Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 93 Fermentation

   Before coming to see Evra, Chen Ran and Little Fatty drew up a battle plan.

  If Evra is a young and immature young man, then Chen Ran will personally go out to bring them closer and leave a good impression.

  If Evra is a shrewd guy, then Chen Ran's appearance may make him think that Crystal Palace attaches great importance to this transfer, maybe he will temporarily increase the price.

   To this end, Chen Ran and Little Fatty agreed that if he proposed to leave first if he had an appointment with someone, then the second set of plans would be implemented.

   Negotiations were taken over by Louis, and he was determined not to give Evra a chance to speak up.

After    left, Chen Ran went straight back to the hotel where he was staying. It wasn't until late at night that the little fat man came back.

   "Why so late? You keep talking about now?"

  Chen Ran got up and opened the door for the little fat man.

   "Hey, Chen, it's not what you expected. That Evra is young, but he's a tough guy. Fortunately, you left first, otherwise we might be slaughtered by him."

   "What? He's asking for a high price?"

   "As soon as he opens his mouth, it is three times his current annual salary, and the bonus is calculated separately."

   "Just say the result."

   "In the end, when it came to double the annual salary and bonuses, Evra was no longer willing to budge."

   "I estimate that Evra's bottom line is about twice his current annual salary. As for whether he can get a bonus, it depends on his performance. Luis, you did a good job."

  Chen Ran patted the little fat man on the shoulder and praised him verbally, which was better than he expected.

  Compared with Luis, a guy from a family of brokers, Evra and his manager are still a little more tender.

After    got Evra, Chen Ran asked Little Fatty to contact the Monaco Club.

   The Monaco club has always had a tradition of buying young players, training them, and then resell them at high prices. Naturally, they will not reject Crystal Palace's purchase request.

  Although they did not win the Champions League this time, the value of their players could not be improved to a higher level.

   But the leeks are already mature, so they have to be cut, otherwise there will be nowhere for new leeks to grow.

  Because Chen Ran started early, there is no giant team eyeing Evra yet.

   In the absence of a strong competitor, Monaco can’t charge a high price.

  In the end, with the doubles cooperation of Chen Ran and Little Fatty, Crystal Palace won the ownership of Evra for 5.5 million euros.

   In this way, the rotation defect of the two side lanes of Crystal Palace that plagued Chen Ran has been initially resolved.

  Evra and Alves are both full-backs, full-backs and even wingers who can play all-round players on the wing.

   No matter who has a problem with Cristiano Ronaldo, Chiellini, Ribery or Maicon, both of them can go up.

   Not long after Chen Ran returned to London, news came that Chelsea had won Robben.

  Maybe because of the intervention of Crystal Palace, PSV took the opportunity to raise the offer again. Chelsea eventually brought in Robben for £15m, which is a lot more than the £12m they paid in previous lives.

   And far away in China, the Sports Weekly and Ford News published an interview with Chen Ran one after another. Let the name Chen Ran enter the field of vision of the majority of domestic fans for the first time.

   "Crystal Palace? Isn't that the team that Fan Zhiyi and Sun Jihai played for?"

   "That's right, it's that team. I didn't expect it to be our Chinese as the boss."

   "Which British team was bought by a large sum of money? It cost a lot of money, right?"

   "Of course. Although Crystal Palace is only a British Championship team, it is far less than the Premier League giants like Manchester United and Arsenal, but at least it costs tens of millions of pounds."

   "tens of millions of pounds? How much is that in Chinese dollars?"

   "About ten."

   "It's amazing, that's not hundreds of millions of dollars!"

   "So it's a big one."

   "But who is this Chen Ran? He is only in his twenties, so young? Never heard of it."

   "Is it someone's rich second generation?"

   "The newspaper said that this kid inherited an inheritance. Because he likes football, he used the money to acquire Crystal Palace Club."

   "Fuck, this is a pie from the sky! He just spent the money like this? It's such a waste, hundreds of millions."

   "I don't think it's anything. Buying a football club is at least doing a business. It's better than those rich second-generation who only know how to eat, drink, and have fun."

   "Yes. Anyway, Crystal Palace is now our Chinese team. I will pay more attention to this team in the future, but I don't know where to broadcast the British Championship games."

   "You are out of date. Now that Crystal Palace has rushed to the Premier League as the Champions of the Championship, next season we can see Crystal Palace against Manchester United, against Arsenal, against Liverpool, against Chelsea."

   "I'll go, is this Crystal Palace so fierce?"

   "There are even more fierce. Crystal Palace not only won the British Championship, but also won the English League Cup last season. That is to say, next season, Crystal Palace can also participate in the UEFA Cup."

   "Can teams from the Championship also participate in the UEFA Cup?"

   "Crystal Palace is participating in the UEFA Cup as League Cup champions and has nothing to do with the Championship."

"Sure enough. It seems that Chen Ran has done a really good job. He achieved such great results in the first season of acquiring Crystal Palace. I decided that in addition to the Manchester United game next season, I will also follow the Crystal Palace game. "

   "Hey, me too. In addition to Arsenal's games next season, I will also watch Crystal Palace games."

   "Ahem, I'll watch the Liverpool-Crystal Palace game."

   "I watch Chelsea and Crystal Palace."

   At this time, Chinese fans still kept the habit of writing letters or calling the newspaper.

After    Chen Ran's report was published, both "Sports Weekly" and "Ford Treasure News" received a lot of feedback from readers, which made them more interested in Chen Ran.

   Xu Yuan, the president of "Sports Weekly", who responded faster and had more courage, decided to strike while the iron was hot to invite Chen Ran to return to China to attend the signing ceremony of the youth training jointly organized by Crystal Palace and "Sports Weekly" in China.

   "Sports Weekly" reporter Liang Feng in London immediately brought Xu Yuan's invitation to Chen Ran.

   "Are you inviting me back home?"

   "Yes, Mr. Chen, our president very much hopes that you can attend this signing ceremony in person."

   "Okay, I see. But I need to make arrangements for the club first before I can determine the specific time to return to China. Is that ok?"

   "No problem at all. Our president said that the time is mainly based on your arrangement, Mr. Chen."

   "Alright then, please reply Mr. Liang to President Xu and thank him for his invitation. I will go back to China to attend the signing ceremony."
