Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning revealed in and out of the words was obvious, and this Manager Li was actually a little worried about whether Blackburn could be promoted. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, it is true, as he says, that no team can be sure that they will be able to emerge from the 46 teams after a long season.

"No problem, this can be written into the contract, and if we can't get promoted to the Premier League, the sponsorship amount can be halved or even abolished." Arthur exited, and the final word was on the issue.

Manager Li was obviously very satisfied with this answer, and said with a smile, "Mr. Walker is really a promise, so as for the introduction of Chinese players, I don't know how you think about it?" ”

"As far as I know, this winter transfer, your club has brought in a young international player named Sun Jihai from our country." Manager Li continued, "Therefore, your club must also have some understanding of the strength of our national players, and it will definitely be helpful for your club to reach the Super League and then compete in the Premier League." ”

"I don't think it's a big deal if it's just bringing in Chinese players, but I'm afraid Manager Li is asking for more than that, right? For example, in terms of the number of appearances and time, I am afraid that you have requirements, right? Arthur said sharply.

Manager Li fell into deep thought, as if he was considering. He had to admit that Arthur's words directly asked the key part, if it was just to send two Chinese players to Blackburn, but if it didn't get the opportunity to play, then it would be useless for further continuous promotion in the country.

Arthur is not in a hurry, although it is the first time to talk about business, but he has never eaten pork and has always seen pigs running, so he has to give people some time to consider.

After waiting for a long time, after discussing with other colleagues in the same industry, Manager Li spoke again: "In this regard, we think that it should be written into the contract, and it must appear ten times, with a total time of no less than 500 minutes. ”

"Manager Li's question is a bit inconsistent." Arthur said with a smile, "I said that the game was full of uncertainties, and now it is interfering with our team's line-up, which will inevitably affect our Blackburn Rovers' results. ”

After a short and friendly negotiation, the two parties finally formed a final sponsorship contract.

"Manager Li, this is the contract we just drafted, please take a look." Abby pushed the contract that had just been printed in front of Manager Li.

It is a sponsorship contract for advertising on the chest of the shirt for a two-year fee of £2 million per year.

There are two annex clauses, the first of which is that if the sponsor Blackburn Rovers are unable to qualify for promotion to the Premier League at the end of the season, the sponsorship fee for the second year will be halved.

The second is that Kejian will send two members of the Chinese national team to Blackburn Rovers during this season's League One winter transfer period (the specific selection will be decided by Blackburn's coaching staff), and Kejian will be responsible for the wages of the two Chinese players this season, and Blackburn will need to ensure that the two players have a total of 300 minutes of playing time this season.

Manager Li's translator and legal counsel read the contract on the side. Ten minutes later, the legal counsel of the company confirmed that there was no problem with the contract, so he nodded to Manager Li.

Manager Li and Arthur Qian gave in, and then the two signed their names and stamped their official seals on the two contracts, and the sponsorship contract was officially reached.

"We'll be a family from now on." Manager Li laughed and took the initiative to shake hands with Arthur again.

Although it is still a smiling face, the smile already contains a bit of affection, which fully shows the essence of a businessman.

Arthur stood up, smiled charmingly, and said lightly, "I wish us a happy cooperation!" ”

"Then I hope that your company can prepare as soon as possible, and in the next step, we will send a team led by sports director Monchi to observe the players in your league, hoping to select two international players suitable for our club as soon as possible." Arthur said with a smile while shaking hands with Manager Li.

"No problem, it's all about our company." Manager Li also patted his chest and reassured.

"We believe in the strength of your company!"

"Recently, the name of the former Premier League king Blackburn has been frequently associated with China, first the largest local newspaper in Lancashire "County Newspaper" reported that China's Shenzhen Kejian Company purchased the news of Blackburn's team next season's badge advertisement, and then the domestic media widely reported the news, about the Chinese international, especially the first choice Li Weifeng in the mind of Kejian, is about to join Blackburn Rover's rumors were hot.

For this reason, our reporter decided to visit Blackburn Rovers Club, which had been silent until now.

