At lunchtime, Lin Mingyang and Aix went to the famous Potin restaurant in Madrid.

Founded in 1725, this restaurant is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest restaurant in the world. It is said that the famous Spanish painter Goya used to wash dishes at Potin before he became famous, and Hemingway called this restaurant the best restaurant in Madrid during his years in Spain.

Nowadays, this restaurant is still a meeting place for foodies, and the seats are very tight when it comes to meals, and Lin Mingyang finally booked a job, but Aix sat in this restaurant that looked like a medieval castle, facing the signature dishes roast lamb rou and roast pork on the table, but he couldn't mention too much food.

"Are you sure the big names from Real Madrid will dine here?" Looking at the seats around him that were almost full, Ex couldn't help but have doubts about Lin Mingyang's intentions on this trip.

Lin Mingyang glanced in the direction of the left, and Ex followed his gaze to see that there was indeed an empty spot in the corner of the window over there.

Ex leaned forward, deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "Who are you waiting for?" ”

Lin Mingyang, who was feasting on a table of delicious food, wiped the oil stains on his lips with a napkin, pouted and dropped a sentence:

"This roast pork tastes good, why don't you try it too?"

Ex rolled his eyes, he knew that Lin Mingyang was deliberately selling off, and he didn't bother to continue to ask, just stared at that corner. As soon as the other party appears, the answer will naturally be revealed.

It didn't take long for the waiter to lead a middle-aged man who was not good-looking. The reason why Real Madrid Club is known as the "Galaxy Battleship" in the football world is because here, in addition to the world's most valuable Cristiano Ronaldo, you can also see stars who can blurt out even "pseudo-ball mi" - Kaka, Torres, Alonso, Higuain, Guti, Raul and so on. Ex doesn't know much about football, but he's absolutely sure that this guy coming in is definitely not any of those stars.

"Are you wrong?" Ex gently bumped Lin Mingyang with his foot under the dining table, this guy is what you call a 'big fish'? ”

Lin Mingyang raised his head and glanced over there, and then asked rhetorically:

"Don't you think he's like that?"

Ex shook his head firmly, "I don't think he's a footballer at all."

Lin Mingyang had a very direct showdown this time, "You're right, that person is not a Real Madrid player at all." It is estimated that it is Real Madrid's ball mi, and few people know the name of this guy, but he is a key figure in the successful operation of Real Madrid over the years... Let me reintroduce you to the gentleman whose name is Ivan Bravi, who is currently the Director of Marketing at Real Madrid. ”

Ackes had long expected that Lin Mingyang would hit Real Madrid with the idea of digging the foot of the wall, but he never thought that this guy would pry the corner of the wall so deep that he would poach people from Real Madrid's management as soon as he made a move.

If it was such and such a big-name player, Ex might pay attention to it on the surface, but in his heart he probably didn't take the other party seriously at all, but when Lin Mingyang said the identity of that person, Ex's expression became solemn.

"Are you sure you can convince him?"

"It's a bit sure, but only if he's ambitious"

Lin Mingyang's faint smile showed a kind of absolute confidence, he took a napkin from the table, and wrote in English on it: "Do you want AC Milan to do big things?" ”。

After doing this, Lin Mingyang put the refolded napkins and 100 euros of xiao fee into the tray in the hands of the waiter who came to the call.

"Put the euro in your own pocket, the gentleman at this table."

The 100 euro xiao fee can be called a generous shot, and the waiter didn't think carefully about what Lin Mingyang was doing so much to send a napkin to that table, so he hurriedly sent the things over.

It didn't take long for the napkin to be sent back by the waiter, and Lin Mingyang spread it out in front of Exx, with "Yes" clearly written on it.

Ackes glanced at his lips, the scene always felt a little familiar to him, and Real Madrid's president Perez used the same way to poach French star Zinedine Zidane from Juventus. If Perez knew that Lin Mingyang's old trick was repeated and poached his confidant and favorite general by the same means, I don't know how he would feel in his heart.

Ex didn't have much time to care about what Perez would think afterwards at this time, because he saw that Ivan Bravi over there didn't even touch the food on the table and got up to check out, and Lin Mingyang also wiped his mouth with a napkin here.

Before Lin Mingyang asked the waiter to settle the bill, Ex hurriedly stuffed a few pieces of roast lamb rouge into his mouth, and then swept away the food on his plate like a wolf, he didn't want to follow Lin Mingyang to negotiate with others hungry.

