"Mr. Merkley, then I will be responsible for bringing your ideas to the person in charge at Puma. As for whether it will succeed, I really can't guarantee it."
The phone call lasted only a few minutes, but Lister only felt one thing from the other end of the phone.
Ambition.
Deep ambition.
The ambitions of Barwell Merkley.
There was only one thing he asked Lister on the phone.
He just hopes that Lister can help convince Puma. And his meaning is very simple, that is, if Lister can convince Puma, he hopes to let them talk to him.
As soon as he said it, Lister understood what he meant.
He is trying to achieve political success.
He has secured a sponsor for the national team. If the sponsorship contract is lucrative, this will greatly increase his weight in the Czech Football Association.
But Riester was not disgusted at all.
People have desires.
As long as you are not swallowed up by desire, then it doesn't really matter if you have desires.
If you have no desires, you will be strong.
Those who have no desires or desires, or those who have desires that Rist cannot satisfy, are not the people Rist wants to cooperate with.
Because those people have no desires, or Lister cannot satisfy their desires, such people cannot make Lister psychologically sound.
ambitious.
People who can help themselves are Riester's most ideal partners.
Pavel Merkli should hope to become the future president of the Czech Football Association, so he will definitely need List. Sparta Prague is the largest club in the Czech Republic, and List will soon become the Czech Republic's number one agent.
Riester's power will grow stronger and stronger.
By then, Barwell Merkley will rely on List more and more.
Of course, as a Czech agent, Lister, no matter how he develops in the future, Czech football is the foundation of Lister. Even if Lister fails outside, as long as he maintains his strong position in Czech football, he can rise again anytime and anywhere.
.
Czech football is the foundation of Riester.
As long as this fundamental is not lost, Lister will never decline.
Therefore, some help from the above is also needed.
Pavel Merkley is good.
So Riester is ready to help.
And in Rist's view, it is an important moment for Puma to change its strategy.
If you want to get the Czech market, sponsoring the Czech national team is really a curiosity. And Rist hopes that Puma will sponsor the national team, so that Nedved and Boboski, who have just signed the endorsement contract, will naturally become representatives of Czech football.
.
…………
"Mr. Cherny, this is..."
After receiving a call from his secretary, Jochen Leitz walked out with a smile.
Riester just left at noon, and the two sides were having a good conversation at that time. Why did Riester come back again?
Some doubts.
Lister saw Jochen Leitz and stretched out his hand to shake his hand. Then he shrugged and said, "I'm back because of someone else's request. Mr. Leitz, don't you think I'm too annoying?"
"That's right. Mr. Cherny is welcome here anytime and anywhere. Come on, please come in."
Soon Jochen Leitz's secretary made Riester a cup of coffee.
Jochen Leitz did not sit in his seat, but sat side by side with Lister. He did not speak, but waited for Lister to speak.
Maybe something happened?
It shouldn't be.
Lister had already signed the endorsement contract on behalf of Nedved and Boboski.
"This time I received a call from China. The Czech Football Association is looking for sponsors for the national team. They heard that Puma is looking for Nedved and Boboski to endorse. So I want to know if Puma sponsors the Czech national team.
Thoughts?”
Lister is just a sounding board.
The Czech Football Association temple is too small.
Although the current Puma is not as good as Adidas, Nike and other big brands, it is still a big company after all. If you don’t have connections, it will be difficult to meet Jochen Letz just relying on the Czech Football Association’s brand.
Even if you want to cooperate with Puma, it would be nice to meet a few Puma executives at most.
CEOs like Jochen Leitz are rare to find.
And Riester is negotiating with Puma.
That's why Pavel Merkley found Lister through Nehoda.
That's what Nehoda does.
If there is no Nehoda in Lister's agency now, then even if Pavel Merkley wants to entrust Lister, it will be difficult to find a channel.
But with Nehoda, everything becomes easier.
Nehoda is unknown to almost everyone in Czech football.
Riester is willing to help.
But it won’t be all-encompassing.
At most it's just matchmaking.
The success was due to List's contribution, but the failure was due to the poor negotiations of the Czech Football Association.
"Czech national team?"
Jochen Leitz murmured to himself.
There was no change in his expression, he just kept repeating this sentence.
Actually?
Jochen Leitz was already overjoyed. He couldn't help himself with the joy in his heart. If he hadn't practiced so well, Lister would have screamed with excitement when he said it just now.
The Czech national team is Jochen Leitz’s next goal.
They are currently looking down on the Czech market, Adidas and Nike. Their main battlefields are in developed countries, among the current major EU countries.
Few sports brands are interested in Central European countries like the Czech Republic and the currently turbulent Eastern European countries.
Because the markets in these places are small.
But Jochen Leitz is different.
His strategy is to avoid strong enemies and slowly surround them from these markets that others do not pay attention to. He first uses Nedvěd and Boboski as endorsements, and then sponsors the Czech national team.
This is an established tactic.
Unexpectedly, the Czech Football Association posted it themselves.
This is great.
Now it is not Puma begging the Czech Football Association, but the Czech Football Association begging Puma.
This will give you an advantage in negotiations.
Therefore, he did not express his position and kept playing with the coffee cup in his hand. He neither drank the coffee nor put down the cup.
Jochen Leitz did this on purpose.
But Riester didn't care.
Although Puma sponsors the Czech national team, List will have made a great contribution by then. It will expand his contacts in the Czech Football Association, and List will definitely be able to get some agency fees in the process.
But these are indirect benefits.
There are not many direct benefits.
It's good to succeed, but there's nothing to lose if you don't succeed.
So Riester was not in a hurry.
Let’s take a look at Jochen Leitz’s office. We met in the reception room in the morning. This was the first time we saw Jochen Leitz’s office.
Exquisite.
Unique.
It's not luxurious, but it's not that simple either. The most important thing is that the design of the whole room is very unique, I should say very distinctive. Lister has been in many offices, but this is the first time he has seen an office like Jochen Leitz's.
.
And I remembered another thing.
Peter Kuba, his transfer to Kaiserslautern is being handled by David Hanush.
I don't know how the conversation went.
Jochen Leitz wanted to take advantage of Lister.
Then take advantage of the situation to suppress sponsorship fees.
But after a while, it was discovered that Lister was completely absentminded.
So I smiled bitterly.
He said to the absent-minded Riester: "Mr. Cherny, originally we had no intention of sponsoring the national team. But we have a good start in our cooperation. Since it is you who are speaking, I will seriously consider it."
Riester came back to his senses and looked at Jochen Leitz, wanting to spit.
Shit.
Riester had just met Jochen Leitz, and the two of them had no friendship at all. Riester did not believe that he still had such strength.
Listening to Jochen Leitz's words, Lister had already made up his mind.
Puma's current strategic change is to surround the cities with rural areas.
Sponsorship of the Czech national team should be on their agenda.
However, Riester pretended to be dumbfounded and said happily: "That's so polite. Mr. Leitz, I will pass this good news to the Czech Football Association. Pavel Merkley has been promoting this matter.
, I believe he will come to negotiate soon."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled slightly.
Lister took the credit for his mistakes and took the credit directly. It was as if he was the one who contributed to the success of Puma and the Czech national team.
Jochen Leitz used this attitude to show that Puma had never thought of sponsoring the Czech national team.
At that time, you can forcefully lower the price during negotiations.
"In that case, Mr. Riester, you might as well not go back to China. People from the Czech Football Association can come over and join in the negotiations together."
