The season is finally over, and Lee Seung-bong will only have to wait for his contract with Sheffield Wednesday to end before becoming Inter Milan's manager. In just 4 years, he has become the head coach of the Italian giants from the grassroots, such a span, even with the help of future information, is incredible, Li Chengfeng feels that maybe the job of coaching is really suitable for him, of course, it would be better if there was no system that only knew how to urge.

Li Chengfeng's career in the CM world has reached a new height, and Li Chengfeng in the real world has also gained a lot. In the auction in mid-February 2017, Li Chengfeng successfully bought the ownership of the Como team for 400,000 euros, and he will be the owner of the team as long as the relevant formalities are completed. Now the team is seventh in the league and has a chance to attack the Italian second division, if he can really be promoted, then he will make a lot of money. It's a pity that now the transfer window of the Italian league has closed, otherwise he would have invested a lot of money to bring in some players to help the team upgrade.

After all, Li Chengfeng needs to spend more than 800,000 euros to get the Como club, which is not high, especially compared with clubs in England. If it's a League One, or even League Two club, it's much higher than Como's asking price. This is how English football clubs are emboldened, and their economic environment is much better than that of Italy. But it's not low, when Li Chengfeng checked the information, he learned that last year, Xu Genbao bought the Norka Club of La B B, which is also in the third league, and the cost was 1.3 million euros, although it was higher than the cost of Li Chengfeng to buy Como, but what people got was a complete club, with a complete first team, B team, and even a youth team, which is like Como, except for the dozen guns that no one wanted, the players with some ability have left, and Li Chengfeng has to find players everywhere to fill the vacancy. In this way, this business is really not cheap.

But first of all, they still need to appease the team's emotions, they don't trust a Chinese owner, they always think that this team will become a toy for Oriental Capital, they think that Li Chengfeng bought the team only for investment, not for the team, and they are also worried about their future next season.

Regarding the unstable mood in the team, Li Chengfeng first found the team's coaching staff to talk. He emphasised that he is very happy with the current situation of the team and will not make major changes. And he bought the team out of love for football and the place of Como, not for some other messy reason, and he also showed his coaching certificate, which is not something that the owner of the average ticket player has. In addition, he has promised to spend at least 1 million euros in transfer fees to strengthen the squad next season. Don't look at 1 million euros is not much, but it is already a huge amount of money for a Serie C team, many Serie C teams, and even Serie B teams, are still worried about how to survive, just like Como before, if you are not careful, you will go bankrupt. This million euros transfer fee, well spent, is not impossible to even promote directly next season, many Serie C teams add up to less than 1 million euros a year.

The coaching staff was very satisfied with Li Chengfeng's assurance, and they did not object to Li Chengfeng taking up a temporary position in Como's coaching staff and participating in training with the team, of course, provided that they did not interfere with the normal work of the team.

For the players, Lee Seung-feng's approach is simpler, he promises that as long as the promotion is successful this season, all the players will receive a bonus equivalent to their own three months' salary, which makes their eyes green. There are only a dozen players left in the Como team with a base salary, and the total salary of the three months is less than 100,000 euros.

However, to Lee's dissatisfaction, Como's fans don't seem to be interested in watching the game live, and although the team's home stadium can accommodate close to 15,000 people, it is good to have two or three thousand fans come to support each home stadium. Even last season, when Como was still in Serie B, the average attendance at the stadium was only around 5,000 people, which was really unbeatable, and only when the big teams visited in the cup would more than 10,000 people come to watch the game, including the opposing fans. There is no way for this Li Chengfeng, the overall economy of Italy is sluggish, and the cash-strapped fans are reluctant to spend money to watch the game live. The entire Italian football scene is so depressed, except for a few giants in Serie A, most of the clubs in Italy are in a state of loss, and they can only survive by relying on the continuous investment of the funders, which also strengthens Li Chengfeng's determination to be a human trafficker, and only in this way can the club survive.

The two players under his name have decided to join the Como team next season, but it is far from enough, and the Como team wants to be relegated next season, and needs to add many players with a certain strength. He thought of the target he had been eyeing for a long time, Jack Mariott in League Two.

