Chapter 148: CAA's Expansion
These future sports stars of Manchester United's 92 class have signed brokerage agreements with CAA, and many things have changed due to Wang Jie's early purchase of Innovative Elite Culture Brokerage Co., Ltd.

Wang Jie stayed in Manchester for three days, during which he invited all the staff of Manchester United Club to have a meal, Wang Jie invited Manchester United 92 class to dinner alone and couldn't help but think of the hot girls group when he saw Beckham, especially Victoria Beckham, the woman Ferguson hated most in his life.
Victoria Beckham was born on April 17, 1974, the eldest of three sisters. Her parents were engaged in electrical wholesale. When she was a child, her classmates were jealous of her, because she took a Rolls-Royce to school, and they had to take the school bus, because she was always brightly dressed, and although they looked quite energetic, their clothes were really shabby. They strike a balance in their own way: isolate her, never invite her to a corner ball, laugh at her and give her all sorts of ridiculous nicknames, beat her up, and make a big deal about the acne on her face. She countered with her own methods: spending all her time practicing singing and dancing, and staying at home at night to be a good girl. But the morning was still difficult, and when she woke up, she had to worry about "who wants to sit next to me today".
Victoria Beckham's first marriage partner was named Mark Wood, a childhood sweetheart. But the intervention of American actor Corey Hayne caused her to voluntarily wear the first engagement ring she wore in her life. She got engaged for the second time for a handsome guy named Stuart Bilton, who worked in her parents' flower shop. In March 1997, Bilton lost his job, and that year, she and David Beckham met for the first time, and nothing happened because David was shy. The second time they met, Victoria boldly took the initiative to talk to Beckham and asked him for his phone number, but Beckham was afraid that she would not actually call him, and he preferred to leave Victoria's phone number for fear of losing it, and copied them on six or seven slips of paper. In January 1998, the two announced their engagement. On March 4 of the following year, Victoria gave birth to Beckham's son, Brooklyn. On July 4, 1999, the two officially held their wedding.
Victoria Beckham was an ordinary small-town girl who dreamed of one day flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix. When "one day" really comes, she not only becomes the most beautiful and charming princess, but also wins the love of Prince Charming. Not only is she the wife of a football superstar, but she is also a maverick icon in the fashion industry, shuttling through the fashion industry and successfully launching a line of perfume, jeans and sunglasses. Her thriving performance in the fashion career has become an inspirational synonym for many actresses in the circle.
Wang Jie has no interest in this utilitarian woman, if it weren't for David Beckham's fortune, she would not have achieved so much, but Wang Jie didn't have the idea of stopping the marriage between the two, after all, everyone has their own chances, and Wang Jie doesn't want to take on any cause and effect out of thin air.
