Chapter 195: Long Time No See, Zhang Jun
De La Valle's words were like dropping a bombshell in the downtown area, and some media exaggerated the bold and enlarged paragraph on the front page, and then used red letters as the headline next to it, shouting very scary: "This is the final verdict!" β
It is clear that De La Valle is supporting Malaisani, Zhang Jun has no room to survive in Fiorentina, only the fans firmly support him, but is the fan support useful?
When the club wanted to sell Baggio, did you listen to the protests of the fans?
At the beginning, it was cut; When Gouri insisted on La Florence for the funeral despite the opposition, did the huge protests of the fans work?
In the eyes of the management, fans will always be a vulnerable group, and they cannot influence the club's decision-making. Even if one day the people are really indignant, the scapegoats will grab a handful.
Therefore, although many fans protested in front of the club and Malaisani's house this time, it did not help to change Zhang Jun's situation. There was even a threat to the safety of Malesani from the overheated fans, who smashed the glass of the manager's house with stones. This only made Zhang Jun more passive, and there was one more evidence of his "inciting fans to make trouble".
Zhang Jun no longer showed up, and everything was left to his agent Hua Fang to handle with full authority. He is waiting for the call of the national team.
Due to FIFA's decision, the Asian Cup, which was supposed to be held in 2008, was brought forward to 2007, which meant that it was worried about colliding with the Olympics and the European Championship, which would affect attention.
This time, the Asian Cup is also an unprecedented co-host of Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, four Southeast Asian countries. Although public opinion generally believed that the co-hosting of the four countries would lead to many problems, the AFC bureaucrats still handed over the hosting rights to the four countries under the banner of promoting football.
Considering this situation, plus the imminent Yanjing Olympics, Qiu Suhui and Chen Wei communicated and decided not to pay attention to the results, and sent a national team mixed with some of the first team and the National Olympic team to participate, and the head coach of the National Olympic team was also temporarily transferred to the national team coaching staff, and the meaning of training was very obvious.
The General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China also agreed to this plan, and the media did not dare to say anything in the context of the Olympics. Only the fans feel unhappy, the Chinese team is famous in the World Cup, and I wanted to continue to see them majestic in the Asian Cup, but now it has become a training exercise.
Of course, in China, fans are even more of a thoroughly vulnerable group, and no one cares what they think.
Under such circumstances, Qiu Suhui called Zhang Jun and asked him to take advantage of this holiday to have a good rest, and he didn't have to participate in the Asian Cup.
Zhang Jungang was a little surprised when he received the call, he really wanted to participate in his first Asian Cup, but Qiu Suhui told him very seriously that his physical condition was not ideal, so he should not participate, take a good rest, and relax his body and nerves.
Zhang Jun reluctantly accepted this arrangement - he didn't accept it and couldn't help it, Qiu Zhi would not change the entire preparation plan because of his personal wishes.
In the end, this year's national team introduced several first-team players on the basis of the National Olympic team, and Li Yongle, who had just helped the team win the league championship, was popular, and there was no physical problem, so he was called into the team. And Xiang Tao, Wang Yu, Wu Shangshan, who rarely show up, also came back to make a familiar face. Yang Pan was not called into the team like Zhang Jun, and Liu Peng, Li Suisheng, Zhao Pengyu and others in China were also called in.
These people formed the so-called national team and marched south under the banner of military training.
Zhang Jun took his mother out and went to Switzerland with Sophie to play for two weeks.
In the past two weeks, my mobile phone has not been turned on, the newspaper has not been read, and the Internet has not been available, so I have to play with my mother and Sophie everywhere every day. He wants to make up for the filial piety that he has not fulfilled in the past few years, and he also wants to solve the pain of lovesickness for Sophie.
Sophie brought him good news, starting in the second half of the year, she was sent by the newspaper to Italy to work as an assistant to Li Yan.
This is the news that makes Zhang Jun ecstatic, he and Sophie have been separated since they went to the Netherlands, and this kind of lovesickness is not something that a couple of lovers can endure for a long time.
When the time comes, he can live with Sophie and sing every night...... Oh also!
Sophie twisted Zhang Jun's ears and told him not to think crookedly, and it was one person to go, anyway, the house was big.
Zhang Jun muttered in his heart: "Then I'll sell that house, let's go to the city to squeeze a set of ......"
Although he thought so, he was already grateful that Sophie could come to him. He also knows that some things are in a hurry.
