Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 381 Can You Bring My Dad?
Manchester City announced that they have formally reached an agreement with Real Madrid.

Van Nistelrooy, van der Vaart, Mahamadou Diarra, Cannavaro, Drenthe and Gago and other six players transferred to Manchester City.

So many Real Madrid players joined Manchester City at the same time, which immediately made the Manchester City club nicknamed "Little Real Madrid" and "Real Madrid Second Team".

Not only that, they also announced the introduction of midfielder Vieira from Crystal Palace.

Suddenly, the Manchester City club surpassed many giants in one fell swoop and became the brightest star in this winter transfer period.

Although the specific transfer amount has not been announced, there are gossip rumors that during this winter transfer period, the Manchester City club spent a total of nearly [-] million euros in transfer funds.

"If you count the investment in the summer transfer period, the Abu Dhabi consortium has spent nearly [-] million euros. It's really rich!"

Looking at the newspaper reports about Manchester City's large-scale investment, Little Fatty Louis sighed sincerely.

"That's a good thing."

Chen Ran is in a very good mood, and this situation is exactly what he wants to see.

"Manchester City spent so much money this time, no matter how rich the Abu Dhabi consortium is, it will be difficult to make big moves in a short period of time."

"Based on the players they bought, they won't be able to pose a big threat to us for at least three years."

While drinking coffee leisurely, Chen Ran commented on Manchester City's transfer operation.

"That guy Raiola made a lot of money this time."

Fatty Louis said sourly with a look of envy.

"Hehe, Luis, you don't have to envy Raiola. Prepare your money and wait for my notice. Then we will rush into the stock market to buy bottoms and earn much more than that fat man. Do you know?"

"Hey, I understand. Chen, I'll just wait for your news."

Just two days after the game against West Ham United, on January 1, Crystal Palace ushered in the No.31 round of the Premier League.

This time, they will host West Bromwich Albion.

Due to the short rest time between the two games, Chen Ran sent a starting lineup mainly of substitute players in this game.

Fortunately, West Bromwich Albion's strength is relatively weak. With the goals of Cavani, Cesc Fabregas and Alves, Crystal Palace defeated their opponents 3-0 at home.

While getting three points, Chen Ran also got a "Hawkeye Guardian Card" from the system.

In the other games of this round of the Premier League, there is another focus game that attracts much attention.

Liverpool sat at Anfield to face Chelsea. As a result, they won their opponent 2-0 in one fell swoop and continued to consolidate their second position in the standings.

Manchester United beat Everton 1-0 at Old Trafford, while Arsenal lost again as they were held to a 0-0 draw by West Ham United at Highbury.

And Manchester City, which shocked the world just now, failed to win a two-game winning streak after winning the last round of the game. They lost 0:1 to Stoke City in the away game.

With the end of this round of the Premier League, the time has officially entered February 2009.

According to Chen Ran's memory, as the leading indicator of the global stock market and the center of this financial tsunami, the lowest point of the US stock market probably appeared in March.

However, Chen Ran's target Penguin shares did not hit a new low.

Since the end of last year, Penguin shares have been fluctuating sideways at low levels.

Chen Ran's capital is not small. If he wants to get enough cheap chips, he can only enter the market in advance and buy in little by little quietly, so as not to startle the snake.

For this reason, Chen Ran called Stephen and little fat Louis to his office.

"Guys, is the money ready?"

"Chen, are you ready to make a move?"

Fatty Louis' eyes suddenly brightened. He has been saving money recently, and even reduced the number of times he went to nightclubs.

"That's right, for the sake of safety, I plan to enter the venue early."

"Erchen, can you bring my dad with you?"

At this time, Stephen suddenly asked hesitantly.

"Huh? Stephen, have you reconciled with your father?"

Before Chen Ran could reply, little fat Louis reacted first, looking at Stephen curiously.

"Ahem, that's right. Chen, is it okay?"

Stephen first glared at the little fat man angrily, and then looked at Chen Ran expectantly.

