While the Portuguese media were all grinding for Portugal's Wolf Bèi's narrow goal win over Albania, and the subsequent war of words between Queiroz and the media, Jonker, who had returned to Manchester, was dining with Mendes and his new agent team member Ma Tianxiang at an Italian restaurant, and the caviar-flavored pasta made Jonk have an appetite, just as he is feeling right now.

Ma Tianxiang is the leader of Jonke's Asia-Pacific market development team, Mendes has recommended Ma Tianxiang to Jonk more than once, today is the first time Jonk has seen Ma Tianxiang, and he has seen this 'right-hand man', Ma Tianxiang gives him the impression that the whole person is very 'humorous', sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, eyebrows are very thick, if you wear a coat, you can tell stories on Yanjing flyover.

Fortunately, Ma Tianxiang was used to the expression of people when he met for the first time, so he didn't care, he was very friendly and took the initiative to shake hands with Jonke: "Hello, Mr. Jonke, it's a pleasure to meet you." Working under you, I finally see you. ”

Jonke also liked Ma Tianxiang's cheerful personality, and he only knew after asking that Ma Tianxiang's grandparents were really storytellers, so Jonke thought, no wonder.

Mendes was very satisfied with the first meeting between the two, he signaled Ma Tianxiang not to be restrained, in fact, Ma Tianxiang's face could not see a little restraint, this person is familiar, although facing the boss, but not honestly afraid, but very polite, and not flattering.

Mendes said with a smile, "Don't look at Ma Tianxiang who seems to be very gossipy, when he works, he is very unlucky." Thinking creativity is not even said. ”

"The business development plan I mentioned to you is Ma Tianxiang's handiwork." Mendez said.

Jonk looked interested and appreciative. That business development plan, Jonk didn't know much about. However, Mendes is secretive, which also piqued Jonk's interest.

"Why don't you eat it?" Jonker saw that most of the pasta on Ma Tianxiang's plate was still left.

"I'm not used to eating." Ma Tianxiang frowned slightly, "It's not as good as Lanzhou ramen." ”

Jonk was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and the other customers in the restaurant looked at him, and Jonk coughed embarrassedly, but fortunately he dressed up so that others didn't recognize him. Otherwise, it's troublesome.

"I thought you were going to say, I was so picky, the first time we met, I only invited you to eat pasta." Jonk said with a smile. Then he picked up a square towel and wiped his mouth, "Speaking of which." What exactly are your plans? ”

Ma Tianxiang looked at Mendes, and Mendes coughed and motioned for Ma Tianxiang to come up.

Ma Tianxiang was grateful, knowing that Mendes was giving him the opportunity to create a zào, and then he said to Jonke: "Mr. Jonke." You should know Li Ning. ”

Jonk nodded, he didn't say whether he knew the athlete Li Ning or the brand Junk.

"We plan to build a brand that is not inferior to Li Ning in about five years. This brand will occupy a considerable market in the Asia-Pacific region at the same time. In the overseas market, we will surpass the brand of Li Ning. ”

Jonk was stunned. "You're talking about this new brand—"

"Jonker!" Mendes and Ma Tianxiang looked at each other and smiled, and said. What they say is that the name of the brand is 'Jonker'. It's like the brand Li Ning.

"It's also a sports brand?"

"Yes, the sports brand started, we believe that your influence is incomparable to that of Li Ning back then, which is very beneficial to the promotion of the brand."

The success of the Li Ning brand is not only a legend, but also has its particularity. It can be said that it is 'the rise of Chinese characteristics'.

After retiring in 1989, Li Ning joined Guangdong Jianlibao Group, founded the 'Li Ning' sporting goods brand, and took the opportunity of sponsoring the Chinese delegation of the 90th Asian Games to start the business of Li Ning Company, thus creating a precedent for the operation of the Chinese sporting goods brand.

In the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, the 'Li Ning brand' was selected as the special award-winning equipment of the Chinese sports delegation, thus ending the history of Chinese athletes wearing foreign sports brand clothing in the Olympic Games. After ten years of development, 'Li Ning' has already become the first brand of Chinese sporting goods.

At present, Li Ning is leading its own company to make great strides towards the goal of brand internationalization, and at present, 'Li Ning' has signed agency agreements with distributors in nine overseas countries and regions......

Li Ning has also contributed a lot to major Chinese sports events such as Yanjing's Olympic bid, and of course, has also received great benefits.

It can be said that the success of 'Li Ning' is inseparable from the good relationship between China's sports industry and the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China.

