Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs: Chapter 228 The second member of the Galaxy Football Group

   Chapter 228 The second member of the Galaxy Football Group

  The news that Kaka and Ibrahimovic are about to join Crystal Palace has also excited domestic Crystal Palace fans.

   "I'm going, Crystal Palace is going crazy! Even after winning the Triple Crown, they continue to buy people."

   "Upstairs, you are too shallow. How can a triple crown be enough? If you look at the standard of establishing a dynasty, at least a triple crown is required."

   "Three consecutive championships? Do you mean that the three crowned champions also want three consecutive championships? I don't think Crystal Palace is going crazy, but you are going crazy."

   "I said you guys are making too much fuss, isn't it just a Kaka and Ibrahimovic. It's just normal signings, and Crystal Palace's original players are no worse than them."

   "Yes, I support the view upstairs. Whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, or Tony and Ibrahimovic, they are not inferior at all."

   "It makes sense. I want to say that this signing is nothing more than increasing the depth of Crystal Palace's bench. It is hard to say whether Kaka and Ibrahimovic can be the main force after they come."

   "If you can't make it to the main force, it's impossible for that guy Chen Ran to spend a lot of money to buy two substitutes."

   "I think so too. Although Chen Ran is 'gou', his vision for selecting players is still unremarkable. He must have his plans to buy Kaka and Ibrahimovic."

   "Yeah, it's not like you didn't see the Crystal Palace's schedule in the final sprint last season. It was too dangerous. That is to say, Crystal Palace was lucky, and the players in the team did not suffer major injuries, otherwise it would definitely collapse."

"It makes sense to say that. No one can say about injuries. The absence of large-scale injuries last season does not mean that there will be such good luck next season. It is not a bad thing to be prepared in advance. ."

   "The upstairs is right, how could Chen Ran be such a thief, how could he be doing useless work?"

   "Haha, anyway, I'm looking forward to Crystal Palace's game next season."

   "Looking forward to +1."

   "Looking forward to +2."

  Because the Crystal Palace Club has won one championship after another in the past two years, the popularity of Crystal Palace in China has increased day by day. Not only are there more and more domestic fans, but it has also become a topic that domestic football practitioners often talk about after dinner.

   At this time, in Xu's football base, he and his old partner, Coach Jiang, were talking about Crystal Palace while drinking tea and chatting.

   "Old Jiang, Xiao Chen's Crystal Palace is incredible now. The triple crown, this is something that Manchester United can only achieve in the peak period before."

  Guo Xu has always admired Manchester United under Ferguson's coaching, and hoped that he could cultivate a group of outstanding young players like Ferguson.

   "Old Xu, I don't know if Chen Ran will bring Crystal Palace to play in China again this year. If they come again, you have a good relationship with him. Let's see if we can let our children see the world too."

   "This should be no problem, Xiao Chen will still give me this face."

   Speaking of these children under his command, Director Xu could not help frowning slightly.

   This year, he asked these children to form a team to participate in the Second Division, but only won a seventh place and failed to be promoted.

  Although there are reasons why the children are still young, he was a little disappointed that he could not upgrade.

   The most important thing is that he is running out of money.

With such a large base to maintain, so many people to support, and bank loans to be repaid every month, all the pressure is on him alone.

   Even though he brought in the East Asia Group this year to co-found the Shencheng East Asia Club to participate in the Second Division League, the East Asia Group’s investment was limited and could not last long.

   If they can be promoted to the Chinese League this year, he still has an excuse to apply for more funds.

   But now, he can only think of another way.

   He frowned again when he saw Coach Xu mentioning the child. Coach Jiang, his old partner, immediately knew that it must be because of lack of money again.

"Old Xu, I remember that Chen Ran once told you that if we are short of money, we can go to him. He is willing to invest money and promises not to interfere in the base's affairs. Why don't you try to go to him? "

   It was also because he was talking about the Crystal Palace just now that Coach Jiang suddenly remembered what Chen Ran had said to Director Xu.

   "Old Jiang, if I really go to Xiao Chen, I'll owe this favor."

