"Mr. Chelny, you're much faster than I thought."

Dylan. Franconia looked at Rist with enthusiasm. Belgium is a relatively wealthy country in Europe, and it should be said that Belgium's per capita income can enter the top 20 within the range of shijie, which is much richer than the Czech Republic and Slovakia. As a buffer between France and the Netherlands, and historically ruled by France and the Netherlands, most of Belgium is spoken in French and Dutch. There is a great deal of antagonism between French and Dutch speakers. Even some of their political parties are divided into Francophonie and Dutch.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Rist. Belgians are rich, but Belgian football clubs are not very wealthy, and many clubs are even in debt. The operation of their club is very irregular.

A typical example is that Belgian law clearly stipulates that professional clubs across the country are obliged to pay a total of 250 million francs (about 5.84 million US dollars) of social security deposits to the state every year. This is required by national law. This amount of money is actually not a lot, even if it is placed in the Czech league, this amount of money is not a huge amount of money. Just a few Czech powerhouses were able to easily come up with this money. But in Belgian football it's different.

However, the Belgian club has not paid it on time, and the Belgian club currently owes nearly $6 million in social deposits. The Belgian government has been harshly criticised by these clubs who owe money and have relegated them to the third division if they do not pay them in time. But even then, few clubs have paid their social security deposits.

Not because they don't want to pay the money, but because their club is so poor. For Belgian clubs. Hundreds of thousands of dollars is a lot of money. The Belgian league has poor development and their income is too low. So a lot of football clubs are struggling to survive. Unless the boards of directors of those clubs are willing to pay for it, the clubs alone will not be able to come up with this money for their own development.

Dylan. Franconia is not the kind of rich man, but he is also worth tens of millions of dollars. However, since he invested in Mechelen, the club's situation has been getting worse and worse year by year, and the arrears are getting more and more year by year. By now, the Mechelen club's arrears have reached nearly three million dollars, which makes him quite angry.

Although he is the majority shareholder, he is not a fan of Mechelen. He wasn't obligated to help Mechelen pay off those debts, so he wanted to get out of it for a long time. It's just that in Belgium now, football clubs are a big hole. No one wants to take over such a debt-ridden club.

So when Hanush came into contact with him. He's very bold. He owned 63 percent of the shares, and he used more than $2 million to buy them that year. But now, in a hurry to get rid of it, he told Hanush that he could sell it for as little as $800,000.

I didn't expect to hear back to him so quickly, so quickly. In the Shijie Football Federation's regulations on brokers. Agents are not allowed to be officials of the Football Association, senior members of the club, etc. Of course, it is not possible to allow you to have your own club. But no one really cares about this stuff either. In Eastern Europe, many club executives rely on their strengths. Become the agent of the club's star players directly. Like Ibrahimovic and Luka Modric, their agent is the president or vice president of their club.

"Mr. Franconia, procrastination is not my style."

Dylan. Francony nodded. He had already made up his mind. So there was no hesitation, and soon a contract was signed. Dylan. Franconia sold all of his shares to Rist's brokerage. And in order to get these shares, Rist's brokerage company paid a price of 800,000 dollars.

However, Rist was not satisfied, and Rist wanted to take the rest of the shares. For Rist, having a board constraint is a very unpleasant thing. The best way to do this is, of course, to own all the shares. No one bothered you with anything, and you didn't have to look at other people's faces.

"Rist, do you know how to run a club?"

Although Hanusz helped Lister get rid of Mechelen, he still has some worries. It's not about selling players, it's about running a club seriously. In particular, Mechelen's status in Belgian football is not low. How to manage a club, none of them have experience.

"Running a club? Do you think I look like someone who can run a club? ”

Running a club, Rist had no experience at all. And the Lister bought the Mechelen club without any intention of running the club. Rist is ready to operate a tunnel, a player tunnel. From South America and Africa to Belgium, and then from Belgium to other leagues such a channel. Rist hopes to use Belgium to open up the player channel in South America and Africa, and also wants to lay out the surrounding area, and slowly operate the northern and eastern European places together.

