Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 348 More Wronged Than Dou E

  I didn't expect that the fat man Luis, who was so strong when he came up, exchanged glances with his manager, and then looked at the fat man and nodded affirmatively.

   "Mr. Ferger, I very much hope to join the Crystal Palace Club!"

   "Even if our bid is not as high as that of Manchester City Club, are you willing?" Staring at Kompany's eyes, the little fat man asked again.

   "Yes, Mr. Ferger."

  Company didn't dodge, and nodded again firmly.

  Before meeting the little fat Louis, he had discussed it with his agent for a long time.

  Although the agent is very jealous of the sky-high contract offered by Manchester City, Kompany still has little confidence in the ability of these new Arabs to run a Premier League club.

   "Very good, Vincent, you made a wise choice. You can rest assured that although our offer is not as high as that of Manchester City Club, it will definitely not be stingy."

   "Thank you, Mr. Ferger."

   "Haha, after joining Crystal Palace, we are a family. It's too unfamiliar to call Mr. Ferger, and my friends call me Louis."

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

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

   Seeing that Kompany was so eloquent, the fat little Louis nodded with satisfaction.

   Such a sensible young man is rare now.

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

   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 now more and more pleasing to Kompany's eyes.

   "Luis, Hamburger Club is good to me. After I tell them to terminate the negotiation with Manchester City Club, can you not lower the price too hard?"

  “.”

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

  Are all young people so powerful now?

   First made himself happy, and then took the opportunity to make a request that he was not easy to refuse, but also showed his kindness.

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

   Two birds with one stone, so terrifying!

   took a serious look at Kompany again, and the fat little Louis nodded slowly.

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

   "Thank you, Louis."

  Company laughed naively, revealing his big white teeth.

   "Hahahahahaha."

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

"List!"

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

   Chen Ran, who was afraid that the little fat man would become angry, had to stop hard.

   The little fat man who came from a family of brokers and considered himself a transfer expert, but was toyed with by a young player, it was really embarrassing.

   "Chen, what to do with the Kompany matter?"

   "What to do with it? Didn't you promise everyone? Just do as you promised. You still have to keep Louis Ferger's reputation, and we can afford the money."

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

   "Ok, I know what to do."

  With the cooperation of Kompany, the rest will be much easier.

  Although the Hamburg club was reluctant, the player himself 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 were close to reaching an agreement around 7.5 million euros.

   But as soon as Crystal Palace came, Manchester City immediately doubled the transfer fee and directly offered a price of 15 million euros.

   Originally, with the cooperation of Kompany, the little fat Louis only planned to give the Hamburg club 10 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 the Hamburg club at a price of 12 million euros.

  When the news came back to Manchester City, it was said that Karduyn Al Mubarak smashed the contents of his office into a smash.

   Manchester City, who bid 15 million euros, lost to Crystal Palace who bid 12 million euros, shame!

   At this moment, Karduen Al Mubarak deeply realized that in the football world, money is not everything.

   Chen Ran, who taught Manchester City a lesson in a small way, did not take this matter to heart.

The    season is over, but he has gotten busier.

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

  Under the premise of limited places, it is a lot of knowledge to bring who or not to bring.

   This is not 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 is to push Stephen to a bigger stage such as UEFA and even FIFA, and this is inseparable from those key votes in each election.

  Who has these votes, and which clubs are these people close to. Just researching these, Chen Ran felt that 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 the title of the stadium, requested a grand ceremony.

   They even proposed to organize a new event, named after the new stadium of Crystal Palace: the "Chiefs" 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 off-season is limited. The players have to rest and vacation. After the vacation, they have to conduct intensive training to prepare for the new season. Then they go to participate in the International Champions Cup as a warm-up match before the season. Finally, after a rest, the new season will begin.

  This is still in the absence of international competitions such as the World Cup and the European Cup. If there is a big year, then the time is even more limited.

   Now Emirates Airlines has to add another event. Although they have offered a high entry bonus, Chen Ran really doesn’t want the money.

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

   "Tim, do you have to come to me for a friendly match?"

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

   "Hehe, Chen, the airline has so many things to do, you think I want to come?"

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

   "Yes, do you know who the real boss behind Manchester City Club is?"

   "You 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?"

