Football nukes: a pound buys a club

When the final whistle sounded, Zhang Chong and Pochettino shook hands friendlyly.

Pochettino didn't seem in a bad mood: "Congratulations, Zhang, your team played a great game."

Zhang Chong is also more modest in the face of this future famous coach: "It's just luck."

Pochettino smiled: "The young people in your team are good and have great potential."

Zhang Chong's heart moved, this old boy could not be...

Sure enough, on the second day after the game, Dear Director Weller found Zhang Chong.

"Boss, Southampton in the Premier League came to buy our players."

Zhang Chong thought that sure enough, what Pochettino said yesterday was a signal.

"Who is he asking for?" he asked Weller.

Weller took out a piece of paper: "Look at it."

When Zhang Chong saw the name on it, he couldn't help cursing immediately: "This wave of fat people is too ruthless, are they going to go out of business?"

I saw the words on the paper: Mendy, Klaus, Cameron, Andrew Tutt, Mesias.

This is simply a central axis of the team.Fortunately, Kanter was not on board yesterday, otherwise he would have been targeted by this old boy.

I didn't expect to get into such a trouble after playing a game of football.

Zhang Chong said angrily: "Reply to them, these are not for sale!"

Weller said: "Southampton is a Premier League team! This attraction is far greater than the previous teams. And they also have the ability to offer several times or even dozens of times the wages. If we force us to stay, we may not have a chance of winning."

Zhang Chong thought for a while: "Mendy, Klaus and Mesias are the ones I must keep."

Although Cameron and Andrew Tutt are also the backbone of the team, they are still not as important as the above three.

Moreover, their replacements are relatively easy to find.

Zhang Chong also wanted to know how much Southampton was willing to pay for them.

He wouldn't mind selling them if the price was right.

Weller nodded and immediately replied to Southampton.

Soon, news came from Southampton that their director Reid will come to Bury this afternoon.

It's fast!

It appears that Southampton are desperate for this transfer.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Reid came to the office building of the Bury Club.

Zhang Chong and Weller received him together.

After several people greeted each other, Reed said directly: "Chairman Zhang, Director Weller, I believe you also know the purpose of my trip. I want to buy some of your young players."

Zhang Chong nodded: "Mr. Reed, we already know the reason for your visit, but as we said on the phone this morning, most of our players are not for sale."

Reed smiled: "With all due respect, the reason for not selling the items is that they did not reach the desired psychological price. But this time, we came here with full sincerity, and naturally brought a very generous offer."

Zhang Chong said: "Then I would like to hear your club's offer for our players."

Reed spoke slowly: "Nathan Cameron, £200 million."

Weller was breathing heavily. 200 million pounds!He has never experienced such a large transaction in his life.

He even wanted to agree immediately. For a central defender in League One, £200 million is considered a very high offer.

Harry Maguire of Sheffield United this year moved to Hull City for only £250 million.

You know, Maguire can be regarded as the number one central defender in League One at this time.

And Nathan Cameron is far from being the number one central defender.

But Zhang Chong didn't even think about it: "I'm sorry, the price is too low."

Reed continued to raise the price: "230 million pounds."

Zhang Chong shook his head: "I'm sorry."

Reid frowned: "Chairman Zhang, this price is not low."

Zhang Chong still shook his head.

Reed pressed, "What's your target price?"

Zhang Chong said with a smile: "600 million pounds."

Reed spread his hands: "It seems that we can't reach an agreement on this issue."

Zhang Chong smiled: "Every player is my treasure, I can't sell them cheap."

Reid shifted the subject: "What is the psychological value of that chairman for Andrew Tutt?"

Zhang Chong stretched out five fingers: "500 million pounds."

Reed froze for a moment.

This Chairman Zhang seems to be a bit like a lion!

In fact, the reason why Zhang Chong set this price was mainly because of the cost of introducing substitutes.

The replacement in his heart is the future Great British Emperor, Dele Ali!

Today's Dele Ali is in Milton Keynes in League One. He also played in the game where Bury was tied [-]-[-] by Milton Keynes some time ago.

According to the historical process, he will be bought by Tottenham for 2015 million pounds in February 2, and he will officially join Tottenham in June 500, thus embarking on the road of British emperor star!

Although he fell quickly later, in his peak period, there was no problem in selling for 8000 million pounds.

So ideally, if you can sell Tutt for 500 million pounds, then introduce Ali as a replacement, and then cash it out at a high point in the future, this will be a very good deal.

But the problem now is that Southampton will not spend 500 million pounds to buy Tut at all.

Reid spread his hands: "It seems that our target price is not consistent. So I can only leave."

He is a master negotiator and knows how to retreat to advance.

These words are actually equivalent to negotiating the price of clothes. If you can't talk about it, you will use a trick: "If you don't sell it at this price, I will leave!"

Usually, this trick works well.

Zhang Chong said quickly: "Mr. Reed, please wait a moment!"

Reed was overjoyed, the young chairman really lost his composure.From now on, I will take the lead in this negotiation!

But Zhang Chong just said: "Mr. Reed, it's getting late, and it's not convenient to go back to Southampton. Why don't you find a place to stay and leave tomorrow!"

Reed was taken aback, why is it different from what he imagined?

Now it was Reed's turn to be embarrassed, and he successfully retreated into the corner with this trick.

So he could only bite the bullet and say, "I wonder if Chairman Zhang has any recommendations?"

Zhang Chong recommended several hotels to him with a smile, and then prepared to send him out.

During this period, there was no mention of any transfer matters, as if the negotiation broke down, it broke down, and there was no need to say anything more.

Reed walked away step by step.

Before leaving, he seemed to have a lot to say, but he couldn't say it in the end.

Looking at the back of him leaving, Zhang Chong secretly laughed in his heart.

He is not in a hurry to sell Cameron and Tutt at all, so he will not be manipulated by Reid at all.

And Reed's reaction told him that Southampton was in a hurry than Bury.

Therefore, in this negotiation, he has always taken the initiative.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Zhang Chong received a call from Reed: "Chairman Zhang, let's think about each other tonight, and continue talking tomorrow?"

Zhang Chong smiled.