In fact, it is very good to come back after training every day and have someone to snuggle up and talk to, someone to talk to when you are depressed, and someone to share when you are happy. Then the daily hard work, no matter how much pressure it bears, is worth it.
Switzerland is beautiful, and Zhang Jun is in a very good mood, as if he has completely forgotten that there is still a lot of bad things waiting for him in Florence.
β»β»β»
The two-week vacation was too short for Zhang Jun, who had just arrived in Thailand.
Sophie flew back to China with her mother, she needed to go back to go through various formalities, and she had already said goodbye to her parents. And Zhang Jun made a phone call to Sister Hua and flew back to Italy directly.
Sister Hua told him on the phone that things had changed, but she didn't tell him in detail what the changes were, and she didn't know if it was a good change or a bad change.
When he set foot on the land of Florence, he felt the change that Sister Hua had spoken. I can't say it, but the atmosphere in Florence is quite strange.
No one paid attention to him and Malaisani's life-and-death.
"Because they have a new topic." As soon as Hua Fang saw Zhang Jun, she said straight to the point, "Recently, there have been rumors that a consortium wants to buy Florence, and De La Valle wants to sell it at a high price. β
"It can't be!" Zhang Jun blurted out that he did think that Sister Hua was joking with him, "De La Valle is clamoring for the revival of Florence every day, will he let it go?" β
"Zhang Jun, De La Valle's first identity is a businessman, and the pursuit of higher interests is his ultimate goal. As long as someone offers a price that he can't refuse, things are not easy to say. Hua Fang used to be a businessman, and she knew very well what businessmen thought.
"And how much does that consortium offer?" Zhang Jun asked casually.
Hua Fang's left hand is more than one, and his right hand is more than five: "It is said that ...... 150 million euros. β
Zhang Jun's mouth didn't close. He is not a fool who doesn't know anything, Li Yan once told him that before De La Valle bought Fiorentina, his net worth was conservatively estimated at 166 million euros, and by 2006, when Fiorentina was promoted to the first division, this figure exceeded 300 million. And the consortium offered half of de la Valle's worth, which is really not easy to refuse.
Hua Fang continued to attack Zhang Jun: "And the consortium also said that if they are not satisfied, they can increase the price again...... What is this business? It's clearly smashing with money. When she was at the helm of the Fahrenheit Group before, the total assets were only 180 million euros, and she had to sigh in her heart about the strong capital strength of this consortium.
Jang Jun's brain returned to normal after it stopped responding for a long time. Fiorentina were almost relegated, and there will definitely be a purge after the season, the current team is not worth 150 million at all, but if he bids according to the real market price, De La Valle will have to consider the loss of his reputation among the fans and the political axe, and will not give up easily. So opening this kind of price is obviously in a hurry to acquire.
But what is a club like Fiorentina for? Want to make money on this? Just kidding, it's good not to lose money, and besides, such a rich consortium still cares about this little money? So is it just a matter of buying it and having fun? It's boring, treating players and fans like toys. Or ...... Money laundering?
Zhang Jun shuddered, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, there are some things that don't belong to his world, so don't delve into it. Having spent two years in Italy, he also learned more or less about how powerful the mafia was in Italy. He just plays honestly, he doesn't care about anything else.
Zhang Jun shook his head: "Does this have anything to do with my affairs?" β
"Now look at ...... If the new owner is not the same as de la Valle, I will always have to hear your thoughts on whether you will stay in Florence or not. β
Zhang Jun was stunned, indeed, in the end, he was also unwilling to leave here, if the new boss didn't hate him, then everything could be reversed.
"That'...... Let's wait, wait......" he muttered.

The acquisition rumours have divided Fiorentina fans, with a section of hardcore, radical fans adamantly opposed the takeover, arguing that Fiorentina should be a Fiorentina club, not a plaything that anyone with money can take.
Others believe that the acquisition is not a good thing for Florence, which is now in trouble. At the very least, De La Valle is incompetent, and a new man might be able to rejuvenate the team, as is the case with Chelsea in the prime of life right now. Money is not a bad thing, it depends on where it is spent, it is spent on the team, they have no opinion.
Now, the impact of the acquisition rumours is not limited to Fiorentina itself, but the entire Italian football world is watching it. Everyone was very interested in the mysterious consortium with a large amount of money, but because neither party had made it public, the reporters had to investigate on their own, and the Italian judiciary also suspected that it involved mafia money laundering and launched an investigation.
Of course, the results of their investigation were basically the same: it was a registered, legitimate group with deep pockets. When it comes to trade secrets, even the judiciary can't do it, after all, it's not an Italian company.
