After leaving the Paris Saint-Germain headquarters, Zhuang Mingge and Karin saw that it was close to dusk, so they decided to choose a nearby high-end hotel to stay in.

At the time of check-in, although Zhuang Mingge really wanted to share a room with Karin, and by the way, he would have a night attack or something, but thinking about Karin's combat power that broke through the sky, for the sake of his own personal safety, Zhuang Mingge finally gave up this unrealistic plan and honestly booked two single rooms next to each other.

Although Zhuang Mingge is now dressed in the skin of a Westerner, he has the inner nature of traditional Chinese, so Zhuang Mingge is not very yearning for Western nightlife; And although Karin is very lively and cheerful, she is also an alternative who doesn't like nightlife, seeing that the street lights outside have been turned on, the two have a tacit understanding and go back to their respective rooms to rest.

Although Karin said before entering the room, "Tony, if you want to sleep with me, come here", so that the innocent young man Zhuang Mingge did not sleep well all night.

The next day, when Karin saw Zhuang Mingge with a pair of dark circles, she burst out with a smile: "Poof, haha...... Tony, you won't lose sleep because of my words, will you? ”

"No, it's not! I just don't fit in with that bed! Zhuang Mingge hurriedly explained, but unfortunately that look was not convincing.

"Okay, okay, I know you didn't lose sleep because of that sentence~" Karin decided to save face for Zhuang Mingge, and pulled Zhuang Mingge towards the restaurant, "The restaurant that comes with this hotel looks very good, let's go have breakfast first." ”

The two were tasting breakfast in the restaurant, when Zhuang Mingge received a call from Michelle:

"Hello, Mr. Michelle, I didn't expect to be answered so quickly."

"Good morning, Mr. Corleone, I have bad news for you here, yesterday our club received an offer from Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League, who were willing to pay $12 million for our club's midfielder David Ginola." Michelle's tone on the other end of the phone looked extremely hateful in Zhuang Mingge's ears, "Therefore, I have to inform you that if Fiorentina is not willing to make an offer of $12 million for David, we will withdraw the transfer negotiations with your club." ”

“Shit！” Zhuang Mingge scolded in his heart, historically, Blackburn Rovers will bring in Christopher Sutton from Norwich at the end of this season, and there should be no extra funds to introduce other big-name players, is it the "butterfly effect" brought by his own traverser?

What Zhuang Mingge didn't know was that Ginola would lead Paris Saint-Germain to win the Ligue 1 title this season, and the club would naturally not let go of this key player, and Ginola naturally had no chance to go to England.

The current situation is that Ginola wants to leave, and Paris Saint-Germain does not want to keep this hot potato, and only intends to sell him for a good price.

But $12 million is too outrageous, although Zhuang Mingge has just made a profit of $50 million through gambling, but he can't just spend money to buy people, if he throws 12 million for a Ginola, this is equivalent to giving a signal to the managers of other clubs: "Fiorentina people are stupid, there is a lot of money, come quickly." In the future, if the club buys players, they will have to be killed by other teams.

The most typical example is Chelsea and Manchester City, everyone knows that they have money, and they don't care about spending money, so when these two clubs come to buy people, the value of the player automatically increases by 30% or more.

Zhuang Mingge didn't intend to be such a wrongdoer, so after thinking for a while, he replied:

"Mr. Michel, $12 million is not a small amount, so I need to think about it all morning, and I will call you at noon, hoping that the Saint-Germain club will not make a decision based on it."

"Okay, I'll wait for you until one o'clock in the afternoon, and if I haven't received your reply after this time, I can only say sorry." After Michelle finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Zhuang Mingge, who was on the other side of the phone, held the mobile phone in his hand tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Karin soon noticed Zhuang Mingge's abnormality and asked with concern: "Tony, what did Paris Saint-Germain Club say, is there any bad news?" ”

"yes, a very bad news, Blackburn Rovers of the Premier League have intervened in the transfer of Ginola." Zhuang Mingge smiled bitterly and repeated Michelle's words on the phone to Karin, "It seems that we can't get Ginola." ”

"When did the English become so rich?" Karin was also so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time, her expression was very cute, "It seems that Blackburn's boss is really rich to be able to pay so much transfer fees to bring in players." ”

For Karin's words, Zhuang Mingge just smiled and didn't explain much, of course he knew that the reason why Premier League teams can introduce players in a big way is mainly due to the commercial operation of the Premier League, just in the TV broadcast fee, the 20 teams in the Premier League can earn a total of 191 million pounds by 97, not to mention the income from the league naming rights and the peripheral products of each club.

"Karin, help me get through to Blackburn Rovers manager Dalglish." Zhuang Mingge knows that the transfer power of Premier League clubs is generally in the hands of the manager, and he wants to know what Dalglish's plans are, whether he wants to make a gimmick or really want to bring in Ginola.

Karin quickly found the phone number and signaled that Zhuang Mingge had called Dalglish, Zhuang Mingge nodded and took the phone: "Hello, Mr. Dalglish, I am the new president of the Fiorentina club, Antonio Corleone. ”

"Hello, I'm the head coach of Blackburn Rovers, Kenny Dalglish." Dalglish's voice rang on the phone, "May I ask what Mr. Corleone is looking for me?" ”

"I've heard that Blake was going to spend $12 million on David Ginola, so may I ask Mr. Dalglish, is that really the case?" Zhuang Mingge was not verbose, and went straight to the point to clarify the topic, "If this matter is true, don't you think this price is too outrageous?" ”

As soon as Dalglish heard this, he immediately understood that Fiorentina was also involved in the transfer: "Yes, I think David Ginola can be the perfect attacking combination with Alan Shearer, and our club can really afford this transfer fee. Mr. Corleone, while you may be able to afford the money, I would like to remind you that I don't think an English top flight team is as good as a club that can only stay in the Italian second division. ”

"Hehe, I'll remember." Zhuang Mingge's tone did not fluctuate in the slightest, but in fact he was already angered by Dalglish's words: Isn't this cursing us Florence for not being able to be promoted?

"That's the end of the conversation, good luck, Mr. Dalglish." Zhuang Mingge hung up the phone with a blue face, he finally began to understand the difficulties of a team in the second division when it comes to bringing in players, just because the team is always at a disadvantage when competing with those teams in the top league in the second division, and the summer transfer period has made himself a little flustered by the successive digging of Felicano and Kripa.

Cut, let you be embarrassed in front of me now, the story of Blackburn's relegation after winning the championship has been laughed out of the teeth by countless teams.

Zhuang Mingge thought of this, his face became a little better, and then called Michelle Fiorentina to give up the offer to Ginola, and after the two exchanged zaijian on the phone, Zhuang Mingge said helplessly to Karin: "Dalglish is determined to get Ginola, it seems that we have to give up, Florence does not have the ability to spend money to buy players now." ”

Karin didn't say anything, just went up and gently grabbed Zhuang Mingge's arm, she knew that the young man in front of her had done his best to build Florence, and now all he needed was a silent comfort and a haven of rest.
