Chapter 2 on fire

Selhurst Park is the home stadium of Crystal Palace Club, located in Croydon, South London, and can only accommodate more than 26,000 people.

Just like the Crystal Palace Club's status in London, it is inconspicuous.

The season hasn't started yet, so many reporters came to the empty stadium today.

"I heard that the Crystal Palace is going to change owners today. Do you know who the new owner is?"

"I don't know, it's quite mysterious."

"Could it be some foreign mysterious rich man, just like Russia's Abramovich bought Chelsea last month?"

"What are you thinking about? Although Chelsea is not a wealthy club, it is still a Premier League club. Crystal Palace is only a Championship team. Which rich man would buy a second-division club?"

"That's true. It seems that the new boss has limited financial resources. I'm afraid the news today is not strong enough."

"You're here, just write whatever you want."

Before the real host appeared, several reporters who were familiar with him got together and started chatting.

At this time, Chen Ran had already brought his two good brothers to the gate of the stadium.

"Uncle Henry, long time no see, how are you doing lately?"

Chen Ran had been an intern at the Crystal Palace for three months before and met Uncle Henry, the janitor.

"Hey, Chen, haven't you finished your internship? Why did you come to the stadium today?"

"I'm here for the press conference."

"What? You became a football reporter?"

"No, I bought the Crystal Palace."

After that, Chen Ran ignored the stunned Uncle Henry and walked straight into the stadium.

At the press conference, reporters suddenly discovered that the former chairman of Crystal Palace walked in accompanied by a young man.

He looks like an Asian. Could this be the new owner of Crystal Palace? The reporters suddenly became a little more interested.

After the announcement of the change of ownership of the Crystal Palace, a small forest suddenly appeared at the press conference, and almost every reporter raised their hands to ask questions.

"Mr. Chen, are you Japanese?"

"I am Chinese."

"Why did you buy Crystal Palace Club?"

"Because I like football."

"With all due respect, Chinese football is very backward. Do you have the ability to run a British club well?"

"Of course, I am very confident. In fact, I worked as an intern here for three months before acquiring the Crystal Palace club. I would not have acquired it if I was not sure."

"I see, it seems that you are well prepared. So what is your goal after acquiring Crystal Palace Club? To reach the Premier League?"

"Haha, my ideals are very lofty. I plan to build Crystal Palace into the strongest football club in the world. As for the Premier League, that is just a small goal."

"oh......"

As soon as Chen Ran said these words, there was an uproar on the scene.

Even the former chairman of Crystal Palace, who was sitting next to Chen Ran, couldn't help but turn his head and look at him.

It’s great to be young!

"Since Mr. Chen's ideals are so lofty, why not directly acquire Manchester United, Arsenal or Liverpool? Is it because there is not enough money?"

"I don't buy these clubs because they are already championship teams. Even if I do well after the acquisition, it will just add a few championship trophies. People will only say that this guy continues the team's championship tradition

, did a pretty good job.”

"This is not what I want."

"What I want is to create a football dynasty from scratch."

"It's fitting that Crystal Palace has never won any significant trophies."

"OMG, Mr. Chen, are you sure what you just said?"

"certainly."

After repeatedly confirming Chen Ran's statement, the reporters in the audience seemed to have been given a shot.

Today is not in vain. This guy from China is very cooperative. The news is strong enough.

Louis and Stephen, who were standing by and watching, broke out in cold sweat. As soon as the press conference ended, they immediately protected Chen Ran and rushed out of the circle of reporters who were still interested.

"Boss, you are crazy. You will attract many enemies if you do this."

Louis was so anxious that his face turned red, because being with such a boss would be too much of a test on his heart.

"Are you scared?" Chen Ran patted Lewis on the shoulder and asked.

"Chen, what do you think?" Stephen was relatively calm.

"What do you think the Crystal Palace club's status is in English football?"

"very common."

"What about in world football?"

"Well... let's be unknown."

"Yes, many people may not know that this team exists. We will need to recruit a lot of players next time, but we are neither a wealthy club nor can we give high salaries. We are even just a second-tier league team."

Having said this, Chen Ran stopped deliberately and looked at his two friends meaningfully.

"Chen, do you mean to use these reporters to raise the reputation of Crystal Palace first?" Stephen responded quickly.

"Smartness. Fame is also a kind of wealth. Although in a short period of time, most of the fame will be negative. But as long as we continue to achieve one goal after another in the future, the ridicule now is just a stepping stone on our road to success."

Before Chen Ran was reborn, the obscene development of Gou characters was very popular in online novels.

However, he didn't want to do this.

Chen Ran thought very clearly that he was neither in the world of immortals, nor in the world of fantasy, nor was he returning to some troubled times without life and death crises everywhere.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person. It was rare for him to be reborn, and with the system around him, he couldn't live a more relaxed life?

As expected, the Crystal Palace Club became popular, and so did Chen Ran.

As long as the English media covering football, whether it is TV, newspapers or the Internet, all have focused on the Crystal Palace transfer incident, and even some continental European media have also reprinted these reports.

Some media even put Chen Ran's photo on the front page.

"Please remember this face, the founder of the football dynasty, the mysterious man from the East."

"The Crystal Palace is in the hands of an idealist."

"Confidence or arrogance? It's a psychological question."

"The Premier League is just a small goal."

In the Crystal Palace Club Chairman's Office, Chen Ran watched with interest the various reports collected by Louis and Stephen.

"Tsk, tsk, the photo is not handsome enough."

Looking at his front page photo, Chen Ran expressed dissatisfaction.

"OMG, Chen, now is not the time to talk about photos."

Louis covered his head and felt that he had a headache.

"Okay, isn't this what we expected? And hasn't our goal been achieved now? When has the Crystal Palace been reported by so many media?"

"That's true. However, Chen, I'm afraid your reputation has already..."

"Strong people are always jealous of others, just get used to it."
