Chapter 766: Chapter 766 What Does It Mean to Be Rich and Ostentatious_1

David Dain was stunned. For a moment, he couldn’t figure out who the "Little Ronaldo" was.

But, he quickly understood who Wang Ye was talking about based on his knowledge of world football. His face brightened as he said, "Boss, are you talking about the young Portuguese player, Cristiano Ronaldo?"

Wang Ye nodded.

A strange expression appeared on David Dain’s face as he mused,

"But... Cristiano isn’t at Manchester United. He currently plays for a club in Portugal.

Although there have been many rumors that he will be transferred to Manchester United this year, nothing has been finalized yet.

Besides, although this young player has shown significant potential, his worth can in no way reach fifty million euros.

In my estimation, twenty million euros, or at most thirty million, should suffice."

This time it was Wang Ye’s turn to be taken aback.

He couldn’t remember exactly when Cristiano Ronaldo was bought by Manchester United. He had thought that Cristiano Ronaldo had already been acquired by them.

The reason he was willing to spend one hundred million euros to bring both Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo back to Arsenal was due to the fear that Ferguson might not release them, especially since Ferguson had been grooming Cristiano Ronaldo as the next Beckham...

If Cristiano Ronaldo hasn’t transferred to Manchester United yet, then things just got a lot easier!

He refuses to believe that whatever Portuguese club Cristiano Ronaldo currently plays for won’t be enticed by money.

If Manchester United offers twenty million euros, then Arsenal will offer thirty million euros!

That Portuguese club doesn’t really have any "non-transferable" player. If they are unwilling to sell, the only reason would be that the price offered isn’t high enough.

The psychological barrier hasn’t been shattered yet!

Since Cristiano Ronaldo hasn’t gone to Manchester United yet, it means that Wang Ye can save some money.

After all, the cost of obtaining a player from Manchester United would be significantly higher than from Portugal!

......

Once the situation was clear, Wang Ye did not hesitate, and bluntly instructed,

"The league is about to end, and the transfer window will open soon. You can start to act now, reach out to Juventus, Milan, and Paris.

As long as the total budget for the three players stays within two hundred million euros, you can make the decision on the spot without reporting to me.

If any of the players are too difficult to get, let me know and I will sort things out.

Together, you should be able to get Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo for eighty million euros, right?"

David Dain was at a loss for words. He did not expect Wang Ye to delegate such authority to him!

A transfer budget of two hundred and eighty million euros, and as long as it stays within the budget, he can make the decision on the spot.

This amount of money is even higher than the total value of Arsenal at the moment!

It’s evident that his new boss truly commands wealth on an unimaginable scale, treating almost three hundred million euros as casually as if buying a cup of coffee on the street...

During his long years in the football world, David Dain has seen many rich club owners.

Like the Moratti family, who owns Inter Milan, and Florentino who commands Real Madrid, they are all generous players!

However, compared to the young man in front of him, they seem a bit lacking.

As the saying goes, "The new wave replaces the old," and the new wave has already arrived...

......

Coming to his senses, David Dain quickly nodded and assured, "Boss, rest assured! Leave this matter to me. I will do my best to reduce the transfer fee and not waste a cent of the club’s money!"

Ordinarily, this type of response would be considered rational, and one that would satisfy any team owner.

However, shockingly, Wang Ye shook his head and chuckled,

"There is no need to save money for me. This money is allocated for buying these players, so don’t stress over the price of the transfer fee as long as it doesn’t exceed the budget significantly. Be generous!

We are after all prying star players from their clubs, so providing them with a hefty compensation is only reasonable.

Moreover, in the transfer market this year, I want our club not only to acquire the most expensive player, but also the top three most expensive ones!

Beginning this year, Arsenal’s aim is not just to be a strong team or an ordinary luxury club.

We aim to be the greatest among them!

In every aspect, we strive to be the strongest!"

Through these few sentences, Wang Ye exuded a tremendous amount of ambition!

It’s not that he didn’t consider money important or enjoyed being a spendthrift.

Doing things this way has a deeper purpose.

Why has Real Madrid become the ultimate, or even the only luxury club in the hearts of professional football players worldwide, and most of the football fans?

In the end, it all comes down to the ’superstar strategy’ implemented by Florentino since his inauguration.

They only buy the biggest stars!

Every acquisition involves a hefty transfer fee!

With a team full of bright stars, they’re known as the ’Galacticos’...

It was only then that Real Madrid earned its image of being a true luxury club!

But now that Wang Ye has entered the football scene, sorry, but the superstar strategy is effective, and Wang Ye is not shy about adopting it.

Moreover, he is wealthier than Florentino, more willing to spend, and most importantly, Wang Ye also knows how to spend this money effectively so that it doesn’t go waste...

Therefore, the future titles of ’The Only Luxury Club’ and ’The Galacticos’ are probably going to belong to Arsenal!

......

David Dain finally understood Wang Ye’s intentions, but was still dumbfounded.

His vision was too small!

He was only thinking about saving some money for the boss, but he didn’t realize that the boss didn’t care about the money saved. Rather, he would prefer to pay a higher price to make a splash in the market!

It’s easy to imagine, once Arsenal’s reputation for being extravagantly wealthy has been established, and the team is filled with superstar players, along with their commendable performance, Arsenal will become as attractive as Real Madrid is today to all football players!

At the same time, the scale of the club’s fan base will expand, increasing their global influence as well.

This would be an intangible asset for the club!

An asset that can be liquidated because it can bring more commercial sponsorships, and at higher prices, to the club.

Speaking of commercial sponsorships, Wang Ye remembered something.

He asked David Dain, "When can we start utilizing our new stadium?"

"Very soon, the renovation should be completed by the end of this year, and it can be put into use in early next year." David Dain replied without hesitation.

With the financial problem resolved, the construction of the new stadium had been accelerated. After all, it’s been several years in the making and was nearing completion.

Wang Ye nodded, then asked, "Have we decided on a name yet?"

David Dain was taken aback by the question.

He quickly thought and proposed, "Not yet, I think we can name it after you, boss! After all, Arsenal has become your private property. What do you think about the name ’Mikhail Stadium’?"
