"Jaime, how's it going outside?"

Since Lister publicly supported Roygue, Valencia's board of directors has changed dramatically. Among Valencia's directors were those who were attached to the Roig family and those who were attached to the Soler family. The Roig family is an old family in Valencia, while the Soler family is a new family that is relying on the real estate upward momentum, each with its own shili.

The strength of the two sides is about the same, with Roig himself controlling 34 percent of Valencia's shares, while Soler also has 31 percent of the shares. Combined with their respective stakes, both sides have about 434 percent support.

And the remaining 10 percent or so are neutral shareholders. They became Valencia shareholders with the simple aim of improving their position in Valencia. Of course, it is also to make some money with Valencia.

For them, they don't usually have much interest in board meetings. They don't care if Roig and Soler fight every day, they don't even attend some of the usual meetings. But when it comes to choosing the president of the club, they are smarter than anyone else. They are considering who should be chosen who is in their best interest. In the past, because Valencia's top management basically supported Otti, those neutral shareholders were also biased towards Otti.

After all, they don't want the club to be too turbulent. They remember that after Roig was ousted in '96, the mighty Valencia even needed to be relegated. They don't want that to happen, and if the club does get relegated, their pockets will be too much to lose. They still want a smooth transition for the club.

But it was at this time that Lister supported Royg. It makes this matter a lot more complicated. Whether it is to support the club's hierarchy or to support the team led by Rafael Benitez. Soler has no bottom now.

"The situation is not optimistic. Recently, Mr. Roig has been meeting with some shareholders frequently, and many shareholders have begun to support Mr. Royger. ”

"A pack of white-eyed wolves."

Hearing Ottie's words, Soler was furious. These bastards supported themselves not so long ago, and now Rist has just come out and started supporting Royg. A bunch of assertive bastards.

"What the hell did Francisco tell them?"

"The team is the key. Mr. Roig told them that if he loses, there will be a lot of turmoil in Valencia's team. By then, Valencia's results will definitely drop significantly. Many shareholders agree with Mr. Royger's words. ”

Ottie was a little helpless. In some small companies, once they encounter an economic crisis, the first to be laid off must be the executive leaders, and they must be the group of people with high salaries in the management. The first thing the boss wants to cut is them. But the club's jishu personnel, that is, the group of directors have always been dismissed by zuihou.

It's the same with football clubs. Usually. Among the Spanish clubs, it is these clubs that have a lot of influence at the top. They are in control of the club's business direction, and they have the transfer power. The strong club hierarchy can even compete with the club's majority shareholder. But it depends on when.

It is already evident in Valencia today. Either choose the club management or choose the team. For those neutral shareholders, the change in the club's management has been a bit turbulent, but it has been simple. As long as there is money anyway. It's still easy to find a few high-level people who manage the club. Even Roig himself has a whole bunch of people eyeing these positions. But the team is different. If you put Benitez to the player again. Then the club results are very problematic. So they began to lean towards Roygue.

Soler sat there with a gloomy face. After thinking for a while, suddenly daxiao said, "Francisco is old. Still using the old way, I let him know that he couldn't keep up with the situation anymore. ”

Ottie was stunned. Speaking of which, Ottie really doesn't like Soler. But Ottie himself had no way. Because his company is a small company that can only drink soup thanks to the construction group of the Soler family.

A rich second generation like Soler is a complete loser. Otti thinks he's a lot better than Soler, but there's no way around it. Otti used his own abilities to get to his current position step by step, while Soler grew up shouting the golden key and had a father who was a Valencian construction giant, so he was born with a higher starting point than them. So now he had to listen to Soler.

Seeing Soler's confident appearance, Ottie was very surprised. In this situation, Soler has failed. Because with Rist's support, more neutral shareholders are biased towards Royger. And if it weren't for the strength of the Soler family, there would be no shareholders to support him, the rich second generation. Now what else can Soler do at this time.

Seeing Ottie's surprised look, Soler was greatly satisfied. In fact, Soler knew that Otti and his father's old courtiers didn't look down on him, but Soler could only use them. Because their abilities are indeed very strong, he himself does not have his own loyal generals.

"Jaime, although we in Valencia have become a joint-stock club. But Francisco, their minds were stuck in the moment of membership. They treat these shareholders as members. Membership cannot be changed, but shareholders can change at any time. If he is a shareholder today, I can make him not a shareholder tomorrow. ”

Soler smiled "hey". Ottie was smart and immediately understood what Soler meant. Actually, it's not just Francesco. Lloig treats the presidential election as a membership-based election, and even Otti thinks so. It can be said that all the people who participated in the general election in Valencia did not come out of this dead end. This is true even for the newspapers that follow the election, and for Valencia fans.

