Dominate the midfield

Chapter 246 Chapter 246: The first sponsorship contract!

After a while, the home fans suddenly burst into applause, showing respect for Wang Rui's juggling pass!

Winning the applause of the home fans in an away game is unintentionally the highest reward for a player. Wang Rui has a bright smile on his face. It feels so good!
The eyes of the Birmingham players looking at Wang Rui began to change, with envy and respect.If you think that Wang Rui is only 19 years old, this is undoubtedly shocking. A 19-year-old player can win the respect of his opponents, which is a rare thing in world football.

The game quickly resumed. Whether it was the leading Wolves or Birmingham at home, they did not conservatively focus on defense. They wanted to give the fans a wonderful game.

However, in the following time, no one was able to change the score on the field. In the end, the Wolves defeated Birmingham [-]-[-] away and continued to sit firmly at the top of the standings.

Obviously, Wolves won away and put a lot of pressure on second-placed Burnley.At [-] o'clock in the evening, the match between Burnley and Derby County started. Both sides failed to seize the opportunity in the first half and shook hands with [-]-[-].

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. In the 11th minute of the second half, Burnley converted the pressure into motivation, took advantage of a counterattack opportunity, broke the deadlock on the field, and led [-]-[-].

Derby County, which was behind in the score, launched a fierce counterattack amidst the huge shouts of the home fans, and the shock wave after wave hit Burnley's goal.

In the No.208 minute of the second half, the Derby County forward dribbled the ball into the Burnley penalty area, and the Burnley central defender brought it down in a hurry.The referee whistled decisively and awarded Derby County a penalty.

Derby County took advantage of a penalty kick to equalize the score. In the end, the two sides shook hands one to one to make a draw. So far, Wolves' lead has been extended to four points, which finally made Ince breathe a sigh of relief.

After Wolverhampton's away victory over Birmingham, they returned to Wolverhampton that night to prepare for the upcoming UEFA Cup quarter-final first leg.

That night, when Wang Rui was taking care of his younger sister in the hospital, he received a call from his manager, Jason.Jason told him pleasantly that Pepsi Cola had come to discuss the advertising contract.

When Wang Rui heard this, his heart burst into ecstasy, he was in need of money now!

Jason also told him that he would come to Wolverhampton tomorrow morning to discuss the details of the contract with him.Wang Rui told his sister Wang Ting the good news, and wanted to let this family shrouded in gloom enjoy the sunshine.

"Brother, this is just the beginning, you will cooperate with more companies in the future!"

Wang Rui nodded and said, "In the future, when we have money, we won't be afraid of anything."

……

At eight o'clock the next morning, Aunt Mary came to the hospital on time to change shifts. After Wang Rui returned home, he made a cup of cereal to settle his breakfast.At nine o'clock in the morning, agent Jason arrived.

As Wang Rui continued to achieve success in the football field, Jason's attitude towards him changed significantly. He no longer treated him as a young man, and his words showed more respect.

Jason handed the two pieces of paper with the terms of the contract to Wang Rui, and said, "Look first, if you have any questions, I'll answer them. If you have any requests, let's discuss it. I will ask them this afternoon." come out."

Wang Rui nodded, and carefully looked at the terms of the contract.While drinking water, Jason looked at the living room. It was not the first time he had come here, and this time he always felt that there was something missing in the living room.

Then he shifted his gaze to Wang Rui, looking at that handsome face.

This face is born to be the face of a star!

A pair of sword eyebrows, full of determination, black eyes showing a sense of mystery, and a strong nose bridge gives a tough feeling...

Jason couldn't help but think of Wang Rui five years ago, and the genius in the Manchester United youth training camp... Five years have passed, and although there have been twists and turns, this genius has grown up.

Pepsi is a giant in the beverage industry in the world today. In order to attract the attention of young people, besides entertainment stars, most of them advertise for them are football stars.

But they are picky, and they are not long-established superstars, so it is difficult to get into their eyes.When Jason received a call from Pepsi, he couldn't believe his ears.

It wasn't until he met with a vice president of PepsiCo Europe that he confirmed that was the case.

The first question Jason asked had nothing to do with the contract: "Why are you looking for Wang? I remember that the players you worked with were all superstars, and Wang is not a superstar yet."

The vice president replied: "Do you know why we abandoned the previous principles and signed a cooperation intention with a player who has not yet been in the top league? It is because we are optimistic about his future!"

……

Wang Rui put the terms of the contract in his hands on the table, and Jason asked, "Tell me, do you have any questions?"

Wang Rui thought for a while and asked, "Why did they find me?"

Jason smiled lightly and said, "I also asked the same question, and they said, they are optimistic about your future. I think they are afraid that competitors will sign you first, so they will act first before your reputation is well established. "

Wang Rui accepted this reason. He didn't know how other people signed the contract with Pepsi, but the contract in his hand seemed to be full of sincerity.

