487, the first value in history

"Boss, IMHO, Milan is very rich but ...... They don't have any money right now. ”

In a hotel suite in the heart of the capital, the agent Tony Moretti has rushed to the side of Ronsette:

"We know almost nothing about the specifics of this Central European sport, and if nothing else, they will certainly not be able to give Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris, and even Liverpool and Arsenal may have more money than them."

"Okay, I know you're not that demanding a salary, but they've just completed the acquisition, so how much more can they invest in reinforcements?"

Moretti looked at his employer:

"Bayern's asking price is very clear, 120 million euros, I'm worried that Milan can't even make up this money now, if there is no way to complete the transfer by then, what will Bayern think? We're going to be a joke in Europe......"

"Take it easy, Tony."

Long Shute still had a faint smile on his face:

"We don't need to care so much, if he can't even pay my transfer fee, naturally there is no possibility of negotiation, Krom, they are probably coming, you go and get ready for it."

"Mr. Long is such a trustworthy person, thank you for always waiting for us."

After three months, Long Shute saw Li Yonghong again, accompanied by Han Li, looking at their appearance, they have been very busy these days.

"The two of you moved so fast, you finally didn't let me wait in vain, please take a seat."

Long Shute smiled and shook their hands, and then introduced his agent to the other party.

Several people sat down.

Li Yonghong first apologized:

"Buying a club was a lot more complicated than I expected, so we were in Milan for another two days and just got off the plane, so we came in a hurry, Mr. Long laughed."

After a few pleasantries, the two sides turned to the main topic.

"Mingren doesn't say secret words," Long Shute motioned to Krom to bring tea to the other party, "Bayern's meaning is very clear, they won't stop me, but there will be a transfer fee of 120 million euros, which I also told Han Dong last time." ”

"There is no problem with the transfer fee, we kept Galliani just so that he could bargain with Bayern, this old guy is very good at this," Li Yonghong smiled, "Of course, even if Bayern bite this price, we can afford it, I am here today to talk to Mr. Long about the future." ”

"Future?"

"That's right," the mysterious businessman nodded, "we bought Milan in preparation for a big plan, and Mr. Long is an extremely important part of our plan, so we attach great importance to you, and it is precisely because of Mr. Long's verbal promise that we have accelerated the pace and even increased the price to complete the acquisition from Berlusconi." ”

Long Shute shook his head and smiled:

"Mr. Li is so elevated, I deserve it."

"Mr. Long is humble," Han Li smiled and handed a folder to Moretti, "In order to show respect for Mr. Long, we are willing to provide the top salary package, you look at it first, if you are not satisfied, we will discuss ......"

Lonshit didn't go to see it in person, it was the agent's job, and if Moretti had any doubts, he could also consult legal counsel, all he needed to do was to grasp the general direction.

"Both of them used to be capitalists, and they may not know much about European clubs, but it doesn't matter, because most of the business principles are the same, come, drink tea."

He stretched out his hand to make an inviting gesture, then continued:

"During this time, the media has been talking about the change of ownership of Milan, and there are many reporters who have gone to dig up some behind-the-scenes information, but none of them seem to have made substantial progress, as a professional player, I don't care who is behind the scenes of the club, but I want to ...... You should be entitled to hear what you have to say about your club. ”

"Of course."

Li Yonghong blew on the floating tea leaves.

With his permission, Han Li said to Long Shute:

"Milan's squad is actually not very different from the previous championship season, only a few players such as Ibrahimovic and Silva have left, and the fourth place in the league also shows that their quality is not satisfactory, at least there is still some competitiveness in the league.

In our planning, of course, we are centering on Mr. Long as the core, and appropriately strengthening some positions to build the team. As for the short-term goal, to win the league in the first year and the Champions League within three years, such a goal...... It shouldn't be too ambitious, right? ”

Long Shute shrugged:

"I thought you were going to win six crowns in your first year."

The two people on the other side laughed:

"Hahaha, Mr. Long said with a smile, although we are businessmen who value quick profits, we also know that football still needs a little time to develop......"

