Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 261 Everyone is happy?

   Resisting the impatience in his heart and watching Jason Ferguson's full set of performances, Chen Ran turned to look at Sir Alex Ferguson.

"Sir Ferguson, since Mr. Jason Ferguson has apologised for his mistakes, I don't intend to care anymore. However, I have a small request here, I hope you and Mr. David Gill can think about it."

   Hearing Chen Ran's words, old Ferguson and David Gill immediately cheered up.

  Everyone knows in their hearts that the series of performances just now were just a cutscene. From now on, it is time to start negotiating conditions seriously.

   "Mr. Chen, if you have any requirements, just say it, as long as it is something we can do, we will do our best to do it for you."

  David Gill and old Ferguson looked at each other and took the initiative to take the words.

   Seeing that it was David Gill answering the call, Chen Ran smiled and nodded at him.

   "Mr. Jill, my request is not difficult. It's just that this request is related to you and requires your consent."

   "It's about me?"

  David Gill glanced at Chen Ran in surprise, and couldn't help but ask a question.

   He now feels the same as old Ferguson, this Chen Ran plays his cards completely out of line. The acting style is like a wild and unrestrained style, making it impossible to judge what tricks will be taken next.

   "Yes. I would like to invite you, Mr. Jill, to serve as the CEO of Galaxy Football Group. I wonder if you are interested?"

   "The CEO of Galaxy Football Group?"

   This time, David Gill was completely dumbfounded.

  Before he came, he and Ferguson had repeatedly deduced what conditions Chen Ran would put forward before agreeing to reconciliation. But no matter what, they never thought that Chen Ran would put forward this condition.

  I didn't expect Chen Ran to have a good eye, and he actually took a fancy to himself.

  Although he still looked surprised and puzzled on the surface, David Gill couldn't help but burst into joy in his heart.

   After all, in Manchester United, Ferguson's aura is too dazzling. Whether it is the owner Glazer or his David Gill, or the stars in the team, everyone is shrouded in the shadow of Ferguson, and their presence is not high.

   This feeling of recognition, even from a competitor, still fills David Gill with a sense of accomplishment.

   Moreover, judging from the information that has been obtained, Galaxy Football Group is the holding parent company of all of Chen Ran's football businesses, and its level is still above the flourishing Crystal Palace Club.

  Chen Ran did not use his good friend. Stephen, the CEO of Crystal Palace Club, went to serve as the CEO of Galaxy Football Group. Instead, he came to invite him. This move made David Gill feel the urge to "die for the confidant".

   At this time, the old Ferguson who was sitting next to David Gill also looked at David Gill again with a face full of surprise.

   Chen Ran's request was also unexpected to him, and as Chen Ran said, this request is not difficult, and even Ferguson himself does not need to pay any price.

  Just, why does Chen Ran want to poach David Gill?

  Experienced old Jianghu has a habit that is both an advantage and a disadvantage, that is, he will think more about things.

  This is the case with Ferguson right now, because it doesn't make sense to think about it.

  Chen Ran put his confidant and friend aside, and the current Crystal Palace Club CEO Stephen did not need to come to Manchester United to recruit David Gill to serve as the CEO of Galaxy Football Group?

   You must know that Galaxy Football Group is the holding parent company of all football clubs under Chen Ran. With such an important position, he can rest assured that an outsider from a competitor will be in charge?

  Ferguson asked himself, if he were Chen Ran, it would be absolutely impossible to do so.

  Unless, this Chen Ran and David Gill have long been in collusion.

  Thinking of this, Ferguson suddenly felt nervous because he thought of something else.

  Which media Ferguson has a close relationship with, as his partner, David Gill, the CEO of Manchester United, is of course aware of it.

   Then, is there a possibility that David Gill told Chen Ran about the matter that he asked his son to contact the media?

  Otherwise, how can you explain that Chen Ran seems to have been prepared for a long time, and his side just made a move, but Chen Ran staged a big comeback overnight?

