After signing Lin Quan, Mercedes-Benz immediately posted a hero post, inviting reporters from mainstream media around the world and some celebrities to hold a press conference at its headquarters to announce the matter to the world.

As soon as the news was announced, it immediately caused a heated discussion among the melon-eating masses, and also made several competitors of Mercedes-Benz feel a little nervous.

"Dieter, that old thing, what a big deal, 8 years of 200 million euros in endorsement fees, I am really willing to give!"

As Mercedes-Benz's competitors, BMW and Audi have a very good understanding of Mercedes-Benz's situation.

When Mercedes-Benz invited Schwarzenegger, Beckham, Federer and others before, the highest endorsement fee was only 12 million a year, but in order to sign Lin Quan, they actually doubled the price directly.

It seems that in order to win Lin Quan, Mercedes-Benz has made a lot of money!

But in the eyes of Audi and BMW, Mercedes-Benz is too well spent!

Not to mention Lin Quan's influence in Europe and even the world, with his influence in China alone, this endorsement can help Mercedes-Benz further widen the gap with other competitors.

If BMW and Audi want to avoid being pulled apart by Mercedes, they will have to spend a lot of money to hire local Chinese superstars.

But these celebrities do not have international influence, and their influence is limited to China.

Compared with Lin Quan, an international superstar, this money is not cost-effective.

In addition, there are no phenomenal sports stars in China, and the rapid replacement of entertainment stars means that they have to change frequently.

But these problems do not exist in Lin's whole body, and as long as he is active in the European arena, there will be no shortage of exposure.

Even after the retirement of the older generation of stars such as Messi and Ronaldo, his popularity and fame will further increase, and he will become a king-level existence.

Such a brand spokesperson who can continue to maintain popularity and constantly upgrade is simply the best among the spokespersons!

Thinking of this, the heads of BMW and Audi in charge of marketing are eager to give themselves a slap in the face:

Such an excellent candidate, in front of them, why didn't they think of it?

Ginger is still old and spicy!

Mr. Dieter does have something!

……

Mercedes-Benz President Dieter Tsaiche, who is feared by BMW and Audi, is accompanying Lin Quan on a tour of Mercedes-Benz's headquarters.

Dieter did not despise Lin Quan at all because he was young, but attached great importance to his visit, and personally explained to him the people and objects displayed in the exhibition room, as well as the age and provenance of the photos.

Mercedes-Benz has a long history, and their founder is the inventor of the automobile, Carl Benz himself, whose invention has changed the world and human life.

After visiting Mercedes-Benz's headquarters, the two sides had lunch, and after a full meal, Dieter launched a proposal:

"Mr. Lin, I plan to ask the group's design department to design a car for you, in the style of football and green fields, what do you think?"

Designing a car with a football theme?

Looking at each other's appearances, it doesn't seem like they're joking.

And as far as Lin Quan knows, such a thing is not impossible.

After Federer's retirement, Mercedes-Benz designed a car in the style of tennis because of his long-term relationship with Mercedes-Benz, and Federer himself is said to have been involved in the design work.

Lin Quan didn't know anything about car design, but if the other party was willing to do so, he didn't object to it.

After all, if someone sends money to himself, there is no reason why he should not want to!

Some of the top basketball stars have their own signature sneakers designed by dedicated sports brands, and if these shoes are sold, the star gets a percentage of the shares.

It's not a small amount of money, so such a contract is only available to real top stars.

Compared with hundreds of thousands of sneakers, hundreds of thousands of cars are too expensive.

So even if the sales volume is a little lower, the revenue from the share is very considerable.

As a result, the two parties signed another contract for the new car in addition to the original contract.

In this contract, Mercedes-Benz gave a share of 10%.

It's nearly twice as high as a normal sneaker split!

Of course, Lin Quan also understands that pie will not fall from the sky.

Dieter's pie is tempting, but whether the money can be obtained depends on whether the car can be sold.

If you can't sell it, you won't be able to eat even the most beautiful bread.

This trip to the Mercedes-Benz headquarters, in general, Lin Quan is still very satisfied.

The sincerity of the other party is indeed very sufficient, in order to minimize the impact on Lin Quan's work and life.

In addition to participating in a few fixed business activities every year, Mercedes-Benz will negotiate with Lin Quan at other times, he will go if he is willing to participate, and if he is not willing to go, the other party is not reluctant.

