Chapter 146 Spend money to buy people
1000 million RMB to sign Ji Ke!

Because of the suspension, Ji Ke had long been in harmony with his old club. Li Guo took the opportunity to sign Ji Ke, and the price was very reasonable. The reason for the controversy was because the outside world suspected that Li Guo was nepotism.

But Li Guo did not respond. After all, in Shenhua, Li Guo felt like he was at his own home. Later, Li Guo cleaned up several foreign players. July is the best time to clean up foreign players, and it will not delay the other party’s search for another home.

The money obtained from the sale was also controlled by Li Guo. Li Guo bought Wang Dalei in the transfer market, but when Li Guo wanted to introduce Sun Jihai, he encountered a lot of resistance, and finally failed.

Li Guo's idea of ​​building a team is to spend a small amount of money to do big things, and then he can make full use of his advantages as a traveler.
It was Douglas Costa, who was later to become popular, who was first targeted by Li Guo.Li Guo knows that he joined Shakhtar Donetsk from Gremio in Brazil for 2010 million euros in 600.

"It seems that we have to grab someone quickly." Li Guo thought the price was about 300 million euros, and it would be a bit difficult to go beyond this price, after all, he didn't have much money.

When Li Guo told Chen An his thoughts, Chen An was noncommittal, "Li Guo, do you still remember Franza in the history of Leverkusen?"

"Yes, I understand what you mean too,"

Leverkusen originally planned to introduce Kaka back then, but in the end they felt that Fransa might have greater potential, and finally spent 900 million euros to introduce Fransa. Everyone knows the later story. Kaka, who was abandoned by Leverkusen, became a superstar, and Franza became a big parallel importer.

Chen An knew that the introduction of young players in Brazil was basically a gamble. He didn't know how Li Guo fell in love with Costa, at least he didn't think Costa was anything special.

"Chen An, I can assure you that there will be no problem this time. This Costa must be a treasure."

*****
Porto Alegre, Brazil.

Inside the Gremio club building, Li Guo and Chen An are waiting to meet Gremio's manager Renato Gojo.

"Hello, Monsieur Renato,"

Gojo smiled charmingly, "Hello, Li Guo, I heard that the purpose of your trip is Douglas."

"Yes,"

Gojo, like other South Americans, has a lot of body movements. He began to speak and cooperate with gestures, "You know, Li Guo, Douglas is one of the players with the most potential in our club. If you want to take him away, you must pay a reasonable price."

As soon as Chen An heard it, he knew that the Brazilian was going to blackmail him. He gave Li Guo a wink, but Li Guo remained calm.

"Tell me about your psychological value,"

Gojo said: "At least 1000 million euros, nothing less."

Li Guo tidied up his clothes and stood up, "It seems that we have nothing to talk about."

Seeing that Li Guo was about to leave, Ge Qiao was stunned, this was too unconventional, you asked me to set the price, you should at least bargain.

"Hehe, Mr. Li, that's not how business is discussed. Even if it doesn't work, I should treat you to a meal. You are a distinguished guest from afar."

Seeing that Ge Qiao's tone softened, Li Guo turned around and sat down, "Yes, but how about you offer me a sincere price."

Gojo smiled meaningfully and made a 6.

Li Guo knew that this was a reasonable price. In his previous life, Gremio sold Costa to Shakhtar Donetsk for 600 million euros.

But Li Guo came here today to take advantage, otherwise how could he be worthy of his "advantage", so Li Guo also made a gesture.

Ge Qiao suddenly felt insulted, and shook his head, "If Mr. Li is like that, there is really no need to talk about it."

Li Guo chuckled: "Renato, do you want to do big business, such as a business worth more than 2000 million euros?"

Gojo showed an expression of willingness to hear more about it.

Li Guo said: "You should also know that the Chinese Super League teams are very rich now, and their purchasing power is already the same as that of European giants."

This Gojo has heard about it a long time ago. For the same player, the asking price of the Super League team is at least three times that of the European team.

"So my idea is to give you 300 million euros to buy 50% of Douglas's ownership, so that you can still get 50% of the income from his second transfer after he became popular in the Chinese Super League. That may be tens of millions of euros."

These words moved Gojo, Li Guo offered a condition that he could not refuse, if it was a European team, he would definitely ask for a buyout, it is impossible for you to play a long game, but Li Guo is willing to share the benefits.

Ge Qiao stood up and poured a glass of brandy for Li Guo and Chen An respectively, "Mr. Li, I have to say that you are good at negotiating business, and you convinced me."

Li Guo was happy, "Well, it's a deal."

On the plane back to China, Li Guo was overjoyed. Costa’s speed has an advantage in the Chinese Super League. It is a good deal to bring him to the Chinese Super League at such a cheap price.

When Li Guo returned to China, an earthquake-like news broke out in the Chinese Super League transfer market—Guangzhou Evergrande signed Inter Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic for 7000 million euros.

But Li Guo is not envious of anything, he is still picking up leaks in his own way. Li Guo's next goal is his opponent in the top 10 - Uzbekistan's central defender Izmailov. Li Guo's goal in this deal is to win with zero transfer fee.

In the past, when many Chinese players went to Europe to study abroad, Chinese clubs cooperated with them because they felt very honored. The same is true for Uzbek clubs. It is an honor for this country to play in the Super League, and it is still under Li Guo’s hands.

In the end, Li Guo got Izmailov as he wished, and Li Guo's next goal was Li Weifeng, but now the appetite of the Chinese Super League club is already great, just like Sun Jihai, the introduction of Li Weifeng ended in failure.

In this era, it is difficult to buy players at a reasonable price even with the knowledge of time travelers. Li Guo can only go to Shenhua's youth training and use his coaching assistance system to scan to see if there are any good seedlings.
