Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs

   Chapter 347 Retaliation

   "Messi's dad? Hehe, it's time to come."

   Chen Ran was mentally prepared for this result.

  Chen Ran was told by what happened in his previous life that this Jorge Messi was not a good talker either, and FC Barcelona suffered a lot from him.

  Chen Ran met Messi's father in the office under the personal reception of the little fat Louis.

  After a simple greeting, Jorge Messi did not detour, and bluntly told the news that Manchester City Club had offered Messi an annual salary of 15 million euros.

   "Mr. Chen, Leo told me that he was very happy at Crystal Palace Club. If possible, he still hopes to stay here and play football."

  Jorge Messi looked at Chen Ran with a smile, he now has Manchester City's offer in his hand, and he is full of confidence.

   "Really? That's great. I also hope that Messi can stay in Crystal Palace until he retires."

   Seeing Chen Ran circling in circles and not answering, Jorge Messi simply asked a question directly.

   "Mr. Chen, how should I reply to Manchester City's offer? After all, the annual salary of 15 million euros is three times what Messi is now, so it's hard to refuse."

"Jorge, it's your right to reply. However, I need to remind you that Messi only moved to Crystal Palace last year, and his contract with Crystal Palace Club has four full years left. As long as I don't agree, Manchester City's It doesn't matter how high the price is."

   Regarding Jorge Messi's use of Manchester City's offer as a bargaining chip to blackmail himself, Chen Ran said that I would not be used to you, so he directly turned Jorge Messi back.

   In order to cope with today's situation, Chen Ran started the layout early.

   Not long after he joined Crystal Palace Club, Chen Ran began to constantly try to introduce Messi from FC Barcelona.

   Not only because of Messi's outstanding football skills, but also for the balance within the Crystal Palace club team.

  In the case of already possessing Cristiano Ronaldo, Chen Ran has to introduce the only Messi who can be compared with Cristiano Ronaldo in the future. One of the important purposes is to not be threatened in the future.

  Like Barcelona in the previous life, because there is only one thigh of Messi in the team, the club is completely in a passive position, and can only let it do whatever it wants, satisfying Messi's father's lion mouth again and again.

   In the end, I couldn’t hold it anymore. Under the condition of huge debts, I could only let Messi transfer freely, not to mention how miserable the end was.

Chen Ran, who has learned the hard lessons of Barcelona, ​​started the layout a few years ago and paid the huge price of Ibrahimovic, just to be able to tell Jorge Messi confidently today: At Crystal Palace Club, The old man has the final say.

  “.”

  Jorge Messi was dumbfounded, and the coffee he wanted to take a sip stopped at his mouth.

   No, this is completely different from the script he expected.

   Isn't Chen Ran supposed to discuss with himself politely, ask for the price he wants, and then try his best to start bargaining?

  Why did you just flip the table before we started talking?

   Did you say something wrong just now?

   For a moment, Jorge Messi, who was in serious self-doubt, quickly recalled what he had just said. But after thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be too much, right?

"Mr. Chen, I don't mean anything else. You see, although Leo came to Crystal Palace Club for only one season, his performance is still obvious to all. In the Champions League final, Leo's lore also helped the team succeed. The defending Champions League champion, isn't it?"

   Negotiation is like this, momentum is very important.

   Chen Ran's side was tough, Jorge Messi immediately softened his posture.

  No way, what Chen Ran said was the truth.

  Messi still has four years left on his contract with Crystal Palace Club. If Chen Ran is really angered and he puts Messi on the bench for four years, then Messi, who is in his early twenties, will be abolished no matter how talented he is.

   On the side of Crystal Palace Club, it is not impossible to leave Messi.

   Since the beginning of this season, Jorge Messi has been watching the Crystal Palace game in order to track the performance of his son.

   In the first half of last season, Messi was able to enter the starting lineup except for some games that were not valued such as the League Cup. In other games, Messi is more of a substitute, and Crystal Palace's results in these games are also very good.

