A cold and dignified mature female voice came from the office of Chelsea CEO.
Emenaro adjusted his collar again, prayed to God secretly in his heart, and then opened the door and walked in.
The Chelsea CEO's office is very large and luxuriously decorated, in a typical Russian palace style, and the whole room is filled with gold.
Anyone who walks into this office will feel a sense of insignificance.
Even senior staff within Chelsea are no exception.
If Emenalo was given a choice, he would rather face ten angry Mourinhos than face the hostess of this room - Sister NO.
Sister NO never gets angry, but Sister NO has her own aura of a strong woman, and she is the kind of strong woman who is decisive and sassy and cannot be questioned.
During negotiations, if someone else says NO, there may still be room for maneuver, but when the NO sister says NO, it is really NO.
Sister NO will never regret the decision she made and will never look back.
Sister NO, whose real name is Marina Granovskaya, is an authentic Russian woman.
She was originally Abu's personal assistant, helping him take care of everything.
Later, Abramovich parachuted to Chelsea and completed the most gorgeous transformation in her life.
At first, others thought that this beautiful Russian woman got to the top because of her body. After all, Sister NO is indeed very beautiful, but she is not.
Abu has had three wives and countless girlfriends, but Sister NO is always just Sister NO.
Sister NO is more like Abu's apprentice. She has a very similar style to Abu. Like Abu, she is a person who pursues a "silent" policy - keeping a low profile as much as possible and not accepting interviews, even if there are negative rumors.
Don't respond, just focus on the goal, complete the task wholeheartedly and efficiently.
From the first day when NO took over at Chelsea, everyone at Chelsea felt this woman's thunderous tactics.
——At this moment, this legendary 33-year-old woman was wearing a simple and elegant princess dress, sitting behind a luxurious and spacious desk, holding a phone in one hand, and her expression was as cold as an iceberg.
Who would have thought that this queen-like figure actually has a little princess living deep in her heart?
Seeing Emenalo walk in, Sister NO raised her long eyelashes, raised a slender index finger to Emenalo, and signaled Emenalo to wait for a while.
Even her "wait a moment" action carried a natural intimidation.
Emenaro quickly stood still and waited patiently.
Emenaro sincerely hopes that this phone call from Sister NO can bring a good mood to Sister NO.
Of course, Emenalo also knows that her mood cannot affect Sister NO's decision.
But Emenalo still wishes Sister NO a good mood.
I saw Sister NO holding the phone with an expressionless face, "...Listen, we can offer Ramirez a contract with a total price of 18 million pounds at most, and tell him that he has one week to make a decision.
Decision, otherwise, we will make another choice. Chelsea is Chelsea and Chelsea will not lower its profile for any player, so be it."
After saying that, Sister NO hung up the phone.
Although Sister NO has an expressionless face, from Emenalo's point of view, it's not too bad.
Emenaro complimented at the right time: "Ramirez is very good. The price of 18 million is just right. Marina, you are so awesome! I bet that no one can do better than you."
——In the workplace, there is no shame.
What's more, Mu Qiang is a part of human nature. When everyone sees someone stronger than themselves, they will unconsciously feel a sense of admiration.
Faced with the compliment, Sister NO just smiled faintly, "Michael, what can I help you with? But you have to be brief, because I have a meeting later, and the big boss wants Torres, and I have to implement it.
feasibility of the matter.”
Emenaro said quickly: "Oh, Marina, I won't delay you for too long - I sent you a work email last night, did you read it?"
"Work email?" Sister NO shrugged, "Really? Sorry, I usually go to bed at 10 o'clock in the evening, so I may have ignored it. I'm looking for it now - well, I found it. This is an email about
Gu…day’s scouting report?”
Emenaro quickly corrected him: "Gu Ran, his name is Gu Ran, not Ri."
Sister NO smiled and said, "This name is so unfamiliar. He should not be in our first-team recruitment plan for next season, right? Not bad, Michael, you are taking the initiative now and actively looking for outstanding players who are missing from our network.
Player."
Emenaro quickly said: "Yes, this is what I should do."
Sister NO praised: "Very good, Chelsea needs talents like you."