"Boss," a few people were chatting, and Moretti took advantage of the gap to come over, "This contract is still a typical Italian player contract, except that in terms of salary calculation, they offer two ......"

"Oh?"

Although Longshute doesn't have much need for money, he doesn't care about it.

In addition to the signing fee of up to 20 million euros, the other party offers two methods of salary calculation:

The first is the ordinary weekly salary system, the basic weekly salary is 350,000 euros after tax, the annual salary is 18.2 million, the appearance fee and bonus are calculated separately, and it is conservatively estimated that there is no big problem with getting 22 million to 25 million euros a year.

The second is to reduce the basic weekly salary, only 120,000 euros per week after tax, and the annual salary is about 6.2 million, but in contrast, the appearance fee and bonus in the contract have been greatly increased, especially the bonus for goals and wins, which have risen four or five times, a Champions League goal can make him earn 100,000 euros, and he can get a separate reward of 1 million if he wins the Champions League, and if he is based on the efficiency and results of 108 goals last season, he can get more than 30 million euros a season. Of course, if he suffers a major injury, or if he continues to suffer a goal drought, or if the team keeps losing, there is a good chance that his income will drop significantly, even less than 20 million......

Long Shute looked at this contract and couldn't help but smile and shake his head:

"Is this my performance?"

"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Long, of course we are very confident in your ability, and we are preparing the highest salary in the world, which is higher than Messi and Ronaldo," Han Li quickly explained, "However, considering the tax rate in Europe, if the second way is adopted, a considerable part of the tax can actually be avoided for the club." Of course, if Mr. Long thinks it's inappropriate, we can still use the first ......"

"Let's go according to the second option, I don't have any opinions, which can be regarded as an incentive for me."

Long Shute returned the contract to his agent and asked him to continue his research, and he changed his posture:

"In contrast to that, I have other requirements."

Li Yonghong smiled and nodded: "Please speak." ”

"Mainly in terms of recruitment," Long Shute looked at the two people opposite, "Since the two want to build a team with me as the core, I am also confident that I will live up to the trust and lead Milan back to the top, but in terms of recruitment, I need my own opinions to be respected, I will not ask for Ronaldo and Messi, even if I don't buy any of them, I will not have an opinion, but I don't want to buy a guy who is not pleasing to the eye, after all, no one likes to play with a player they don't like." ”

"Since we are a cooperative relationship, your identity is not the same as that of other players," Han Li laughed, "Even if you don't mention it, we will do it, and the team's recruitment will respect your opinion, what about the other aspects?" ”

"I have a personal opinion, so let's share it here."

Long Shute thought about it, but still said:

"To be honest, someone persuaded me to join a Chinese-funded team with unpredictable behind-the-scenes owners, which is actually very worrying, you know, some time ago Drogba had to fight an international lawsuit with Shenhua because of his salary arrears, and I don't want to be a joke myself."

Several people laughed, this incident has indeed caused a huge loss to Chinese football, and the reputation of the entire Chinese Super League club has been ruined by one owner.

Just listen to Long Shute continue:

"I'm not good at business, so I don't know if you're buying Milan for listing or something else, but at the end of the day, you want to make a lot of money in this club and you don't want too much turmoil in the club. Starting from the big picture of stability, I would like to ...... It would be better to keep Galliani and the management in place for a period of time to get through this period, and try to avoid using people with ties to Inter Milan or Juventus to the management, which would certainly cause disgust among the fans and Milan legends. ”

Li Yonghong took a sip of tea:

"I will consider your suggestion, the emotions of the fans really need to be taken into account, after all, it is an Italian team, unlike those clubs in China, most of them have no foundation and heritage......"

A few people chatted for a long time, and most of the details were basically negotiated.

When it was time to say goodbye, Long Shute took the initiative to stretch out his hand:

"I'm waiting for your official offer."

Li Yonghong smiled and shook his hand:

"You won't wait long."

Just two days later, Moretti was contacted by FC Bayern.

"AC Milan's fax has been confirmed by Bayern with a total offer of ...... 120 million euros! ”

In the summer of 2013, this was the first value in history!
