The Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle drove for about 20 minutes and arrived at Herzogenaurach, where Puma's headquarters is located.
This is a small town in Erlangen-Hochstadt County, in the central part of Bavaria, the administrative region of Rankine.
"This is the Aurach River, and our headquarters is on the other side of the river."
Erich Kara pointed to the diamond-shaped building located on the bank of the stream, which looked like it was floating in the air. The classic three stripes already said something: "Our company's mortal enemy, Adidas."
Chang Jin smiled slightly and did not say anything.
It's the 21st century. How can there be mortal enemies between companies?
Besides, the founders of the two companies have all died, and their descendants have sold all their shares.
Driving over a bridge in the river.
About two minutes later, the commercial vehicle stopped.
Chang Jin looked through the car window and saw a three-story red building next to it.
The white puma 1ogo that leaps up is very eye-catching.
That's right!
This is the headquarters building of Puma!
In front of the headquarters building, there is also a huge welcoming team.
According to Erich Kara's advance introduction, the team is very large.
Puma headquarters' senior vice president Eric Jefferson, European business general manager Ben Hughes, and Asia Pacific president Jorg Zobel.
The famous Spanish agent Jose Odin is very satisfied with Puma's welcoming team.
It can be easily seen from the huge reception team that Puma attaches great importance to signing Chang Jin!
Then.
"Hello!"
"Hello!!"
Chang Jin shook hands with Puma executives one by one accompanied by Jose Odin.
"Click", "Click", "Click"——
The media reporters who were invited to Puma headquarters in advance kept pressing the camera button in their hands to record this scene and keep it as newspaper material.
Although the two parties have not signed yet, Chang Jin's visit to Puma headquarters has already said something!
Besides, Puma will not be stupid enough to pay for itself to watch a soap opera, right?
However, Chang Jin came to Puma headquarters today not to sign, but to visit first.
The signing process will start at 10 am tomorrow.
At that time, Puma headquarters CEO Bjorn Gulden will personally preside over the signing ceremony.
Chang Jin is a little curious about this Puma CEO who was a professional football player and handball player when he was young.
How did he achieve such a big leap?
After visiting the headquarters building, he went to the fairy-tale Puma Industrial Park.
Since the Puma Industrial Park is very large, it would take at least two hours to walk around.
Therefore, Chang Jin, Jose Odin and Puma executives took the Puma company's open-top sightseeing car to the park.
They also stopped at certain R&D centers.
The lowest-ranking Asia-Pacific president, Jorg Zobel, was responsible for the introduction..
Golf equipment R&D center, track and field equipment R&D center, basketball equipment R&D center...
Halfway through the journey, Eric Jefferson, a bald senior vice president who is over 1.9 meters tall, pointed to a building and said, "Chang, this is the original FI equipment R&D center, which was renamed the Michael Schumacher Building in 2007."
Chang Jin is very smart and immediately understood what Eric Jefferson meant.
Is it named the Schumacher Building because of love? Is it responsibility?
Obviously neither.
It is Schumacher who has brought Puma enough commercial benefits.
A win-win naming.
The subtext is that in the future, I hope he can make achievements in football.
Then the football equipment R&D center can also be renamed as Chang Jin Building.
Thinking of this, Chang Jin really has some yearning.
But the premise is that Puma will not boycott Western cotton like other clothing companies in seven or eight years.
Otherwise, there is no need to continue the cooperation.
Not long after, a group of people arrived at the finale of the visit.
Football Equipment R&D Center.
According to Jorg Zobel, it is responsible for the design, development, and research of various materials and accessories of various football equipment.
It also introduced in detail the three classic football shoe series currently designed by Puma.
Future, Ultra and King.
The Future series focuses on control, a product that is very suitable for midfielders.
The current main spokesperson is Spanish international Fabregas.
The Ultra series focuses on speed, which is the lightest of all combat boots and is very suitable for the characteristics of speed-type players.
