Yang Huan did not know that two people in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, were conspiring to do door-to-door sales.
Because he is currently engaged in a negotiation.
Sitting opposite him were Leverkusen's chairman Wolfgang Holzhauser and Leverkusen's sporting director Rudy Voller.
Next to Yang Huan were his assistant Zhang Ning and the football team's Nicolas Cortez, executive chairman of the team.
In the middle of the two sides, Italian agent Mino Raiola, and player Arturo Vidal's agent Felicevic.
This was a very formal transfer negotiation, which took place in the luxury box on the second floor of Wangjiang Pavilion in Southampton.
After being renovated, Wangjiang Pavilion has been completely renovated.
Not only has the interior decoration been completely renovated, with a traditional Chinese flavor, but the external environment has also borrowed the scenery along the Test River, as well as the scenery of the International Sailing Federation headquarters and the yacht marina next door. .
Wangjiang Pavilion is not only a high-end Chinese restaurant, but also a good place to enjoy the scenery.
The luxury box on the second floor where Yang Huan and the others were located at this moment happened to face the Test River.
Long before this negotiation began, Bielsa had already called Arturo Vidal.
Under the persuasion of the Argentine madman, Vidal showed interest and expressed his willingness to join Southampton to play for his former mentor of the Chilean national team, and Southampton also promised to double his salary.
After doubling, Vidal's annual salary is only two million euros.
Good quality and low price are the characteristics of current Bundesliga players.
Currently, the highest transfer fee record in the entire Bundesliga is Bayern Munich's introduction of Gomez last year, which cost 35 million euros.
This is already a sky-high price in the Bundesliga.
This summer, the top transfer bidder in the Bundesliga is Ozil.
Werder Bremen's midfielder was introduced by Real Madrid for 18 million euros because of his brilliant performance in the World Cup.
Compared with other European leagues, especially the English League, where transfer fees can easily reach tens of millions, Bundesliga players are quite affordable in terms of both transfer fees and annual salary requirements.
This also has a lot to do with the fact that Bundesliga teams generally pay more attention to healthy management.
But this does not mean that it will be easy for Southampton to introduce Vidal.
On the contrary, Leverkusen did not want to let go of the Chilean midfielder at all, so they were very aggressive on the price.
A high price of 30 million euros was directly offered.
"This is our bottom line.
If you want to get Vidal, you have to spend 30 million."
Voller, with white hair and black beard, expressed a very determined attitude from the beginning.
Thirty million euros, which is also the termination fee of Vidal's current contract.
In other words, if Southampton wants to get Vidal, it has to pay the release fee.
Southampton has also been fully mentally prepared for the difficulty of negotiations, and has conducted a large amount of intelligence and data collection for this purpose.
Especially Raiola, who has been clinging to Yang Huan's thick thigh recently, has been working very hard. .
"Mr.
Voller, before the negotiations officially begin, we need to inform you that we have reached an agreement with Colo-Colo Club.
We will purchase Vidal from Colo-Colo Club for five million euros.
Thirty percent ownership.”
Nicola Cortez smiled and took over Worrell's words.
"In other words, Vidal is now a player jointly owned by Leverkusen and Southampton."
Holzhauser and Voller were shocked.
How did Southampton know about this?
You know, when Vidal was introduced from Colo-Colo in 2007, Leverkusen only got 70% of the ownership, and the remaining 30% was still in the hands of Colo-Colo. .
According to the agreement reached between Southampton and Colo-Colo, their valuation of Vidal is around 16 million euros.
The price is quite reasonable.
But the psychological price is far from Leverkusen.
Everyone knows that Southampton is the big money maker in this summer's transfer market.
If you don't take the opportunity to kill them, you will be sorry for yourself, and you will be embarrassed to say it.
Unexpectedly, they were so smart and took 30% of Colo-Colo's ownership first.

This undoubtedly put Leverkusen in a very passive situation in negotiations.
Yang Huan still remembers that the reason why Juventus was able to introduce Vidal for 12 million euros in the previous life was largely because Vidal only had one year left on his contract with Leverkusen.
Leverkusen didn't want Vidal to go to Bayern Munich on a free transfer, so they could only reluctantly sell at a low price.
Therefore, the transfer fee negotiated in that round is not worth learning from now.
"Mr.
Holzhauser, please don't doubt our sincerity in bringing in Vidal.
I believe the player is also interested in joining Southampton."
Yang Huan looked confident.
It can be said that when sitting at the negotiation table, when Southampton sold Colo-Colo's 30% ownership, Leverkusen's sale was a foregone conclusion.
The key was how much he sold.
"I don't like to be long-winded, and I don't waste time.
In one sentence, I am willing to buy 70% of the ownership of Vidal in your hands for 13 million.
Please consider it."
Raiola is indeed a very shrewd transfer expert, and his style of taking the initiative is very suitable for Yang Huan, because the thing Yang Huan dislikes the most is to be controlled by others.
Holzhauser and Woller did not expect that the transfer negotiations, which they originally thought would be difficult or even protracted, would develop into what they are now.
Thirteen million euros, which brings Vidal's worth to eighteen million, which is about the same as when Ozil moved to Real Madrid.
This is already within the acceptable range of Leverkusen.
For Southampton, it is also acceptable, because Ozil also had one year left on his contract before moving to Real Madrid.
If Vidal is introduced this time next year, I believe Southampton can take the opportunity to lower the price.
But the problem is that if Southampton wants it now, it will have to continue to compete with Leverkusen.
Holzhauser knew in his heart that Vidal would not be able to sell today.