Emenaro wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Marina, take a look first..."
Sister NO said: "Why are you so nervous? You sit down first, I will take a look -"
Sister NO clicked on the email and frowned slightly the next second.
"Is this Gu Chinese? And he's also an amateur high school player?"
"Michael, is today April Fool's Day?"
Sister NO said while checking her calendar.
How dare Emenaro sit and talk?
Emenaro said quickly: "That's it, Marina, I know you will think this is a bit ridiculous, I also know that your time is precious, and I also know that there are many things worth tens of millions of pounds waiting for you.
However, I am willing to assure you from my professional perspective that this Chinese high school student named Gu Ran is indeed worth your 10 minutes to think about him - because he will be the future of our Chelsea
.”
Sister NO looked up at Emenalo for the first time.
Sister NO's eyes were as calm as water, but Emenalo felt as if he was being held down in the water and about to drown.
Sister NO’s aura is so powerful!
This kind of strong woman possesses the oppressive power of a queen. Only a truly top king can rival her. It is definitely not something that ordinary men can control.
Obviously, Emenalo is not a king, Emenaro simply does not dare to look directly into Sister NO's eyes.
I heard Sister NO calmly say: "So, Michael, you are not kidding me."
Emenalo felt that his calf was going to cramp, but he still tried to maintain his composure on the surface, "Yes, Marina, this is not a joke."
Sister NO said: "I'm sorry, Michael, it's not that I don't believe in your vision, but an amateur high school student from China? No, I don't believe he can become Chelsea's future."
Sister NO is so straightforward!
Just say NO!
And he's very sensible! He's cool! He's not sloppy!
She didn't get angry when she refused, but she didn't get angry or assertive, and she didn't tolerate any rebuttal!
This kind of woman... is so domineering! Tough!
The hope in Emenalo's heart was suddenly shattered.
He knew that when Sister NO said NO, it meant that the matter was over and there was no need to talk about it anymore.
But... Emenaro is really unwilling to give in.
If it's just for an average player, it's okay to give up like this.
But this is Gu Ran! A god-like talented player! Gu Ran’s future is limitless and visible to the naked eye!
Emenaro watched with his own eyes how Gu Ran shocked the audience in a high school student competition and became a god!
He wrote so much analysis for Gu Ran and drew so many running diagrams. Moreover, at the end of the email, he specially attached a photo of Gu Ran that he secretly took!
Even if Sister NO takes one look at Gu Ran's photo, she will immediately be interested in Gu Ran!
...Fake, if I had known this, I should have put Gu Ran's photo at the beginning of the email!
Although this approach is extremely unprofessional, even if it is unprofessional, it is still better than Sister NO not wanting to read it after reading the title!
At this moment, Emenaro's intestines were filled with regret!
But he doesn't intend to give up just like that!
Emenaro mustered up his courage and said, "Marina, please read my scouting report, even if you only read the end..."
Sister NO smiled and shook her head, "No need, Michael, let's put it this way, it's not that I don't believe in your professional vision. In fact, I don't have any professional ability in the field of football, and your professional vision has given me a lot of help."
Great help, I trust you very much. If someone else had mentioned this to me today, I would have just said NO and would not have explained so much nonsense to him, but you are different and I am willing to explain it to you.
——”
Sister NO maintained a faint smile on her face from beginning to end, and her tone remained calm, but every word she spoke was filled with a queen-like sense of oppression.
Sister NO continued: "You don't need to read the report, I just need to trust your eyes to know that this is Gu Ri... Oh no, I mean, this Chinese kid can really become a world-class star one day - but
, He is not yet. He is not even a professional player yet. Only God knows whether he will fall midway. Genius players are born every day in this world, but in the end, how many can truly become stars?"
"Chelsea's policy is to only have stars. Because stars can not only lead the team to victory, but stars can also bring huge commercial benefits to the club."
"Let me give you a more common example - it's like I want to sell canned fruits. I won't take care of him when he is still a small fruit. I only need to wait for him to mature.
After the wind and rain, the scorching sun, and the insects and birds have pecked it, buy it, then wait for it to be canned, label it, sell it, and use the money earned to buy new mature ones.
fruit."
