Chapter Eighty-Seven: Shi Shan
In the business world, many people are superstitious about one thing, and that is age.
As the saying goes, if you don't have hair on your mouth, you can't do things firmly, which is probably the same truth. Of course, this is only superstition, but it is not the truth. Because there are always exceptions.
Cerezo is an exception.
When he first met this young woman who was so young that he could almost be his granddaughter, Cerezo actually couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous in his heart, he was not all superstitious age people, but this woman was really a little too young, on the one hand, this made him inevitably think about some media reports on China, thinking that the other party was only qualified to stand in front of him by standing on the shoulders of his father, and on the other hand, he was also a little dissatisfied with the other party's "contempt" for him.
Of course, even with the eyes of Westerners, Cerezo admits that the woman in front of him is very beautiful. It is true that the pretty can gain some advantages in the negotiations, but in the end it is not decisive, at least not for Cerezo.
The best disguise. The simplest proof is that this woman only persuaded Little Hill to make concessions after only a few negotiations.
Having worked with Hill Jr. for more than a decade, Cerezo knows very well how stubborn Hill Jr. is, almost in the same vein as his late old friend Hill Sr. There are times when it comes to convincing a stubborn person that there is no logic at all, but this woman has done it, so much so that Cerezo even has to wonder if this woman has used some ulterior means, of course, this is only a slightly malicious speculation, because Cerezo knows very well that the other party does not need to do this at all.
"I hope to have a happy cooperation in the future, Mr. President."
The speaker spoke in Spanish, which was not very proficient, but the tone was mellow, neither humble nor arrogant.
"This is our common wish." Cerezo nodded and smiled back. From frowning at the beginning of the other party's reciprocal tone, by now, Cerezo has become accustomed to the other party's equals.
Yes, the equity transfer agreement has been reached, although it has not been officially announced to the public for the time being, but from this time on, Atletico Madrid will no longer be the club of the Hill family, as the media said, Atletico Madrid has changed. In less than a month, things have moved so fast. This also made Cerezo feel a little emotional, because of Atletico Madrid's equity dispute, which once even brought the club to the brink of crisis.
In the early nineties of the last century, La Liga clubs implemented shareholding reform, and the old Hill, then the president of Atletico Madrid, and the vice-president Cerezo put nearly 95% of the shares into their names, and at the turn of the century, the East Window incident, the two were brought to court, and the Spanish National Court finally confirmed the legitimacy of the shares of the old Hill and Cerezo after a three-year investigation. Then, as Hill Sr. stepped back into the background and Cerezo was promoted to chairman, Hill Jr. stepped to the forefront.
Until now. Although during the period happened Hill Jr. and Cerezo to Alfonso. Camba sold a 20% stake, but with Camba soon out, Atletico remained the club of Hill and Cerezo.
Until a month ago, the Hill family held an absolute stake in the club. It controls more than 60 percent of the shares, while Cerezzo owns 20 percent, and the remaining few shares belong to the rest of the board. And now, the Shi Group from China has replaced the Hill family as the largest shareholder of the club, they bought fifty percent of the shares from Little Hill, and Little Hill only symbolically left one percent, but with the resignation of Little Hill as general manager, it basically indicates that the Hill family has completely handed over the right to speak in Atletico Madrid.
The greeting point stopped, and soon, Cerezo's side was replaced by another person, Little Hill.
"Atletico will be handed over to you in the future, Enrique." Little Hill said lightly.
"I'm afraid she's not as talkative as you are." Still staring at the man who had just walked away, Cerezo said.
"Is this a compliment or a ......," said little Hill with a smile, good words, sometimes not necessarily good words, especially when interests are involved.
"Compliment." Cerezo turned his head and smiled, "Don't you think your shares are being transferred too quickly?" ”
"It's a little." Little Ciel was silent for a moment and said, "However, the offer is very generous, and there is no reason to refuse." ”
"That's right." Cerezo smiled and said, but there was one sentence in his heart that he didn't say, that is, in business, there is never the greatest benefit, only the greater good.
"Actually, it's a bit reluctant." Little Ciel suddenly sighed and said, "However, this is a decision to be made sooner or later. ”
Cerezo nodded.
