Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 157 They are also engaged in football, why is the gap so big?
"What's more, until the end of the stadium naming rights, Emirates will be the sole sponsor of the Crystal Palace Club in the aviation field. If the Crystal Palace Club needs to travel by plane, it must take the Emirates flight."

"Hey, these Emiratis really have the best use of everything. So what if there is no Emirates flight where we are going?"

"They have also thought of this. They will take out a special plane and paint the logo of the Crystal Palace Club on the fuselage of the plane. They usually perform normal flight missions, and when we need it, we will use it as our charter plane."

"These Emiratis are really thoughtful."

"Then we need our players to cooperate with Emirates to shoot a promotional video."

"Ok, Ok."

"and also."

All kinds of things, Emirates Airline put forward nearly [-] requests in total.

Although it wasn't a big deal, it still annoyed Chen Ran enough.Grabbing Stephen's hand and lamenting, money is not easy to earn these days.

Stephen didn't bother to talk to someone like Chen Ran who was cheap and good-looking, and just walked away.

As long as the money problem is solved, the rest is trivial.

Crystal Palace and the Emirates, who have reached an agreement, will soon prepare to host a grand signing ceremony.

The reporters from all walks of life who received the invitation immediately started talking about it.

Crystal Palace held a press conference not long ago, so why is there another signing ceremony so soon?

Looking at the introduction on the invitation letter, it was the signing ceremony jointly held by the Crystal Palace Club and Emirates Airlines.

For many experienced journalists, it was immediately guessed that this was probably the signing ceremony held by the Emirates sponsorship Crystal Palace.

However, this kind of sponsorship is commonplace for many big clubs. As for such a big battle?

The reporters also have their own small circle. After getting to know each other, they discovered that the invitation letter issued by the Crystal Palace Club this time is not just for sports reporters.

What social line, financial line, as long as it is a reporter from a major newspaper, almost everyone has received an invitation letter.

Looking at the beautifully crafted invitation letter in their hands, the reporters all speculated that the signing ceremony this time must not be easy.

That Chinese man might make another explosive news.

The signing ceremony was arranged at the Four Seasons Hotel in London. On the day of the ceremony, the banquet hall of the entire Four Seasons Hotel was very lively. Almost all the well-known journalists in England appeared here.

When Stephen announced that Crystal Palace and Emirates had a package sponsorship contract with a total amount of 5000 million euros, the entire banquet hall of the Four Seasons Hotel immediately exploded.

"OMG!"

"Did I hear it wrong?"

"Did the CEO of Crystal Palace just say 5000 million euros?"

"Isn't this the biggest sponsorship deal in football history?"

"Yes, and it will be difficult to be surpassed in the future."

"Emirates is really rich."

"Not only rich, but also not very good-minded."

"Crystal Palace has caught a fat sheep."

"Now that Chinese man has made a lot of money."

"That's right, I guess he won't even have to spend the money to build a new stadium this time."

"It's not just that there is no need to pay, the Chinese can still make money. The construction cost of the new Crystal Palace stadium will not exceed [-] million euros."

"Tsk tsk, that Chinese guy is really good at it. The stadium hasn't started construction yet, and someone sent money with just a few blueprints."

Looking at the noisy scene below, Chen Ran didn't show any displeasure, and he chatted relaxedly with the big benefactor beside him, the chairman of Emirates Airlines, Clark.

The purpose of his coming today is to throw another shock bomb.

Taking advantage of the fact that the influence of the two incidents of poaching Captain Vieira from Arsenal last time and the construction of the new stadium Crystal Palace had not completely faded, Chen Ran was going to add another fire.

Let the influence of the Crystal Palace Club spread rapidly from the small British Isles to the whole world.From the small football circle and sports circle, it quickly spread to all circles.

All in all, it is a sentence: You may not be a fan of Crystal Palace, but you have at least heard of the name of the club Crystal Palace.

This is why Chen Ran must spend tens of millions of euros more to build the new stadium of Crystal Palace.

