Immediately afterwards, Chen Ran asked the staff to use a projector to display several beautiful hand-drawn drawings of the new Crystal Palace stadium.

"oh!"

There was an exclamation of exclamation at the scene.

"How beautiful!"

"No wonder the Chinese dared to say that after the new stadium is completed, it will become a landmark building in London."

"If it can really be built like in the picture, then he really isn't exaggerating."

"Indeed, even now I can't wait to see this new stadium."

"But if you really want to build it like this, it will definitely cost more than a normal football stadium, right?"

"That's for sure. Didn't you hear the introduction? The entire stadium exterior is made of steel structure and tempered glass. How can it be cheaper?"

"Tsk, tsk, this Chinese guy really doesn't do anything, but when he does, he makes a big deal."

"Let's not talk about anything else. As far as building this Crystal Palace stadium is concerned, I support him."

"Yes, I support it too. I'm a little excited when I think that London will have the only Crystal Palace stadium in the world in the future."

"Me too."

...

The three shock bombs thrown by Chen Ran were surprisingly effective.

In particular, the Crystal Palace club's construction of a new Crystal Palace-style stadium overshadowed the news of Arsenal captain Vieira's transfer to Crystal Palace and made the front pages of major media.

“The wonders of nineteenth-century British architecture are about to return to London!”

"Crystal Palace builds the Crystal Palace, a classic reappears!"

"The Crystal Palace, which was destroyed by fire for nearly a century, will soon be restored!"

"Another landmark building in London is about to be born!"

"In any case, thank you to the Chinese man for bringing the classic back to life."

"Crystal Palace players who will play in Crystal Palace in the future will definitely be very happy."

...

"Chen, now our Crystal Palace is in the limelight."

The little fat man walked into Chen Ran's office out of breath, holding a thick stack of newspapers.

With a "Bang!" sound, it was thrown heavily on Chen Ran's desk.

Wiping the sweat on his forehead, the little fat man picked up the coffee on Chen Ran's table and drank it in one gulp.

"What are you doing? Isn't it just to be in the newspaper? Haven't I been on the front page of major newspapers? As for making such a fuss?"

Chen Ran glared at the little fat man with dissatisfaction. This guy was now the sports manager of the Crystal Palace Club, but he was still so reckless.

"Hey, it's different this time. Look at the top newspaper, I've laid it out for you."

The little fat man ignored Chen Ran's questioning and pointed at the pile of newspapers on the table.

Following the direction of the little fat man's finger, Chen Ran lowered his head and looked.

Good guy, on the front page of The Times, there is Chen Ran’s hand-drawn drawing of the new Crystal Palace stadium.

The content of the page also introduces that the Crystal Palace Club will rebuild the Crystal Palace that burned down in 1936. The new stadium will become a new landmark building in London.

Putting down the "Times" in his hand, Chen Ran immediately saw the "Daily Telegraph", "The Guardian", "Financial Times" and so on.

Without exception, the front pages of these newspapers were all Chen Ran's hand-drawn drawings of the new Crystal Palace stadium.

You know, these newspapers are not newspapers that specialize in reporting on football or even sports.

For example, The Times, The Daily Telegraph and The Guardian are known as the three major newspapers in the UK. They have considerable influence even around the world.

The Financial Times is also a famous newspaper in the economic field with influence around the world.

News about a football club could appear on the front pages of these major newspapers at the same time. No wonder the little fat man was so excited.

"Ahem, it seems that my Crystal Palace plan has a pretty good effect."

Chen Ran smiled slightly, looking calm, and picked up the coffee cup on the table to take a sip.

Damn it, I totally forgot that the little fat man had just finished the coffee.

...

Thousands of miles away in China, the popularity of the Crystal Palace Tieba has not declined because of the end of the Premier League.

On the contrary, all kinds of transfer news about the summer transfer period and all kinds of news about the Crystal Palace club are spreading all over the forum.

"Brothers, something big has happened. Crystal Palace has recruited Arsenal's captain Vieira!"

