118 Negotiations with Lopera
In this way, Tang Feng and Monica, who had resolved the misunderstanding, could be said to have a great conversation.
Through Monica, Tang Feng learned that Penelope learned dance like her when she was young, but later she was discovered by the director and then embarked on the road of film.
Monica has different ideas. Compared to movies, she loves dancing more.
However, she also said that if she has the opportunity in the future, she may also come into contact with movies or TV while doing her job well.
During the conversation, Monica also learned that Tang Feng was a football coach. She did not pay much attention to football, so she did not know much about Tang Feng. However, she said that she would pay attention to Tang Feng's team's game in the future.
These two young people pursuing their dreams also made an agreement, that is, work together to strive to make a career in their own field as soon as possible.
In the end, it was Tang Yan's phone call that interrupted the conversation between the two.
Tang Feng then realized that he did not come to Madrid alone, he also brought three little girls.
So he could only say goodbye after calling Monica's contact information.
The night stand I thought of before was completely abandoned by Tang Feng.
Although Tang Feng is not a human being when he is casual, sometimes he is not a human being.
At least, when he meets a good girl like Monica, he will not have such an unhealthy idea of a night stand.
...
He took the three little girls back to Sevilla safely, and Tang Feng's mission was officially completed.
As 2000 comes to an end, the time when the winter transfer window is opened is getting closer and closer.
Various transfer rumors have also been circulated in the media.
Originally, Tang Feng only needed to be a spectator to see how major European clubs spend money in winter. After all, as the current second-level team of Betis, they are not qualified to compete with the wealthy clubs in the winter transfer market.
However, because of Betis' outstanding record in the first half of the season and the outstanding performance of many young players on the team, Betis's team cannot get rid of various rumors in the winter transfer market.
"Morati regrets that he was hesitant and wanted to sign a Brazilian shooter at a high price to make up for his regret..."
"Killie Gonzalez is troubled by injury, and the Bat Legion wants to buy Vicente to fill the gap in the left wing..."
"Barcelona takes a fancy to Betis Golden Boy, and Cruyff calls him Figo II..."
"Real Sociedad's new coach took office and publicly stated that he wanted to buy back Xavi Alonso..."
...
There are many names of Betis players in the mainstream media in Spain and even Europe. The main players in the frontcourt have basically been rumored to have scandals with other teams. This is not good news for Tang Feng!
Tang Feng, who was originally enjoying the holiday, couldn't rest at ease.
In the past few days, what he does most often is to constantly tell through the media that these players in his team are not selling products!
However, this is just his unilateral statement.
He can't guarantee that the players themselves and the club have the same idea as him.
In Betis, the transfer issue is not up to him alone. In fact, looking at the entire La Liga, the transfer power is basically in the hands of the club's managers.
La Liga is not the Premier League, in this league, the coach is the coach, not called a manager like the Premier League! Naturally, there is no such great power!
Of course, due to the private agreement with Lopela, Tang Feng is quite good compared to other La Liga coaches. At least, in terms of signings, Tang Feng can have the final say as long as it is within the budget.
However, when it comes to selling players, Tang Feng has no decision-making power. He can only argue with the club.
...
On December 29, the afternoon of the third to last day in 2000, Tang Feng and Lopela met in a private room at a business club.
Why choose to meet at a business club instead of at a club?
Because it's not exactly a meeting between a head coach and the club president. It's a meeting between two people with private agreements.
"Hey, Don! Congratulations, you did a great job in the first half of the season! Congratulations, your contract has been successfully renewed until the end of the season!" Lopela said enthusiastically as soon as he met.
Tang Feng naturally knew that Lopela's congratulations were not from the heart. Moreover, because of the previous agreement between the two, his contract was automatically extended to the end of the season. Therefore, he did not meet with Lopela today to negotiate the contract.
"Mr. Mr. Xie. Do you know why I asked you here today?" Tang Feng also asked with a smile.
"Oh? Isn't it for renewal? Or you are not satisfied with the treatment and hope to get a little extra salary?" Lopela asked with a puzzled look.
"No, Mr. Chairman. It's only half a season. I won't just raise the price and ask for a salary increase just because the team performs well. Even if it's going to increase, I have to wait until the team is promoted. I'm here today to discuss with Mr. Chairman. I hope you can reject the team's offer to some of the main players in the team." Tang Feng naturally knew that Lopela was pretending to be confused, so he was too lazy to go around the corner and directly explained his purpose.
