Chapter 311: Fang. Turning stones into gold. God of Wealth. Straight (4K for a commuter pass)
The day after the warm-up match between Manchester City and Ibiza, Manchester City owner Taixin and Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Mansour left one after another.
Manchester City also left Ibiza and returned to Manchester.
However, Taixin entrusted his special assistant Nava. Kardun, a close associate of the chieftain of Kanatso and Mansour. Al. Mubarak stayed in a more remote villa in Ibiza for talks.
Mubarak has been appointed by Sheikh Mansour as the club's new future chairman, and yes, buyover talks are ongoing, but the oil dads are already considering the administrative planning arrangements for the club under their rule.
Mubarak suggested that while negotiating, in order to show good faith, the Abu Dhabi consortium could lend money to Manchester City FC for reinforcements, and Manchester City FC could use the club's equity as a guarantee.
Nava. Kanatso naturally readily agreed, and the Manchester City people are willing to invest money first, which is a good thing.
Soon, Manchester City manager Mark Hughes was notified that the club intended to make a big splash in the transfer market. Hughes can bring up any players he cares about, players he likes, and players he wants, and the club will do its best to meet his requirements.
Truth be told, Mark Hughes was skeptical at first, what is the current situation of the club, as the head coach, he knows some insiders, and it is rumored that the Thai owner can't even pay for the club's operating costs this month, and is trying to borrow money from the previous club owner again.
So, Mark Hughes didn't take it seriously.
Until the next day, Nava. Canatso called Mark Hughes again, and the latter began to realize that this was true? Regardless of where the club's transfer funds come from, however, Mark Hughes knows that if there is money to spend it quickly.
For the recruitment of this summer transfer window, Mark Hughes, as the head coach, naturally has his own team building plan and concept, and also has his own recruitment goals.
Manchester City have now brought in Belgian defender Vincent Kompany from Hamburg in the Bundesliga for Β£8.5 million and Argentine right-back Zabaleta from Espanyol in La Liga for Β£6.5 million.
Wright. Phillips, Ben Haim...... Mark Hughes wrote these two names, which is the next goal to make.
However, looking at the name he had written, Mark Hughes suddenly got up and paced with some irritation, and finally he picked up the pen again and wrote Wright. Phillips and Ben Haim wrote a big B on the list.
Subsequently, Mark. Hughes picked up his pen and wrote very a clean piece of paper A's, which was the list of A's with the highest priority. The more Hughes wrote, the more excited he became, and he felt like he couldn't stop......
Then, Ibiza's young, handsome and talented head coach, Mr. Fang Jue, saw this fax of his players.
Yes, it's the players who want him, not the players.
Brother Manchester City greeted the little brother of Ibiza very kindly, recalled the good friendship that has arisen because of the bond of Sun Jihai, and finally asked very warmly, your Milarham. Pjanic, Sebastian. Deisler, Juan. Mata, Robert. Lewandowski, Marko. Royce, Laurent. Koscielny, Claudio. Bravo, Jordi. Alaba, sell?
β¦β¦
I'll sell your grandma a leg!
Fang Jue was so angry that he trembled, for any manager, a request for a fax like Manchester City is unacceptable, to put it mildly, if this is between countries, this is a great provocation, and you can directly declare war.
This is tantamount to directly emptying Ibiza, and then Ibiza can go back to play in La Liga B.
Are Manchester City and Mark Hughes crazy?
Fang Jue's teeth itched with hatred.
"Are you sure it's a fax from Manchester City, not a prank?" Miss Papa looked at Fang Jue, who was angry and gloomy, and asked Ms. Roberta.
"It's confirmed, it's indeed a fax from Manchester City." "They said they had no intention of provoking Ibiza and that they really wanted to talk to us," Ms. Roberta said. β
"I'm talking about his grandmother's legs." Fang Jue slapped the table, and the red-eyed Fang Jue stared at the fat man, "Fatty, don't tell me, are you tempted?" β
"Ibiza is on the right track, we need cows that can produce milk and increase their value, not kill cows for meat," the fat man said, shaking his head.
Hearing the fat man say this, Fang Jue was in a better mood, he was really afraid that the fat man's brain would be hot and he would really consider this purchase fax, and then he had no other way but to fall out with the fat man, this was the team he built single-handedly, and he absolutely could not allow his team building blueprint to be disrupted and destroyed.
