568 Movie Tycoon

Mourinho is sulking at Chelsea, but List is getting busier and busier. Because of PSV's ferocious performance in the Champions League in recent years, their players have become popular in the transfer market.

Messi was the first to leave PSV, and the transfer was for an astonishing 46 million euros. Immediately afterwards, Real Madrid began a fierce pursuit of PSV's Lars Diarra. This transfer

Riester reached an agreement with Real Madrid very early, but Real Madrid did not bother to bring in players such as Sneijder, Pepe, Drenthe, and Saviola this summer.

Now Real Madrid has settled most of the transfers, and then started negotiations with PSV. Lars Diarra is young, only 21 years old this year. But he performed very well at PSV, especially in the Champions League.

Excellent performance. PSV does not want to sell people cheaply.

There is a precedent for Real Madrid to introduce Pepe at a high price. It is believed that no one who is lower than Pepe would want to join Real Madrid cheaply. It can be said that Pepe's transfer has made all clubs cautious when doing business with Real Madrid.

A nobody like Pepe can spend 30 million euros, and his players cannot be sold cheaply. Therefore, after constant negotiations, Real Madrid finally introduced Las Dia for 23 million euros.

pull.

Negotiations with Real Madrid are relatively pleasant. As long as they are not superstar-level players, List still likes to negotiate with Real Madrid. Because Real Madrid has always been very generous when it comes to commission issues, because they themselves have to split the money in the middle.

When Rist brought Lars Diarra to Eindhoven, he held 30% of the ownership.

Of course, this part of the ownership is not entirely in the hands of Riester. Riester gave 10% of it to Las Diarra himself. Las Diarra loves money, and Riester is willing to share the income in this way.

way to appease him.

However, even 20% ownership still gives List an income of 4.6 million euros. Including Real Madrid's commission, List has an income of 8 million euros from this transfer. This summer has been

With the transfer to Las Diarra, List's income from various transfers has exceeded 80 million euros. List himself estimates that after this summer transfer, the income should be over hundreds of millions. Of course, this

Part of the money may not all belong to Riester, but once it exceeds 100 million, Riester's direct income should be more than 60 million euros.

Although he was talking about the transfer of Las Diarra, Lister was not in Madrid or Eindhoven at this time. On the contrary, Lister was in Italy at this time, meeting a famous movie tycoon in Europe and the United States.

"Mr. De Laurentiis. Congratulations to Naples Club for returning to Serie A again."

The person who met Riester was Aurelio De Laurentiis. Their family is a film family, and he has a very arrogant uncle, that is Dino De Laurentiis, a leading figure in the European and American film industry. This

But who has shot nearly 500 movies in his lifetime? Who in the European and American film industry doesn't know Dino De Laurentiis, and who doesn't know the De Laurentiis family.

As a very famous movie tycoon, Aurelio De Laurentiis is worth a lot of money. There are different opinions on the exact amount. Some people say that he has a net worth of tens of billions, but some people say that he only has a few billion euros. Not to mention some of him.

The businesses behind the scenes are just the ones that appear on the outside. His net worth is no less than 2 billion euros. After Naples went bankrupt in 2004, it was he who bought the Naples club. Then after three years,

He has already moved from the third level league to Serie A. And there are rumors that this person is closely related to the Naples mafia.

Naples is a place where the mafia is very rampant. The Italian mafia active here is the "Camorra", one of the three major mafias in the Apennines. These mafia have a history of more than 200 years and have evolved from economics to politics.

All aspects have penetrated into all levels of the country. For example, some politicians in Italy will collude with the mafia to buy votes from them. Top-level mafia like the "Camorra" in Naples usually have the funds they can use.

They are all over tens of billions of euros, and their share of the national economy amounts to about two to three percent of Italy's GDP. If the Italian mafia were added up, it would be almost more than seven percent of GDP.

