Chapter 241: Signing a Contract with Nike (Part I) [Asking for Subscription]

Hearing Wu Feng's voice, these hundreds of reporters finally quieted down, and looked at Wu Feng in unison, expecting his answer.

Looking at the eyes around him, Wu Feng knew that it would be impossible not to answer, although he was not afraid of these reporters, but he didn't want everyone to make trouble unpleasantly, he still paid attention to the feelings of others in his heart, and many times he would rather trouble himself and help others solve problems.

"First of all, I won't leave Karlsruhe next season, let alone the Bundesliga. We managed to qualify for the Bundesliga and I certainly won't let my hard work go to waste, it's my way of doing things. Secondly, we haven't faced each other between me and Manuel Neuer, so I can't say who is stronger. You may think I'm stronger, but the German media also thinks Neuer is stronger. So until I met Schalke 04, all your speculations were hypothetical, non-existent, and no one could say who was stronger. If you want to know, wait for the next game, we'll know, so there's no point in discussing this issue now. Wu Feng was not in a hurry, and answered these two questions first, which also made the surrounding reporters shine.

With such a temperament, it is really hard to imagine that he has just turned 20 years old. However, only with this mentality can Wu Feng sit firmly in the position of the main goalkeeper in Karlsruhe at once, and can also sit firmly in the position of the goalkeeper in the national team, so that the other players are convinced.

It also allows these reporters to see the hope of Chinese football, the most stable defense of the national football team, talking eloquently in front of themselves and others, without a little panic, this is a big scene player, and they can't help but be secretly impressed.

"Next, I can't say anything about the results of this Asian Cup. But just now, a reporter friend said, is our goal to qualify? This question makes me very embarrassed, when did our Chinese football fall to the point where we had to aim for qualifying in the Asian Cup? If that's the case, isn't it too underestimating our Boss Zhu, and it's also underestimating my Wu Feng. With me at the back, can't we fight offensively? The past is in the past, believe me, our Chinese football will definitely be different from the past! Wu Feng said confidently.

"So, can you tell me about the approximate ranking of the national football team in the Asian Cup?" A reporter asked.

Hearing this question, Wu Feng couldn't help frowning, "I don't speculate about the future, but we won't disappoint all the fans this time!" Okay, let's do it this time, I just got off the plane and I'm tired, so let's let me go. ”

Seeing Wu Feng's pitiful appearance, the reporters couldn't help laughing, but they didn't continue to entangle. It has been two hours since Wu Feng got off the plane, and Wu Feng's demeanor and temperament have all made them feel very satisfied.

The future of Chinese football is led by such players, as long as the Football Association does not interfere too much, they will definitely have better results, and they will not worry about no news reports in the future.

After returning to the city, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Zhixing had already booked a room at the Shangri-La Hotel, and after eating some hastily, Wu Feng and Zhu Zhixing fell asleep in their respective rooms. By the way, adjust to the jet lag, although he doesn't need to adjust much, but he is mentally tired during this time, and now is also the time to relax.

Early the next morning, Zhu Zhixing and Wu Feng arrived at Nike's Asian headquarters building, and Nike's head of business marketing in Asia, Enstorling, had been waiting for a long time.

Accompanied by Enstearling, Wu Feng and Zhu Zhixing came to the lobby specially prepared by Nike for the signing ceremony, where many reporters had gathered, including sports reporters and entertainment reporters.

The previous one in Europe was initialed, the formal contract was not signed, and the Nike headquarters decided to put it in Shanghai.

However, when he was about to sign the contract at the end, Zhu Zhixing was still ready to conduct a final round of brief negotiations, and he wanted to see if he could win a higher amount of endorsement fee contract for Wu Feng.

And Wu Feng's decisive performance in the German Cup final, as well as his popularity in China, are important weights for Zhu Zhixing's last round of negotiations.

However, to Zhu Zhixing's surprise, his request, Enstorling agreed on behalf of Nike, and they took the initiative to increase the annual sponsorship amount of the contract from 2 million euros to 2.3 million euros.

When it comes to player sponsorship, Nike, with its deep pockets, has never been a bad moneymaker. The popularity of the airport yesterday also made people on Nike's side see that Wu Feng's influence in China was beyond their imagination.

So they had an emergency meeting overnight, and they also thought that Zhu Zhixing would put forward this request to increase the endorsement fee, so they happily agreed today without any hesitation.

They were able to work for Cristiano. Ronaldo offered a sky-high endorsement fee contract of more than 8 million US dollars, and it is naturally very easy to provide Wu Feng with a contract of 2.3 million euros. They are interested in the Chinese market, as long as Wu Feng's performance is not too bad, they are willing to pay this fee, not to mention that Wu Feng performed very well.

In the United States, Nike spends a very high amount of sponsorship every year in order to sign a rookie. Rather than the annual endorsement fee to the player, they are more concerned about the future development potential of the signed star and what kind of advertising effect the player can bring to Nike in the future.

Wu Feng is what they believe is a very potential football star, and there is a huge Chinese market behind it.

In the German Cup final, Nike also sent football experts to watch Wu Feng's game. It was through that game that they further realized Wu Feng's strong individual ability, as well as his rich personality charm and unlimited development prospects.

Therefore, in the advertising sponsorship contract for Wu Feng, they were naturally willing to be generous, giving Wu Feng a better initial impression. In this way, the cooperation between the two parties will be more pleasant in the future.

After Mr. Enstearling made a new offer, Zhu Zhixing put forward a new request, that is, to change the original five-year contract to a "2+2+1" contract, which was the five-year contract decomposition method that he and Wu Feng had discussed.

Because Wu Feng believes that in another year, he will become more different, and he will lose too much for him for 5 years.

For the first two years, both parties will give priority to the contract after the signing. After two years, the two parties need to sign a new sponsorship contract, after which they will sign it once a year.

However, Nike has the right of first refusal to renew the contract, at least as high as Cristiano Ronaldo's, and even higher.

Regarding Zhu Zhixing and Wu Feng's request, Enstearling agreed without thinking about it. At the beginning, Wu Feng was offered a five-year contract, which fully shows that Nike has enough confidence in Wu Feng.
