Chapter 664: Killing Father Mo

The Qatari royal family undoubtedly knows how to enjoy life.

They built a luxurious summer villa on the seashore of Crescent Bay Island. The hall was very spacious and faced the sea in the distance.

The cool breeze blowing from the sea blows into the hall, bringing a touch of coolness in the hot summer.

A set of solid wood coffee tables, a few soft floor mats, and a pot of tea with a faint aroma, this is the entire negotiation scene.

Everyone sat on the ground, either facing or sideways to the sea, which was quite pleasant.

Before the negotiations, Morati's side was obviously well prepared.

Or maybe, this preparation is not just for talking to Yang Huan, but also includes other people.

First of all, Marco Fassone introduced Inter Milan’s current situation, such as the first-team players.

Yang Huan had to say with regret that there were really not many players in Inter Milan whose names he could pronounce.

For example, Samuel, Zanetti, Cambiasso and Diego Milito are all famous European players, and he naturally knows them.

Among the new generation of players, Yang Huan had also heard of goalkeeper Handanovic, because he performed very well in the Serie A last season and won widespread recognition in European football.

Another one is the Argentine striker Icardi, who was brought in from Sampdoria for 12.5 million euros.

These two players are names that Yang Huan is familiar with among the new generation of Inter Milan.

After hearing Fassone introduce Inter Milan's lineup, Yang Huan frowned and asked curiously.

"By the way, Mr. Fassone, please forgive me for the indignation, but how old are Zanetti, Milito, Cambiasso, Samuel and others?"

After hearing Yang Huan's question, Morati and the other two were all stunned. Then they looked uncomfortable, even embarrassed, especially Morati, who just blushed.

Cash Harris stood aside and winked at Young Master Huan.

There is a saying that goes, you can't point at a monk and scold a bald man. Master Huan is usually very smart, why is he doing such a thing today? Isn't he afraid of angering Moratti?

But after Yang Huan saw his eyes, he secretly made a reassuring gesture to him.

This made Cash Harris even more puzzled. Was Young Master Huan doing this on purpose?

"Uh...this..." Fassone was called on to answer a question. He didn't know whether to answer or not to answer. He was in a dilemma.

Seeing him like this, Yang Huan simply stretched out his hand, signaling Fassone to give him the player list and information.

I took it and looked at it, and immediately laughed.

"Zanetti is really strong. At the age of 40, he can still gain a foothold in Inter Milan. His number of appearances is second only to goalkeeper Handanovic. Great!"

This originally sounded like a compliment, but to Morati and the other two, it sounded like sarcasm.

"Oh, Cambiasso is 33, Samuel is 35, and Diego Milito is 34."

Reading this, Yang Huan laughed, "No wonder, I always felt that I had heard of their names when I was very young, but I didn't expect that they are still playing football when I have grown up so much."

This remark once again made Morati and others extremely embarrassed.

Look at what Master Huan said. When he was very young, this group of players had already made a name for themselves in European football. But Master Huan is now in his twenties, and this group of players are still the main players in Inter Milan.

What does this mean?

Could it be that Inter Milan specializes in cultivating evergreen players?

"Well, Mr. Yang Huan, age is actually not a big problem. As long as you stay in good shape, there will be no problem at all!"

Moratti defended, "Let's not talk about other teams. AC Milan's soul Paolo Maldini played until he was 41 years old before retiring. He was also a major contributor to AC Milan's winning of the Champions League."

Yang Huan finally understood what was said and laughed secretly in his heart.

What Father Mo meant was that AC Milan produced a Maldini, so we should also have a Zanetti.

We are our neighbors, we can’t let AC Milan outdo us, right?

"I understand, I understand!" Yang Huan nodded with a smile and said nothing more.

Marco Fassone now found it difficult to continue speaking.

Because originally according to Moratti's intention, after he introduced the team, he should give an estimate of the players in the team, which is 100 million euros. But now after listening to what Master Huan said, how could he possibly believe that this lineup of Inter Milan was worth 100 million?

It's not just Yang Huan. If I really tell this to others, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

A group of players in their thirties or even forties, plus a few unknown young men, worth 100 million?

Can you please stop kidding?

It can be said that Yang Huan's sudden and impolite words hit the nail on the head and completely disrupted their rhythm.

So, Fassone couldn't help but look to Moratti for help. The latter was also helpless and nodded slightly.

This is equivalent to hinting to Fassone that he can do it according to his own ideas.

Since the rhythm and plan have been disrupted, it is better to play freely instead of being led by others.

So Fassone simply closed the document, thought for a moment, and prepared to continue speaking.

But who would have thought that at this moment, Yang Huan suddenly spoke again.

"By the way, Mr. Fassone, where did Inter Milan rank in Serie A last season?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned again.

How come every word Yang Huan said was like a knife stabbing directly into their hearts?

"ninth!"

"Oh, about the cup competition..."

Fassone hesitated again, and had no choice but to speak again.