One week, the Chinese team broke into the knockout round in the Asian Cup, and the matter here also had a result.
On July 27, Fiorentina officially announced that Renz Group had successfully acquired the team and all its assets, and De La Valle had resigned.
Various speculations for more than a month have finally been confirmed, which still surprises many people. Many even lamented that even Fiorentina, a classical team with a Renaissance style, could not resist the onslaught of money, and it seems that commercial football has become ubiquitous.
In the immediate aftermath of this announcement, there were daily protests and demonstrations at the club's gates, and there were accusations that de la Valle was a liar, a shameless speculative businessman. It's only been five years, and his rhetoric that he wants to do his best for Fiorentina football has become bullshit. Holding signs and scandalizing his portraits, people protested all night long outside his home. But their protests were ineffective, Florence had changed hands, and their former owners had already secretly fled abroad for a holiday to avoid the limelight.
Realizing that they had done something useless, fans began to point the finger of protest at Francisco, the executive director of the Rez Group; Jalimian. They printed his portrait on paper, with a big red cross drawn on it, and all kinds of caricatures satirizing him. They called on fans not to buy tickets for next season and boycott Fiorentina's game.
"It's a shame in the history of Fiorentina football!" This phrase appears most frequently in protest signs.
But just as the fans' protests that De La Valle wanted to sell Zhang Jun didn't work, their protests didn't help the team.
Afterwards, the executive director of the Rez Group ignored the fans and went directly to visit the mayor of Florence, and when he came out, he shook hands with the mayor and said goodbye with a smile. The mayor then issued a statement saying that Mr. Jalimian had assured him that the Florentine Club remained the property of the Florentine Municipal Axe and would always represent the city of Florence, and that he supported Mr. Jalimian in his work.
"Well done! I don't know how much benefit they gave to that mayor, and they got the political axe so quickly. Zhang Jun sighed.
Jalimian then went on to visit the president of the Italian Football Federation, the president of the Italian Professional League, especially the latter. He assured Galliani that Fiorentina had no intention of fighting between factions and that Reiz just wanted to contribute to Italian football and save the heart-wrenching Fiorentina from decline. These words are high-sounding, and people can't find fault with them.
He then promoted himself and some of the group's top brass as loyal Fiorentina fans in a foreign country, with three generations of his grandparents supporting Fiorentina. "I even have purple blood!" Mr. Jalimian proudly said that he would be willing to do whatever he could do to restore Florence to its glory.
This hand bought the hearts of many fans.
In just one week after the acquisition of Florence, so many effective initiatives have been made, and the efficiency is staggering. It seems that the acquisition crisis was resolved casually, and it is clear that this is a premeditated acquisition, and it is by no means the product of the whim of a rich man.
Jalimian went around for public relations, but he didn't pay attention to the team's mess, which made many Italian sports media laugh at the new owner as an idiot who didn't know anything about football except money. And Zhang Jun and Malaisani anxiously waited for the new boss's verdict, but there was no follow-up.
Hua Fang also took this opportunity to fly to Germany to deal with Anke's transfer. Dortmund's economic situation has not improved, and Hua Fang is very dissatisfied with the salary of the number one star Anke who is only third-rate in the Bundesliga. On the one hand, she forced Dortmund to change the contract and increase the salary, and on the other hand, she actively contacted Bayern Munich.
Now Bayern Munich has offered a high price that Dortmund can't refuse, and Anke no longer uses feelings as an excuse, and his departure is a foregone conclusion. Dortmund fans didn't criticize Anke, just wishing him good luck, while Beckenbauer said more than once: "We need a talented goalkeeper like An. Now, he's got his wish.
The talks between the two sides went well, and only the medical examination and the final signing remained. At this time, Hua Fang had time to come back and be busy with Zhang Jun's affairs.
β»β»β»
The acquisition has also had an impact in China, with some die-hard Fiorentina fans, like their Italian counterparts, seeing the acquisition as a disgrace and a sell-out. It's just that because they don't actually know much about the situation, it's more extreme, more extreme. And those who like Florence because of Zhang Jun don't care, they are more concerned about Zhang Jun's fate, whether to leave or stay in the end.
Some media lamented the big trouble this time: "I thought it was just a matter of changing coaches or selling players, but I didn't expect to change the boss directly." The world is unpredictable, nothing more than this. β
In Italy, Jalimian only began to think about focusing on the team after reassuring people, but he didn't have any vision for next season, but wanted to clean up the mess of last season.
