The two brothers chatted until late at night before going into the house to rest separately at the urging of the women. They hurried to the airport early the next morning and boarded the plane to Nuremberg. After a busy schedule, the two sides finally held a press conference at 1 p.m. to announce the renewal of their relationship.
Appointment successful.
Under the spotlight, Wang Ai and General Manager Adidas exchanged agreements after signing the contract, and generously showed it to the reporters: the annual endorsement fee was 80 million euros.
This is the highest endorsement fee for a football star so far. The second highest was Wang Ai’s 64 million euros five years ago. The third highest was Messi, who gave up Adidas and switched to Reebok. The endorsement fee was 4,200 pounds, which is about 50 million.
Euros. The fourth is Cristiano Ronaldo, who endorses Nike, with 33 million pounds, less than 40 million euros. Neymar, known as "the strongest outside the three super giants", is fifth, with an annual income of 22 million pounds from endorsement of Puma.
This is not an easy decision for Adidas, which has always cast a wide net. When the signing ceremony was completed, after answering several reporters' questions according to the process and attending the evening reception, Adidas General Manager Herbert said to Wang Aidi with unsatisfactory thoughts.
: "You are too expensive. I have spent a lot of effort to convince the board of directors, and I may have to face questioning from shareholders next."
Looking at Herbert who shook his head repeatedly, Wang Ai said calmly: "Less than four months after we signed the contract five years ago, I led the Chinese team to win the World Cup. Less than a year after signing the contract, I became the first player in football history.
A group of superstars, less than two years after signing the contract, we started to fight the super giant war, and we have fought three times now. In the fourth year of signing, I came to Real Madrid, the best club in the world, so, did you lose?"
Hulbert thought for a while, smiled and shook his head: "Although you are very expensive, you can always surprise us and give us returns beyond expectations. This is one of the reasons why I was able to convince the board of directors this time."
Wang Ai nodded and stretched out his hand: "Believe me, Herbert, my friend said something very reasonable. Even if I decline after the age of 30, decline rapidly, decline by 60%, I will still average 60% per game.
A super shooter with more than 1 goal.”
Herbert laughed and held Wang Ai's hand.
But Lao Bai, who was quoted by Wang Ai, watched the whole process without saying a word, because he was completely confused, and his head was buzzing from morning to evening.
Because Wang Ai’s real endorsement fee this time is not 80 million but 100 million!
"What's going on?"
After the cocktail party, Wang Aifei and his party headed south to Munich to fly back to Madrid the next day. After arriving at the hotel, Lao Bai finally couldn't help it anymore and grabbed Wang Aifei to make him explain clearly.
"Didn't he say that he has to convince the board of directors and deal with shareholders?" Wang Ai said with a smile.
Lao Bai looked at Wang Ai doubtfully, shook his head and said, "I always feel that it's not that simple."
"Here." Wang Ai took out the original contract from his bag and said, "See for yourself."
Lao Bai rubbed his hands: "This, let's speak German. I said it's okay, but from the looks of it..."
Wang Ai put the contract away angrily and handed it to Shi Wenjun: "To put it simply, my asking price is 200 million, and he can give up to 80 million. In the end, he counted 20 million as a bonus, a floating amount, and not a fixed endorsement.
Ferri, if I am satisfied this way, it will be easier for him to deal with the board of directors, do you understand?"
"Oh, it's floating?" Lao Bai suddenly realized.
Wang Ai pouted: "The condition is that I play no less than 40 official games every year!"
Lao Bai was stunned for a moment: "This, this is for free, right? What kind of float is this?"
"It was supposed to be given to me in the first place. If I hadn't taken care of him and been my partner for many years, do you think I could agree to such a condition?" Wang Ai said coaxingly.
"Okay, stop bragging." Shi Wenjun tried to undermine Wang Ai and explained to Lao Bai: "We also want to keep a low profile. After all, the difference between 99 and 100 is not 1%. The first one to get one
Billions of endorsement fees may cause us trouble. So he wants to take care of the heart health of the board of directors, which is actually what we want."
Lao Bai exhaled: "So that's it, then why are you twice as tall as Messi?"
Wang Ai spread his hands; "Are you stupid? I haven't explained it to you? I have a fixed market of 1.4 billion people, and it is a market that is developing very fast. In addition, the whole of Asia is looking at me. Messi
How can I have such conditions? Besides, I am a two-time World Cup champion captain, and he doesn’t even have an America’s Cup.”
Lao Bai: "Yes, yes, my brain is short-circuited. In addition, there is another reason why you can overfulfill the task every time, right? After you signed the contract last time, you have fought three super giant wars in the past five years and won twice.
World Cup winner...so how do you look ahead to the next five years with him?"
Speaking of this, Lao Bai was a little worried: "It's hard to say who will win the next World Cup, right? You guys can't win the super giant war, either?"
Wang Ai shook his head: "I didn't include the future in the contract, and even if I did, they wouldn't believe it. The most I can do is promise them that I won't create a scandal, and I will guarantee attendance and get their bonuses. How about the future, okay?
No matter what they earn, they can generally accept it. This contract simulates the ordinary future."
Lao Bai sighed and turned around to leave Wang Ai's room. When he reached the door, he turned around and said, "Okay, you can rest. I'll go back to recuperate. This day has scared me. Besides, I won't tell others."
Wang Ai smiled and closed the door, looking at the personal guards in the room: "Let's go back to Madrid for a big dinner tomorrow!"
After saying that, he put his arm around Shi Wenjun's shoulders and entered the back room, put away the shoulder bag containing the contract, and sat together on a chair in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, speechless for a while.
"Actually, your endorsement fee is three times that of Messi." Shi Wenjun said quietly.
"Well, they are all before tax, but I am after tax." Wang Ai chuckled: "That's good, although the income may have to be reduced a little, but is it safe? Look, Messi is still suffering from tax evasion.
Woolen cloth."
Shi Wenjun shook his head, stood up, and came to Wang Ai: "Let me take a good look at the 1 billion man!"
Wang Ai tilted his chin and laughed strangely: "Just looking at it? Not tasting it?"
Shi Wenjun bit his lower lip, suddenly stepped forward and sat on Wang Ai's lap, hugged Wang Ai's head tightly, and after a moment pushed Wang Ai away in disgust: "It's all your fault."
Wang Ai raised his eyes and looked at the deep eyes of the little beauty in the dim light: "When you are proud in life, it is the most beautiful to be accompanied by a beautiful woman."
The little beauty hit Wang Ai angrily, and then gently stretched out her hand. The two of them moved closer to each other warmly, and even their heartbeats calmed down...and then gradually became more intense!
"It's all your fault!"
On the plane the next day, Shi Wenjun secretly rubbed his knees while no one was paying attention. When Wang Ai smiled and said, "You were..." Before she could finish her words, the little beauty raised her eyebrows and said, "It's all your fault!
"
Wang Ai immediately compromised: "Yes, it's all my fault. The floor... well, it's all my fault!"
The little beauty then snorted and cooked it again, and then secretly gave Wang Ai an elbow to satisfy herself.
