Chapter 133: 9 million in 3 years? Who does this sponsorship contract look down on?
Upon learning that Lin Quan had returned to Germany, Perret rushed from Spain to meet him as soon as possible.
The other party moved so fast that Lin Quan realized that this might really be a big contract.
"Uncle Perret, what kind of contract is it?"
"You take a look first, and talk as you go!"
Perret poured himself a glass of water, and after drinking it in one gulp, he spoke:
"The contract on Bayern's side is almost finalized, and Adidas is a sponsor of Bayern, and they have long taken a fancy to you and are interested in signing you.
However, before that, you only had some reputation in the Bundesliga, and your influence in the whole football world was relatively limited, so Adidas didn't care too much about you, and the contract they offered was too insincere, and I rejected it. ”
"So what made them start to value me as a 'not famous' player this time?"
Lin Quan closed the contract in his hand and looked at Pere with a smile.
"Ahem, it's because you're getting better and better in the Bundesliga and it's proving that you're not the kind of player who is a flash in the pan.
Second, you have gradually gained a firm foothold in the national team, and even vaguely become the core player of the next generation of the Spanish national team.
As long as nothing else, there will definitely be a place for you in the future of football.
Adidas may have been watching before, but now they can't sit still.
If you don't take action, if other competitors are the first to approach you, they may miss out on you as a future star. ”
Lin Quan nodded, there are many giants in this area of sports brands.
Adidas wasn't the strongest, but because they were based in Germany, they were the first to notice themselves.
When his fame in the football world grows bigger and bigger, there must be many sponsors who take the initiative to seek cooperation.
Players of the level of Ronaldo and Messi are sponsors who take the initiative to seek cooperation, rather than them asking for sponsors.
"Adidas is still very sincere in this contract, and they have made an offer of 9 million euros for three years.
If you sign with them, they will use their connections in European football to help you win this year's Golden Boy award. ”
Pere is obviously tempted by this contract, you must know that Ronaldo's contract is only 4 years and 24 million euros, Lin Quan is still a newcomer, and it is already very good to get such a contract.
But Perret's words obviously did not impress Lin Quan.
Ronaldo's current contract is indeed small, but he signed this contract three years ago, and his contract with Nike will expire next year.
At that time, Nike will definitely increase the renewal amount significantly.
If he remembers correctly, the next time Ronaldo signed a five-year contract with a total value of up to 50 million euros.
In other words, starting next year, Ronaldo can get at least 9 million euros in sponsorship fees from Nike every year.
Adidas gave him a 3-year 9 million contract at this time, is this a dispatch called Hanako?
"Reject Adidas' offer!"
Lin Quan didn't have a good impression of Adidas, and he didn't mention the disgusting things they did in the later life.
Just talking about their offer itself, Lin Quan felt that it was an insult to himself.
Neymar's contract with Nike was signed in 2011, and Nike gave him 4.5 million euros a year.
This is still Neymar's contract after he did not land in the top five leagues, but only after Nike made a name for himself in the Brazilian league.
After Neymar lands in the top five leagues, his contract amount may be on par with Messi Ronaldo.
It's 2013 now, and Adidas' contract to Lin Quan is not even as much as Nike's contract to Neymar two years ago.
How contemptuous is this?
"Huh? Lin, are you dissatisfied with the contract amount? ”
Pere thought that Lin Quan would agree to this offer, but he didn't expect the other party to refuse cleanly.
So I asked more.
"Uncle Perret, do you think this contract is a lot?"
Perret thought for a moment and said:
"For the average player, getting a contract like this before the age of 20 is considered a big contract."
"Do you think I'm an average player?"
Lin Quan asked with a smile.
Pere was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted.
"Hehe, I ignored it, with the strength you are showing now, I think four or five million euros a year is about the same!"
Considering that Ronaldo is only 6 million euros per year, Pere did not say that the price was too high, and it is unlikely that the sponsor will directly give Lin Quan a sponsorship fee comparable to that of Ronaldo and Messi.
