Chapter 639 Thank you for killing me!

In the absence of any major events, the Premier League's chairman's summit was just a formality.

Before the meeting started, Richard Scudmore, as usual, gave an introduction to the situation of the Premier League this season.

For example, how will the bonuses be distributed, how much fixed bonus each team will get, how much floating bonus there will be, etc.

These have already been reported in the media, but as per convention, I still have to talk about them again.

Because of the implementation of new broadcasting contracts at the beginning of the new season, the income of each team will generally increase by at least 30%. That is to say, even the team ranked at the bottom will be able to catch up with the previous championship team in terms of the total money they will receive after the end of the season.

As for the winning team this season, its revenue is likely to exceed 100 million yuan, and the key still depends on the broadcast of Sky TV.

In addition, regarding the funds to be invested in the Glorious Revolution Youth Training Reform Program, Richard Scudmore, as per convention, still had to confirm with every boss present and only distribute the funds after obtaining everyone's unanimous consent.

After that, there are a lot of trivial matters, most of which are money-making projects, but many of them are also expenses from previous years.

In the past few years, the owners of the Premier League have changed again and again, and managers have also changed a lot, so many people are confused, so they ask questions, and Richard Scudmore explains it again, and time just passes.

The meeting ended at the end when Yang Huan started to feel sleepy.

When I stood up from the chair, I felt sore in my back, leg cramps, and felt uncomfortable all over.

"Let's go and have dinner!" Yang Huan suggested to Hamad.

“Where are we going to eat?”

"Nonsense, of course it's Southampton. What else is delicious here?" Yang said with a laugh.

Daniel Levy wanted to laugh when he heard this, "Master Huan, you are almost bringing all the famous delicacies in London to Southampton!"

After exchanging polite words with the bosses present, Yang Huan was the first to leave the meeting room.

Hamad and Daniel Levy immediately followed and left as well.

But when Yang Huan and others took the elevator to the courtyard downstairs, they found that the Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes came to greet them with a smile.

"Master Huan, what a coincidence!"

When Yang Huan saw this guy, he was a little surprised at first, but then he laughed, "Yeah, what a coincidence, if someone didn't know, they would definitely think that you, Mr. Mendes, were waiting for me here on purpose!"

Even though Jorge Mendes was very thick-skinned, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed after hearing this.

"Master Huan, can we talk for a few words?"

Now that they have come to him, how can Yang Huan say no?

So the two of them walked into the courtyard of the afternoon tea restaurant, found a table and sat down.

As for Hamad and Daniel Levy, they ran into the hotel lobby.

"Master Huan, I'll get straight to the point!" Jorge Mendes knew that Yang Huan didn't have a very good impression of him. If he continued to talk too much, it might give Yang Huan a bad impression, so it would be better to cut the Gordian knot and be straightforward.

"My employer wants Mandzukic. I have already spoken to Atletico Madrid's Soriano and Begiristain, but I think it is necessary to talk to you."

Yang Huan smiled slightly, and couldn't help but admire in his heart that Mendes was really a smart guy.

If Atletico Madrid wants to sell Mandzukic, they will definitely ask Yang Huan for his opinion.

There is no way. He is the son and I am the father. How can my son want to do business without asking for my opinion?

And selling it to Chelsea is tantamount to damaging Southampton's interests.

"I know that Manchester City also needs a center forward. Pellegrini is also very interested in Mandzukic and has even made an offer, but I believe that after introducing Navas, Jovetic and Fernandinho, Manchester City will definitely not be able to offer a high price for Mandzukic."

"By the same token, Bayern Munich is also interested in Mandzukic, but they have just bought out Gotze's contract. Guardiola's top target is Lewandowski. Even if Mandzukic is brought in, it will only be a transitional move, so Bayern Munich cannot offer too high a price."

Even as a negotiating opponent, Yang Huan had to admire that Mendes' analysis did make sense.

Manchester City's offer is 30 million pounds, which is about 35 million euros. Bayern Munich's bid is similar, and will not exceed 40 million euros.

However, Atletico Madrid offered Chelsea a sky-high price of 80 million euros, which is almost double the other offers.

How could Chelsea possibly accept this?

After listening to what Mendes said, Yang Huan suddenly laughed, "Jorge, can I ask you a question?"

"Master Huan, please excuse me!"

"Why was Pepe sold for 30 million euros back then?

Mendes was obviously stunned. He didn't expect Yang Huan to bring up old matters with him. This gave him a good opportunity to explain himself.

"Also," Yang Huan did not give him a chance to explain, "Why did Falcao's transfer fee keep rising from Porto to Atletico Madrid to Paris Saint-Germain?"

"Also, why is Coentrao able to sell for 30 million euros?"

Mendes smiled bitterly, he did feel a little tricky.

The key issue is that Yang Huan knows football too well!

That’s why some media say that he is the club owner who understands football best in Europe!

Yang Huan had been silently watching the changes in Mendes' expression and knew what was going on.

The reason why he knew so much was, on the one hand, that he was well prepared, and on the other hand, that he was studious.

At least he is not like other bosses who have no interest in football, or only a little interest in it.

On the contrary, he really likes football, so he wants to know everything about it.

