After saying goodbye to his "father" on the phone, he gently put down the phone, took a deep breath, soothed his depressed mood, and said with a wry smile to Karin, who looked worried on the side: "It seems that we are really going to lose Iuliano and Pexoto this summer." ”

"What then? With the current form of the team, Fiorentina will have a Serie A next season is a sure thing, and if we lose half of our defence, we will repeat the mistakes of last season. ”

Although Karin knew through Zhuang Mingge's previous words and expressions that it was probably not a good thing, she did not expect the club to lose two defenders at once.

"No way, Karin, you go and call Giancarlo [Antonioni] about this first, so that he can get a shortlist of candidates who can move to Fiorentina next season as soon as possible." Zhuang Mingge rubbed his furrowed brows, trying to relieve the pressure on himself from Moji's conspiracy.

"Also, tell Moggie that old fox, $6 million, to be paid in one lump sum, and tell him that we in Florence will never accept the terms of installments, and if he wants to talk to me, you tell him that I'm busy and ask him to come back tomorrow."

"Haode, I've made a note of everything, I'll go and inform General Manager Antonioni and Moji now." With that, Karin left the office, the single ponytail tied behind her head flicked around with her pace, matching the women's suit Karin was wearing today, adding a touch of liveliness to her slightly serious appearance.

But Zhuang Mingge was not in the mood to appreciate this wonderful scene at this time, and now all his brain cells were used to deal with how to maximize the interests of Florence in this incident.

After learning the news, Antonioni did not rush to the office to question Zhuang Mingge, but ordered the scouting department to sort out two documents as quickly as possible: one with the names of all the players who could move to Fiorentina in the summer and their brief introductions, and the other with the information of all the players in the Juventus team.

"Oh, you who know me, Antonioni." Zhuang Mingge casually said a word in Chinese, which made the sweaty monk Antonioni Zhanger puzzled: Which country's language did the boss speak just now, and the pronunciation is so strange.

Zhuang Mingge first looked through the list of Juventus players and began to look for those future stars who exist in his "memory".

There was silence in the office, except for the breathing of Zhuang Mingge and Antonioni and the sound of Zhuang Mingge turning the paper.

An hour later, Zhuang Mingge, who had finally read all the information, gave Antonioni a brief list of the names of some players and the clubs they currently play for, and told him to make some contact with these clubs to see the possibility of bringing them in before making a final decision.

Wrote Juventus' player profile on another piece of paper and received it in the drawer of his desk, and after doing all this work, Zhuang Mingge stretched his waist greatly:

"Everything is ready, now it's just tomorrow, hehe, Mr. Moggie, since you are unkind first, don't blame me for being unjust."

Sure enough, provoked the traverser, Juventus, do you still want to have a good life?

************

Early the next morning, Moji was guided by Karin to Zhuang Mingge's office.

"Hello, Chairman Corleone. I'm the new general manager of Juventus, Luciano Moggi. ”

"I don't think it's good for me to greet someone who is deliberately ruining Florence." Zhuang Mingge made a look of no anger, and his tone also seemed very impatient.

"Hehe, I'm just a small club manager, how can I ruin Florence, which is controlled by the Corleone family, Mr. President, you really lift me up." Moggi smirked twice, took the initiative to avoid the fact that he had "yin" Florence, and went directly to the topic, "I came to Florence this time, mainly to determine the amount of transfer fees for your Pesoto and Iuliano with Mr. President. ”

"I remember saying very clearly on the phone yesterday, $6 million, a lump sum payment." Zhuang Mingge clasped his hands on his chest and leaned on the boss's chair without any image.

"Chairman Corleone, I think you also know that $6 million is not a small amount, and to be honest, our chairman Giraoudo has always asked Juventus to maintain a balance in finances, and the $6 million transfer spend is likely to make that goal go up the drain." Moggie rested his arms on the table and looked helpless, but the fox-like eyes shone brightly.

"Manager Moggie, you should know that the Corleone family only agreed to Umberto (Agnelli)'s request to sell Pesoto and Iuliano, but did not reach any agreement on the transfer fee." Zhuang Mingge also straightened up, saw his hands on the table, and launched a counterattack, "6 million US dollars, Juventus can afford this money, anyone knows that Fiorentina did not make any difficulties for Juventus in terms of transfer fees, if this transfer is not achieved in the end, then the culprit will definitely not be me." ”

"Well, since Fiorentina does not accept installment payments, we at Juventus are willing to add a few young players that Fiorentina are interested in to offset part of the transfer fee in order to show our sincerity, I wonder what Mr. Corleone thinks?" As soon as Moggi saw that the trick of using the banner of the Agnelli family was not working, he immediately changed his approach, trying to reduce some of the transfer fees with several useless players of Juventus, and by the way, he could also cut his club's salary budget.

