Football giants

Chapter 232
Bert Hoyet had just got off the plane at London's Heathrow Airport and rushed straight to Southampton's St. Mary's Stadium with his team of negotiating assistants without stopping.

He hopes to be able to negotiate this deal with Southampton as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, when he came to St. Mary's Stadium, accompanied by Southampton's executive chairman Nicola Cortes, he walked into the office and passed the conference room. Through the open door, he saw Southampton's marketing director Sun Yue and Adidas negotiator Marcus Bowman.

He took the lead?

Bert Hoyet panicked all of a sudden.

If it is said that Nike's demand for Southampton is more reflected in one or two years later, it is preparing for the future.

Well, adidas' need for saints is now!
Liverpool was poached away, leaving Chelsea alone to support the entire British market.

This is certainly not what Adidas wants to see.

And if you want to reverse this situation, then winning Southampton is undoubtedly a good addition.

Even if this is just a Championship team.

But when have you ever seen a Championship team so awesome and so attracted the attention of the entire English football world?

Even, at the moment, the media throughout Europe are discussing what big moves Southampton will make this summer.

For this level of attention, even the Premier League teams may not be able to have it.

"Nicolas, how are you talking with Adidas?" Bert Hoyet asked with a smile as soon as he sat down in another conference room.

Nicola Cortez was a little embarrassed and shook his head, "The progress is not bad. We had already talked for a day yesterday, but the two sides couldn't agree on the price. I don't know if there is any new progress today."

Bert? Hoyet knew it and nodded.

After Nicola Cortez left, he immediately waved to his team.

"Wait a minute and the negotiation price starts from 2000 million pounds!"

"Fifty million pounds?"

"Isn't it? It's too high!"

The previous 500 million pounds made many people think it was outrageous. After all, when Nike sponsored Inter Milan, it was only this price.

But now sponsoring Southampton, which is still a team in the English Championship, is going to give 2000 million?
"The most important thing is data sharing and cooperation in virtual reality technology!"

This is another crucial negotiating point for Belt? Hoyet's trip.

It is not very important to be able to win jersey sponsorship. What is really important is the cooperation in big data and virtual reality technology, which is the most important part of Nike headquarters.

The members of the negotiation team also knew it well, so they didn't say anything more.

…………

…………

After Nicola Cortez left the small meeting room, he passed the Adidas negotiation room and found that the door was closed.

I feel very strange in my heart, is the negotiation over?
But when he returned to the office, he found Sun Yue sitting in his office, sitting on the sofa, crossing his legs and playing WeChat.

"Master Huan, the price of Adidas is very tight, 800 million pounds, and they will not let go."

After speaking into the microphone, Sun Yue shook his phone at Nicola Cortez.

Soon, a notification sound came.

Sun Yue immediately clicked to answer.

"Eighteen million pounds? Isn't that insincere?" This was Yang Huan's voice.

Then came another one.

"what do you think?"

Sun Yue pressed the button again, and said, "Just now I deliberately did not close the door of the conference room, so that Marcus Bowman could see Bert Hoyet and the others. Obviously, he was nervous and wanted to use some small actions to cover it up, but how could he hide it from me?"

When this guy said it, he still had a smug expression on his face.

Nicola Cortez on the side was depressed.

It turned out that the door of the conference room had been left open on purpose.

This guy is too cunning, too outrageous, even I hide it from him!

No wonder Kesh? Harris said, don't do business with the Chinese.

The news came back immediately.

"Then put some pressure on them, it's only 800 million pounds, too little!"

Nicola Cortes smiled wryly.

My Master Huan, 800 million pounds, that's already the treatment of a wealthy team.

Inter Milan is not so high, and AC Milan is about the same price, how low?
"Understood!" Sun Yue answered concisely this time.

Nicola Cortez sat aside, watched him finish the WeChat call, and waited for his next move.

But who knew, this kid actually started playing games.

It's outrageous, it's outrageous!
"Hey, let me tell you, they're waiting there!" Nicola Cortez finally couldn't help but speak, feeling overwhelmed.

"I know!"

"You don't see them?"

"See you!"

"Then you're still sitting here playing games?"

"Wait, why are you in a hurry?"

Sun Yue suddenly thought of something, "Oh, that's right."

He stood up directly, but instead of going to meet the guests as Nicola Cortez thought, he walked outside the office and called the front desk lady in.

"Go to the two conference rooms and ask if they want something to drink."

"Okay, Mr. Sun!"

"By the way, let me have a cup of coffee, Nikolai, what do you drink?"

Nicola Cortez got a little angry, "I can't drink anything!"

"Then bring him a cup of boiling water and put it on the fire!"

Sun Yue chuckled, and continued to bury his head in playing his game, still muttering.

"Wow, I haven't played for a day, and I was so much ahead of Master Huan. These days, if you don't play hard, you will be ranked as the deputy squad leader sooner or later!"

Nicola Cortez was depressed.

Master Huan is like this, why is this Sun Yue like this?
That's Nike and Adidas, the giants in the field of jersey sponsorship, can they offend them?
"I said, what on earth are you thinking?" He finally couldn't sit still.

