Listening to the children's stories, Luo Wu was moved again.
I didn't expect my mother to be so crazy.
Just to watch her, I watch her play football in front of the big screen every week.
What was right or wrong in the past is not important, what is important is that we are reunited now.
Luo Wu had to stop to sign autographs and take photos with these cute little guys.
Don't know why,
He always felt that he felt a sense of intimacy here.
Maybe it's because of my mother?
"Lo,"
"Want to play football with us?"
"Hey, maybe I can guard you! I'm serious!"
"I will join the Nottingham Forest youth training team, and I will definitely meet you on the field later!"
A little guy with not all his teeth yet and a face full of freckles stood in front of Luo Wu and confidently invited Luo Wu to play football on the court.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm afraid I'll make you cry, and then you'll cry and say I bullied you."
Luo Wu is really excited.
"I'll go back to the car to get my equipment!"
He is just an eighteen-year-old young man, and his feet get itchy when he talks about playing football.
Luo Wu is serious!
Everyone cheered, and soon the news spread like wildfire, even reaching Nottingham Trent University!
"Hi, I heard that Luo Wu is coming to Nottingham!"
"Getting ready to play a game with the local kids!"
"Just..."
"I'm going to get his autograph."
"What's he doing here?"
Many Chinese students were very excited and drove to the stadium one after another.
Luo Wu's mother also brought her parents to the stadium stands.
For a time, the stands of this natural football stadium were filled with local residents and Chinese students.
Vlada immediately became a reporter for "The Times" and broadcast this different game live on his mobile phone. Fans can watch the live broadcast on the official website of "The Times" through their mobile phones.
"Wardfalk?"
"Is it really Lo? He's in Nottingham, competing in an amateur tournament?"
"He's not afraid of getting hurt?"
"Hey, please, this is just a college student beating a primary school student. Luo is so naughty. I think Emery will be very anxious. There is a Watford game on the weekend!"
Although it was just an amateur football match, it still attracted many fans to click on the live broadcast to watch.
And Luo Wu lived up to expectations and stood out from the crowd in the competition.
When his teammate got the ball, he gave it to Luo Wu, and then watched Luo Wu's performance. Luo Wu was like a thousand flowers passing by, not a leaf touching his clothes, and he easily scored one goal after another.
, the applause from the stands almost never stopped.
The people here have seen what real terror is.
The team with Luo Wu defeated their opponents with a crushing attitude. After the first half of the game, the score was actually a terrifying 11:0. Luo Wu scored 10 goals by himself, and Luo Wu created the other one.
The penalty kick was then given to a teammate to take the penalty.
Fans online also started talking about it.
"fear!"
"It's really scary!"
"This is the gap between top professional players and amateur players. There is no way to stop them."
"I believe that even if Salah is put on the team, Salah will not be able to score 10 goals in half time. Ronaldo is the ceiling of professional players."
"Perhaps, only Messi can compete with him. Messi can definitely do it. I really can't find anyone else."
…
It's incredible that an amateur match can dominate the headlines on the Times website.
During the halftime break, the opponent was unwilling and came over to discuss with Luo Wu and the others, asking Luo Wu to help them kick the ball! Otherwise it would be unfair.
Luo Wu agreed, and then became teammates with his opponent!
As you can imagine, the situation was reversed. Luo Wu still used his powerful performance to help his new teammates destroy the city and score goals. The opponent tried to set up a bus to stop Luo Wu, but almost all of them huddled near the penalty area. But
This still couldn't prevent Luo Wu from scoring goals. Luo Wu directly scored 5 goals by setting the ball in the frontcourt.
Another 7 goals were scored in the sports battle, and the final score was 12:11! Later, the side with Luo Wu became the winner.
Luo Wu scored a total of 22 goals in one game!
It's so terrifying that there are no words to describe it.
"22!"
"It's normal,"
"After all, it's the adults who kick the kids."
"A very normal performance."
"If we can score so many goals against Watford on the weekend, that would be God!"
By the end, the fans were no longer surprised and thought it was Luo Wu's normal operation.