   "Tim, don't go around the corners, just say something straight."

  Chen Ran frowned slightly impatiently, with a faint ominous premonition.

   "Cough, the next words, you just need to know them yourself, don't spread them out."

   "Then don't say it, I don't want to know."

   As soon as he heard this, Chen Ran knew that there was nothing good, and quickly expressed that he had no interest in intervening.

   "Chen, you're already in the middle of the game, and you can't dodge if you want to."

  “.”

  Chen Ran looked at Tim Clark speechlessly, already guessing what the other party wanted to say

what.

   "Chen, the UAE is a federation of seven emirates, of which Abu Dhabi and Dubai are the strongest."

   “The President of the UAE is the Sheikh of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, while the Prime Minister is the Sheikh of the Emirate of Dubai.”

   "Over the years, Dubai has become famous all over the world. When people think of the UAE, the first thing that comes to mind is Dubai. What many people don't know is that Abu Dhabi is actually the capital of the UAE."

   "Now, the decision makers of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi have decided to reverse this situation, so the Abu Dhabi consortium's acquisition of Manchester City Club happened."

   "As far as I know, you 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 biggest sponsor of your Crystal Palace Club."

   "Chen, with all due respect, in the eyes of the senior management of Abu Dhabi, you have actually stood in line."

  “.”

   Looking at Tim Clark's half-smile, 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 started to attack the Crystal Palace Club. It turned out that there were such complicated reasons behind it.

  Chen Ran feels that he is more wronged than Dou E. He is a Chinese and runs a Premier League club. How could he be involved in the internal competition of an Arab country?

"Chen, I'm here this time to persuade you to hold the 'Chiefs' Cup. Since it's already involved, there is no way out. The Abu Dhabi consortium has acquired Manchester City, are you willing to give them the championship trophy? ?"

"Those chiefs value the huge publicity role of your Crystal Palace Club. As long as you cooperate well, they will still be generous. For us outsiders, everything is fake, and the most important thing is to earn money, right? "

   Watching Tim Clark talk eloquently in front of him, Chen Ran had to admit that this guy really had two brushes to be able to sit as the president of Emirates.

   "Tim, you made it. Go back and tell your boss that I will hold this 'Chiefs' Cup as scheduled, and schedule the first game as part of the opening ceremony of the new stadium."

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

   Added a "Chiefs" Cup event, and Chen Ran had to readjust Crystal Palace's schedule during the season break.

  Chen Ran simply pushed the matter to Stephen, while he himself called the little fat Louis, who had just returned to London after securing the transfer of Kompany, to the office.

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

   "Oh? Chen, who do you like again?"

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

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

   "Young player? Chen, have you found another treasure?" Luis is now convinced of Chen Ran's vision for selecting players.

   "That's right. So, keep quiet and do it quietly, understand?"

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

"One is a Dutch child born in 1991, his name is Van Dijk, and he is now working as a dishwasher at a restaurant called OncleJean in his hometown of Breda. This child, please don't come forward in person and tell Willem II to sign him. ."

   "Okay, I got it, how about another one?"

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

   "This kid, you should also let the William II Club contact you first. If he doesn't want 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 slapped by a lion like Kompany did a few years ago."

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

   "The players are not bad. It's just that their agents are more active than each other, either with this club or with that club."

   "That is to say, so far, there has been no case of players appearing in person?"

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

"Well, it's really a big problem, and the momentum has to be nipped in the bud. So, Luis, you have a word for the agents of these players. Just say that because of the good performance of the team these two seasons, the club is preparing Give everyone a raise and a new contract.”

   "All salary increases and contract renewals? Chen, are you crazy?"

  's voice suddenly increased, and Louis' eyes almost popped out.

   This is not a few years ago, when Crystal Palace players were underpaid and all pay raises were not much.

   If all the players of Crystal Palace are given a salary increase now, it means that Crystal Palace Club will increase the extra expenditure of tens of millions of euros every year.

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

   "But we don't need to be in such a hurry, right? Our players' contracts have at least three years left. We can negotiate slowly, so that we can achieve our goals at a lower cost."

   "Luis, this is indeed a good idea. However, let me ask you, if you are a player, do you like a generous boss or a caring boss?"
