i want to be king

Chapter 119 Su, I want to hold your thick thighs tight

In the living room of the apartment, Su Dong looked at Jorge Mendes opposite him with some surprise.

At this moment, the Portuguese agent was smiling and seemed to be in a pretty good mood.

On the coffee table between the two of them, there were several business cards and letters of intent for cooperation. They came from different companies and brands, but they all had one purpose, which was to sign a contract with Su Dong.

Simply put, it is sponsorship.

This is not a new vocabulary. Su Dong has heard more than once about the NBA sponsorship activities in the United States and the money-absorbing situation of Beckham in the Premier League. Even the jersey sponsorship of every team is the main source of income, including Sporting Lisbon.

Currently, Sporting Lisbon's jersey sponsor is the American sports brand Reebok.

Among the few business cards in front of Su Dong, one belonged to the president of Reebok Europe.

But apart from Reebok, Adidas and Puma from Germany, Umbro from the United Kingdom, and Nike from the United States are all very interested in Sudong, and this is only in the sports field, and there are other industry brands, such as beverages and credit cards.

"You know, Reebok is a sponsor of Sporting Lisbon, they are very happy to see you playing in their football boots, and they have been paying close attention to your performance. Now, they feel that the time is right and they want to further cooperate."

Jorge Mendes introduced the current situation to Su Dong, full of surprises in his heart.

He didn't even think that Su Dong had such amazing commercial value.

Even if he hadn't sat down with executives from brands like Reebok, Nike and Adidas, he wouldn't have discovered this, so that he had seriously underestimated the value of Su Dong.

"Whether it's Reebok, Nike or Adidas, they are all very optimistic about you. They believe that football has a fan market of hundreds of millions of people in China. Especially after China entered the World Cup finals, the whole country is full of joy. Adidas has always been an important partner of Chinese football."

"There is also the Asian region. Judging from the current situation, you are the best performer among Chinese overseas players, and you are also the best prospect among Asian overseas players. Any sports brand that is optimistic about Asia, especially the huge market of China, will attach great importance to you, so they are very sincere."

Su Dong nodded, he understood the situation, but he still didn't know how to choose.

He really doesn't know anything about commercial sponsorship.

"It's like this. I got a general idea through our partners in the United States. Nike is currently negotiating a contract with NBA rookie James. The contract is expected to be around 9000 million U.S. dollars in seven years. Of course, at present, the Chinese market is not as good as the American market, but it has great potential."

"It is revealed that Reebok is in contact with the Chinese NBA star Yao Juren, and the sponsorship fee is likely to reach 1000 million US dollars per year, which shows that Reebok attaches great importance to and is optimistic about the Chinese market."

Su Dong was no stranger to Giant Yao.

"For the time being, I don't think I'm comparable to Juren Yao. He is an idol of the people and the No. [-] pick in the NBA draft."

"No, no, Su, you're wrong." Mendes shook his head and reminded: "You have to know that at present, your results are indeed not as good as Yao Juju, but you have to know that the market position and influence of football are much higher than that of basketball, because football is the world's largest sport."

"Of course, I don't mean to say that we can ask for the same sponsorship fee as Giant Yao. You are still young, and we will enter the four major leagues next. I don't think we need to sign a long-term contract that can take six or seven years."

"what do you mean……"

"Three years, the sponsorship fee can be negotiated. If you want a long-term contract of six or seven years, yes, we will ask for a higher sponsorship fee, because we have to consider how far your development prospects can reach during this period of time."

Su Dong is only now, six or seven years later, he will only be 25 years old at most.

But as Mendes said, long-term contracts have the benefits of long-term contracts, but short-term contracts also have the advantages of short-term contracts.

"In addition, we also take into account the other party's brand advantages. For brands with great influence on a global scale, such as Nike and Adidas, we can make some concessions in terms of sponsorship fees, because we can use their platforms and influence, including our own, to improve commercial value."

"For relatively weaker brands such as Reebok and Umbro, we should demand higher sponsorship fees, because they are indeed inferior to Nike and Adidas in terms of packaging players."

When Mendes said this, Su Dong understood a little bit.

"Then how much money do you think is appropriate?" Su Dong asked with concern.

He really didn't think about sponsorship fees before, and he didn't know how much he should ask for.

"150 million euros to 200 million euros." Mendes laughed.

Su Dong was a little surprised, not only him, but also Ronnie, who was sitting nearby and eavesdropping, was also very surprised.

Mendes was very satisfied with the reaction of the two boys, "I said, every year!"

"Every year?" Ronnie lost his voice, "Is it okay? So high?"

Su Dong also had some doubts.

His current monthly salary is only 12 euros, and it is only 15 euros a year. Plus other bonuses, the full budget is between 20 and 150 euros. Now a sneaker sponsorship contract costs 200 million to [-] million euros?

