Shenzhen.

A city that is very foreign to Jack. A city that is the polar opposite of what Jack had seen in England. But when Jack just got off the plane, someone had already come to pick him up.

It was an intermediary who called Jack.

But it's not an ordinary intermediary, it's a very powerful intermediary. The meaning of their search for Jack is very simple, China, there are many manufacturers in China who are interested in Jack. Especially after Jack officiated the match between Spain and South Korea, many manufacturers in China appreciated Jack very much.

World cup.

The influence in China is very large. According to them, Chinese fans are more obsessed with the World Cup than many other countries. The ratings of the World Cup are very high in China, and there is no program that can compare with the ratings of the World Cup.

And Chinese fans watch the European League a lot.

Among so many European leagues, the largest number of Chinese fans is Serie A. Because Serie A entered China the earliest, and it was China's national television that broadcast Serie A.

This is a TV station that covers the whole of China. He is aimed at all Chinese and has the most influence on Chinese television.

So in Serie A in China, the number of fans is not one million or two million. The base of Serie A fans is 10 million, 20 million. China is a country with a population of 1.3 billion, and if you count the fans here, the unit is 10 million.

There are many fans in Serie A, so there are also many fans in the Italian national team. Among the world powers, even Brazil, Argentina, Germany, and England combined, may not be as good as the Italian national team.

There is a lot of controversy in this World Cup.

If the South Korean team is in the knockout round, they eliminate a cat and a dog. Chinese fans despise the South Korean national team at most. But they eliminated the Italian national team, a team with tens of millions of loyal fans across China.

The South Korean national team has become a shouting beat in China.

Actually, when the World Cup started. Chinese fans still have some support for South Korea and Japan. After all, everyone belongs to the Asian team and has a good result. Everybody was happy.

But the elimination of Italy is different.

If you really have the quality to knock out Italy, that's great. But relying on the referee to hack Italy, that will make the whole world spurn. This is especially true of Chinese fans, who have tens of millions of Italian supporters.

At this time, Jack came, and Jack was born. In the match between South Korea and Spain, the Korean team was eliminated. Coupled with the fact that Jack is Chinese, the youngest referee in the World Cup, and other factors add up, Jack became popular in China without warning.

Chinese fans and fans watching the World Cup all know Jack.

If you usually watch the Euroleague fans, if you have 10 million, 20 million. Then the number of people watching the World Cup may be in the hundreds of millions. Of course, there are no accurate figures, but many research agencies believe that the number of fans watching the World Cup in China has reached 200 million.

Of course, Jack didn't believe it much. How can there be 200 million fans watching the World Cup. Because for Jack, who grew up in England, a population of 100 million is simply unimaginable. However, many research agencies are conclusively saying that 200 million people in China watched the games.

The first is that the Chinese team has entered this World Cup.

This is the first time in the history of the Chinese team to enter the World Cup, so it has stimulated the enthusiasm of Chinese fans to watch the game. An unknown number of fans have watched this World Cup.

Another reason is that time is very good.

Korea-Japan World Cup. China has a time difference with South Korea and Japan, but it is not the same. The match time of this World Cup is very suitable for Chinese fans to watch, so of course there are more fans watching the World Cup.

So Jack is really on fire.

It's on fire among Chinese fans. Then there were Chinese merchants who found an intermediary and contacted Jack. I hope to promote their products while Jack is currently on fire.

Earn?

Things to make money. Jack certainly wouldn't let it go.

"Wow, there are so many Chinese buildings."

Cheryl is like a bun that has just entered the city, looking at the high-rise buildings in Shenzhen. Of course, Cheryl didn't see tall buildings, but he had always heard about them. China is a very poor country.

For China, it is only mysterious and ancient.

I didn't expect China to have such modern cities. So he said to Jack: "Jack, is this city the biggest and best in China." ”

Jack shook his head.

Jack is actually relatively new to Shenzhen, but Jack has checked the information in Shenzhen. It seems that Shenzhen is just a new city in China that has developed in the past two decades. There are many cities in China with a much older history.

Including Beijing and Shanghai. are far larger than Shenzhen.

But Jack didn't know, so he couldn't explain it to Cheryl. Therefore, it can only be said simply: "It seems that it is not." Chinese cities like Beijing and Shanghai seem to be bigger. The population of the urban area alone seems to be in the tens of millions. ”

"Tens of millions?"

Cheryl was completely incredulous.