   It was not until the second half of the season when Crystal Palace was plagued by injuries that Messi initially established his main position.

   In addition, Crystal Palace Club can be said to be full of stars now. Although Jorge Messi is full of confidence in his son, he does not dare to say that Messi must be stronger than that Ronaldo.

   With many factors combined, Jorge Messi suddenly found that he didn't seem to have any other bargaining chips other than Manchester City's offer.

   Seeing that Jorge Messi was soft, Chen Ran smiled slightly, this is what he wanted.

Since the introduction of Messi last year, he deliberately put Messi on the bench at first, on the one hand to appease the emotions of the old players; on the other hand, to impress Messi and his father, Crystal Palace Club It's not that he has to.

   Now it seems that the foreshadowing that was planted at the beginning has now come to fruition.

   "Haha, Jorge, I see Messi's performance in my eyes. Don't worry, I am not a stingy person, I will give corresponding rewards to anyone who has contributed to Crystal Palace Club."

   "It's just that the amount of this reward is up to me. I hate being blackmailed very much. If someone insists on trying, I don't mind making him pay the price. Do you understand?"

   Looking at Chen Ran's smiling face, Jorge Messi only felt a cold breath coming from his back.

   "Goodu."

   After swallowing, Jorge Messi was busy explaining to Chen Ran with a forced smile.

   "Understood, I understand. Mr. Chen, don't worry, I'm mainly here to report to you the little things from the Manchester City club."

   "Well, it's good to understand. Jorge, you go back and tell Leo to play well in Crystal Palace with peace of mind, and I won't treat him badly."

   Watching Jorge Messi enter aggressively and leave in dismay, little fat Louis and Stephen laughed in unison.

   "Chen, you are really amazing! This Jorge Messi is not your opponent at all."

Sitting on the side just now, watching Chen Ran domineeringly take the initiative to negotiate completely in his own hands, pressing Jorge Messi to the point where he can't fight back, the little fat Luis couldn't help but dance. Addicted.

   "Chen, are you a little too aggressive in treating Jorge Messi like this? After all, we will always have to talk to him about Messi's contract renewal in the future, unless you don't plan to renew Messi's contract."

   Although Stephen was also amazed at Chen Ran's performance just now, as the CEO of Crystal Palace Club, he considered things more comprehensively than the little fat Lewis.

   "Stephen, a part-time family agent like Jorge Messi is completely different from a professional agent like Mendes, so the way to deal with the two should be different."

   "Agents like Mendes have many players, so they won't easily offend the football club for a certain player. For more business in the future, it is easier for them to make compromises and concessions."

   "And agents like Jorge Messi, who are family members, usually have only one client, neither have extensive expertise, nor do they think so long-term."

   "Plus every penny a player earns is basically an extra penny for their family, so it's hard to get them to compromise."

   "So, I have to take a strong position from the beginning and nip them in the cradle they shouldn't have."

"As for the issue of future contract renewals, as long as Messi's performance is good enough, I will not be stingy with the money. However, I must set up a concept for them now, that is, they can raise their wages, but how much and how much? , it's up to me to say."

   "Chen, you are too handsome. If I were a woman, I would definitely grab you from Cheryl."

  Little Fatty Louis was so excited that he tried to rush over to kiss Chen Ran.

"roll!"

  Although Caldun Al Mubarak's three-pronged axe was temporarily caught, Crystal Palace Club also had to give the players in the team a salary increase and renew their contracts.

   Chen Ran's teeth itch with hatred at the thought of adding a large amount of expenses out of thin air.

   He is not like those oil rich people, all this money is earned by his hard work.

   But after careful research, Chen Ran found that the current Manchester City club really doesn't have any players he likes, and he just wants revenge and can't start.

   However, at this time, a transfer rumor brought by the little fat Louis caught Chen Ran's attention.

