After the dinner with Gao Shen, Mubarak returned to his hotel room and immediately made a video call to his boss in the Middle East to report the latest situation and progress.
"Have you met?"
"Well, we met and we talked for more than an hour."
"How about it?"
"I think he will be the one to help us take off."
"So sure? You've never been one to make judgments easily."
"He is very special, and I am completely convinced by him." Mubarak said with certainty.
Mansour on the other side of the video call pondered for a while and did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked: "How was the negotiation on commercial sponsorship? Did he agree?"
"He didn't agree. He said he would think about it again. He seemed very sensible." Mubarak praised again.
It can be seen that although he only met Gao Shen once, Mubarak was deeply impressed by his knowledge, understanding of football, and his rationality and calmness at the business level.
"Twenty-eight years old is not easy!" Mansour nodded.
That’s 10 million euros!
He also didn't expect that Gao Shen could still maintain his sanity.
In fact, he himself is not very old, but he was born as a member of the royal family, so his knowledge is naturally extraordinary.
"First let people negotiate the commercial sponsorship as soon as possible. With this relationship, it will be much more convenient to discuss cooperation in the future. At least there will be mutual trust," Mansour instructed.
Mubarak nodded, "I understand."
These two business cooperations were carefully selected. The sponsorship fee seemed very high, and Gao Shen was like a pie falling from the sky. But in fact, both Emirates Airlines and the Emirates Tourism Authority were indeed
I have taken a fancy to the huge markets in China and Asia, and want to increase efforts to promote it here.
Gao Shen's current popularity and influence are definitely worthy of such a contract.
Not to mention, with the help of this cooperation, Mubarak and Manchester City have truly established a relationship with Gao Shen.
Regardless of whether Gao Shen chooses Real Madrid or another team this summer, I believe he will not refuse if there is an opportunity to discuss cooperation in the future, or even if Manchester City encounters any problems and asks Gao Shen for help.
…
Gao Shen vaguely guessed something, but he didn't care.
To put it bluntly, with his current fame and status, there are countless teams, sponsors and people from all walks of life who want to contact him and get close to him, and it is even more difficult to get involved with him.
Just like what Lucas once said, if Gao Shen released news that he was going to a certain nightclub on a certain day of a certain month and year, there would definitely be many beauties from all over the world flying over to see him.
Because everyone knows that as long as you get close to Gao Shen, you don't even need to be his real girlfriend. As long as you make a public appearance with him and make a date with him for one night, you will immediately be worth a hundred times. You will definitely be on the pages of major European media tomorrow and become famous in one fell swoop.
Therefore, in the past period, there were reports almost every week that this Italian lady wanted to give birth to a child for Gao Shen, that Roman godmother was willing to date Gao Shen, and that female star said that Gao Shen was her ideal partner...
Gao Shen was already used to this.
Mubarak took this opportunity to get close to him, which he thought was normal.
As for sponsorship cooperation from the United Arab Emirates, Gao Shen is also open.
Why not make money if you have money?
Of course, he doesn’t think the UAE will suffer.
To put it bluntly, these capitalists are all very careful with their calculations. Since they are willing to give such a contract, it proves that they must see an opportunity to make money in Gao Shen.
The only thing Gao Shen needs to do is to protect his own legitimate rights and interests.
So, after a good sleep, the next morning, he calculated the time and called Su Qing, who was on her lunch break from work, and talked to her about the matter.
"As far as I know, what Liu Wenda said is that the tourism agreement between China and the United Arab Emirates is indeed about to be signed." Su Qing confirmed some of Liu Wenda's words.
This also adds credibility.
"It's a very important matter. Didn't you have an agent and lawyer that you have cooperated with before? I happen to have a senior who is also good at handling this aspect of business. I called him and asked him to participate so that we have someone we can trust.
Look, if you and I can control it remotely, it won’t be a big problem."
Su Qing's proposal suited Gao Shen's heart and he agreed immediately.
"I think you should set up a company to be responsible for this business, so that you can save worry and further explore business value." Su Qing suggested.
She feels that the commercial value of Gao Shen has been greatly underestimated.
Otherwise, would Emirates Airlines and Emirates Tourism be willing to pay so much money?
By setting up a company, you can legally avoid a large amount of tax. This is an open secret whether in European football or in China. Many football stars and stars even go so far as to directly register the company in some tax havens.
.
People who are familiar with it, such as Beckham, Zidane and others, have often done this.
In comparison, he is considered honest and abides by the law to avoid taxes legally.
The most important thing is that most of what he talks about is after-tax income, and you don’t need to bear it yourself.
Gao Shen believed in Su Qing and left this matter to her.
