Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 186 Raise the Banner and Make a Tiger Skin

"What kind of mess is this? Do you believe this kind of nonsense?"

The Marquis of Bath looked at Vander Lit speechlessly.

"It's better than him directly refusing, right? Besides, put this little guy on first, and it's hard to say how things will develop in the future."

"I'm running out of time, and it may be difficult to find a second satisfactory candidate. In this situation, even in the worst case, Catherine has one more person to rely on, doesn't she?"

"Alexander, as long as that little guy can really take care of Catherine, if I'm gone, if he encounters any difficulties, I hope you can help him."

Listening to Van der Litt's words, which were similar to dying, the Marquis of Bass nodded solemnly.

Before entering the ward to visit Vander Lit, the Marquis of Bath first went to see Vander Lit's attending doctor, West. The examination results were not optimistic, and Dr. West told him to make mental preparations.

Because there is not much time left, everything is kept simple.

Van der Liet's granddaughter Catherine was called to London the next day, and she was indeed a beautiful woman.

It's just that there is a problem with his personality, and he never takes the initiative to speak.Even when someone spoke to her, the answers were very curt.

Except for his grandpa Vander Lit, it seems like no one else exists.

Van der Lit held a small ceremony, and under the witness of the Marquis of Bath, Chen Ran and Catherine formally became brothers and sisters.

Catherine didn't say a word the whole time, until at the end, Van der Li held her and Chen Ran's hands together.

"Catherine, my baby, if grandpa is gone in the future, you can come to Chen Ran for anything. Do you want to treat him as your own family?"

Hearing these words, Catherine turned her head and took a deep look at Chen Ran, tears welling up in her eyes.Then he threw himself into Van der Litt's arms and hugged him tightly without letting go.

While Van der Liet was busy comforting Catherine, the Marquis of Bass pulled Chen Ran aside.

"Little guy, I don't care what you think, but since you promised Bernard, you must take care of Catherine for me. Otherwise, I won't let you go, understand?"

"Uncle, don't worry, I'm still very trustworthy, and I will definitely do what I promised."

Seeing the Marquis of Bath staring at his eyes like a falcon, Chen Ran nodded solemnly without any dodge.

"Very well, I'll keep an eye on you."

After all, the Marquis of Bath stretched out his hand and called Stephen over.

"Come on, Stephen, take out the digital camera in my bag and take a photo with Chen Ran."

Immediately afterwards, the Marquis of Bath put his hands on Chen Ran's shoulders with a smile on his face, while still reminding Chen Ran: "What are you doing in a daze? Laugh."

So, after Stephen took a few photos of Chen Ran and the Marquis of Bath who seemed to have a close relationship, the Marquis of Bath released Chen Ran, walked over to check the effect of Stephen's shooting, and exhorted him.

"Stephen, find some familiar reporters later and spread out these photos."

After finishing speaking, the Marquis of Bath turned to look at Chen Ran again.

"Little guy, as long as you keep your promise, I will block those messy things for you in the UK. But if you break your promise, then you know the consequences."

After that, everything went very smoothly.

The cooperation between the William II Club and Crystal Palace is obviously not taken seriously by the Marquis of Bath and Van der Liet.

As the current owner of the William II Club, Catherine signed her name directly on the cooperation agreement without even reading the contract.

Chen Ran and Stephen, who returned to the Crystal Palace Club after finishing all their work, are still a little dizzy.

"Chen, it's no wonder that Mr. Vanderleet entrusted Catherine to your care. She signed the contract without even reading it. If it were someone else, she would definitely be cheated out of money."

As the manager of the Crystal Palace club, Stephen obviously couldn't accept Catherine's hasty behavior.

"Hehe, with your dad behind you, in England, few people would dare to lie to Catherine. For the strong, the contract is a piece of waste paper, so it's useless."

"Chen, what should we do with these photos? Do we really want to send them to the reporter as he requested?"

