Chapter 21: Query the price

No need to guess, no need to even think.  The person who came to look for Don Eun, hoping that the person who talked to him must be Allen Adams.

His nose is more sensitive than a wolfdog when it comes to money.

Tang En also knew that he would come to him sooner or later. This summer he broke two great things in his mind. One was Ribery and the other was the "blank check gate" of Van Nistruy who had just ended. Even if these two businesses were made in one go, the club's financial situation would be greatly improved.

This time, if Allen doesn't look for him, he will not be the club's marketing manager.

"I know you're coming to see me, look." Tang En pointed to the table with two cups of steaming coffee on it. "I've been preparing two cups these days."

Allen was helpless. There were not many ways to deal with a hooligan like Tang En.

"Okay, Tony. Since you know I'm coming to you, you obviously know why. I'm not talking nonsense, can you listen to my opinion?"

Tang En made a gesture of inviting him and sat on the boss's chair.

"To be honest, I don't know much about what's inside the team, so I don't know what you think of Bentner. But I think selling him now is the best choice."

Tang En nodded and signaled him to continue.

"On the one hand, Bentner no longer wants to stay in the team at all, and for such a player, it is not wise to force him to stay. And it may also cause turmoil in the locker room." Speaking of this, Allen glanced at Tang En, and found that he lowered his head, as if he was thinking. After all, when it comes to Tang En's field, he was afraid that Tang En would have any bad reaction. Now, he seemed a little relieved, so he continued: "On the other hand, I won't hide it from you, Tony. The club needs money very much now. After you promised to raise Ribery's salary, the rest of the team also had this meaning, and we must meet their requirements. In addition, the actual cost of building a new stadium is more than our budget, and some expenses are completely out of control..."

In this regard, Allen must admit that it was caused by his own lack of experience. After all, he did not do engineering projects before and was not clear about many of the tricks inside. It was not until the new stadium started construction. He found that many things had not been considered thoroughly before. So he could only use the money to fill in...

"The third point...the global economic environment is not very good now."

Don Neng knew nothing about what Allen said. He was an economic idiot. The term "global economic environment" sounded like a matter of another world.

"We need money to deal with some emergencies." After saying that, Allen spread his hands. He had already told Tang En. After working with Tang En for a few years, he had already become familiar with the character of this person. Tang En is very tough in personality, sometimes with a bit of arrogance and unreasonable taste, but he is not a stubborn stone. If he wants to accept what he is not willing to do, there are only two ways: one, persuade him with kind words. He is a smart person, so he naturally knows which one should choose; and the other is a simple and crude approach. Bypass Tang En directly and prevent him from knowing, and tell him after things are decided and started to be implemented. The so-called "cooked rice with cooked rice."

Of course, the second method will permanently damage the concern between the two people, and unless it is absolutely necessary, Allen will not choose to do so. The first method... the only risk is not knowing whether Tang En will be persuaded every time.

For example this time.

After listening to Allen's statement quietly, Tang En was silent for a while before looking up at the other party. "By the way, Allen. I still have to apologize to you."

"Hmm?" Allen Adams was confused.

"About Van Nistruy. I haven't discussed with you what I want to do before. You must be very angry, right?" Don said to Allen seriously.

Allen waved his hand quickly: "I know what you want to do, but I really don't know what you will do. Also, don't think so badly. Although I am a businessman, I am also a person with a temper. I can't accept Manchester City's approach of being almost insulted. Businessmen pay attention to equal relationships in their business. Everyone is the same, and no one is much more noble than anyone else."

Seeing Alan explaining seriously, Tang En smiled first.

"Can you give me time to think about Bentner?"

Allen knew that he could not ask Tang En to make a decision now, so he was willing to consider it instead of just refusing it, which was already very proud. So he stood up and nodded: "I remember you don't have much time, Tony."

Yes, there is not much time left. It is August 27th, and there are less than four days left before the transfer window is closed.

Don't talk to Bentner anymore. Bentner's father did not call Dontner again. Manchester City did not make a new offer again. Did they give up? This matter was resolved quietly?

