The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 124 The Dust Settles
  Of course, this is not the end.

Inter Milan's victory in China is a rare event in a century.

Tens of thousands of Inter Milan fans in the stands sang "We Are the Champions". Not satisfied, they even sang birthday songs to Zanetti, Materazzi and others who were about to pass away.

Balotelli, who turns 19 in four days, quietly rubbed his eyes.

"Mario what's wrong with you?"

"No...it's okay, there's sand in my eyes."

Balotelli forced a smile, and then he said to Leo:

"Boss, I like it here, I like the fans here."

Leo nodded, but didn't say anything else.

Led by captain Zanetti, all Inter Milan players waved to the stage and thanked the fans for their support.

Lazio stepped onto the podium to receive the runner-up medal and left in a hurry.

The next stage is reserved for Mourinho and his team.

The song "We are the Champions" sounded again, and the Bird's Nest once again bloomed with brilliant fireworks after a year!

The stadium was full of ribbons falling, and Zanetti lifted the Super Cup championship trophy amid the cheers of the audience.

Leo just stood behind the captain silently with a smile on his face.

"This feels so good. I want to continue to win championships one after another!"

After the game, Zanetti also accepted interviews with the media as a player representative.

“It’s great to win the first championship of the new season at such a beautiful stadium!

The fans at the scene gave us unexpected support! The fans in China are really great! "

Leo's failure to attend the press conference disappointed many local Chinese media.

With an Italian Super Cup championship trophy in hand, Inter Milan returned to Italy from China.

Leo asked for leave from the head coach after the game. He may return to Milan in one or two days in the evening.

Leo contacted his uncle who previously owned a clothing factory and went to visit his factory.

Generally satisfied, Leo expressed his opinion.

“You mean we can sell clothes online?

This is feasible. It eliminates the need for middlemen to earn price differences. Consumers spend less and we make more money. "

This uncle named Li Jiafu is indeed a businessman who has made such a fortune from scratch, and his business acumen is beyond words.

"But if we build our own brand, is this possible? How can any serious brand open a store on Taobao?"

"Uncle Guofu, you are my cousin, I will not cheat you. This is the latest foreign research report. Online shopping is a trend.

Not to mention big brands, maybe in a few years you can buy it online on flights and cruises! "

Li Jiafu nodded thoughtfully.

"I can't understand your foreign language. Of course I believe you. It's impossible for a star like you to come here just to tease me.

It's just that I still don't understand. Are you saying that after my brand is launched, I can ask you to endorse it?
  I heard that your annual endorsement fee is several million, which is still in euros. If you convert it into soft girl currency, it should be tens of millions.

The performance has not been good recently. Our small garment factory may not have that much turnover in a year now. "

It must be my mother. Why does she keep talking about everything to others? She doesn’t even know whether she is rich or not.

Leo complained in his heart, but still explained:
  “It’s not an endorsement, it’s a co-branding.

How to put it, for example, if you produce a set of clothes with a little bit of my elements in the design, it can be regarded as a co-branded product between my brand and yours.

In this way, I am responsible for bringing the goods, and you are responsible for selling the goods. No matter how much I sell, part of the proceeds will belong to me. Do you understand this? "

"Oh, I understood you when you said this earlier. What is this joint name?
  It’s very interesting. Not only can it be co-branded with celebrities, but it can also be co-branded with other brands or even certain attractions and cities.

It is actually a promotion for both parties, and everyone shares the profits, so no one suffers. "

Leo nodded repeatedly, and his uncle was able to tell the truth.

In fact, if he has the energy, he can create a personal brand by himself without relying on others.

You may earn more money that way, but you will also have more worries at the same time.

By cooperating in the way mentioned now, Leo can save a lot of worry.

Li Jiafu thought for a moment and suddenly said:
  "Leo, you have seen the big world, I have never thought of these ideas before.

How about this? You should have money on hand, right?
  If you invest in starting a company, you have ideas and creativity, and you know the latest trends abroad, you are the most suitable boss.

I will use my factory and management to invest in it.

Is this better? "

Li Jiafu finally figured it out. If he didn't have some relatives, Li Ao could do it with anyone.

This is just an ordinary small clothing factory. If the brand wants to be more competitive, it must rely on Leo's reputation.

Leo:? ? ?
  After talking for a long time, he still created a brand.

Leo thought for a while, and it seemed that this was not impossible.

"Uncle, it's okay if that's the case, but I have to say something first.

First and most importantly, family businesses cannot grow big, and the company must standardize management in the future.

Then there is the product, the quality must be guaranteed, otherwise the brand will not be established.

......"

"You are such a genius! If you are here to do business, how can there be anything for people like us!"    Leo Ao and Li Guofu chatted a lot, but they could only reach a preliminary intention to cooperate. Further, they still need to find professionals. to assist.

