Chapter 100: Baggio's Transfer
"I didn't expect it to be like this." Zhuang Mingge smiled bitterly and shook hands with Mo Lao Fox, "I thought this game would be decided." ”
"yes, a draw is an unpleasant outcome for both of us." Mo Lao Fox doesn't seem to be in the mood to joke either, after all, Fiorentina is only one point behind Parma at the top of the table, and their own Juventus are already three points behind the top after this game......
This time, instead of returning to Fiorentina with the team, Zhuang Mingge checked in at a five-star hotel in Turin, where he will have to negotiate a transfer for Baggio with Moggie.
After the two sides sat down one after another, Zhuang Mingge decided to strike first:
"Manager Moggie, I think we'd better not go around in circles like we did at the Alp Stadium. You and I both know that Baggio's departure from your Juventus is a foregone conclusion. ”
"No problem." Mo Lao Fox looked at Zhuang Mingge with a smile, "I think so too, after all, in Italy, there is not only one club that has the ability to introduce Baggio, but there is not only one Fiorentina, I also have to negotiate with the managers of other teams." ”
Zhuang Mingge "cut" in his heart, and once again realized that the old fox was not easy to deal with, and said: "Then ask Manager Moji to make a price for Bacho." ”
"I want Philippe Inzaghi, Luigi DiBiagio, plus $10 million." Moggi narrowed his eyes, which made him look more like a cunning old fox, "That's all we need at Juventus. ”
"Impossible!" Zhuang Mingge's voice was a little louder, "Manager Moji, these two players are the main players of Fiorentina this season, who will exchange two main players for a Baggio?" Besides, last time we in Florence have already sold you two good seedlings, Manager Mogi, people should be content. ”
"But no one thinks there are a lot of good seedlings in the team, does it?" Mo Lao Fox blocked Zhuang Mingge with a sentence and said, "Why don't you tell me what price Florence wants to offer Baggio?" ”
"$6 million." Zhuang Mingge said, thought about it and added, "Pay it off within a year." ”
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, Chairman Corleone, your bid is ridiculously low, and I am now beginning to doubt the sincerity of your sitting." Zhuang Mingge's price is something that Mo Ji would never accept if the negotiations break down, "$6 million, plus Lanna and Di Biagio in your team." ”
"No, Mr. Moggie, I'm already very sincere, or I wouldn't have put down my whole bunch of things and negotiated with you here...... Well, otherwise, the transfer fee is still $6 million, but we Fiorentina can pay all the transfer fees all at once, uh, plus Gianni Keda, what do you think? ”
While Zhuang Mingge stabilized the old fox with his words, he lost no time in adding new chips.
"Huh? …… It is feasible to pay all the transfer fees in one go, but the transaction price is really ...... President Corleone, you must know that when we at Juventus brought in Baggio from Fiorentina, we spent $10 million! Moggie unceremoniously agreed to Zhuang Mingge's proposal to pay in a lump sum, but still refused to let go of the price, "Well, I'll take a step back, Franceni and Di Biagio, plus $10 million in cash." ”
Zhuang Mingge, who unknowingly suffered a "dark loss", of course refused to give up so well, and in the face of Moji's "shamelessness", he replied a little unceremoniously:
"You did spend 10 million to buy Baggio, which is true, but the 10 million dollars you Juventus took a year to pay in full, you won't even forget about it, Manager Moggie? …… Uh, sorry, I forgot you were still eating at the Club of Rome...... Why don't you even learn about such an important past? Why don't you call and talk to the rest of your club's top management first?
"Well, this, I don't think so...... Well, let's all give a step, $8 million! Plus Franceni and Di Biagio! We at Juventus can sell Baggio to you during the winter break and don't have to wait until July next year. ”
"Winter break?!"
"Yes, our two clubs can complete the deal during the winter break, this is already the biggest concession we can make at Juve, and I will bear huge risks and pressures to sell the team's leading stars during the winter break, and those news media will treat me as the target of bombardment, and the incomprehension of Juventus fans will pose a great threat to my personal safety...... And if this is the case, in the second half of the season, our club will also have to change the original three-line battle jihua and have to give up some of these games. ”
The old fox took advantage of Zhuang Mingge's surprise and listed in one breath how much inconvenience and trouble the act of selling Baggio in advance would cause to him, in order to prove how much Zhuang Mingge's Florence benefited from it.
Zhuang Mingge, who immediately realized that he had been played by Mo Ji again, really admired the wisdom of this old fox: it really deserved to be Mo Ji, it turned out that he had already calculated it.
According to his memory, Zhuang Mingge always thought that Juventus would not sell Baggio until the end of the season. Unexpectedly, Moggie directly threw him the huge temptation of "trading Baggio in January".
Zhuang Mingge knew that as long as he showed even the slightest surprise in this regard, he would be regarded by Mo Lao Fox as a bargaining chip that could be used.
Awesome!
"No, no......" Zhuang Mingge smiled and waved his hand, and said, "How could we in Florence do something that would make Mr. Moggie sad?" It's still good to trade in July. ”
"This ...... All right. Moggie didn't expect the young man to resist Baggio's temptation and stick to the July trade.
"As for the price, it's impossible to add two players to 8 million. In this way, according to what Manager Moggie just said, let's all give way. $8 million, plus Franceni, how's that? ”
"No, 9 million! Plus Di Biagio! 'Moggi is certainly aware of the lack of reliable substitutes in central midfield, and Di Biagio is a player he likes to be haute.
"Impossible! If Di Biagio leaves, my team will need to find a new midfielder, and your Juventus Baggio is gone and Piero can be on top! In this way, Juve's full-back reserves are not rich enough, $9 million! Plus Franceni and Parry! This is my Zuihou bottom line! ”
Moggi thought for a while, Di Livio, Pesoto, and Torricelli in his own team can all play multiple positions, and bringing these two main substitutes of Fiorentina can indeed deepen Juve's bench thickness.
"Okay, deal!"
"Manager Mogi, if I'm not mistaken, you Juventus have a better relationship with AC Milan, right? Weishenme didn't choose to sell Baggio to Berlusconi? I think the former prime minister (at this time, Silvio Berlusconi was forced to resign due to the bribery scandal) would have been happy to see Baggio training at Milanello. After reaching a deal and signing the agreement, Zhuang Mingge couldn't contain his curiosity and asked Moji.
"Hehe, Mr. Corleone, you should know that trading this kind of thing is a two-way street. It is true that if I send Baggio to Milan, it will strengthen the link between the Agnelli family and the Berlusconi family, but what do we Juventus get? No! Nothing but a small dollar. ”
This is also the reason why Moggi is reluctant to make a deal with Milan: if a deal is reached with Milan, Berlusconi will not have to pay too much to take Baggio, while Agnelli will benefit from the Fiat consortium itself, not Juventus.
Typical little brother bleeding, the boss benefits!
This is not at all in line with Moggi's plan for Juventus to dominate Serie A, and in his opinion, Fiorentina will collapse next season if they fail to fill the first-team squad in time after losing their main substitute at full-back.
Don't think that a transfer to a football club is less risky than a player deal in the NBA. After the departure of the veteran players, it is impossible for the team to really know what kind of performance the newcomers can have with them, even if they are careful and specific, the most typical example is Huntelaar.
Therefore, every transfer is a venture investment, on the one hand, depending on the operator's vision, on the other hand, it has to rely on that illusory luck.
Fortunately, Zhuang Mingge relied on his memory advantage to make Florence not have to worry about this for more than ten years.