This is not a simple advertising contract, but more like a cooperation contract. In addition to the advertising fee, there is also a valuable sponsorship fee of 400 million euros for four years!
For Wang Rui, this is a huge sum of money!
"It costs 100 million euros to shoot an advertisement, which is the same price as Lampard and others. There is no way to bargain for this item, but the sponsorship fee..."

Wang Rui raised his brows and looked at Jason who had stopped. Is this missing?
Jason nodded and said, "Lampard's annual sponsorship fee in their hands is 250 million. I think they gave 100 million less."

Everyone in the world says that football players are rich. Wang Rui didn't know much about it before. From the Pepsi contract, he peeped into the mystery of it. It turns out that the money of the stars comes from here!
Jason felt that 100 million was too little, and Lampard's 250 million was used as the standard.The current Wang Rui is not at the same level as Lampard in terms of reputation or achievements. From the perspective of ordinary people, 100 million has even surpassed Wang Rui's current worth.

But the contract is signed for four years, he is now on the rise, and his future value is immeasurable.

Jason looked at Wang Rui apologetically and said, "Although I still have five players in hand, this is the first time I have encountered such a contract, so... I don't have the negotiation skills in this area."

Wang Rui frowned slightly. He had already escaped from the ecstasy of last night. He looked at Jason and asked, "You said just now that they are optimistic about my future, and I believe this too. So what kind of future are they optimistic about my future?"

This question made people not know how to answer, Jason looked at Wang Rui suspiciously, what exactly are you trying to express?
"The future is a general term. Next year is the future, and the year after is also the future. The contract period is four years. That is to say, they think I will be worth 100 million in the next four years."

Wang Rui looked at Jason and said, "What height do you think I can reach in the next four years?"

Jason didn't know how to answer this question, Wang Rui continued: "Next year is the year of the World Cup, and I think that according to my current upward momentum, it is very likely that I will participate in the World Cup next year.

Now this England team has the most powerful midfielder in England history, and it is very likely to create success..."

Now there are many England fans and media appealing that Wang Rui should join the England team, especially after his long-distance raid in the Miners game, the appeal became even louder.

Although until now, he has not been called by England coach Fabio Capello, but he has strong confidence that with his growth, before the World Cup, England will have his place!
Jason's eyes became brighter, and he slapped his thigh and shouted, "Yes! Maybe that's why Pepsi has now signed a contract with us!"

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he seemed to be cheerful: "If you wait until the World Cup is over, your value will skyrocket at that time, and if Pepsi wants to sign us, it will have to compete fiercely with its opponents!"

Wang Rui looked at the excited Jason and said, "I heard that Messi signed a contract with them the year before last. You can find out how much their sponsorship fee is, but we have a reference."

……

That afternoon, Jason went to London to meet with the European vice president of PepsiCo. Jason only said a few words, and the matter was settled.

"Messi's sponsorship fee is 200 million, and Lampard's is 250 million. We don't want much, just the same as Messi. I know what you want to say, but you must know that British football is in the world football. position!"

If other people hear this, they will definitely look at him like an idiot. You don't want much, just like Messi?
God, Messi is the darling of the Nou Camp, but the future head of the family pushed by Barcelona!

Although Messi lost to Ronaldo last year and did not win the World Footballer of the Year, he is already the most powerful contender for the World Footballer of the Year.

The vice president didn't want to look at Jason, who was trying to be calm like an idiot. He was thinking of another thing: the amount of the contract between them and the players was originally kept secret, but there is nothing in this world that can always be kept secret.

"If you insist on a sponsorship fee of 100 million, we ask to change the contract period to two years, which means that our contract will expire after the World Cup is over."

"You said that you are optimistic about his future, and I also believe that he will be a blockbuster in the World Cup next year and become the world's top star. I think other companies will also cooperate with him very much..."

Jason's words revealed that if the cooperation is not happy this time, he will cooperate with Coca-Cola after the contract expires.After pondering for a long time, the vice president of Pepsi said with a smile: "Well, you convinced me!"

"Let's talk about the details now!"

Jason looked at the other party in surprise, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he thought this would be a tug of war, but who knew how the other party readily agreed.

This is not a tug of war, it is clearly a friendly cooperation.

After being surprised, Jason was very proud. In the eyes of Pepsi, Wang Rui's future has already become a player of the same level as the world-famous Messi!

"We have been observing Wang for a year, and what made us make up our minds was the long-distance raid between the Wolves and the miners... Wang has amazing strength and value."

"I might as well make it clear that he definitely doesn't have this value now. The reason why we agree to your request is that I hope we can cooperate for a long time."

Others have done their work, and when it comes to this, Jason nodded quickly and said, "That's for sure!"
