In fact, regarding Drogba, Rist has long been in contact with the Chinese football world. Anelka's joining Shenhua is a sensation in Chinese football. A lot of fans on the web love Anelka.

But Drogba's achievements far surpassed Anelka's. Although Anelka became famous at a young age, he played the main role at Arsenal at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Later, he played in Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Chelsea, but in terms of career achievements, Anelka is not as good as Drogba. In his seven seasons at Chelsea, Drogba scored more than 150 goals for Chelsea. The pinnacle of his season was a season in which he scored 36 goals for Chelsea in all competitions.

And not to mention at Chelsea, he was a famous scorer in the Eredivisie when he was at PSV Eindhoven. His formidable physical strength is completely crushing in the Eredivisie, and no defender can stop it. At that time, Drogba performed well in PSV Eindhoven, both in the Eredivisie and in the Champions League. Otherwise, he would not have been brought in by Chelsea.

Therefore, when Rist contacted the Chinese football world and was ready to sell Drogba, the clubs that contacted Rister were not one or two. In the current Chinese football world, there are not one or two who have the ability to introduce Drogba. These clubs in China are now rich and rich.

Like Dalian Albin, which has just been upgraded, as well as Jiangsu Shuntian, as well as Guangzhou R&F and Guangzhou Evergrande, they are all capable of introducing Drogba. Of course, Beijing Guoan and Shandong Luneng clubs are even more rich to introduce. So Lister is in contact with them to see which club can give him the best interest.

"Luo Dong, why bother to go there in person."

"It's a show of sincerity."

After Rist rejected Shenhua. In London, it was to host a heavyweight in Chinese football. Luo Ning, chairman of Beijing Guoan. This is not an ordinary person, it should be said that Beijing Guoan is really powerful as the backstage of the capital team.

Guoan itself is a very powerful enterprise, and it is a large company with assets of tens of billions. And the group behind Guoan is even more powerful, and that is the powerful CITIC Group Company. CITIC Group is a very well-known enterprise in the history of China's reform and opening up, and is a trust and investment company established by the Rong family in accordance with the intention of the chief designer at the beginning of the reform and opening up.

At present, CITIC has a huge scale of assets, with total assets of 3.5 trillion yuan, net assets of more than 200 billion yuan, annual operating income of more than 300 billion yuan, and net profit of more than 30 billion yuan.

It can be said that among China's state-owned enterprises, CITIC Group is definitely a giant existence. It is precisely because of the backing of such a group. That's why national security can be so bullish.

"You may be seated."

Luo Ning came over in person. Rist was also slightly surprised. As a senior executive of a state-owned company, Luo Ning has an administrative level in China, and the level is not low. However, Rist was happy, because the national security was obviously very much in line with Rist's requirements.

Guoan wants money and money. Or a team from the Chinese capital. The important thing is that the Guoan Group is also good. CITIC Group is also good. They are all companies with big backgrounds. They are also expanding their markets in Africa and should be interested in Côte d'Ivoire. Côte d'Ivoire also has a lot to offer Chinese companies. For example, Côte d'Ivoire is the world's most famous producer of cocoa, coffee, and oil. In addition, the recent development of the information industry in Côte d'Ivoire has also been very fast.

At present, more than 60 percent of the information industry in Côte d'Ivoire is the Chinese enterprise Huawei. However, in the past two years, there has been a civil war in Côte d'Ivoire. Huawei's orders are also falling sharply. Now that Ivorian politics have begun to stabilize, many Chinese companies are ready to regain control of the Ivorian market.

"Riester, how's it going. Drogba's matter, our national security has taken it. ”

Rist and Ronin knew each other. At present, the top management of Chinese football clubs, Rist basically knows each other. Since Rist is ready to cooperate with China, he will do his best.

"Luo Dong, can you agree to all my requests?"

"Of course. Rist, you should know the strength of our national security. There is nothing wrong with your request. ”

Ronin wasn't talking big words. Evergrande is very strong, Evergrande is very rich. But it is not as good as Guoan, and it is not as good as the CITIC Group behind Guoan. Because this is Beijing, behind the national security is a real state-owned enterprise.

"Luo Dong, in addition to the player's contract, Drogba went to China with a lot of other things. The Ivorian side hopes that through Drogba's transfer to the Chinese league, it can attract some Chinese companies to Côte d'Ivoire. He even hopes that with Drogba, he can strengthen his relationship with the Chinese government. ”

That's the biggest add-on. Don't underestimate a player, in China footballers don't have such ability, and football hasn't reached that high. However, Côte d'Ivoire, like Côte d'Ivoire, has had a bad economy in recent years, and the impact of the civil war has left the whole country in ruins. The poorer they are, the more they hope for something. That's how football is.