On the last day of July, the players who had been on holiday in various places came back one after another, and the Chinese team's Asian Cup journey ended in the semi-finals. This summer, the national team is not the main focus of attention.
Jalimian first issued a statement saying that he did not know much about the feud between Zhang Jun and Malaisani, but he believed that it was just a misunderstanding, that both men were professional and that they would stick together for the sake of Fiorentina without any problems.
This statement is, in Li Yan's words, a fart, full of nonsense, nothing said, and it does not reveal the personal preferences of this new boss. He reminded Zhang Jun to be careful, this kind of person is often the best at playing yin.
Afterwards, Jalimian called the two to the office to talk.
No one knew what they were talking about, and Zhang Jun didn't know what the new boss had said to Malaisani, but when he saw Malaisani come out, his face was good, and he remembered Li Yan's advice, and when he entered the large office, he was nervous.
Pushing open the wooden door, he met the new president of Florence, Francisco; Mr. Jalimian. It was the first time he had met a real person face-to-face, and he had only seen photos on TV and online before.
Medium-sized, with a stubble head, a bushy beard, sunken eye sockets that make it difficult to see the man's eyes, and a neat purple suit - to show his love for Florence. It was such a person who bought Florence, and it was such a person who would decide whether he would stay or go.
He sat down on the couch across from the new chairman, waiting for the man to speak.
But it seems that Jalimian is very interested in Zhang Jun's appearance, and he stared at Zhang Jun repeatedly for a long time, and Zhang Jun's heart was furious, and he almost wanted to go out of the door.
He wouldn't have that inclination, would he?
It took a long time for Jalimian to speak, but only one sentence ended the meeting.
"My boss wants to see you, and he'll decide whether you stay or go."
Zhang Jun was stunned.
β»β»β»
Zhang Jun sat in this pure white extended Rolls-Royce, and across from him was Jalimian. This gentleman was staring at him with a smile, and Zhang Jun felt a burst of fear and didn't dare to look at him. In order to cover up, he simply closed his eyes and leaned his head on the back of the leather seat to pretend to sleep.
In Florence, a city with many alleys and narrow roads, driving a long car, or a white Rolls-Royce, in Zhang Jun's opinion, the boss he was going to meet was really ostentatious.
When Jalimian told him that, his surprise was beyond words. Jalimian is the president of the team, and he can't even decide whether he will stay or not, and everything has to be left to his boss......
This made Zhang Jun a little interested in the mysterious boss, what kind of big man would that be?
The car drove smoothly on the road, and Zhang Jun felt that they were out of the city.
When Hua Fang heard that the real boss wanted to see Zhang Jun, she insisted on coming along. But Jalimian simply refused. "Miss Hua, my boss ordered it, but I only saw Zhang Jun alone. And there will be nothing that involves contractual benefits, so there is no need for the broker to follow. β
He is the chairman of a club and the executive director of the Rez Group, and his tone is also very respectful when he talks about this "boss".
Zhang Jun couldn't understand, why did such a person with status and financial resources want to see him? And why meet him to decide whether he will go or stay?
"We're here."
When Zhang Jun opened his eyes, the first thing that caught his eye was the gate of a villa, and the security guard standing in front of the car door, ready to open the door for them.
It was a place he had never been to at all, a manor. Since Zhang Jun was already in the manor, he couldn't know whether the manor was big or small, all he could see was the villa and an open-air swimming pool next to it, but he didn't see the tennis court and golf course in the manor.
Jalimian acted as a guide, taking Zhang Jun around. Zhang Jun didn't know where he was going to be taken, so he had to follow closely, for fear that he would get lost. From the outside, I thought the house was not big, but when I got inside, I found that there was a cave.
From time to time, he could see servants and security guards dressed neatly and uniformly, which made him have a lot of speculation about the identity of this mysterious boss.
Jalimian didn't speak, and Zhang Jun couldn't ask. He was in a hurry, and he wanted to go home and change into a more formal suit, but Jalimian told him it was best to leave now, because his boss was impatient. As a result, he came out in such casual clothes, and now he suddenly felt that he did not fit in with the atmosphere of this manor.
Walk through a cloister, then a garden. He saw a huge building with white walls and a white roof. It's huge, not because it's so tall or really huge, but because it's so big and abrupt compared to its surroundings that people's eyes are all on it. It's about three stories high, but it covers a large and very wide area.
The building was blocked behind the villa, and Zhang Jun didn't see it at first.
Jalimian pushed open the door to the building and made a gesture of please. At this time, he didn't look like a club president at all.
