"Congratulations, Frank. Tottenham have a lot going for them next season."

Negotiations on the transfer fees of Hleb and Arshavin were not easy.In fact, Fernando Roeg did not make a very clear request for Rist, that is, the two should have a combined sum of about 4000 million euros.As for the specific amount, it depends on Riester's ability.

Rist and Arnesen are very knowledgeable people and have been in this industry for many years.Although it is a partner, but in such a negotiation, it is absolutely impossible for both sides to conceal and manipulate things in private.Because the method of playing privately is the lowest level in football.It's not that both of them are noble, they both understand the distinction between public and private.In fact, both of them said it was for profit, for long-term benefit, and they would not do things that only care about immediate interests.

What two people do in private is only a few hundred thousand euros, a million euros, and a maximum of two million euros.But for such a small amount of money, two people took too much risk.Offending Tottenham and Villarreal, if the reputation of two people is exposed, it is not worth it.One of the two is the No. 200 agent in European football, and the other is a well-known club manager at present, so there is no shortage of this money.If a few more zeros are added at the end, it becomes [-] million or [-] million, so you can take risks.

In the end, Rist and Arnesen made an agreement.In reality, Hleb is much stronger than in history. In history, Hleb only became famous in Stuttgart and became famous in Germany. The transfer fee of the stingy Arsenal also exceeded tens of millions of euros.But now he is famous in La Liga and in the Champions League.Arnesen finally used a price of 400 million pounds to win Villarreal's Hleb.

As for Arshavin, the data is too good-looking.Arshavin's statistics in Villarreal over the past few years are simply too gorgeous, and the statistics of this season are even more gorgeous.The double-double data made many clubs in European football look sideways.The magnificence of the data made Arnesen show more sincerity, and finally spent 670 million pounds to win Arshavin.

When negotiating, Rist had to admit that Tottenham had money and courage.Because they will play in the Champions League next season, Tottenham really spare no expense.Tottenham spent more than 3000 million pounds to win these two players.If you add in negotiations with their agents, signing bonuses for players, etc., it is estimated that it will cost more than 500 million pounds.

"It just cost too much money."

Arneson shook his head.Although he had been mentally prepared, the £3000 million still made Arnesen sigh.Tottenham have not spent much money in these years.But not too little.Arnesen will spend more money this summer for the UEFA Champions League next season.

"I think Tottenham's offensive line is top-notch in the entire Premier League, and it is also top-notch in European football."

It's not Rister complimenting Tottenham.The current Tottenham strikers include Berbatov, Robbie Keane, Defoe, Malouda, Janus, Carrick, Mohamed Diarra, plus the newly joined Hleb, Al Chauvin et al.It can be said that Tottenham's midfielder now needs strength and strength, and a bench with a bench.In terms of the thickness of the bench, it is not as good as Tottenham in the Premier League or even Manchester United.

"Rist, I won't hide it from you. I won't be satisfied just getting a place in the Champions League. Tottenham should at least be like Villarreal this season. Appearing in the Champions League should shock European football. .”

Arneson is ambitious.He is not yet 50 years old.He hopes to become the head of the top club in European football.Tottenham's current results are simply not enough to satisfy Arnesen.

"Then I would like to congratulate you in advance for getting your wish."

Rist is very satisfied with this negotiation.Because of this negotiation.Rist didn't just help Arnesen complete a transfer.With this transfer, the relationship with Villarreal has also been tightened.Of course, after these two transfers, Rist received more than 200 million euros in the transfer fee alone.

And it's not over yet.Once the transfer is completed, Rist will also be able to get a share of the broker's commission.After all, this transfer to Rist was a transfer facilitated by running at both ends.Even Hleb's and Arshavin's agents needed to have fun with Rist.Anyway, in this way, Rist can get at least 300 million euros in benefits.

Of course, Rist is not short of this money at present, but it is not a small amount of money. 300 million euros.Many small brokers can't get 300 million euros for several years.English football is the European league with the largest number of agents. Except for the previous few agent predators, the annual income of many ordinary player agents is only a few hundred thousand euros, and it is good to make a living.

