Legendary godfather of green grass

To be honest, this was a bit beyond Tong Yi's expectations!

Because in the memory of Tong Yi's descendants, New Balance began to enter the football world in 2015. They reached a cooperation with Liverpool, which was signed by their subsidiary, and became Liverpool's new jersey sponsor, announcing their official entry into the football circle.

Unexpectedly, now they are entering the football circle two years ahead of schedule.

Very surprised.

And still cooperate with their Crystal Palace, Tong Yi is even more surprised.

New Balance offered them £450 million a year for Crystal Palace, which is relatively high, and it is currently the highest bid for jersey sponsors.

However, this is obviously still not comparable to the sponsorship fees offered by their subsidiary Warrior Sports to Liverpool.Last year, Warriors Sports and Liverpool signed a 6-year sponsorship contract with a total value of 1.5 million pounds. Liverpool will receive 2500 million pounds in sponsorship fees every year.

Liverpool is really too rich!

In addition to this, Liverpool can also get 2500 million jersey chest advertising sponsorship from Standard Chartered Bank every year.

Just like this, Liverpool can earn 5000 million pounds a year. Adding in the revenue from TV broadcasting, sales of jerseys, sales of sports equipment around the team, and European war bonuses, etc., Liverpool can still earn a considerable income a year. of.

Of course, Liverpool is not as good as Chelsea now.

Chelsea are said to have signed a £3300million-a-year shirt sponsorship deal with Adidas.

And Manchester United even got an annual jersey sponsorship of 4500 million pounds.

These Premier League teams are all about to take off.

However, for now, New Balance's offer is still good for Crystal Palace, and even for those mid-to-lower Premier League teams, it can be regarded as very generous.

However, Tong Yi still felt that the price was a little bit low.

It can be even higher!

After all, their Crystal Palace is a team from the London metropolis, and they still need to qualify for the European competition in the new season. What's more, their head coach Tong Yi has an infinitely huge Chinese market behind them. All factors combined, this influence is still very strong Big, this is by no means comparable to the average Premier League team.

Therefore, Tong Yi thinks it is reasonable for Crystal Palace to take a jersey sponsorship of about 700 million pounds a year.

Tong Yi said directly to Louisa: "I think the current sponsorship value of our Crystal Palace should be around 700 million pounds per year. Now let's not rush to draw conclusions. Let New Balance, Li Ning, JustSport and Adidas compete first. I think the new sponsorship fee should be higher."

Louisa nodded slightly, and said: "I think so too, we can let them dry first, we are not the ones who are in a hurry now!"

Both Baker and Tong Yi nodded slightly to express their agreement.

Tong Yi also said: "Even if it's settled, I don't think we should sign a long-term contract with them. The increase in jersey sponsorship is too amazing, almost a big step every year. Signing for too long is not good for our team. Saying it is not beneficial!"

Louisa nodded and said: "Yes! I have also investigated this thing in detail recently. In the past ten years, the increase in sponsorship fees for this jersey is really amazing. From the initial tens of millions to now, it has already increased. It has reached 7000 million a year. I even estimate that the jersey sponsorship will not be long before the giants can reach [-] million pounds per year!"

hiss!

Hearing this, Baker gasped and was shocked.

Even he still has a feeling that he is listening to the scriptures.

The cost of jersey sponsorship alone is [-] million pounds a year?This is too scary!can not imagine.

This is something he never dared to think about in Munich 1860 before, and now he feels that his three views have been refreshed.

Tong Yi, on the other hand, is very good at Lu Yisha in the bureau. This woman's business vision and forward-looking are very prominent, very excellent.No wonder Martina believes in her so much, and trusts her, amazing.

Tong Yi nodded slightly and said, "That's for sure. The market is so crazy now!"

Seeing that Tong Yi recognized her, Louisa was also very happy, and couldn't help but look at Tong Yi's words more.

Louisa immediately said: "However, I think it is difficult for us to sign a short-term contract on good terms. After all, the group companies on the opposite side are not fools, and they are also very aware of the current market trend. Obviously, they will insist on signing the contract." Long term."

Tong Yi was able to do it immediately, and then said: "So talk slowly! I think the best thing is to sign for three years, and there should still be room for manipulation in three years."

Louisa pondered for a while, then nodded slightly, and said, "Well, indeed, there is room for manipulation. But when the time comes, the sponsorship fee should be compromised!"

Tong Yi immediately nodded and said: "That's for sure! But you should deal with the specific matters. I'm just offering some suggestions here. It's up to you to decide what to do. After all, this is your main responsibility. , I hope you will think carefully about it carefully."

Of course Louisa refused, she nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of it here. If it doesn't work, I can discuss it with Martina!"

Tong Yi nodded slightly, indicating yes.

Baker had nothing to say.

He didn't understand these things at all, and he didn't intervene much. Now he can handle the logistics and the relationship between the team and the fans.He doesn't participate in other things.