Zhang Jun stepped in, but was shocked by what he saw.
With three floors, grandstands with plastic seats, a fully transparent tempered glass roof, green turf, and white goals and nets, this is an indoor nine-a-side football field!
He squatted down and touched it with his hand, this was not cheap artificial turf, but genuine natural grass, and it was good grass, better than Frankie's, probably the grade of the World Cup, and he couldn't help but jump. Looking around, at the top of the stands is a small box, with a huge floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall, you can clearly see the situation outside, and in the place where Zhang Jun can't see, he guesses that there should be a locker room, a gym, and a physiotherapy room......
It's clearly a mini stadium!
This host is a real luxury! Gee! Zhang Jun shook his head and sighed, but ...... This is exactly what I dreamed of when I was a student. At that time, what about the popular YY after he had money, buying two bowls of soy milk, drinking one bowl, and pouring one bowl was a classic joke. At that time, Zhang Jun fantasized about having such a private football field, and he could play whenever he wanted, no matter whether it was windy or rainy, day or night.
At that time, Anke also laughed at him for being unproductive, and he did this with a lot of money.
Thinking of the time when he was with his friends in the past, Zhang Jun couldn't help but smile. Now that Anke has gone to Bayern Munich, it should be a good home......
Zhang Jun suddenly found that he was now a guest at someone else's house, he turned his head and found that Jalimian was no longer by his side for some time, he felt a panic, but quickly calmed down, thinking that since the boss was impatient to wait, he would naturally come out to see him.
He once again focused his attention on this extravagant indoor soccer field, spending so much money on such a football field instead of tennis courts and golf courses, which shows that the owner of this place should also be a person who loves football, then they must have a common language, maybe they don't have to leave.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jun is full of hope for this meeting. I thought that the boss of this boss should be a person who is so busy that he doesn't even have time to bend over, and he doesn't smile, making people unapproachable. But now Zhang Jun looks at the indoor football field, and a sense of intimacy is born in his heart.
A soccer ball rolled to Zhang Jun's feet at some point, he was a little surprised, and then turned around to look back, only to see a person leaning against the door.
The afternoon sun was still dazzling, shining obliquely through the doorway, he couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
"Long time no see, Jun Zhang." The man spoke.
Zhang Jun froze.
β»β»β»
It was a young voice, grinning, and the tone was familiar. Memories from years ago come flooding back to my brain with the sound.
At the sad and crazy graduation dinner, he hugged Zhang Jun and said to him slightly drunk: "Don't worry, Zhang Jun." I've been in love with football since I could run, and it's been more than ten years, do you think I'll say goodbye to it easily? β
On the empty Shuguang High School football field, Li Yongle looked at him: "Actually, you didn't plan to leave a way back for yourself in the first place, right?" He laughed and said, "You see it?" Zhang Jun saw helplessness in his smile.
After that, he never saw this guy who ran away alone without saying a word. It's been five years, and this kid has disappeared without a trace, as if the world has evaporated, and there is no estimate of what others will think.
Now, he appeared in front of Zhang Jun so casually, and said to him with a smile: "It's been a long time." β
It really makes people want to flatten him.
But Zhang Jun didn't make a move, he just stood in place, staring at the figure at the door who couldn't see his face clearly, and stammered, "Ren Yudi?" Are you really? β
The figure walked in, picked up the football on the ground, reached out to catch it, and then looked at Zhang Jun with a smile: "If it's fake, Tong Su is not bullied." β
Zhang Jun's eyes were a little moist, he didn't expect his friend to appear in front of him like this one day. This face, this smile, and this voice are clearly Ren Yudi, the Ren Yudi who has been missing for five years.
Zhang Jun wiped his eyes, he was so embarrassed that he almost cried.
Ren Yudi set his eyes on the indoor football field, pretending not to see Zhang Jun wiping his tears, he waved his hand: "How?" Your dreams. β
Zhang Jun smiled, after so many years, he still remembers, which shows that he is not a person who has forgotten his friends. It's just that I can't hide from them.
"Good, good...... I didn't expect you to remember it. β
"Of course I remember, I do. You don't think I've forgotten you just because I haven't been in touch with you in five years, do you? β
Zhang Jun was never hypocritical in front of his friends, he nodded and said viciously: "That's right! Your kid left without saying a word, and your home in Luoyang has changed owners. No one knows where you've been, or what you're doing, or even whether you're dead or alive......"
"Hey, I'm still alive...... Aren't I back now? And I also brought you a big gift. Ren Yu smiled.
