Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 345 It's time to fight for acting skills

Seeing that she woke up Caroline, Kaka turned around and smiled apologetically.

"That's right, I didn't know how to choose for a while, and it woke you up. I'm sorry, my dear."

"That's all right. But, dear, what's on your mind?"

Seeing that the two of them had no intention of continuing to sleep, Caroline simply sat up and turned on the bedside lamp, and then got into Kaka's arms again.

"What do I think? Darling, you know that I'm not very social, so I don't want to change often. Because then I have to constantly adapt to new environments, which is a huge annoyance for me. .”

"Then don't transfer, the most important thing is for you to be happy."

Caroline could think about it.

Her mother is the general agent of the famous luxury brand Dior in Brazil. Caroline, who has never been short of money since she was a child, does not feel much about the annual salary of 1500 million euros offered by Manchester City.

What's more, since moving to London with Kaka, the Crystal Palace Club wives organized by Cheryl often hold various activities together, which allows Caroline to quickly integrate into her new life in London.

And in this Crystal Palace wives group, most of the members are either celebrities or supermodels, and they have an endless common language with Caroline, who grew up in the fashion circle since she was a child.

Even, they are ready to jointly set up a clothing design company.Even the brand name has been thought out, it is called "Crystal".

It is conceivable that Caroline, who is studying fashion design and is about to show off her talents, is willing to let Kaka leave Crystal Palace at this time and transfer to Manchester, an industrial city with no fashion atmosphere?

It has to be said that the foreshadowing that Chen Ran planted at the beginning is now finally time to bear fruit.

With the support of his wife Caroline, Kaka finally felt better.

"But what my father said is not unreasonable. A player's career is very short. I should accumulate more wealth for my children."

"Isn't it just money? I'll come back to find Cheryl and ask her to tell Chen that I'll just give you a raise."

Caroline curled her lips in disdain. She looked down on Kaka's father, Bosco, who only had money in his eyes, but it was inconvenient for her to talk about it because of Kaka.

"Isn't that bad? I don't want it anymore. If I get rejected, it will be too embarrassing. How can I get along with Chen in the future?"

For Chen Ran, a friend who has no bossy airs, Kaka still cherishes it very much. He doesn't want these messy things to destroy the relationship between the two.

"It's okay, I'm not asking you to talk about it. I'll come forward to find Cheryl and tell you the news about Manchester City's offer to you. I believe Chen will know what to do."

Caroline is full of confidence. In terms of communication skills, she has been in the fashion circle since she was a child, and she can't compare with ten Kaka.

"Well, thank you, dear."

"Why? I helped you solve such a big problem, are you just talking about it?"

"My dear, why don't I give you another child!"

"Hate."

Also using his father as an agent, Messi's father, Jorge Messi, also received news from the Manchester City club.

Manchester City's side is flat, and they also offered Messi an annual salary of 1500 million euros.

And Messi's current annual salary in Crystal Palace is the same as that of Ronaldo and Kaka, only 500 million euros.

This time, Jorge Messi was also tempted.

"Leo, come out. The Manchester City club asked someone to bring me a message, saying that as long as you are willing to join Manchester City, you can get an annual salary of 1500 million euros, plus bonuses."

Messi, who had just established a relationship with his childhood sweetheart girlfriend Antonella Rocuso, reluctantly hung up the overseas phone call with his girlfriend and sat down in front of his father.

Hearing the figure of 1500 million euros, Messi was slightly taken aback.

All he was thinking about was going back to Argentina to spend vacation with his girlfriend, but he didn't pay much attention to the Manchester City Club, which had been making a lot of noise recently.

"Dad, what do you mean by 1500 million euros? Is the offer from Manchester City Club?"

Unlike Kaka, who was born in a wealthy family and had no worries about food and clothing since childhood.

In order to treat Messi's dwarfism, their family has been under great financial pressure.

It wasn't until Messi came to prominence in Barcelona that this situation was reversed.

Therefore, Messi is more sensitive to money figures than Kaka.

"Yes, it seems that this Manchester City club is very sincere. Leo, I plan to contact them, what do you think?"

Although Messi is not yet 21 years old, Jorge Messi respects his son's opinion very much.

"Father, I just transferred to Crystal Palace last year. The boss, the coach, and my teammates have treated me well. Now I only have to stay for a year and I have to transfer again. Isn't that too good?"

Although he is very excited about the annual salary of 1500 million euros, Messi has not been completely blinded by money.

"It's just a normal transfer. It's not like the Crystal Palace club can't get the transfer fee. Isn't that what professional football is like?"

"What's more, the Manchester City club has already offered you a transfer fee of 8000 million euros to the Crystal Palace club. If you bargain, maybe the Crystal Palace club can get [-] million euros."

"In just one year, you can bring so much transfer fee to the Crystal Palace club, and you are worthy of them."

Like Kaka's father Bosco, Jorge Messi obviously couldn't resist the temptation of an annual salary of 1500 million euros.

After a moment of silence, Messi still shook his head.

"Dad, after all, the Manchester City club has just changed to a new owner. Although they are rich, it is still unknown whether they can manage the club well. I still prefer to stay here at Crystal Palace."

"So you don't want an annual salary of 1500 million euros?"

"Gudu!"

Messi swallowed, it would be a lie to say that he was not moved.

However, he has experienced so many hardships since he was a child, which made Messi become much precocious than his peers.

"Dad, do you think we can take advantage of this opportunity of Manchester City's offer to ask the boss for a salary increase?"

"Well, you can try it. But you only transferred here last year, and you asked for a salary increase after only one year. Your boss may not agree."

Although the time of contact was not long, Jorge Messi knew very well that Chen Ran was definitely not as talkative as his appearance.

