Chapter 217 An Awesome Person Doesn't Need An Explanation

"Master Huan!"

Don Blaustein has been staying in the hotel for the past few days, waiting for news from Yang Huan.

The headquarters has been urging. After all, Southampton is too popular now, and I am afraid that someone will snatch him first and cut him off.

There is too much pressure on me.

Today, as soon as I received a call from Nicola Cortes saying that Master Huan wanted to see him, I immediately went straight to St. Mary's Stadium from the Grand Harbor Hotel.

He still ran over!
Seeing Don Blaustein's panting appearance, Yang Huan couldn't help laughing.

"Come on, Don, sit down and say, don't worry, have a cup of tea first."

As he said that, Yang Huan personally delivered a cup of Tieguanyin that he had just brewed.

As soon as Don Blaustein sat down, he was in a hurry to speak before he was out of breath.

"Don't talk about it, just sit down and enjoy the good tea I brought from China."

As a last resort, no matter how anxious Don Blaustein is, he has to obey, right?

"I'm really sorry. I made a special trip to France to negotiate a sponsorship these days, so I kept you waiting." Yang Huan explained casually with a smile.

"Sponsorship?" Don Blaustein's eyelids twitched, he was allergic to the term.

"It's a coincidence that I'm still walking with you."

"Huh?" Don Blaustein's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Could it be that someone really took the lead?

But French wine is famous, but I have never heard of French beer being able to sponsor a football team.

"Master Huan, can you explain more clearly?" Don Blaustein asked worriedly.

"It's the Château Clarion in Bordeaux, France who decided to sponsor our Southampton cuff ad. The sponsorship fee is 3000 million pounds!" Yang said joyfully.

"Three... 3000 million pounds?" Don Blaustein really couldn't sit still.

Is it just a cuff ad?
How is this possible?
Even giants like Barcelona and Real Madrid cannot do this.

Unless the other party's brain is showing off!

"Master Huan, stop joking." Don Blaustein said with a wry smile.

Yang Huan also chuckled, believe it or not, I won't explain anyway.

"Don, I know what you mean. Heineken sponsored Southampton. We signed it before, and I will honor the promise. But, frankly, I'm afraid I have to mention the price again."

When the contract was signed last year, Southampton was in a low-level league, and they didn't make much of it.

At that time, £300 million in sponsorship was considered quite high.

But the problem is that now Southampton is the FA Cup champion, and next season they will play in the Europa League. It is unreasonable not to increase the price.

"I can understand!" Don Blaustein is also a person who understands, and has long been prepared.

"Our head office has decided to increase the sponsorship fee of Southampton to 500 million pounds, but we hope that Southampton will cooperate with our activities in the UK for free at least twice a year, as well as authorize the portraits of our clubs and stars."

"It's reasonable!" Yang Huan nodded and agreed on the spot.

Signed for Heineken for £500 million, pretty good deal.

Manchester United's beer sponsor Budweiser spends £600 million a year on sponsorship.

If you look at it purely from this point of view, Southampton's deal is too cost-effective.

But it was signed ten years ago. It is said that the contract will be renewed now, and the estimate will be greatly increased.

Southampton's negotiations, in fact, do not have much difference, nor is it the purpose of Don Blaustein's trip.

"Master Huan, I heard that you plan to shoot a new MV for Uncle Bird and Lin Yuner?"

Yang Huan nodded, "Yes."

"Is there any chance of cooperation?" Don Blaustein asked with concern.

"Specifically?" Yang Huan asked.

"Just like last time, we placed advertisements in the MV, and arranged for Uncle Psy and Lin Yuner to shoot our promotional videos and advertisements, as well as display our Heineken beer in some other concerts or events."

This set has benefited a lot from past cooperation.

Among other things, Uncle Psy's performance in Times Square in New York City, he drank several bottles of Heineken beer on the spot, which made Heineken the focus of media attention the next day, and the profit was not ordinary.

"Yes!" Yang Huan nodded.

Anyway, he shot the MV. Whether it is possible to place an advertisement, he will definitely do it.

Don Blaustein was a little taken aback, this Young Master Huan is too easy to talk this time, right?
Just agree?

Didn't ask the price?
He still remembers the last time Yang Huan deliberately arranged for him to play against Greg from Budweiser.

But just when he was astonished and curious, Yang Huan showed his true colors.

"I heard that you recently sponsored the Hollywood blockbuster Zero Seven?"

Don Blaustein was a little stunned, you know this?
He had to admit that Yang Huan was really good at intelligence gathering.

Heineken and [-] reached a cooperation agreement, which was finalized more than half a month ago.

This is also a package of cooperation plans.

Previously, in the [-] movie, James Bond always drank a martini, but this time it was replaced by Heineken beer.

To this end, Heineken paid 5000 million U.S. dollars, which translates into a cost of more than 3000 million pounds.

The purpose is not only to place the ad for a few seconds in the movie, but also to obtain the portrait authorization of [-], and two years later, after [-] is released around the world, Heineken will cooperate with the promotion of the movie.

For example, before the movie is released, they will get some exclusive film clips, edited into commercials, star Daniel Craig promises to shoot commercials for them, but Heineken needs to pay extra performance fees.

This set of plans is similar to the sponsorship that Heineken signed with Uncle Piao before.

But the value is much worse.

After all, he is Zero Zero Seven!

But now, Uncle Psy and Lin Yuner are quite famous.