"I'll go! Is it true? Arsenal won't be in such a bad situation, right? Can't they even save their own captain?"

"It's true. It's spread all over the Internet now, and many media in England have also reported the news."

"Haha, with Vieira as a strong reinforcement, Crystal Palace will be even more powerful next season."

"That's for sure. It seems that Chen Ran is determined to win the European Champions Cup next season, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much money to introduce Vieira."

"There is something even more fierce. The Crystal Palace is going to build a new stadium, and it will have to adopt the appearance of the Crystal Palace that was destroyed by fire."

"Damn it, does Chen Ran play such a big game? It costs a lot of money to build a new stadium, right? Does Chen Ran have that much money?"

"We don't need to worry about it. The newspaper said that Chen Ran paid 200 million euros himself and got a bank loan for the rest. I will study in the UK and show you the front-page photos I took of major newspapers.

"

So, this Crystal Palace fan who was studying in the UK took pictures of the front pages of The Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian and The Financial Times, and uploaded them to the Crystal Palace forum.

"Let me go, this photo that looks like a palace is not what the new Crystal Palace stadium will look like, right?"

"Yes, that's what it looks like. It is said that this is the stadium exterior design that Chen Ran personally announced at the press conference."

"Isn't this too spectacular? This is not a stadium, this is obviously a palace."

"That's why it's called the Crystal Palace. This is also the origin of the name of the Crystal Palace Club. This is an optimized effect based on the Crystal Palace that hosted the World Industrial Exposition in 1851."

"I see, this is the first time I know how the Crystal Palace got its name."

"Crystal Palace Club plays in the Crystal Palace, haha, it seems like a tongue twister."

"It seems that Chen Ran really made a big deal this time."

"If this new stadium is built, I will definitely go to watch a Crystal Palace game and experience for myself what the real Crystal Palace is."

"Feel the same!"

“Same feeling +1”

"Sympathy +2"

...

Since the announcement of Chen Ran's plan for the new Crystal Palace stadium, its influence has been like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing countless splashes and ripples, and continues to spread outward.

"Chen, there's good news again."

The sound comes first before the person arrives. This is usually something that little fat boy Lewis does.

However, it was Stephen who did this today.

Following the sound, Stephen walked into Chen Ran's office with a red face and a document in his hand.

"What good thing makes you so excited? Did someone give you money?"

Chen Ran looked at Stephen funny and joked casually.

"Someone really sent us money."

With a "pop" sound, Stephen slapped the document in his hand onto Chen Ran's desk.

"Just say it directly, why are you making any detours?" Chen Ran did not go to get the documents, but looked at Stephen.

"According to your request, haven't we been discussing jersey advertising and new stadium naming sponsorship with Emirates? Now there are results."

"It looks like the result is good, right?"

"That's right. We had disagreements with Emirates over the sponsorship period of 200 million euros. We wanted to calculate it based on five years, and Emirates wanted to calculate it based on ten years. Now, because your Crystal Palace new stadium plan has too much influence, Emirates Airline

Compromised."

"Oh? This is really good news. What? They agreed to calculate it based on five years?"

Chen Ran was also interested. The 200 million euro jersey advertisement plus the new stadium title sponsorship, if calculated over five years, means that Emirates will sponsor Crystal Palace for 40 million euros every year. This is an astronomical figure.

ah.

"Yes. But Emirates also made its own demands."

"you say."

"They requested that jersey advertising and stadium naming be divided into two contracts and signed separately."

"Among them, jersey advertising is 20 million euros per year for a total of five years, effective from next year."

"The stadium naming rights are 20 million euros per year for a total of fifteen years, which will take effect when the new stadium is opened."

After listening to the requirements of Emirates Airlines relayed by Stephen, Chen Ran finally understood what the other party meant.

It seems that his plan for the new Crystal Palace stadium impressed the financial backers behind Emirates Airlines.

Imagine that once the Crystal Palace Club's world's first palace-style football stadium is completed, it will surely attract attention from all over the world.

