Regarding Dong Fangzhuo's transfer, any normal person can tell which club's offer is more sincere, Manchester City or Manchester United.
Manchester United actually paid half a million pounds, and the rest was written into the agreement in the form of various rewards and miscellaneous matters. At the same time, Dong Fangzhuo was loaned to Antwerp, Belgium, and exiled for two years in exchange for a British labor certificate. If Dong Fangzhuo's performance in Antwerp is not enough, Manchester United If he is satisfied, then he doesn't have to think about playing in the Premier League at all.
Manchester City is willing to follow Manchester United's quotation and directly ensure that Dong Fanzhuo can immediately obtain a labor certificate and directly join Manchester City Club to play in the Premier League. Moreover, as the club owner, Li Mu personally mentioned Dong Fanzhuo to Sun Jihai and even conveyed his invitation to Dong Fanzhuo through Sun Jihai. This will ensure that his future resources in the club and publicity and promotion will be tilted.
Just how big Li Mu's resources are in the Premier League is obvious to anyone with a discerning eye without him having to show it.
First of all, Li Mu has money and endless money to spend. Manchester City Club will definitely not fall into financial difficulties in the future;
Secondly, Li Mu has publicity resources. For any star who wants to be famous, technology is one aspect and publicity is another. Who doesn’t want to increase their media exposure? As long as they join Makino Technology, they no longer have to worry about these issues;
Finally, Li Mu has sufficient political connections in the UK. Among other things, he has just been awarded the GBE, the best grade in the empire, by the Queen. He has also cooperated with Prince William, which will play a huge role in his future development in the UK. role.
Li Mu felt that he was indeed very sincere. Not only did he not let Binhai Club suffer a dime loss, he also provided Dong Fanzhuo with a better opportunity and further prospects. Although Manchester City is not stronger than Manchester United, it can make Dong Fanzhuo advance ahead of schedule. He entered the Premier League two years ago, and was promised various resources. He has done a good job both publicly and privately. Under such circumstances, Binhai Club still wants to rip off himself, which is really unacceptable. .
Mr. Chen of Bincheng Club did not expect that just because of Dong Fanzhuo's quotation, Makino Technology would directly criticize him and make himself the target of criticism. The sudden impact of public opinion beat him to his knees. A bit caught off guard.
When considering the transfer of Dong Fanzhuo, Mr. Chen only considered his own interests and did not consider Dong Fanzhuo's interests or his wishes. He just felt that Li Mu was not short of money and Li Mu would be willing to spend the extra half a million pounds. , However, he miscalculated Li Mu. Li Mu is not afraid of spending more money, but he is afraid of spending more money in vain.
Why would you sell it to Manchester United for 3.5 million and sell it to me for 4 million? Did Manchester United get a membership card at your club or something? Aren't you just making it clear that you want to trick me? Then if I don't mess with you, wouldn't I be burying my talent in criticizing people
Therefore, under Li Mu's instructions, Mr. Chen quickly became synonymous with profiteers. Li Mu wanted to provide better opportunities for Chinese football players, but the owner of the Chinese Football Club took the opportunity to hinder him and cheat him behind his back. Money, this contrast was particularly sharp, and Mr. Chen was immediately despised by countless people.
Mr. Chen hated Li Mu madly in his heart, but in front of Li Mu, he was in an absolutely weak position. It was a fool's errand to try to reverse this situation.
After thinking about it, he finally made a decision and personally made an overseas phone call to Sun Jihai and said to him: "Jihai, please do me a favor and send a message to Mr. Li, saying that I really have no intention of cheating him. , My quotation was just a false report, as long as he said it, I would definitely give him a lower price than I gave to Manchester United. It is completely a misunderstanding to make it happen like this."
Sun Jihai was also very embarrassed and said: "Mr. Chen, I can help you convey this kind of words, but do you think General Manager Li will believe it? You made it clear before, 4 million pounds, 1 million actually paid, and 3 million written in the contract , not a penny less, and your attitude is very resolute... "
Mr. Chen fell silent for a moment. Sun Jihai's words made sense. He had indeed said too much before. Because he wanted to earn an extra five hundred thousand pounds, he had just said it to death. Now he was trying to make up for it, Li Mu said. It’s weird if you don’t believe in yourself.
After thinking about it, Mr. Chen gritted his teeth and said in an extremely annoyed tone: "If you tell Mr. Li about Ji Hai like this, just say that I was confused for a moment. I'm very sorry. I will withdraw my previous quotation and give it to him again." A new offer, 400,000 pounds, plus 3 million written into the contract, is 100,000 less than Manchester United, what do you think?"
Sun Jihaixin said that if you had known it now, why bother then? If you had not tried to cheat Li Mu out of his money, the cooperation would have been finalized long ago. Dong Fangzhuo could even leave the club first and go home to prepare his luggage for the UK.
However, Mr. Chen's attitude of correcting his mistakes after he acknowledged them made Sun Jihai relieved. From this point of view, he was not just money-oriented, and he took the initiative to lower the price for Makino Technology, even lower than the price offered by Manchester United. , this is indeed somewhat sincere.
So Sun Jihai said to him: "Mr. Chen, let me communicate with Mr. Li's assistant first and tell her your quotation."
Mr. Chen hurriedly thanked you: "Thank you so much, Ji Hai, sorry for bothering you!"
Sun Jihai said: "It's all as it should be. I'll give her a call right now."