Okay, so here, the high-level meeting at the end of the season of the Crystal Palace Club is basically over here.

Louisa looked at Tong Yi and asked, "David, what are your plans next? It's already a holiday!"

Baker, who was planning to leave, suddenly sat down again when he heard this, and looked at the two people in front of him.

What are you guys doing here?

Don't forget, Tong Yi belongs to my niece Martina!

Tong Yi looked at Louisa and said, "It's a vacation, I don't have any special arrangements, just rest! But I plan to go to Huaxia with Martina, so I won't go back to my hometown!"

After coming to England, there is no winter break in winter, and it is time for Tong Yi to return to China to spend the New Year with his parents.

So, now that he finally has a vacation, he is going to go back to China to accompany his parents.

Baker was very satisfied and nodded.

Louisa also nodded, and said: "This is very good! When you come back from Huaxia in a hurry, you should bring us some gifts from Huaxia. To be honest, I am still very curious about Huaxia!"

Baker also said with a smile on his face: "It should be, I am also full of curiosity about Huaxia."

Tong Yi smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring you gifts when the time comes."

Louisa was satisfied with this.

Louisa also asked: "So when are you going to come back? When will the coaching staff gather before the new season? When will the players gather?"

Baker also looked at Tong Yi with great concern.

Tong Yi pondered for a while, and then said: "The coaching staff will temporarily set the situation in mid-June, and the players will set it at the end of June, and officially start the preparations for the beginning of the season in July!"

Louisa nodded slightly to show that she understood, and she said, "Okay, the club will help you get ready when the time comes."

Baker also immediately said: "Well, David, don't worry, the logistics side will definitely be in place by then!"

Tong Yi immediately expressed his thanks to the two of them.

Then Tong Yi said goodbye to these two directly, Tong Yi was really planning to leave England and go to Italy.

Tong Yi plans to spend a period of time with Martina in Italy, and then fly back to China to stay with his parents for a while.Then come back to deal with team transfers and signings.

At this time, Tong Yi had already let the players go.

When letting these players go, Tong Yi warned the Crystal Palace players that if anyone's weight exceeded the standard this summer, he would never show mercy.

The players of Crystal Palace said they knew about it one after another, which made Tong Yi very satisfied.

Louisa and Baker immediately waved goodbye to Tong Yi.

Tong Yi went straight home to pack his things and was ready to fly to Italy.

But at this time, Tong Yi received a call from Manchester United coach Ferguson.

Seeing that it was Ferguson who called, Tong Yi was a little scared. Could this be poaching again?I have given up Boracier to you!Don't you wear a sheep wool, Sir Ferguson.

After getting through the phone, Tong Yicai realized that he had misunderstood Sir Alex Ferguson.

This time Sir Alex Ferguson really didn't come to poach the wall.

Ferguson said: "David, I know that your club's games this season are completely over. You should be fine, right? Recently!"

Tong Yi thought for a while, and then said: "I really don't have anything to do now, I have already started my vacation. I plan to go to Italy soon!"

Ferguson knows Tong Yi's love life, and also knows that Tong Yi's girlfriend Martina is in Italy.

Hearing what Tong Yi said, Ferguson instantly understood.

Ferguson immediately said: "Although I can't disturb your two-person world, I still have to be hard-hearted and waste your time."

Tong Yi frowned slightly, and asked, "What's the matter, Sir Ferguson?"

Ferguson immediately said: "You know, after the end of this season, I will resign and retire. Now there are two games left in the Premier League, which should be the last two games of my career. The game is an away game, just right!"

It's quite big here, and Tong Yi suddenly understood what Ferguson was going to say.

Tong Yi thought for a while, before he got ahead of Ferguson, he said, "Sir Ferguson, don't worry, I have time, I will go to watch these two games live."

Ferguson was taken aback for a moment, then the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

This Tong Yi is really smart, he didn't say it clearly, this guy already knew what he was going to do?sharp!

Yes, Ferguson made this call to invite Tong Yi to watch the last two games of his coaching career. This is his farewell ceremony for Ferguson.

Tong Yi is a young coach he is very optimistic about and admires, and he still hopes that Tong Yi can appear in his farewell ceremony.

Ferguson smiled and said, "You really are a clever little ghost! But thank you, welcome to the scene."

Tong Yi immediately said: "You are too polite!"

Tong Yi exchanged pleasantries with Ferguson for a while, and then hung up the phone.

To be honest, Tong Yi is really going to attend Ferguson's farewell ceremony, which should be very meaningful.

Then, he immediately called Martina and said that he would be there later.

After Martina learned the whole story, she told Tong Yi not to worry, she flew over to attend Ferguson's retirement ceremony with Tong Yi, and then they went to the world of two.

Tong Yi was really moved, with tears in his eyes!

With a wife like this, what can a husband ask for?
