Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 159 This is the real boss!

After several rounds of confrontation, Chelsea finally won Essien.

However, the price paid is a bit high.In order to get Essien, Chelsea paid a transfer fee of 5000 million euros, and Essien became the king of the Premier League's summer transfer period.

"Chen, all the itineraries for our trip to Asia have been finalized, please check to see if there is any problem."

Stephen handed the itinerary to Chen Ran while continuing to report.

"We will first have a friendly match with Shanghai Flowers in Shanghai. The appearance fee is 200 million euros, and then we will go to the opening ceremony of Crystal Palace's youth training base in Smart Island."

"Then we will fly to Tokyo, Japan, to play a friendly match with the J-League team Urawa Red Diamonds. The appearance fee is also 200 million euros."

"Our third stop is to go to Bangkok, Thailand, to play a friendly match with the Thai Super League team Buriram United. The appearance fee is 100 million euros."

"The last battle is a temporary increase in the itinerary at the request of Emirates. We will fly to Dubai to play a friendly match with the UAE's Al Ain Club. The appearance fee is 300 million euros."

"Without counting other business activities, our trip to Asia will allow Crystal Palace to earn a total net income of 800 million euros."

When it comes to making money, Stephen's spirit immediately changes.

Although he has already dealt with several contracts of over 800 million euros, the net income of [-] million euros still makes Stephen overjoyed, wishing that this kind of good thing happens every month.

"Eight million euros? After all, it's the first trip to make money, so it's not bad."

You can get so much income just by going around, no wonder those wealthy clubs like to go to places like Asia and North America during the offseason.

Chen Ran felt that the Crystal Palace could not be left behind, and that the rich clubs could not get all the money.

Every summer in the future, not only in Asia, but also in North America, the Crystal Palace will have to go there.

Let Asia and North America, the two football backward regions, also experience the top football feast.

"Stephen, you can ask Emirates, is the chartered flight with the logo of our Crystal Palace club that they said before ready?"

"This time we will take their chartered flight for the entire trip to Asia. This is also a very good opportunity for Emirates to showcase in Asia."

"Okay, I'll get in touch with Emirates later."

"Also, since we have Emirates as the exclusive sponsor in the aviation field, can we develop other fields as well?"

"Such as cars, you can contact the major car brands around the world to see if they are interested in becoming the exclusive car sponsor of the Crystal Palace Club."

"There are also clothing, watches, drinks, logistics and other aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, which can be well developed. With the growing influence of our Crystal Palace, these are all money."

"Okay, Chen, when I get back, I'll have someone formulate a comprehensive business development plan for our Crystal Palace."

After receiving Stephen's news, Emirates, which was not in a hurry, immediately dispatched a Boeing 747, and worked overtime to spray the logo of the Crystal Palace Club on the surface of the plane.

This trip to Asia, the Crystal Palace Club can be said to be fully dispatched.

Because I have to go to the Crystal Palace Youth Training Base on Smart Island to participate in the opening ceremony, not only the first team, but even the coaches and players of the youth team also came.

In addition to club staff, coaches, team doctors, lawyers in charge of business negotiations, and even chefs, the total number of people has exceeded 50.

This is also the reason why Chen Ran asked Emirates to prepare a charter flight. If so many people took an ordinary commercial flight, it would definitely be a mess.

When the "Sports Weekly" received the number of people traveling from Crystal Palace, they were also taken aback.

Good guy, this is coming out in full force.

"President, it's a good thing you subcontracted this event, otherwise our newspaper office would not be able to bear the expenses of so many people."

One of Xu Yuan's assistants said with lingering fear.

"Hehe, you don't understand this. Don't just look at the high expenses, but the income is also high."

"Take Boss Guo who won the right to host this time at a price of 300 million euros. He has already paid back his capital just from the rental income of the stadium billboards for this game, as well as the ticket sales that have already been sold. It’s just a matter of earning more and earning less.”

