485 Refreshing Hobrachin
The Champions League quarter-finals continued as Rist and Chelsea talked about Drogba and Petr Cech's contracts. Milan beat Villarreal 2-1 over two legs to reach the semi-finals, Liverpool beat Juventus 2-1 over two legs and Chelsea beat Bayern Munich 6-5 on aggregate.
By this time, the list of Champions League semi-finalists was all out. Liverpool, Chelsea, Milan, PSV Eindhoven. Speaking of these games, the most exciting of these matches is the match between Chelsea and Bayern Munich, led by Jose Mourinho, it can be said that Chelsea and Bayern played a vigorous quarter-final. Jose Mourinho's Chelsea have been doing quite well in the Champions League.
Of course, there are many topics that have been raised. The match with Barcelona was so uproarious that even the referee who officiated the game hung up his seal. And the same goes for Bayern Munich. 4-2 at home, playing the Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich in a daze. If it weren't for Ballack's penalty at the last minute, Bayern Munich would not have been in the mood for the second leg.
With the exception of Chelsea, the other games were much less watched. Especially in another big matchup, especially the match between Liverpool and Juventus. A lot of people say Jose Mourinho's game is ugly, but Benitez's game is just as ugly. Especially against opponents like Juventus and Chelsea, Benitez can play the most ugly.
Capello and Benitez are really going to meet good people, and it should be said that the two are like-minded. The game was extremely frustrating, but Capello was still a little old. Benitez completely smothered Juventus alive with Capello's methods. Especially when they challenged Juventus away from home, Juventus as a whole had no chance at all, and the final score was 0-0. Benitez told Capello what it means to be better than blue.
Liverpool and Chelsea have reached the last four of the Champions League for the second season in a row, and the Premier League has slowly begun to become a powerhouse in European football.
"Kia, I heard you've bought the Corinthians club. I should be very busy now, how can I have time to come to Europe. ”
In the past two days, Rist has been following the Champions League games while continuing negotiations with Chelsea. However, because the contract offered by Chelsea is very lucrative, Rister is not too pretentious. Chelsea are sincere and Rister is reluctant to allow himself to be an insatiable agent.
Soon a new contract was signed. Drogba not only received a £1.3 million signing fee from the club, but also a £100,000-a-week salary. Large, four-year contracts. Petr Cech was awarded a £1 million signing fee and a £90,000-a-week five-year contract.
These two contracts are the best of any of Rist's players. Even the contracts of players such as Nedved, Rosicky, Torres and Villa cannot be compared to them.
After such a large contract was signed, Rist's income also increased a lot. Previously, Rist's annual share of their salary and bonuses was more than 600,000 euros, but after signing this contract, Rist's annual share exceeded 1 million euros. When the salaries in European football continue to rise, Rist's share of the players' salaries will be higher and higher.
Rister now receives more than 10 million euros a year from his players' salary shares, and when an upstart like Chelsea raises his players' salaries, it is not a big problem for Rister to get more than 20 million euros a year from his players' salaries.
Just after Lister and Chelsea had just finished their contract talks, they received a call from Hobrachin, whom he had met in Brazil. Hobrachin traveled to Europe and found Rister.
"It's busy."
It's only been a few months. Hobrachin's face was very ugly. Because Abramovich, who had always supported him before, fell out with Berezovsky. I just fell out some time ago. Berezovsky took Abramovich to court just over two months ago. It is believed that Abramovich swallowed his shares in the Siberian Oil Company and demanded that Abramovich return the money. This amount amounted to 5 billion euros, which is not a small amount, almost half of Abramovich's assets.
With this thing coming out. Berezovsky and Abramovich fought. They fought, which made Hobrachin very uncomfortable. Compared to oligarchs like Berezovsky and Abramovich, Khobrachin is neither. The problem is that both of them are their own bosses, and both of them have shares in his SMI company.
As the CEO of SMI, Hobrachin also had to choose a person. His choice was simple: although Abramovich had 11 percent of the shares in his company, most of the shares belonged to Berezovsky. After all, Berezovsky was Abramovich's boss back then. Khobrachin chose Berezovsky.
Abramovich is now angry. At the time, SMI was backed in the hope that it would become Chelsea's base in South America, but the company is now turning to Berezovsky. He has only 11 percent of the shares and cannot decide the future direction of SMI.
"I've heard that. You're going to bring both Tevez and Mascherano to Brazil. ”
Rist's news is still relatively fast. It didn't take long for Hobrachin to enter Corinthians. Tevez and Mascherano came to Brazil. And their transfer fee is still high, Tevez has a transfer fee of more than $15 million, and Mascherano's transfer fee has also reached $12 million.
This is a very abnormal transfer fee. If you add in some other expenses, such as agent commissions, player signing fees, etc., it almost cost about $40 million to sign the two of them. But the two of them were originally owned by SMI. Hobrachin tossed left and right, and no one would believe it if there was no cat in it.