  As a mentor of the older generation, he also adheres to the habit of not causing trouble to others as much as possible.

   "Old Xu, now is not the time to consider whether or not to owe favors. Let me ask you, how long can you last with your money?"

   “. Up to three months.”

   Xu Gui's words surprised Coach Jiang.

   He knew that Director Xu had been worrying about money, and he had been trying to find money everywhere, but he did not expect the situation to be so serious.

  If no new funds are added, the football base Xu has worked so hard to build will be closed.

   "Old Xu, the situation is so serious, what else do you have to hesitate?"

   "Have you not watched the news? The transfer fee of the two stars that Crystal Palace is about to introduce, Kaka is said to be around 35 million euros, and Ibrahimovic is also around 25 million euros."

   "Added together, this is hundreds of millions of Chinese dollars. With so much money, Chen Ran also said that he would pay for it. The little money our base needs is estimated to be a fraction in the eyes of others."

   Hearing what Coach Jiang said, Director Xu couldn't help but feel a little moved.

   Indeed, a huge number for him may be a fraction of Chen Ran's.

   So, under Coach Jiang's encouraging eyes, Director Xu picked up the phone.

  Shencheng is seven hours faster than London. It is already evening in Shencheng, and it is still afternoon in London.

When    received the call from Xu Guizhi, Chen Ran was working at the Crystal Palace Club.

   "Hello guide Xu, I'm Chen Ran. Long time no see, how are you? I thought I'd see you again when I returned to China, but I didn't expect you to call me."

   Chen Ran was also very surprised to receive the call from Xu Zhizhi.

   This is also the first time he has received a call from Director Xu in the UK. It is estimated that something has happened.

   As expected by Chen Ran, after a few chats, Director Xu talked about the current situation of his football base and the dilemma of the shortage of funds.

   Chen Ran heard that, didn't he just lack money?

   For him now, the funds that Xu instructs the team needs are nothing at all, even buying the team instructed by Xu is not a problem.

Huh?

  Chen Ran seems to remember something?

  Since Director Xu is short of money, then investing in Guidance Xu’s team and then incorporating this team into the Galaxy Football Group to become the second member after Crystal Palace, wouldn’t it kill two birds with one stone?

   Thinking of this, Chen Ran felt that this idea was very feasible and could be tried.

   "Guide Xu, you don't have to worry. I promised you before that as long as you need it, you can speak up. I don't know if you plan to sell the entire team or just a part of the shares?"

"Xiao Chen, I set up the team to provide children with a platform for actual combat training, so I don't plan to sell all of them. I want to control the team, so I can only sell 49% of the shares at most. This is ,can you accept?"

   "Yes, as many shares as you want. I promised you before that even if you buy shares, it will not interfere with the daily management of the team. This is still valid now, you can rest assured."

   "That's good. Xiao Chen, how much do you think is the right price?"

   "Guide Xu, you can make a bid for this, as much as you say, I won't bargain."

  Chen Ran was so generous, but it made Director Xu difficult to speak.

   In fact, he also knows in his heart that the so-called team is actually a bunch of half-old children. How much is the seventh-placed team in the second division?

   Not to mention that it is only 49% of the shares, which is even more worthless.

   After hesitating for a long time, Director Xu quoted a price of 2 million Chinese yuan.

   He knows that this team is not worth so much money now, but he believes that Chen Ran's investment will be rewarded handsomely in the future.

   "No problem, Director Xu I said it, as much as you say. However, I still have some ideas for this team. Do you think it is suitable?"

  So, Chen Ran talked about his plan of the Galaxy Football Group, and then he also mentioned his idea of ​​making Shencheng East Asia a new member of the Galaxy Football Group.

   This time, Xu Guizhi was fooled.

   He called just to find some money to go back to the emergency, but he did not expect to be involved in such a grand plan.

  What team is Crystal Palace, that is the triple crown of Champions League champions, Premier League champions and England FA Cup champions last season.

   What level of team is his Shencheng East Asia, seventh in the Chinese League Two.

