Chapter 106 Officially signed a contract of tens of millions of euros! Against Bochum(1/4)
Chapter 106 Officially signed a multi-million euro contract! Against Bochum, fans lined the streets to welcome Lu Chenfeng!
Our eyes return to the British peninsula, Manchester.
In the past few days, Mendes was urgently preparing for negotiations with the endorsement company, while telling Lu Chenfeng to play well in the league, maintain his condition, and wait a few more days.
He would hang on to these endorsement companies for a few days, making them a little anxious, and finally make an offer when their psychological defenses were damaged.
As a mature player agent, he has used these tricks a long time ago.
For those endorsement merchants, perhaps Mendes is an out-and-out vampire.
But for the players under his own agency, this is an angel, who can protect the interests of his players to the greatest extent.
Let me ask, who wouldn’t want to fight for some benefits for themselves at the negotiation table to make their income higher?
September 11th.
The fifth round of the Premier League has arrived.
Manchester United faces Stoke City, known as the City in the Sky, in this game!
This is a weak team, but the average height of the team is over 1.85 meters, making them extremely tough in the air!
Few teams can take advantage of them in high-altitude balls, even wealthy teams.
But when this matter falls on Manchester United, the situation is very different.
Manchester United, with Fellaini, Ibrahimovic, Lu Chenfeng and the three heroes in the air, may have average aerial combat capabilities, but its aerial combat capabilities in threatening attacks are very powerful!
Coupled with Manchester United's strong overall passing and control capabilities and players' individual skills, Stoke City's defeat seems to have been a foregone conclusion!
After the game started, Manchester United steadily held the ball and continuously launched attacks on Stoke City's backcourt.
Not long after, Rooney made a cross pass from the wing, helping Ibrahimovic open the scoring for the team!
One to zero!
Manchester United took the lead.
It wasn't over yet. Before the end of the first half, Lu Chenfeng got stuck between two Stoke City defenders and scored another goal for Manchester United with a swift and powerful header!
Two to zero!
Even the City in the Sky can't resist Lu Chenfeng's air dominance attribute!
When the game time came to the 60th minute of the second half, Martial took advantage of a personal breakthrough on the wing and shot into the net with a full-moon scimitar, 3-0!
Manchester United almost sealed the victory!
Mourinho also started substitutions at this time. He first replaced Lu Chenfeng, who had been playing almost full time this season, with Mata.
Five minutes later, Rashford and Mkhitaryan were brought on, replacing Ibrahimovic and Rooney.
This is some rotation adjustments.
When the team has an intensive multi-line combat schedule, if this is not done, the injury rate within the team will greatly increase in the middle and late stages of the season.
Mourinho is an experienced coach and will definitely try to avoid this situation as much as possible.
In addition, Stoke City's overall style is tough. With victory already guaranteed, Mourinho does not want to injure important players on the field.
Especially Lu Chenfeng, once injured, Manchester United's offensive ability will decline greatly!
In the end, Stoke City got a goal back from a corner kick before the end of the game, rewriting the score to 3-1.
This is also the final score result.
Manchester United has maintained a winning streak on multiple fronts, and its points in the Premier League have reached fifteen points, sitting high on the top of the rankings!
Four days later.
The third round of the EFL Cup begins, and since Manchester United is a Premier League team, the draw happens to start from the third round.
They were drawn by a bad team from the English League Two, so bad that Mourinho didn't even want to remember their name.
In this game, Mourinho naturally played with the team's full substitute lineup, and ultimately achieved a 4-0 victory, steadily winning the game.
But as I said before, this tournament is definitely a stage for Mourinho to train, and he does not want to go too far.
His attention must still be elsewhere.
As for this competition, I always put in substitutes and play wherever I can.
After the game, Lu Chenfeng finally waited for a call from Mendes, telling him that the time was almost up.
He has made appointments with the UK general managers of Audi and Nike at seven o'clock and nine o'clock tomorrow evening respectively.