"Then let's try. Didn't it mean that the Manchester City club also offered Ronaldo and Kaka an offer? It is estimated that they will also ask the boss for a salary increase, so that we will not appear too abrupt."

"Well, this is a good way. Our first choice is to stay in Crystal Palace, but if your boss is unwilling to give you a salary increase in the end, then I will contact the Manchester City club."

"Okay, dad, then do as you said first."

It has to be said that Kardun Al Mubarak is indeed not incompetent.The series of combined punches he punched after he took office really caused Chen Ran a lot of trouble.

In the Crystal Palace club, looking at Mendes who was sitting in front of him with a smile all over his face, Chen Ran curled his lips secretly.

As expected, this guy came over to take advantage of the fire.

"Jorge, why do you have time to come to me today? According to common sense, you should stay with Mourinho now. Real Madrid is a big fat sheep, plus Mourinho Rinho's cooperation, you won't just hand it over to others, will you?"

"Haha, Chen, you're still so funny. We're old friends. We haven't seen each other for a while. I want to see you too."

Mendes took out his cigar slowly, gestured to Chen Ran, and then smoked it on his own.

Seeing Mendes with a cigar in his mouth, looking like a mafia boss, Chen Ran gave him an annoyed look.

"Come on, you are a busy person. Especially when the summer transfer window is about to open, you should be busy flying around. Tell me, what do you want to come to me?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you."

Mendes shook his head with a smile and didn't continue to circle around.

"After Jose's Real Madrid wanted to introduce Chris, now the Manchester City club has also offered Chris a sky-high contract."

"So, I came here today to ask you what you think, whether you plan to sell Chris for cash, or let Chris stay and continue to play for the Crystal Palace club."

Although everything was within his expectations, Chen Ran couldn't help but frown when he heard Mendes' words.

What these brokers are best at is fanning the flames and taking advantage of the fire.Now that Mendes has seized the opportunity, I am afraid that Crystal Palace will have to bleed a little this time.

"It is absolutely impossible to sell someone. Chris is not for sale. I plan to let him play in Crystal Palace until he retires."

"Oh? Really? Chen, thank you very much for your attention to Chris. However, Chris now only has an annual salary of 500 million euros, while the Manchester City club has offered him an annual salary of 1500 million euros. This gap Is it a bit too big?"

Hearing Mendez's straightforward words, the corners of Chen Ran's mouth could not help but twitch slightly, this guy who wants money.

"Tell me, how much do you want?"

Now that Mendes has made the matter clear, Chen Ran is too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

"Manchester City asked for 1500 million euros. I discussed it with Chris. The Crystal Palace only needs to increase his annual salary to 1000 million euros. How about it, Chen, our request is not too much, right?"

As Chen Ran said, the reason why Mendes had a showdown with Chen Ran when he came up was because he was really busy now, and he didn't have time to stay in London and slowly argue with Chen Ran.

As the head coach of Real Madrid Club, Mourinho now has a huge say in Real Madrid's signings.

And the Real Madrid club, which is rich and powerful and has always been known for its generous spending, is the fat that every agent keeps an eye on.

If it weren't for Ronaldo being his most important player, Mendes would not have left Madrid at all, and now he can't wait to stay in the Real Madrid club 24 hours a day.

As for Mendes' current state, Chen Ran had already guessed very closely.

Don't look at Mendes putting on a confident and calm look now, but he doesn't know how anxious he is in his heart.

Since Mendes wanted to act, Chen Ran didn't plan to expose it, so everyone just acted together, and see who can afford it.

Anyway, the contract between Ronaldo and Crystal Palace still has three years. As long as Chen Ran doesn't nod, he can't go anywhere.

Although Chen Ran was already mentally prepared to hemorrhage and give Ronaldo and the others a salary increase, how and how much should be added cannot be decided by these agents.

"Jorge, I can tell you frankly that I agree to give Chris a salary increase, but an annual salary of 1000 million euros is unlikely."

Seeing that Mendes was about to speak, Chen Ran reached out his hand to signal.

"Don't worry, just listen to me first."

"If I give Chris an annual salary of 1000 million euros, what about Kaka and Messi? You must know that Manchester City Club has also offered them an offer. Do I also give them an annual salary of 1000 million euros?"

"If I increase the annual salary of all three of them to 1000 million euros, how will the other players react? Will they also ask me for a substantial salary increase?"

"So, this matter is no longer just a question of giving Chris a salary increase, but will have a huge impact on the salary structure of the entire Crystal Palace club."

"Jorge, as a senior agent, do you think the situations I mentioned are very likely to happen?"

"."

Mendes looked at Chen Ran speechlessly, cursed inwardly, and knew that this little fox was not so easy to deal with.

Although what Chen Ran said is true, does this have anything to do with him?

He is just Ronaldo's agent, not the CEO of the Crystal Palace club.

As long as Ronaldo's salary can rise, what about others, does it matter how the Crystal Palace club is?

Of course, Mendes can only slander these words in his heart, and of course he can't say that on the surface.

"Chen, your worry is indeed justified. However, you can bring the Crystal Palace Club from an unknown Championship team to where it is today. This little trouble is not worth mentioning to you."

"Haha, Jorge, you are really overrated. However, although this matter is indeed not difficult for me, I still need some time to deal with it."

"On the one hand, let Stephen and the others calculate the operating costs of the Crystal Palace club and see how much wages the club can afford."

"On the other hand, I also want to find out among the players to see how much salary increase everyone can accept."

"After these things have results, and after comprehensive consideration, I can tell you how much I can give Chris a raise."

Looking into Mendez's eyes, Chen Ran told him the facts one by one, and reasoned, not to mention how sincere.
