The strongest winger

Chapter 791 Become the spokesperson of United Airlines

After the World Cup qualifiers, the team disbanded on the spot. Feng Xiaoting, Gao Lin, Hao Junmin and others have decided to take their families to travel to Mallorca, a resort. However, Ai Luo still has a lot of things to deal with in China, so he declined their kind invitation and devoted himself wholeheartedly to his career.

First, on June 6, Nike held a grand press conference for Aiello at the BJ's Hotel.

First, Nike Vice President Gordon Thompson announced that Aiello had successfully renewed his contract with Nike for three years. The annual endorsement fee was equivalent to about 1000 million euros, and the annual endorsement fee was increased by 20%. He also announced that the endorsement contract would include a fixed bonus for Aiello’s various personal honors each season.

When the content of the contract was announced, there was an uproar at the scene. The reporters present did some calculations. As long as Ai Luo continued to perform in the previous three seasons, he would get at least [-] euros from Nike in one season.

Then the head of Nike's R&D department announced the display of its own brand AI-9 football sneakers specially developed by Nike for Aiello.

This is a cross-age football sneaker, which is divided into game-specific and sports-specific, which is further divided into natural grass and artificial grass. The style of the sneakers is dazzling and practical, which is very in line with the consumption concept of young people today—the young people today love sports, respect heroes, have a strong sense of chasing stars, hope to be valued by others, active in thinking, rich in imagination and full of dreams.

With the appetizers in front, the marketing plan in the back will be even more popular.

I have to say that Nike has really played a big game of chess. Although it pays Aiello a salary of more than 2000 million euros a year, Nike will earn back multiple times from the potential hundreds of millions of Chinese consumers.

Relying on the potential income from commercial endorsements, Nike executives believe that with Aiello's huge influence in China, the investment will be quickly recovered, and this does not include income from other regions...

In the afternoon, accompanied by the vice president of Nike, Ai Luo took a group of Nike promotional photos.

This period of time was very dull and boring for Ai Luo. Fortunately, Li Shiyin and Li Ai were with him, otherwise he would really go crazy.

Of course, she will naturally receive various complaints from her real girlfriend Taylor.

Companies that need to renew their contracts next, such as: Yili, Haier, China Construction Bank, Ping An Insurance...

After these commercial activities are over, it is already the end of June.

Next Ai Luo has a particularly heavy task. Accompanied by his agent Li Shiyin and legal counsel Tan Xi, he will go to Dubai to discuss with the Burj Al Arab and the United Arab Emirates Group about sponsoring the construction of a professional football stadium, but the discussion is progressing very quickly.

The three of Ai Luo fully felt the straightforwardness of the local tyrants in Dubai, and they were so poor that they only had money left.

阿联酉航空集团决定出资1·8亿英镑，折合人民币约20亿人民币，将获得球场20年冠名权以及10年胸前广告。

A preliminary agreement can be reached. The biggest reason besides the huge potential of Aiello's football club is that the United Arab Airlines Group will sign Aiello's only global image spokesperson.

The initial agreement between the two parties is to sign a contract for five years, but the endorsement fee still needs to be negotiated slowly between UAE Airlines and Li Shiyin until an agreement is reached, and then a grand press conference will be held.

What surprised Ai Luo was that just 24 hours after he signed the letter of intent on behalf of Changsha Xingcheng Football Club and United Airlines, the club’s account received a deposit of 5000 million pounds as stated in the letter of intent, and the remaining 3000 million pounds will be transferred to the account after signing a formal contract.

Ai Luo naturally knows the meaning of the senior management of United Airlines, that is, he hopes that Ai Luo will reach an endorsement agreement with United Airlines as soon as possible and become the only global image spokesperson of United Airlines.

After three days of negotiations, United Arab Emirates once again showed its willingness to sign a contract with a total of 7000 million euros for four years, and has the priority to renew the contract.

Subsequently, the senior executives of United Arab Airlines held a grand press conference for Aiello at the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai. In addition to announcing the successful signing of Aiello as the only global image spokesperson of Ailuo Air, they also announced that they would sponsor the Chinese football club under Aiello to build a professional football field worth nearly [-] million pounds.

The first reaction of the global media who came to the scene was that the United Arab Airlines Group was crazy.

You must know that UAE sponsored Arsenal to build the stadium for 15 years and the naming rights were only worth 7000 million pounds, but today they sponsored a team that had just been established for less than half a year for nearly [-] million pounds, and also paid [-] million euros for four years to Aiello as an endorsement fee.