"So powerful? President, can hosting this kind of friendly match really make money?"

"That also depends on who is hosting the friendly match. Although Crystal Palace is just a newly emerging team, don't forget his boss and head coach, Chen Ran, is an out-and-out Chinese."

"With the blessing of this aspect, coupled with the fact that Crystal Palace's results are indeed outstanding. Last season they not only broke many records in the Premier League, won the championship with an unbeaten record, and even won the UEFA Cup. "

"Such a legendary team will naturally attract our domestic fans to watch the Crystal Palace game with their own eyes."

"If you pay attention to the post bar where Crystal Palace fans gather, you will know that in just one year, our domestic Crystal Palace fans have grown from scratch, and the number has shown explosive growth. Therefore, hosting the Crystal Palace game must not be a loss."

"President, since hosting the Crystal Palace match will definitely make money, wouldn't it be too bad for us to subcontract the hosting right?"

"There is no way to do this. Who told us that we have no experience in hosting events before. So, this time I will bring you here, and each one of you should be smarter, watch more, ask more questions, and learn more. After mastering the ability to host events , in the future when the Crystal Palace comes to China, we will undertake it ourselves."

"Okay, don't worry, President, we will study hard."

After Crystal Palace's domestic itinerary was confirmed, it immediately became a hot topic among domestic Crystal Palace fans.

"Brothers and sisters, Crystal Palace will only stay in one city, Shanghai, when they come to China this time. Do you plan to pick up the plane at the airport?"

"Yes, I am from Shanghai. I will definitely pick you up at the airport. Is there anyone else with me?"

"Yes, I will go too. Does anyone know the flight number and the specific time of the Crystal Palace flight?"

"I'm from the airline, I'll check in the system. Oh, yes, they're on a charter flight, an Emirates Boeing 747."

"I'll go, charter a flight, it's so good. It's still a Boeing 747. It seems that there are quite a lot of people coming from the Crystal Palace this time."

"Don't forget that Crystal Palace will not only play a friendly match in Shencheng this time, but also attend the unveiling ceremony of the youth training base on Smart Island."

"Yeah, I almost forgot about this matter. After the unveiling of the Crystal Palace's youth training base, does it mean that their domestic youth training selection will officially start?"

"That's for sure. Otherwise, why spend so much money, buy land, and build a youth training base?"

"That's right. From Chen Ran's perspective of selecting players, maybe this youth training base may become the La Masia of China in the future."

"Listen to you, after watching the game, I will definitely go to Crystal Palace's youth training base on Smart Island."

"That's what I thought too, let's go together then."

"Haha, let's go together."

When the Emirates Boeing 747 aircraft painted with the logo of the Crystal Palace Club landed at Shencheng Airport, it was particularly eye-catching among the snow-white aircraft on the tarmac.

The appearance of this Boeing 747 immediately attracted the attention of other passengers at the airport.

"Let me go, what kind of plane is this, why is the color different from other planes?"

"It seems to be custom-made, right?"

"Which rich man's private jet is it?"

"Why does the logo on this fuselage look familiar?"

"I remembered, isn't the logo on this fuselage the team logo of Crystal Palace, which won the Premier League last season?"

"Eagle, football, palace, and this English, yes, it is the logo of Crystal Palace Club."

"I'll go, is this the plane of the Crystal Palace Club?"

"No way, I haven't heard of any football club owning its own plane. Is the Crystal Palace so awesome?"

"But, how do you explain the paint on the fuselage of the plane? Don't tell me that it's because the Crystal Palace Club took the plane once, and then the airline painted the Crystal Palace logo."

"Yeah, no airline would do that."

"Anyway, Crystal Palace's appearance this time is still very famous."

"That's right, it's a bit like that of a wealthy club."

And when Chen Ran led a team of nearly 60 people and appeared at the airport in a mighty manner, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"I'll go. There are so many foreigners. Is this a tour group?"

"Hey, the one walking in the middle turned out to be a native of China."