Fighting, collecting protection fees, and extortion are all child's play for them. Small restaurants in Naples, for example, have to pay the "Camorra" an average of about 4,500 euros in protection fees every year. The Italian government

The fight against the Mafia mainly focuses on violent crimes, that is, criminal crimes. However, these Mafia, which have been rooted in Italy for more than two hundred years, are no longer just gangsters who fight every day. They were basically obtained by the Italian government.

They are all the lowest level gangsters.

The top leaders of the Mafia are doing well. They have established a strong smuggling team throughout Europe. According to incomplete statistics, the annual smuggling volume has exceeded Fiat's turnover. Not only smuggling, they also intervene in all walks of life. Just like

In the current Naples, the "Camorra" controls the city's garbage disposal business, and uses this to receive countless subsidies from the Italian government every year. Moreover, industries such as transportation and construction in Naples currently make money.

, are all industries controlled by the "Camorra". If anyone dares to fight with them in these industries, they don't mind letting people know that they are the mafia.

If we do not attack the Mafia economically and do not explore their smuggling and money laundering channels, then the Mafia will never be extinct. They are not only organized in Italy, but now include France and Eastern Europe. They have powerful

The organization has cooperated with the local underworld to form a huge drug trafficking network, smuggling network, and money laundering channel. There are rumors that the De Laurentiis in front of him has a close relationship with the top of the "Camorra" and is even the top boss of the "Camorra"

one.

"This is just my first step."

De Laurentiis is usually very arrogant and does not hide his arrogance at all. He smiled proudly and said: "I had a five-year plan and wanted to get Naples into Serie A within five years. It's just that it's better than the plan.

Even better. We came to Serie A in three years."

List nodded. Indeed, De Laurentiis can be arrogant, because List knows that Naples' strength will steadily rise in the next few years. It has slowly become the only club in Serie A that can compete with the three northern powers.

"Now I have a new five-year plan. I plan to make Naples a strong team in Serie A within five years, able to compete with those strong Yankee teams."

"Well, now is a good opportunity."

List nodded. De Laurentiis' timing was also good. Milan and Juventus, among the top three in the north, had suffered a huge blow due to "Calciopoli". The space left at this time was suitable for Naples to occupy. Now Europe

As long as you have money, you can't do anything in football. Those clubs that dare to invest will achieve great results.

"Mr. Cherny, I am looking for you today precisely because of this matter."

"Please tell me."

If possible, Rist would not be willing to cooperate with someone like De Laurentiis who is suspected of being a mafia, but this is the world. As the saying goes, there will be no fish in clear water, and various mafias in European football are very powerful.

As an agent, you can't completely get rid of them. When I was a small agent, I didn't want to get involved with them, but now that Lister is in a position, he doesn't care about cooperating with them.

"I admire Afellay from Eindhoven very much."

"Mr. De Laurentiis, Ibrahim is not cheap. I heard that Marino is a manager who believes in small inputs and high outputs."

Afellay is not a nobody. At the age of 21, he has been playing in the Eredivisie for almost four years. In recent years, he, Messi and Huntelaar are known as PSV Eindhoven's frontcourt trident.

He is also one of the three outstanding players from the Eindhoven youth academy. Messi went crazy last season. Afellay did the same. He scored nine goals and had 11 assists in the middle.

Although Afellay has been overshadowed by Messi's brilliance, he is still praised by European football. Especially because of his fast speed, good skills, and good passing ability, he can show great success whether in the center or on the wing.

Power. In addition, Messi sold 46 million euros this season and Lass Diarra sold 23 million euros. Therefore, Afellay’s transfer fee is definitely not cheap. There is no 20 million.

I'm too embarrassed to give a quote.

But the current sports director of Naples, Marino, switched to Naples from Udinese. During his years at Udinese, he believed in a policy of small investment. Although De Laurentiis invested a lot of money in these years, he did not

Too much money was invested in the transfer market. This summer, Napoli only introduced unknown players like Lavezzi, and there were no obvious heavyweight signings.