Oh, yes. Again, this is not an election of members, and those shareholders become shareholders because they own shares in Valencia. If you don't have shares, you don't have voting rights, and if you don't have voting rights, then bullshit isn't. For the first time, Ottie looked at Soler, the rich second generation who was ridiculed and ridiculed by many people. Could it be that this kid is still obscure?

However, Ottie quickly remembered how Rist and Roig had made Benitez head coach, so he pushed the idea that had just popped up to his mind. Soler's character is clearly understood. So the joint tricked him, what kind of taoguang is obscure. It's just a moment of being smart and confused.

"But, Juan. It may take quite a bit of money. ”

Since Valencia's shareholding system, Valencia's shareholding situation has been relatively stable. Everyone has a head and a face, and it is easy not to sell their shares. If you want to buy someone else's shares at this time, it will take a lot of money, and you may even have to hemorrhage.

"The last thing I lack is money. Francisco, I make you completely hopeless. Rist, Benitez, huh! ”

Listening to Soler's words, Ottie shuddered. If there is no Soler. Then Otti can be considered to have won this election. He will also choose to appease and reconcile with Lister. Because now Rist's influence in Valencia is too great, if it is a one-size-fits-all approach, it is likely to cause great turmoil in Valencia.

But looking at Soler's face, Ottie knew how much Soler hated Riester. Otti believes that if Soler wins, Rist will be banned from Valencia. And Rister's Benitez, Vicente, Jankoller, and Jankulovsky will be slowly cleaned. Even players in the transfer trade who are involved in the middle of Rister will be implicated.

And Riester, who was gritted by Soler, was at this time in Rome to talk to Cragnotti about Nedved's contract. It's only the end of April. But Zidane's transfer news is already known throughout European football. In fact, Zidane's transfer was as early as last season. Florentino has already made contact with Juventus.

Zidane hasn't left yet, but Moggie is already looking for a replacement for Zidane. There are two candidates in front of Moggi, one is Lazio's Nedved. The other one is Mendieta in Valencia. He negotiated back and forth between the two of them, and the purpose was simple, that is, to keep the price down.

But Rist understood. Moggi had no idea of bringing in Mendieta at all, and the contact with Lazio was to suppress Nedved's price. Tell Lazio that Juve have other options. And Craniotti is also in a hurry now, because Nedved's contract is not long. Now if you leave Lazio, you won't be able to sell much.

Craniotti's business was starting to have some problems, and he certainly wanted Nedved to sell for a good price, just like Veron. Lazio have already negotiated a move for Veron with Manchester United, who bought him for more than 40 million euros. Cragnotti wanted to sell Nedved for such a high price, but unfortunately Juventus initially offered only 27 million euros. That's why he invited Rist to talk about Nedved's contract extension.

Craniotti certainly understands this, of course. But Rist is not at all refusing to renew his contract, as it is very important to maintain Nedved's image. It's entirely possible for Rist to tell the Lazio fans, as well as the rest of the Shijie fans, how loyal Nedved is. He later left Lazio not because he wanted to go, but because Lazio wanted to sell him.

"Sergio, I know what you think. I won't be involved in the transfer fee, and I won't follow outsiders to suppress Pavel's transfer fee. With this contract signed, you should have an idea of how much more Lazio can charge for the transfer fee. ”

Moggi wants to win Nedved for around 30 million euros, but Zuihou will definitely sell for more than 40 million euros. And what makes the transfer fee so high must be because of the renewal contract signed by Riester today. Without this contract extension, Rist helped Juventus suppress Nedved's transfer fee, and Nedved couldn't sell it for a high price. Now that is not the case with Lister, of course, he intends to facilitate a high transfer fee. Lazio eats meat, and Rister at least has to drink soup with it.

Craniotti sighed, his face dark. If it weren't for the problems in his business, he really didn't want to do this. One by one, the stars are leaving, which makes Craniotti very frustrated. He also understood what Rist meant. Rist is now playing with him for a performance fee.

"Two million euros."

Rist smiled slightly at Craniotti's words. The contract was used to bargain with Moggie, and Rist helped Cragnotti act for two million euros. And after Nedved really transferred to Juventus, Rist also had a huge commission. It's a no-lose deal. So he nodded slowly.

"Okay."

On April 27, 2001, Nedved, who had been in the midst of transfer scandals, signed a lifetime contract with Lazio. This is a five-year contract with an annual salary of 3.2 million euros. By the time this contract ends, Nedved will be thirty-four years old. It's basically a lifetime contract.

All the Lazio fans sang and danced because Lazio was finally able to keep Nedved. Even many football insiders were surprised that Nedved would choose to stay at Lazio. Many reporters with inside information are also puzzled by what exactly is happening now.

Only Moggie was not angry but showed an elusive smile after Turin heard the news of Nedved's contract renewal. (To be continued......)
