After the Munich Derby, the 1860 Club ushered in a Chinese media group: mainly CCTV reporters, but also "Sports Weekly", "Football" and Shao Jiayi's hometown media BTV, as well as some advertisers.

It has been 95 years since China Central Television began to broadcast the Bundesliga in 10. The number of German football fans in China has begun to increase, and its influence has gradually increased. If you want to say which German club is the most popular in China, it is still Bayern Munich Munich.

China is also very concerned about the Munich Derby, firstly because of the large number of Bayern fans, secondly because there is a Chinese player Shao Jiayi in Munich 1860, and thirdly because this game is very popular in Europe, and the major media reported after the game Key comments, while domestic mainstream public opinion always follows Europe.

The national conditions are different. Most European fans are diehard fans of the local team from birth. Occasionally, the second favorite team is not from the same city. But in China, fans either choose their favorite team based on the team's reputation, or It's the love of the house and the black, from liking a certain player to following a certain team.

In the past, 1860 Munich only had two code names in the eyes of many Chinese fans, one was "a small German team" and the other was "the place where Shao Jiayi played". After the Munich 1860 game, they gradually lost their original contempt and began to really like this team.

Since Munich in 1860, China has had a lot of diehard fans (most people really don’t like the Lions because of Shao Jiayi), although the number is not as good as those who have accumulated rich and powerful teams, but it is still quite impressive - the number of Baidu Tieba members reaches There are more than 7000 people, and at the same time, a private fan forum is being created. The main players in the team are also given various affectionate nicknames by the fans.

"Sports Weekly" once came to Germany to interview Karl. That time their itinerary was only an exclusive interview with Karl and Shao Jiayi. This time it is much richer. Several media including CCTV will interview all the main players of Munich 1860 , will also interview the chairman of the club, and visit the training base and youth training camp.

By the way, film the whole process of signing the Lions players with Guangxi Golden Throat Group.

Yes, it was at this time that Karl knew that after he rejected the signing of the Golden Voice, they found all the players in the first team through the club and offered them a collective endorsement contract, because German coaches usually do not intervene in the club As for the power of business activities, the executive Zeutmeyer has a general relationship with Karl, so he didn't tell him about this matter in advance.

The contracts provided by the Golden Throat Group were very lucrative, and the endorsement fees received by several key players were even worth their annual salary, so almost all the players agreed to the contract without even asking whether they endorsed candy or pills.The Golden Throat Group also sent representatives to Munich with the CCTV media team this time, just to finalize the contract that had been negotiated orally on paper.

This is the first collective advertising contract received by 1860 Munich after Carl coached, and it is also the first endorsement contract from overseas, so both the club management and the players are quite pleased to promote the smooth progress of the whole thing—— Including Carl.

Karl rejected Golden Voice firstly because he didn’t want himself to endorse pharmaceutical products, and secondly, he didn’t like the advertising style of this product, but it didn’t mean that he didn’t like his players accepting this commercial. Karl knew that many players needed this money very much. Endorsement fees, they will greatly improve the living environment of players and their families.

At the signing ceremony, Karl couldn't stop laughing from beginning to end.

His smile was so bright that it made most of the players feel cold. They mustered up the courage to find Carl, and asked him cautiously, "Boss, what are you happy about?"

"I'm happy for you." Carl blinked at them, smiling brighter: "This is your first collective endorsement advertisement, I just made a decision, after it is completed, I will ask the manufacturer for a copy , and then show it to you in the locker room!"

The golden voice commercial was only broadcast in China. At first, the players thought they would not see their first photoshoot, but now they were very moved when they heard Carl's words.The players were chattering and discussing: "When the commercial is shot, let's ask the boss for a copy and take it home as a souvenir?"

……

Carl pushed open the door of a bar. There was a lot of people inside, the loud music could pierce the eardrums, and the lights flashed non-stop, illuminating the writhing bodies of countless groups of demons dancing wildly.

