"Oh, what did Abu really say? It seems we are going to get rich." Jose laughed: "But if this guy waved his checkbook to poach people, it would be a bit of a headache."

Alemani shrugged: "There is no way, building a stadium involves too much financial resources... I looked at the financial statements. The total salary of the teams that can play in the Champions League in the four major leagues is at least fifty percentage points higher than that of us. If we achieve good results and don't give players enough salary, the players will probably want to leave."

"I know this." Jose nodded and said, "Dad, how much cash has been invested in the stadium now? How much more is it necessary to invest?"

"From the current situation, 200 million euros have been invested, and basically your account is almost empty... You will need to invest one year next year, at least 50 million euros." Alemani replied.

"It's so much." Jose sighed, but if it can be done with 250 million yuan, it's still acceptable. Even if the budget is a little loose, it's not impossible to reach 300 million euros. You should know that Arsenal spent almost 500 million euros intermittently to restore the Emirates Stadium, and finally gave up the naming rights of the stadium to finally be completed. It is also because the land here in Mallorca is not as valuable as the northwest district of London, so Jose can do more with less money.

In fact, it is almost enough to build the stadium with 150 million euros, but Jose wants to be in place at one time. It is not that you can buy it in the future if you want to buy it. It is more important to reserve the expansion location in advance or be in place at one time. In addition to the stadium itself, there are so many ancillary facilities, which is really a lot of money. What's more, Jose also pays attention to environmental protection and transplanting various trees around the stadium will invisibly increase investment.

However, although Jose made this decision after chatting with Karin, he did not just to please Karin. Building a stadium is the top priority for a club. If it is not done well, it may make a club fall into a slump. Naturally, he would not be confused to this point. However, the chat with Karin reminded Jose that if the greening around the entire stadium is done well, it will naturally attract more tourists and locals. Perhaps in the future, a residential area of ​​a community will be formed here, and the economic benefits that the stadium can create will naturally be greater!

"My account is empty, but the club's account should not be empty." Jose said with a smile. His property is now divided into two parts. One is the account he had previously deposited nearly 200 million US dollars, and the other is the club's cash account. The previous acquisition of shares in the Asensio family was the money paid by Jose's own account, and the next acquisition of shares in Grande was cash withdrawn directly from the club's account, so Jose asked this question.

"The club's finances are now very abundant. The income from the transfer market last summer was basically not used much. The money spent on your account is paid for in building the stadium. But to be honest, with the current size of the club, it would be impossible to do without 20 to 30 million in cash." Alemani said.

Then he reminded Jose: "Son, now your property is basically the Mallorca Club... I have not interfered with you before, but in fact, it is a pity that the cash you had in your previous account was just earning interest. At that time, you should use it for some investment. A businessman should never put eggs in a basket."

Jose shrugged. In fact, Old Alemani had advised his son before, it would be a pity to put such a large sum of money in the bank. He could do whatever investment he could. However, Jose himself had his own pain. The start-up capital was only 200 million yuan. He dared not continue to invest. He didn't even dare to invest in Google, which is a must-win investment, let alone other small investments...

So he can only be careless now: "Actually, I had the idea of ​​acquiring Mallorca, so I couldn't spend it randomly before. I must ensure that I had sufficient funds on hand. After the acquisition of Mallorca was successful, I also began to prepare for the construction of the stadium. This is a century-long plan for a club, and I need to ensure sufficient funds, so I didn't take risks in investing."

This reason is reasonable, so Alemani nodded and did not continue to get involved in this matter.

"But Dad, the question you mentioned makes sense. Always give players low wages, they can't keep players... Now our income is able to bear relatively large expenses when the Champions League has enough profits. What's more, the subsequent negotiation of league broadcast fees and the increased income after the construction of the stadium can make our annual income more. So after the end of this season, we need to provide players with no lower salary than other teams, so that they can retain good players - it may take three years to train a top player, but it may only take one day for him to leave."

"If we had profits in the transfer market last season, the total profit was 30 million euros. Such profits were enough to increase the salary level of players by a higher level. Now our total salary is only 50 million euros, and there are more foreign players in our team. According to the Beckham Act, we have to pay less tax when paying their wages. As long as we can maintain such profits, there will be no problem." Alemani said after thinking about it.

