Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 351 Someone is going to be unlucky

  The owner of the Genk Club is also a cunning old silver coin.

When Mark Hughes sent a scout to inspect De Bruyne and came to Genk Club, he deliberately arranged for the scout to meet the little fat Louis by accident, and also enthusiastically introduced the two of them to each other .

   Neither Luiz nor Manchester City scouts are fools. Of course, they know the intention of the owner of the Genk Club.

  Everyone greeted each other politely on the surface, at least the scene was passable.

   As soon as he got back to the hotel, Louis immediately called Chen Ran.

   "Chen, I saw a Manchester City scout at Genk Club."

"Are you sure?"

   Hearing Little Fatty's report, Chen Ran's heart suddenly tightened, this matter might be troublesome.

   "Very sure. And it was introduced to me by the owner of the Genk Club."

   "Introduced by the owner of the Genk Club? Wasn't this planned by that old guy?"

  Chen Ran immediately heard the tricks and guessed the truth of the matter right away.

   "I also think it's the good thing that this old guy did. It may even be the Manchester City club that he contacted. The purpose is to let the two of us compete with each other to sell De Bruyne for a high price."

  Little Fatty Louis came from a family of brokers after all, so he quickly deduced the little things that the owner of the Genk Club was doing behind his back.

   On the phone side, Chen Ran fell silent for a while.

  People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. The players introduced by Crystal Palace over the years have never been parallel imports.

   Even Chen Ran's competitors have to admit that his vision for selecting players is extremely precise.

   But correspondingly, this also brings a lot of trouble to Chen Ran's signing.

   As long as the signboard of the Crystal Palace is displayed, it is impossible to think about picking up leaks like before.

   In addition, there is another Manchester City club that is not bad for money. If you want to continue to introduce De Bruyne, I am afraid that the only way is to spend money.

   But De Bruyne, who is not yet 17 years old, even if he grabs it at a high price, it is impossible for Chen Ran to directly arrange him into the Crystal Palace lineup.

   There is a high probability that he will be loaned to the Willem II club to exercise for a period of time. What if this little guy can't bear the loneliness like in his previous life and wants to transfer?

   After thinking about it, Chen Ran still felt that it might not be worthwhile to invest too much for De Bruyne.

   After all, in a previous life, De Bruyne was unsuccessful when he first landed in the Premier League.

   After several years of training in the Bundesliga, he came to the Premier League for the second time and achieved soaring results.

   And, in the previous life, Reed Bruyne was 21 years old when he first landed in the Premier League, and now he is less than 17 years old.

   A full four years ahead of schedule. If the more immature De Bruyne is thrown directly into the Premier League, the result is likely to be worse than in his previous life.

   So, this is a good opportunity to cheat Manchester City.

   After careful consideration, Chen Ran decided to give Karduen Al Mubarak another gift.

   "Luis, since the owner of Genk Club wants us and Manchester City to raise prices, you will meet his request."

   "Ah? Chen, do you have any new ideas?"

   Hearing this answer that was completely out of Chen Ran's style, the fat little Louis immediately reacted, and someone was going to be unlucky again.

"Hehe, isn't the Manchester City club rich, so just bid with them. Your upper limit is 30 million euros. If the Manchester City club offers a higher price, don't follow it. Let De Bruyne give them to them. ."

   "Hey, I understand."

   In the early morning of the next day, Mark Hughes, authorized by the chairman of the club, Kardun Al Mubarak, personally flew to the Genk Club.

  With the strong financial support of the Abu Dhabi consortium, and the words of the club chairman, Kaldun Al Mubarak, "Get De Bruyne at all costs!", Mark Hughes is full of confidence.

   I have to admire the owner of the Genk Club. In order to extract more profits, he really does everything he can.

   This old guy put people from Crystal Palace and Manchester City into the same conference room.

   He sat in the main seat himself, with the members of the Crystal Palace Club headed by the little fat Luis on the left, and the Manchester City club headed by Mark Hughes on the right.

   Seeing this posture, whether it is Lewis or Mark Hughes, it is very clear in their hearts that this old guy wants the two clubs Crystal Palace and Manchester City to directly compete in the ring.

