Pini ofli Harvey appeared in Saint-Etienne, France, and sat opposite Romeyer.

With a kind smile, the Israelis looked at the French in front of them, and couldn't help but think of the joke that Young Master Huan said yesterday.

Three pieces of advice for smart men: don't play mahjong with your mother-in-law; Don't sleep with women who think more than you; Don't start a company with your best friend, the last one is the strictest.

At this moment, Romeyer, the president of Saint-Etienne, sitting in front of him, is a prime example.

In French football, when it comes to Saint-Etienne, most people are surprised by the team's double chairmanship.

Interestingly, Romeyer and Callazzo both hold 50 percent of the club's shares.

Before the acquisition of the club in 2004, they were very good friends, but after the acquisition of Saint-Etienne, the two broke out one conflict after another, and in the end, instead of being friends, they became enemies.

It is only in the last two years that the shape has improved, but the contradictions between the two sides are still obvious.

There is now a clear division of labour between the two sides, with Romeyer in charge of the team's sporting, financial and personnel appointments, including the head coach.

Kayazo, on the other hand, is in charge of the day-to-day running and supervision of the team.

Those who are familiar with Saint-Etienne know that if you go to Kayazzo to talk about a transfer, and you negotiate it on your side, and Romeyer immediately comes out to oppose it, it will definitely not work.

And if it is to talk about commercial cooperation, then it is useless to find Romeyer, and Callazzo has a veto.

Pini Ofli Xavi knew this very well, so he appeared in front of Romeyer.

"I'm here this time, on behalf of Mr. Yang Huan" Pini ofli Harvey immediately brought out his backer.

Yang Huan, who in the world doesn't know?

"We have just completed the acquisition of Monaco"

Romeyer was slightly surprised, he had received information that Monaco had been bought by foreign capital.

But he didn't expect that it was Yang Huan from Southampton behind him.

The Chinese seems to be following Abramovich's example, only to become more secretive.

"When we were sorting out Monaco's finances, we found out that Saint-Etienne had a transfer arrears of two million euros that had expired, so Mr. Yang Huan entrusted me to find out the situation."

As he spoke, Pini Ofli Harvey also took out a letter of authorization in a similar manner.

Romeyer hurriedly took it with both hands, glanced at it casually, and politely returned it to Pini ofli Harvey.

Although the reputation of the Israelis in European football circles is not very good, at least they are the number one person, and it is impossible to fake.

Romeyer said with a smile: "Mr. Zahavi, it is true that there is a balance of two million euros, but we have already communicated with Monaco in advance, and besides, the transfer market, you also know that we are a small team, and we have not sold players in the transfer market this summer, and we dare not bring them in." ”

After a pause, the Frenchman smiled wryly in embarrassment.

"Two million euros, can it be delayed a little longer?"

Pini ofli Xavi certainly knows that the Ligue 1 team is indeed quite poor.

For a team like Saint-Etienne, there is not enough money to bring in players without selling them.

Their biggest income over the course of a season is the Ligue 1 broadcast fee share, plus matchday revenue.

Can you run a team, which one doesn't cost money?

Therefore, two million euros is a drop in the bucket for the European giants, but for them, it is a huge amount of money.

"According to the agreement between the two teams when Rufel transferred last year, it will be paid in three installments within a year, but you Saint-Etienne only paid the first installment, and the second and third installments are still in arrears, I'm afraid it's not a delay, right?"

Pini ofli Harvey spoke, his waist straight, and his tone was a little heavy.

After all, you are in possession.

Think about the beginning, you took advantage of Monaco's downgrade, fell into the trap of them, and did everything possible to poach them.

Okay, now Monaco is in disarray with you, but you don't even owe a transfer fee, is that like a word?

Romeyer was a little embarrassed, Rufeel is a homegrown goalkeeper cultivated by Monaco and a popular candidate for the national team, and he is young, if it wasn't for Saint-Etienne's strong temptation to poach, he may not be able to bring in.

However, as soon as he saw the other party's tough attitude, Romeyer was a little bitter.

Who is Pini Ofli Harvey?

In the past few years, it has been a little low-key, but if it was in the past few years, it would have been a big name in European football.

It's too late for him to praise such a character, and he dares to offend?

Not to mention that there is still a big local tyrant Young Master Yang Huan standing behind the family

Pini ofli Harvey looked at Romeyer's expression and knew it.

"Last season, Saint-Etienne finished seventh in Ligue 1, and the broadcast fee was divided into at least 30 million euros, which should not be bad money."

Romeyer's face became a bitter melon, "Mr. Zahavi, don't you know the difficulties of our small team, what kind of money does it take to run a team now?"

Although Saint-Etienne plays in France, there is always some cost to get to the away stadium, right?

There is a round-trip fee, right?

The staff of the club ask for a salary, right?

Which one doesn't cost money?

Three or four thousand euros is not enough for a small team

Pini ofli Harvey listened, and smiled, "You and Callazo are both rich people, two million euros is not a small amount, but for you, it is not much, a million euros per person ......"

Speaking of which, Pini ofli Xavi deliberately paused, "Or, I'll invite Kayazzo to talk about it, two million euros, he should be able to afford it." ”

"No," Romeyer shook his head almost without hesitation.