"You mean we're not throwing money into it anymore?"

It's getting harder and harder for a club to survive if it doesn't invest money. Although the Belgian league is a little worse, it is impossible to succeed without investing money.

"We'll put in a few million more dollars, and then we'll stop investing. This club has a special introduction of players from South America and Africa, and their players are cheap. Just give them a few hundred dollars a month. The investment in the company is not high, and if we can beat a few of them, even if we play one or two, we can sell them at a high price and keep the club afloat. The two of us make the difference. ”

Hanush sighed a little as he listened to Lister's Jihua. He knew that if he continued to do what Rist did, the club would be almost ruined. If you're lucky enough to come across some of the best players from South America and Africa, the results could be good. But once their strength is not very good, then the Mechelen club without investment can only decline.

Even for Lister, the club was relegated, and it was still useful. Because when Rist finishes his player tunnel, even players from the Belgian second division will be able to sell. There will be no loss from Rist, but this club will lose a lot. Hanusz can guarantee that as long as Rist becomes the owner of this club, there will be no future for this club.

But soon Hanush shook his head, what did all this have to do with him. While there is some sympathy for the future of Mechelen's club, he is more concerned about his income. Because once South American and African players are brought in on a large scale, and then Belgium is sold as a springboard to other leagues, the profits are indeed very considerable.

"That's right, David. The rest of the shares are disposed of quickly. If any idiot doesn't take out the shares, you tell him. We're not going to keep throwing money into it. ”

"I see."

Hanush nodded. "By the way, what about the club's management?"

"Look at it and keep it. You can take care of this first, and I'm going to contact South America and Africa. Let's see what good players they have to bring two to our club. ”

After winning the club, it is much easier to do anything. However, for now, Rist is still short of money, although Rist has not thought about how to invest in this club, but he still needs to invest in the early stage. Rist wants to develop players at this club and then become a second-hand dealer. In this case, Lister can't treat this club casually, and Lister not only has to raise money, but also find a Haode manager.

…………

"Ricardo, how's it going?"

Rist immediately called his Brazilian partner, Ricardo. Like Belgian clubs, Rist has no interest in bringing in big Brazilian players or Brazilian talent. Of course, the Belgian league is not qualified to bring them in at all.

So Rist prepares some practical players. Brazilian players are the most practical and the cheapest. Rist wants to be able to bring in two or three cheap and easy players from Ricardo, and of course the salary is not too high.

"So-so."

In fact, Ricciardo's life is much better now, and Rister is not a player who has brought in him specifically. However, Rist used his connections to introduce a number of clubs in Eastern Europe. There are even two clubs featured in the Czech league. Ricciardo didn't do much business either, but he still sold a few players. Some of these players are their own players, and many of them are other people's players. These players are cheap, but they are still a good income for an agent like Ricciardo. Therefore, Ricardo is very grateful to Lister.

"Ricardo, I'm calling you this time because I have something to tell you. I just recently bought a First Division club in the Belgian league and hope to bring in one or two players from Brazil. If the quality of the players you give me this time is good, then we can work together for a long time. ”

Riist's words made Ricardo almost jump up with joy. Because some of the businesses he does these days are small, and they can't be smaller. But with Rist, it's not a small business. Riester has his own club in Belgium and there will not be one or two players to bring in at that time.

So Ricardo asked, "Lister, tell me what you want." ”

"Ricardo, the Belgian league doesn't need players at the level of Brazilian internationals and they can't come to the Belgian league. I want young players, but I'm not the kind of talent that is famous in Brazilian football. Players who are strong, young, and have some development prospects, of course, can't be too expensive. ”

This condition of Riester would be difficult to achieve in any other national league. Because how can there be young, powerful, and not yet famous players with so many conditions. But for a football kingdom like Brazil, which mass-produces talented players, these conditions are not difficult at all. And many clubs in Europe are doing this kind of business, buying South American players cheaply, and then selling them when they are famous.

Therefore, Ricardo did not feel burdened at all when he heard Lister's words, but said very happily: "Don't worry, Lister." I'll try to help you find the best player. (To be continued......)
