Chapter 23 For ten million!
"Do whatever it takes to get Southampton to withdraw the lawsuit!"
Alan Pardew's first reaction after hearing this was that it was impossible.
Although he was not familiar with Yang Huan, judging from the reaction of the Chinese that day, he did not think there was any possibility that Yang Huan would withdraw the lawsuit.
He believed that his assistants and lawyers must also understand this, and what they said was simply asking him to bow his head and beg for help.
"You want me to take the initiative to go to his house and ask him to withdraw the lawsuit?" Alan Padoo was so angry that his face turned blue and he was shaking all over.
who is he?
England's most promising new generation coach and future leader!
Although such an incident will have a great impact on his future, if he has to go to others to beg for help because of this, how can he continue to work in English football in the future?
But if he doesn't ask for help, he may face severe penalties if he loses the lawsuit.
In the UK, spreading rumors and libel is a serious crime, and Alan Pardew has made such a big fuss in newspapers and on TV before, so the punishment will be even more severe now. Not only will he be fined a huge sum of money, he may even face imprisonment and his reputation will be ruined for life.
"This is the only way at the moment. Please think about it carefully."
After he finished speaking, the assistants all stood up and said goodbye and left one by one.
"You guys..." Alan Pardew was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
These guys usually rely on his work to make money, but when the time comes, they betray him one by one. How unfair!
Watching his assistants leave one by one, Alan Pardew finally realized what it meant to be deserted by everyone and what it meant to have nowhere else to go. This is what he is feeling now!
"Is it really true that I can only ask him for help?"

…………
In Italy, the media often complain that players are stupid and like to find barbers, masseurs, taxi drivers and pizza bakers as their agents.
Among them, the one who bakes pizza is the fat Italian man in front of Yang Huan.
Mino Raiola.
Yang Huan has always believed that professional football is all about interests, and the most direct manifestation of interests is money.
As for those who want to find so-called loyalty and affection in professional football, it is like talking about chastity with a sex worker.
Raiola is a legendary figure. His family runs a pizza shop and he grew up serving dishes. He himself has never practiced football for a few days and cannot become a professional player, but he is very successful in the field of agent.
Bergkamp joined Inter Milan, Nedved joined Lazio and Juventus successively, Ibrahimovic went to Juventus... Almost every year, Raiola would have one or two amazing big moves.
But occasionally there would be some troubles. For example, last summer, he sent Ibrahimovic to Barcelona for a sky-high price, but just one year later, he received a notice from Barcelona to start looking for a new club for Ibrahimovic.
Twenty-nine years old is the golden age for a professional player, but his salary is too high and it is difficult to find a new club.
Currently, there are only two teams interested in Ibrahimovic, Manchester City in the Premier League and AC Milan in Serie A.
But now, there is Southampton, a League One team.
When Raiola heard from Yang Huan that Southampton wanted to sign Ibrahimovic, his first reaction was to laugh. He swore that this was definitely the funniest joke he had heard in some time.
"Mr. Yang Huan, I am very grateful for your favor to Zlatan," Raiola knew that Yang Huan was a big moneymaker from China and did not want to offend him, so he spoke politely, "But, unfortunately, Zlatan is a top player. He hopes to stay in the top league and play in the Champions League."
After a pause, he said a polite refusal, "But Southampton does not have all of these at the moment. Perhaps when Southampton returns to the Premier League, we will seriously consider the invitation from the Saints."
Yang Huan looked at Raiola in front of him with a faint smile. He was fat, but he did not give people a clumsy feeling.
Especially his eyes, a pair of eyes that anyone who saw them would find frighteningly shrewd.
"Is it impossible?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.
Raiola was a little puzzled. "I'm sorry, I can't find a reason to convince my players."
Yang Huan was still neither anxious nor angry, still with a faint smile, "You haven't heard the conditions I offered yet, why do you think it's impossible?"
When Raiola heard this, he sighed and said, "Okay, then what kind of conditions can Southampton offer?"
"Ibrahimovic's salary will be based on the standard he had during his time at Inter Milan, 12 million euros a year. If the team is successfully promoted, there will be an additional promotion bonus. If the promotion fails, he can terminate the contract freely."
After hearing this, Raiola was a little surprised. This clause was indeed tempting enough and most suitable for those who wanted to make a quick buck and leave.
"As for you, Mr. Raiola, leaving aside the rake and commission you get from the transfer, as long as you can bring Ibrahimovic to Southampton, I will give you an additional commission of 5 million euros personally!"
When Raiola heard this, his eyes lit up. Five million euros in commission?
