Chapter 787: Dear Cousin Joan
"Good evening, everyone, and welcome here today." Joan Laporta said: "I am honoured to announce that FC Barcelona has reached a full agreement with AC Milan and Mr. Zhuo Yang himself, with immediate effect from Zhuo Yang. ”
The flash flashed the press room, and Rao, the 47-year-old president of Barcelona, who had experienced a lot of battles, was almost hit by the fierce blazing white on the wall behind him, and he quickly narrowed his eyes, saving him from looking back at the ophthalmologist.
Even though the news was no longer a secret a week ago, the media present faithfully recorded the historical moment. Zhuo Yang did not come to the scene, he was still at the birthday party, and only the Barcelona staff in the press hall showed the world the red and blue Barcelona home shirt No. 18 for the new season.
The details of the transfer fee will not be revealed at the press conference, and it will not be announced on any occasion, but everyone knows that Zhuo Yang's transfer value this time is 100 million euros.
The first player in football history worth 100 million yuan was born!
This 100 million is not that AC Milan slaughtered Barcelona fiercely, and harvesting Zhuo Yang's final value is just an incidental behavior of Milan. This price is the strategy carefully negotiated by Laporta and Galliani, which is to use the 'first 100 million in history' to achieve a sensational effect.
AC Milan need this sensation and need to stun those who have been scolding for the departure of Zhuo Yang and Kaka at a shocking price. Barcelona also need this sensation and need to blow Real Madrid's arrogance this summer clean with the heaviest blow.
This money will naturally be collected by AC Milan, but not from Barcelona, this 100 million will be shared by brands such as Adidas A small part, and the rest will be funded by Barcelona Savings Bank, and all the four major bidders in the transfer market this summer are in this mode.
Real Madrid used Kaka's 72 million to let off the first thunder, Barcelona followed Ibrahimovic 76 million to forcibly overtake, Real Madrid originally planned to use the 94 million Ronaldo who was coaxed to stand in the limelight, but the next day Barcelona and AC Milan achieved a 100 million Zhuo Yang.
In fact, the two sides of this 100 million have already been negotiated, so Laporta quickly left Ronaldo after raising the price to 94 million. With Zhuo Yang's 100 million, Ronaldo's 94 million feels not much different from Ibrahimovic and Kaka.
.
Joan Laporta Laporta is Coco's cousin, but they are not technically related to each other now. Laporta was a side branch of the Habsburg-Lorraine family and had no nobility or Habsburg surname.
Laporta had a great-grandmother of the Habsburg-Lorraine family, who died decades ago. From this great-grandmother, five generations of ancestors are pounded upwards, and the eight generations of ancestors of Kou Ko are the same person. Such a distant and tortuous relationship, there has long been a relationship that can be related to the past, and the Laporta family has never been in contact with the Habsburgs, but they are very close to the Koko's family.
The Habsburg-Lorraine family had fallen to the ground since the loss of the crown, and although the Austrian government later returned much of their possessions, the Habsburgs were not as wealthy as they were believed.
The family is large, and most of them have no great ability, and the Habsburg has a variety of income of two or three million a year, which seems to be not bad, but because there are many people who open their mouths to eat, they are actually a little nervous. In order to maintain the dignity of the first noble, some of the big expenses on face cannot be saved at all, and from time to time they have to slap their swollen faces in the aristocratic circle to fill the fat man.
The Joseph family was much better, and although the family assets were much smaller than those of the main Habsburg lineage, they always had a small annual income of one million because they were well cared for, including the Gladys Cottage and the Florentine Flower Lane courtyard. Although it is far inferior to the main Habsburg lineage, because the family is currently scarce, and everyone has a future, they don't really need the family's help, so they seem leisurely. Of course, Uncle Frank still has his own considerable income from his job, which is not part of the family business.
Both Habsburg and Joseph were quite rich in front of ordinary people, but they were all poor in front of the local tyrant Zhuo Yang.
In fact, although the annual income of the Habsburg family and the Josephian line is not very high, the income has been accumulated over the years, and the amount is still considerable. However, the Habsburg lords did not dare to talk about it because they had a lot of money to spend, and they had long since stopped helping their distant relatives in the sidelines, which was tantamount to rejecting these people from the family.
But Joseph's family is different, perhaps because of the commoner background of his grandmother Meredith, they are kinder and more benevolent, and will always help some distant relatives who can no longer fight. However, Joseph's family adheres to the principle that it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, and does not want to be a thankless promiscuous person.
They would find ways to arrange jobs for distant Habsburg relatives who had lost their source of livelihood, such as Aunt Katie, who managed the courtyard of Flower Lane, and Uncle Albert, who managed the museum.
If you want to do business, the Joseph family will lend you money as appropriate, not give; If it was saved, Joseph would give, not borrow; If distant relatives find something that can be made, Joseph's family will enthusiastically help them.
Joan Laporta is almost the same age as his father Frank Joseph, he was born in Barcelona into an ordinary family, and he is a distant branch of the Habsburg family, but their family has never enjoyed any Habsburg family benefits, and has no contact with Habsburg. In fact, the bloodline is not a single relationship with clear branches and leaves, but an intricate interweaving, and the Laporta family traces back from the other direction, as well as the blood of the former Spanish Habsburgs.
When Laporta was 19 years old, his father co-sold Brazilian soybeans in the futures market in excess of July, but he was forced to liquidate his position due to a mistake in judgment, and as a result, he owed a lot of debt to the bank. It just so happened that he applied to the University of Barcelona's Faculty of Law, which was expensive, which their families simply couldn't afford.
In desperation, the elder Laporta went to the Habsburgs to ask for help by luck, but was unsurprisingly coldly rejected: relatives who are closer to you and worse than them are too lazy to take care of them, so what are you making a fuss about? Hurry up and stay by yourself!
Seeing that his family was about to be ruined, his dream was shattered, and his grandfather, Grand Duke Ludwig, learned of the incident, and in the spirit of helping the urgent and not the poor, he immediately extended his warm hands to the Laporta family.
The grandfather helped the family cope with the bank's debts, financed Laporta's studies, and later funded him to obtain a master's degree. Laporta's establishment of a law firm after graduation was also aided by the Joseph family.
Such a great favor, Joan Laporta is not ungrateful, and knows how to repay the favor, but the Joseph family does not need him to repay anything. Although they are of the same age, after talking about their generation, Laporta happily became a distant nephew of his father. When Kou was born, he was dear Cousin Joan.