"I don't understand, are Manchester City crazy?" Fang Jue regained his composure and asked, "Everyone knows that this kind of fax is like child's play, and it can even be said to be a provocation - besides, do they have the money?" β
The most critical issue is that Manchester City's owner Taixin's personal assets were frozen by the Thai side, and Manchester City fell into a financial crisis.
Many teams have communicated with each other and passed on the news that Manchester City's instalments must not be accepted now......
"I heard." Miss Papa hung up, "Taixin is in contact with a consortium in the UAE to sell Manchester City, so it is very likely that the consortium in the UAE has provided transfer funds to guarantee the transfer. β
Miss Papa's grandfather, Sir Kruger, was a shareholder of Deutsche Commerzbank, and a lot of inside information in the financial markets could not escape the intelligence network of these financial predators, so Miss Papa quickly figured out what was going on with a phone call.
β¦β¦
"Mr. Mubarak, we can't talk to Ibiza like that." Nava. Kanatso said to Mubarak.
"Is there anything wrong?" Mubarak asked, taking a puff on his cigar.
"This kind of fax is very rude and will be seen as provocative." Nava. "We should show our sincerity. β
"Sincerity, okay, I see." Mubarak nodded.
Nava. Kanatso said goodbye to Mubarak and returned to his room.
"Sir, what's going on in the mind of this Arab? It's still an Ivy League elite, it's just stupid, are these oil tyrants so unskilled......" Kanatso's assistant said sarcastically.
"Never look down on people who are richer than you, even if their money comes easily, and the people who help them manage their money are undoubtedly the best in the world." Nava. Kanatso glanced at his assistant in disappointment, shook his head, and said.
Although the acquisition of Manchester City has not yet been completed, is it too eager to show off their financial prowess to the global football scene?
Nava. Kanatso also has to admit that it is really fitting that the Abu Dhabi consortium chose Ibiza as a target to show their financial resources and ambitions to European football.
First of all, Ibiza is only a promoted horse in La Liga, and its influence in football is relatively small, and it has no power in authoritative institutions such as UEFA.
Then, Ibiza was the biggest dark horse in Spanish football last season, the Spanish Copa del Rey champion, and the craziest dark horse in the history of La Liga to win the fairy tale, which made this team still have a certain degree of attention in Spanish football, especially before Ibiza introduced Modric for 21 million euros, which once became the standard king of the transfer market at that time, until Barcelona announced two days ago that it had introduced Sevilla's Brazilian defender Alves at a price of 29 million euros, and this value was broken.
In addition, the young team cultivated by Ibiza coach Fang Jue, these young talents under his command, have won the recognition of football professionals, including Pjanic, Mata, Lewandowski and other players have been paid attention to by many giants, the reason why now except for Barcelona from Ibiza to introduce two players in a row, other giants have not shot, this is because many giants are still waiting, or rather, they want to see how these young people perform in La Liga in the new season, Or to put it more bluntly, waiting for the young manager of Ibiza to help them develop their players, the giants prefer finished products to semi-finished products or even sour rookies.
Therefore, now that the Ibiza 'supermarket' is not open, it is not that there is no attention from the giants, on the contrary, many teams and even the giants are silently paying attention and ready to start at any time, after all, the money of the giants is not blowing in the wind, and the risk of buying young players is not small, they are more cautious.
Suffice it to say, Ibiza is a very interesting target, seemingly inconspicuous, however, many people are staring at it and sneaking in on it.
Manchester City's shot at the target of Ibiza, it seems that it is not a big deal, but it can cause considerable impact, of course, the most important thing is that the Abu Dhabi consortium is really not bad for money, they can wave the cheque book to buy the young people of Ibiza, even if they don't kick it out in the future, it doesn't matter, there is money, they are so capricious, they have the capital to scratch the lottery.
At the same time, it can also be declared to the football world: they are rich, really rich.
Able to become Taixin's personal assistant and cronies, Nava. Kanatso was naturally capable and guessed Mubarak's intentions.
β¦β¦
And then......
In Sardinia, Ibiza drew 3-3 with Serie A side Cagliari in a warm-up game, with new signings Luka Modric and Henrik coming off the bench to make their debuts for Ibiza.
