Chapter 689: Trading with the Enemy

"Marco, why would Master Huan want to see me?"

In an Audi car heading to the Four Seasons Hotel, Mazzari asked Fassone with concern.

The latter was driving, looking ahead, his eyes bloodshot and looking very tired.

But after hearing Mazzari's question, Fassone smiled and said, "I don't know exactly what it was about, but I have a very strong hunch."

"What premonition?" Mazari asked curiously.

"Inter Milan's chaos over the past few decades is finally coming to an end!"

Mazari was stunned when he heard this, and his first reaction was, is this possible?

But then, when he saw Fasone's expression again, he felt that Fasone seemed like a different person.

But he couldn't tell exactly what had changed.

Mazzari can't do it, but Fassone can.

Because he felt as if he had returned to 2006, when he had just taken over Juventus.

Although at that time, Juventus had just been relegated to Serie B, which was considered a low point by many people, Fassone believed that Juventus at that time was full of hope and opportunities to make great strides.

And now, he sees such an opportunity again in Inter Milan.

After leaving the Four Seasons Hotel last night, he did not go home, but went directly to No. 24, Durini Street, and worked late at night in order to complete the task assigned by Master Huan to develop the Asian market as soon as possible.

This is what he does best!

Audi soon arrived at the gate of the Four Seasons Hotel, and Blanca and Osilio were already waiting in the lobby.

The two got out of the car, handed the car keys to the doorman, walked into the lobby, met with the two people, and took the elevator to the top floor.

Mazzari looked at the other three people in the elevator strangely. They seemed to have not slept well last night.

He really wanted to ask, what was going on that made them fight so desperately?

But he finally held back!

The elevator dinged and reached the top floor.

Four people walked out of the elevator, adjusting their suits and ties as they walked, until they reached the door.

Fassone winked at the other three colleagues, as if asking, are you ready?

The three of them nodded in unison.

So Fassone knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was still the cold and indifferent young Chinese man who always played games on his mobile phone.

“You guys are here!”

"Yes!" Fassone replied.

"Come in, Master Huan has been waiting for you!"

The four of them were stunned. So early?

So the four of them hurried in, only to hear Master Huan's laughter coming from the living room.

It turned out that in addition to Master Huan, there was also a fat man sitting in the living room. It was Mino Raiola, who was well-known in the entire Italian football world!

How did this guy appear here?

Oh, by the way, I’ve heard that he has a close relationship with Young Master Huan!

"You're here, take a seat!" Yang Huan waved at them, "Old Five, order some coffee!"

Long Wu immediately took the order and went over to call the waiter.

"What's wrong? You didn't sleep well last night?" Yang Huan immediately noticed the appearance of Fassone, Blanca and Osilio, who were almost looking at him with a pair of panda eyes.

The three of them immediately looked embarrassed, and Master Huan noticed it.

"Master Huan, the three of us were working overtime at the headquarters last night." Fasone said.

"Oh!" Yang Huan nodded. "Having a job is a good thing, but your health is the capital of the revolution. You have to take care of your rest!"

"We understand, Master Huan!" Blanca replied quickly.

"Yes, thank you Master Huan for your concern!" Osilio also hurried to express his gratitude.

Yang Huan shook his head, "Old Five, go get three rooms!"

Long Wu, who had just finished a phone call and ordered coffee, immediately nodded and turned out again.

“You three should go and rest first. I’ll talk to Walter first, and then we’ll talk in depth later.”

"Ah?" The three of them were obviously stunned.

Didn't you say you were going to have a meeting? Why are you asking us to go to sleep?

"Master Huan, we'll be fine!" Fassone said quickly.

"Yes, Master Huan, I feel quite energetic!"

"Me too, just a cup of coffee!"

Unexpectedly, Yang Huan shook his head and laughed, "I like employees with strong morals, but I don't like employees who risk their lives, because if you keep a life, you can do more things. So, your most important task now is to go to sleep, and the meeting will be held in the afternoon!"

Seeing that the three of them wanted to say something, Yang Huan raised his eyebrows, "Unless you want me to bear the crime of harshly abusing employees!"

The three of them were suddenly at a loss!

“Haha!” Raiola also spoke up, “Marco, I know Master Huan very well. He really cares about you. So, you don’t have to think too much. Go get a good night’s sleep first. Trust me!”

Blanca and Osilio have both dealt with Raiola and know that although this fat man is shrewd and a negotiating opponent that no one wants to deal with, at least his words are trustworthy.

Since Young Master Huan said so, the three of them could only obey his orders.

Watching the three people leave, Yang Huan immediately turned his attention to Mazari.

"Walter, the last time we met, you mentioned that if we didn't recruit new players during the winter break, the team would have no hope of being in the top three in the league. At that time, I asked you to draw up a recruitment plan. How are you preparing for it?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

Mazzari nodded quickly. "I still hold the same opinion as last time. The team's current lineup is seriously unreasonable. There are too many redundant players with duplicate positions and overlapping functions. It can be said that the team is full of holes, so..."

"Tell me about it!" Yang Huan nodded encouragingly.

Mazzarri thought for a moment and said, "Although we have introduced Icardi in the forward line, this striker is not yet able to take charge on his own. More importantly, we have almost no one available in the front court except Palacio."

Yang Huan knew what was going on. "Continue."

"In the midfield, we need at least one offensive core in the frontcourt and one defensive midfielder, but the more serious problem lies in the two flanks. We don't have qualified wingers, and without flanks, how can we play offense?"

