Chapter 436: Black Eats Black
Three days later, the anxious Mendes found ways to get Yang Huan, who was on vacation in the Caribbean with Yoona, back to the UK through his old friends Peter Nian and Pini ofli Harvey.
When Yang Huan met Jorge Olades, the Portuguese did not look at all like his usual slicked-back, cheerful face.
Especially that stubble, you must have forgotten to shave it for several days, right?
"Hello, Jorge," Yang said with a smile, pointing at the rosewood chair in front of him, motioning the Portuguese to take a seat.
The aroma of tea soon spread out, and people who smelled it couldn't help but feel much more energetic.
"Mr. Yang Huan, the main reason I came here this time is to discuss cooperation." Mendes said respectfully.
Although there are many teams in debt, it is not easy to find a team that is willing to cooperate with them wholeheartedly.
Especially considering that Atletico Madrid has had many years of cooperation with them.
In this line of work, it is better to do something familiar than to do something new.
"I know," Yang Huan nodded.
Mendes thought that Yang Huan was very interested in continuing to cooperate with them, and he immediately became excited.
Unexpectedly, Master Huan changed the subject.
"But I'm sorry, I like to play games that I know the rules of and can control."
This immediately made Mendes' face freeze.
What Master Huan meant was that I don't understand your rules of the game and I can't completely control my team, so I'm not interested in cooperating with you.
Not long ago, Yang Huan, Qin Yongming and Qian Duoduo signed an agreement in Monaco under the witness of Zhuang Ziqing.
A year later, Atletico Madrid was sold to Yang Huan for 100 million pounds as repayment of gambling debts.
The reason why it takes one year is because Qin Yongming and Qian Duoduo still need to return to China to deal with their father.
In just over two months, they lost tens of millions of euros.
The main thing is to use the money to pay off debts when acquiring the team.
Now, Yang Huan takes over a financially healthy Atletico Madrid team, but without much operating funds.
Therefore, Yang Huan had to invest part of the funds to introduce players while maintaining the daily operations of the club.
In Yang Huan's opinion, it is very difficult to get back the gambling debts anyway, and even the interest is difficult to maintain. It is better to exchange it for a La Liga team for fun. Even if he meets a sincere buyer after a few years and cashes out at an appropriate price, it will still be quite cost-effective.
Besides, Yang Huan already has teams in the Premier League and Ligue 1, so he doesn't mind having another La Liga team.
The only hidden danger is the third-party ownership of several players on the team.
"You are the majority shareholder of Falcao's ownership. You have the final say on the transfer. I will notify them to cooperate."
Mendes was a little surprised. He didn't expect Yang Huan to be so easy to talk to.
"Mr. Yang Huan, I..."
But Yang Huan didn't even give him a chance to speak and interrupted him without any hesitation.
"I want to know how many of your players are still in Atletico Madrid?"
Jorge Ol丨des was stunned.
Judging from the situation, is Yang Huan planning to settle this messy account?
Peter Nian and Pini ofli Harvey, who were sitting next to them, remained silent.
They all knew Yang Huan's character very well. Young Master Huan would never allow his players to be controlled by others.
In his opinion, players who may leave the team at any time and have no control over their own decisions are simply mines buried in the team. The players have no loyalty and the team has no security.
It's better to break up as soon as possible.
Yang Huan saw that Jorge Ol丨des didn't say anything, and smiled faintly, "A lot?"
This invincible super agent who has dominated the European professional football scene felt a little flustered and at a loss at this time.
Seeing him like this, Pini ofli Harvey was so happy.
It was as if Yang Huan had avenged him.
"No, not much," Jorge Ol丨des replied quickly.
"Who are they?" Yang Huan asked.
Mendes hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak.
This kind of thing can be easily discovered after the other party takes over the team.
"In addition to Falcao, we own the majority of the forward Pizzi and the defender Silvio, and we own 20 percent of Salvio."
Apart from Falcao, Pizzi and Silvio were people Yang Huan had never heard of and were obviously not well-known.
