Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs: Chapter 32 Birth of an actor

   Chapter 32 The Birth of the Actor

  Laporta was moved.

   He didn't expect that this Chinese man really brought him a surprise.

   Now look at Chen Ran, he is more and more pleasing to the eye.

   The problem of the La Masia youth training camp that has been plaguing him for a long time can be solved with Chen Ran's method.

  Laporta pondered over and over several times, and felt that this method was indeed feasible.

   "Mr. Chen, I have to say that your approach is very good and I like it very much. However, this matter still needs to be studied and discussed by the club's management, and you may have to wait for a while."

   "Haha, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry. However, I'm just worried for you. If before you make a decision, a young player from La Masia signed a contract with another club, then it would be a pity."

  Chen Ran said calmly, as if he didn't care much.

  Although in the memory of the previous life, just this summer, Cesc Fabregas was poached by Arsenal, and then Pique was poached by Manchester United.

   But Chen Ran knows that he can't show the slightest anxiety now, only in this way can he gain the upper hand in the negotiations with Barcelona later.

   At this time, Barcelona should be more anxious.

   "You are right, it is indeed possible. Why don't you leave Barcelona like this, Mr. Chen. I will have a meeting with other management tonight to discuss this matter and tell you the result tomorrow. Do you think this is okay?"

  Laporta also felt that what Chen Ran said made sense, and this matter really couldn't be delayed.

   In case those little players sign contracts, it will be too late to say anything.

  Chen Ran certainly has no opinion. He knows that Laporta is going to call his subordinates for a meeting now, and he has no time to chat with himself. So he took the initiative to say goodbye and left Laporta's office.

   Back at the hotel where he was staying, the little fat man stared at Chen Ran with admiration.

   "Chen, how does your head grow? How can you come up with such a genius idea? Let Barcelona take the initiative to send the excellent players it cultivated to Crystal Palace, and it's still free. You are really amazing."

   "Fuck off, stop flattering."

  Chen Ran pushed away the fat face that Luis approached, and said angrily: "I'll give you a task to find a way to spread the news in the Spanish agent circle, saying that Fabregas is about to sign a contract with Arsenal."

   "Chen, what do you mean?" Little Fatty asked meaningfully.

"Put a whip in the back of the big guys in Barcelona to give them a sense of urgency so that we can have the upper hand when we negotiate. I don't want to help Barcelona train players for two years and then buy them back for a very low price. . Then, wouldn't I be taken advantage of?"

   "But the management of Barcelona is not a fool. If you set the price too high, they will not want it." The little fat frowned, this is not something they can do whatever they want.

   "That's why we have to think about it carefully. It's better to find a price that Barcelona can accept, but it will feel painful, so that we can keep our favorite candidates in the future."

   "It's not easy."

"Slow down. I believe Barcelona must be in a hurry than us. For us, the worst result is to go home empty-handed; and for Barcelona, ​​the worst result is to be empty of money and people. You say, who is more in a hurry?"

   "Hey, Chen, you are so bad."

   Hearing this, the little fat man also showed a clear smile.

   That's right, we're not in a hurry.

   That night, Laporta held an emergency meeting overnight to discuss Chen Ran's proposal, and finally won the approval of the majority.

   These Barcelona managements have long been unhappy with those Englishmen who have been wanting to prostitute the fruits of their labor for free.

   It's just that they don't have the ability to change the laws of Spain, so they can only lie down and be slaughtered.

   Now that Chen Ran, a spoiler, has appeared, they naturally couldn’t ask for it.

   The next day, Chen Ran received a notice.

   FC Barcelona agreed to his proposal and invited him to start further negotiations.

   But unexpectedly, Chen Ran was surprised by the greed of the Spaniards as soon as the negotiation started.

  Barcelona proposed that Chen Ran take away the players who are now 16 years old in the La Masia youth academy, and then everyone must sign a buyback clause.

   And the repurchase price agreed in the contract is frighteningly low, ranging from tens of thousands of euros to hundreds of thousands of euros, and the highest is not more than 500,000 euros.

   special meow, this is really taking himself as a big head.

Is   Crystal Palace a nursery school in Barcelona?

   Chen Ran's face was ashen, and he stood up after listening to Barcelona's conditions.

   "Mr. Laporta, it seems that FC Barcelona does not want to cooperate with me. The team has a game on the weekend, and I have to go back to coach. I will not bother, and leave."

   After saying that, Chen Ran turned around and walked towards the door of the conference room.

  Little Fatty immediately greeted the team of lawyers, packed up and prepared to leave together.

   "Mr. Chen, please wait a moment."

  Laporta saw Chen Ran's disagreement and immediately lifted the table and left. Although he didn't know if he was really angry or acting, he could only get up immediately to stop Chen Ran.

   Indeed, as Chen Ran expected, Barcelona is more anxious now, they dare not really get angry with Chen Ran, because they have no time to find other partners from the UK.

  Chen Ran ignored Laporta and continued to walk towards the door of the conference room.

When   Laporta saw this, he had to trot a few steps to catch up, grabbing Chen Ran's arm.

  Chen Ran was very dedicated to his work, and he struggled twice, but when he saw that he didn't break away, he stopped.

   "Mr. Laporta, since you have no intention of cooperating with me, why do you keep me?" Chen Ran looked at Laporta with a face full of anger.

   "Cough, Mr. Chen misunderstood. We Barcelona are very willing to cooperate with Mr. Chen. Negotiations, the conditions will naturally be harsh at the beginning. If there is any dissatisfaction, we can talk slowly."

  Laporta was a little embarrassed, why did this Chinese play cards out of common sense? How can there be a negotiation that flips the table and leaves after a disagreement?

   It seems that this Chen Ran is still too young to be impulsive.

   Looking at Chen Ran's too young face, Laporta seemed to have found the answer.

   "Mr. Laporta, as you must know, in addition to being the owner of Crystal Palace Club, I am also the team's head coach. My time is limited, and there are leagues waiting for me to go back to command over the weekend."

   "Also, I think it is necessary to remind Mr. Laporta again that there is not much time left for you in Barcelona."

"As far as I know, at least seven Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Manchester United, are now in contact with La Masia's children, and they may sign contracts at any time. For every extra day you delay, you risk losing one. players."

   "For me, the worst outcome is to go home empty-handed; for you Barcelona, ​​the worst outcome means a loss of money and people."

   "Mr. Laporta, do you think what I'm saying makes sense?"
