For Russell, he has never felt such embarrassment!

He is a talent, there is no doubt about it, so he is successful in everything he does. He runs the company in a flawless manner. He also managed Barcelona and created a dream team. After that, he strategized and ran for the chairmanship of Barcelona. He also went very smoothly. , killed Laporta's team, took charge of Barcelona, ​​and completed his revenge.

It can be said that before this, he had a smooth journey and was proud of himself. However, since he took charge of Barcelona, ​​the problems he encountered have made him almost overwhelmed, and now he is on the edge of the cliff of despair.

If enough money cannot be raised this month to pay the bank debt and interest due, and to pay the salaries of the team's stars, Barcelona will definitely be in complete chaos.

In this current environment, he has no more choices!

When the plane arrived over Madrid, he looked down at the capital city with mixed feelings in his heart.

I still remember that before the first round of the Derby of the Century, Russell hosted a banquet for Florentino in accordance with the tradition of the past few years. At that time, Florentino also smiled and talked about Messi and asked Russell about his heart. What is the price? Half-jokingly, he said that he would bring Messi to Madrid to play at the Bernabeu.

Rosell also responded in a half-joking manner at the time, saying that the only possibility for Messi to play at the Bernabeu was to wear a Barcelona jersey. However, he asked Ronaldinho's worth in turn and said that Barcelona was very interested in bringing the Portuguese to Novo. Camp.

Only a few months had passed, but the situation suddenly changed so dramatically that he, the president of Barcelona, ​​had to come to Madrid in person to secretly meet with Florentino.

Everyone in the world knows that Real Madrid wants to get Messi. Everyone in the world also knows that the most likely place for Messi to go is Real Madrid, and everyone in the world knows that Barcelona must sell Messi, but What the whole world doesn't know is, when will Real Madrid be willing to speak?

Today's Real Madrid are not in a hurry at all. Florentino has made no move at all. He has neither met with the player's agent nor contacted Barcelona. At the same time, he has also denied all rumors about Messi's transfer to Real Madrid, giving people a sense of urgency. It's as if he is not interested in Messi at all.

Time is the most powerful weapon Real Madrid has in its hands!

Unless Barcelona wants to sell Messi at a low price, otherwise, only Real Madrid can afford it!

After Chelsea introduced many powerful stars such as Eto'o,

It is no longer possible for Abramovich to pay a sky-high price for a dispensable Messi who does not know whether he can adapt to the Premier League. He has not forgotten Shevchenko's lesson at all.

Manchester United's current adjustments are in place, and there is no place for Messi in Ferguson's team.

Among the richest teams in the world, the only one that has made a transfer request is Manchester City. But the players have made it clear that it is impossible to go to Manchester City, which cannot even compete in the Champions League. This is equivalent to blocking the way to join Manchester City.

So the last option left is Real Madrid!

Russell and Florentino have a good relationship. The latter is famous for his communication skills in Spain. Even with Laporta, they have always maintained a close relationship, and Russell works at Nike. During this period, I had close contact with Florentino, so we had a good relationship.

As soon as he and Vice Chairman Javier Faus arrived in Madrid, they were immediately picked up by a car secretly arranged by Piri. They were not exposed to anyone's sight along the way and were sent directly to Kai in a corner of the Bernabeu Stadium. Hotel.

They were delivered by special car, no one saw them along the way, and no media got wind of it.

This is a five-star hotel that has just opened for business. They were directly accompanied by Piri and arrived at the business suite opened by Florentino. But in addition to Florentino, the club’s head coach Yang Cheng Also there.

Hello, Mr. Perez, Mr. Yang Cheng! Russell smiled and reached out his hand.

Hello, Mr. Russell! Yang Cheng nodded slightly, held hands with Russell, and said politely.

In addition to Florentino and Yang Cheng, Piri and Butragueno also attended the meeting with Real Madrid. The four giants jointly received Russell and Faus. This formation was enough to make Russell feel sincerity. , also shows Florentino's courage, he wants to finalize the transfer matter in one fell swoop today.

Sandro, I'm glad you can come to Madrid! Florentino was sitting on the sofa with a big smile, but the glasses were reflecting the light, making him feel very shrewd, Actually, I I have always hoped to get in touch with you, you know, I hope I can advise you not to continue to pursue Laporta!

After hearing this, Russell was a little unhappy, This is our Barcelona's internal affairs!

Florentino had expected such an answer and smiled slightly, Sandro, you know, there are not many membership-based clubs in Spain now. We don't need to talk about other clubs, but Real Madrid and Barcelona are definitely not Likewise, if you continue to pursue this case, it will inevitably expose more of the club’s inside story, which is not a good sign!”

Russell was stunned when he heard this. Florentino's statement was indeed not unreasonable.