Just like the research institute's research on English football, the general agent wants to have at least five first-tier ordinary players in the Premier League if he wants to be a little decent.But many agents in English football cannot own five ordinary players, so they can make ends meet.The main reason is that a few agents have monopolized most of the players, and many agents who are assigned to the lowest level cannot own a few players.

In English football, there are no more than [-] local agents who can earn more than one million pounds a year.If the transfer market is sluggish, then this number will be reduced to about ten.Even fewer than ten are possible.

Therefore, in English football, those who earn more than one million pounds a year are all very good agents in English football.Either they have a sufficient number of players on their hands.Or just have some great players.

"Drip-drip-"

"Francisco, I haven't contacted you for a long time. Why do you think of me?"

The former chairman of Valencia who called Rist was also Francisco Roig who was tricked by Soler just like Rist.Although the contact between the two is not very frequent, after all, the two were on the same front back then.The two were pushed out of Valencia together, so they were considered comrades in the trenches.Rist originally wanted to support him.But a lot was lost.So the friendship between the two has no effect.

"Understood, you wait for me."

After Rist put down the phone, he said to Arneson, "Frank, I'm going to Spain."

"Okay, you are busy with your work."

…………

"Francisco, it seems that you have become younger and younger in the past two years."

"I have nothing to do. I just play every day. I feel like I'm getting fat."

Francisco seemed to be in a good mood after meeting Rist.After leaving Valencia in 01, Francisco Roig played every day and rarely cared about other things.

"Why are you free to find me today?"

In the past, Francisco Roig approached Rist just for fun.But this time he even called Rist back in England, there must be some other reason.

"Do you know the latest news from Valencia?"

"I haven't paid much attention recently. I only know that Valencia's performance has been a mess in recent years."

Speaking of this, Rist gloated.Soler is definitely a prodigal son, it should be said that he is a rich second generation who knows nothing.After Roig completely left Valencia and Benitez left for England.Sorel began to wield power.He first swept out Otti, an old courtier left by his father.

Who is Ottie?That is the pillar of Valencia, so many club executives are willing to support Soler because of Otti.He is one of the main contributors to Valencia's glory around the 21st century.But Soler kicked Otti out immediately, and then took power by himself, and began to issue orders in Valencia.

When Otti exists, relying on Otti's ability can help stabilize the situation in Valencia.When Otti left, many high-level executives who supported Soler because of Otti also left.Then Soler ran rampant in Valencia alone, and finally Valencia played worse and worse.

When Benitez left Valencia in 02, Valencia was still a strong team in European football.It is a strong European team that no rich club wants to meet.Before Otti left Valencia in 03, although Valencia had already begun to be turbulent.But it is still a strong team in La Liga.It is still a strong team in La Liga that can participate in the Champions League.Although with Benitez away Jan Kohler and Vicente.Valencia's performance has dropped significantly, but its strength is still good.

But after Otti left, Valencia really began to turmoil. In the 0304 season, Valencia's performance plummeted.In the end, it ranked No.9 in La Liga, and did not even get a place in the UEFA Cup.Moreover, the performance during the season was too poor, so Soler fired the coach and replaced him with another one.If the grades were not good after another change, he fired the coach again.

In the 0405 season, that is, this season, he appointed Ranieri, who had achieved great results in Valencia.It is a pity that many Italian players brought by Ranieri have performed poorly. Valencia is still ranked No.14 this season. Ranieri has long been fired by Soler.

The grades are getting worse and worse, but Soler doesn't think he is wrong.Speaking of which, Soler also really likes Valencia.Since becoming the chairman of Valencia in 01, he has invested heavily.In the five years to now, although he has been struggling, he has invested hundreds of millions of euros in buying players.When Ranieri first came to Valencia in the summer of 04, Soler spent more than 5000 million euros for him to buy players.

The Soler family is rich, but they can't let him spend it like this.Valencia is struggling to make ends meet every season.Now the debt has exceeded hundreds of millions.In particular, Bancaja Bank is the largest creditor. If this situation in Valencia continues, it is only a matter of time before the debt becomes [-] million euros.

In just four years, in just four years, Valencia has been reduced from the original European team to the current situation.Sorel, the rich second generation, couldn't hold on anymore.