"This isn't some kind of business delegation, is it?"

"It's not like, most of them are young guys, and they all have great figures. Could it be some kind of modeling agency?"

When the onlookers were guessing, Xu Yuan, the president of "Sports Weekly" who came to pick him up, and his partner, Boss Guo, went forward together.

As a result, the onlookers saw a dumbfounded scene. When Chen Ran and Xu Yuan exchanged greetings, the remaining nearly sixty foreigners stood quietly behind Chen Ran and waited.

People with good deeds even took pictures of this scene and uploaded it to their social media.And a sensational headline: This is the real boss!

Because the Crystal Palace Club took a chartered flight and took a dedicated channel.

That's why the Crystal Palace fans who came to pick up the plane found Chen Ran and his party at this time, they flocked to them, and surrounded Chen Ran and others.

"Hi Brother Ran, I'm a Crystal Palace fan, can you sign me?"

"Hi Brother Ran, I am also a fan of Crystal Palace, please sign me too."

"Hi Brother Ran, I'm a Crystal Palace fan, can I take a photo with you?"

This was the first time Chen Ran encountered such a situation, and Chen Ran was also a little confused.

He is not a celebrity, yet someone would ask him for an autograph?

In a daze, a pen was stuffed into his hand, and he began to sign various things inexplicably.

Fortunately, the security guards from the airport rushed over soon, and with the cooperation of the staff of the Crystal Palace Club, they stopped the enthusiastic Crystal Palace fans.

In order to persuade enthusiastic fans away as soon as possible, Chen Ran also had to stand on a suitcase and shout.

"Everyone go back first. After all, this is an airport and a public place. If we all gather here, it will affect other people."

"After the friendly match is over, I will go to Smart Island to participate in the opening ceremony of the youth training base. Everyone is welcome to participate, and I will have enough time to sign autographs and take pictures for everyone."

After making a bunch of promises, Chen Ran finally got away.With the Crystal Palace group, they left the airport in a hurry.

"Who was that just now? Is it a big star? Why don't I know it?"

Although Chen Ran left the airport, the onlookers who saw the scene just now were still talking about it.

"I don't know him either. But what he said seems to be related to football."

"That's right. And it's also related to foreign football. Didn't you see so many foreigners just now?"

"Yes. But those foreigners seem to listen to that young man from Huaguo."

"That's right. When that Huaguo boy was talking just now, those foreigners stood behind him and waited silently."

"You probably don't watch football. The man just now is Chen Ran, the owner of the Crystal Palace Club in the United Kingdom. He is from China. His team has just won the Premier League championship. This time he is returning to China to play against Shencheng Flowers. A friendly match."

"What? Won the Premier League championship? That's incredible. I know about the Premier League. My son talks about it every day, saying it's the most powerful league in the world."

"Then this young man is really amazing. No wonder all the foreigners listened to him just now."

"Haha, I got Brother Ran's signature."

A Crystal Palace fan who got Chen Ran's signature couldn't help taking a photo of the signature and uploading it to the Crystal Palace post bar, which immediately drew criticism from everyone.

"You guy, if I remember correctly, you were the first to call Chen Ran 'Chicken Ran'? Why did you change your name to 'Brother Ran' now?"

"Hey, you are slandering, you are naked envy, jealousy and hatred."

"Tell me, is Chen Ran handsome? I have to go to work today and I can't go to the airport."

"Fuck, why do people still care about whether Chen Ran is handsome or not? Are you a girl?"

"Yeah, what's the matter? Can't girls like football?"

"Yes, yes. Chen Ran looks quite handsome, he is tall, and he is not very old, probably not yet 30 years old."

"Ahhh"

"what happened?"

"Tall, handsome and capable, isn't this the Prince Charming in my heart? I have decided that Chen Ran will be my husband from now on."

"I'll go, girl, calm down, she already has a girlfriend, and she's a big star."

"I don't care, I don't care, I don't care!"
