Pini Zahavi appeared in Saint-Etienne, France, sitting opposite Romeyer.

With a kind smile, the Israelis looked at the French in front of them, and the joke Master Huan said yesterday could not help but come to mind.

Three pieces of advice for smart men: don't play mahjong with your mother-in-law; don't go to bed with a woman who thinks more than you; don't start a company with your best friend, and the last one is the most serious.

At this moment, the Lord Saint-Etienne, Sir Romeyer, who is sitting before him, is a typical example.

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

Interestingly, the club shares held by the two presidents, Romeyer and Caiazo, are both 50%.

Before the acquisition of the club in 2004, they were very good friends, but after the acquisition of Saint-Etienne together, conflicts broke out between the two, and in the end they were not even friends. Do, but become the enemy.

Until the last two years, the situation has improved, but the contradictions between the two sides are still obvious.

The division of labor between the two sides is now very clear. Romeyer is responsible for the team's sports affairs, finance and personnel appointments, including the head coach.

Caiazzo is responsible for the day-to-day operation and supervision of the team.

Anyone who is familiar with Saint-Etienne knows that if you go to Caiazzo to talk about a transfer, you can negotiate on this side, and Romeyer will immediately come out to oppose it, and it will definitely not happen.

And if you want to talk about business cooperation, it is useless to ask Romeyer, and Caiazzo has a veto.

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

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

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

"We just completed the acquisition of Monaco!"

Romeyer was a little surprised. He had received intelligence before that Monaco had been acquired by foreign capital.

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

This Chinese seems to be trying to follow Abramovich's approach, only to become more secretive.

"When sorting out Monaco's finances, we found that Saint-Etienne had a transfer debt of 2 million euros that had expired, so Mr. Yang Huan entrusted me to find out the situation."

Having said that, Pini Zahavi also took out a letter of authorization.

Romeyer quickly took it with both hands, glanced at it casually, and politely returned it to Pini Zahavi.

Although the reputation of the Israelis in the European football circle is not very good, they are at least the No. 1 figure, and it is impossible to cheat.

Romeyer said with a smile: "Mr. Zahavi, there is indeed a final payment of 2 million euros, but we have already agreed with Monaco in advance. Besides, you are also aware of the things in the transfer market. , We are a small team, we did not sell players in the transfer market this summer, and we dare not introduce them."

After a pause, the Frenchman smiled embarrassedly.

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

Of course, Pini Zahavi knows that the Ligue 1 team is indeed quite poor.

without

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

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

Can you run a team without spending money?

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

"According to the agreement between the two teams when Rufer transferred last year, they will be paid in three instalments within a year, but you Saint-Etienne only paid the first instalment, and the second and third instalments are up to now. Arrears, I'm afraid this is not a delay, is it?"

When Pini Zahavi spoke, his waist was straight and his tone was a little heavy.

After all, you own the truth.

Think back to when you took advantage of Monaco's relegation, attacked them, and did everything possible to poach them.

Well, now Monaco has been torn apart by you guys, but you guys even owe the transfer fee, is that a good thing?

Romeyer is a little embarrassed. Rufer is a local goalkeeper cultivated by Monaco and a popular candidate for the national team. He is young, and if Saint-Etienne had not been strongly tempted to poach corners, he might not have been able to bring in.

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

Who is Pini Zahavi?

In recent years, it has been a bit low-key, but in the past few years, they were all powerful figures in European football.

He is too late to hold such a character, how dare he offend him?

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

Pini Zahavi looked at Romeyer's expression and knew it.

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

Romeyer's face turned into a bitter gourd. "Mr. Zahavi, don't you know the difficulties of our small team? How can you not need money to run a team now?"

Although Saint-Etienne all plays in France, it always costs some money to travel away, right?

Is there a return fee?

Do club staff need wages?

Which one doesn't cost money?

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

Pini Zahavi listened and laughed, "You and Kajazzo are both rich people, two million euros is not a small amount, but for you, it's not too much, one million euros each thing……"

Speaking of this, Pini Zahavi deliberately paused, "Or, I invite Caiazzo to talk about it. He should be able to afford two million euros."

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

Just kidding, the two have been fighting for four or five years, and now they have finally reached a easing of the situation, how can such a thing happen again?

At the earliest time, Caiazzo's shares were 52%. After Romeyer took over, the two sides negotiated many times for the shares, and finally reached a consensus. Hold Saint Etienne.