Football in Côte d'Ivoire is very popular in its own right, and it is very popular. And Drogba, as the first star of Ivory Coast, has a very high reputation in Ivory Coast. In addition, Drogba made money, not only built five hospitals, but also supported the construction of many schools. Therefore, Drogba is really famous in Côte d'Ivoire, otherwise the Ivorian government would not want to make Drogba a messenger of peace. If Drogba were to return to Côte d'Ivoire now and run for a seat in one of the legislatures, it would be a breeze.

"Of course. We, for our part, in China, also want to build closer relations with Côte d'Ivoire. ”

Côte d'Ivoire has a need for Chinese capital, and China is not the same. Although Africa cannot be said to be China's backyard, politically and economically, Africa is a very important place in China's strategy. Côte d'Ivoire is a traditional French power, and if China can strengthen its relations with Côte d'Ivoire, it will be a big step forward in North Africa, where the traditional French power is strong. Luo Ning and Guoan saw this, so they contacted Lister so actively.

"Okay."

"Coach Boas, you've lost five games in two months."

Rist is still in a very good mood to meet people for Drogba's business. But at this time, Boas was reprimanded by the Chelsea hierarchy. The president of Chelsea FC, the CEO of Chelsea, the secretary general of Chelsea, all sat there, all with gloomy faces.

It's because Chelsea are so bad at the moment. Originally, the season started with a pretty good Chelsea result. However, after months of consecutive defeats, Chelsea are now in a plummeting position. The best results are currently the two teams in Manchester, with Manchester United and Manchester City having the best results and the favourites to win the Premier League this season. Then there is Liverpool, Simeone's Liverpool, which is one or two games away from Manchester United and Manchester City. It's just that in everyone's eyes, Simeone is too young, and Liverpool has no Premier League champion in history, so he just looks down on Liverpool. Next up are Arsenal and Tottenham.

Chelsea, one of the best teams in the Premier League in recent years, are now not even as good as Arsenal and Tottenham. The Chelsea hierarchy could not have been satisfied with Villas-Boas's performance. Based on current results, Chelsea will not even be able to qualify for the Champions League next season.

"It'll be fine soon."

Boas was also expressionless. Although Boas has low emotional intelligence, it does not mean that he is an idiot. When I talked to him before, it was Abramovich who talked to him in person every time.

Chelsea have had poor results in these games, and Abramovich should be there even more at this time. However, among the Chelsea hierarchy who spoke to him today, there was no Roman Abramovich. This made Boas already feel that something was wrong.

"Huh. Coach Boas, you've said this many times this month. ”

Chelsea CEO Gulray was directly sarcastic about Villas-Boas. Because of the poor results in the past two months, the Chelsea hierarchy have met with Villas-Boas frequently. Even Gulray had already told Villas-Boas some time ago not to treat the veteran players like this. But Boas went his own way and didn't give Gurray face.

It's just that Gurray is mainly in charge of the business side, so it hasn't been very good. But Gurray was on fire in his heart. Villas-Boas relied on his youth, relying on Abramovich to like him and trust him, and did not take himself as the CEO of the club in his eyes at all. At that time, Gurray endured, but now seeing that Boas's results are getting worse and worse, and Abramovich's patience is slowly disappearing, Gurray begins to sarcastically mock Boas.

'My tactics at Chelsea have almost worked.

Boas replied to Gulray's words with a blank face. Among the Chelsea hierarchy, Villas-Boas looked down on Gulray the most. Gulray became Chelsea's CEO, but he didn't see any development in Chelsea's commercial development. Compared to Kenyon's time, Chelsea's commercial development in Gulray's hands has not been as good as Arsenal and Liverpool. And you're a commercial developer, you know a fart football tactics.

"Coach Boas, whether it is successful or not depends on the results. Don't think Chelsea's job is easy. ”

Seeing that Boas was still bullish, Gurray replied with a sneer. Gurray knew that Abramovich was running out of patience with Boas. If Villas-Boas's results continue to be so poor, his Chelsea coaching career will be over.

"I know."

"Coach Boas, I have to give you one last reminder. Whether it's Frank or Didier, they're all heroes for us at Chelsea, they're treasures for us at Chelsea, and I hope you can cherish them. ”

'I think Mr. Gurray should understand that I'm the Chelsea manager.'

Boas's temper was not so good, and he immediately turned back to Gurray. Hearing Boas's words, Gurray nodded with a smile and said, "Good, good." ”

Gurray didn't continue to talk to Boas, he had come today to warn him anyway. So he immediately left Boas's office with someone. (To be continued......)