Newcastle, where he grew up, had a population of just over 200,000 people. Even if you count the surrounding area, it can't exceed 300,000. But Rao is so. Newcastle is a large city in the northwest of England.

I didn't expect that China's big cities have a population of tens of millions.

This time, Jack was invited to be a top brand in China, a watch company called FIYTA. Jack is not very familiar with watches, and the brands that Jack knows are only Rolex and IWC.

Jack is wearing a Rolex on his hand now.

"Mr. Xu, hello."

"Jack. Judge Li, your Chinese is good. ”

When Jack arrived at FIYTA, the manager of their company was waiting for Jack. Jack replied with a smile: "The community I grew up in was mostly Chinese-Chinese, except for some blacks. I also belong to a Chinese community, and I have been learning Chinese since I was a child. ”

"Come, Jack. Referee Li, let's go in and talk. ”

"Good. But Mr. Xu, I still have someone. I wonder if your company can find an English-speaking guide to show her around the city. ”

Jack gestured to Cheryl, who was looking around behind her.

"No problem. It's just a small thing. ”

The younger manager. Briefly talk about the secretary in the back. The secretary nodded, and walked out.

"Jack. Referee Lee. I've arranged it. ”

"Thank you."

Jack came to Cheryl's side and said to heryl, "I'll go in and talk about something." I've arranged a guide for you. You follow him around here first. ”

…………

Although Jack is more happy to be able to come to China, he is still very cautious in negotiating with Chinese companies.

Not general caution.

Jack naturally has a good impression of his ancestors' homeland. But this affection does not diminish Jack's fear and distrust of this strange country. After all, although Jack doesn't believe in those bullshit media, he grew up in England anyway and will be influenced by the media. China, this place is familiar to me, but also unfamiliar. Familiar because Jack knew since he was a child that his ancestors were rooted in China, and strange because Jack had never been to China since he was a child, and Jack didn't know anything about it.

Favor is no substitute for reason. Jack is a must to be a referee and be rational at all times.

China. After all, it was the first time.

What exactly is going on in China, Jack doesn't know. So as early as after receiving a call from the agent, Jack immediately contacted his father. Then I hope that they can support a lawyer of their own, or find a domestic lawyer who has a connection with them.

Anyway, my father has also sued many rich people, and through them, he should also be able to contact lawyers in China. After all, there is more and more business in China and England now.

Anyway, Jack believes that his dad should have a way.

Sure enough, just two days later, Jack was approached by his father's law firm in China, and they sent a lawyer.

Jack's request was simple. I just hope that someone who understands domestic laws will help me and not let people fool me.

Of course, FIYTA is such a big brand. It doesn't fool Jack. Now FIYTA is occupying the domestic market and also wants to enter the international market.

Even if they wanted to, they wouldn't lie to a little referee like Jack.

Soon the two sides agreed. FIYTA wants Jack's current fame. Jack's fame has increased greatly with the World Cup, and it is likely that CCTV will broadcast the Premier League at the beginning of this season.

That's why FIYTA found Jack.

But they weren't sure how long Jack's current fame would last. After all, Jack is just a referee. FIYTA should also be cautious. So they signed a short-term contract with Jack, which is a one-year endorsement contract.

But they are very generous.

Jack has always believed that China's economy should be relatively poor, and the endorsement fees of these companies should not be very high. But Jack really underestimated the boldness of Chinese companies.

The endorsement fee for one year is RMB 700,000. It is about 70,000 pounds when converted into pounds.

It's actually quite simple.

It is to give them Jack's portrait rights to use, and Jack can just wear a watch and pose for a few POSE. Then let FIYTA use its image rights for one year. A year later, Jack would take back his image rights.

But that doesn't end there.

Jack didn't expect that he would be so popular in China. The manufacturers who are looking for Jack's endorsement are one after another. Of course, there are many who fish in troubled waters.

Some of them are completely shell companies that just want Jack's image rights.

Jack is looking for any type of advertisement, even for condoms. Let Jack be crying and laughing. I'm a referee, and I don't seem to have anything to do with condoms. Jack stayed in China for nearly half a month and contacted an unknown number of manufacturers.

Of course, Jack asked the domestic law firm that helped him to screen Jack before he took over six commercials. In just half a month in China, Jack swept away nearly 150,000 pounds.

Jack himself is funny.

It's all about making money. Jack didn't expect to be so popular. (To be continued......)
