Yang Huan didn't know that in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, there were two people plotting to sell door-to-door.

Because he's in the middle of a negotiation right now.

Sitting across from him was Leverkusen's chairman, Wolfgang? Holzhauser, and Bayer Leverkusen's sporting director Rudy? Worrall, and Yang Huan was flanked by his assistant Zhang Ning, and the team's executive chairman, Nikola? Cortez.

In the middle of the two sides, the Italian agent predator Raiola, and the player Arturo? Vidal's agent, Felicevich.

It was a very formal transfer negotiation in a luxury box on the second floor of Southampton's Wangjiang Court.

After the renovation, the Wangjiang Pavilion has been completely renovated, not only the interior has been renovated with a traditional Chinese flavor, but the exterior environment also borrows the scenery along the Teste River, as well as the view of the IAH headquarters and yacht marina next door.

Wangjiang Pavilion is not only a high-end Chinese restaurant, but also a good place to enjoy the scenery.

The luxurious box on the second floor where Yang Huan and the others were at this moment happened to be facing the Teste River.

Long before the start of this negotiation, Bielsa had already given Arturo ? Vidal made a phone call.

Persuaded by the Argentine madman, Vidal offered to join Southampton to play for his former Chilean national team, and Southampton promised to double his salary.

After doubling it, Vidal's annual salary is only two million euros.

Good quality and low price, this is the characteristics of the current Bundesliga players, the current record of the highest transfer fee in the entire Bundesliga is Bayern Munich last year to introduce Gomez, spending 35 million euros, which is already sky-high in the Bundesliga.

And this summer, the transfer bid of the Bundesliga is Mesut Ozil, and the core of Werder Bremen's midfield was brought in by Real Madrid for 18 million euros because of his shine in the World Cup.

Compared with other European leagues, especially the English league, which often cost tens of millions of transfer fees, Bundesliga players are quite inexpensive in terms of transfer fees and annual salary requirements.

This also has a lot to do with the fact that Bundesliga teams generally pay more attention to health management.

But that doesn't mean it will be easy for Southampton to bring in Vidal.

On the contrary, Bayer Leverkusen did not want to let go of the Chilean midfielder at all, so they bit the price very hard.

The high price of 30 million euros was directly offered.

"That's our bottom line, if you want to get Vidal, you have to give 30 million." The white-bearded Worrall showed a very resolute attitude from the start.

30 million euros, which is also the termination fee of Vidal's current contract.

In other words, if Southampton want to get Vidal, they will have to pay a release fee.

Southampton has also been fully mentally prepared for the difficulty of the negotiation, and has carried out a lot of intelligence and information collection for this purpose, especially Raiola, who has been hugging Yang Huan's thick thigh recently, is even more hard.

"Mr. Worrall, before the negotiations begin, it is necessary for us to inform you that we have reached an agreement with the Colo Colo club that we will buy 30 percent of the ownership of Vidal from the Colo Colo club for five million euros."

Nikolai? Cortez smiled and took Worrall's words.

"In other words, Vidal is now a player that belongs to Bayer Leverkusen and Southampton."

Both Holzhauser and Worrall were shocked, how did Southampton know about this?

You know, when Vidal was brought in from Colo Colo in '07, Bayer Leverkusen only got 70 percent of the ownership, and the remaining 30 percent was still in Kolo Kolo's hands.

According to the agreement reached between Southampton and Colo Colo, they value Vidal at around 16 million euros.

The price is quite reasonable.

However, it is far from the psychological price of Bayer Leverkusen.

Everyone knows that Southampton is the big money in the transfer market this summer, and if they don't take the opportunity to slaughter them, they are sorry for themselves, and they are embarrassed to say it.

Unexpectedly, they were so shrewd and took 30% ownership of Kolokolo first, which undoubtedly put Leverkusen in a very passive situation in negotiations.

Yang Huan still remembers that the reason why Juventus was able to bring in Vidal for 12 million euros in the previous life was largely because there was only one year left on the contract between Vidal and Bayer Leverkusen.

Bayer Leverkusen didn't want Vidal to go to Bayern Munich on a free transfer, so they had to sell it cheaply.

Therefore, the transfer fee from that negotiation is not worth learning from now.

'Mr. Holzhauser, don't doubt our sincerity in bringing in Vidal, I believe the player is also interested in joining Southampton.' Yang Huan looked confident.

It can be said that sitting at the negotiating table, when Southampton threw out 30% ownership of Colo Colo, Leverkusen's sale was a foregone conclusion, and the key was how much to sell.

"I don't like to be verbose, I don't have time to waste, in a word, I am willing to take 70% of the ownership of Vidal in your hands, I am willing to take it for 13 million, you think about it."

Raiola is indeed a very shrewd transfer transaction expert, and his style of taking the initiative everywhere caters to Yang Huan's taste, because the last thing Yang Huan likes is to be controlled by others.

Neither did Holzhauser and Worrall expect that the transfer negotiations they thought would be difficult or even protracted would turn out to be the way they are now.

With 13 million euros, Vidal is worth 18 million, which is about the same as when Mesut Ozil moved to Real Madrid, which is already within the acceptable range of Bayer Leverkusen.

For Southampton, it is also acceptable, as Ozil has one year left on his contract before moving to Real Madrid.

If Vidal is brought in at this time next year, I believe Southampton can take the opportunity to lower the price, but the problem is that Southampton wants it now, so they have to continue to carry it with Bayer Leverkusen.

