Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 148 From now on, I will be a boss with no feelings
This wave of guests was not only expected by Chen Ran, but also the last person he wanted to see now.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm Roberto Fernandez, the sports director of FC Barcelona. Nice to meet you."

"Originally, I was planning to visit the Crystal Palace Club later, but I didn't expect that we could meet at Cesc's place earlier today. What a coincidence."

"Hehe, that's really my honor. Mr. Fernandez, it's a pleasure to meet you too."

While shaking hands with Fernandez, Chen Ran complained secretly in his heart.

Be happy, the last thing I want to see now is you guys from Barcelona.

Fernandez was still winking, or he was sure of the purpose of this trip.

So, after a few simple greetings, he took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

At this time, only Chen Ran and Cesc Fabregas were left in the room.

"Ahem, boss, what would you like to drink?"

Fabregas was a little flustered and a little embarrassed when Chen Ran forced him to meet with the Barcelona club.

"Okay. Don't come here with such nonsense, tell me, what did the people in Barcelona talk to you about?"

"Well they want to activate the buyback clause, so let me know."

Cesc Fabregas also knew about this kind of thing, and Chen Ran would know about it sooner or later, so he simply stopped hiding it.

"What do you think about yourself?"

Contrary to Cesc Fabregas' expectation, Chen Ran did not show any emotion, but just looked at himself quietly, which made Fabregas a little at a loss.

"Boss, it doesn't really matter what I think. There is a buyback clause, and the initiative is in the hands of FC Barcelona. As long as they want to activate the buyback clause, none of us can stop it."

Fabregas was a little excited and analyzed the root cause of the matter to Chen Ran.

"It's very important to me."

Chen Ran was still very calm, and just replied lightly.

"Boss, I'm sorry."

At this point, Fabregas couldn't speak anymore.

He lowered his head, not daring to look into Chen Ran's eyes.

"Actually, you want to go back to Barcelona too, don't you?"

"...Boss, I grew up in Barcelona and it has always been my dream to play for FC Barcelona. Now that I have this opportunity, I don't want to miss it."

When things got to this point, Fabregas simply poured out his thoughts.

However, he never dared to look up into Chen Ran's eyes, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

At this time, Cesc Fabregas' home was as quiet as if no one was there.

In Chen Ran's heart, there was an indescribable depression.

I would have my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon illuminates the ditch.

Whether he was in Arsenal in his previous life or in Crystal Palace in this life, Cesc Fabregas finally made the same choice.

All the efforts made by Chen Ran were completely crushed by the inertia of the wheel of history.

Perhaps, as the little fat man said, treating players simply as a special commodity is the most suitable attitude for a club owner.

After clearing up his mood, Chen Ran walked up to Fabregas and patted him on the shoulder lightly.

"It doesn't matter, Cesc, everyone has the right to pursue their dreams."

"You want to go back to Barcelona, ​​I have no objection."

"If one day, you find that you are not happy in Barcelona. Then you are welcome to come back at any time. The door of Crystal Palace is always open to you."

"Boss, don't you blame me?"

Hearing Chen Ran's words, Cesc Fabregas couldn't believe his ears.He suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Ran foolishly.

"Hehe, it's not a big deal. It's not about life and death. I believe that you will return to the Crystal Palace in the near future."

"Well, thank you boss. If I want to leave Barcelona in the future, I must return to Crystal Palace."

Fabregas nodded vigorously. He really did not expect that Chen Ran forgave himself so lightly.

Although he had not been in the Crystal Palace for a long time, Chen Ran really had nothing to say to him.

Although it was his childhood dream to choose to return to Barcelona, ​​Cesc Fabregas still felt very sorry for Chen Ran.

Now that he could get Chen Ran's forgiveness, Cesc Fabregas finally felt much better.

The reason why Chen Ran forgave Cesc Fabregas so easily was not because he was such a saint.

Rather, he knows that for a smart person, when losing something is unavoidable, the most important thing is to stop the loss in time and not lose more.

Of course, it would be best if he could find something to make up for.

After a brief chat with Cesc Fabregas, Chen Ran was not in the mood to stay any longer.

The moment he walked out of the door of Cesc Fabregas' residence, Chen Ran told himself that from now on, a player is just a special commodity.

When Chen Ran returned to the Crystal Palace Club again, he immediately called the little fat man over.

"Luiz, the Barcelona people have found Fabregas, and they decided to activate the buy-back clause. Vieira, you have to hurry up."

"What? That means Fabregas is definitely leaving Crystal Palace?"

"That's right, with the buyback clause in place, we can't prevent Cesc Fabregas from leaving. So, besides Vieira, you should contact Xavi Alonso of Liverpool."

"This way we have one more choice to prevent any accidents from Vieira."

"Ok, I see."

"Also, you send someone to keep an eye on Barcelona's sports director Fernandez. He is the person Barcelona sent to activate Fabregas's buyback contract this time."

"Er Chen, why are you staring at him? Hasn't Fabregas' matter been settled? Could it be that you suspect that he has other purposes?"

"That's right. Luiz, do you think that if you just activate Fabregas's buyback contract, you need Barcelona's sports director in charge of the transfer to do it himself?"

"Yes, the repurchase clause is mandatory. We have no way to stop it. Barcelona can send anyone to handle it. It really doesn't need Fernandez, the sports director, to come forward in person."

At this time, the little fat man also found out that something was wrong, and analyzed while rubbing his fat chin.

"It's really abnormal for this guy to appear in London. Chen, your suspicion is very reasonable. Are you worried that he has also taken a fancy to our other Crystal Palace players?"

"That's what I mean, so you explain it and keep an eye on him. I want to see what else Barcelona wants to do."

