Chapter 283: Debola's Plan (8500)
"Five years long, 400,000 euros a year?" Debora took her eyes off the contract text and looked up at Lune Setzer, the assistant manager of Adidas' business development department across from her.
Dressed in a suit, Szaire smiled and asked, "Is there any problem, Miss Debola?" ”
"Of course there is a problem. Mr. Szell. Debora put down the contract, then crossed her hands on the table, and looked directly at Spotzer across from her.
"First, the contract period is too long, and second, the contract amount is too low. I don't think it's a fair and reasonable contract. You can all see Jung's performance in the first half of the season, he is one of the best players in the Bundesliga in the first half of the season! No, maybe not yet! ”
It is different from the image that is always frowning in front of glory, and there is always a melancholy image between the eyebrows.
The current Debora is capable and resolute, with the posture of a strong woman.
"Is the best player in the Bundesliga worth the price?" She asked rhetorically.
"We don't just set this price, Miss Debola." Shi Zell spread his hands, looking aggrieved. "We have a dedicated commercial value assessment department that takes into account the commercial value of a player based on a number of criteria. These criteria include the player's personal strength, the team's achievements and influence, as well as the player's media exposure, as well as whether the player's image is positive or negative, whether the player plays for the national team, and the results and performance of the national team...... Wait a minute. According to this set of standards, Rong is this price. ”
"Rong's personal strength is certainly outstanding, but the characteristics of his skills are single, and he can't see anything else except speed. Our team of professionals is cautious about his future development and needs to be observed. After all, he has only been in Europe for half a season, and we can't say too much about how far he will develop in the future......"
Secondly, Werder Bremen's results have been up and down in recent years, and there are no championships that can be won, and Werder Bremen's influence and popularity in the whole world, especially in China, where Rong is located, are much less than Bayern Munich. If Rong had stayed at Bayern Munich, his commercial value would have been higher than it is now. ”
Debo snorted: "I don't think a player who can't even make the squad at Bayern Munich has a higher commercial value than Werder Bremen's main core. Werder Bremen are now the top league champions during the winter break! According to the law of history, 80% of the champions during the winter break won the league championship at the very end. So it's only a matter of time before Werder Bremen win the title. ”
"You're right, Miss Debola. But that, after all, is people's prediction, not reality. Football is round, and anything can happen. When Werder Bremen didn't lift the championship salad plate, no one can say that Werder Bremen is already a champion, right? Therefore, in terms of club honor, Rong suffers a lot from this. ”
"Plus, doesn't Rong seem to like dealing with the media very much? We noticed that he rarely gave interviews and interviews to the media. So his media exposure is also seriously insufficient. A celebrity's fame depends largely on media exposure, and if the media is not interested in him, or if there is little news about him in the media, then his fame must be limited. ”
Szell began to explain to Debola, and although he made a point, Debora heard a taste of contempt in it. It's as if the business value of glory is determined by a cold tone from above.
Of course, he was right, but Debola didn't believe that Adidas would have such a businesslike face with the players they really fancied about her.
"To sum up, the annual endorsement fee of 400,000 yuan is already the largest amount we can give. I hope you'll think about it, Miss Debola. Of course, we can also increase the endorsement fee according to Rongguang's performance, for example, if he wins the Golden Boot Award, we can add an additional 200,000 ......"
"No, Mr. Szell." Debora interrupted. "I will not accept such additional terms in this case. This is even more of a humiliating handout for my players! ”
"Well, you're mistaken, Miss Debola. We have not dishonored or given alms......"
Debora shook her head, then got up. "That's it, Mr. Spotzer. The differences between our two sides are so great that I think it is absolutely impossible to reach an agreement. ”
This is to declare the breakdown of the negotiations and then leave.
Szell stood up, reaching out to hold on.
After all, Rongguang is the most successful Chinese player for so many years, thinking about the huge Chinese market behind him, Shi Zeer is not willing to let Debola go like this.
The price must be pressed, but the purpose of the price reduction is not to anger the players, but to seek to maximize benefits.
Wouldn't it be beautiful if you could sign Glory and at a very low cost?
So Szell said, "You may consider it, Miss Debola. Adidas's influence in the world is very huge, and if Rong can successfully sign us, it will also be a great help to build his personal brand. In addition, we also note that Rong is not currently playing for the Chinese team. And Adidas is a good partner of the Chinese Football Association and the Chinese national team. I think that if Rong can sign us, Adidas will be happy to push Rong in the matter of Rong being selected for the Chinese national team......"
Debora smiled at Spotzer.
Her smile stunned Spotzer - what a beautiful smile this woman had!
But behind this smile is indeed Debora's categorical refusal.
