Located in the middle of the northern basin of France, across both sides of the Seine River, Paris is the capital of France, the largest city in France, and the political, economic and cultural center of France. Parisian perfume is known all over the world, known as the "dream industry", and is regarded as a national treasure by the French.

However, Zhuang Mingge and Karin obviously did not have time to enjoy the dreamy perfumes and exquisite clothes of Paris during their visit to Paris.

Before leaving for Paris, Karin informed the president of Paris Saint-Germain, Bernard Blochaende, by phone, that Mr. Paris Saint-Germain, who knew the identity of Zhuang Mingge, sent his right-hand man, Michel Denisot, to the train station to greet the two "distinguished guests".

"Hello Mr. Corleone, I'm Michel Denisot, the general manager of Paris Saint-Germain, and it's a pleasure to meet you here, and I'll be in charge of the transfer of David Ginola, which I talked about on the phone." A slightly bald, but very capable middle-aged man saw Zhuang Mingge and Karin on the train platform, and immediately stepped forward to greet Zhuang Mingge, with a smile on his face, "This is Miss Sigran, right?" Hello, now I am leading the two of you to the headquarters of our club, and I have prepared the car for the two of you. ”

So Zhuang Mingge and the two went to the headquarters of the Paris Saint-Germain club, accompanied by Michel.

Paris Saint-Germain was born in 1970, but it wasn't until 1973 that the French fashion designer Daniel Hedget, a football enthusiast, was funded by Luxembourg TV.

After the team was formed, due to the regulations of the French football league at that time: the same city team, only one team could stand in the first division at the initial stage of the league. At that time, there were many teams in Paris, including the old team Paris Red Star, Paris Athletic and Paris FC, which was born a year earlier, and the only opponent who could compete with Paris Saint-Germain for qualification in the first division was Paris FC. However, due to the registration of Paris FC a year earlier, Paris Saint-Germain was at a competitive disadvantage and was placed in the French third division (third division) by the Football Association.

PSG finished runners-up in their first season in the third division (1972-73). At this time, Paris Saint-Germain was promoted to the second division due to the disqualification of the team that won the championship due to financial problems. After promotion, PSG reinstated their status as a professional team, finishing runners-up in the second division in their first season and beating Valencian in the play-offs to promote to the first division. Interestingly, the Paris FC club was relegated to the second division in the same year.

After Paris Saint-Germain was promoted to the first division in 1974, the legendary French goalscorer Fontaine was invited to coach, and the team quickly established itself in the first division and never relegated.

During this period, PSG won a total of one Ligue 1 title (1985-86 season) and three French Cups. In the early 80s, psychology professor Pelucci was at the helm of the team, leading the team to consecutive French Cup titles in 1982 and 1983; In the 1985/86 season, manager Houllier led the club to a historic league title, and the club went 26 consecutive league games unbeaten that season. Stars such as winger Rochetto have joined the team one after another. Paris Saint-Germain contributed five internationals to France, who won the European Championship in 1984, four of whom became members of the 1984 European Championships.

Although the rise of Marseille blocked the progress of Paris Saint-Germain, in the 1992-1993 season, Paris Saint-Germain successfully broke into the top 4 of the UEFA Cup, which can be called a powerhouse in European football.

Sitting in the luxurious elongated Lincoln, Zhuang Mingge recalled the history of Paris Saint-Germain, while Karin sat next to Zhuang Mingge, lightly coping with Michel's temptation, and at the same time using some brisk topics to mediate the slightly tense atmosphere in the car, so when the car arrived at the destination, the atmosphere between the two sides seemed very friendly.

But when the two sides entered the conference room and sat down in turn, the atmosphere of harmony and friendship was swept away, and the two sides began to bargain over the transfer fee of David Ginola:

"David [Ginola] has always been a regular player for our club, his talent is unquestionable, and I ask Fiorentina to pay him a minimum of $15 million." Michelle sat down on one side of the conference table and began to ask for skyrocketing prices.

"But the fact that Ginola made such a low-level mistake in that crucial match between France and Bulgaria proves that he is very poor psychologically, and Fiorentina will not pay such a high transfer fee for such a player, up to 3 million." Zhuang Mingge made a calm counteroffer.

Both sides are very clear that with Ginola's current image in the eyes of the French media and fans, he will inevitably leave France, and this meeting is just to allow the two clubs to agree on the specific transfer fee, Zhuang Mingge and Michel are also very aware that the negotiations are just beginning, and this kind of sky-high asking price and repayment on the spot is very normal, so there is no blood to argue with each other.

"3 million? Impossible, the transfer fee of Brian Laudrup, which your club sold this year, also reached $4 million, how can Ginola be cheaper than this player who can't even play at AC Milan! Michelle gestured with her hand to a number, "At least $12 million." ”

"$12 million? Are you Ginola Vialli or Robert Baggio? Such an insane price that only the Agnelli family and Berlusconi would have paid! Zhuang Mingge did not hesitate to start bargaining, "A player who has not proven his strength in Serie A is not worth so many dollars, 5 million US dollars!" ”

"$8 million! Ginora is definitely worth the price! Michelle was also a little dizzy, he had never seen such a downward bargain, and he cut his offer by more than half at once.

If Zhuang Mingge knew what Michelle was thinking at this time, he would definitely refute disappreciatively: That's because you have never been to the vegetable market of the Celestial Empire to buy vegetables, and the level of bargaining of those uncles and aunts who buy vegetables in the vegetable market is much better than himself.

"Michelle, let's just give it a step, $6.5 million! If I want one more, I'll buy someone else. Zhuang Mingge stood up from his seat and gave Zuihou an offer.

"This ......" Michelle hesitated a little, after all, $6.5 million is still a certain gap from the club's psychological bottom line, but this is also the highest offer the club has received for Ginola, "Well, I need to report this offer to our club's president, and I can only give you an answer after he agrees, what do you think?" ”

"That's it, Mr. Michelle, and I hope your club will give me an answer as soon as possible." Zhuang Mingge couldn't force the other party to accept his offer, so he had to sit back in his chair stupidly.

After seeing Zhuang Mingge and Karin leave the headquarters of Paris Saint-Germain, Michel quickly called his boss, who is the chairman of Paris Saint-Germain, Bernard: "Bernard, Fiorentina made an offer of $6.5 million for David (Ginola) kid, I think this is already their bottom line, and now no team is willing to offer a higher price for this kid, do you think we should agree to this offer?" ”

"Hehe, what a coincidence, Michelle, I just received an offer for Ginola, it's the team of those Englishmen across the Channel, you listen to the price, I'm sure you'll think Fiorentina's $6.5 million is nothing." Bernard's hearty laughter rang out from the microphone.

"Oh, is it? What kind of offer did those Brits make? ”

Michelle held the microphone with an indifferent expression, he didn't think that these British clubs that had been banned for many years had enough financial resources to compete with the Italians, and after he heard a number, Michelle's expression changed, and his face was full of excitement:

"Oh my God! Where did they get so much money? ”