"A big gift?" Zhang Jun didn't react for a while.
Ren Yu posed, "I am now the owner of the Reze Group, worth 1.8 billion euros, and the Fiorentina club is now also an asset in my name, and you ......" He looked at Zhang Jun, "It's my employee, haha!" β
Ren Yu was joking, he wasn't joking. Zhang Jun's mind was a little confused, it turned out that the mysterious behind-the-scenes boss was his classmate and friend. So why the boss must be in a hurry to see him has an explanation, he has been waiting for five years, of course he is in a hurry, and he is so anxious that he can't allow Zhang Jun to go back and change his clothes or make an appointment to come back at another time.
Ren Yu patted Zhang Jun and woke him up. "Let's go, go have tea. We talked slowly, and there was a lot of time. β
β»β»β»
Sitting in the spacious and bright hall, looking at the maid next to him, Zhang Jun is a little unaccustomed, although he is rich and the house is big, but he will only hire part-time workers to help him do the hygiene, and usually take care of himself. Ren Yu saw it, he waved his hand, and everyone retreated.
The fragrance of tea is still echoing on the tip of Zhang Jun's tongue, but he doesn't have the heart to taste tea, his mind is full of question marks now. "Florence was bought by you? What did you buy for? You don't want to play live FM (FootballManager), right? β
Ren Yu put down the teacup slowly, not in a hurry to answer Zhang Jun's question. "Zhang Jun, do you know? I played semi-professional football for a season. β
Zhang Jun was a little surprised.
"English Division C in the 04/05 season. I played for a year in a small club called 'Wendy'. On the one hand, I wanted to see if my body really couldn't adapt to the intense competition. On the other hand, I wanted to see if I still had feelings for football after so many years of not being exposed to it. Ren Yu played with the soccer ball in his hand.
"And then?"
"And then? Hehe, I failed. I could only play half a game in the third division and I had an injury. But...... I didn't get nothing, I found that I still love football. After so many years in the mall, I thought I had forgotten what it was like to play football, play happily, play to your heart's content, and then do your best. But there, I found that feeling. In the last game, we were fighting for promotion, everyone was desperate, the fans kept cheering us on and I found the feeling that we were working together for the title. Although we still lost in the end and didn't upgrade, I think I found the most important thing and that's enough......" Ren Yu leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and muttered with enjoyment. (For the specific plot, please refer to the gaiden story "Journey")
"I can't play anymore, but that doesn't mean I'm insulated from football. My body doesn't allow me to play with you, but my money allows me to be with you in another way. He waved.
"So you bought Florence?"
"Well, I gave de la Valle a lot of good, and he gave it up. That guy who sees the money, you and Florence will never have a future under him. Ren Yudi didn't tell Zhang Jun the truth, at that time, it was not just as simple as giving benefits, some abnormal means were also used. But Ren Yudi felt that there was no need to let Zhang Jun know about those shady things, he should play football wholeheartedly and happily. This is Zhang Jun's wish, and it is also what Ren Yudi wants to see most after so many years.
Zhang Jun didn't express an opinion, De La Valle became unrecognizable to him, and he left as soon as he left, he was not sad. But after a closer look, he found that Ren Yudi looked a little older than his actual age, as old as him, with wrinkles on his face, and obvious gray hair in his hair, but his spiritual eyes were no longer pure. In five years, there have been great changes, and the world in which Ren Yudi lives must be a world that he can hardly imagine.
"You're coming to Italy...... What about your family, your brother? β
"They are in Hong Kong, which is the headquarters of the Asian group. I don't care about them, and they don't care about me. Ren Yudi saw that Zhang Jun didn't look at him right, and hurriedly added: "Don't think about it, I didn't cut off my relationship with them, it's just that I earned all this money myself, and I want to use it to invest in football now, without their consent." The money doesn't have much to do with them. Let's just say that I have no worries right now and can do my best to help you and Florence achieve greatness. β
Zhang Jun was a little moved: "The net worth of 1.8 billion yuan...... Just to make me successful? β
"Zhang Jun, I hope to see you play happily, you are all successful, not only you, Yang Pan, An Ke, they are all ...... You're all successful and then I'm able to watch you play off the pitch and I'm satisfied. I don't care how much it costs, even if it's bankrupt, as long as we can be together. Jalimian is just a front for the outside world now, and I'll replace him next year, so we don't have to be sneaky at that time. You just play the ball, and I'll always cheer you on. Since we can't play football together, it's not bad to do this now......" Ren Yudi said with a smile, but somehow, Zhang Jun thought of Ren Yudi's sigh during the Spring Festival that year: "Professional players, ......"
