Although Li Mu is just an ordinary football enthusiast, in this era, he is the best scout in the world.
A football player's golden career lasts only about ten years, and Li Mu's coverage of future memories slightly exceeds this number. If football players follow the normal generation method, every four years, that is, every World Cup year, can be counted as a generation of players. node.
In other words, every four years, a new generation is born in the world of football. Calculating this, Li Mu’s memory can start from now and cover the next three generations of emerging players.
Among the next three generations of young players, Li Mu knows exactly who can grow into the world's top players.
This ability cannot be matched by any football coach.
Because of this, Li Mu must ensure that the team's player introductions fully comply with his own decisions. Only in this way can he ensure that everyone he introduces is a good player.
In addition to ensuring the decision-making power to introduce players, Li Mu also told CEO Alister: "From now on, all advertising sponsorships of the club will stop renewing. Those who have signed the agreement will all pay liquidated damages according to the contract and terminate the cooperation reasonably and legally." , starting from this season, all the club’s advertising sponsorships will be arranged by me, and theoretically, all will be absorbed by my company.”
For a club like Manchester City that has always been tepid, the income from advertising sponsorship will not be too high, which means that the liquidated damages will not be too high. Therefore, we should pay a liquidated damages and drive out all these advertising sponsors. The car is well worth it.
Moreover, breach of contract does not mean that there is no spirit of contract. After all, the breach of contract clause is also part of the contract. As long as the breach of contract clause can be respected and strictly implemented, it is another manifestation of compliance with the contract.
If the contract stipulates that one million U.S. dollars in liquidated damages need to be paid, then give the other party a cent of one million U.S. dollars. Just like a player transfer, if the contract with the former club has not expired, as long as the payment is made in accordance with the signed agreement, Liquidated damages can immediately terminate the contract in a reasonable and legal manner.
The reason why Li Mu wants to clear out all the advertising sponsors of Manchester City Club is for no other reason than to leave all advertising resources to his own industry. This is the most cost-effective way to digest them.
Moreover, once the outside world knows that Manchester City Club has become its own industry, then the overall exposure of Manchester City Club will definitely usher in explosive growth. At that time, it will be a good time for me to join forces with Manchester City Club.
Makino Technology, Taobao, Alipay, and even Wanying Real Estate, Wanying Plaza, Gubei Water Town and Wanying Film and Television Base will all have the opportunity to become Manchester City's advertising sponsors. Such a bundled combination can achieve a greater than 1+1 2 effect.
As the CEO of Manchester City, Allister is also very aware of the industry rules. At this time, it is the best choice for the club to legally withdraw the original advertising sponsor according to the terms of the contract, so he immediately said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, please don't worry. Let’s start this matter today and complete the termination of the contract as soon as possible.”
Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Manchester City is a football club with a long history. I will definitely support you all in the future and work with you to build Manchester City into a first-class football club in the UK and even the world. During this period, I hope that Everyone here, including me, can work together and work together.”
Everyone clapped excitedly. With a boss like Li Mu, everyone firmly believed that the club was about to take off.
Li Mu then said to head coach Kevin Keegan: "Kevin, do you know Cristiano Ronaldo that Manchester United just signed this year?"
"Cristiano?" Kevin Keegan was just slightly startled, and then said immediately: "I know this young man, his talent and strength are indeed very good, he has the shadow of a first-line player at a young age, and His transfer value seems to be over 12 million pounds, which is already a sky-high price for a young player who is just 18 years old."
Li Mu nodded and asked him: "Do you know where he is now? Has he been to Manchester United?"
Kevin Keegan shook his head slightly and asked his assistant: "Fendy, has Cristiano arrived at Manchester United?"
"It's already here." The middle-aged man known as Fendi nodded and said: "The day before yesterday, a friend of mine went to Manchester United to watch his training. Tomorrow is Manchester United's first game of the season, and he is likely to come on as a substitute."
Li Mu blurted out: "Find a way to contact Cristiano's agent and tell him that I want Cristiano's contract. If he is interested, ask him to bring Cristiano to see me."
Kevin Keegan blurted out: "Now?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "The sooner, the better."
…
At this moment, Manchester United's Carrington training base is two kilometers away.
18-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo is doing daily training with other teammates on the court.
He has just joined Manchester United at a young age and has just arrived in the UK. He has not yet fully adapted to the life and training here.
However, the young Cristiano Ronaldo works harder than any other player on the field. He hopes that he can prove his strength in the Premier League, and he also hopes that he can become a great football player.
Cristiano Ronaldo was greatly touched by the news he saw in the dormitory before training. The Chinese genius Li Mu, who he had always admired, the genius Li Mu who created the Internet industry and even the entire business miracle, was actually at Buckingham Palace today. , received the Grand Cross of the Order of Merit from the Queen.
