Chapter 252: The Heart of a Man (2)

 I don’t know when I returned to the room. When I woke up, Wang Ai was in a daze when he remembered his embarrassing incident last night. He turned over from the bed and found that it had just dawned outside, which was a good time for morning exercises.

Less than 200 meters away from the villa is the Atlantic coast. Wang Ai ran along the beach. The eastern sun was fiery red, illuminating the sea in confusion. The dark blue water rose and fell, sweeping away the fatigue on Wang Ai's body. His footsteps became more and more brisk.

, his expression became more and more natural, and tourists or locals could already be seen on the public beach not far ahead, but the owner of the Brazilian Beach Hotel, who also liked nightlife, had no interest in opening it.

"I didn't say anything outrageous last night, did I?"

After running back and forth twice on this one-kilometer-long beach, Leonie, who had changed into sportswear, appeared next to Wang Ai. Wang Ai slowed down and chatted with her: "I feel like I was drunk last night.

, Momo Huhu still remembers some of the thoughts he had at that time, and they were obviously thoughts that can only occur after drinking too much, so am I talking nonsense?"

"No." Leonie smiled sweetly and tightened her collar against the sea breeze: "You just sat there in a daze, not knowing what to think. You didn't express those ridiculous thoughts, so you are still perfect. By the way.

, what ridiculous ideas do you have?"

Wang Ai chuckled: "I looked at this sea and thought, we missed the first great voyage. It is a profound lesson to give up so much land with unlimited hope, so we must vigorously develop the aviation industry and strive to be the leader of mankind.

I ate the fattest piece on my second voyage.”

Leonie's big eyes suddenly flashed: "Huh?"

"So the aerospace department must be senior sailing game fans!" Wang Ai looked at Leonie and smiled: "They must play sailing games every day after get off work to deepen their sense of professional mission."

Leonie understood the absurd logic in Wang Ai's words and couldn't help laughing: "You really dare to graft."

"Yeah, it's like a dream. It feels like the two things are almost put together. In fact, the rationality and intermediate links are completely ignored. But let's not say it, maybe literature and art need this kind of thing, otherwise all artists are alcoholics.

This is inspiration, inspiration without science.”

"Actually, it doesn't seem to be completely unreasonable." Leonie walked around a depression in the road: "You said China's Shenzhou, why is it called a spaceship instead of a flying car? Flying house? Translate the 'space craft' into

'Spaceship', doesn't it reflect a certain emotion of regret?"

The two chatted and laughed, and ran for more than half an hour until they were covered in sweat. They returned to the villa until they were completely refreshed. At this time, the teammates had also gotten up and were having breakfast.

Old Tang met Wang Ai and said, "Eat quickly, we will go to the airport after eating. The flight will be at ten o'clock in the morning. We will arrive at BJ at 11 o'clock tomorrow noon. It will take 14 hours to fly. We have to make adjustments as soon as possible."

Wang Ai didn't say much, and just sat aside to eat. Zhou Haibin also came over and asked about the speech. This time it was Zhou Haibin's turn to give a speech on behalf of the national team members at the airport when he returned home, but he also declined.

However, when Wang Aiqian gave way and Chen Tao retreated, Zhao Xuri could only come with him. Zhao Xuri had been trained in the past two years and took the initiative to give up his position.

As for what happens after Zhou Haibin, I don't know. Given his age, he can probably last until the main players of this national team basically retire.

This time Air China sent the Victory Flight team over again. This time the national team got back 17.5 million US dollars and turned it over to the treasury, as well as huge intangible assets that cannot be counted, so a big plane came to pack up the delegation and transport them away, and also took them with them.

Having family members becomes a treatment that other industries envy but must also accept.

On the plane, Vidi publicly announced the bonus distribution method, and also announced the advertising endorsement and appearance fee distribution method that the national team will implement next. It is roughly the same as the bonus. The country will take half first, and the remaining half will be based on contributions.

.

Of course, Wang Ai is at a disadvantage here. For example, if he attends an opening ceremony, he can get 5 million, but with the national team, although the sponsor has increased the money to 10 million, Wang Ai can only get about 800,000.

Many years ago, Wang Ai's domestic agent Shi Wenjun had a fight with Ford Power Company over this. At that time, all rules were primitive, there were no football stars with international commercial value in China, and administrative matters were far higher than commercial ones.

Color, so Fordbao Company couldn't give up its good money. Not only did it set a very harsh terms, it didn't even notify Wang Ai.

That was in the distant 2003. The first time Wang Ai became famous internationally was at the Korea-Japan World Cup the previous year. After that, his commercial value took off. Some domestic endorsement contracts did not deal with Ford Power Company at all, and he took it on his own.

I took it myself, but there was no one in their family who understood it. And Ford Bao Company was even less particular. They signed a contract and authorized Wang Ai's image. Once the money was received, it was over, without notifying Wang Ai at all.

As for dividing the money? What kind of money? Are your wages and bonuses less than yours?

This is the normal view of right and wrong among the older generation of sports people who came from the administrative era.

It was in this very chaotic state that Wang Ai spent the first two years when his commercial value took off. The purchase of Liaoning Football Team in 2005 to form Beyond Sports was a turning point. His professional sports agency was established, and he also learned from the young people of Tubingen.

After bringing in a few people, we started negotiating with Ford Power Company on the part of the national team's collective image licensing involving Wang Ai.

In the 2006 World Cup, as the national team advanced to the quarterfinals, the conflict between Wang Ai and Ford Power Company broke out. The two parties launched three years of negotiations, with the share ratio ranging from 0 to 1 to 2 to 3. During this period, several negotiations broke down. Ford

Representatives of Bao Company accused Wang Ai of being greedy for profit, and Shi Wenjun condemned Ford Bao Company for being domineering; Ford Bao Company threatened to fire Wang Ai, and Shi Wenjun responded by not participating in advertising endorsement activities... Finally, Yan Shiduo, the head of the Football Association at the time, was forced to come forward.

Reconciliation prevented the two sides from bringing the conflict to the media.

During this period, both parties were still going their own way. When Ford Power came in to do some errands, they notified Wang Ai and authorized the image to others, completely regardless of whether it conflicted with Wang Ai's image. Some sponsors were even using Wang Ai's image.

During the portrait, Wang Ai was not wearing the regular uniforms worn by the national team, and they were not appearing in a group. Wang Ai, on the other hand, completely ignored the sponsor's request that Wang Ai attend the event and exclude similar brands, and used this method to punish

Sponsors who are greedy for cheap. For example, for a while, Wang Ai endorsed two brands of sneakers at the same time, but he never wore the ones endorsed by Ford Power Company.

The two sides were so noisy that various sponsors complained.