According to preliminary estimates, Ibrahimovic's transfer fee is at least around 30 million euros. Based on the normal 10% commission, he can get 3 million euros, plus this 5 million euro commission, the total is 8 million euros.
Earned 8 million euros in one transfer deal!
Big deal!
It’s definitely a big deal!
"How is it?" Yang Huan took in Raiola's expression, but still asked calmly.
It looked as if he didn't care about this money at all.
Raiola was indeed somewhat tempted, but he knew even more clearly that Ibrahimovic would not agree.
After thinking about it seriously, he decided to refuse.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yang Huan, my players still want to continue playing in the top league."
After hearing this, Yang Huan smiled again, stretched out his right hand, and gestured, "An additional commission of seven million!"
As soon as Raiola picked up the coffee, his hand shook and he accidentally spilled the coffee.
He put down the coffee cup and looked at Yang Huan in disbelief, "Seven million?"
"I'll pay half first, and the other half after the deal is done."
Raiola's heart was pounding. He swore that he had never encountered such a profitable transfer deal, totaling almost 10 million euros. Even Jorge Mendes, who arranged Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid, could not get so much commission.
"I..." He felt a little dry-mouthed. His mind told him that it would be difficult to convince Ibrahimovic, but there was a constant reminder in his mind that he could give it a try, to try bravely.
For ten million!
But he was not someone who had never seen money before, and he had many star players under him. He quickly suppressed his desire for the generous commission and shook his head vigorously, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yang Huan, I can't convince my players."
"An additional commission of 10 million euros!" Yang Huan did not give him time to hesitate and raised the price again.
Raiola was completely dumbfounded!
What kind of world is this?
Who is this?
Is there anyone who spends money like this?
It's just like throwing it away!
He looked at Yang Huan with some despair. He really couldn't think of any reason to refuse. He even felt that even if Ibrahimovic was present, he had no reason to refuse.
Ten million euros. If this deal is completed, you can get ten million euros for free. Add the commission, it is simply an astronomical figure!
"Have you convinced your players?" Yang Huan asked calmly.
“That’s enough, that’s enough!”
He really wanted to say no, but he was afraid. What if he said no and Yang Huan changed his mind?
So, he didn't dare to refuse.
"I know that Mr. Raiola has a wide network of connections in European football. I have a list of players I want to bring in. Please help me negotiate. As long as the negotiation goes well, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
When Raiola looked at Yang Huan now, it was as if he saw a dazzling golden mountain, with his eyes full of sparkling golden light.
He took the list of players handed over by Yang Huan with some difficulty. There were more than a dozen names on the list. Some were easy, but some were difficult.
Raiola quickly saw a familiar name on the list, Paul Pogba.
Today, the young talented stars in Manchester United's youth training camp are highly valued by Ferguson, but they have never been given the opportunity to be promoted to the first team.
"Paul Pogba and Ravelle Morrison are two gems of Manchester United's youth training camp. Ferguson will not let them go."
After hearing this, Yang Huan laughed and said, "If my information is correct, Paul Pogba is your player, right?"
Raiola nodded. Paul Pogba had just joined his team not long ago.
"One million euros. If you can bring them to Southampton, I will give you one million euros as commission."
After hearing this, Raiola's head was buzzing. It was the first time he felt that money was so easy to make.
These two players have not yet played for Manchester United's first team, so it is not very difficult to transfer them and the transfer fee does not need to be too high. For these two players, Yang Huan gave them a commission of 1 million euros. What about Mascherano?
OMG!
I'm going to be rich!
Great success!
Raiola has never been so excited as he is now. He was directly stunned by Yang Huan's money and had no thought of refusing. Now his mind was full of only one thought: if he holds on to this thick thigh, he will never have to worry in his life!
"Master Yang Huan, I promise you that I will convince Zlatan to transfer to Southampton no matter what. I will definitely convince him."
Yang Huan was very satisfied with his attitude and nodded with a smile. "Talk to Barcelona about the transfer fee. I believe you should be clear about Barcelona's requirements. As for the rest, go ahead and talk. I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"I understand!" Raiola lowered his head.
Yang Huan was very satisfied with the results of the negotiations and also very satisfied with Raiola's attitude, so he left with great satisfaction.
After watching Yang Huan leave, Raiola was still excited. He even secretly slapped himself twice after Yang Huan left. It was very painful, and then he made sure he was not dreaming.
"Oh my god, this is not a dream!"
"I've heard that Chinese people are rich, but I didn't expect them to be this rich. It's scary!"
It took him ten minutes to calm down. Raiola quickly grabbed his phone and called Ibrahimovic in Barcelona.
But I was thinking in my mind, how should I convince Ibrahimovic?
