The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 260
260 I’m Not Bargaining with You
Russ Diarra is leaving!
Zhong Cheng was truly shocked by this news. How could this be?
However, looking at Russ Diarra’s resolute gaze, Zhong Cheng knew that this fellow was not lying. He had made up his mind to leave Leeds United.
Zhong Cheng pondered for a moment and said, “Can you tell me why?”
“Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho found me and showed me the future plans he helped me with,” said Las Diarra without concealing anything. “His plan moved me. After all, it was one of my dreams to play and study beside Claude! I can’t miss this opportunity!”
Zhong Cheng frowned slightly and asked, “Claude?”
‘”Claude Makelele!” Said Russ Diarra with great admiration.
Zhong Cheng took a deep breath and said, “Is this the power of an idol?”
Las Diarra nodded firmly and said, “Yes!”
Zhong Cheng looked at Las Diarra carefully and said, “Don’t tell me you can’t learn anything by Demi’s side?”
Las Diarra said: “Demi is a player worthy of our learning, he is a good role model and idol.” His professionalism is something I have to learn, but in football, he and I are two extremes, we are not on the same path, he is not very helpful to me. And the one who suits me is Senior Claude. Mr. Mourinho has said that as long as I am Chelsea, Senior Claude will be my master!
Yes, Las Diarra is a pure defensive player, and the defense is not based on Albertini’s experience and cooperation. Las Diarra relies on running, sweeping, pre-judging, snatching and other fierce defensive methods. Albertini’s defensive style is not suitable for Las Diarra.
Las Diarra had long been claimed to be the “new Makelele”, so Zhong Cheng could naturally think of a way to go to Makelele.
“Damn Mourinho, you trash, you tricked me out of my back! Mourinho, just wait!” Zhong Cheng was very unhappy.
Zhong Cheng looked up at Las Diarra and said, “Have you really made up your mind?”
Las Diarra was filled with guilt. After all, it was Zhong Cheng who rescued him in the darkest days of his football career and brought him to England. Now that he had left him, this was truly too guilty. He felt extremely uncomfortable.
Las Diarra said apologetically, “Sorry, boss!”
‘”Sorry” had already explained the problem. Zhong Cheng waved his hand and sighed, “Since you have already made your decision, then I will not interfere!”
Las Diarra lowered his head in shame.
Zhong Cheng said: “Going to Chelsea may be helpful to your career, but you don’t have to! Do your best to go to Chelsea in the future, don’t disappoint me, and don’t lose face with Leeds United!”
Las Diarra raised his head excitedly and stared at Zhong Cheng, “Boss, you agree!”
Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, “Since you have a better place to go, why should I stop you? Don’t worry about the next matter. The club will talk to Chelsea. As long as they are really optimistic about you, they won’t retreat on the transfer fee!”
Las Diarra nodded and said, “Okay, boss!”
Zhong Cheng looked at Las Diarra again and said, “Alright, you can go down and wait for the news!”
Las Diarra nodded at Zhong Cheng and left.
Looking at Las Diarra’s back, Zhong Cheng sighed. He was really optimistic about Las Diarra, but unfortunately, this guy chose to leave.
Julia Olivera walked up and asked, “Boss, are you really going to let him go?”
Zhong Cheng said indifferently, “His heart is not here anymore. What’s the use of keeping him here?”
Julia Oliveira was slightly stunned, “This, this … will letting him leave so easily affect the other players in the club? There are a lot of players coveted by wealthy clubs now! Once this hole is opened, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
Zhong Cheng said, “Don’t worry, I still have confidence in my players. Of course, if they really want to leave, I won’t stop them. It’s hard to find a three-legged toad in this world, but it’s easy to find two people who can play football.”
At the thought of Zhong Cheng’s eyes, Julia Oliveira did not say anything.
It turned out that her boss was so confident, and Julia Olivera was filled with admiration.
–Division Line–
Zhong Cheng dialed Jose Mourinho’s number: “Hello, Mr. Jose!”
Jose Mourinho smiled and said, “Mr. Loria, you too! Why did you call me?”
Zhong Cheng faintly curled his lips and said, “Mr. Jose, let’s not go in circles. I can sell you Russ Diarra, but it depends on the price you pay!”
The corner of Jos é Mourinho’s mouth curled into a smile, as if everything was under control. He looked really cheap. If Zhong Cheng was really opposite him, he would definitely leave with his sleeves whisked and casually say that he was proud of himself!
Jose Mourinho said confidently: “Good! 6 million pounds, what do you think? Mr. Loria!”
‘”Looks like Mr. Jose doesn’t have the slightest sincerity. I don’t think we need to continue talking anymore. Goodbye, you’re so kind!” Zhong Cheng said with a chuckle.
Jos é Mourinho was stunned and then hurriedly said, “Mr. Loria, please wait! How much do you think is appropriate?”
