Chapter 238: Jiang Chenxi's Annual Income (Part 2)

The Chinese team has two warm-up matches on this national team day, one is the warm-up match against Haiti that has just ended, and the other is the warm-up match against Tunisia in Nanjing four days later.

In fact, Liverpool has communicated with the Chinese Football Association, hoping that the Chinese team will not recruit Jiang Chenxi to participate in these two warm-up games.

After the international break, Liverpool will face a big game when they travel to the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal.

Arsenal have been in excellent form recently, in fact, in the final sprint of each season, Arsenal who have entered the rhythm of the 'race for the four' are very difficult to mess with.

Liverpool hope that Jiang Chenxi can get a rest on the national team break day and face the game against Arsenal in the best condition.

However, the Chinese Football Association rejected Liverpool's request.

Since the Football Association has called up, Jiang Chenxi, as a player, can naturally only come back to play this inconsequential warm-up game.

In this match between Changsha and Haiti, the tickets have long been snapped up by enthusiastic Chinese fans, and the ticket price is much higher than before, Jiang Chenxi is the biggest signboard and bargaining chip in the hands of the Chinese Football Association, of course they will not agree to Jiang Chenxi's absence from this game.

However, the Chinese Football Association does not want the relationship with Liverpool to be too stiff, and Jiang Chenxi also proposed to the Football Association that he hopes to play only one game, and the Football Association can not take Liverpool's attitude too seriously, but they can't ignore Jiang Chenxi's ideas, and in the end, they agreed that Jiang Chenxi will only participate in the game with the Haitian team, and the next warm-up game with Tunisia can not be played.

Therefore, after playing the game with the Haitian team, Jiang Chenxi returned directly to England.

……

Jiang Chenxi's mood can be said to be impatient, he wants to go back to make a full moon wine for his daughter.

In fact, on March 26, the day of the match between the Chinese team and the Haitian team, it was Jiang Chenxi's daughter's full moon, and because of the national team's game, her daughter's full moon wine could only be postponed.

After a 'warm' discussion, Jiang Chenxi and Su Xun and the elders of both sides named the child Jiangnan, Su Xun's ancestral home is in Gusu, Jiangnan, and Jiangnan is famous for its beautiful scenery and the land of fish and rice, and this name also has a good meaning.

Jiang Chenxi returned to Liverpool early, while his agent team returned a day late.

Jiang Chenxi and Weihua signed a two-year sponsorship contract in the summer of 2013, and the contract will expire this summer, and Weihua has been negotiating with Jiang Chenxi to renew the contract.

With the continuous improvement of Jiang Chenxi's influence and status in football, especially after being crowned the FIFA Golden Ball Award in 2015, Weihua has regarded Jiang Chenxi as its most important commercial endorsement star.

The negotiations began after Jiang Chenxi was elected as Mr. FIFA Golden Ball, and lasted several months, and finally the two sides reached a consensus.

……

On the day Jiang Chenxi returned to Liverpool, Weihua Group officially announced on its official website that Weihua and Jiang Chenxi completed the endorsement contract renewal, and the two parties renewed the endorsement contract for three years.

Although the parties did not announce Jiang Chenxi's endorsement fee, the reporter with 'great powers' still got a relatively accurate figure.

A total of 180 million RMB in three years.

The endorsement fee for the first year is 50 million RMB.

The endorsement fee for the second year is 60 million RMB.

In the third year, it grew to 70 million yuan.

In addition, Weihua will launch the latest Jiang Chenxi customized mobile phone, and every time Weihua sells a Jiang Chenxi series of mobile phones, players will also receive a lot of money.

This news shocked the media, and some media even used the first day of endorsement fees in history to describe the cooperation between Jiang Chenxi and Weihua.

Some media also counted Jiang Chenxi's current endorsement income.

Jiang Chenxi's first endorsement was in 2012, when he endorsed the local Swiss brand IGRO supermarket, and the endorsement fee at that time was 100,000 euros a year.

However, the endorsement contract was only signed for one year.

