Chapter 219
Edward's curiosity was quickly satisfied. Abramovich was afraid that European football would not know that he was being taken advantage of. Chelsea's official website immediately gave the answer. The transfer fee for the new aid Oscarson was 500 million pounds, with a weekly salary of 4 pounds .

With a contract of this level, Union Berlin can rank slightly behind the first echelon. I really don't know what Chelsea thinks.

Although Edward is eager for talents, the contract will never exceed 1 euros when signing young players. This is the bottom line. If it is a youth team player, the salary will be even less.

There are really a lot of talented players in European football, and there are South Americans if they can't.He wants to sign the future stars that can be signed to form half of the league, and it will be the same without anyone.

A lot of players are really good, but that's no reason to break the salary barrier.

In his previous life, Edward still vividly remembered how Barcelona and Manchester United were mixed because of high-paid players. He would never allow Union Berlin to become like that.

Before Mourinho wanted to sign some popular players, Edward refused. Even if Mendes had already made a match, he still refused decisively.Why?
Union Berlin was not as famous as it is now. Those top stars came to play for big contracts, but how much contract do you have to sign a star of that level?
Campbell went to Arsenal with the highest salary of 10 pounds in the Premier League. If you want him to join Union Berlin, you have to pay at least 15, and there is also a lot of signing fees. If 15 pounds does not consider taxes, it is already 24 euros. This salary is firmly at the top of the current football world, not to mention that in the Union Berlin team, several players including Ronaldinho, who had the highest salary after the team renewed their contract before, only had 7 euros plus some championship clauses, allowing the team Unless it is crazy, the salary increase has never been a player's problem. Is Campbell as strong as Nesta?He can get 3 euros, how much should Nesta get, 24 euros?As for the team's offensive players, at that time Union Berlin signed a big-name star who wanted money, and his salary could enter the future ahead of time. Edward suspected that the salary might be higher than that of Tottenham before his rebirth.

He doesn't hesitate to reward, but the salary must be tight.

If the team wants to develop or even be self-sufficient in the future without his capital injection, it must have a good salary system.The normal safety line for salary expenses is 50.00% to 70.00% of the club's revenue, but Edward always hopes to control it at around 30.00%. If you win the championship, you will be given more salary, plus various rewards should also be controlled at 40.00%. His ideal salary level.

He has done so much marketing all along, just to make Union Berlin more famous. In the future, fame can be turned into cash. Manchester United is famous enough in the world, so after Ferguson left, Manchester United’s marketing revenue has continued for several years first level.

Union Berlin is marketing the team while stabilizing their performance. There is no reason why the income cannot increase. The Bundesliga does have limitations, but Bayern Munich’s income in the previous life was not much. Edward made plans for the future early, and the team has so many stars. The income of Bayern Munich must be more stable than that of Bayern Munich. Even if Bayern is stronger than Union Berlin in the future, there is no way to change it. Some strong teams are just unpopular, and the inherent impression is difficult to break. Income is not much.

Although Union Berlin does not have a glorious history, it is also more convenient to operate. Edward was cautious in building the club's image, just to let the team have a good image.Many fans know that Union Berlin has just started. They like the sense of participation in Union Berlin, like creating a giant together. This feeling will make fans more devoted and loyal.

In the future, Edward also plans to give fans more sense of participation, such as putting a few transfer targets for fans to vote. This kind of operation seems like a joke, but in the early days of the Internet, he would not escape his control through guidance and black-box operations.

Internet trolls and other means are included in the marketing. Edward's marketing investment is about 15.00% to [-]%, which has a lot of room for flexibility.Of course, tens of millions of euros in marketing expenses cannot be wasted. The money will bring greater benefits. Why are there so many marketing expenses? It’s because Edward doesn’t like that kind of stupid promotional articles. He needs more careful marketing and planning , and he thinks that the investment is also very flexible. At that time, the annual marketing expenses will be determined according to the promotion needs.

If possible, he would like to find Mr. Lei, who sells mobile phones, to be the domestic spokesperson for Berlin United. This person is too good at hyping topics. If he is there, he will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

Back to the salary issue, Chelsea actually offered a weekly salary of 4 pounds to a young player who joined the reserve team or the youth team. This operation is simply suffocating. It's not too outrageous, but such a transfer operation will definitely make Chelsea's future worse. Oscarson's salary has already surpassed some of Chelsea's substitutes and even some main players. Edward feels that he is really wise. This operation of sending poison to Abramovich is comparable to Wenger's sale of Sanchez to Manchester United will have a far-reaching impact.