After the game, Luo Wu had lunch with his mother's family in a local restaurant before rushing back to London in the afternoon.
Only then did he realize that he had actually become the headline of The Times.
"The Sun" also put his news on the headlines, but it dug out Luo Wu's life experience and bluntly stated that the marriage of Luo Wu's father and mother was nothing more than 5,000 pounds...
Luo Wu naturally saw this report, but he was not angry. The past is the past after all, and the present is actually very beautiful. Without his parents, he would not exist. No matter what mistakes or methods he made back then, the present is beautiful after all.
.So what he has to do now is to keep the good things.
He enjoyed his day at Nottingham Forest. It was really the happiest day he had ever had, even happier than the day he signed for Arsenal.
So he called his agent, Mendes.
"Hulho,"
"I want to buy a helicopter."
"This is very convenient."
"You can help me find a plane that can accommodate at least six guests."
Mendes is not surprised at all. It is normal for professional players to have their own private jets, and helicopters are common as means of transportation. And they are not valuable. You can own one for hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Aircraft are not expensive, but maintenance is even more expensive.
Of course, this is really not much money. It is equivalent to Luo Wu's monthly salary. What kind of money is it?
"Well, no problem, I'll have someone match it for you tomorrow morning! There is a helipad behind your house, which will come in handy."
Mendes does things quickly and easily, even buying a helicopter is easy.
"Try to have a high-configuration aircraft. Safety is the most important thing. Whichever aircraft is safer will be bought." Luo Wu specifically explained.
Safety is of course the most important thing. After all, if something goes wrong with the helicopter, your life will basically be lost.
"Understood, don't worry, we have taken all this into consideration."
Mendes nodded, and then said:
"Also, have you ever considered buying an airplane? After all, you have to return to your country often to compete. Flying to Asia is a long and tiring journey, and it takes more time than going to South America. Having your own long-distance airplane would be quite convenient."
These words really reminded Luo Wu, "Long-distance flight? It's great."
"Yes, I also need a long-distance plane, please find one for me too!"
"Safety performance is still the most important, and battery life must be sufficient."
Long-distance flights are expensive, at least tens of millions of dollars.
There are not many professional players who own private long-distance planes. For ordinary players, they simply cannot afford it. Their annual salary must be at least 5 million pounds to be willing to spend money on long-distance planes!
Sanchez, who now plays for Manchester United, has his own private jet. He owns a Gulfstream G300 with a market value of US$9.45 million.
Alexis Sanchez is the highest-paid player in the Premier League after moving to Manchester United. The Chilean's jet can fly 4,140 miles, has a top speed of 548km/h and can accommodate 13-16 passengers.
French forward Karim Benzema owns a cessnacitationcj4 private jet with a maximum range of 3,555 kilometers and a top speed of 835 kilometers per hour. It can carry 10 passengers.
Real Madrid star Gareth Bale owns a luxurious private jet CitationXLS. The plane can fly 3,441 kilometers and has a top speed of 802 kilometers per hour. It can accommodate 9 passengers.
Wayne Rooney, who just left Everton, owns a Dassault Falcon 900LX, manufactured by Dassault Aviation. It can fly up to 4,750 kilometers and has a maximum speed of 649 kilometers per hour.
Neymar holds the record as the world's most expensive footballer of all time. Paris Saint-Germain signed for psg for £200 million in 2017! So it's safe to say he can afford his own private jet. Neymar has
EmbraerLegacy 450, the same brand of jet as Leo Messi: with a market value of $25.9 million, it can fly within a range of 4,260 kilometers and has a top speed of 1,017 kilometers per hour.
Retired star David Beckham owns a bombardier challenger 350: market value $26.6 million.
Paul Pogba owns a Gulfstream G280 and the market price is $24.5 million, so it looks like Manchester United paid him well. The jet is twin-engine and was built by IAI in Israel for Gulfstream Aerospace. The jet
The aircraft can fly within a range of 6,667 kilometers and can reach a top speed of 900 kilometers per hour.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic signed a massive contract with the LA Galaxy in January 2018. The Swede then bought a cessnacitation longitude with a market value of $27 million. It can fly 6,482 kilometers.
