Almighty Athlete

Chapter 91: The game has just begun

Views:

There were only Zhang Guan, He Yiming and Zhuge Wenbo in the conference room where Yiming consulted.

He Yiming pointed to the instructions from the Tianma Management Center and said: "The association still has concerns about the brokerage team, so we made three chapters in advance. The prerequisite for participating in commercial activities is that it cannot affect normal training, cannot affect competition results, and cannot cause any problems. Negative impact. Otherwise we will have to disband the championship team."

"Huh, worries? I think you are deliberately leaving a backup plan." Zhuge Wenbo, a returnee from overseas, spoke very directly.

"There is a lack of clear definition of these three conditions: affecting normal training, affecting competition performance and causing negative impacts. The association may think that this is a back-up, but for us, it is still a back-up. In the worst case, we will be slow. You're just talking nonsense." He Yiming said with a smile, obviously not paying much attention to these three chapters of the agreement. Then he continued: "But according to the share stipulated by the General Administration, the ratio is quite high. 40% of competition bonuses must be handed over first, and the remaining 60% will be given to coaches; advertising and endorsement income must be handed over 50%, and athletes must hand over 50%. I can only get half of it.”

Zhuge Bowen continued: "I think when the time is right, we can hire a dedicated team of coaches. At least we can save some money in terms of coaches' share."

"That's a matter for the future. You don't have to think about it now." He Yiming said to Zhang Guan: "The song you sang in Dahui received a very good response. There is already a record company that wants to release a record for you, but they are all Zhuge rejected it."

Zhuge Wenbo immediately said: "I also want to hear your opinion. If you want to develop into singing, I will help you find a big record company. You don't have to worry about songs, just look for composers."

Zhang Guan immediately shook his head: "I don't have any musical talent, so I'd better just be an athlete."

"In that case, don't waste the song you sing. You can record a single first and then make a MV. You can let Xu Xiujie's advertising company do this. The MV of the song doesn't have to be too complicated. You can intercept it from your performance at the Olympic Games. It should be very suitable to match the performance scene during the game with this song. Then make a DVD and make it beautifully packaged. It can be used as your exclusive souvenir. If there is a fan meeting in the future, it can be used as a souvenir. A gift." Zhuge Wenbo said.

"Okay, Brother Zhuge, just make arrangements for me." Zhang Guan said.

"You should call me Brother Wenbo. Brother Pig sounds awkward." Zhuge Wenbo made a small joke and then said: "In terms of rewards for winning the Olympic Games, the gold medal reward given by the country is 200,000, and the gold medal reward given by the Athletics Association is 200,000 yuan." One million as a bonus for the world record. In addition, your provincial athletics association has also decided to give you a bonus of one million. Your city has also provided one million, but they hope that you can go back and shoot a tourism promotional video for The tourism industry promotes it.”

"No problem, just contribute to my hometown. Anyway, I happen to be going home, and the time is right." Zhang Guan replied.

"Then there is the endorsement aspect." Zhuge Wenbo handed Zhang Guan a form and said: "Let me talk about sports brands first. At present, the prices of the two major brands Nike and Das are relatively higher. I think You can still negotiate. The price offered by Huma is also acceptable, but this brand is currently not as well-known in China as Nike and Das. As for the prices offered by the backrest and Ruibu, they are too insincere and there is no need to negotiate at all. .”

Zhang Guan thought of Manager Wang from Naike Company. They had met twice, especially the second meeting. Manager Wang’s innocent expression really made Zhang Guan feel a little sympathetic, so he said, "Try to choose Naike as much as possible." Come on, they also have a sponsorship contract with the track and field team, so there won’t be any conflict if you choose them.”

"What about the number of years? Generally speaking, such endorsement contracts tend to be long-term." Zhuge Wenbo then asked.

"Let the signing be shorter, just one or two years, no more than four years at most." Zhang Guan said. He knows that he has an incredible system. As long as he has sufficient skill points, he has achieved results in multiple sports fields, so his commercial value will be higher in the future.

"I understand that if you want to extend the time to the next Olympics, you have to pay more." Zhuge Wenbo said. As an agent, he naturally knows that in the next four years, Zhang Guan's greatest commercial value will definitely be in the year of the Capital Olympics. Therefore, if advertisers still want Zhang Guan to endorse him at the Capital Olympics, they will definitely have to add more Money.

"These are the other two endorsements. They are express delivery and Coke. The prices are not low. Both of them have a large business volume in the country and the company's brand value is also very good. I think I can sign it." Zhuge Wenbo said.

"Okay. Is there anything else?" Zhang Guan looked at the remaining forms in Zhuge Wenbo's hand.

"There are no endorsements for now, but there are a lot of advertisements." Zhuge Wenbo handed over the third form and then said: "Try to screen them. If you accept them all, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish them all in a short time."

"Baiyao aerosol is used for bruises, muscle soreness, blood stasis, swelling and pain... This is good, traditional Chinese medicine, you can ask for it. Milk, a cup of milk a day, strengthens Chinese people, and it is the first domestic brand, you can make it . Blue bottle calcium, as long as it is a regular drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration, you can do it." Zhang Guan raised his head and continued: "You can take medicines, but try not to take health care products. Those kind of things are often labeled as medicines. It’s false advertising under the banner of the People’s Republic of China, and accepting that kind of advertising is bad for your reputation.”

