Chapter 1563 Take Them All Down
For Jorge Mendez's brokerage company, Li Mu does not expect to hold a controlling stake. For a free economic company like him, controlling itself is meaningless. The best way is to tie him up with interests and be willing to use it for himself.
Jorge Mendes listened to Li Mu's words and understood in his heart what Li Mu really wanted. 20% of the shares just wanted his sincerity. Li Mu didn't look down on the benefits that could be reflected in the 20% of the shares. , all he wants is to make himself stand in line.
Although Li Mu has only just entered the Premier League market and just bought a second-tier club like Manchester City, Jorge Mendes is unswervingly ready to take his entire family on Li Mu's boat, he knows that he will continue to mingle. In European football, in the end, he is just a top football agent, and there will be no other development possibilities, but if he becomes Li Mu's partner, it will open up unlimited potential and possibilities for the future.
So, Jorge Mendes said to Li Mu almost without hesitation: "Mr. Li, I have no opinion on your cooperation plan, and I also look forward to in-depth cooperation with you."
Li Mu nodded with a smile and said, "Then it's settled. If I have the players I want in the future, I will give them all to you to help me solve them."
Jorge Mendes immediately agreed and said, "No problem at all, you can ask your legal counsel to give me a template for the equity transfer agreement, and I can sign it at any time."
Li Mu was very satisfied with Jorge Mendes' attitude, and said with a smile: "This is not in a hurry, I will let people prepare, and then wait for Cristiano's transfer back to the contract to sign together."
"Okay!" The excitement on Jorge Mendes' face was beyond words, and he said excitedly: "I will communicate with Manchester United later today, and tomorrow your CEO can go to Manchester United to solve the follow-up problems."
After that, Jorge Mendes said again: "By the way, Mr. Li, I guess that with Sir Alex Ferguson's behavior, he will not be willing to suffer such a dumb loss, which means that he is likely to do everything possible. If they want to keep Cristiano at Manchester United and prevent Manchester City from triggering his release clause, they will most likely appeal to the FA. If they do, it will be a wrangling process. If you really do your best to keep Cristiano, then there's a good chance the FA will drag it out until the summer transfer window closes."
Li Mu frowned and asked, "Is there such an operation?"
"Theoretically it is feasible." Jorge Mendes said very seriously: "Manchester United has a very strong style of action, not only Ferguson, but also the capital side behind Manchester United, their relationship network and influence in the UK are all Very strong, even if it is a reasonable operation based on the contract, they can make up a reason to complain or protest to the FA, so we have to prepare for this in advance.
"
Li Mu pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and thought to himself, if Manchester United really wanted to play like this, then he would ask Prince William to help himself, and then leave this matter to the royal family to solve it. If they can't even handle this trivial matter, then I have to re-examine my future cooperation with them.
Immediately, Li Mu said to Jorge Mendes: "I will prepare for this matter. If they do this, I will not let them succeed."
Jorge Mendes nodded. He naturally believed in Li Mu's strength. In fact, he already had a solution in mind for this matter. Li Mu could get the incomparably precious GBE medal from the royal family, which represented the royal family and Li Mu. The relationship between the two must be very close. Perhaps the royal family is very eager to have a closer relationship with Li Mu. With the help of the British royal family behind the scenes, the FA can still solve this trivial matter.
However, Jorge Mendes also knows that although he knows the solution to this kind of thing, it is best not to take the initiative to say it in front of Li Mu at the moment. Teach Li Mu to do things by himself, and Li Mu can probably think of asking the royal family for help. If Li Mu really can't think of this, he will remind him vaguely.
After negotiating the transfer of Ronaldo and the cooperation between Makino Technology and Jorge Mendes, Li Mu said to Jorge Mendes: "By the way, I still have a few young players who are interested. , you help me communicate their situation as soon as possible, it is best to sign them all in before the summer earning window closes."
Jorge Mendes hurriedly took out a pen and notepad from his pocket and said, "Mr. Li, you can just say your name and the team you are currently playing for. I will communicate with their club immediately when I go back."
Li Mu said, "I want Wayne Rooney from Everton."
