David Gill and Joel Glazer looked at each other, their expressions incredibly awkward.

A while later.

David Gill finally realized what was happening and tentatively asked, "Lee, have you forgotten that... before our match against Barcelona, ​​Leeds United made us an offer?"

Li Shiguang blinked, his expression innocent: "I haven't forgotten."

David Gill breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, wasn't your offer 85 million euros back then?"

A moment of silence.

Li Shiguang looked at David Gill as if he were an idiot: "David... but you rejected that offer back then!"

? ? ?

Are you fucking exploiting a bug here?

After Li Shiguang finished speaking...

David Gill instantly understood what he meant!

The initial quote was rejected, so now a new quote is needed!

Moreover, judging from Li Shiguang's attitude, the revised offer probably won't even reach 85 million euros...

really!

It took less than three seconds.

Li Shiguang spoke up again: "Buying and selling players is actually just like buying stocks. There are always highs and lows. At the time, Cristiano was indeed worth 85 million euros. But now, in my opinion, his value is no longer worth 85 million euros, is it?"

“Li…Cristiano is only 23 years old. Given his age and current achievements, I don’t think his value will decline.” David Gill’s face was grim.

“Achievements?” Li Shiguang raised an eyebrow, his tone somewhat disdainful. “What achievements has he made? Are you referring to the 2006 League Cup title or last year’s runner-up in the FIFA World Player of the Year award?”

Perhaps feeling that Li Shiguang's manner was too arrogant, Joel Glazer couldn't help but speak up: "He's the hottest star in the world right now! Mr. Li, watch your words!"

If the person sitting opposite him now were Malcolm Glazer, that cunning Jewish old fox, Li Shiguang might still be a little wary.

Unfortunately, Malcolm Glazer suffered a stroke in 2006 and is currently receiving treatment in the United States. His poor health did not allow him to travel the long distance from the United States to Manchester.

And the one he sent was Joel Glazer.

In Li Shiguang's view, it was clearly a novice, at least in the world of football.

So, as soon as Jon Glazer finished speaking, Li Shiguang retorted without hesitation: "Mr. Glazer, come on! The hottest star in the world is not at Manchester United, but at my Leeds United! Last year it was Kaká, this year it might be Kaká, Adriano or Bale, but it will definitely not be Cristiano Ronaldo."

“You…” Joel Glazer still wanted to argue.

But David Gill, who was standing next to him, grabbed his hand and stopped him.

The soon-to-be CEO of Manchester United remained calm throughout. He understood what Li Shiguang wanted to do, and he was also very clear about Manchester United's situation when facing the issue of Ronaldo.

David Gill shook his head slightly at Joel Glazer, whose face showed some anger.

Then he turned to Li Shiguang and said, "Li, we don't need to dwell on this issue for too long. You can give us a price first, and then we can have substantive negotiations."

As expected of a CEO, he managed to remain calm even after being so arrogant.

Li Shiguang glanced at David Gill imperceptibly, then nodded: "OK, let's get down to business. 75 million euros is a reasonable price in my opinion right now!"

This price was decided by Li Shiguang before he arrived in Manchester today.

Although they made promises to Ronaldo back then, those were just promises.

It's worth noting that when Real Madrid paid Juventus a record-breaking €77.5 million for Zidane, Zidane had already won the World Cup, the European Championship, and two FIFA World Player of the Year awards.

It can be said that Zidane at that time had won every honor except the Champions League title.

in this case.

It's understandable that Real Madrid would pay such a high transfer fee.

But not Cristiano Ronaldo.

Apart from Li Shiguang, no one in this world knows how much Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will achieve in the next decade or so.

The praise surrounding these two players now is largely a prediction based on their performance on the field!

Li Shiguang is currently negotiating a real deal with Manchester United, and he's not going to voluntarily spend money on something like this.

Besides.

When it comes to business, there's always a give and take. If you ask for a slightly lower price, you'll have more room to negotiate!

As Li Shiguang had predicted.

This price has just been announced.

The two people sitting opposite each other shook their heads at the same time.

David Gill refused categorically, "Impossible, Lee, that price is too low, we can't accept it under any circumstances!"

"Low?" Li Shiguang looked completely innocent. "I think it's just right. Although Cristiano has performed quite well this year, Manchester United hasn't won anything, which has affected the team's results..."

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Li Shiguang hadn't finished speaking.

Ferguson, who was sitting next to him, suddenly coughed violently.

Li Shiguang glanced strangely at Ferguson, who hadn't uttered a word since he entered the meeting room, and then continued, "Received the ball..."

"Cough!! Cough!! Cough!!"