Due to work reasons, our reporter had a good relationship with the staff of the marketing department of the Blackburn Club and with their help, they contacted Miss Abby, the director of the club's media relations department, on Monday afternoon. Miss Abby readily agreed to be interviewed on Tuesday morning, and asked my reporter to make a list of questions to send to her, so that she could prepare in advance.

The editors of our newspaper put together a list of questions, mainly about Kejian and Chinese players, and sent it to Blackburn Rovers on Monday night.

Early Tuesday morning, just as our reporter was about to leave for Blackburn, Miss Abby suddenly called and said that after reading our reporter's list of questions, she had urgently consulted with the club's commercial director, and thought that it was inappropriate to be interviewed by our reporter on such a "sensitive" topic at this time, because they had an agreement with "that company" and could not disclose any information to the outside world until the contract was signed.

When our reporter asked if "that company" was China's science and health company, Miss Abby did not answer directly, but said that it would all come to light next week, and it would be against the rules for her to disclose any news to me before the official news came out.

When asked by our reporter about the introduction of Chinese players, she said: "I can't answer this question for the time being, because it is also stipulated in our agreement with 'that company', and we cannot disclose any other information related to this." ”

Our reporter immediately asked, "Is this sponsor related to the transfer of players?" Miss Abby was embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I still can't tell." In short, I can't say anything about China until next week. ”

Apparently hearing the disappointment of our reporter on the phone, Miss Abby said apologetically: "I know it sounds funny, but I really can't say anything until it's all settled, because that's what 'that company' is asking for." I don't know why there are so many rumors about this in China, but we can guarantee that these rumors are not made from us, and you are the first Chinese journalist to contact our club through official channels. ”

Miss Abby further said: "Fortunately, things won't drag on for long, and if it goes well, we can officially sign the contract next week, and I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have." ”

"Yesterday, with the signing of a contract with the former king of the English Premier League, Blackburn Rovers at Beijing International Club, China Kejian Co., Ltd. officially replaced AMD as Blackburn's latest sponsor, and Kejian will invest a total of 4 million pounds in two years to become the first company in China to cooperate with a European football league. For two seasons starting in August this year, the Kejian logo will appear in English league competitions.

At this point, the long-rumored sponsorship of Blackburn has finally settled. According to the agreement signed by the two parties, during the cooperation period, in addition to Kejian's sponsorship of Blackburn's jersey advertising, two Chinese players will also be sent to Blackburn Rovers to play in League One, domestic cup competitions, and even the Premier League, which is very likely next season.

It is reported that the official press conference of "Kejian's sponsorship of Blackburn" will be held on July 17 at the International Club Hotel outside Jianguomen in Beijing. At that time, if all goes well, CCTV's "Football Night" will also cooperate with Kejian to increase coverage of the Premier League. ”

-- The first edition of the Football Herald, October 25

"It has been determined that the head of the marketing department of Blackburn Club will definitely attend the press conference, and Kejian is likely to be a team led by Chairman Hao Jianxue. At the same time, reporters from nearly 100 media outlets across the country will also participate.

The press conference is being organized by the public relations agency of the internationally renowned IPG, and not from IMG (International Management Group), as some media have claimed.

Despite the media attention, various reports about the matter have been circulating, but according to people familiar with the matter, the most important thing is that which two internationals will land at Blackburn has not yet been finalized, and the time of the press conference has been changed from the original date of October 26 to 27, which is also related to the delay in the players.

According to analysis, Blackburn's cooperation with Kejian is not only due to the consideration of team personnel, but also the huge potential of the Chinese market is also a great temptation for them.

According to reliable sources, representatives of the Ministry of Science and Health have been in contact with CCTV's "Football Night" at the end of June. If there are international players joining the Premier League, Kejian will invite CCTV film crews to the UK from time to time to shoot, so that the training and life of Chinese players in the UK will appear on the CCTV screen for the first time.

The two sides also discussed a possible cooperation after Blackburn Rovers were promoted to the Premier League next season, and reached a preliminary agreement. At the same time, when the local TV station broadcasting the Premier League chooses the number of games, it will naturally follow the trend and choose the games that may have international players, and the advertising effect on Kejian's chest will also be greatly enhanced. ”