Stephen took out the photos of Chen Ran and the Marquis of Bath from his bag, and put them on the table in front of Chen Ran.

"Of course. After tossing for a long time, this is our biggest gain. As for the satellite club of William II, it is just an addition now."

"Stephen, I know you are very dissatisfied with your father. But one thing is undeniable, that is, the Marquess of Bath is still very energetic in England."

"Our Crystal Palace is already a big attraction. If we achieve greater achievements in the future, such as winning the Champions League, such as winning the Premier League championship."

"Then it is likely to lead to more open and dark arrows, and some may not even be football-level competitions."

"You also know that my identity as a Chinese is very conspicuous here. It's okay if I'm just making trouble, but once I stand on the top. Some white supremacist elders can tolerate me?"

"So, Stephen, the situation we are facing at the Crystal Palace is far from being as easy as it seems on the surface. Why don't I just reject Mr. Van der Lit's proposal? Frankly speaking, I have selfish intentions."

"When I heard that Mr. Van der Litt and your father are good friends, I wanted to use this relationship to connect with your father and prepare for possible troubles in the future."

"Chen, you can tell me directly, there is no need to make such a big detour."

Hearing this, Stephen was immediately dissatisfied. Chen Ran didn't treat him as one of his own.

"Stephen, I don't want to embarrass you. You don't usually contact your father at all. I don't want you to wrong yourself to beg your father for my affairs."

"Chen, you don't have to do this."

Looking at Chen Ran's sincere eyes, Stephen couldn't help being moved.

"It doesn't matter, this time because of Mr. Vander Lit's relationship, your father has promised to help me shelter from the wind and rain. As long as I fulfill my promise, I can fulfill Mr. Vander Lit's wish and my goal, isn't it perfect? ?”

"I understand. When I go back, I will find reporters from several major newspapers and publish these photos in the newspapers, trying to let more people see these photos."

"No, you don't need to worry about this matter. It's better to distribute these photos to those gossip newspapers. Louis is more familiar with this. I'll leave it to him when I get back."

"Your first task now is to arrange for a lawyer to quickly draw up the lease contract. After I confirm the candidate, I will immediately sign the contract with William II."

"This is the first time we have cooperated with the William II Club, but they must not be relegated. Otherwise, not only will our brand be smashed, but your father and Mr. Van der Lit will also have trouble explaining it."

"Okay, I'll do it right now."

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

"Louis, spread these photos and let as many people see them as possible."

Without any nonsense, Chen Ran directly handed the photo to the little fat man.

"Huh? Isn't this Stephen's father?"

Van der Liet did not invite Fatty to the ceremony, so it was the first time that Fatty saw these photos.

"That's right, now we need to rely on the big tree of Stephen's father to shelter us from the wind and rain, understand?"

"Chen, what do you mean, our Crystal Palace is in trouble now?"

The little fat man thinks that the Crystal Palace has been going well recently, and he didn't find any problems.

"I don't know if there is now, but I know there will be in the future. And if there is, it will definitely not be a small trouble. Louis, take precautions, understand?"

"Okay, I know what to do. Chen, is there anything else?"

Louis is also a smart person, and Chen Ran understood Chen Ran's intentions just by calling him a little bit.

"Yes, you go to the youth team to inform Dzeko, Suarez, Vardy, Pique and Bell that they are going to play in the Netherlands for a period of time to gain experience in the Eredivisie."

"Are all these little guys going? Chen, these are the best players in our Crystal Palace youth team."

"Go all. This is the first time we have cooperated with Willem II Club, and we must help them succeed in relegation."

"Okay, I know."

The little fat man was very efficient, and those photos appeared on the major gossip media the next day.

The Sun, in particular, has given full play to its strengths of making something out of nothing, and has written a lot of special books.

What to say that Chen Ran is a good friend of the son of the Marquis of Bath, and is very valued by the Marquis of Bath.He even asked his son to join the Crystal Palace Club run by Chen Ran and so on.