This kind of plan is also well coordinated by the opponent. I did not expect that Chelsea would give such a high salary. Edward felt that as the chairman, Abramovich must have put pressure on their staff to give such a big contract. The speed of the transfer is also fast. Far beyond Edward's expectations, he thought it would take around Christmas to get it done, but he didn't expect to complete the signing before Chelsea in November.

The opponent's cooperation made Edward feel a lot less sense of accomplishment.Look at Florentino, he is calmer than Abramovich. Although he is also paying attention to Aquilani, he has not made a move to buy someone, but sent someone to investigate. As an old fritter in football, he has more experience than Abramovich .

But Edward still feels that he will be fooled. Aquilani is not without talent. Compared with Oscarson, I don’t know where he is. This 19-year-old young midfielder has won the attention of Chelsea and Arsenal 2 years ago. 18 He made his debut for Roma at the age of [-]. In Italy, where players are often late bloomers, he is a new generation of prodigy. He is famous, talented, and his future is uncertain. Florentino is definitely willing to take a gamble.

Under normal circumstances, the chairman of Real Madrid likes to buy famous players, but when he called before, Edward felt that the other party was very envious of Union Berlin's business of buying players and making a lot of money. He felt that famous players are safe, but Real Madrid is not a fool. If you know the players, you must Can grow well, why not buy young people?
Since Real Madrid did not stare at the so-called key inspection target but chose the second choice, Edward felt that they were still very rational, otherwise Pazzini might have entered the sight of Real Madrid.

Pacini and Aquilani are the same age, and they also made their debut in Atlanta this season. With Edward's so-called focus, it should be confusing, but after Real Madrid bought the scout who went to Italy to investigate, they focused on Aquilani instead of Pazzini, it shows that Real Madrid's scouts and senior management are still very rational.

Pazzini is a typical spot-grabbing striker, with comprehensive shooting skills, no obvious advantages in speed, and a gap with top center forwards in terms of physical confrontation. His biggest advantages lie in his sense of smell in front of goal, ingenious shooting ability and ability to grasp opportunities .Although his physique is not outstanding, Pacini has good explosive power and quick thinking ability. In the rapidly changing court, Pacini can complete some unexpected and practical actions.

But in his previous life, he played for two giants, AC Milan and Inter Milan, but he never scored 20 goals in a Serie A season, and even in many seasons his goals were in single digits. As a striker, he can't even be called second-rate. In particular, he is still an opportunist, with poor physicality and confrontation. This style of play is very similar to Hernandez. Hernandez has a high efficiency as a substitute. The scoring statistics of the two are similar, but To average goals every 90 minutes, Pacini's data and Hernandez are at least one level worse, and Hernandez is not a top player.

It's a pity that Edouard failed to sell Pacini to Real Madrid, otherwise he might see Real Madrid's signing of Odegaard in advance, but Aquilani will also be very interesting, Edward is not going to intervene, Florentino Not Abramovich, he is a mature businessman, and cunning is a valuable quality of a mature businessman. If Union Berlin intervenes in the transfer, it will be easy for him to smell the smell. If the main target is not selected and he will compete with him for the second choice, the problem inside is difficult to explain , In case of alarming the snake, it will be in vain.

But pushing hands must be needed, and Edward is going to call Asauer and Ferguson to ask them to help.

Schalke 04 is involved in the competition, Dortmund is likely to step in, and Manchester United has attracted the attention of the whole of Europe. The players they want to buy will always come up to join in the fun. The situation where Ou competes for Aquilani is very similar to that of Odegaard in his previous life. Maybe Florentino signed Aquilani with a big contract in his head, even if he doesn't sign to help Schalke 04 or Manchester United It's not bad to hit the competitors. Signing a not-so-top midfielder with the treatment of a future top star can still disgust many teams.

Thinking of this, Edward is not even going to fire a few scouts who betrayed the team's transfer target, and it would be nice to keep them to send fake news to those teams who are eyeing Union Berlin, but the evidence still needs to be in hand, when the time comes If there is no use value, they will be fired, and even the salaries and sales of the team's information in the past few years will have to be spit out by them. They will never be merciful to the traitor Edward.

