Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 354 Chen Ran's New Deal

   The power of the financial tsunami is very wide-ranging.

   In this era, anyone with a little spare money in their hands basically invests and manages money.

   It’s okay to buy stocks, funds, etc., at most you can lose your principal.

   Those who play with high risks such as futures and foreign exchange are miserable, not only lose their capital but even owe a lot of debt.

   As a player with a relatively rich income, this time it has also become the hardest hit by the financial tsunami.

   Where do these guys understand financial operations? Most of them have become leeks that are slaughtered by others, with heavy losses.

   "Chen, a few players recently approached me and wanted to advance their salary in advance. What do you think should be done?"

   Leaving the field early at a high position, not only did he not lose anything, but Chen Ran made a lot of money. He never thought that these well-earned players would be reduced to such an exaggerated level.

   "What's the matter? These guys don't put all their money into the stock market, do they?"

   "The amount is even more serious than that. They are playing futures, and they are going in the opposite direction. Not only did they lose all their money, but they still owe a lot of money, so I hope they can advance their salary from the club to repay the debt."

   "So, which players are they?"

   "XXX, XXX and XXX."

   "Agree to their request, and then talk to them about the salary increase and renewal."

   Without any hesitation, Chen Ran agreed to give the players a salary advance and give them a salary increase at the same time.

   Chen Ran has always spared no effort to buy people's hearts.

   The financial tsunami just provided him with a good opportunity.

   After thinking for a while, Chen Ran added another sentence.

   "Stephen, you send a notice to all members of the Crystal Palace Club. Given the magnitude of this financial tsunami, many people have suffered heavy losses."

   "The club will provide all members with an opportunity to advance their salary for emergency relief, whether it is players, coaches or staff, they can apply."

   With Stephen's mind, he immediately understood Chen Ran's intention.

   "Chen, your trick is too high!"

   "Hehe, Stephen, I haven't finished. After the announcement is made, let Louis find someone to spread it out inadvertently. Understand?"

"Understood!"

   It turns out that Chen Ran's move is not only for the inside, but also for the outside. It seems that what he just thought was too simple.

   At this moment, Stephen couldn't help thinking of the nickname that Huaguo fans gave to Chen Ran - "Chicken Thief Ran".

  Really accurate!

  Little Fatty Louis was still very quick. The news that Chen Ran allowed all members of the Crystal Palace Club to advance their salaries spread throughout the English football world within a few days, and even showed signs of spreading to the European continent.

  Many players who suffered heavy losses in this financial tsunami are all envious of this policy of Crystal Palace Club.

   And the owners of many clubs gnashed their teeth at Chen Ran's move.

   Chen Ran, this bastard, is really not a human being!

   However, those who hate Chen Ran are those club owners who cannot protect themselves.

   But a club like Manchester City, which is backed by big money, is a bright spot.

  Kaldun Al Mubarak sighed Chen Ran's powerful move, and immediately ordered his subordinates to implement it in Manchester City following the practice of Crystal Palace.

   Soon, following Manchester City club, Chelsea also implemented the same measures within the team.

   For a while, this practice invented by Chen Ran seemed to become a standard to test the strength of the club owner.

  As the destructive power of the financial tsunami is getting bigger and bigger, not only in the football circle, but also many powerful companies in other industries have begun to follow the example of Crystal Palace Club and provide company employees with the opportunity to pay in advance for emergency relief.

   This time, Chen Ran once again went out of the loop in England.

   "Chen Ran's New Deal" has also become the hottest topic in England now.

   is not just sports media, he has even aroused great interest in English media in political, economic, social and other aspects.

   "With the launch of the 'Chen Ran New Deal', Crystal Palace Club suddenly became the most desirable football club for players in the world."

   "Not only the football circle, but now as long as it is a company that implements the "Chen Ran New Deal", it will immediately become the most attractive company in the industry."

   "That Chinese man is really amazing. As soon as his salary advance method was introduced, it immediately became the most effective standard to test whether a company has strength."