In high school, he gave up his football career in exchange for three years of joy and chic. And now? He gave up the opportunity to continue making money, gave up more money, just to be with his friends, to watch them play, to see them succeed, and as for what his future holds, he didn't think about it.
In other words, he has been dormant for more than five years, hard work for more than five years, a much older face, early hair, hardships, tiredness, and maybe many dangers, all for today.
"Yes, it's not bad......" Zhang Jun was speechless for a while, and could only repeat Ren Yudi's words.
"I know Jun Zhang, you're looking for a new owner everywhere, but I want you to stay. Note that it is a hope, not a command, and your future should be chosen by you. β
Zhang Jun smiled: "You said so, what choice do I have?" Since you've staked your future and dreams on me, how can I go. Recently, it has been rumored that Basten will succeed Carlo Ancelotti, and Basten has named Zhang Jun to come back. To be honest, before Ren Yudi appeared, Zhang Jun really didn't pay attention to Basten's AC Milan. But now, even if Basten finds him in person, he can't have any illusions about Milan anymore. As he said to Yang Pan: "Life is a Florentine man, death is a Florentine man." β
Ren Yudi also smiled: "That's right, you can completely take what I just said as a high-sounding superficial effort." Actually, I know you're definitely going to stay, and I know you've had a rough time for the first five years. I am now creating a condition for you materially, and I hope you can go well. However, Zhang Jun, you have to understand one thing, although we are friends, there are some things that you still can't affect me, and some things still need you to work your own, I always pay attention to you, I understand your every step of growth......"
When Zhang Jun heard this, he suddenly remembered a question: "Then did you invite Fengqing?" β
Ren Yu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "That's a good doctor, right?" Also a very interesting person. That's right, I asked for it, and he treated me. "It's not a cure, it's an injury, but it's not a sports injury." I think he's good, so I'll recommend it to you. β
"So he's here again lately......"
"Huh? He's coming for you again? Ren Yu was surprised. Zhang Jun was also stunned: "What? Didn't you ask him to come? β
"Of course not." Ren Yu shook his head, "This Feng Qing is very interesting, he will never go back to the patients he has treated...... I spent a lot of money looking for him...... He would take the initiative to come to you again? β
"Hmm." Zhang Jun nodded, "I always thought you sent him." He said that he came to give me a follow-up, and it was his credit that I got better so quickly this time. β
Ren Yu touched his chin, "Well, I was busy with the acquisition of Florence during that time, and I neglected it. In fact, his responsibility to me ended after that time in the Netherlands, and we were not in touch. However, since this is the case...... It's interesting, I think I have another idea......" Ren Yu whispered, he didn't say what the idea was, and Zhang Jun didn't ask. He felt that he didn't understand those things, so it was better not to ask.
"Well, okay, I'll take care of him. As for you, Zhang Jun. Ren Yu looked at Zhang Jun and said, "I'm sure you'll get everything you want here." He said this very seriously, without the slightest hint of joke.
Zhang Jun, who had dinner, was personally sent to the car by Ren Yudi, and told him to go back and prepare for next season's Serie A with peace of mind, ignore whatever happens, and take care of everything himself.
Zhang Jun turned back to him before getting into the car and asked: "You should have never managed a club, you are a rookie like de la Valle, why are you so confident that Fiorentina will regain glory under you?" β
Ren Yu patted his chest: "Don't worry, in order to manage Florence, I have been playing with her repeatedly in FM for a long time, and I am the triple crown every year!" β
Zhang Jun rolled his eyes, and sure enough, it was still a real person......

Hua Fang was very interested in this mysterious boss, and as soon as she heard that Zhang Jun was back, she rushed over. She was afraid that Zhang Jun would be tricked into agreeing to some unequal treaty. As a result, Zhang Jun smiled and reassured her, saying that the so-called behind-the-scenes boss was actually his high school classmate, and after graduating from high school, he followed his father to go into business, and he hadn't been in touch for five years, but he didn't expect to be so promising now.
"Don't worry, Sister Hua. Ren Yudi is a good friend of mine, and he actually came to help me, and he will not do me any harm. Zhang Jun said with a relaxed face, as if he was still reminiscing about the adventure with Ren Yudi, but he didn't notice that the expression on Hua Fang's face was very unnatural.