For Atletico Madrid fans, in the past few decades, Atletico Madrid has been equal to the Hill family, just like thinking of Italy's Inter Milan, you can't help but mention the Moratti family, but, like the Moratti family who has left Inter Milan, the Hill family has to say goodbye to Atletico Madrid after all. In this regard, the old Hill is luckier than Moratti, because although the younger Hill has not been able to make a name for himself in Atletico Madrid, at least he has never made Atletico lose the color of the Hill family.
"Don't you still have a percentage of shares?" "And there's a buyback priority in the agreement, so maybe you'll be back one day." ”
After all, since coming to Atletico Madrid, the Hill family has always been Cerezo's partner, although there were unpleasant experiences during the cooperation, but when the Hill family withdrew, Cerezo still inevitably had some regrets, and he half-jokingly "comforted" little Hill.
"I don't want that to happen." Little Hill laughed.
Cerezo shook his head with a smile when he heard this, yes, if that's the case, it basically means that this acquisition will not have a positive impact on Atletico Madrid, at least.
"Well, then, good luck to Atletico." ――
All kinds of things are happening in the world all the time, even if you care about current affairs, it is impossible to know everything, even Lin Sen, who is an "unpredictable prophet", can't do it, not to mention, as the expiration time of the plug-in is approaching, many things have begun to gradually depart from his memory.
Therefore, Lin Sen didn't know what happened to Atletico Madrid, the former club, and he didn't really care much. However, a very unexpected phone call put the matter in front of his eyes.
The call came from a person Lin Sen had a relationship with once.
Shi Shan.
The woman who had a slightly embarrassing "blind date" a few years ago when Lin Sen was still the head coach of Malaga under the arrangement of his elders.
For Shi Shan, Lin Sen can't say that he has no impression at all, although the "blind date" process is not long, but it is still quite "chic", Shi Shan's straightforwardness at that time made Lin Sen remember her, but since then, the two have never had any contact, so the two are not friends, not even acquaintances, at most strangers who know each other.
Because of this, Lin Sen was a little strange when he was surprised by Shi Shan's phone call, but after explaining his identity, the first sentence Shi Shan said made him almost jump.
"Do you have memories of the future?"
Lin Sen only felt that his scalp was a little numb, and he almost subconsciously blurted out how do you know, but he still held back his words.
The memory of the future, to be exact, is the memory of the past, this is Lin Sen's biggest secret, the past is, the present is, and the future is, except for mentioning it to his grandfather once, Lin Sen has never mentioned this matter even if it is his own parents, he wants to ask Shi Shan how he would know about it, because he doesn't think his grandfather will tell her about it. So, why? Even if it was just a temptation, it was enough to surprise Lin Sen.
There were thousands of turns in his mind, but Lin Sen's answer was very fast, because he knew that hesitation or hesitation at this time was obviously tantamount to acquiescence.
"What future memories?" Lin Sen said calmly.
"You should know very well." As if expecting Lin Sen's answer, Shi Shan's tone did not change in the slightest.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Where could Lin Sen be so easy to affirm the other party's words, so he continued.
This time, Shi Shan fell silent.
Seeing that Shi Shan didn't speak, Lin Sen immediately said, "Why did you suddenly talk about this?" ”
Lin Sen's original intention was to set out the other party's words, but as soon as he said this, it seemed to anger Shi Shan, and she immediately sneered and replied, "Maybe I didn't express it clearly enough, my question just now was not to confirm anything, just out of politeness." ”
At this moment, Lin Sen fell silent.
It's just out of politeness, that is, Shi Shan believes that Lin Sen has the memory of that "future", so the question comes back to it, why would she know?
"I know what you're thinking at this time, it's nothing more than thinking about why I know, and I also know why you don't want to admit it, because no one will believe it, but I can tell you very frankly that I can't answer your question, but I can remind you that your resume may seem legendary to others, but in my opinion, it's just a little more luck, and it's not difficult to come to this conclusion."
Lin Sen remained silent.
Shi Shan's words may sound unreasonable, but in fact, from Lin Sen's point of view, it is reasonable, if anyone is willing to believe that he has "future memories", then, his entire coaching career, although not as just luck as Shi Shan said, is undoubtedly no longer so legendary.
But, even so, Lin Sen still didn't intend to admit it.
"I still don't know what you're talking about, if you don't have anything else, then ......"
As he spoke, Lin Sen was about to hang up the phone, because he found that if the conversation continued, things seemed to be getting out of control for him. However, Shi Shan couldn't get him to hang up the phone, because she dropped another bombshell, she said......
"We're one kind." (To be continued......)
