Chapter 193: The Desperate German Giant

Even though the signing conditions given by well-known companies such as Adi, Naike, and LN are very attractive, due to Fengquan's previous endorsement contract with the "King of Running Shoes" company, which will not expire until June 2013, Zhao Shijie has no choice but to temporarily refuse their "kindness" one by one.

However, to Zhao Shijie's surprise, just a week after he expressed his "refusal" to Adi, Gary Gao, the managing director of Adi Greater China, actually found him in person.

Although it has long been clear that Fengquan's sports brand endorsement contract will expire in more than half a year, after meeting with Zhao Shijie, Gary Gao told the other party straight to the point: "After discussions with the German head office, we are ready to re-provide Feng with a five-year, 30 million euros (the initial offer was 20 million for five years)." ā€

When Zhao Shijie heard Gary Gao say the contract amount provided by Adi Company for Fengquan, his mouth immediately grew in surprise. You must know that even Leonel Messi, the number one star in today's football, only gets an endorsement fee of 6 million euros from Adi every year.

Therefore, in Zhao Shijie's view, Adi's ability to raise such a sky-high contract for Feng Quan, a "rookie" player who has just switched to football, has shown the sincerity of the other party.

And the reason why Adi Company will provide Feng Quan with a sky-high contract that is equivalent to Messi's sky-high price is also based on its own considerations.

In fact, long before Fengquan signed a contract with the "King of Running Shoes", Adi Company had the intention of signing a contract with it. However, because Feng Quan was still only a "novice" at that time, he was only a "novice" who broke the national record. Therefore, when he put forward the request of "only signing a one-year contract", Adi Company made the decision to "give up this boy who does not know the height of the sky".

However, what Adi never expected was that just a few months later, Feng Quan not only won the two heaviest gold medals in track and field at the London Olympics, but also broke the world record in the 100-meter dash at the end of August.

However, just when Adi Company was preparing to sign Fengquan again, it was revealed that he was banned by the Athletics Management Center.

However, just after Adi made the decision to "give up Fengquan" for the second time, the "king of sprinting" who switched to football actually contributed a terrifying statistic of scoring 6 goals and completing 6 assists in 6 rounds of the league.

Therefore, it is reminiscent of 28 years ago, after the painful experience of missing Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, which indirectly "fulfilled" his biggest rival Naike. In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, the headquarters of Adi issued an order to Gary Gao to "take the wind at all costs".

In fact, if you take into account Feng Quan's special status as a "crossover athlete", coupled with the huge Chinese market behind it, the endorsement amount given by Adi Company is not a "sky-high contract".

Although the average amount of 6 million euros per year has made Fengquan reach the level of "equal" with Messi. However, if compared with the 900 euros of endorsement fees received by Usain Bolt from Drifting Horse every year, Fengquan's "cost performance" is very valued.

――――――

"First of all, I am very grateful to Adi Company for its love for Fengquan. But I'm sorry that due to the fact that Fengquan's contract with the "King of Running Shoes" company has not yet expired, we can only wait until July next year to cooperate with your company. Zhao Shijie declined with a smile on his face.

As soon as Zhao Shijie's words fell, Gary Gao said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, please believe that our company is very sincere in signing a contract with Feng. So, if it's convenient, can you please tell us how much the default amount is between Wind and the 'King of Running Shoes' company? ā€

Although the contract amount provided by Adi Company for Fengquan was already very attractive, when Gary Gaohua asked him about the "amount of liquidated damages", as a senior agent who has been in the industry for more than ten years, Zhao Shijie immediately realized: "Perhaps, I can also fight for greater benefits for Fengquan......

Thinking of this, Zhao Shijie smiled and said, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Gary. Since there are many legal issues involved in the details of the contract, I cannot disclose to you the specific amount of liquidated damages. ā€

After a pause, Zhao Shijie's eyes glanced at Gary Gao, who was sitting opposite him, and after finding that there was no obvious change on the other party's face, he continued: "If your company can increase the price of the contract a little, I think Feng Quan can probably consider paying liquidated damages to the 'King of Running Shoes' company." ā€

Because before meeting Zhao Shijie, he had already received a promise from the head office that "as long as the average annual endorsement amount does not exceed 10 million euros, you can make a decision directly". Therefore, when Zhao Shijie revealed to himself the meaning of "as long as the offer is raised, you can sign a contract", the smile on Gary Gao's face suddenly became a little thicker.

"Well, this shouldn't be a problem. So, please tell me about the amount of your intention? ā€

"I think you probably know what kind of contract Usain Bolt has signed with your company's competitor, Drifting Horse, right?" Zhao Shijie said with a smile. "So, for Feng Quan, who has just become the king of sprinting and at the same time broke a new world in football, should he also reach the same level?"

"Mr. Zhao, with all due respect, although Feng's performance in track and field and football is very good. But after all, he has only just debuted for a year, so no matter what, he is still just a newcomer to the international sports world. Although our company can raise the price of wind a bit, we are sorry that this is not up to the standard of Usain Bolt in terms of amount. After a slight pause, Gary Gao continued: "I don't know if the offer of 35 million euros for five years is acceptable? ā€

In fact, even Zhao Shijie himself knows very well that although Fengquan has become a well-deserved "king of sprinting". But with his status as a "rookie" who debuted less than a year ago, it is indeed a little inappropriate to ask for a contract of Bolt's level.

However, as a broker, Zhao Shijie's job is to maximize the benefits of his clients. Therefore, considering that if Fengquan signs a contract with Adi, he still needs to pay 5 million euros in liquidated damages to the "king of running shoes", so Zhao Shijie said to Gary Gao: "You also know very well that if Fengquan signs a contract with your company now, he needs to pay liquidated damages to the "king of running shoes" company." So, if you can raise your offer to 40 million euros over five years, then I can make a decision right now and sign a contract with you. ā€

Although the amount proposed by Zhao Shijie did not exceed the limit set by the head office, Gary Gao, who had been in the business sea for many years, still thought for a moment in the form of "frowning" before slowly standing up and stretching out his right hand to Zhao Shijie at the same time.

"Happy ...... our cooperation" (To be continued. )
