Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 347 Revenge
"Messi's father? Hehe, it's time to come."

Chen Ran was mentally prepared for this result.

What happened in the previous life told Chen Ran that this Jorge Messi is not a good talker, and the Barcelona club has suffered a lot from him.

Greeted by Little Fatty Louis, Chen Ran met Messi's father in the office.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Jorge Messi didn't make any detours, and straightforwardly told the news that Manchester City had offered Messi an annual salary of 1500 million euros.

"Mr. Chen, Leo told me that he is very happy at the Crystal Palace club. If possible, he still hopes to stay here and play football."

Jorge Messi looked at Chen Ran with a smile. Now that he has an offer from Manchester City, he is full of confidence.

"Really? That's great. I also hope that Messi can stay in Crystal Palace until he retires."

Seeing Chen Ran going around in circles and not answering, Jorge Messi simply asked a question.

"Mr. Chen, how should I respond to Manchester City's offer? After all, the annual salary of 1500 million euros is three times that of Messi, which is really hard to refuse."

"Jorge, how to reply is your right. However, I need to remind you that Messi only moved to Crystal Palace last year, and his contract with Crystal Palace Club still has four full years. As long as I disagree, Manchester City Club It doesn't matter how high the price is."

Regarding Jorge Messi's use of the Manchester City club's offer as a bargaining chip to threaten him, Chen Ran said that I will not spoil you, and directly sent Jorge Messi back.

In order to cope with today's situation, Chen Ran started planning early.

Not long after he entered the Crystal Palace Club, Chen Ran has been trying to introduce Messi from Barcelona Club.

Not only because of Messi's outstanding skills, but also for the balance of the Crystal Palace club team.

In the case of already owning Ronaldo, Chen Ran still wants to introduce Messi, the only one who can be compared with Ronaldo in the future. One of the important purposes is to avoid being threatened in the future.

Like Barcelona in the previous life, because only Messi has one thigh in the team, the club is completely in a passive position, and can only let it get whatever it wants, and satisfy Messi's father's lion's mouth time and time again.

In the end, I couldn't hold it anymore. With huge debts, we could only let Messi transfer freely, not to mention how miserable the end would be.

Chen Ran, who has learned the painful lessons of Barcelona, ​​started planning a few years ago and paid a huge price for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, just to be able to tell Jorge Messi confidently today: at the Crystal Palace club, Lao Tzu has the final say.

"."

Jorge Messi was dumbfounded, and the coffee he wanted to take a sip stopped at his mouth.

No, this is completely different from the script he expected.

Shouldn't Chen Ran discuss with himself politely, ask for the quotation he wants, and then try his best to start bargaining?

Why did you just flip the table before you even started talking?

Did I say something wrong just now?

For a moment, Jorge Messi, who fell into severe self-doubt, quickly recalled what he had just said.But after much deliberation, it seems that there is nothing too much?

"Mr. Erchen, I have no other meaning. You see, although Leo has only been at the Crystal Palace club for one season, his performance is obvious to all. In the Champions League final, Leo's lore goal also helped the team succeed. The defending Champions League champion, isn't he?"

Negotiations are like this, momentum is very important.

As soon as Chen Ran was tough, Jorge Messi immediately softened his posture.

There is no way, what Chen Ran said is the truth.

Messi still has four years left in his contract with Crystal Palace Club. If Chen Ran is really angered and put Messi on the bench for four years, then Messi, who is just in his early twenties, no matter how talented he is, will be abolished.

But for the Crystal Palace club, it's not that it's impossible to leave Messi.

This season, in order to track his son's performance, Jorge Messi has watched every Crystal Palace match.

In the first half of last season, except for some games that were not taken seriously such as the League Cup, Messi was able to enter the starting lineup.In other games, Messi came off the bench more, and Crystal Palace's results in these games are also very good.

