Chapter 225: Start with a picture, the rest is all up to editing(1/2)
A similar situation has also happened again in Liverpool.
After receiving the invitation from Crystal Palace, Liverpool's senior executives also happily accepted it.
At this point, all four teams in the first International Champions League have been confirmed.
"Chen, you are not the International Champions League, it is obviously the Premier League Champions League."
Stephen, who came to report the results to Chen Ran, joked with a smile.
"Stephen, this is the first time we have held such a competition. We don't have much experience. Of course, we have to give priority to the team we are familiar with. If we can prove that the results are good this year, then we will make this event a real international champion next year.
Give me a cup.”
"I understand. Chen, Tom Hicks and George Gillette's two Americans have news. They ask when you have time and want to talk to you again."
"Is that so? It seems that they are really interested in my Galaxy Football Group program. Stephen, have you asked you to find all the information about the Major League of America?"
"I've been searching for it almost. I'll send someone to you later. However, Chen, when I was collecting these information, I discovered an interesting situation."
"Oh? Then tell me how interesting it is."
Because Chen Ran is now constantly launching various new major plans, Stephen, as the butler of Crystal Palace, is busy all day long. It must be very interesting to be able to attract his attention.
"In the Major League Soccer League, there is a team named Red Bull in New York. It was acquired by the Austrian Red Bull Group that makes sports drinks in March this year."
"Just last year, Red Bull Group also acquired an Austrian club and changed its name to 'Red Bull Salzburg'."
"I think this Red Bull Group seems to be doing the same thing as you, and they want to build a football group."
Red Bull?
Hearing this familiar name, Chen Ran quickly remembered many things from his memory.
Stephen is right, Red Bull Group does want to establish a football group.
From 2005 to Chen Ran’s rebirth, the football territory of Red Bull Group had basically taken shape.
In Austria, Germany, the United States, and Brazil, there were four football clubs in total. Even Ghana, Africa, once had a Red Bull team, but later it was abandoned for some reason.
The most powerful one is the German Red Bull Leipzig.
Of course, this is not the real name of this club.
Because only neutral names are allowed in the Bundesliga, the real name of this club is "Leipzig Grass and Earth Sports Association", but the English abbreviation just happens to be RB, just like the English abbreviation of Red Bull.
Compared with the four major leagues of the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1, which are open to foreign capital, the Bundesliga, which has always been known for its conservatism, can be said to be a strict defense against foreign capital's acquisition of German teams.
To this end, they also came up with a "50+1" policy.
The so-called "50+1" policy means that private investors or enterprises cannot own 50% or more of the equity of professional teams, and clubs must own more than 50% of the voting rights.
In order to avoid this policy, Red Bull Group played a slutty operation.
On the surface, they only hold 49% of the club's shares, but the other fans who have voting rights are almost all employees of Red Bull Group.
In this way, the Red Bull Group firmly grasped control of the Red Bull Leipzig.
However, although they successfully took advantage of loopholes, the Leipzig Red Bull was fully boycotted by other fans in the Bundesliga, and life was difficult.
"Stephen, that is, Red Bull Group has already made the first move in the Major League Soccer?"
"Yes, when it comes to American cities, we must not mention New York. Now Red Bull Group has bought the New York team first. If we really want to intervene in the Major League of American Professional Football, we will buy other cities' football balls.
Team, or offer a quote to Red Bull Group?”
"Haha, Stephen, what are you thinking? Since Red Bull Group bought New York Red Bull, how could it be sold to us?"
"Chan, then you mean..."
"Let's talk about Tom Hicks and George Gillette after I talk to you. They are Americans after all, and they are much clearer about the situation there than just looking at the information."
"Okay, then I'll arrange the time for you to meet."
......
Just as Chen Ran was busy discussing the Galaxy Football Group plan, in Italy, the little fat man Luis met Galliani, the butler of AC Milan.
"Mr. Galliani, our Crystal Palace's 30 million euros offer is very sincere. What else are you not satisfied with? Is anyone bid higher than us?"
Facing the football senior Galliani in front of him, the little fat man is now full of superiority.
Because he had already inquired, the situation in Italian football is so turbulent, almost all transfers have stagnated.
He is the only one who dares to jump around in Italy to talk about transfers and buy people.
Therefore, the fat man is not afraid of someone jumping out and snatching him.
If no one robs it, the price will be easy to negotiate.
"Mr. Ferger is indeed a family-leading source. You have a very good temperament of your father. I believe that in time, you will definitely surpass your father and become a top football agent."
