Chapter 189 The Arrogant Sponsor

Chapter 189 The Arrogant Sponsor

After watching the Christmas battle, Mu Jianfeng quickly booked a flight back to Europe.

His original plan was to meet Jocelyn first, and then go to the coast of Spain to meet Jovetic and Semi.

Of course, both Jovetic and Semi have their own girlfriends.

Semi has now gained a firm foothold in the lower leagues.

And as a native of Florence, Semi has frequent contact with Mu Jianfeng and Jovetic on weekdays. Occasionally, when the team is on vacation, he will find them to play games together.

So the three still get together on vacation habitually.

But a phone call from Raiola forced him to change his schedule.

Because Raiola told him that his equipment sponsor finally had an idea, but the other party wanted to talk to him in person and finalize some details.

Therefore, Mu Jianfeng had no choice but to cancel the vacation arrangement.

Fortunately, Jocelyn understood him very well and did not express dissatisfaction.

As for Jovetic, Mu Jianfeng just made a phone call, but was "humiliated" by the two of them...

In fact, as early as last season, Mu Jianfeng, who had just shown his talents, had the opportunity to sign his own sponsorship contract.

It's just that Raiola pushed him away at that time.

Because Raiola believes that Mu Jianfeng's potential can be realized quickly, there is no need to covet some petty profits and lower his worth.

So in the end, the sponsorship he signed was pitifully small, and the only one was his own business...

This time, Raiola took the initiative to call him, which shows that at least he should have reached Raiola's bottom line.

……

This time, the two parties set the venue for the negotiation in an office building in Milan.

Raiola gave Mu Jianfeng a one-time appointment with two sponsor representatives, Nike and Adidas.

These two companies have enough influence almost all over the world, almost monopolizing more than 90.00% of the endorsements of sports stars.

And although some other sporting goods brands are very interested in sponsoring Mu Jianfeng, they also made preliminary contact with Raiola.

But considering the brand influence and being able to bring better protection to our customers, avoid unnecessary injuries.

Raiola still declined those sports brands that are relatively below the second tier.

In the end, it was the representative of Adidas who talked first in the morning, because the initial offer was very good, reaching 400 million euros per year!

You know, Cristiano Ronaldo, who transferred to Real Madrid for 8000 million pounds in the summer, just signed an endorsement fee in the summer of only 800 million a year.

And the other party's annual salary is 200 million euros!

Once won the Golden Globe again, still on a platform with high exposure like Real Madrid!

And what about Mu Jianfeng?

Only 100 million euros after contract renewal!

And playing in a declining Fiorentina!

The gap between the two can still be said to be very different.

But Adidas directly offered a price of 400 million euros, which made Raiola and Mu Jianfeng very interested...

But when the two sides sat at the negotiating table, Mu Jianfeng and Raiola looked at the contract provided by the representative of Adidas, but their expressions gradually sank.

"A ten-year contract?"

Raiola was the first to break the silence because he knew there was something to talk about.

Alan Smith, Adidas' negotiator, is an Englishman.

He wears gold-rimmed glasses. He is slightly bald on the top of his head, but his body is a little thin.

At this time, there was a warm smile on his face, and he looked completely non-aggressive.

On the contrary, it is more like a gentleman having dinner with old friends and sipping coffee.

But the arrogance unique to the British could not be concealed.

Hearing Raiola speak at this time, the man leaned forward a little bit, continued to maintain an elegant smile, and said:

"That's right, but I thought I should remind you, shouldn't you pay more attention to the annual fee than the length of the contract?

You know, it took me a lot of effort to get the headquarters to agree to this amount.

4000 million, which means that even if Mu's career does not meet expectations, or suffers from injuries, we will still have to pay this fee!

Isn't that fair?

After all, we also took risks. "

"Humph."

Hearing this, Raiola snorted softly, then took the contract in front of him, turned to a certain page, pointed to one of the clauses and said:

"If the risk is all on you, why is there an appearance clause?

And here...

and here..."

Representative Smith felt a little unhappy when he heard Raiola kept pointing to the contract and asking questions.

Although he already knew how difficult this damn fat pig was, he never expected that this guy's professionalism was also well-deserved.

What I pointed out were all the hidden traps in the contract. Although some clauses were originally used for bargaining, being directly picked out by the other party would still affect the subsequent negotiations.

However, he was not in a panic, because he had inquired in advance, and the highest offer from his competitor Nike was only 350 million euros, and the contract period was seven years.

And the minimum offer of 200 million for three years can be provided.

On my side, in addition to the offer of 400 million euros for ten years, I can also provide a minimum offer of 250 million euros for three years.

Whether it is the upper limit price or the lower line price, there are enough advantages.

After all, Naike has that guy, Cristiano, as his face, so the demand for football endorsement stars is not so great.

Therefore, although Mino Raiola has raised almost all the contract traps, Smith is still not in a hurry.

He continued to maintain his smile, and said tentatively:

"These are all negotiable, how about we set up a guaranteed bottom-tier price?"

Raiola glanced at Mu Jianfeng, and Mu Jianfeng had an expression on his face that you can figure out what to do.

Smith naturally noticed this too, and a bad thought arose in his heart.

Because under normal circumstances, unless the player trusts the agent extremely, otherwise, he will trust himself more on issues related to economic interests.

And then I also prepared a lot of rhetoric specifically for the players, but I didn't want to see the meaning of the Chinese youth in front of me, but he completely listened to the economic man.

This made Smith a little helpless, feeling like he was full of energy but couldn't use it.

"Mr. Smith, you didn't tell me this before, so I still need to go back and discuss it with my agent. How about I contact you later?"

Raiola got up first, stretched out his hand to Smith, and prepared to leave.

This caught Smith off guard, but his good demeanor allowed him to quickly adjust his emotions, but the muscles on his face seemed a little stiff.

When Raiola and Mu Jianfeng walked out of the negotiation one after the other, the smile on Smith's face suddenly disappeared, and then his face was livid, and he cursed in a low voice:

"Damn! Do you think you are Mr. Golden Globe!"

After a while, he called his assistant again, and ordered:

"Notify the legal counsel that the signing may be delayed, so the lawyer doesn't have to wait.

Damn, paid an extra lawyer fee! "

Finally, Smith whispered another word.

　Sorry, because it involves endorsement fees, I searched for some materials for reference in order to be as authentic as possible, but after looking around, I was distracted by the materials related to the following plot.