Thinking of this, Jonk felt that Mendes and Ma Tianxiang's mention seemed to be overlooking one thing.

Jonke talked about his understanding of the development of the Li Ning brand.

"I really didn't expect that, Mr. Jonker, you know Li Ning so well." Ma Tianxiang was surprised to hear Joan Ke talking.

'But now that I'm playing in England, I don't think I'll have that much influence at home.' Jonk frowned and voiced his concerns.

Mendez shook the spoon gently, "No, no, Jonker. You completely underestimate your influence in China and the Asia-Pacific region, most fans in China still understand you, your game in Manchester United, as long as there is a live broadcast in China, the ratings are definitely quite impressive, and many fans will stay up late to watch the game. In the Asia-Pacific region, especially in Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and other places, your influence is also quite large, not to mention Hong Kong, you should have experienced these yourself. ”

Jonk nodded, in the Asia-Pacific region, he knew that he was very popular, Manchester United's Asia-Pacific tour, he could feel the madness of the fans, among them, when he first went to Japan with the Manchester United team, he was still surprised by the madness of the Japanese fans. He couldn't have imagined that a Chinese player would have so many fans in Japan.

In Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and other countries and regions, because they were once British colonies, the Premier League matches are very popular in the local area. And this made Jonk even more popular.

"Your global influence is huge, as the most influential player in international football today. Boss, you may not know how much your name represents. Ma Tianxiang said. He's already called Jonk the boss, which Jonk has requested, and he thinks 'Mr. Lee' sounds a little awkward.

"Perhaps in less than five years, the 'Jonke' brand will occupy a large market share in the Asia-Pacific region, become a new star brand, and begin to go out of the Asia-Pacific region and enter the European and American markets. In about five years, it will be rolled out globally. Our goal is to be a brand that competes with Nike and Adidas. The more Ma Tianxiang spoke, the more excited he became.

Jonk had to admit that the plan was great, and he was fascinated by it. He looked at Mendez, meaning, you also say something, specific.

Mendes smiled, "It's not a good place to talk about these specifics, you don't want to save money, Manchester's most luxurious presidential suite, let's go." ”

Jonk left the business development of the brand to Mendes and Ma Tianxiang. He is still mainly playing football, and Jonk has not forgotten that he is first and foremost a player, a watch on the football field, and he will always be a large number of fans. To put it mildly, the football stadium is his base.

As for commercial development, Jonk is only grasping a general direction. The specifics are just a question, in Mendes' words. Just look for him when it's time to sign and count the money.

In the next 8th round of the league, Manchester United 3:1 Leeds United at home. Won the first race of the season' Rose Derby', Jonk started the game and scored a goal, and the number of league goals this season reached 5, Jonk returned to form in the game with Chelsea, the table was very good, and the number of goals came up all of a sudden, which made the competition for the golden boot in the league this season full of suspense again: Anelka's goals reached 10 goals, Liverpool's Torres also scored 7 goals, and Jonk had 5 goals, and the whole league also had a lot, in the words of the media, this is' Belong to the shooter's season.

In midweek, Manchester United beat Celtic 1-0 at home to matchday three of the Champions League group stage.

Two seasons ago, the match between Manchester United and Celtic caused the famous riot, with a number of players on both sides, including Jonk, suspended, and the historical feud between England and Scotland, so the Manchester police also paid special attention to this game, and almost half of the Manchester police force was deployed to maintain order in this game.

The deadlock of the game was broken near the end of the first half, after Jonker received a pass from Anderson, he knocked on his beautiful heel, and Rooney, who was following the ball, shot the ball, and the football went into the net, 1:0.

It was also the only goal of the game. After this game, the Champions League group stage has been played three times, Manchester United have two wins and one draw to accumulate seven points, and Villarreal have the same points, but Manchester United has more goal difference than Villarreal to finish first in the group.

The weather was getting worse and worse, there were not a few sunny days of the week, and Jonk knew that late autumn in England was coming, and winter was about to begin.

In the away game with Everton at the weekend, Jonker left the field with an injury, and the team was forced to draw 1:1 by Everton, but fortunately, after the diagnosis of the team doctor, Jonker's injury is not a major problem, and he only needs to rest for a week. This is also caused by muscle fatigue, Jonk has not rested for two seasons, and he is the main force of Manchester United's thunderous team, and his physical condition is indeed worrying.

Although he only needs to rest for a week or so, he will miss the two Premier League games in midweek and at the weekend, which makes Jonk also helpless, he is now in good form, his feet are hot, and Jonk himself wants to score as many goals as possible to keep up with the top scorer position, but he did not expect to be injured.

