Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs: Chapter 148 From now on, I\'m an old man with no feelings

  Chapter 148 From now on, I will be a boss with no feelings

   This wave of guests was not only what Chen Ran expected, but also the person he least wanted to see right now.

   "Hello Mr. Chen, I'm Roberto Fernandez, the sporting director of FC Barcelona, ​​nice to meet you."

   "Originally, I was thinking of visiting Crystal Palace Club later, but I didn't expect that we could meet in advance at Cesc today. It's such a coincidence."

   "Hehe, that's really my honor. Mr. Fernandez, it's nice to see you too."

  Chen Ran shook hands with Fernandez while secretly complaining in his heart.

  Happy ball, the last thing I want to see now is you guys from Barcelona.

  Fernandez is still winking, or he is quite sure of the purpose of this trip.

  So, after a few simple greetings, he took the initiative to leave.

   At this time, only Chen Ran and Fabregas were left in the room.

   "Cough, boss, what would you like to drink?"

   Being smashed by Chen Ran to meet someone from FC Barcelona, ​​Cesc Fabregas was a little flustered and a little embarrassed.

   "Okay. Don't come here, talk about it, what did the people in Barcelona talk to you about?"

   "Well they want to activate the buyback, so let me know."

​​​​​

   "What do you think about yourself?"

   Contrary to Cesc Fabregas' expectations, Chen Ran did not show any emotional expression, but just looked at himself quietly, which made Fabregas a little overwhelmed.

   "Boss, it doesn't really matter what I think. There is a buyback clause, and the initiative is in the hands of FC Barcelona. As long as they want to activate the buyback clause, there is nothing we can do to stop it."

   Fabregas was a little excited and analyzed the root of the matter for Chen Ran.

   "This is very important to me."

  Chen Ran was still very calm, just replied lightly.

   ". Boss, I'm sorry."

   At this time, Cesc Fabregas couldn't talk anymore.

   lowered his head and dared not look into Chen Ran's eyes again.

   "Actually, you want to go back to Barcelona yourself, don't you?"

   ".Boss, I grew up in Barcelona and playing for FC Barcelona has always been my dream. Now that I have this opportunity, I don't want to miss it."

   When things got to this point, Cesc Fabregas simply poured out his thoughts.

   However, he never dared to look up into Chen Ran's eyes, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

   At this time, Cesc Fabregas' house was as quiet as if no one was there.

  Chen Ran felt an indescribable depression in his heart.

   My heart is always on the bright moon, but the bright moon illuminates the ditch.

  Whether he was in Arsenal in his previous life or in Crystal Palace in this life, Cesc Fabregas finally made the same choice.

   All the efforts made by Chen Ran were completely crushed in the face of the inertia of the wheel of history.

  Perhaps, as Little Fatty said, simply treating players as a special commodity is the most suitable attitude for a club owner.

   cleaned up his mood, Chen Ran walked over to Cesc Fabregas and patted his shoulder lightly.

   "Seske, it's okay, everyone has the right to pursue their dreams."

   "You want to go back to Barcelona, ​​I have no objection."

   "If one day, you find that you are not happy in Barcelona. Then you are welcome to come back at any time. The doors of the Crystal Palace are always open to you."

   "Boss, don't you blame me?"

   Hearing Chen Ran's words, Cesc Fabregas couldn't believe his ears. He raised his head suddenly and looked at Chen Ran stupidly.

   "Hehe, it's no big deal, and it's not parting. I believe that in the near future, you will return to the Crystal Palace."

   "Well, thank you boss. If I have to leave Barcelona in the future, I will definitely go back to Crystal Palace."

   Cesc Fabregas nodded vigorously, he really did not expect that Chen Ran would forgive himself so lightly.

  Although he didn't come to Crystal Palace for a long time, Chen Ran really had nothing to say to him.

   Although it was his childhood dream to choose to return to Barcelona, ​​Cesc Fabregas still felt sorry for Chen Ran.