Needless to say, Uncle Psy, Lin Yuner's song "Callmemaybe" topped the US Billboard chart for ten consecutive weeks, becoming the hottest champion single in recent years, and followed it with "Iknewyouwere trouble", which broke into the top ten of the Billboard in the first week, ranking fifth, and it was also very popular.

Now you want to sign these two superstars in one go, without any blood, is it justified?

"I know that Young Master Huan likes to be straightforward, so I'll say it directly. We are very sincere to continue to cooperate with you. The condition is still in accordance with the previous cooperation terms. We are willing to sign this cooperation plan with 2000 million pounds. What do you think?" Don Blaustein showed full sincerity.

£2000?
It is 700 million pounds higher than when Uncle Psy was signed.

Yang Huan thought for a while, then shook his head, "Low."

But he didn't explain why it was low, or what his own psychological price was.

Awesome people don't need explanations.

To cooperate, OK, you guess!

If you are satisfied, sign it, if you are not satisfied, get out!

Don Blaustein didn't expect that the price of 2000 million pounds would not satisfy this young master Huan.

But fortunately, he was already prepared.

"Master Huan, I'm sure you've heard that Budweiser recently signed an American pop singer, Justin Bieber. It is said that the fee has reached 500 million pounds. For this reason, they will also place an advertisement in Justin Bieber's MV and give you a gift."

Yang Huan had never heard of this news, "And then?"

From a certain point of view, in terms of personal influence, neither Uncle Psy nor Yoona Lin can compare with Justin Bieber.

Therefore, the advertising cost of this darling of the American entertainment industry is naturally higher.

"Maybe we can do this. If your MV can beat Justin Bieber's new single on the YouTube and Billboard charts this time, then we will add another 500 million pounds!"

This is also the highest bargaining chip Heineken can offer.

Yang Huan thought for a while, "It's interesting!"

He is still very interested in such terms.

Justin Bieber, this is America's hottest idol.

If he can be suppressed, it will also establish the status of Uncle Bird and Lin Yuner.

He is happy to accept such a challenge.

Charlene Lahiri sat in the office of the newspaper.

Although editor-in-chief Lewis granted her unlimited leave, she came to work early.

The kidnapping really frightened her, and she was still in shock, but she still wanted to work.

Alone at home, alone, it is easier to think wildly, and it is easier to have fear.

Sitting in the office, watching the colleagues in the editorial department are busy, but she can only sit here, quite ashamed.

Just when she was about to go out and find something to do, a text message came from her cell phone.

This is a press release from Southampton to a familiar newspaper.

Yang Huan privately sent it to her in advance, clearly to let her prepare early.

Seeing it, Charlene Lahiri was shocked.

A £3000 million sponsorship fee?
God, how is this possible?
Also, what is the origin of that winery called Caron Family?
How could they afford such a high sponsorship fee?
More importantly, is Southampton worth the high price tag?

All thoughts flashed through Charlene Lahiri's mind.

In an instant, she has put the shadow of being kidnapped behind her, and she has returned to her previous identity as a shrewd and capable beautiful reporter.

Everyone in the editorial department is busy preparing the manuscript for tomorrow morning.

The Southern Echo has been the best-selling paper in the area around Southampton this past year.

It's just that recently, their sales have not been as good as before.

The reason is simple, they have always been able to get first-hand inside information about Southampton before.

But recently, Charlene Lahiri has been in a slump, and the entire Southern Echo has also fallen into a slump.

With a bang, the originally noisy editorial department fell silent for an instant.

Everyone is familiar with this voice.

Immediately, they all turned their heads to the side, and saw Charlene Lahiri rolled up her sleeves, holding a stack of A4 papers in her hand, and looked at everyone.

She is still the same as before, beautiful and incomparable.

More importantly, everyone felt it from her face and body.

She has come back!

She has come out of the shadows and is really back!

"Quick, I just received news that Southampton has signed a sponsorship of 3000 million pounds!"

When Charlene Lahiri said this, the audience was in an uproar.

"3000 million pounds? How is that possible?"

"Manchester United are not so tall, how could Southampton sign it?"

"It's impossible, who is that stupid to sponsor a Championship team for £3000 million?"

"That's right, can't you be fooled?"

There was a lot of discussion among the people.

The editor-in-chief Lewis also heard the movement and walked out.

After asking about the situation, he also found it unbelievable.

"Charlene, is it true?"

"It's absolutely true!" Charlene Lahiri was very sure.

She firmly believed that Yang Huan would never lie to her.

As for the reason, she didn't know either.

In short, she believed it!
"I want you to immediately investigate a winery in Bordeaux, France called Calon Family, and I want all its information, as soon as possible!"

At this moment, Charlene Lahiri was full of aura.

"I know this winery!" Editor-in-Chief Lewis believed Charlene Lahiri's words a little bit.

"I have friends in Bordeaux, and I can collect information on this."

Charlene Lahiri nodded, "That's it, 3000 million pounds sponsored by Southampton!"

Speaking of this, a frenzy flashed in her eyes.

Even though she has been on the headlines of the Southern Echo countless times, she still feels excited every time.

"This will detonate the media all over the world tomorrow, or even in the next few days!"

Who said no?
With the sky-high sponsorship price of 3000 million pounds, the media all over the world didn't take the opportunity to hype it wildly?

"Quick, quick, quick, everyone get ready!" Charlene Lahiri clapped her hands vigorously.

As soon as she gave an order, the entire editorial department was like a machine that had just been lubricated, and it started to run skillfully again.