   These two teams that are 108,000 miles apart now have the opportunity to become brothers in the same group.

   Thinking of this, Director Xu felt his blood pressure jumped up, making him a little dizzy.

   Today's young people really know how to play!

   Chen Ran, who did not expect his proposal to have too much impact on Director Xu, was still introducing the benefits of Shencheng East Asia joining the Galaxy Football Group on the other end of the phone.

  What resource sharing, Crystal Palace can provide help to Shencheng East Asia in various aspects such as foreign aid, coaches, youth training and team operations.

   Anyway, it was to make Director Xu sound like he was stepping on a cloud and couldn't float.

   "Guide Xu, I wonder if you are interested in joining the Galaxy Football Group?"

   Good guy, a fool would refuse this question.

  Without any hesitation, Director Xu immediately agreed to let Shencheng East Asia join the Galaxy Football Group, for fear of missing this great opportunity of turning black chicken into a phoenix.

   "Haha, great, welcome Director Xu and your team to become new members of the Galaxy Football Group. However, I have a small request here. I wonder if Director Xu can agree?"

"you say."

   "If you want to sell the remaining shares of Shencheng East Asia in the future, I hope you can have the right of first refusal."

"no problem."

  Guide Xu knew that Chen Ran really took good care of him. It is completely acceptable to make such a small request now.

After    and Director Xu finalized the matter of Shencheng East Asia, Chen Ran immediately called Stephen over.

   "Chen, it's almost time to get off work now, is there anything else at this time?"

  Chen Ran looked down at his watch, good guy, just now I was on the phone with Director Xu, but I didn't expect it to take so long. I guess Director Xu will be heartbroken when he sees the phone bill.

   "It's really something. Our Galaxy Football Group's second team has an eye."

   "Oh? Which team, or an American club?"

   "No, it's from Huaguo. It's just been finalized. It's a Chinese League Two team."

   "What did you say? China Second League, what level is this?"

   Hearing Chen Ran's introduction, Stephen almost broke his voice.

   "Third level."

   "The third level? Or from China?"

  Stephen seemed to have received a heavy punch, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch.

"Chen, are you exaggerating too? You are from Huaguo, I can understand if you want to add a Huaguo team to the Galaxy Football Group, but can't you find a first-level team? ?"

  Although Chen Ran often did amazing things before, Stephen felt that what happened today was the most outrageous.

   "Stephen, calm down, I've thought it through. This team was just formed this year, and the players are all 16- and 7-year-olds. Although it's in the third tier, it's only a temporary phenomenon."

   "Because these players are currently the most potential players in Huaguo's age group, with the help of our Crystal Palace, it is very easy for them to be promoted to the top league."

   "It's about the same."

   Hearing Chen Ran's explanation, Stephen calmed down.

   "Then you called me over, what do you need me to do?"

   "That's right. I reached a verbal agreement with the owner of this team, the director Xu you met last year, and now you still need to send someone to turn this matter into a contract in black and white."

   "Understood. However, is this matter so urgent? After that, we will go to China to play a friendly match, so we can deal with it together."

   "The earlier it is implemented, the earlier I can rest assured, so as not to have too many dreams at night. Sign the contract first, and then you can hold a signing ceremony."

   "A third-level team in China, what about it?"

   "After all, this is the first official member of our Galaxy Football Group plan, apart from Crystal Palace. I don't want to be busy like the two Americans before."

   "Understood, I will send someone to deal with it. But, Chen, have you heard? Those two Americans are eyeing Liverpool?"

   "Really? As expected. Actually they don't have many choices."

   "It's impossible for Crystal Palace, it's impossible for Manchester United to just fall into the hands of the Glazer family, and it's even more impossible for Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich to sell Chelsea."

"In this way, there are only Arsenal and Liverpool left in the strong teams. It is a well-known fact that Arsenal is short of money. Once the two Americans take over, they will continue to invest in the new stadium as soon as possible. It is estimated that they Certainly not."

   "So, apart from Liverpool, they really have no choice."
