The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 223

223 Create a New Rich Family in Belgium
In the club building of the Ghent Club, in the president’s office!

Ivan de White, president of the Ghent Club, sat upright in his seat with a smile on his face, his eyes staring only at the two people in front of him.

The two people sitting opposite him were of great origins, the chairman of Leeds United Club, Zhong Cheng, and the vice-chairman, Trivo Birch!

Zhong Cheng also had a faint smile on his face as he said, “Mr. Ivan, I think you already know why we’re here today!”

Ivan de White nodded and said, “Yes, I know!”

Zhong Cheng said, “Since you know, then I won’t go in circles with you. Our club is hoping to form a partnership with your club. I wonder how did you do in the exam?”

Ivan de White is looking forward to the Belgian Serie A title, a day that Ghent have been waiting for for countless years. He knew that without powerful allies to help them, it would be difficult for them to achieve this grand goal.

Ivan de White was tempted to see Leeds United’s younger players today. He had actually agreed to Zhong Cheng’s plan.

However, Ivan de White did not immediately agree, because that was the case in the negotiations. Whoever confessed first would lose!

Ivan de White pondered for a moment and then said, “I have a question. Can I set it up?”

Zhong Cheng and Trevor Birch looked at each other and said, “Of course!”

Ivan de White immediately asked, “May I ask why you chose our club? After all, there are many clubs like Belgium!”

Yes, many Belgian clubs now want to be satellite clubs for Premier League teams, like Antwerp.

Zhong Cheng wiped his nose and said, “To tell you the truth, our original target is not your Ghent Club, but the Hank Club!”

Evan de White was slightly shocked and said, “Hank, why?”

Zhong Cheng did not conceal anything, saying: “Because we value their youth training!”

Ivan de White was even more puzzled. It seemed that the Hank Club’s youth training was not very famous. He looked at Zhong Cheng and asked, “Youth training?”

Zhong Cheng said: “We value his youth team more than his youth team, as if we value the two players in their youth team!”

Ivan de White was shocked again. Who could enter Zhong Cheng’s eyes?

Right now, Evan de White trusts Zhong Cheng very much. Take a look at the players that Zhong Cheng has brought in over the years. Which of them doesn’t have any characteristics or potential? Zhong Cheng was actually willing to make this club their satellite club for these two players. How much did Zhong Cheng value them? What ability did these two little fellows have that Zhong Cheng valued so much?

Ivan de White immediately asked, “Who are these two?”

Zhong Cheng did not conceal anything and said, “Kevin Debraune and Tibo Kurtuva!”

Evan de White frowned slightly. He didn’t seem to have heard of them. He turned to look at the club’s manager, Michelle Lovage, who immediately shook her head and said he had never heard of it.

Zhong Cheng smiled faintly and said, “It’s normal that you haven’t heard of them. They are still very young now. They are all thirteen or fourteen children.”

Hearing Zhong Cheng’s words, Ivan de White and the others were instantly confused!

Zhong Cheng was actually able to tell if these thirteen or fourteen-year-olds were good players. Wasn’t this a bit of science fiction? And this isn’t England, it’s Belgium. He had never heard of these players before, so how did Zhong Cheng know about them?

Ivan de White and Zhong Cheng stared at each other in confusion.

Zhong Cheng naturally saw the doubt between the two of them. He immediately said: “I have been following Belgian football for a long time. Belgium has a lot of potential in their 88s and 93s. If they are guided by a master teacher, they will become the backbone of the world football in the future, and even the European Red Devils will rely on them to revive.”

At this moment, Zhong Cheng had completely begun to act tough, using his experience of crossing paths to trick the Ghent duo.

Ivan de White and the others were shocked. They hadn’t expected that Zhong Cheng would rate Belgian players of this age so highly. They were a little shocked.

Zhong Cheng continued, “Do you know why I chose Belgium to be our club’s satellite club?”

Ivan de White asked, puzzled, “Isn’t it because of the labor permit?”

Zhong Cheng faintly smiled and said, “This is only one aspect! In fact, there are many EU countries, and Belgium is only one of them!”

Michelle Lovage immediately said: “You mean you value this group of Belgian youngsters and you want to nurture them well?”

Zhong Cheng smiled and said, “Yes!”

Ivan de White frowned slightly and said, “Is there really so many geniuses in Belgium?”

Zhong Cheng said: “Of course, the Hunk Club is not just these two small players, their youth team also has a 93-year-old young player Carrasco, his talent is also very good!”

Of course, Zhong Cheng still hadn’t said that Henk Club would have 95-year-old Oleg and other players in the future.

Evan De White and the other two sucked in a breath of cold air. How could the Hank Club have so many talented players? No wonder he became one of the four most successful clubs in Belgium.

Zhong Cheng continued, “There must be a reason why Hunk Club is one of the four most successful clubs in Belgium.”

Ivan de White sighed when he heard this. His club had been established for so many years but had never won the Belgian Serie A championship. Perhaps it was because of this that they were not able to become one of the most successful clubs in Belgium.

