Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 255 Exposed!

Winning the first of two crucial battles brought a sigh of relief to everyone in Crystal Palace.

Moreover, the day after Chen Ran returned to London with the team, Stephen also brought another piece of good news.

"Chen, Gatorade and Coca-Cola both sent in new offers."

Seeing Stephen's beaming appearance, Chen Ran knew that the sponsorship negotiations must have made critical progress.

"Oh? These two are worthy of being deadly rivals. They even sent quotations at the same time. It seems that commercial espionage is everywhere."

"Haha, Pepsi and Coca-Cola have been fighting for so many years, and it's nothing new to put eyeliner on rivals. This time, it's mainly because you, Chen, led Crystal Palace to win the Club World Cup, which made the two companies raise their bids. "

"Really? Judging from your appearance, the price should be good. Tell me, how much do these two companies offer?"

"Okay. Gatorade agreed to your plan. On the basis of adding the word 'sports', they will sponsor us 1000 million euros per year. However, they asked to sign a five-year contract."

"Five years? They're pretty smart."

"Chen, do you think the five-year contract period is too long?"

Seeing Chen Ran frowned slightly when he heard the time of five years, Stephen immediately guessed what Chen Ran was thinking.

"It's a bit long. After five years, not to mention dominating European football, our Crystal Palace will at least be one of the top giants clubs in Europe."

"So, Stephen, you go to Gatorade to continue negotiating with Gatorade on the issue of the contract period, and try to shorten the time to three years."

"Ok, I see."

While recording Chen Ran's request, Stephen continued to report Coca-Cola's offer.

"As for Coca-Cola, they also raised the offer to 1500 million euros per year, and also asked to sign a five-year contract."

"Also five years? It seems that there are really many smart people."

"Stephen, just like Gatorade, you should also continue to negotiate with Coca-Cola and try to reduce the contract period to three years. Finally, based on the results of the negotiations with these two, we will decide who to sign with."

"Understood, I will handle this matter myself."

Just as Stephen was about to leave, little fat Louis rushed in with a newspaper in his hand, and started yelling as soon as he entered the door.

"Chen, something happened, something big happened!"

"What are you panicking about? Hold your breath and speak slowly."

Seeing Louis' startled look, Chen Ran gave him an annoyed look.

"Snapped!"

The little fat man patted the newspaper in his hand on Chen Ran's desk.

"You see, the matter of the Galaxy Football Group was dug up by the Sun, and it was on their front page today."

"I believe that the news will soon spread throughout Europe, and even the whole world."

Chen Ran took a look at the Sun newspaper on the table, good guy, his handsome photo appeared on the front page of the Sun newspaper again.

The big title is very eye-catching.

"Chen Ran's Football Kingdom!"

The names of the four clubs of Crystal Palace, Willem II, Recife Sports and Shencheng East Asia are arranged in a tree diagram below.

And behind the name of each club, there are detailed information.

The content of the article is even more sensational.

It is said that Chen Ran's ambition is not just to dominate the Premier League, or even European football.

Chen Ran's real goal is to build a football kingdom that spans five continents.

"It's not completely fabricated. It seems that the Sun newspaper has put a lot of effort into this report."

Chen Ran was very calm. While looking at the newspaper in his hand, he still had a few comments in his mood.

"Chen, are you not in a hurry?"

Seeing Chen Ran's reaction, the little fat man was also a little surprised.

The Galaxy Football Group is still in its infancy and has just taken shape.

Except for Crystal Palace, the other three clubs are simply not on the table.

Shouldn't the news be blocked at this time, develop insignificantly, and then make it public after it grows stronger?

"Worried? Why are you in a hurry?"

"News from the Galaxy Football Group."

"Louis, I didn't intend to hide this news at all, and I can't hide it. Your family has been in the football circle for so many years. What news do you think can be hidden from others?"

"Especially when it's such a big deal to buy a club, those who are interested can find all kinds of clues as long as they pay a little attention."

