The Ball at Your Feet

While the outside world was arguing about whether Monaco or Lyon could win the final league championship, in Monaco, the two people are also discussing the future of Monaco again.

"Mr. Campola, when the two of us met last time, I said that I was not very interested in saving the Monaco club. However, I have to say that the efforts of you and your club players made me change. I have an idea." In his own residence, Prince Albert motioned Campola to sit down, speaking in a manner that was not as cold and blunt as he was last time. "I think you are not wrong. Maybe, this This team is really worth my time to save."

"Your attention makes me flattered." A smile appeared on Campola's face. "So, are you going to come forward?"

"Yes, I am ready to come forward. But the prerequisite is that the Monaco players work hard enough to win the championship and reflect the spirit of Monaco. I will only help those who are willing to save themselves. If Monaco cannot show enough courage and Willpower, don’t blame me then.”

Show the spirit of Monaco?

Campola felt a little funny. What is the spirit of Monaco? What is the spirit of a place famous in the world for its gambling industry? The spirit of the gambler? Or is the spirit of the Monaco royal family, like the father of Prince Albert, because he had no money in the past, he married a movie star to subsidize his family's spirit of eating soft food?

What Albert wants, I'm afraid it won't be spiritual power.

"I noticed that after Monaco won the French League Cup, the media gave a lot of praise to Monaco." Prince Albert continued, "This kind of praise is very good for building the image of the Principality of Monaco. I hope This kind of praise is more."

This sentence made Campola understand what he was thinking.

He doesn't care about the life or death of any team, but he cares about his reputation. Saving a team does not have much impact on his reputation, but saving a championship team is of great help to his reputation.

Prince Albert's reputation in Europe can be said to be stinky. The chaos and indulgent life of the Monaco royal family has been very concentrated in him. He did not have a son after he was over 40, which also made the outside world speculate that the Principality of Monaco might be extinct in his hands and formally merged into France. That's why, his sister Princess Caroline would propose that King Rainier consider letting her own son, Prince André, take over as the king to avoid extinction of the country.

Although Monaco is just a broken country the size of a town, there is nothing trivial about the inheritance of the throne.

Prince Albert knew that he could not be more ethical than that little guy-he had a bad ass, he had too many models and actresses who had **** with him, and he couldn't count him. His nephew was only twenty years old and he was still young. It’s a lot, and there are far fewer problems. If Rainier could live for another ten years, he would have the confidence to prove that his nephew is not a good thing, but his father does not seem to have that long.

Prior to this, Albert was reluctant to intervene in the affairs of the club because he was afraid of burning his body, saying that he was not doing his job properly, or putting the responsibility of the club's mismanagement on him. But after Monaco won the League Cup, he changed his mind.

He suddenly realized that Monaco's supporters were much more unexpected, coming out to save the championship team, it is possible to make his reputation better.

But the prerequisite is that he won't get too deep.

"I have looked at the club's accounts. I really didn't expect our expenses to be so large and the debts to be so much." Albert shook his head, "Have you ever calculated it seriously? If we can win the championship, we still need it. How much money can bring the club back to life?"

"About 30 million is enough." Campola quickly replied, "Our bank owes about 200 million euros, but fortunately, we don't have to pay them all within one year of this year. We only need to have enough money to cover part of the money due this year. In fact, with such a small amount, we can get it by selling one or two players in the summer, but..."

"But if we know that we are short of money, all clubs will not negotiate with us. They will delay the start of the new season. When we have no money to register, they will drag us down and buy us at a low price. The team, right?"

Albert's words made Campola nodded.

"When we win the championship, I will come forward to guarantee you so that you can raise the money." Albert nodded, "There are many people who start companies in Monaco. I think if I come forward, they will be willing. Donate some money to contribute to the revival of Monaco."

"Your generosity and virtue will surely be praised by everyone."

Campola also knew what he should say at this time.

Albert laughed, and Campola understood what he said.

