86 Chapter 86
Victoria's ability to tie Beckham's heart so firmly depends not only on her beautiful face and hot body, but also because of her debut so far, her extremely high emotional intelligence has made her very popular in the circle, and she has become very popular.
For her husband, she has always been lax in her control, and she doesn't need to be aggressive or vexatious to get Beckham's support at all.
Victoria's first impression of Yan Jing was very good - this Asian man spoke well, not like the football people she remembered, and his handsome appearance always won more favor with humans.
Her husband was willing to bring her in out of trust and love for her, and she deserved to give him trust in returnβshe believed that Beckham would keep the agreement between the two.
Victoria decided to give the two big men some time to talk alone, and she stood up, smiling and apologizing.
"I'm sorry, Yan, I have to go to the bathroom to make up my makeup...... I think it will take about ten minutes. β
Yan Jing and Beckham both understood that this was Victoria's kindness and watched each other leave the private room.
As soon as Victoria left, Beckham got straight to the point.
"Yan, I'm well aware of why you're coming to me, but I think my next stop will be the LA Galaxy. β
Before he said anything, he was rejected by the heartthrob without hesitation, and Yan Jing smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Are you determined? have you stopped wanting to stay in Europe after four years in Spain?"
Beckham shook his head: "I want to continue my football career, Europe is of course the best choice. β
"But you chose the LA Galaxy instead. Yan Jing looked at the Englishman, "You're not going to do what you're supposed to do?"
"What should I do?" Beckham asked curiously, "I don't understand." β
Yan Jing's tone became serious: "Since you went to Real Madrid, people's impression of you has begun to change completely. What is the first thing that comes to mind when people think of the name Beckham now? 'heartthrob', 'gold-sucking machine'...... Maybe after that, it's the identity of a footballer. β
Yan Jing looked at Beckham's expression, and the other party still had a polite smile on his face, as if he was used to people's descriptions of himself.
'They only see your bright side, they ignore your hard work on the training ground and on the pitch, and they are biased against you because of that. If you do get to Dort, I guess the media will say...... 'Look, Borussia Dortmund brought in David Beckham, and it looks like they're going to make a big buck in the shirt business.' ββ
Beckham held the water glass in his right hand and looked at Yan Jing without saying a word.
"In the four years you've been in Spain, you've only won one Spanish Super Cup with Real Madrid, nothing else. If you want to prove yourself to the world, what could be more powerful than honors and trophies?"
"But the Dortmund fans don't think that way, they are more focused on what you can make a difference on a competitive level than about how many shirts you can sell. Our team is on the rise, and we may not be able to compare with the traditional giants in terms of heritage and economic strength, but our heart for the title is by no means weaker than any team. β
"Ribery, Villa, Yaya Toure...... I'm sure you've all heard their names. Each of them is very talented, hungry for glory, and I think you can see how competitive a group of players can be together. While that doesn't sound convincing, I promise you that none of them will leave next season. β
"I want you to know that we can give you 100% of the image rights. I invited you to play at Borussia Dortmund not because of your commercial value, but because of your talent and hard work as a player, and in my eyes you are just a good player with a thirst for glory. β
After Yan Jing finished speaking, he picked up the dark blue glass and sipped lemonade, waiting for Beckham to respond.
After a while, Beckham answered in his thin voice.
"Yan, I am very grateful for your affirmation of me. I have to say that what you said hit me in the heart completely, but sadly, I promised the LA Galaxy and Victoria...... If you had come to me earlier, maybe I would have said yes. β
was rejected for the second time, Yan Jing was still a little unwilling: "You shouldn't have signed an agreement with the galaxy yet...... you?"
"Definitely. Beckham nodded, "But I don't want to be a man of my word, and besides, the most important thing in my life is not football...... Family is the most important thing to me. β
As the saying goes, there are only three things, but Beckham has rejected him for the third time without much hesitation, and Yan Jing also knows that this trip is probably in vain.
Yan Jing sighed regretfully: "You're right, David. Maybe someone like me who hasn't started a family can't pay attention to this......"