Even the Chinese journalists who came to the scene were stunned. Last fall, the Abu Dhabi consortium acquired Manchester City in a high-profile manner, spending all kinds of money. This summer, they swayed their checks to buy players, and now the Dubai consortium is also swaying large sums of money. Is this country really so poor that only money is left?

The next day, the global media that got the news tacitly reported on "Is this country really poor and only money left?" as the headline.

Compared with the degree of shock in other countries, the people in China are very excited, especially the people of Changsha, in the case of owning a modern professional football club, they will also have a modern football stadium in the near future, and according to the exposed designer's design drawings, the stadium will have 68000 seats, and it is very exciting to think about it...

While Aiello was pleasantly surprised by his efforts, he didn't know that there was a wave of professional football stadiums being built across the country.

Immediately afterwards, relevant media also broke the news that the Chinese XX Football Association may bid to host the 2018 or 2022 World Cup...

After everything in Dubai was settled, Ai Luo did not fly back to China with Li Shiyin, but flew to Spain.

But he is not going on vacation, but He Puqi, the new owner of Valencia, invites Ailuo to Valencia...

It is worth mentioning that during Aiello’s busy period, the European summer transfer window was full of smoke. Florentino, who had just taken over as the chairman of Real Madrid, fulfilled his promise to run for the election. He brought Kaka from the San Siro to the Bernabéu for 500 million euros, and then spent 4000 million euros to buy Spanish internationals Xavi Alonso and Arbeloa from Liverpool, and bought French star Benzema from Lyon for 500 million...

What disappointed Florentino was that he failed to bring in Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United, otherwise Real Madrid's signings would become the focus of the entire world football.

What comes in comes naturally, and players like Robben, Sneijder, and Huntelaar brought in during Calderon's administration were all purged.

In addition to Real Madrid's big moves in La Liga, rivals Barcelona are also not far behind. Gaeto'o introduced Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Inter Milan for 6800 million euros and will create a new frontcourt trident. However, only Aiello knows that this signing will become a rare case of failure in Barcelona's history.

Coach Guardiola has long made up his mind to train Messi to be the absolute core of the team, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a player with a strong personality. How could he endure Messi standing on his head?
During this month, mainstream European media are predicting which star will transfer, or which star will complete the contract renewal at a high price...

At this time, Chelsea received various quotations about Aiello and the ship management was also exposed. Many media joked: "When the star's worth is hovering in the tens of millions, Ai's lowest quotation has reached the level of [-] million yuan, and it is still calculated in pounds!"

Of course, at this time, some media sarcasm is inevitable, especially the Catalan media. They think that Ai Luo's worth is a bit inflated. From a competitive perspective, reaching 6000 million is already top-notch, and the rest is supported by the Chinese market behind him. In the long run, competitive football will be destroyed by money...

I have to say, the cap is really big.

All the Valencia fans thought that the Chinese bosses would spend a lot of money buying stars this summer. What they didn't expect was that the summer transfer window opened for a month without any big moves. Apart from cleaning up the veterans and high-salary and low-energy players in the team, they only brought in a few young players...

What a big disappointment.

In fact, the biggest reason why Valencia did not make any big moves was that General Manager Caboni was trying his best to make Aiello return to Valencia, but what made him helpless was that no matter how much the offer was made, Chelsea would directly reject it. In the end, he could only rely on the personal relationship between owner He Puqi and Aiello for discussion.

Because FIFA's relevant regulations do not allow clubs to privately contact players with contracts of more than one year, and Aiello and Chelsea still have a three-year contract, so they can only make a bad move.

To be honest, Ai Luo was a little helpless when he met He Puqi. Now he has fully integrated into Chelsea. Whether it is a fan or a teammate, or whether it is the owner Abramovich or the head coach Mourinho, they have a good relationship with each other.

Except for the terrible London weather...

It's not that Aiello hasn't thought about returning to Valencia, but time will make people change, and so will their mentality.

I don't know if He Puqi did it on purpose. On the day Ai Luo came to Valencia, the local media received news that their former hero met with the boss of Valencia.

Imaginative fans and reporters seem to have found a breakthrough. No wonder the transfer window has been open for a month without any action. It turns out that it is for the heavy introduction of Ai Luo!
That night, Aiello received phone calls from David Villa, David Silva, Albiol and others who were on vacation in the United States. During the conversation, Aiello also learned that his friends firmly believed that he would return to Valencia to fight together, and gave up the opportunity to join Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern and other big clubs...

And now Ai Luo also finds that he is becoming more and more incomprehensible to his friend He Puqi, who seems to be ordinary but hides a huge conspiracy.
