Midfielder Ruler

Tang Zheng took the air ticket and passport and completed the check-in procedures. He lowered his head and glanced at the time on his watch. It was more than an hour before the flight. He suddenly remembered what Rodrigo mentioned last night, so he turned his head and asked, Yes Now, what did you say last night?

Rodrigo didn't speak in a hurry, but pointed to the coffee shop in the northeast direction: It's too noisy here, let's go to the coffee shop to talk.

Tang Zheng nodded, and the two entered the coffee shop to find a quiet place, and ordered a cup of coffee each.

The thing is like this. Rodrigo put a contract in the folder in front of Tang Zheng: This is a three-year commercial sponsorship contract offered to you by Adidas South America Vice President Kate Ridley , You take it and have a look, if it is suitable, change the flight, we will go to Germany to sign a contract with Adidas.

Adidas?

Tang Zheng frowned, took the contract and looked down seriously.

The general content of the contract is that the two parties signed a three-year contract. During these three years, Adidas will become Tang Zheng's sports brand sponsor, and he is not allowed to wear any sports brand equipment other than Adidas in any public places during this period.

In addition, Adidas will cooperate with Adidas to carry out four promotional activities in China every year. For this, Adidas will pay Tang Zheng 200,000 U.S. dollars every year, and provide two sets of the latest equipment for free every season. The treatment will increase by 10% every year. Covenant right.

To be honest, this contract is quite generous for Tang Zheng who is only eighteen years old, two hundred thousand dollars a year is equivalent to his four months salary.

But Tang Zheng was not satisfied with this contract, so he shook his head, handed the contract back to Rodrigo, and said simply and neatly: I'm not going to sign it.

why?

Rodrigo glanced at Tang Zheng unexpectedly, and then asked a question.

Do you think I have a lot of room for growth?

Of course! Rodrigo said without hesitation, Tang Zheng is currently the most talented player under him.

Tang Zheng picked up the coffee and took a sip, feeling a bit bitter, so he added a few spoonfuls of sugar, then looked at Rodrigo and said slowly: So I personally think it's too early to sign a big brand like Adidas, I think Wait until next year and I think I should focus more on training and games now, what do you think?

Although Tang Zheng only turned nineteen this November, he can see through the essence of many things.

Indeed, if he puts his attention on advertising endorsements too early, it will definitely affect his competitive state. Human energy is limited after all, so he decisively chooses the latter in terms of immediate interests and future prospects.

Moreover, it is a big problem to go back to China for promotion activities at least four times a year.

Rodrigo smiled, and drank the rest of the cup of coffee in front of him: Well, I know how to say no to Adidas.

In fact, Rodrigo just wanted to tell Tang Zheng that Adidas was interested in him. If Tang Zheng agreed to Adidas' request to sign a contract, then he would persuade Tang Zheng. Now that he is in the initial stage of his career, he should focus more on Contest.

But now it seems that Rodrigo's worries are a bit unnecessary.

How smart is Tang Zheng?

He glanced at Rodrigo meaningfully: Hey, tell me the truth, do you also agree with me signing with Adidas?

Rodrigo didn't hide anything, and nodded in recognition.

Afterwards, the two chatted for another half an hour in the coffee shop.

Rodrigo didn't watch Tang Zheng enter the waiting hall until the airport broadcast reminded him.

Rodrigo looked at Tang Zheng who disappeared into the crowd, and felt very relieved. Tang Zheng was fundamentally different from many gifted teenagers he knew, and he knew what was more important at such a young age.

As long as there are no ups and downs in his next career, he will grow into a star,

Even superstars are not a problem...

At that time, wouldn't it still be possible to make money?

Just like Jorge Mendes!

There is no direct flight from Buenos Aires to SH Pudong Airport, so Tang Zheng’s return to Shanghai is more cumbersome and takes longer. He needs to fly from Ezeiza International Airport to Los Angeles, USA, and then fly to SH Pudong Airport is expected to take thirty-five hours, which means that it will take a day and a half for Tang Zheng to return home to see his parents...

I don't know whether it is the thought of returning home, or the insomnia caused by the rejection of a commercial sponsorship of 200,000 US dollars a year.

He couldn't fall asleep on the plane at all. He wanted to chat with someone and looked at the nearby passengers. They were either sleeping or doing their own things, and it was not a good habit to disturb others.

So I simply opened my eyes and picked up a few magazines placed on the mezzanine in front of the armchair to pass the time.

As the saying goes, there is a house of gold in the book.

The first magazine that Tang Zheng held in his hands was Sports Illustrated, the best-selling magazine in Argentina, and it was the latest issue.

So he put the remaining three books back and started reading mode.

As the 2008 A-League Autumn League comes to an end, the latest issue of Sports Illustrated is to report on the entire autumn league, among which River Plate, which won the league championship, is the most mentioned team.

As the league champion of this season, River Plate is naturally the biggest winner of all the glory.

