Chapter 87 The New Stadium

"."

Dude, you have already expressed your attitude first, what else should we say?
The big and small editors in the conference room looked at each other to confirm that there was no stunned young man here.

Therefore, the matter of cooperating with the Crystal Palace Club in youth training was successfully passed in the "Sports Weekly".

On the other side of Yangcheng, "Ford News" finally chose the second way of cooperation.

Five days after the League Cup final, Crystal Palace ushered in the No.30 round of the Championship.

After experiencing the League Cup final with Arsenal, the game temperament of the Crystal Palace players seems to have a qualitative improvement.

This feeling is inexplicable, but simply put, it is more calm, and it is not easy to panic when encountering difficulties.

As a result, Crystal Palace ushered in another wave of winning streak.

In the No.30 round of the English Championship, Crystal Palace beat Rotherham 2:1 in an away game;

In the fifth round of No.30 of the British Championship, Crystal Palace beat Reading 4:1 at home;

In the sixth round of No.30 of the English Championship, Crystal Palace beat Nottingham Forest 5:2 in an away game;
In the seventh round of No.30 of the English Championship, Crystal Palace defeated Bradford 3:1 away;
In the eighth round of No.30 in the English Championship, Crystal Palace defeated Norwich 1-0 at home, ranking No.2 in the league.

After the victory over Norwich, Crystal Palace is 2 points ahead of No. 25 Norwich, and there are only eight rounds left in the Championship.

In other words, Crystal Palace won the 2003-2004 British Championship eight rounds ahead of schedule with a wave of five consecutive victories and [-] points.

If the League Cup is added, in Chen Ran's first season in charge of Crystal Palace, he also won a small double.

After the Norwich game, the FA awarded the Championship trophy in advance.

When Southgate took over the trophy, the pleasant system prompt sounded again.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the 2003-2004 English Championship. In addition to the 100 million euro winning bonus for this game, the host will be rewarded with an additional 1000 million euro championship reward."

"The bonus for winning a single game in the Premier League next season will be increased to 200 million euros."

"The bonus for winning a single game in the UEFA Cup will be increased to 250 million euros."

"The bonus for winning a single game in the European Champions Cup will be increased to 300 million euros."

"The prize for winning a single game in the FA Cup will be increased to 100 million euros."

"The prize for winning a single game in the League Cup remains unchanged at 50 euros."

"."

Chen Ran was also speechless. With the promotion of Crystal Palace to the Premier League, the winning bonuses of other competitions have increased, but the League Cup has not moved at all. This is because the system does not even look down on the League Cup.

"In view of the outdated facilities at Selhurst Park, the home stadium of Crystal Palace, which is no longer worthy of the standards of a Premier League giant, it is recommended that the host build a brand new stadium. If the new stadium can accommodate more than [-] spectators, this system will Provide half of the construction funds."

"."

Chen Ran was speechless again. This system really does not hurt my back when I stand and talk.

Is it that easy to build a new stadium in London?
Leaving aside all kinds of complicated administrative procedures, the construction funds alone are enough to make Chen Ran go bankrupt several times.

Selhurst Park Stadium was put into use in 1924, and it has been a full 80 years.

When he first took over the Crystal Palace, Chen Ran also had the idea of ​​building a new stadium to replace the old and small Selhurst Park Stadium.

But later he inquired about the cost of the new stadium, and then temporarily abandoned the plan.

Just last summer, construction began on Arsenal's new stadium, which can accommodate 1000 people.

When Chen Ran and Wenger met two days ago, they also talked about this matter.

According to Wenger, the originally planned budget was 9000 million pounds, but now it has been increased to 7000 million pounds, which is really a big hole.

Of course, the reborn Chen Ran knew it. It could be said that it was because of the big hole in the construction of the new stadium that interrupted Arsenal's momentum of soaring into the sky and forced them back to the ground.

Since then, Arsenal have never been able to win the Premier League.

Ironically, it was Arsenal's head coach Arsene Wenger who advocated the construction of a new stadium.

This is a model of digging a hole and burying yourself, right?
There are still eight rounds left in the English Championship. Even if they win the last eight rounds, the winning bonus that Crystal Palace can bring to Chen Ran for the whole year is only about 6000 million euros.

Moreover, Chen Ran has already made arrangements for the money.

Part of it is used to repay the loan, and the other part is used to inject capital into the club in preparation for the summer transfer period in the near future.

For the rest of the money, Chen Ran still needs to spend part of it on the real estate market in London.

All the previously acquired apartments were rented out, because Chen Ran's site selection was very targeted, and they were all near universities with many foreign students, so the rental income was even better than he expected.

This is a cash cow that has now achieved a virtuous circle of self-sufficiency and is worth additional investment.

The last part of the funds was reserved by Chen Ran for the listing of Penguin.This is a long-term investment project, and Chen Ran's operation plan is very simple, that is, only enter and exit.

In this way, where does he have the money to build a new stadium?
However, if someone is willing to pay the money for himself, that's not impossible.

Chen Ran thought about it, and thought he could give it a try first.

The worst result is that it won't work, and I won't lose a piece of meat.

"System, you said half of the construction funds, can you give me the money first?"

"No! The construction funds will be allocated in batches according to the progress of the project, and the host is warned not to use his brain!"

"understood."

Chen Ran pouted, trying to take advantage of the loopholes and was discovered.

Forget it, come back and talk to Stephen, he is a local snake, maybe there is a way.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Ran suddenly felt a piece of liquid appear in front of his eyes, and then his whole body was soaked.

"Damn it, it's these boys again!"

It turned out that after receiving the award, the Crystal Palace players sprayed violently shaken champagne everywhere.

Chen Ran, of course, was their first choice.

After winning the League Cup that day, Chen Ran was drunk again today.

The next day, after sobering up, Chen Ran still came to the club.

He was still thinking about the new stadium, and when he arrived at the office, he immediately called Stephen over.

"Chen, is there any important thing that must be said in person?"

Stephen asked curiously, he is very busy as Chen Ran's big shopkeeper now.

"Stephen, how about we build a new stadium?"

"???"

Stephen's first reaction after hearing this was to go up to touch Chen Ran's forehead to see if he had a fever.

how?You just won the British Championship yesterday, and you drifted away in less than 24 hours?
