Aldridge was close to the end of get off work when he received the call from Adam. Tomorrow the team will start training. The coaching staff is prepared one step in advance. This is a practice formed in the past few years.
He smiled while holding the phone: "If I say that I don't have time to leave the appointment?"
"Uh, here, then I will forward your reply to Real Madrid."
"No need, just kidding."
Real Madrid’s presidential election, the Sens era only won a league title, the best record in the Champions League is the runner-up, no matter how he builds, Real Madrid club members have exhausted his patience, Florentino defeated Sens with an absolute advantage, Ascended the throne of Real Madrid's chairman.
Immediately after taking office, Florentino honored his campaign promises and paid the bargain price of Barcelona directly to bring Figo to the Bernabeu. The famous rebellion in the history of the Barcelona club was born.
Florentino started to form the Galactic Warship. After signing Figo, he immediately came to London to invite Aldridge for dinner. Needless to know, he was definitely looking for the next member for the Galactic Warship.
Aldridge’s new home is in an upscale villa community on the north side of the Thames. He is very satisfied with the place selected by Ewen. At least it is not like a manor in the suburbs. It seems to be isolated from the world. He lives in the community. Friends may not necessarily be acquainted, but in daily life, you can see familiar faces and say hello to each other. This is a normal life.
When it was time for get off work, Aldridge made a call to Ewen. He didn't elaborate. He just told her to eat out, and then he drove home to pick her up.
The new home is being renovated. She stays at home and works as a supervisor. If there is any dissatisfaction, she will come to the decoration team on the spot.
By the time Aldridge drove home, Yiwen had changed into a refreshing dress.
"Is there anything good today?"
Yiwen asked curiously after sitting in the car.
Aldridge doesn't really advocate dining out, celebrities. Sometimes when you go out, you will encounter trivial things. At home, you are quiet.
Driving on the road to West London, Aldridge briefly told Ewen about the dinner invitation.
"What do you think?"
Yiwen's eyes rolled, and this meal had a lot of promise.
"Just a meal."
"Just socializing?"
"Well, if the other party does not represent a club, I might refuse."
"Huh, yeah, even though Millwall is called a giant by the outside world, the old masters have not done enough homework with Millwall."
Aldridge raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Gordon Ramsay Restaurant is a Michelin-rated 3-star restaurant. It is a place that is worth all tourists or rich people to "fly" to enjoy dinner. There is no history, but just one thing: the food is delicious.
The restaurant is located in West London, to be precise, in the Chelsea district!
Aldrich’s friends, social circles, at least within the scope of England, whether it is playing cards or drinking or partying, basically no one will invite him to West London, even if there is a magnificent, really high-end atmosphere.
Obviously, many people in West London do not welcome Aldridge, they all have the background of Chelsea fans.
Richness and quality are two different things.
Sometimes it is because people have money, so they do things with impunity.
Aldrich came out after dining at a restaurant in West London with Melanie three years ago, and found that his car was messed up with graffiti on his stool...
Since then, Aldridge has rarely visited West London. He has no resentment in his heart. This is a normal thing.
If the Chelsea coach’s car dares to park in the Millwall area for one night, it is estimated that either the car will disappear or the car will become a pile of scrap the next day.
Football is a popular sport in this country. The most common entertainment, the public, is often not elegant, and there are so many fanatic fans who like to provoke trouble.
Therefore, the Real Madrid people wanted to discuss business with Aldridge, but they were on the site of Millwall's enemies. What can be said? It can only be said that the preparation for Real Madrid has not been done well, but it cannot be blamed for the lack of sincerity.
The chairman has come in person. What more sincerity can there be? Red carpet? That's not sincerity, it's brain damage
It wasn't until dark that Aldridge drove too late. After all, East-West London was a bit far away, and he rushed to traffic during get off work hours.
Real Madrid does not have the money to pack up the entire restaurant. After all, the consumption here is very high. You can't just eat and drink with public funds just after you come on stage?
They came with 7 people, Florentino is the protagonist, the others, his assistants, club officials, are also supporting roles.
Together with Aldridge and Ewen, a total of nine people occupy two tables in the corner of the restaurant, and Aldridge has four tables.
When they met, Aldridge shook hands with Florentino. The two smiled and met for the first time. There was no hindrance to talking in Spanish, and they soon became acquainted with conversations on non-football topics.
There is a difference between people and people, and the same is true for the chairman and the chairman.
Florentino has his own business empire. He is Spain's second-largest construction giant, and he can work hard to make this. His communication skills must be good. As the chairman of Real Madrid, his vision is definitely different.
Aldrich admires and even admires this kind of person, not to mention that the Hall family is now rich in oil, but its real ability cannot be measured by wealth.