By then, Emirates Airlines, which has named this world-famous new stadium, will surely become famous.

Such a huge advertising effect is the key reason for attracting the investors behind Emirates Airlines to place heavy bets.

Who said these oil tycoons are stupid and rich?

Chen Ran was the first to stand up and object.

How well-planned this is.

"Stephen, I have no objection to the two sponsorships being signed separately. I have no objection to the jersey advertising for a total of five years and 20 million euros per year."

"However, for the naming rights of our new stadium, Emirates wants to sign a 15-year contract at a price of 20 million euros per year. Isn't it a bit too fancy?"

Chen Ran tapped the index finger of his left hand rhythmically on the table of his desk and looked at Stephen.

"Well... fifteen years is a bit long, but the price of 20 million euros is actually not low."

Stephen hesitated. In fact, he was very satisfied with the contract proposed by Emirates Airlines.

The jersey advertising lasts for five years, 20 million euros per year, which is 100 million euros;

Coupled with the stadium naming rights of 20 million euros per year for fifteen years, this is another 300 million euros;

Adding the two contracts together, the total amount has reached 400 million euros.

This is definitely an unprecedented super-large contract. Once it is announced, it will definitely blind everyone.

"Stephen, we have to take a long-term view. Yes, the offer from Emirates Airline is indeed very generous to the current Crystal Palace Club."

"But our Crystal Palace is an emerging wealthy club that is rising rapidly. Let alone fifteen years, even five years from now, we will be far from being comparable to the current Crystal Palace."

"I can guarantee you that within these five years, we will definitely be able to win the European Champions Cup. As for the Premier League championship trophy, you may be tired of watching it by then."

"Tell me, will you still think that a contract of 20 million euros per year is good at that time?"

"this......"

Stephen smiled bitterly. If it is like what Chen Ran said, 20 million euros will indeed not be considered a big contract by then.

However, who can guarantee that all this can be achieved?

Looking back on the two years he and Chen Ran have been running the Crystal Palace Club together, Stephen has to admit that some of the seemingly unbelievable plans that Chen Ran threw out at the beginning have now been realized, and some are on the way to be realized, and they seem to have hope of success.

Very big.

This time, Stephen was convinced by Chen Ran again.

"Chen, according to your opinion, what is the appropriate price for us to offer Emirates?"

"The stadium naming rights for fifteen years can remain unchanged, but the amount must be increased in stages."

"The first five years will be calculated at 20 million euros per year, the second five years will be increased to 30 million euros per year, and the third five years will be 40 million euros per year."

"Gudu..."

Stephen couldn't help but swallowed.

What does it mean for a lion to open its mouth? He finally saw it today.

If Chen Ran's request is followed, Emirates will have to pay 450 million euros just for the naming rights of the stadium. It seems that he is still too kind.

"Chen, can Emirates agree to your conditions?"

"Haha, if you don't give it a try, how do you know they won't agree? Besides, if they don't agree, we can still talk slowly. If they agree, we will make money."

"All right."

...

Chen Ran did not expect that the conditions he proposed would soon receive a reply from Emirates Airlines.

And, the other party actually agreed.

This made Stephen, who originally had no hope, so shocked that he couldn't even close his jaw.

This world is really too crazy.

As a normal person, am I a little behind the times?

"Chen, although Emirates Airlines agreed to your conditions, it also put forward some new requirements."

When Stephen came to report the situation to Chen Ran again, he was still in a daze.

"Let's talk, people have paid so much money, so they should make more demands. After all, the customer is God."

The God here is really expensive!

Stephen rolled his eyes and complained secretly in his mind.

"Emirates Airline heard that we have established a youth training base in China and proposed that we establish a similar youth training base in the UAE to promote the development of youth football in the UAE."

"No problem, I am willing to invest in youth training. It seems that the sponsor of Emirates Airlines is quite discerning."

"Another request is that we at Crystal Palace go to Dubai to play a friendly match every summer."

"Yes, it is our duty to serve God."
Chapter completed!