   "According to people familiar with the matter, the Chinese not only allowed members of the Crystal Palace Club to advance their salaries, but also prepared to give the players a collective salary increase."

   "That Chinese man's move is too cruel. Not only did he show his own strength, but it also made the players of other clubs uneasy. It was killing two birds with one stone."

   "At a time when the whole world is in a financial crisis, the actions of the Chinese have greatly stabilized the hearts of Crystal Palace Club."

   "I have to admit that the Chinese people's endless novel ideas can always make everyone's eyes shine."

  The harsh environment makes Chen Ran's new policy and the news that he is going to give Crystal Palace players a collective salary increase especially precious.

   The entire Crystal Palace Club suddenly became extraordinarily stable, and the negotiators of other clubs who had previously revolved around Crystal Palace players also retreated.

  When the Crystal Palace players returned to the team one by one, Chen Ran arranged for the little fat Luis and the players' agents to negotiate a salary increase while conducting recovery training.

   "Chris, Crystal Palace offered you a contract extension with an annual salary of 8 million euros. What do you think?"

  The environment is not good, even a club with a membership system like Real Madrid has to reduce the transfer investment.

   Nonetheless, Mendes still managed to land two of the biggest transfers from Real Madrid.

  The contented Mendes is now putting his energy back on Ronaldo.

   "Jorge, although the 8 million euros is much lower than the 10 million euros we expected. But the environment is not good now, and the boss has to give everyone an advance salary, I think it is almost enough. What do you think?"

  Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't understand finance, but he knows one thing, that is, the resorts that were overcrowded in previous years were sparsely populated this year.

  Cristiano Ronaldo was surprised that Mendes, a guy who wanted money, even supported his choice.

   took a puff of his beloved cigar, and Mendes nodded slightly.

   "I see. 8 million is 8 million. Although Chen is extremely cunning, he is indeed a good boss. You play football with him, at least you have peace of mind."

   Compared with the young Ronaldo, Mendes feels more deeply about this year's financial tsunami.

  Although his investment in the stock market is not much, the number of losses still makes him feel like a knife. In this chaotic time, a stable job is even more precious.

  London, after receiving the contract renewal offer from the little fat Louis, Bosco also rushed to Kaka's house immediately.

   "Ricciardo, today, the sports manager of Crystal Palace Club, Luis, asked me to meet. He offered you a contract renewal with an annual salary of 8 million euros."

   "This is 2 million less than our expected 10 million euros, what do you think? If it doesn't work, I'll go talk to Luis, maybe it can go up a little more."

   In this financial tsunami, Bosco also lost a lot. However, he has his son Kaka to help him, so naturally he didn't hurt his bones.

   "Forget it, Dad. You also know that the environment is not good now, and some clubs have already started to file for bankruptcy. Crystal Palace Club can still give us a raise, which is not easy."

   shook his head, Kaka rejected Dad's offer to bargain.

   "Yeah, Dad. There's a lot of chaos outside now. I heard people jumped off the building in the Financial City. It's hard to find a safe place like Crystal Palace Club now."

   Caroline, who came over with brewed coffee, also took the opportunity to help.

   Taking over the coffee brewed by his daughter-in-law, Bosco reluctantly shook his head and smiled bitterly.

  This Chen Ran is really amazing, not only his son Kaka would rather stay in Crystal Palace with less money, but even his daughter-in-law Caroline is now standing by the Crystal Palace Club and talking.

   made him a father, but turned into a money fanatic who only cares about money.

   "Okay, I see. Since both of you are willing to make less than 2 million euros, this old guy of mine has no problem."

   Also in London, Jorge Messi, who also received the notice of the renewal of the contract of the little fat Luis, returned home a little indignantly.

   "Dad, didn't you go to see Louis? Why are you still angry? Did you quarrel?"

   Seeing that his father's face was bad, Messi, who stayed at home and waited for news, asked curiously.