"Stephen, if it's just the Marquis of Bath, it's fine. However, it's best not to let more people know. After all, the greater the amount of funds, the more difficult it is to operate. Do you understand?"

Chen Ran frowned slightly, he was making money by taking advantage of his rebirth, and it was a business that won't lose any money.

Over time, this opportunity is used once less.

It's fine to bring his friends around to make money together, he is not interested in helping those irrelevant people make money.

However, Chen Ran finally decided to agree.

Although it was a deal between him and the Marquis of Bath, the other party did help him a lot.

Coupled with the existence of Stephen, it is unreasonable not to agree.

"Chen, thank you, I will tell my dad to keep quiet."

Stephen first thanked Chen Ran, and then explained.

"My dad suffered a lot from the financial tsunami. I even heard a few days ago that he planned to sell the current castle estate."

"OMG! No way? Stephen, that's where your family has lived for hundreds of years."

It was still little fat Louis. This guy gave a weird cry, which startled Chen Ran.

"Hehe, what's so strange about this? Do you know how expensive it is to maintain the castle every year? Many old nobles can't afford to keep the castle and plan to sell it."

Stephen spread his hands helplessly, the current aristocrats are no longer the former aristocrats.

There are not a few people who are beautiful on the surface but struggling behind the scenes.

"Chen, hehe, my dad also lost a lot of money in this financial tsunami. See, can you bring my dad along too?"

Seeing that Chen Ran agreed to Stephen's request, little fat Louis rolled his eyes, and immediately approached Chen Ran.

"leave me alone."

Chen Ran directly stretched out his hand and pushed away the fat face of little fat Louis who approached him.

Damn, this bastard is taking advantage of the fire.

Chen Ran curled his lips secretly in his heart, who made him agree to Stephen.

If Louis is rejected at this time, wouldn't it be clear that the bowl of water is not level, and it will plant a huge hidden danger in the relationship between the three of them?
"It's the same with you, you can only bring your father alone, you know?"

Chen Ran gave Little Fatty Louis a helpless look.

"Hey, I know, I know."

With Chen Ran's consent, Stephen found the Marquis of Bath excitedly and reported the good news.

However, the Marquis of Bath's reaction was far beyond Stephen's expectations.

"Stephen, do you mean that you want me to hand over the money to Chen Ran?"

After taking a sip of red wine, the Marquis of Bath glanced at Stephen.

"Yes, father."

"Stephen, I admit that Chen Ran is a good player in running a football club, but you won't tell me that he is also a financial expert?"

"Well, that's the truth."

Seeing the disbelieving expression of the Marquis of Bath, Stephen also felt very helpless.

If he hadn't experienced it himself, he himself thought it would sound ridiculous.

"Fact? Let me listen to something you say that can prove that he is a financial master."

"Okay. Father, I don't need to say more about how harmful the financial tsunami is. I only want to say one thing, that is, Chen Ran took me and Louis and sold all the stocks in his hand before the stock market crashed. Not only Instead of losing money, I made a lot of money.”

"Oh? Are you telling the truth?"

At this moment, the Marquis of Bath suddenly became interested.Putting down the red wine glass in his hand, he sat up straight from the sofa.

"Exactly!"

"I want to see the transaction records."

The old fox, the Marquess of Bath, would not easily believe Stephen just because he was his son.

"Uh, we handed over the money to Chen Ran to operate. I don't have any transaction records here."

"OMG! You handed over the money to Chen Ran? Are you not afraid that Chen Ran will cheat the money?"

The Marquis of Bath couldn't believe his ears that his son would do such a stupid thing.

Hearing that the Marquis of Bath suspected Chen Ran, Stephen quit immediately.

"Father, what are you talking about? Chen Ran is not that kind of person!"

"At the beginning, he offered to sign a loan agreement with us, and took away the money from me and Louis at an annual interest rate of 10%. But when he returned it to us, he gave more than double the profit."

"Actively sign a loan agreement? More than double the profit?"

