Chapter 85 One hundred million euros
"Hey, Chen, are you still listening?"
Seeing that Chen Ran didn't reply for a long time, Stephen asked further.
"Oh? Yes, I'm thinking about how to reply. In this way, you agree to the interview with these two media first, but the time has to be decided by us. These two media are bitter enemies and cannot be arranged together."
"Ok, I see."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ran sat on the sofa and began to carefully consider whether his idea was feasible.
"Honey, what are you thinking about? It's time to eat."
"Ah? Oh, I'm thinking about some things at work. Can I eat? That's great, I'm going to starve to death."
Chen Ran immediately got up and went to help Cheryl carry the plate. It was rare that both of them were free. It was better not to let other things disturb their world today.
After relaxing for a while, Chen Ran was invited to a coffee shop to meet Wenger.
Before coming, Chen Ran also thought repeatedly about why Wenger wanted to see him.
Could it be that Arsene Wenger saw that I was gifted with extraordinary talent, my bones were amazing, and that I was a genius as a coach, so he wanted to take me on as his apprentice?
Shaking his head, Chen Ran immediately drove away this unreliable YY that popped up in his mind.
After thinking about it, whether it is Chen Ran or Crystal Palace, probably only the talented players he has collected so hard can attract Wenger's interest.
It is estimated that Wenger wanted to buy my group of players. The more Chen Ran thought about it, the more he felt that this was the reason.
However, these players were all recruited by him with great difficulty, and it is impossible to sell them to Arsenal.
It seemed that falling out with Arsenal was inevitable, and Chen Ran suddenly had this realization in his heart.
When I saw Wenger again, he was still so gentle, elegant and personable.
In the football coaching industry, due to the huge pressure, it is common to have a bad temper, and "hair dryers" like Ferguson are everywhere.
But for a coach like Wenger who has been a coach for more than 30 years, even when he retires, no player has a bad word to say about him. This is very rare.
"Mr. Wenger, why do you want to see me?"
After the pleasantries, Chen Ran bluntly stated his questions.
Young people are just impatient, Wenger couldn't help but sigh.
"Mr. Chen, since you want to know the answer so much, I will tell you directly. There are many excellent players in your team. Arsenal is very interested. Are you willing to sell them?"
When Chen Ran heard this, he realized that it was indeed the same as his own judgment, and he immediately shook his head decisively.
"Mr. Wenger, I'm sorry, these players are not for sale."
"Haha, Mr. Chen, how can there be such a thing as not for sale in this world? The so-called not for sale is just that the price is not high enough."
Wenger smiled and shook his head. He had seen this kind of routine too many times.
"Indeed, I also agree with your point of view, Mr. Wenger. However, I am afraid that the price I have set for the Crystal Palace players is not acceptable to Arsenal."
"Oh? Then tell me, what price did you set for those players? For example, Ronaldo, who you bought from Sporting Lisbon for 10 million euros, how much do you plan to sell it for now?"
Hearing Chen Ran's tone of voice, Wenger was both angry and funny.
As a majestic Premier League club, Arsenal can't afford players from a small English Championship team, Crystal Palace?
"Cristiano Ronaldo? My price for him now is 100 million euros."
"What? Ahem..."
The coffee Wenger just took into his mouth almost spit out.
"Mr. Chen, I am discussing this matter with you very seriously. Please don't joke."
Wenger's face darkened. Apparently he thought Chen Ran was playing tricks on him and was a little unhappy.
"I'm really not kidding, Mr. Wenger." Chen Ran looked into Wenger's eyes sincerely.
"I really think Ronaldo is worth the price. I am very optimistic about him. He will be the future World Footballer."
"Moreover, if the time is changed to ten years later, the price I will give Ronaldo will no longer be 100 million euros, but 200 million euros."
Wenger was completely speechless now.
How can we talk about this?
Wenger looked at Chen Ran carefully and felt from Chen Ran's firm eyes that he was speaking the truth.
Damn it, 100 million euros?
If Arsenal can afford 100 million euros, will they still refuse to pay a high price to buy someone from Sporting Lisbon? Will Cristiano Ronaldo get your Crystal Palace in turn?
It seems that this little guy from China really doesn't want to betray anyone, and Wenger is mentally prepared at this time.
"What about other people's prices? Isn't it also 100 million euros?"
Although he was prepared in his heart, Wenger still asked without giving up.
"That doesn't mean that Ronaldo is the most expensive. But, I don't think you will agree with the prices I set for other people. So is there any need to say anything?"
"Are they all very tall?"
"very high."
Wenger finally gave up and started chatting with Chen Ran about some experiences and interesting things about coaching the team.
Wenger's cultivation is really good. Even if Chen Ran rejected his request, he still didn't just turn away and leave, let alone Chen Ran just snatched the League Cup championship from him.
No wonder no player said bad things about him. It's really hard to dislike such a person.
Chen Ran had information from his previous life, and he knew the future development direction of football very well. For a while, he and Wenger were having a very lively conversation, and their conversation was very speculative.
When they parted, Chen Ran held Wenger's hand and sighed:
"Mr. Wenger, if you meet a generous boss, your achievements will be much greater than what you are now."
Wenger just smiled and shook his head and said nothing.
The meeting with Wenger turned out to be quite good, which made Chen Ran relieved.
After all, the consequences of falling out with a Premier League giant are still very serious for the fledgling Crystal Palace.
Chen Ran was unwilling to do this unless it was absolutely necessary.
Moreover, he knew that this was Wenger, and if it were Ferguson, 10,000% would turn against him.
After taking care of Wenger, Chen Ran turned his attention to "Sports Weekly" and "Ford News".
In this era where traditional media still dominate the mainstream, apart from sports channels, these two domestic media reporting on football have the greatest influence.
The sports channel is superior, and Chen Ran is self-aware, but he probably doesn't have the weight to make the sports channel work for him now.
So, if I want to plan for youth training in the country in the future, I will definitely not be able to avoid the publicity channels of these two newspapers in the early stage.
Otherwise, I have to do youth training and select talents, but few people know the news. Wouldn't that be too funny?
Now that these two families have come to visit me, it's perfect for someone to give me a pillow just when I'm about to fall asleep.
After all, one is asking others to do things, and the other is asking others to do things for oneself.
If one is passive and the other is active, the situation is completely different.