Of course, Mercedes-Benz is a sponsor of many events, and some commercial activities are beneficial to the players themselves.

If Lin Quan had time, he would have participated in these activities, after all, there was no reason to refuse mutually beneficial and win-win things.

Lin Quan was very happy to sign this big contract, but someone was happier than him.

"Uncle Perret, you've been smiling all the way, are you so happy?"

"Hehe, can you not be happy if someone sends so much money?"

Pere waved his fingers and counted how much money he could make in this endorsement, the general agent's commission is 10% of the player's income, but because Pere is Lin Quan's relative and elder, his commission is only 5%.

With a big contract of 200 million euros, even if he only gets 5%, he can get a huge sum of 10 million euros!

Choice is really more important than strength!

If he hadn't chosen the right person and hugged Lin Quan's thick thigh, how could he have so many opportunities to make money?

Even if he signed his brother Pep Guardiola, he wouldn't be able to make so much money!

Although Guardiola's salary in Manchester City is quite high, his commercial value is much lower than that of a star, and he does not receive a few advertisements a year.

And the coach does not have a transfer fee, let alone a commission of the transfer fee.

This alone is a lot lower than the player's rake.

In fact, Guardiola doesn't really don't shoot commercials, Lin Quan remembers that he shot a lot of commercials in the years from 2007 to 2010, and there were twenty or thirty a year.

However, the amount of these endorsements is not high, and it is not a well-known brand, it is purely Guardiola's behavior of earning extra money to subsidize his family before Barcelona gave him a salary increase.

After all, he raised a large family by himself, and even had four children, so the pressure was not small!

In July 2010, when Barcelona renewed his contract with Pep Guardiola and gave him a salary increase, the frequency of advertising decreased.

Although Perre's percentage of commission is low, Lin is a supergiant, and the annual commercial sponsorship is not high, even if it is calculated according to the proportion of 5%, including salary, endorsement fees, etc., it is no problem to earn millions of euros a year.

In football, there are not many agents who can surpass him, and there are only about Mendes and Raiola.

However, Perre's main reason for feeling that he is running out of money is that he intends to expand his company, recruit more talent, and sign more potential players.

After counting the money, Pere breathed a long sigh of relief and looked satisfied.

Suddenly, he looked at Lin Quan beside him, his eyes rolled around, and he thought about it:

"Lin, Pep often tells me that you have a very accurate eye for people, and you can always find some potential stars, and there are some things on your uncle's company, can you please do me a favor?"

"You want me to poach people for you, right?"

The moment Lin Quan rolled his eyes from the other party, he felt like he was being targeted by a hungry wolf.

Perre's expression was almost undisguised.

"Do you agree?"

Perret rubbed his hands together with an expression of wanting to get rich.

Perret's topic aroused a trace of interest in Lin Quan, just during this time he was studying how to invest, and after making a fortune from Mercedes-Benz, not only did he have money to buy stocks, but he could also have some leftovers, so he could simply invest in his uncle's brokerage company.

In this way, it can not only help, but also a good investment channel for Lin Quan himself.

With the advantage of his traverser, it is not difficult to dig out those young players before they become famous.

Imagine bringing all future stars like Mbappe and Haaland online, and when they become famous in the future, they will be able to make money lying down.

After making up his mind, Lin Quan asked:

"Does your company still lack major shareholders? How about counting me in? ”

Pere was stunned for a moment, originally just asked Lin Quan for help, but he didn't expect him to join the gang.

How could he refuse such a thing?

Lin Quan's influence in the football world is leveraged.

During this time, the best way for his agency to sign young players is to tell the other party that Lin Quan is under our company, and coming to our company has the opportunity to get Lin Quan's autograph!

This is the only one, don't want those little fans of Lin Quan who are fooling.

If Lin Quan really joins the gang, then when he goes out to dig people in the future, he can tell the other party openly: Our boss is Lin, yes, that's right, Manchester City's No. 10, God on the field, and the omnipotent Lin!

If Lin Quan knew what Perley was thinking, he would wash him up!

It's so shameless!

Do you want to make a face?

Besides, not everyone is a fan of Lin Quan.

Mbappe's idol is Ronaldo, but I don't know if it has changed now......

And like the South American side, most young players like Messi, after all, Messi is South American.