Zhong Cheng sneered in his heart and then said coldly, “You should know the penalty for Russ Diarra. With £ 12 million, he is a member of your Chelsea Football Club!”
Jose Mourinho’s eyebrows rose in anger. This damn Madman Loria is really a lion who dares to ask for 12 million pounds. This is the first time he has seen money in his entire life. What is it?
Jose Mourinho said angrily, “Mr. Loria, it looks like you’re not ready to talk!”
Zhong Cheng snorted coldly, “If we don’t talk properly, would this lord call you? Didn’t you already think that this would happen when you were in private contact with the players who seduced me? Since you already understand, why are you pretending to be crazy and foolish here?”
Jose Mourinho took a deep breath. This damned Zhong Cheng was indeed not an easy person to provoke.
Jos é Mourinho pondered for a moment and said: “Yes! It would be wrong for me to get in touch with your players privately, but you have to know that joining us at Chelsea is more beneficial to the future of Las Diarra!”
Zhong Cheng sneered and said, “Is it more advantageous? You don’t mean it now. Everything depends on the truth!”
Jose Mourinho smiled bitterly and said: “At least he can learn from Claude. It’s good for his future. You can’t deny it.”
Zhong Cheng snorted coldly, but he didn’t say anything.
Jose Mourinho smiled and said: “If it’s good for Las Diarra, why don’t you let him come to Chelsea?”
Zhong Cheng sneered, “If I don’t let him come, I’ll give you a call?”
Jos é Mourinho smiled bitterly and said: “But you’re asking too much. 12 million is ridiculous!”
Zhong Cheng shouted coldly, “12 million is ridiculous? You should know that I bought 15 million pounds for a single Boumsong. Russ Diarra is more valuable than Boumsong. If it weren’t for Russ Diarra’s 12 million penalty, do you think you would be able to take him away with 12 million? 20 million less interview, okay?”
A lunatic, a complete lunatic!
A little young Las Diarra, you dare ask for 20 million? Holy shit, you’re fucking crazy. This damn Leeds United is really Tamar’s black shop, super black shop!
Jose Mourinho was furious, but he did not show it and said: “12 million is really too expensive. What do you think of 8 million?”
Zhong Cheng chuckled coldly and said, “Eight million, you want to buy my main team’s waist. Isn’t this looking down on our Leeds United Club too much?”
Jose Mourinho’s brows furrowed as he knew he was going to bleed today. He immediately said: “12 million is really too expensive, we Chelsea would not pay such a high price!”
Zhong Cheng was in no hurry and said indifferently, “Since that’s the case, there’s no need to talk about it! I don’t want to sell it anyway, so I have something to say to Las Diarra!”
Jose Mourinho’s face is gloomy. That’s what you really think, right? You never thought of selling Las Diarra, did you? Are you here to humiliate me?
Jose Mourinho was furious and said coldly, “Is that what you really think? You never thought of selling Las Diarra, did you?”
Zhong Cheng said indifferently, “I’ve already made a bid. It’s just that I haven’t started yet. Who can blame you for that? You Chelsea are so rich, why are you so scratching your back? This doesn’t suit your nouveau riche temperament. Didn’t Abramovich say that there’s no one in the world who can’t buy a football star? If you want to buy it, then throw the money at 30!”
Hiss! Jose Mourinho took a deep breath and his lungs were about to explode.
This fellow Madman Loria was actually waiting for him here. This fellow was really a dark-hearted fellow. Looks like this fellow Madman Loria is definitely going to eat him!
Jose Mourinho immediately said: “We are rich, but we are not fools! In that case, I think the deal is over!”
Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, “Then I have to thank you. Goodbye!”
Jose Mourinho’s heart skipped a beat: “Wait a minute, 10 million pounds! This is the final offer, I hope you think about it, Mr. Loria!”
Zhong Cheng also recognized that this was definitely Mourinho’s final offer!
However, Zhong Cheng will not let go of Jose Mourinho. Now that he has set a bottom line for the other side, it is time to fight for greater benefits.
Zhong Cheng nodded slightly and said, “Ten million is already quite a lot! But I still feel that it’s still a bit lacking! This doesn’t quite match Las Diarra’s strength and status. How about this, I suffer a loss of ten million plus Crespo for a year?”
Hearing this, Jose Mourinho truly understood Zhong Cheng’s intentions. He was prepared to bring Crespo with him.
Jos é Mourinho said directly: “If you want to rent Crespo, you can do it. 8 million plus Crespo for a year in exchange for Las Diarra!”
Zhong Cheng snorted coldly, “Put away your thoughts. I’m not bargaining with you. 10 million plus loan at Crespo for a year. You guys are responsible for Crespo’s wages. This is the final offer. If you agree, Las Mortgages will be yours. If you don’t agree, we’ll split up. Think about it carefully.”
Without waiting for Jose Mourinho to react, Zhong Cheng cut off the call.
On the other end of the phone, Jose Mourinho frowned, furious!
