U8 Update Fastest Reading Network () While the outside world is arguing over who can win the final league title between Monaco and Lyon, in Monaco, the two are also discussing the future of Monaco again.

"Mr. Campora, the last time we met, I said that I was not very interested in saving the Monaco club. But I have to say that the hard work of you and your club players has made me change my mind. At his lodgings, Prince Albert motioned for Campora to sit down, and spoke in a manner that was no longer as cold and stiff as the last time we met, "I don't think what you said is wrong, and perhaps, this team is indeed worth my time to save." ”

"I'm flattered by your attention." Campora smiled, "So, are you going to come forward?" ”

"Yes, I'm ready to come forward. But the prerequisite is that the Monaco players work hard enough to win the championship and embody the Jīng god of Monaco. I will only help those who are willing to save themselves, and don't blame me if Monaco can't show enough courage and willpower. ”

Manifesting the god of Monaco jīng?

Campora was a little amused. What is the god of Monaco jīng? A place that is famous all over the world for its gambling industry, what else does it say about the god jīng? The gambler's jīng god? Or is it that the jīng god of the Monaco royal family, like the father of Prince Albert, married a movie star to subsidize the family's soft rice because he had no money in the past?

What Albert wanted, I'm afraid, wouldn't be some kind of jīng divine power.

"I noticed that after Monaco won the French League Cup, the media praised Monaco a lot." Prince Albert continued, "This kind of praise is very good for the image of the Principality of Monaco, and I hope it will be more likely." ”

This sentence made Campora understand what he was thinking.

He doesn't care about the life or death of any team, but he cares a lot about the quality of his reputation. Saving a team doesn't have much impact on his reputation, but saving a championship team will help his reputation a lot.

Prince Albert's reputation in Europe can be said to be stinky, and the chaotic and indulgent life of the Monaco royal family is very concentrated in him. He was over forty years old and had no sons, which led to speculation that the Principality of Monaco might become extinct in his hands and thus officially annexed to France. That's why his sister, Princess Caroline, would propose that King Rainier consider having her own son, Prince Andrew, take over as king in order to avoid the country's extinction.

Although Monaco is only a broken country the size of a town, there is no small matter when it comes to the succession to the throne.

Prince Albert knew he couldn't compare morality with that little guy - he had a bad ass, he couldn't count the number of models and actresses he had slept with, his nephew was no more than twenty years old, he was still very young, and he had far fewer problems. If Rainier lived another ten years, he would be confident that his nephew wasn't a good thing, but his dad didn't seem to have that long.

Before that, Albert was reluctant to meddle in the club's affairs because he was afraid of setting himself on fire, making people say that he was not doing his job properly, or that he would put the blame for the club's mismanagement on his head. But after Monaco snatched the League Cup, he changed his mind.

He suddenly realised that Monaco's supporters had come out in a much way unexpected, and it was possible to turn his reputation around by stepping in to save the champions.

But the premise is that he won't be trapped too deeply.

"I've looked at the club's accounts and I didn't expect our expenses to be so big and how much we owe." Albert shook his head, "Have you ever calculated how much money it will take to bring the club back to life if we can win the title?" ”

"About 30 million is enough." "We owe about 200 million euros in our bank, but fortunately, we don't have to pay them all within this year, we just need enough money to pay part of the amount due this year." Actually, for that amount of money, we could have sold one or two players in the summer, but ......"

"But if you know that we're short of money, all the clubs won't talk to us about a deal, they're going to put the season back and we don't have the money to sign up, they're going to drag us down and buy our team at a bargain, right?"

Albert's words made Campora nod.

"When we win, I'll vouch for you so you can raise the money." Albert nodded, "There are quite a few people who have opened a company in Monaco, and I think that if I came forward, they would be willing to donate some money to work hard for the revival of Monaco." ”

"Your generosity and virtue are bound to be praised by all."

Campora also knew what to say at this time.

Albert laughed, and Campora understood what he was saying.

