Green Life

　　 The smoke cleared, and Melwood regained peace.

　　 In a high-end office building in the West End of London, all kinds of suits and shoes, Orpheus Ledi came in and out, and it was very busy. The rent here was expensive. The only one that can be compared with Hong Kong, China, can be called an inch of money.

　　 "Jonathan, we are here with greater sincerity this time," Liang Dongqing said while sitting in Jonathan's office.

　　 I watched this boy getting hotter game after game. In the past few days, he has become a social hot spot in China. If you don't know Mark Qin, you are embarrassed to say that you are a fan.

　　 The board of directors of Dunau Sports could not sit still, so they decided to double the offer in hopes of advancing the contract.

　　 Jonathan had discussed this matter with Mark Qin and Peter a long time ago. Peter also checked the strength of Dunau Sports. Exclusive is absolutely impossible. No amount of money will be signed.

　　 can only sign a priority cooperation agreement, and Mark Qin is going to ask Jonathan to hire a domestic agent to take charge of this stall. Jonathan himself cannot always go to the country.

　　 "Mr. Liang", Jonathan made Liang Dongqing a cup of coffee and sat in the boss chair and said: "Mark has initially authorized me to discuss cooperation with your company, but it cannot be an exclusive. This is the bottom line."

　　 Dongqing Liang immediately put down the cup, "But we are very sincere~, you can listen to our offer first"

　　 "No discussion," Jonathan shook his head and said, "This is made by Mark, but in order for us to cooperate smoothly, the commission can be relaxed to between fifteen and twenty depending on the situation."

"In this case……"

"You can communicate with your boss. Only by agreeing to this general principle can we discuss details and implement various terms. This kind of cooperation is actually good for both parties. Everyone is free to cooperate and earn money together, and there is no need for each other. Accommodating, what do you think?" Jonathan said with a smile.

　　 "This...", Liang Dongqing hesitated a little. He himself felt that this was a good way, but it had to be approved by the board of directors. "I will communicate with you first, I will be here in these two days, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible"

　　Exclusive, in fact, it involves not only money, but also the monopoly of resources. For Danube Sports, which aims to be listed as soon as possible, it is a natural hot topic and can boost the confidence of investors and market makers.

　　 But if you don’t agree, you can only get second, and priority is not impossible.

　　 When I went back to Liang Dongqing at noon, I hurriedly held a remote video conference with China in the hotel. I replied to Jonathan in the afternoon and talked according to your cooperation framework!

　　 So Liang Dongqing personally led the team to formally negotiate with the negotiating team arranged by Jonathan. This kind of framework agreement involves extremely cumbersome details.

　　Various categories of items, endorsement restrictions, image management, and various details are divided into proportions. It is estimated that they will be more efficient if they can be discussed around New Year's Day!

　　 Jonathan is directing the general direction of the team. He doesn't have time to talk about these details himself. There have been many endorsements recently.

　　 sneakers, handguard sleeves (because Makqin is used to wearing them in winter, he is afraid of the cold~), cars, sports drinks, snacks... too many, he has to take someone to talk about them one by one.

　　Because their strategy is to focus on short-term cooperation before he is 18 or 9 years old, negotiations are more troublesome.

　　I have talked about the BOSE headset worn by Mark Qin, the backpack on his back, and so on, which are not considered big contracts.

　　 The real big contract is definitely sporting goods based on sneakers. Adi, Nike, and Puma are all interested, because Makqin has a natural fan logo MKQ18 that is already widely known.

　　 This time Jonathan went to talk about Porsche, because he remembered that Mark Qin mentioned that he liked Cayenne.

　　 Now he can run himself, except for Maqin, it is also Bell, but it is a pity that Bell has been injured recently.

　　……

　　 Since October this year, major European banks, dominated by Germany and France, have successively announced their involvement in US subprime loans, and the situation has deteriorated.

　　 The subprime mortgage default rate announced by the United States in the new quarter has risen again. Many experts predict that by the first quarter of next year, the default rate will rise to a record high, and the European and American stock markets have fallen.

　　 Winter is here~

　　Maders was sitting on a plane heading to the United States. This was his sixth flight to the United States in two months. The company's mess in the U.S. subprime loan business was deteriorating, causing him to be overwhelmed and desperate.

　　 Default, stocks fall, investor confidence is lost, bank credit goes bankrupt, they are falling into the abyss, and the entire board of directors is overwhelmed. If there is no good way to stop this vicious circle, they will be waiting for bankruptcy protection.

　　 The wealth of their shareholders will also evaporate most of them overnight, turning from a rich man to an ordinary person.

　　 In London, Berlin, and Paris, countless downstream financial companies in the banking industry have begun to lay off their employees, preparing for the winter.

　　 No one can foresee the tragic degree of next year, when Wall Street will have a large number of company bankruptcies, countless people will be unemployed, and the rolling traffic of history will crush all trivial things~

　　 The harshness is beyond everyone's imagination. David Moores looked at the financial report in his study, looking sad.

　　 In just over a month, my asset appraisal report has shrunk by nearly 20%. Now all real estate valuations and financial premiums are shrinking.

　　 There are still two weeks to open the winter transfer market. The 30 million that Benitez originally promised will also shrink.

　　 Now the club is his greatest asset. David Moores has been in the business for so many years and he still has his vision. This year the club is in such a good form. If he wins the league championship, the sale of the club next year will get a higher market evaluation.