Of course it is impossible.

Don Eun was trying to calm down his mind and then sort it out. Although the interview with Bentner ended up badly. Don Eun was still unwilling to let the Danes go like this. Mainly... he didn't want to sell him to Manchester City, and he felt disgusted when he thought of the Arab face.

When Tang En stood alone by the training ground and was distracted, he heard a sudden commotion coming from the training ground.

Fighting?

Since Zimbonda and Bentner had an incident with that, Tang En was very sensitive to this. He hurriedly closed his mind and looked at it carefully.

A group of people were running towards one point. Through the crack, he saw the team's number one center Van Nistruy rubbing his thighs and sitting on the ground helplessly.

Injured?

He ran over to see what was going on.

When the team members saw the leader coming, they all consciously made a way out. He walked straight to Van Nistruey and asked Fleming, who was busy. "What's going on?"

"Thigh muscle strain." Fleming heard Tang En's voice and looked up at him. Perhaps the other party's frown brow gave him another understanding, so he added: "It's not a big deal, but he will definitely not be able to play this weekend's game."

Hearing him say this, Van Nistruy smiled and comforted Don: "I'm fine, boss."

Tang En nodded and then quit. Tang saw him chasing him: "The starting list is about to be adjusted. Bentner..."

Tang En shook his head: "We will play 451 the day after tomorrow."

"That '1'?"

“Eastwood.”

Don looked at Don Eun strangely.

Tang En did not respond to his doubts and turned around and left.

So Tang had to look back at Ben Turner in the crowd. He was standing aside to drink water. His teammates around him were talking about Fanny Struid's accidental injury. Lennon seemed to be talking to him something, but it could be seen that Ben Turner was absent-minded.

Does he hope to play in this game or not?

The opponents Nottingham Forest faces in the third round of the league are never easy to deal with - it is Chelsea, a stalemate who has been entangled with them in these seasons.

But Chelsea's head coach is not Mourinho or Grant. It is "Big Phil" Scolari.

Although the new season has only started two rounds, it is still a focus battle. The media began to hype this game, and they showed that Chelsea has not defeated Tony. The Dondi Forest asked Scolari.

Brazilians are very smart, and he was not fooled. They just said that it was someone else's grade and had nothing to do with him. Then they no longer answer such questions.

Don Eun has been busy fighting with Manchester City during this period and has no time to cooperate with the media to have a verbal battle with Scolari. Look at his busy appearance now, it really makes people worry whether he is ready to play against Chelsea...

The day before the game, Donn announced the roster for the next day of the game in Wilford. There is no name for Nicklas Bentner.

No one is surprised now. The players are neither blind nor deaf, nor fools. Everyone knows the news that Bentner and Don Eun have a falling out, and knows that this person is determined to leave the team. Some people understand the reason for him to go in, while others sneer at it.

So when Bentner was not on the roster, everyone knew that this must be the boss intentionally. It was a punishment, right? Yes, it must be a punishment and warning to the traitor.

Bentner stood in the team with a bad face. When Tang En said "disband", he turned around and strode away first.

He knew that he would definitely leave. But he could not accept being treated like this before leaving. In his heart, he no longer had any attachment to this team. He had decided that if the team did not let him go, he would go back to Denmark to stop training!

"Tony, can you explain to me a little bit, what is your purpose of making this arrangement?" Tang asked on the way home. He noticed Bentner's performance just now and was a little worried.

"Someone pointed at me. I questioned my tactical thoughts and I wanted to let him know who is the boss of this team." Tang En's voice was very cold.

Tang sighed, he knew that Tang En was so angry.

"But... what do you decide to do about this?" He refers to the matter of Bentner's transfer.

This time, Tang En shook his head, his tone was a little confused: "I don't know..."

I really don’t know. On the one hand, I’m angry at Bentner’s betrayal, but on the other hand, I can’t easily let go of four years of time and the hard work I put into him. I’ll just give up and let him go? Or do I force myself to stay in the team, and both sides will be hurt?

