Tottenham's official website has been particularly busy these days, with news about players' contract renewals coming one after another.
This is undoubtedly very good news for Tottenham fans.
For players like Eriksen, as the core of the team, their salary is not as high as that of substitutes on other top teams.
Every time I have a quarrel with fans of other teams, I always feel so aggrieved that I want to cry.
Levy seems to have good intentions and is helping the team save money, but in fact it is to earn more wealth for him and Lewis.
Of course, from this point of view, Levy is willing to develop Tottenham well.
After all, the better Tottenham is, the more valuable it is.
[Current fan satisfaction: 65]
Chen Dongcheng looked at his operation and was still very satisfied.
According to Marotta's analysis, Tottenham's revenue this year should be no less than 200 million pounds.
Compared with Tottenham's performance, this number is considered good or bad.
If the new stadium is built, the number of people it can accommodate will almost double, and ticket sales will almost double.
Especially on match days, it is possible to earn as much as five or six million pounds a day.
As the team's general manager, Marotta needs to be responsible for many things.
The construction of the new stadium is undoubtedly his most important task in the future.
"Boss, I would like to ask for your opinion regarding jersey advertising."
Marotta took out a piece of information and said: "Our current jersey sponsor is Under Armor, which was originally signed for five years and will take effect from 2011.
Levi and the others have been in contact with Nike before, but they can't agree on the price."
Tottenham's previous record was not good, and Under Armor offered an annual sponsorship fee of 10 million pounds, which was not bad.
However, the five-year contract is coming to an end, and Under Armor lacks sincerity.
The only nominal offer of 20 million pounds was passed directly by Marotta.
Nike's offer for Tottenham is also of little interest.
Tottenham's performance has been stagnant, they can't get good results, and they have no chance of winning the Champions League.
If they want Nike to spend a lot of money, Tottenham must be brave.
Marotta is very clear about Nike's thoughts.
But this situation cannot be changed as soon as he takes office.
If you want to gain respect, you have to speak with your strength.
"Levi's previous offer was 30 million pounds per year, which is the same as the sponsorship fee of our arch-rival Arsenal.
However, Nike has been bargaining and plans to negotiate a price of 25 million pounds."
Marotta sighed: "Boss, in my opinion it would be very unwise to sign a contract at this time."
If the boss were still Lewis, Marotta would definitely recommend signing the contract.
With Lewis's character, it is impossible to invest a lot of money.
Being responsible for your own profits and losses, the most important thing is to be safe and secure.
"Stop negotiating with Nike. Under Armor's sponsorship will last for two years. We will wait until we reach the Champions League this season."
Chen Dongcheng waved his hand and stopped the negotiation without hesitation.
After looking at the sponsorships of various teams, he realized that Tottenham had been developing very poorly in terms of business.
Without a record, where will the sponsorship come from?
Nike is so obsessed with Tottenham that they are reluctant to pay Tottenham even 30 million pounds.
However, he directly offered a fifteen-year contract to his city rival Chelsea, and the annual sponsorship fee was as high as 60 million pounds.
Chelsea's offer was more than double that of Tottenham, which made everyone in Tottenham envious and jealous.
Marotta immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He also felt that there was no need to be so anxious about jersey sponsorship.
When it comes to things like negotiation, whoever is anxious will be at a disadvantage.
Previously, Tottenham had to borrow too much money to build and repair the stadium, so they had to find a jersey sponsor in advance.
"If there is any competition in the near future, I would like to go there and see it."
"The day after tomorrow we will face Liverpool at home, and it will be Klopp's first game."
Marotta knows Tottenham's schedule very well, and when he mentions this round's opponents, he has a weird smile on his face.
If it had been the previous Tottenham team, maybe Klopp would have had a good start.
But now Tottenham is like a tiger descending from the mountain.
Players who have received high salaries are eager to prove themselves to their bosses.
Players who have not received high salaries are even more eager to kill everyone.
Fortunately, at the end of the season, I can get a contract with a higher salary.
There is no doubt that Klopp hit the muzzle of the gun, and the muzzle was red and hot.
Lewis sent an invitation, and Chen Dongcheng went to attend Lewis's party.
The location of the party was beyond Chen Dongcheng's expectation.
The black bodyguard responsible for leading the way took Chen Dongcheng and others to Butler's Pier near London Bridge.
