"Chen, the World Ford Treasure program team of Huaguo Sports Channel wants to do an exclusive interview with you, will you agree?"

The night after he arrived in Shanghai, Stephen received an interview invitation from the sports channel.

"Oh? This is a good thing. Promise, of course you have to agree."

"Stephen, the Sports Channel's Tian Xia Ford Bao program is still very influential among Chinese fans. This is a good opportunity to expand Crystal Palace's influence in China."

"In this way, when you reply to the other party, ask them if they are interested in following the entire Crystal Palace trip in China in addition to the interview."

"Follow and take photos of all the itineraries?"

After hearing Chen Ran's thoughts, Stephen was thoughtful.

"Yes, the interview alone is too monotonous. We can combine the interviews before and after the game between Crystal Palace and Shanghai Flowers, as well as the opening ceremony of our youth training base on Smart Island, so that the content will be richer."

"Haha, Chen, you are borrowing a chicken to lay eggs."

After spending a long time with Chen Ran, the studious Stephen can now come up with a few idioms from time to time.

"That's right. If the World Ford Program can introduce Crystal Palace Club and our youth training program in detail, it will be much more effective than spending money on advertising."

"Okay, I know what to do."

After receiving Chen Ran's proposal relayed by Stephen, the World Ford Program team also thought this idea was good.

Therefore, the film crew of the World Ford Treasure program flew to Shanghai the next day, preparing to film the entire Crystal Palace trip to China.

Seeing this familiar young face in front of him, Chen Ran was filled with emotions.

Who would have thought that a program that was supposed to last forever would decline due to various reasons.

"Hello Mr. Chen, thank you very much for accepting our interview. I heard that it was you who came up with the idea of ​​filming the whole process. It's a great idea."

Seeing Chen Ran coming out to greet him in person, Duan Xuan, the host of the Ford Treasure program, quickly walked a few steps forward, shook hands and exchanged greetings.

"Haha, Mr. Duan is so polite. You are media professionals. You must have thought of this little suggestion of mine. It's not worth mentioning. It's not worth mentioning."

Duan Xuan also didn't expect that the billionaire in front of him had no airs at all, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

You must know that when Duan Xuan saw Chen Ran's information, he thought that this person who had achieved such high achievements under the age of thirty would be somewhat arrogant and would be difficult to deal with.

For this, he had made sufficient mental preparations. Now he found that it was not at all what he imagined.

Chen Ran and Duan Xuan were talking and laughing, as if they had been friends for many years.

The other program staff who followed Duan Xuan were also taken care of meticulously by Stephen and the club staff.

This made the staff of the Tianxia Fordbao program team feel flattered. Are they here to work or on vacation?

"Mr. Duan, you are a little older than me. I will call you Brother Xuan, and you can just call me Chen Ran. Do you think this is okay?"

"Ah? That's not okay. It's too rude."

Duan Xuan was startled, thinking that this rich man was too easy-going.

"Brother Xuan, are you looking down on me?"

Chen Ran deliberately pretended to be unhappy.

"No, absolutely not. Okay, then I'll call you Chen Ran."

Seeing Chen Ran's unwillingness to give up, Duan Xuan had no choice but to agree.

"Haha, that's right."

Seeing that Duan Xuan agreed, Chen Ran happily turned to look at Stephen.

"Stephen, open a few rooms on our floor for Brother Xuan and his staff."

"Ah? Chen Ran, there's no need for this. We have already booked a hotel, and the expenses will be reimbursed by Taipei."

Duan Xuan was shocked again when he saw that Chen Ran was going to book a room for himself and his group in this five-star hotel.

"It's okay, Brother Xuan, all the rooms on this floor have been booked by our Crystal Palace. There are no outsiders, so it's just free time. If you move here, it will be convenient for the subsequent filming work, and you won't have to run back and forth."

"Well...well, then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Duan Xuan looked at the eager eyes of his staff, thought about it and felt that what Chen Ran said was indeed reasonable, so he agreed in a good-natured manner.

After all, the funds allocated in Taiwan are limited, and they originally booked an ordinary three-star hotel. Now that they can move to a five-star hotel without spending a penny, who wouldn't want to change it?

After settling Duan Xuan and his party, Stephen came to Chen Ran's room.

"Chen, this Mr. Duan is just the host of a football show. Is it worth what you do?"

Although Chen Ran usually doesn't have any airs, this is the first time Stephen has seen him befriending someone so deliberately.

"One more friend means another path. And the influence of sports channels among Chinese fans is unimaginable. If we can have a friend of ours in the sports channels, the impact it can have, sometimes

It’s hard to achieve no matter how much money you spend.”

"Well, you must know better about the situation in China. You can do whatever you say."

