During dinner at the Xiao family, Beckham, who was mentioned, was having dinner with Lippi and discussing his transfer.
In addition to Beckham, there is also his wife, Victoria, a famous female star in the fashion industry.
In December last year, Beckham was loaned to AC Milan from the Los Angeles Galaxy, and this year he renewed his contract for another year.
He plans to play football in Europe for one more year, get on the bus to the World Cup in South Africa, then retire from the national team, and then go to the United States to play football and develop.
For this reason, Beckham's annual income has been reduced by more than 10 million euros, which can be said to be a huge sacrifice.
But Beckham has always regarded honor as life, and money is not that important to him.
Although Victoria wholeheartedly wanted to develop in the United States, when she met such a stubborn husband, she had no choice but to let him go.
But the couple had already agreed that Beckham must go to the United States to play football for two or three years, and then through the fame he gained through playing football, he could retire and start a business in the fashion and entertainment circles in Europe, so Beckham agreed to her
.
Today, Lippi invited them to dinner. Beckham originally thought there was no need to go because he and Lippi were not familiar with each other, and Lippi's reputation in Italy was not very good, so he was afraid of getting involved in the whirlpool of trouble.
However, little Lippi was very sincere and had called him several times. Beckham and Victoria discussed it and decided to go to the banquet.
David Lippi indeed had other ideas.
After everyone chatted and laughed about Italian football for a while, he changed the subject to another aspect.
"David, do you know about Figo and Kahn going to China to play football?" Lippi said with a smile.
"Of course I know. They went to the team of Xiao Qi, the richest man in the world. I heard that they were very comfortable there." Beckham also laughed.
He and Figo are both Real Madrid teammates and both are handsome stars, so they often meet at fashion parties. Even though they no longer play together, they are still in touch.
"At their age, it's really not bad to go to China to hunt for gold for two years." Lippi said, "I wonder, David, how are you going to continue your career as a player after the World Cup?"
"Are you asking me to go to China to play football?" Beckham laughed dumbly. "The food in China is good, the environment is good, and the fans are enthusiastic, but it's not suitable for me."
He refused outright.
The level of football in China is too low, and he looks down upon it.
Even if Xiao Qi is rich and can give him a higher salary than in the Los Angeles Galaxy, Beckham is still unwilling to go.
"Why don't you refuse it first?" said Little Lippi. "Actually, the conditions Qishao offered you are not salary-related. Talking about those is too vulgar."
Victoria also smiled when she heard this, "Oh? What conditions did Mr. Xiao Qi offer?"
"Mrs. Beckham, have you heard that Marvel has changed its owner?" Little Lippi asked her.
"I know, there is a super rich man who bought Marvel and completely privatized it." Victoria spent most of her time in the United States, so she was naturally familiar with this news.
"As long as David goes to play football in China for three years, both David and Mrs. Beckham will have the opportunity to play major supporting roles in Marvel's hero movies." Little Lippi said, "Think about it.
"Iron Man", "Avengers", "Captain America", "Transformers"... How big a sensation will these familiar comics be when they are put on the big screen? Can they appear in them and play major supporting roles?
, it will be of huge benefit to both David and you, Mrs. Beckham, right?"
"real!?"
Victoria's eyes lit up.
The most widely spread and most influential thing in the United States is of course Hollywood!
Victoria has always wanted Beckham to enter Hollywood. In 2005, he played his own role in "One Goal to Fame", but he only appeared for a few seconds. This was determined by the movie's football atmosphere. Otherwise, he only appeared for a few seconds.
It's not easy for Beckham to star.
Now someone suddenly told her that she and her husband could play major supporting roles in superhero movies released around the world. This is not something ordinary people can get, even many second-tier and even first-tier stars in Hollywood.
Not easy to get.
If the couple appears in these big movies, even if their performance is average, it will broaden their careers and have huge benefits in increasing their fame!
In this world, don’t celebrities rely solely on fame to make a living?
Commercial performances, endorsements, advertisements, etc. all change as fame increases and decreases!
"Of course, the boss lady of Marvel is also a Qi Shao woman." Little Lippi said with a smile.
"Taylor Swift!?" Victoria blurted out.