"I understand your feelings. In fact, you know, I am also a fan of Monaco. If the Monaco team can play better, I can also be happier. Our Monaco is a team and it is worth doing something for it. thing."

"Such a team is worth paying all to protect." Campola couldn't help but admire.

"Actually, let, I have been thinking, maybe you can do something to make this team better." Albert said, "You know, the Monaco club has been doing poorly over the years. , I think, our income may not be able to adapt to this era of increasing income of football players..."

"If we sell the players, it can still be maintained." Campola retorted, but he knew that it was not very realistic. "We may reduce the scale a little so that the team will no longer remain in the front line of the championship. , But we can continue to operate."

"How significant is the management of life as good as death?" Prince Albert shook his head, "Actually, I have a better idea."

"I hope to get your guidance." Campola has faintly realized what he wants to say.

"A Russian friend I know intends to invest in this team." Prince Albert pointed out the topic. "He is very rich and interested in football. He hopes to buy our club. The only problem is that he is not. A Monaco, not a Frenchman. It may not be supported by the team..."

"It is definitely not supported by the team." Campola immediately replied, "His Royal Highness, what are you thinking? This club is an inseparable part of Monaco. Like the Monte Carlo Casino, it is Monaco. The symbol of the club! And how can we let foreigners manage the club? Our home stadium is named after your grandparents. The owner of this club is the Casirach family, the club chairman is the Campola family, and the coach is Petit The family, the youth training management is the Barnid family-this is passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors, how can we sell it?"

"First of all, it is not to sell, but to inject capital. They become the majority shareholder of the team. You will not suffer any financial loss. Moreover, let alone we can no longer operate Monaco." Albert frowned slightly. "We have no money. Honors and traditions are all things that need to be mentioned when we have money to live. Now, we have so much money to live, these things, and then mention it. What's the use? So, I can make sacrifices for the team, and as my prince, I can give up my face to sponsor the team. Why can't you sacrifice your paranoia and give up some power?"

"What you told me to give up was not power, but the club! It was my hard work, my pride for twenty-eight years!"

"Some things, it's time to consider giving up." Prince Albert's voice became cold. "Let, you have been sitting in the position of club chairman for more than 20 years, and the club owes a huge amount of 200 million yuan. Debt, this is your responsibility. Of course, you have won a few championships, but the championships can’t be eaten. On the contrary, you almost made our club no money to eat. You are old and outdated. , Why can’t I consider making some sacrifices for the club’s future? If I refuse to raise funds for the club, what will happen to the club? Every one of us will let it go~www.ltnovel.com~ I’ll raise money Money, and you..."

Albert glanced at Campola, "You consider resigning. Take the initiative, and I won't put pressure on you in the board of directors."

"Resign?" Campola repeated, "Is this your friend's request?"

"No, it's actually my request." Prince Albert shook his head. "I recently met an American friend. He pointed out that our club has many unreasonable business concepts. For example, many of our employees are very amateurs. of……"

"They are the veteran players of the club! Where else can they go if they don't stay in the club?" Campola raised her head. "Your Royal Highness, you shouldn't listen to a Yankee!"

"If the Yankee knows what business is, why don't I listen to him?" Albert shook his head, "Let, you are old and not suitable for this position."

Campola looked at Prince Albert in front of him, unable to say a word for a long time. Is this really the prince he knows who is very concerned about the future development of the team?

I thought that the reason why he changed his mind was to use Monaco’s reputation to redeem his dignity. Whoever asked, he wanted to use Monaco’s reputation to make a fortune, so that Monaco’s team could help. His wallet will make one last contribution!

"His Royal Highness, I will obey your instructions."

Campola bowed deeply, obediently. But in his heart, there was a completely different idea: Your Royal Highness, you are a good politician and know how to threaten people. But you are not a good fan. You are good at politics, but you don’t understand football. Do you think you can easily leave me at a loss? It's a far cry.

Football is not as simple as a money game.
