This was the first time Qin Xiong had brought his son back to China. Naturally, the football circle did not pay much attention to it. However, as a superstar, the entertainment circle was also very interested in Qin Xiong's son.
He accepted an exclusive interview with CCTV before joining the national team, mainly talking about what happened in Real Madrid in the past season. Naturally, he did not mention the secrets of the locker room. Instead, he made some personal opinions on the team's construction and future development.
As for his thoughts after Florentino regained control of Real Madrid, Qin Xiong gave a formulaic response.
He could see that in the eyes of many China fans and media, Florentino's return was very shocking and good news.
Because it would definitely make Real Madrid shine even more, and Qin Xiong would be in a team of superstars. There was no doubt that he would be the focus of the world football for a long time.
Qin Xiong did not think too much about it for the time being. He knew that the development of the situation he was waiting for would soon surface.
On the day Florentino announced his ascension to the throne, Real Madrid completed the change of manager. Bosque took the initiative to resign and left with dignity. Then he announced that he would become the manager of the Spanish national team. The meritorious manager, Aragonés, retired with success.
Pellegrini, who had coached Villarreal for the past few years with good results, became the new manager of Real Madrid.
Qin Xiong concentrated on the national team's preparation for the game against the United Arab Emirates. At the same time, there would be a game between the North Korean team and the South Korean team. If everything went well, after this game, the China team could lock in the second place in the group ahead of time and smoothly qualify for the World Cup in South Africa.
Just one day before the game between the China team and the United Arab Emirates team, Real Madrid's big move in the transfer market officially broke out!
Kaka joined Real Madrid!
The day after the China team defeated the United Arab Emirates by 3: 0, another seismic transfer news shook the world.
Ronaldo joined Real Madrid for 80 million pounds!
Less than half a month after Florentino's return, the fans of the entire European football world and Real Madrid went crazy!
On the flight to South Korea, Qin Xiong sat alone in the first-class seat by the window. Freddy and him were separated by an aisle.
Recently, Qin Xiong had a lot of personal and business affairs, which required Freddy to communicate with Qin Xiong frequently. The China National Team allowed Freddy to accompany the team, which was a privilege of Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong raised his head and closed his eyes to rest. He thought about what had happened in Real Madrid in the past two weeks.
At the same time, he was thinking about Florentino.
Freddy told him a lot about Florentino, including his judgment of his future Real Madrid career.
If he wanted to make money, staying in Real Madrid was the wisest choice.
If he wanted to pursue competitive achievements, he had to combine it with Qin Xiong's personal judgment.
Qin Xiong could not help but mutter Florentino's name.
You could admire him, you could hate him, but you could not help but admire him.
Florentino, this was a name that could always make the impossible possible.
In the summer of 2000, Florentino, who was just a junior in the football circle, became famous. He poached Figo from the Camp Nou to the Bernabéu. Considering the hostile relationship between Barça and Real Madrid, and Figo's status as Barça's captain, the record of 60 million euros, which set the world's most valuable record, was not so eye-catching.
Florentino's biggest impact on the football world was that he ran the club the way he ran a business. He believed that good could bring better, and more could bring more.
During Florentino's reign, Real Madrid was the trust in the football market. As long as he was interested in a star player, he would definitely become a member of Real Madrid.
In the summer of 2001, just because of a napkin with the words "Would you like to play for Real Madrid?" On it, Florentino captured Zidane. The Frenchman's value reached 73.5 million euros, which set a world record again.
Speaking of this transaction, Florentino was still proud of it, "Everyone said that I bought him too much, but in my opinion, he is the cheapest player I've ever bought."
Calderón chased Kaka for two and a half years, but in return, he only got one sentence from Galliani. "Even if you cut off my arm, I will not sell Kaka to him."
And Florentino?
He officially became the president in the early morning of June 1, and Kaka officially transferred to Real Madrid in the early morning of June 9, with a value of 65 million euros.
In just a week, Florentino completed this seemingly impossible task, and his words of gratitude to Galliani made Calderón look so stupid.
They were both Real Madrid's presidents, and they had the same financial resources in their hands. Why was the gap so big?
Two days ago, people were still regretting that Kaka's value of 65 million euros could not break the world record set by Zidane. But soon, Florentino offered an even more amazing move. 94 million euros, the new number one player in the world of football was born.
Indeed, the transfer could be achieved thanks to Calderón. It was the former president who signed a contract with Manchester United as early as last summer.
However, it was also admirable that Florentino had the courage to carry out this contract. One had to know that in today's global economy, taking out one hundred million Euros to buy a player was no longer something that could be described as "generous".
According to Marca's revelations, Florentino also hesitated because in his view, Kaka was the player who met Real Madrid's requirements most in terms of technical and tactical ability and image. Although Cristiano Ronaldo was also very good, there was no reason for his value to be higher than Kaka's, and almost half higher.
The president had hoped to negotiate with Manchester United to modify the contract and reduce the transfer fee. But after the proposal was rejected, Florentino made the decision to pay the transfer fee in full to maintain Real Madrid's image of being true to their word.
Now, in the ranking of the world's football players, the top four were all Florentino's work.
Figo, Kaka, Zidane, and Cristiano Ronaldo together had a total value of 292.5 million euros. According to the current exchange rate, it was about 492.5 million US dollars. What kind of concept was that?
At present, the world's most luxurious aircraft, the Airbus A380, was priced at only 300 million US dollars. General Motors' Hummer was priced at only 500 million US dollars.
It successfully boosted the Real Madrid fans' lost confidence and brought about a crazy effect in the transfer market. It allowed Real Madrid to have three of the world's top five best star players!
Qin Xiong, Kaka, and Ronaldo.
The outside world did not even have to look at the other players in Real Madrid. They could already imagine how wonderful such a lineup was!
In the eyes of many Real Madrid fans, Florentino was not human. He was a white miracle!