　　 Just overcame Manchester United at home, which made David Moores feel better. The Champions League advanced strongly and the league took the top spot. Liverpool has not been so strong for many years.

　　 Benitez looked at the first team outside the window who was doing small-range header training. His eyes were red. He watched the video for a day and night, and every detail of the game was played back in his mind.

　　Makqin reclaimed too close to the back waistline. He was one of the few when he went to the left forward position. At the end of the game, he ran to the right to meet Gerrard.

　　Is Benayoun as his substitute? Or Alonso? Unexpectedly, he turned over the previous videos of Maqin and looked at it, and suddenly realized.

　　 This kid didn’t kick as instructed? How bold is a young player to violate the coach's instructions?

　　 He was not sure. When Maqin was training, everything was as usual. He didn't have any sincerity. Apart from being a little happier, he seemed to have forgotten the Shuanghonghui.

　　Sami Lee was blowing his whistle and was directing the training. His unintentional sentence yesterday made Benitez think about it, "This Mark, kicking is more like a core than Alonso~", he watched the video and said.

　　 The team's style of play has taken shape for three and a half seasons. The core is Alonso. Gerrard must give him way, like the core? What a joke!

　　 Benitez’s plan was to put him in the ninth and a half position after the winter transfer period! Because Crouch is very likely to go in winter.

　　 This home-grown striker, who is often selected for England, has had enough of being a third or even fourth forward here.

　　 "Dangdang~" A knock on the door interrupted his contemplation.

　　 "Oh? Parry, come on, sit down," he stretched out his hand to motion to the sofa, rubbed his eyes and said.

　　 Parry looked at his red eyes, knowing that he was staying up again, "Rafa, you should also pay attention to rest, so stay up all night so you can eat your body."

　　 "There is no way, the battles are tough now", he sat down and sighed, "Why, what do you have today?"

　　 Parry is a little embarrassed, but he promised well at the beginning and changed his mind temporarily. There is always some guilt.

　　 "That's it, Rafa", he rubbed his hands, "David talked to me on the phone last night, the winter transfer funds have been prepared, but due to the current economic downturn, it may only be enough for 20 million."

　　 "Twenty million?" He frowned. This is not easy. He also plans to activate Mascherano's buyout clause in winter. The money is not enough.

　　 "Yeah", Parry nodded and explained for David, "He has done his best, unless he pledges Liverpool shares, otherwise he can't get more."

　　 He certainly wouldn't do the mortgage of Liverpool's shares. If he accidentally asked someone to get a deal, he would just go to bed.

　　 "Twenty million", Benitez knocked on the table, "Are there any funds next summer?"

　　 Parry shook his head, "Unless you sell players and extra tournament bonuses, otherwise...", he didn't continue.

　　 Mascherano and Ashley Young can only choose one, Benitez thought.

　　 If Crouch successfully transfers in winter, he will have almost 10 million in income. Mascherano’s activation clause and Ashley Young’s market price are about 18 million.

pick one of two.

　　 Benitez nodded and said that he knew it. He accepted it calmly. He still has two and a half years of contract with Liverpool. After staying here for almost four years, the economy is just like this.

　　……

　　 Two days later, Liverpool went to London to participate in the quarter-finals of the League Cup. Benitez frantically complained about his luck. At this juncture, there was such a fishbone match.

　　 The food is tasteless, and I give up the panic of getting stuck.

　　 Crouch, Voronin, Zhar, Hobbes, Lucas, Makqin, Insuya, Itanje, Hypia.

　　 Old old, the edge of the edge, it is the heart of Sima Zhao, everyone knows.

　　 But he can’t do anything about it. It’s the league a day later, what can he do? Fight for the League Cup, give up the league?

　　 What's the point of winning Manchester United?

　　 In the end, Liverpool lost cleanly by zero to two, and said goodbye to the League Cup. There were few young players in the team, and this kind of cup was really tasteless for them.

　　 Mark Qin received a core level treatment in this game. Chelsea did nothing to defend him, one to follow the defense, and one card position to block the pass, so reputation is not necessarily a good thing.

　　 There were boos all over the court. He was very tired. Chelsea’s waist was much harder than Manchester United. Benitez’s arrangement showed that the league would not let him play. Why did he save his energy?

　　 One day later, Liverpool’s main players were all out, sitting on the home court, a clean 4-1 win over visiting Portsmouth, Torres scored twice, Benayoun and Lucas who came on the bench as icing on the cake.

　　 Portsmouth right back Glen Johnson, who was loaned from Chelsea in this game, performed well and attracted Benitez's attention. Portsmouth's goal came from his assist.

　　 Mark Qin did not make the list in this game, Benitez is also using this method to convey a message to the team, nothing has changed, Manchester United 30 minutes in the second half is only an exception.

　　 The establishment of a new core will involve the performance of many players and how much turbulence will it cause?

　　 Benitez is not a rookie coach. Regardless of whether Mark Qin was intentional or unintentional in that game, he decided to use this method to express his position and maintain the stability of the locker room and the team.

　　 What Liverpool needs most in the league now is stability!

There are three days before Christmas. Liverpool will go away on the second day of Christmas to play against Derby County, and then sit in Manchester on the last day of this year to face Manchester City. This Chinese Derby, which was warmed up by domestic media early on !

　　 Around Christmas, Premier League teams are often busier than usual, and because they have games the next day, Christmas is only a half-day holiday.

　　 In these five major leagues, apart from England, no one can arrange this schedule. It is as annoying as the domestic New Year's Eve leaders telling you to work overtime!