He didn't understand it when he first came to Europe, but now, under the influence of veteran players such as Raiola, Pini Zahavi, Cash Harris, Bielsa, Peter Kenyon, etc., if Yang Huan still doesn't know how to deal with Mendes, then he should really jump into the Thames and commit suicide.

"Jorge!" Yang Huan likes the feeling of having the initiative everywhere.

Mendes raised his head and looked at Master Huan, but avoided looking at him.

"Let's stop talking about those empty words and talk about something real!"

Mendes sighed inwardly and nodded.

"Now all of Europe knows that Chelsea is short of a center forward. Everyone knows Mourinho's habits in employing players. You need Mandzukic, but we don't necessarily want to sell him. Therefore, in this negotiation, we are the ones who hold the initiative, not you!"

Mendes found that he could only nod now!

"Don't tell me how much we spent on Mandzukic a year ago. That's our own business, but what we want to talk about now is that you want to poach Mandzukic from us."

At this point, Yang Huan laughed.

"If I may be blunt, we are willing to slaughter you fat sheep, and that is because we are giving you face!"

Mendes felt his face burning and stinging.

Does it mean that after being ripped off, we should thank others for ripping us off?

But it can’t be said to be wrong, because if you have the ability, don’t buy Mandzukic!

If we don’t buy Mandzukic, is there any other suitable player in Europe?

"Master Huan, I understand what you mean!" Mendes could only endure it. Who asked him to ask for help?

"But, is Mandzukic's transfer fee..."

The Croatian center forward is already 27 years old. Although he is at his peak, the sky-high price of 80 million euros is too outrageous, right?

“You think it’s expensive?”

Mendes said nothing, but nodded.

"Then please turn left or right. I believe you can find more suitable players in other teams!"

Yang Huan's words almost made Mendes cry.

What do you mean?

That is to say, we either pay such a high price or simply don't buy it?

Our players are sold at such a high price, it’s up to you to buy them or not!

In fact, Mendes himself knows it well.

With Chelsea's current lineup configuration, if they want to compete for the top four in the league in the new season, there may still be hope by introducing a strong center forward, but if there is no strong center forward, it will probably be difficult to achieve.

He had also considered whether he could bring Falcao from Paris Saint-Germain.

After all, the latter does not require this price at all, and it can be done with a maximum of more than 60 million euros.

But he finally gave up.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Mandzukic is a very suitable center forward. What's more rare is that Mourinho likes him very much, and his joining can indeed enhance Chelsea's deterrence in the midfield and frontcourt.

In other words, the players are indeed useful and needed, but they are too expensive!

Yang Huan saw that Mendes was in hesitation and knew what was going on. He laughed twice, stood up, patted his butt, and prepared to leave.

“Jorge, think about it carefully. Or, wait until Roman comes down and discuss it with him. We can talk about it later!”

Anyway, it's you who are in a hurry, what does it have to do with me?

If you really don't want to buy it, the worst that can happen is that I sell it to Bayern Munich. Wouldn't that just make less money?

But what about you?

After losing Mandzukic, can we find a suitable replacement in the transfer market?

Moreover, the competition for the top four in the league in the new season is so fierce, can you take such a risk?

As soon as Mendes saw Yang Huan was about to leave, he became anxious.

This transfer really can't be delayed any longer!

The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for Chelsea!

Because once time is tight, it is easy to create a sky-high price!

How many high-priced transfers were finalized at the last minute in the transfer market?

Moreover, the Premier League is about to start, so we have to recruit players as soon as possible.

"Young Master Huan!" Mendes also quickly stood up and called out to Yang Huan.

"I might as well make the decision myself. Sixty million euros, I agree on behalf of Chelsea!"

When Yang Huan heard this, he immediately laughed, "Jorge, did I hear it wrong? Or did you say it wrong?"

"Sixty million euros? I said eighty million euros!"

Mendes was depressed. This Young Master Huan was really stingy. Why was he so stubborn?

80 million euros?

If Chelsea really signed Mandzukic for 80 million euros, they would be laughed at by teams all over Europe.

By that time, everyone treated Chelsea as a fool.

From now on, if Chelsea sets its sights on a player from another club, won’t the other club have to ask for a huge sum of money?

When Mendes thought of this, he couldn't help but want to back out.

This deal is not a good deal no matter how you look at it.

"Master Huan, can't it be any cheaper?"

Mendes looked at Yang Huan with an almost pleading look, as if to say, can you just consider this as giving me face?

After hearing this, Yang Huan frowned and thought for a while, then clicked his tongue twice in succession.

"Well, Jorge, if you come in person, I'll give you face and give you 70 million euros, not a penny less!"

Jorge Mendes felt very honored.

In Young Master Huan's eyes, my face is worth 10 million euros!

Moreover, Young Master Huan seemed to be very considerate, cutting down 10 million euros at once. What kind of courage and sincerity did he show?

Thinking of this, Mendes knew that this was the final reserve price.

"Master Huan, excuse me, I need to make a phone call!"

Yang Huan nodded. He knew that Mendes would definitely have to ask Abramovich upstairs for instructions.

Who knows, the Russians are probably somewhere now, watching them secretly.

Whenever Yang Huan thought of the Russians’ angry expressions, he wanted to laugh.

Let's see if you dare to show off again in the future! R1148