But with the huge potential that Lin Quan is showing so far, it is not outrageous to give him four or five million euros.
It's up to these sponsors to gamble on their potential!
Seeing that the other party understood what he meant, Lin Quan said with a smile:
"We don't have to rush, there are still more than three months before the summer transfer period, and it will be more advantageous to wait until the transfer period starts and my next home is confirmed, and then it will be more advantageous to talk to the sponsors."
Pere nodded, the stars in the small clubs are definitely not as good as the stars of the big clubs in terms of commercial value.
Therefore, when the sponsor treats these two types of players, they are more willing to give the latter a big contract.
This is also the reason why major stars like to run to the big clubs.
The top wealthy not only give more salaries, but also have higher business income, and are also more likely to produce results, which is equivalent to fame and money.
"In addition to this contract, there are a few smaller contracts that do not involve the sports field, I brought them along, do you want to take a look at them?"
Pere originally took these contracts with a small amount with a dispensable attitude, but he didn't expect the contract with the largest amount to be yellow, and at this time only these small fish and shrimp were left.
Lin Quan took a look, and the scope of these contracts was really wide.
There are Golden Arches and Kaifeng dishes in the catering industry, Pepsi and Coca-Cola in carbonated drinks, and Head & Shoulders and Qingyang in the shampoo industry, and Lin Quan even saw Durex's sponsored advertisements.
And the amount of money offered by Durex is actually quite a lot......
Nuremberg, headquarters of Adidas.
"What? He rejected our offer? ”
Adidas' sports marketing director, Jimmy Dano, looked incredulous when he learned that Lin Quan's agent had rejected their offer.
"Yes, they seem to be unhappy with our contract offer."
"Hehe, 9 million euros for 3 years, which player under the age of 20 can get such a high sponsorship fee?"
Jimmy said disdainfully, does this guy really think he is Messi Ronaldo?
"Shall we still engage with them?"
When the assistant heard Jimmy's words, he thought that the other party was going to give up signing a contract with Lin Quan.
"Suspend contact, dry him first, let them calm down."
The assistant nodded, and was about to leave the office.
"Have any other brands approached them lately?"
Jimmy seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked.
"At present, I have not found any other sports brands, but there are many other brands that have been endorsed by them."
Jimmy nodded indifferently: "As long as it's not Nike guys who come to dig into our corners, by the way, keep track of his contacts with other sports brands during this time, and if there is no third party involved, we can just bite the contract amount!" ”
"What if a third party intervenes?"
"Then just adjust it according to the offer made by the opponent, and all in all, we don't accept blackmail from players!"
Jimmy Dano appears to be confident, convinced that in the end it will be the players who will be the first to compromise.
Adidas has always been very arrogant.
With the initiative in their hands, it is impossible to expect them to make concessions.
Moreover, their players have always had a lower income on sponsorship fees than Nike.
The reason is also very simple, in European football, Adidas has more influence than Nike.
When a player signs with Adidas, he can get more hidden benefits, which is a benefit that money can't directly measure.
……
Adidas is not in a hurry, and Lin Quan is not in a hurry.
After playing away at Mainz at the weekend, he took time out to shoot his first commercial.
This is an advertisement for Kaifeng cuisine, and the content of the shooting is very simple, and it only took about half an hour to get it.
The endorsement fee on the side of Kaifeng Cai is not expensive, 500,000 euros a year.
Although the price is not high, the victory is that the task is easy and simple, and you only need to cooperate with them to shoot a few advertisements.
And KFC's hamburgers are good, and Lin Quan occasionally eats them.
After filming their commercials, he was able to enjoy certain privileges, such as the wide hamburger he endorsed for free.
In addition, every week on Crazy Thursday, KFC stores will also give him various benefits.
However, for professional footballers, fried food is not healthy and can be eaten, but only a little bit.
It's okay to eat once or twice a week, but if you eat too much, you will be prone to gain weight and affect your health.