But once Naples introduces Afellay, Afellay will be the most expensive star Naples has introduced in recent years. Since the Calciopoli scandal, the attractiveness of Italian football has dropped significantly, and it will be difficult to attract some top talents to Italy.

Afellay's and Marino's ideas should be completely opposite.

"Haha. Mr. Cerny, I am the boss of Naples."

"kindness."

Riester has never been involved in Serie A. Because Serie A is too complicated, but with the departure of Moggi, there is a huge gap in the Serie A market. Many agents hope to fill this gap. After all, the decline of Serie A is just

Compared to the Premier League and La Liga, from the current point of view, it is at least better than the Bundesliga and Ligue 1.

Naples began to rise under De Laurentiis. In the next few years, he will invest 30 million to 40 million euros every season. Although it is nothing compared to the strong teams in the Premier League, it is still in Serie A.

Very high investment. And being able to cooperate with De Laurentiis will make it much easier to do anything in the future. De Laurentiis is not only a movie tycoon, but also has close ties with the Mafia, and has huge connections all over Europe and the United States.

relation.

And although Serie A is in decline, it is a league with strong tactical ability after all. Afellay is trained here, which will be good for him in the future. Historically, Afellay directly joined Barcelona, ​​but lost himself in Barcelona.

Maybe after training in Serie A, I can achieve higher results.

"Mr. De Laurentiis, I am willing to let him go to Serie A. But you have to convince PSV. He is PSV's current treasure."

"With your guarantee, I feel psychologically confident."

De Laurentiis nodded. This time he entered Serie A, he wanted to do something big. But now the attractiveness of Serie A has dropped significantly, and it is no longer able to attract real top players. Therefore, he can only focus on

As for those talented stars who are still in the minor leagues, he believes that the introduction of talents like Afellay this time will definitely have huge benefits for the introduction of other talented players.

"Mr. De Laurentiis, to celebrate our possible first cooperation, let me introduce you to a talented forward."

"I'm curious."

After hearing what List said, De Laurentiis' interest increased greatly. Today was the first time the two met, and List could not fool him with just any player.

"Currently, the Argentine River Plate club has a Colombian forward named Romedal Falcao. He is only 21 years old and I have been following him for more than three years. This is a truly talented forward with a goal-scoring efficiency.

Very high. The current value should be around 5 million euros. If you can bring him in, I can definitely guarantee that in three years he will be worth at least 30 million. I estimate that 40 million should not be a problem."

Falcao is a truly top striker. Historically, whether he was at River Plate, Porto, or Atletico Madrid, he did not need any adaptation. As long as he played, his goal rate was very high, which is very rare in football.

An efficient shooter. Since De Laurentiis wants to cooperate, Riester is willing to give him a big gift, hoping to be able to completely represent Naples in the transfer business in the future.

"Romedal Falcao?"

"Yes. If you believe in my vision, then don't hesitate to introduce him. He will become a symbol of Naples and a striker in Serie A."

"kindness."

De Laurentiis nodded. In fact, Falcao is not a little famous now. Many European football clubs are paying attention to Falcao. But it is only attention, because talented players appear every year in South America, and Falcao does not

Not the best among them. It will take a year or two for European clubs to observe a talent of Falcao's level before they take action. Unless it is a top talent like Aguero, they will not wait to make a move.

For now, Falcao is just a talented forward who has just appeared in the Argentine League. He is not outstanding enough to make European football clubs crazy. Otherwise, his worth will not be only a few million euros. Look at Aqui

For a top talent like Luo, Atletico Madrid would pay more than 20 million euros.

"I'll look into it."

Falcao, De Laurentiis had never heard of it. But since it was Riester who brought it up, he could not ignore it. So he smiled and said: "Mr. Cerny, I hope we can cooperate happily."

"That's what I hope too."