This is equivalent to ten times his annual salary.

"I have the confidence to talk down." Mendes said confidently.

Seeing his expression, Su Dong also knew that he must have studied and investigated in detail.

"Jorge, I find you are too biased." Ronnie muttered sourly from the side.

"Eccentric?" Mendes was a little stunned, "How do you say?"

"Look, the contract you gave to Sura is worth 150 million euros. How about giving it to me? Reebok only pays me that much every year, almost nothing, okay?" Ronnie felt very uncomfortable and wanted to cry.

There is no harm without comparison, he is too miserable!
After hearing this, Mendes shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Ronnie, you have to know, what is the total population of Portugal?"

"1000."

"What about China?"

"Uh..." Ronnie didn't know, so he could only look at Su Dong for help.

"14 billion."

"Ten... 14 billion?" Ronnie jumped up again.

What is that concept?
"Now do you understand? A huge market of 14 billion or a Portuguese market of 1000 million, which one do you think is bigger? Moreover, there are many Portuguese stars, the biggest ones are Figo and Rui Costa, but what about China? The player with the best development and the greatest potential is Su Dong."

When Mendes said this, Su Dong himself felt a little embarrassed.

It's not that he is capable, but that the motherland is too strong and the market is too big.

After Ronnie blinked his lips playfully, he looked at Su Dong sadly, "Su, anyway, I'm holding your thick thigh tightly. From now on, you have to cover me, and I'll mess with you."

After finishing speaking, he really wanted Xiaoniao to lean closer, but Su Dong pushed him away with a smile.

It has to be said that the news brought by Mendes really surprised Su Dong.

Before this, he had never imagined that he would have such amazing commercial value.

This is the case now, what about the future?

"Ronnie, you don't need to underestimate yourself. Although the Portuguese market is small, as long as you continue to work hard and become famous in the four major leagues, the commercial value will naturally follow."

"Really?" Ronnie seemed to see the light.

Everyone knows that since he was a child, his first goal in playing football is to win, and then money.

So far, he hasn't seen an opportunity to fulfill his family's wishes because he hasn't earned enough money.

"Actually, the UEFA Cup is a very good platform. As far as I know, there are already many teams from the four major leagues paying attention to you and Quaresma. I believe that as long as you continue to work hard, you will definitely be able to enter the four major leagues within two years."

Mendes' words made both Su Dong and Ronnie feel a surge of enthusiasm.

The four major leagues are the stage that all professional players aspire to be on.

"Next, I plan to talk to Aurelio again."

Su Dong and Ronnie looked at each other and became concerned.

"How to say?"

"As far as I know, Boloni will not give up on Nikulei no matter what, but with Sudong's current performance, he can completely replace Nikulei in the starting lineup. However, his point of view is not completely unreasonable. You are right. The two-line battle is too intense for you, which is not a good thing."

Nuno Cruz also mentioned this to Su Dong, that is, if he is too tired to fight, it is easy to cause muscle overstrain, which may leave hidden dangers, which is not good for his future development.

Many players who became famous as teenagers participated in too many games when they were young, and their muscles were overstrained, so that they were often injured and plagued by injuries as adults.

Both Su Dong and 17-year-old Ronnie must pay attention to this problem.

"Since this is the case, I am thinking, why not just focus on the UEFA Cup and strive to play more UEFA Cups. As for the Portuguese Super League this season, to be honest, I personally think that Mourinho's Porto is stronger than Sporting Lisbon."

Su Dong understood what Mendez meant.

The advantage of playing in the UEFA Cup is very obvious, that is, let more teams from the four major leagues see them.

The European competition is the stage that most tests the strength of the players. It is also a test of the players' ability to face different styles and teams in different leagues. This is more valuable than the Portuguese Super League.

If you want to land in the four major leagues, the European War is the best platform.

"Will Aurelio agree?" Ronnie asked with concern.

If he can choose, he also wants to go to the four major leagues instead of staying in the Portuguese Super League.

Even the mid-range teams going to the four major leagues are more promising than the Portuguese Super League.

"Don't worry, on this point, the interests of Sporting Lisbon are the same as ours. They wish to sell a Ugo Viana every year. Do you think he will agree?" Mendes smiled inscrutably.

Speaking of Ugo Viana, Su Dong was secretly vigilant.

This Rui Costa II, who shined in the Portuguese Super League last season, has lost himself in Newcastle now.

Except for the first round of the Premier League against West Ham United, the rest of the games this season are basically coming off the bench in garbage time.

When calling Sudong several times, Ugo Viana was very distressed and depressed.

Sometimes, it is not necessarily a good thing to land on a rich team too early.