Nana, who is far away in South Korea, also called to comfort her boyfriend, so that Jonk could take advantage of this week to rest. Hang up the phone, Jonk is a little depressed, at this time, he most hopes that Nana can be by his side, this is not Junk's hypocrisy, his social circle is not wide, usually in addition to the game, there are occasional business activities, now, staying at home, it really feels boring.

If the old nightlife is restored, the life that has just been calmer will be completely disrupted, and Jonk does not want to do that for the time being.

"It's raining outside. When will you arrive? Jonk asked Mendez on the phone. Outside the window in front of him, the rain was dense and fell on the red house with the spire. It has a fairytale feel.

He had just gone to the team doctor in the morning for a check-up, and there was nothing wrong with him. However, the team doctor still advised Yì Jonk not to play in the weekend's league. In midweek matches for the 10th round of the league. Manchester United 2-0 West Ham United at home, Wayne Rooney scored twice.

Little Fat Man's league goals this season also reached 7 goals, which made Rooney very proud, and as soon as it was over, he called Jonk and said that he was going to snatch the Golden Boot from Jonk's hands this season. Jonk only replied, "Well, I won't give you an assist in the game." The little fat man immediately reined in his smugness and became obedient.

London. Siathrow Airport.

Jonk gave Mendes a strong hug.

"Hey, tap! Bones are going to break! Mendes shouted, "The media reports that you're injured, and I think you can fight for three hundred rounds now." ”

"Three hundred rounds of battle? And you? Jonk wanted to joke, but as soon as he said this, he felt disgusted and snorted twice.

"Oops, you're so bad." Mendes pinched his nose and shouted in a strange tone.

Jonk felt like his goosebumps were coming out.

Back home in Manchester.

"Damn. Jonk, I've come all the way from Portugal, and you invite me to instant noodles, and you don't want to think about it. I've been running around for a month, and I'm as tired as a dog. Am I easy. Mendes complained.

Jonk rolled his eyes, and he got up himself and rummaged through the fridge. He took a red sausage and handed it to Mendez. "Here you go, add food."

Mendez sighed, "A single man. ”

Jonk said, "I'm not single, it's just that my girlfriend isn't home right now." ”

"That's the difference with being single, you see how you're doing. What about the servants? ”

"It turns out that the one has returned to Nottingham, and he hasn't had time to find a new one yet." Jonk said with a little headache.

Mendes has been shouting that he has been in England so many times, and he has made money for Jonk, making cattle and horses, and he has not seen Jonk take him to enjoy himself, although Jonk knows that Mendes is just joking, but think about it.

He just thought about taking Mendes out to have a dash, anyway, for the two of them, money is not a problem.

Jonk made a call to the little fat man, and he figured that Rooney should have returned home from training.

As soon as the little fat man proposed to go to the casino to play, Mendes came to be interested, he had not seen the British casino, for this building, Jonk was noncommittal, anyway, it was to play, whatever, he himself was not interested in gambling, if Mendes hadn't come over today, he himself would have been idle and bored at home, and he would not have looked for Rooney, sure enough, this guy is not a good thing, and he said that he wanted to go to the casino to play.

This is a high-end casino in Manchester, only members can enter, Jonk and Mendes are not members, but this is not a problem, the little fat man took out three VIP cards from his pocket, shook triumphantly, and handed them to the waiter. In fact, Rooney is a regular customer of the casino, and the waiter certainly knows him, but it is a rule that you must enter by card.

Jonk is a little strange, how can the little fat man have three VIP cards, Rooney explained with a grin, one of the cards is his own, and the other two cards, one is Owen's, and one is Cristiano Ronaldo's, because the three of them often act together, and the cards of both are placed here with Rooney, which happens to be useful today.

Gamblers and tourists come and go in the casino, and Jonk also sees Crouch and Gareth. Barry and other Premier League stars, they just said hello and didn't talk about anything, after all, they came here to play, and besides, everyone has their own little circle. However, Crouch and the others were surprised to see Jonk appear in the casino, after all, Jonk never came to these places.

"Jonker, is it that your girlfriend is not around and can't bear to be lonely?"

When Jonk heard someone talking, he turned his head to look, but it was Terry, which surprised him, this kid actually came to the casino to play, it seems that he is really outdated.

Terry saw Rooney, his face changed slightly, he said hello to Rooney, and left, Jonk was not surprised, there was a little contradiction between Rooney and Terry, how to say it, the two guys were not convinced by each other, and once they almost fought in training in the England team.

Rooney and Mendes couldn't help it anymore when they saw the hunt, and the two hurried to change some chips and prepare to play.

