"Five years have a date, 400,000 euros per year?" Deborah turned her eyes away from the contract text and looked up at Luen Shitzer, deputy manager of Adidas's business development department opposite.

Shitzer, who was wearing a suit and tie, asked with a smile: "Is there any problem, Miss Debola?"

"Of course there is a problem. Mr. Shitzel." Deborah put down the contract, then crossed her hands on the table, looking directly at Shitzel opposite her.

"First, the contract term is too long, second, the contract amount is too low. I don't think this is a fair and reasonable contract. You have seen Rong's performance in the first half of the season. He is one of the best players in the Bundesliga in the first half of the season. Maybe not one of them."

Unlike the image that always frowns and always has melancholy in front of glory

Now Debola is the one who is strong in the face of being a strong woman.

"Is the best player in the Bundesliga worth only this price?" she asked back.

"We don't buy this price casually, Miss Debola." Shizeer spread his hands, looking aggrieved. "We have a special commercial value assessment department that will comprehensively consider the business value of a player based on many standards. These standards include the player's personal strength, the team's performance and influence, the player's media exposure, whether the player's image is positive or negative, whether the player plays for the national team, the national team's performance and performance... etc. According to this set of standards, Rong is this price."

"Rong's personal strength is certainly outstanding, but his technical characteristics are single, and there is no other thing except speed. Our professional team is cautious about his future development and needs to be observed more. After all, he has just arrived in Europe for half a season, and he will only develop to a few in the future. We cannot say that it is too dead..."

"Secondly, Werder Bremen's performance has been ups and downs in recent years, and there is no champion that can be seen. Werder Bremen is in the world, especially in China where Rong is located, and his influence and popularity are not as good as Bayern Munich. If Rong had continued to stay in Bayern Munich, his business value would definitely be higher than that now."

Dai Bo snorted: "I don't think that a player who can't even enter the roster in Bayern Munich can have a higher commercial value than Werder Bremen's main core. Werder Bremen is now the first in the league. According to historical rules, 80% of the winter break champions ended up winning the league championship. So it's only a matter of time before Werder Bremen won the championship."

"You are right, Miss Deborah. But that is people's prediction after all, and it does not represent reality. Football is round and anything can happen. When Werder Bremen did not win the championship salad plate, no one can say that Werder Bremen is already the champion, right? Therefore, in terms of club honors, honor is a loss."

"In addition, Rong doesn't seem to like dealing with the media very much? We noticed that he rarely accepts interviews and exclusive interviews from the media. So his media exposure is seriously insufficient. A star's reputation depends largely on media exposure. If the media is not interested in him, or rarely sees news about him in the media, then his reputation must be limited."

Shitzer began to explain to Debola. Although what he said made sense, Debola heard the scent of contempt from it. It was as if Gao Taigao used a cold tone to determine the commercial value of glory.

Of course, he was right, but Deborah didn't believe that Adidas would have such a formal face for players they really liked.

"To sum up, the annual endorsement fee of 400,000 yuan is the maximum amount we can give. I hope you can think carefully about it Miss Debola. Of course, we can also increase the endorsement fee based on Glory's performance. For example, if he won the Golden Boot Award, we can add an additional 200,000..."

"No, Mr. Szell." Deborah interrupted the other party. "I will not accept such additional terms in this case. This shows a kind of charity with a humiliating nature for my players."

"Uh, you misunderstood, Miss Debola. I didn't humiliate and donate charity..."

Deborah shook her head and stood up. "That's all, Mr. Shitzel. The differences between us are too big, and I think it's absolutely impossible to reach an agreement."

This is to announce the breakdown of the negotiations and leave.

Shitzer stood up and reached out to try to keep him.

After all, Rongguang is the most successful Chinese player in so many years. Thinking about the huge Chinese market behind him, Shitzer is unwilling to let Debola go like this.

Prices must be suppressed, but the purpose of price reduction is not to get rid of the players, but to maximize profits.

Wouldn't it be beautiful if you can sign the glory and use a very low cost?

So Shitzer said: "You can consider that Miss Deborah. Adidas has a huge influence worldwide. If Rong can successfully sign us, it will also be a great help to the construction of his personal brand. In addition, we have also noticed that Rong does not currently play for the Chinese team. Adidas is a good partner of the Chinese Football Association and the Chinese national team. I think if Rong can sign us, Adidas will be happy to promote Rong's choice for the Chinese national team..."

Deborah smiled at Shitzer.

Her smile made Shitzer stunned—the woman looked so beautiful when she smiled.

However, behind this smile, Debola's decisive rejection was indeed.