Li Chengfeng directly dialed his agent McCaw, "Hi, McCaw, I'm Chinese Li." ”

McCaw was also stunned when he received Li Chengfeng's call, but quickly reacted, "Li, I haven't heard from you for a long time, why did you suddenly contact me, could it be that there is a Chinese team interested in Marriot?" ”

"There is a team that is interested in Marriot, but it is not a Chinese team, but Como in Italy. This is a Serie C team and they are looking to bring in Mariott next season. ”

Hearing that it is not a Chinese team, McCaw is much less excited, and now in the whole of Europe, except for the clubs in the top league, the average small team is very poor and can't afford any transfer fees, and a Serie C team may not be as financially good as Luton, a team in League Two.

"The Como team was bought by Chinese capital, they want to be promoted, and they need to bring in some quality players. I have a relationship with them and will be in charge of their transfers. Li Chengfeng had reservations, "The first thing I thought of was Marriot, and they were also interested in Mariott and wanted to bring him in." ”

McCaw was shocked by the news revealed by Li Chengfeng, and he asked with some hesitation, "You said you would be in charge of their transfer work?" To what extent is it responsible? ”

"Take full responsibility, as long as I agree with it, they will bring it in." Li Chengfeng's words are not shocking, and he is endless.

McCaw was really shocked at this time, and the news surprised him even more than the news of Marriott's transfer. He originally thought that Li Chengfeng was just a rookie, but he didn't expect to be able to do it to this extent, directly monopolizing the transfer of a club, is it that the Chinese are playing another game? It's just a Serie C club right now, but the implications are far-reaching, and what if Como is promoted?

What is the most profitable business in the world? Monopoly, monopoly is the most profitable. McCaw felt it was time to revisit his partnership with Lee Seung-bong, and it was obvious how much he could gain from being able to control a transfer at a club.

McCaw promised to convince Marriott to leave England for Italy, and he valued his relationship with Lee more seriously, hoping that the deal would be the starting point for more cooperation between them in the future. McCaw also enthusiastically recommended other players to him, the most anticipated being Will Manningen, the main goalkeeper of the British Under-17 team, who has not yet signed a professional contract, and Lee Seungfeng only needs to spend less than £200,000 to acquire him. While there are still a few Premier League sides interested in him, McCaw can convince him if Lee is willing to give him a chance to play.

However, Li Chengfeng refused, he knew this person, and he had personally inspected it, to be precise, he had inspected the players of the British youth team in those years, this Manningen's potential is limited, I am afraid that he will not even be able to play the main force of the English League in the future, and it is meaningless to buy it. However, he also asked McCaw to help him pay more attention to the young talents in the United Kingdom, and Li Chengfeng made up his mind to be a human trafficker.

With three players finalised, the transfer fee plus other expenses combined cost him almost 700,000 euros, leaving him with less than 1.2 million euros left at his disposal, and more than 700,000 euros after deducting the team logo and training ground that he took back the mortgage at the end of the season. There is also a guarantee of almost 300,000 euros to be paid before the start of the league next season.

Li Chengfeng's next income will wait until the bonus awarded by Inter Milan at the end of the season in the CM world, and there are still more than 9 months to go, and even if Li Chengfeng compresses the club's expenses to 100,000 euros a month, it will not be enough. And the club's players can't sell for a price, otherwise they would have left a long time ago, and the rest of the income is the tickets and broadcast for next season, but with the dismal attendance of Como's home stadium and the pitiful share of the Serie C League, it is not enough to support it for so long.

One of the ways Li Chengfeng can think of is not to redeem the club's trademark and training ground first, and wait until the prize money arrives before redeeming it. But doing so may not allow Como to register next season. The rules of the Italian Football Federation are very strict, and the club has just gone through a bankruptcy auction, if they feel that Como's financial situation has not been resolved, it is very likely that Como will not be allowed to register for the Serie C League, especially if Li Chengfeng is a Chinese.

There is only one way left, and that is to speed up the process of CM World, cut the time to get the bonus in half, and get the CM World bonus before the euros on hand are spent.