Absentmindedly chatted with Zhang Jun for a few words, and Hua Fang said goodbye. Zhang Jun didn't keep it, he was in a hurry to call Yang Pan, An Ke, Kaka, and Li Yongle to tell them the good news.
Hua Fang didn't ask Zhang Jun what kind of boss he was, not that she wasn't curious, but that she knew more about the businessman Ren Yudi than Zhang Junke.
Ren Yudi!
She bit her lip fiercely, it seemed that she should be thanks to him today.
At the beginning, Fahrenheit was headquartered in Hong Kong and was very strong throughout Southeast Asia, but due to his own negligence, he took advantage of the loophole. When he first came to Hong Kong, he wanted to buy Fahrenheit, Fahrenheit is an old family business, how could he buy it if he said he could buy it?
Hua Fang, who was still called Hua Yang at the time, didn't take this young man younger than her seriously at all, but she never thought that she would be defeated in the end.
Hua Fang has been trained since she was a child, what kind of wind and waves have she not seen? What kind of ups and downs haven't been experienced? When she always haunted this failure, firstly, because she lost the entire Fahrenheit, and secondly, because she did not lose in the legitimate business competition with Ren Yudi, but lost in her own hands.
I always thought that everyone was a person who had feelings for Hua's, after all, they were all from the same family, and they couldn't see anything wrong with them in their usual performance. But I don't know what benefits Ren Yu gave them, the most critical time was that it was these usual "relatives" who fought back, collectively set her up, and signed a contract with Ren Yu in private. Everyone betrayed her, and she was eventually banished to Europe, where she was called a tourist.
It was a period of time that Hua Fang didn't want to recall, and she is now working as an agent for several players by herself, and she is very busy, which can be regarded as another escape.
But now, Ren Yudi's appearance makes her have to recall.
When Hua Fang, who had just arrived home, was still depressed, she received a strange phone call.
When she connects, she hears a voice that can only be heard in nightmares.
βhelloοΌ It's been a long time since we've seen each other. Should I call you Hua Yang now? Or Huafang? β
"Shall I call you, Mr. President, or Godfather?" Hua Fang reacted quickly and fought back, not to be outdone.
Ren Yudi's tone changed, "What do you know?" β
"I've only heard of it." Hua Fang had only heard some shady scenes sporadically, but the godfather was casually made up by her.
"Okay...... Ren Yu's tone softened, "you don't tell Zhang Jun anything you know." β
Hua Fang raised her eyebrows, at this time she was very much like Hua Yang at the beginning, she had a sense of pleasure of victory: "I can't imagine that the big boss Ren who is not afraid of the sky and the earth also has a weakness, hey!" β
In the face of this naked ridicule, Ren Yudi was not angry, or he did not show his anger. "Miss Hua, you also know Zhang Jun's temper, you have been with him for so long, you should know what kind of person he is. I'm doing it for his good, he just needs to play football well and he doesn't care about anything else. Aren't you also out there sharing a lot of pressure for him? β
Hua Fang was stunned by this rhetorical question, she really didn't mind pretending to be a villain in front of everyone, as long as Zhang Jun's child could be less stressed.
"So our goal is the same. I came to Florence to help Jun Zhang, and so did you. And the more successful Zhang Jun is, the greater our interests. You were a businessman, and you should know that there are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests. Now that we have the same interests, why not put aside our old suspicions and cooperate? Moreover, the Fahrenheit business is in my hands, and it is good to be defeated by those losers......"
Hua Fang sighed and interrupted Ren Yudi's words. Although she didn't want to admit it, it was Ren Yu who made her see the faces of the people around her. Ren Yu is right, that group of people is indeed a loser. Anyway, I'm quite satisfied with my new identity.
"Well, okay. Hua Fang is Hua Fang, Hua Yang is Hua Yang, and the two of them have nothing to do with each other. When are you available? β
"What? Does the beautiful woman want to invite me to dinner? I'm always available......"
"No, now that there is a rich and generous boss, I think we should renegotiate Zhang Jun's contract, I ask for Zhang Jun's salary and bonuses to be increased, and the image rights should all belong to the player......," Hua Fang said coldly.
"So I didn't want you to face off in Hong Kong......" Ren Yu groaned in pain, "this...... You talk to Jalimian, he's the president of the club now, I'm just a hidden figure. Nominally you're going to talk to him, although it's me who makes the decision......" He said, and hung up the phone in a hurry.
The corners of Hua Fang's mouth pulled out a smile, now that she has the handle in her hand, she can't believe that she can't repay the original revenge.