One of the impacts of the Oktoberfest - when nearly 600 million tourists flooded into the city at once, except for the hotels and restaurants that were all full, there were no bars to find a quiet spot at night.

Walking on the street, Carl thought about whether to take a walk to pass the time, or go back to the apartment to continue the boring work, until...he saw a newly opened bar.

The decoration of the store is his favorite style, and it is definitely newly opened, because when Karl passed by here half a month ago, he had not found this bar on the street.

Unfortunately, there is a sign in front of the door, which says "Full".This was the first time Carl encountered a bar with a sign of "full occupancy" today. All other stores opened their doors, taking advantage of the east wind of the Oktoberfest to attract any guests, filling the dance floor and any corner to the brim.

Just as Carl was about to leave, the door of the bar opened, and a man and a woman dressed in fashion came out. A waiter followed them and flipped the "Full" sign to "Hosting customers" .

The male waiter turned around and saw Carl, he was slightly taken aback, then nodded and smiled at him politely.

"Why hang this sign outside the store?" Carl took the opportunity to ask.

"Our bar is different from other places." The male waiter explained with some pride: "The owner hopes that the atmosphere of the bar will always be quiet and charming, so we will not open the door to invite people in at will, but intentionally limit the flow of people. Make sure that every customer who comes in and consumes has a seat."

It is easy to find lively bars on this bustling commercial street, but there are only a handful of quiet places. This immediately attracted Karl, and he walked in behind the bartender.

After looking around the inside of the bar with the light and light music, Carl immediately decided that he liked it here!

There are no live sports games on big-screen TVs, no loud music, and no crazy men and women with seven or eight pierced ears and tattoos all over their bodies. There are only ambiguous lights, charming soft music flowing in the air, and a picture of A bar with scented candles, sitting friends and couples talking in a low voice...

It's like, this place is really suitable for people to chat, make friends and flirt, not a place full of promiscuity, where two people can meet in the bathroom or the back alley of a bar if they see each other.

Moreover, the decoration, lighting, music, layout and even the costumes worn by the waiters here made Carl feel happy and reminded him of some things in the past.

At that time, he was still an intern in the company, and he had to compete with five newcomers in the same period for a job that only offered two official positions. The intrigue and socializing in the office made him spend a lot of time in the bar. After a few months, he was awarded I got the job, but also got a bit of a stomach bug and got extremely sick of the noisy bar environment.

Once he chatted with Alan and said: "If I retire in the future and still have a lot of money in my hands, I will open a bar. Although it must be in a downtown area, it must have a quiet atmosphere and refuse to be noisy. Live games, gamblers, prostitutes and bad boys, it will be like a cafe that opens at night, but also serves alcohol."

Allen laughed at him at the time: "Open a bar like this in the downtown area? God, you will lose money."

But Karl doesn't think so: "There are always people in the world who like to drink and chat quietly like me. I believe there must be a market for such a place, but I know that it's just not that profitable."

"What would you like to drink?" the bartender asked him.

Carl returned to his senses, smiled and said, "Martini."

The bartender quickly stirred the wine and put it on the bar counter. When Carl reached out to serve it, a person suddenly sat up next to him and said to him in an inquiring tone: "Do you mind if I buy this glass? "

Carl took a look at the person: a black-haired, blue-eyed middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a blue round-neck sweater, black suit pants, and rimless glasses. His facial features are delicate, but his expression is a little nervous.

And the purpose of inviting someone to drink at a bar couldn't be more obvious: flirting.

After thinking about it for 2 minutes, Carl raised his glass to the other party and took a sip first: "Then I won't be polite."

The man was sweating from the tension just now. He was relieved when he heard Carl's words, and said to the bartender, "Have the same glass as him."

Carl took another sip of wine: "Do scientific research, or work in school?"

The man looked surprised: "How did you see that?"

"You have a preppy atmosphere, as well as your outfit. The colors and styles are conservative, unlike the outfits that gays usually choose to go to bars. Presumably because of the working environment, there is no more bold clothing in the closet."

