Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 348 More Wronged Than Dou E

Unexpectedly, Kompany, who didn't expect the little fat boy to be so strong when he came up, exchanged glances with his manager, and then looked at the little fat boy and nodded affirmatively.

"Mr. Figel, I very much hope to join the Crystal Palace club!"

"Even if our bid is not as high as that of Manchester City, would you still be willing?" Staring into Kompany's eyes, the fat man asked again.

"Yes, Monsieur Figel."

Kompany didn't dodge anything, and nodded firmly again.

Before meeting with Little Fatty Louis, he had discussed repeatedly with his agent for a long time.

Although the agent is very envious of the sky-high contract offered by the Manchester City club, Kompany still has no confidence in whether these Arabs who have just arrived are capable of running a Premier League club.

"Very good, Vincent, you have made a wise choice. Don't worry, although our offer is not as high as Manchester City's, we will definitely not be stingy."

"Thank you Mr. Figel."

"Haha, we are a family after joining Crystal Palace. It is too strange to call Mr. Figel, and my friends call me Louis."

"Okay, Luis. I'll go and tell the Hamburg club later that I just want to move to Crystal Palace and let them terminate the negotiations with the Manchester City club."

"Hahaha, good, very good! Vincent, you are very smart, I am very optimistic about you."

Seeing Kompany doing so well, Little Fatty Louis nodded in satisfaction.

Such a sensible young man is rare now.

"Louis, I have a small request, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Seeing that the little fat man was in a good mood, Kompany quickly added.

"Tell me, what else do you want? As long as it's not too much, I can agree to you." The little fat man is getting more and more pleasing to Kompany now.

"Louis, the Hamburg club is good to me. After I ask them to terminate the negotiation with the Manchester City club, can you not suppress the price too hard?"

"."

Hearing this, the little fat man couldn't laugh anymore.

Are today's young people so powerful?

Make yourself happy first, and then take the opportunity to make a request that you can't refuse, but which can also reflect his kindness.

Special meow not only achieved his goal, but also established a good reputation.

Killing two birds with one stone is terrifying!
After taking a serious look at Kompany again, Little Fatty Louis nodded slowly.

"Vincent, you are very nice, I promise you this request."

"Thank you, Louis."

Kompany smiled innocently, showing his big white teeth.

"Hahahahahaha."

When little fat Louis reported his meeting with Kompany to Chen Ran, Chen Ran laughed unkindly on the phone.

"List!"

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore."

Fearing that the little fat man would become angry, Chen Ran had no choice but to stop.

It's really shameful that a fat man who came from a family of brokers and claimed to be a transfer expert was played by a young player.

"Chen, how do you deal with Kompany's matter?"

"What should I do? Didn't you promise everything? Just do what you promised. You still have to keep the reputation of Louis Figel, and we can afford it."

"As for whether Kompany is really kind or acting, it will all be clear after he comes to Crystal Palace and get along with him for a while. If it's the former, he must be reused; if it's the latter, hehe."

"Okay, I know what to do."

With Kompany's cooperation, the remaining things will be much easier.

Although the Hamburg club was reluctant, the players themselves insisted not to go to the Manchester City club, and they could only terminate the negotiations with the Manchester City club.

Before Crystal Palace intervened, Hamburg and Manchester City had almost reached an agreement around 750 million euros.

But as soon as the Crystal Palace came, Manchester City immediately doubled the transfer fee and directly offered a price of 1500 million euros.

Originally, with Kompany's cooperation, Little Fatty Louis only planned to give Hamburg Club 1000 million euros at most.

But now he fell into the pit dug by Kompany, and with Chen Ran's consent, he finally signed a transfer agreement with Hamburg Club at a price of 1200 million euros.

When the news got back to the Manchester City club, it was said that Kardun al-Mubarak smashed the things in his office to pieces.

Manchester City, who bid 1500 million euros, lost to Crystal Palace, who bid 1200 million euros, what a shame!
At this moment, Kardun Al Mubarak deeply realized that in the football world, money is not everything.

Chen Ran, who taught the Manchester City club a little lesson, didn't take this matter to heart.

Although the season is over, he has become busier.

The annual International Champions Cup has entered the stage of intense preparations. With the growing influence of this event, major clubs are rushing to sign up for it.

Under the premise that the number of places is limited, it is a great knowledge to bring who to bring and who not to bring.

This is no longer just a matter of making money, but now it has evolved into a good opportunity to expand your network.

According to Chen Ran's plan, he wanted to push Stephen to a bigger stage like UEFA or even FIFA, and this was inseparable from the key votes in each election.

Who has these votes in their hands, and which clubs are these people closely related to.Just studying these, Chen Ran felt like his head was about to explode.

On the other hand, the new Crystal Palace Stadium, which took three years to build, is about to open. Emirates, which has invested heavily in naming the stadium, requested a grand ceremony.

They even proposed to organize a new event, named after the new stadium of Crystal Palace: the "Emirates" Cup friendly match at the Emirates Stadium.

Hearing this request, Chen Ran was almost speechless. Being too popular is also an annoyance.

After all, the time in the offseason is limited. Players have to rest and vacation. After the vacation, they have to conduct intensive training to prepare for the new season, and then go to the International Champions Cup as a warm-up match before the season. Finally, take a break and the new season will start.

This is still in the absence of international competitions such as the World Cup and the European Cup. If you encounter a major year, then the time will be even more limited.

Now Emirates Airline abruptly wanted to add another event. Although they offered a high entry bonus, Chen Ran really didn't want the money.

Seeing that Chen Ran was unwilling to hold the "Emirates" Cup, Tim Clark, the president of Emirates Airlines, even went to the Crystal Palace Club to lobby.

"Tim, is it necessary for you to come to me for a friendly match?"

