Reborn on Top of Football - Vol 8 Chapter 128
The two brothers chatted until the middle of the night before going into the room to rest under the urging of the women. The next morning, they hurried to the airport to board the plane to Nuremberg. After a busy work, they finally held a press conference at 1:00 p.m. to announce the renewal of the contract. success.
Under the spotlight, Wang Ai and the general manager of Adidas exchanged agreements after signing the contract, and generously showed the reporter group: the annual endorsement fee is 80 million euros.
This is the highest annual endorsement fee for a football star so far, and the second highest is Wang Ai’s 64 million euros five years ago. The third highest is Messi, who gave up Adidas and switched to Reebok. The endorsement fee is 4,200 pounds, or about 50 million euros. The fourth is Ronaldo, who endorsed Nike, with 33 million pounds, which is less than 40 million euros. Neymar, who is known as “the strongest outside the three super giants”, is the fifth, and the annual income of endorsement for Puma is 22 million pounds.
This is not an easy decision for Adidas, who has always been “spreading the net”. When the signing ceremony was completed and a number of reporters’ questions were answered according to the procedure, when he attended the evening reception, Adidas general manager Herbert expressed his unsatisfactory feelings to Wang Aidao. : “You are too expensive. I have spent a lot of effort in convincing the board of directors, and I may have to face shareholders’ questioning next time.”
Looking at Herbert who was shaking his head again and again, Wang Ai said calmly: “Less than four months after we signed the contract five years ago, I led the Chinese team to win the World Cup. A group of superstars, less than two years after the signing, we started to fight the super giant war, and now we have played three times, and in the fourth year of signing, I came to Real Madrid, the best club in the world, so, have you lost money?”
Herbert thought for a while, smiled and shook his head: “Although you are very expensive, you can always surprise us and give us returns that exceed our expectations. This is one of the reasons why I was able to convince the board of directors this time.”
Wang Ai nodded and stretched out his hand: “Believe me, Herbert, my friend has a very reasonable saying. Even if I decline after the age of 30, decline rapidly, and decline by 60%, I am still average Super shooter with more than 1 goal.”
Herbert laughed and held Wang Ai’s hand.
However, Lao Bai, who was quoted by Wang Ai to speak, and Lao Bai who watched the whole process did not say a word, because he was completely dumbfounded, and his mind was buzzing from morning to evening.
Because Wang Ai’s real endorsement fee this time is not 80 million but 100 million!
“What’s going on?”
After the reception, Wang Ai and his team went south to Munich to fly back to Madrid the next day. After arriving at the hotel, Lao Bai finally couldn’t bear it anymore and grabbed Wang Aifei to make him explain.
“Didn’t he say that he wants to convince the board of directors and deal with shareholders?” Wang Ai said with a smile.
Lao Bai looked at Wang Ai suspiciously, shook his head and said, “I always think it’s not that simple.”
“Here.” Wang Ai took out the original contract from his satchel: “Look for yourself.”
Lao Bai rubbed his hands: “This, German, I say it’s okay, just look at it…”
Angrily, Wang Ai put the contract back and handed it to Shi Wenjun: “To put it simply, my asking price is 200 million, and he will give 80 million at most. In the end, he counts 20 million as a bonus, which is considered as a floating amount, not included in the fixed endorsement. Ferry, I am satisfied with this, and he can deal with the board of directors, understand?”
“Oh, it’s floating?” Lao Bai was stunned.
Wang Ai pouted: “The condition is that I have no less than 40 official games every year!”
Lao Bai was stunned for a moment: “This, this is for nothing, right? What kind of floating is this?”
“It should have been given to me. If it wasn’t for taking care of him as a partner for many years, do you think I would agree to such a condition?” Wang Ai Niupi coaxed.
“Okay, stop bragging.” Shi Wenjun dismantled Wang Ai and explained to Lao Bai: “We also want to keep a low profile. After all, the difference between 99 and 100 is not 1%. Billion endorsement fee, otherwise it will cause us trouble. So he should take care of the heart health of the board of directors, which is exactly what we mean.”
Lao Bai took a long breath: “So that’s the case, then why are you twice as tall as Messi?”
Wang Ai spread his hands; “Are you stupid? I didn’t explain it to you? I have a fixed market of 1.4 billion people, and it is still a very fast-growing market. In addition, the whole of Asia is watching me. Messi How can I have such a condition? Besides, I am the captain of the two-time World Cup champion, and he doesn’t even have an America’s Cup.”
Lao Bai: “Yes, yes, my brain is short-circuited. In addition, there is another reason why you can exceed the task every time, right? After you signed the contract last time, you have fought three super giant wars in the past five years, and won two World Cup champion…then how do you envision the next five years with him?”
Speaking of this, Lao Bai was a little worried: “The next World Cup champion, it’s hard to say, isn’t it? You guys are a little bit unmoved by the super giant war?”
Wang Ai shook his head: “I didn’t include the future in the contract, even if I forget it, they won’t believe it. At most, I promise them that I won’t create a scandal. I will guarantee the appearance rate and get their bonuses. How about the future, okay? As long as they make money, they generally accept it, and this contract simulates the general future.”
Lao Bai sighed and turned to leave Wang Ai’s room. When he reached the door, he turned around and said, “Okay, you can rest. I’ll go back to rest. This day scared me. Besides, I won’t tell others.”
Wang Ai smiled and closed the door, and looked at the bodyguards in the house: “Let’s go back to Madrid for a big meal tomorrow!”
After finishing talking, Wenjun put his arms around Shi Wenjun’s shoulders and went into the back room, put away the satchel containing the contract, and sat together on the chairs in front of the huge French window, speechless for a while.
“Actually, your endorsement fee is three times that of Messi.” Shi Wenjun said quietly.
“Well, they are all pre-tax, and I am after tax.” Wang Ai hehe said: “That’s okay, although the income may be a little lower, but it is safe, right? You see, Messi is still suffering from tax evasion. Woolen cloth.”
Shi Wenjun shook his head and stood up, and came to Wang Ai: “Let me take a good look at the man of 1 billion!”
Wang Ai leaned on his chin and smiled strangely: “Just look at it? Don’t you want to taste it?”
Shi Wenjun bit his lower lip, suddenly stepped and sat on Wang Ai’s lap, hugged Wang Ai’s head tightly, and pushed Wang Ai away in disgust after a while: “It’s all your fault.”
Wang Ai raised his eyes to look at the deep eyes of the little beauty in the dark: “When life is proud, it is the most beautiful to be accompanied by a beautiful woman.”
The little beauty hammered Wang Ai angrily, and then gently stretched out her hand. The two moved closer together warmly, and even their heartbeats calmed down…then it gradually became intense!
“It’s all your fault!”
On the plane the next day, Shi Wenjun secretly rubbed his knees while no one was paying attention, and when Wang Ai smiled and said: “You were…” before finishing speaking, the little beauty raised her eyebrows: “It’s all your fault!”
Wang Ai immediately compromised: “Yes, it’s all my fault, the floor… Well, it’s all my fault!”
The little beauty snorted and made it again, and then secretly gave Wang Ai an elbow.
