Chapter 151 Bargaining
Now that they have got the approval of Lucio and his agent Becker, Jiang Mu and Sherringia no longer hide it. They immediately called the Brazilian International Club to meet their chairman, Pifero, but the left-behind staff told Jiang Mu that Pifero had gone on vacation, and it was difficult to determine the specific time to come back.
When Jiang Mu heard the staff's contempt, he said angrily, "I tell you, contact President Pfeiro immediately. I'm Jiang Mu, the head coach of Alkmaar. Please contact me as soon as possible, otherwise he may lose millions of dollars. If you don't tell him my words, you will be unlucky."
The left-behind staff was scared and quickly begged Jiang Mu for forgiveness. He tried his best to contact President Pifero. Even if he couldn't, he would contact the manager of the club.
Jiang Mu had no intention of embarrassing a low-level staff member, so he checked out of Brasilia and flew back to Porto Alegre to prepare for a meeting with Pifero, president of the Brazilian International Club.
Twenty minutes later, when Jiang Mu and Sheringia were still in the car, Alphonso, the manager of Brazil International, hurriedly called and explained to Jiang Mu that Chairman Pifero was in Dubai. He had informed Chairman Pifero of this matter. Chairman Pifero will return soon. Now if there is anything, you can discuss with him first. Business.
Jiang Mu told Alconsol that he was on his way to Porto Alegre and talk about it in detail when he went to the club to visit Alcono in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, in the cafe of the Birario Stadium, Jiang Mu went to the appointment alone and met Alphonso, the manager of the Brazilian International Club. Alphonso had called in the morning to verify all aspects of information about Jiang Mu and Alkmaar, so he was not too surprised to see Jiang Mu for the first time.
After the two sides settled down, Jiang Mu came straight to the point and proposed to buy Brazil International's central defender Lucio.
"How do you know Lucio?"
Alconsol was very surprised to hear that Jiang Mu was going to buy Lucio, because this season they had just dug Lucio from the amateur team Gualani Club. Before that, Lucio did not have any outstanding performance or reputation. The reason why it was discovered by Brazil International was purely an accident, which was in an amateur. In the game, Guarani was slaughtered by the Brazilian international team 1:0, but Lucio's performance in the game was very eye-catching. In this way, he was taken down by Brazilian international for 50,000 reais.
How can such a player be favored by a distant Dutch club? His coach also came to Porto Alegre to negotiate the matter in person.
Seeing Al Corso's surprise, Jiang Mu smiled and said, "Manager Al Corso, our club is small, but our scouts are all over Brazil and Argentina. Your central defender is very suitable for my offensive tactics. This time I'm coming to Brazil for a holiday. I'll talk to you by the way. I hope you can give up your love.
Also quickly realized that his shock was stupid. He immediately said, "Lucio is an important member of the team. Coach Loz is very important. I can't make the decision. It needs to listen to the opinions of President Pifero and Coach Loz."
Jiang Mu sneered and said, "I may leave Porto Alegre soon. I don't know when President Pifero will come back, or you can call him."
Alphonso said, "Well, well, I have been on the phone with President Pfeiro, and he will be back soon. Why don't you wait a minute, I'll urge him again and see what he says?"
Jiang Mu said, "Okay."
Alphonso went out and made a long phone call and came back more than ten minutes later.
Seeing Jiang Mu again, Alphonso's expression was enthusiastic and said, "I just talked to President Piffero again. He will not return to Brazil until three days at the earliest, but he talked to Coach Loz on the phone. Coach Loz said that Lucio's status is irreplaceable now. If we sell him, our defense line. We will suffer a lot of losses, and we have to buy another central defender.
Jiang Mu couldn't listen to such nonsense and said directly, "Manager Al Corso, just say it directly, sell it or not?"
Alconsol smiled and said, "Well, Mr. Jiang, President Pfeirro means that it is negotiable, but if the price is too low enough for us to buy another central defender, this business will be boring."
"That's for sale. In this case, please give a price. If it's suitable, we'll talk about it again. If it's not suitable, we don't need to talk about it." Jiang Mu said very simply.
"300 million reais, this is our bottom line." Al Corso smiled like a **.
A reais is close to one dollar, and a player who has just bought it from an amateur team sells for three million dollars. Damn it, this is extortion, and it is still the bottom line. Even the upper limit is exceeded.
Jiang Mu smiled and stood up and said, "I thought it was 300,000 reais. Since your chairman is so insincere, we don't need to talk about it. You have to wait to spend 3 million US dollars on Lucio's club."
Jiang Mu said goodbye to Alphonso. Alphonso kept Jiang Mu for dinner, but did not raise the price, because he heard that Alkmaar was in urgent need of central defender now, and the club was still very rich, so he wanted to strangle Jiang Mu.
Jiang Mu returned to the Hilton Hotel and told Sheringer about the conversation with Alonso today. Sheringer said angrily, "Three million, this price is really dark. Let them wait. Let's go back to Europe.
"Their price is not outrageous. After a few years, this price will have to be doubled to buy Lucio." Jiang Mu shook his head and said seriously, because he knew that three years later, Leverkusen spent $8.5 million when he bought Lucia from Brazil International.