  As Chen Ran's right-hand man, intelligence gathering is one of the tasks that Lewis is responsible for. Especially when the summer transfer period was approaching, the little fat man would come to Chen Ran to report the latest transfer news almost every day.

   "Chen, there is a transfer news about Manchester City Club, I think you may be interested."

   "Oh? About Manchester City? Then tell me the specific situation."

   Hearing the name of Manchester City, Chen Ran was immediately aroused.

   "It is said that Manchester City is very interested in the Belgian player Kompany from Hamburg, Germany. Now the two sides are in contact, and the possibility of success is not small."

   "Company?"

"Yes. Chen, you asked me to contact this Kompany when he was still in Anderlecht, Belgium. It's just that the Anderlecht lions opened their mouths at that time, and we didn't lack the position of central defender. People, in the end, they didn't continue to talk."

  Little Fatty Louis was quite impressed by Kompany. At that time, Crystal Palace was not as rich and powerful as it is now.

  Anderlecht's asking price was too harsh, and Chen Ran, who was in the habit of picking up bargains, didn't want to be taken advantage of and finally gave up.

   However, the situation is completely different now.

  Kompany may not be a must-have player for Crystal Palace, but for Manchester City, he will be their main centre-back and captain for the next decade.

   Chen Ran, a reborn, is very clear that Kompany has made an indelible contribution to the transformation of Manchester City from a mid-to-lower team into a Premier League champion.

  In this case, Zhengchou can't find a chance to take revenge on Chen Ran of Manchester City Club, and of course he won't stand idly by.

   "Louis, you go to Hamburg, Germany and bring me this Kompany back to Crystal Palace. Understand?"

   "Understood, promise to complete the task."

  Little Fatty Louis immediately understood what Chen Ran meant, laughed tacitly, and then asked another question.

   "Chen, what's the budget?"

   "Within 20 million euros, you can decide for yourself."

   "OK!"

   I have to say that Crystal Palace Club’s influence in football is indeed booming.

  When the little fat Luis called Kompany's agent, the Hamburg Club and Manchester City Club, which had already entered into substantive negotiations, immediately entered halftime.

   On the one hand, Kompany is more interested in joining Crystal Palace, the champion team. On the other hand, the Hamburg club also hopes to add a strong competitor to Manchester City in order to get more transfer fees.

   This situation was immediately reported to Caldun Al Mubarak by the staff responsible for the transfer negotiation of Manchester City Club in Hamburg.

   "Crystal Palace's counterattack was really quick."

   Hearing his subordinate's report, Karduen Al Mubarak immediately guessed that this was Chen Ran's revenge.

   "Take Kompany at all costs! We've never lost before."

  Manchester City negotiators, authorized by Kardun Al Mubarak, immediately doubled their offer.

   Whether it is the transfer fee or the annual salary for Kompany, it has been doubled, and the money is soaring.

   At this time, the little fat Louis flew to Hamburg unhurriedly. He met with Kompany in person, with the approval of the Hamburg club.

   "Haha, hello Vincent, do you remember me? We met a few years ago."

   In terms of communication skills, Lewis, the social cow, is not afraid of anyone.

   "Of course I do. I was still in Anderlecht at the time, but unfortunately I didn't make the move to Crystal Palace that time, otherwise I would be a member of the championship team now."

   Kompany was also impressed by the little fat man in front of him.

   As Crystal Palace reached its peak step by step, the little fat man, the sports manager in charge of Crystal Palace's transfer affairs, has also become a well-known figure in the football circle.

   "Vincent, we are also old acquaintances, so I won't go around in circles. I came to Hamburg this time on behalf of Chen, and on behalf of the Crystal Palace Club to officially invite you to join. I wonder if you are interested?"

  As the status of Crystal Palace continues to improve, the little fat man is now the object of many agents and players outside, and he has a lot of aura.

   Trying to recall the scene of Chen Ran dealing with Jorge Messi, the little fat man smiled slightly.

   "YesorNo?"
