You can appreciate him and hate him, but you can't help but admire him.

Florentino, this is a name that can always turn the impossible into possible.

Everything began in the summer of 2000. Florentino, who was just a junior in the European football circle, became famous in one fell swoop and dug Figo from the Camp Nou to the Bernabeu. Considering the hostile relationship between Barcelona and Real Madrid and the Barcelona captain, the 60 million euros that set the world's first net worth record at that time was not so eye-catching.

The biggest impact Florentino has brought to the football world and the thing that David Dunn admires most is that he runs a club by running a business. He believes that good can bring better and more.

During Florentino's administration, Real Madrid was a giant in the football market. As long as the star he was attracted to, he would definitely become a member of Real Madrid. In the summer of 2001, with the words "Are you willing to play for Real Madrid?" written on a napkin, Florentino captured Zidane, and the Frenchman's net worth reached more than 70 million euros, setting a world record again.

However, there is a saying circulating in Real Madrid Club. Real Madrid is a team full of history and honor. No one can be superior to the club, no matter who that person is...

Florentino is also well-known for his savvy and cold-bloodedness. In his eyes, Real Madrid's interests are always first, and anyone is just a gear on the club's money-making machine.

As a businessman, Florentino knows well that compared to whether he can mobilize facial muscles and build a charming smile, Real Madrid members care more about his ability to make money. On this point, David Dunn also agrees extremely. Even if Tottenham has no championship in two or three years, it will not affect his status. However, if his financial situation is bad, the risk of being kicked out will increase.

From Figo, to Ronaldo, to Beckham and other stars, from cheering to people leaving, Florentino got everything he wanted from superstars, swarming sponsors, packed courts, daily gold-double jersey sales and 50% of player portrait rights. When the commercial value and competitive state of these superstars reach the edge of the ceiling, he will decisively turn around and leave to the player market to search for the next target.

But he is smart but Florentino, but he is cold-blooded but Florentino. Not everyone catches a cold in his behavior, and many people hate him. But it is undeniable that Real Madrid clubs in the Florentino era have escaped the trouble of deficits and their financial data are good year by year.

David Dunn probably guessed what Florentino called for, but he knew very well that he was facing a businessman, not a gambler, which determined that Florentino would never risk spending a small probability event that he thought was not worth it.

"...By the way, I forgot to congratulate you on your return."

"Haha, the vote has not ended yet, nothing can be confirmed..." Florentino chuckled after hearing David Dunn's congratulations.

"Haha, there is no suspense anymore. I have read the report that Real Madrid has been in debt of 510 million euros in the 2008-09 season. Club managers like us must first understand what the boss and fans really need. I believe that Real Madrid members will make rational choices. Your profitability is recognized."

In terms of his status in European football, David is not lower than Florentino, but who made Florentino back to Real Madrid and had money, the reputation and influence he created was too great, especially Real Madrid is really too attractive to players. Florentino's methods are also much famous, and he can always poach the players he likes, which is very annoying.

"Haha, thank you..." Florentino's laughter came from the phone, and the greetings between the two were almost the end. "David, I saw the news. Although Ronaldo is a very good player, the price you offered is really terrifying. I thought Abu and the desert rich people were already exaggerated enough, but I didn't expect..."

"Haha..." David Dunn said with a wry smile: "I'm helpless, but my boss likes Ronaldo very much, and he is bound to win it."

"Is that so? David, you should be clear that Real Madrid's attractiveness to players all over the world, and under similar transfer fees, there is a gap between you and Real Madrid. Sorry, I don't mean to underestimate Tottenham."

"No need to apologize, what you are talking about is the fact. Indeed, Real Madrid is Real Madrid after all, but Florentino, to put it bluntly, football is actually a business. Sometimes, we have to sigh that in the face of capital power, no matter any professional player, he has to lower his head!" David Dunn narrowed his eyes slightly, held the phone and leaned on the boss's chair, raised his lips, and smiled. He liked this feeling very much. Sure enough, having a boss who is not short of money is good. Even when facing the rich Real Madrid, he can still face the opponent's biggest reliance.

The other end of the phone fell into a brief silence. Well, Florentino was indeed frowning a little, but he was not angry, but continued to smile: "The outside media has been rumored that Real Madrid and Manchester United signed a secret agreement on Ronaldo's transfer last year, so in fact, there is basically no suspense in Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid."

"Haha, I heard about it, but so what? Haven't you transferred yet? Besides, even if this so-called secret agreement is really there, it is not protected by any law. After all, it is bypassed by fifa. Faced with the huge transfer fee, how will Manchester United choose, which is seriously indebted... "

Speaking of this, a cunning smile suddenly appeared on David Dunn's face with a faint smile, his eyes flashed, and he directly pulled out a knife to insert Florentino, who is famous for his uniqueness. "Besides, even if Ronaldo transfers to Real Madrid, that's Calderon's credit and his own, isn't it?"

“…”

Facing Florentino's silence, David Dunn smiled and said, "Actually, in my opinion, Kaka is the most in line with Real Madrid's requirements in terms of technical and tactical ability and image."

"Haha, why, you Tottenham are also interested in Kaka?"

"Haha, not yet. In fact, if you want Ronaldo to join Tottenham, it is more of our boss's personal decision. The age of my boss and his personal likes and dislikes play a big decisive factor." David Dunn raised his lips, with a sneer on his face, and said in a relaxed tone. There was a subtext of obvious threat in his words. He believed that Eflorentino's shrewdness would understand at first.

Either make concessions in the transfer of Ronaldo to Tottenham and don't make trouble, or Real Madrid will have another willful enemy of the world's richest man from now on.

"Haha, David, you also know that in football, sometimes money is not the only one. Real Madrid is Real Madrid after all. There is a reason why a new football player like Chelsea could never catch up with its European dominance.

At Real Madrid, they can play with the greatest players in the world, which is very important." Florentino smiled happily, and seemed to care about David Dunn's threat at all. "By the way, David, is the player named Gareth Bale from your club sold?"

"Sorry, Bell is not a seller!" David Dunn frowned, his tone became cold, and he refused directly.

"Haha, there is no non-sale product. If you offer a price, I will never bargain!" Florentino said with a generous smile.

I have to say that this real estate tycoon does have a trick. When he heard that the other party was so generous, David Dunn was also a little moved and developed a little admiration for Florentino. Damn, this is the rich man who is used to spending money. He is a person who is used to living a tight life in Arsenal. He really needs to study hard.

"Bell is not a product! Don't test my words. We Tottenham may not have anything else, but we really can't spend it with more money!"

"Haha, okay, when you come to Spain, maybe we should meet and have a chat."

"No problem, I'll wait for your call."

Until the two hung up the phone, no one mentioned Ronaldo again, because everything they should have said had already been said. The rest depends on the choices of both sides and Florentino's determination. Whether they really want to meet Tottenham, which is not short of money.

"...Boss, I think Florentino should give up chasing Ronaldo, not because of money or fear of offending us. The most important thing is that even if Ronaldo transfers to Real Madrid, he is not his own. This is the most important point for him and Real Madrid club!"
