially capable than them."

"Well, I know you don't have that high salary requirement, but they just completed the acquisition, how much more can they invest in signings?"

Moretti looked at her employer:

"Bayern's asking price is very clear, 120 million euros. I'm worried that Milan can't even make up the money now. If the transfer is not possible, what will Bayern think? We will become a joke in Europe..."

"Relax, Tony."

Long Shute still had a faint smile on his face:

"We don't need to worry about that much. If he can't even pay my transfer fee, there is naturally no possibility of negotiation. Crom, they are probably coming, you go and prepare to welcome it."

-

"Mr. Long is such a trustworthy person, thank you for waiting for us."

Three months later, Long Shute met Li Yonghong again, and Han Li was also with him. Judging from their appearance, they were really busy these days.

"The two moves so fast, and finally didn't let me wait in vain. Please sit down."

Long Shute smiled and shook hands with them, and then introduced his agent to the other party.

Several people sat down.

Li Yonghong apologized first:

"The acquisition of a club is much more complicated than I thought, so we delayed another two days in Milan. We got off the plane just now and came in too haste. Mr. Long laughed."

After a few greetings between the two sides, they turned to the topic.

"The wise man doesn't say secret words," Long Shute signaled Krom to bring tea to the other party. "Bayern's meaning is very clear. They won't stop me, but they will have to have a transfer fee of 120 million euros. I also told Han Dong last time."

"There is no problem with the transfer fee. We left Gagliani just to let him bargain with Bayern. This old guy is very good at this," Li Yonghong smiled. "Of course, even if Bayern bite the price, we can afford it. I'm here today to talk to Mr. Long about the future."

"future?"

"That's right," the mysterious businessman nodded, "We acquired Milan in order to prepare for the big plan. Mr. Long is an extremely important part of our plan, so we attach great importance to you. It is precisely because of Mr. Long's verbal promise that we speed up the pace and even raise the price to complete the acquisition from Berlusconi."

Long Shute shook his head and smiled:

"I feel guilty for being so proud of Mr. Li."

"Mr. Long is modest," Han Li smiled and handed a folder to Moretti. "In order to express respect for Mr. Long, we are willing to provide the best salary and treatment. You can check it out first. If you are not satisfied, we will discuss..."

Long Shute did not go to see it in person. It was the job of an agent. If Moretti had any questions, he could also consult a legal counsel. All he needed to do was to master the general direction.

"Both of them were both capitalists and may not have a good understanding of European clubs, but that doesn't matter, because most business principles are the same. Come and have tea."

He reached out and made an invitation move, and continued:

"During this period, the media has been reporting on the news of Milan's change of ownership, and many reporters have also explored some behind-the-scenes news, but they seem to have no substantial progress. As a professional player, I don't care about the people behind the club, but I think... I should be qualified to listen to your plans for the club."

"Of course."

Li Yonghong blew the floating tea leaves.

With his permission, Han Li said to Long Shute:

"Milan's lineup is actually not very different from the previous season when he won the championship. Only a few players such as Ibrahimovic and Silva left the team. The fourth place in the league also shows that their strength is not satisfactory, at least they still have a certain competitiveness in the league.

In our plan, of course, we focus on Mr. Long as the core and appropriately strengthen some positions to build a team. As for short-term goals, striving for the first-year league championship and winning the Champions League championship within three years, such a goal... should not be too ambitious, right?"

Long Shute shrugged:

"I thought you were going to win the sixth crown in your first year."

Both of them laughed:

"Hahaha, Mr. Long was joking. Although we are businessmen who value short-term profits, we also know that football still needs some time to develop..."

"Boss," several people were chatting, and Moretti took advantage of the gap to come over. "This contract is still a typical Italian player contract, but they provide two types of salary calculation..."

"oh?"

Although Long Shute does not have much demand for money, he does not care about it at all.

In addition to the signing fee of up to 20 million euros, the other party provides two ways to calculate salary:

The first is the ordinary weekly salary system, with a basic weekly salary of 350,000 euros after tax, an annual salary of 18.2 million, an appearance fee and bonus, and conservative estimates, there is no big problem to get 22-25 million euros a year.

The second type is to reduce the basic weekly salary. It is only 120,000 euros per week after tax, and the annual salary is about 6.2 million yuan. However, in contrast, the contract has greatly increased the appearance fee and bonus, especially the prize money for goals and winnings, which have increased by four or five times. A Champions League goal can actually earn him 100,000 euros, and a Champions League championship can get 1 million yuan alone. If he is based on the efficiency and results of 108 goals last season, he can get more than 30 million euros in a season. Of course, if he suffers from major injuries, or continues to score a goal drought, or the team keeps losing, his income is likely to be greatly reduced, even less than 20 million yuan...

Long Shute looked at the contract and couldn't help but smile and shake his head:

“Is this my performance?”

"Mr. Long, don't get me wrong. We are of course very confident in your ability. The highest salary we have prepared in the world is higher than Messi and Ronaldo," Han Li quickly explained, "but considering the tax rate issue in Europe, if the second method is adopted, it can actually avoid a considerable proportion of taxes for the club. Of course, if Mr. Long thinks it is inappropriate, we can still use the first one..."

"Just follow the second type. I have no objection. This is also a kind of motivation for me."

Long Shute returned the contract to his agent and asked him to continue researching, but he changed his posture:

“I have other requirements in contrast to this.”

Li Yonghong smiled and nodded: "Please speak."

"It's mainly about signings," Long Shute looked at the two people on the opposite side. "Since you want to build a team with me as the core, I have the confidence to live up to my responsibilities and lead Milan back to the top. However, in signings, I need my own opinions to be respected. I will not ask that I have to buy Ronaldo and Messi. Even if I don't buy any of them except me, I won't have any opinions, but I don't want to buy a guy who doesn't like. After all, no one likes to play with a team with a player I don't like."

"Since we are in a cooperative relationship, your identity is not the same as other players," Han Li smiled. "Even if you don't mention it, we will do this. The team's signings will respect your opinions. What about other aspects?"

"I have a private opinion, let me tell you all here."

Long Shute thought about it and said it:

"To be honest, someone advised me to join a Chinese team whose boss has unpredictable strength, which is actually very worrying. You know, Drogba had to fight an international lawsuit with Shenhua some time ago because he was owed his salary. I don't want to become a joke myself."

Several people laughed. This incident did cause huge losses to Chinese football, and the reputation of the entire Chinese Super League club was ruined by a boss.

I heard Long Shute continue:

"Although someone manages my investments and the returns look pretty good, I'm not good at doing business, so I don't know whether you buy Milan for listing or other purposes. But in the final analysis, everyone hopes to make a lot of money in this club, and don't want the club to have too much turmoil. From a stable overall situation, I think... it's better to leave Galliani and the relevant managers for a period of time to spend this period, and try to avoid using people who have a relationship with Inter Milan or Juventus into the management, which will definitely cause disgust among fans and Milan celebrities."

Li Yonghong took a sip of tea:

"I will consider your suggestions. The fans' emotions need to be taken into consideration. After all, it is an Italian team. Unlike the domestic clubs, most of them have no foundation or foundation..."

Several people chatted for a while, and most of the details were basically agreed.

When it was time to say goodbye, Long Shute took the initiative to extend his hand:

"I'm waiting for your official offer."

Li Yonghong shook hands with him with a smile:

"You won't wait too long."

-

Just two days later, Bayern Club contacted Moretti.

"The fax of AC Milan has been confirmed by Bayern, with a total offer...120 million euros!"
Chapter completed!