Galliani, the old fox, is experienced. He knows that due to AC Milan's current situation, he can be said to be completely at a disadvantage. So facing the young man, the fat man, he sent the high hats one after another, and anyway, he moved his mouth and
No money spent.
"Haha, Mr. Galliani has won the award. But I don't plan to be an agent anymore. I think it's great to be a sports manager at Crystal Palace."
After all, the fat guy is still young, and he becomes a little arrogant after being beaten by Galliani, who is a big shot in the football world.
Fortunately, he still remembers his mission.
"Mr. Galliani, I believe you know better than me about AC Milan's current situation. Judging from the current investigations disclosed by the media, you and Juventus will definitely not be able to avoid the punishment. The only difference is that the punishment is the strength of the punishment.
How serious it is."
"I am very foreseeable, if you are under the penalty of demotion, by that time, there will be no quotation of 30 million euros. I believe Mr. Galliani understands this."
"Haha, Mr. Ferger is indeed amazing."
Galliani gave the little fat man a thumbs up.
Galliani, who is in his sixties, keeps flattering the little fat man in his early thirties. This skill is really impossible for ordinary people to do.
In this way, the two of them wandered around for a long time, and Galliani didn't let go. He neither agreed nor opposed it.
In the end, the little fat man, who was still a little immature, couldn't help but say "You think carefully", and then ran back to the hotel to call Chen Ran to report the situation.
"Chan, that old fox Galliani neither accepts nor refuses our offer. He is obviously using procrastination tactics."
It seems that Galliani is waiting for change.
As soon as he heard the fat man’s report, Chen Ran immediately understood Galliani’s thoughts.
It is estimated that Galliani is also very conflicted now. He knows that AC Milan is in a bad situation, but he still holds the hope of a miracle.
He did not refuse the offer from Crystal Palace in order to prevent the worst-case scenario;
He did not accept the offer from Crystal Palace. One was to hope for a miracle, and the other was to hope that other buyers would appear at this time to bid for Crystal Palace. In this way, even if AC Milan really wanted to sell the card, it could still sell it at a good price.
From the perspective of AC Milan CEO, it is understandable that Galliani does this, and even makes a very smart approach.
However, if you stand from the perspective of the Crystal Palace, the result will be bad.
Because Chen Ran knew very well that in this Italian phone door incident, only Juventus was eventually demoted, and AC Milan escaped.
If we really waited until then, AC Milan would definitely not sell Kaka. Even Kaka himself would probably not be willing to transfer.
Therefore, Galliani can drag it out, but Chen Ran can't drag it out.
"Luis, don't see Galliani again in the past two days."
"I will invite the Kaka and his wife to London to visit later. At that time, you can find a few reliable reporters and take some photos of me taking Cheryl to accompany the Kaka and his wife to the newspaper."
"Then I will send these newspapers to you, and you will take these newspapers to see Galliani again. Do you understand?"
"Okay, this method is good. Haha, I'll see what kind of expression Galliani looks like."
......
In the evening, when Chen Ran returned home and watched the drama with Cheriel again, he seemed to have said something unintentionally.
"Dear, didn't we invite Kaka and Caroline to London before? Now the season is over and I'm not that busy anymore. It just so happens that I'll play with them everywhere and relax."
"Okay, then I'll call Caroline now."
Hearing that Chen Ran was going to play with her, Shelley happily picked up his cell phone and dialed the phone.
After all, Chen Ran and Sheriel are usually busy, and the chances of being able to go out together are limited. So when she hears that Chen Ran has time now, Sheriel is very happy.
On Kaka, because it had agreed long ago, Crystal Palace was busy preparing for the Champions League final at that time. Kaka thought that going to London would disturb Chen Ran at that time, so he never made it.
Now that the Champions League final is over, Chen Ran invites you again, and if you shirke it, it will be really unreasonable. So when Caroline asked Kaka for his opinion, Kaka agreed without thinking too much.
Under the urging of Caroline, who had long been looking forward to her trip to London, she and Kaka flew to London the next day.
Chen Ran took Cheryl to the airport to pick him up. As soon as the two stepped into Heathrow Airport, they were discovered by paparazzi who were stationed in the airport.
Good guy, the news that Chen Ran and Cheryl, the star companion, appeared at Heathrow Airport, was spreading from ten to ten, and it soon attracted more and more reporters, plus the onlookers watching the fun
The British people really surrounded the two of them.
Fortunately, Chen Ran was prepared, so he went out to bring his bodyguards today, and the airport police who rushed to the news helped, and finally nothing happened.
"Mr. Chen, you'd better leave here as soon as possible, otherwise more and more people will gather, which is very unsafe."
