Chapter 44 This Is... How It Feels To Be Rich?

The summer of 2015 was Chen Hao's first summer window since he became a professional player.

In fact, it was only a month since he signed the official contract.

If it is on other young players, this summer must be a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

But for Chen Hao, who is just 17 years old, this holiday is extremely busy.

He has successively accepted in-depth interviews with CCTV, Sichuan TV, Chengdu TV, Sports Weekly, and Tencent Sports—each interview requires at least three or four hours of shooting time.

During this period, he signed endorsement contracts with many domestic and international brands, and each time he held a large-scale press conference, and even launched a new product by the way...

"Nike signed Chen Hao with lightning speed! The annual sponsorship fee exceeds 1.2 million!"

"The second signing of the core of the national football team! Tencent Group angrily smashed 2 million!"

"Yili defeated Mengniu! Chen Hao won another [-] million yuan contract!"

"Support domestic products! China Chen rejects Toyota and Samsung!"

"2000W Euros! Chen Hao has become the brand spokesperson for the entire series of Volkswagen!"

"Huawei spends huge sums of money to sign the new king of football!"

"China XX Insurance guarantees the health of Chinese sports leaders for 20 years!"

"Back to football! Wanda Group strongly invites Chen Hao to be its image spokesperson!"

……

Throughout the second half of June, Chen Hao was the most eye-catching one in the Chinese sports world, because almost every other day, he would appear at a heavyweight event.

In 15 days, interviews and commercial activities were interleaved, but they also promoted each other. With the popularity of 6 points and 12 goals, Chen Hao's image and commercial value directly broke the peak record of basketball superstar Yao Ming!

He signed a total of nine endorsement contracts. Even the cheapest Huawei mobile phone has reached 1400 million yuan a year, equivalent to [-] million euros!
As for the rich and powerful Tencent and a certain insurance company, they are both astronomical figures of more than [-] million!
Raiola and Tony have always adhered to the principle of catching the big and letting go of the small. As a superstar, there is no need to accept those small fish and shrimps at a lower price, but there is no need to pay attention to any offer lower than nine figures!
This future superstar, who has just passed his 17th birthday and one month old, can get 1 billion RMB with his eyes closed in the next 12 months!

If he works a little harder and strives to win another league golden boot, league championship, European golden boot, Champions League golden boot, Champions League champion and other awards, this number can rise up to 500%!

That is... 60 billion a year!

Well, it is nothing more than several times the start-up capital of Principal Wang when he first started his business.
-
Generally, when companies and celebrities sign contracts, they tend to cover up sponsorship fees, and the media and the public can only rely on speculation—mainly for tax purposes.

But Chen Hao chose to disclose the sponsorship fees of these nine endorsements without exception!

These enterprises have expressed to the people of the whole country in the most direct, simple and rude way:

look!How much we support the present and future of Chinese football! !
We unswervingly support all the instructions of the Supreme Leader for football reform!

We are all good babies! -
Fast forward to mid-July.

Chen Hao, who earns [-] billion a year, finally took a breath.

After signing nine contracts, he spent the next 9 days in the studio shooting commercials for various businesses.

Fortunately, with his current level of importance, he no longer needs to fly all over China to catch up with the scene. These photography teams have rushed to Chengdu from all directions to provide him with services at the shortest distance...

And when he was counting the money while filming, another piece of news came from the European continent:
"Wanda Group has acquired 6000% of the shares of Atletico Madrid, the third strongest team in La Liga, at a price of 25 million euros!"

早在2015年1月份，万达就用4000万欧元（也有说是4500万）收购了马竞20%的股份，并且也成为了马竞的第二大股东。

This time, in one go, he acquired 25% of the shares from the largest shareholder and retail investors. Although he spent more money than at the beginning of the year, he managed to make himself the real first shareholder.

In 2015, Wanda was absolutely capable of buying 100% of Atletico Madrid’s shares. However, this old team in the Spanish capital region is as conservative as the city. Even under the temptation of huge funds, many people still refuse to sell their shares. ...

However, Wanda Group, which has become the first shareholder, already has a considerable right to speak. They immediately held a meeting of the club's board of directors, and then sent a fax to the Metz Club in France.

"Om..."

Cartier, who was vacationing on a beach in the south of France, got a call.

While picking up the phone, he smiled and admired the beautiful bikini girls passing by him enchantingly:

"It's vacation time, my dear Mr. Christian Martin, and this girl is on time!"

Having just spent a thrilling season, Cartier really needs to relax his body and spirit, otherwise he will collapse.

As for transfers and signings, he has already handed over the list of players he wants to clean up or sign in to the football director-Christian Martin. He doesn't need to worry about this, and he doesn't have this power.

"...What? Are you crazy!"

Cartier suddenly exclaimed, and the tourists around couldn't help but glance at him.

But he didn't mean to apologize at all, instead he yelled at the phone:
"He just became a professional player, you're going to sell him?!"

As a professional coach who has experienced too many storms, Cartier is not naive enough to think that Metz can retain any super players. In fact... In the past history, this team known for its youth training has no Ability to retain any capable player.

Even in 1998, when Metz was in full swing and won the Ligue [-] runner-up, they couldn't keep the talented core of the team-such as Pires.

The survival of the middle and lower teams depends on the operation process of buying at low prices and selling at high prices. Of course, Cartier, who has played professional football, knows it all.

But he knows better:

The most talented guy in the club today should never have been sold so early!
Martin's calm voice came from the phone:
"I didn't agree to it at first, but they raised the offer to a figure that I couldn't refuse. Maybe you should also listen to this figure. I promise you can't refuse."

Cartier poohed angrily:
"A 17-year-old kid, even if he won the Ligue [-] Golden Boot, how much can they pay? Atletico Madrid... is not Real Madrid with stupid people and rich money! If you want to sell him, at least you have to wait until he finishes playing. A full season! That's the way to achieve higher value!"

There was a quick answer on the phone:

"From the perspective of risk and return, the price they offered has infinitely exceeded the club's expectations. Even if he finishes playing for one season, I don't think he can reach this actual price."

Cartier asked:
"How much is it?"

"... 1 million euros."

Cartier was silent for a few seconds, then twisted his neck with difficulty, and looked at the sun in the east:
"Sorry, Christian, I don't have a good signal here, can you say that again?"

This round of golden sun... is so fucking dazzling!

Sorry, I have a party in the evening, I had some drinks, and I really don't have time to type, the second update will probably be two hours later.