"In the 2011-2012 season, we ranked sixth in the league and missed out on European competitions, and last season in the Italian Cup, we were eliminated in the semi-finals, so..."

So there is no need to say more about what comes next.

Yang Huan nodded in sudden realization, "I see, I see."

Fassone felt a little frustrated.

Although they had done sufficient preparation before coming to the negotiations and were mentally prepared, knowing that they would be at a disadvantage in the negotiations, they never expected that from the very beginning of the negotiations, they would become completely defenseless and unable to fight back.

This made him extremely frustrated because he had no idea how the negotiations could continue.

But just when he was feeling depressed, Yang Huan once again raised a heavy question.

"By the way, how were the team's finances last season?"

After hearing this question, Fasone's whole heart trembled.

Not only him, but also Moratti and Blanca were equally shocked.

In fact, they immediately realized that the previous questions were just formalities, and what Yang Huan really wanted to ask was about financial issues!

This immediately made all three of them feel a little panicked.

And unlike before when Yang Huan always had a smile on his face and gave Fassone enough time to slowly prepare his speech, this time after Yang Huan saw their reactions clearly, he immediately asked a follow-up question.

"What's the matter? Is there a problem?"

"No, no problem!" Fassone quickly shook his head.

Yang Huan nodded and said, "Well, can you tell me about the team's financial situation in the past few years? What is the debt situation? Also, what are the salary expenses of the team's players and employees? It would be best if you could give me a detailed financial report of Inter Milan in the past five years."

Yang Huan's questions came out one after another, like cannonballs one after another, exploding in the hearts of Fassone, Morati, Blanca and others, almost knocking them out.

Everyone involved in European professional football knows that Yang Huan is very smart and also knows a lot about professional football.

But who could have thought that he was so shrewd and knew so much about professional football.

Fassone and Moratti looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

The latter had no choice but to nod, and Fassone took out a thick document from his briefcase.

Yang Huan took it and flipped through it casually. It seemed that he was just skimming through it, but in fact he paid attention to the key points every time.

Who else could know more about the tricks in these so-called financial statements and financial reports than Yang Huan?

Based on the data provided by Fassone, Yang Huan made a preliminary calculation. From the time Moratti took over Inter Milan until now, the company has suffered an annual loss of more than 100 million, with a total loss of more than 1 billion, most of which was paid out of Moratti's own pocket.

Speaking of the best bosses in the world, Moratti is second to none and I'm afraid no one dares to claim to be first.

Both own a football club, both suffer losses every year, and both pay out of their own pockets to make up for the team's losses, but Moratti and Abramovich's approaches are completely different.

The Russian's approach is to borrow, that is, the money he invested in the club is considered as a loan to Chelsea.

In this way, he is not only the owner of Chelsea, but also the creditor of the Blues.

The advantage of doing this is that once Chelsea goes bankrupt or is sold, the money owed to Abramovich must be repaid. The most you can get is a 20% discount, or even a 50% discount, but it must be repaid, and Abramovich has priority.

The downside is that Chelsea's debt will be very high and will continue to rise.

Moratti's approach was to raise funds and invest directly to increase his controlling stake in Inter Milan and dilute the shares of other shareholders. The advantage of this was that a lot of Inter Milan's debts were offset in this way.

But the downside is that Moratti's interests cannot be guaranteed. Once Inter Milan goes bankrupt or is sold, the money he invested will almost be wasted, because Inter Milan must first repay other creditors before giving the rest to Moratti.

Therefore, when Yang Huan saw this financial statement, he really admired the 70-year-old man in front of him.

Regardless of Moratti's abilities or whether some of his practices are correct, it is undeniable that he has deep feelings for Inter Milan and is even willing to devote everything to it.

I believe that at this moment, he is really in a desperate situation and will consider selling the team.

Even when selling the team, he didn't consider the so-called business negotiation skills at all, and just took the initiative to come to the door.

Such a person is a rare flower in the professional football world where capital and materialism are rampant!

According to a report by Fassone, although most of the debts were paid by Moratti, Inter Milan still has a debt of more than 200 million euros.

Seeing this, Yang Huan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

All the fans only see the glory of the top teams, but completely fail to see the cruel truth and facts behind them.

Even though Southampton made a lot of money from selling players this season, Yang Huan still couldn't see any money.

Because Atletico Madrid and Monaco are not only not making any money, but are incurring losses every year. In particular, Atletico Madrid's new stadium project which is halfway through, and Monaco's new stadium which is currently being prepared, both require huge investments.

In Italy, even Juventus, which built a new stadium, could not make any money from start to finish.

In the entire Serie A, the only teams that really make money are Napoli and Fiorentina.

But both teams make money by selling players.

In other words, if we leave aside the profits from transfers, there is no league in the entire Serie A that is not losing money.

Among them, Inter Milan suffered the biggest loss, reaching 81 million euros.

It’s such a scam, isn’t it?

This is simply trying to trap Old Man Mo to death!
