Football: Rebirth 04, I Create a Black Shop in Football

The news of the incident was a big one, but the news was not good.

Early on Wednesday morning, Li Shiguang received a call from Allen. He thought he was here to announce the good news, but he didn't expect Allen to say that the contact with Moggi was not going well, and Juventus was unwilling to give in on the sale of Camoranesi.

On the other end of the phone, Allen's tone was a little angry: "Boss, Moggi's attitude is really a bit too much. I waited for a whole hour to see him yesterday. Then when I proposed to buy Camoranesi, he rejected me without even hearing my offer!"

Li Shiguang obviously did not expect Moggi to have such an attitude. He frowned subconsciously and asked, "What did he say specifically?"

"He didn't say anything at all. After rejecting me, he chatted with me for a few words and asked his secretary to send him away! In my opinion, if it really doesn't work, we can contact the player directly, double his salary, and let him put pressure on the club. Then we'll see who will have a headache!" Allen's tone became more and more excited.

In fact, Li Shiguang had thought about Allen's proposal at the beginning, but then he overturned this idea in his mind. If his target was Ibrahimovic or Zambrotta, this method might work, but if the target was Camoranesi, who did not abandon Juventus even after being relegated to the second division, this method would probably only have the opposite effect.

So after a little consideration, Li Shiguang made arrangements: "Alan, help me book a restaurant in Turin, and then make an appointment with Giraudo, and tell him that I will invite him to dinner tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Li Shiguang immediately asked Lina to book a plane ticket. After finishing training at 2 o'clock, he boarded the plane to Turin.

Since the time with Giraudo was 6 o'clock, out of courtesy, Li Shiguang appeared in the box of a local Michelin restaurant in Turin at 5:30 on time accompanied by Alan, waiting for the arrival of Giraudo and Moggi.

In a car heading to the restaurant, Moggi was talking in a low voice with Giraudo.

"Luciano, why did Li Shiguang keep staring at Camoranesi? How much did the general manager he sent offer before?"

Giraudo's question made Moggi stunned, and then he realized, damn! Yesterday, I was busy getting off work. When I heard that someone wanted to buy Camoranesi, I didn't seem to ask the man how much Leeds United was going to pay, so I rejected him directly!

With a turn of his eyes, he silently thought about the wording in his heart, and Moggi replied: "Antonio, Camoranesi is our non-saleable product. Without your consent, no matter how much they offer, I will definitely not sell it."

Giraudo is not a fool. After hearing what Moggi said, he knew that this old guy must have sent others away without even asking the price. No wonder the boss came to the door today.

As soon as I arrived at the office in the morning, the secretary came in and said that the boss of Leeds United asked me to have dinner with him and said that there was some cooperation to discuss. I was confused. I thought that Juventus had no contact with Leeds United before, so what was there to discuss. Later, I arranged for the secretary to go and find out briefly, and then I knew that Li Shiguang wanted to buy Camoranesi.

Giraudo is a thorough businessman. After he took over Juventus, he put almost all his energy into improving Juventus' market value, including signing a 12-year clothing sponsorship contract with Nike and selling Juventus' chest advertisers to Sky Sports, the buyer of the TV broadcasting rights.

This practice made him criticized in the Italian football world, even by members of the Ranieri family.

But the effect is also significant. Unlike other Italian clubs, Juventus' market value has been unprecedentedly developed in his hands. So in Giraudo's eyes, as long as the price is right, except for equity, everything else in Juventus can be sold!

After thinking this through, Giraudo nodded in response, closed his eyes and stopped talking, thinking about what price he would ask for later?

About a quarter of an hour later, the car arrived at the restaurant that Li Shiguang had booked. Seeing Giraudo and Mogi getting off the car, Allen, who was waiting outside the restaurant, hurried over. After passing Mogi in front of him, he bowed to Giraudo with a smile on his face and said, "Please come this way, Mr. Giraudo, thank you for coming. I am Allen, the general manager of Leeds United, and the boss is waiting for you in the box." Hearing that Li Shiguang was already waiting for him in the restaurant, Giraudo nodded to Allen in response and hurried into the restaurant.

.

After a while, Giraudo met Li Shiguang in the box. After a brief greeting, Li Shiguang took the initiative to start the topic.

After coming to Europe for so long, Li Shiguang still retains some of his previous habits when talking about things, such as liking to invite the negotiation partner to the dinner table to eat and chat, but in terms of talking about things, he has gradually moved closer to the habits here, so he did not beat around the bush. The four of them sat down directly, and Li Shiguang said directly: "Mr. Giraudo, I won't beat around the bush with you. I want to meet you today mainly to talk about Camoranesi. We want to buy him after the winter window opens, but Allen reported to me that it seems that Mr. Moggi is not satisfied with our report. Are you not satisfied with the price?"

Hearing what Li Shiguang said, Moji, who was smiling at the side, froze, and his smile gradually became awkward. He cursed in his heart: "Fuck! Yesterday, the Englishman was sent away before he said how much money he was going to pay. How could I know how much he was going to pay! Besides, can you just talk about the matter and don't involve me? What do you mean I am not satisfied? I am just a general manager! What if I am satisfied?"

Giraudo knew that Li Shiguang said this just to disgust Moji and help his subordinates.

But after all, it was Moggi who did the wrong thing first, so Giraudo did not argue with Li Shiguang on this issue, but directly said: "Mr. Li, you also know that Camoranesi is the absolute main force of Juventus, and he is also an Italian international. From the perspective of Juventus, the previous offer is indeed not in line with his current value."

Seeing that Giraudo automatically ignored his dissatisfaction with Moggi, Li Shiguang did not continue to pester him, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Giraudo, we are very sincere in buying Camoranesi. So, on the basis of the original offer, we will increase it a little bit, 9 million euros, what do you think of this price?"

After knowing Leeds United's offer, Giraudo showed an embarrassment on his face and said: "Mr. Li, when we introduced Camoranesi, we spent nearly 9 million euros. Your offer makes Juventus have no profit at all."

Hearing Giraudo's refusal again, the smile on Li Shiguang's face gradually converged....