"Talk, what else can you think?"

"How to talk?"

"Let's just talk about it like this. Didn't Master Huan stop talking? Whoever pays the highest price wins!"

"Then you have to talk to them, what's the matter with you hanging them there now, hiding in my office and playing with your mobile phone?" Nicola Cortez couldn't stand it anymore.

Sun Yue couldn't help laughing, and put down the phone, "I said, Nicholas, it's not us who are in a hurry now, look at you, you look exactly like what Young Master Huan said, a grandson who runs a business to pull pyramid schemes, you talk like this, won't you be slaughtered like a fat sheep?"

Nicola Cortez blinked and blinked a few times, but there was no sound.

He felt that he was really in a hurry.

"Negotiations, the most important thing is psychological warfare. The relationship between supply and demand determines the price fluctuations. Now it is clear that several of their sponsors are competing for our project. We should not properly drive up the price and put some pressure on them. Didn't we miss the opportunity to make money in vain?"

Sun Yue's words left Nicola Cortez speechless.

"Fortunately, you were talking about the fiscal deficit all day long. Isn't this a good opportunity to improve the fiscal deficit?"

When it comes to fiscal deficits, Nicola Cortes is out of luck.

This is the eternal pain in his heart.

So, he simply didn't say anything.

But as a person, he can't hide things in his heart, and he doesn't sit or stand over there.

Sun Yue played with his mobile phone for a while, seeing him sitting and standing like this, he thought it was funny, so he simply stood up.

"Forget it, I'm going!"

Soon, Sun Yue came outside Nike's negotiating room.

He knocked lightly on the door a few times and walked in.

"I'm sorry, Belt, I wanted to come here just now, but you also know that Marcus is too entangled, and he won't let me go!" He closed the door while talking, and shook his head helplessly.

If Nicola Cortez had been there, he would have wailed on the spot.

Jesus, this guy can act like Leonardo DiCaprio.

He shouldn't be a marketing director, he should go to Hollywood to make a movie and win an Oscar!

Belt Holt stood up with a wry smile and shook hands with him, but he really couldn't tell whether his words were true or false.

"Belt, frankly speaking, our Young Master Huan just called and yelled at me just now."

Bert Holt and the others all raised their heads in unison.

In negotiations, what are you scolding?
"Our Young Master Huan scolded me, two or thirty million pounds of sponsorship, it's such a big deal, and we haven't reached a conclusion after talking for so long, saying that if I can't make a deal before tonight, I don't have to be the head of the marketing department tomorrow, and I will be fired!"

When everyone heard it, they were dumbfounded and thought it was funny.

Two thirty million pounds?What's the big deal?
This young master Huan is really not ordinary rich and powerful!

However, as long as you have heard a little bit about him, you will not doubt that he has such strength.

"So, let's get straight to the point, how much can you give?"

Sun Yue's frankness made it useless for some bargaining chips that Bert Hoyet and others had carefully prepared for a long time.

It's too blatant, it's just a price war of bidding!
"How much does Adidas sell?"

"Yesterday it was 2000 million, and today we raised 200 million, but it is still a little far from our psychological price." Sun Yue said frankly, very sincerely.

As for how far this point is, I didn’t say it, you guessed it!

Bert? Hoyet knew that this was close to the upper limit of what the head office could achieve.

"We can only give £500m at most, but we have demands."

"Say!"

"You must provide virtual reality technology and equipment to help us build a product development system."

"This is a little troublesome. I can't agree on behalf of Young Master Huan, but I promise that I will do my best to help you discuss it. It's not a big problem!"

Just kidding, cooperation with Nike has huge benefits for the application and promotion of virtual reality technology and equipment.

Who would be foolish enough to say no?
"Also, the big data and analysis results of your R&D center must be shared with us unconditionally."

"This is fine!" Sun Yue nodded in agreement.

Bert Hoyet was a little weak. He felt that his side was too passive during the negotiation.

Who made Southampton so awesome?

"Well, I'll go ask our Young Master Huan for instructions again. I'll be right back when I get an answer!"

After finishing speaking, Sun Yue turned and opened the door and walked out.

At the door, he also specially called the front desk lady to exchange a cup of coffee for every guest.

It's all cold!
Bert? Hoyet sat back on the chair helplessly.

"They are using us to force Adidas to raise prices!"

"Isn't it? It's too shameful!"

"It's like playing us like monkeys!"

Nike's negotiating team is no idiot, and they saw the problem at a glance.

Belt? Hoyet is certainly no exception.

Judging from the degree of demand, Adidas needs Southampton more.

Therefore, unless Adidas refuses to offer a high price, Nike will have no negotiating advantage in jersey sponsorship.

"Quick, call the US headquarters immediately, we have to make a second plan!"

Belt? Hoyet has a hunch that Adidas is a bit of a dead end, and it is likely to compromise on Southampton.

Therefore, Nike must prepare early.

Fortunately, they still have one left.
