Chapter 75 Hit it off

"You mean... Jose expressed interest in our shares?"

I haven't seen each other for a year, but Antonio Asensio's situation seems to have changed a lot. A year ago, he was a very energetic old man. But it became a lot grayer, and the already thin body began to become leaner, and at the same time coughed from time to time.

Seeing this, Juan was also very sad. He knew that his father's health was not good for a day or two. In fact, he resigned from the position of chairman a year ago because of Asensio's poor health. Otherwise, he was shrewd and capable. How could Asensio, who has a strong desire for power, step down from the position of Chairman of Mallorca?

The years of his reign are the most glorious years in Mallorca's history so far. The King's Cup, the Super Cup, and the third place in the league are achievements that Mallorca has never achieved before. , and at the club level, Asensio is also extremely good, suppressing the second shareholder, Grande, unable to move at all. Unfortunately, although he has surpassed Grande in all aspects, in terms of body, Grande But healthier than him, younger than him...

Asensio is naturally not reconciled, and would be reconciled to another person. If he knew Chinese history, he would definitely compare himself to Zhuge Liang and Grande to Sima Yi who can never die—but fortunately, he There is also a good friend, a friend who is suitable to run Mallorca, and an Alemani who does not have any shares in Mallorca but has a good relationship with him.

So the last thing Asensio did before leaving the chairmanship of Mallorca was to put Alemani in the chairmanship——Asensio is still very satisfied with his move, Alema Asensio has no shares, so he can only work for Mallorca. The Asensio family still owns the most shares, and Asensio also believes that Alemagni's ability can manage Mallorca well, and continue to work for Asensio. The family brings dividends every year - if he knew Chinese history, he would definitely compare his move with Zhuge Liang's last plan to kill Wei Yan...

It's just that Asensio is not Zhuge Liang after all. He has counted a lot, and Alemani, who has power but no real power, can only have a closer relationship with the Asensio family. Alemani's rich experience can help Juan Well, if Juan directly manages the club, he probably won't be able to beat Grande... But there is one thing that he can't count.

That is the impact of the Champions League restructuring.

Before 99-00, although the Champions Cup had undergone a restructuring, allowing the league runner-up to also participate in the Champions Cup, the Champions Cup at that time was still the plaything of those top teams, and they could gain enough benefits in the Champions Cup There are not many teams in the country, and at the same time, the intensity of competition in the domestic league and the revenue of the Champions League are not the same as those of later generations, so basically the investment of the major giants is relatively cautious.

However, since the 1999-00 season, the Champions Cup has expanded again. There are many more clubs that can share the cake from the Champions Cup, and the income they get is much more than before. This demand immediately stimulates the club's desire to invest. Even Mallorca has increased the treatment and increased expenses for the players because of the high prize money of the Champions League. Job hopping...

It's just that Asensio and other shareholders have overlooked one point. The income from the Champions League has not yet been obtained, but the increased expenditure must be paid out-this little difference will make Mallorca suffer miserably in the future , very miserable.

Gomez fully embodies the difference between an ordinary coach and a famous coach. Under Cooper's hands, Mallorca used the ugliest tactics to torture the hearts of La Liga fans who love * beautiful football. Card has achieved good results. If Cooper is still coaching Mallorca this season, Mallorca's previous increase in expenditure will not be in vain. It's a pity that under the leadership of Gomez, a bad guy, before the start of the league, he lost the Champions League qualification that he only got in a season, and went directly to participate in the UEFA Cup...

Although Jose appeared midway to turn the tide and won the first European trophy in the history of the club, Mallorca still suffered a huge loss in money. The deficit of up to 10 million greatly stimulated Asensio, and his condition became serious. It's a little bit more serious-it's all money!

Although thanks to Jose, Tristan was built into a bright new star in the second half of the season, and then he made nearly 20 million US dollars in the transfer market, which not only made up for the deficit, but also because only With the investment of five million dollars, the Asensio family received a dividend of nearly three million dollars, which was basically the same as in previous years, and the rest of the family had no objections, but Asensio knew in his heart—Ma Lorca is not a cash cow. If you sell people for money every year, you must be able to train enough good players. Otherwise, if you sell out, Mallorca will probably be downgraded...

Cooper before was always able to produce a few good young players (Cooper's ability to use new players is also quite good, and later he cultivated some talents in Valencia and Inter Milan, such as Vicente , Carew, Caron, Martins, Pasquale, etc.), but after Jose took office, he used a group of veterans to death. Ristan has already made his mark, and it is not considered that Jose was born. However, the investment in the transfer market is insufficient this time, and only two veterans who have no potential have been introduced. The possibility of continuous development, there are no capable newcomers in the first team, and the start of this season is so poor, it is probably at the level of a mid-range team-failure to enter the Champions League means that Mallorca's deficit is not enough. How much less will it be than last season-if Tristan will be sold this year, who will be sold next year?