"Well, that's true."

The little fat man rubbed his head. He often inquired about news from the agent circle, and he was convinced of Chen Ran's judgment.

"So, now that it's been exposed by the Sun, it's okay, and I even think it's a good thing."

"A good thing? Chen, as soon as the Sun newspaper's report comes out, every move of the Galaxy Football Group in the future will definitely be closely watched by those who want to. Is this a good thing?"

This time, not only the little fat man was confused, but even Stephen, who stayed behind, looked at Chen Ran in confusion.

"Of course it's a good thing. You also know that my Galaxy Football Group project has never been done before, so I don't know how everyone will react."

"The Sun's report this time can just be used as a test for us to see how many people support and how many people oppose this new thing."

"If there are not many voices against it, then we can proceed with the plan with peace of mind."

"If the voice of opposition is too loud, or even something irresistible happens. Then we can also stop the loss in time while the current investment is not large."

"So that's the case, you are still smart, Chen."

After Chen Ran's analysis, the little fat man suddenly realized, and immediately offered his flattery without any money.

"This is indeed a good way. Even if it is the worst result, it can at least reduce our losses."

Stephen also nodded in agreement. As soon as money was involved, he immediately became serious.

"Louis, you have been paying close attention to the reaction of various parties to the new thing of the Galaxy Football Group. Not only the media, but also other clubs, the FA and even UEFA and FIFA. In short, I want to know their reactions. "

"Activate all your relationships, and don't be afraid to spend money. And your father, please also ask him to find out about this."

"Also, you need to find some reliable online trolls. If you find someone who is playing the rhythm of the Internet and maliciously attacking us, then you must be ready to fight at any time. Understand?"

"Okay, Chen, don't worry, I'm good at these things, and I will take care of them."

As soon as he heard that the war was going to start, the little fat man, who had been a little flustered recently, immediately cheered up and patted his chest to reassure Chen Ran.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Ran turned to look at Stephen again.

"Stephen, after the Galaxy Football Group's plan is exposed, it is still uncertain what kind of reaction will be made by all parties."

"As for the sponsorship period of Gatorade and Coca-Cola, I don't plan to worry about it any more. I will sign according to five years."

"I want to see if there will be changes between the two after the news of the Galaxy Football Group is exposed."

"You go to Gatorade first, and then to Coca-Cola. Whoever doesn't add new conditions, sign the contract first. Understand?"

"clear."

Stephen nodded slowly. He knew what Chen Ran meant. This was also testing the sponsor's reaction to the Galaxy Football Group.

When Chen Ran was assigning tasks in the office of the Crystal Palace Club, there was already a stir outside about the Galaxy Football Group.

Whether it is newspapers, magazines, TV or the Internet, as long as it is related to football and sports, the topic of China Football Group is discussed.

Even some financial media came here to catch the heat, and began to talk about the amount of money Chen Ran would spend to establish the Galaxy Football Group, as well as the possible returns and so on.

"We all underestimated the ambition of that Chinese man."

"He not only wants to win the Premier League and the Champions League, his real purpose is to build an unprecedented football kingdom and dominate the world football."

"So far, the Galaxy Football Group has owned clubs from four countries: England, the Netherlands, Brazil and China, all over Europe, Asia and South America. We have reason to believe that the goal of the Chinese man is to make his football Kingdoms spread across the five continents."

"Judging from the targets chosen by the Galaxy Football Group, apart from Chen Ran's home country Huaguo, England, Brazil and the Netherlands are all traditional football powerhouses. It is obvious that his acquisition targets are very targeted."

"It is strongly recommended that FIFA prohibit the existence of such trusts as the Galaxy Football Group."

"The Chinese man wants to dominate the world football, and the Galaxy Football Group is his tool. We must kill his conspiracy in the cradle."

Thousands of miles away in China, Galaxy Football Group, a new thing, also detonated the entire football circle in Huaguo.

