170 Belgium
After seeing the scenery of Figer, Rist suddenly felt a sense of urgency. Now I am laying the foundation step by step, when will I be able to have such a power as Figer. Rist was really envious.
However, Rist knew that he and Figel could not be compared. After all, Figer has been involved in South American football for more than 30 years, and his connections are unmatched in the entire 30 years of operation. After all, Figer once helped Pele and once represented Maradona. This qualification alone is unmatched in Shijie football.
Figer now not only has a good relationship with those giants in Europe, but also the Shijie Football Federation has to give him enough face. And Rist has just set foot in the broker industry, and he still needs to keep accumulating to be able to reach the heights of Figer.
Rist was not discouraged, because Rist believed that ten years from now, he would be able to have the power of Figer. Even Rist believes that ten years later, he can completely wrestle with Figer in Shijie football circles, and even suppress him in European football. Deportivo Riste didn't take part in the next move, because Rister knew he had to work harder.
Rist returned to France again, not to watch the Shijie Cup match, but to deal with Drogba's problem. Drogba is already twenty years old, and it would be a waste of his career to stay at Le Mans for a year or two. Although Rist has not yet thought of how to arrange him. But first holding him in your hands is a must.
Things are simpler for Drogba. For Le Mans, it is the same with or without a player like Drogba. Drogba was last year. He joined Le Mans at the age of nineteen. However, he failed to play a senior game in a single season last season. Even this season, there is no place for Drogba in the first team of Le Mans.
So when Rist offered to buy Drogba, Le Mans didn't stop him. And France also had a lot of colonies in Africa back then, so now France has a lot of players from Africa. There are a lot of black players, and there are a lot of players with questionable ownership. Therefore, Le Mans did not feel any surprise that an agent like Rist wanted to buy Drogba.
With 150,000 US dollars, Drogba's worth is not too cheap. Rist bought Drogba for $150,000 and then signed a player contract with Drogba's uncle. Rist gave Drogba $30,000 and officially signed a four-year contract. With this, Drogba became a player for Rist's agency. Drogba's ownership of Lister was also obtained.
"Didier, I haven't helped you find the best club right now. But you don't have to worry about next season. I'll definitely find you the best league for you. Actually, find a club where you can play. It was a breeze for me. But I'm going to think about it and think about the best league for you. ”
After signing the contract, Rist patted Drogba on the shoulder. In fact, finding a club for Drogba to play in is very easy for Rist now. Like the Czech league, the Slovak league, and even the Dutch league. It's all easy for Rist. But Rist has a lot to think about. It is necessary to give Drogba the most haode environment for him to grow.
"Mr. Czerny. Where do you think Didier should play right now? ”
Drogba was twenty years old, but he didn't speak. but his uncle Michelle. Goba spoke. Michelle. Goba knew that Drogba's future had been handed over to Rist, so he wanted to know what Rister had done for Drogba.
'What Didier needs now is a game. I'm interested in getting him in some minor leagues. For example, the Czech League, the Belgian League, and the Swiss League are the first to play. Then I went back to the Eredivisie, Ligue 1 and other leagues to train. Zuihou jumped to Serie A, La Liga, Premier League, Bundesliga, these leagues. ”
Although Rist doesn't have a complete jihua for Drogba, he still has a general jihua.
"Mr. Goba, don't worry. I'm wasting so much energy, it's not going to waste my money. I'll find the best club for Didier in a short time. ”
Just as Lister had just finished with Drogba, he received a call from Hanush. gave Rist the long-awaited news.
'Lister, there's been a problem with a Belgian club recently and they don't look like they can fix the hole in a short period of time.
Hanusz has always been following Belgian football. Because in European football, the Belgian league has the least restrictions on foreign players. So much so that some Belgian clubs will even have all foreign players.
Of course, this is also the case in England. It's like Chelsea and Arsenal have sent all foreign players. However, Belgium is different from the Premier League, the Premier League has a labor certificate, and the foreign players who can play in the Premier League are relatively good. But Belgium does not have such a rule. In other words, as long as the club wants to, even those garbage players can appear in the Belgian league at will.
