At 20:00, a flight from Parma to Bologna landed slowly, and Jingyang walked out with a suitcase.

Bologna, Italian city.Located on the southern edge of the Po River Plain and the northern foot of the Apennine Mountains, it is a distribution center for agricultural products and a commercial center. Its industries are mainly food, textiles, agricultural machinery, automobiles, railway equipment and chemicals. It is a railway hub and the capital of Emilia Romagna.Bologna is a famous historical and cultural city in northern Italy and one of the oldest cities in Italy.Bologna is a small city, and the old town is famous for having two sister towers (one tall and one short) built in the Middle Ages.

After booking the hotel, Jingyang put the luggage in the hotel, looked at the watch at 08:30, and went out for a walk.Walking on the streets of the ancient Italian city and looking at the passers-by, Jingyang has some nostalgia for the scene when he was in the orphanage. Jingyang was lucky.

The person who was hit with a plop sat down on the ground: "Oh, who is it that doesn't look at people when you walk?" "Okay, let's go, it's not good to sneak out this time and be found out by the company." Said the girl beside the knocked down girl. "Really, Quan Yuli, I told you not to travel so far and you just don't listen, forget it, I'm unlucky!"

However, Jingyang didn't understand a word of the conversation between the two, because the other party was speaking in Korean. Before Jingyang could apologize in the future, two girls with hats and masks quickly left and disappeared into the crowd.

This dress. The weather in Italy is not considered cold. It is a thick hat, a mask and a big scarf. Could it be a certain star?Forget it, well, it's almost time, let's go to the coffee shop first.

Bologna is not a big city. Based on his memory, Jingyang quickly found the coffee house he had agreed upon.

"Hello, Mr. Hernan Jorge Crespo, this is Marco Jingyang"

"Hello, I'm Hernán Jorge Crespo, Mr. Jingyang, don't be so formal, I wonder if you invite me this time, what's the matter?"

In the past six months, Jingyang has not been idle. In addition to commercial investment, he has more cooperation with some sports companies. These days, if you have money, you have connections. In order to get to know some famous people, Jingyang has not missed the home of an old professor of sports at the University of Bologna during this period.

Coincidentally, my old professor at the university happened to be Cannavaro's teacher, and he helped Cannavaro obtain the coaching qualification certificate smoothly. Several times when Jingyang went to the teacher's house, he happened to meet Cannavaro, who is now the head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande.

In fact, Cannavaro is not only talented in football, but also has a very high emotional intelligence in dealing with people. Naturally, he can know that Jingyang is rich and plans to set up a club through chatting.

"Mr. Crespo, I invited you here this time just to have a brief chat. I'm really sorry to disturb you." "It's okay. Fabio and I have also talked and mentioned you. I heard that you intend to acquire a club?" Crespo made it clear without delay, which saved Jingyang's trouble.

"Yes, Mr. Crespo doesn't know what you think of Palma today?" Jingyang asked with a smile. "Hey, today's Parma may be difficult to survive. Let me tell you that the Italian Football Association has actually made a decision. Now Parma is in debt of 3.2 million euros, and no one is ready to take over. You are clear about business. Serie A is not as good as the Premier League and Spain. Those rich tycoons are more willing to take over Premier League teams with higher commercial value."

"I also know this situation. Mr. Crespo, if, I mean, if, one day in the future, I take over Parma, would you like to return to Parma as the club director?" Jingyang's tone was very serious and pertinent.

Crespo's eyes lit up, but then he returned to normal, "If Parma needs me one day, I think I'm willing to return. After all, this is where my dream started, but I'm afraid Parma's debts are not so easy to solve."

"Mr. Crespo, in fact, you already understand what I mean, and you might as well tell you that I have a certain relationship with the Italian Football Association, and you also know that after this Christmas, the Football Association will officially declare Parma bankrupt in March, and his debts will also be resolved, and other aspects will also be resolved by Juventus, Milan and other teams, so my plan."

"What do you mean? I understand. Since it's already corrupt, it's better to start over! If it's what you said, if you buy Parma in the end, and you need me, I have no problem!" Crespo nodded and said.

Jingyang stood up and held Crespo's hand: "Thank you for your trust, then look forward to our next meeting, happy cooperation, Mr. Crespo!"

Crespo was also very polite: "Thank you also for your trust in me, happy cooperation, Mr. Jingyang."

Jingyang and Crespo walked out of the coffee shop, and after returning to the hotel, Jingyang thought about it and called his assistant Chris Bolton, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Finance at Harvard.

"Bolton, after Christmas, I will try my best to pull some officials in the Italian Football Association next year, you know what I mean, so as not to cause trouble for the acquisition next summer."

"Don't worry, boss, there is no problem. By the way, there is a little difference in the cooperation between the boss and China. The cooperation plan we originally proposed with Tencent will be divided into four or six, but besides the annual agency fee, Tencent hopes to divide it into five or five. Do you think?"

Jingyang thought for a while, after all, the Chinese market is the main battlefield for attracting money, and wanting to enter the Chinese market does not depend on how good your game is. If there is no big tree like Tencent, you will just wait for troubles.

"Boss, I understand. There is another question from Tencent. When will Overwatch go online?" Bolton asked. "Well, you tell them that it will be officially launched in February this year. Well, if there are no other problems, I will take a rest. You should also pay attention to sleep. You can't ruin your body even if you earn money." Jingyang said with concern.

"Thank you boss, then I won't bother you!"

After finishing the conversation, Jingyang was full of confidence, because the reason why Overwatch was not as good as League of Legends in China in the previous life was not because of the quality of the game. The main problem was point card or one-time purchase games. The number of players of this type of game is definitely not as large as that of free players. So after communicating with Michael Chu, the game will be released to all players for free, but the heroes and skins can be purchased directly by players who spend gold coins or recharge, which is similar to the model of League of Legends. Or if you experience new characters in the game earlier, you are still willing to spend money to buy them.

Time passed quickly and it was already March. The hearing on Parma was held at 3:19 pm on March 3th, local time in Italy. The hearing ended in only 30 minutes, and the judge did not pronounce the verdict in court.

Parma club president Manetti did not attend the hearing because he was arrested on suspicion of money laundering, and the Italian Football Association also announced that if no buyer takes over within another three months, Parma will start in the amateur league.In fact, Jingyang also thought that if he took over at this time, although he could start from the second division, he seemed a little hasty in terms of funds and personnel, and some players in the team had already left freely. The team can continue to operate profitably.

NO.20 After chatting with Crespo and others, they all support Jingyang's idea. After all, they know how much money is needed to start an empty shell club even in the Italian second division.

In less than three months, Jingyang and the people inside the Italian Football Association can be said to be quite familiar. The Italian Football Association officially announced at 7 am on July 1 that the Parma club will be taken over by Marco Jingyang and Parma will be renamed Parma 10.
And at the same time, Jingyang announced to the media that Crespo would be the director of Parma. After lunch with Crespo at noon, the two came to the Tardini Stadium. Except for a few young players from the youth team, there were only Lucarelli and a few coaches.

Holding the captain's armband of Parma in his hand, Jingyang handed the captain's armband to Lucarelli in front of the whole team, and invited coaches and youth team players who did not leave Parma, including Lucarelli, to the dinner tonight.
