Chapter 123 A Midnight Date with a Man with a Shy Smile
The uncle next door threw out the bait, took a sip of the vodka in the goblet, and quietly waited for Li Tongfan's answer.
Although he has settled in the UK, Abramovich prefers to regard himself as a pure Russian in his heart. Like many Russians, he likes to drink vodka. This most popular liquor in the Siberian wilderness can make him remember the days he spent as a poor man before the age of 26! The only difference is that Abramovich likes to pour vodka in a goblet for drinking red wine. This is a quirk formed after coming to England!
Pick up the Blue Mountain Bitter on the table and stir it with a small porcelain spoon. A strong and slightly bitter mist rises. With a familiar taste, Lao Li took a long breath, but did not drink it, and gently put it back!
The uncle next door changed his face slightly and waved his hand gently. The middle-aged foreigner who was standing at the door to greet Lao Li just now understood and handed a contract with a faint scent of ink to Lao Li.
"I think this contract can provide you with everything a head coach needs. You can raise your annual salary yourself. The club can provide you with 200 million pounds of transfer funds. Beckham, Ronaldo... As long as you are willing, you can bring the direct players in Real Madrid. 200 million pounds is enough for you to build the strongest team in Europe... Li, don't doubt my sincerity. Few club owners will come to negotiate in person for a head coach!"
Since pretending to be cool is a very mentally and physically exhausting thing, Lao Li did not pretend to be noble. He took the contract and looked through it carefully. The uncle next door was right. The contract showed enough sincerity. As long as he signed this 3-year contract worth more than 30 million euros, after the winter break, he would become a working emperor in the field of football coaches and a local emperor at Stamford Bridge!
Lao Li never thought that his name would become so valuable one day. Three small Chinese characters were incredibly linked to 30 million euros. If it were me four months ago, I would have written my name on it without hesitation without the urging of the Russian uncle in front of me. Even if I had to sell myself with my fingerprints, it would be worth it!
But now it is different. The experience in Real Madrid has made the former angry unemployed otaku deeply understand that only a steady stream of income can lead to a long life, and a one-shot explosive business will eventually run out of money. Abramovich could dismiss the crazy uncle who won six championships in three years without hesitation, just like dismissing a beggar. If a young man like me does not satisfy him that day, my fate will not be much better than Mourinho!
Old Li has long since left the childish stage of just wanting to seize the opportunity to earn a penalty. The FM2007 system has made the ambition of this 22-year-old young man grow day by day. If possible, Old Li will definitely pretend to be like Genghis Khan, pointing his whip at the map of Europe and saying coquettishly: Sooner or later, I will conquer a large territory here...
"I am curious, why are you so sure that I can do what Mr. Mourinho can't do?"
Perhaps he had expected Li Tongfan to ask this question, and the uncle next door once again showed the shy smile he used to conquer the British upper class and Chelsea fans: "Li, you should know why I have the status I have today, as a person who has created People who have experienced miracles have a keen intuition about another person who is about to create miracles... Calderon is just a short-sighted speculator. Do you think this old lawyer really wants to bring countless trophies and honors to Real Madrid as he said in his campaign speech? Laporta regards Barcelona as a bargaining chip for his entry into the Catalan political arena, and Calderon is no exception. For those people, they don’t want pure football, but I am different..."
"Li, Calderon will not understand the value contained in you. As for Mijatovic, the Serbian may be a good player, but he is definitely not a good club manager, whether in terms of ability or..." At this point, the uncle next door suddenly paused.
But Lao Li knew what the uncle next door meant, whether in terms of ability or quality!
Hearing this, Li Tongfan suddenly felt a flash of lightning passing through his mind. The doubts that had been blocking his heart for a long time gradually cracked a crack and revealed light. It has been heard that some agents will join forces with club officials to swallow black money. Could it be that Uncle Mijatovic is also doing this?
If this is the case, the transfer fees of Joel Luka, Modric and Carlos Vela can be explained! Thinking of this, Lao Li was furious. Could it be that once he retired, the Serbian striker's love for football was blinded by money?
Unforgivable!
However, although Lao Li was angry, everything was just speculation. If he agreed to the transfer just because of a few words from the uncle next door, he would be an idiot. It was clearly written in the contract that the Russian uncle hoped that Lao Li would transfer to Chelsea after the winter break, and the liquidated damages would be paid by Chelsea. This time was exactly what Lao Li could not accept the most.
