Feng Yu has just returned to China from the United States, and this year's World Cup is over. The result was no surprise. Brazil won the championship, Ronaldinho won the Golden Boot, and Kahn won the Ballon d'Or.
When Feng Yu asked Zong Qingxian to sign Ronaldinho, Zong Qingxian was not happy. The reason was not because Ronaldinho was not famous enough at this time, but because Ronaldinho was too ugly!
Yes, Ronaldinho is an ugly guy no matter in the eyes of Westerners or Easterners. His iconic buck teeth are so unforgettable.
It was also because of this that Ronaldinho was not signed by Liangle Company, which made the China Beverage Alliance suffer a big loss. Although Ronaldinho was very skilled in football before, his popularity was very low. Many people who were not as good as him could earn several times as much as him through various advertising endorsements because of his good looks!
Therefore, the China Beverage Alliance directly signed a ten-year long-term contract with Ronaldinho, and Ronaldinho actually agreed.
The endorsement contract is not high, but it contains a number of reward clauses, motivating Ronaldinho to maintain a better competitive state, so that he can make more money.
But Feng Yu knew that the blow to Ronaldinho was more than that. Real Madrid, Europe's number one giant, had a chance to sign Ronaldinho next year, but after weighing it, they chose Beckham.
At that time, many people were confused. Ronaldinho obviously had higher potential than Beckham at this time, and he had unlimited glory in the 2002 World Cup.
But the manager of Real Madrid said that from the perspective of economic interests, Ronaldinho was too ugly and no one would be willing to buy his jersey. Even when Ronaldinho won the Golden Boot Award in 2002, not many people asked him for his autograph.
But Beckham is different. No matter in the West or the East, he is a handsome guy. Even in Africa, he has fans. Facts have proved that Real Madrid made a lot of money after buying Beckham. But this also gives Barcelona an advantage. Ronaldinho will definitely be at his peak in the next few years.
Ronaldinho is promoted as the main star. At least in Europe and South America, the sales of the China Beverage League's products have increased a lot. Only then did the two companies regret it. They didn't expect Ronaldinho to be so powerful.
But they also thought it didn't matter. Beckham and other balloon stars were all under their banner. They didn't believe it. After Ronaldinho went downhill in two years, what star would be the front man in the beverage major league? Could it be that the one who plays basketball should still be promoted? Carter
With another championship this year, Carter's popularity has increased again. Thanks to Carter, beverage sales in North America have also increased again, not to mention that summer is the peak season for beverage sales.
Ronaldinho's success also convinced Zong Qingxian that all the young athletes Feng Yu mentioned before are worthy of signing. So Zong Qingxian no longer hesitated and asked those who were sent out to contact the contract to cut the knot quickly, that is, they wanted a ten-year long-term contract with various reward terms.
A short-term contract will definitely not work. These people are not famous at this time.
At this time, Feng Yu and Wen Dongjun were sitting in a small restaurant, eating simple home-cooked food and drinking beer and chatting.
"You are really amazing. How did you know that South Korea can enter the semi-finals? Before, I thought South Korea was not much better than China."
"It is the first time for South Koreans to host the World Cup. Although it is held in partnership, it can also be regarded as one of the hosts. As a host, there is a lot of room for maneuver. For example, in this year's NBA, the Nets relied on their home court advantage to A painful lesson for the Lakers..."
Feng Yu talked about the little tricks the Nets had used, and told Wendongjun what a huge advantage the host country had.
"You mean, the South Koreans harassed those guys from the other teams?"
"This has been reported by the media, I'm not talking nonsense. And you know how serious the black whistle in South Korea is by watching TV, right? The referee's penalties are basically two scales. South Korea is about to become a full force, but there is no foul. But they They only dare to cheat until the semi-finals. If they are allowed to advance to the finals, even if they get third, those people at FIFA will be even more embarrassed!"
"Tsk, if I had known we would have applied. If it were held in our country, wouldn't we be able to make a breakthrough? You said that you finally entered the World Cup this year, but ended up having your head shaved. How much did you expect before? In order to watch the game, I But I haven't played the game yet." Wen Dongjun looked depressed.
"If you want to apply for the World Cup, you have to enter the World Cup twice. This is our first time this year, so the conditions are insufficient. Not to mention that we have just successfully applied for the Olympic Games. We must at least wait until the Olympic Games are over before we can apply for the World Cup? Every time The hosting of international events can bring huge benefits to the country, and we can’t let us take all the benefits.”
Feng Yu doesn't want to host the World Cup at home, but your team must be strong enough. You can't hold the World Cup and end up not even being qualified, right? How embarrassing would that be
"Then why can't our country's football strength improve? It is said that there are so many people in our country and so many people who like football, but why can't we select 11 people who are worthy of the competition?" Wen Dongjun sighed. He was angry, as if he was furious.
"Let me ask you, if you told Uncle Wen when you were a child that you wanted to be a football player when you grew up, what would Uncle Wen do?"
"You don't have to ask, I'll definitely slap my dream away. If it's serious, I'm afraid I'll be whipped with a wicker."
"This is the end of the world. Many families are like this. They think that playing football is just for fun and not a real job."
This is the real society. The football atmosphere in China is far inferior to that of table tennis. If you say you want to be a table tennis player, your family will definitely support you. At most, they will ask you whether you can do it or not. They will never think that you are a toy to lose your ambition.
In Europe, America, Africa, and even other countries in Asia, football players are all stars, and they are no worse than movie stars. In China, many people don't even know the names of the national team players, let alone recognize their faces.
"What should we do? Hey, you set up a basketball team in the United States and it was so successful. Why can't you set up a football team in our country? Your company is so big, how great would it be to set up a football team?" Wen Dongjun said suddenly.
Feng Yu thought about it, and it seems that the football atmosphere in China is pretty good at this time. At least with the Dongfeng entering the World Cup this year, the attendance rate of the stadium has been very good in the past two years. But it was mixed with some messy things, which later led to the Magic City championship being deprived.
"This can also be considered. I will ask Zong Qingxian later and let him contact me to buy a team. By the way, you said that all the teams will form a sports league. Can I buy this league?"
Wen Dongjun opened his mouth and dropped the peanuts on his chopsticks on the table: "What did you say? You want to form a football league?!"
