Chapter Eighty-Four: The Horror Trio
Milan beat the Bundesliga giants 3-1 at the Allianz Arena to take the lead in the two-legged knockout round and shatter Bayern's dream of a fifteen-game winning streak at home. The German media collectively lost their voices, and they were very optimistic about Bayern before the game.
That night, in another match, Real Madrid also fell at home. They lost 1-0 at the feet of Arsenal. It was the first time an English side had won at the Bernabeu, ending Real Madrid's 40-month unbeaten run at home in Europe.
The hero of the game was Thierry Henry, the Frenchman ran 50 metres after winning the ball near the centre circle, Guti didn't tackle him, Ramos didn't block him, Cassie couldn't stop him.
In the other two matches, Benfica beat defending champions Liverpool 1-0 at home; PSV Eindhoven lost 0-1 at home to Ligue 1 giants Lyon.
The next day, many media outlets praised Milan's victory at the Allianz Arena, believing that Milan had already reached the quarter-finals with one foot.
The headline of the Milan sports newspaper reads: The horror trio crushes the Bayern chariot, and the Allianz Arena dominates Milan!
They refer to Ronnie, Tang Jue, and Kaka as the "horror trio", believing that their attack power is terrifying, and the entire Allianz Arena is silent.
The headline of Roma Sport is: Milan Yang Wei Allianz Stadium, 3-1 victory over Bayern!
The headline of the British Guardian reads: Ronnie rejuvenated, Bayern lost at home!
They specifically said the banner of the Bayern fans, and said sarcastically: "Bayern did not step on the 'fat Luo', but the 'fat Luo' stepped on Bayern." ”
Germany's Kicker believes that Bayern did not fully defend Ronnie in this game as a reason for their defeat. Another reason is Tang Jue's transformation. He is no longer a player who only knows how to break through, but a superstar who knows how to share the game with his teammates. Bayern didn't complain at all about losing, and they couldn't suppress the Milan front three, and whoever touched Milan would die.
The headline of the Marca newspaper reads: Ronnie shines at the Allianz Arena, Milan wins 3-1!
Real Madrid were sacked by Arsenal, and they once again brought up the issue of Ronnie's transfer, arguing that Real Madrid should not sell Ronnie. "When Real Madrid fans learned online that Ronnie had rounded Kahn to score the ball into the empty net at the Allianz Arena, they shouted Ronnie's name again on the pitch," they said. Florentino's face in the VIP table was extremely ugly. ”
Real Madrid's poor record, and the mistake of selling Ronnie. This led to Florentino's resignation as Real Madrid's presidency a few months later.
Marca believes that the magic weapon for Milan's victory is their terrifying attack group. The three most powerful attacking forces of Milan collectively made a collective effort, scoring a goal each and beating Bayern. If there is anyone else in football today who can match Milan's attacking group. There is only Barcelona with Ronaldo.
……
The significance of this victory is significant. The Milan front trio has since been competing in Serie A and European competitions. Unleash a terrifying offensive ability. With constant victories, the European press shouted: who else can stop the "terrorist trio"?
The three of them are the top in the world in terms of ball control and breakthrough, plus the tacit cooperation between each other. It's like nuclear fusion, producing an astonishing amount of energy.
Milan flew back to Milan the next day as they had Serie A games in three days' time. They will travel to Palermo for the last game of their devil's schedule.
On 23 February, four more Champions League last-16 matches begin. Barcelona were in the limelight at Stamford Bridge with a 2-1 win over Chelsea led by the Magic Bird. Inter drew 2-2 away at Ajax, Juventus lost 2-3 away to Bremen and Rangers drew 2-2 at home to visiting Villarreal.
On 26 February, Milan's 'horror trio' came back on the back burner, with Ronnie maintaining his good form in the first two games, opening the scoring after 25 minutes of the first half. Ten minutes later, Tang Jue received a pass from Kaka in the penalty area and shot angrily to help Milan end the first half 2-0.