"Great, I'm interested in Juventus' young striker Del Piero, why don't you use him to offset the $2 million fee, so that Juventus only have to shell out $4 million in cash, Mr. Moggie, what do you think of that?" As soon as he heard the other party say this, Zhuang Mingge clapped his hands and pretended to be happy.

"Uh...... I'm afraid it won't work, Piero is a player that our big boss (Gianni Agnelli) has named to focus on, and if I sell him to Fiorentina, I'm afraid I'll be fired when I go back. As soon as Mo Ji heard Zhuang Mingge's answer, he knew that something bad was wrong, the Florentine side was obviously prepared, this young man was obviously not affected by his own Jihua, and his thinking was very clear.

Even a young player like Piero, who is not well-known, has noticed that he is really a terrible opponent, and Moggi gave Zhuang Mingge such a definition in his heart.

"Since Piero can't be, then Manager Moggie, which Juventus players are you going to use to offset part of the transfer fee? Is it Robert Baggio, or is it Vialli? ”

"Uh, this, please let me think about it......"

Moggi carefully thought back to the young players in the Juventus team, and to be honest, Moggi felt that there were really no good seedlings in Juve's youth team except for the big boss to watch Haode Piero.

In fact, looking down on young players is a common problem for Moggie, and during his tenure as Juventus general manager, the only local youth players who have established themselves in the Juventus first team are Taccinadi and Piero, and almost all other good seedlings have become famous outside. Although Juventus is known for the large number of local players in the team, most of these players are bought by Juventus after making a name for themselves outside, such as the introduction of Italian international Gianluigi Buffon in 2001, and the purchase of the Serie A Golden Boot Inzaghi in the summer of 97......

"So, apart from Piero, Fiorentina can choose any Juventus players under the age of 20, and I agree to use their transfer fees to offset a part of the dollars that Juventus will have to pay."

"Good! Deal! Zhuang Mingge motioned for Karin to write this condition into a legally binding written statement, and took the lead in writing his name on this statement, "However, just in case, I still hope that this condition can be implemented on paper first." ”

"Hehe, Chairman Corleone, you're really careful." Mo Ji didn't think too much about it, took the pen and paper, and signed his name on the statement with two brushes, and then handed it back to Zhuang Mingge.

"Be careful to sail the Ten Thousand Year Ship, especially against an opponent like you, Manager Moji." Zhuang Mingge replied, then took out a list from the desk drawer, and then screened the eligible players one by one according to the names on the list, and listed the eligible players on another blank paper, "The players on this paper are all scouts of our club, Fiorentina hopes to take this opportunity to bring them in, as for the price, I think, we have enough time to negotiate slowly." ”

Moggi suspiciously took the paper from Zhuang Ming's singer and carefully looked at the Juventus players mentioned above, although he was not impressed by these players, but this did not prevent Moggi from using these young people to bargain: "Since Chairman Corleone values these young people so much, how much transfer fee does Fiorentina plan to pay for them?" ”

Zhuang Mingge stretched out two fingers and gestured in front of Mo Ji's eyes.

"Two million dollars? No, no, no, Chairman Corleone, these players are young people that our club looks up to, and two million is too cheap. ”

"And what kind of price does Mr. Moggie plan to offer these people?"

"I think that the young players selected by Fiorentina are even more valuable than Pesoto and Iuliano in terms of total value, but Juventus is willing to exchange these players directly for your two main players in order to show their sincerity."

The vicious Moji is really a good calculation! Zhuang Mingge still had a smile on his face, but he scolded in his heart: Are you the boss of me? Brain-dead enough to exchange Cannavaro for a substitute goalkeeper who can't play, although a few of these people do have the ability of top stars, but from the current point of view, if Zhuang Mingge really agrees to Moji, he himself will definitely be attacked by many fans of "brick beasts" and purple lily.

"That doesn't work, our club still needs this cash to fill the void left by the departure of Pesoto and Iuliano...... Why don't you ask Manager Moggie to mark a specific value for these players, and then we can choose according to their price? ”

This is a fair and honest conspiracy, Moggie has been too full of words before, and at the same time has signed his name on the statement, it is impossible to suddenly regret it, so Moggie Old Fox has to honestly mark the value of the 10 players on this list, and to make up the total of $6 million.

Since he had just returned to Juventus, Moggi was not very familiar with the players of his youth team, so he had to spread the transfer fee evenly among these players and then fine-tune them according to their positions on the field.

Zhuang Mingge glanced at the list of "clearly marked prices", hooked the corners of his mouth, and quickly "selected" several players on the list.

Mo Ji was a little dumbfounded when he saw Zhuang Mingge's choice, this young man was obviously choosing a bargain!
