Chapter 1144. Great News!

When Jin Taige heard Woodward say "extremely good news", what came to his mind were the two-dollar stores on China Street in his previous life...

Jin Taige suppressed laughter and then asked: "Ed, what is the good news that makes you so excited?"

Woodward said with excitement: "Just a few days ago, our club's three largest sponsors all called the boss and expressed their intention to renew the sponsorship contract in advance!"

Jin Taige nodded: "This is a good thing."

Woodward slapped him: "Of course! They are very committed to the contract renewal work, and maybe it can be carried out in advance next month! And they also said that if Manchester United can win the Champions League again this season, it will become the third consecutive Champions League. If they want to win the championship, then they will renew the sponsorship contract in advance in July, and the overall sponsorship fee will increase by 50%! Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

Jin Taige was also very surprised: "A 50% increase? Is this a good thing that has never happened before?"

Woodward stood up and walked back and forth in the office. He had long lost his previous composure. He was beaming with joy: "If this new sponsorship contract can be reached, then we will earn about 100 million euros more every year! 100 million euros ah!"

"Not only these three companies, but also several other advertisers that cooperate with our club also want to increase their prices. If a chain reaction can be formed, then we, Manchester United, will make a lot of money!"

Woodward sat back across from Kim Tiger and looked at him excitedly: "Tiger, if these new sponsorships can be achieved, then you can at least get millions in championship bonuses! There are also transfer fees for next season. Starting from at least 200 million euros!”

As the club's CEO, it's understandable that Woodward is so excited. After all, his biggest goal is to help the club make money. Kim Tiger looked at Woodward, who also had a smile on his face.

But Woodward's expression suddenly changed, and his expression that was excited just now suddenly became serious.

"Tiger, although this is a great opportunity, we also have great risks!"

"The boss told me that several advertising sponsors said that if we can win three consecutive Champions League titles, their brand effect will be greatly improved. This is the basis for them to increase sponsorship fees. But if We ended up not being able to win the Champions League final and ended up losing the match, which would be troublesome."

Jin Taige frowned: "Even if we don't win three consecutive Champions League titles, Manchester United will still be the top team in Europe! Will they still give up sponsorship? Don't forget, with our influence, we want to advertise There are so many sponsors!”

Woodward shook his head: "Tiger, you can't say that. If we lose in the Champions League final, well, yes, we are still Europe's top giants, but our influence has dropped several levels. And Real Madrid, who beat us, It will definitely become the new favorite of advertisers.”

"Do you remember that a few years ago, Zidane faced the same situation as us, fighting for three consecutive Champions League championships. But in the end, Real Madrid was defeated by your team. Since then, Real Madrid has been in decline and advertising revenue has also dropped. Although the skinny camels are bigger than horses, in just one or two years, their income is about 30% less than ours! This ratio is quite impressive!"

At this point, Woodward said to Kim Tiger with sincerity: "The world is so cruel. People only remember the number one, and no one remembers the number two. The highest peak in the world is Mount Everest. Who knows who is the second highest peak in the world?" ?”

“K2.

"Jin Taige spit out a sentence leisurely.

Woodward was stunned, and he continued: "What about third?"

"The third is Kanchenjunga, the fourth is Lhotse, and the fifth is..."

Jin Tiger wanted to continue talking, but Woodward couldn't bear it anymore: "Tiger, stop making trouble! I'm talking to you about business!"

At this time, Jin Taige smiled, and he resumed his relaxed posture, leaning on the sofa: "Ed, I asked you why you called me here in such a hurry, and then you said that the sponsorship fee was increased, and there was talk about the transfer budget. He already had 200 million, and he even said he would give me several million in championship bonuses, but it turned out that he was just trying to give me some encouragement in advance to prepare for the Champions League final."

Seeing that Jin Tiger had seen through his thoughts, Woodward stopped pretending and looked helpless: "Tiger, I know I can't hide anything from you. In fact, what I just said is true. Sponsorship fees The increase in the transfer budget and the increase in the transfer budget are all true, and the three consecutive Champions League titles demanded by advertisers are also true. The boss called me in the morning, on the one hand to talk about it, and on the other hand to ask me to talk to you. , let’s see how confident we are in the Champions League final, can we win back the championship steadily?”

Hearing this, Jin Tiger waved his hand, which scared Woodward and said: "Tiger, what do you mean! Are you saying that our Champions League championship is out of the question!"

Jin Taige couldn't laugh or cry: "Ed, don't worry, that's not what I meant. I'm talking about the competition. No one dares to say before the game that they will definitely win. What I can do now is to prepare well for the competition and put all the preparations into practice." Do your best. As for whether you can win the championship, in addition to strength, it also depends on luck."

"I had guessed you would say that..." Woodward sighed, "Tiger, think about it, as long as you can win three consecutive Champions League championships, that's money! A lot of money. !”

Jin Taige looked out the window and said slowly: "Ed, I think you may not understand the impact of this three consecutive Champions League championships. This is not just a matter of sponsorship fees for three to five years, but a team's foundation." Question. In the history of the Champions League, Real Madrid has won 11 Champions League titles, AC Milan has won 7 Champions League titles, Bayern and Liverpool have both won 5 Champions League titles. And after we won two consecutive Champions League titles, we also Tied Bayern and Liverpool and won 5 Champions League titles."

"If we can win the Champions League final again this year, then we will surpass Bayern and Liverpool and become the third team to win the Champions League in history! This is definitely an honor worth being proud of!"

"In addition, if we win three consecutive Champions League titles, we will write a glorious chapter in the history of world football and become the only one!"

"Ed, you don't need to use money to encourage me. Don't worry. No matter what angle you consider, I will try my best to win this Champions League championship! This is the glory that belongs to Manchester United and it is also the glory that belongs to me!"