Modern football tactics emphasize the overall situation, and there is no clear dividing line between the flanks and the center.

Therefore, over the past period of time, Inter Milan's weak offense has been criticized, and the prescription given by Mazzarri is obviously the same as the conclusion reached by the Southampton analysis team.

On the contrary, Yang Huan was not worried about Mazari.

During his time in Naples, his offensive ability was also quite outstanding, at least Naples' offense was also quite beautiful.

"Keep going!"

"The defense is also very problematic. There are all kinds of problems with the center backs and the side backs!"

Yang Huan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, "It seems that only the goalkeeper is more reliable!"

Raiola chuckled and said: "In the Italian professional football circle, there has long been a saying that the two AC Milan clubs have their own characteristics. AC Milan is popular with free signings, and many of the players they have brought in are famous stars with high quality, but the team is under great financial pressure."

"Inter Milan is stingy. Many of the players they brought in are not even appreciated by mid-level teams. Moreover, when recruiting players, they do not consider the players' technical and tactical characteristics or the team's style at all. They only have one requirement: cheap!"

“Is it that bad?”

Raiola nodded and said, "It's so miserable, because since you chose to get a bargain, who would let you be picky?"

This is indeed the principle in the transfer market, just like buying vegetables in the vegetable market.

Yang Huan thought for a moment and said, "For the left back, I have a candidate here, Alex Sandro, Southampton's left back, has played many Premier League games and performed well, but he is not currently a starter. In addition, young player Luke Shaw is also growing rapidly, so I plan to send him to Inter Milan."

After hearing this, Mazzarri immediately nodded. This is a Brazilian left-back. He is fast and has good footwork. He is much better than Inter Milan's current left-back and is still very young.

"What do you think of Chelsea's Kevin De Bruyne, the central midfielder?"

"De Bruyne?" Mazzarri was a little surprised. "The one who shined in the Bundesliga last season?"

"Yes!" Yang Huan nodded.

"But he is very popular. Dortmund and many other teams want to sign him."

Yang Huan smiled slightly, "If you want, he will report as soon as the transfer starts on January 1st!"

Mazzarri was surprised, but immediately nodded hurriedly, "Yes, choose him. I think as long as he is used properly, he is not inferior to Hamsik at all. Moreover, he is very young and has greater potential!"

At this time, Raiola, who had been silent, also spoke up, "If it's a right-back, although Zanetti can still be used, I suggest Damian from Torino."

"Damian?" Yang Huan had never heard of this name.

No wonder. Serie A has long been ranked fourth in Europe, and Torino is not a strong team. How could Yang Huan be familiar with their players?

But Mazzarri is different. He makes a living in Serie A. "I think Damian is okay, but to convince Torino to let him go, I'm afraid..."

"Ten million euros, I'll take care of it!" Raiola gave the guarantee immediately without waiting for him to finish.

Are you kidding? Young Master Huan came to invest in Inter Milan. How could it be justified if I didn’t work harder?

This time, even if I have to sell everything I have, I have to help Young Master Huan to build Inter Milan. Otherwise, wouldn't that disappoint Young Master Huan?

Besides, Italy is Raiola's base camp. If I mess up and let Pini Zahavi and Holabchin take advantage of the situation, wouldn't I suffer a huge loss?

Therefore, even if Raiola risks his life this time, he must complete the mission!

Yang Huan immediately looked at Mazari, as if asking, do you think it's okay?

Mazzarri never expected that a player's transfer could be negotiated in this way.

Is that it?

That’s 10 million euros, Master Huan!

Won't you give it more thought?

Isn’t it too different from Moratti?

When Father Mo wanted to introduce several million dollars, he had to consider and hesitate for half a month before making the painful decision.

Yang Huan saw Mazzari's expression and understood that he was also very satisfied with Damian, so he smiled and said, "Okay, 10 million euros, Mino, I leave it to you!"

"Okay!" Raiola agreed immediately, and then recommended: "As for the front attacker, I have another one here."

"Who?" Yang Huan asked.

Mazari also looked concerned.

"Paulo Dybala, the Argentine player from Palermo, is 20 years old, very young, but has extraordinary potential. In two years, it will be no problem for him to replace Palacio. He may even be stronger than the latter!"

Mazzari had naturally heard of this player, and immediately looked at Young Master Huan, his eyes filled with eager anticipation.

Dybala is a potential rookie who is highly regarded by countless people in Italian football.

Yang Huan was thinking that as long as young players have enough potential, their value will not depreciate much.

"How much?"

Raiola thought for a moment and said, "It's not easy to convince Palermo to let him go, but I believe that with the current situation in Serie A, 15 million euros will do the trick."

"Are you sure?"

Raiola nodded. "Dybala's 20% stake is in the hands of the famous Argentine agent Mascati. I have a good relationship with him and I believe he will not refuse an offer of 15 million euros."

Yang Huan almost didn't think twice, "Okay, you take responsibility, but remember, you have to get even that 20%!"

"I understand!" Raiola was also a little excited.

If he could bring both Dybala and Damian to Inter Milan, he would not only be able to get transfer commissions, but he might also be able to develop these two potential players under his own command.

Thinking of this, Raiola suddenly had an impulse. Should he try another big one?

"Master Huan, I received some news from Juventus before, but I don't know if you dare to make a deal with them!"

When Mazari heard this, his eyes widened.

Juventus?

That’s Inter Milan’s mortal enemy!

If we trade with our sworn enemy, won’t we be drowned in the saliva of Inter Milan’s fans?