The best team of the season was undoubtedly won by River Plate, which created a new record in A-League points. The best coach was Diego Simeone. The league championship has shown the world that he also has extraordinary strength in his coaching career.

The player of the season is Falcao, who averaged one goal per game.

Later, when Tang Zheng saw that he was mentioned in Sports Illustrated, he also read it with special attention.

In the Best Rookie of the Season section on the next page of the Best Player of the Season, Tang Zheng defeated Hurricanes' Javier Pastore to be elected. The background picture is his celebration after breaking the deadlock against Boca Juniors, which is quite domineering.

In this regard, he gave Sports Illustrated a thumbs up, saying that the editor of the magazine is capable and discerning!

The text even made Tang Zheng feel a little embarrassed, he was so good at flattering!

When I arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, it was already twelve hours later.

Back then when he flew to Buenos Aires with his father Tang Tianhua by his side, he didn't feel so boring. Only now did he realize how boring it was to fly back to China by himself.

Now we have to wait another four hours for transit, which is really bad.

In Los Angeles, Tang Zheng was unfamiliar with the place, so he finally boarded the flight to SH after waiting for four hours.

Tang Zheng, who was by the window, looked at the clouds outside the window, and felt a little emotional in his heart. He never thought that less than a year had passed, and his life trajectory had unexpectedly changed like a dream.

Thinking about the unfair treatment in the past, he secretly clenched his fists...

Clothes that do not return home are like brocades walking at night.

Now it is time to let those people who look down on others know what the rebellious boy has achieved today!

With this thought in mind, Tang Zheng fell asleep.

In the dream, Tang Zheng had another sweet dream. He held up the UEFA Champions League trophy, which symbolizes the highest honor in Europe, and the fans around the stands were hysterically chanting his name.

After nearly twenty hours of long-distance flight, the plane finally landed and taxied. Tang Zheng glanced at the scene outside the window that was receding at high speed, and his heart was very excited.

Finally home!

As the plane slowly comes to a stop, the terminal moves to connect to the plane that opens the cabin door.

After a few minutes, Tang Zheng lined up behind other passengers and walked towards the terminal building.

When the cabin door is opened, the breath of summer is particularly strong.

Fortunately Tang Zheng brought summer clothes, otherwise he would be ashamed to come back wearing Argentine winter clothes.

While turning on the closed cell phone, Tang Zheng took a deep breath of the air in Greater Shanghai, ignoring the bursts of smog visible above the airport.

Still the original formula, still the familiar taste.

All of a sudden, Tang Zheng became poetic: Haze, I only smoke Dashang·Shanghai. Compared with the intensity of Beijing Haze, the coldness of Jiangxi Haze, and the mellowness of Hunan Haze, I prefer the reality and concreteness of Shanghai Haze’s heat and humidity. The catalysis of the upper exhaust gas and the low pressure set off, and finally blended with the curling sulfur smoke, making it dry and palatable. After inhalation, it hangs in the lungs and lasts for a long time, making the tasters feel damp and stuffy in the lungs. .

Within half a minute of turning on the phone, he received several consecutive short messages.

Just as he opened the browser, a call from Sanchez was displayed on the screen.

Huh? Why did Alexis call me? Tang Zheng was a little puzzled, but he immediately pressed the answer button, grinned and said, Hey, Mr. Sanchez, do you miss me? ?”

Immediately, Sanchez's voice pretending to vomit came from the phone, and then the voice changed: Now there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?

If you have something to say, let it go. Your brother and I have just returned to Shanghai, China, and I am about to pick up my checked luggage. Tang Zheng walked towards the signboard to pick up the big turntable for checked luggage, and said, I have been sitting for thirty years. Hours of flight, that's not what I want.

Then I'll make a long story short...

At this moment, Tang Zheng's attention was attracted by a beautiful woman passing by. Her long and flowing slightly curly hair was draped over her shoulders. Those red and phoenix eyes flashed with a look that made men go crazy. Her lips were sexy and seductive, her face was covered with light makeup, and the off-white long dress made her fair skin look more white, tender and slender, making those men who passed by couldn't help but raise their eyes, including Tang Zheng.

It is a pity that the chest is a bit small, and it is a B cup by visual inspection.

Soon, someone recognized her and shouted: Lin Zhiling!

No wonder she looks familiar, the number one beauty in Taiwan!

Seeing that Tang Zheng didn't respond, Sanchez on the other end of the phone shouted twice depressedly: Don? Don?

Tang Zheng, who had reacted, didn't care about Taiwan's number one beauty, and hurriedly said, Ah? What did you say just now? Just now I was helping an old lady to cross the road, and you know that I respect the old and love the young.

En. Sanchez nodded, in his impression Tang Zheng was so warm-hearted and didn't doubt it, but he soon realized that something was wrong, and frowned, Didn't you just say you were still at the airport to pick up your luggage?

I think your good news is more important, tell me quickly! I'm so happy for you!

Sanchez was successfully diverted by Tang Zheng, and said excitedly, We will still be teammates next season!