"Michael, you are looking at the problem from the professional perspective of football, but a club is not only professional football, but also has business operations. And I am looking at the problem from the perspective of business operations."
Sister NO looked at Emenalo, "Michael, from a CEO's perspective, I don't want fruit seeds, and I don't want fruit seedlings. I just want that one, and I can make delicious canned ripe fruits after picking them."
Emenaro smiled bitterly, "Yes, Marina, I understand... But Gu Ran is not a fruit, he is gold. When he starts to shine, countless people will rush over to fight for it.
At that time, we might not be able to buy it.”
Sister NO smiled confidently, "Don't worry, as long as Chelsea wants to buy it, there is nothing I can't buy."
Emenaro pursed his lips, noncommittal.
Seeing that Emenalo was still unwilling to give up, Sister NO said with a smile: "Well, Michael, let's make a bet. The new season is about to start. You can continue to pay attention to that Chinese boy.
Performance, if he can make a splash before the winter window of the new season, then I will definitely call him personally, communicate with him patiently and deeply, and try my best to lure him to Chelsea.
.”
Emenaro's eyes immediately flashed with brilliance!
After Sister NO says NO, there is absolutely no room for turning back. Therefore, during this summer window, Chelsea will definitely not sign Gu Ran to the first team, unless Gu Ran is willing to accept the contract of the youth team-it is not a pure purchase of the youth team.
A report needs to be submitted to Sister NO.
Judging from the situation after Emenalo communicated with Gu Ran, Gu Ran would not agree to come to the Chelsea youth team.
But things are not completely hopeless now!
As long as Gu Ran can perform well in the professional league in the new season, Sister NO will become serious!
Emenaro quickly asked: "Marina, what is the standard for kicking someone out of the hall you are talking about?"
Sister NO was slightly startled. She originally just said this casually, which could be regarded as giving Emenalo a step forward, but she didn't expect Emenalo to be so serious.
Sister NO thought for a moment, then shrugged, "Perhaps he can get... 15 post-game ratings of 8 or more points in the professional competition during the winter window of the new season?"
It is not easy to get a rating of 8 or above in the professional competition!
After all, in professional competitions, your opponents are all professionals and will not let you perform easily.
Moreover, it is difficult for a player with an amateur grassroots background to play 15 times in half a season.
——There are 38 rounds in a Premier League season, and 46 rounds in a season in lower leagues such as the English Championship, English League One, and English Second Division, plus cup competitions such as the League Cup, FA Cup, and English Championship, and half a season in lower leagues.
Here, there are only twenty-seven official games.
Therefore, Sister NO feels that the standard she has set is absolutely impossible to achieve.
However, Emenaro said excitedly: "Okay! Marina! It's settled! I know you are a person who sticks to your word! God bless you!"
After saying that, Emenaro hurriedly ran out of the CEO's office.
Sister NO suddenly became a little confused:
What's going on?
Why does it look like I have promised to buy that Chinese boy?
Can he meet such stringent conditions?
Haha, if such conditions can be met, then I, Marina, will get him to Chelsea even on my knees.
By the way, what's his name?
Gu Ri?
Sister NO sneered and didn't take the matter seriously anymore. She grabbed the Hermès bag and went to the conference room for a meeting to discuss the feasibility of purchasing golden boy Torres from Liverpool.
After Emenalo left the CEO's office, he immediately returned to his assistant coach's office, then took out his cell phone, took a deep breath, and dialed Gu Ran's cell phone number.
At this time, Gu Ran and Annie had just finished eating.
Gu Ran saw the call from Emenalo and immediately picked it up to answer the call.
"Hi! Gu!" Emenalo's voice on the other end of the phone sounded particularly familiar, as if the two had been good friends for many years.
Gu Ran smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Emenalo."
Emenaro pretended to be relaxed and said: "Gu, I know your time is precious, so I will keep the story short - unfortunately, Chelsea cannot give you resources, nor can it activate the genius clause for you.
I can't help you apply for a labor certificate or sign you into the first team."
Gu Ran was already prepared for this, "Okay, Mr. Emenalo, thank you for informing me. Then, I wish you a happy day."