"Okay." Zhuge Wenbo agreed immediately.

"Throat treasure!" When Zhang Guan saw this brand, he couldn't help but think of a certain international football superstar holding a medicine box and giggling. This product tastes ok, but the commercial is pretty silly.

"This is still to be determined, don't affect the image." Zhang Guan then looked down, and the following ones were not to his liking.

"Hey, why was the last line crossed out?" Zhang Guan asked, pointing to the end.

"I had just crossed it out when I came here. It was originally an advertisement for liquor, and the asking price was not low, but I checked later and found out that the General Administration has a requirement that athletes are not allowed to endorse tobacco and alcohol advertisements, so I crossed it out. It fell." Zhuge Wenbo explained.

"The General Administration has done a good job on this, and I support it. Smoking is harmful to health. Everyone knows this. Foreign countries have already started to control it. Our country will definitely introduce some regulations on smoking control and banning smoking in a few years. This is the future trend. As for alcohol Well… "

Zhang Guan's mind flashed back to what happened when he was drunk at the Prince of Dubai's party in Athens, and he thought of her again. Then, as if he was a child who had done something wrong, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's better to avoid alcohol..."

Zhang Guan also had no leisure time after returning home. Let's not talk about shooting commercials. Just mention that various welcome celebrations held at the provincial and municipal levels took up a lot of Zhang Guan's time. He attended the unveiling ceremony of a new sports stadium, gave speeches in schools, filmed tourism promotional videos, toured the city in a car, and was even arranged to visit retired athletes.

After the Olympic delegation is disbanded, the coaches and athletes of the national teams in each event will be disbanded on the spot and returned to their respective units, that is, the professional clubs or provincial sports centers where the athletes are registered. However, some athletes are not subject to this restriction. For example, athletes of Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren's level may decline in level if they are in provincial training centers. Therefore, even if the Olympic delegation is disbanded, they must go to national-level training Center reports.

The short vacation was coming to an end soon, but Zhang Guan still tried hard to squeeze out two days for himself. He got on a plane flying to the Land of Abundance. He was going to Sichuan to find Mr. Chen.

He didn't tell anyone, but quietly came to the community where Mr. Chen lived.

"Dong dong dong..." There was a knock on the door.

"Here we come!" The response mixed with the sound of footsteps gradually approached, the door opened, and a woman in her sixties appeared in front of her.

"Who are you?" The lady obviously did not recognize Zhang Guan.

Zhang Guan took off his glasses and mask, and took off his hat.

"Oh, my God, Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan! Lao Chen! Come out quickly! Zhang Guan is here!" the lady shouted.

Then, Mr. Chen walked out. He was wearing a pair of gray shorts and a large vest, holding a cattail leaf fan in his hand, and looked at Zhang Guan in surprise.

At this moment, Zhang Guan couldn't help but shed tears. He saw his mentor again.

"Mr. Chen, I'm here..." Zhang Guan stepped forward and came to Mr. Chen, then took out his Olympic gold medal from his arms and hung it around Mr. Chen's neck.

"This... this is... this is the Olympic gold medal! It's the Olympic gold medal! It's really the Olympic gold medal." Old Chen's voice trembled. The Olympic gold medal was his lifelong dream. Although he failed to realize this dream, his disciples helped him Achieved.

Mr. Chen carefully held the gold medal with trembling hands and gently stroked every line. Tears finally slowly slipped out of his eyes and fell on the gold medal.

It’s not like Mr. Chen has never seen an Olympic gold medal, but this Olympic gold medal has a different meaning. The one who won this gold medal is his disciple, his most proud disciple! This is not only a kind of inheritance between teachers and students, but also a continuation of his sports career and a continuation of his life!

This is a very ordinary day. But for Mr. Chen, this was another most extraordinary day. On this day, this nearly seventy-year-old man finally realized his lifelong dream! He is happy, he is satisfied, and he has no regrets!

It is also on this day that many people start their dreams!

But the most people in the world are those who are struggling for their dreams, spending ordinary days on the road to pursuing their dreams, and bravely moving forward...

In fact, the important thing is that on the road to dreams, every day is extraordinary...

In the evening, Mr. Chen got drunk. Normally, Mr. Chen's medical history shouldn't allow him to drink so much, but today was special, he had to get drunk for once. Until the next morning, when Zhang Guan left, Mr. Chen was still lying on the bed, immersed in the hangover from last night.

The Olympic gold medal has been hanging around Mr. Chen's neck. Zhang Guan did not take it away. He decided to leave the gold medal to Mr. Chen.

This is Zhang Guan's first Olympic gold medal, which has unparalleled commemorative significance.

But Zhang Guan did not hesitate to give it to Mr. Chen, let alone the slightest regret. This gold medal also belongs to Mr. Chen. For Mr. Chen, this gold medal is the end of his sports career.

And Zhang Guan's game has just begun...

As for athletes not being allowed to endorse wine, I found this rule, but Liu Xiang later endorsed a certain beer, and I couldn’t figure out what was going on.

Just one chapter today, and the third volume will start tomorrow. I just got off the night shift and worked for two days and one night in a row. My mind is so mushy that I can no longer proofread the manuscript. Now I have to catch up on some sleep.