Hearing these two key words, the Marquis of Bath's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Yes, father. Chen Ran was not willing to accept foreign funds at first. He agreed after I told you that you lost a lot of money in the financial tsunami and planned to sell the castle."

"Bastard! Who told you to tell such a shameful thing?"

The Marquis of Bath flushed with anger.

It's really meow, it's true that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles!

"Chen Ran is my good friend, not an outsider. Besides, if I don't say that, he won't agree."

The Marquis of Bath angrily didn't have a regular meeting with Stephen for a long time.

"Is he really a master at playing stocks?"

In the quiet room, the voice of the Marquis of Bath suddenly came out again.

"Anyway, I followed him to make money in the financial tsunami."

"I want to sign the agreement too!"

"no problem."

While Stephen was discussing this matter with the Marquis of Bath, on the other side, little fat Stephen couldn't wait to make an international call to his father Juan Figel.

Similar to the situation of Stephen and the Marquis of Bath, little fat Louis' father, Juan Figel, did not believe that Chen Ran would have such abilities at first.

However, after hearing that Chen Ran was willing to sign a loan agreement with them, Juan Figel finally agreed to give it a try.

After all, in the worst case, you can get 10% interest.

With giants such as the Crystal Palace Club and the Galaxy Football Group, Juan Figel is not worried that Chen Ran will not be able to lose money.

Chen Ran didn't know that Stephen and Little Fatty Louis tried their best to persuade their fathers. If he knew, he wished that the two old foxes disagreed.

Although he decided to enter the market early, Chen Ran handed over all the real operations to professional traders hired with high salaries.

As for himself, he put all his energy on the upcoming No. 20 five rounds of the Premier League.

This time, Crystal Palace will go to Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea.

The current Chelsea, who have been overtaken by Manchester United after losing to Liverpool, are currently ranked fourth in the Premier League.

Not to mention the championship, even the Champions League places for next season are already in jeopardy.

Coach Ancelotti's days have not been easy recently. There are gossip rumors that Chelsea's boss Abramovich is very dissatisfied with Ancelotti's coaching performance and wants to replace him.

London, Chelsea FC, Carlo Ancelotti's office.

Seeing the sudden appearance of CEO Peter Kenyon, who hadn't come to his place for a long time, Ancelotti's heart skipped a beat.

"Peter, do you have any instructions from the boss when you come here today?"

Seeing Ancelotti's directness, Peter Kenyon was stunned for a moment, which made many of his previous preparations useless.

"Carlo, don't put too much pressure on you. Although the boss is very dissatisfied with the team's current results, he doesn't mean to replace you immediately."

Ancelotti shook his head and smiled wryly, are you here to comfort me?

"So, at least until the end of the season, I'm safe?"

"Unless Chelsea lose their qualification for the Champions League next season."

After hesitating for a while, Peter Kenyon finally decided to tell the truth.

"Okay, I see. It seems that the boss is quite patient with me."

Ancelotti smiled self-deprecatingly.

Frankly speaking, Ancelotti himself knows that with the strength of Chelsea's current lineup, this result cannot be justified anyway. He has long been mentally prepared to be swept out at any time.

However, even if he leaves Chelsea at the end of the season, Ancelotti is ready to play all the remaining games seriously.

One is because there are [-] rounds left in the Premier League, and it is not that there is no chance of winning the championship.

The other is to show the owners of other clubs that Ancelotti is still very professional.

In order to fight this crucial battle with Crystal Palace, Ancelotti sent all the main players who can play in his hands.

Forward Drogba, Forward Andriy Shevchenko
midfielder Andrea Pirlo

CMF Deco, CMF Ballack, CMF Lampard

Left back Ashley Cole, centre-back Terry, centre-back Carvalho, right-back Ivanovic

On the Crystal Palace side, Chen Ran still attaches great importance to Chelsea, an old rival, and has not let down his vigilance because of their current ranking.

After a week of recuperation, the Crystal Palace players are also recharging their energy.Except for Franck Ribery's absence due to injury, both Ronaldo and Vidic were put back into the starting lineup by Chen Ran.
