"Hehe, I once thought about kenyon, but later I gave up the idea because we would encounter many difficulties if we did this." When I heard kenyon’s question, Zhuang Ge patiently explained in his words, "Don’t say that the biggest difficulty is that many clubs will not train our past players well, but concentrate on extracting their surplus value and overdrawing their potential; Or put these players on the bench and let them play in the garbage. It is very unfavorable for the growth of players to mix the number of appearances and the time. I came up with such a way to let the other side have all the players and train them as’ one of their own’, while we take the priority to buy players and control the transfer initiative. "

"Little Inzaghi and Materazzi can go on loan this season mainly because Ajax and Florence have this need, Ajax wants to maintain the overall strength of the team, so they won’t be careless with us when they play; And we want young players who don’t play in the team to get more competition training, so we hit it off and completed so many loan transactions. "After thinking about it, Zhuang Ge added something." This year, we rented these players out for the same reason, otherwise you and I will watch a talented player like Andrea (Pirlo) fall into the fire pit? "
"So that’s it." After listening to Zhuang Ge’s explanation, the boss was still confused about giving up a lot of income so easily and sending money to other clubs. kenyon suddenly realized, "It seems that I didn’t consider enough."
"Where is kenyon? You’re in Florence. It’s very hard for you." I got a good news from Prodi and comforted kenyon. Then I got down to business and said, "kenyon, see if there are any outsiders around you. I have some urgent things to discuss with you."
When kenyon heard Zhuang Ge say this, he quickly borrowed a rather secluded room from Ande Laichter Club, but the other party didn’t have any dissatisfaction with kenyon’s departure. After all, they are still counting on getting more support from the Florence general manager to alleviate the club’s increasingly serious personnel and financial crisis.
After kenyon closed the door and made sure there were no outsiders around, Zhuang Ge told kenyon the news that the privatization bill of the stadium was about to be passed.
"Boss, do you mean that Parliament will pass the privatization bill of the stadium soon?" It took less than half a year for the whole bill to be born, and this efficiency made kenyon somewhat unbelievable
Is this still the Italy he remembers as being slow and inefficient? It’s almost as good as the Germans who are famous for their efficiency!
"Yes, according to the information revealed by Prodi yesterday, this bill will be passed and formally implemented as early as next month and at the latest at the end of the year," Zhuang Ge said in a quite positive tone at the other end of the sentence.
"If that’s the case, it seems that I have to speed up the work. Otherwise, the business development of the stadium will not be more than before, or it will not be completed by this time next year." kenyon, who is working in Belgium, said with a serious expression that kenyon, the general manager in charge of the club’s marketing development, certainly knows what it means that the stadium can be owned by the club. "How about this, boss, let General Manager Hulkerry go to the Florence municipal government to find out how much money we will spend to buy the Frankie Stadium from the municipal government, and then we can carry out the next move."
"Well, you say this is a good idea … well, after this bill is officially implemented in China, I will ask Hercule to talk to Mr. Mayor and see how much we have to pay for taking this stadium in Florence." Zhuang Ge agreed with kenyon’s plan. After all, it is very commercial to modernize Frankie Stadium in any case. The prerequisite for realizing these is to buy all Frankie Stadium from the municipal government, otherwise no matter how detailed the plan is, it is just thinking.
"Well, I don’t understand the boss. During this period, I will work out a plan and implement it after the stadium is completely implemented. I believe it should not delay the progress of the stadium renovation."
"Let’s do it first, then. When the business is over, kenyon, you go to work first and I won’t disturb your work." Then Zhuang Ge hung up and waited patiently for the bill to come
Prodi moved quite quickly. Only one week after his meeting with Zhuang Ge, he officially passed the bill that shocked the whole Italian football world through the parliament and said that the bill would be officially implemented on January 1 this year!
Chapter 53 Serie A reform (2)
Prodi’s proposal to allow stadiums to be privately owned by clubs immediately caused an uproar in Italy.
In Italy, almost all people who pay attention to or engage in the football industry are full of praise for Prodi’s "move", which is the most English decision made by Prodi since he made the Italian Prime Minister. At the same time, Italian club owners have also expressed their support for this bill.
In these years, Zhuangge has been interested in guiding Serie A teams. These bosses have long coveted the Premier League team to have a stadium of their own, because if a club has such a stadium, it will be of great benefit to the club’s business development, equipment maintenance and update.
When the stadium is not owned by the club, even if the team wants to make a commercial development or expand the stadium, there are many restrictions. Updating hardware facilities and venue maintenance is even more important. Who cares about something that doesn’t belong to them, old or new? Just be able to deal with it!
Therefore, Prodi’s introduction of the stadium privatization bill this time can be said to be right for the owners of these teams. Although the bill will not be officially implemented until January 1, many clubs have contacted the local municipal government to inquire about the selling price of the stadium after learning the news.
Florence is no exception. On the second day after the bill was announced, Poirot was sent by Zhuang Ge to negotiate with the Florence municipal government on the sale of Frankie Stadium.
