Coaching career started as a college team coach

The Wolves' scout department and youth training system started to operate. The data analysis team formed under Wei Le's leadership flew to various regions shown on the list like a spread net.

They will go to the site to inspect the candidates on the list. If possible, they have the right to sign them directly.

Because time waits for no one.

As for Wei Le, after solving a big problem, more things came up.

After learning that he had returned to China, many long-standing media interviews and endorsement negotiations came to him again. For a while, Wei Le's work machine, which had been silent for a while, started to call again.

He has never had an agent.

Mainly because he didn't need to hire an agent before he became famous, and after he became famous, he didn't have time to choose an agent specifically. So many things came to him now, and Wei Le seemed a little cramped.

"Agent?" Shi Yu confirmed.

"Yes, too many people contacted me about advertising and endorsements. I am not a professional. What if I make mistakes?" Wei Le said with a frown on the other end of the phone, "Why are there so many things to do during the holidays?"

Such an expression made Shi Yu couldn't help laughing.

"So, you need an agent to help you arrange and plan the content of endorsements and activities during the one or two months when you return to China, and help you read the contract?"

"Yes."

"Are there any specific requirements?"

Wei Le thought for a while, "The most important thing is that he needs to be trustworthy. I don't want Ronaldo to sign Golden Throat Treasures like I did."

Speaking of this, Shi Yu also understood.

In 2003, Ronaldo followed the Real Madrid team to China to play a commercial game. During the period, Golden Throat invited him to a private dinner through an intermediary. According to media reports at the time, the intermediary told Ronaldo that a corporate friend invited him to a private banquet and promised Ronaldo $300,000.

During this period, the company took a photo with Ronaldo and asked Ronaldo to shoot a video. In the video, Ronaldo wore a yellow "Golden Voice" jersey, held a box of Golden Voice lozenges, and grinned with big white teeth.

This video was later made into a Golden Voice advertisement. The Golden Voice advertisement with the slogan "Protect your throat, please use Golden Voice, Guangxi Golden Voice" was repeatedly broadcast on CCTV for four years, and Golden Voice became a throat lozenge brand known to audiences across the country.

Wei Le can still clearly remember Ronaldo's "naive" look in the advertisement at that time.

In the final analysis, this is Ronaldo being fooled.

After all, it was 2003, and people did not have a deep understanding of intellectual property rights and reputation rights such as trademarks, patents and endorsements, so it was normal for such speculation to occur.

But now in 2018, is the situation really much better?

In the information society, perhaps this kind of "working for nothing" will no longer happen. But Wei Le was still worried that he would suffer some "not so obvious" losses.

For example, adding a not so obvious clause in the contract.

Non-professionals may not be able to find the slightest difference.

"I understand." Shi Yu nodded.

Since it is clear that Wei Le and the Wolves are already tied to the same chariot, in the case of win-win cooperation, then even if this is Wei Le's personal problem, Shi Yu thinks he should help.

"Coincidentally, the company has connections in this area in China. I will find a reliable person to help you when the time comes, and he will contact you as soon as possible."

"Thank you very much."

After chatting for a few more words, Wei Le hung up the phone.

It was said that the "reliable person" would contact Wei Le as soon as possible.

But Wei Le really didn't expect that "as soon as possible" would come so quickly.

"Hello, I'm Jiang Lin."

The middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes stretched out his hand in front of Wei Le.

"Hello, I'm Wei Le." Wei Le still had a hint of surprise on his face. He really didn't expect Jiang Lin's arrival to be so sudden that Jiang Lin called him a few minutes after he and Shi Yu had talked on the phone.

Jiang Lin was also in Beijing, so the two sides agreed to meet at a cafe near Wei Le's home.

Jiang Lin wore a white shirt and neat trousers. His short hair made him look very capable, which was in line with Wei Le's stereotype of "career elites".

"How did you get here so quickly?" Wei Le and Jiang Lin ordered a cup of coffee each, and Wei Le asked casually.

"Uh... the car is faster." Jiang Lin answered without thinking.

Wei Le couldn't think of what to say to him for a while.

So he just glanced at Jiang Lin and nodded, "Oh."

"Then let's talk about business." Jiang Lin took out a few documents from his briefcase."Mr. Shi asked me to help you with your off-season affairs, mainly to help you arrange interviews, activities, programs, and help you choose the right sponsorship, right?"

"Yes." Wei Le nodded, "Then about the expenses..."

"Mr. Shi told you not to worry about this, at least he has paid for your expenses during this off-season."

"Is that so? That's great." Wei Le was a little surprised. He thought Shi Yu would only introduce him to a suitable candidate, but he didn't expect Shi Yu to pay for him directly.

At this point, Wei Le couldn't refuse. He planned to call to express his gratitude later.

"Do you have any basic requirements for my work?"

"Well, I believe in Shi Yu's vision. The people he recommends must have no problem with their abilities." Wei Le said, "But I only have one request."

"You can help me reject sponsorship and programs at will, but if you plan to accept, at least discuss with me and let me know before you reach an agreement with the other party."

"That's for sure." Jiang Lin nodded.

The sponsorship brands that came to Wei Le included not only sports brands, but also other brands that had nothing to do with sports.

But what surprised Jiang Lin was that Nike and Adidas actually came to Wei Le.

These two major sports brands generally look for football players, and basically don't look for head coaches. But it may be because Wei Le basically doesn't wear a suit during his coaching, but wears whatever clothes he has.

The conditions given by Nike and Adidas are very generous, but the requirements are actually the same.

That is, they will not restrict Wei Le's private dress, but as long as he enters the competition and training venues, Wei Le must wear branded clothes.

"I have no problem with this." Wei Le said, "As long as they don't restrict my private dress, it's fine. You can talk about it."

Jiang Lin, who has always had no emotional fluctuations, was also a little speechless about Wei Le's indifferent attitude. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to complain about something, but still said nothing.

This is probably one of the most reassuring customers he has ever met.