Just kidding, the two have been arguing for four or five years, and now they have finally reached a de-escalation situation, how can this kind of thing happen again?

In the beginning, Callazzo's shares were 52 percent, and after Romeyer took over, the two sides negotiated many times for the shares, and finally reached a consensus that each party would hold 50 percent of Saint-Etienne.

If you let Kayazo pay for it now, it will definitely be exchanged for shares, and at that time, your shares will not be as good as Callazzo, and won't he be trampled on his head in the future?

As for saying that the two of them each contributed one million euros, it's not impossible, it's just ......

Pini ofli Harvey knew it.

When the two of them bought Saint-Etienne, it was originally a debt acquisition, otherwise, they would have bought Saint-Etienne for a little money, and they still need two good friends to buy it together?

Over the years, they've been paying off their debts, a bit like the Glazer family's takeover of Manchester United.

It's just that Saint-Etienne is not as well-known as Manchester United

When the Israelites didn't speak, Romeyer's heart was under a lot of pressure.

No way, people are poor and short of breath

"Mr. Zahavi, why don't you talk to Mr. Yang Huan? Or, in this way, we Saint-Etienne will be satellites for Southampton, and help the Saints develop young players for free, and you will have a proper year...... Hey, you know."

Pini ofli Harvey certainly understands.

In this year, you have to give some subsidies a year, ranging from tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands of euros.

Pini ofli Harvey listened, first sighed deeply, and then shook his head heavily.

"It's not that I don't help you, but you don't know the person Young Master Huan, he does things most neatly, he doesn't like to drag the mud and water, especially he doesn't like others to owe him, even if he really wants to cooperate, then he has to pay the transfer fee first."

Romeyer listened depressedly.

If he wasn't really afraid that the other party would go to the French league to complain, he would reply directly to the truth, if there is no money, can human flesh be eaten?

But he didn't dare

"Ahem" Pini ofli Harvey sighed again, "That's not that I won't help you, I'll give you a trick"

"Well, well, you say, you say" Romeyer immediately came to his senses.

Pini ofli Harvey looked left and right, as if he were a thief.

'I have a good relationship with the scouts at Southampton and I've heard them talk about your players before.

"Who?" Romeyer's heart tightened.

The Israelis had been paying close attention to Romeyer's expression, and he was secretly amused by his shrewdness.

"Kurt Kurt Kurt Kurt Zouma and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang"

"Huh?" Romeyer was immediately stunned.

Kurt Kurt Kurt Zouma is a product of Saint-Etienne's academy, a very promising homegrown talented centre-back, who is now only 17 years old.

As for Aubameyang, the Gabonese player, now 23 years old, was originally loaned by Saint-Etienne from AC Milan, but half a year ago, the team saw that he was doing well, so they bought him out.

The buyout price was very cheap, only one million euros.

Pini ofli Harvey had already figured it out.

Young Master Huan originally named Kurt Zouma, saying that the talented Saint-Etienne central defender was worth two million euros, and he used it to make up the amount.

But Pini ofli Harvey felt that as long as there was one Zuma, he couldn't show his ability.

So, he took it upon himself to ask for an extra Aubameyang.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is Saint-Etienne's main striker with very good pace, scoring 16 goals in 36 games in the past season, and the player has also been loaned to Monaco for a season by AC Milan.

If you want to talk about genius, Aubameyang can also be regarded as a genius, otherwise, AC Milan can't look down on it.

Presumably, Young Master Huan shouldn't mind a few more

Buy one get one free, Young Master Huan will definitely be happy

Just when Pini Ofli Harvey was happily thinking about how to ask for credit, Romeyer was in a dilemma.

On one side is two million euros in cash, and on the other side is Kurt Zouma and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

How to choose?

Pinili Harvey looked at Romeyer's expression and decided to add more firewood, so he sighed and stood up directly.

"Forget it, forget it, just when I didn't say it"

As soon as he saw the Israelis stand up, Romeyer panicked.

"I'll go back to Monaco now and tell Young Master Huan, I won't interfere in this matter, you can do it yourself"

Romeyer was dumbfounded.

Is this to let Yang Huan take action by himself?

Obediently, what level of character is Yang Huan?

The British media have said that millions and tens of millions of people are smashed at every turn, and two million euros is in his eyes?

If you are annoyed by this kind of trivial matter, and when you get angry, you will directly sue the Ligue 1 alliance, so how can you clean it up?

Besides, I still want to climb the high branches and cooperate with Southampton in youth training

Thinking of this, Romeyer gritted his teeth and stomped his feet

"Mr. Zahavi, it's done"

At this moment, his heart was dripping blood

Kurt Kurt Zouma and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are not well-known in European football right now, but they have a good reputation in Ligue 1.

Even if they are sold, both players are worth at least more than two million euros.

Forget it, anyway, Aubameyang was only 1 million euros half a year ago, so Zouma also sold 1 million euros

Although he lost a little, if he could get in touch with Yang Huan, it would ......

Thinking of this, Romeyer immediately grabbed Pini Ofli Xavi, and asked the other party to say a few more good words, which led to the youth training cooperation between Southampton and Saint-Etienne.

Pini ofli Harvey nodded with a smile and agreed, indicating that he would definitely help speak.

As for whether it will work out or not, who knows?