The popularity of the Crystal Palace post bar has reached a new high because of this incident.

"Good guy, I'm just a good guy. If Chen Ran doesn't make a move, it's a big deal."

"That's right. It's quiet, but it has quietly acquired four clubs."

"It seems that what is said on the Internet is correct. This guy Chen Ran really wants to build a football kingdom."

"I think it's a good idea. If all the clubs that Chen Ran acquires can win the local league championship, that scene will be exciting to think about."

"What I am more concerned about is that Shencheng East Asia under Director Xu has also become a member of the Galaxy Football Group. Could it be that Director Xu also sold his football base to Chen Ran?"

"Probably not. Next to Xu's football base is Crystal Palace's youth training base. There is no need for Chen Ran to buy another one. I guess it's just a cooperation between the two on the team."

"Upstairs, Crystal Palace's youth training base on Smart Island has changed its name a few months ago, even the signboard has been changed. The current name is 'Galaxy Football (Hua Guo) Youth Training Base'."

"That's right, I saw it too. I'm from Smart Island. I wondered at the time, could it be that the Crystal Palace quit? Asking the staff didn't yield any results. I didn't expect there to be such a huge plan behind it."

"I'll go, it turns out that guy Chen Ran has already taken action, and the secrecy work is really well done."

"According to what is said on the Internet, the Galaxy Football Group still lacks teams from Africa and North America. It seems that Chen Ran's next move is likely to be from these two places."

"Chen Ran has played football to the fullest. If he can really establish a football kingdom, it will be history."

"Looking forward to the day when the Galaxy Football Kingdom dominates the world football!"

"Looking forward to +1!"

"Looking forward to +2!"

As a member of the Galaxy Football Group, Shencheng East Asia is also very uneasy today.

Especially the young players below, thinking that they can become a brother team under the same owner as the Premier League champion, Champions League champion, and Club World Cup champion, they are all so excited, how can they train hard?
"Old Xu, I think we should take a day off today. Once the news spreads, how can these little redheads have the mind to train?"

Seeing the young players who have always been most afraid of Director Xu, today even Director Xu losing his temper didn't help, so Coach Jiang had no choice but to go to Director Xu's ear to persuade him.

There is no way, such shocking news, let alone these children, even the old man was very excited when he first heard the news.

"Okay, let's all disband, take a day off today."

Director Xu also knew that today's situation was special, and no good results would be achieved if he continued to force the training, so he had no choice but to announce the disbandment graciously.

"Oh!"

A burst of cheers resounded through the sky, and the young players gathered together in groups of three and four to discuss the explosive news excitedly.

Shaking his head helplessly, Director Xu had no choice but to go back to the office to make tea with Coach Jiang with a wry smile on his face.

"Old Xu, I don't know if I should say something or not."

After taking the tea made by Director Xu himself, Coach Jiang hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't hold back.

"Well, we have been friends for so many years, what can't we say?"

Director Xu replied casually while drinking tea.

"Old Xu, if I remember correctly, when you transferred the shares of Shencheng East Asia, you only gave Chen Ran 49% of the shares, right?"

"That's right, what's wrong?"

Hearing Coach Jiang mentioning the team shares, Director Xu froze for a moment, then put the teacup in his hand on the table.

"Is that kid Chen Ran looking for you?"

Director Xu, who has spent most of his life in the football circle, became vigilant in an instant.

"No, don't get me wrong. You are the only one we know in Shencheng East Asia, Chen Ran. He probably doesn't even know my name."

Seeing that Director Xu was about to misunderstand, Coach Jiang waved his hands again and again.

"Well, it's good that I didn't look for you. It seems that the kid is still doing things properly."

Seeing Coach Jiang's denial, Director Xu picked up the teacup on the table and took another sip. The fierce momentum that erupted just now seemed to have never appeared before.

"Then how did you remember the matter of raising the shares?"