It wasn't until the second half of the season when the Crystal Palace was plagued by injuries and the staff was disorganized that Messi initially established his position as the main force.

In addition, the Crystal Palace club can now be said to be full of stars. Although Jorge Messi has full confidence in his son, he dare not say that Messi must be stronger than that Ronaldo.

With the combination of many factors, Jorge Messi suddenly found that he seemed to have no bargaining chips other than the offer from Manchester City.

Seeing that Jorge Messi's clothes were soft, Chen Ran smiled slightly. This is what he wanted.

Since the introduction of Messi last year, he deliberately put Messi on the bench at the beginning. On the one hand, it was to appease the emotions of the old players; on the other hand, it was to leave an impression on Messi and his father. It's not that he has to.

Now it seems that the foreshadowing that was planted at the beginning has now blossomed and borne fruit.

"Haha, Jorge, I have seen Messi's performance. Don't worry, I, Chen Ran, am not a stingy person. I will give corresponding rewards to those who make contributions to the Crystal Palace club."

"It's just that the amount of this reward is up to me. I hate being blackmailed very much. If someone insists on trying it, I don't mind making him pay the price. Do you understand?"

Looking at Chen Ran's smiling face, Jorge Messi only felt a chill coming from his back.

"Gudu."

After swallowing, Jorge Messi forced a smile and hurriedly explained to Chen Ran.

"Understood, I understand. Mr. Chen, don't worry, I'm here today to report to you about the small moves of the Manchester City club."

"Well, it's good to understand. Jorge, go back and tell Leo to play well in Crystal Palace with peace of mind. I won't treat him badly."

Seeing Jorge Messi come in aggressively and leave in disgrace, little fat Luis and Stephen both laughed at the same time.

"Chen, you are really amazing! This Jorge Messi is not your opponent at all."

Sitting on the sidelines and watching Chen Ran domineeringly control the initiative of the negotiation completely in his own hands, pressing Jorge Messi to the point where he has no power to fight back, little fat Louis couldn't help but dance and shout loudly. Excited.

"Chen, isn't it a bit too strong for you to treat Jorge Messi like this? After all, we will always talk to him about Messi's contract renewal in the future, unless you don't plan to renew Messi's contract."

Although Stephen was also full of admiration for Chen Ran's performance just now, but as the CEO of the Crystal Palace Club, he considered things more comprehensively than Little Fatty Louis.

"Stephen, a part-time family agent like Jorge Messi is completely different from a professional agent like Mendes, so the way to deal with the two should be different."

"Agents like Mendes have many players under their umbrella, so they will not easily offend the football club for a certain player. For more business in the future, it is easier for them to make compromises and concessions."

"And brokers like Jorge Messi who are family members, they usually only have one client, they don't have rich professional knowledge, and they don't think so long-term."

"Plus that every penny a player earns is basically equivalent to a penny more for their family, so it's hard to get them to compromise."

"So, I have to occupy a strong position from the very beginning, and kill their wrong thoughts in the cradle."

"As for the renewal of the contract in the future, as long as Messi's performance is good enough, I will not be stingy with the money. However, I must establish a concept for them now, that is, the salary increase is okay, but how and how much? , can only be decided by me.”

"Chen, you are too handsome. If I were a woman, I would definitely snatch you away from Cheryl."

Fatty Louis' blood was boiling with excitement, and he pretended to rush over to kiss Chen Ran.

"roll!"

Although they temporarily caught Kardun Al Mubarak's three strikes, the Crystal Palace club will also have to renew the contracts of the players in the team with salary increases.

The thought of adding a large amount of expenditure out of thin air made Chen Ran's teeth itch with hatred.

He is not like those oil tycoons, the money is all his hard earned money.

However, after careful study, Chen Ran found that the current Manchester City club really did not have any attractive players, and even if he wanted to take revenge, he would have no way to do so.

However, at this time, a transfer rumor brought by little fat Louis caught Chen Ran's attention.