Jose shook his head: "The profit of last season can only be used as a reference. You should know that we won twelve consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage last season, and we won a lot of more victories alone. This situation is hard to come by, but in fact our profits will not be worse than last season. At least next season, we cannot only get a league broadcast fee of only 6 million euros."

"I heard the news that the Balearic Parliament is now preparing to discuss a proposal for the increase in the cost of broadcasting on our league in Mallorca." Alemani said with a smile.

"Then, toast to the increase in our income next season." Jose raised his cup with a laugh. He was not worried that the Balearic Parliament would not agree to the proposal to increase the broadcast fee. If he did this, he would drive Mallorca to the contract with foreign TV stations. Although Mallorca would suffer a little, but the face was damaged. After all, it was the thriving Balearic Islands. Mallorca signed a contract with foreign TV stations may be hindered, but the money would definitely not be taken less. As long as you have money, there would be no major problems in the operation of a club.

***************************************

After Mallorca's difficult home victory over Chelsea and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League for two consecutive years, the scene where Mallorca and Real Madrid, who had hope for Spanish fans, met in the semi-finals of the Champions League, became a bubble. Real Madrid lost to Monaco 1-3 away, and tied the two-round total score, but were eliminated because of one less away goals, and missed the semi-finals for the first time in five years!

In Jose's view, Real Madrid's exit was completely self-defeated. After leading four to two at home in the first round, Real Madrid believed that the overall situation had been decided, so Beckham, who would be suspended from the game with another yellow card, took the initiative to apply for a yellow card to welcome the next semi-finals with a clean body. As a result, Real Madrid's midfield running ability, which was missing Beckham, decreased a lot in the away game, and was completely suppressed by Monaco. At the same time, they failed to show their fighting spirit when they were behind one to three, even if they only needed one ball to push their opponents down the abyss...

Morientes, who was loaned to Monaco by Real Madrid, performed well. He scored a goal and assisted. He was the number one hero in Monaco's victory in this game. In order to ensure the position of Ronaldo and Raul, Morientes was loaned out, and Real Madrid swallowed his own bitter fruit.

At this point, the only game that Real Madrid can still compete for is the league championship.

Jose will never make such a mistake, and the lion will try his best to fight against the rabbit. Real Madrid is undoubtedly too careless.

Compared with Real Madrid, another traditional strong team, AC Milan, had no reason to lose. They were slaughtered by La Coruna four-to-zero away. In this game, La Coruna performed perfectly. The offensive combination in the frontcourt teared open AC Milan's defense again and again, while the defense continued to block AC Milan's attack. Tristan, Berellon and Luke scored three goals for La Coruna in the first half, completely defeating AC Milan. The old captain Fran, who came on the bench in the second half, set the score at four-to-zero. La Coruna completed the greatest reversal in the last two rounds of the Champions League knockout match. A few days ago, it was called the fantasy Milan in the Saki era and the legend of Capello era Milan another great Milan era - Perfect Milan hit it and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League!

In another semi-final, Porto drew Lyon 1-1 away, occupying the last place in the semi-finals.

Since then, all four of the Champions League semi-finals will be Mallorca vs Monaco and Porto vs. La Coruña. Two of the La Liga teams will play away first and then home.

The first match will be held in two weeks - Mallorca will go to Monaco for the second time this season, but the last time was the European Super Cup and this time it was the semi-finals of the Champions League...

"You can't relax in the next two league games... You can't play against Betis away and Villarreal at home. These two opponents are not easy to deal with..." Jose thought to himself.

On April 11, La Liga ushered in the 32nd round of the league.

In this game, Jose only fine-tuned the starting lineup, such as letting Nadal rest and replacing the two main full-backs with Romero and Campano. Iniesta started, while the others still played as the main players. In this game, Mallorca's players did not play very well due to fatigue, but they still won the ball - Etoo scored a penalty in the first half, and Torres, who came on the bench in the second half, scored Mallorca's second goal. In the end, Mallorca defeated Real Betis 2-1 away, increasing his points to 68 points!

Real Madrid, which suffered serious setbacks in the Champions League, seemed to have not recovered yet. They lost at the mid-range team Osasuna at an unexpected 0-3 at home, and gave up the top spot. Mallorca jumped to the top spot with one point advantage!

Even Valencia also won this round, tying Real Madrid's points with 67 points!

"Mallorca is heading towards their best condition, Valencia is coming from behind, and at this time, Real Madrid began to show a downturn, which is quite bad for them!"