Because, as long as the Crystal Palace, the world's first palace-style football stadium, is built, it will be like a radiation source, spreading the influence of the Crystal Palace in all directions 24 hours a day.

Finally, the reporters below fell silent, and the signing ceremony continued.

Stephen represented the Crystal Palace Club and signed the contract with the CEO of Emirates Airline.

At this moment, no matter if it was true or false, everyone present gave warm applause.

Soon, the long-awaited questioning session of the reporters finally began.

All the questions were aimed at Chen Ran.

"Excuse me, Mr. Chen, can you introduce how you got Emirates to sign the biggest super contract in history?"

The reporter who asked the question first couldn't wait to ask the question that everyone was most eager to get the answer to.

"First of all I would like to thank Emirates for their confidence in Crystal Palace Club."

As Chen Ran spoke, he smiled and greeted Clark, the chairman of Emirates Airlines, who was beside him.

"Crystal Palace, as a fast-rising emerging giant club, everyone can see its rising momentum. I think this is one of the important reasons why Crystal Palace can attract Emirates."

"Emirates is committed to becoming the world's top airline; and Crystal Palace also hopes to become the world's top football club. I think such similar goals are another important reason why our two companies can reach a cooperation agreement. "

"Mr. Chen, the total amount of the agreement reached by Crystal Palace and Emirates has already surpassed all the sponsorship contracts of old clubs such as Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. Do you think that the current Crystal Palace club is worthy of this contract?"

Let me go, this guy is here to mess things up, right?
Chen Ran glanced at the reporter who asked the question unhappily, remembering his appearance.

Fortunately, in the past two years, Chen Ran has been fighting wits and courage with English media reporters for a long time, and he has already developed the ability to deal with the media.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter whether you deserve it or not. It doesn't matter what you and I think. If the person who pays thinks it's worthy, then he deserves it."

"Another point is, people, you have to take a long-term view."

"Crystal Palace and Emirates are long-term cooperation. In my first season in charge of Crystal Palace, I won the Champions League and the League Cup; in the second season, I won the Premier League and the UEFA Cup. .”

"Mr. reporter, can you name another team that won so many championships from a secondary league team in just two seasons?"

"Nottingham Forest won the European Cup."

Not to be outdone, the reporter retorted.

"Hehe, it seems that your understanding is not very good. What I'm talking about is within two seasons, and it's already the third season for Nottingham Forest to win the European Champions Cup."

"But Nottingham Forest finally won the European Champions Cup, and it was two consecutive times. This is far from comparable to your UEFA Cup."

The reporter became a little annoyed, and stuck his neck to forcefully argue.

"Haha, Mr. reporter, I have only been in charge of Crystal Palace for two seasons. How do you know that Crystal Palace will not win the European Champions Cup in the future?"

After all, Chen Ran ignored the reporter and turned to look at Clark, the chairman of Emirates Airlines.

"Mr. Clark, do you think Crystal Palace will be able to win the European Champions Cup in the future?"

"Of course, I'm very confident about it. Otherwise, Emirates wouldn't be sponsoring Crystal Palace."

Clark is also an old man. Although he didn't rehearse in advance, he cooperated with Chen Ran seamlessly.

"Haha, thank you Mr. Clark for your trust. For this trust, when we renew our contract in the future, I will give Emirates Airlines a preferential price."

"Really? That would be great. It's a deal."

After the signing ceremony, the sponsorship contract between Crystal Palace and Emirates immediately grabbed the front pages of all media.

"The largest sponsorship contract in football history was born, with a total amount of 5000 million euros!"

"Crystal Palace received a sky-high sponsorship contract, and the new stadium has earned it back before construction begins."

"Crystal Palace surpassed traditional giants such as Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool, and became the club with the highest commercial value in the Premier League in one fell swoop."

"A newly-emerging wealthy club is slowly rising."

"After the introduction of Vieira and the construction of a new stadium, the Chinese man made another amazing move."

