After watching several games with Chen Guanhai and his son, Li Shiguang's enjoyable World Cup journey did not last until the end.

On June 25, the Premier League's summer transfer period officially opened. Starting from the 26th, Li Shiguang received at least 5 phone calls from Allen every day.

This also forced him to return to Leeds after watching the quarter-final match between Germany and Argentina.

Of course, before going back, Li Shiguang still pulled Mascherano, who lost the game, out for a meal after the game and comforted his favorite player.

After returning to Leeds, Li Shiguang rested for a day.

The next morning, accompanied by Allen, he came to Elland Road to check the progress of the expansion of the stands. Allen had completed the expansion procedures and the construction team bidding work before, and had been waiting for Li Shiguang to give orders. So after learning that Li Shiguang and Lao Chen had reached a verbal agreement, Allen immediately notified the construction team to enter the site, and the construction work began the next day.

What made Li Shiguang happy was that after the expansion work, Elland Road Stadium will increase nearly 20,000 seats, which means that starting from next season, Leeds United's ticket revenue will nearly double.

After watching the stadium, Li Shiguang wanted to take Allen to eat lunch first and take a rest.

But Allen didn't give him this opportunity at all. He called Lina in front of him and asked her to prepare two pizzas and put them in Li Shiguang's office, and then took Li Shiguang into the car and rushed to the Thorp Arch Base.

"Alan, it's not that bad, now that you're the general manager, you don't even give me time to have lunch? My life is my life!" After being forced into the car, Li Shiguang complained helplessly because he didn't have lunch.

Li Shiguang's words made Alan roll his eyes to the sky. Who is the real one? You've been out for almost a month, and I'm the one who works like a slave in Leeds every day!

With a pout, Alan took out a thick folder from his briefcase and handed it to Li Shiguang: "Boss, stop complaining. Take a look at the offers we received these days. If you continue to play outside, won't your conscience hurt?"

"Fuck, so many!?" Li Shiguang took it in surprise.

After all, the summer transfer window has just opened for a few days. Alan did tell Li Shiguang on the phone that he had received offers from many teams, but he didn't expect there would be so many!

It seems that the World Cup is indeed the best opportunity to increase the value of players!

After opening the folder, the first thing that came into Li Shiguang's sight was Barcelona's offer for Falcao, 36 million euros.

Last season, Falcao's performance in the Premier League was indeed brilliant. For a long time, he was a strong contender for the Premier League Golden Boot. Although he finally lost to Henry in his prime, he still won the title of Premier League Silver Boot. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the sharpest sword of Leeds United.

Scrolling down, in addition to Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, also from La Liga, also sent an offer to Leeds United for Falcao, but in comparison, Atletico Madrid's offer of only 27 million euros seemed a little shabby.

After thinking for a while, Li Shiguang handed both offers to Allen: "Reject them. Atletico Madrid can reveal some news that Barcelona is also looking for Falcao. Then, Barcelona can say two words, add money!"

In this season at Leeds United, Falcao has made rapid progress, and the system shows that he has reached the A-level evaluation.

Li Shiguang believes that in at most one year, Falcao's ability will definitely be able to break through S. If he sells it again at that time, the price can at least double again.

You know, in the original time and space, Falcao joined Monaco from Atletico Madrid for 60 million euros, setting a record in Ligue 1.

So facing these two offers, Li Shiguang was not in a hurry, and let the two companies compete first. What if one of them can offer a price that satisfies him?

After handing the paper in his hand to Allen, Li Shiguang continued to look down, and the top one was Manchester United's offer of 30 million euros for Berbatov.

Seeing this price, Li Shiguang couldn't help but make a joke: "Wow! Sir Alex Ferguson is here to snatch someone from me again. Don't say, he is quite sincere."

Hearing Li Shiguang's teasing, Allen also laughed along: "Hahaha, it seems that Ferguson is not afraid of you, the boss."

Picked up the quotation sheet, Li Shiguang

He lowered his head and began to think about the possibility of selling Berbatov.

He had already finalized Ibrahimovic, and Podolski was also shining in the World Cup. Next season, Berbatov would probably become a substitute or appear in the position of attacking midfielder.

But now looking at Rivaldo's state, it is not a problem to play for another year, and after the Champions League, Leeds United really needs the experience of this old actor in the Champions League, and the young De Bruyne can also play next season, so it seems that Berbatov's position in the team is indeed awkward.

And Li Shiguang also thought of a key point, that is, his tactical style often pursues the word "fast", but Berbatov's own style of play is not suitable for his style, which is also the main reason why Li Shiguang prefers to use Podolski or Vardy in the second half of the season.

After a meal of analysis, Li Shiguang has made up his mind that it should be okay to sell Berbatov, and he can also make a small profit while making a good relationship with Ferguson.

After all, compared with Tessing, Berbatov is not so pit!

After returning to Thorp Arch, Allen rushed to reply to emails from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

Li Shiguang returned to the office, made a cup of tea, and called Ferguson.

"Hello, Li, what's up?" Ferguson's voice came from the phone.

"Alex, shouldn't you be the one to ask me something?" Li Shiguang's voice was a little bit of a smile.

Ferguson thought for a while before coming back to his senses: "Are you back to Leeds?"

"Yes, Alex, Allen has just shown me your offer." Li Shiguang said in a flat tone, and after a pause, he continued: "This offer is very sincere. As long as the player agrees, I will not set up obstacles."

Li Shiguang's straightforward attitude surprised Ferguson on the other side of the phone.

When he heard Li Shiguang pause just now, Ferguson thought that there would be a long period of negotiation between the two. After all, in Ferguson's mind, Li Shiguang is notoriously difficult!

For a while, he didn't think about how to answer.

Seeing that Ferguson didn't reply for a long time, Li Shiguang joked again: "What? Not buying it?"

After hearing this joke, Ferguson finally reacted and said: "Haha, thank you, Li, I will ask someone to contact the player's agent right away."

After finishing the business, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries and hung up the phone.

In just a few minutes, Li Shiguang happily pocketed 30 million euros!