Money laundering, that's it. Inflated transfer fees, inflated broker commissions, inflated signing fees, etc., can all wash tens of millions of money at one time. And that's not the end of it, they're selling the players a year or two later, and they're going to be able to launder a lot of money. While selling players, you continue to buy players. It doesn't take a few years to be able to launder hundreds of millions of dollars.
"Yes. I'm going to make Corinthians the strongest club in Brazil in a year or two. ”
Hobrachin is rich, it should be said that the boss behind him is rich. And he has to keep buying players in the transfer market, and the more he buys, the better, and the more money he spends, the better. In this way, we can continue to launder money with high transfer fees and some other fees that are inflated. Carlos Tevez and Mascherano are just the beginning, with Hobrachin aiming to bring in six or seven players this summer, all of whom are some of the biggest names in South American football.
Money laundering also requires technology. You can't just buy a player and spend tens of millions of euros on a nobody, so that anyone can see that this is money laundering. If you want to buy, you have to buy some good players, so it is also said that the transfer fee is a little higher.
"Whether it's Europe or South America. As long as you have money, you can do anything. ”
"Lister, I've come to you today for this too."
"Me, what's the matter?"
Rist, of course, understands that Hobrachin is now the busiest. If there is no matter, how can you come to yourself specifically. It's just that Rist hasn't understood what Hobrachin means yet.
"Matthias of the Colo Colo club. Fernandez. ”
"Corinthians want to bring him in?"
"Yes."
Rist was overjoyed. Damn, it's been quite a few years since I invested in the Colo Colo Club. I have only been able to invest money, and I have never made any profits. Rist is not a billionaire like Roman Abramovich, and with his current net worth, it will be difficult to maintain the Kolo Colo club. Now it's finally time to see the revenue.
Mathias. Fernández, who is now 19 years old, has been playing in the Chilean league for Colo Colo since he was 17 years old, and has scored 15 league goals for Colo Colo in two consecutive years. Mathias. Fernandes is not a striker. He is a midfielder. At the age of nineteen, he is currently the most famous player in the Chilean league. He is a talented player recognized by South American football.
"Kia. You probably know. The Colo Colo club was invested by me with Tottenham, and it has half of my shares in it, as well as Joe. Half of Lewis's shares. This transfer also needs to be discussed with Tottenham. ”
"Lister, I like to be fast. Fixed price. Corinthians gave 12 million dollars. We won't be stingy with your commissions. Tottenham you go and convince, I only hope to see Fernandes in Corinthians this summer. ”
"Refreshing."
Rist couldn't help but praise Hobrachin. When have I seen such a bold buyer for so many years, the opening is 12 million dollars. Rist has been in business for so many years, but lately he feels like he's been in luck. Chelsea offered a pay rise to Rist's players, and Hobrachin even bought without blinking.
Rist loves nouveau riche. If football is dead and the giants set the rules of the game, then there is not much room for agents and predators like Rister to play. European football needs Chelsea, Corinthians, and in the future, there are upstarts such as Manchester City, Napoli, and Paris Saint-Germain. With a broker like them Lister, there is more room for operation and more income.
Mathias. Although Fernandez is the biggest talent in Chilean football at the moment, even if he transfers to European football, it is unlikely to exceed 10 million euros.
Rist knew that once the transfer was agreed, then Hobrachin would be very high on the broker's commission. Rist himself will be able to get about a million dollars, but they will definitely write about three million dollars on the books. And they'll want Rist to help them hide it. Anyway, agent commissions are a secret in football. Everyone kept him secret.
Light Matthias. The transfer of one of Fernandez's players is estimated to have cost Corinthians about $17,800 on their books. Although in reality it was less than 134 million dollars.
"Kia, not bad, not bad. I like to do business with cheerful people, and this is a good deal for me. ”
Rist didn't care about Corinthians, or whether Hobrachin was money laundered. Rist only knows that this transfer is not a star-and-a-half. In the future, even if Hobrachin is arrested for money laundering, or if something happens, it is none of Lister's business. And even if Corinthians are destroyed, Rist can also bring out his own players.
"Lister, I know your Colo Colo club is not just a Matthias. Fernandez. That Arturo. Vidal is not bad either. I hope we can continue to work together in the future. ”
Fernández is the biggest talent in all of Chile, but there is no shortage of talent in Chile. Just like Vidal, and Sanchez, who has just played in the Chilean league, are rare talents in Chile. Vidal and Sanchez became famous in the past two years. If he could continue to work with Hobrachin, Rist would certainly be willing.
However, Rist is not optimistic about the future of Hobrachin and Corinthians. Since they chose Berezovsky, they will rise and fall with the change in Berezovsky's strength. Berezovsky's future has always been downhill, and it is estimated that there will be two or three years of glory, after which it will all be downhill. Then the glory of Corinthians will be over. But it's good to make some money beforehand.
"Kia, feel free to find me. Good players I am always available. ”