Although the transaction cannot be concluded, you still need to be polite.
After all, we are all future bosses, and we may still have to deal with each other in the future.
Gu Ran was about to hang up the phone, but Emenaro quickly said: "But don't worry, I have good news!"
"oh?"
"I have talked with our CEO Marina Granovskaya. What she means is that as long as you can get 8 points or more after 15 games within half a season, then during the winter window
When the time comes, we will fully launch the action of signing you in."
Gu Ran:......
Chelsea is indeed "evil" towards me!
But is Chelsea too smart for this kind of thing?
Southampton signed a contract with me to help me get a labor certificate, but when I was kicked out, you came to pick the fruits of Southampton?
How much money can you give Southampton?
Besides, it’s not about money at all!
If you are sincere, ask Sister NO to come to me in person to beg me! Otherwise, you will see if I ignore you!
Gu Ran then smiled and said: "Sorry, Mr. Emenalo, I didn't play hard to gain Chelsea's attention. Please don't waste your time on me. It's over between us. I wish you good luck."
, Mr. Emenalo.”
This time, Gu Ran directly said NO to Chelsea!
"Gu, Gu, don't, you have to play well, just 8 points in 15 games, you can do it..."
Emenalo was also miserable. First he was given a NO look by Sister NO, and then by Gu Ran.
Emenaro’s bitter face turned dark!
Although he is originally a black man.
"Goodbye!" Gu Ran hung up the phone without giving Emenalo another chance.
Annie hugged Gu Ran from behind and said comfortingly: "Gu, are you sad?"
Gu Ran shrugged, "No."
Annie said softly: "It's okay.
Damn it...
Is that what I mean? Really?
Gu Ran turned around and hugged Annie, with a real and sad expression on his face, "Annie, you still understand me best... I can't go to Chelsea... I'm so sad! I need comfort!"
As he spoke, Gu Ran buried his face in Annie's arms.
Annie patted Gu Ran's back distressedly, "I'm not sad, I'm here... How about we go lie down for a while?"
"Uh-huh,"
…
The next morning.
After getting up, Gu Ran took a shower, used the liquid nitrogen freezing space capsule and sauna to recover, and made himself a nutritious breakfast.
Next, it’s time to get down to business.
Chelsea has been completely cut off, and other small clubs are not reliable at all, so there is no need to write ink with Southampton Club. Finalizing the contract details early will also help Southampton Club apply for labor.
certificate.
Gu Ran took out his cell phone and found Lais Lao's phone number.
Gu Ran immediately cleared his throat and dialed Lai Lai's phone number.
Old Les picked up in seconds!
Before Gu Ran could speak, Laisi on the other end of the phone said excitedly: "Hi, Gu! Good afternoon! God, you finally called me! Tell me, what you are going to bring me is a
Good news! Tell me now, you have decided to come to Southampton Club!"
Gu Ran said calmly: "Yes, Mr. Rice, I have already thought about it. Although Chelsea has offered me a weekly salary of 4,000 pounds, I like Southampton and I am willing to sign with Southampton Club."
My first professional contract."
"Haha! Great! I knew it! Gu! I knew you were a very smart kid! I knew you would choose Southampton Club! You made a very, very right decision! Welcome! Welcome
You join the Saints!"
On the other end of the phone, old Les was as excited as a child.
For Old Rice, being able to sign such a talented player to Southampton Club is tantamount to starting the Southampton Club's century-old revival plan!
Old Les couldn't wait to say: "Gu! Where are you? I will go to you with the contract now! Let's discuss the specific contract details!"
Gu Ran said quickly: "Oh no, Mr. Rice, the place where I live is a bit... inconvenient. Let's do this. If it is convenient, I will go to your office in the afternoon to discuss it in detail."
Old Rice immediately said: "Of course, no problem, my dear Gu! I will go to the Staplewood training base in the afternoon, let's meet there? I will send you the address, and we will see you there at 2:30 p.m.
!”
…
Yes, today is the first update. Yesterday I wrote two chapters in a row. The double update that was originally close to 10,000 words suddenly turned into more than 8,000 words. It took a lot of energy out of me to change the book.
