Chapter 177
"Hello, Mr. Li."
Li Shiguang had just put the phone to his ear when Calderon's voice, which didn't sound very happy, came out of the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Calderon," Li Shiguang had a faint smile on his face, but his words sounded a little cold, "What's the matter? After communicating with you last time, I thought there was nothing to talk about between us."
"Don't be like this, Mr. Li." Calderon was not angry, but his tone became a little flattering, "There are no eternal enemies in the business world, right?"
Even though Calderon had lowered his posture a little, Li Shiguang's answer still seemed a little weird: "Oh? It seems that Mr. Calderon is here to talk business with me today?"
"Of course!" Calderon replied affirmatively, and then went straight to the point, "Mr. Li, I understand that Leeds United has put Maicon up for sale, and it seems that many clubs have made offers to you. Real Madrid has previously asked Leeds United to buy Maicon. Even if we did not reach an agreement at the time, I believe you should not refuse us to send another offer to Leeds United, right?"
Hearing Calderon's intention.
The expression on Li Shiguang's face became even more interesting. He knew very well that if nothing unexpected happened, his two moves of buying Marcelo and Alves in advance should have worked.
But last time, Calderon dared to threaten him with Maicon. Li Shiguang couldn't justify it.
So he still replied coldly: "Of course, we will listen to the offers of all clubs, but Mr. Calderon, I need to remind you first that you have many competitors, and they are also very rich!"
As an old fox who has been in the business world for many years, Calderon naturally understood the implication of Li Shiguang. Anyway, he had reached a consensus with Capello, so this time Calderon did not hesitate and directly stated his offer: "Mr. Li, I know what you said, but Real Madrid is not afraid of any competitors! I called today with the greatest sincerity. As you said last time, 35 million euros, I want to introduce Maicon!"
Different from the last offer, Calderon met Li Shiguang's 35 million euros requirement, but he also took Sneijder out of the scope of the transaction. After all, so much money has been paid, Real Madrid can only turn around and sell Sneijder for 18 million to make up for the loss.
As soon as Calderon finished speaking, Li Shiguang replied to him without any hesitation: "I'm sorry, 35 million euros is the previous price. The price will rise appropriately during the Christmas period, Mr. Calderon."
This answer made Calderon, who was confident about the offer, stagnate. He took the phone from his ear to his eyes and looked at the phone in front of him in disbelief.
At this moment, Calderon really wanted to buy a plane ticket and rush to England immediately, catch Li Shiguang and beat him up, and then press his head to make him listen to what he just said!
Is this what a human being said! ? Am I buying vegetables! ? Christmas is going to increase the price! ?
After scolding Li Shiguang in his heart, Calderon suppressed his anger and said, "Mr. Li, this joke is not funny. As far as I know, the offer of 35 million euros should be the highest of all the offers given to you at this stage."
"I'm not kidding, Mr. Calderon, it's more expensive to buy goods during holidays, this is the tradition of my hometown." Li Shiguang looked indifferent, "Of course, I didn't force you to buy, you can also choose to make an offer after the Christmas holiday, such as next summer. But at that time you may need to go to other clubs to buy Maicon, after all, he is still in great demand now."
Fuck you! If I could wait until next summer, would I call you today? Calderon almost cursed out loud.
Just as Calderon was about to retort, Li Shiguang's voice came from the phone again.
"Forget it, Mr. Calderon, I won't bother with you. 40 million euros plus Sneijder, I can agree to this deal now."
Feeling that Calderon was on the verge of exploding, Li Shiguang also felt that he had gotten rid of the anger in his heart, so he took the initiative to propose an exclusive offer for Real Madrid.
"This is impossible, Mr. Li, I can accept 40 million euros, but with Sneijder..." Calderon paused, and then continued, "You know, Sneijder is worth it now.10 million euros, the board of directors will definitely not agree to this deal. "
In fact, Calderon himself doesn't care whether Sneijder is included in the deal or not. Anyway, he is no longer in Capello's plan for the second half of the season, and 10 million euros is basically a negligible number for Real Madrid.
But if he easily agrees to it, this obviously blood-loss deal will undoubtedly have a significant impact on his reputation in the board of directors. Thinking of Fiorentino who is still eyeing him, Calderon rejected Li Shiguang's proposal without hesitation.
Seeing that Calderon used the word "board of directors" when rejecting his proposal, Li Shiguang understood it in his heart, so he rolled his eyes and said another plan: "Or this, Mr. Calderon, 40 million euros is the price of Maicon's transfer to Real Madrid. Then I will offer Real Madrid 2 million euros to rent Sneijder until the end of this season, and I will spend 5 million euros to buy him in the summer transfer period next year. During this period, his salary will be borne by Leeds United. I don't think your board of directors will reject this proposal. "
"Hmm... let me think about it." Li Shiguang's words made Calderon fall into deep thought. Li Shiguang on the other end of the phone stopped talking and quietly waited for Calderon's reply.
It must be said that this is indeed a very constructive proposal. If it is a loan... the board of directors should not reject it. Anyway, Sneijder is no longer in Capello's plan!
Maybe this matter can be gambled. As Capello said, creating a top bidder in the winter window will also improve his reputation in Real Madrid!
So after thinking for about half a minute, Calderon seemed to have made a big decision. His eyes revealed a little determination and he replied.
"Mr. Li, I wish us a happy cooperation. At the latest next week, I will send someone to Leeds to sign a contract with Mr. Allen!"
