Chapter 418 Meeting with Prodi (2)
If Zhuang Mingge wants to avoid the tragedy of Italian football in his previous life and improve the Serie A environment, the stadium problem must be completely solved!
Otherwise, even if Zhuang Mingge makes Fiorentina strong with the advantage of the time traveler, it will only be a matter of time before the cup is in a terrible league environment.
Don’t think that the team’s brand is big enough to ignore the overall environment of the league. Is Juventus famous? Is Agnelli willing to spend money? Why can’t he attract top stars while waving his checkbook, and he can only use the Tevez, which Manchester City doesn’t want and the free Llorente to make up the numbers? Inter Milan seduced Pastorre for a summer, but in the end the Argentine turned to the Parisian’s arms. Isn’t this all because the overall environment of Serie A is so bad, which makes all Serie A teams lack attractiveness to the stars!
The overall environment of the league is not good, not only can it not attract good players, but it can't even sell people at a good price.
After seeing the phone door, the influence of Serie A team in the transfer market began to decline year by year. When Cavani, who was in the Serie A, transferred to Paris Saint-Germain, transferred to Paris Saint-Germain, the transfer fee was only 46 million euros, while Falcao, which was almost the same as him, could sell for a sky-high price of 60 million euros! The gap between the two of them was a thing worth thinking about.
Originally, Italy enacted a law to stipulate that the stadium was operated and maintained by the municipal government, mainly to reduce the financial burden of various clubs. After all, in that era, this law could allow Italian teams to focus more on football games, and at the same time reduce their expenses, so that these teams have more financial resources to buy excellent players.
However, this good intention of the Italian government has deteriorated over time without people noticing it, not only putting a heavy financial burden on the country, but also putting a layer of shackles on many clubs, hindering their further development.
Times are different, and the corresponding rules and regulations must naturally keep pace with the times. Being blindly self-confidence will only make the Serie A the dust under the wheel of history.
"However, submitting an amendment to the bill is a very troublesome thing. We must take care of all aspects of the relationship, and if there is no sufficient benefit, it may be difficult to get a sufficient number of votes." Prodi said with some embarrassment. After all, he is working in politics now, and some things cannot be based on his own wishful thinking. It must be valuable to convince most people. Who will care about things that are not good!
Zhuang Mingge is very understanding of Prodi's ideas. In this era, there are indeed not many people who will do things that are not good, especially those of them who work in shopping malls and politics.
To give the most direct example, it is like the purpose of Zhuang Mingge's trip, the ownership of the stadium. In the eyes of Prodi, these stadiums are purely useless, just money-burning machines that constantly consume government funds. However, in the eyes of Zhuang Mingge and many club managers, these stadiums are undoubtedly dusty pieces of gold, waiting for them to wipe and shine. It is precisely because of the interests that Zhuang Mingge came to discuss this issue with Prodi.
"Mr. Prime Minister." Seeing that Prodi was still hesitating, Zhuang Mingge decided to add another fire to him. "I think you should be very clear about the experience of former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi?"
"That's certain." Prodi said without hesitation. Although he is a scholar, how can he do anything in politics who doesn't pay attention to his competitors?
"Mr. Berlusconi can be successfully elected Prime Minister for AC Milan's outstanding performance in football. So, Prime Minister, why can't you do this?" Zhuang Mingge said in a temptation, "Think about it, if this amendment bill was proposed by you and finally passed under your promotion, I believe many clubs will 'thank you' for this."
When he said the word "Thank you", Zhuang Mingge deliberately emphasized his tone, as if he was afraid that the other party would not hear it.
"Chairman Corleon, are you saying true?" After hearing the hidden meaning in Zhuang Ming's words, Prodi also seemed quite interested. After all, in Italy, the frequency of changing prime ministers is the same as that of Japan's current prime minister. Maybe one day it will be due to some weird reason. If Prodi can get the support of the families behind these clubs because of this bill, the Italian Prime Minister might have been able to sit for several more years.
"How dare I deceive you, Prime Minister." Zhuang Mingge smiled and continued, "Before I came here, I went on the phone with Mr. Jani Agnelli. He also hoped that the government could relax the constraints on the privatization of the stadium, and the club was responsible for the daily management and maintenance of the stadium... Mr. Massimo Morati, the chairman of Inter Milan, and Mr. Carlisto Tanzi of Parma, also agreed with us."
Prodi's shock was extraordinary. He did not expect that this incident alarmed the Italian godfather. Of course, he knew the great influence of Old Agnelli in Italy. In a sense, if Old Agnelli showed up in public and said something to support him, it would be more effective than making ten thousand wishes in public!
The reason why Old Agnelli was able to support Zhuang Mingge's proposal was because Zhuang Mingge provided him with detailed statistics on the Premier League club's stadium revenue in recent years. The huge profits displayed on the table shocked Old Agnelli. After specifically asking Jilaoudo and Moji, who are currently in charge of Juventus, the old man confirmed that Zhuang Mingge did not fool him with a bunch of fake data, and then expressed his willingness to support him.
Of course, in order to get old Agnelli to agree to support the current Prime Minister Prodi in public, Moji and Gilaudo also made great efforts in the process of persuasion. This is not because the relationship between them and Zhuang Mingge has improved, but because Juventus is pursuing fiscal balance rather than making big money to smash people. If the stadium can be privately owned by the club, then Juventus can obtain more funds in the future, which is extremely beneficial for the team's development.
So, after confirming that Old Agnelli would indeed use his support for himself as an exchange for the passage of the bill to privatize the court, Prodi patted his chest and promised Zhuang Mingge that the amendment would be passed before the end of this season.
Chapter completed!
