The thirty-seven-year-old Abramovich looks very young. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, many oligarchs emerged in Russia. They frantically plundered the state-owned assets left by the Soviet Union for decades, and then became billionaires one by one.
The Russian oligarchs who relied on the chaotic situation at that time to become various tycoons each have a net worth of tens of billions of dollars. These people are among the top richest people in the world.
These people controlled all aspects of Russia's economy and politics in the 1990s. But these Russian oligarchs are still unfamiliar to ordinary people. If Abramovich had not entered England, Europe would not have suddenly
Pay attention to these Russian oligarchs.
"Hello, Mr. Abramovich."
Lister met Abramovich for the first time today on Abramovich's private luxury yacht. This luxury yacht is a luxury yacht that can be ranked among the world's private yachts.
In 2001, Abu spent US$100 million to build the 107-meter-long "grand**leu". It is the sixth largest yacht in the world and is equipped with 2 helicopter platforms and a 22.5-meter-long sailboat, but such a luxurious yacht
Abramovich was not satisfied, so he sent the yacht to Germany for modification, increasing its length by 4 meters and spending tens of millions of dollars. This is the yacht that Lister now rides on.
100 million US dollars, a yacht. After modification, it can even become a naval warship. The level of luxury inside makes people like Lister who have seen a lot of the world speechless. As expected, he is an oligarch with tens of billions of dollars.
Spending hundreds of millions to buy a luxury yacht. Lister also felt a little envious, wondering if he should also spend tens of millions to buy a luxury yacht.
Even if it's not as good as Abramovich's boat, it should be a beautiful one. It would be nice to take the family out for fun in the future.
"This yacht is nice."
Lister was hostile to people like Abramovich. Although Lister was not a good person, he thought of various ways to evade taxes and took advantage of all kinds of advantages. Although Lister had never taken drugs.
These things are related to the Communist Party, and they have also done some shameful things.
But like those Russian oligarchs who unscrupulously embezzled national assets, and then everyone was full, while the people below were impoverished. Riester believes that such behavior should be strongly condemned. Even these people should be brought back to the country and shot.
However, this kind of trial should be conducted by Russians. Lister is not a Russian and is not qualified to judge them. Therefore, at most, he does not like them very much.
But whether you like it or not, Lister is not the kind of person with moral cleanliness. Lister is the player agent, and Abramovich is the club owner. And the important thing is that Abramovich has money and is willing to spend money.
Riester will have to deal with him.
"Mr. Cherny, if you want to entertain guests, this yacht can be lent to you at any time."
Abramovich is very happy. Today's meeting between List and Abramovich was facilitated by Pini Zahavi. This summer Abramovich spent a lot of money, throwing away hundreds of millions of pounds to the entire European football world.
They were all shocked. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and other wealthy clubs were eclipsed by Chelsea's lavish spending.
The staff of Chelsea even said proudly that if Pele is still playing football, then Chelsea will buy Pele too. Millions, tens of millions are a small amount, and hundreds of millions of pounds are thrown away to buy a ball directly.
The team is the boss. Abramovich bought Chelsea for 150 million pounds, repaid 80 million pounds, and Chelsea spent another 120 million pounds in the summer. After all, Abramovich arrived at Chelsea in just over three months.
Of this, 350 million pounds have been spent, which is more than 500 million euros when converted into euros.
Many people in the European football world exclaimed, especially those European strong teams that are gradually declining. However, although Chelsea spends a lot of money, the mainstream is ridiculing them, mocking Chelsea for being stupid because of their money. Abramovich is very confident,
I believe that as long as you have money, nothing will be a problem. But you are rejected by everyone in the football world.
Buy Raul, buy Shevchenko, buy Totti, buy Henry, you don’t even know the virtues of Chelsea, you dare to buy these players. I despise you, the whole European football world despises you. Abramovich really hopes to buy a
Two internationally famous superstars, but unfortunately none of them bought it. This made Abramovich very angry and felt he had lost face.
At this time, Pini Zahavi, who had not participated in the summer transfer, told Abu. The football world is also complicated. This time, he was unable to buy many of his favorite players. Not only did Abu not understand the rules of football, but also
He has been suppressed by many wealthy families. Because Abramovich is so powerful, many wealthy families have secretly cooperated with him. They will not sell you core players or important players.
He spent a lot of money and listened to ridicule. Abu began to face it seriously. Abu was rich, not ordinary rich. But Abu would not spend money randomly, after all, it was his own money. So Abu listened to Zahavi's advice.
Opinions, I want to get to know List, who is known as the number one agent in European football.
"Thanks."
There are full service staff inside the yacht, and all kinds of drinks are also available. You can have whatever you want to drink. A few people sat down and chatted slowly, starting with some off-topic topics.
"Rister, I heard what Pini said. You have participated in the reconstruction of many clubs, and they have been quite effective. Dortmund and Deportivo have won the league championship, and Valencia has won the Champions League. I just want to
Let me ask, how should Chelsea go?"
Now there are two people that Abramovich trusts the most. One is Pini Zahavi, and the other is De Visser. However, De Visser is an excellent scout, and although Pini Zahavi is excellent,
Agent, but he is more of a white wolf. Pini Zahavi rarely participates in the specific affairs of the club. Therefore, neither of them has experience in team building.
