Chapter 1097: Summer Transfer Market
The news that Iello surpassed Tiger Woods to become the world's highest-paid sports athlete immediately made headlines in major sports, entertainment and current affairs newspapers, and you must know that golfer Tiger Woods has been the top player in the world for the past few years.
However, in this summer, Iroh surpassed the past in an instant with lightning speed and became the first, giving people a very unreal feeling.
You must know that Iroh became the first person in world football a few years ago, but his income at that time was only two-thirds of Tiger Woods, and the distance was very obvious, so no one dared to guess that the annual income of football players would surpass Tiger Woods one day.
But...... In the summer of 2013, it really happened.
Weibo, the social networking site that emerged two years ago, has swiped tens of billions of tweets about Iro's ascension to the top of the world's highest-paid sports athlete in just one day, and the same is true of Twitter, the social network in which Iroh has a stake.
When Iroh was chasing Tiger Woods' total annual income, his Twitter followers went from 80 million to 100 million in a short period of time, and as he surpassed Tiger Woods to become the world's highest-paid sports athlete, his following was already on the 130 million......
In just two days, the number of followers increased by more than 20 million, which is really a miracle.
According to the speculation of experts in Twitter's data department, if Iello continues to increase his current followers, he will likely approach the 200 million followers mark before 2014, becoming the first public figure in Twitter's history to have 200 million followers.
In addition, after Iroh surpassed Tiger Woods to become the world's No. 1 sports athlete in terms of sports revenue, he was interviewed by Forbes magazine, and when he mentioned that his personal income surpassed Tiger Woods in an all-round way, he gave all the credit to his agent Li Shiyin: "In fact, it is a bit unexpected to surpass Tiger Woods to become the world's highest-paid sports athlete, but it is not surprising, because my agent has silently paid a lot behind the scenes, and she keeps negotiating, negotiating, and renegotiating with every company to maximize my personal interests." ”
Of course, the biggest reason why Iroh can be so lightly understated is that his own personal assets have long exceeded this number, and if he can calculate them all, he will likely become the richest Chinese in the world.
After all, the extra ten years of advantages are not for showing, many projects that can make money are involved, such as WeChat, which is now owned by many people in China......
The behind-the-scenes investment team of Ailuo invested in JD.com and Suning early, and there are many investment projects in real estate, Internet, and online games.
To get back to the point, the words that Iroh answered in an interview with Forbes magazine were completely changed when they reached the ears of Iroh's official girlfriend Taylor Swift through the 'adaptation' of the media.
What she heard meant...... The relationship between Ailuo and her agent Li Shiyin is developing rapidly, and the two have a son......
A woman's mind is inherently hard to guess, but she likes to be cranky, so ...... Iroh is tragic.
He originally just wanted to simply praise his agent Li Shiyin, but who would have thought that he would end up making his girlfriend Taylor Swift angry?

Iello will return to the squad on the morning of August 4, local time in Spain, the day before the team's scheduled time.
Without any surprise, when Iello arrived at Valencia International Airport, countless Valencia fans came to meet them and welcome their heroes.
Of course, there are some absolute loyalists of the Spanish national team, as in 1986 when Maradona's Argentina eliminated Italy, causing strong discontent among Italian fans.
However, there are some differences, and the fans who welcome Ailo are the overwhelming.
At the same time, because the smoke of Iello surpassing Tiger Woods to become the world's highest-paid sports athlete has not yet dissipated, the media's attention is still on him.
The same is true for the mainstream media in Europe, after all, in this era, an athlete's income is directly proportional to his degree of attention, which means that Iello is still in a state of personal career in full swing, full of gold absorption!
Therefore, when Elo arrived at Valencia International Airport, he encountered countless media reporters who wanted to interview, but fortunately, the security personnel at the airport responded in time to ensure that Valencia's hero Elo and his son Li Ai left the airport smoothly and returned to their home in Valencia.

In the last two months in the European transfer market, the most eye-catching performances have not been in the Premier League, Ligue 1 and Bundesliga, with clubs represented by Manchester City, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Monaco.
They spent a total of nearly 300 million euros this summer, accounting for 70% of the transfer market throughout the summer.
In addition to the transfer of Brazilian genius Neymar to Barcelona for 57 million euros, Real Madrid and Valencia continue to maintain the fatigue of the summer of 2012 and the purchasing power is not strong.
In addition to Real Madrid's 50 million euro sale of Colombian stars to attract everyone's attention this summer, it was a peaceful parting with head coach Jose Mourinho, who took over as the head coach Benitez, who had Real Madrid experience.
However, it is worth mentioning that Tottenham star Gareth Bale is linked to Real Madrid, according to media reports, the Welsh star who has performed well at Tottenham in the past few seasons is likely to transfer to Real Madrid, and the fundamental reason affecting the transaction between Real Madrid and Tottenham is only one point - transfer fee!
As one of the few attractive stars in the Premier League at the moment, Tottenham will not easily sell Gareth Bale, so Real Madrid must pay enough sincerity if they want to get this star.
Therefore...... It is normal that transfer talks between Gareth Bale and Real Madrid are deadlocked.
However, as the first round of La Liga in the 2013-2014 season slowly approached, Real Madrid's top management was somewhat relieved, and the 70 million pounds transfer fee that had been bitten before had a new change.
You must know that Barcelona is already taking the lead in snapping up Neymar, and if Real Madrid does not have a representative star to join in the new season, their face will be lost......
Therefore, when Valencia was fully preparing for the first round of the league and the first leg of the first leg against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup, a news announced on the official websites of Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid at the same time attracted the attention of the whole of Europe.
Welsh star Gareth Bale joins Real Madrid for £85 million!
