Chapter 439 Are the investors in the American Major League Crazy?
After Beckham renewed his contract, the other 92 people in the "Class of 5" who stayed at Manchester United also got new contracts.

As the mainstay of the club for the next 5 to 8 years, the treatment of Beckham, Giggs, the Neville brothers, Scholes and Butt has all been greatly improved.

When the news of Beckham's contract renewal appeared in the newspapers, Lloyd called: "David, I thought I was your agent, but I didn't expect that I was just your assistant. I read the news of your successful contract renewal from the newspaper with mixed feelings, but I still congratulate you!"

Lloyd tried his best to restrain himself, but he still couldn't hold back, and finished complaining as soon as the phone was connected.

It's not his fault, he didn't expect his manager to be like this bird at all.

In the United States, brokers are not an ordinary business. Some famous brokers can sometimes determine the career plans of stars and even interfere in the lives of the stars.

For example, the king of pop, MJ, completely handed over the work to his agent, and only made major decisions at work.Anyone who wants to contact him must first get permission from his agent.

Even if the king is like this, let alone other people, some starlets have devoted themselves to the name of well-known managers in order to become popular, and then completely lost their decision-making power in life.

Of course, that was the entertainment industry. People at MJ’s level had to socialize endlessly for wealth, popularity, and social status every day. His social relationships were very complicated. A conference room could be filled with agents, legal advisers, public relations personnel, and various assistants alone.

As a middle-class man, Lloyd was content with his life.Since becoming Beckham's legal counsel and nominal agent, his financial situation has risen from the middle to the upper middle class, and the cases in his hands have continued to flow, and he has even become the legal counsel of some entertainment stars.

His desire for control is not strong, and his life outside of work focuses on his family. He only gives his own suggestions on many things, and does not interfere with Beckham's decision.

But as an agent, the main client renews the contract with the club, but I can only get news from the newspaper, isn't it a bit
Usually, the number of times a player signs a contract in his entire career is 5 to 8 times. Each signing or renewal of a contract will affect the player's treatment in the next few years, which is logically an extremely important thing.

Since it is so important, should Manchester United communicate with him in advance, should Beckham notify him in advance?
However, no.
Of course, the two of them still signed a contract that was clearly similar to a brokerage contract, but these contracts only specified the commission points for Lloyd to help Beckham handle business affairs, and there were no other agreements.

To put it bluntly, Lloyd is Beckham's assistant, how much work he does and how much money he gets.

But how much work he can do is not up to him to decide, it depends on whether Beckham is willing to let him do it.

Comparing MJ is a bit exaggerated. After all, the other party is in the entertainment industry, and the nature of his work is different from the general environment of the industry. Naturally, he needs elite soldiers around him.

The players' agents are not too far behind. For example, the two agents of the aliens worked for Ronaldo to land in the Eredivisie as soon as he emerged, allowing Ronaldo, who was still in the growth and development stage, to participate in high-volume confrontation games.

At the age of 18, Ronaldo traveled back and forth between national teams and clubs at all levels. He suffered a serious injury at a young age. At that time, the Eindhoven team doctor diagnosed him as overworked and needed rest, so he chose to return to Brazil for treatment.

The ex-Cruzeiro doctor has been helping him recover and has warned his agent to give him time to rest.

Although Ronaldo's two agents have been anxious about his injury, they still let him participate in the Atlanta Olympics with injuries.

A young player who is only 22 years old has experienced 4 clubs, which can also tell what his agent is like.

Always changing environments is definitely not conducive to the long-term planning of a world-class player, but continuous transfers and signings can allow agents to get a lot of commissions.

Sometimes in order to get a player, the club will privately pay extra remuneration to the agent. This is an important reason why Ronaldo transferred three times at a young age.

These news have been buried deep, but the "Sun" shook the news out during the World Player of the Year campaign. It is said that Cruzeiro's team doctor has become a frequent guest on many gossip programs.

It is said that he is still preparing a book called "What Happened on the Day of the Finals". His book has already found a publisher, and he is just waiting to find a suitable opportunity to publish it.

Of course, Lloyd didn't intend to suck blood on a heartthrob. His education, his social status would not allow him to do so, and his financial situation is very good, which further stretches his moral threshold.

More importantly, if she does this by herself, Hathaway will definitely torture herself to death, and it is unknown whether she can maintain the father-daughter relationship.

To sum up, there is no benefit for him to cheat Beckham.

Hearing Lloyd's plaintive voice, Beckham laughed back: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lloyd, please forgive me for making my own decision. I have nothing to consider staying at Manchester United."

"Well, I didn't call to complain to you. Now I have two deals to discuss with you."

Hearing Beckham's bright smile, Lloyd knew that there was no need to continue discussing this matter, so he quickly got to the point: "The film crew of "X-Men" has been set up, and the estimated investment will reach about 7000 million yuan. They have sent me the script.

The remuneration they promised you is 500 million yuan after tax. "

Hearing the sincerity of the other party, Beckham felt that this matter needed serious consideration, but he could only wait until the end of the Champions League.

Of course, it’s also good to know the script first, just treat it as a casual book.

Since you are so sincere, let's stick to it for another two days.

It seems that it is really quick to get money from jobs in the entertainment industry. An advertisement is several million, and a movie is several million.

Hmm. Since they are all several million, it seems that the cost performance of advertising is obviously higher.

Forget it, you can't be too picky about being a worker. This role is obviously not worth 500 million yuan, which is already considered a premium, so there is nothing to say.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Beckham was about to end the call, but Lloyd continued: "David, there is one thing that you may think is a bit crazy, but I want to declare to you that this thing is real, and it is also a business."

Beckham thinks this guy is also quite strange. He has seen a salary of 5000 million pounds, and what is even crazier.

Speaking of the 5000 million pounds, Beckham felt a little bit of regret in his heart, that money is really easy to get, one movie can get it.

But when it comes to acting, he knows what level he is.

"Twilight" is considered a small production movie. In that movie, he basically only has 3 expressions, smile, stare and poker face, and he doesn't have much acting skills at all.

And when acting in movies, in order not to let themselves be crushed during movie screenings, other actors also lowered their performance standards.

If his own salary reaches 5000 million pounds, then the cost of the whole movie will have to be hundreds of millions, and the reputation of such a movie will definitely be bad.

This is equivalent to taking 5000 million and giving up the whole world, which is not worthwhile.

"Lloyd, go ahead."

Beckham tries to speed things up and save the guy some money.

I make long distance calls twice in three days. I don’t know if this guy’s income can bear it, especially if he has not lived for a long time.

"Then let me tell you, the investors of Major League Soccer met with me this afternoon. They invited you to become an investor in one of them and manage the team as the chairman of the club."

Before Lloyd finished speaking, Beckham spit out a mouthful of water with a "poof": "Hahaha, club chairman? Is he crazy?"
