The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 227
227 15 Million, Not Even a Penny Less
Los Angeles, USA!
In the northwest suburbs, there is a very good hotel.
The hotel seemed to be far away from the bustle of the city and quiet. The scenery around it was a bit like an American ranch. It looked like an idyllic natural affection.
The sports facilities of this hotel are very complete. It has golf courses, basketball courts, baseball courts, badminton courts, football fields and so on. Usually, more guests come here for sports training teams.
And now, it is Arsenal from London, England, who are training here.
The Arsenal man has been training here for almost a week and has played two warm-up games. Today they are undergoing pre-match training with Arsenal assistant coach Pat Rice.
At the moment, Arsenal coach Arsène Wenge is in his temporary office at the hotel.
Ars è ne Wenger’s chest rose and fell when he saw the reports from the media, as if a wave of anger was surging in his heart.
“Madman Loria! This damn lunatic! He’s actually waiting for me here! Good, very good!” Arsène Wenge’s eyes narrowed into a line, full of anger.
Obviously, Arsène Wenge saw Leeds United bring in French superstars Diaby and Alexander Song, which really pissed him off.
Arsène Wenge was very optimistic about the two of them. Especially now that Vieira is about to leave Arsenal, Arsène Wenge is hoping to bring the two to Arsenal to replace Vieira.
But now, these two people were actually snatched away by Madman Loria.
Damn it, Madman Loria, did God send you here to fight me?
Hey, something’s wrong! Why would I say “again”?
Ars è ne Wenger recalled Zhong Cheng’s interception of Nicklas Bendtner in London last year, which made Arsène Wenge even angrier. “Damn it, Madman Loria, you Tamar dug a corner of my wall. Wait for me, we won’t stop until we die!”
Arsène Wenge recently poached Pascal Chimbonda from Zhong Cheng and Wenger is happy that he has finally made it back. Unexpectedly, how long had it been? The two players he valued were directly dug away by Zhong Cheng. This was simply staring at him as a trap.
It’s weird that Arsène Wenge isn’t angry!
Arsène Wenge was upset to miss out on these two very good players. However, he also knows that he has to look elsewhere to find new good players to replace Vieira, Diaby and Alexander Song as soon as possible.
At the same time, Arsène Wenge thought to himself, “Madman Loria, from today onwards, we have a feud!”
–Division Line–
Zhong Cheng, who was far away in Belgium, naturally did not know what Arsène Wenge was feeling right now.
At this moment, Zhong Cheng did not have the leisure to care about this matter. Right now, Zhong Cheng was very busy, preparing for the new season.
Recently they have made some moves in the transfer market by signing some very promising players in Belgium: Moussa Dembele and Nasser Shadley.
Musa Dembele was 18 years old in 1987, while Nasser Shadley was 16 years old in 1989. Moussa Dembele came from Antwerp, but at this time he had no chance to play in Antwerp.
When Leeds United came looking for him, he and his father agreed without even thinking about it. This was a club from the Premier League.
Moussa Dembele is a versatile front-court player who can play either on the wing or in the centre. Being able to kick the front waist, kick the back waist, and even act as a guest striker, this was a good seedling.
Right now, the Leeds United Club still lacked people who could be used in the vanguard, so at this time, Zhong Cheng had brought in such a little demon. He was going to report to the Leeds United Club next season.
The transfer was not expensive at all and was settled with £ 200, 000.
Shadley is even easier. Although he is at Standard Liege Academy, he has yet to sign a contract with Standard Liege. He has been here for seven years.
When the Leeds United found him, he was about to leave Standard Liege when he was approached by an MVV Maastricht club from the Netherlands hoping to bring him to the Netherlands.
Nasser Shadley was interested. He was going to leave Holland. However, the Leeds United man found him and Nasser Shadley was more interested in Leeds and agreed to join the club.
However, Nasser Shadley is set to stay on loan at Ghent for a year or two, waiting for Nasser Shadley to bring Shadley back to Leeds United at the age of 18.
Nasser Shadley also knows that Ghent is a Leeds United Satellite Club where there are a lot of Leeds United youth players on loan.
But Nasser Shadley doesn’t want to stay in Belgium. He wants to go to England.
