Inter chairman Jindong Zhang may have witnessed a disappointing draw against Slavia Prague in the Champions League earlier this week, but the Chinese businessman still left the stadium feeling positive, writes Milano based newspaper la Gazzetta dello Sport.
The report details how Zhang watched the game with his son, Inter President Steven Zhang, and a fellow Chinese businessman, Xu Jiayin, who owns Evergrande, the largest real estate and construction company in the world.
Zhang used the game as an opportunity to talk business with Xu Jiayin, with the Inter chairman hoping that his company, Suning, can become the European gateway for large Chinese companies.
The business discussions reportedly revolved around expanding the ‘Made in Italy’ market in China and helping other large Chinese companies expand into the European market.
Suning are a huge company, earning an estimated €24.1 billion in revenue in the first six months of 2019, over 12,000 stores and over 200,000 employees.
