Chapter 35 The Contest with Moji

After saying goodbye to each other on the phone, he gently put down the phone, took a deep breath, relieved his depressed mood, and said to Karin, who looked worried on the side, "It seems that we are really going to lose Yuliano and Pesotto this summer."

"What should we do? With the team's current state, it is a foregone conclusion that Florence will have a Serie A next season. If we lose half of our defense, we may repeat the mistakes of last season."

Although Karin knew that it was probably not a good thing through Zhuang Mingge's previous words and expressions, she did not expect that the club would lose two defending generals at once.

"There's no other choice, Kalin, you call Giancarlo (Antonioni) first, so that he can get a shortlist of transfers to Fiorentina next season as soon as possible." Zhuang Mingge rubbed his frown and tried to relieve the pressure brought to him by Moji's conspiracy.

"Also, tell Moji that old fox, $6 million, to pay it in one lump sum, and tell him that we, Florence, will never accept the terms of installment payment. If he wants to talk to me, you tell him that I am very busy now and let him come back tomorrow."

"Okay, I've written it down. I'll inform General Manager Antonioni and Moji now." After that, Karin left the office, and the single ponytail tied behind her head swayed and swayed at her pace. With the women's suit Karin wore today, she added a touch of liveliness to her slightly serious look.

But Zhuang Mingge was not in the mood to appreciate this wonderful scene at this time. Now all his brain cells are used to deal with how to maximize the interests of Florence in this incident.

After learning the news, Antonioni did not rush to the office to question Zhuang Mingge, but ordered the scouting department to organize two pieces of information as quickly as possible: one piece of information stated the names of all players who may transfer to Fiorentina in the summer and their brief introduction, while the other piece of information was the information of all players in Juventus.

"Haha, the one who knows me is Antonioni." Zhuang Mingge casually said Chinese, which made the monk Antonioni who was sweating profusely confused: What country's language was the boss just now, and the pronunciation looked so strange.

Zhuang Mingge first looked through Juventus's player list and began to look for future stars who exist in his "memory".

The office was silent, with only the breathing of Zhuang Mingge and Antonioni and the sound of Zhuang Mingge turning the paper.

An hour later, Zhuang Mingge, who had finally read all the information, listed the names of some players and the clubs they currently play in a brief list and handed them to Antonioni, and told him to make some contact with these clubs first and see the possibility of introducing them before making the final decision.

After writing Juventus' player information on another piece of paper, he received it in the drawer of the desk. After doing this, Zhuang Mingge stretched:

"Everything is ready, and now it's just for tomorrow to come. Haha, Mr. Moji, since you are unkind first, don't blame me for being unrighteous."

Sure enough, I got into trouble with the time traveler, Juventus, do you still want to have a good life?

***************

The next morning, Moji came to Zhuang Mingge's office under Karin's guidance.

"Hello, Chairman Corleon. I am the new general manager of Juventus, Luciano Moji."

"I don't think it would be good for me to say hello to someone who deliberately ruined Florence." Zhuang Mingge looked unhappy and seemed impatient in his tone.

"Haha, I'm just a small club manager. How could I destroy Florence, which is controlled by the Corleon family? Mr. Chairman, you are so proud of me." Moji smiled twice, actively avoiding the fact that he had "spoken" Florence and directly entered the topic. "I came to Florence this time to determine the transfer fee for your side Pesotho and Uliano with Mr. Chairman."

"I remember what I said on the phone yesterday was very clear, $6 million was paid in one lump sum." Zhuang Mingge held his chest with his hands on his chest and leaned on the boss' chair without any image.

"Chairman Corleon, I think you know that $6 million is not a small amount. To be honest, our Chairman Gilaudo has always asked Juventus to maintain a balance in finance. The $6 million transfer expenses are likely to make this goal a fool." Moji put his arms on the table and looked helpless, but the pair of fox-like eyes showed their brilliance.

"Manager Moji, you should know that the Corleon family just agreed to Umberto (Agnelli)'s request to sell Pesotto and Uliano, but they did not reach any agreement on the transfer fee." Zhuang Mingge also stood up, and saw his hands on the table, launching a counterattack. "6 million US dollars, Juventus can afford the money. Anyone knows that Fiorentina has not made any trouble with Juventus on the transfer fee. If this transfer is not finally reached, then I will definitely not be the culprit."

"Let's do this, since Fiorentina does not accept installments, in order to show sincerity, we, Juventus, are willing to add a few young players interested in Fiorentina to offset part of the transfer fee. I wonder what Mr. Corleon wants to do?" Moji saw that the trick of using the Agnelli family banner was not good, so he immediately changed his method and tried to use a few players who were useless to Juventus to reduce part of the transfer fee, and by the way, he could also reduce his club's salary budget.