After the serious talk, he took advantage of Su Qing's lunch break to talk on the phone and whispered some words that were not humane to outsiders. Gao Shen then hung up the phone.
He thought of Napoli and Manchester City again, but he also thought of Real Madrid.
With his current identity and status, in the eyes of teams like Manchester City and Naples, he is God, but in the eyes of wealthy teams like Real Madrid, Gao Shen is just one of many famous coaches.
At best, he is currently famous.
Gao Shen knew very well that Florentino really wanted him to coach Real Madrid, but he was unwilling to listen to his opinions and run Real Madrid according to his ideas. Even in Florentino's mind, was there any
He and Real Madrid are still Real Madrid.
In the final analysis, the chips in Gao Shen's hand are not heavy enough.
"I will definitely use facts to prove that I am right!" Gao Shen said firmly.

…………
April 15th, Stadio San Paolo, Naples.
In the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Naples faced Arsenal at home.
Although Napoli defeated the Gunners 4-0 in the first round and won a lot of applause, basically advancing to the semi-finals in advance, in the second round, Gao Shen still did not dare to be careless and played with the full lineup.
Arsenal formed a 4,2,3,1 formation, with Song and Denilson playing as double midfielders, to challenge Naples away from home.
Obviously, Wenger is also learning from the experience and lessons learned in the first leg and will play more conservatively in the second leg away game.
As for promotion, everyone knows that there is no hope for it.
If Arsenal still takes the initiative, Naples might really score a big score in two rounds.
Of course, the lineup is conservative, but when it comes to the game, Arsenal still tries to attack at the beginning and try Naples' situation. What if Naples becomes careless?
But Gao Shen obviously did not intend to give Arsenal such an opportunity. As soon as the Gunners took the lead, Naples gave them a head-on blow.
Both sides were more cautious, but the competition was still fierce and the pace was fast.
The first half ended in a zero-0 draw, but as soon as the second half started, Naples took the initiative.
Sanchez received a pass from Biglia, cut inside with the ball from the left, broke into the penalty area, and scored with a low shot, opening the scoring for Naples and extending the total score to 5-0.
It wasn't until the 73rd minute that Arsenal launched a threatening counterattack. Robin van Persie received a through ball from Cesc Fabregas and deftly stopped the ball in the penalty area. After getting rid of David Luiz, he used a wonderful kick.
The volley brought Arsenal back a goal.
The Dutchman's shot was very exciting.
Even as an opponent, Gao Shen wanted to applaud Van Persie's goal.
In the end, the two sides shook hands and made a draw.
Naples won 1-1 at home and 4-0 away from home, with a total score of 5-1. They eliminated Arsenal and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
…
In another game, Manchester United challenged Porto away.
The two sides played 2-2 in the first round and went to the Portuguese Super League away game. Ferguson put together a very aggressive lineup, with Berbatov as the arrow, Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo forming a trident, and Giannis in the middle.
Gus, Anderson and Carrick partnered.
This lineup scored the first goal from the very beginning.
In just six minutes, Anderson assisted Cristiano Ronaldo to open the scoring for Manchester United.
This score was maintained until the end,
Manchester United defeated Porto 1-0 away from home and eliminated the Portuguese Super League team with a total score of 3-2.
In this way, the semi-finals in the first half will be Naples versus Manchester United.
The schedule is that Naples will play host first and then guest.
…
In the second half, Barcelona visited the Allianz Arena, defeated Bayern Munich 1-0, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 5-0. Guardiola's team continued to dominate the game and produced a very impressive performance.
.
Liverpool drew 1-1 with Villarreal away from home, defeated Yellow Submarine 2-0 at home, defeated Villarreal 3-1 on aggregate, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
The two teams in the bottom half are Barcelona and Liverpool.
…
After the Champions League semi-finals were announced, the Premier League teams accounted for half of the competition and were very strong.
Serie A is entirely supported by Naples, while La Liga is represented by Barcelona.
Judging from the odds of winning the championship, Barcelona is still in the lead, followed by Manchester United, the sophisticated Napoli is in third, and Liverpool is at the bottom. Benitez's team is mainly because of their encounter with Barcelona.
After reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League, the four teams are all of superior strength and everyone has a chance to advance to the finals.
But for Gao Shen, advancing to the finals is still too far away, and he won't even think about it.
What was before him was a mountain that he had been looking up to all these years.
Ferguson and his Manchester United!
This is also one of the best and strongest teams in the Champions League this season.
What troubled Gao Shen the most was that when he actually faced Ferguson and his Manchester United, he actually felt like he had no idea where to start.
He couldn't even guess how Ferguson would deal with him?
