Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 183 What a stingy genius
Seeing that Chen Ran didn't respond for a long time, and then suddenly laughed inexplicably, Stephen was also at a loss. What does this mean?
"Ahem, Stephen, you should send someone to investigate the situation of the William II Club, especially the financial situation. If there is no problem, then proceed to the next step of the negotiation."

"Okay, Chen. If we start cooperation negotiations with the Willem II Club, do you have any requirements?"

"First of all, the Willem II club must guarantee the playing time of the players we loaned out, and we cannot use them on the bench after loaning them over."

"And for these loan players, Crystal Palace has the right to recall them at any time, and the Willem II Club has no right to refuse."

"Okay, what else?"

Stephen listened and took out his pen to start recording.

"The second point is that if there are players from the Willem II Club that we are interested in, then the Crystal Palace Club has the right of first acquisition."

"Right of first repurchase? Chen, the Willem II club can't even keep their qualifications for the Eredivisie. Can they still have the players you like?"

"Of course not now, but no one can guarantee that there will be absolutely none in the future. This is just added just in case."

"Okay, any more?"

"The rest is some transfer operations. At that time, I will tell Luis to deal with it. You can nail the above two. Your first task now is to find out whether the Willem II club is clean or not. .”

"Okay, got it."

After Stephen left, Chen Ran called the little fat man over.

"Chen, what do you want from me?"

The little fat man's face was full of red, and he seemed to be a little fatter.

When he was not in the transfer period, Luiz didn't have much to do. His recent task is to maintain contact with Ibrahimovic and Kaka.

"Well, there is indeed something. Stephen just brought good news. The Willem II Club in the Netherlands wants to become our satellite club."

"Oh? This is a great thing. Willem II Club is an Eredivisie team. Is our Crystal Palace so attractive now?"

Hearing the good news, the little fat man immediately became excited.

The Eredivisie League is no stranger to him, and their main business is to send South American players to European football.

The Portuguese Super League and the Eredivisie League are the two springboards for their players to enter the European continent.

Since Mendes established himself, the Figel family has gradually lost the springboard of the Portuguese Super League, which is also an important reason why the two sides have turned against each other.

Fatty is naturally very familiar with the only remaining springboard of the Eredivisie League.

"But the William II Club is about to be relegated, don't you know?"

"It's okay, as long as we loan a few players from Crystal Palace, they will definitely be able to avoid relegation. The competition in the Eredivisie League is not as fierce as the Premier League."

The little fat man looked like he wasn't worried about the relegation of the Willem II Club.

"Then how much do you know about this William II Club? Is the foundation clean?"

"I really don't know about such a weak team. I'll go back and ask my family and I'll give you an answer. Chen, is this why you called me here?"

"This is just one of them. If the Willem II Club really becomes a satellite club of our Crystal Palace, I plan to use their status to introduce some players, so I call you to come over and discuss how to operate it."

"Chen, what do you mean?"

Seeing Chen Ran talking about the transfer, the little fat man immediately became serious.

"You also know that as our Crystal Palace's record is getting better and better and its reputation is getting bigger and bigger, it is no longer possible to buy high-quality and cheap players like before."

"Yeah. The last time you asked me to talk about the transfer of Kompany and Lewandowski, the other party came to a big mouth."

Hearing Chen Ran's helplessness, the little fat man was also deeply moved.

Because he is the sports manager in charge of the transfer affairs of Crystal Palace, he has experienced these things first-hand.

Back when Chen Ran took him, the two of them traveled all over most of Europe, and bought almost all of Crystal Palace's main lineup at what seems to be an extremely low price.

Such a beautiful day is gone forever.

"So, this time the Willem II club came to me, which gave me a new idea. Our Crystal Palace is now a big tree, but William II is still a small unknown club. Is this situation very similar to the original Crystal Palace? ?”

"Chen, what do you mean, after finding some good seedlings, let the Willem II Club come forward to discuss the transfer?"

When it comes to business, the little fat man can't help but move closer to Chen Ran's side, and the volume of his speech is also greatly lowered.

"clever."

Chen Ran gave the little fat man a thumbs up, and then continued:

"This is my initial idea. But there is another key problem here, that is, we must find a way to prevent the Willem II Club from taking these good seedlings for themselves."

"This is indeed a big problem. After all, the William II Club is not a family with us, and we want to guard against them."

Hearing Chen Ran's concerns, the little fat man kept nodding his head in agreement.

"The key now is that when the transfer contract is signed, the William II Club must come forward, and even the name of our Crystal Palace cannot appear on the contract."

"But we still have to let the William II club honestly sell the players to Crystal Palace at the agreed price in the next transfer, and the lion can't open his mouth."

After hearing Chen Ran's request, the little fat man couldn't help but scratched his head and complained secretly in his heart.

The owner of the William II Club is not your son, Chen Ran, would he be so obedient?
"Chen, why don't we give the William II Club a certain percentage of the commission? Otherwise, there is no benefit. Once or twice is fine. If there are too many times, it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not use their brains."

"This is also a way, you can talk about it in detail."

"For example, if we want to introduce a player whose transfer fee is 100 million euros, we will give William II a commission of 10% of the transfer fee, which is 10 euros. By analogy, what do you think?"

"That's fine, but you need to add some insurance. The transfer fee must be paid from the account of the William II Club, but when we transfer the transfer fee to the William II Club, we can ask them to sign a loan contract first."

"Loan Contract?"

The little fat man stared at Chen Ran with his eyes wide open, his mind was a little lost.

"Yes, we loaned the transfer fee to the William II Club in the form of a loan. Then, the collateral for the loan is the ownership of the player. In this way, if the William II Club does not transfer the player to us at the agreed price, They have to pay back."

