As a last resort, Chen Ran had to adopt Plan B and asked Guardiola to go to Barcelona to exercise first, and wait until he accumulates some experience before returning to coach Crystal Palace.

After talking about the main business, Chen Ran stayed at Guardiola's house for lunch. In the following time, he took a break from his busy schedule to accompany Cheriel in Barcelona for a few days.

Because Chen Ran had a premonition that he would definitely be very busy this summer, and he probably wouldn't have time to accompany Cheriel on vacation.

......

Just as Chen Ran flew to Barcelona, ​​Mendes also flew from Madrid to London.

In Ronaldo's newly purchased mansion, Mendes, who came here for the first time, visited around with great interest.

"Jorge, you insist on me staying and waiting for you. If you have any problems, just tell me quickly. I'm still waiting to go on vacation."

Ronaldo, who accompanied Mendes to visit his new home, complained impatiently.

He just changed his new girlfriend, and he was in a passionate manner, so how could he have the heart to talk to an old man?

"Aren't you a woman? Chris, with your current development momentum, I'm afraid you will become the dream lover of countless women in the future. So you should be a little taller, and can't you just look at the outside and show it?"

"I understand. Jorge, you just came here to tell me this, right?"

Ronaldo rolled his eyes speechlessly. He was at the age of hormonal dysfunction, so where could he hear this?

"Of course not. Chris, are you interested in transferring to Real Madrid?"

"Real Madrid? Mourinho's team? He asked you to be a lobbyist?"

Both are a client of Mendes and a fellow Portuguese fellow, the relationship between Ronaldo and Mourinho is really average.

Both of them have a proud and conceited personality and can't pee in a pot at all.

"That's right, Jose wants to invite you to join Real Madrid and let me ask you for your opinion." They are all their own people, and Mendes has nothing to hide.

"No! I stayed well at Crystal Palace. Why do I go to Real Madrid for no reason?"

"What's more, when I get there, everything needs to be adapted again. Am I not causing trouble for myself?"

Ronaldo waved his hand and directly rejected Mourinho's invitation.

Just kidding, he just spent a lot of money to buy this luxury house in London and was about to move in a few days. He was so full.

"That's Real Madrid! Didn't you say before that when you were a child, your biggest wish was to join Real Madrid?"

"Is there any? That's not now. Mourinho is the boss's defeat. If I join Real Madrid, I will basically bid farewell to the Champions League championship trophy. I'm not stupid."

When Mendes heard that Ronaldo looked down on Mourinho without any concealment, he could only smile bitterly and shook his head. There is no way, who can tell the truth?

"I understand what you mean. Then, let's talk about serious things."

"Serious things? Why? Wasn't that just now considered serious things?"

Ronaldo glanced at Mendes, a little surprised.

"I know you will most likely not agree, so I just asked Jose to mention it by the way, which can be regarded as fulfilling my responsibilities."

"I'm here to find you this time. The real purpose is to take advantage of the fact that Jose wants to invite you to join Real Madrid Club and talk to Chen Ran about giving you a raise."

No one in ancient and modern times will refuse wage increases.

When he heard that he had the opportunity to raise the salary, Ronaldo, who was still a little unhappy, suddenly became much more energetic.

"Jorge, can I really get a salary increase? I only increased my salary one year ago. Now there are three years left in the contract. Will the boss agree to give me a salary increase?"

After carefully considering his contract situation, Ronaldo was a little unsure.

"Haha, Chris, this kind of thing is the job of an agent, so you can leave it to me."

"Although you only increased your salary once the year before, your performance in the past two seasons is obvious to all, and your contribution to Crystal Palace is one of the best."

"Especially in the Champions League final not long ago, when you were kicked in the stadium with blood stains for the goal, I believe Chen Ran would not fail to express it."

Mendes pointed to the scars that could still be seen in Ronaldo's left eye and said with confidence.

After touching the corner of his eyes, Ronaldo seemed to have confidence.

"Okay, let's leave this matter to you. But, Jorge, how much do you plan to increase?"

"I don't think we can't go too far. Just use your current annual salary as the benchmark, how about a 50% increase?"

"Gudu..."

When Ronaldo heard Mendes' offer, he couldn't help swallowing.

He is now the maximum salary of Crystal Palace Club, with an annual salary of 5 million euros.