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Chen gritted his teeth. You, Li Mu, are really awesome. Asking your subordinates to write an article will ruin my reputation. I can't afford to offend you, let alone the people of the whole country, so now I can only compromise. Cut off your flesh to save yourself.
However, as long as you accept my offer, we will have something to play with in the future. So what if you are awesome? I tell the major media every day that in order to save this hundred thousand pounds, you deliberately used your influence to suppress me, slander me, and force me to compromise!
Others may not believe it, but it doesn't matter. I did sell Dong Fangzhuo to you for a hundred thousand pounds cheaper in the end. With this actual fact here, someone will definitely choose to believe me.
Moreover, many media also hope to make some big news. You, a billionaire, suppress and slander a small club owner in order to save 100,000 pounds. Once such news breaks out, the negative impact it will cause is enough to make you drink!
When Li Ziwei received Sun Jihai's call, she was already resting at home. She felt very tired after following Li Mu in the UK for so long.
After receiving a call from Sun Jihai and hearing that Bincheng Club had taken the initiative to lower the transfer fee, Li Ziwei called Li Mu and reported to him the latest offer from Bincheng Club.
After Li Mu heard the quotation, his first thought was that Mr. Chen didn't seem to understand at all why he was targeting him. Targeting him was not to make him consciously lower his actual quotation, but to make him more honest in doing business. , we don’t want two sets of price standards for the same products, one set for foreigners and one set for Chinese people.
Therefore, what he wants is nothing more than to bring in Dong Fangzhuo based on the price offered by Bincheng Club to Manchester United. It would be cheaper for him by 100,000 pounds, but it would make the problem more complicated for him.
When thinking of this, Li Mu suddenly wanted to understand why Mr. Chen took the initiative to lower Dong Fanzhuo's price to 400,000 pounds and add another 3 million to the contract. He just wanted to complicate the problem. He wanted to use 100,000 pounds. , to confuse his real motives and make people think that he may have done so many things to lower the price.
Li Mu smacked his lips. This Mr. Chen might have ulterior motives. From the very beginning, he wanted to extort half a million pounds, and then he took the initiative to deduct one hundred thousand pounds. The difference was only six hundred thousand pounds. For a person who is only interested in profit. , it is understandable that he gave up the offer of one million pounds under pressure, but taking the initiative to reduce one hundred thousand pounds is absolutely abnormal.
So what was this guy’s motivation for taking the initiative to lose a hundred thousand pounds? Simply showing favor to yourself? Not too possible;
Taking one hundred thousand pounds as a token of sincerity in apologizing? It’s also unlikely;
The biggest possibility is that he wants to use the one hundred thousand pounds to confuse the public. If he agrees, maybe a bucket of dirty water will be dumped on his head. By then, no matter whether he explains it or not, the other party’s purpose will be revealed. Reached.
Li Mu made his decision almost instantly. No matter whether Mr. Chen intended it or not, he couldn't take advantage of it, so he said to Li Ziwei: "Ziwei, tell them that my offer is 500,000 transfer fee." Plus a 3 million bonus contract, I don’t want one more or one less point, and my offer will only be effective before six o’clock this afternoon. After six o’clock, I will withdraw the offer and let them decide for themselves.”
Li Ziwei said: "Then I will send a message back to Sun Jihai right now."
Li Mu would rather not get rid of Dong Fanzhuo for the time being, nor can he set such a precedent for domestic clubs. I buy clubs overseas and select domestic players to train, not for the purpose of buying one person for half a million pounds or one million pounds from China and training them. After a few years, it will be sold for two to three million pounds. What I want to do is to help China Football cultivate a group of potential players with experience in top European leagues. If the first player I plan to introduce from China encounters such a disgusting club, , then I would rather spend a higher price to buy Dong Fangzhuo back from Manchester United next year, and I will definitely not get used to the bad habits of these old dogs.
After several twists and turns, Li Mu's original words were conveyed to Mr. Chen of Bincheng Club. Li Mu's insistence made Mr. Chen particularly depressed. What he didn't expect was that Li Mu didn't even want the discount offered to him and insisted on insisting on 500,000 yuan. If the transfer price is in pounds, wouldn't he have no chance of making a comeback
Now that things have developed like this, should I agree to Li Mu or simply refuse
If he agrees, then Li Mu will buy Dong Fanzhuo at the actual price, and his reputation will be in vain. When everyone looks at himself, they will only think that he is a profiteer who failed to deceive others and finally gave up. His reputation is still bad;
If he doesn't agree, then Li Muchu really gives up Dong Fanzhuo, and his reputation will be even worse. People think that Dong Fanzhuo is the best choice to go to Li Mu, but he prevents Dong Fanzhuo from joining Manchester City for money. Then in the future, as long as Dong Fanzhuo is still there When you play in the Premier League, you have to be scolded all the time.
No matter how you look at the two choices, you will suffer heavy losses.
While Mr. Chen hated Li Mu, he couldn't help but regret in his heart. If he had known this was the case, why would he have to worry about knocking Li Mu off? Li Mu came over with a quote, couldn't he just agree and be done with it? Maybe we can get in touch with Li Mu and have some in-depth cooperation in the future...
Li Mu did not leave Mr. Chen too much time to think. When he realized that Li Mu would not be fooled and he had no better way, he angrily chose to accept Li Mu's conditions. He asked for nothing else but that everyone could Stop scolding him. After all, no matter how they scolded me, I did hand over Dong Fangzhuo at a fair price. This should be able to make up for it to some extent.
In just two or three hours, Mr. Chen realized what it means to steal a chicken but lose the rice...