If you ask Caiazzo to pay now, it will definitely be exchanged for shares. At that time, your shares will not be as good as that of Caiazzo. Wouldn't he be stepping on his head in the future?

As for the two giving 1 million euros each, it's not impossible, it's just...

Pini Zahavi has a clue.

When the two bought Saint-Etienne, it was originally a debt acquisition. Otherwise, if they bought Saint-Etienne for a little bit of money, they would need two good friends to buy it together?

Over the years, they have been paying down their debts, a bit like the Glazers buying Manchester United.

However, Saint-Etienne is not as famous as Manchester United!

When the Israelites did not speak, Romeyer was under a lot of pressure.

No way, people are poor and short-lived!

"Mr. Zahavi, why don't you talk to Mr. Yang Huan? Or, just like this, we Saint-Etienne will be a satellite for Southampton and help the Saints to train young players for free. You are appropriate for one year... Hey, You know!"

Of course Pini Zahavi understands.

These days, satellites have to be subsidized a year, ranging from tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands of euros.

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

"It's not that I won't help you, but you don't know about Master Huan. He is the most clean and neat in his work. He doesn't like to be sloppy, especially not what others owe him. Even if you really want to cooperate, you have to pay the transfer fee first. It's gone!"

Romer sounded depressed.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was really afraid that the other party would go to the Ligue 1 to complain, he would reply directly with the truth, if there is no money, can human flesh be eaten?

But he didn't dare!

"Cough!" Pini Zahavi sighed again, "Then, it's not that I won't help you, I'll give you a trick!"

"Well, okay, say it, say it!" Romeo immediately became excited.

Pini Zahavi looked left and right as if he were a thief.

"I have a good relationship with the Southampton scouts and have heard about your players before."

"Who?" Romeyer's heart tightened.

The Israelis have been paying close attention to Romeyer's expression, and he is as smart as a fox secretly laughing.

"Kurt Zuma, and Aubameyang!"

"Huh?" Romeyer was immediately stunned.

Kurt Zuma is a product of Saint-Etienne's youth academy. He is a very promising local talented central defender. He is only seventeen years old now.

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

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

Pini Zahavi had already made up his mind.

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

But Pini Zahavi felt that just one Zuma would not show his ability.

So, he made his own decision and asked for one more Aubameyang.

Aubameyang is the main striker of Saint-Etienne with a very good speed. In the past season, he scored 16 goals in 36 games, which is very beautiful, and this player was once loaned by Milan to Monaco. One season, integration is no problem.

Speaking of genius, Aubameyang can be regarded as a genius, otherwise, Milan will not look down on it.

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

Buy one get one free, Master Huan must be happy!

Just when Pini Zahavi was happily thinking about how to take credit, Romeyer was in a dilemma.

On one side is two million euros in cash, and on the other side is Kurt Zuma and Aubameyang.

How to choose?

Pini Zahavi looked at Romeyer's expression and was determined to add more firewood, so he sighed and stood up directly.

"Forget it, forget it, just pretend I didn't say it!"

Romeyer panicked as soon as the Israelites stood up.

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

Romer was dumbfounded.

Is this to let Yang Huan take action?

Dear, what level of character is Yang Huan?

The British media have said that at every turn, millions and tens of millions of people will be smashed. He sees two million euros?

If you are annoyed by such trivial matters, and when you get angry, you directly sue the Ligue 1 League, how can you deal with it?

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

Thinking of this, Romeyer gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, yes, two are two!

"Mr. Zahavi, the deal is done!"

At this moment, his heart is bleeding!

Kurt Zouma and Aubameyang are not famous in European football now, but they have a good reputation in Ligue 1.

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

Forget it, anyway, half a year ago, Aubameyang was only one million euros, so Zuma also sold one million euros!

Although I lost a little bit, if I can have a relationship with Yang Huan, then...

Thinking of this, Romeyer immediately grabbed Pini Zahavi, so that the other party must say a few more good words to promote the youth training cooperation between Southampton and Saint-Etienne.

Pini Zahavi nodded and agreed with a smile, saying that he would definitely help to speak.

As for whether it will work or not, who knows? (To be continued) [ ] If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the Genesis Chinese website to vote for recommendation and click as a member. Your support is my greatest motivation. )
