Chapter 747 Alpine Legacy
As a famous real estate tycoon in Europe, Florentino's skills and insights are far from comparable to those in football. This also made him replace Sans in 2000 and became the chairman of Real Madrid, and soon became the core member of the European giant club group G14.
With the help of the g14 platform, Florentino's relationship with many European giant teams is extraordinary, which has become a guarantee that he has always recruited superstars.
After coming to Milan City, he had dinner with Morati, Berlusconi, Galliani and others. Many things were negotiated at the dinner table, such as Inter Milan's transfer intentions.
After just finishing the talk with Kaka's father Bosco in the morning, Florentino made an appointment with Galliani for dinner at noon, planning to hold a three-party signing ceremony in the hotel conference room in the afternoon to officially reach an agreement.
Although it is just a secret agreement, as long as it is signed, Kaka basically belongs to Real Madrid.
A huge rock in his heart fell, and Florentino was in a very good mood. After an hour off lunch, he went to the conference room with Galliani, waiting for the arrival of Kaka and his son, while chatting and laughing.
The main topic is undoubtedly the current Serie A pattern.
"In the past two years, Morati has been following the strategy formulated by Gao Han. Over the past two years, the team's midfield and backcourt have been updated and iterated. Many players including Bonucci, Yaya Toure, Marcisio and Hamsik have gradually taken the lead and performed very well."
Speaking of this, Galliani's eyes were filled with envy and even a little jealousy.
These treasures are the legacy left over from the high and cold periods, and they have all become the pillars of Inter Milan today.
"It is precisely because of the metabolism of the midfield and backcourt that Inter Milan has set the team's goal this summer on the frontcourt trident, because they need to sell superstar players to cash out in exchange for a considerable amount of money to invest in the construction of the new stadium."
"After all, Morati has no money," Galliani said in a funny and helpless tone.
Morati is out of money, isn't Berlusconi too?
Italy's economy has not improved in recent years, and it has even become worse and worse, which has made Galliani deeply worried.
Without a strong economy as support, how can professional football be played?
What's more, the Serie A is far less open than the Premier League, and foreign investors are rarely interested in them.
"I can also feel it from my negotiations with Morati." Florentino agreed with Galliani's judgment.
"Even if Inter Milan sells the superstar in the frontcourt, they are still very sure of the Serie A in the new season."
"Yeah." Gagliani did not deny that "Gao Han left a solid foundation. Players such as Cambiaso, Adriano, Evra, Cesar and Macon are all in their years of playing. Young players such as Yaya Toure, Hamsik and Bonucci have grown rapidly and succeeded. Even if they really sell Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo, they will not have much impact on Inter Milan."
"I heard that they had already contacted Genoa's Argentine striker Diego Milito?" Florentino asked tentatively.
"There are rumors like this, but I don't know the specific one." Galliani smiled.
"Juventus has developed very quickly in the past two seasons, but to be honest, its foundation is still too weak. Whether it is the club's management ability or the overall strength of the team, it has not yet returned to the level before the relegation."
Galliani shook his head with a wry smile, "As long as Inter Milan continues to follow the route planned by Gao Han, no team can challenge their dominance in the next two or three years, and wait until their new stadium is completed..."
At the end of the story, Galliani suddenly shook his head and sighed, "Even though Gao Han has been away for two years, he is still in power in Serie A."
This is undoubtedly a very desperate thing.
Such words came from a person like Galliani, which made Florentino move.
There are many legends about Gao Han, and he is even far more than a head coach. Unfortunately, Florentino knew in his heart that Gao Han would not come to coach Real Madrid.
At least not for a short period of time.
Because after he met Jorge Mendes, the Portuguese agent clearly told Florentino that Gao Han had not considered returning to La Liga coaching in a short period of time, and politely declined Real Madrid's invitation.
It is precisely because of this that Florentino can't wait to handle the matter at hand, and immediately flew from Madrid to Milan, and personally handled the transfers of Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic.
Fortunately, everything is going well now.
Thinking of this, Florentino flipped his left wrist and looked at the time on the watch. The time agreed upon by both parties has come, but why hasn't Kaka and his son come yet?
Florentino frowned strangely, and Bardano, who was standing beside him, came over and asked in a soft voice: "Do you want me to call and ask?"
The Real Madrid president thought for a while and shook his head and said, "No, let's wait."
But the more I waited, the more I felt uneasy, and I always felt that something bad was about to happen.
After years of crossing the mall, Florentino has developed a keen sense of smell. He always feels that Bosco is very proactive in the morning and should come early in the afternoon. Why are he late?
He also had an ominous premonition in his heart, because he had been consciously or unintentionally leveraging the power of Gao Han.
This is a very normal thing at the business negotiation table, using information asymmetry to create a negotiation situation.