Because the Marquis of Bath was originally a famous figure among the British aristocracy, plus Chen Ran, a popular figure who has always been popular.

All of a sudden, the photos of Chen Ran and the Marquis of Bath grabbed the pages of major media one after another.

Manchester, Manchester United, Ferguson's office.

"Alex, there is some bad news."

Manchester United CEO David Gill came to Ferguson's office again, but his expression was not very good.

"Come on, is there any worse news than not winning the Premier League title?"

Faced with a huge gap of [-] points behind the top team Crystal Palace, Ferguson has now learned to laugh at himself.

"My friends at the 'Revenue and Customs Administration' received word that their tax investigation of Chen Ran has been suspended."

"Paused? Do you know why?"

Hearing this news, Ferguson immediately sat up straight and looked at David Gill with a serious expression.

"According to my friend, the above said that there is insufficient evidence."

"Above? How much above?"

"It is said that the order came from the director's office."

"The director's office?"

Ferguson fell silent now.

"Alex, I think the real reason may be this."

As David Gill spoke, he put the Sun newspaper in his hand on Ferguson's desk.

The first thing that caught Ferguson's eyes was the photo of Chen Ran and the Marquis of Bath.

Ferguson ignored David Gill, but directly picked up the newspaper and read it.

"What nonsense!"

After watching it for a long time, Ferguson laughed angrily at the contents of the Sun newspaper.

According to the Sun, the Marquis of Bath and his son are really a model family of loving father and son.

But what the real situation is, no one in the upper class in England knows.

This report by The Sun can only fool the ordinary people.

"Alex, what matters is not the content of the Sun, but this photo of Chen Ran and the Marquis of Bath."

Seeing Ferguson throwing down the newspaper angrily, David Gill deliberately pointed at the photo.

When Ferguson picked up the newspaper again and saw the picture of the Marquis of Bath and Chen Ran looking at each other and laughing, he fell into deep thought.

Is this real, or just acting?

However, why did Chen Ran let the Marquis of Bath accompany him to act?
Just based on that illegitimate son Stephen?

Ferguson shook his head. He had already sent someone to understand Stephen's situation.

Because of his mother, he has always been at odds with the Marquis of Bath.

As father and son, the two of them don't see each other once a year. Will the Marquis of Bath support Chen Ran because of him?
Ferguson obviously didn't believe it, but he couldn't think of any other reason.

However, Ferguson still agrees with David Gill's opinion.

The reason why the Revenue and Customs Administration suspended the tax investigation of Chen Ran was probably because of the relationship with the Marquis of Bath.

Although the Marquis of Bath often does some absurd things, he is actually very smart and never touches the red line.He knows exactly what can and cannot be done.

Moreover, he has a profound background and a wide range of contacts. On the surface, he looks like an idle nobleman, but his energy in private is quite amazing.

At least, Ferguson doesn't think he has the strength to confront the Marquis of Bath.

"David, stop all the methods used to deal with that Chinese man outside the football field."

"Alex, are you really going to stop? We have invested a lot before. If we stop now, it would be equivalent to throwing everything into the water."

"Stop it, don't provoke this old rascal. It's not worth it for that Huaguo person."

Ferguson pointed to the head of the Marquis of Bath on the newspaper.

"Alex, do you think the Marquis of Bath will really support that Chinese man?"

David Gill asked curiously, he still found it a bit unbelievable.

"I don't know either. However, the fact that this photo can be published in such a large number already shows his attitude."

At the same time, in London, in the CEO office of the Chelsea club, Peter Kenyon was also introducing background information about the Marquess of Bath to Mourinho.

When he heard that the Marquis of Bath had 74 mistresses and lived with them, even with Mourinho's conceit, he couldn't help being shocked from ear to ear.

"Peter, are you telling the truth?"

"Did I lie to you about this?"

Peter Kenyon smiled bitterly, and then reminded: "José, what you need to pay attention to is not that he has 74 mistresses, but that he is on Chen Ran's side."

"This is not good news for us."
