Chapter 123: Little Japan Is Too Rich!

After the Bayi team got the ticket to the "World Men's Basketball Club Championship", Wu Jie also helped Bayern defeat Eintracht Frankfurt 3:2 at home.

There weren't too many twists and turns in the game, with Bayern playing 2-2 with Eintracht Frankfurt in the first 75 minutes, which was enough for them to win the league title two rounds ahead of schedule.

But Wu Jie didn't get a hat-trick today, so with the help of the whole team, Wu Jie finally helped Bayern open the door of Frankfurt again with a long-range shot before the end of the 90-minute game.

At the end of the game, 80,000 Bayern fans sang together to sing the newly learned "Forever· Number· ONE, celebrating the team's first-ever treble.

But the climax of this celebration is Wu Jie's personal performance of "Forever· Number· One", as well as his other two English songs, ended up like a concert.

In addition to making more headlines in the newspapers, Wu Jie's main reason is that he will return to China in two days and will not be able to participate in Bayern's championship celebration.

That's why the whole team will help him score as many goals as possible in this game, and he should be thanked for his contribution in this half season.

Wu Jie has no interest in participating in the celebration at all, and he will not be able to return to China until the end of the month to play the entire league, and he still wants to join the training camp as soon as possible, how can he continue to play in the last two insignificant leagues.

Bayern did not force him to attend the celebrations, and the next day they arranged for fitness coach Björn Andrew, scout Martin Kyle, and deputy commercial director Jochen Schmidt to accompany him back to China.

Wu Jie didn't want to bring so many people, he felt that it would be enough to let the physical trainer Bjorn Andrew follow.

This bald guy does have a set of things in physical training, and by the way, he can also let him coach those half-baked coaches of the national team.

Of course, Bayern can't just let a bald guy follow Wu Jie, they have a good reason, sending scouts to scout young players in China, and the deputy head of business is to talk to the Chinese Football Association about some business cooperation.

When Wu Jie heard these reasons, he naturally didn't want to say anything more, so he could only let the three followers return to China with him.

But by the time I arrived at the airport two days later, the group was in the double digits.

His personal assistant Date naturally wants to be with him, and all business matters are found by MSM company first, and then his assistant combs and reports, otherwise how can he have time to receive so much information?

His agent, Felix, including another new member of the private team, will also travel with him to China this time.

The new member, Ishii, is known as a Japanese from the name, just 36 years old, and is specially recruited by MSM from a Japanese agency to be responsible for Wu Jie's business negotiations and media relations in Asia except China.

MSM has apparently used Wu Jie as a cash cow for the company, and now has agents in Europe, the Americas, and Asia who specialize in business negotiations and media PR, and only serve Wu Jie.

In addition to two agents and an assistant, the German Polygram headquarters also sent a senior executive to accompany him, and Adidas also sent a senior executive to discuss the issue of jersey sponsorship with the Chinese team.

The people sent by Adidas have little to do with him, at most they are on the way.

This guy named Roman is the new general manager of Hong Kong PolyGram, and he needs to synchronize Hong Kong PolyGram and the head office in Wu Jie's publicity and album production, and at the same time prepare to upgrade the recording studio equipment of the Hong Kong branch, so that Wu Jie can record albums in Hong Kong in the future.

Hong Kong singers should be grateful to Wu Jie, Polygram headquarters originally did not pay much attention to the Hong Kong branch, and the recording studio equipment there was all obsolete and tattered.

But now after signing the contract with Wu Jie, the positioning of the Hong Kong branch is immediately different.

Wu Jie spends half of the year in China, and in order to make it easier for Wu Jie to record while in China, they naturally raised the level of the Hong Kong branch by a few levels.

Now that Wu Jie is going to Hong Kong again, all the singers under Hong Kong Polygram really have to call him big brother, or call him dad.

On June 4, Wu Jie arrived in Japan first.

This trip was a direct flight from Munich to Japan, then to Hong Kong, and finally back to China.

Ishii Shu has worked in a Japanese brokerage company for more than ten years, and naturally has a lot of contacts, especially after hearing that he has become Wu Jie's agent, many large Japanese companies have found him.

Half a year ago, the Japanese media was still in a semi-cold state for Wu Jie, then they knew that no one in Japan could compare with Wu Jie, in order not to hit the self-confidence of domestic fans and players, but also because of the inexplicable sense of superiority formed in the past hundred years, they have always been very resistant to China's outstanding talents.

But the situation has changed in the past two months, mainly because Wu Jie's performance in the Bundesliga is too good, so good that the Japanese media feel that not to mention now, even in a few decades, there may not be a Japanese player who can compare with Wu Jie.

At this time, the Japanese media began to weaken Wu Jie's identity as a "Chinese", emphasizing his identity as an "Asian" and "yellow".

In this way, Japan, which is also a yellow race, is no longer so resistant to Wu Jie, and some media have also used Wu Jie's yellow identity to begin to instill in the young generation in China the view that "yellow people are not inferior to whites and blacks in athletic talent", and if you don't believe it, Wu Jie is the best proof.

This kind of publicity has made Wu Jie's popularity soar in Japan, especially after Japanese TV bought the broadcast rights of the Champions League quarterfinals, Wu Jie's wonderful performance in the Champions League made his popularity in Japan almost exploded.

