Although the four old men were old, they still had torches in their eyes and recognized Li Sheng at a glance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, Patricio did a full set of acts, and said with a smile: "This is Li Sheng." He said he wanted to get to know Uncle Bruno, so I came with him. ”

Hearing what he said, the other three old men greeted Li Sheng calmly, and then found a reason to leave. Watching a few friends leave, the elder Carvalho smiled and said to Li Sheng: "I am very honored that Mr. Li is willing to meet me, an old man." ”

Of course, Li Sheng was looking for him for a purpose. He smiled and said, "Mr. Carvalho, you can call me Li or Li Sheng." ”

"Good. Then, Lee, you can also call me Bruno. "Carvalho Sr. isn't really very old. "But why are you interested in me as an old man? haha. ”

Patricio was also about to retire at this time, and said with a smile: "Uncle Bruno, Lee, you talk, I'll go over there and have a drink with my friends." ”

After he left, Li Sheng smiled and said to Carvalho Sr.: "Bruno, you know, my Silent Farm is in the Amazon plain. There are a lot of Native American kids there who also enjoy playing football. ”

"It's true that boys in Brazil grew up playing football. ”

Li Sheng heard him say this, smiled, and said: "In addition, almost all big cities in Brazil have slums. There are also a lot of star seedlings for the children there. ”

"You're right. Many of Brazil's players have come out of the slums. ”

Li Sheng nodded and said, "But in fact, there may be more good seedlings who have to give up playing football because of chance, and may even have to go on the road of crime in order to survive." ”

"So what do you mean, Lee?"

Li Sheng put away his smile and said, "I plan to build a football school in Silent Farm, and accept Indian children and slum children who like to play football for free. I plan to not only teach cultural knowledge in this school, but also give these children a chance to play football. ”

"I admire your kindness. But you're looking for me because?"

"I want those kids to be educated in European football, but it's hard for me to find the right talent, so I hope I can get your help. ”

"But why did you come to me? Is it because I'm the president of a football club?"

Li Sheng smiled and said: "Because Atletico Portugal has produced a club with superstars such as Figo, Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani, and you are the president of the club with the best youth training in Europe. ”

Carvalho Sr. laughed at his compliment and said, "You are right, young man. Atletico de Portugal is indeed one of the best clubs in Europe in terms of youth development. But what do Atletico de Portugal get if I help you?"

Li Sheng chose Atletico Portugal only because the club is one of the big three in the Portuguese Super League, but also because its youth training work is really good. Another reason, of course, is that it was here that he happened to meet Carvalho Sr.

Carvalho Sr. mentioned the benefits, and Li Sheng was not disgusted. In the West, friendship is friendship, business is business, and the two are clearly separated.

And he also has a problem with this question: "I know that the current economic situation of Atletico de Portugal is not very good lately. ”

He had enough money to buy the team. But he has no plans to do so for the time being.

"So I'm not going to let Atletico Portugal add to the burden to help me. Li Sheng said seriously. "I can afford it. ”

Seeing that the old Carvalho was still silent, he continued: "If the children of the football school have been exposed to European football, I think they will easily integrate into the atmosphere of European football. At the same time, they will not be registered players in Brazil in the future, they will all sign exclusive economic contracts with me, and if they are trained, you can buy these players first. Of course, it can also be rented. If a loan player is sold to another team, you can get 30% of the transfer fee for Atletico Portugal. ”

Carvalho Sr. still smiled and shook his head, clearly not satisfied with the conditions. Li Sheng did not continue to increase the weight, but said: "Bruno, will you have any losses in this cooperation?"

"It's true, but it's not much. Carvalho Sr. said with a smile. "The right of first refusal does not guarantee anything. In addition, we have a large number of young players in Atletico Portugal who need to be developed, and it is impossible to give too many training opportunities to the loan players for the 30% transfer fee. So the conditions you are talking about are not enough to impress us. ”

Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "But you are only sending a few coaches, and you don't need to spend all the expenses." As long as you get a genius, you may be able to earn more than 10 million euros. ”

Portugal has become a player training base for the big five leagues, and of course, they are also black. It's not surprising that a player who plays well sells for tens of millions of euros.

"But why do we do things that don't see the benefits?"

Li Sheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Okay, I can pay 500,000 a year." How?"

Although half a million euros is not much, it is also an income. And as Li Sheng said, doing something like that is not a loss for Atletico Portugal, if you are lucky, you may be able to get a few good young players.