Reus made a pass and a shot, Pjanic had an assist and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice.
On the evening of the end of the game, in the conference room of the hotel where the Ibiza team stayed, the senior management of Ibiza gathered, and even Ma Dongmei, who was far away in Shanghai, also participated in the meeting through video, which was also the first time that Fang Jue and others 'saw' Ma Dongmei's appearance: a young woman who is not too beautiful, but very attractive, and it can be seen that she is very capable and has a fiery character.
'This is the first offer from Manchester City.' Natasha. Ms. Roberta said.
The file is transferred to everyone's laptop.
Sebastian. Deisler β 35 million euros.
Millalham. Pjanic β β¬16.5 million.
Juan. Juan Mata β β¬16 million.
Marco. Reuss β 16 million euros.
Robert. Lewandowski β 16 million euros.
Yordi. Alba β 14 million euros.
Claudio. Bravo β 10 million euros.
Laurent. Koscielny β 10 million euros.
The atmosphere was a little silent, although Manchester City had already sent a fax to ask for a purchase, but all this was not as direct as the current long list of clearly marked price requests.
"Emiratis are really rich." "The price of the eight players is 133.5 million euros, and by selling these players, the team will have the funds to build a new stadium and training base and develop the business." β
Lai Fu is right, Ibiza to build a new stadium and the commercial development on the site of the existing stadium, the construction of a new modern training base of the huge package, the total budget investment is 103 million euros, in order to raise this huge funds, the three major shareholders of Ibiza jointly contributed 43 million, and then borrowed 15 million euros from Ibiza City Hall and Santander Bank respectively, and the principal and interest were repaid in three and five years respectively.
Now, if these players are really sold to Manchester City, Ibiza really does not have to worry about lack of funds, not only to meet the huge development plan, but even to have a surplus of more than 30 million euros.
However......
As soon as he said this, Lai Fu felt the death gaze from the team's head coach Fang Jue.
"Phew, it's great to be rich." Lai Fu's face immediately turned pale, "This is a provocation to us." β
Fang Jue looked at the others, his expression was gloomy, and he was ready to fight with others at any time.
"I'm only now really aware of how good Coach Fang Jue's ability is." At the end of the video conference, Ma Dongmei, who was dressed in a capable professional suit, slapped her hands and admired, "I just estimated that the total cost of Coach Fang Jue to introduce these players is 2.936 million euros, no, counting the 200,000 euros loan fee that Bravo loaned back to Real Sociedad at that time, in fact, we spent 2.736 million euros to get these eight players." β
Deisler came to defect to Fang Jue, Mata was personally dug by Fang Jue for free, Koscielny was dug by Fang Jue, Lewandowski was obtained by Fang Jue from Poland, Alba was introduced by Fang Jue's friend Ronaldinho, and only cost Ibiza 6,000 euros in transfer fees, Royce was introduced by Fang Jue's number one general, Deisler, Bravo was introduced by Fang Jue, and Pjanic was personally dug by Fang Jue in France.
The real thing is created by Fang Jue, and this is not counting the transfer fees that Ibiza has already earned from Ayala and Croozas and CΓ‘ceres in the past.
"And now, just Manchester City's initial offer, these eight players are worth as much as 133.5 million euros, and the actual price will continue to climb." Ma Dongmei's eyes lit up and she was amazed, "Mr. Fang Jue is the most important one in the club, and this is true." β
Although everyone knows that Fang Jue has a good eye for people, has brought a lot of profits to Ibiza, and brought talented players, but before there was no data, there was no deepest feeling, and now, Ma Dongmei put such a data, everyone was stunned.
The investment of 2.736 million euros, the output of 133.5 million euros, and you must know that this is only the first offer from Manchester City, not to mention whether Ibiza will sell these players, but this value is here, and everyone's eyes look at Fang Jue as if they are full of golden light.
This is not a person, this is a god of wealth who turns stones into gold.
Fang Jue was looked at by everyone, a little stunned, all he was thinking about now was:
Damn, I'm so good!
Holy, I'm awesome!
How much is 11 percent of 133.5 million euros?
14,685,000 euros, damn it, so much!
And then it's, I'm damn it, 11 percent of the shares, I'm so losing.