These two players should be placed by Mendes in Atletico Madrid to gain experience and wait for opportunities.
Once he makes a name for himself in Atletico Madrid, his value will increase exponentially.
"How many players do you represent?" Yang Huan asked again.
Mendes was shocked again. He wouldn't even let go of the players he represented?
Thinking of this, Mendes gritted his teeth and said, "Midfielders Thiago and Diego"
Yang Huan had been paying attention to Mendes' expression. He smiled and said, "Mr. Mendes, oh, no, please allow me to call you Jorge. I want to say that I am very willing to cooperate with you and hope that we can have the opportunity to cooperate."
Mendes was somewhat caught off guard by Yang Huan's change of attitude and could only listen silently but carefully.
"I understand you've already made an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain, right?"
Yang Huan's words immediately stunned Jorge Ol丨des.
How did he know?
"Don't ask me how I know this. What I want to say is that I allowed Falcao's transfer, but I have requirements."
Mendes had no idea what Yang Huan was thinking. How did he know so much?
If Mendes knew that Yang Huan had a younger brother named Hamad and that the people from Paris Saint-Germain had to be polite and respectful when they saw him, he would not be so surprised.
However, since I can't figure it out, I can only admit defeat and bow my head.
"Please speak."
"Like I said, Falcao can transfer, we don't want Pizzi and Silvio, you take them."
Mendes nodded, this is not a big problem.
"Salvio, you can make a choice, either buy out the remaining 80% directly, or sell the remaining 20% to me at the original price. I will not allow the ownership of my players to be involved by a third party."
Mendes could only nod.
He found that he couldn't say anything and couldn't make any decision when facing Yang Huan.
After all, the other party is too strong and knows this market too well.
When you find that there is a huge gap in strength between you and your opponent, you can only admit defeat.
It seems that the reason why Qin Yongming and Qian Duoduo decided to sell Atletico Madrid at a loss is probably because they knew very well in their hearts that they simply did not have the level to play with a big player like Mendes.
If you really get into this game, you may be swallowed up without leaving any bones at any time.
Therefore, they finally chose to cut off their own flesh and blood.
"If I remember correctly, Diego should be on loan from Wolfsburg, right?" Yang Huan smiled slightly.
Mendes didn't dare to say anything, which was considered as his agreement.
"Please tell Diego that the team will not give him a salary increase or buy out his contract. He should go back to Wolfsburg. As for Thiago, he is an organizing midfielder that the team lacks. We hope he can stay, but if he wants to leave, we will not force him to stay."
Mendes was also a smart man and quickly understood Yang Huan's intention.
This is carrot and stick.
Diego had a poor performance at Juventus before, but he has recently been reborn at Atletico Madrid.
But as soon as he started to perform well, his father began to threaten Atletico Madrid, demanding a salary increase and buying out Diego's loan contract.
Yang Huan's current attitude is, no salary increase, no contract buyout, go back to where you came from, we at Atletico Madrid don't need someone like you
In addition, no players with third-party ownership will be retained, while the players represented by Mendes can make their own decisions, making it clear that they do not mind continuing the cooperation, on the premise that everything must be done according to Master Huan's rules.
The rich are the boss, and now Master Huan is the boss
At the same time, this also shows an attitude that Atletico Madrid is no longer the team that was heavily in debt and allowed to be threatened by players and agents.
From now on, anyone who wants to leave can leave, and the club will never force them to stay.
After hearing this, Pini ofli Harvey and Peter Kearnian looked at each other with admiration.
By doing this, Master Huan can not only intimidate the agents and some half-hearted players, but also stabilize those players, staff and even administrative staff who are loyal to the club.
That is, they have bid farewell to the days of being worried about the team going bankrupt and being sold to pay off debts.
Mendes was also a little stunned by Yang Huan's series of actions.
This Young Master Huan's moves are truly extraordinary, and they do not follow common sense at all.
Just when Mendes had not yet completely recovered from his surprise, Yang Huan spoke again.
"Jorge"
"Ah?" Mendes replied quickly.