"I understand your feelings, you actually know, I'm also a Monaco fan and if Monaco can play better, I can be happy. Our Monaco is a team and it's worth something for me. ”

"It's a team like this that I deserve to give everything I have to protect." Campora couldn't help but exclaim.

"Actually, Jean, I've been thinking a lot, maybe you can do something to make this team a little bit better." Albert opened his mouth, "You know, the Monaco club has been operating badly over the years, and I think our income may not be able to adapt to this era when footballers are getting higher and higher......

"If we sell players, we can still maintain it." Campora retorted, but he knew it wasn't realistic, "We may shrink a little bit and stop the team from being on the front line of the championship race, but we can continue to operate." ”

"What's the point of running a business that is worse than death?" Prince Albert shook his head, "Actually, I have a better idea. ”

"I want your advice." Campora was already vaguely aware of what he was trying to say.

"I know a Russian friend who is interested in investing in this team." Prince Albert made it clear: "He is very wealthy, he is also interested in football, and he wants to buy our club. The only problem is that he is not Monegasque and he is not French. Probably won't get the support of the team......"

"Yes, it's definitely not going to be supported by the team." Campora immediately replied, "Your Highness, what are you thinking?" This club is an integral part of Monaco and is as much a symbol of Monaco as the Casino de Monte-Carlo! And how can we possibly let foreigners run the club? Our home stadium is named after your ancestors, the owners of this club are the Casirachi family, the president of the club is the Campora family, the coaches are the Petit family, the youth management is the Barned family – it's something that has been passed down from our ancestors for generations, how can we sell it? ”

"First of all, it's not about selling, it's just about injecting capital, they become the majority shareholder of the team, you don't suffer any monetary loss. And, what's more, now we can't run Monaco anymore. Albert frowned slightly, "We have no money." Whether it's honor or tradition, it's something that needs to be mentioned when we have money. Now, we've got a lot of money, what's the use of mentioning these things? Let, I can make sacrifices for the team, I can sacrifice my face to get sponsorship for the team as my prince, why can't you sacrifice your paranoia and give up some power? ”

"It's not power that you're asking me to give up, it's the club! It's my hard work, my pride for 28 years! ”

"Something, it's time to think about giving up." Prince Albert's voice cooled, "Jean, you have been sitting in the position of president of the club for more than twenty years, and the club owes a huge debt of 200 million funds, which is your unshirkable responsibility. Of course, you've won a few championships, but you can't eat them, and on the contrary, you've almost caused our club to have no money to eat. You're old and outdated, so why can't you think about making some sacrifices for the future of the club? What happens to the club if I don't want to raise money for the club? Let's each make a step okay, I'll go fundraiser while you ......"

Albert glanced at Campora, "You should consider resigning." Be proactive, I'm not going to put pressure on you in the boardroom. ”

"Resign?" Campora repeated, "Is this your friend's request?" ”

"No, it's actually my request." Prince Albert shook his head, "I recently met an American friend who pointed out that our club has a lot of unreasonable business ideas, such as many of our employees are very amateur ......"

"They are veterans of the club! Where else can they go if they don't stay at the club? Campora raised his head, "Your Royal Highness, you shouldn't listen to a Yankee!" ”

"If the Yankee knows what business is, why don't I listen to him?" Albert shook his head, "Jean, you're too old to fit this position." ”

Campora looked at Prince Albert in front of him and couldn't say a word for a long time. Is this really the prince he knows who is extremely concerned about the future development of the team?

I also thought that the reason why he changed his mind was to use Monaco's reputation to save his dignity, who had ever wanted to use Monaco's reputation to make a sum of money, so that the Monaco team could make another contribution to his wallet!

"Your Royal Highness, I will obey your orders."

Campora bowed deeply, his expression extremely submissive. But in his heart, a completely different thought sprung up: Your Royal Highness, you are a good politician and know how to threaten people. But you're not a good fan, you're good at politics, but you don't understand football. Do you think that you can easily make me helpless? Far from it.
