Chapter 12, An Inch of Gold and an Inch of Time
When King Tiger handed over his carefully prepared list of buyers to Jill and Woodward. Jill was speechless for a long time. Woodward looked at Jin Tiger with puzzled and questioning eyes: "On your transfer list, are there 15 unknown young people that I have never heard of?"
Jin Taige shook his head: "This is not 15 unknown young people, but 15 future hopefuls of Manchester United."
Woodward took the list and frowned: "Although I am the commercial director of the club, I know international football very well. I have never heard of any of the 15 people on your list. "
Jin Taige didn't respond, he looked at the two people sitting across from him, then leaned back and continued to listen.
"Mr. Manager, I didn't expect you to be so skilled at making Excel spreadsheets. Look at this list," Woodward waved the list lightly. "Player name, position, age, international, and more. The club you are now in is very clear, just from this point of view, you are better than the Jazz, and the Jazz is definitely not as good as your computer.”
"Thank you for the compliment." Jin Taige's face was very calm.
Woodward's voice suddenly became a little louder: "But Mr. Manager, look at these people you selected, Ligue 2, British Championship, Bundesliga Schalke 04 youth team, I am very curious, how did you choose these people? of?"
Jin Taige spread his hands: "I dreamed of them, and then I chose, it's that simple."
"Mr. Manager, stop joking!" Woodward was a little angry, "Have you forgotten the agreement in the contract, the top 4 of the Premier League and the top 16 of the Champions League, if you can't achieve this goal, you will only be dismissed from get out of class!"
At this time, Jin Taige's voice also increased a lot: "Mr. Director, I think you must remember that it is expressly stipulated in the contract that I am solely responsible for the transfer of the club, and no one may interfere!"
"Oh, damn it, with your ability to do forms and your understanding of contracts, it's England's loss for you not to be a lawyer." Woodward sighed helplessly.
Jin Taige smiled: "I guess you will say in a year's time that if I really become a lawyer, it will be a loss for Manchester United."
"Okay, you won," Woodward picked up the list again and read it carefully, "Seriously, you estimate that the budget for these 15 people is less than 40 million. If this price can really buy 15 If I'm a new star, then my business executive will laugh out loud in my sleep."
"In another 5 years, the total value of these 15 people will definitely exceed 1 billion." Jin Taige had a serious face and did not mean to joke at all.
Woodward extended his thumb: "Okay, then I thank you in advance for the 1 billion."
"You're welcome, it's a pleasure to work with, Ed."
At this time, Jill, who had never spoken, said, "Mr. Manager, Ed came here today for only one purpose, which is to help you complete the goals on the transfer list. Ed is more professional than us in this matter."
Woodward nodded: "Mr. Manager, if you have any requests, feel free to mention them. For example, it's okay for me to contact these 15 people now."
However, Jin Taige waved his hand: "These 15 people are a bit special, and some people need me to go there in person."
"Okay, it just so happens that I have nothing to do recently. Where do you want to go first, I will accompany you." Woodward seemed very kind.
Jin Taige knew that this time, on the one hand, he was trying to help him complete his transfer goal, and on the other hand, he also wanted to monitor himself to see what his methods were.
Jin Taige smiled: "Then trouble Ed to walk around with me."
"You're welcome, this is what I should do."
Kim Tiger pointed to two names on the list: "These two are in England,
I'm going to find them this afternoon and say hello to my future men. "
Woodward looked at the list on the paper, with the names of two people on it: Marcos Alonso and Dele Alli.
That night, when 17-year-old Dele Alli met the Manchester United transfer representative, he thought it was incredible.
He played for the youth team of the League Two Milton Keynes Club. This year's contract has expired. The club is discussing with him about the renewal of the contract, but the salary of this contract is only a poor 2,000,000 pounds a week. He is a little dissatisfied. Compared with players of the same level, he can get more than double the salary, and he is also an excellent young player in the club's youth team. This salary is really unacceptable for him.
The Milton Keynes club actually did not renew the contract after Ali's contract expired in order to exert pressure. The club leaders made wishful thinking: You are now a free agent without the ball to play. If you don't sign with us, who else will want you? Moreover, the Milton Keynes Club is unknown in League Two, not to mention a child in the youth team, so the club is not worried that someone will sign Ali first.
But they were wrong. Someone really mentioned that they had boarded Ali's door and were also the transfer representative of Manchester United.
When Manchester United's transfer representative explained his intention and handed over the contract, Ali almost didn't even look at it, so he signed the contract directly. From the youth team of League Two to the youth team of Manchester United, this is simply a leap to the sky! Even if the weekly salary is reduced to 1,000 pounds, Ali will not hesitate to sign.
Of course, Manchester United is not a stingy club. They offered Ali a weekly salary of 5,000 pounds and promised to focus on him, which made Ali ecstatic. When the Milton Keynes Club recovered, the talents of their youth team had already lived in the dormitory of the Carrington training base, and the chairman of the Milton Keynes Club regretted it.
After learning about this, Jin Taige was very funny: if there is a pig-like chairman, then even the best club will be ruined.
Woodward won the first battle, and Jin Tiger was very happy. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Woodward's management attitude of "everything looks at money", he had to admit that Woodward was indeed a business wizard. In just one night, he finalized his first transfer.
Jin Tiger, who came from later generations, is very clear in his heart. In later generations, the Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur purchased Dele Alli, and he formed a sharp alliance with Harry Kane, Dell, and Sun Xingmin. The line of attack created a storm of youth throughout England. At that time, Ali's worth was in units of 100 million yuan.
Ali is free to transfer, the transfer fee is 0, and now Jin Tiger has 50 million transfer funds to use.
Buy people, go ahead.