A 50% increase is 7.5 million euros. According to the custom of England, it is a weekly salary of 144,200 euros.

Don't forget that it's only 2008, and Ronaldo is just 23 years old.

"Jorge, isn't this going to take a little more?"

"Haha, Chris, 7.5 million euros is our goal. The offer I offer to Chen Ran will not be that small. After all, I still have to leave room for bargaining for Chen Ran."

"Then how much do you plan to offer?"

"Double the annual salary of 10 million euros."

"OMG! Jorge, are you asking for a price that is too harsh?"

The young Ronaldo was really shocked by Mendes's lion's big mouth.

"Oh, Chris, bargaining is like this. You don't have to worry about these things, just take your new girlfriend on vacation happily, and wait for my good news."

"Okay, then this matter will be left to you. However, Jorge, I want to remind you, be careful and don't make a fuss with your boss. After all, I still have to stay here."

"Don't worry, I know it."

......

Chen Ran, who had been with Cheryl in Barcelona for a few days, just returned to London, was blocked in the office by the fat little Louis.

"Chan, you are quite happy. You traveled to Barcelona with Cheryl, and even the Spanish gossip tabloids have published photos of you."

The little fat man in charge of the intelligence collection work of the Crystal Palace Club directly placed the newspaper with photos of Chen Ran and Cheryl playing on the beach in Barcelona on the table in front of him.

"Why are you collecting this for nothing?"

Chen Ran glared at the fat man with annoyance.

"Haha, don't be too busy glaring at me, you've even logged in on your visit to Guardiola's house."

I picked up the newspaper and looked at the content carefully. It was as the fat man said. It seemed that Spanish media reporters were quite capable.

"Recently, the Barcelona club has released a fire and is preparing to invite Guardiola to replace Rijcalde as head coach. The Spanish media said that you are going to stay Guardiola in person."

Chen Ran was not surprised to hear the fat man's retelling.

Building momentum and hype and paving the way for Guardiola to take office are all common techniques.

"It's not just that, Mourinho jumped out lonely. In an interview with the media, he said that our Crystal Palace is full of talents and he really hopes to introduce some excellent players from Crystal Palace, and also revealed that Real Madrid has issued a quote to us."

The fat man pulled out another newspaper with a photo of Mourinho and pointed to one of the reports and said.

"So, there are always unruly people who want to harm me..."

Looking at Mourinho's energetic smiling face in the newspaper, Chen Ran couldn't help but twitch slightly.

This guy had just arrived in Spain for a season and won a La Liga championship. He had already started to get a little bit frivolous and forgot all the lessons he had learned under his hands.

Now he dares to openly provoke, and it seems that he still has to deal with it!

Find out the current roster of Real Madrid clubs, Chen Ran plans to teach Mourinho a lesson to give him a long memory.

But after looking back and forth several times, there was no player that Chen Ran could like.

It’s not that these players are not capable, but that Chen Ran’s lineup for Crystal Palace is really too strong.

Even the main players of Real Madrid can only sit on the bench and wait for the opportunity to rotate when they arrive at Crystal Palace.

"Bang!"

Chen Ran helplessly slapped the Real Madrid roster on the table. He really couldn't convince himself to spend a lot of money to buy a player he looked down upon.

Forget it, let Mourinho go this time.

"Louis, have those private detectives get any valuable news recently?"

"Chan, now London is almost becoming a player trading center. I know just that there are more than a dozen staff members in charge of transfer affairs of wealthy clubs appearing in London."

"Oh? It's not that it's all related to our Crystal Palace, right?"

Chen Ran's heart sank, and he turned to look at the fat little man Louis sitting aside.

Unfortunately, what he saw was the fat man nodding heavily.

"It should be. Although they have not had direct contact with our players yet, based on the photos provided by those private detectives, it has been found that they have joined the agents of our players."

"What agents did those guys contact?"

"All the main players are not spared, plus a few other players who often play."

“Fxxxk!”

Chen Ran couldn't help but swear, "Do you know the specific progress?"

"This is not clear yet. However, judging from the situation in front of you, these contacts should be still in the initial stages."

"After all, if there is real progress, then the players will definitely be involved."

The little fat man comes from a family of agents and is very familiar with the operation of transfers. Chen Ran still trusts his judgment very much.

"Louis, next you have to focus on which players stay in London and don't go out for vacation."
Chapter completed!