He not only has a frenzied performance in the European arena, but also has the best looks and figure in the field of sports, which has made countless Japanese people begin to frantically pursue this Asian light.

Wu Jie was not so surprised by his popularity in Japan, but after seeing the guidance of public opinion by the Japanese media, he could only sigh + sigh in his heart.

Forty years after the original plane, every time Chinese sports fail, the most popular voice after the game is ethnography, and even once the bullshit e-sports loses to a foreign team, there are also countless people advocating the superiority of Western races.

He wondered, the hating party and the leading party are mental illnesses, do these hating parties want to rip off their skin?

Now that he saw that Japan knew 40 years ago that it would use public opinion to increase national self-confidence, he could only secretly scold that the Chinese media was really a bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimp!

"Lao Tzu must invest in the media in the future!"

Wu Jie secretly made up his mind that he would never let Wei Zhentian's incident happen in the future.

However, the Japanese do not make money in vain, and the main purpose of this visit to Japan is to discuss business.

Although Japan has not yet reached the age of buying the United States, it is already "very rich"!

In the following days, accompanied by Ishii, he met with representatives of Honda, Mazda, and Suzuki.

The first meeting between the two parties was certainly not an immediate business deal, and the three car manufacturers invited him to a high-end restaurant and then a tour of the car factory.

Of course, Wu Jie didn't have time to visit, but he wouldn't refuse to eat for nothing.

It's just that the two sides don't mention anything about cooperation, they are touting each other!

As for the commercial negotiations, of course, it is up to the broker to do it.

"Honda is giving a two-million-dollar one-year contract? The sincerity is the highest among the three. ”

After Wu Jie heard the returns of the two brokers, he knew how rich the Japanese company was.

The three manufacturers of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Volkswagen in Germany, MSM have been in contact with them for a long time, but the highest offer is one million dollars a year.

This is the first time we have been in contact with a Japanese automaker, and there will definitely be room for price improvement if we continue to talk about it.

After that, he and his two agents met with representatives of Sony, Nintendo, Hitachi, Sanyo, Ajinomoto, Kao, Shiseido, and other companies.

Nintendo is willing to offer him a price of $5 million for five years to invite him to become the company's global spokesperson, Ajinomoto and Yakult also offer a price of $4 million for five years, and are willing to help him pay to buy out the contract of Hong Kong Maxim's Company.

Sony is even more ruthless here, Akio Morita personally invited Wu Jie to dinner, hoping to invite him to become a global spokesperson for 6 years at a price of 10 million US dollars.

The quotations of these companies are not bad, but Wu Jie still does not plan to consider Sony, Honda, Mazda, Hitachi, and Sanyo, because the conditions offered by the Mitsui chaebol are higher.

Wu Jie spent a whole week in Japan, and finally narrowed down his target to a few chaebols with his team, and in the end it was the Mitsui Group that offered the most generous conditions.

The price offered by the Mitsui Group is that he signed contracts with its subsidiaries Toshiba, Toyota, Nippon Life Insurance, and Mitsukoshi Department Store, becoming the global spokesperson of these four companies.

He would then receive a hefty $10 million per year contract from the four companies, plus a 150-square-meter luxury apartment in Minato-ku, Tokyo, provided by Mitsui Fudosan Shodos.

Wu Jie secretly said in his heart: Do you still need to choose this TM?

After signing contracts with these companies under the Mitsui Group, he can also win the contracts of Nintendo, Ajinomoto and Kao, because the business of these three companies does not conflict with the Mitsui Group.

"Made, on this trip to Japan, I can finally become the richest man in the mainland after returning to China, right?"

Wu Jie was also surprised by the harvest of his trip to Japan, and he could only say that Little Japan in this era was too rich.

Ishii didn't go to China with him, he needed to get the agency contract with these companies, and of course the price had to be raised a little more, at least to increase the size of the apartment to more than 200 square meters.

There are also smaller companies that are also looking to work with Wu Jie.

But don't think that these smaller companies don't have money, many Japanese companies in this era spend more money than nouveau riche, and even a lot of unbelievable things have happened.

He remembered that after the Plaza Accord, an American building was going to be sold to the Japanese for $400 million, and the two sides waited for the Japanese to pay for it after the two sides negotiated it.

But the Japanese suddenly brought a new contract book, and the price written on it was 610 million.

The Americans were baffled, and the Japanese explained that their boss had seen in the Guinness Book of World Records the first day that the highest price ever sold for a single building was $600 million, and they wanted to break the record.

This kind of thing was not uncommon in those years, Wu Jie knew that Japan in 1981 was still on the eve of madness, and the real madness was after 1985.

The Plaza Accord was signed, the yen began to appreciate, and the ability of industrial exports was greatly affected, but the Japanese became richer than ever.

At that time, they could exchange their yen for more dollars, and as a result, American assets suddenly seemed much cheaper to the Japanese, and what they used to think they could not afford now seemed to be readily available.

In those years, the Japanese only bought the most expensive things, not the best ones, and they wanted to buy the whole of America back.

His global influence will definitely be much greater by then than it is now, and when the time comes, will a contract rush to tens of millions of dollars?

In case of a die-hard fan of a super tyrant, is it possible to sign a contract for hundreds of millions of dollars?
