Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 153 Money ability, you can't accept it

Chen Ran and Crystal Palace are thinking about how to introduce Vieira from Arsenal, but more people are staring at the main players of Crystal Palace.

Fortunately, those private detectives who were assigned by Chen Ran early on have played a key role now.

Photos of his own players and agents interacting with other club staff were constantly placed on Chen Ran's desk by Louis.

"Chen, the situation is very serious. Almost all the main players of our Crystal Palace have contact with the transfer personnel of other clubs."

The little fat man worriedly identified the identities and backgrounds of the people in the photos to Chen Ran one by one.

"The person who had dinner with Tony and his agent is from the Bayern Munich club in Germany."

"The guy who had coffee with Chiellini and his agent was from the Italian club Juventus."

"The person who had dinner with Ribery and his agent is from the Italian club AC Milan."

"The guy who was drinking coffee with Vidic and his agent is from the Spanish club Real Madrid."

Following the little fat man's introduction, Chen Ran's complexion became darker and darker.

Temiao's group of wolves are all eyeing their own Crystal Palace, right? They are all traditional giants.

What is this for?Bully newcomers?
"Huh? Why are there no photos of English clubs? Don't they want to introduce our players?"

Chen Ran suddenly noticed something strange, and looked at the little fat man curiously.

"Ahem, it's not that there are none, but too many, I can't move them."

After that, he picked up his mobile phone and made a call: "You guys send the things over here."

Soon, two staff members of the Crystal Palace Club came in carrying a cardboard box.

With a sound of "stab", the little fat man tore off the seal, and a large box full of photos immediately appeared in front of Chen Ran.

Looking at the familiar faces in the photo, the corners of Chen Ran's mouth twitched slightly.

Sure enough, it's more suitable for me to be a boss who doesn't have feelings.

"Who has the most contact with outside clubs?"

Chen Ran's voice seemed to have ice attribute damage attached, making the fat man shiver from the cold.

"Cronaldo had the most contacts. However, after each contact, Mendes reported to me."

"Mendez?"

Chen Ran was taken aback for a moment, this guy had a good time.

Not only did I meet the people I met, but I didn't offend myself too much.

As expected of a tycoon who can become the world's top broker in the future, he is old and cunning.

"Chen, what should we do now? The situation is more serious than we imagined before. Almost all the top giants are eyeing us, and few people can resist their temptation."

The little fat man looked at Chen Ran expectantly, hoping that his resourceful friend would come up with a solution.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, the contracts between us and these main players are still early, and the initiative is in our hands. As long as we don't want to sell, no one can buy it."

"In addition, inform Stephen that the contract renewal negotiations with these players must be hastened. The longer the time is delayed, the more troubles will arise."

"If anyone is unwilling to renew the contract, let me know immediately. Either pay a large transfer fee and leave, or be prepared to sit on the bench."

Chen Ran calmly explained various matters to Louis one by one, without emotion.

London, Ronaldo residence.

Although it was already night, Mendes still excitedly introduced Ronaldo to every club that came to contact him.

In this regard, Ronaldo is also a little speechless.

"Jorge, since you know that the boss will not let me transfer, why do you still have to meet so many people from the club. If you do this, the boss must be very unhappy."

"Haha, no. Every time we contact a club, I have reported to the sports manager Luiz of Crystal Palace."

"What? How could you do that? It's over now. That fat man is the boss' confidant. The boss must know by now that we have met so many people from clubs."

"It's okay. I did this to tell Chen Ran that we didn't hide anything from him. I believe that with his heart, he won't take this matter to heart."

Mendes explained his intentions to Ronaldo with confidence.

"Even if the boss doesn't mind, I don't think we should see people from those clubs anymore. Anyway, we can't talk about any results. Don't you bother to say the same things every time?"

"Of course not. Chris, don't underestimate these people. They are all powerful figures in major clubs. Although you can't transfer now, after accumulating these contacts, you may be able to use them in the future."

"Also, the more people who come to contact us, the more bargaining chips we will have when negotiating a contract extension with Crystal Palace. Do you understand?"

It has to be said that Mendes deserves to be the top agent in the future. This guy has racked his brains to get money out of Chen Ran's pocket.

If it wasn't for Ronaldo, Chen Ran would have let him know why peach blossoms are so popular.

Chen Ran and Wenger met again at a French restaurant in London.

Looking at the energetic Chen Ran in front of him, Wenger also had mixed feelings in his heart.

When he and Chen Ran met for the first time, Chen Ran was still a young boy who had just broken into English football.

But in just two years, this fluffy boy has become the most popular champion coach now.

Times have changed, things have changed, and Wenger can't help but wonder if he is getting old.

"Mr. Wenger, I heard that Arsenal Club is planning to sell Patrick Vieira. Is this news accurate?"

While cutting the steak, Chen Ran asked straight to the point.

"That's right. Isn't that why you came to see me today?"

Wenger took a sip of the wine, without any anxiety on his face, and said unhurriedly.

"Then how much do you price Vieira?"

"4000 euros."

Hearing the price, Chen Ran immediately stopped what he was doing.Frowning, he looked at Wenger unhappily.

"Mr. Wenger, our Crystal Palace is very sincere in introducing Vieira. I hope you will not joke about this matter."

"I'm not kidding. Our goal at Arsenal is to sell Vieira for 4000 million euros."

"Mr. Wenger, as I said bluntly, if you insist on a price of 4000 million euros, then our Crystal Palace can only give up."

"Haha, Mr. Chen, don't be so anxious. Let me tell you a piece of news. Just today, the Italian club Juventus also sent an offer for Vieira. Although I can't tell you the specific price, this is what we can do. Shout out the price of 4000 million euros."

"Hehe, I don't believe that Juventus would be so stupid to offer 4000 million euros. In the style of their general manager Moggi, it is not bad to offer 1000 million euros."