"With the blessing of sky-high sponsorship contracts, the rise of the Crystal Palace Club is already unstoppable."

Thousands of miles away in China, the fans of Crystal Palace were also shocked by the news of this sky-high sponsorship contract.

"I'll go, this guy Chen Ran has issued it now. 5000 million 50 million euros, wouldn't it be more than [-] billion when converted into domestic currency?"

"Fuck, I don't even have more than 50 yuan."

"Oh my god, does running a football club make so much money?"

"Bring it down. Did you watch the game on the first day? Don't you know that the majority of football clubs in the world are losing money?"

"Then the contrast is too big, isn't it?"

"I can't help it. Who told us Chen Ran to be awesome. He brought the Crystal Palace to prosperity, so he can attract the oil tycoon."

"That's right. The oil tycoon is not stupid. The current rise of Crystal Palace can be understood by everyone. He is investing in the future, understand?"

"However, this guy Chen Ran is ruthless enough to attack, and the price is more than 50 billion."

"Look at the Crystal Palace, and then look at our domestic clubs. They are also engaged in football. Why is there such a big gap?"

"Forget it, it is also called a professional club in China? But, have you heard? Crystal Palace will come to China for a friendly match after a while."

"I heard that some time ago, the "Sports Weekly" published an advertisement for public bidding."

"Is there any follow-up news?"

"Yes. I heard that there will be a friendly match between Shencheng and Shencheng Zhihua."

"Ah? Why Shencheng?"

"I heard it was to attend the unveiling ceremony of Crystal Palace's youth training base on Smart Island."

"Huh? Has the youth training base been built yet?"

"It's been built. I've been rushing to work a while ago, probably to match the domestic schedule of the Crystal Palace Club."

"Then I will fly to Shencheng to watch the Crystal Palace game, and then I will visit the youth training base of Smart Island. Are you interested? Let's go together."

"That's a good idea, count me in."

"And me, then we can form a group to go to Smart Island together."

"That's right, add me too."

"And I."

London, Chelsea FC, Peter Kenyon office.

Looking at Mourinho, who was very rarely showing depression in front of him, Peter Kenyon still persuaded him.

"Jose, let's forget it. Haven't you read the news these two days? That Huaguo has won a sky-high sponsorship contract of 5000 million euros. The Crystal Palace is not short of money. Let's start with a different target."

Mourinho's face has obvious dark circles, which is obviously a serious lack of sleep recently.

Hearing Peter Kenyon's voice, Mourinho looked up at the other party.After hesitating for a long time, he finally nodded.

Seeing that Mourinho finally got out of the horns, Peter Kenyon felt relieved.

Peter Kenyon is very clear that Mourinho is capable, but he has some flaws in character.

At best it is pride, at worst it is too conceited.

He can only win others. If others win him, he can't accept it.

It is also because Mourinho has been too smooth since coaching, and one after another the championship has been soft, but suddenly he can't get it, and some can't adapt.

"Then do you have any new signing targets?"

Seeing that Mourinho finally stopped staring at the Crystal Palace players, Peter Kenyon quickly shifted his gaze.

"Snapped!"

Mourinho took out a blank piece of paper full of names from his pocket and put it on Peter Kenyon's desk.

"I have ranked the above candidates in order of importance. If there is any agreement, please let me know immediately."

After all, Mourinho immediately turned and left Peter Kenyon's office.

Peter Kenyon shook his head helplessly, and carefully looked at the list left by Mourinho.

"Essien, a Ghanaian player, born in 1982, plays as a midfielder and currently plays for Lyon, France."

Also in London, Arsenal Club, Arsene Wenger's office.

Looking at the newspapers in front of him, the corners of Wenger's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly.

If he had known that Crystal Palace could sign this super contract, Vieira's transfer fee could not be less than 4000 million euros anyway.

"Boss, we have suffered a big loss this time, Patrick sold too cheaply."

Assistant coach Pat Riley was also reading the newspaper, muttering non-stop.