Yang Cheng went back and forth between the two Spanish football tycoons with great interest. He felt that Russell was a little more mature when he met Florentino. Lafayette was an old treacherous man. The guy gave Russell a hammer as soon as he came.

There are not many membership-based clubs in Spain, such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao, but there is no need to talk about Athletic Bilbao, while Real Madrid and Barcelona are different.

When many people mention these two clubs, they will say that the reason why they can invest heavily in signings is because they are membership clubs. And many people can talk about a lot of advantages of membership clubs, such as membership fee income. , for example, it can be given tax-free treatment as a public enterprise, etc.

But in fact, membership clubs also have severe disadvantages. There is a ruler above their heads, that is, they cannot make profits!

Although membership clubs can be exempted from some taxes, the tax on profits is very high. If you carefully study the statements of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​you will find a very strange phenomenon, that is, both clubs have surprisingly achieved revenue. Balance of payments means no profit or even debt.

As members-only clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona do not need to disclose their finances to the outside world. They only need to provide records to some government departments. However, the government actually turns a blind eye to these two clubs. Therefore, As a result, both clubs will conduct activities similar to money laundering in some financial operations.

Florentino has a large number of outstanding financial experts who are very good at calculating the club's financial situation. Therefore, many people wonder why Real Madrid is so rich but refuses to repay its bank debts?

It's actually very simple. If you don't have debt, it will be very difficult to avoid tax!

It can even be said that Florentino does not even rule out continuing to increase bank debt as long as necessary, because these debts can wash away the club's profits when necessary, achieve balance of payments, and offset profit taxes.

If Russell wants to continue to hold Laporta accountable, it will inevitably lead to more internal operations of the club being exposed in the media. By then, many inside stories will be uncovered, and the relevant departments will be forced to The pressure will have to monitor the two clubs, and then the advantages of Real Madrid and Barcelona will be completely lost.

Barcelona is now heavily in debt, of course it doesn't matter, but Real Madrid has had such high income and huge profits over the years. Once it is exposed, Real Madrid will suffer the most. That's why Florentino wants to persuade Russell, even if he doesn't Considering the present, what about the future?

Once this long-standing operating method is declared invalid, no one will benefit, right?

Russell thought for a while, I will consider your proposal carefully! He was still a little reluctant, but he had to admit that Florentino pointed out the key point.

Yang Cheng secretly laughed in his heart. Sometimes it is easy for fans to think of some things too simply. They think that the club's management is a fool. In fact, this may not be the case. Russell and Florentino are both so shrewd that they are frightening. Heroes among people, their ability to reach their current status is proof of their strength.

How could such a person be so bad?

As for Laporta, this lawyer-turned-guy is now prosperous in the political arena. Barcelona’s debt has nothing to do with him, and his reputation in the Barcelona area is also very good. Is he really stupid and bad?

Let's talk straight to the point, Sandro! After Florentino settled the first thing, he immediately moved the topic to the next thing, which was the player's transfer. You and I are very interested. Clearly, with the current situation in Barcelona, ​​you need a lot of money to operate, and I need stars!

According to what Yang Cheng learned, Florentino is planning to borrow money from banks to acquire stars, which will increase the club's liabilities. But in fact, this is also Florentino's method of operation. How to do it, Yang Cheng is a layman. , I don’t know, but he knows very well that Real Madrid has made a lot of money in recent years and has absolutely no debt burden.

Messi and Iniesta, I want these two players, what do you think? Florentino smiled and looked very kind, but his tone was domineering like a high-level decision-maker.

Russell and Faus also expected it. They had already noticed it since Iniesta's father came to Madrid.

These two players are the backbone of the team, and we don't want both to leave! Russell replied.

Florentino shook his head, Don't say that, Sandro, I don't like beating around the bush, and you don't need to tell me that. We both know the current situation. In one sentence, how much is the price?

Russell and Faus looked at each other again, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Florentino beat them to death this time, because he was born to be a master of market capital operations. In the bank, With a wide network of contacts in the capital field, Barcelona's predicament cannot be hidden from him.

150 million euros! Javier Faus set his own price after getting Russell's hint.

After hearing this, Florentino was deliberately stunned for a moment, then laughed, Javier, do you think you are joking? Or do you plan to let this negotiation end here?

Messi's 100 million euros is not expensive, right? Iniesta's price is 30,000 euros, isn't that outrageous? Faus asked.

Pili smiled and nodded, It's indeed not expensive, but that was half a year ago!

Javier, the situation now is completely different from before, you have to take this into consideration! Butragueno also reminded.

How much did Mourinho offer for Alves?

With the latest offer of 20 million euros, the Portuguese is smarter than the ghost city. He knows the current situation of Barcelona very well!

Then tell me! Russell looked at Florentino.