……
On April 6, in the 28th round of the Bundesliga, Werder Bremen hosted Schalke 04.
The two teams didn't have a big feud before, but Werder Bremen had a very unpleasant experience when they visited the Stade Veltins last year.
A nasty foul by opposition player Neustadt on Kevin De Bruyne sidelined the heart of Werder Bremen's midfield for almost a month.
During this period, Werder Bremen had to rely on Lin Quan's single core to lead the team to play.
In addition to the bad behavior of the opposing players on the field, they also imposed various restrictions on Werder Bremen fans at home, which also made Werder Bremen very unhappy.
So, this time, Werder Bremen did the same.
Of the more than 50,000 tickets at home, they only gave Schalke 2,000 tickets.
Of the more than 10,000 Schalke fans who travelled with the team, only one in five were able to buy tickets to the Weser Stadium to watch the game.
Schalke fans were so unhappy with this that they gathered outside the Weser Stadium to protest.
Werder Bremen ignored their protests, after all, you were the first to do it.
We're just giving you back what you did the way you did, and you can only blame yourself!
"I don't need to mobilize more in this game, right?"
In the locker room, Schaaf glanced at the members of the team and saw the faces of the fighting spirit.
This made him very satisfied!
"Didn't say it, dry smash Schalke!"
"yes, fuck it!"
"Strive to score a double and give them a tragic massacre!"
The morale of the players in Werder Bremen is high and they are eager to eat Schalke 04 alive.
Such fighting spirit and hatred are rare even in the northern derby against Hamburg.
It can be seen that Schalke really angered them completely!
……
On the away side, Schalke's coach is also mobilizing.
"We are in sixth place in the table, six points behind Bayer Leverkusen.
If we can't beat Werder Bremen away from home, then the gap between us and Bayer Leverkusen is likely to widen even further! ”
'Can you accept the result of not having a Champions League game next season?'
The Schalke players had red eyes and shouted:
"Unacceptable!"
"Okay, then on the field, prove your determination with your actual actions!"
With that, both teams left the locker room with the confidence of winning and came to the players' tunnel.
The players on both sides were obviously separated by less than half a meter, but they both treated each other as air.
didn't even look at each other, and directly ignored the existence of the other party.
The referees glanced at each other and felt the strong smell of gunpowder between the two teams!
It seems that the scale of blowing penalties in this game needs to be tightened a little, otherwise, with the hostility of the two teams, I am afraid that someone will be injured in this game.
As the players from both sides entered the stadium, the Werder Bremen fans chanted the names of their players and gave them a round of applause and cheers.
When it was the visitors' turn to play, they were greeted with boos.
Weser Stadium may not be as luxurious as the Weltings Stadium, but the atmosphere is anything but bad.
Even before the game began, Schalke's players had a hunch that it was going to be tough.
At 15:30 in the afternoon, with the referee's whistle, the game officially began.
There was no temptation between the two teams and they started attacking in the first minute.
In this game, Werder Bremen played without any burden, they only had attack, attack, and attack again!
For Werder Bremen, they have a big lead in the standings.
Even with a loss in this game, Dortmund will not be able to pull them off from second place.
Therefore, they can let go of their hands and feet, go all out and go all out, and attack the enemy's goal.
But for Schalke 04, they can't afford to lose this game, and if they lose, they will be in a desperate situation in the race for a Champions League spot.
So in the confrontation between the two sides, Schalke 04 took the lead.
If you don't coax it, the other party's offensive is too scary.
The opponent's No. 10 was like a passing machine, almost single-handedly turning Schalke 04's left side upside down.
The opponent's No. 6 also seemed to have drunk fake wine, frequently sending very penetrating passes, so that their defense was tested one after another.
In addition to these two huge threats, the rest of Werder Bremen's players also seemed to be crazy, drilling into their box frantically whenever they had the chance.
Such a mad dog play, Schalke 04 has never seen it at all, even Dortmund at the time of the Ruhr derby, it is not so crazy!
Crazy people, all crazy people!