After thinking about the next script, Edward immediately called Ferguson.After the other party connected, Edward greeted with a smile: "Sir, how are you doing recently?"

"It's okay, not too good. That Russian guy waving money is annoying. I finally know how those Bundesliga teams feel." Ferguson complained half-truthfully. At this time, he hadn't completely put Chelsea in In his eyes, but the opponent's behavior in the transfer market really made him feel very uncomfortable. The keen Ferguson has already expected that the transfer value of players in the future may increase a lot.

"Yeah, that upstart from Russia is really annoying, so I caused him a little trouble."

Ferguson just thought for a moment and immediately understood. He asked in surprise: "Recently, Chelsea has been publicizing that they have snatched a talented defender from Iceland from you. You mean this? No wonder, this is the trick you gave me. , let me give Kenyon a few fake transfer targets?"

"Hahahaha," Edward laughed wildly. He didn't expect Ferguson to figure it out so quickly. He said badly: "Oscarson is only a third-rate player, but now he has a contract of 4 pounds. Many Chelsea players are tall. When he performs poorly at Chelsea, Chelsea’s dressing room will explode. Numerous agents block the entrance of Chelsea’s office building to try to get a reasonable treatment for their players. I believe you would like to see this scene See."

"You're such an insidious little bastard, it's a good thing we're not competitors."

"I will buy Manchester United soon. Union Berlin and Manchester United will be completely on the same front. By the way, have you prepared a surprise for Kenyon? When he goes to Chelsea with those goals, it will be another wonderful story. .”

"Of course!" Ferguson gritted his teeth and said, "Although that bastard left, I did prepare a lot of carefully selected targets for him. Now, in order to convince Chelsea, Manchester United is still biting Kenyon's contract. He may go to Chelsea to report in the future, and I estimate that Chelsea may have begun to inspect players according to the list given by Kenyon."

"Isn't that great? When I let other clubs pretend to compete for these goals, the Russian upstart will definitely be fooled. He bought a bunch of second-rate players, and it will definitely be difficult to deal with."

"Edward, Edward," Ferguson also laughed heartily, "I'm really glad that I promised you to help you buy Manchester United, otherwise you might be counted on me at any time, just call me today to the end What is it for? It’s not just about watching that Russian’s joke.”

"It's like this." Edward didn't hide it, and said what he meant directly: "Some scouts from Union Berlin are selling information about the team's scouting targets, so I deliberately gave them a lot of fake transfer targets. It has already worked, I can already identify who has the inside and outside, the Aquilani that Real Madrid pays attention to is the transfer target I gave them, that player has a certain talent, but definitely not at the top level, I hope Manchester United can send someone to investigate him and try to get Florentino to sign Aquilani as soon as possible, and I will also let Schalke 04 send scouts to contact Roma by the way."

After listening to it, Ferguson realized that the transfer can be as exciting as the spy war. The strategy of the intelligence station during the American Revolutionary War or World War II may not be so complicated.Fearing that Florentino would not be fooled, Edward even hired extras. This method is really rare. Although there will be some fees for sending scouts, it is just a drop in the bucket. Essien and Petr Cech that Edward sold to Manchester United have become The absolute main force, if he acquires Manchester United in the future, it will bring more benefits to Manchester United.

"Okay, I understand what to do. I want to make Florentino anxious, but I can't really proceed to the signing stage. This is completely helping Roma raise the price."

Indeed, Edward thinks he can ask Roma to collect some money. After all, he has used a lot of resources just to let Real Madrid buy Roma’s young players. Aquilani’s final transfer fee will definitely not be too small. If they are smart, they should Select some useful players in Real Madrid. Real Madrid's youth academy can support the entire La Liga.

Edward considered whether to communicate with Rome, but in the end he gave up. It is better that few people know about this kind of thing. Although he really wants to develop an ally in Italy, he is not sure whether Rome's top management is reliable. After all, Rome is not the only goal.

Although Inter Milan has players with Union Berlin before, Moratti is definitely not a reliable ally.The chairman of Inter Milan is a good man, but his ability is too poor, and he is likely to be delayed at critical moments. Edward is very cautious in choosing his allies.Now Bundesliga Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen are hard-core allies, but Hamburg, which previously agreed to cooperate and buy Van der Vaart at a low price, has an ambiguous attitude.