The Asensio family is not only decided by Asensio alone, but there are several people of his same generation. There is no bonus to stop the mouths of these people. They don't want to see the funds of the Asensio family being dragged in the Mallorca club. In this quagmire—when the shares in Mallorca were acquired, it was not Asensio's own money that was used, but the family's money!

What, once the family is involved, it will be bad...

So in fact, Juan's unwillingness to continue to own shares in Mallorca was also largely influenced by his father. Naturally, there is nothing that cannot be said between father and son. Asensio He has revealed in front of Juan several times that he wants to transfer the shares, and Juan naturally hopes for this more - he is more willing to invest the money in the Malaga club, after all, he is a Malaga fan...

It's just that there are not too many people who are interested in Mallorca's shares and have the ability to take them. Grande is a good candidate, but no matter how you look at it, Asensio is unwilling to transfer it to this deadly enemy—— —That is tantamount to admitting his failure. For the stubborn Asensio, it would be better to let him die.

Now that Jose has expressed his interest in the shares of the Mallorca club, although Juan was surprised at the time as if he saw the legendary Ultraman, he rushed home immediately after breaking up with Jose, and then reported the matter to the His father knew.

Hearing his father's rhetorical question, Juan nodded immediately: "It's like this... Although he said it very casually, but I know Jose so well, it's easier for him to act dissatisfied with what he wants. The look of caring... This guy is still the same as before."

While talking, Juan also felt a little proud—he, Juan, is not a fool who can be fooled casually! It's just that Jose's appearance is probably a habitual practice, and these habits can only be noticed by Fa Xiao who grew up with him.

Regarding this point, even José didn't realize it, after all, he was reborn and possessed, but his habits unknowingly had many similarities with the previous José, some tiny habits and movements even He himself did not know as well as Juan.

"Ho ho, Juan, I'm relieved if you can think of this." Asensio laughed twice, and then coughed twice: "Son, I trust your judgment, this little Jose Guy is also an ambitious person, and you have a good relationship with him, this share is cheaper for others, it is better to make him cheaper."

"I think so too." Juan nodded: "Mallorca is worthless. To be honest, apart from the relatively large training base, it doesn't even own its own stadium, and the market value of the entire Mallorca club is no more than that." It's only about 50 million US dollars... I remember that when my father invested in the shares of Mallorca, he only spent less than 10 million US dollars, and he could make profits every year, and he could get several times the profits by transferring the shares. , have done it."

"It's 8.3 million US dollars. If you transfer it at the market price, you can get at least 30 million US dollars in profit, four years, nearly four times the profit, which is very good." Asensio Wei (*novel*wwW.* class12/ nodded slightly: "I know that boy from the Alemani family has quite a large sum of money, but he hasn't used it indiscriminately until now, and it seems that he won't take advantage of it and pay more money. Since it was transferred, since we intend to let go, there is no need to bargain with him, lest we appear to be too stingy."

Having said that, Asensio began to cough violently again. Juan, who nodded his head when Asensio said something before, took a step forward and patted his back for his father. After a while, Asensio coughed The sound died down.

"My health is getting worse. Otherwise, I have to find a way to kick Grande out. This guy is really annoying. He has no bearing, no grace, and is greedy." Panting After a few mouthfuls, Asensio said bitterly.

Juan nodded. The two fathers and sons had the same views on the second shareholder, Grande—the same goes for the Alemani father and son.

"Where did I say just now? Don't be too greedy, yes, this is it." After thinking for a while, Asensio told his son: "But you have to remember one thing, calling a high price without being greedy does not mean To make the Alemani boy cheaper...Although I have known his father for more than twenty years, you and him are the same, but son, we are businessmen, and businessmen have their own principles, that is, never lose money Buying and selling... whatever the market price is, you can bring me back as much cash as you want, not less than a peseta, and we don't accept payment in installments. If I can agree to this condition, I will agree to sell the shares to him, if not If not, we will look for another buyer. Anyway, there are still people who want the shares of the Mallorca club, and it is not only Jose and Grande who are interested."

Juan nodded silently, he knew that this was also his father taking the opportunity to teach him something. Looking at his father's thin face, Juan couldn't help but start to feel a little worried.

Father, what should I do if you are gone?

"Okay, you go out first, I will leave the negotiation with Jose to you, I hope you will not let me down."

After saying this, Asensio waved his hand to signal Juan to leave. After Juan left, Asensio stared at the ceiling and started to be dazed.
