"Chairman Corleon, it is an honor to see you again! Welcome to Amsterdam!"

"Chairman Van Prag, it's been a long time no see."

At the exit of Amsterdam International Airport, Zhuang Mingge greeted Van Prag who came to pick him up. This guy is now considered his old acquaintance. And after the well-informed little Groz said, this time Florence was able to attend the boss summit, Van Prag was doing a lot of effort here, so he naturally wanted to show more kindness to him.

By the way, Zhuang Mingge also made a joke, saying, "Haha, you have been waiting for you for a long time, I hope I am not the last participant to arrive, right?"

"Haha..." Hearing Zhuang Mingge mentioned this topic, Van Prager chuckled softly, but did not take over the conversation, but changed the topic very naturally. "Chairman Corleone, about the three players you loaned to us, after discussion on the Ajax board of directors, we intend to buy Giuliano Giannikeda and Eugenio Corini in a package of $6 million. As for Simeone Inzag, we want to get his priority loan right."

Van Prag, who was afraid that Zhuang Mingge would refuse his offer, hurriedly added another additional condition: "Of course, we won't let you suffer too much... Let's do this, Fiorentina can loan three players to Ajax every season, and the total playing time of each player will not be less than 1,800 minutes; and in some aspects such as player training and scouting systems, our two clubs can also carry out deeper cooperation..."

Zhuang Mingge thought about it and sold these two players at a price of 6 million US dollars. Florence was still at a loss from the perspective of economic interests. However, the two additional conditions proposed by Van Prager made Zhuang Mingge's heart move. After all, Ajax's ability to train stars is known to the world. The reason why the number of stars produced later dropped sharply was mainly due to the sharp decline in the overall competitiveness of the Dutch league, which caused many players to be unwilling to play football in the Netherlands, and it has no relationship with Ajax itself.

Three places to train in Ajax every year can not only allow some young players in the club to be trained by the joint training of Gulfren and Michels systems, but also help Fiorentina solve the employment problems of some players who cannot play. Cooperation in scouting can be said to be a kind of mutual benefit. Florence, which is still relying on Zhuang Mingge's "smart eyes" to make full use of Ajax's global scouting network to find the players they need, or Ajax, who is short of money, cannot afford it. Florence pays to buy it and then resells it to the Dutch for training. When the player transfers and leaves Ajax, the profits earned by both sides are half...

"Chairman Van Plague, I am very interested in your proposal. We accept these two additional conditions in Fiorentina. As for the details of the cooperation between our two clubs, I want to discuss it specifically after the meeting is over. If an agreement can be reached, you only need to be responsible for persuading Eugenio and Giuliano to agree to join." The implicit meaning is that if Fiorentina and Ajax can reach an agreement on the terms of cooperation, then the transfer between Corini and Giannikeda can basically be said to be a foregone conclusion. After all, before van Plague made this offer to Fiorentina, he also privately asked about the intention of joining these players, and received the promise of "as long as the salary and team status are agreed, he will agree to sign the contract."

Although Van Prague's move is suspected of violating UEFA's "no private contact with players", it is understandable from the other side. After all, if he spends a lot of effort and time to get the club to which the player belongs, then Ajax will not be depressed?

After receiving the "friendly signal" from Zhuang Mingge, Van Prager, who has been busy since serving as the chairman of the Ajax Club, couldn't help but feel excited: it seems that his approach to close relations with Florence has had some effect. The next step is to take advantage of this good momentum and continue to work hard and use a series of actions to make the relationship between the two clubs closer.

...

Taking the special car that Van Prag had already prepared, Zhuang Mingge and his group arrived at the venue of the boss summit - Ajax Headquarters.

After entering the door, Van Prager said that he still needed to do some preparations for the meeting and had to take a step first, so he left his senior assistant to lead Zhuang Mingge and his party and left in a hurry.

By the way, when I came to Amsterdam this time, in addition to Karin, who regarded himself as a senior secretary, Groz and Ferrero, who also rushed in under the name of "seeing the world".

So, Zhuang Mingge and his fours led by the senior assistant and walked in through the main entrance.

"Hi! Antonio, I've been waiting for you here for a long time, come here quickly!" As soon as I walked into the gate of the conference room, a passionate and familiar voice came into Zhuang Mingge's ears.

Zhuang Mingge looked at the source of the sound and couldn't help but feel happy: "It turns out it's Massimo, why did you arrive so early? I remember the beginning of this meeting was 1:00 in the afternoon, right?"

"You are so embarrassed to say that you are the second to last among all the people invited to attend today's meeting." Boss Mo enthusiastically hugged Zhuang Mingge's shoulder and dragged him to a small room next to the conference room. "Now we Italian team bosses are chatting in this room. While the meeting is still a while before the beginning, you come with me and let's get up with everyone first."

"Oh? Why is the meeting going to be held so soon? Isn't there anyone else who didn't come?" Zhuang Mingge, who was dragged away by Boss Mo, asked in confusion.

Boss Mo Da glanced at Zhuang Mingge in anger and added helplessly: "The last one to come here is Mr. Van Prager, the chairman of the Ajax Club, who went to the airport to pick you up."

"Uh, hehe." Zhuang Mingge, who knew that he was in the wrong, had to pass by with a foolish smile.

The number of Serie A bosses in this room is much more than Zhuang Mingge imagined. He originally thought that the only Italian club owners who were invited to attend the meeting were the three northern champions and himself. Unexpectedly, Sampdoria's boss Mantovani and Lao Tanji, who had retired from the position of Parma's chairman, also came.
