I just wanted to play football, but I became a Hollywood god

Chapter 384 The real Red Devil!Tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton!

"Hi Gu, how are you?"

Abu took the initiative to walk up to Gu Ran and extended his hand with a smile.

Gu Ran quickly shook hands with Abramovich and said with a calm expression: "Hello, Mr. Abramovich, it's an honor to see you here."

Abu is a top rich man!

Abramovich’s current disclosed wealth is US$220 billion—that is to say, he can buy at least 110 Southampton clubs.

This is only the property that can be disclosed. There will only be more gray properties that cannot be disclosed.

In comparison, Linda's husband Henry's wealth is only US$20 billion, which is only a fraction of Abramovich's public wealth, and he can only buy 10 Southampton clubs.

At the same time, Abramovich is also the only top rich man who is truly passionate about football.

The average football tycoon operates football as a half-hobby and half-business, but Abramovich really doesn't need to rely on the club to make money. He really just pays for whoever he likes. As for whether the club can make a profit, Abramovich never cares. This is something that Sister NO cares about.

Ordinary football tycoons rarely come to charity dinners featuring players in person, but Abramovich comes whenever he wants and doesn't care about the difference in worth.

Of course, this is because Mendes is so powerful. If he were an ordinary agent, it would be impossible for him to call Abramovich directly and form such an impressive position in such a short period of time.

What a pity...Abu 12 years later is really a bit miserable.

However, Gu Ran was really excited to see Abramovich in his heyday as a League One player.

This charity dinner is really full of big shots!

This wave of invisible worth will definitely increase a lot!

Abramovich laughed and said: "Marina showed me your video highlights. I was deeply impressed by your overhead shot and the world wave scimitar! How about it? Are you interested in coming to our Chelsea? I know Southampton Those guys who cannibalize others deliberately set your termination fee at 5000 million pounds, but as long as you nod your head, I can pay you 5000 million pounds at any time."

Old Les' face turned dark.

Next to him, Manchester City general manager Gary Cook also seemed to have something to say.

In fact, in terms of financial resources, Manchester City's current boss Mansour and the Abu Dhabi consortium behind him are far richer than Abu.

But the problem is that Mansour is not as hands-on as Abu, and compared to Abu, Mansour's behavior is more like investment.

Abramovich can directly make a decision and offer a minimum termination fee of 5000 million, but Gary Cook needs to submit a request for instructions first.

Therefore, no matter how arrogant Gary Cook is, he is still arrogant like a fox pretending to be a tiger, and he really dare not say anything in front of Abramovich.

Now, the big guys around Gu Ran were all worried, fearing that Gu Ran would agree directly if his head got hot.

Gu Ran smiled extremely calmly and experiencedly, "Thank you Mr. Abramovich for your kindness, but I feel that my strength is not enough and I am not worthy of Chelsea now. I still need to practice more in the English League. Wait for me I have almost finished my experience, and I will definitely reply to Mr. Abramovich first."

Abu is also a human being. Of course he understood what Gu Ran meant and knew that Gu Ran had given him the steps, so Abu smiled and patted Gu Ran's solid shoulder, "Okay! Then we've made a deal! You We are still so young, we have plenty of time, don’t we? In the meantime, if you need anything, just ask Marina. Marina——"

Sister NO left Linda and walked over with a smile, "I'm here, boss."

Abu said: "From now on, you will be solely responsible for signing Gu Ran to Chelsea. No matter what Gu Ran's request is, you can make the decision directly without asking me for instructions."

"Okay, boss." Sister NO's eyes became extremely hot when she looked at Gu Ran. Abu's words were the imperial edict. Now that there is an imperial edict, Sister NO can open her mind and do whatever she wants.

The atmosphere in the entire banquet hall has reached the point of turmoil.

The three waves of VIPs were obviously here to compete for Gu Ran.

Victoria, who was standing behind Gu Ran, was already shocked and shocked.

This is really the top social scene in football, but Gu Ran can handle it calmly and doesn't even look panicked.

Victoria originally thought that Gu Ran was just a "little brother", but she didn't expect that Gu Ran would be so big...

No wonder you don’t even smile at me.

It turns out it’s because I don’t have enough coffee spots...

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Victoria's face.

Just when Victoria felt that she was just a little shrimp who was not worthy of serving on the table, two more people walked into the banquet hall talking and laughing.

Victoria's eyes suddenly lit up!
The visitors were none other than Manchester United's Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Bobby Charlton!

Doesn't this mean someone from my mother's family is coming?