Looking at Worrell again, the latter also winked secretly.
So, Leverkusen's chairman looked at Yang Huan again, "Then I'll give you a word, fifteen million."
"Deal" Yang Huan made the decision on the spot.
"But I don't want to see any additional clauses in the transfer contract."
Twenty million euros, Southampton will not lose money by bringing in Vidal at this price At the very least, Yang Huan, who knew Vidal's strength, knew that the deal was worth it.
After the transfer price was finalized, some other details were left to Nicolas Cortez.
But there are still many issues that need to be negotiated and negotiated.
Yang Huan was not interested in these things and walked out of the luxury box, leaving Zhang Ning to assist Nicola Cortez to continue the negotiation.
Raiola also came out.
The two went down to the first floor, exited the restaurant, and came to the open-air restaurant by the river.
After finding a seat next to the lamppost and railing and sitting down, Raiola looked at the Chinese restaurant inside with interest.
He has traveled to many places and been to many Chinese restaurants, but this one is undoubtedly the most upscale.
The high-end of Wangjiang Pavilion does not lie in its luxurious decoration.
On the contrary, its decoration is very simple, but every detail is carefully considered.
Taking advantage of the riverside scenery, it gives people a light, elegant, quiet and noble charm.
"I heard that you are planning to open a trial operation and provide it to Southampton season ticket holders for free for seven days."
Raiola sometimes doesn't understand Yang Huan's approach.
He always feels that he has never thought about making money.
But if you think about it carefully, you feel that his actions seem to be very meaningful.
Just like when he acquired Southampton, he only spent a total of 15 million pounds, but he was carrying out extensive construction and building a training base.
The newly increased budget recently reached 50 million pounds.
This summer, the team successively introduced Ibrahimovic.
Players such as Himovic, Neymar, James Rodriguez, and Vidal are included in the recruitment effort.
At first glance, it seems that he is burning money, but the problem is that he has attracted the attention of all England, and even the world.

After the introduction of Ibrahimovic, jersey sponsor Umbro promised to increase the sponsorship fee to 5 million pounds a year, and Southampton is now only willing to sign with Umbro for one year.
I still remember that when Yang Huan was negotiating with Umbro CEO, he directly explained the reason.
"Because we will raise prices next year" This sentence reveals his strong confidence in the team's upgrade and the team's strength.
Yang Huan looked at Raiola.
This fat man was indeed a very capable assistant.
Without him, Vidal's transfer negotiations would not have been so smooth, and Southampton might even have to beg for help.
He is a rare talent.
"There is a saying in my hometown that the rich and the poor come first.
If you think about making money from the beginning, I believe there will be many rich people in this world, and many great companies will cease to exist."
Raiola agrees with this sentence, and it is indeed true.
"To put it another way, if we were a wealthy team, such as Manchester United, with such recruitment efforts, what do you think the media would do?"
After hearing this, Raiola first wanted to say something, which was of course a hot topic, but soon he understood the meaning of Yang Huan's words.
Yes, it is normal for a giant club like Manchester United to introduce a superstar like Ibrahimovic or even Neymar.
The media will also hype it, but after the hype, they will become dull.
The reason is simple.
In Manchester United, even if Ibrahimovic is introduced, the most valuable thing about this team is Manchester United's golden brand, not Ibrahimovic.
Under the glory of Manchester United, the sensation created by Ibrahimovic's transfer is actually greatly reduced.
But Southampton is different.
The Saints are in the English League One, the third tier of England.
Such a league and a team has introduced the world's number one center.
This in itself is something that makes countless people feel incredible and even shocked. .
So what will they do next?
focus on Both supporters and opponents will continue to focus on Southampton and Ibrahimovic.
It’s just that supporters want to see them succeed and prove their foresight, while opponents want to wait until they fail and then add insult to injury.
"In this day and age, you have to create something different from others, and as a football, if you want to attract more fans, you have to give the fans something to be proud of."
"You are in a low-level league and you are a very weak team.
It doesn't matter.
As long as you give the fans something to be proud of, they will remain loyal to you as always."
"Just like a few years ago, Manchester City was in poverty, but in Manchester, there are still a lot of local fans who support Manchester City more than Manchester United.
Why do a group of poor people who cannot afford Manchester United tickets choose to support Manchester City, and then say, we choose Support tradition, unlike Manchester United, which is completely commercial.”
This is the first time Raiola has heard this understanding, because everyone in the past felt that this was a kind of belief.
"Manchester City's tradition gives their fans the capital to be narcissistic and proud, so they look down on Manchester United.
Even if Manchester United's results are better, so what?
Can you make Manchester United and Manchester City compare with the tradition of more than a hundred years ago?"
To this day, Manchester City fans still criticize Manchester United, believing that more than a hundred years ago, Manchester United, which was still a weak team at the time, rose by poaching talents from the already famous and strong team Manchester City.
The tradition of more than a hundred years ago has become their capital to be narcissistic and attack their opponents.
"The same goes for Liverpool and Everton, isn't it the same?"
"A few years ago, Chelsea became rich and became a nouveau riche.
Many people said that they had no tradition, but Chelsea fans are still very narcissistic.
Because they have money, they can smash the stars as they like, so they look down on those who talk about tradition.
People think it’s because of current failures that they use past traditions as an excuse to masturbate.”
"In the past, the logic of business society was how to give your customers benefits, so everyone was crazy about price, cost, and quality.
But now the business logic is how to give your customers narcissistic capital, so...
We must strive for innovation, experience, and participation