In addition, there are endorsements of Swiss Re Group and Nescafe, which are 150,000 euros a year and 250,000 euros a year, respectively, and the two sides have terminated their cooperation after two years.

……

At present, Jiang Chenxi's endorsements include:

In 2014, a two-year endorsement contract with Beineng PV was signed with an annual endorsement fee of 15 million yuan.

In the same year, it signed a six-year endorsement contract with sports brand giant Adidas, with an annual endorsement fee of $5.5 million.

In addition, it has also signed two-year endorsement contracts with five domestic and foreign brands, including a jewelry brand, with an annual endorsement income of about 120 million yuan.

In the first half of 2015, that is, recently, Jiang Chenxi just signed an endorsement contract with Armani, Bulgari and the luxury car brand Bentley, according to the news heard by the media, the endorsement of Armani is about 4.5 million euros per year, the endorsement of Bulgari is about 2.5 million euros per year, and the endorsement of Bentley is about 3 million euros per year, of which the contract with Armani and Bentley is three years, and the contract with Bulgari is two years.

Now, plus the endorsement contract with Weihua has been renewed.

The media calculated an account for Jiang Chenxi, in 2015, Jiang Chenxi's endorsement income was 15 million yuan + 5.5 million US dollars + 120 million yuan + 4.5 million euros + 2.5 million euros + 3 million euros + 50 million yuan......

A total of 299 million yuan, or about 44.5 million US dollars.

……

The domestic media also referred to the authoritative magazine "Sports Illustrated", which announced the 2018 sports athletes' endorsement income ranking at the beginning of the year. Mainly commercial income, athlete salaries are not counted.

Federer, the king of Switzerland, is in first place with $65 million.

The second place came from basketball player LeBron James, who earned $52 million from endorsements

In third place is footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, and Ronaldo is in third place with $47 million in business revenue.

Golf superstar Tiger Tiger Woods came in fourth with $42 million.

In fifth place is basketball player Stephen Curry, with an endorsement income of $34.5 million.

……

In tenth place is golf star Jordan Spieth, who earns $30 million a year from endorsements.

In the entire football world, only Cristiano Ronaldo is on the list, ranking third, and Messi is in thirteenth place with a revenue of $29 million, and does not enter the top 10.

And because when Sports Illustrated announced this data at that time, Jiang Chenxi and Armani, as well as Bulgari and Bentley's commercial endorsement negotiations had not yet been completed and announced, and his endorsement contract with Weihua was still an old contract of 9 million yuan per year, so in this data report, Jiang Chenxi's annual endorsement income was only 21.4 million US dollars, which did not enter the top 20, and only ranked 25th in the global athlete endorsement income list.

And now, with Armani, Bulgari and Bentley, as well as the new endorsement contract with Viva, Jiang Chenxi's annual endorsement income has reached 44.5 million US dollars, if according to the data released by "Sports Illustrated", Jiang Chenxi's annual endorsement income will jump from 25th to fourth, second only to Ronaldo's endorsement income of 47 million US dollars, higher than Messi's 29 million US dollars, becoming the second place in football endorsement income.

This media report and data shocked everyone, they knew that Jiang Chenxi had become a top star, one of the three most famous stars in football, and the income would be amazing, but without calculating the salary, Jiang Chenxi surpassed Messi and became second only to Ronaldo with an annual income of 45 million US dollars, which is still beyond many people's understanding.

The media even used the gimmicky headline 'The Emperor of Football Workers' to report it.

Although Jiang Chenxi has little to do with how much money he gets, many Chinese fans are still honored, of course, they will inevitably be envious in their hearts, and as for jealousy, there are not many people who are jealous.

Of course, this is just a gimmick, after all, Ronaldo's endorsement income is higher than Jiang Chenxi's, and if you calculate salary and bonuses, Messi's annual income will exceed Jiang Chenxi's, and Jiang Chenxi's annual income will rank after Ronaldo and Messi.

However, this is already quite amazing.

The media did not forget to remind everyone that don't forget that Jiang Chenxi's contract renewal negotiations with Liverpool are underway, and his annual income may have a big increase......