Victoria immediately separated the people in front of him and walked happily to Ferguson and Charlton while walking on catwalk.

"Hi! Alex! Bobby! You guys are here too!"

"Oh, Victoria?" Ferguson hugged Victoria happily as if hugging his own daughter.

Although Ferguson was a terrifying hairdryer in front of the players, he showed a paternal demeanor towards the players' families.

Even though Beckham is no longer a player of Manchester United, Ferguson still treats Victoria as his own daughter.

Ferguson praised: "Oh, my Victoria, you have been black again recently."

Victoria hugged Ferguson happily, "Thank you Alex, your face still looks so rosy."

Victoria is committed to tanning, and praising Victoria for being black is equivalent to praising Victoria for being beautiful, and Victoria is naturally elated.

Charlton also stepped forward and hugged Victoria warmly, "Victoria, how are you doing? How are the children at home?"

"Great Bobby, I really didn't expect you to come too." Victoria said with joy, "Come, let me introduce to you my good brother - Gu Ran."

Ferguson and Charlton's eyes widened in surprise at the same time.

They came here just for Gu Ran!
They were worried about how to talk to Gu Ran just now. With their status being so high, they couldn't just talk to Gu Ran, right?
Unexpectedly, Victoria and Gu Ran have such a close relationship!

This is really... a good sign!
Victoria walked up to the crowd with Ferguson and Charlton, and introduced them arrogantly: "Gu, this is Sir Alex Ferguson, and this is Sir Bob Charlton. They are both from our Manchester United." Legends of meritorious service—I think you should know them.”

The other big guys present were immediately in awe when they saw that even Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Charlton were present.

——In terms of financial resources, Ferguson and Charlton are indeed inferior to Abramovich.

However, if you want to leave your name in history, Ferguson and Charlton will definitely be more famous than businessman Abramovich.

The influence of Ferguson and Charlton on the entire football world cannot be measured in terms of money.

This is the real coffee position.

Needless to say, Ferguson is the legend of Manchester United. In a sense, Ferguson is Manchester United and Manchester United is Ferguson.

And Bobby Charlton is even more legendary.

Ferguson is only the coach of Manchester United, but Charlton has been playing football at Manchester United since he was a child. From an amateur player at Manchester United, he played as a professional youth player, and from the youth team he became the legendary star of Manchester United's main force "Busby Baby". Eventually became a senior member of Manchester United's board of directors.

The so-called Busby Babies refer to all the main players of Manchester United in the 1956/57 season. The average age of Manchester United's main players at that time was 22 years old. They were the youngest and most effective team among all European clubs at the time. Busby The Babes lived up to expectations. Under the leadership of Bobby Charlton and Duncan Edwards, Manchester United successfully defended the English top league championship that season.

Why is Charlton more legendary than Ferguson?
Not just because their generation of "Busby Babies" won the top league championship for two consecutive years, but because of the famous Munich air disaster in football history and the subsequent passionate reconstruction.

On February 1958, 2, the "Lord Polly" plane carrying Manchester United failed to take off on its third attempt and crashed when the runway of Munich Airport in West Germany was covered with snow at the time. There were 6 passengers and crew members on board. 44 people were killed, including eight Manchester United players and three club staff.

Also included was Duncan Edwards, who was hailed as England's star of hope at the time.

Bobby Charlton was thrown out of the cabin by the airwaves from the plane explosion. He was in a coma for several days and nights. In just a week, half of his hair fell out.

This air crash caused a huge and irreparable blow to Manchester United, which was gaining momentum.

Nearly half of the main players were killed, and most of the remaining players were seriously injured.

Seeing the teammates who fought together in the past being buried in graves, many surviving players suffered mental breakdowns and chose to retire with pain.

Manchester United has also suffered the most serious crisis in its history. The club without players is about to be disbanded.

But Bobby Charlton did not give in. He stood up tenaciously under the pressure of huge physical and mental pain. He and two other teammates swore in front of the grave of his dead teammate that they must rebuild a stronger team. of Manchester United.

Other clubs in England have also provided support to Manchester United. They have temporarily loaned their players to Manchester United for free so that Manchester United can assemble the necessary lineup for the game.

In this way, under the leadership of Bobby Charlton, a Manchester United team covered in patches from major clubs returned to the field.

At that moment, countless fans shed tears!Even the rival fans stood up and gave this Manchester United team a blessing and applause!

Manchester United survived the heavy losses, and in 1963, under the leadership of Charlton, they once again won the FA Cup and the league runner-up!

This is the true spirit of Manchester United, never give in and never give up!
Sir Bobby Charlton is a true Red Devil!

