Chapter 399
"Alan, keep an eye on Ivanovic. From what I know about Grant, maybe Grant won't give him too much playing time after Ivanovic goes to Chelsea. This is an opportunity for us!"
"Okay!"
"What about Manchester United and Arsenal? Have they made any moves yet?"
"They haven't made any moves yet." Alan shook his head, "But... I received an offer email before lunch, but I haven't had time to refuse it yet."
There is a basic unspoken rule for Leeds United to sell players. Alan has figured out Li Shiguang's habits over the years.
Generally speaking.
Li Shiguang has emphasized that players who are not for sale, no matter how much the other party offers, Alan will directly refuse.
Unless the other party's offer is more than three times the price Leeds United paid to introduce the player, Alan will report to Li Shiguang and wait for him to make the decision, just like Bayern Munich's offer to Lahm a few days ago.
Li Shiguang knew about this situation, so he was too lazy to ask more questions. However, since he was coming today, Li Shiguang asked curiously, "Whose offer?"
"Liverpool, they are still determined to buy Fernando." Allen responded with a smile.
. "What's the price?"
"A little higher than last time, 50 million euros."
Hearing this price, Li Shiguang shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, tell Moores, don't think about taking Fernando away from Elland Road if it's less than 80 million euros!"
It's not that Li Shiguang asked too much.
When he heard Allen say that Liverpool had offered Torres again, he had already opened the system and selected Torres' personal interface, not to mention the personal attributes that skyrocketed after coming to Leeds United.
Anyway, it is clearly written in the bottom line [Player Evaluation] that Torres' peak period is at least two years away.
Li Shiguang is sure that in two years, according to Torres' current performance, he can operate Torres's value to 80 million euros!
After all, in half a year, the rich people from the Middle East will come, and by then, the value of Premier League players will rise to some extent!
"Okay, I'll reply to their email right away."
Allen nodded and agreed, and was about to operate on the computer, when suddenly, the phone on his desk rang.
Allen, who was busy with his work, did not pick up the phone. He looked at who it was, and turned on the speaker after answering it.
Then, a familiar and carefree voice came from the phone. It was Ron, the Leeds United scout director who was criticized by him just now.
"Alan! I heard that the boss and his wife came to the base today to give red envelopes to us staff members!?"
"Well... that's true... You know what, it's quite a lot, equivalent to half a month's salary for us!"
"Has the boss left? Do I have a chance if I rush to Thorp Arch now?"
Seeing Ron's anxious look, Alan unconsciously smiled. He stood up from his seat and looked at Li Shiguang. Seeing that Li Shiguang was also smiling and nodding at him, he picked up the phone and said, "Why are you in a hurry? The boss is still walking around the base giving out red envelopes! You can come to my office and wait first."
"Wait for me, I'll be there in 10 minutes!!"
"Yeah! By the way, the office door is not locked, just come in! I'm busy and don't have time to open the door for you!"
"Okay!"
····
When it comes to collecting money, Ron is indeed very trustworthy.
If he said he would be there in 10 minutes, he would be there in 10 minutes!
Li Shiguang and Allen didn't have to wait too long.
The sound of leather shoes hitting the floor came from the corridor outside the office.
After a while.
The door of Allen's office was pushed open.
"Our boss is too unkind! He didn't even pay in advance... er..."
Before he saw anyone, Ron's voice came into the office first, but before he finished speaking, he forced himself to stop complaining.
Because after pushing the door open completely, Ron found that the unscrupulous boss he mentioned was sitting on the sofa and looking at him with a smile in his eyes.
And the culprit who made him come to the office to wait for the money was standing behind the desk, holding his belly and laughing until he was about to convulse.
Rubbing his hands awkwardly, Ron looked at Li Shiguang and Shakira: "Uh... Boss, that's not what I meant. I meant that you and the boss lady are so nice! You even came to the club to give us money on New Year's Day!"
"Come here!" Li Shiguang also laughed, "Who told you to stay at home? Anyway, I gave red envelopes to everyone who worked today, including the cleaning staff in our office building!"
SeeLi Shiguang was not really angry, and Ron was relieved. He walked to the sofa and sat down before continuing to say: "Boss, I am also working at home! I am sorting out the scout report of the last quarter. After the summary is completed, I will show it to you in the next two days!"
If Ron hadn't mentioned the scout report, it would have been fine. As soon as he mentioned the scout report, the name Ivanovic once again appeared in Li Shiguang's mind.
Put away the smile on his face.
He took the red envelope that Shakira had just taken out of her bag and was about to hand to Ron.
Li Shiguang criticized in a serious tone: "Ron, speaking of scout reports, let me ask you, have you paid attention to the defender that Chelsea announced to introduce this morning?"
"Defender?" Ron was a little confused.
"Branislav Ivanovic, a Serbian, previously played for Lokomotiv Moscow. This morning, Chelsea announced that they had brought in this young defender from Russia for 14.6 million euros... Ron, the boss has been paying attention to this player for a while. This time, Chelsea intercepted him because your team was too negligent."
Ron said that when he was sorting out the scout report, Allen knew that he was going to be criticized, so he quickly retrieved Ivanovic's information on the computer and continued Li Shiguang's words.
"Uh... Boss, I don't remember this name."
"Who is in charge of Russia and Asia?"
"Evans Dean."
"How does he usually work?"
"He is an old scout in our team. He usually works seriously. This time it may be his negligence..."
Seeing that Ron's words were quite pertinent, he did not deliberately excuse Evans Dean.
Li Shiguang lowered his head and thought for a while. After a few seconds, he made a decision: "Assign him an assistant, a younger one, who is sensitive enough to young and outstanding players. As for Dean, fine him, but give him half less of the red envelope for your scout team this time."
"Okay." Seeing that Li Shiguang did not kill him, Ron was relieved and nodded in agreement.
Li Shiguang was not a person who would not let go. After making the arrangement, he handed the red envelope to Ron and asked casually: "What about the scout report this time? How much have you summarized? Are there any good seedlings?"
Hearing this question, Ron, who was criticized as soon as he entered the door, laughed.
Because just before he left, he really found two good players...