"Well, I will entertain Duan Xuan personally. As for the staff who came with him, you can transfer two Chinese employees from Smart Island to be responsible for entertaining Duan Xuan's subordinates. I only have one request, and that is to let them

Felt like home.”

"Also, you ask the coaches to say hello to every team member, and a TV crew will follow us to film our entire trip in China. Let them all pay attention to their words and deeds, and don't make jokes for us.

Crystal Palace Club is in disgrace.”

"Don't worry, I will explain everything."

...

The game between Crystal Palace and Shanghai Flowers was scheduled for the weekend. Under the call of the Crystal Palace Tieba, the home base of Crystal Palace fans, many Crystal Palace fans who are not locals from Shanghai also began to flock to Shanghai from all over the country, just to come to the scene.

Watch this weekend's Crystal Palace game.

The game was held at the Hongkou Football Stadium, the home stadium of Shanghai Football Club. This is the first professional football stadium in China and can accommodate 35,000 people.

To the surprise of many people, tickets for a friendly match against Crystal Palace, a rising team, were sold out.

On the day of the game, countless fans wearing Crystal Palace jerseys gathered from all directions at the Hongkou Football Stadium.

The Crystal Palace players took the bus from the hotel to the Hongkou Football Stadium. When they saw the huge crowd of Crystal Palace fans outside the stadium on the bus, they couldn't help but exclaimed.

"I didn't expect our Crystal Palace to have so many fans in China."

"Yeah, before I came here I thought Chinese people only like to play table tennis."

"Shh, keep your voice down, there are cameras in the car filming.

...

Seeing the fans wearing Crystal Palace jerseys outside, Chen Ran also turned to look at Stephen sitting next to him.

"Stephen, have you seen it? We still have a lot of Crystal Palace fans in China. And I firmly believe that there will be more and more fans in the future."

"After you return to London this time, you will personally draw up a Chinese market development plan in order to provide better services to our fans in China."

"Okay, Chen, I will handle this matter personally."

Stephen knew there was a camera filming in the car and immediately agreed readily.

In order to maximize the publicity effect, Chen Ran, for the first time, asked the World Ford Film Team to bring the camera into the team's locker room to film the Crystal Palace's pre-game preparation meeting and Chen Ran's substitution adjustments during the halftime break.

There is nothing much to say about the game itself, just to repay the Crystal Palace fans who came to the scene.

Chen Ran sent out all the main players of Crystal Palace in the starting lineup, and even Vieira, who had just joined the team not long ago, also made an appearance.

Needless to say, in this kind of game, the one who stole the show was naturally Cristiano Ronaldo, who performed all kinds of extraordinary tricks in turn, making the defenders of the Shanghai Flower spin around.

In the first half, Crystal Palace scored a goal each from Cristiano Ronaldo, Toni and Modric, taking a 3:0 lead.

Fifteen minutes into the second half, Chen Ran began to substitute substitute players one after another.

For example, Dzeko, Suarez, Vardy, Pique from the youth team, and even Bale, who had just graduated from high school and was recruited by Chen Ran to Crystal Palace, all got the opportunity to play.

When they saw Chen Ran subbing the main players off the field one after another, the fans at the scene thought that Crystal Palace was going to retreat at the drop of a hat.

Who would have known that these substitute players were all full of energy and performed even more actively than the main players.

Especially the kids from the youth team, who usually have no chance to show off their abilities in front of head coach Chen Ran.

Now that you have finally waited for an opportunity, why don't you just play with your life?

At this moment, the players of Shanghai Football Club were in bad luck.

Because of the different competition systems between the two countries, although Crystal Palace is currently in the offseason, Shanghai City are in the middle of the season.

Seeing that the Crystal Palace side had replaced the main players, the head coach of Shanghai Football Club, the Russian Nepomniach, also replaced the team's main players.

But Nepomniacki never expected that the Crystal Palace substitutes would play more vigorously and with more dedication.

Therefore, throughout the second half, Shanghai City were firmly suppressed by Crystal Palace in their own half, and Dzeko, Suarez and Vardy each scored a goal.

In the end, Crystal Palace defeated the Shanghai Flower with a big score of 6:0 at the Hongkou Football Stadium. Chen Ran was a little embarrassed when he shook hands with Nepomniacki after the game.

Before the game was over, Crystal Palace's forum had already exploded.

"I see, when I watch the Premier League on TV, I don't think it's so fierce when I watch Crystal Palace live."

"That's right. When Chen Ran replaced the main players in the second half, I thought this game would be like this. Unexpectedly, Crystal Palace's substitute players were even more powerful, and they suppressed the Shanghai Flower and couldn't get past halftime."