What is deplorable is that... such a tenacious and unyielding team was beaten to the bone and sucked out the marrow by the Jewish plutocrats.

The Red Devils, which cannot even be defeated by the Munich air disaster, will really become a joke if they cannot clean out the Jewish plutocrats.

With respect and regret in his heart, Gu Ran took the lead and held Sir Charlton's hand with both hands, "Hello, Sir Charlton, it is a great honor to meet a real legend here."

Charlton smiled and said: "Gu, you are great. It has been a long time since I saw a goal that made my blood boil. I really hope to see you put on the Red Devils jersey and stand at the Old Trafford in my lifetime." The pinnacle of merit.”

Jazz was very good at speaking, and he invited Gu Ran to join the team.

Coach Ferguson next to him also said with a smile: "Gu, I have a disciple named Dong Fangzhuo, but it's a pity that he was injured and couldn't play. This is my regret. I very much hope that I can make up for this regret with you."

The other big guys present all became nervous, including Abu. Everyone was worried that Gu Ran would agree to it in a hot head.

You know, these are the two legendary old men with the highest status in English football!

It must be the first time that two legendary old men deigned to attend a Vanity Fair dinner together!
Gu Ran quickly said politely: "Thank you two Sirs for your kindness, but I feel that my strength is not enough and I am not worthy of the current Manchester United. I still need to practice more in the English League. I will wait for my experience." That’s almost it, I will definitely reply to Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Charlton first.”

Abu: OK!Well done!It's just that this word... sounds familiar!
Sir Alex Ferguson laughed, "Okay, Gu, I'm looking forward to that day coming as soon as possible."

At this time, Mendes, the game organizer, trotted over with a bright face, "Hi, everyone is here! I'm glad that everyone can come to this charity dinner! Gu, I think you have already communicated with all the big guys. Bar?"

Gu Ran smiled and said: "Yes, Mendes. I am really honored to meet all the industry leaders and football legends."

Mendes grinned and said: "I didn't expect that my face could be so big, and the invitations I sent out were all responded to by the big guys. So, everyone, please take a seat, the waiter will lead you, our charity dinner It's about to start, and when the banquet begins, there will be a popular little flower star singing to add to the fun - but please forgive me now, I have to borrow Gu for a while, and we'll see you later."

With that said, Mendes took Gu Ran's arm and walked to the other corner of the banquet hall.

The big guys also smiled at each other and took their seats under the guidance of the waiter - a very strange balance was maintained between the big guys. As long as Gu Ran did not show any tendency to transfer, this strange balance would Balance is always maintained.

Mendes said excitedly: "Gu, this charity dinner is really great!"

Gu Ran: ...

Mendes quickly added: "I'm not saying that I'm great, I'm saying, God, I didn't expect that all these old guys would come to the invitation I sent out! I thought only one would come at most. That’s great! Unexpectedly, not only Abramovich came in person, but also extremely noble old guys like Ferguson and Charlton came! This is not my credit, I know I did it because of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho Neo's relationship is somewhat thin in the football world, but today's charity dinner, these celebrities and big shots are obviously all here for you - you are simply my treasure! Your influence, It’s beyond my imagination! It’s really a great deal for Hotifoot to sign you!”

Gu Ran said angrily: "Mendez, you organize a charity dinner to help me promote my status. I don't object to this, but how can you organize some trolls outside? I feel ashamed myself."

Mendes was stunned, "What? What trolls? You mean the fans at the door? Oh no! Gu! I can swear on Chris's reputation that I have not found trolls for you! Okay, I admit that I have. I have found some journalists who can say good things to us, but I really haven’t found any trolls!”

Gu Ran was shocked, "What? You didn't look for it? So those fans who were fighting...well, they are indeed my fans."

Gu Ran suddenly felt like he couldn't laugh or cry, but he felt a lot relieved.

Mendes pulled Gu Ran away and said: "I will take you to meet the sponsors I invited. They are all our potential customers in the future. As your status improves, I plan to let you pick up a few... An international endorsement advertisement.”

Gu Ran frowned and said, "Mendez, you know that I hate advertising."

Abby Clancy, whom I met last time in an advertisement, is still harassed by her posting photos every day.

Mendes smiled and said: "Do you like making money?"

Gu Ran sighed, "I don't like it very much either."

Mendes smiled and said: "Then let's treat it as repayment of debts. If I don't give you more international endorsement ads, don't let you participate in more high-paying talk shows, and don't improve your celebrity monetization ability, you When will the £1 million advance be repaid?”

Damn, this is really heartbreaking.