As Chen Ran's right-hand man, intelligence collection is one of the tasks that Louis is responsible for.Especially when the summer transfer period was approaching, the little fat man would come to report the latest transfer news to Chen Ran almost every day.

"Chen, there is a transfer news about Manchester City, I think you might be interested."

"Oh? About Manchester City? Then tell me the specific situation."

Hearing the name of Manchester City, Chen Ran was immediately aroused.

"It is said that the Manchester City club is very interested in the Belgian player Kompany from Hamburg, Germany. Now the two sides are in contact, and the possibility of success is not small."

"Company?"

"Yes. Chen, when Kompany was still in Anderlecht, Belgium, you asked me to contact him. It's just that the Anderlecht Lions opened their mouths at that time, and our central defender position is not lacking. In the end, we didn’t continue the conversation.”

Fatty Louis was quite impressed with Kompany. At that time, Crystal Palace was not as rich and powerful as it is now.

Anderlecht's asking price was too harsh, and Chen Ran, who had a habit of picking up cheap ones, didn't want to be taken advantage of and finally gave up.

However, the situation now is completely different from before.

Kompany may not be an indispensable player for Crystal Palace, but for Manchester City, he will be their main central defender and captain for the next ten years.

As a reborn, Chen Ran is very clear that Kompany has made an indelible contribution to Manchester City from a mid-lower team to a Premier League champion.

That being the case, Chen Ran, who was worried that he would not find a chance to take revenge on the Manchester City club, of course would not stand by.

"Louis, you go to Hamburg, Germany, and bring me this Kompany back to Crystal Palace. Understand?"

"Understood, promise to complete the task."

Fatty Louis immediately understood what Chen Ran meant, and laughed tacitly, and then he asked another question.

"Chen, what's the budget?"

"Within 2000 million euros, you can decide for yourself."

"OK!"

It has to be said that the current influence of the Crystal Palace Club in football is indeed in full swing.

When Fatty Louis made a call to Kompany's agent, the Hamburg Club and Manchester City Club, which had already entered substantive negotiations, immediately entered the intermission.

On the one hand, Kompany is more interested in joining the championship team Crystal Palace, on the other hand, the Hamburg club also hopes to add a strong competitor to Manchester City so as to get more transfer fees.

This situation was immediately reported to Kardun Al Mubarak by the staff of the Manchester City club in charge of transfer negotiations in Hamburg.

"Crystal Palace's counterattack was really quick."

Hearing the report from his subordinates, Kardun Al Mubarak immediately guessed that this was Chen Ran's revenge.

"Kompani at all costs! Better than the rich, we haven't lost yet."

The Manchester City negotiators authorized by Kardun Al Mubarak immediately doubled their offer.

Whether it is the transfer fee or the annual salary for Kompany, everything has doubled, and the spirit is soaring.

At this time, little fat Louis flew to Hamburg without any haste.He met Kompany in person after getting the agreement of the Hamburg club.

"Haha, hello Vincent, do you remember me? We met once a few years ago."

In terms of communication skills, Louis, a social bull, has never been afraid of anyone.

"Of course I remember. I was still in Anderlecht. It's a pity that I couldn't transfer to Crystal Palace that time, otherwise I would be a member of the championship team now."

Kompany was also impressed by the little fat man in front of him.

As the Crystal Palace reached the peak step by step, Fatty, the sports manager in charge of the transfer affairs of the Crystal Palace, has also become a well-known big shot in the football circle.

"Vincent, we are also old acquaintances, so I won't go around in circles. I am here in Hamburg this time to represent Chen and the Crystal Palace Club to officially invite you to join. I wonder if you are interested?"

As the status of Crystal Palace continues to rise, the little fat man is now the target of many agents and players outside, and he has a lot of aura.

Trying to recall the scene where Chen Ran dealt with Jorge Messi, the fat man smiled slightly.

"Yes or No?"
