Chapter 233 Another Winter Break
After the match with Auxerre, Bordeaux ushered in this year's winter break.

During the winter break every year, the first thing Fanshang thinks about is signing up. For example, last year, Fanshang bought 8 players during the winter break, but this year Fanshang will not make such a big move again, although now Even the summer transfer budget was not spent, but the team's lineup is neat and stable. If there are no major accidents, Fan Shang is not going to sign any more.

Except for the position of substitute goalkeeper, this position is very embarrassing now. Before Frey was young, he could sit and wait for an opportunity, but now Frey has always been the main goalkeeper of the Ligue [-] team. It is impossible to bring him back as a substitute.And the current substitute goalkeeper Alduni is purely a supplement. His level can only be said to be at the level of Ligue [-], and he must be at his peak.

Although Chilavert is stable, he will often return to South America at the beginning of next year to participate in the final competition of the World Cup South American qualifiers, so a qualified second goalkeeper will be a key consideration for Vincent during the winter break.

The target of Fan Shang's casting net this time is the old goalkeeper, who is about to retire, who can sit on the bench honestly, and who can stand up for a while in emergencies.This is a very difficult thing. After several days of continuous struggle, Fan Shang finally found a name he likes and meets the requirements.

This Christmas, Fan Shang will fly to the United States, of course to accompany Eva Green, but there are two things that Fan Shang needs to do, one is to visit his investment company, the other It's the business of the club.

Of these three things, the first one went well. I spent a happy Christmas with Eva Green in her apartment. This time the two finally had a substantial breakthrough...

The second thing is not bad, and it is going well. Fan Shang’s investment company put its headquarters on Wall Street. wall street.It's hard for Fan Shang to say anything, Tom Brown's reason is also very reasonable, the information on Wall Street is more smooth and fast, and it's all first-hand information.

In fact, Fan Shang also knew that this approach was also a response to those who looked down on Tom Brown, who had been neglected before Wall Street.

From the Southeast Asian financial crisis to the current Asian financial crisis, Tom Brown has successfully grabbed a lot of benefits from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and even Japan and South Korea.On the premise that the investment direction is good, Tom Brown is still a good operator.

It's just that his investment vision is really bad. He wanted to stop Hong Kong last time, but the facts proved that his vision failed again.Now Tom Brown can be regarded as resigned to his fate. No matter what investment he makes, he must communicate with Fan Shang before making any investment, so as not to fail at that time.

After this wave of hype, Fan Shang's Victory Road Investment Company has exploded in assets. Although the total amount is still small, it is already a huge sum of money for Fan Shang. Although it is not over [-] million, it is almost the same.

Vincent's next instruction to Tom Brown is to withdraw all his current investment in Asia, hold a large number of Microsoft and Yahoo stocks from now on, and complete the layout within half a year.

Fan Shang also asked Tom Brown to allocate 1000 million US dollars from the company's funds, and use these funds as investment funds to invest in some potential small companies.

The third thing was more difficult. Fan Shang ran to the suburbs of Boston and found a major league club called the New England Revolution. He left the team after the season of the league. Now he should rest at home or go on vacation somewhere. Fan Shang still needs the latest contact information of this person.

And Fan Shang was on the plane to Italy at this time, this person should be at home in Italy, Fan Shang hoped that he would not be caught in the air.

Fan Shang's destination this time is Milan, but he is not going to make a deal with Inter Milan or AC Milan, but to find someone he needs, and this person may also need the position provided by Fan Shang now.

When Fan Shang appeared at the door of this person's house, this person's expression was stunned. Obviously he recognized Fan Shang's face. They are all from the European football circle. Fan Shang is the only oriental face. Many people are right. Fan Shang was deeply impressed.

"Hi, are you Mr. Fan Shang?" asked the person who opened the door.

"Hi, I'm Fan Shang. I took the liberty to come to visit today, Mr. Zeng Jia." Fan Shang replied politely.

The person Vincent came to look for today is Walter Zenga, the famous goalkeeper of the former Italian national team and Inter Milan. He played for the Nerazzurri for 12 years. Champions of the UEFA Cup.In 2, he was elected as the best player in Serie A as a goalkeeper. In 1987, 1989, and 1990, he was elected as the world's best goalkeeper by IFFHS three times. In 1991, he became UEFA's best goalkeeper of the year.In the No.1990 World Cup in 1990, he created a World Cup record of 14 minutes without conceding a goal.

This year he has just concluded his contract with the New England Revolution of the Major League Soccer League, and now he is working at home, not knowing whether his next step is to continue his career or retire as a coach.

Zeng Jia did not know what it meant when Fan Shang came to visit this time. He had almost no contact with France in his entire career, let alone Fan Shang, a young coach who has just emerged for two or three years.

"Mr. Fan Shang, did you have something to do with me today?" Zeng added a question mark in his head, so he spoke first.

"Of course, Mr. Zeng Jia, I know you may have many doubts. But the following conversation will solve these doubts for you." Vincent said with a smile.

Zeng Jia nodded, then looked at Fan Shang, ready to listen to him continue.

"Then I'll just say it straight," Fan Shang looked at Zeng Jia a little anxiously, so Fan Shang didn't go around the bush, "Mr. Zeng Jia, I'm representing the Bordeaux club now, are you interested in joining our Bordeaux club?"

In fact, Zeng Jia probably guessed some of Fan Shang's intentions when he saw Fan Shang, but he wanted to know why Bordeaux invited him to join, after all, he had been away from the core circle of European football for several years.

"Thanks to the Bordeaux club for the invitation, but I can ask, what is the invitation to the Bordeaux club? A player or a coach or something else?" Zenga asked again.