Zhong Cheng felt that it would be better to bring Nasser Shadley back to Leeds United and let him train with Azar, Lukaku and the others in the Leeds United Youth Team. This might be even more helpful to Nasser Shadley’s growth.
Zhong Cheng has brought in two more promising players, who are all future Premier League stars. Although he is not a superstar, there is no problem in playing in the Premier League.
Furthermore, Zhong Cheng believed that after being nurtured by Leeds United Youth Academy, these people would be more powerful than he remembered. Of course, the premise was that these people trained seriously and didn’t take detours.
It was easy to deal with these two players, and it would be a waste of Zhong Cheng’s time.
What Zhong Cheng is dealing with now is to bring in a £ 20 million heavyweight star to save Albertini. If Albertini is really seriously injured, then it will be over.
But so far, Zhong Cheng still hadn’t found a suitable star, because the salary of a star that exceeded 20 million pounds was too high. Not to mention that these people didn’t want to come to Leeds United, even if they came, their weekly salary would still be at least 50,000 to 60,000 pounds and could even reach around 100,000 pounds.
This salary is absolutely impossible for Leeds United. If this f*cking salary is 70,000 to 80,000 pounds a week, it would be weird if the representatives of the other Leeds United players don’t explode.
Therefore, the entire matter had to be handled with caution, and no matter how cautious it was!
–Division Line–
Leeds United have three more warm-ups in Belgium against Duisburg in the Bundesliga, Ajax in the Liga and Standard Liege in Belgium.
These three matches were considered to be more valuable, especially against Duisburg and Ajax. These two warm-up matches should be the most important matches in the Leeds United warm-up period. These two matches were a test of Leeds United’s strength.
At this moment, new news finally came from Boumsong’s side.
Newcastle United should be very interested in Boumsong, this time they will make a bid of 12 million pounds, the price is very high. A centre-back worth 12 million pounds in this era is amazing.
So the media who got the news thought Newcastle United were crazy to offer £ 12 m for a france fringe international. It was going crazy.
This was simply extremely unreasonable, completely unreasonable!
The English media have priced Mr Boumsong at £ 6 m, clearly belittling Mr Boumsong. Boumsong is priced between £ 8 m and £ 10 m in the German transfer market, which is unreliable.
Boumsong moved from Glasgow Rangers to Newcastle United for £ 8 million in his previous life.
However, the German media also thought that Newcastle United’s offer of £ 12 m for Boumsong was too much. The offer was simply insane.
Meanwhile Newcastle United are chasing Real Madrid striker Michael Owen. Their offer for Michael Owen was just £ 16 million, and Boumsong’s offer was ridiculously high.
The English media were all shocked to hear that Newcastle United were going crazy. They had actually spent so much money this season. Could it be that Newcastle United also wanted to be second in Leeds United?
In Zhong Cheng’s memories, Newcastle United really encountered the same tragic situation as Leeds United, that is, after the luxury shopping, the club was loaded. Fortunately, millionaire Ashley later paid for the Newcastle United’s recklessness.
But not two years after Ashley suffered a financial crisis, the team took action, Newcastle United into chaos, and ultimately did not escape demotion.
So the decline of Newcastle United is likely to have started with luxury purchases in recent seasons, especially this season, which has been too costly.
When Zhong Cheng received this offer, he was still not satisfied. He has said before that Boumsong would rot to death on the bench in the Reserves under £ 15 m.
Newcastle United say £ 12 m is their final offer. If the Leeds United did not agree, they could only choose to give up.
However, this threat was useless against Zhong Cheng, who had made up his mind that he would have to pay £ 15 m.
It wasn’t his loyalty that was in a hurry, it was Willie Makay and Boumsong!
Zhong Cheng replied very forcefully to Newcastle United, “Not even a single point less than 15 million!”
Zhong Cheng knew that this offer would soon reach Willie Makai’s ears, and it was this money-hungry fellow who was burning his eyebrows.
Sure enough, Willie Macaye was quick to hear the news from Newcastle United when he almost fainted from anger: “Damn Madman Loria, I swear I’m not going to stand against you!”
Willie Macaye hated Zhong Cheng to the bone. If he could, he really wanted to fight Zhong Cheng with a real person!
Of course, if Willie Macayi knew that Zhong Cheng was a kung fu master, he wouldn’t dare to have such an idea again.