After more than four months, he had spent countless character points to straighten out the mess of Real Madrid. Only then did he see the light and everything was thriving. With the reputation of Crazy Li Wudi, the situation he had worked so hard to break out was like a child that Lao Li had given birth to after ten months of pregnancy. How could he abandon it?
What's more, Ronaldo, Beckham, Juan Mata, Grede, Ito Yun... these people have entered Lao Li's life like old friends. The Chinese people's nostalgia makes Lao Li absolutely unable to win this season. Tao is to abandon everything and turn to the arms of others like a promiscuous prostitute!
The most fatal thing is that all the foundation of Lao Li's success lies in the FM2007 system. Before he has figured out his "intentions", he rashly agreed to the Russian uncle. It is estimated that it will not take long for the insidious system to "ding dong". Tell Lao Li, "Congratulations, because you violated the contract with Real Madrid, the system will erase you within 3 days. Please take the time to say goodbye to your parents and prepare the coffin..."
It is true that Abramovich's sincerity is unquestionable. As the big boss of the club, he sneaks in to meet with a young head coach at 11 o'clock in the middle of the night. It is definitely more benevolent than the crying star Liu Huangshu who pretends to visit the thatched cottage, but no matter how sincere he is, Can't it be regarded as a character point flower?
So the Russian uncle is destined to be injured tonight!
After thinking clearly about the key to the matter, Li Tongfan resisted the temptation of more than 10 million euros a year and pushed the contract aside. He put on the purest smile in Abramovich's slightly surprised eyes and spoke righteously. Give the answer:
"Since you know that there is an idiom in China that goes straight to the point, you must also know that there is another idiom: a gentleman speaks quickly and whips his horse. I have accepted the contract provided by the Real Madrid Board of Directors, so I must complete myself in accordance with the requirements of the contract. I will not negotiate a coaching contract with any club before July 2007! I am flattered by your invitation, but I can only say sorry!"
Damn it! Damn it!
At the end of Lao Li's words, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Why did these words sound like a heartless man rejecting the infatuated girl who wanted to express his love to him? Could it be that Lao Li has been watching too many Aunt Qiong Yao’s DVDs recently?
The Russian uncle's expression changed. First he was surprised, then slightly angry, and then turned into admiration. This face-changing performance was like a Sichuan opera. Lao Li was frightened when he saw it. He suddenly realized that looking at Abu, he was now looking like a harmless person. It seems that if this guy, a black-hearted businessman, becomes angry and secretly hires a Siberian killer or something to teach himself a lesson for not knowing how to appreciate others, it will be terrible!
There's FM2007 here, there's the Russian black-hearted tycoon over there, there's a wolf in front and a tiger behind, it's a dead end!
Who knew that the Russian uncle did not get angry, but fully demonstrated the magnanimity that an international friend should have: "The integrity of the Chinese people is amazing. You are a respectable gentleman. To use another Chinese saying , that is, the door of Stamford Bridge is always open for you. After the season, if you want to change a team to coach, I hope you can give priority to the Blues. Only Chelsea is a paradise for development!"
Old Li breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the Russian uncle not only likes Chinese idioms, but also understands the glorious Chinese tradition of "buying and selling cannot be done without benevolence and righteousness." He is actually an interesting foreigner. Since he took a step back, he will go down the slope. Liubei: "Of course that's no problem. Uh, do you want to sign a priority coaching contract?"
The Russian uncle smiled and shook his finger: "NO, NO, there is no need to doubt the credibility of the Chinese people!"
…
When Crazy Li left the room, Abramovich took a sip of vodka with some regret, and then pulled out a Chinese idiom: "You are a beautiful woman, Naihe... Naihe is not for me!"
The middle-aged foreigner next to him was a little puzzled: "Roman, is this Chinese worthy of being so sought after? He is just a young man in his 20s. I think Jose's grades are no worse than him!"
"You don't understand. He is a Chinese, the first Chinese to successfully break into European football. This name alone is worth hundreds of millions of pounds. How could Calderon understand the value of this... That person who only The old lawyer who knows how to speculate is short-sighted. How much money can he get from the transfer fees of a few small players? Signing Crazy Li is equivalent to digging up a mountain of gold! Continue to pay attention to this young man and try to gain his favor! "
"Understood!"
…
On November 23, the Real Madrid team returned to Madrid by plane. At the Madrid Airport, thousands of fans came to pick them up, and Spanish reporters were not far behind. The storm caused by the Battle of Stamford Bridge and Madman Lee’s two mysterious gestures has just begun.