   Those who are now digging David Gill over by Chen Ran, will it be a reward for his whistleblower behavior?

  The more Ferguson thought about it, the more he thought that David Gill was a second-fifth boy, and even the way he looked at him changed.

   David Gill, who was sitting beside Ferguson, was very sensitive and immediately noticed the strangeness of Ferguson. It's just that he didn't expect that he has now become the second or fifth boy in Ferguson's heart, so he still asked a question as usual.

   "Alex, what's wrong with you?"

"Cough, nothing. David, since Mr. Chen invited you to be the CEO of Galaxy Football Group, then you should think about it yourself. You can rest assured that I support any decision you make. I will also help you with Mr. Glazer. explained."

  Ferguson is an old river and lake after all, he immediately cleaned up and returned to normal, showing an attitude that he would support David Gill no matter what decision he made.

   At this moment, David Gill, who had not realized that he had been suspected by Ferguson, was also deeply moved and turned to look at Chen Ran.

   "Mr. Chen, thank you very much for your attention to me. But I am very happy at Manchester United and have no plans to leave for the time being."

"Mr. Jill, don't rush to refuse. I know that this kind of thing is related to your next life plan, and you can't make a decision in a hurry, so you can go back and think about it before giving me an answer. "

   "I think both Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Glazer will support you in coming to Galaxy Football Group as CEO. Are you right, Mr. Ferguson?"

   While talking, Chen Ran turned to look at Ferguson again, smiling quite meaningfully.

   "That's right. David, if you work for the Galaxy Football Group, the misunderstanding between Manchester United and Crystal Palace will not happen again in the future."

   Hearing Ferguson's words, David Gilton was stunned for a moment.

   If it is expected that Chen Ran persuaded himself to join the Galaxy Football Group, then Ferguson also said the same, then it is a bit abnormal.

  In an instant, David Gill, who noticed that something was wrong, kept his head down, and only said that he needed to go back and think about it.

   "Mr. Chen, since the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's hold a press conference together to clarify the various news on the market now."

   Seeing that Chen Ran did not propose any new conditions, Ferguson was relieved, and at the same time, he said the solution he expected, so as not to further damage his reputation.

   "Haha, let's not rush this matter. Sir Alex Ferguson, I have two plans for this matter: The first is that Mr. David Gill will be the CEO of Galaxy Football Group. Let's hold a press conference together to clarify the misunderstanding."

   "The second option is to keep Mr. David Gill at Manchester United. I will not pursue this matter, but there will be no press conference. Time will make people forget this matter very quickly."

   Seeing Chen Ran laughing out his two plans, Ferguson's heart sank, and he knew that Chen Ran was not so good at talking.

   If Chen Ran's second plan is followed, then Ferguson's reputation will not be completely destroyed, but at least half of it will be lost. This is something that Ferguson cannot accept anyway.

   turned his head and glanced at David Gill, who was sitting next to him. Ferguson was even more determined to send him to the Galaxy Football Group.

   David Gill, who also heard Chen Ran's two plans, immediately understood Chen Ran's intention. Chen Ran wanted Ferguson to take the initiative to send himself to the Galaxy Football Group.

   Seeing that Chen Ran was so diligent and wanted to poach himself by any means, for a while, David Gill didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

   After the three of Ferguson left the Crystal Palace Club, they participated in the whole process of negotiation, and the little fat Louis who had been beside the audience immediately jumped out.

   "Chen, why did an outsider like David Gill be the CEO of Galaxy Football Group? Shouldn't this position be Stephen's?"

   "Louis, don't make trouble. I also think David Gill is more suitable than me to be the CEO of Galaxy Football Group."

   Before the little fat man finished speaking, he saw that the person who stood up to refute him was actually Stephen.

   "Hey, Stephen, I'm talking to you! Are you mistaken?"

  Little Fatty is a little confused, this style of painting is not right.