Therefore, Lister has been keeping an eye on the Belgian league. Hanusz has been eyeing the Belgian league. Looks like it's finally working.
"Which club?"
"Mechelen FC."
"Mechelen?"
Rist has done some research on the Belgian league. Although Mechelen cannot compare with Belgian giants such as Anderlecht and Club Brugge, it is also a traditional powerhouse in Belgium. It's a good team in the Belgian league, but I didn't expect it to be this club. Moreover, Mechelen was historically occupied by France and the Dutch in turn, although the French occupied it for a longer time. The language here is mixed, with both French and Dutch being spoken.
So Rist hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Recently, the Mechelen club had a debt problem, and a debt of $1.4 million was coming due. However, their club could not come up with the money, and Franken, the majority shareholder of Mechelen, was unwilling to bear the money. If their board of directors is not responsible for the money, the Mechelen club simply cannot afford to solve this problem. Then Mechelen FC was directly sent to the second division because of this problem. ”
"Have you been in contact with their club?"
"Well, I spoke to Mr. Francon, and he meant it very simply. He had wanted to withdraw from the Mechelen club for a long time, and now he was reluctant to give up the money. Therefore, he was willing to transfer his shares to us for $800,000. Franconia owns 63 percent of the shares, and if we take his shares, the club will be almost ours. ”
Sixty-three percent, $800,000 is not expensive at all. Although the price of Belgian clubs is very low, Mechelen Club is also a traditional strong team in Belgium. Even if the price of their club is not eight million dollars, it should be no problem to think about five or six million dollars. But now that the Mechelen club is in debt crisis, it will be so cheap.
"How much debt does their club have?"
"I've found out that they have about a million dollars in debt in addition to the $1.4 million debt that is the most urgent right now."
Rist didn't hesitate and said directly: "Yes." David, you are in contact with their majority shareholder. Of course, if those minority shareholders are willing to sell their shares, we will all have them. ”
Although there is no specific number, Rist can roughly tell. In other words, it will cost $1.3 or 4 million to win the Mechelen Club, plus about $2.5 million in burden, that is, a total of about $4 million. It's a good deal, and there's nothing more cost-effective than taking a Belgian club for around $4 million.
"But, Lister. You know, our company can't come up with the money right now, and their shareholders are asking for cash. ”
Oh, yes. If nothing else, there are about $3 million to be prepared right now. And in addition to the initial three million dollars, the club will definitely need money to operate. Riester believes that the current situation of the Mechelen club must be that there is no money, and Lister still needs to invest some money in the early stage. In this way, in addition to the three million dollars, it is necessary to prepare more than one million dollars to cover the club's expenses. For Lister, the money was not easy to come up with. Because now Rist doesn't have that much money.
Loan? In the case of Lister, it is relatively easy to get a loan in the Czech Republic. However, it is difficult for Rist to lend so much money alone, and he may need his father's help. For Lister, he is now independent and does not want to ask for a family anymore. Therefore, Lister did not want to take out a loan unless he had to, and thought about where else he could raise money.
Pobosky's contract? Should be able to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you can get some money by playing a few players, it will be difficult to raise three million dollars. At this time, Rist remembered Figer, this old bastard had millions of dollars in income from a random transaction, but Rist had never made such a deal. It's not easy to make three million dollars on commissions alone.
The most likely way to raise this money is to sell players. Who to sell? After thinking about it, Rist slowly smiled. It seems that I should talk to him, and if the sale goes well, then Rist should not have any problems raising three million dollars this time.
"David, don't worry. I've already figured out how to raise this money, wait for me for a while. ”
Rist slowly figured out some ideas. If two years ago it would have been difficult for Rist to prepare three million to four million dollars, but now it would have been difficult for Rist to prepare three or four million, but it is not impossible.
"Okay, I'll keep in touch with them." (To be continued......)