   On the other hand, he sits on the mountain to watch tigers fight and reap the benefits of fishermen.

   However, for their different purposes, no one raised any objection to the arrangement of the owner of the Genk Club, whether it was Little Fat Lewis or Mark Hughes.

   "Hehe, both of you are here for De Bruyne of our Genk Club."

   "But there is only one De Bruyne, and it's really a hard decision to give or not to."

   "So, in desperation, I had to choose the auction method to solve this problem."

   "Who can take De Bruyne in the end is up to you to decide."

   "I wonder if you two have any different opinions on my approach?"

  The old guy looked pretentiously at Lewis and Mark Hughes.

"I have no opinion!"

"I do not have either."

   Little Fatty and Mark Hughes glanced at each other, then turned their eyes away in unison.

   "Well, since everyone has no opinion, then I announce that the starting price of De Bruyne's transfer fee is 20 million euros, and each increase shall not be less than 1 million euros."

  Fxxxk!

   This old guy is really black enough to even set his previous asking price as the starting price. This is a decision for two clubs, Crystal Palace and Manchester City.

   The little fat man cursed in his heart, then grabbed in front of Mark Hughes, and took the lead in calling out Crystal Palace's offer.

   "30 million euros!"

   "OMG!"

  “.”

  Louis' voice immediately stunned everyone in the conference room.

   Even the owner of the Genk Club looked at him in surprise.

   "Hahaha, the Crystal Palace is the Crystal Palace. It is worthy of being the current king of Europe. The shot is the atmosphere. Mr. Ferger, De Bruyne will not let you down."

After    said a few words to the little fat man, the owner of Genk Club immediately turned his attention to Mark Hughes.

  Mark Hughes did not expect that Louis's shot would be so fierce, and he added 10 million euros as soon as he opened his mouth, which completely disrupted his original bidding plan.

   He was also the first time he participated in the transfer negotiation of this auction method, and he was really caught off guard for a while.

   It seems that Crystal Palace is really determined to buy De Bruyne, and as soon as he comes up, he wants to scare himself off with a high price. Mark Hughes suddenly had such a realization in his heart.

   However, with the support of the Abu Dhabi consortium now, the most important thing Mark Hughes lacks is money. How could he be deterred by the 30 million euros of the little fat man?

   Seeing the gaze of the owner of the Genk Club, Mark Hughes straightened his back, and used his own way to repay him.

   "40 million euros!"

   At this moment, the entire conference room suddenly became silent.

  Everyone looked at Mark Hughes in amazement and offered 40 million euros for a child under 17 years old. Is this guy crazy?

   Hearing the shocking offer from Mark Hughes, the owner of the Genk Club couldn't close his mouth with laughter, and his grandson and granddaughter's pension money has been settled.

   However, thinking that there was another Louis who made an equally bold bid, the owner of the Genk Club turned to look at the little fat man with anticipation.

   "Haha, Manchester City really has a lot of money. The 40 million euros have exceeded our budget. Regarding the transfer of De Bruyne, our Crystal Palace Club has officially withdrawn!"

   Before he finished speaking, the fat little Louis stood up immediately, nodded and smiled at the owner of Genk Club, and then left the conference room with the team of Crystal Palace Club.

  The entire bidding process, from start to finish, took less than five minutes.

  In the conference room, Mark Hughes turned his head and glanced at the owner of Genk Club with a stiff face.

   At this time, how could he still not know that he was tricked by Louis?

   Even Mark Hughes doubted whether Crystal Palace teamed up with Genk Club to make a game for themselves, just to cheat Manchester City Club.

   The more he thought about it, the more likely it was that Mark Hughes' face became more and more ugly.

   "Mr. Hughes, the offer of 40 million euros just made by Manchester City Club, shouldn't you regret it?"

   The owner of the Genk Club looked at Mark Hughes with a smile and asked with a concerned look.

   For a moment, Mark Hughes really wanted to say that the quotation just now didn't count, but after hesitating for a long time, he finally didn't dare to say it.

