At the same time, in an office at the Laco base.
A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was sitting on the sofa, chatting with Eduardo.
This man was Haji, the business manager of Laco.
Haji smiled and said excitedly: “Do you know? This morning, two Dragon companies asked me about the price of our billboards for the next game.”
Eduardo smiled and said: “This is a good thing!”
Haji sighed: “I have been in Laco for ten years. This is the first time that a Dragon company has asked us to advertise. I couldn’t believe it when I received the call.”
Eduardo: “There will be more and more such things in the future.”
“I hope so.” Haji chuckled, “But they are all asking me if Su will start in the weekend game.”
Eduardo thought for a while and said: “I am not particularly clear about this. Even if you ask Jimenez now, he probably can’t give you an accurate answer. After all, there are still several days before the weekend game, and anything can happen during this period.”
Haji nodded, and then said: “Then at least it can be guaranteed in the 18th In the NPC list, we can see him appearing at the Riazor Stadium in the weekend game. ”
“Well, this should not be a big problem. With his recent performance, it is not difficult for him to play.”
“OK, I am relieved, and the Longguo fans can be reassured.”
Eduardo looked at him and continued: “This year, the economic conditions of many La Liga teams are not very good, and we have also encountered considerable financial troubles. Now there are customers from the East, so you have to worry more.”
“Don’t worry, as long as Su can continue to have such a high-light performance, I have the confidence to double our income.”
Eduardo smiled: “He has the ability.”
Haji also laughed: “Yes, this kid is really good.”
After speaking, he stood up: “Then I will leave first, and I still have to discuss the details of the contract with my Longguo friends.”
Eduardo got up and sent Haji to the door.
At this time, the landline on the desk rang.
Eduardo hurried a few steps from the door, came to the table and picked up the phone.
The voice of the security guard at the gate of the base came from inside: “Mr. Eduardo? Austin is here to visit and wants to see you.”
Austin?
Eduardo not only knows this person, but is also very familiar with him. He was his subordinate in the early years.
At that time, Austin had just graduated from school, was smart, motivated and hardworking.
He was around Eduardo all day and respectfully called Eduardo teacher.
Eduardo once thought that he would be his successor.
But as La Coru’s performance got worse year by year, just a few years ago, after falling into the Spanish Second Division, he jumped to Celta, which is also a team in the Galicia Autonomous Region.
Although Eduardo was reluctant to call him a traitor, his favorability towards him also plummeted, and there has been no contact since then.
Recently this summer, because Celta wanted to introduce Du Jie, they had contact again.
Eduardo also knew that Austin was now in Celta, responsible for the introduction of players. It is said that he is very appreciated by the Celta boss and it is rumored that he has a great chance of being promoted to Celta’s sports director.
“Let him in!”
Thinking of this, Eduardo walked back to his desk and sat down.
A few minutes later, Austin, dressed casually as if he had just returned from a beach trip, came to the office.
“Hi, teacher, long time no see!”
As soon as Austin entered the room, he greeted Eduardo.
Eduardo said expressionlessly: “If you are here to reminisce about the past, you are welcome. If you are here to discuss Du Jie’s transfer, forget it. We have decided to renew his contract with him.”
Austin walked straight to the desk, took off his sunglasses, and his eyes flashed with cunning.
“We can talk about Du Jie slowly. Today I want to talk to you about Su…”
Before Austin finished speaking, Eduardo’s expression became more and more ugly.
“Su is also not for sale. I have to warn you not to try to contact him privately. We will not accept any offer. If you have the ability, please activate his penalty.”
Austin was also slightly stunned. He has known Eduardo for more than ten years. In his impression, he rarely sees Eduardo with a black face.
Austin said awkwardly: “Teacher, I know.”
Immediately, he changed his face again and asked in a concerned tone: “Teacher, is Laco’s financial situation still as bad as when I left?”
Eduardo didn’t say anything, because Austin was asking knowingly.
Last year, Lendoiro left, and there was no signing of more than one million euros this summer.
All these prove that Laco is really out of money now.
Austin sees loveEduardo chose to remain silent, and immediately continued: “Teacher, in recent days, I have received news from friends in the La Liga official. For the long-term and healthy development of La Liga teams, they will impose very severe penalties on some clubs with serious financial deficits at the end of this season…”
He paused for a moment, glanced at Eduardo condescendingly, and continued: “At that time, I am afraid that many teams will be relegated, so as your former student, I have to remind you that sometimes you still have to reluctantly give up.”
Eduardo frowned. Austin was not exaggerating. He had heard about this.
In recent seasons, many La Liga teams, especially those small teams in the middle and lower reaches of the league, have owed a lot of debts.
This season, the La Liga official has already spread the word that it is ready to take action against some teams.
“Thank you for the reminder, so you should be more obedient. This year, everyone is not having a good time.” Eduardo spoke slowly.
Austin laughed secretly. This old man is really stubborn. Although our Celta does not have as much income as Real Madrid and Barcelona, it is definitely much better than you.
Seeing that Eduardo was unmoved, Austin sighed, put on his sunglasses again, shrugged and said, “Teacher, sorry to bother you. Actually, I came back this time mainly for vacation, and I came to see you by the way. Let’s talk again when we have time!”
Hearing this, Eduardo stood up from his chair, took the initiative to extend his hand and said, “Sure, you are welcome to come home anytime!”
The two shook hands, and Austin turned and left the office.
The smile on Eduardo’s face quickly disappeared. He sat down again and took out Su Wei’s contract from the drawer of his desk. As he read it, his brows furrowed.
“I didn’t expect that someone would target Su so soon. This contract doesn’t look very safe. The penalty of 8 million is a bit too little! Alas, I didn’t expect that Su would make such great progress at that time. It seems that a new contract needs to be drafted!”