Everyone knows that the company that bought Marvel is called the "Swift Family Fund", and many people are speculating whether this is the company of Taylor Swift, one of the legendary Xiao Qi's women, the little queen of American country music.
After all, in addition to the family fund, Xiao Qi also purchased private properties for his women, which has long been talked about in the financial circles.
None of the super-rich Americans who can buy Marvel for US$5 billion has the surname Swift. This only means that the little country music diva is more reliable.
It's just that little Taylor didn't speak at all before and would not accept interviews in this regard, so everyone was just guessing.
Victoria was naturally very interested in this kind of gossip, so she spoke out without thinking.
Little Lippi nodded, "In this case, Mrs. Beckham, you should be relieved, right? Didn't the other woman from Qi Shao also buy your British Odeon Cinemas and Victoria Cinemas? By that time
When the movie comes out, everyone in the UK will be able to see your performance!"
Victoria was even more excited now.
She had forgotten this just now. The two major theater chains in the UK, oh, and probably in Europe - Odeon Cinema and Victoria Cinema, were both acquired by the Kiwi Film and Television Group.
The proprietress Qiao Guoer is also one of the women recognized by everyone as Xiao Qi.
With the characters of Marvel and the support of the world's leading theater chain, the reputation of the couple has directly increased in the film and television industry!
Seeing his wife being so excited, Beckham secretly yelled, "Oh no!" What could be better than this to attract a wife who is full of fame and fortune?
"David, although you won't play football in a mainstream place like Europe in the next few years, Qishao is going to give you a five-year endorsement advertisement." Little Lippi said before he could speak: "
Fairy Company’s Dreamstars endorsement advertisement, the annual endorsement fee is 10 million euros, ensuring that your exposure is still sufficient!”
Beckham's mouth moved, but the words of rejection never came out.
His previous advertisements with Geely, Pepsi-Cola, and Adidas were also very expensive, but they did not reach 8 million per year. And as his influence declines, if he wants to renew his contract in the future, the price should continue to drop.
Now, suddenly there is an advertisement for the most outstanding Dreamstars mobile phone spokesperson in the world, and the offer is so high, naturally it immediately raises his market share.
Beckham is very stubborn when it comes to athletics, but of course he doesn't hate income outside of athletics.
After all, after retiring, he still has to support his wife and children. A large family needs him to make money to support them. Naturally, the more money, the better.
"As for saying that you still want to play for the country, that's even simpler." Lippi said, "I guarantee you that your name will definitely be on the list of the British team for the 2010 World Cup. That's it.
, are you relieved?"
"Really?" Beckham looked at him in surprise, "How can you guarantee that?"
"Don't worry, we have our own way of course." Little Lippi said, "If you don't believe me, you should believe Qi Shao. The richest man in the world will never lie to you in this regard. Qi Shao's reputation,
But it’s very valuable!”
Beckham thought of the world's richest man and his good reputation, and immediately felt relaxed.
His only wish now is to assist the England team in 2010 and achieve good results. As for the club's honors and future, he no longer has any pursuits.
After all, for a superstar who once played for Manchester United and Real Madrid, when he goes to other clubs, he will be similar at best and will not surpass him.
If Xiao Qi can guarantee that he will go to South Africa, and with such good conditions, Beckham will naturally have no reason to refuse.
"Can I ask, besides me, who else have you contacted?" he asked after hesitation.
Little Lippi named a few names, and then said: "Also, the head coach should be my father, so you can rest assured!"
Beckham smiled when he heard this.
If the championship coach Lippi goes to play for the Sichuan Fairies, there will be no problem!
When the time comes, my teammates will all be superstars and my coach will be a world-famous coach, so it won’t be an insult to myself.
"As for salary, the price we can offer is 10 million euros, the same as Figo and Kahn." Lippi said, "But in addition to advertising endorsements, we will also add some extra money to your couple's film salary.
.Add everything together, your income in three years will not be less than 80 million euros."
"No problem!" Beckham discussed it with his wife, smiled and nodded, "You can discuss the specific matters with my agent team."
"Okay, I wish us a happy cooperation!" Little Lippi raised his cup.
“A pleasure to work with!”
Beckham is a little better, Victoria's smile turned into a flower! (To be continued.)