"Juventus' first offer cannot be as high as 4000 million euros, but I believe their final offer will not be too far apart."

Wenger was still drinking wine in a leisurely manner. Although Juventus' offer was not high, it gave him the confidence to fight Chen Ran for a long time.

"Mr. Wenger, our offer from Crystal Palace to Vieira is 1500 million euros. You can think about it."

"Mr. Chen, 1500 million euros is too low. It is absolutely impossible for us Arsenal to sell our captain at such a low price."

Wenger shook his head slightly and directly rejected Chen Ran's offer.

"Mr. Wenger, as far as I know, because of the drag of the new stadium, the Arsenal club is currently in a tight financial situation and needs a lot of cash to fill the loophole. In addition, Vieira's contract is about to expire, and you have to sell him to cash out .”

"I believe that I am not the only one who can see this. Therefore, you and the Arsenal club will definitely not receive an offer of 4000 million euros. Half of it is already very good."

While attacking Arsenal's weakness, Chen Ran continued to eat the steak, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

Hearing that Chen Ran put Arsenal's predicament directly on the table, Wenger's face darkened.

This little guy from Huaguo is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

He sees Arsenal's current problems clearly, and it will not be easy to fool around next.

"Hehe, because of the problem of the new stadium, Arsenal does need to control some unnecessary expenses now, but it has not reached such a serious level."

"So, it is absolutely impossible to take Patrick away for 1500 million euros. Mr. Chen, I think you should quote a more sincere price?"

Wenger was unmoved, as if the Arsenal club was really not short of money.

"Well, regardless of whether Arsenal is really not short of money, I will make another final offer, 2000 million euros."

"If Mr. Wenger is acceptable, I can introduce you to Arsenal another business that can bring in an annual income of 300 million euros."

While raising the quotation, Chen Ran threw out his trump card.

He believes that the current annual income of 300 million euros is tantamount to a timely rain for the Arsenal club, which is desperate for cash.

Sure enough, Wenger's eyes lit up instantly when he heard Chen Ran mention his annual income of 300 million euros.

Although Wenger quickly controlled his expression, Chen Ran, who was staring at Wenger closely, saw all of this.

At this moment, Chen Ran knew that his plan directly hit the Achilles' heel of the Arsenal club.

For 2000 million euros, Vieira will definitely be won.

He will not add a penny.

So, in the following time, no matter what Wenger said, Chen Ran concentrated on eating his dinner.

He firmly insisted that 2000 million euros is the final offer from Crystal Palace. If Wenger does not accept this price before the dinner is over, those Crystal Palace's work on the introduction of Vieira will come to an end.

Looking at Chen Ran, who was devoid of oil and salt, and focused on dealing with the steak, Wenger was full of helplessness.

This Hua country boy is so old and spicy at such a young age, he is simply a devil.

After releasing the bait, he has been waiting patiently, despite the wind and waves, he just concentrates on cooking.

Today's young people are really incredible.

In the end, when Chen Ran was full and ready to ask the waiter to pay the bill, Wenger had to give in.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, you win. For 2000 million euros, you can take Patrick away."

"Now, you can talk about the annual income of 300 million euros, what kind of business is it?"

"Haha, Mr. Wenger, it's actually very simple. We, Crystal Palace, also want to build our own new stadium. So during the construction of the stadium, we want to rent Arsenal's Highbury Stadium."

"What? Your Crystal Palace is also building a new stadium?"

Wenger looked at Chen Ran in surprise, and couldn't believe his ears.

You must know that even for the old strong team Arsenal, it took a long time to make a decision to build a new stadium after repeated discussions, which seriously dragged down the club's business situation.

And Crystal Palace, a small team that has been in the low-level leagues all the year round, even casually proposed to build a new stadium.

This made Wenger feel unacceptable for a while.

"Mr. Chen, do you know how much it will cost to build a new stadium?"

"I know. We have already consulted a professional organization to calculate it, and it will cost more than 3 million euros. I have also negotiated a bank loan, and now we are waiting to start construction."

"Can the bank be willing to lend more than 3 million euros to Crystal Palace?"

Upon hearing the amount of the loan, Wenger immediately had serious doubts.

Wenger has personally experienced how difficult Arsenal's loan is and how harsh the conditions are. He does not believe that any bank will provide so many loans to the small club Crystal Palace.

"Not that much, I paid [-] million euros myself, and the rest is the loan."

Chen Ran said lightly, as if what he was talking about was not [-] million euros, but [-] euros.

Now Wenger is completely convinced, money ability, you can't accept it.

"Well, I agree with your idea of ​​renting the Highbury Stadium in principle. However, this matter still needs to be approved by the board of directors. I hope Mr. Chen can understand."

"Understood. For the rest, you can contact Crystal Palace's sports manager Louis. Mr. Wenger, I wish us a happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

Wenger smiled wryly and shook hands with Chen Ran. He, an old Jianghu, never took advantage of this little guy from Huaguo from the beginning to the end.

It seems that disobedience is old.

After Vieira's transfer was settled, Chen Ran devoted his energy to the contract renewal negotiations with the Crystal Palace players.

Although he does not participate in specific negotiations, Stephen and Louis will report to him on the progress of the negotiations every day.

According to Chen Ran's promise at the beginning, this time a large-scale salary increase and contract renewal, the smallest increase will at least be doubled.

And for those who performed particularly well like Ronaldo, the increase was even more astonishing.

In particular, Ronaldo also has a powerful agent Mendes, which made the contract renewal negotiations anxious from the very beginning.

"Chen, that Mendes is really a lion. Ronaldo has just turned 20 years old, and the annual salary of 500 million euros we offered is already very sincere. He is still not satisfied. It is too much."
