Chapter 197
"Mr. Li, there is a question I must clarify with you before we start the formal discussion." Galliani, who was still skeptical about the relationship between Li Shiguang and Raiola, decided to bring the topic back to the main line. "We have had a serious discussion after we got the news that you wanted to introduce Kaka. The voices within the club did not reach a consensus, or the opposition was even louder! And Carlo and I are also opposed to selling Kaka."
Galliani didn't know how determined Li Shiguang was to buy Kaka, but no matter what, creating some difficulties for Li Shiguang first can always gain some advantages in the subsequent quotation negotiations.
But this speech really made Li Shiguang a little confused.
Is this a new negotiation method? Do you want to raise the price in this way?
If your club doesn't want to sell Kaka, why are you and Ancelotti showing up in this cafe tonight? Want to get a cup of coffee from me for free?
"Uh...Mr. Galliani...I don't quite understand what you mean." It was the first time that Li Shiguang encountered Galliani's opening method in a negotiation, so he looked at Galliani with confusion, as if he was looking at two idiots, "Since AC Milan does not want to sell Kaka, then what is the purpose of you and Mr. Ancelotti appearing in this cafe tonight?"
"I just want to see how sincere Leeds United is..."
"Forget it, gentlemen." Li Shiguang interrupted Galliani's reply, then stood up from the chair with a sullen face, turned around and He took the coat on the back of the chair and began to put it on. "In my opinion, AC Milan is the one who is not sincere. You can ask all the clubs in Europe that I, Li Shiguang, have done business with. At any time, as long as I am at the negotiation table, I will always be sincere! And I have to remind you, Mr. Galliani, as the owner of Leeds United, I can appear here in person tonight to communicate with you, who is just the CEO of AC Milan. This is the greatest sincerity!"
"Let's go, Diego!" After putting on his clothes, Li Shiguang called Simeone and walked towards the door without looking back.
Simeone glanced at Raiola, who seemed to have not reacted yet, picked up his coat and hurried after him.
"It's so cold!" After going out, Simeone asked Li Shiguang while putting on his clothes, "Boss, are we leaving like this?"
Li Shiguang shook his head with a smirk on his face.
Of course we won't leave like this!
He is betting!
Betting that Galliani will definitely chase him out to keep him!
The appeal of Serie A and AC Milan's own finances are already on the decline. Even though Kaka is very important to AC Milan's performance now, Galliani will never completely abandon this potential big customer just for this reason. After all, he hasn't even quoted a price yet!
In fact, when Li Shiguang heard Galliani say that he wanted to see his sincerity, he knew why he said that the club did not agree to sell Kaka. To put it bluntly, he wanted to raise the price without any reason!
Li Shiguang is still very clear about Kaka's value.
In 2009, Real Madrid spent 65 million euros to take him away from San Siro, which was the second highest value in the history of world football at that time! But Kaka was at his peak at that time, and he also had many honors such as the Champions League champion and the World Footballer of the Year. As the last World Footballer of the Year and the winner of the Golden Ball Award before the two heroes dominated the world football, it was normal for his value to be high.
But Kaka's current value is far from 65 million euros. In Li Shiguang's estimation, if he wants to take him now, the price of no more than 50 million euros is reasonable!
Galliani's attitude just now clearly shows that he wants to ask for a high price, so Li Shiguang responded so strongly! If not, he will probably be led by him in the subsequent negotiations.
"Sizzle~"
Before Li Shiguang could answer Simeone, the sound of the door opening came from behind them.
Simeone turned around and saw that it was Galliani who was so anxious that he didn't even wear a coat.
Damn! You really got me!
Looking at the calm Li Shiguang beside him as if he was looking at a monster, Simeone unconsciously moved two steps to the side and gave this position to Galliani who was walking over.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, you misunderstood!" Galliani was in his sixties after all, and the cold wind blowing down from the Alps in January made his body tremble a little, but he was a little anxious in his heart, so he tried to make his tone sound calmer."I'm not saying you're not sincere, and we didn't reject your offer for Kaka. Please forgive my mistake in the language I expressed just now."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Li Shiguang put away his smirk, and a slightly angry expression reappeared on his face. He turned his head and looked at Galliani, who was rubbing his arms with both hands.
"OK, I forgive you, Mr. Galliani! The car is coming soon. Are you here to see me and Diego off?"
"Yes, yes, then let's go back..." Galliani was relieved by Li Shiguang's first sentence, but he felt something was wrong with the latter part, so he quickly came up and grabbed Li Shiguang, "Hey, hey, hey! Mr. Li, don't be like this, we haven't even started talking about the main purpose of our meeting today, how can you just leave like this? Take care of me, an old man, it's really a bit cold outside."
Finally, after Li Shiguang had a few more arguments with Galliani, he was still half-pushed and half-reluctantly pulled into the cafe by Galliani with a sullen look.
After several people sat down again.
Li Shiguang didn't give Galliani another chance to speak. He took a sip of coffee and then said his offer for Kaka in a cold tone.
"Mr. Galliani, I don't want to beat around the bush with you. 30 million euros, this is my offer for Kaka!"