A superyacht of more than 300 feet was traveling slowly on the sea.
When the Rolls-Royce was parked near the pier, it aroused the envy of a bunch of ordinary people.
"Did you see it? It must be another rich man who boarded Lewis's luxury cruise ship!"
"Damn world, that bastard Lewis made a fortune again, why are we still so poor?"
"Huh? He's actually a yellow race?"
"Whatever, we are only envious anyway. I heard that the waitresses on the cruise ship are very beautiful."
"Tsk, all fools know how those rich people could let go of the beautiful waitress above."
"My girlfriend works on a luxury yacht, but I trust her!"
"Brother, we all believe that your girlfriend will not betray you...do you believe it yourself?"
"I……"
…
People not far away were discussing. Chen Dongcheng, wearing sunglasses, boarded the yacht by boat, followed by his bodyguards.
This is Chen Dongcheng's first time to experience a yacht up close.
It's not that he can't afford the rent, it's just that he hasn't had the demand.
Lewis was informed by the bodyguard, holding a cigar in his left hand and coming over with a smile on his face.
"Chen, welcome to my party.
Here, you don't need to be formal.
You can choose any beauty on the yacht at will.
I have asked someone to prepare the room for you."
Chen Dongcheng looked at Lewis and made a gesture, and suddenly ten "female crew members" dressed in hot clothes appeared behind him.
The reason why they are called "female crew members" is that the way they dress is really incompatible with the crew members.
Chen Dongcheng took a look and found that basically every wealthy man on a yacht was accompanied by a female crew member.
I randomly picked a blond female crew member who was quite pleasing to my eyes.
The other person's appearance is more in line with Chen Dongcheng's aesthetics, but that's all.
As for what would happen with her, Chen Dongcheng had no idea at all.
On someone else's yacht, you still have so much fun.
What to do if you are videotaped? You must be on guard against others.
Chen Dongcheng took the champagne glass handed by the waiter and followed Lewis to greet other wealthy people.
"Hey guys, this Chen is the rich man from the East who bought Tottenham Hotspur from me. I believe you will be very interested in him."
After Lewis' introduction, the eyes of the wealthy people present suddenly changed.
They have known Lewis for a long time, and no one knows how greedy this old man is.
Buying Tottenham Hotspur from this old man is not an easy task.
For a time, the rich people chatted enthusiastically.
The speed of the yacht is neither too fast nor too slow, and soothing jazz music is playing on the deck.
Several female crew members danced gracefully. Regardless of the dance, they just asked you if your bikini is sexy enough.
However, Chen Dongcheng was very skeptical.
What else can these old men with an average age of fifty or sixty do?
Lewis took Chen Dongcheng around the yacht and was slightly out of breath from exhaustion.
Such a circle is really difficult for his 78-year-old body.
"Chen, there is a full-size tennis court there. You can bring your female crew members to play tennis with you."
When Lewis introduced it, he was inevitably a little proud.
How luxurious can you imagine it would be to build a full-size tennis court on a yacht?
It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Dongcheng was stunned by the cool operations of these big guys.
Sure enough, people still have to learn.
Only by learning from these big guys can you understand how to do tricks.
Lewis found a lounge chair, sat down leisurely, and enjoyed the gentle massage from the beautiful woman next to him.
Chen Dongcheng asked the blond girl next to him: "Can you play tennis?"
"certainly."
The blonde girl has a very sweet smile, and it seems that all the girls on the yacht have the same taste.
Maybe as people get older, they prefer girls whose smile can make them feel better.
A waiter brought a racket, and Chen Dongcheng played several rounds with the blonde girl.
With Chen Dongcheng's physical fitness, he can beat the girl to pieces in a short time when playing tennis.
However, the working principle of these girls is to please the guests invited by Lewis.
In the past, there were many crew members who were severely punished by Lewis for disobeying guests' orders.
In the eyes of these rich people, human rights are a joke.
The age of female crew members on yachts will never exceed twenty-five years old. This is a distinction.
The average British income is between 20,000 and 30,000 pounds, and the basic salary of these female crew members is more than 100,000 pounds.
Not to mention that guests on yachts often tip generously.
Every year a group of girls leave and a new group of girls join.
Chen Dongcheng played for a while, being exposed to the sun and sweating a lot.
Lewis stood up with a smile, waved, and a waiter immediately brought a towel.