Gu Ran could only say helplessly: "Okay, but I only sell my art and not my body."

Mendes laughed and said: "Gu, you are so funny. We are a serious agency and we don't do that kind of pimping. But...if you change your mind, I can help you find a female sponsor." of."

Gu Ran quickly said: "What I mean is that I can accept international endorsement ads, but the decision is mine. If I don't want to accept it, you can't force me."

Mendes thought for a while, "Of course, as long as you are willing to accept it, you have the final say who you accept."

Gu Ran frowned and hissed, "Why do I always feel like I'm selling myself..."

"Hahaha, did I just say that you have a sense of humor? Oh, I must say it again!"

As they talked, the two walked among a group of sponsors holding wine glasses.

After Mendes introduced Gu Ran to everyone, he was busy greeting other distinguished guests.

Advertisers surrounded Gu Ran and introduced themselves to Gu Ran one by one.

Among them, there are Qingyang companies, Hilton Hotels, Armani companies, Nike companies, KFCBES Bank, Castrol, Audi cars, Samsung mobile phones, Suzuki cars...

"Mr. Gu Ran, your image and temperament are really great, especially your hair quality. I wonder if you have ever used our Qingyang shampoo?"

"Mr. Gu Ran, I noticed that your suit is very ordinary and of a different brand. How can it fit your temperament? If you sign a contract with us, our Armani company is willing to provide you with suits for life!"

"Mr. Gu Ran, a future superstar like you must have a pair of sneakers specially tailored for your feet. If you sign a contract with us, we at Nike are willing to serve you!"

"Mr. Gu Ran, if you sign a contract with us, we can provide you with an Audi coupe."

"Mr. Gu Ran, if you sign a contract with us, we can provide lifetime lubricants for your Audi coupe."

"Mr. Gu Ran, Samsung mobile phones are currently the best-selling mobile phones. If you are willing to endorse Samsung for us, we can consider giving you one."

"Mr. Gu Ran, Suzuki Motor..."

Gu Ran just smiled politely in front of him. When he heard the Samsung mobile phone, Gu Ran couldn't hold it anymore. When he heard the Suzuki car, Gu Ran immediately turned cold and said, "Sorry, I don't I will endorse their products.”

Samsung's sponsor and Suzuki's sponsor immediately asked in unison: "Why?"

Gu Ran said coldly: "There is no reason, just think of it as prejudice."

——Fuck, now that I am a star, can I still pamper you?

The sponsor representatives of Samsung and Suzuki were dumbfounded. They didn't understand the situation at all, and they were slapped by Gu Ran. They didn't lose any face at all.

Gu Ran then said, "I'm sorry, everyone, I'm going out to take a breath, and you guys can chat first."

After saying that, Gu Ran turned around and walked away from the advertising sponsors.

Samsung's sponsor representative said angrily: "Isn't this Chinese guy too arrogant? We are the sponsors! He dares to talk to us like this! Everyone should not cooperate with him!"

The representative of Suzuki's sponsor also said indignantly: "That's right! This guy has just started playing in League One and is so crazy. How can he be so arrogant in the future? Don't cooperate with such an arrogant and arrogant guy! There will be a charity auction later. Don’t even take advantage of him!”

Other sponsors also nodded and verbally stated that they would not buy Gu Ran's charity auction items.

Gu Ran didn't care at all.

Advertising endorsements are entirely supported by fame.

As long as your reputation grows, advertisers will naturally become more respectful, and the cost of advertising endorsements will naturally become higher and higher.

We are just starting out in League One now, so there is really no need to worry about advertising endorsements.

As for repaying the debt, there is no rush, there are still three years left, right?

If you can't earn hundreds of millions of pounds worth of football in three years, then what qualifications will you have to compete with Messi and Ronaldo for the Golden Ball in the future?

After walking away from those advertising sponsors, Gu Ran was not in a hurry to return to the football big shots.

First, sister-in-law Victoria was enough to make Gu Ran's scalp numb, and now there were Linda and Sister NO.

Why go back so early?Join the Shura Field?

It's better to find a place where no one is around and take a breath.

——This is a vanity fair for celebrities, and although Gu Ran is already a slightly famous star, he is really not suitable for this kind of occasion.

In Gu Ran's heart, he really just wanted to play football in peace.

Just as Gu Ran walked out of the back door of the banquet hall and walked into a quiet corridor of guest rooms, he suddenly heard intense gasps of girls coming from a room at the end of the corridor.

What the fuck?

Who is this?
This sound is very nice!

Gu Ran immediately became energetic.
