Chapter 29 The Temptation of Signing with Nike and the Golden Boy Award

Ended the league with Roma, Inter Milan has the last game left in this devil schedule, which is the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage at home with Eindhoven three days later.

During such a tiring time, Jingxuan still didn't forget to take a break from his busy schedule and flew to London, where there was already a sneaker sponsor contacted by Wang Kai waiting for him.

As soon as he got off the plane, Jingxuan saw Wang Kai who had been waiting in the VIP passage for a long time.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two got into the luxury car specially come to pick up Jingxuan.

Wang Kai has been busy with the affairs of the economic company recently,
His goal is naturally to make the company bigger so that more Chinese players can play in Europe in the future.

After all, with a superb example like Jingxuan in front, I am not afraid that the signboard will not sound.

The two sat in the car and began to chat about the signing. After all, this was the second time Nike came to the door, and the offer they made was much more sincere than it was a few months ago.

"Jingxuan, I have to remind you that no matter how tempting Nike's negotiators say later, don't rush to express your opinion and let the company and Inter Milan representatives negotiate with them."

Jingxuan nodded. As for business matters, he, a stunned young man who hadn't even graduated from a university, naturally had no right to speak.

Professional things still have to be done by professional people.

"Jingxuan, the contract amount offered by Nike this time is quite attractive, but it's a pity that you transferred half of the portrait rights to the Inter Milan club.

With your current performance, Inter Milan will definitely earn a lot of money. To be honest, you have lost money. "

Seeing Wang Kai's heartbroken reaction, to be honest, Jingxuan didn't pay much attention to this matter, after all, it was his own decision at the beginning.

As an ordinary member of the club, it is very common to transfer portrait rights to the club. Of course, this is for players with average commercial value.

But when he signed with Inter Milan, no one could guarantee that Jingxuan's future commercial value would become the world's number one.

When the future is uncertain, transfer half of the portrait rights to the club in exchange for a high annual salary and signing fee,
For young players like Jingxuan, it is a conservative and safe approach, so there is no need to regret it now.

"Uncle Wang, let's not talk about the past. Now I can sign a big contract with Nike, and I am very satisfied."

Now that Jingxuan had said so, Wang Kai couldn't say anything more, and the car quickly arrived at the agreed signing place.

This time Nike attached great importance to it and sent four signing representatives. After more than two hours of bargaining, the contract was finally finalized.

Nike is willing to provide Jingxuan with a six-year endorsement contract with a total value of about 2 million US dollars.

Originally, Nike intended to buy the remaining 50% of Jingxuan's portrait rights at a high price, but Jingxuan firmly disagreed, so the matter had to be abandoned.

After signing the contract, Jingxuan will receive a series of sneakers tailored for him by Nike, as well as various other sports equipment.

Nike's vision is of course to build a global sub-brand similar to "Jordan" with Jingxuan as the core.

But whether Jingxuan can satisfy them is unknown.

After all, a 17-year-old young player, even though he is very popular now, his future development trajectory is still full of uncertainties.
Therefore, for the sake of prudence, Nike did not sign a lifetime contract with Jingxuan.

That night, Jingxuan, who was happy with everyone, flew back to Milan with the staff of the Inter Milan club.

For the Inter Club, Jingxuan is now a cash cow.

Let's not talk about how much Inter Milan's jersey sales have increased because of Jingxuan's joining.

Just by signing the Nike contract this time, the Inter Milan Club, which owns half of Jingxuan's portrait rights, can share half of Jingxuan's endorsement profits.

Moreover, the commercial income tax ratios of clubs and individuals are not the same.

On the night of returning to Milan, Inter Milan chairman Moratti hosted a banquet for Jingxuan.

This is the first time in a long time that Jingxuan has had close contact with the chairman of Inter Milan alone.

After all, the chairman of the general club will not personally participate in such a matter as signing a contract.

"Jing, don't be nervous, the person who was so nervous when I ate alone last time was named Ronaldo Luis Nazario da Lima."

Seeing Chairman Moratti's wrinkled face bursting into smiles, Jingxuan certainly knew that the person he was talking about was his idol Da Luo.

Chairman Moratti said this to Jingxuan, naturally hoping that he can become the next Ronaldo and lead Inter Milan to achieve glory.

"Mr. Chairman, thank you for your praise, but I am still far from Ronaldo."

Moratti smiled slightly, and the experienced Moratti naturally understood the humility of the oriental people, but what he said was not just to encourage, but to really see some signs.

"Some of your dribbling moves are very similar to him back then, especially the ability to continuously disguise under high-speed ball possession."

Of course, Jingxuan understood what Moratti was referring to. To be honest, if it wasn't for the transformation of the Aspirations football system, his physical coordination ability would not have reached this level.

"Okay, don't put too much pressure on it, as long as the young players work hard. By the way, I think this year's Golden Boy Award should belong to you."

"Golden Boy Award?"

Jingxuan asked back, to be honest, he didn't care about this award that was established in recent years.

"Yes, the Golden Boy Award is awarded to young players under the age of 21, and basically no one will even win."

It was only then that Jingxuan remembered that when signing the contract during the day, there was indeed a bonus clause in the contract, which included the bonus for winning the European Golden Boy Award.

"Mr. Chairman, if I win the Golden Boy Award, the club will also get the corresponding bonus."

"Haha, that goes without saying! But today I am here to promise you that if you win this year's European Golden Boy Award, all the bonuses from Nike will belong to you personally."

Jingxuan reckoned that the bonus was about 200 million US dollars, which was indeed a considerable amount of income.

"Mr. Chairman, you are very kind."

"It's nothing, so you have to perform well. There is still more than a month before the Golden Boy Awards. This year's favorites include Aguero from Atletico Madrid. I hope you can beat him."

"I will definitely try my best!"

After the dinner with Chairman Moratti, Jingxuan returned home, her parents were not at home, so Jingxuan lay on the bed bored and daydreaming after taking a shower.

On a sudden whim, he took out the purple disc from the drawer and turned on the system.

Today, due to the special situation, he didn't have time to "enjoy" his special recipe, and he didn't know if it would affect his competitive state.

Turning on the system and browsing casually, Jingxuan suddenly clicked on the "World Information" menu bar that had never been entered before.

"It actually contains all the player information registered with the Football Association from all over the world, especially the ability value information."

The information provided by the Aspirations football system reminded Jingxuan of the live football and FIFA games he played before, but the data in the system should be closer to the real situation.

Jingxuan flipped through and found the young Argentine player named Aguero.

"Born in 1988, height 1.72"

Jingxuan carefully looked at his data value and sighed:
"He is indeed a genius, and his potential does not seem to be inferior to that of his compatriot Lionel Messi."

Jingxuan understands that if he can beat him to win the Golden Boy Award, it will at least prove that he is the strongest player in the world among players under the age of 20.
