Chapter 109 The pit is dug(1/2)
"Louis, did you just say you didn't hear anything?"
Chen Ran immediately asked.
"Yes, there is no news about our Crystal Palace. It is precisely because of this that I feel it is abnormal."
"As you lead our Crystal Palace to continuous victories, there have been rumors flying around that one team is interested in one of our players, and another club is interested in another of our players. "
"But in recent times, all these news have disappeared. Even though we have won seven consecutive victories and are at the top of the Premier League standings, no similar news has come out. It is as if our Crystal Palace players have become unattractive overnight. , this is very abnormal.”
"I have a feeling that everyone is guarding against me. I seem to have become blind and deaf in the agent circle. This is something that has never happened before."
The little fat man who was always smiling now had a solemn expression on his face.
"Well, your judgment is correct, something is wrong."
Chen Ran nodded slightly. In the European transfer market, the busiest in the world, it is normal for true and false news to be flying all over the place.
Now the little fat man can't hear any news about the Crystal Palace, which can only mean one thing.
That is that someone, or some forces, are planning a conspiracy against the Crystal Palace, and are consciously preventing the news from leaking out, especially against people from the Crystal Palace Club like Little Fatty.
As for what the conspiracy might be, Chen Ran could think of it with his buttocks. It was simply that the Crystal Palace had an outstanding record and the players on the team were being targeted by some rich and powerful teams.
Which club will it be?
Is it Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool or Chelsea?
After thinking about it, Chen Ran realized that it was just these strong teams, and other clubs in the UK did not have this level of strength.
As for the wealthy clubs in other countries, it will be about the same after Crystal Palace wins the Premier League championship this season. The current Crystal Palace is not that attractive yet.
"Louis, can you identify which club is behind this?"
"It's not clear yet. Now the British agent circle is guarding me like a thief."
"That's it..."
Chen Ran collected all the news about the transfer from Little Fatty.
Now that this road is blocked, Chen Ran suddenly becomes deaf and blind.
"Well, Luis, please contact Mendes for me and see if there is any news from him."
"Mendez?"
As soon as he heard the name, the little fat man's voice immediately rose an octave.
"Yes, we can't get any news now. This is too passive. Because of Mourinho's relationship, Mendes has become a guest of Chelsea. He may know something."
"Do we have to find him?"
Although he knew what Chen Ran said was reasonable, the little fat man was still a little reluctant to go to Mendes.
"Besides, do you have any better solution?"
Chen Ran spread his hands and looked at the little fat man helplessly.
"knew."
Lewis curled his lips and had no choice but to agree.
If he went back to beg his father just to get information, wouldn't that just show his incompetence?
After weighing the pros and cons, the little fat man finally decided to call Mendes.
Mendes was also very surprised when he received the call from Luis.
Since Mendes and Luis had a falling out, this was the first time that the little fat man took the initiative to call him.
"Louis, if you need anything, just say it. I will help you if I can."
Mendes understands very clearly that if the agent industry wants to grow, it will inevitably have to compete with other big players.
However, competition is competition, and it would be best if we can avoid falling out.
This time Luis took the initiative to call, and Mendes felt that this was an opportunity to ease the relationship between the two families.
After all, he has always been thinking about cooperating with Chen Ran.
As Crystal Palace's record becomes more and more prominent, this idea has taken root in Mendes' mind.
"Then I'll tell you the truth. Recently, it seems that someone is trying to attack the Crystal Palace and has blocked the news from me. I would like to know if you heard anything about it and who is behind it?"
"Oh, that's it. I heard some news before, it seems that Ferguson of Manchester United is more interested in some of your Crystal Palace players."
"Manchester United? Okay, I understand. Are there any other clubs?"
"At least for now, I only know about Manchester United. If I hear any more news in the future, I will tell you."
"Okay, thank you very much."
After hanging up the call from the little fat man, Mendes felt a move in his heart.
Is it true that only one Manchester United player is interested in the Crystal Palace player?
No, I really haven't heard any news about any club being interested in Crystal Palace players in a while.
Even the news about Manchester United that I heard before, no one mentioned it again.
Logically speaking, with Crystal Palace's current record so good, more and more clubs should be interested in their players.
Now there are none, which is very abnormal.
If it hadn't been for the phone call from the little fat man, Mendes would not have realized the strangeness of this matter.
After all, Crystal Palace now has no other business dealings except Ronaldo as his player.
However, Mendes is now very interested in this matter.
If the mastermind behind this incident could be unearthed and the news given to Chen Ran, it might pave the way for continued cooperation between him and Chen Ran.
You must know that he still owes Chen Ran a meal. Because of Mourinho's refusal, Mendes is now embarrassed to meet Chen Ran, who is also in London.
This incident can be used as an opportunity.
...
At the Crystal Palace Club, the fat man who received the news about Mendes immediately reported it to Chen Ran.
"Manchester United?"
Hearing this name, Chen Ran was both surprised and not surprised.
Not surprisingly, Manchester United will take action.
Surprisingly, only Manchester United took action.
"Is Manchester United the only one taking action?"
Chen Ran asked worriedly.
"At least that's what Mendes said." The little fat man shrugged.
"You can't just listen to Mendes' side of the story."
Chen Ran knocked on the table, called the little fat man to the desk, and whispered.
"Louis, find a reliable person, pretend to be a tabloid reporter, and then find a private investigator."
"Using the excuse of collecting hot transfer news, let them follow our main players in Crystal Palace."
"As long as we find evidence of their contact with other clubs, we will give them high bonuses."
"..."
Louis was dumbfounded. What was Chen Ran going to do?
"Chen, is it necessary to find a private detective? Do you want to track our own players?"
"Of course it is necessary. This is to prepare for the worst possible situation in the future, do you understand?"
"Worst case scenario? Chen, you mean..."
"You must know that those who can take action against us are either wealthy or upstarts. Can you guarantee that no one of our players will be tempted?"
"Well...there's really no guarantee."
The little fat man scratched his fat head. Who can guarantee this kind of thing?
"So, if someone really wants to leave, even if the contract has not expired, can you keep the person and keep your heart?"
"Even if we force someone to stay, if someone whose mind is not with us remains in the team, it will seriously damage the team's atmosphere, which will make it worse."
"At this time, these photographed evidence of private contact with players will be of great use."
At this point, Chen Ran stopped, and with a smile, he picked up the cold coffee on the table and took a sip. It was so delicious.
"Oh! Chen, you mean that we can use this evidence to sue those clubs to UEFA?"
Only then did the little fat man suddenly realize that Chen Ran's killer move was here.
"That's right. You must know that the transfer rules clearly stipulate that clubs are not allowed to contact players privately."
"Ahem, but, Chen, this kind of thing is very common. Everyone does it, and we ourselves do it a lot."