"Now Juan is in a panic. In four years, in just four years, he lost more than [-] million yuan in Valencia. And it continues every moment. The Soler family has experienced Can’t stop losing money like this.”

Francisco Roig laughed at Soler, the prodigal son, in his heart.Being able to prodigal like this is definitely a skill.The Soler family is rich, but they are not super rich with a net worth of billions of euros. The family does not have that much money.We have lost more than [-] million in four years, and if we continue to lose [-] million or [-] million, it is foreseeable.

"What happened?"

Rist believes there must be something wrong with Valencia.Otherwise, Francisco Roig would not have come to look for Rist.

"The chaos in recent years has made Juan lose face. Everyone blames him, and he probably doesn't want to be abused like this. And you also know that the real estate in Spain is in a recession now, and the Soler family doesn't have that much money for him. Splurged. So I am going to sell my shares to Soriano and let Soriano become the new chairman."

"Soriano? Is that the vice-president of Valencia?"

"kindness."

Francisco Roig nodded, and then said with a sarcastic smile: "Soliano, what is he? This person just became the vice chairman of Valencia because of his eloquence. What money does he have?" You can swallow Juan's shares. The market value of that part of the shares exceeds 7000 million euros, and Soriano can't get it out if he sells it."

Rist didn't understand at first.But after listening to Francisco Roig's words, I understood.Soriano is 52 years old, just an ordinary guy.However, this person is eloquent and has strong communication skills.For a rogue like Old Hill, Soriano was law-abiding.When Old Hill and the others began to make money in the real estate market by cheating and swindling, Soriano worked as a real estate agent.

In the late 90s of last century, he established many real estate agency companies.It's a pity that just relying on this intermediary company, his financial strength is limited.Being able to become the vice chairman of Valencia is because he lobbied Soler and showed him that he has a way to sell the land currently owned by Valencia, including the stadium, so as to alleviate the current debt of Valencia.That's why he became the vice chairman of Valencia.

Valencia has a lot of land in its hands, but it is a pity that it is not the golden age of Spanish real estate.At that time, owning such a large amount of land was really the richest of the rich.It is a pity that the real estate market in Spain is very sluggish now, and these lands cannot be sold at all.Sorel originally pinned his hopes on the eloquent Soriano.It's a pity that the entire real estate market is in a downturn, and it cannot be changed by one or two people.So the land in Valencia has never been sold.

"You are..."

"Soriano has no money, but I have money."

Listening to Francisco Roig's words, Rist was shocked.Soriano is just a small rich man, and his net worth can add up to tens of millions of euros, which is an overestimation of his strength.He only has a few million euros, and he has survived tens of millions of euros.With such strength, it is impossible to buy the shares in Soler's hands, because that part of the shares is worth more than 7000 million euros.The reason why Soler believed in Soriano's ability to take his own shares was because he had a lot of contacts and knew many high-level bankers and wealthy people.It shouldn't be a problem to bring in a few rich men and eat their own shares.

But looking at what Francisco Roig meant, he already had some cooperation with Soriano behind the scenes.Soriano used Roeg's money to buy Russell's stake.Although Rist didn't know how Roig operated so that Soler would not notice, Rist believed that Roig had enough methods.

"You said you moved Soriano?"

"He just asked for money. I told him that if I became president of Valencia, I would give him responsibility for all the land owned by the Valencia club. If he can find a buyer to sell, the club will give a lot of money. s return."

Francisco Roeg obviously looked down on Soriano, and he was very disdainful when he said his name.Rist knew that Roeg looked down on Soriano who sold out his teammates for money.But Rist was very surprised, this kid Soriano is really amazing.He didn't have anything in hand, but he was able to get the heirs of the two Valencia families to cooperate with him.This kind of skill is unacceptable.

"Are you going to re-enter Valencia?"

"En. Rist, I need your help. Now Valencia's performance is in a mess and needs to be replaced. Only you can help me."

Rist shook his head, looked at Francisco Roig and said, "If you re-enter Valencia, I shouldn't be the first one to look for."

"Who is that?"

"Jaime Otti."