"Luis, Chen talked to me about this matter before. Galaxy Football Group is a new thing after all, and there are too many uncertainties. In order to ensure Galaxy Football Group continues to survive, it is necessary to deal with the FA, UEFA and even the FIFA relations."

   "And with my dad's energy, at most, he can play a role in the UK. With UEFA and FIFA, he can't help much."

   "So, we need to find someone who has a good relationship with these football governing bodies to be the CEO of Galaxy Football Group. And David Gill, is a good candidate. Do you understand?"

   "That's right. You didn't tell me earlier."

   Little Fatty stopped talking when he heard that there were such complicated factors behind this matter.

"Luis, our business is getting bigger and bigger now, and each of you is responsible for different things. For example, the transfer affairs you are in charge of, there are many things Stephen doesn't know. Don't worry, when you need to know, I will I'll tell you."

  Because I don't know if the result of going to Crystal Palace today will be smooth, the three of Ferguson booked a hotel in London in advance.

   Just returned to the hotel, Ferguson sent an invitation to David Gill.

   "David, let's have a drink together?"

"OK."

   Knowing that Ferguson has something to say, David Gill nodded and agreed with a smile. He just wanted to test Ferguson's true thoughts.

   took a sip of his favorite red wine, Ferguson pondered for a while, and finally decided to be straightforward.

   "David, are you willing to be the CEO of Galaxy Football Group?"

   "Alex, do you want me to go?"

  David Gill gently shook the red wine glass in his hand and asked in return.

"think!"

  “.”

   Hearing Ferguson's direct answer, David Gill was also taken aback, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

   "David, maybe I'm being selfish to say that, but your going to be the CEO of Galaxy Football Group may be a happy outcome."

   "Everyone is happy? Am I so unpopular at Manchester United?"

   David Gill, who has always had a good temper, was also a little angry this time.

   "David, it's not your problem, it's our problem."

   "It hasn't been a day or two that the Glazers want to replace you with their confidant Ed Woodward. You know this."

   "Chen Ran wants you to help him manage the Galaxy Football Group, and you have heard the two plans he gave me today. If you don't go to the Galaxy Football Group, my reputation will probably be over."

   "You said to yourself, is it a happy outcome for you to go to the Galaxy Football Group?"

  Seeing that Ferguson did not shy away from putting a lot of tacit things on the table, David Gill knew that Ferguson had made up his mind.

   As Ferguson said, it has not been a day or two since the Glazers, the owners of Manchester United, wanted to replace themselves.

  It is because of Ferguson's support that he can continue to remain in the position of CEO of Manchester United.

   Now even Ferguson is unwilling to stay at Manchester United by himself, so is he still far from the day when he is swept out of the house?

   Instead of making it so ugly then, it is better to go to the Galaxy Football Group now.

   As Ferguson said, it was a happy ending.

  Thinking of this, David Gill couldn't help but smile bitterly. As a man to achieve this point, he can be considered a failure.

   "Alex, I see. I will resign and go to Galaxy Football Group as CEO."

   "Okay. Thank you, David."

  Ferguson raised his glass and touched David Gill.

  Seeing that David Gill was knowledgeable, Ferguson was also relieved.

   After all, the two have been working together for many years and have always gotten along well. This is the best result for everyone to get together and leave, and we will still be friends when we meet in the future.

   As for the suspicion that David Gill is the second or fifth child, Ferguson never mentioned it from beginning to end, but buried it deeply in his heart.

After    got David Gill's approval, Ferguson immediately contacted Chen Ran again.

  The next day, the two parties who reached a consensus together issued invitations to major media in England.

   The media reporters who received the invitation suddenly climaxed collectively. The dispute between Chen Ran and Ferguson, which has been making a lot of noise these days, is it about to find out?

  Since the two sides jointly held a press conference, it means that Chen Ran and Ferguson must have reached a consensus.

   I just don’t know who bows to whom, it’s really exciting.