――――

Bodin's restaurant is famous for its two specialties, but few people know that Ivan Bravi likes to eat the restaurant's paella. Ivan's hobby has been going on for many years, and even Perez, who knows him best in the club, doesn't know this "secret".

Years of careful observation of the professional habit that Ivan had developed over the years, he could see the strangeness on the ordinary napkin at a glance, and he was surprised that someone in Madrid could send him such a gift in such a familiar and almost arrogant way, even if it was a joke, and he wondered what kind of genius would have such a genius "idea".

Unfortunately, in the Bodin restaurant, the man who passed the napkin was wearing sunglasses all the time and couldn't see his face clearly, and the middle-aged man sitting opposite the man smiled at Ivan with a friendly smile, but unfortunately Ivan couldn't remember where he had seen this face.

Ivan lingered at the entrance of the Potin restaurant for a while, and the two of them followed him out as he expected, Ivan stepped forward, but he didn't expect the guy wearing sunglasses to wave his hand at him very angrily, and said:

"This is not the place to talk"

In this way, Ivan followed the two mysterious guys with a depressed face and sat in a car on the side of the road that was not good-looking, and when the window was rolled up, Ivan finally saw the true face of the man.

"It's him"

While secretly smacking his tongue in his heart, Ivan did not show strong emotional changes on the surface, which made Lin Mingyang very satisfied.

During the introduction, Lin Mingyang directly omitted himself, pointed to Ex and said:

"This is my partner, Mr. Aix, the president of MGM Pictures."

Ivan hurriedly handed his hand over, and Aix's special identity made Ivan undoubtedly choose to have a good relationship with the "big butler" next to Lin Mingyang at the first time.

Ex exchanged a few words with him, and Lin Mingyang quickly introduced the conversation to the main topic.

"Next year I will officially take over AC Milan and I hope that Mr. Ivan will come to Milan to help me"

Ivan was silent on the surface, but he had already set off a storm in his heart Recently, he has heard some rumors about the imminent change of ownership of AC Milan club, but after all, this news is only a rumor in the scope of xiao, and it has not been confirmed in any way... Now that Lin Mingyang has personally confirmed the truth of this matter, this has brought more than just shock to Ivan.

Facing Lin Mingyang's scorching gaze, Ivan smiled bitterly in his heart, he signed the consent on the napkin on a whim, but he put himself in a situation where there was no way back.

How do you want me to help you, sir? ”

Lin Mingyang smiled slightly: "After confirming that we want to buy AC Milan, Ackes and I have been discussing how to run a football club?" The success of Real Madrid has clearly set an example for us, and as I understand it, the most important reason for Real Madrid's success today is that it runs like a modern business internally, and the players become real 'commodities' in the hands of the club. Starting with Figo, Zidane opened the way, followed by Ronaldo, Beckham, Kaka, and then the sky-high signing of Cristiano Ronaldo, these stars have brought a strong star effect to Real Madrid. ”

Lin Mingyang only said what he was interested in, and the more substantive business analysis fell on Aix's next addition.

"In the past, football clubs, the most profitable was only the broadcast rights of the game and the MEN ticket income of the game, but Real Madrid's profit obviously does not only rely on these two aspects, I studied your profit model, and finally found that Real Madrid's huge profit depends on the operation of the Disney Park to a great extent."

"Disney sells more than just parks, we can see that there is a huge industrial chain behind it, Disney has toys, badges, clothing, and film and television rights... As a result, Real Madrid has its own badge, restaurants, stadiums, sponsors, partners, and cooperative media, all of which should be learning from Disney. ”

"Mr. Ivan, I guess that's right, right?"

Ex asked suddenly, and Ivan woke up from his stunned moment, and he smiled awkwardly: "Your analysis is thorough enough, and the truth is that I can't give a better answer now." ”

Lin Mingyang waited for a long time to ask for this kind of meaningless evaluation, it is very simple to analyze the success of others, what he really wants to know is that this model of Real Madrid is copied to AC Milan, how likely is it to succeed.

Obviously, Ivan's answer was not satisfactory, Lin Mingyang frowned slightly, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became tense, and Ivan, who was under pressure, gritted his teeth: "If all the commercial activities of the club are operated by me, I am at least fifty percent sure."

Lin Mingyang finally nodded with satisfaction, "If you really do this, the position of vice president of AC Milan Club is yours."