Holzhauser knew in his heart that Vidal would not be sold today.

Looking at Worrall again, the latter also gave a secret look.

So, the chairman of Leverkusen looked at Yang Huan again, "Then I will say a word, fifteen million." ”

"Deal!" Yang Huan made a decision on the spot.

"But I don't want to see any strings attached to the transfer contract!"

20 million euros, this price to introduce Vidal, Southampton does not lose!

At the very least, Yang Huan, who knows Vidal's strength, knows very well that this deal is worth it.

…………

…………

After the transfer price was finalized, some other details were handed over to Nikola? Cortez went to take charge.

However, there are still many issues that need to be negotiated.

Yang Huan was not interested in these things, and walked out of the luxury box, leaving Zhang Ning to assist Nikolai? Cortez continued to negotiate.

Raiola also came out.

The two went down to the first floor, out of the restaurant, and into the open-air restaurant by the river.

Finding a place to sit next to a lamppost and a railing, Raiola looked at the Chinese restaurant with interest.

He has traveled a lot and visited many Chinese restaurants, but this one is undoubtedly the most upscale.

The high-end of Wangjiang Pavilion does not lie in how luxurious it is decorated, on the contrary, its decoration is very simple, but it is attentive everywhere, with the scenery of the riverside, giving people a light and elegant, quiet and noble charm.

"I've heard that you're planning to open a soft opening for seven days for season ticket holders in Southampton for free?"

Raiola sometimes doesn't understand Yang Huan's approach, and always feels that he never seems to want to make money.

But if you think about it carefully, you feel that what he does seems to be very meaningful.

It's as if he bought Southampton, and only spent a total of 15 million pounds, but he can build a large number of construction and build training bases, and the recent increase in the budget has reached 50 million pounds, and this summer, the team has brought in Ibrahimovic, Neymar, James? Players such as Rodriguez, if you count Vidal, are very recruited.

At first glance, he was burning money, but the problem is that he has attracted the attention of all over England, and even the world.

Following the introduction of Ibrahimovic, shirt sponsor Umbro has promised to raise the sponsorship fee to £5 million a year, and Southampton are now only willing to sign with Umbro for one year.

I still remember that when Yang Huan was negotiating with the CEO of Umbro, he directly explained the reason.

"Because we're going to raise prices next year!"

This sentence reveals his strong confidence in the team's promotion and the team's strength.

Yang Huan looked at Raiola, this fat man is indeed a very capable assistant, without him, Vidal's transfer negotiations would not have been so smooth, and Southampton might even have to beg for help.

He's a rare talent.

"There is a saying in my hometown, if you want to make money at the beginning, I believe that there will be many, many rich people in this world, and many, many great companies will no longer exist."

Raiola agrees, and it is.

"In another context, if we were a big team, like Manchester United, with this level of reinforcements, what do you think would happen to the media?"

When Raiola heard this, he first wanted to say it, of course, it was also hype, but soon he understood the deep meaning of Yang Huan's words.

Yes, it is normal for giants like Manchester United to bring in superstars like Ibrahimovic, and even Neymar, and the media will also hype it, but after the hype, they will tend to be flat.

The reason is very simple, in Manchester United, even if Ibrahimovic is introduced, the most valuable thing about this team is the golden sign of Manchester United, not Ibrahimovic.

Under the glory of Manchester United, the sensational effect created by Ibrahimovic's transfer is actually greatly reduced.

But Southampton is different, the Saints are in League One, the third tier of England, such a league, a team, but the introduction of the world's number one center forward, which in itself is something that countless people feel incredible, even shocked.

So what will they do next?

Concern!

Both sides for and against will continue to focus on Southampton and Ibrahimovic.

It's just that supporters want to see them succeed and prove their foresight, while opponents want to wait until they fail and then fall into the trap.

"In this era, it is necessary to do something different from others, and as football, if you want to attract more fans, you have to give fans the capital to be proud."

"You're in the lower leagues, you're a very weak team, it doesn't matter, as long as you give the fans the capital to be proud of, they will be loyal to you as always."

"It's like a few years ago, Manchester City was poor, but in Manchester, there are still a lot of local fans who support Manchester City and Manchester United, why? A group of poor people who can't afford to buy tickets for Manchester United choose to support Manchester City, and then say, we choose to support tradition, unlike Manchester United, which has become completely commercial. ”

It was the first time Raiola had heard this kind of understanding, because in the past everyone thought it was a kind of faith.

"Manchester City's heritage has given their fans the capital of narcissism and pride, so they look down on Manchester United, even if Manchester United is good, so what? Can you compare Manchester United to Manchester City more than 100 years ago? ”

To this day, Manchester City fans are still slamming Manchester United, believing that more than 100 years ago, Manchester United, which was still a fish belly team at that time, rose by poaching the talents of Manchester City, a powerful team that was already famous at that time.

More than a hundred years ago, the tradition became their narcissism and hit the capital of their opponents.

"Again, Liverpool and Everton, isn't that all the same?"

"In the early years, Chelsea became rich and became a mob, many people said that they had no tradition, but Chelsea fans are still very narcissistic, because they have money and can smash stars as much as they want, so they look down on those who talk about tradition, thinking that it is because of the current failure, so they will use the past tradition as an excuse to masturbate."

"The logic of the previous business society was how to give your customers benefits, so everyone was crazy to fight price, cost, and quality, but now the business logic is how to give your customers narcissistic capital, so we must fight innovation, experience, and participation."
