"Chairman Corleone, it's an honor to see you again! Welcome to Amsterdam! ”

"Chairman Van Praag, it's been a long time."

At the exit of Amsterdam International Airport, Zhuang Mingge greeted Van Praag who came to pick him up, this guy can now be regarded as his old acquaintance, and listening to the well-informed little Grotz, this time Florence was able to participate in the boss summit, Van Praag contributed a lot in this, and he naturally wanted to show him more kindness.

By the way, Zhuang Mingge also made a joke that was not big or small, and said: "Hehe, let Chairman Van Praag wait for a long time, I hope I am not a participant who arrived in Zuihou, right?" ”

"Hehe......" Hearing Zhuang Mingge mention this topic, Van Praag smiled softly, but did not take the conversation, but changed the topic very naturally, "Chairman Corleone, regarding the three players you have loaned to us, after discussion by the Ajax board of directors, we intend to bid $6 million to buy Giuliano Gianniqueda and Eugenio Collini, as for Simeone Inzaghi, we want to get his loan rights of first refusal." ”

Van Praag, who was afraid that Zhuang Mingge would reject his offer, hurriedly added an additional condition: "Of course, we won't let you suffer too much...... In this way, Fiorentina can play at Ajax on loan three players every season, and each player will not play a total of less than 1,800 minutes; Also, there are some aspects such as player development and scouting systems that our two clubs can work together on a deeper level......"

Zhuang Mingge thought about it, and it was a little bit of a loss for Fiorentina to sell these two players at a price of $6 million purely from the perspective of economic interests, but the two additional conditions proposed by Van Praag made Zhuang Mingge's heart move, after all, Ajax's ability to cultivate stars is well known to the world, and the reason why the number of stars produced later decreased sharply was mainly because the overall competitiveness of the Dutch league fell sharply, resulting in many players being reluctant to play in the Netherlands, which has nothing to do with Ajax itself.

The three places for training at Ajax each year will not only allow some of the club's key young players to be jointly trained by the two systems, Guferen and Michels, but also help Fiorentina solve the employment problem of some players who cannot play. The cooperation in the field of scouting can be said to be a kind of mutual benefit, and now still relying on Zhuang Mingge's "discernment" of Fiorentina can make full use of Ajax's global scouting network under construction to find the players they need, or some good seedlings in the shy Ajax can not afford it, Fiorentina pays to buy it and then resell it to the Dutch to cultivate, when the player transfers away from Ajax, the profits are split in half......

"Chairman Van Praag, I am personally very interested in your proposal. Fiorentina accepted these two conditions in their entirety, and as for the details of the partnership between our two clubs, I would like to wait until after this meeting to discuss them, and if they can be agreed, you will only have to convince Eugenio and Giuliano to agree to join. The implication is that if Fiorentina and Ajax can agree on the terms of the partnership, then the transfers of Colini and Gianni Keda are basically a foregone conclusion. After all, Van Praag also privately inquired about the players' intentions before making the offer to Fiorentina, and received a promise to "agree to sign as long as the salary package and the status of the team are agreed".

Although Van Praag's action is suspected of violating UEFA's "no private contact with players" rule, it is understandable from the other side, after all, if he spends a lot of effort and time to get the club to which the player belongs, but he hits the nail in the player himself, then Ajax must not die of depression?

After receiving the "friendly signal" from Zhuang Mingge, Van Praag, who has been busy since taking up the post of president of Ajax FC, couldn't help but lift his spirits: it seems that his move to get closer to Fiorentinsara has had some effect, and the next step is to take advantage of this good momentum to make the relationship between the two clubs closer.

……

Riding in Van Praag's special car, Zhuang Mingge and his entourage came to the headquarters of Ajax, the venue of the boss summit.

After walking through the door, Van Praag said that he still needed to do some preparations for the meeting, so he left a senior assistant of his own to lead the way for Zhuang Mingge and his party, and hurriedly left.

By the way, this time when I came to Amsterdam, in addition to Karin, who regarded herself as a senior secretary, Gross Jr. and Ferrero Jr. also squeezed in in the name of "seeing the world".

So, Zhuang Mingge and his entourage walked in front of the conference room under the leadership of this senior assistant and walked in from the main entrance.

"Hey! Antonio, I've been waiting for you here for a long time, hurry up! As soon as he walked into the door of the conference room, a warm and familiar voice came into Zhuang Mingge's ears.

Zhuang Mingge looked at the source of the sound, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart: "It turned out to be Massimo, why did you arrive so early?" I remember the meeting started at one o'clock in the afternoon, right? ”

"You're sorry to say that you're the penultimate of all the people invited to today's meeting." Boss Mo enthusiastically put his arm around Zhuang Mingge's shoulders and dragged him to a small room next to the conference room, "Now that we, the owners of the Italian team, are chatting in this room, while there is still some time before the meeting starts, you come with me to talk to everyone first." ”

"Oh? Why is there a meeting so soon? Isn't there another one who didn't come? Zhuang Mingge, who was dragged away by Boss Mo, asked suspiciously.

Boss Mo glanced at Zhuang Mingge angrily, and added helplessly: "Zuihou, the one who came here is Mr. Van Praag, the chairman of the Ajax Club, who personally went to the airport to pick you up. ”

"Uh, hehe." Zhuang Mingge, who knew that he was wrong, had no choice but to perfunctory it with a smirk.

The number of Serie A owners in this room is much more than Zhuang Mingge imagined, originally he thought that the only Italian club owners invited to the meeting were the top three in the north and himself, but he didn't expect Sampdoria's owner Mantovani Jr. and the old Tanzi, who had retired from the position of chairman of Parma, also came.

I should have thought that since I was able to participate in this meeting as the president of Florence, others were naturally qualified to be pulled in by the bosses of other giants......
