Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 9 Cristiano Ronaldo battle

  Mendez has a good image, you can never tell from the appearance that this is a guy who will fight with his competitors in public.

   "Hi, Louis, I didn't expect you to be willing to see me."

After saying hello to Chen Ran, Mendes smiled and looked at Luis.

   "I am now the negotiator of Crystal Palace Club, and my father's agency gave me my eldest brother, which has nothing to do with me."

  Luis got angry when he saw Mendes' smiling face, and said angrily.

   "That's good, I'm still worried that you will punch me. How about it, are you interested in coming to my company to help me. Your father doesn't want you, I want it."

  Fuck, Chen Ran hurriedly comforted Louis, whose face was blushing and fat, for fear that he would really punch Mendes.

   Special meow, this Mendes is really powerful, and the little fat man lost his calm in two words.

   Compared to these old foxes, Louis is still too young.

   Forget it, come on by yourself.

   "Mr. Mendes, we are here in good faith."

  Chen Ran looked at Mendes with dissatisfaction.

   "Oh, I'm so sorry Mr. Chen, I was just joking with Louis."

   It's hard to do anything if you don't talk about anything.

   It seems that this Mendes is also prepared, this guy knows that he must have taken a fancy to the person in his hands when he came to Portugal.

   Coupled with Louis' relationship, it is estimated that he has classified himself as a club on the side of the Ferger family, and now he is probably sharpening his knife and preparing to slaughter himself.

   "Mr. Mendes, I'm here to talk to you about Cristiano Ronaldo."

   "Ronaldo?"

  Mendez gave Chen Ran a different look, which was a bit unexpected. He didn't expect that Chen Ran's appetite was really not small.

   "Mr. Chen, Ronaldo is the most talented player in my hands now, and he is only 18 years old this year. So, he is very expensive."

   "No matter how expensive there is, there is still a price. Mr. Mendes may wish to make a price and see if I can accept it."

   "Mr. Chen, many clubs have taken a fancy to Ronaldo and have made offers to Sporting Lisbon. Among them are giants like Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool, and Ronaldo is also looking forward to joining those giants."

   "With all due respect, Crystal Palace is just a Championship team and is not attractive enough. So, it's not just a question of money."

   Chen Ran's heart sank, he rushed to Portugal as soon as he got the loan, just to sign Ronaldo before Ferguson.

   Unexpectedly, not only Manchester United, but other teams are also eyeing Cristiano Ronaldo.

   "Mr. Mendes, a championship team like Manchester United, his wing attack system is very perfect. 18-year-old Ronaldo arrives at Manchester United, can he top Giggs' main position?"

   "We all know that 18-year-old players need the game the most. If they sit on the bench for two years, no matter how good the talent is, it will be delayed."

  Chen Ran took a sip of coffee and calmly analyzed the pros and cons for Ronaldo, as if he was Ronaldo's manager.

   "It makes sense. So how much does Mr. Chen plan to pay to take Ronaldo away?"

   “How about 20 million euros?”

   Hearing Chen Ran's offer, Mendes couldn't help but be taken aback.

   This price has far exceeded his expectations. It seems that the Chinese is very determined to win Ronaldo.

   "Mr. Chen is really sincere. As soon as he got a loan of 30 million euros, he was willing to pay two-thirds to introduce Ronaldo. I admire it."

   "Looks like Mr. Mendes knows me well."

   "Haha, Mr. Chen is probably the hottest topic in the UK right now. It's hard for me not to understand."

  Chen Ran shook his head and smiled bitterly.

   Special meow, as expected, good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, but I didn’t expect my reputation to spread to Portugal.

   However, this also shows that the original plan to increase the popularity of Crystal Palace by hyping himself has been successful.

   But, with Cheryl's blessing, the effect is even better.

   "Since Mr. Mendes understands my situation, he should know that this is the best sincerity I can show. After all, I have to introduce other players, and it is impossible to spend all the money on Ronaldo alone."

   "It's true. However, no matter how much the transfer fee is, it's Sporting Lisbon. If you join Crystal Palace, what will Ronaldo and I get?"

   Hearing this, Chen Ran was refreshed, and after a long detour, he finally got to the point.

   He is not afraid of Mendez's high price, but he is afraid that Mendez has reached an agreement with Manchester United in private.

   "If Ronaldo joins Crystal Palace, he will get a five-year contract, an annual salary of 2 million euros, and the commitment of the main team."

   "Well, Mr. Chen is very sincere."

  Mendez nodded in satisfaction.

   It is 2003, and the annual salary of 2 million euros can be offered to an 18-year-old young player who has not proven himself, which proves that Chen Ran is really sincere.

   "If Mr. Mendes can bring Ronaldo to Crystal Palace, in addition to the 10% commission, with a limit of 20 million euros, what price can you let Sporting Lisbon accept, I will give you the rest of the difference."

  Chen Ran threw out Wang Zhuang directly, he didn't believe that Mendes could resist such a big temptation.

   "Mr. Chen means"

  Mendez was also shocked by Chen Ran's generosity, and he couldn't even believe his ears.

   "If Sporting Lisbon agrees to sell Ronaldo to Crystal Palace for 10 million euros, then the remaining 10 million euros are all yours to Mr. Mendes."

   Gumbling.

  Chen Ran clearly heard the sound of swallowing.

   "Chen, are you crazy?"

  Mendez hadn't spoken yet, when Louis next to him became anxious and grabbed Chen Ran's arm.

   "It's okay, Louis, I'm sober, I know what I'm doing. Listen to me, OK?"

  Chen Ran patted Louis' hand, looked into his eyes and nodded.

"you sure?"

"I'm sure."

   "Well, you are the boss and you have the final say."

  Louis reluctantly let go of Chen Ran's arm.

   Crazy, crazy!

   "Mr. Chen, I have to admit that you are very courageous, and I am honored to work with you."

   Mendez, who had recovered his strength, had to take a good look at Chen Ran at this time. This Chinese, who was only in his twenties, was really aggressive.

   If the deal is successful, his income may reach tens of millions of euros, which will be the biggest money he has ever made in his life.

   Such a big cake, he couldn't refuse.

   "Very well, then Mr. Mendez will be in charge of Ronaldo's work. Is there any problem with that?"

   "You can rest assured, everything is left to me."

   Back at the hotel, Louis still didn't let go.

   "Chen, is this Ronaldo worth that much? He's not the Brazilian one."

   "Louis, believe me, this Ronaldo is worth more than the Brazilian one. We can only make money and not lose this business."

   "Really? Are you sure it's worth more than the Brazilian one?"

   "I'm 100% sure."

   "Well, even if this Ronaldo has great potential, we may be able to win it at a lower price if we talk slowly. Our budget is only 30 million euros."

   "There is no way, there are too many clubs targeting him. We are just a British Championship team, and there is no chance of winning if we don't make a tough move."

  Chen Ran is very clear that in the friendly match between Manchester United and Sporting Lisbon shortly after, Ronaldo's performance was extremely good, prompting Manchester United to decide to introduce a lot of money on the spot.

   So, he has to grab Ronaldo before this game.