Once the agreement is signed with Kaka, even if Gao Han doesn't come, Real Madrid can make excuses and do their best, but Gao Han refuses to come to the Bernabeu to coach. This is the truth and can be said to be at ease, right?
But if it is...
Just as Florentino's thoughts arose, the door to the conference room was finally knocked.
After the door opened, I saw Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes standing outside the door alone.
He is also one of Kaka's agents, but he has never participated in this transfer negotiation from beginning to end.
This surprised Florentino and Galliani, who have always been good at observing their eyes, secretly surprised them.
"Sorry, Mr. Florentino, I feel very sorry. Kaka can't transfer to Real Madrid."
After all, it was Jorge Mendes, whose face was thicker than the city wall. When talking about such repentance, his face was not blushing or breathing, and he even felt a little natural.
Florentino's heart thumped and he screamed inwardly, indeed, the ominous premonition was fulfilled.
But on the surface, he still smiled like a gentleman, "Why? Jorge, is it because he is not satisfied with the contract treatment or the individual terms? It doesn't matter, we can talk about it again."
"No, no, Mr. Florentino, absolutely not." Mendes smiled and shook his head. "We are very moved by Real Madrid's sincerity and have no objection to treatment and terms, but..."
Florentino still looked at Mendes with a smile, waiting for him to continue talking.
"But... he really can't go to Real Madrid."
"Why?" Florentino asked with a smile.
As a famous real estate tycoon in Europe, even if he just stopped smiling, he was full of momentum while sitting there.
Who is Komendes?
How many strong winds and waves have I been used to in the past few years? Where can I be afraid?
"I believe Mr. Florentino is also very clear. Kaka has always wanted to play football under Gao Han's command, so he agreed to join Real Madrid. For the same reason, he can't play football at the Bernabeu now."
Jorge Mendes's words meant a bit of a counterattack, breaking Florentino's previous intentional or unintentional behavior, and clearly telling Florentino that it was not Kaka who regretted it, but that he was almost fooled by you before.
Florentino is not an ordinary person, and he knows that things are now irreversible.
From the first time he met Bosco, he knew very well that as long as Gao Han came forward, Kaka and his son would not have a second choice, so he mentioned Gao Han intentionally or unintentionally from beginning to end, and repeatedly emphasized that Real Madrid would do their best to invite Gao Han to coach.
Now it seems that Gao Han has come forward.
"Mr. Gao Han is also here in Milan?" Florentino asked with a smile.
Judging from his tone, it seemed that Gao Han had come to Milan and he must visit him.
"No, he is now Bilbao."
"Bilbao?" Florentino certainly knew this place, but he was a little curious about how Gao Han was there. It was also very strange. Since Gao Han was in Bilbao, how could he convince Kaka?
Mendes was also a smart person. He knew what Florentino wanted to ask in his eyes. He hesitated for a moment and nodded, "The Kaka and his son were already on the way to the hotel, but Gao Han called him."
"What did you say?" Galliani asked.
This is related to AC Milan's transfer income of 65 million euros. Once this income is lost, the Ross and Blacks will have no money to invest in transfer operations this summer, let alone the club's financial pressure will be greatly increased after leaving Kaka.
"Nothing." Mendes smiled at the two of them, "Gao Han just said that he was going to Manchester City and hoped that Kaka would also play in Manchester City. Kaka seemed to hesitate for no more than five seconds and agreed."
After saying that, Mendes laughed proudly.
It is indeed worth showing off, because looking at the whole of Europe, except Gao Han, no other person has the ability to mess up a superstar signing of more than 60 million euros in Real Madrid with just a phone call of less than a minute.
Florentino was also very helpless about this because his opponent was Gao Han.
The invincible Gao Han!
It can be said that as long as Gao Han comes forward, he will lose.
"I'm wondering about one thing, why would he rather choose Manchester City than come to our Real Madrid?" Florentino felt very unwilling to give up, and he wanted to know why.
If he wants to be sincere, he dares to say that he will definitely not be less than Manchester City, but why is it Manchester City, not Real Madrid?
"He is a very emotional person, Florentino, he is different from us." Mendes also rarely answered frankly.
In fact, the three big guys present were all the same type of people and businessmen.
But Gao Han is not.
Florentino understood it and knew that there was no negotiation.
Although he was very shocked, he could take it and let it go.
"Jorge, you probably have something to tell me, right?" Florentino sat back in his seat, waved his right hand, and was as arrogant as thousands of troops even as they came up.
Mendes was exposed and nodded with a wry smile: "I will notify you by the way that there is no way to continue the transfer negotiations of Cristiano Ronaldo for the time being."
With Kaka just now, Florentino was mentally prepared for Cristiano Ronaldo.
It was also the first time he felt that Real Madrid's golden signboard and the capital he was most proud of were not omnipotent.
Galliani, who was standing beside him, felt even more creepy.
This was the first time he personally experienced Gao Han's influence of turning hands into clouds and turning hands into rain with just one phone call.