   Now that he can get Chen Ran's understanding, Cesc Fabregas finally feels a lot better.

  The reason why Chen Ran forgives Cesc Fabregas so easily is not because of how virgin he is.

   But he knows that for a smart person, when losing something is unavoidable, the most important thing is to stop the loss in time and not lose more.

   Of course, it would be best if you could find something to make up for it.

After    and Cesc Fabregas had a brief chat, Chen Ran was not in the mood to stay any longer.

The moment    walked out of the door of Cesc Fabregas' residence, Chen Ran told himself that from now on, players are just a special commodity.

   When Chen Ran returned to the Crystal Palace Club again, he immediately called the little fat man over.

   "Luis, the people at Barcelona have found Cesc Fabregas, and they have decided to activate the buyback clause. Vieira, you have to hurry."

   "What? That means Cesc Fabregas is definitely leaving Crystal Palace?"

   "Yes, with the buyback clause, we can't stop Cesc Fabregas from leaving. So, in addition to Vieira, you can contact Liverpool's Xavi Alonso."

   "This way we have one more choice to prevent Vieira from having another accident here."

"Ok, I see."

   "Also, you sent me someone to keep an eye on Barcelona's sporting director Fernandes, who is the one Barcelona sent to activate Cesc Fabregas' repurchase contract this time."

   "Er Chen, what are you staring at him for? Isn't the Cesc Fabregas matter already settled? Do you suspect that he has other purposes?"

   "That's right. Luis, do you think that if you just activate Cesc Fabregas' repurchase contract, you need Barcelona's sports director in charge of the transfer to come out in person?"

   "Yes, the repurchase clause is mandatory. We have no way to stop it. Barcelona can send anyone whoever they want to handle it. It really doesn't require Fernandez, the sports director, to come forward in person."

   The little fat man also found something strange at this time, and analyzed his fat chin.

   "It's really unusual for this guy to appear in London. Chen, your suspicions are justified. Are you worried that he's also interested in other members of our Crystal Palace?"

   "That's what I mean, so you explain it to me and keep an eye on him. I want to see what else Barcelona wants to do."

  After Louis left, Chen Ran called Stephen over again.

   "Stephen, this year marks the 100th anniversary of our Crystal Palace Club, and we won the first top league championship since the club was established, so you have to organize this celebration well."

   "Okay, but Chen, when are you going to hold it? After the league is over?"

   "No, put the time after the UEFA Cup final. If we can win the UEFA Cup again, with two championship trophies, the effect will be much better."

   "Haha, then your task is not light. Champion of the UEFA Cup, Chen, are you sure?"

   Stephen's eyes lit up, a league championship trophy is a bit lonely.

   "It shouldn't be a big problem, I'll try my best."

  Chen Ran dared to say this with a bit of confidence, because among the teams that entered the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, there were no traditional giants.

   "Stephen, after all, this is the centennial celebration of our Crystal Palace. The scale should be bigger. I think it will be held at Selhurst Park."

   "First come to a float parade, then find some stars to come and perform, and turn the celebration into a concert, a big PARTY."

   "Then we will invite all the famous players who have made outstanding contributions in the history of Crystal Palace Club. Everyone has a good time."

   "By the way, let's announce the list of stars we invited to perform first. All fans who have purchased season tickets for this season can enter for free."

   "Also, you are now open for pre-orders for next season's season tickets. Fans who have purchased next season's season tickets can also enter the venue for free to watch the show."

   Looking at Chen Ran who was speaking so loudly, Stephen was also speechless for a while.

   This season's game is not over yet, Chen Ran is thinking about earning ticket money for next season. No wonder he is the boss.

   "Oh, I almost forgot. Don't forget to add Gao Ge girl among the invited performers. Also, among the invited celebrities, don't forget Fan Zhiyi, a Chinese who once served as the captain of the Crystal Palace."

   "Anything else?"

   Stephen looked at Chen Ran helplessly, this guy really knows how to carry private goods, and he didn't forget to stuff people inside when he held a celebration.