In the fifteenth minute of the second half, Tang Jue was brought down in front of the penalty area, and the referee awarded a direct free kick. Pirlo took advantage of the opportunity and slotted the ball straight into the Palermo goal.
Milan won by three goals and they finally ended the devil's fixture. With three wins in three games, Milan came out on top.
The next day the Milan sports newspaper commented on the match, and they thought that "horror trio! It will allow Milan to recreate the "Milan Dynasty" of the "Three Musketeers" era. One of the founding fathers of that brilliance, Carlo Ancelotti is now the manager of Milan, and he must know how to use these three of the world's best players.
They are even analyzing the strength of the Three Musketeers and the "Terror Trio", with the Three Musketeers' attack arrows being Basten, Gullit being the current Kaka character, and Rijack Keld standing behind them, providing support. The Three Musketeers have more control over the midfield.
The "horror trio" is stronger in attack, Ronnie and Tang Jue are two players with a very high goal rate, Kaka's goalscoring ability, looking at the whole world, he is also the most capable of scoring forwards.
If you add in Andrea Pirlo behind them, Milan's midfield is already the strongest in the world. A rising "Milan dynasty" is showing its prowess. Gorgeous and fluid attack, super forward, solid defense. Milan wants to create new brilliance!
……
After the match with Palermo, Don Jue asked Carlo Ancelotti for two days off, and he flew to Paris with Alice. He was going to carry out his plan.
With a shortage of funds and production capacity unable to meet demand, he had to solve the current dilemma that the company was facing.
……
Two months ago, the media broke the news that Ruihua was in a shortage of funds, and since then, the stock of France's largest and world's third-largest pharmaceutical company has begun to fall.
In two months, Ruihua's market value has shrunk by 60%. As the chairman of the company, the elder Grandet tried everything he could to get a loan from the bank. Negative news was frequent, and the elder Grande could not gain the trust of the bank.
By the end of a month, old Grande had a haggard face. Ruihua's shareholders began to sell their shares one after another. At this time, a mysterious buyer appeared and ate all the shares that shareholders had sold. In just half a month, the dismal stock trading suddenly soared, and the trading volume reached 500 million euros! This caught the attention of other shareholders who wanted to sell their shares, and they decided to wait and see.
Half a month ago, a mysterious figure suddenly contacted Old Grande, and the reason why he said mysterious was because Old Grande didn't know about the character of Lu Dao before. This mysterious figure told him that he was interested in cooperating with Ruihua Group, and the way to cooperate was to take a stake in the prescription. In addition, large sums of money can also be found to alleviate the financial pressure of Ruihua.
Old Grande was not interested in taking a stake in the prescription. Ruihua, who is in trouble, is very eager for funds. Old Grandet asked how much money he could provide. The other party said that it could provide one billion euros!
Old Grandet almost jumped up, like a big pie suddenly falling from the sky, and suddenly smashing it on his head. However, the condition of the other party is that the drug must first participate in the shares. The mysterious man lion opened his mouth wide. This prescription requires a 1% stake in Ruihua. Besides. This prescription is owned by the mysterious person, and for each pill sold, the other party charges 40% of the prescription fee.
This condition is harsh. It's simply unacceptable.
The elder Grandet very much wanted to get the money that amounted to one billion euros, and with this fund, Ruihua would be able to solve the current difficulties immediately.
Old Grandet thought about it for a long time and decided to meet the mysterious man. The mystery man refused to meet, saying that if he could not accept these conditions, everything would not be discussed. The strength of the mysterious man annoyed old Grandet very much, and he decided to cool the other party.
As time went on, Ruihua's stock was still falling, and the company's basic liquidity was about to become a problem. Grandet Sr. was so anxious that he called the mysterious man and told him that he could convene a board meeting and get the deal approved by the board of directors as long as he produced convincing evidence, but there were some details that needed to be discussed.
The mysterious man agreed, and the two sides agreed to meet at the old Grande's house, and the meeting time was 11 o'clock in the morning of the 28th. The mysterious man told old Grandet that the names of the people he met were Tang Jue and Alice, one was a black-haired Chinese and the other was a native Frenchman!
