Chapter 1161: The Lion's Big Mouth
"This is okay!" Zhao Zhong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said in a loud voice.
The endorsement fee of 20 million a year is definitely a record-breaking sky-high endorsement in domestic football, throughout the history of the national football team, no athlete has ever received such a high endorsement fee, even if it was the captain of the national football team who broke into the World Cup for the first time, the largest sponsor endorsement fee he received at that time was also from Nike, but it was only more than 5 million a year, and this record has been maintained for eight years, but even so, this contract is too far from the price given by Gao Xiang.
In fact, with the current influence of the national football team in China, Nike, a top international sports manufacturer, can give a sponsorship contract, which is basically a kind of 'charity' in Zhao Zhong's view, and only a 'phenomenal' player like Duan Yun can get such a lucrative contract, and other players may not be able to enter the 'magic eye' of a manufacturer like Nike.
"Twenty million endorsement fees a year?" Duan Yun was stunned when he heard this.
"That's right. The corners of Gao Xiang's mouth hooked a curvature, only to hear him continue: "Let me make it clear, in fact, in terms of the past achievements of the national football team and the influence of the Chinese Super League, it is far from worth the price, but our company has always maintained a close cooperative relationship with the Chinese sports circle, and can give you such a lucrative contract, in fact, I also want to contribute to the future development of Chinese football, and take you as an example, so that more young people in China can enter the professional football industry......"
Gao Xiang has always maintained a condescending posture in front of Duan Yun and Zhao Zhong, there is no doubt that in his opinion, Nike is a world-renowned world-class sports businessman, and there are many famous big-name stars in world football who endorse it, and to give Duan Yun such a sponsorship contract to a newcomer who has just entered football and is still unknown is just a 'charity' for him, mainly considering that Duan Yun is now the youngest captain of the national football team, and the future can still be 'expected'......
"If there is no problem, our branch in Jianghu will soon arrange an endorsement signing ceremony, and some reporters from international football media will be invited to be present at that time. Gao Xiang smiled slightly, and then said: "When the time comes, you will be exposed in the world's major sports media, this opportunity is not for no Chinese athletes, and the contract stipulates that you also need to actively cooperate with the company's various promotional activities in the future, and when you need to appear, you must be on call without any delay......
"Wait a minute!" Duan Yun frowned when he heard this, and only heard him say: "I haven't planned to sign this endorsement contract yet, shouldn't we discuss the content and price of the contract again." ”
"What?" Gao Xiang's face changed suddenly when he heard this.
As the so-called store bully customers, backed by a world-class top brand like Nike, Gao Xiang has always been proud to be the vice president of Asia.
In his opinion, in addition to the national table tennis athletes in the domestic sports circle, the athletes in other sports are not worth his attention at all, after all, there are many top athletes in the world under Nike, and the domestic sports stars are too far away from foreign sports superstars, whether it is the number of fans or the popularity in the world, and it is not worth his high look.
As for him signing a contract with Duan Yun today, as long as it is considered that the ratings of the Chinese Super League are gradually rising, and Duan Yun is the youngest captain in the history of the national football team, he has a certain commercial potential value, so he decided to let Duan Yun endorse him after the company's research.
But in any case, in his opinion, giving a football newcomer like Duan Yun an endorsement of 20 million a year is already a sky-high price, which is enough to make Duan Yun grateful, but he didn't expect Duan Yun to agree to sign the contract immediately after thanking him, which made Gao Xiang a little unhappy.
You must know that in addition to foreign aid, there are only a handful of players in the domestic league who earn more than 10 million a year, and Nike's endorsement of 20 million a year is almost twice as much, which is an unimaginable huge income for any domestic player.
"Duan Yun ......" Seeing that Gao Xiang's expression was a little wrong, Zhao Zhong on the side hurriedly pulled Duan Yun to his side and said softly: "This price is something I finally won for you, it's already very high, it's time to sign it, it's not easy to find a second ...... for such a big endorsement contract."
In Zhao Zhong's view, Nikeken's price of 20 million a year for Duan Yun is already a great 'favor', after all, with the current influence of the Chinese Super League and the national football team, this price is considered to be the sky.
It's just that neither Zhao Zhong nor Gao Xiang expected that Duan Yun's net worth is now hundreds of millions, and the endorsement fee of 20 million a year is no longer tempting, and this contract still has various requirements for Duan Yun's daily frame.
"Thirty million a year! I won't sign it below this price!" Duan Yun ignored Zhao Zhong's dissuasion, and said to Gao Xiang very simply.
"Hehe, I said Mr. Duan, do you really dare to open your mouth?" Gao Xiang unabashedly showed a look of disdain on his face when he heard this, only to hear him continue: "Do you know what it means to be 30 million RMB a year?
"Lao Gao, what did you say...... Duan Yun is still young and ignorant, so I'll help him call the shots......" Seeing this, Zhao Zhong hurriedly said to Gao Xiang with a smile on his face.
"I think I'm totally worth the price. Duan Yun raised his eyebrows, and then said: "In addition, I want to correct it, the price I want is not 30 million RMB a year, but US dollars! In addition, we have to talk about the details of the contract, I may not have much time to cooperate with your company's publicity activities......
"Do you think you are a world-class star?" Hearing this, Gao Xiang's face flashed with anger, and then said: "Young man, let me tell you, don't take yourself too seriously! Some stars beg our company to sign endorsements, and players of your level can't rank abroad at all!"
"They begged you to sign a contract, that's their business, and that's the price for me! Don't talk about it for a penny less!" Duan Yun said as the corners of his mouth curled up and looked directly at Gao Xiang.
"Hmph!" Gao Xiang snorted coldly when he heard this, and got up to leave the reception room.
"Hey, President Gao, don't you leave?" Seeing that Gao Xiang was leaving, Zhao Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to try to keep people.
"Let him go. Duan Yun grabbed Gao Xiang and continued: "In the future, if such a big manufacturer asks me to endorse, if it is less than 30 million US dollars a year, you won't have to bother me!