For this team, which has won several championships in recent years, the honorary tie has broken many records. The municipal government does not deliberately make things difficult for each other. On the one hand, because the Corleone family background behind Florence is strong enough, no one wants to make fun of their political life; On the other hand, Viola, who has won the heavyweight championship in succession, has become a city hero in the eyes of Florence citizens who love football. It is another business card for the city. If they always have nothing to do with Viola, it is that these politicians are brain-dead
Therefore, for the Florence club, the city government did not ignore this question about asking the price of Frankie Stadium, but it was quite active. The mayor personally came forward to negotiate with Poirot on the price for the first time.
However, as soon as the mayor came, the lion gave Frankie Stadium a price of 100 million dollars, which really scared Poirot who came to ask for the price.
"Mr. Mayor, don’t you think it’s a bit outrageous to ask our club to buy this stadium for $100 million?" Although I knew that the first asking price of the other party would be quite high, the price of 100 million dollars was still far beyond Poirot’s expectation. "I personally think this price is completely accepted by our Florence club."
"I don’t think the asking price of $100 million is too much. You should know that Frankie Stadium is the best stadium in Florence. Seven years ago, the World Cup was specially renovated, and its condition in all aspects can be regarded as first-class in Europe." Although the mayor of Florence is a politician by profession, he is also a good businessman in some ways. These people never relent and look extremely sophisticated. "If you rebuild a new stadium, I’m afraid you will spend more than $100 million?"
Mr. Mayor, with all due respect, I agree with you. Poirot deliberately avoided the other side’s analysis of the aspects needed to buy existing courses and build new courses, pointing to a major loophole in the other side’s speech just now. "Frankie Stadium has indeed undergone a renovation, but this does not mean that the hardware level of this stadium can be called the first-class in Europe today after seven years. Mr. Mayor, I strongly suggest that you visit an Englishman’s courses and then talk about the grade of Frankie Stadium."
"Er, Mr. Hercule, it seems that our municipal government doesn’t know enough about the current situation of Frankie Stadium. I believe that this negotiation should stop here first." Realizing that his side was not fully prepared, the mayor resolutely chose to suspend the negotiation. "What do you think of restarting the negotiation after we do some research here?"
"Well, I’ll wait for your good news." Poirot is also too good to let the other side wake up and realize what kind of chips they have in their hands, so as not to make him explain to the other side in waves.
Zhuang Ge didn’t worry about running the Florence club after learning from Poirot about the progress of the first round of confrontation with the municipal government. He naturally experienced many negotiations and knew the truth of paying back the money on the spot on wild speculations.
What’s more, now the two sides are tentative contacts and negotiations, and it’s just a long time before the deadline for Zhuang Ge and kenyon to formulate the stadium development plan. Now Poirot sometimes wrangles with these people in the municipal government on the price.
Just as Poirot and the Florence municipal government fought fiercely over the price of the stadium, the first company announced that it had successfully bought the stadium, and all the clubs were born. Old Bozo, who was good at running, persuaded the Udi municipal government to take all the Friuli stadium for ten million dollars!
According to the agreement signed between the Houdusse Club and the municipal government, this huge sum of 10 million US dollars will be paid off in the year, and Houdusse does not need to pay extra interest, which is considered as a preferential treatment for the club by the Udi municipal government.
The success of Houdusse Club’s acquisition has greatly stimulated other negotiating clubs, and they have stepped up their offensive to get all the stadium from the government as soon as possible.
In this way, with the smooth implementation of this bill, Prodi’s national support rate in Italy has increased by a full ten percentage points! Completely secure the position of Italian Prime Minister.
In response to the government’s introduction of this stadium privatization bill, the Italian Football Association decided to call an emergency meeting to prepare for a discussion on the impact on Italian football after the formal implementation of the stadium privatization bill on July 24, a week before its formal implementation.
The organizer of the meeting, President Perot of the Football Association, specially invited several representatives of Italian professional leagues to attend the meeting to discuss the development of Italian football in detail.
The invited clubs are Florence’s first Serie A Seven Sisters, and they represent the top teams in Italy, which have considerable influence in Italian football. Of course, the Italian Football Association does not dare to regard these big clubs unless these football association officials want to apply for posts.
In order to show their concern for the small club, the Football Association also chose representatives of small and medium-sized clubs in Vicenza to attend this meeting. However, everyone knows that Vicenza is just a soy sauce player and there is no strong team behind them to support it. At this level, the opinions of this small club will not be taken seriously.
Chapter 54 Serie A reform (3)
However, before the Football Association called a meeting, Zhuang Ge felt that there were some necessary things to be ventilated with others in advance. When the time came, everyone was prepared to fight at the Football Association meeting and the Italian Football Association broke them one by one.
So Zhuang Ge found Piero Della Francesca Tanzi, the executive chairman of the retired old Tanzi professional league, to transport the whole league.
"Antonio, you finally remembered to come to see me." As soon as Zhuang Ge walked into Piero Della Francesca’s office at the Palma Club, she heard the banter of the female Tanzi. "I also told you that you were happy in the gentle town made by Rebecca and Karin."
"Ah, haha, how come? Piero Della Francesca, don’t you think I came to visit you specially?" For Piero Della Francesca teasing Zhuang Ge, he hurriedly fooled the past with a giggle. He didn’t want to talk too much with the other party on this issue. "By the way, Piero Della Francesca, I have a very important thing to discuss with you this time."