However, Jonk didn't mean to gamble, he didn't like this kind of game. He is not a gambling person himself, so he said to the two guys. You guys play your own, I'll take a look from the side.

Jonk noted. When the people who were playing high saw Rooney come in, they all rushed to double the bet. Seeing this detail, Jonk smiled, it seems that the little fat man is very famous in this casino, but it doesn't seem to be a master, obviously, in the eyes of these gamblers, Rooney should belong to the kind of fat sheep with bad gambling luck.

Rooney smiled. Appearing in a good mood, he boasted to Mendes that he played this the best, and Mendes smiled and didn't say anything.

Rooney and Mendes sat down at the table at 21 o'clock and had to admire the work ethic of the little fat man, and as soon as he was seated, Rooney was fully focused, even more nervous and serious than he was on the pitch, and they played the kind of game of £500 a game.

The first game. Mendes and Wayne Rooney both lost.

Rooney clapped his hands and said to Mendes, "It's okay, Lady Luck will take care of us." ”

More than an hour passed. Obviously, the little fat man's luck was not good, and Lady Luck did not favor him. The dislucked Wayne Rooney lost £20,000.

The little fat man's face began to show murderousness, and people knew his temper. Slowly, it moved away from him. Seeing this detail, Jonk almost laughed. It seems that the little fat man's bad temper is really quite famous.

Having lost most of his chips on 21, Rooney was indignant and called Mendes to play roulette. However, looking at the chips in front of Mendes, the little fat man was stunned, he lost more than 20,000 pounds in this meeting, but Gatedez won more than 30,000 pounds in chips.

This made the little fat man who was still bragging about his gambling skills hot on his face just now, and Jonk looked funny, and asked the little fat man knowingly, "Wayne, how much did you win?" ”

The little fat man sat in front of the roulette wheel with a black face, and Mendes squeezed his eyes at Jonker, smiled proudly, and squeezed over to play roulette.

Jonk was bored, yawned, and wandered around to see for himself.

"Huh! How did you end up here? ”

Jonk asked for a can of beer, just drank two sips, and suddenly heard a voice behind him and remembered, he said two bad words in his heart, and turned his head to look, sure enough, it was Kirie Hazel, but what made Jonk even more surprised was that the sexy beauty next to Kirie Hazel was actually Kylie Brooke.

Two of England's sexiest soccer babes actually appeared in a casino? This surprised Jonker.

"Miss Hazel, Miss Brooke, did not expect to meet two of the most beautiful young ladies in England here." Jonk smiled and looked at the chips in Kelly Brooke's hand, "You're interested in playing too?" ”

"When it's okay, play and relax." Brooke smiled faintly. Kiri Hazel frowned slightly and didn't say anything.

Jonk snorted and didn't say anything, he was going to ask how the two of them ended up together, but it seemed that England's two sexiest football babes didn't have a good relationship with each other, so he kept his mouth shut.

Gilly Hazel is an old acquaintance of Jonker, and Gilly Hazel has interviewed Jonk many times, as for the sexy beauty Kelly who is called the 'Ninth Wonder of the World' by English men. Brooke, Jonker have only met twice, not familiar.

"Jonker, I didn't expect you to be on such an occasion. ”

Jonk touched his face and said, "Disappointed?" Do you think I'm bad at learning? ”

"yes, yes, I'm sad and sad." Jili Hazelge smiled, "Be careful, girlfriend knows." ”

Jonk didn't speak, it was hard to say anything on this topic, and he turned his head to look at Kelly. Brooke, "Miss Brooke is getting prettier. ”

Kiri Hazel pursed her lips, obviously unhappy with Jonker's compliment to Brooke, Jonk had to pretend not to see it, he decided to leave these two quickly, the beauty is good, but, these two top beauties are still a little bit against each other, Jonk can't afford it.

"Thank you." Brooke smiled sweetly, "Jonker, you're really good, you're my favorite star right now, I'll watch you play whenever I have time." ”

Jonke smiled bitterly, how did he feel that he had become a tool for these two beauties to fight, and said with a smile: "Thank you, you guys have fun, I'm going to see my friends." ”

Gillie Hazel pouted and said, "Beware of Sir Alex Ferguson knowing that you have come to gamble while you are recuperating from your injuries. ”

Jonker's face changed, he knew that Kiri Hazel was just talking casually, but Jonk knew that if Ferguson knew that he appeared in the casino when he was recuperating from his injury, it would be really troublesome, although Jonk did just accompany his friends and did not gamble, but who would believe this?