"Chen, go and wash up. There will be a sumptuous lunch later. You will definitely like it."
Lewis looked at the blonde girl: "I think it would be more appropriate to set the lunch date in an hour, what do you think?"
Chen Dongcheng looked at this dishonest guy and smiled: "I think two hours is more appropriate."
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the room with the blonde girl.
Lewis really paid enough attention to Chen Dongcheng.
According to the waiter, Chen Dongcheng's room can be ranked among the top five on the yacht.
There were more than ten rich people present.
When we first met, Lewis gave Chen Dongcheng such a high ranking in his heart, which is enough to show something.
The blonde girl wanted to follow her in, but Chen Dongcheng refused.
"You should have a separate bath. I want to bathe myself."
"gentlemen……"
Chen Dongcheng smiled: "Sorry, I was negligent. You deserve this."
Looking at the thousand pounds in front of her, the blonde girl suddenly lost interest and reluctantly accepted the thousand pounds.
If possible, she would rather spend a romantic hour with the young rich man in front of her than just get a thousand pounds.
After taking a shower in the room, Lewis was very considerate and asked someone to send him a suit, which was a good size.
When Lewis heard the bodyguard's report, he narrowed his eyes slightly and was a little surprised.
When they met again, Lewis asked directly: "Chen, are you dissatisfied with that Gina?"
Lewis feigned anger and said: "I will ask her to come over and apologize to you immediately."
"You misunderstood, she is very beautiful, but I already have a girlfriend."
Chen Dongcheng responded calmly.
Lewis nodded and did not continue the topic.
"Okay, we can start eating."
When we arrived at the restaurant, we saw a yacht costing US$160 million.
Needless to say how luxurious the restaurant is.
Chen Dongcheng also understood very well that at Lewis's age, he would probably not be able to spend all this money until his death.
Then why not enjoy more while you are alive?
There were a few rich people who arrived late. Looking at their sloppy steps, it was obvious that the bathing process just now was a bit long.
Everyone present was not surprised, Lewis smiled and picked up his glass of wine and made a speech.
"I'm very happy that Chen can attend our party.
I hope we will have more opportunities to cooperate in other fields in the future, cheers to friendship!”
"cheers!"
The wealthy people smiled at each other and sipped the red wine in their glasses.
The waiters served the dishes in an orderly manner, and a beautiful woman sang a song not far away.
While Lewis was cutting the steak, he asked casually: "Chen, where do you live?"
Some rich people pricked up their ears. This was an opportunity to learn the details of Chen Dongcheng.
"St. John's Wood Avenue."
Chen Dongcheng smiled and invited: "If you have time, you can come to my villa as a guest. I will ask my butler to prepare it in advance."
"Haha, I will definitely go if I have the chance."
Lewis smiled: "I like St. John's Wood very much. The rural atmosphere and urban prosperity are well combined."
Other wealthy people also echoed that the villas on St. John's Wood Avenue are not cheap.
Not to mention the unspoken rules of high society in London.
Without hiring more than ten servants and a senior housekeeper, you would be embarrassed to invite friends to your home.
"It's just a property worth more than 20 million pounds, not worth mentioning."
Compared to the Lewis superyacht, it really can't be compared.
If Tottenham performs well this year and the fans are satisfied, Chen Dongcheng will receive a very high reward.
The next step is nothing more than talking about international financial trends and discussing which companies have greater potential.
There are so many topics to talk about, and if you are not smart enough, you may not be able to keep up with the speed at which these rich people change topics.
Until dark, the yacht docked at the pier.
The wealthy people stepped off the yachts one after another, sat in Rolls-Royces, and disappeared at the pier.
The paparazzi waiting at the pier were constantly taking valuable pictures.
Lewis smiled again and asked: “Chen, do you really not consider bringing Gina back to the villa?
You know it’s not easy to spend a night alone.”
"Thank you for your kindness. I won't disturb you anymore. I wish you a good dream."
Chen Dongcheng turned around and left without mercy, leaving Gina a little disappointed.
Lewis handed the cigar to Gina and shook his head with a smile: "This kind of character is not something you can capture. Let's go."
Gina obediently followed Lewis into the car.
However, from time to time, she would secretly look at the Rolls-Royce that was gradually moving away, leaving only the taillights.
If given a choice, who would want to be with an old man who can't do that?
She dreams of finding a young and strong rich man. That is the ultimate dream of all women!