   "Of course there is, but it's not about the festival."

   "After the end of the season, before the start of next season, you will arrange for Crystal Palace to go to Asia, especially China. Understand?"

   "Go to Asia? Chen, do you mean to make money in the past like Manchester United did?"

   "Cough, what nonsense are you talking about?"

   "We are on a promotional tour to expand Crystal Palace's influence in Asia and cultivate our fans in Asia. Understand?"

   "Understood, I'll make arrangements."

   "On the Chinese side, you can contact our old friend, Xu Yuan, the president of "Sports Weekly". They are local snakes. With their help, our trip to China will be much smoother."

"Okay, I know."

   "By the way, how is the construction of our base on Huaguo Smart Island?"

   "It's basically the same. Now only the final interior decoration part has not been done."

   "Inform the other side to hurry up and rush to work. It must be done before we lead the team to China."

   "At that time, we can pull all the Crystal Palace players over and participate in the unveiling ceremony of the Crystal Palace Huaguo Youth Training Base together."

   "If we do this, we will definitely attract the attention of a lot of Chinese media. Then we will take advantage of the situation to launch the selection activity for the first phase of the Crystal Palace Huaguo Youth Training Program."

   "Chen, you have a good idea. A trip to Huaguo by Crystal Palace can not only make money, but also help promote the youth training plan, killing two birds with one stone."

  London, a Spanish restaurant, two people Chen Ran knew sat together.

   "Mr. Fernandez, are you satisfied with the taste of this Spanish restaurant?"

   "Haha, Mr. Mendes, the Spanish food here is very authentic. Thank you for your hospitality. You can call me Robert."

   "As long as you're happy, Robert. You can just call me Jorge. This is an authentic Cuban cigar, would you like one?"

   "No, Jorge. You must have guessed my intentions."

   "Haha, Robert, since you found me, it must be for Ronaldo, right?"

   "That's right. How? Is Ronaldo interested in moving to Barcelona?"

  After eating and drinking, Fernandez didn't bother to go around in circles with Mendes anymore.

   "Robert, you don't know, Ronaldo's contract with Crystal Palace has more than three years left. So, without the consent of Crystal Palace Club, he can't go anywhere."

  Mendez spread his hands, it's really not something he can decide.

   "You don't need to worry about it. I will naturally handle the Crystal Palace club. I just ask you now, is Ronaldo willing to join Barcelona?"

  Because of the high status of FC Barcelona, ​​Fernandez has gradually developed a condescending negotiating attitude in the face of these players’ agents since he served as Barcelona’s sports director, which made Mendes feel a little uncomfortable.

   "This, Robert, it happened a bit suddenly, I still need to go back and ask Ronaldo's opinion."

  Although he was upset, the cunning Mendez kept his head down and played the trick of procrastination.

   "Then go back and discuss with Ronaldo and give me an answer as soon as possible. My time in London is limited."

   "Okay, I'll go to Ronaldo in a moment, and I'll call you back tomorrow."

   Just when Mendes and Fernandez met, the little fat man also called Chen Ran.

   "Chen, I just got the latest news, that Fernandez and Mendes met at a Spanish restaurant."

   "Mendez? Fxxxk! It seems that this Fernandez is targeting Ronaldo."

   "I guess that's it. Chen, what should we do now?"

   "Continue to keep an eye on Fernandez on your side to see if they are still in contact. If you find that they are still in contact, notify me immediately."

"clear!"

   hung up the phone, Chen Ran pinched his eyebrows.

Headache.

The attractiveness of    Barcelona is not comparable to the current Chelsea.

  The current Chelsea, apart from having a rich boss, actually has nothing to show.

   Unlike giant clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid, they have their own aura of attractiveness.

  What kind of imperial dream, Barcelona dream and other stalks, Chen Ran, who was just an ordinary fan in his previous life, didn't think so.

   Now, he hates it.

   No, you can no longer be passively defending, you must take the initiative to attack.

   So, Chen Ran picked up the phone and dialed a number.