   After all, the fact that the two clubs Crystal Palace and Genk teamed up to deceive Manchester City is just his personal conjecture, and there is no actual evidence.

  Take ten thousand steps back, even if it is true that Crystal Palace and Genk teamed up to set up a game against Manchester City, wouldn’t it prove his incompetence even more if it was publicized?

   In this case, will club chairman Karduen Al Mubarak let him go? I am afraid that the first person to be held accountable at that time is Mark Hughes.

   Forget it, as long as De Bruyne can kick it out, then the money is not wasted.

   At this moment, Mark Hughes sincerely hoped that Chen Ran's vision for selecting players would be as accurate as the legend.

   Thinking of this, Mark Hughes forcibly suppressed all the messy thoughts. He stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand to the owner of the Genk Club.

   "Of course not, happy cooperation!"

   "Happy cooperation!"

   Applause sounded, and the whole conference room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

   Like Robinho's transfer, when Mark Hughes signed a transfer agreement with Genk Club, Manchester City immediately announced the news to the media with great fanfare.

   They introduced a young player De Bruyne from the Belgian Genk Club at a price of 40 million euros, who is not yet 17 years old.

   For a time, Manchester City once again occupied a large number of the pages of the English media.

   It’s just that, unlike when Robinho’s transfer was reported before, this time it is no longer one-sided touts and praises.

  Although Manchester City continued to send a lot of red envelopes, some senior reporters with a bottom line still insisted on expressing their different views.

   "To use 40 million euros to introduce a young player who has not passed the test of any adult game and is not yet 17 years old, the Manchester City club is crazy!"

   "Spending 40 million euros to introduce a young player under the age of 17 not only shows the strong financial resources of Manchester City, but also shows the importance they attach to the team's youth training."

   "Using 40 million euros to introduce a young player who has not passed the test of any adult game, Manchester City is making a big gamble!"

   "According to an insider who did not want to be named, this young player named De Bruyne was first spotted by Crystal Palace, but was forcibly robbed by Manchester City at a sky-high price."

"If it is true, as the rumors say, De Bruyne was snatched by Manchester City from Crystal Palace. Then the astronomical transfer fee of 40 million euros is understandable. After all, the Chinese people's vision for selecting players, everyone It's still there for all to see."

"Since Crystal Palace cut off Man City's Kompany last time, Manchester City also stole De Bruyne from Crystal Palace. It seems that the competition between these two clubs in the transfer market is more than everyone thinks. fierce."

  Although the players introduced by Manchester City Club are somewhat controversial, it is undeniable that 82 million euros were spent on two players, allowing everyone to see the strong strength of the Abu Dhabi consortium.

   For a time, the threshold of the Manchester City club was almost broken by players' agents, big and small. And Mark Hughes has yet to coach a game, and he has become the hottest manager in the Premier League at the moment.

  Looking at the overwhelming news of Manchester City club in the English media, the little fat Luis, who returned from Belgium empty-handed, couldn't help but complain sourly.

   "Chen, you shouldn't have given up De Bruyne to Manchester City. We're not out of money. You see, now, all the limelight has been stolen by that guy, Mark Hughes."

   poked the picture of the proud Mark Hughes in the newspaper with a finger as thick as a carrot, and the fat little Louis became more and more angry the more he looked at it.

"Hehe, Louis, calm down. De Bruyne is not yet 17 years old, and he is far from mature. Mark Hughes spent so much money on him, but he can't perform in line with his worth. You say other What would people think of Mark Hughes?"

   "Aren't you very optimistic about De Bruyne?"

   Little Fatty glanced at Chen Ran in surprise, he was a little confused.

   "I am optimistic about De Bruyne in the future. He is still far from the standard of landing in the Premier League."

"But Mark Hughes spent so much money to introduce De Bruyne, and it's impossible not to use it. Once De Bruyne's ability is found not up to the requirements, then he becomes a major failure of Mark Hughes' career. ."

   "Mark Hughes obviously won't let the failure of this career stay in front of his eyes. After he deals with De Bruyne to other clubs at a low price, it will be our chance to introduce De Bruyne again. Understand?"

   ".Chen, you are so bad!"