These guys are also the best players in football in recent years.
Of course, the peerless twins must also be on the list, and they must be ranked in the top two.
Ranked second is Messi.
Messi owns the famous private jet Embraer Legacy 650. The jet was produced in 2002 by Embraer ERJ145 series and is one of the most expensive and respected jets in the world. The jet can fly (6,060 kilometers
), with a top speed of 834 kilometers per hour. The market value is US$25.9 million.
The most expensive one is of course Ronaldo’s private jet.
Referred to by some as the best football player in the world, Ronaldo also owns one of the world's most expensive private jets, the Gulfstream G650, with a market value of $65 million. The aircraft can fly within a range of 12,960 kilometers and has a top speed of 982 kilometers per hour.
Hour.
Obviously, Ronaldo's plane is the most expensive, at least twice as expensive as others.
So, how much does Luo Wu’s private jet cost?
If Luo Wu flies directly from London, England to the Chinese capital, the flight range will be at least 8,109 kilometers. This means that Luo Wu must have an aircraft that can fly such a long distance.
To sum up, only Cristiano Ronaldo's Gulfstream G650 is suitable, otherwise it would have to be refueled two or three times on the way, which is obviously very troublesome.
So Mendez must consider this when considering the aircraft Luo Wu purchased.
But, it's expensive.
If you buy Ronaldo's plane, it will cost US$65 million.
Does Luo Wu have the money now?
Not yet...
So, after Mendes calculated for a while, he asked: "Is there a requirement for the number of people?"
"At least 10 people or more!"
"We can't fit the entire national team into it? That's a bit unrealistic..." Luo Wu raised his eyebrows. He wanted to do this, but this would require a passenger plane. That was too exaggerated. It would be better to be more pragmatic.
.
"Okay, it seems that there are only two suitable aircraft. One is Ronaldo's current model, and the other is Canada's Global 6000. The prices of both aircraft are similar, about 65 million US dollars."
"What? How much?" Luo Wu's phone almost fell to the ground and he was shocked.
"It seems...it seems...I don't have that much money?"
Well, he earns more than 20 million pounds a year, but he suddenly becomes a poor man when it comes to private jets and cannot afford them.
"Can't afford it."
"Haha!" Mendes on the other end laughed.
"If you can afford it, you can definitely afford it."
"You only need to accept 20 ads, and you won't have enough money to buy a plane." One ad costs about 3 million pounds. Indeed, 20 ads are enough. Mendes calculated it casually.
"Ah, 20." Luo Wu thought for a moment, and his thoughts became clear.
Mendes continued: "I already have more than thirty product endorsement contracts on hand. I have already filmed a dozen before. If you film the remaining ten, well, that's enough."
"Okay... Then if you have time, arrange for them to come to London. I will take time to shoot commercials..." Luo Wu said with a smile, "Oh my god, I didn't expect that I would have to work so hard to buy a plane? If this spreads,
I will definitely be laughed at!"
"Actually... maybe you can ask your good friend in India and ask him to give you a car or sponsor a part of it." Mendes actually had an idea.
Good friend from India? Isn’t he talking about Indian real estate tycoon Abhishek?
"Haha, this is so embarrassing. He already gave me a mansion, how can I have the nerve to ask him to send me a plane?" Luo Wu is not so thick-skinned. In fact, his relationship with Abhishek is not as good as everyone imagined.
Iron, it’s just Abhishek who spends money like water.
but……
It doesn’t seem like there’s any big problem if you open your mouth?
Luo Wu really had some ideas.
"Besides, it's only the end of September, and there are still several months until January next year."
At this moment, Luo Wu really looked like those guys who want to buy a house but can't pay the full payment...
But after hanging up the phone, Mendes got back to work.
He directly called Bombardier in Canada to inquire about the price of global6000.
When the other party heard that it was Mendes, he immediately became more enthusiastic.
"Herho Mendez?"
