Chapter 82: Parenting and Adopted Sons
There are only two clubs in Milan City, AC Milan is the government's own son, while Inter Milan is only an adopted son.
Inter Milan's best star, Meazza, has always been the pride and symbol of Inter Milan, but because of Mussolini's order, he could only transfer to his rival AC Milan to play.
Zhou Nan was in the Netherlands at the time, and when he saw a report in the newspaper, half of the fans in Milan City were crying. Meaza cried like a child, but he could only play for AC Milan, which shows the gap between AC and the world.
AC Milan has no money, the government can allocate funds, Inter Milan has no money, and can only rely on fans to raise donations.
Therefore, if Zhou Nan has a chance to buy a team, it is only possible that Inter Milan. As for the small city teams around Milan, because they don't have enough influence, Rang Nord will definitely not let Zhou Nan buy them.
The current situation of Inter Milan is definitely not good, and Zhou Nan occasionally sees their news in the newspaper, which is very "funny" news.
Last season, they brought in five South American players from Brazil at once, affectionately known to the Italians as the "Five Barrels". This nickname will definitely go down in history because the stories that happened to them are humorous and ironic.
One of them was a very good player at billiards, had never been defeated, and if he didn't speak English, he would probably go to England to play billiards.
One of the most ridiculous is called Bovio, he is fat like a bucket, but he is very skilled, in January this year, after playing a wonderful first half with the Modena team, in the second half he stayed alone in the locker room with a stove to warm up, and let the team of 10 people play.
It was also during that time that Bovio, along with a few other companions, fled back to South America late at night. To this day, Italians still do not know where they are, whether they are alive or dead.
Zhou Nan saw the news at the time and thought it was incredible, are the current players scattered like this?
In short, although football is now professional, it is semi-professional at best. The players rarely train intensively, and many have their own jobs.
Even professional footballers do not earn much more than workers, and many are not able to support their families and can only play football in their spare time.
Of course, there are a few stars with high salaries, such as the famous Argentine star Raimondo Osi, who was promised 8,000 lila when Agnelli brought him from Argentina to Italy.
In Italy at that time, the average worker was paid about 400 lira a month, and the salary of a judge and a senior clerk was only a thousand, which was almost equivalent to the salary of ten people.
Of course, this is not comparable with the income of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, in later generations. After all, there is no TV broadcast, no advertising, no endorsements.
Jean Nord nodded and said: "Yesterday I met Marceroni, you may not know him, he is now the president of Inter Milan. Then, we talked about Italian football right now, and Inter Milan wasn't in a good situation. ”
Zhou Nan asked strangely: "Isn't Meaza returning to Inter Milan?" ”
"Yes, but he can't play anymore, last year he was a player and coach and he retired this summer."
Zhou Nan pondered for a moment and said: "Inter Milan is indeed a good choice, but I need to understand a little more clearly before I can make this decision. After all, it's a big investment, and it also takes a lot of money to unblock the relationship. ”
Let Nord pause for a moment and say: "Your three months of royalties are enough to buy the entire Inter Milan, for others, this is a lot of money, but for you, it shouldn't be a burden, right?" ”
This time it was Zhou Nan's turn to be stunned and asked, "So cheap?" ”
Jean Nord shrugged his shoulders and said: "Yesterday Marcelloni was still complaining that his investment was depreciating rapidly, and now give him two hundred thousand dollars, he is willing to sell his shares." And he alone owns more than half of the shares. Although he is slightly conservative, I don't think the whole of Inter Milan will be worth more than $600,000. In reality, their fixed assets are lackluster, and the only thing they may have worth is their contracts with the players and a training centre. ”
Zhou Nan realized that he was influenced by the memories of later generations, and the team in the future will cost tens of millions, or even 100 million dollars, to buy a star. But in this era, the player is equivalent to a worker who cannot resign, and has no autonomy.
Moreover, now the team only makes money from tickets, without the big income of TV broadcasting, without sponsors, the team's profitability is very poor.
So it's really possible to buy Inter Milan for 600,000 yuan.
He nodded and said, "When we return, we can talk about this again." I do have an interest in Inter Milan, a football club, which is a good publicity vehicle. ”
Abu in later generations relied on Chelsea to land safely, although this has a lot to do with his ability to be a man and know how to advance and retreat. But becoming the owner of Chelsea and becoming a world-class celebrity has also given him some initiative, which has made the emperor want to deal with him a little bit of a mouse.