Zhong Cheng saw through Ivan de White’s thoughts and said, “This is really an important reason!”

Ivan de White immediately raised his head to look at Zhong Cheng.

Zhong Cheng smiled and said, “Hank has so many young geniuses. As the other three of the four most successful clubs in Belgium, Antwerp, Anderlecht and Standard Liege naturally have many young geniuses as well!”

Evan de White stared fixedly at Zhong Cheng. It seemed that he would not believe Zhong Cheng unless he said something.

Zhong Cheng said directly, “The Standard Liege Youth Team has Maruwan Ferrani in 1987, Nasser Shadley in 1989, Axel Witzer in 1989, Musa Dembele in 1987, Virtuongheng in 1987, and Lagarde Naingeland in 88 …”

Ivan de White was confused when he heard this.

Zhong Cheng faintly smiled and said, “As for the wealthy Anderlecht, do you still need me to say it?”

Ivan de White shook his head in disappointment. He really couldn’t listen anymore. Only now did he know how far apart his Ghent club was from the four most successful clubs in Belgium!

Ivan de White immediately said: “Since you have so many choices, why choose our Ghent club?”

Zhong Cheng said: “These clubs are very successful in Belgium. These are their capital and are naturally their bargaining chips. Antwerp has its own famous flowers. The other three teams are asking too high a price, or they look down on our Leeds United Club!”

Ivan de White nodded and asked, “You still haven’t explained why you chose our Ghent club!”

Zhong Cheng said, “I have investigated your club. Your club has been established for 105 years. It is an old-fashioned club in Belgium. Your club has a longer history than many Belgian teams. It can even be said to be one of the earliest clubs in Belgium. However, your club has never won the championship of the Belgian Serie A league!”

Ivan de White smiled bitterly and said, “Is that why you chose us?”

Zhong Cheng nodded his head and said, “Because of this, your club’s desire for the league title is more intense than other clubs. Your motivation will also be greater because I know that you are an ambitious president and you are eager to succeed! That’s why I have my eyes on you!”

Zhong Cheng also said: “I believe that you may need our help more, more willing to cooperate with us!”

Ivan de White stared fixedly at Zhong Cheng. After a few minutes, Ivan de White sighed and said, “You win, Mr. Zhong Cheng!”

Zhong Chengshi laughed and said, “No, Mr. Evan, this is a win-win situation!”

Ivan de White’s eyes lit up and he nodded, “Yes, it’s a win-win situation! So, we worked well together?”

As he spoke, Ivan de White extended his right hand towards Zhong Cheng!

Zhong Cheng also smiled and stretched out his right hand. The two of them only held each other’s right hand. Zhong Cheng said, “Happy cooperation!”

Ivan de White immediately said, “So, Mr. Zhong Cheng, are you going to loan those players to our club?”

Zhong Cheng knew that Ivan de White would ask this question. He said directly, “Hulk, David Louis, there might be Yaya Toure and so on in the future!”

Hearing that it was these players, Ivan de White’s eyes lit up. Today, they saw the performances of these players. Although they were still young, they were very strong. If these players come to their Ghent club, the strength of the Ghent club will certainly increase greatly. If they stay for two more years, their Ghent club is likely to win the Belgian Serie A championship.

What Evan de White is worried about now is that Zhong Cheng won’t be loaning these players to him for the long term.

Seeing Ivan de White’s worries, Zhong Cheng said, “Don’t worry, they have to stay in Belgium for two to three years before they can get their work permit. That means they have to stay with you for at least two seasons. I think that’s enough.” And in the future, our Leeds United club will continue to loan you our young talents. I don’t think you need to worry at all now!

Hearing Zhong Cheng’s words, Ivan de White and the others felt relieved.

Zhong Cheng also said: “Also, I hope that you can recruit all future Belgian geniuses to your club and nurture them well. In this way, all Belgian geniuses will gather at your club. It will be difficult for your club to succeed or not!” “What’s more, I hope you can recruit all future Belgian geniuses to your club and nurture them well!”

Zhong Chengshi continued: “Of course, you can use our Leeds United name to attract them, claiming that if they perform well, they can join our Leeds United Club directly in the future.” And after we reach an agreement, our Leeds United Club will also send excellent youth coaches to your club’s youth training to help you groom young players and follow up on our Leeds United loan players!

Ivan de White and the others nodded repeatedly. This was good.

Zhong Cheng said: “Our club also offers you a portion of the Petri fee every year. But there is one thing, when your team’s youth players leave the team, our Leeds United Club has the right of first refusal. Only if our Leeds United Club doesn’t like them can they transfer to other clubs!”

Evan de White frowned slightly.

Zhong Cheng immediately said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer a loss. After all, this is a player that we jointly groomed. We, Leeds United, should have some benefits, right?” Of course, I’m not so unreasonable. Our Leeds United will definitely make a reasonable bid. “Our leeds united team will definitely offer more than any other team, not less!”

Hearing this, Ivan de White and the others felt relieved. They looked at each other and nodded in agreement!