"Huh? This is a good way. Chen, your brain turns faster."

"Wait a minute, this is not enough. What if other clubs are interested in this player and are willing to pay a high price to buy him from the Willem II Club. As long as the price is high enough, the Willem II Club may still sell the player. Sell ​​it to someone else."

"In this way, a liquidated damages will be added to the loan contract. If the Willem II club fails to transfer the player to our Crystal Palace at the agreed price, then they will need to compensate ten times the transfer fee."

"ten times?"

The little fat man was really frightened by Chen Ran's lion's big mouth.

"Chen, is ten times too much? Can the Willem II club agree?"

"Why didn't you agree? As long as they act according to the agreement, is there any difference in the amount of the money? Unless, they don't want to abide by the agreement at all. But in that case, is it necessary for us to cooperate with them?"

What Chen Ran said made the little fat man nod repeatedly.

Indeed, as long as there is no breach of contract, the liquidated damages are useless.

And according to Chen Ran's method, he can also test whether the Willem II Club is really sincere in cooperation.

Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?

Thinking of this, the little fat man had to admire how clever his good friend was.Considering all aspects of the situation very comprehensively, even if the Willem II Club wants to breach the contract, it will need to pay a huge price.

"Chen, when will I go to discuss the transfer with Willem II Club?"

"Don't worry, wait for Stephen to investigate the situation of the William II Club. By the way, you should go back and find out their details."

"Okay. Chen, don't worry, I will call my dad in a while."

"Well, if everything goes well, when you go to discuss this matter with the William II Club, bring the club's lawyer with you. The contract must be strict, and you must not leave any room for the other party to take advantage of the loopholes, understand?"

"Okay, I know."

After dismissing the little fat man, Chen Ran began to think carefully about what other good seedlings could be tapped in advance.

Since the last time Kompany and Lewandowski were opened up by the opposing club Lions, Chen Ran temporarily gave up the idea of ​​continuing to dig future stars.

When the Crystal Palace lineup was first formed, these future stars could be bought at a low price.

So even if these future stars are still young and far from reaching the peak level, Chen Ran still recognizes them.

After all, it saves money, just cultivate it slowly.

But now that the Crystal Palace tree is so popular, even if they buy young players, they will be slaughtered, so Chen Ran feels that it is unnecessary.

After spending so much money, you can't use it immediately after buying it, but you have to cultivate it slowly, thanks ah.

Then I might as well just spend a lot of money to buy mature stars who can play the main force when they come, such as Vieira.

Chen Ran now somewhat understands why those big companies are not willing to train newcomers, but prefer to directly spend a lot of money to poach those executives who have proven their strength.

Immediate results ah.

However, now that he has the vest of the William II Club, Chen Ran has another chance to experience the pleasure of stealthily picking up leaks.

It may be because the pressure of relegation is too great, and the help of Crystal Palace players is urgently needed.

Regarding Stephen's request to know about the financial situation of the William II Club, the William II Club unexpectedly agreed.

The survey results show that although the record of the Willem II club is very poor, the club's financial aspects are very healthy, and it has truly lived within its means.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of this strict control of investment that the Willem II Club is on the verge of relegation.

The most surprising thing is that, on the premise of not wanting to increase investment and wanting to relegation, the Willem II club thought of a way to take the initiative to join the Crystal Palace and become a satellite club.

I have to admit that the manager of the William II Club is really a stingy genius.

However, for the Crystal Palace Club and Chen Ran, this is an out-and-out good thing.

Louis also got a positive answer from his father.

Although the Willem II Club is an inconspicuous small club, it has a stable management style and is a good partner for cooperation.

Both Stephen and Louis got good results, which also made Chen Ran determined to cooperate with Willem II Club.

At this moment, Stephen found Chen Ran again.

"Chen, Mr. Van der Lit, the owner of the William II Club, wants to come to London to visit you in person."

"What? Stephen, you mean the owner of the William II Club wants to come to London to meet me?"

Chen Ran was a little surprised and confirmed it again.

It's just a matter of signing the cooperation agreement of the satellite clubs, and the CEOs of both clubs will come forward.

Now the owner of the William II Club is going to come to London to visit him in person, which is too grand.

"Yes, Chen. Do you want to see him?"

"Of course, since Mr. Van Der Litt is visiting London in person, it would be very impolite not to see each other."

What Chen Ran didn't expect was that the day after Stephen passed the news that he was willing to meet, that Mr. Vander Litt ran from the Netherlands to London.

"Hello, Mr. Vanderlit, I'm Chen Ran."

Looking at the old man with more than half of the gray hair and a completely white beard in front of him, Chen Ran was also very surprised.

It's not because of Van der Litt's age, it's all in this information.

It was Vander Lit's expression, which was so lively that he didn't look like an old man who was nearly seventy years old.

"Haha, Chen, I've noticed you and your Crystal Palace a long time ago, but I haven't had the chance to know each other. This time there was a problem with my Willem II club, and I thought of you right away."

Van der Lit laughed loudly, while pulling Chen Ran to talk non-stop.

"You, a magical Huaguo boy, can bring Crystal Palace from obscurity to Premier League champions in just two years, so there must be a way to help my William II successfully avoid relegation."

Chen Ran's head was full of black lines, what do you think of me the first time something goes wrong?

What does it mean that there must be a way to help William II successfully avoid relegation?

Grandpa, do we know each other?
Chen Ran tried to pull his hand out several times but failed. Regardless of his age, Van der Liet had a strong hand. He held Chen Ran's hand and chatted and laughed, as if the two were friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

Looking at the old man with white beard who looked like an old urchin in front of him, Chen Ran suddenly had a premonition that he might be in trouble.
