Chapter 501: Prodi's Action (Part II)

After arriving in Rome, Zhuang Mingge and Karin met the people sent by Prodi to meet them as soon as they left the train station, and then arrived at the chancellor's palace by special car.

"Chairman Corleone, it's a pleasure to see you again." I haven't seen him for a few months, Prodi's complexion looks much better than the last time, and the feeling of being anxious in the past is as if it has never appeared in him, "You came in time, I only called you in the morning to say that there is something important to discuss, just take the time to come to Rome in the past two days, I didn't expect you to arrive here after noon." ”

"Since it is your invitation, Mr. Prime Minister, of course I have to rush here as much as possible, so as not to delay any major events." Since Prodi was so kind to himself, Zhuang Mingge naturally said a few polite words, "Did something good happen when I was specially invited here this time?" ”

"Of course something good happened." Prodi smiled and winked at Zhuang Mingge, "What?" Didn't you hear anything about it, Chairman Corleone? That's not the Corleone family's style. ”

"What do you mean, Mr. Prime Minister?" Although he was mentally prepared on the way here, hearing Prodi say this himself, Zhuang Mingge's heart still beat twice.

"Haha, don't talk about these things yet, you must have not had lunch yet, right?" Prodi aroused Zhuang Mingge's appetite very wickedly, "I have a chef with quite good skills here, you and this beautiful lady next to you can have a light meal at my place." ”

"This ...... All right. Zhuang Mingge glanced at Karin, who was standing behind him, and thought that he had chatted with Karin on the train this time, but he missed lunchtime, so he readily agreed to Prodi's invitation.

"I won't say much about what happened, but all in all, the proposal for the privatization of the stadium has already had preliminary results after the first vote in Parliament." After a hearty lunch, Prodi took a sip of wine and finally got the conversation to the point.

"So, Mr. Prime Minister, what is the result?" Seeing Prodi's smug expression, Zhuang Mingge also guessed a thing or two in his heart, but he still asked, he had to let the other party vent his joy.

"The result? Of course, it's an all-ticket pass! When Prodi said this, he couldn't help but recall Silvio Berlusconi's deflated expression, who had been trying his best to oust him from the post of prime minister, and showed a bright smile, "Although the final draft of the bill is not yet complete, so far, from the information I have received, the vast majority of parliamentarians are in favor of privatizing the stadium and reducing government spending while increasing taxes." Therefore, I think it is only a matter of time before the bill becomes clear. ”

"Mr. Prime Minister, is this true?" Hearing Prodi's reply, Zhuang Mingge almost got up from his chair excitedly, originally he thought that it would take more than a year to convince those stereotyped old antiques, even Prodi, who was supported by Agnelli and other big families, but he didn't expect that the result would be almost reached after only half a year, "Mr. Prime Minister, on behalf of Fiorentina and other Italian clubs, I am here to thank you for your great contribution to the development of Italian football. ”

"No, no, I'm the one who should be thankful. Thanks to Chairman Corleone's suggestion at the beginning of the year, I wouldn't have been able to resist Berlusconi's old fox attack so easily. Prodi drank the wine from his glass and said with a smile.

"Haha, Mr. Prime Minister, you really won the award." Zhuang Mingge knows that he and Prodi just need to maintain a good personal relationship, and it is better not to hang on his head for such credits, "I am just in a responsible attitude for the future of Italian football and clubs, and I have told you my idea to Mr. Prime Minister, and I have really realized this idea and put it into action, but Mr. Prime Minister!" ”

"Haha." Hearing Zhuang Mingge's compliment, although he knew that the other party was doing it on purpose, Prodi's heart was still very happy, after all, the bill made him establish a good relationship with many big families in Italy, which gave Prodi more confidence and gained a firm foothold in the Italian political arena where changing prime ministers is as frequent as changing clothes (in the past ten years, a total of ten people have been elected prime ministers of Italy, four of whom have been in office for less than a year).

At the same time, this experience also made Prodi understand that if he can also show more positive attitudes in football in the future, then these big families will also give him a corresponding reward, that is, the throne of Italian prime minister.

Then, Zhuang Mingge learned from Prodiben the specific content of the new bill that he was going to submit to the parliament for consideration and voting in a while.

According to Prodi's vision, the new bill will clearly stipulate that the stadium will be owned by the club, and the owner of the stadium will have all the rights to the stadium, including the most critical renovation rights and commercial development rights, and will no longer be subject to the rigid constraints of government agencies, and a lot of money-making opportunities will be lost in vain.

After the enactment of the bill, Italian clubs can either raise their own funds to buy land for the construction of their stadiums, or they can submit a request to the local municipality to purchase an existing stadium.

If a club wants to buy a stadium that they are currently renting, the local municipality should give the club a certain discount, such as a discount on the sale price of the stadium; In the event that the other party did not have enough funds to buy the stadium, a long-term low-interest loan was offered to the club to tide over the difficulties.

Prodi is a well-known economist in Europe, and it took him a long time to come up with such a method, intending to indirectly increase the social purchasing power of Italy through guΓ², a method of national macroeconomic control, and then affect the operation of the entire national economy.

However, this incentive only applies to clubs that want to buy an existing stadium, and if they want to build a new stadium, they will need to find their own way to raise funds.

After all, unlike buying an existing stadium, building a new stadium can be quite expensive, and Prodi's purpose is only to promote consumption, not to print money to cause hyperinflation in the country.

Zhuang Mingge expressed his complete agreement with Prodi's idea, in his opinion, although the hardware facilities of the home stadiums of Italian teams are somewhat backward, but the backward Cheng dΓΉ is quite limited, after all, just seven years ago, many of these stadiums also hosted World Cup matches.

Therefore, clubs can invest in the acquisition of existing stadiums and carry out certain modifications to meet the current needs, and there is no need to rush to build new stadiums.
