Chapter 195
"Boss, our opponents are coming."
Simeone's gentle reminder interrupted Li Shiguang's thoughts. He turned around and saw Laporta and Rijkaard walking towards where he and Simeone were sitting.
Among the many white-haired bosses present, Laporta and Rijkaard, who were only 45 years old and had black hair, should be the youngest people except Li Shiguang.
After coming to the two of them, Laporta took the initiative to extend his right hand to Li Shiguang: "Good evening, Mr. Li."
"Good evening, Mr. Laporta."
"Good evening, Frank."
Seeing the Barcelona duo being polite, Li Shiguang and Simeone also quickly stood up from their seats and shook hands with them respectively.
Then, Li Shiguang pointed at the words Barcelona vs. Leeds United on the screen, with a helpless look in his eyes: "Mr. Laporta, do you have anything to talk to me about?"
Laporta naturally noticed Li Shiguang's gesture, and after looking at the big screen, a bitter smile appeared on his face: "No big deal, Mr. Li. The last time you came to Barcelona, your schedule was too rushed, and Frank kept blaming me for not notifying him to come to the club to meet you, so he wanted me to introduce him to you just now, but we didn't bother you just now because we saw you were busy. But who knew that after the draw, we became opponents, hahahaha."
"Yeah, who would have thought?" Li Shiguang responded to Laporta's self-mockery helplessly.
Beside them. Rijkaard also ended his reminiscence with Simeone, turned his head and looked at Li Shiguang, and joked: "Li, I'm not very satisfied with you. You actually took the player I have been paying attention to for a while to England!"
You pay attention? Rivaldo? Not really!
Hearing this, Li Shiguang looked at Rijkaard in a daze. He really couldn't remember which player in Leeds United Rijkaard wanted.
Seeing that Li Shiguang really didn't know, Laporta next to him smiled and said the answer: "It seems that De Nildo didn't tell you about this. Frank wanted to buy Alves last year, but Sevilla rejected our offer."
After hearing Laporta's explanation, Li Shiguang suddenly realized it, but then he fell into confusion again. Didn't Alves go to Barcelona after Guardiola took office? It turned out that Barcelona during Rijkaard's time had already taken a fancy to him?
But no matter what, Alves is already a Leeds United player, and next month he is destined to step onto the lawn of Camp Nou wearing a white jersey.
So Li Shiguang smacked his eyes and used his sight to draw Rijkaard's attention to Calderon behind him: "Hahaha, Frank, this can't be blamed on me. In fact, I used Maicon quite well, but I can't prevent some people from using tricks!"
"Li, the dinner is about to start, do you want to join us?"
Suddenly, the voice of Fiorentino interrupted the communication between the four people. Li Shiguang turned his head and saw Fiorentino and Ferguson walking behind him with a smile.
Laporta and Rijkaard in front also heard the voice of the old man. Facing the old enemy who had already retired, the two did not have much interest in chatting with him. After nodding to the two politely, they said goodbye to Li Shiguang. However, before leaving, Rijkaard still expressed his expectation to play against Li Shiguang next month.
"No, Mr. Fornolentino, Diego and I are still busy rushing to the airport. Alan, the idiot, booked us a return ticket today!" After saying goodbye to the Barcelona duo, Li Shiguang raised his wrist to check the time, and then rejected the invitation of Mr. Florentino.
After the four of them said goodbye to each other, Li Shiguang hurriedly walked out of the venue with Diego.

An hour later, in a rather remote cafe in Zurich, Li Shiguang and Simeone, who should have appeared at the airport, were sitting at a table in the corner, drinking coffee leisurely. At the same table with them, there was Raiola, who was smiling and talking excitedly.
"After tax, I got nearly 3 million euros, Mr. Li."
"Fuck? So much? Is Laporta so generous?"
The three of them had been chatting here for a while. Just now, when they were talking about the issue of player transfers, Li Shiguang suddenly had a whim and asked how much commission Raiola earned from Falcao's last transfer.
Hearing Li Shiguang's question, Raiola naturally did not dare to neglect it and honestly reported all his after-tax income.
To be honest, Li Shiguang was quite surprised by the commission of 3 million euros.
Seeing Li Shiguang's reaction, Raiola smiled more and his tone became more flattering: "It's mainly becauseThank you, Mr. Li. Without your training of Radamel and Mr. Allen's introduction, it would be difficult for me to earn such a large commission. When I sent Zlatan to Juventus, I only took a pitiful 100,000 euros, before tax!"
"Boss, I suddenly want to be an agent. Don't let Mino grab those good seedlings in the youth team in the future. Leave them to me!"
Seeing that Raiola made so much money, Simeone also came over and joked.
"Hahaha." Simeone's words made Li Shiguang and Raiola laugh, "Get lost, I'll give you a salary increase after this season, double it, okay!"
"Really! ? "
Simone's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out his phone from his pocket, preparing to ask Li Shiguang to repeat it.
Suddenly, a clear and pleasant sound of wind chimes came from the door of the cafe, which attracted the attention of the three people. Li Shiguang raised his head curiously and looked towards the door. He saw two mysterious figures walking into the cafe. They were all wearing hats and wrapped in the same style of black fur coats, as if blending in with the outside environment.
After the first person entered the door, his eyes quickly scanned the environment inside the cafe, as if looking for something. Finally, his eyes stayed on Li Shiguang and the other two, and he refused to come forward to receive them. After the waiter, the two walked straight over here.
Raiola was the first to react. Seeing the two people coming, he quickly stood up from his seat, first pulled out two chairs still hidden under the table, and then greeted the two with a smile on his face.
Raiola shook hands with them first, and then led the two people to Li Shiguang and Simeone.
The leader saw that Li Shiguang was still sitting on the chair and was not annoyed. He took off his hat to reveal a big bald head, bowed slightly, and greeted him.
"Mr. Li, it's nice to meet you. I am Galliani, the vice chairman of AC Milan..."