"I heard that Porto is just like your backyard. Is that true?" Yang Huan smiled.
Mendes had no idea what Yang Huan meant, but how could he hide such a thing from others?
"I still have some right to make suggestions on many of Porto's player transfers."
Yang Huan smiled after hearing this. This was a polite way of saying it. A more impolite way of saying it was that he could make his own decision.
It can be seen how powerful third-party investment institutions are in the Portuguese Super League.
"Well, I have a deal here, are you interested?"
"Please speak."
"I think this way. Atletico Madrid owns 45% of Falcao's shares. I don't want cash. It doesn't matter to me how much you sell it for. I will use this 45% of the shares to exchange for a few people with you."
several?
Mendes was surprised again.
Why is it that this young master is always so generous when he makes his moves?
"Porto midfielders Mangala and Otamendi..."
When Mendes heard these two names, he immediately began to think and calculate.
Argentine central defender Otamendi was Porto's main central defender last season. He is 24 years old and performed well.
As for Mangala, the 21-year-old Frenchman was a substitute among substitutes last season, but they and Porto spent 6.5 million euros to introduce him from Standard Liege in Belgium.
"Two Brazilian full-backs, Danilo and Alex Sandro, and Portuguese midfielder Moutinho"
When Jorge Ol丨des heard what Yang Huan said, he was stunned. He looked at Yang Huan stupidly and forgot to answer.
Five players, two absolute main players, three promising stars, isn't the spending of this young master too big?
Wait, Falcao's 45% stake can't be exchanged for so many players.
Not to mention anything else, the total cost of bringing in these five players is more than 30 million euros.
According to the price he and Paris Saint-Germain have agreed on, Falcao is only 60 million euros, 45%, that is 27 million euros, plus the 5 million euros owed by Atletico Madrid, then...
Just when Mendes was about to speak, Yang Huan smiled and spoke first.
"Of course, Falcao's 45% stake is not worth that much money. I always do business with mutual consent and everyone is happy. Only a win-win situation can make the business last long."
Mendes kept nodding his head. This was the truth.
"How about this? I'll give you another 10 million euros. What do you think?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.
Mendes was stunned
There was only one thought left in his mind, that was
Too fucking dark
Everyone says that Porto is a shady place, but compared with Yang Huan, it is nothing.
Among the five players, Moutinho is an active Portuguese international and a core midfielder. With a little hype, he is worth the least, 20 million euros.
Otamendi is an Argentine international with a high price tag. He has also performed well in Porto and is worth at least 15 million euros.
Mangala, Danilo and Alex Sandro, these three players are all talents that Mendes carefully selected through his own scouting network and spent a lot of money to introduce.
Just imagine, with Mendes's shrewdness, would he have spent a lot of money to bring him in if he was not sure that the player had a bright future?
According to Yang Huan's method of exchange, although Mendes did not suffer any loss, it was like making a wedding dress for others, and Yang Huan got it for free.
This is simply the way black robs black.
Is it okay not to change it?
What would you do if Yang Huan gets upset and directly announces that Falcao is not for sale?
Is it necessary to cut the Colombian center into two halves, leaving one half in Madrid and sending the other half to Paris?
Don't wait to play like this
Master Huan is rich and willful, but Mendes can't afford to play with him.
He still has to explain to the company's shareholders.
When he thought of this, Mendes' face was filled with depression, but he could do nothing about it.
Yang Huan took in his expression and laughed secretly in his heart.
In my territory, I am the only one who has the final say.
Either you agree, or we'll go our separate ways.
I wouldn't mind seeing third-party ownership disputes like the one between Tevez and Mascherano happen again.
Let's see who will be unlucky by then.
"Oh, that's right."
Suddenly, a person flashed through Yang Huan’s mind.
"When you are talking to Paris Saint-Germain about Falcao, please ask someone to come with you."
Having said this, Master Huan smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, in the eyes of Paris Saint-Germain, this person is insignificant, they will give it to you promptly"
But Master Huan's smile left a bottomless shadow in Mendes' heart.
Too dark, too smart