When Abramovich asked the two of them, both of them unanimously introduced Lister to Abramovich. They believed that Lister was the most experienced and powerful in this regard. If Abramovich had a short time
If you want Chelsea to integrate into European football, cooperation with List is the best way.
This is also the first time Abramovich has heard List's name. After getting to know List, you can know that List is not a wasted reputation. Not only does List have many players, but more importantly, List has participated in many
The club's reconstruction work. He has also served as a consultant for many clubs, including transfer consultants, team affairs consultants, etc.
"Roman, there is no one thing that can be done in one step. Chelsea now has no history, no achievements, only money. Therefore, it is not attractive to superstars. This cannot be changed in a short time. Therefore, you want to introduce Henry, Law
Well, Totti, none of this is realistic."
"Really impossible?"
As a giant with a net worth of tens of billions, Abramovich really wants to bring in one or two superstars to elevate his status. The reason why Abramovich is willing to meet Lister is that he thinks Lister should be strong enough to help him bring in superstars. Therefore, after hearing that Lister was
Te's words were a bit disappointing. Before meeting Lister, many people had boasted about Lister's power, but Lister did not give him a very satisfactory answer.
"Roman, two to three years. You just need to bring a few championships to Chelsea within two or three years, and then let people see that you are not just here for fun, but are willing to invest in Chelsea for the long term. Then Chelsea will have
It’s attractive enough to bring in superstars.”
"Two to three years."
Although the time was not long, Abramovich was a little dissatisfied. Lister really wanted to tell Abramovich that you can introduce superstars at will. But this is simply impossible.
The attractiveness of Chelsea now is completely incomparable with that of later Chelsea. Later Chelsea was attractive enough to bring in stars because Chelsea had enough results and strength at the time. But currently, many stars doubt Abramovich
Strange. Many people in European football have doubts about how long Abramovich can stay at Chelsea, whether it is just for money laundering or political asylum. How can a superstar come to such a club with no guarantees?
"Roman, the number of superstars in European football is limited, but there are also many capable stars. Chelsea has money and can definitely bring in outstanding stars from the Premier League, Serie A, and La Liga. It can also bring in the best players from the French Ligue 1, Eredivisie, and Portuguese Super League.
Player introduction. For many of them, wealthy clubs are very attractive, but Chelsea’s money is equally attractive.”
Money is the boss, and this is true in every industry. As long as you can follow the rules of a certain industry and let money clear the way, there is basically no way to stop it. Now the European football giants are very afraid of Chelsea, especially the English giants.
This is even more true. Historically, Chelsea tried every possible means to enter the G14, but those giants were opposed. But no matter how hard they guarded and defended, or even united to suppress Chelsea, they could not stop Chelsea's rise.
Because Chelsea is rich, and not just ordinary rich. As long as he continues to spend money like crazy, not even UEFA can suppress Chelsea's rise. Of course, if he continues to run rampant like this summer, the price of his rise will be too high.
The money spent was too much. That’s why Abramovich prepared to meet a powerful agent like Lister to help him rise quickly.
"In one or two years, Chelsea will be the top team in the Premier League. At that time, Chelsea will have strength, performance, and money, and then they will be able to attract superstars."
Abramovich actually doesn't care much about team management. He only cares about one thing, whether the team has superstars, whether the results are good, and whether the football is good or not. If he hadn't received too many rejections this summer, he would never be so careful.
.
"Of course, you have another way. If you like superstars, you can actually train them yourself. There are many top-level talents in European football at present, and they will become new superstars in European football as long as they are cultivated in a year or two. Superstars cannot be introduced.
But Chelsea can definitely bring in those young superstars and train them into superstars."
"With Chelsea's financial resources, it will be difficult for those top talents to refuse Chelsea's call."
Abu nodded. He slowly tasted the wine in the glass and did not speak immediately. Lister didn't like this kind of Abu. He could pretend to have some money. But whoever makes money in this world is the boss. If Lister had
With tens of billions of euros, he might be even more arrogant than Abramovich now.
"Actually, Chelsea now has all the conditions for success, but it also lacks an excellent club operator."
"Who's the best?"
"Peter Kenyon, CEO of Manchester United."
Abu is Abu. As soon as Lister spoke, he directly asked who was the best.
"Kenyon?"
Abramovich knows Kenyon because they all watched football together. However, at present, Abramovich has not thought about bringing in Kenyon, but he also agreed with what List said.
"Pini and Kenyon have a good relationship. If Chelsea are really interested in him, I think it won't be a big problem."
As the CEO of Manchester United, Kenyon will definitely shock the British football world if he comes to Chelsea. Manchester United is a wealthy club, and those involved in Kenyon joining Chelsea will be regarded as enemies by him. Although Lister and Kenyon know each other,
But Lister had no intention of being involved in Kenyon joining Chelsea.
This kind of thing should be left to agents like Pini Zahavi who don’t have many players. Leicester still has many good players and needs to continue to cooperate with Manchester United. (To be continued.)