Lin Quan's influence is relatively large in Europe and Asia, and the young players in East Asia, one is counted as one, and almost all of them regard Lin Quan as an idol.

But the problem is that Asia is a football desert, and there are not many good seedlings there!

In the future, those in Japan and South Korea may be counted?

The three-goal king Kaoru Samtoma is not bad, South Korea's Kim Min-jae is also okay, and there are some young players who are very good in Asia, but they are relatively ordinary in Europe and not particularly brilliant.

On the contrary, it is European, and there are many stars in the future.

In addition to Mbappe and Haaland, France's Tchouameni, Spain's Gavi, Portugal's Rafael Leao, etc., as well as many young stars in South America, such as Enzo and Alvarez.

If these people can really sign them all, their agency will definitely become a pivotal presence in football in the future.

Pere may not know this, but he is in favor of Lin Quan joining his agency.

As a result, Lin Quan increased his capital by 10 million euros and won 50% of the company's equity, and the uncle and nephew each held half of the shares.

After this money was invested, Lin Quan had no money in his hands at all.

So, in addition to the big contract of Mercedes-Benz, Lin Quan took advantage of this time to receive some other endorsements.

These are some short-term contracts, involving all aspects, what clothing, food, watches, and even children's toys are asked to endorse him.

It's outrageous!

However, these endorsements brought Lin Quan tens of millions of euros in income, making him rich again.

At least don't worry about running out of money to spend.

But he can be regarded as taking everything he can in one go, and after shooting so many advertisements in a row, Lin Quan is about to vomit, which is much more tiring than playing football!

Affected by this, within a year and a half, he will probably not think about receiving advertisements anymore.

While Lin Quan was busy shooting commercials, Bosque led a group of young Spanish players and also won two consecutive victories on the field.

On 10 October, they swept 4-0 at home to Luxembourg, who are weak and ranked 93rd in the world.

Considering that the total population of the other side is only 600,000, this result is actually not bad.

Valencia striker Paco scored twice in this game and performed well.

Alvaro Morata continued his impressive run in the Champions League, contributing a goal and providing an assist as a substitute.

Before the final whistle, Cazorla scored another goal to make it 4-0.

If Spain won the first game easily, then in the second game, after encountering the hard stubble of Ukraine, their performance was greatly reduced.

The Ukrainian football team is ranked within the top 30 in the world, and such a team, even in Europe, is by no means a soft persimmon.

Encountering such an opponent, the background color of this group of Spanish recruits was exposed.

In this game, Spain performed poorly, and even lost control of the field in the first half, and the possession rate was lower than that of the opponent.

Seeing that Spain was about to lose, the opponent had a handball in the penalty area and gave Spain a penalty.

However, what was stunned was that Paco, who took the penalty, kicked the ball into the air and returned the big gift given by the opponent.

Seeing this scene, Bosque in the coach's seat felt a rush of blood rushing to his head, and the old coach was about to be angry on the spot.

Paco was just considered a man of choice because of the previous game against Luxembourg, but he didn't expect to make such a mistake this one.

This guy's psychological quality is really far worse than Lin Quan's.

He had never seen Lin Quan miss a penalty, not once.

This guy missed the first penalty for the national team, so good, it's amazing!

After missing the penalty, Paco was almost depressed.

The ball should have been taken by the captain on the field, Cesc Fabregas, but Xiaofa felt that the coach was promoting the youngsters, and Paco had a good performance in the last game, so he generously gave up the opportunity.

As a result, I didn't expect this to happen.

Sure enough, not everyone is Lin Quan, and in the early years, everyone took turns to take penalties in the Spanish team.

If anyone loses the penalty, they will be punished in the next game.

As a result, all the penalties in Spain were handed over to Lin Quan to take the penalty, which is not Lin Quan's privilege.

But after the penalty came to him, he didn't miss it.

So Lin Quan automatically became Spain's first penalty taker, as long as he was there, everyone would not grab a penalty with him, which also led to the lack of opportunities for other players to take penalties in the national team, and the ability to take penalties was somewhat affected.

The reason why Xiaofa gave up the opportunity to Paco, in addition to taking care of the newcomer, another reason is that he feels that he has not taken a penalty for a long time and is not too sure.

As a result, Paco also missed.

Well, Paco will inevitably be blamed by fans and the media after the game because of this penalty.

For a newcomer, this is also too miserable!