"There was no quarrel. However, I heard a piece of news. That guy Luis offered Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka an annual salary of 8 million euros, but he only gave you an annual salary of 7 million euros. This is not bullying. ?"

   In Jorge Messi's heart, his son is the best player in the world, and naturally he should get the top salary.

   Hearing that his father did not quarrel with the club's sports manager Luis, Messi was greatly relieved.

   "Dad, after all, I have just joined Crystal Palace for a season, and it is an exception to be able to raise my salary now."

   "What's more, whether it's Kaka or Ronaldo, they have also played for Crystal Palace for at least two seasons. Ronaldo is a veteran player of the team, and it is expected that they are a little more than me."

  Messi did not get too entangled with the annual salary gap of 1 million euros. He is very confident in his ability. It will be a matter of time to catch up with Ronaldo's annual salary.

   After all, he is two years younger than Ronaldo.

"Leo, I don't care about the 1 million euros. What I care about is that they put you under Ronaldo and Kaka. You know, Manchester City also offered you an annual salary of 15 million euros, which is similar to Ronaldo. It's the same price if you have a card."

   I have to say that the Manchester City club made an offer of 15 million annual salary to Ronaldo, Kaka and Messi at the same time, and the effect of the publicity finally showed at this time.

   From the perspective of Messi and his father, this is the performance of the outside world who regard him, Ronaldo and Kaka as players of the same level.

   But from the perspective of Chen Ran and the Crystal Palace Club, Messi, who has just turned 21, is just emerging, far from reaching his future peak.

Moreover, Messi who has just joined for a season, whether it is Kaka, who has been famous for a long time and played for Crystal Palace for two seasons; or Cristiano Ronaldo, who is equally talented and has outstanding achievements, is still a little bit worse. .

  If Chen Ran now puts Messi on the same salary scale as Ronaldo and Kaka, then I am afraid it will cause unnecessary turmoil within Crystal Palace.

   Hearing his father's words, Messi suddenly fell silent.

  Yeah, Dad was right. At least in the boss's mind, he is still not as important as Ronaldo and Kaka.

   "Dad, what do you say? Do you want me to transfer to Manchester City?"

   "Uh, it's not."

   Hearing Messi's angry words, Jorge Messi was stunned for a moment, and then quickly shook his head in denial.

   The destructiveness of the financial tsunami, Jorge Messi also has a deep understanding.

  The money he invested in the stock market was not much, but now he has very little left.

   If it weren't for Messi's current stable and generous income, he would probably have to go out and find a new job.

  Jorge Messi, who has been through hard times, knows how important it is to have a stable income when the situation is chaotic.

   And the owner of Crystal Palace Club, Chen Ran, pioneered the move to announce that employees can advance their salaries for emergency relief, which also made everyone full of confidence in his strength.

  Compared to the Abu Dhabi consortium that left without knowing when, Jorge Messi obviously trusted Chen Ran more.

   "Leo, your boss is still very powerful. He is also a good person, and he is very considerate to his employees. I feel more at ease when you play in Crystal Palace."

   "I just have an issue with him putting you under Ronaldo and Kaka, not wanting you to transfer."

   Hearing his father's explanation, Messi was greatly relieved.

   He has just joined Crystal Palace for a season, and he is doing well here, and he does not want to change places so often.

   "Dad, forget it, it's 1 million euros lower than the two of them. Don't go to Luis. I will use my own performance to ask the boss to take the initiative to close the 1 million euro difference."

   "Okay, as expected of my Jorge Messi's son, Dad believes you can do it!"

  It has to be said that although the financial tsunami is a huge disaster for many people.

   But for Chen Ran, it provided unexpected help to Crystal Palace Club's contract renewal negotiations.

   His series of measures made everyone see his strength.

   In this chaotic time, who doesn’t want to have a stable golden job?

   Not only did the contract renewal negotiations in the Crystal Palace team go very smoothly, but many stars even suggested themselves and contacted the little fat Luis, who was in charge of transfer affairs.
