Chapter 502 Serie A Reform (1)
During this trip to Rome, Zhuang Mingge got a satisfactory result from Prodi. Therefore, as soon as he returned to Florence, he immediately called Kenyon, who was discussing the signing of the contract at Anderlecht Club in Belgium.
"Hey? Is it the boss?" Kenyon answered the phone and happily reported to Zhuang Mingge his current mission progress. "Maybe we had overestimated the resistance of these small-national league clubs before. The impact of the Boseman Act on them far exceeded our expectations, even Anderlecht, the most famous club in Belgium. A large number of outstanding players left at low prices or even free prices, hurting their vitality. Because they did not get enough income from these transfers, the finances of these clubs were in trouble. Therefore, clubs like Anderlecht are very welcome to us in Fiorentina to come to them for cooperation. I think we should be able to sign a contract with them for a relatively cheap price."
Speaking of this, Kenyon asked Zhuang Mingge a question buried in his heart: "Boss, why do you need to sign a priority refusal agreement with these clubs, buy the players we are optimistic about and then loan them to these teams. When these players grow up, won't we Fiorentina get more benefits from it?"
"Haha, Kenyon, I have considered this matter, but later I gave up this idea. Because if we do this, we will encounter many difficulties." Hearing Kenyon's question, Zhuang Mingge patiently explained on the phone, "If you don't say anything else, the biggest difficulty is that many clubs will not train our former players who have loaned them, but will focus on squeezing their surplus value and overdrawing their potential; or putting these players on the bench and letting them play in garbage time make the number of appearances and time, which are very unfavorable for the players' growth. So, I came up with such a way to let the opponent have the ownership of the players and cultivate them wholeheartedly as 'our own people', while we take the players' priority right to repurchase and take the initiative in the transfer."
"The reason why Inzaji and Matrazi's loan last season was mainly because Ajax and we, Fiorentina, both of them had this demand. Ajax wanted to maintain the overall strength of the team, so they would not play sloppy with us in playing time; while we wanted young players who could not play games in the team to get more training in the game, so we hit it off and completed so many loan transactions." After thinking about it, Zhuang Mingge added some content, "These players we loaned outside this year are also for this reason, otherwise, do you think I would watch a talented player like Andre (Pirlo) fall into the fire pit?"
"So that's how it is." After hearing Zhuang Mingge's explanation, Kenyon, who was puzzled by the boss's move to give up a lot of money so easily and give money to other clubs, suddenly realized, "It seems that I'm not fully considering it."
"Where, Kenyon, you are also doing it for Florence. Thank you for your hard work." Zhuang Mingge, who got a good news from Prodi, comforted Kenyon, and then turned to the topic, saying, "Kenyon, see if there are any outsiders around you. I have some important things to discuss with you."
When Kenion heard Zhuang Mingge say this, he quickly borrowed a very secluded room from Anderlecht Club, and the other party did not feel dissatisfied with Kenion's departure midway. After all, they are still counting on obtaining more support from the Florence general manager to alleviate the club's increasingly serious personnel and financial crisis.
After Kenyon closed the door of the room and confirmed that there were no outsiders around him, Zhuang Mingge told Kenyon all the news that the stadium privatization bill was about to be passed on the phone.
"Boss, are you saying that the Parliament will soon pass this stadium privatization bill?" It took less than half a year from the time the entire bill was introduced to its birth. This efficiency made Kenyon a little unbelievable.
Is this still the Italian that he remembers that he is slow and inefficient in his work? It is almost as good as the Germans who are famous for their efficiency!
"That's right, according to the information disclosed by Prodi yesterday, this bill will be passed as early as next month and will be officially implemented at the end of the year." At the other end of the phone, Zhuang Mingge said in a pretty affirmative tone.
"If this is true, it seems that I will speed up the work progress. Otherwise, there will be no time. Many commercial developments about the stadium must be carried out in advance, otherwise it will not be completed by this time next year." Kenyon, who is working in Belgium, said with a serious expression. As the general manager responsible for the club's market development, Kenyon certainly knows what it means to be owned by the club. "Otherwise, boss, let General Manager Hercule go and test with the Florence Municipal Government to see how much dollars we spend to buy the Frankie Stadium from the municipal government. Only after the ownership of the Frankie Stadium is obtained can we carry out a series of subsequent actions."
"Well, the method you said is good... Let's do it. After this bill officially begins to be implemented in China, I will ask Hercule to talk to the mayor to see how much it will cost to win this stadium, Florence." Zhuang Mingge agreed with Kenyon's plan. After all, no matter what, if you want to modernize the Frankie Stadium or even make a large-scale commercial development, the prerequisite for achieving these is to buy the ownership of the Frankie Stadium from the city government. Otherwise, no matter how detailed the plan is, it will be just a fantasy.
"Well, I understand, boss. During this period, I will formulate a plan and start implementing it after the ownership of the stadium is fully implemented. I believe that the progress of the stadium renovation will not be delayed."
"Then let's do it first. The matter is over. Kenyon, please go and do it first. I won't disturb your work." After that, Zhuang Mingge hung up the phone and began to wait patiently for the arrival of this bill.