"That's great. I'm very interested in Juventus' young forward Del Piero. Why not just use him to offset the $2 million fee, so Juventus will only need to take out $4 million in cash. Mr. Moji, what do you think of this method?" When Zhuang Mingge heard the other party say this, he clapped his hands and said happily.

"Uh... this may not work. Piero is the player we are going to train for the big boss (Jani Agnelli). If I sell him to Fiorentina, I'm afraid I'll be fired after I go back." As soon as Moji heard Zhuang Mingge's answer, he knew something bad. Florence was obviously prepared. This young man was obviously not affected by his plan and his thinking was very clear.

Even young players like Piero, who are not famous, have noticed it. They are such a terrible opponent. Moji gave Zhuang Mingge this definition in his heart.

"Since Piero is impossible, then Manager Moji, which players do you plan to offset a portion of the transfer fee with Juventus? Is it Robert Baggio or Viali?"

"Uh, this, please let me think about it carefully..."

Moji carefully recalled the young players in Juventus. To be honest, Moji felt that besides Piero, the big boss is optimistic about, there are really no good talents in Juventus' youth team.

In fact, looking down on young players is a common problem for Moji. During his tenure as Juventus general manager, only Tacinadi and Piero were the local youth training teams that have gained a foothold in Juventus' first team. Almost all of the other good talents have become famous outside. Although Juventus is known for its large number of local players, most of these players are bought by Juventus after becoming famous outside, such as introducing Italian national goalkeeper Buffon in 2001, and buying Inzagi in the summer of 1997...

"That's it, except Piero, Fiorentina can choose any player of Juventus under the age of 20. I agree to use their transfer fee to offset a portion of the USD that Juventus has to pay."

"Okay! One word is determined!" Zhuang Mingge signaled Karin to write this condition into a written statement with legal effect, and took the lead in writing his name on the statement. "However, just in case, I still hope that this condition can be implemented on paper first."

"Haha, Chairman Corleon, you are really careful." Moji did not make too much thought. He took the paper and pen, brushed it a few times and signed his name in the statement, and then handed it back to Zhuang Mingge.

"Be careful of sailing for ten thousand years, especially when facing opponents like you, Manager Moji." Zhuang Mingge replied, then took out a list from the drawer of the desk, and then screened the players who meet the conditions one by one according to the names on the list, and listed the players who meet the conditions on another blank sheet. "The players on this sheet are all the scouts from our club, and Fiorentina hopes to take this opportunity to introduce them. As for the price, I think, we both have enough time to negotiate slowly."

Moji took the paper from Zhuang Mingsong suspiciously and looked carefully at the Juventus players mentioned above. Although he had no deep impression of these players, this did not prevent Moji from using these young people to bargain: "Since Chairman Corleone values ​​these young people so much, how much transfer fee is Fiorentina planning to pay for them?"

Zhuang Mingge stretched out two fingers and gestured in front of Moji's eyes.

"Two million dollars? No no, Chairman Corleon, these players are young people that our club is very optimistic about. It's too cheap to have a mere two million."

"What price is Mr. Moji going to offer for these people?"

"I think the total value of these young people selected by Fiorentina has even exceeded Pesotto and Uliano's value. However, in order to show sincerity, Juventus is willing to use these players to directly exchange your two main players."

What a cruel Moji, he really has a good plan! Zhuang Mingge's face was still smiling, but he cursed in his heart: Do you think I am the boss of Mo? I'm so stupid that I used Cannavaro to exchange for a substitute goalkeeper who couldn't play. Although several of these people do have the ability of top stars, from now on, if Zhuang Mingge really agreed to Moji, he would definitely be attacked by many fans of the "Bricks" and Zi Lily.

"That wouldn't work. Our club also needs this cash to fill the vacancy after Pesotto and Uliano left...why would you ask Manager Moji to mark the specific value for these players first, and then we will choose based on their price?"

This is an open and upright plot. Moji said too much before, and at the same time he had signed his name on the statement, and it was impossible to suddenly repent. So the old fox of Moji had to honestly mark the value of the 10 players on this list and raise the total amount to 6 million US dollars.

Since he had just returned to Juventus to serve, Moji was not very familiar with the players of his youth team. Without doing his "homework", he had to spread the transfer fee to these players equally, and then fine-tune it according to their position on the field.

Zhuang Mingge took a look at the list of "clear price tags", and with a curl of his lips, he quickly "selected" several players on the list.

When Moji saw Zhuang Mingge's choice, he was stunned. This young man was obviously choosing a bargain!
