Chapter 167 Banquet (End)

Ajisken offered such a price for buying Tottenham's chest advertising position in 2oo4 years. After all, the chest advertising of the top giants during this period was basically only one line higher than this price. Taking Manchester United, which was the most successful commercialization, as an example, the Red Devils renewed a four-year contract with Vodafone this year, and the sponsorship amount was only 9 million pounds per year. As for Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, their income in this item was 20 million euros (about 14 million pounds) and 14 million euros (about 10 million pounds) respectively!

Therefore, although the sponsorship contract Aggis offered to Tottenham this time (7.5 million pounds per year on average) is a certain gap with those top giants, it can be called a conscience price. After all, Tottenham is just a strong team that has just revealed signs of rising, and it is impossible for them to require the same treatment as these top giants.

It is precisely because Ajis felt very regretful and incredible about George's statement. Because he couldn't figure out why the other party refused this offer - it was impossible that George really didn't want to terminate the contract with hoLsTen in advance, right?

Even if you are not satisfied with the sponsorship amount and are worried that this contract will damage Tottenham's long-term interests, we can sit down and talk slowly, such as adding some additional terms, stipulating that after Tottenham achieves certain results (league championship, Champions League semi-finals, Champions League champions, etc.), Barclays must increase the sponsorship fees accordingly, and there is no need to refuse so simply!

Of course, Aguiz didn't know that the reason why George chose to reject Barclays's fat contract was, on the one hand, because the sponsorship contract between Totten and hoLsTen had not expired. If he chose to terminate the contract early now, it would not only affect the club image of Totten, but also leave people with a bad impression that he was greedy and had no contract spirit. For example, in his previous life, Vodafone terminated his sponsorship contract with the latter when Manchester United fell into a trough. At that time, Vodafone proudly claimed that they had successfully avoided greater losses. However, what Vodafone did not expect was that as soon as they terminated their cooperation with Manchester United, the Red Devils won the league and Champions League championship in the next two seasons, and Vodafone was named for being treacherous and unsightly, and lost a complete defeat on all fronts.

On the other hand, George is not very concerned about the sponsorship amount given by Barclays. Because he knows the future trend of football, he knows clearly that at this time, he signs a long-term contract with the other party, even if the additional terms are added, the only one who suffers in the end will be Tottenham!

You should know that when George traveled through time, Real Madrid's revenue in jersey and chest advertising alone reached an astonishing 220,000 pounds last year, and the sponsorship contract between Manchester United and Chevrolet was as high as 470,000 pounds per year! Even Arsenal, which had not won a championship for ten years, had a sponsorship amount of 30,000 pounds per year!

Therefore, although it is still 2oo4 years, and it is a full twelve years away from the time when George travels, Aggis's offer still makes George feel like he is "selling" his chest advertisements - now all the sponsorship fees related to football are on the fast lane of high growth. The earlier these ownerships are sold, the longer the contract term is set, and the more Tottenham will lose!

Therefore, in terms of commercial sponsorship, George sets the standard that the contract period shall not exceed three years. Because only in this way can the maximum benefits of Tottenham be guaranteed!

"Okay, Chairman Ajis. For the sake of club image, I really cannot agree to your offer now." Seeing Ajis' expression a little frustrated, George had to comfort him, "However, I promise you here that when our sponsorship contract with hoLsTen expires in two years, as long as the price gap is not too great, I will definitely give priority to accepting the offer from Barclays!"

After two years, even if you can win the advertising position on Tottenham's chest, the cost will probably be much more than it is now. Aguis thought depressedly. However, after listening to George's explanation, the chairman of Barclays Bank felt a little better - at least the reason given by George was acceptable, and

"Also, Chairman Ajis. Although the sponsorship contract for this chest advertisement will definitely not be reached this time, it does not mean that we have no other business to negotiate." George smiled and raised his wine glass to Ajis and whispered, "I think you also know that since the Internet economy bubble burst three years ago, many high-tech companies have been in trouble because of their sharp decline in stock prices. I am now planning to use a sum of funds to acquire the stocks of these companies. I wonder if Barclays can provide me with such a loan?"

"Haha, this is easy to say." Seeing that there is business to do, Ajis finally smiled, "Don't worry, I will do my best to promote this loan. With your return on investment over the years, I believe no one will object to this statement."

In this way, in a few words, the two reached a consensus on the loan matter. After the banquet, both parties could have a more in-depth discussion on the details.

Seeing Agis, who had become a big business, walked away with satisfaction. George continued to wander around the hall with his wine glass and was about to get close to the guests, and talked with each other from time to time, so that the atmosphere in the hall would always maintain a certain degree of heat.

Although this private banquet cannot bring much obvious benefits to George and Tottenham Hotspur, as the saying goes, "A man is short-speaking and short-selling". Since these people are willing to attend the banquet held by George this time, it means that they have the intention to have a good relationship with George. Otherwise, they can find a reason to refuse.

Therefore, for George, taking this opportunity to make a good relationship with important people (the main sponsor of the league, director of the British company, etc.) is his important task at this banquet!

As for George's other task, he was to act as an intermediary to help others build a bridge, such as introducing some real-life seniors to Abbot, who was determined to enter the upper class of the UK, or using his personal connections to recommend several candidate targets to Edwards, who was looking for buyers for Manchester United stocks in his hands, etc.

The reason why the Abu Dhabi consortium in his previous life encountered walls after taking over Manchester City was denounced by many people as breaking the rules in the industry, and even repeatedly attracted joint suppression from various forces was because the Abu Dhabi consortium lacked connections in the UK and could not find a guide who could bring them into this circle and be familiar with the relevant rules. What George is doing at this banquet is such a job similar to a "guide"!

In this way, in a warm atmosphere, the private banquet held at Boyd Leiden Manor finally ended successfully, and almost all the guests came with pleasure and returned with satisfaction!