But Carvalho Sr. was not satisfied: "Three million euros. ”

Li Sheng smiled and raised his wine glass and said, "Then we can't talk about it anymore." Maybe I should go to the Netherlands. ”

Atletico de Portugal, known as Sporting Lisbon by fans, was once the second team to be traded in the Portuguese league. But the 117-year-old club has not had a stellar record. It's been a long time since the domestic league has won the title. The European record is even more pitiful. Fellow Portuguese giants Benfica and Porto have both won the European Championship, while they have only one Cup Winners' Cup in their history.

So the team isn't actually in a very good situation. At the end of the last century, an economic storm in Asia seemed to have affected Europe as well, with the smaller teams in the major leagues struggling financially. As a result, clubs have had to change their business strategies and set up companies one after another.

It was in 1998 that Atlético de Portugal corporatized its football division and listed it in Lisbon. Football listed companies, want to guarantee the stock price, one is to sell players for a profit, but that is not a long-term solution, and the other is to achieve good results.

But it's clear that this team doesn't have a very good record. In the nearly two decades of the twentieth century, he has only won two league titles, the last of which was in '02, and has not won a domestic league title for 17 years. The domestic cup has been won four times, the latest of which was the year before. If it weren't for the fact that most of the club's shares were bought by fans, perhaps Atletico de Portugal's shares would not be worth much money anymore. Of course, these Li Sheng are not clear.

Li Sheng has no idea of buying European football clubs for the time being. One is that he is too lazy to do these things, and the second is that he doesn't know much about football.

"It's a pity, but hopefully we'll have the opportunity to work together in the future. Although Bruno rejected Li Sheng's offer of cooperation. But he didn't want to offend Li Sheng, after all, this young man was very rich.

Li Sheng smiled and said, "I hope so too." ”

The two didn't say anything more. Li Sheng touched a glass with him, took a sip of champagne, and left with Tia.

After walking away, Tia asked Li Sheng in Chinese: "Li, do you have to cooperate with them? Or set up a team composed of students from all football schools." ”

Li Sheng listened to her ignorance and said with a smile: "It is not difficult to set up a football team, but if you want to play in a high-level league, you have to upgrade step by step." And in Portugal it is not all Brazilian players either. ”

Tia didn't know anything about football, and when she heard him say this, she knew that she had revealed her intelligence, and she blushed and whispered: "I didn't mean to be in Portugal, but in Brazil." ”

Li Sheng thought about it, what Tia said was not unreasonable. Even if you find a club to work with in Europe, it will not be easy to send young players to Europe. It's a completely different time for the Brazilian team. Of course, foreign partner clubs are not without. There isn't much to be accommodated by a Brazilian club.

For Europe, it is impossible for him to keep an eye on the big five leagues. Because those leagues probably won't change too many opportunities for young players. So he's staring at those little leagues. In addition, Huaxia can also absorb some players.

But it's not a big deal right now. Because most of the students he intends to recruit are between eleven and fourteen years old. It will take at least three years for these students to appear on the professional stage.

It's just that having a team of your own should also give those young players more confidence.

He was thinking about it when Fernando came over with his bride: "Lee, I was very happy to see you and Bruno chatting just now. You know him, too?"

"I didn't know each other before, but when I met him, I talked to him about football. He briefed him on what he had just done.

Fernando pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "I see. I'll talk to him and see if I can get him to change his mind. In fact, he is not only a fan of Atletico Portugal, but also owns 3% of the club's shares, which is a relatively large shareholder.

Li Sheng smiled and thanked him, "Then I'll wait for your news." ”

There are so many guests at the wedding, and most of these guests are of extraordinary status. Mr. and Mrs. Fernando could not have spoken to him for too long. After they left, Li Sheng did not take the initiative to talk to others.

However, he is completely different from when he attended Raimondo's wedding before. He wanted to hide and relax, but others would come and talk to him. Of course, these people also know each other. Perhaps these people work in an industry that has little to do with agriculture, but no one can ignore the richest man in the world.

After dealing with more than a dozen strangers, Li Sheng found Tia stomping her feet lightly and asked, "Are your feet tired?"

"Well, heels aren't used to it yet. ”

Today, Tia wore a white off-the-shoulder knee-length dress, and before coming, she did a look at the hotel's beauty salon. His hair was coiled up, and he was wearing jewelry specially made by Li Sheng, and he looked like he was about sixteen years old, but he was petite and short. The stylist chose a pair of shoes with a higher heel for her.

In the past, she rarely wore shoes with heels longer than five centimeters, but this pair of shoes was about eight centimeters, and it almost became a hate. It's normal to be unaccustomed to wearing shoes like this. So he grabbed her by the belt, and she found a place to sit down. Maybe it's because he's avoiding it, so there are basically no more people who come to talk to him. (To be continued.) )