If Hamburg really supports Edward with all his heart, he doesn't know what to do. The management of Hamburg is not just bad.

Between Schalke 04 and Bremen, Edward chose Schalke 04 to help because of the existence of Aschauer. This legendary manager of Schalke 04 has both means and abilities, and he is trustworthy, but Bremen It is not so reliable, and they cannot be involved in such private things as the relationship is not deep.

Edward wasn't afraid that Florentino would know, but he didn't want to be exposed with this image. Others would regard him as a conspiracy behind the scenes, so how could he continue to hide behind?
This kind of thing of digging holes for opponents is very interesting.

There are so many top clubs in Europe, and there is only one Champions League champion every year. Union Berlin competes with many teams. It is not a problem to cause them some trouble, it is to attack competitors.

The wrong purchase of a player will not have a big impact on the giants, but the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant's nest. Edward believes that if other giants have other problems, this wrong transfer may become the last one that crushes the camel. a straw.

In the future, Manchester United and Schalke 04 may also become competitors, but Union Berlin is strong enough, so what's the problem?

Edward was also open and honest when he called Asauer, and the other party happily agreed to his request. Asauer even took the initiative to ask for a few investigation targets that had been betrayed. The supporting actor who was invited wanted to give himself Add drama.

Anyway, it’s all playing for Edward, so why don’t you let the local tyrant Dortmund join this fun little game? He really wants to see Dortmund sign some second-rate players at a high price. He has heard that Dortmund’s funds seem to be There are some problems. Their capital chain is very tight. As long as some of the accounts are cut off, they are likely to collapse. It would be great to give them a few goals at this time. As a hardcore Schalke 04, Aschau I can't wait for Dortmund to go bankrupt directly.

The two conspirators, one old and one young, discussed on the phone for a long time. Edward took the initiative to help Asauer add a lot of details, such as how to let Dortmund enter the field, and how to pretend to be urgent but failed to sign players in the end. Meticulous preparation, if Asauer wants to complete this, he must find a reliable scout, and when he contacts the club, he has to personally complete the last play.

After Edward helped him complete all the planning, Asauer was completely shocked. There are few such complicated plans in European football, let alone be used to attack competitors. He is very fortunate to have established a good relationship with Edward. Relationship.

Manchester United and Schalke 04 acted very quickly. They have already begun to investigate, and "accidentally" let some teams get wind of it, and the entire European football world is instantly turbulent.

Seeing this, Edward felt that things were getting more and more interesting. He didn't expect that Manchester United could mobilize so many people's interest. When he was about to go to Istanbul with the team for the fifth round of the Champions League, his whole body was shocked because of a News Sparta is out.

Inter Milan even announced that they had reached an agreement with Atlanta, and they got Pazzini in a player exchange.

When he saw the specific news below, Edward could only lament that Moratti is a fool. Atalanta exchanged Pacini plus $600 million for talented full-back Koko.

Pacini and Koko are two pitfalls, but overall Koko is worse. This talented full-back who played in the World Cup last year is a problem. He is very restless outside the field. He has no ball to play when he is less than 30 years old. Yes, and the most important thing is that Inter Milan also got 600 million US dollars.This is even worse than the transaction. Atlanta will lose money, and even add money.But it's also normal. Keke is at the peak of his life at this time. In the money-burning Serie A, this young man is worth close to 2000 million euros. It seems that Inter Milan is losing money.

Edward remembered that Shi Keke seemed to leave the team freely in the end, and did not bring back a penny to the team.

He was surprised that Inter Milan entered the field, and felt that Moratti's striker hobby brought him a blessing.This deal is clearly a loss. If Moratti hadn’t intervened, Inter Milan’s management would never have agreed to it. The price is very intuitive. Pacini, a player who just made his first-team debut, is worth 200 million. Euros are sky-high, 600 million US dollars is 800 million euros, which is about half of the loss compared to the exchange for Inter Milan.

These presidents who like to intervene in the team save Edward a lot of things. If the presidents of every giant are so stupid, Edward feels that if he plays this kind of small game a few more times, the entire European giants will be cheated.