"I'm a university professor." The man smiled and said, "And you're right, I don't have any sexy clothes in my closet. What about you? What do you do?"

Karl asked him back, "Aren't you from Munich?"

The man was even more surprised: "You can even see this? That's right, I'm from Cologne to attend the Oktoberfest with my colleagues."

"I can do magic." Carl blinked at him.

The man's glasses were crooked when he laughed, but most of the original tension was gone: "How old are you?"

"27, how about you?"

The man pushed his glasses: "Thirty...four."

Carl raised an eyebrow.

"Well, I just passed my 40th birthday." The man's expression returned to a somewhat reserved look: "Please forgive me for lying, the main reason is that under normal circumstances, young people like you don't look at me like this." Middle-aged."

After drinking a glass of wine, Carl felt hot, and he stretched out his hand to loosen two buttons: "Today is not the usual situation."

The man's face suddenly turned red: "The hotel I live in is not far from here." He boldly said: "Five-star hotel, colleagues and I are not on the same floor, and my room is a suite... You can go, Uh, go take a shower or something."

Carl stood up: "Then let's go." He smiled sweetly at the other party: "Forgot to ask, your name?"

The man hurriedly took out his wallet to pay, and he said while paying, "Alan, you can call me Alan."

The name was like pouring a basin of cold water on Carl's head, and he felt the heat go away from his body.

But the man didn't notice the change in Carl's facial expression. After he stuffed his wallet, he suddenly looked embarrassed, and said awkwardly, "I think I need to go to the bathroom first, don't you mind?"

Carl was like liberation: "Go ahead, I don't mind."

……

When footsteps were heard behind him, Carl took a breath, turned around, and said in an apologetic tone, "Sorry Alan, I just received an urgent call—why is it you?" Surprised, just because it was Alan, Alan Cranstone.

Allen gave him a malicious smile: "Otherwise, who are you waiting for, a university professor in his 40s who dare not come out publicly? Oh, by the way, that's still a black-haired cat with glasses."

Carl frowned: "What did you do to Allen?"

"Don't call that name so affectionately, I'm going to be disgusting." Alan Cranstone said disgustedly: "When I found out that you were flirting with him in the bar, I scared him away."

"Why? It has nothing to do with you."

"Of course it has something to do with it." Allen said bluntly: "I don't see anyone flirting in front of me, especially you - you hooked up with my sister, and then went to have a room with a man, don't you want to tell me that you are bisexual?" Sexuality?"

Carl smiled hypocritically at him: "No, I'm GAY. I'm really straight, and I never told Anthea that I was straight."

Allen choked suddenly.

Carl looked at him: "It's you, don't you have a cleanliness, why do you still come to this kind of place?"

"I opened this bar, of course I can appear here anytime I want." Allen continued to smile maliciously: "So I can drive away whoever I want, and close the door whenever I want Closing the door will not let you have any fun."

Carl gave him a deep look, turned and left.

"Where are you going?" Allen called after him.

Carl waved his hand: "You control me."

Carl pushed open the door of the bar and went out. Allen grabbed a hat and followed out: "Are you going to find another man? I'll call Anthea."

"Calling her won't change my sexuality."

"At least I can make her tears drown you." Allen said coldly, "Then I will make your life uneasy."

Carl stopped and stared at a phone booth in front of him: "I'm going home, and I'm not going anywhere."

"Find a time to confess to Anthea. Over the past year or so, she has been getting better and better, and she has become like her before. I thought you... Forget it, it's better to explain it to her, so that she won't Deep in the mud."

Alan stood side by side with him, but neither of them looked at each other: "But don't be too blunt, she has had similar... shadows before, if she is too blunt, she will be hit, be tactful, Hint at her, she's a smart girl."

"I know." Carl replied in a low voice, and then walked towards the nearest taxi.

Allen stood behind him until the taxi pulled away and turned into another street.