Just when Tang En was helpless, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

He took out his cell phone and took a look. Tang En smiled: "Bentner's father called, he must have known that his son was not on the roster tomorrow. He can't tell his father that he is still a good boy. He tells his father the first time if he has anything, tsk tsk..."

He shook his head and answered the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Thomas Bentner.  I'm so glad you still remember to call me. Yesterday I waited for a day and didn't wait for your call. I thought you gave up."

Tang En spoke a respectful voice enthusiastically, but Thomas Bentner couldn't laugh at all. The most worried thing he was to let his son be the target of Tony Tang En's revenge, and now it seems that his worry has become a reality.

"I think it's time to show off, Mr. Tang En."

"What is this?" Tang En pretended to be surprised. "Didn't we have already cleared the cards?"

“…”

"Your son insists on leaving. And I won't let him go, isn't that the case?"

As Tang walked, he held up his phone to deal with Thomas Bentner.

"I think I need to remind you, Mr. Tang. My son's contract with the Forest Club will expire in July next year, and my son's agent, Mr. Yulic, has already agreed and will not engage in any renewal negotiations with the Forest team. I am kindly suggesting that I will let my son go now, and you still have money to make. If you wait for a year..."

Tang En choked the phone suddenly. Then he threw it out with a swing of his hand. The quality of this new phone is better than the previous one. He jumped on the ground and just knocked off a corner.

Tang next to him watched the scene happening in front of him in surprise. He didn't know what Bentner's father said to Tang En on the other end of the phone, which made him so angry. He turned his face and found that Tang En was full of anger.

"A bitch, threaten me!"

Tang ran to the front and picked up the phone, and found the corner that was knocked off. Then he handed it to Tang En: "The problem of falling down the phone when you are angry... needs to be changed."

"I only have this thing to throw... call me, yours... don't worry, I won't throw it away." Tang En did not answer his cell phone, but asked Tang for him.

Tang gave his own to Tang En, who called Allen Adams' mobile phone number.

"Allen, reply to Manchester City. Just say less than 30 million pounds. Don't buy Nicklas Bentner!"

"Tony..." Tang was a little worried when he heard him say this, "Is this price too high?"

Tang En, who hung up the phone, returned the phone to Tang and said to him: "Don't Manchester City like to be a kid? I'll let him do enough!"

His face was ferocious.  It scared Don even worse... "What did Thomas Bentner say to you?"

"He told me that Bentner's contract has expired one year, and they don't plan to discuss contract renewal with the club." Tang En glanced at Tang, "I have forgotten this before."

Tang: "…"

On the morning of the day of the match against Chelsea, the media in Nottingham were still fighting the Manchester City club. The 30 million pound offer made Mark Hughes angrily scold Tony Done for being greedy. Pierce Bruce helped Done fight back in the Evening Post, saying that Nottingham Forest’s tomorrow star, the number one scorer in the next ten years, has a bright future. The successor of Van Nisstruy, who is valued by Done, and the handsome Nicklas Bentner has only sold 30 million, which is very fair...

Allen Adams insisted that the price of 30 million pounds would not let go, and he was not afraid that Manchester City would not want it. Because now all England know that Manchester City's forward problem has reached a point where it cannot be solved.

Manchester City earlier contacted the young Brazilian striker Jo (Jo), who scored 30 goals in 53 games in Moscow. Although Jue really wanted to play in the Premier League, this transfer was very complicated. The ownership of Jue is not in the hands of CSKA, but in the hands of MSI, just like Mascherano and Twiz back then. Due to the unpleasant transfer of Twiz to Manchester United that year, MSI did not agree to release the person this time, and the FA also stated that they would prevent the transfer. In addition to the old club's refusal, there is another factor that bothers if they join Manchester City - he is not qualified to obtain a labor certificate.

If the matter is dragged on like this, the transfer window will be closed, and MSI still has no intention of letting go. Unfortunately, Manchester City had to focus on Bentner.

It is precisely because of understanding these backgrounds that Allen dared to spend time with Manchester City.

On this side, Allen and Manchester City Club asked for a price that was hiding. On the other side, Don't have a hard fight.