Chen Ran looked at Tim Clark curiously. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

"Hehe, Chen, the airline company is too busy to finish. Do you think I want to come?"

"Oh? Then it seems that you have a reason to come."

"That's right, do you know who the real boss behind the Manchester City club is?"

"I know, isn't it the Abu Dhabi consortium in the United Arab Emirates?"

"Then do you know the relationship between the Emirate of Dubai and the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, the boss behind our Emirates Airline?"

"Tim, don't go around the bush, just speak up if you have anything to say."

Chen Ran frowned slightly impatiently, feeling a little ominous.

"Ahem, it's good for you to know the following words, and don't spread them to the outside world."

"Then don't tell me, I don't want to know."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ran knew that nothing good happened, and quickly expressed that he was not interested in intervening.

"Chen, you are already in the game now, and you can't hide even if you want to."

"."

Chen Ran looked at Tim Clark speechlessly, and already guessed in his heart that the other party wanted to say
what.

"Chen, the United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven emirates, of which Abu Dhabi and Dubai are the most powerful."

"The president of the UAE is the Sheikh of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and the Prime Minister is the Sheikh of the Emirate of Dubai."

"Over the years, Dubai has been well-known all over the world. When people mention the United Arab Emirates, Dubai is the first thing people think of. What many people don't know is that Abu Dhabi is actually the capital of the United Arab Emirates."

"Now, the decision-makers in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi have decided to reverse this situation, and that's why the Abu Dhabi consortium's acquisition of Manchester City happened."

"As far as I know, you previously rejected the proposal of the Abu Dhabi consortium to acquire the Crystal Palace Club. And we Emirates, the airline under the flag of the Emirates of Dubai, is the largest sponsor of your Crystal Palace Club."

"Chen, with all due respect, in the eyes of the Abu Dhabi executives, you have already taken sides."

"."

Seeing Tim Clark's half-smile expression, Chen Ran really wanted to punch him in the face.

It is no wonder that after the Abu Dhabi consortium entered the Manchester City club, it immediately attacked the Crystal Palace club. It turns out that there are such complicated reasons behind it.

Chen Ran felt that he was more wronged than Dou E. He was a native of China and ran a Premier League club. How could he be involved in the internal competition of an Arab country?

"Chen, I am here this time to persuade you to hold the 'Emirates' Cup. Now that you have been involved, there is no way out. The Abu Dhabi consortium has acquired the Manchester City club. Are you willing to give them the championship trophy? ?”

"Those chiefs value the huge publicity effect of your Crystal Palace club. As long as you cooperate well, they will still be generous. For outsiders like us, everything is fake, and the most important thing is to earn money, isn't it? "

Seeing Tim Clark talking eloquently in front of him, Chen Ran had to admit that this guy did have two talents to sit as the president of Emirates Airline.

"Tim, you made it. Go back and tell your bosses that I'm going to hold this 'Emirates' Cup as planned and make the first game part of the opening of the new stadium."

"Haha, that's right. Chen, it's the same sentence, no matter how those Arabs fight, we just need to make money."

With the addition of an "Emirates" Cup event, Chen Ran had to readjust the itinerary of Crystal Palace during the interseason.

Chen Ran was straightforward, and directly pushed the matter to Stephen, while he himself called the fat little Louis, who had just returned to London after finishing Kompany's transfer, to the office.

"Louis, I'll give you two more tasks."

"Oh? Chen, who are you looking at again?"

Louis, who was excited when the transfer was mentioned, looked at Chen Ran with bright eyes and asked.

"Don't get excited, this time it's just two young players."

"Young players? Chen, have you found a treasure again?" Louis now has no doubts about Chen Ran's vision in selecting players.

"That's right. So, don't make a fuss and do it quietly, understand?"

"I understand all this, please tell me the specific situation."

"One is a Dutch kid born in 1991 named Van Dijk. He is now working as a dishwasher in a restaurant called Oncle Jean in his hometown of Breda. You don't want to show up with this kid in person and notify the Willem II Club to sign him. come down."

"Okay, I see, is there another one?"

"The other child was also born in 1991, a Belgian named De Bruyne, who is now playing in the youth team of the Belgian club Genk."

"You should also let the William II Club contact this kid first. If he is unwilling to go to William II, then you will come forward in the name of the Crystal Palace Club, understand?"

"Understood, you are afraid of being yelled at by a lion like Kompany a few years ago."

"It's good to understand. By the way, is there anything unusual about our players recently?"

"The players are alright. It's just that their agents are getting more active one by one, either in contact with this club or that club."

"In other words, no players have been found to come forward in person yet?"

"Yes, but if they keep talking like this, I'm afraid something will happen sooner or later."

"Well, that's a really big problem and the momentum has to be nipped in the bud. So, Luis, you send a message to the agents of these players. Just say that because of the team's excellent results these two seasons, the club is preparing to Give everyone a raise and renew their contracts."

"Renew the contract with all salary increases? Chen, are you crazy?"

The voice suddenly increased, and Louis' eyeballs almost popped out.

This is not a few years ago, when the salary of Crystal Palace players was very low, and the overall salary increase was not much.

If all the players in the Crystal Palace were given a salary increase now, it would mean that the Crystal Palace club would have to spend tens of millions of euros in additional expenses every year. The little fat man was immediately overwhelmed by Chen Ran's generous spending.

"That's right. You know about Ronaldo, Kaka, and Messi. Do you think that if only the three of them get a raise, will the others have no objections?"

"But we don't need to be so anxious, right? Our players' contracts still have at least three years left. We can definitely talk slowly so that we can achieve our goal at a lower price."

"Louis, this is indeed a good idea. However, let me ask you, if you were a player, would you prefer a generous boss or a caring boss?"