The more Zhou Nan thought about it, the more he felt that becoming the owner of a football club would help him very well, and if he became a clear stream in football, he would also establish a high reputation among ordinary people.
And Inter Milan is not small, relying on Milan, the richest in Italy, the fan team is also very large, and it is not difficult to make money.
The top three Serie A in later generations have actually risen in this era. Juventus is the face of the Fiat Group, AC Milan is the pride of the Milan city government, and only Inter Milan is from a poor boy and easy to control.
Of course, in this era, the strongest team is not the three of them, but the Torino team, which has declined in later generations.
The Torino team was the strongest king of the era, they were unrivaled throughout the forties, and they were called the team of gods by European football.
It's a pity that the team of gods was really taken away by God, and then there were the top three in the north of Serie A.
At noon, the car arrived in Venice, the city of water.
Zhou Nan had heard of this very unique city countless times in later generations, but it was the first time he had seen the only city in the world that was made up of 118 small islands without cars.
Audrey was also curious, and whispered, "Jonas, I want you to accompany me on a boat tour of this city." ”
"Of course, it's my pleasure."
Jean Nord smiled and said, "Let's go to Lido Island first, have lunch, if you still have the spirit, you can wander around here."
As soon as we arrived in Venice, it was raining heavily. On the simple dock, everyone has no place to protect from the rain, so they can only sit in the car and wait for the rain to stop.
At this time, it is the opening of the film festival, and Venice is full of tourists, movies, and countless vitality are added here.
Zhou Nan thought of the conference center at his doorstep, talking about the hardware conditions, with five theaters, and several cinemas in Lucerne, it should be better than here.
After returning home, we should have a good discussion with Entlebuch on how to reconcile the contradictions and interests between local residents and tourists, and hold the film festival.
Half an hour later, the rain stopped, and Zhou Nan and the others got out of the car again and watched the car slowly drive onto the ferry.
Ile Lido is a long and narrow island on the outskirts of Venice, only one kilometer wide at its widest point, but more than twenty kilometers long from south to north. Like a breakwater, Venice is protected.
Because the island has some of the most beautiful beaches in Italy, it was a holiday destination for Italy's wealthy and princes more than a hundred years ago. Half of the island's beaches have been fenced off by princes, nobles and wealthy people and turned into private beaches.
Ten minutes later, the ferry arrived at the pier on the island of Lido. Zhou Nan and the others didn't bother to enjoy the beautiful scenery here, but they saw a group of young girls in bikinis pulling a car on it. It was followed by the police, and there were many men watching the scenery, and then there was a large group of scolding elderly women.
Audrey and Caroline both turned their heads in embarrassment, and Leon wanted to look twice, but Caroline blocked his eyes. "Don't look at women who are immoral."
Zhou Nan didn't know anything about Italian, and he asked Jean Nord curiously. "What happened?"
Jean Nord's housekeeper said: "Italy prohibits the wearing of bikinis in public, these are girls who are breaking the law, and now they are being dragged through the streets. ”
Zhou Nan couldn't help laughing.
Last year, two French photographers invented the three-point swimsuit, which coincided with the United States blasting a large-yield atomic bomb on Bikini Island, so they called this kind of swimsuit bikini.
The appearance of the bikini, like a flood of beasts, quickly spread in private, and also shocked countries around the world.
As far as Zhou Nan knows, only France and the Netherlands have not explicitly banned wearing bikinis on the beach, and then all other countries have special legislation that does not allow women to wear bikinis.
Zhou Nan doesn't know when this trend began to change, and in later generations, celestial beaches were everywhere, but now even bikinis are still unethical.
Audrey's face flushed with shame, as if she was wearing a bikini herself. When she saw Zhou Nan's playful smile, she remembered and asked reluctantly, "Did you peek just now?" ”
Zhou Nan looked left and right, and asked in surprise, "Do I need to peek?" I just looked at it in the open light. ”
Audrey was angry for a while, pouting like a coquettish, not knowing what to say.
Melissa suddenly said, "Man...... My dad's eyes forgot to blink just now! ”
Zhou Nan looked at Jean Nord, and Rang Nord also happened to look over, and the two of them looked at a group of followers who also had endless memories, and then laughed.