"What should I do? Do you accept the offer from Brazil International?" Sherin said that three million dollars is really nothing in Alkmaar, but she doesn't want to be the wrongdoer.
"No, let's wait. They don't have the confidence to pay at this price, because they don't know how much Lucio is worth in the future. If you buy it now, it will be realized, and it will increase many times. They will definitely contact us again. In the next few days, let's talk to Ronaldinho. Let's see if we can poach this genius from Gremio. Jiang Mu is confident.
"Well, I really can't see how valuable this Lucio is. It's up to you." At this time, Sheringer chose to trust Jiang Mu instead of acting according to her own will.
"I believe we are not wrong. In less than three days, Brazil International will definitely call me." Jiang Mu is full of confidence.
The next day, the Assis and Ronaldinho brothers came to the Hilton Hotel to visit Jiang Mu and Sheringa and invited them to eat Brazilian barbecue, but did not talk about the transfer.
In the next two days, Jiang Mu did not mention the transfer, but invited the Assis and Ronaldinho brothers to dinner almost every day and bought gifts for their families. Jiang Mu's sincerity quickly won the friendship of the Assis brothers and attracted the attention of the Gremio Club on vacation.
Paul, the manager of Gremio Club, came to visit Jiang Mu at the Hilton Hotel and implicitly told Jiang Mu that if you want to acquire Ronaldinho, please contact the club, but don't contact the players in private.
Since Gremio came to the door, Jiang Mu of course rudely bargained with them. Gremio now thinks that Little Roach is liveable and is ready to sell it at a large price after being cultivated. Of course, it will not be sold at a low price. They directly ask for five million US dollars.
Although Jiang Mu is determined to win Ronaldinho, it is not the time to buy Ronaldinho, because what the team lacks is not the attacker, but the defender. Now Alkmaar wants to build the stadium, and the funds are not very abundant. He still has to guarantee the funds to buy the defender first, and Gremio obviously does not want to sell seedlings. Zi, they want to sell the finished product, so Jiang Mu no longer mentions the acquisition. In order to give Gremio face, he no longer contacts Brother Assis.
On the third night, Jiang Mu and Sheringjia had just returned from the beach in Rio de Janeiro. Alphonso, the manager of Brazil International, called and said that Chairman Pifero had returned and wanted to talk to Jiang Mu about Lucio's transfer.
Jiang Mu knew that Brazil International was negotiating with sincerity this time, so he took Sherringia to the Greentree Hotel to meet Pifero.
When Pifero met, he warmly gave Jiang Mu and Sheringer a hug instead of a very solemn handshake.
"Coach Jiang, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for so long."
Jiang Mu smiled and said, "No, no, in fact, I'm here for a holiday in Brazil, and I just want to go back to Europe tomorrow."
Alphonso's face changed, but Piffero pretended not to hear it and said, "We Brazilians do things neatly. I also know that Alkmaar lacks a central defender now. Although we also need Lucio, if your price is right, we will give up."
Jiang Mu smiled and said, "I'm also a person who doesn't like to beat around the bush. Last time you gave me a price, and now I also give a price. Let's see how it is. If you think we can negotiate, let's discuss it well, otherwise, we will go back tomorrow."
Sheringa said, "We all know that Brazil is a player exporting country. You train stars not only for your own use, but also sell them to Europe. Therefore, we have also included Lucio's future value-added. 900,000 US dollars. Do you think it's appropriate?"
Sherringia's offer made Alonso and Pifero laugh bitterly, because this price is very painful, which is exactly similar to their psychological bottom line. According to reason, they spent $50,000 to buy it in June, and now they sell it for $900,000, which is more than ten times as profitable, but they also know that Lucio is a good central defender. Miaozi, the future is unlimited, and he is really reluctant to give up $900,000. However, from another perspective, the road of football stars is very bumpy. In case they don't become talents, they will lose more than 50,000 dollars.
Pfellow said, "You give this price, which is also a sincere intention to buy people. Let's put it this way, it's really a loss for us to sell people at this price. We are a star processing factory, and we don't do the business of selling seedlings. This is similar to you. I hope you can raise the price again. Ti."
Jiang Mu said, "Our price is very generous. This can't be regarded as the price of seedlings."
Pfeiffero thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you do that? I am very optimistic about the potential of your club. We also hope to have another channel to export players to Europe. Lucio will temporarily lend you a season of rescue, and then we will talk about the transfer. In this way, the value of Lucio can also be seen.
It's not good to see the value. Jiang Muxin said, but he said, "Well, I'll discuss it with Manager Sherin Jia."
Pfeirro said, "There is no problem with this. Please do as you like."
Jiang Mu and Shilinga had a simple discussion outside and returned to the room to raise the transfer price by $100,000.
Pifeiro and Alphonso were still not satisfied with the price. Sherinja was unwilling to argue with them for tens of thousands of dollars, so she proposed to pay directly in cash and pay the broker's commission. Then Pfeirro nodded and agreed. The two sides initialled the contract and finalized the transfer, waiting for Alkmaar's lawyer to come. After completing the details of the transfer contract, the transfer was announced, and these things did not require Jiang Mu to participate in any more. After Alkmaar's lawyer arrived, Jiang Mu flew directly back to China from Brazil.