"Rooney?" Jorge Mendes said with a slightly admiring expression: "Mr. Li, your vision is really good, Rooney has great potential, and he has already emerged in Everton, and there are some sporadic voices who think that he If it stays that way, it could be the next leader in English football in the future."
Li Mu nodded and asked him, "How do you feel about using Rooney to partner with Cristiano on the striker?"
Jorge Mendez's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "The two of them are of the same age, their skills are also very solid, and they are both relatively fast, and they have a keen sense of smell in front of the door. If they are partners, after a period of tacit understanding After training and training, it should have a very good effect.”
Li Mu nodded and said, "Then help me to talk to Everton. If possible, it would be better to send one of the current Manchester City forwards to cover part of the transfer fee."
Jorge Mendes agreed immediately and said, "I will communicate with Everton as soon as possible."
Li Mu then added: "Besides Wayne Rooney, I have two other players I'm interested in, one is Alger Robben of Eindhoven FC in the Netherlands, and the other is Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia. Luka Modric of the club."
After listening to Jorge Mendes, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. It's surprising that a busy person like Li Mu can pay attention to the Premier League. , even he didn't pay much attention to it.
Surprisingly, Jorge Mendes replied very professionally: "Mr. Li, I have heard about Alger Robben you said. It seems that Chelsea are more interested in him and are talking about his transfer next year. Regarding Chelsea, it is estimated that the transfer fee should be around £8 million. If Robben plays well in the Eredivisie this season, the price should go up a little more. As for Modric, to be honest, I have not heard of it. However, you still need to inquire to find out.”
Li Mu nodded and said, "Rooney, Robben and Modric, take all three of them."
"No problem, I will sign them all according to your instructions!"
Li Mu said: "As soon as possible, it's only a few days before the summer transfer window closes."
Jorge Mendes asked Li Mu: "Mr. Li, when will you announce your ownership of Manchester City Club?"
The transfer of stars is not only rich, but also attractive. With the current strength of Manchester City, it is still attractive to players such as Modric and Robben who play outside the five major leagues, but For a player like Rooney, not necessarily.
Manchester City is not well-known in the Premier League, far worse than Manchester United in the same city. However, if Li Mu announces that he is the new owner of Manchester City, then the reputation of Manchester City can quickly increase a lot, so Howl He Mendes would like to know whether Li Mu decided to announce this news to the public, and if so, when will it be announced? This will have a great impact on the three players he wants to talk about next.
Li Mu said to Jorge Mendes: "I have to fly back to China in three hours. After the plane takes off, the news will be officially announced to the outside world."
Jorge Mendes breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That could not be better!"
After everything was settled, Jorge Mendes and Ronaldo left Manchester City's training ground.
After the two got into the car, Jorge Mendes did not rush to send Ronaldo back. Instead, he drove the car out of Manchester City's training base and drove in the opposite direction.
In the car, Jorge Mendes said to Ronaldo: "Don't say anything after going back today, if Ferguson finds you, don't say anything, if he asks you, you tell him, you make all the decisions. It's all handed over to me, no matter what decision I make, you will accept it unconditionally, so that you don't have to worry about the rest."
Ronaldo nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Mr. Mendes, I understand."
Jorge Mendes smiled satisfactorily, and added: "Ferguson will definitely find a way to stabilize you. In tomorrow's game, he may even let you start directly in order to show how much he values you. Just go all out to play, and the more you play, the better.”
Ronaldo immediately said: "Okay, I will definitely do my best."
...
After sending Cristiano Ronaldo and Jorge Mendes away, Li Mu looked at the time and said to the team's CEO and head coach: "Let the main players of the first team also come to the conference room later, I will tell them See you."
CEO Allist nodded immediately, whispered a few words in the ear of the head coach, and then the head coach immediately got up and left the conference room.
As the new owner of the team, Li Mu naturally has to formally meet with the team members, announce his ownership of the club in person, and then briefly talk about the future direction of the club's development.
Moreover, Li Mu is still thinking about seeing Sun Jihai from the Manchester City team. This can be regarded as the most successful and stable one among the few Chinese players who have developed in Europe. He wants to turn the Manchester City club into an excellent Chinese player. In the European training camp, seniors like Sun Jihai are particularly important. In the future, he must lead by example and work harder to set a perfect example for the players who will play for Manchester City in the future.
