Seven Hundred and Fifty-Four Sir, Open a Blind Box!

"I guessed a long time ago that you would invite me to dinner."

In Alder Erich, the restaurant where Gao Shen invited Ferguson to dinner last time, Gao Shen met the old Manchester United coach again.

He seemed to be in good spirits, and he didn't look like he was being hit at all.

In the season that just ended, Manchester United was empty-handed.

"How did you guess that?" Gao Shen asked directly without being polite.

Ferguson laughed, with the feeling of [Buddha watching Sun Wukong somersault], "I guessed from the very beginning that your tricks are not new at all."

Speaking of this, Ferguson is called a self-confidence.

"Blow it, just keep blowing it." Gao Shen didn't believe it to death.

"That Guardian reporter outside Old Trafford is your friend?" Ferguson asked, changing the subject.

Gao Shen shook his head, "I don't know."

The attitude is very sincere and full of confidence, because he really doesn't know each other, and he didn't arrange it.

"It's not your friend, so it must have something to do with you." Ferguson didn't care, he was your man anyway.

In fact, Gao Shen took the initiative to invite him to dinner, which is the best proof in itself.

From start to finish, it's an operation.

There are not too many things like this, and it can even be said that they happen all the time.

It's not that Ferguson himself hasn't experienced such a way, and suffered such a loss.

Some are eaten by him on his own initiative, which is regarded as a transitional benefit, while some are eaten by bad luck, and he has learned a lesson.

"To be honest, the one I regret the most now is Ken Bates." When Ferguson said this, he couldn't help laughing, "That old guy has been calculating others all his life, he is as shrewd as a ghost, and in the end he was calculated by you." gone."

"Stop!" Gao Shen hurriedly waved his hand, "I didn't plan on Ken Bates."

"So you admit to plotting against Queens Park Rangers?"

"I didn't, don't blame me."

"Sometimes, I really think, how do those rich people's brains grow? It is obviously a field that I am not familiar with at all, but why do I think I can play very well?" Ferguson said he could not understand.

Just like Tony Fernandez.

There is nothing wrong with investing in Queens Park Rangers. The purchase price is high, and it should be earned by the Italians. After all, they are now newly promoted from the Premier League and their worth is extraordinary.

But the problem is, after winning the club, he invited a Dato's son to manage the team, and then continued to hand over the team to the Indian son-in-law. Didn't he think that something would happen?

Poaching people and burning money, these are all about the Basic Law.

In European football, it is not uncommon for people to go bankrupt without knowing it.

Why are they all so confident?

Gao Shen can't understand it, because in the next few years, many rich Chinese will go abroad to play football.

Maybe it's not these losses from running the club that the rich see, but something else.

Who knows?

Anyway, Gao Shen himself has no money.

"I sold Jonathan Howson this time and made 10 million pounds. The acquisition of Leeds United only cost 15 million pounds..."

"It's thirty million pounds." Gao Shen corrected.

"Okay, thirty million pounds, that's worth it, okay?"

Gao Shen smiled, but did not object to this sentence.

In a way, it's really worth it.

But the problem is, he and Fernando Lucas and others,

It took several months to operate, and then barely sold Jonathan Howson for a high price of 10 million pounds. No matter how you look at it, it is not easy, right?

Besides, Jonathan Howson's performance in the British Championship last season was indeed outstanding and remarkable. Otherwise, teams such as Queens Park Rangers and Norwich are not stupid, can they offer this price?

It's like little Schmeichel, who has been famous for many years, and now Gao Shen has offered Tottenham a price, and Tottenham still have to plan carefully and be cautious, is it easy?

However, Ferguson is right, the most important thing is that Queens Park Rangers just met a boss who took advantage of him.

"To be honest, I really don't understand your transfer operation this year." Ferguson raised his head, looked at Gao Shen and asked.

"Is there anything else you don't understand?" Gao Shen didn't believe it.

Ferguson smiled, "I don't understand, why are you looking at relegated teams?"

"Cheap, cost-effective." Gao Shen explained.

When many teams sign contracts with players, they will have relegation clauses.

Moreover, generally speaking, after the team is relegated, the income will drop sharply, which requires them to sell players in exchange for funds.

Therefore, Gao Shen is right, staring at relegated teams to dig, it is really a good deal, very cheap.

But the premise is that he must be able to dig out real gold like Gao Shen.

"Then how sure are you that they can all succeed?" Ferguson asked.

Gao Shen shook his head, "I'm not sure, like Paulinho, I think it's pretty good, but the worth is also high, 1.5 million euros, I still feel bad about it."

"The Brazilian midfielder?"

Nod deeply.

"Is it very strong?"

"Open a blind box." Gao Shen smiled, "You give me Lingard, and I will sell you for 20 million pounds within two years, how about it?"

Ferguson was really stunned.