"The affairs of the national team, I think as long as Rong wants to go, he will definitely be able to go, and this will not bother your company. I think the gap between the two sides is still very big, so there is no need to continue wasting time. I'm sorry, Mr. Schzel, and I hope we will have the opportunity to work together in the future. ”
With that, she turned and walked away without hesitation. She won't let Szell think she's trying to get away with it.
In fact, after this contact, she no longer wanted to work with the arrogant Germans.
Anyway, the sports brand is not just one Adidas.
It's just that Rongguang is in Germany, and Adidas headquarters is also in Germany.
※※※
When Debora turned to leave, Shi Zell was also wondering if this was the young lady's strategy, pretending not to talk about it, and using leaving to force himself to give in first.
But how could you be soft?
Adidas is one of the world's leading sports brands, and its big-name players don't know how many they have. How could they possibly give in to a newcomer?
He thinks that it should be Debora and Glory who will be soft.
As long as she goes back and thinks about it calmly, she will understand that this price is really cheap for Rongguang. Based on his knowledge of those Chinese players, the endorsement fee of 400,000 euros a year is already the highest among Chinese players.
So Szell believed that Debora would definitely call him.
That's probably the time for real negotiations.
He stood in the office, and did not say a word, but coldly watched Debora leave.
※※※
"Didn't work out?" After Rongguang heard Debola's report, he was a little surprised.
When he heard that Adidas was a German brand, he was quite confident in this negotiation. With his performance in the Bundesliga, he will definitely interest Adidas.
"For what?" Glory asked again.
"They say you're not up to par." Debora gave him a blank look.
"Damn! How could I fall short of the mark? ”
"Because you don't have much media exposure." Debora said. "They say that you are rarely interviewed in the media, that your coverage is limited to match reports, and that the public doesn't know enough about you, so your visibility is low. If the popularity is low, the natural endorsement fee will be low. 400,000 euros a year, a five-year contract, are you willing? ”
Rongguang was stunned, and then shook his head: "It's only five years...... Million? That's so little! But...... Giving interviews will delay my training......"
"It won't be long in coming. You can't deal with the media every day, either. Debora said. Do you want to make a lot of money, Rong? ”
"Of course you want to, who wouldn't?"
"Then you listen to me. You did well on the pitch. But you need to let others know you better. We have to build your momentum so that more people know who you are. It is necessary to form a topic ...... in public opinion"
"Then what are you hesitating about?! Let's go find a newspaper for an interview! Glory shouted impatiently.
Debora held her forehead with her hand: "Not now, Rong ......"
"Huh?" Glory was unexpected.
"For what? Didn't you say you were going to give more media interviews? Rongguang asked.
"Interviews with the media also depend on timing, and showing up at the best time can maximize the effect." Debora explained with a glorious face.
"What time is it?" Glory asked.
"Your performance in the first two rounds of the league has been very strange for everybody, and there has been a discussion in the media about how you have been doing well and badly. That's the media attention, but that's not enough, everyone is just curious, speculating, but lacking a flashpoint......" Debora sat in front of Rongguang and explained to Rongguang with body language.
"It's the winter break, the media attention has shifted to the transfer and you're not the protagonist of the public opinion. But the media will remember. So at the beginning of the second half of the season, you're going to have to rehash your performance in the first two games. The heat will be stirred up again. The more curious people are about you, the more interested they are about how you're going to be in the game. At that time...... If you can come up with a subversive performance, there is a breaking point. ”
Rongguang nodded hurriedly: "This is easy to do, is it to perform well on the court?" I'm the best at it! ”
"Don't speak too slowly, Rong. You're just starting your training. What if the performance is not good? ”
Glory shook his head like a rattle: "Impossible, impossible. In order to make money, you have to perform well! ”
Rongguang's obsession with money is now very understandable to Debola, so seeing that Rongguang said this, Debora didn't talk about this topic anymore. She just nodded, "Okay then." When you're back in the game, there's a lot of media coverage of your contrasts, and that's when you...... There's never been a better time for you to come out and be interviewed by the media! ”
When it comes to her profession, Debora shows a strong sense of self-confidence. The tone of his voice is completely different from before.
Rongguang was a little stunned when he saw the expression of confident guidance.
The Debora in front of him looked so strange, completely different from the Debora who was always silent, concise, and unsmiling next to him...... He almost thought he had seen the wrong person.
Debora then noticed Glory's eyes as well.
"What's wrong?" She asked curiously.
"Uh, no, nothing." Rongguang hurriedly shook his head and diverted the topic. "So, as long as I continue to train during this time, right?"
"Yes, keep training and try to improve yourself."
Rongguang squeezed his hands and clicked: "Hehe, I'm good at this!" ”