“We look forward to our brand becoming bigger and stronger and going global!”

……

Without staying long, Leo boarded the flight back to Milan only one day later than his teammates.

Mourinho now has a headache. Bonucci was almost included in Motta's transfer before, and he was the main force to keep the young central defender.

But Bonucci has his own ideas. He can see that compared to Samuel, Materazzi, and Lucio, he has no advantage in terms of technology or experience.

As long as they are around for a day, it will be difficult for him to get any chance to play in Inter Milan.

For young defensive players, game experience is precisely the most important thing.

So to Mourinho's surprise but seemingly very reasonable, Bonucci made a transfer request.

After some frank communication, Bonucci accepted the club's offer to stay and agreed to continue being loaned out to gain experience.

If there is still no place for him by next season, Inter Milan will let him leave unconditionally.

It happened that at this time, Serie A newly promoted Bari took a fancy to this young man and sent a loan application to the Nerazzurri.

So the young central defender trained by Inter Milan's youth training set off for Bari, the capital of the Apulia region in southeastern Italy.

There he will form a central defensive partnership with a fellow player named Ranocchia.

Can these two young Italian central defenders, who are also not particularly optimistic, rewrite their own destiny in Bari?

This is just a small problem. What makes the Inter Milan coach even more troublesome is that the matter of wanting the club to buy Peter Pan Robben for him is not going well.

Moratti was not willing to pay a high transfer fee for a glass man, so Inter Milan lost in the competition for Robben.

In contrast, Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich's offer is more sincere, and it has initially reached an agreement with Real Madrid.

Mourinho was very dissatisfied with this, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Look at Pandev, he has played for Inter Milan and proven himself in Serie A.

I don't think he's any worse than Robben, at least he's not so easily injured. "

What else can be done? It's better than nothing. Pandev is indeed not bad. Mourinho was convinced by Moratti.

"Well, let's complete the transfer as soon as possible. We don't have much time left to adjust the new lineup."

There are only a few days left before the first round of Serie A on August 8, so Mourinho feels that time is very tight.

Moratti showed a confident smile. He had already started working on the transfer of the Macedonian, and he was basically sure of it...

A few days later, still in the club president's office.

"Um, José, let me tell you good news or bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Mourinho: ...

"Okay, then I'll say it together. Pandev is basically sure to be able to join us without a visa, but he may have to wait until next season."

Mourinho: ? ? ?
  Although Pandev expressed his desire to transfer, Lazio was not satisfied with Inter Milan's offer.

Therefore, Lotito refused to sell the Macedonian and wanted to keep him in the team.

Pandev, who only had one year left on his contract, also firmly rejected Lazio's contract extension and insisted on leaving the team this summer.

Otherwise, he will leave for free when his contract expires in next summer window.

Mourinho was speechless. Are Inter Milan not even willing to pay this amount?

"If there is still talk, try to bring him to Meazza before the start of the season.

The team's forward manpower is very tight now. If Eto'o goes to play in the African Cup of Nations in the winter and starts in half a month after leaving, the problem may be more serious. "

"I understand, I understand, don't worry."

Moratti agreed simply, but he didn't know if he could do it.

As Crespo, Cruz, Adriano and Ibrahimovic left one after another,

Now Inter Milan's first team only has three serious forwards, Milito, Eto'o and Balotelli.

If anyone gets injured, or as the madman said before, the Cameroonians go to the African Cup.

There may indeed be a situation where no one is available.

This seems to be a very rare thing for Inter Milan, which likes to hoard forwards.

Mancini seems to be unable to make a move in this transfer window, and Mourinho has no choice but to give him some opportunities in the future to see if he can save it.

There are worries and joys. Inter Milan left many players that Mourinho did not need this summer. The four new players who came have been trained and run-in during this period and have already initially demonstrated their strength.

Milito, Eto'o and Lucio will undoubtedly become the absolute main players, and Thiago Motta will undoubtedly be an important rotation.

The newcomers can be of great use, and the old man did not disappoint Mourinho.

Under the leadership of Leo, Balotelli and Thornton's training attitude and performance in recent days have been very good.

This also makes the Portuguese very happy.

On August 8, Inter Milan finally reached an agreement with Lazio, and Pandev will join the Nerazzurri for a transfer fee of 22 million euros.

Lotito was still unwilling to let the Macedonian leave for free. Taking into account the good relationship with Inter Milan, he finally agreed to the deal.

With the last transfer of the summer window settled, Inter Milan's lineup for the new season has been determined.

　After much thought, we decided to retain Mourinho's Inter Milan Triple Crown-winning lineup this season. There are basically no changes except that Pandev joined half a season ahead of schedule, Sneijder was replaced by the protagonist, and some fringe players were sent away early.
