Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 87 New Course

  “.”

   Good guy, you are the first to express your attitude, what else should we say?

  The big and small editors in the conference room looked at each other and confirmed that there was no stunned green.

  So, the cooperation with the Crystal Palace Club in the youth training was successfully passed here in the "Sports Weekly".

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

  Five days after the League Cup final, Crystal Palace ushered in the 34th round of the Championship.

   After the League Cup final with Arsenal, the temperament of the Crystal Palace players seems to have improved qualitatively.

   This kind of feeling is indescribable. In short, it is more calm, and it is not easy to panic when encountering difficulties.

   So, Crystal Palace ushered in another wave of consecutive victories.

  The 34th round of the British Championship, Crystal Palace beat Rotherham 2:1 away;

  The 35th round of the British Championship, Crystal Palace beat Reading 4:1 at home;

  The 36th round of the British Championship, Crystal Palace defeated Nottingham Forest 5:2 away;

  The 37th round of the British Championship, Crystal Palace beat Bradford 3:1 away;

   In the 38th round of the British Championship, Crystal Palace defeated Norwich 1:0 at home, ranking second in the league.

  Crystal Palace are already 25 points ahead of second-placed Norwich after their win over Norwich, with just eight rounds remaining in the Championship.

   In other words, Crystal Palace won the 2003-2004 British Championship with eight rounds ahead of schedule with a five-game winning streak and 15 points.

   If you add the League Cup title, Chen Ran won a small double in his first season at Crystal Palace.

   After the match with Norwich, 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 British Championship. In addition to the 1 million euro winning bonus for this game, an additional 10 million euro championship reward will be awarded to the host."

   "The winning bonus for a single game in the Premier League next season will be raised to 2 million euros."

   "The winning bonus for a single game in the UEFA Cup will be raised to 2.5 million euros."

   "The winning bonus for a single game of the European Champions Cup will be raised to 3 million euros."

   "The single-game winning prize of the FA Cup will be raised to 1 million euros."

   "The single-game winning prize of the League Cup remains unchanged at 500,000 euros."

  “.”

  Chen Ran was also speechless. With Crystal Palace's promotion to the Premier League, the winning bonuses of other competitions have increased, except for the League Cup, which is not even the system.

"In view of the outdated facilities at Selhurst Park, the home stadium of Crystal Palace, it is no longer worthy of the standard of a Premier League giant. It is recommended that the host build a brand-new stadium. If the new stadium can accommodate more than 60,000 spectators, the system will Provide half of the construction funds."

  “.”

  Chen Ran was speechless again, this system really doesn't have back pain while standing and talking.

   Is it that easy to build a new stadium in London?

   Not to mention the complicated administrative procedures, the construction funds alone are enough to make Chen Ran go bankrupt several times.

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

  When he first took over Crystal Palace, Chen Ran also moved to build 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, Arsenal started work on a new stadium with a capacity of 61,000 people.

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

  According to Wenger, the original planned budget was 390 million pounds, but now it has been added to 470 million pounds, which is really a big hole.

  The reborn Chen Ran knew of course. It can be said that it was because of the construction of the new stadium, which interrupted Arsenal's momentum of soaring into the sky, and was dragged back to the ground abruptly.

   Since then, Arsenal have missed the Premier League championship again.

   Ironically, the man behind the construction of the new stadium is Arsene Wenger, the manager of Arsenal.

   This is an example of digging a hole and burying yourself, right?

  There are still eight rounds left in the British Championship. Even if the last eight rounds are won, the winning bonus that Crystal Palace can bring to Chen Ran throughout the year is only about 60 million euros.

   And these money, Chen Ran has already arranged.

   Part of it is used to pay off loans, and the other part is used to inject capital into the club in preparation for the summer transfer period that will soon follow.

  Chen Ran has to spend part of the remaining money in the London real estate market.

   All the apartments purchased before were rented out. Because Chen Ran's location selection was very targeted, they were all near the universities with many international students, so the rental income was better than he expected.

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

  The last part of the funds is the bullets that Chen Ran reserved for the listing of Penguins. This is a long-term investment project, and Chen Ran's operation plan is very simple, that is, only in and out.

   After all, how can he still have money to build a new stadium?

   However, if someone is willing to pay this money for themselves, it is not impossible.

  Chen Ran thought for a while and felt that he could give it a try first.

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

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

   "No! The construction funds will be allocated in batches according to the progress of the project, warn the host not to use crooked minds!"

"understood."

  Chen Ran pouted, trying to take advantage of being 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 liquid in front of him, and then he was soaked all over.

   "Special meow, it's these guys again!"

  It turned out that the Crystal Palace players who had received the award were spraying vigorously shaken champagne everywhere.

   And Chen Ran, of course, is their preferred target.

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

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

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

   "Chen, what important things must be said in person?"

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

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

  “???”

   Stephen's first reaction when he heard this was to go forward and touch Chen Ran's forehead to see if he had a fever.

how? I just won the British Championship yesterday, and I just floated away after less than 24 hours?
