Chapter 1239: Football League
Feng Yu has just returned to China from the United States, and this year's World Cup is over. The result was no surprise. In the end, Brazil won the championship, while Ronaldinho won the Golden Boot and Kahn won the Golden Globe.
When Feng Yu asked Zong Qingxian to sign Ronaldinho, Zong Qingxian was not happy about it. The reason was not because Ronaldinho was not famous enough, but because Ronaldinho was too ugly!
That's right, whether in the eyes of Westerners or Easterners, Ronaldinho is ugly, with his iconic buck teeth, which is so unforgettable.
It was also because of this that Ronaldinho was not signed by Liangle Company, which made the Huaxia Beverage League a big leak. Although Ronaldinho was very skilled in the game before, his popularity was very low. Many were not as good as him. Because of his good looks, he was able to rely on various advertising endorsements, and his income was several times that of him!
So the Huaxia Beverage League directly signed a ten-year long contract with Ronaldinho, and Ronaldinho actually agreed.
The endorsement contract is not high, but it includes a number of reward clauses, which encourage Ronaldinho to maintain a better competitive state, so that he can make more money.
Feng Yu knew that the blow to Ronaldinho was more than that. Real Madrid, the number one giant in Europe, had a chance to sign Ronaldinho next year, but after weighing, they chose Beckham.
At that time, many people were puzzled. It is obvious that Robbie Beckham has higher potential at this time, and in the 2002 World Cup, the scenery is boundless.
However, the manager of Real Madrid said that Ronaldinho was too ugly from the perspective of economic interests, and no one would be willing to buy his jersey. Even when Ronaldinho won the Golden Boot in 2002, not many people asked him for his autograph.
But Beckham is different, no matter in the West or the East, he is a handsome guy, even in Africa, there are fans of him, and the facts have proved that after Real Madrid bought Beckham, they really made a lot of money. But this also allowed Barcelona to take advantage of it. Ronaldinho will definitely be at his peak in the next few years.
Ronaldinho was promoted as the main star. At least in Europe and South America, the sales of China Beverage League's products have increased a lot. Liangle Company regretted it a little. I didn't expect this Ronaldinho to be so powerful.
But they also feel that it doesn't matter, Beckham and other balloon stars are all under their flag, they don't believe it, after Ronaldinho has gone downhill in two years, there are still some stars in the beverage major league, is it still the one who mainly promotes the basketball player? Carter?
With another championship this year, Carter's popularity has once again increased. In North America, relying on Carter, the sales of beverages have also increased again. What's more, summer is the peak season for beverage sales.
Ronaldinho's success also made Zong Qingxian believe that those young athletes Feng Yu mentioned before are worth signing.
So Zong Qingxian didn't hesitate anymore, and asked those who were sent out to contact and sign the contract to cut through the mess quickly, asking for a ten-year long contract with various reward terms.
Short-term contracts are definitely not good, these people are not well-known at this time.
At this time, Feng Yu and Wen Dongjun were sitting in a small restaurant, eating simple home-cooked food and chatting with beer.
"You are really amazing. How do you know that South Korea can enter the semi-finals? Before, I thought that South Korea was not much better than China."
"It is the first time for South Koreans to host the World Cup. Although it is a partnership, it can be regarded as one of the hosts. As for the host, there is a lot of room for maneuvering. For example, in this year's NBA, the Nets relied on their home court advantage to give A painful lesson for the Lakers..."
Feng Yu talked about the little tricks the Nets made, and told Wen Dongjun how great the advantage the hosts have.
"You mean, the South Koreans harassed those other teams?"
"This was reported by the media, I'm not talking nonsense. And how serious the black whistle in South Korea is, you know it on TV, right? The referee's penalty is basically two standards. South Korea is about to become a full-fledged martial arts practice, and they haven't fouled yet. But they They only dare to hack to the semi-finals, if they are allowed to enter the finals, even if they get the third place, the people of FIFA will be even more ashamed!"
"Tsk, I knew we would apply too. If it was held in our country, wouldn't we be able to make a breakthrough? You said that this year we finally entered the World Cup, but we came back with our heads shaved. I expected so much before. To watch the game, I But I didn't even play the game." Wen Dongjun looked depressed.
"If you want to apply for the World Cup, why do you have to enter the World Cup twice? We only have the first time this year, and the conditions are insufficient. What's more, we have just successfully applied for the Olympics. At least we have to wait until the Olympics have passed before we can apply for the World Cup, right? Every time The holding of international competitions can bring a lot of benefits to the country, and we can't let us take all the benefits."
Why doesn't Feng Yu want to hold the World Cup at home, but your team also needs to be strong enough. It can't be that you held the World Cup, but you didn't even qualify for the selection, right? How embarrassing that must be.
"Then why don't you say that our country's football strength can't improve? There are so many people in our country and so many people who like football, but why can't we choose eleven people who are worthy of the game?" Wen Dongjun sighed Angry, it seems that he is indisputable.
"Let me ask you, if you told Uncle Wen when you were a child that you wanted to be a football player when you grow up, what would Uncle Wen do?"
"Then you don't have to ask. I will definitely slap my dream away. If it is serious, I'm afraid I will use a willow stick."
"That's the end of it. Many families are like this. They think that playing football is just for fun and not a proper job."
This is the real society. The football atmosphere in China is far inferior to table tennis. If you say you want to be a table tennis player, your family will definitely support you.
In Europe, America, Africa, and even other countries in Asia, football players are all stars, no worse than movie stars. In China, many people don't even know the names of the national team players, let alone recognize their faces.
"Then what should we do? Hey, you have a basketball team in the United States and it is so successful, why can't you have a football team in our country? Your company is so big, how good is it to have a football team?" Wen Dongjun said suddenly.
Feng Yu thought about it, and it seems that the football atmosphere in China is not bad at this time. At least with the Dongfeng who entered the World Cup this year, the attendance rate of the stadium has been very good in the past two years. However, there were some messy things mixed in, which later led to the deprivation of the champion of Modu.
"This can also be considered. Later, I will ask Zong Qingxian to ask him to contact and buy a team. By the way, you said that all teams form a sports league. Is it okay if I buy this league?"
Wen Dongjun opened his mouth wide, and the peanuts he just picked up on the chopsticks fell on the table: "What are you talking about? You want to form a football league?!"