Lu Chenfeng was also a little excited when he heard the news. After all, it was his first endorsement contract in his life.
He searched for relevant information about these two companies on the Internet, made some preparations, and then waited quietly for the arrival of the next night.
The next day.
The dusk at the end of Charles Street in Manchester was very beautiful. While walking on the street with Mendes, Chenfeng couldn't help but record this wonderful moment with his mobile phone.
The team's training and competition tasks are too heavy on weekdays, and he may not have much time to take care of his own life.
But if you think about it occasionally, it’s good to enjoy the beautiful scenery and add a bit of life style.
Lu Chenfeng, who is still striving for his ultimate ideal, is looking forward to completing his final success and fame as soon as possible and living a leisurely and relaxed life.
But the way up is never that easy.
"What I'm going to see soon is the person in charge of Nike."
Mendes walked next to Lu Chenfeng and reminded: "After entering, we kept the same tone, saying that Adidas has already quoted a signing fee of 40 million euros for five years."
"Did they really quote this price? Or..."
Lu Chenfeng glanced at Mendes and said, "These big companies should generally know each other's bargaining chips."
"No, in many cases I don't know."
Mendes shook his head and explained to Lu Chenfeng: "At most, they only know whether we had any contact with Adidas during this period."
"Yesterday, I met with the person in charge of Adidas."
"Their final price was 32 million euros over five years, which was an increase of 7 million euros from before."
"If we add another eight million and give it to the person in charge at Nike, there will definitely be no problem."
After listening, Lu Chenfeng smiled slightly and nodded.
It seems that this list of net worth is still having some effect. After the surge, the endorsement fees are visibly increasing.
Soon, the two came to a well-decorated coffee shop and sat in a single room.
In the room, there was a middle-aged man with a strong British gentleman style who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
He was wearing a brown suit, a dark purple tie, and a pair of ordinary glasses, which quickly gave people a sophisticated look.
Even the Portuguese rich man Mendes was a little inferior in front of him.
"Hello, my name is Reeves. Nice to meet you two. I think I have had several phone calls with Mr. Mendez before."
Reeves stood up with a smile, stretched out his right hand, shook hands with Mendes and Lu Chenfeng, and waved his hand for them to sit down.
He called the waiter outside the room, ordered a cup of coffee for the two of them, and then gradually got to the point of the conversation.
"As everyone knows, Nike officials are very optimistic about Mr. Lu Chenfeng's future development potential and are aware of his commercial value, so they want to enter into an endorsement cooperation with Mr. Lu Chenfeng."
Reeves started the conversation and introduced the brand and its influence around the world to the two of them in a clear and logical manner.
He tried to use this to impress Lu Chenfeng and Mendes, so that they could pay less in the future.
While he was talking, his eyes kept flickering between the eyes of Mendes and Lu Chenfeng, fearing that they might be impatient or behave in other ways.
The existence of Lu Chenfeng is really special.
Nike headquarters has given him instructions. This player must win the battle with Adidas, and he can sacrifice some of his interests when necessary, that is, no matter the cost.
But Reeves knew very well that if he really paid too much, his ability as the person in charge of the British region would be doubted by those there.
Maybe I won't be able to do it for much longer.
Listening to Reeves' words, Mendes had a smile on his face.
He never likes to hear such nonsense. No matter how good the brand culture is, what does money have to do with it?
Besides, he is not a fool. If Nike was a bad brand, he would definitely not negotiate with Lu Chenfeng.
Since you are sitting here, let’s talk with money.
"Mr. Reeves, we have actually learned about this before."
Seeing that Reeves still wanted to say more, Mendes took an opportunity to interrupt him and waved his hand: "We just want to know, what is Nike's final offer?"
"Adidas has made it very clear to me. The signing fee of 40 million euros over five years is very straightforward."
"I value your proposed profit sharing more, so I'm sitting here."
After listening to Mendes' words, Reeves couldn't help but feel a little confused.
That competitor actually paid such a high price?