This is the highest honor in the Imperial Order. Even their head coach, the great Sir Alex Ferguson, only received KBE, which is a level lower than Li Mu.
Cristiano Ronaldo was inspired by this.
He feels that Li Mu is only a few years older than him and can achieve such great achievements. If he goes all out, although it is impossible to catch up with him in a few years, he will certainly be able to achieve achievements in the field of football that will impress the world.
On the way to the training ground, many Manchester United players were discussing Li Mu’s awarding of the GBE. One of the British players complained loudly about this. He felt that Li Mu was completely unqualified to receive the GBE, or even any other awards. An imperial medal, I think Li Mu is nothing more than rich, and it is even possible that he bought this medal with money.
Cristiano Ronaldo refuted the teammate he had just met on the spot, saying: "Li Mu is not only the richest man in the world, he is also the most accomplished young man in the world, and more importantly, he is the most A well-known young man who is most recognized by the world, I think he is fully worthy of this medal."
The British player was very dissatisfied with Cristiano Ronaldo's words. He accused Cristiano Ronaldo in public and said: "You are not British, so you don't understand the British's admiration for the Grand Cross. "
Cristiano Ronaldo also choked without giving in: "Before coming out, the BBC broadcast live random interviews with passers-by. British passers-by praised Li Mu's award of GBE by more than 80%, and the vast majority of British people approved it. Why do you think Li Mu is not qualified?"
At this time, other British players in the team also expressed their support for Cristiano Ronaldo very much:
Someone said: "I also think Li Mu is fully qualified. Britain is only a country of tens of millions of people, but Li Mu has affected the lives of hundreds of millions or even billions of people. His achievements cannot be represented by an imperial medal." "
Someone else said: "I think with Li Mu's achievements, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets any medals."
Someone else said: "I even think that with Li Mu's achievements, he doesn't care about this medal at all. While we are still here discussing whether he is qualified to receive this medal, he may have thrown this medal into the trash can." went."
Everyone burst into laughter at the time. Although it was just a joke, no one except the player who fiercely defended the status and dignity of the empire felt that there was anything wrong with this sentence.
Cristiano Ronaldo thought about this on the court, and his admiration for Li Mu increased a little more.
An eighteen-year-old boy is at the stage when he needs a beacon of life the most. Eighteen-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo regards Li Mu as his beacon of life.
Just as Cristiano Ronaldo lobbed a ball into the net, a familiar figure appeared on the sidelines of the court. That person was his agent Jorge Mendes.
Jorge Mendes is a shining star in the football capital market. He founded the company Gestifoot, which has a huge influence in the European football market. At the same time, he single-handedly discovered Cristiano Ronaldo and transferred Cristiano Ronaldo from Sporting Lisbon. Successfully sent to Manchester United, and then he sent Mourinho to Chelsea. At the same time, he was deeply involved in a large number of transfer cases in the European market. Although many top players played in various leagues around the world, their agency contracts were signed by him. under the company.
Just half an hour ago, Jorge Mendez suddenly received a call from Davidson, the leader of the Goldberg family. For a person like Jorge Mendez who specializes in brokering, he is very important to the rich and big families in Europe. , nobles, and he has been active among these upper-class people, so he knows Davidson very well.
Although Jorge Mendes is well-known in the European football industry, in terms of size and social influence, he is just a small shrimp in front of Davidson. Therefore, when he received a call from Davidson, he was flattered.
Jorge Mendes originally thought that the Goldberg family had just bought the Manchester City club, and Davidson must be looking for him to cooperate with him in the field of football, such as player transfers, etc., so he was very excited and looked forward to having a discussion. This future big customer never expected that Davidson would actually tell him a piece of information on the phone that made his jaw drop.
Davidson told him that the real owner of Manchester City Club was not the Goldberg family, but the famous Li Mu.
Moreover, Li Mu is now at Manchester City Club!
What stunned Davidson even more was that Davidson told him that Li Mu was very interested in Cristiano Ronaldo and hoped that Jorge Mendes could bring Cristiano Ronaldo to meet him.
In front of Davidson, Jorge Mendez was just a little shrimp. In front of Li Mu, Jorge Mendez could only be regarded as a plankton.
Now, I, a plankton, was summoned by Li Mu...
Jorge Mendes was very excited to have the opportunity to face Li Mu. Fortunately, he was in Manchester at the moment, so he rushed to Manchester United's Carrington training base as quickly as possible. He wanted to take Cristia with him. Let’s go together with Ronaldo to meet the real super god Li Mu!