Based on his understanding of Gao Shen, of course he knew that Gao Shen would never be aimless.

Is that Brazilian midfielder really that strong?

But soon, Ferguson exhaled heavily.

He believed Gao Shen's words, but this was beyond his decision.

In today's Manchester United, his power is constantly being weakened.

On the one hand because of grades, on the other hand because of age.

Everyone knows that Ferguson is almost seventy years old, how long can he last on the front line?

"You don't look like a good guy, so I won't be fooled by you!" Ferguson laughed.

But he was also quite unhappy.

If it caught up with the earlier years, he would have agreed directly, and even had to grab Gao Shen to sign the agreement.

why?

Because the people Gao Shen really likes are generally not bad.

...

The two were eating, and the topic naturally turned to Leeds United.

Now the outside world does not have a high evaluation of Leeds United's transfer operation. Even after Jonathan Howson was sold at a high price, the situation of the White Roses is even more worrying.

After all, the higher the player's worth, the greater his role and contribution to the team, let alone a national name.

More importantly, Gao Shen seems to be looking at the relegated team, which is a bit outrageous.

For this point, Gao Shen said it was purely a coincidence.

"Just wait and see, there are more." Gao Shen said that he was also speechless.

He actually didn't want to do this, but it happened to be a coincidence. What can he do?

"Also? You're not really looking at the relegated teams from various countries, are you?" Ferguson also thought it was an exaggeration.

But Gao Shen said helplessly that I was unintentional.

The Championship and the Premier League are different.

The Premier League has only 20 teams, playing 38 rounds, but the English Championship has 24 teams, playing 46 rounds, plus the League Cup and the FA Cup, the number of matches is larger than the Premier League.

This has a certain guarantee for the thickness of Leeds United's lineup.

However, Ferguson also brought good news that Manchester United has agreed to Leeds United's offer for Paul Pogba.

Although Pogba is indeed talented and talented, his worth is not high, only one million pounds.

The main reason is that there is only one year left in his contract, and Manchester United cannot promise him the main position, which makes him not want to renew his contract now, so Manchester United is willing to sell at such a price.

Two years ago, they dug Pogba from Le Havre to Manchester with a compensation of 87,000 pounds. Now they sold it to Leeds United for 1 million pounds. Manchester United earned nearly a million pounds. Why not do it?

"Thank you!" Gao Shen picked up the boiling water glass and bumped it into Ferguson's red wine glass.

Lafayette is still very trustworthy.

Of course, this deal is actually not a loss for Manchester United at the moment.

After all, the Red Devils have never focused on cultivating young players, especially in the context of increasingly fierce competition in the Premier League, it is even more difficult to train young players.

"You find a way to persuade him to join Leeds United, but I believe that if you come forward, it will not be a big problem, and I also very much look forward to him being able to play and have the opportunity to return to Manchester United in the future." Ferguson said full of expectations.

Perhaps, this is his selfishness.

After all, he personally went to France to persuade Pogba's family, so he naturally hoped that the French midfielder could play.

"Don't worry." Gao Shen nodded.

"Hey, 10 million pounds is in my hand, and it's not warm yet, and it's gone all at once."

Hearing Gao Shen's muttering, Ferguson was amused, "You specially copied the bottom of the relegated team, why did you spend so much money?"

"Old Jazz, you don't know how expensive you are if you are not in charge. It cost me two to three million pounds just to renovate that training base. You have never seen such a bad field. It doesn't even have a hot floor. The football in the north of England Team, there is no geothermal heat, can you believe it?"

Hearing Gao Shen's complaints, Ferguson became excited.

"It wasn't the base camp of Leeds United in the first place. They just wanted to make a transition there. Who knows..."

Yes, I made a transition, and as a result, I crossed myself.

"Two days ago, after a comprehensive assessment, the Elland Road Stadium planned to carry out minor renovations, launch some small sites and small shops to serve fans, and increase some game-day income. As a result, the budget was submitted, and it was more than one million pounds. .”

Ferguson was happier and even drank two more glasses of wine.

In fact, running a club is really like this, you need to spend money everywhere.

Let alone 10 million pounds, even if it is 30 to 50 million pounds, if you don't plan carefully, you will be squandered to nothing in a short time.

Therefore, over the years, the vast majority of those rich people who have rushed into European football have been messed up, and in the end they all left in disgrace, leaving behind a rumor that European football clubs do not make money.

But actually?

If it is true that it does not make money, there will be so many people rushing in?

Professional football is an industry. This industry, like other industries, has certain industry rules and thresholds. Some people make money, and naturally some people lose money.

So far, Gao Shen has definitely not made any money, but it is not a loss, but as long as the team can continue to operate steadily, even be promoted to the Premier League, and succeed in relegation, then his current investment is nothing at all.

Since he decided to acquire Leeds United, he has such confidence!