Beckham smiled: "I only knew about you in the press before, and I was curious about what kind of person you are. It's very difficult for Asians to get a foothold in European football, especially when you're still young and leading a team to great results. Of course, I don't know much about you now, but I can only know it through my own intuitive feeling - even if you don't coach, you will definitely achieve great success in other fields. β
"Thank you, David. β
Yan Jing was about to make fun of it in the bitter mood, when Victoria came back, she pushed open the door and quietly observed the expressions of the two, and walked to her seat.
"I didn't interrupt your conversation, did I?"
Yan Jing shook his head: "Of course not." β
Victoria turned her head to look at Beckham, her husband's eyes unwavering, and she smiled with satisfaction.
"So strict, what are you looking for David this time?
"Uh......" Yan Jing was stunned, he suddenly remembered what Nick had just told him, and planned to try it downstream, "That's the case, I want to find David to endorse a new mobile phone." β
Beckham was a little surprised when he heard this, which was different from what the other party said before. He raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "What new phone?"
Seeing that Beckham reacted well, Yan Jing hurriedly took out his smartphone from his pocket and showed the two opposite how to use it.
Both Victoria and Beckham were surprised by the convenience of smartphones, and what would be the response to such a product if it were to be marketed?
Hipster Victoria loves it even more: "It's ...... I think everybody wants to have a phone like that. β
Yan Jing responded appropriately: "If you like it, I can ask the company to send two to Madrid." β
"Oh...... That's a great thank you. Victoria clearly can't wait to get a phone like no other, "but when will it be available?"
"At the end of next month. Yan Jing smiled, "Are you interested? I believe that the endorsement fee will not disappoint you." β
Victoria glanced at Beckham again. Your friend isn't from football?
Beckham gave him an innocent look in return. Hey dear, I don't know anything.
Yan Jing saw that there seemed to be a play, and decided to leave this matter to a professional to deal with.
"It's not too early, I'll have to get back to Dortmund later. Can I leave your contact details with the company so they can contact you?"
Beckham nodded: "No problem. β
The topic ended, and the waiter happened to start serving.
It was a rather pleasant dinner, and although Yan Jing failed to convince Beckham to join, he had a windfall, and Beckham was not in a very good mood, and Yan Jing's words gave him great encouragement.
And Victoria? She even wanted to convince Yan Jing to go to the entertainment industry.
Of course, Yan Jing tactfully rejected the offer.
After leaving the restaurant, Yan Jing called Nick to tell him the good news, but he didn't expect Nick to be the first to speak excitedly after picking up the phone.
"Hey, I've found the right person, and they're willing to come!"
Yan Jing couldn't bear to interrupt: "You say." β
"Rita Welbull! You must know the Red Moon in the Sea, right? Their hit single has been on Billboard for three weeks in a row. β
"......" Yan Jing felt that this world was really small.
"What's wrong? Don't tell me you don't know. Nick smacked his lips, "And what are you calling me for?"
Yan Jing shook the news out softly: "Well, this is the case. I just asked David Beckham for you, and both he and Victoria are interested in the endorsement of our company's smartphones and would like to talk more about it. β
"You're not kidding, are you?!You got in touch with Beckham so quickly?"
"If you think I'm joking, I'm going to hang up, and you're going to lose David Beckham's phone number. β
"Don't, don't, don't! Leave Beckham's number and hang up the phone!"
"Okay, okay, I'll text you later, with Beckham, are you going to invite Rita?"
"Why not? I think the combination of Beckham and Welbull is going to make all the young people feel cool!"
"Okay, you can come as you want......" Yan Jing didn't bother to intervene, "I'm going to get on the plane, and the phone has to hang up." β
"Okay, I'll probably go back to Germany next week to promote Android, and then we'll meet privately. β
"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow. β
Yan Jing hung up the phone, boarded the plane, and rushed back to Dortmund overnight.
He yawned and thought about tomorrow's workout.
Let's try to get Yaya to press forward more...... 166 Reading Network