At four o'clock in the afternoon of the 27th, Tang Jue and Alice came out of Paris International Airport, and Bei Qiang waved to them from afar. The trio got into a black Mercedes sedan, and an hour and a half later, the trio arrived at Alice's home.
Since being stolen out of this house by Tang Jue, a "stupid thief", Alice has never returned. Because this family has her beautiful memories, but also the pain of her loss of loved ones. She didn't want to go back here and think of her mother. When Tang Jue played at Saint-Germain, they had a house provided by the club to live in, and now they can only come here.
Tang Jue looked at the layout of the room the same as when he came, and his face showed embarrassment. Alice put down her suitcase and began to tidy up her home. Tang Jue and Bei Qiang sat on the sofa in the living room and began to carefully discuss the psychology of Old Grande and the current situation of Ruihua Company.
Bei Qiang looked at Tang Jue and shook his head and said, "I don't believe that you can successfully negotiate this time, and you will have to take 1% of the shares for a prescription, and there has never been such a thing." Old Grandet does need money, and I think he might compensate you in other ways. ”
Tang Jue smiled very confidently: "You don't have to worry about these things, think about it, the French entertainment industry is now rushing to our diet pills, and everyone wants to get it." As long as Old Grande inquired, he knew how big the market for weight loss pills was. We make a lot of money, and he can make some of it. ”
Bei Qiang smiled and shook his head: "When you were asked to take out a loan to expand the scale of the factory, you said that the bank was a vampire. I'm only now realizing that you're the real vampire. 40% of the selling price, excluding costs and management expenses, according to our pricing, Ruihua can only get 20%. ”
The cost of processing each diet pill is 0.5 euros, and the price of Tang Jue is 2 euros per tablet. If Tang Jue gets 40% of the selling price, he will make a net profit of 0.8 euros per pill. Each person takes one tablet a day, and if a person takes it for a month, it costs sixty euros per month. For the average family, the price is completely affordable.
Tang Jue smiled: "Qiangzi, we invested so much in the early stage, and now we should get a return." By the way, I discussed with Alice and Wen Ting, and Longteng Company will give you 5% of the shares. ”
After a long negotiation, Tang Jue and Alice saw that the shares were settled. Diet pills occupy 50% of the shares, of which Tang Jue and Wen Ting each have half of the shares, and Alice has invested 8 million euros, occupying 30% of the shares. Tang Jue previously invested 3 million euros in R&D, accounting for 15% of the shares, and the remaining 5% went to the company's manager Bei Qiang.
That is to say, the company's largest shareholder Tang Jue accounts for 35% of the shares, Alice, who has contributed the most capital, accounts for 30%, and researcher Wen Ting ranks third with 25%. In the future, every time Wen Ting researches a new prescription, the company will directly give Wen Ting a commission from sales according to cost accounting.
In order to avoid suspicion, Tang Jue asked Alice to be the chairman of the company. But the actual control is still in Tang Jue's hands.
Bei Qiang looked at Tang Jue in shock: "5%? I haven't paid a penny, huh? ”
Although the company has not yet made money, its prospects can still be seen, in the future, how much will the 5% stake be?
"We are brothers, and everyone earns money, not to mention that it is very normal to reward managers with shares." Tang Jue patted Bei Qiang's shoulder and said: "Your task will be very heavy in the future, and we will have to develop the Asian market ourselves sooner or later." Ruihua helps us to develop the European market, so Asia, America, those places we have to firmly control in our own hands. ”
Bei Qiang looked at Tang Jue in surprise: "What? Would you ask the old Grandet to limit itself to the European market? Would he agree? ”
Tang Jue smiled: "He can already make a lot of money by occupying the European market." What is the population of Europe, not to mention too much, as long as 20% of the population takes our medicine, you think about it, how much is that? And diet pills must be taken all the time to be effective! (To be continued......)