Florentino has increased Real Madrid's business value by 20 times in the past ten years, and its personal group's assets have also increased by more than 5 times. How much wisdom can ordinary people imagine?
Needless to say, Florentino created the brand of Real Madrid in the new era, and at the same time, through the Real Madrid platform, he rapidly expanded his own business empire.
What is behind Real Madrid? Supported by the Spanish government, supported by the consortium, and building the brand of Real Madrid, and through the Real Madrid platform to reach various business circles around the world, behind this scene, how can Florentino's own business empire not benefit?
Aldrich has no villain's opinion that the other party is borrowing Real Madrid to use power for personal gain. On the contrary, this is just a win-win-like business model that benefits both. Florentino is not a public servant. The more utilitarian times, the more he wants to be good A public servant who is safe and self-serving may often fail to do great things.
Selfish desires make people burst out with endless impetus.
Dinner is not rich, and you can enjoy the food until the end. Everyone is not a villager who has never seen the world. The sea and the sea are like a leopard. If you leave a mess of food on the table, you can’t eat it. Despised by people around.
Aldridge had dinner with Florentino, and the other guests around him knew what they were witnessing when they saw it. The paparazzi naturally heard the news and took photos from an angle outside the restaurant.
Throughout the dinner, Aldridge and Florentino had a great time, but no word was about football.
It wasn't until the end of dinner that Florentino made sense.
"Aldrich, we heard a lot of news about Henry. He hasn’t renewed his contract with Millwall. I don’t know what happened between you and him. Out of respect, I won’t ask. But Real Madrid is right. Henry is interested. I hope he can put on Real Madrid's shirt next season. If he becomes your trouble at Millwall, it will trouble you. I think we can cooperate to solve your troubles and give Mill Wall brings great rewards."
Florentino spoke with Aldridge in a dull voice. Probably, it was like talking about business. The business they talked about was player trading.
Real Madrid has bought Figo, but Florentino found that there may be a chance to win Henry, why not?
Such a super star who became very popular last season also has intercontinental and even world influence, which may be more sensational than the effect brought by Figo.
After all, the great effect of digging Figo is only for Real Madrid.
Let Real Madrid fans happy, relieve gas and hate!
And Henry is the real European Champions League Golden Boot, European Golden Boot, has won many trophies in Millwall for two years, and there are three heavyweights! Coupled with the honor of the national team, if this deal can be reached, what Real Madrid fans think about Florentino is not important. The Galaxy Battleship has at least a prototype, and the brand effect is what Florentino is most concerned about. .
Aldrich likes Florentino, to be precise, likes the other's style of doing things.
Perhaps there are some invisible methods in the process of digging Figo, but that is also the situation.
When Florentino did not come to power and was not the chairman, he did not have a reasonable and reasonable status to negotiate with the official Barcelona, and because of the enemy of the two clubs, the positive conversation must be the ending of the collapse, so use some private means, It's understandable to be in a place.
When Florentino officially takes office, if he is determined to bring in a certain player, then it must be with enough sincerity to launch the attack personally, and the offense behind it is very rare.
Millwall definitely has to deal with many European clubs and do player trading. In the past, now, in the past, this is inevitable.
However, do you like the other party's fair and honest negotiation?
Or do you like conspirators who use dirty methods behind their backs?
Obviously, the former.
Aldridge wiped his mouth with a napkin, and was about to refuse Florentino, when the other party pushed a card in front of him with several names written on it.
"Since we just signed Figo, the club’s debt exceeds 200 million euros. This is not a secret, so we cannot use cash to conclude the transaction, but in other ways, I believe that if Millwall is willing to conduct this time with Real Madrid Cooperation, both parties can get a mutually satisfactory result."
After Florentino finished speaking, he took the glass and drank.
He didn’t come to ask Aldrich to do business. It’s okay to be successful. It doesn’t matter if it’s not successful. In the business of business, the world is not around him. The business is not righteous. Real Madrid only needs to be sincere enough to do this Power, he is worthy of his own conscience.
If you fail to sign, you cannot sign.
But if the reason for not signing is that you have not worked hard, this is unacceptable for the successful.
Aldridge didn't rush back to the other party, picked up the card and looked down at the name on the card.
I was really surprised.
Anelka.
Ballack.
Kalumb.
Redondo.
Guti.
Casillas!
Real Madrid has no cash to pay for Henry's transfer fee.
If Henry transfers, it may be a record high price.
Before Real Madrid sent a quotation of more than 30 million pounds, but that was the era of Sens.
After Florentino came to power, they bought Figo with the money, so they have no money now.
The six names that appear on this card are obviously Florentino in exchange for Henry's chips!
