Chapter 239
There was a long silence.
Moratti finally spoke after coming to his senses, and his tone softened: "Mr. Li, you are the most direct oriental person I have ever met. After agreeing to give you my private number, I imagined the scene of our negotiation many times, but I really didn't expect you to say that I was not suitable for the football industry."
"But since you have said it so bluntly, let me tell you about your purchase of Adriano, my true thoughts in my heart. First, your price is a bit low. According to our evaluation, Adriano's current value should be around 40 million euros, and your offer is a bit far from this price."
"Second, from my personal feelings, I really don't want to let Adriano go. This kid treats the club very sincerely, and he has had a hard time in the past few years. Even though his condition has declined now, I still have hope for him and have begun to look for ways to save him!"
The way to save him?
Send him to Brazil?
Li Shiguang felt a little disdainful in his heart. This is the worst move!
Originally, Adriano was just an alcoholic in Italy, and with the help of his teammates and Mancini's tough measures, he was relatively restrained.
But Li Shiguang remembered that he had read a report before. Adriano himself admitted in an interview that after returning to Brazil, a group of bad friends dragged him to the bar every day to party all night, which was one of the main reasons for his rapid degeneration!
No! Moratti's horrible idea must be stopped!
"Mr. Moratti." Li Shiguang thought about it in his mind and asked quickly, "I want to ask, what is your so-called method of saving him?"
Strictly speaking, this kind of thing is actually an internal secret of the club, and it depends on Moratti's mood whether to say it or not. But seeing that Li Shiguang was so persistent in wanting to buy Adriano, Moratti thought about it and decided to use this news to dispel his hope.
"I plan to loan him back to Brazil to recuperate. Maybe returning to his hometown will make him feel better and help him recover."
As soon as Morati finished speaking, Li Shiguang immediately retorted: "Mr. Morati, you must be crazy!"
? ? ?
Morati was stunned by Li Shiguang's words, and a ball of fire burned directly from the bottom of his heart to the top of his forehead.
Boy! I have tolerated you for a long time!
I have been on the phone with you for less than five minutes, but you have scolded me twice, openly and secretly. Do you really think I have no anger?
But just as he was about to start scolding, Li Shiguang spoke again: "Mr. Moratti, if you send Adriano back to Brazil, it will only harm him! As far as I know, the reason why he can still play football now is because of Inter Milan's tolerance and help! But if you send him back to Brazil, when he meets those bad friends in South America, he will be taken to the bar every night. I bet that within half a year, this person will be completely useless!"
Hiss~~~~~~
Moratti's anger that was about to burst out turned into cold air and was sucked into his mouth again.
Li Shiguang is right! Why didn't I think of this before? In Sao Paulo, it has always been easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Adriano is now a rich and successful person. After returning, there is a high probability that he will be dragged by his gangster fellows to the bar to mess around.
No! This idea really needs to be rethought.
Li Shiguang also heard Moratti's breath. He knew that the old man across from him must have taken his words to heart, so he quickly continued, "Mr. Moratti, let me do some calculations with you. Adriano's contract expires next year, right? If you send him back to Brazil and ruin him, he will definitely not be able to be sold, and he won't be able to play if you keep him. Inter Milan will only get nothing and will have bad luck! But if you sell him to Leeds United, although the money may not be as much as you estimated, at least you will avoid future risks! Right?"
"Mr. Li, you are right. Reason, but..."
When Li Shiguang launched this kind of final attack, he always hated his opponent's answer, so he immediately interrupted Moratti's speech and continued: "I know you have feelings for Adriano and hope that he can get better again, otherwise you would not think of sending him back to Brazil to recuperate. But don't you think that this is the place where he can really get better? Look at Deisler before, the German genius who was almost declared scrapped, did he return to the peak after coming to Leeds United? "
Moratti knew about Deisler, it was really amazing.
But this person seemed to have a little highlight performance during his time at Leeds United.Didn't he retire soon after Liverpool?
So he quickly complained: "But he retired immediately after he went to Liverpool!"
"That's Benítez's problem!" Li Shiguang righteously retorted: "He played well in Leeds United, why did he retire as soon as he went to Liverpool? I think Benítez should reflect on this!"
"Okay, Mr. Moratti, don't be distracted. This is not a topic that needs to be discussed now. Let's get back to the point! I'll increase the price by 3 million euros, 36 million euros, so that I can take Adriano away, OK?"
What do you mean it's not a topic that needs to be discussed now?
What do you mean I shouldn't be distracted?
Didn't you take the initiative to mention Deisler?
Are you here to teach me a lesson?
Moratti, who was just thinking about Deisler, was a little confused by Li Shiguang's jumping thoughts, but he still heard the actual offer of 36 million euros clearly. This price is actually very close to his psychological price of 40 million euros if he must sell Adriano.
Moratti shook his head first, threw Deisler's figure out of his mind, and then returned to the image of the calm oil tycoon, replying: "36 million euros? I think it's still a bit low. After all, we need to find a replacement for Adriano after selling him!"
Replacement?
Moratti's words suddenly gave Li Shiguang an idea. If Adriano can really be taken down, Leeds United will indeed have too many forwards. It is better to take this opportunity to streamline it.
So he quickly asked: "Mr. Moratti, Adriano's replacement, I think maybe Leeds United can provide you with a few options..."
