Entering January also meant the opening of the winter transfer window.
The window had just opened, and Real Madrid had already signed four players.
Gago, Higuain, Marcelo, and De Jong together cost a total of 47 million Euros.
On the morning of January 1st, Real Madrid had just announced the few new signings, and in the afternoon, Huang Kaiwen received a call from Calderon.
"Kevin, the negotiations with Porto are still ongoing, so we've only brought in De Jong for now,"
said Calderon on the other end of the phone.
"Mr. President, I understand, there's no issue,"
Huang Kaiwen replied.
"Ramon, call me Ramon!"
"Alright, Ramon."
"By the way, Kevin, can you attend the presentation ceremony for these players?"
asked Calderon.
"I'll check my schedule, but I'll definitely go if I'm free."
After saying this, Huang Kaiwen hung up the phone.
He did have the time.
But Huang Kaiwen really didn't want to attend the presentation ceremony.