Seeing that Tang Feng was clear, Lopela also removed his hypocrisy and said in a cold tone: "You should know the agreement between us. The team's performance is not good and I cannot upgrade. I can acquire the shares in your cousin's hands. So, selling several important main players in the team to weaken the team's strength and preventing you from leading the team to upgrade is what I should do, right?"
"From the perspective of the agreement alone, Mr. Chairman should indeed do this. But as the chairman of Betis and an excellent businessman, Mr. Chairman should understand that selling these talented players this winter is an absolute loss-making deal!" Tang Feng felt the pressure brought to him by Lopela, the old fox, but he still calmed down his emotions and said with a calm face.
"Haha, you seem to make sense. But sorry, I don't think so. In my opinion, genius players can buy them in the future and make money in the future, but if you want to buy your cousin's shares, there is only one chance!" Lopela laughed loudly first, then lowered his voice and said.
Listening to Lopela's words, Tang Feng's heart sank.
Could it be that this old fox is really the kind of person who is not afraid of even sacrificing the interests of the club in order to get the shares of his cousin?
Although she was very worried, Tang Feng did not forget to remind herself that she must not give in at this time and cannot admit defeat! Otherwise, she would be completely led by Lopela!
"Haha, Mr. Chairman, do you really think that selling a few main players of the team can prevent me from leading the team back to Class A? Don't forget that many of these players in the team were introduced at low prices or even for free. In fact, I still have a lot of information about such players in my hands. Even in Team B, there are some players with good talent. I can organize a team with no weak combat power than the current team at any time. And, will the fans watch it
Watching you sell all these talented players? Unless you dare to risk offending all Betis fans and clean up all the players in the team. Otherwise, as long as there are still players in the team, I will be confident to lead them into La Liga! At that time, you will still not be able to buy my cousin's shares. And you will become a laughing stock because of doing many losses! Just like after you bought Denilson for the first place in the world football world!" Tang Feng said with neither humility nor arrogantness.
After hearing Tang Feng's words, Lopela was stunned!
Originally, in Lopela's opinion, he might not have gained much advantage in the confrontation with Tang Sen. But facing the young Tang Feng, he should have completely taken the initiative. But Tang Feng's performance obviously made him know that he made the wrong plan!
Tang Feng made a lot of sense. Although the club invested $15 million in transfer funds this summer, most of the funds were spent on several major players. Many other players did not spend much money on the club, and even introduced them for free.
From this we can see that Tang Feng's vision is indeed good. With his vision, even if he sells the main players of Adriano and several other teams, he may find another Adriano from which corner he will find.
In this way, doing this will not only fail to weaken the team's strength, but also achieve the goal of preventing Tang Feng from leading the team to upgrade. Instead, it will cause strong dissatisfaction among fans with him.
Moreover, as a second-tier team, young geniuses like Adriano must not be able to sell at high prices.
If you sell them at a cheap price, you will definitely become a laughing stock when they grow into big-name stars.
Tang Feng's words just now obviously meant to Lopela's pain point.
After he bought Denilson at the world's No. 1 price three years ago, he attracted a lot of attention and people were lamenting his madness.
But with Denilson's poor performance on the team, his madness became a representative of the "substitute".
When people mention Ruiz Lopela, their first impression is "the idiot who bought a parallel product for a record-breaking price"!
This situation was not solved until Denilson performed well at the end of last season and was favored by many giants.
So, after receiving the offer from Real Madrid for 25 million, Lopela almost without hesitation to take away his former "nightmare".
Now Inter Milan's offer for Adriano is only eight million US dollars, Valencia's offer for Vicente is only six million, and Barcelona's Joaquin's offer for xh is also similar.
Although these quotes may still have some room for growth, Lopela is very clear that as a second-tier team, Betis will definitely not be able to make these young people sell at high prices. In other words, these quotes will definitely not reflect the true value of these geniuses.
If he really sold them, maybe it won't take long before he would hear similar comments again.
"Oh my God, this fool Lopela. He sold Adriano in less than 10 million!"
"Lopera? Are you talking about the idiot who sold Vicente for 8 million?"
...
Damn it! I don’t hear such comments again!
Lopela thought a little crazy.
Thinking of this, Lopela also gave up his previous thoughts. He squeezed out a kind smile and said, "Haha, Don, I'm just kidding you. Of course I know that this is definitely not the right time to sell them. They are all Betis's future! By the way, so are you!"
Seeing Lopela changing his face as if he was performing Sichuan opera, he changed his expression continuously. Tang Feng suddenly felt disgusted, but he still said with a serious face: "I hope you remember your words, Mr. Chairman."
Chapter completed!
