Before coming to see Evra, Chen Ran and the little fat man drew up a battle plan.

If Evra is a young and immature young man, then Chen Ran can personally take action to get closer to each other and leave a good impression.

If Evra is a shrewd guy, then Chen Ran's appearance may make him think that Crystal Palace attaches great importance to this transfer, and maybe he will temporarily increase the price.

For this reason, Chen Ran made an agreement with the little fat man that if he proposed to leave first because he had a date with someone, then the second plan would be implemented.

The negotiations were taken over by Louis, who was determined not to give Evra a chance to open his mouth.

After leaving, Chen Ran went straight back to the hotel where he was staying. It wasn't until late at night that the little fat man came back.

"Why so late? Have you been talking about it until now?"

Chen Ran stood up and opened the door for the little fat man and asked.

"Hey, Chen, it's just as you expected. Although Evra is young, he is a difficult guy. Fortunately, you left first, otherwise we might have been killed by him."

"What? He charges a high price?"

"The first thing I said was three times his current annual salary, plus bonuses."

"Just tell me the result directly."

"In the end, we talked about twice the annual salary, plus bonuses, and Evra was no longer willing to give in."

"I estimate that Evra's bottom line is about twice his current annual salary. As for whether he can get a bonus, it depends on his performance. Louis, you did a good job."

Chen Ran patted the little fat man on the shoulder and verbally praised him. The result was better than he expected.

Compared with Luis, a guy who comes from a family of agents, Evra and his agent are still a bit immature.

After taking care of Evra, Chen Ran asked the little fat guy to contact Monaco Club.

Monaco Club has always had a tradition of buying young players, training them, and then reselling them at a high price after being trained. Naturally, they will not refuse Crystal Palace's purchase request.

Although they did not win the Champions League this time, their players' worth could not rise to a higher level.

But the leeks are already mature, so you have to cut them when necessary, otherwise there will be no room to plant new leeks.

Because Chen Ran started early, no big team is targeting Evra yet.

In the absence of strong competitors, Monaco cannot offer high prices.

In the end, thanks to the doubles cooperation between Chen Ran and Little Fatty, Crystal Palace won the ownership of Evra for 5.5 million euros.

In this way, the rotation defect of the two wings of Crystal Palace that troubled Chen Ran has been initially solved.

Both Evra and Alves are versatile players on the wing who can play as full-backs, full-midfielders and even wingers.

No matter who has a problem, Cristiano Ronaldo, Chiellini, Ribery or Maicon, they can both take care of it.

Not long after Chen Ran returned to London, news came that Chelsea had acquired Robben.

Perhaps because of the intervention of Crystal Palace, PSV took the opportunity to raise the offer. Chelsea finally introduced Robben for 15 million pounds, which was much more than the 12 million pounds they paid in their previous life.

Thousands of miles away in China, as "Sports Weekly" and "Ford News" successively published interviews with Chen Ran, the name Chen Ran entered the field of vision of domestic fans for the first time.

"Crystal Palace? Isn't it the team that Fan Zhiyi and Sun Jihai played for before?"

"That's right, it's that team. I didn't expect that we Chinese are now the boss."

"Is this a British team bought by a wealthy man? It will cost a lot of money, right?"

"Of course. Although Crystal Palace is only a British Championship team and is far inferior to Manchester United and Arsenal, the Premier League giants, it still costs at least tens of millions of pounds."

"Ten million pounds? How many Chinese dollars is that?"

"Almost times ten."

"You're so good, that's hundreds of millions of dollars!"

"So he is a wealthy person."

"But who is this Chen Ran? He is said to be only in his twenties, so young? I have never heard of it."

"Is he the rich second generation of someone's family?"

"I read in the newspaper that this kid inherited a fortune. Because he likes football, he used the money to acquire the Crystal Palace Club."

"Damn it, this is pie in the sky! He just spent the money like this? What a waste, hundreds of millions..."

"I don't think it's a big deal. Buying a football club is at least a career, which is much better than those rich second generations who only know how to eat, drink and have fun."

"That's right. Anyway, Crystal Palace is now our Chinese team. I will pay attention to this team often in the future, but I don't know where the British Championship games are broadcast."

"You're out of date now. Now that Crystal Palace has entered the Premier League as the Champions League champions, next season we can see Crystal Palace play against Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea."

"Let me go, is this Crystal Palace so powerful?"

"There is something even more powerful. Crystal Palace not only won the English Championship, but also won the English League Cup last season. In other words, Crystal Palace can also participate in the UEFA Cup next season."

"Can teams from the Championship also participate in the UEFA Cup?"

"Crystal Palace participates in the UEFA Cup as League Cup champions and has nothing to do with the English Championship."

"It's really strong. It seems that Chen Ran has done a really good job. He has achieved such great results in the first season after acquiring Crystal Palace. I have decided that in addition to Manchester United games next season, I will also chase Crystal Palace games.

"

"Hehe, me too. In addition to Arsenal's games next season, I will also watch Crystal Palace's games."

"Ahem, I will watch the match between Liverpool and Crystal Palace."

"I watch Chelsea and Crystal Palace."

...

At this time, Chinese fans still maintained the habit of writing letters or making phone calls to newspapers.

After Chen Ran's report was published, both "Sports Weekly" and "Ford News" received a lot of feedback from readers, which made them even more interested in Chen Ran.

Xu Yuan, the president of "Sports Weekly" who reacted faster and was more courageous, decided to strike while the iron was hot and invited Chen Ran to return to China to attend the signing ceremony for Crystal Palace and "Sports Weekly" to jointly organize youth training in China.

Liang Feng, the reporter of "Sports Weekly" in London, immediately brought Xu Yuan's invitation to Chen Ran.

"Invite me back to your country?"

"Yes, Mr. Chen, our president very much hopes that you can attend this signing ceremony in person."

"Okay, I understand. But I need to make arrangements with the club first before I can determine the specific time to return to China. Is that okay?"

"No problem at all. Our president said that the time will be based on your arrangement, Mr. Chen."