After Louis left, Chen Ran called Stephen over again.

"Stephen, this year marks the [-]th anniversary of the founding of our Crystal Palace club, and we won the first top league championship since the establishment of the club, so this celebration ceremony, you have to take care of it."

"Okay, but Chen, when do you plan to hold it? After the league is over?"

"No, put the time after the UEFA Cup final. If we can win the UEFA Cup again, with two championship trophies, the effect will be much better."

"Haha, then your task is not light. Champion of the UEFA Cup, Chen, are you sure?"

Stephen's eyes lit up when he heard it, a league championship trophy is a bit lonely.

"It shouldn't be a big problem, I'll try my best."

Chen Ran dared to say this with confidence, because among the teams that entered the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, there were no traditional giants.

"Stephen, this is our Crystal Palace's centenary celebration after all. The scale should be bigger. I think it will be held at Selhurst Park Stadium."

"Let's have a float parade first, then find some stars to come and perform, and turn the celebration into a concert, a big PARTY."

"Then invite all the celebrities who have made outstanding contributions in the history of the Crystal Palace Club, and everyone is very lively."

"By the way, first announce the list of stars we invited to perform. All fans who have purchased season tickets for this season can enter the venue for free."

"Also, you are now opening the pre-purchase activities for the season tickets for the next season. Fans who have purchased the season tickets for the next season can also enter the venue for free to watch the show."

Looking at Chen Ran, who was talking all over the place, Stephen was also speechless for a while.

This season's game is not over yet, Chen Ran is thinking about earning ticket money for next season, no wonder he is the boss.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Among the invited performers, don't forget to add the singing girl. Also, among the invited celebrities, don't forget Fan Zhiyi, who was once the captain of the Crystal Palace."

"Any more?"

Stephen looked at Chen Ran helplessly. This guy really knows how to carry private goods, and he didn't forget to stuff them inside even when he held a celebration.

"Of course there is, but it's not about the celebration."

"After the end of the season and before the start of next season, you have to arrange for Crystal Palace to go to Asia, especially China. Do you understand?"

"Go to Asia? Chen, do you mean to make money in the past like Manchester United did?"

"Ahem, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"We are going on a promotional tour to expand the influence of Crystal Palace in Asia and cultivate our fans in Asia. Understand?"

"Understood, I'll make arrangements."

"Over there in Huaguo, you can contact our old friend, Xu Yuan, the president of "Sports Weekly". They are local snakes. With their help, our trip to Huaguo will go much smoother."

"Okay, I know."

"By the way, how is the construction of our base on Huaguo Smart Island?"

"It's basically the same, now only the last part of the interior decoration has not been done."

"Notify the over there to hurry up and rush to work, and it must be done before we lead the team to Huaguo."

"At that time, we can pull all the players from Crystal Palace over to participate in the unveiling ceremony of the Crystal Palace Huaguo Youth Training Base together."

"If we do this, we will surely attract the attention of many Huaguo media at that time. Then we will take advantage of the situation and launch the selection activities for the first phase of the Crystal Palace Huaguo Youth Training Program."

"Chen, it's a good idea for you. A trip to the Crystal Palace to Huaguo can not only make money, but also help promote the youth training plan. It kills two birds with one stone."

In a Spanish restaurant in London, two people Chen Ran knew were sitting together.

"Mr. Fernandez, are you satisfied with the taste of this Spanish restaurant?"

"Haha, Mr. Mendes, the Spanish food here is very authentic, thank you for your hospitality, you can call me Roberto."

"As long as you are satisfied, Robert. You can just call me Jorge. This is an authentic Cuban cigar, would you like one?"

"No, Jorge. You must have already guessed why I came."

"Haha, Robert, since you found me, it must be for Ronaldo, right?"

"That's right. How is it? Is Ronaldo interested in moving to Barcelona?"

After drinking and eating, Fernandez didn't bother to go around with Mendes anymore.

"Robert, you don't know, Ronaldo has more than three years of contract with Crystal Palace. So, without the consent of the Crystal Palace club, he can't go anywhere."

Mendes spread his hands, this is really not something he can decide.

"You don't have to worry about it. The Crystal Palace club will naturally be handled by me. I only ask you now, is Ronaldo willing to join Barcelona?"

Because of the high status of the Barcelona club, Fernandez has gradually developed a condescending negotiating attitude in the face of these player agents since he became the sports director of Barcelona, ​​which made Mendes feel a little uncomfortable.

"Well, Robert, the matter came a bit suddenly, and I need to go back and ask Ronaldo for his opinion."

Although he was upset, the old and cunning Mendes kept his composure and played the trick of procrastination.

"Then go back and discuss it with Ronaldo and give me an answer as soon as possible. My time in London is very limited."

"Okay, I will go to Ronaldo in a while and call you back tomorrow."

When Mendes and Fernandez met, the little fat man also called Chen Ran.

"Chen, I just got the latest news, that Fernandez and Mendes met at a Spanish restaurant."

"Mendez? Fxxxk! It seems that Fernandez's goal is Ronaldo."

"That's probably it. Chen, what should we do now?"

"Continue to keep an eye on Fernandez to see if they continue to contact. If you find that they continue to contact, please notify me immediately."

"understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ran pinched his brows.

Headache.

The attractiveness of Barcelona is not comparable to that of Chelsea now.

The current Chelsea, apart from having a rich boss, actually has nothing to show for it.

Unlike giant clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid, which have their own attractive aura.

Chen Ran, who was just an ordinary fan in his previous life, didn't think about the stalks of the emperor's dream and the Barcelona dream.

Now, he hated it deeply.

No, you can no longer be so passive defensive, you must take the initiative to attack.

So, Chen Ran picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number.