The latter hesitated, 100 million!

This is absolutely impossible! Russell shook his head immediately. This was too far away from his psychological price. Manchester City wanted to pay 1.7 billion euros for two players, but Real Madrid only paid 100 million. This is too stingy.

Florentino was always paying attention to Russell's expression. He obviously knew what he was thinking. He nodded and said: Then add more, 120 million euros. In addition, I can help you contact the bank for a loan. I believe that plus this amount Money, you can survive this crisis!

But what Florentino didn't say is that after the crisis, his strength will definitely be greatly reduced!

As soon as he said this, Russell immediately felt excited, because Florentino's influence and connections in the Spanish business field were undoubtedly what he lacked the most. The latter had friends almost everywhere, he said. If you can help, then it's definitely no problem, and although the price is on the low side, it's not too bad.

If everything was normal in Barcelona, ​​Messi might be able to sell for nearly 100 million euros, but the current situation is no better than before. Messi plus Iniesta can sell for 120 million euros, which is not bad.

Of course, Florentino will not desperately lower the price. If he is really desperate, Rosell is likely to force the player to transfer to Manchester City. By then, Real Madrid will not be able to get it.

Of course, it doesn't matter to Yang Cheng, but Florentino has a bit of a superstar complex in his heart. He has always been looking forward to the grand occasion when the most dazzling stars on the planet are playing for Real Madrid, so he can't give up.

The most important thing is that Real Madrid is really rich now!

In fact, supporting Barcelona is not a big deal. Even if it helps them get through the difficulties and sells Messi and Iniesta, plus other players may also follow the transfer, Barcelona is definitely weak. Yes, at least in just a few years, this team will not be able to catch its breath.

In other words, in the next few years, La Liga will become completely dominated by Real Madrid!

Russell looked at Javier Faus. The price was a little lower than their previous psychological price. Florentino's so-called help in finding a loan was actually just borrowing a relationship, and the mortgage still required Barcelona. Provided, the interest will still be at least one penny, or even higher.

But do they have a choice?

Russell is not without scruples at all. If he insists on forcing Messi to transfer to Manchester City, then his role as chairman will probably come to an end. The fans will definitely spit him to death, but if he can reach a tacit understanding of cooperation with Real Madrid, in the middle There is still room for maneuver, and Russell is an expert in this area.

I know your difficulties, Sandro, 120 million euros, summer transfer, as long as it does not damage Real Madrid's image and interests, we will fully cooperate with you! Florentino gave another tempting suggestion chips.

The biggest obstacle for the Barcelona star to transfer to Real Madrid must come from the fans, so Florentino did this in the hope that Russell can reduce the obstacles from the fans to a minimum. This is good for Russell. .

Faced with various suggestions put forward by Florentino, Russell and Faus thought carefully. They had lunch together in the hotel room and continued talking for more than an hour in the afternoon. Finally, they finalized an agreement. Secret Agreement.

In other words, after the signing of this agreement, Messi and Iniesta nominally belong to Real Madrid. They will be bundled with a price of 120 million euros. After the transfer market opens on July 1, 2011, Official transfer to Real Madrid.

But Rosell also has a condition, that is, Real Madrid must not reveal a word about this secret agreement to the outside world, because he has his own set of operating plans, and he hopes to minimize the possibility of players transferring to Real Madrid. , the angry reaction of fans.

Florentino responded in the affirmative and also promised to help Russell with the loan.

After sending Russell and Faus away, Florentino laughed and looked at Yang Cheng, who had not said a word from beginning to end, From now on, La Liga in the next few years will belong to you!

Yang Cheng smiled and said, It belongs to Real Madrid!

Without Messi and Iniesta, coupled with the financial situation, it will be difficult for Barcelona to compete with Real Madrid. In other words, in the next few years, Real Madrid will completely dominate La Liga!

And Yang Cheng is also very confident that as long as Raul can inherit his tactical system and make some appropriate adjustments and improvements, in the next ten years, before Ronaldinho, Messi and other players age, Real Madrid will be the most powerful competitor in the Champions League and sweep Europa!

I really hope you stay and share the fruits of victory together! Florentino is very sincere. He and Yang Cheng had an agreement before. When the time is right, Yang Cheng will hand over the position to Raul .

Now it seems that after fulfilling this contract, the summer of 2012 will undoubtedly be the most appropriate time.

In fact, since last year, Yang Cheng has been consciously preparing for his future retirement. Florentino also knows this very well, but he is still reluctant to let him go like this.

I will fulfill my historical mission! Yang Cheng smiled and patted Florentino on the shoulder.

He is also looking forward to the changes brought about by Messi and Iniesta joining the team, because he also wants to know what it will be like to have the greatest stars on the planet playing for him together. .

It must be awesome, incredible!