"I think as long as Rong wants to go, you can go, so you won't bother your company. I think the gap between the two sides is still very big, so there is no need to continue wasting time. Sorry, Mr. Shitzer, I hope we still have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

After saying that, she turned around and left without leaving a trace of hesitation. She would not let Shitzer think she was trying to get

In fact, after this contact, she no longer wanted to cooperate with the arrogant Germans.

Anyway, sports brands are not just Adidas.

It’s just that Rongguang people are in Germany and Adidas is also in Germany.

※※※

When Deborah turned and left, Shitzer was also wondering if this was the lady's strategy. He pretended not to talk about it and used leaving to force himself to surrender first.

But how could I give in?

Adidas is one of the best sports brands in the world, and I don’t know how many big-name players under it are. How could they surrender to a newcomer?

He thought that it was Deborah and Rongguang who would surrender.

As long as she goes back and thinks calmly, she will understand that this price is really a advantage for Rongguang. With his understanding of those Chinese players, the endorsement fee of 400,000 euros per year is the highest among Chinese players.

So Shitzer believes that Deborah will call herself in the end.

That time is probably the time for real negotiations.

He stood in the office, and did not say anything to keep him, but watched Debola leave coldly.

※※※

"Not successful?" Rongguang was a little surprised after hearing Debola's report.

When he heard that Adidas was a German brand, he was quite confident in this negotiation. With his performance in the Bundesliga, Adidas will definitely be interested.

"Why?" Rongguang asked again.

"They said you didn't meet the standards." Deborah gave him a blank look.

"How come I can't meet the standards?"

"Because you have little media exposure," said Debola. "They said that you rarely see interviews about you in the media, and your reports are limited to match reports. The public does not know you well enough, so your popularity is low. The popularity is low, and the endorsement fee is naturally low. 400,000 euros a year, and you are willing to sign for five years?"

Rong Guang was stunned, then shook his head: "Five years... two million? It's too little, but... accepting an interview will delay my training time..."

"It won't take long. You can't deal with the media every day," said Debola. "Do you want to make a lot of money, Rong?"

"Of course I want it, who doesn't want it?"

"Then listen to me. You performed well on the court. But you need to let others understand you more comprehensively. We must build your momentum so that more people can understand who you are. To form topics in public opinion..."

"What are you hesitating about? Let's go to a newspaper for an interview right away." Rongguang shouted impatiently.

Debola held her forehead with her hands: "Not now, Rong..."

"Ah?" Rongguang was surprised.

"Why? Didn't you say you should accept more media interviews?" Rong Guang asked.

"Accepting media interviews depends on the timing. Only when you show up at the best time can you maximize the effect." Debola explained with glory.

"When is the time?" Rong Guang asked.

"Your performance in the first two rounds of the league made everyone feel very strange. There are also discussions in the media about why your performance is good and bad. This is the media attention, but it is not enough. Everyone is just curious and speculating, but lacks an explosion point..." Debola sat in front of Rongguang and explained to Rongguang with body language.

"It's the winter break now, and the media's attention has shifted to transfer introduction. You are not the protagonist of public opinion. But the media will remember it. So at the beginning of the second half of the season, your performance in the first two games will definitely be brought up by everyone to talk about. The popularity will be hyped up again. The more curious you are about you, and you are more interested in what state you will show in the next game. At that time... If you can show subversive performance, there will be a blowout."

Rongguang nodded quickly: "This is easy to deal with, is it good on the court? I am the best at it."

"Don't say it too slowly, Rong. You have just started the special training丨What if you don't perform well?"

Rong Guang shook his head like a rattle: "Impossible, impossible. In order to make money, you must perform well."

Rongguang’s obsession with money is very clear now. So when Rongguang said this, Debola stopped talking about this topic. She just nodded: "Okay. After you perform well again in the game, the media will report your performance contrasts overwhelmingly. At that time... it is the best time for you to come out to accept media interviews."

Speaking of her profession, Debola showed strong confidence. Her tone of speaking was completely different from before.

Rongguang was stunned when he saw the expression of confidently giving advice to Jiangshan.

The Debola in front of him looked very strange, completely different from the Debola who was always taciturn, concise and serious about him... He almost thought he had read the wrong person.

Debola then noticed Rong Guang's eyes.

"What's wrong?" she asked strangely.

"Uh, no, nothing." Rongguang quickly shook his head and changed the subject. "So, as long as I continue training during this period, it will be right?"

“Yes, keep training and work hard to improve yourself.”

Rongguang pinched his hands and made a sound: "Hehe, I'm good at this"