"Ha, what an honor."
"Your players want to buy global6000?"
"Yes, the most difficult and hot player in football today."
"Messi? or Ronaldo?" The names of these two guys immediately popped into the opponent's mind.
"No, no, no,"
"More attractive than them. Luo-wu!" Mendes immediately denied it.
"Luo Wu?!"
"Oh, God." The other person was obviously surprised.
"Helho, I have a new suggestion."
"How about letting Luo Wu represent our private jet?"
"In this way, we will give him a personal car directly! We have signed a ten-year contract!"
"Good! very good!"
"wonderful!"
"But..." Mendes is quite professional. He first praised the other party repeatedly, and then made a twist.
"Ten years is no problem, but if the endorsement fee is only more than 60 million? I think it is too little." How could the world's top and most powerful football agent be so obsessed with money?
You know, two years ago he was negotiating with Nike for a lifetime contract with Ronaldo, which was a deal worth over 100 million!
"Helho, 60 million is a lot, isn't it?" The other party obviously didn't expect that Mendes would be dissatisfied.
Mendes was very calm, "I want to share something with you."
"Two years ago, I helped Cristiano sign a 10-year contract from 2016 to 2026. You know, in 2026, Cristiano will be 41 years old, which is equivalent to a lifetime contract."
It turns out that Mendes used Ronaldo as an example.
"During the contract period, Cristiano will receive 16.2 million euros in sponsorship fees every year, which will reach 162 million euros in 10 years. In addition, if Cristiano wins special awards such as the Ballon d'Or, he will receive additional
4 million euros in prize money.”
"Luowu is only 18 years old this year. He is the most promising player now. Even Mbappe cannot compare with him."
"Do you think that more than 60 million yuan in endorsement fees for ten years is consistent with his status? Obviously not."
"His football skills are number one, and his endorsement fee must also be number one. These are mutually reinforcing." What does this mean? Since Ronaldo can get 162 million euros for endorsement of Nike, how can Luo Wu be worse?
"Hullhao, Nike and our aircraft manufacturing company are obviously different. Nike is for the public, and private jets are for the rich. Our positioning is completely different. We don't need ordinary people." The person on the phone is not an idiot.
, the thinking is also very clear.
"so?"
"Do you think the rich are short of that much money? And you are reluctant to pay??" Mendes chuckled, and the words were full of ridicule.
Saying that your products are aimed at the rich, but being reluctant to pay for them, is really a slap in the face.
"The income of football players will only get higher and higher, and more and more people will want to buy private jets. This endorsement is very worthwhile. The next ten or even twenty years will be Luo Wu's world, and he is the weathervane of football.
Think again about how many billionaires there are in China?”
"Let me tell you, the number of rich people in China with a net worth of more than one billion US dollars is 799, 173 more than the United States. Although the United States accounts for most of the top ten, it is still defeated by China in terms of quantity!"
"This is still the current data. In the next ten or twenty years? Think about it carefully..."
Mendes is awesome, he can talk about data casually.
"Ah this..." The other person was dumbfounded.
I have to say that what Mendes said is true.
From this point of view, it is absolutely right to ask Luo Wu to endorse the private jet! The price must satisfy Mendes.
Although Mendes didn't say it clearly, his meaning was very obvious. He must be as tall as Ronaldo.
The other party was not a vegetarian and immediately made a new condition.
"Let's do this. We will sponsor the latest global 7000, which is worth US$7,280. In addition, we will sign a contract worth US$200 million for the next fifteen years. What do you think?"
Big shot.
Opening your mouth is such a big contract.
There is no sloppiness at all.
This confirms that Luo Wu can bring them huge benefits.
And it's not global6000, but global7000.
Including the aircraft, Luo Wu can get about 20 million US dollars from Bombardier every year, which is much better than Ronaldo's contract.
“Pretty awesome!”
“This fits your company’s speed perfectly!”
"We're going to have a great endorsement ad."
“I wish our cooperation a success!”
Mendes is also very happy...
Inadvertently, he signed a super contract for Luo Wu!