The current endorsement star is Aguero.
The King series is the most glorious series in Puma's history, focusing on nostalgia, heritage and comfort.
Since the mid-1960s, this pair of shoes has been worn by famous football stars such as Pele, Maradona, Eusebio, Cruyff and Matthäus.
That is why the design of this pair of shoes is still in the last century.
Considering the different aesthetics of the two eras, Puma CEO Bjorn Gulden has issued an order to develop the second generation of products.
According to Jorg Zobel, new products will be released in the next two years.
Come to the experience center of the football equipment R&D center building, Chang Jin took off his shoes under the guidance of the R&D staff.
That's right!
One of the purposes of this trip is to make customized shoes.
The staff first uses the most advanced tester to measure the data of the foot shape.
For example: foot length, foot width, foot circumference, etc.
First, a three-dimensional laser scanner is used to slowly scan the instep of the foot, and the computer connected next to it will record a set of data.
Even the data of the foot hair will be fully recorded.
Then he stepped carefully on the foot-shaped plate.
The round-head nails that were not stepped on would slowly rise to the ankle.=Height of the vertebra.
The connected computer will calculate the contour data of the sole of the foot in real time.
It is used to print out a 3D foot mold that is the same as Chang Jin's feet.
The tailor will then use it to sew the shoes by hand.
Finally, it is time to choose the color of the stripes.
Chang Jin chose Longguo Red.
The Germans' rigor is well reflected in the whole process.
Meticulous.
When the rigorous process was over, Senior Vice President Eric Jefferson smiled and looked at Chang Jin: "How do you feel~?"
"Great!"
Chang Jin did not hesitate to praise the words in his heart.
In the past, I only saw the customized shoes of stars on videos.
Now, he will also have his own combat boots!
However, the customized shoes are not so fast to be made, and it takes at least a week.
Considering that the new season will not start until August, there is no rush.
After leaving the football equipment R&D center, Chang Jin continued to eat in the headquarters cafeteria accompanied by three senior executives.
There were also reporters invited to the Puma headquarters.
Similar to China, the public relations department also gave gifts to reporters.
I just don’t know if there is the most direct money in the packaging bag.
……
At 10 o'clock the next morning, Chang Jin met with Puma President Bjorn Gulden accompanied by his agent Jose Odin.
They exchanged a few polite words and took a photo under the camera of the media reporters.
After cooperating to complete the relevant publicity work, they went to the signing room of the headquarters building.
The terms have been negotiated in advance, and it is impossible to modify the contract when the signing is approaching.
The legal affairs of Jose Odin’s agency and Puma’s legal affairs are still routine, checking each other to see if there are any clauses that have been modified.
It’s not that they don’t trust each other, but they follow the formal process.
Avoid any problems in the future.
Confirming that there are no problems, the legal affairs of both parties nodded to their employers to indicate that there are no problems.
Witnessed by many reporters, Chang Jin and Bjorn Gulden signed their names in three copies of the contract.
From this moment on, he is another football star under Puma!
After becoming a Puma contracted player, Chang Jin went to the shooting center after the necessary social activities.
A studio dedicated to shooting flat photos of Puma equipment.
Summer sportswear, shoulder bags, sneakers and other sports equipment.
In the next four years of cooperation, Chang Jin will also receive unlimited supply of Puma equipment.
At the same time, he can only wear Puma sportswear in public, otherwise it will trigger the relevant punishment mechanism.
……
Puma's football players have added another fierce player, and the mainstream European media that are paying attention to the upcoming European Cup have reported it.
Contract fees are usually trade secrets.
But there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world.
The best at digging out secretsThe Confidential Newspaper quickly got the sponsorship contract between Chang-Jin and Puma through free channels.
5 million euros!
Signed for four years!
Puma has the priority to match the contract in the last year of the contract.
Including the clause that Chang-Jin specially added was also dug out.
[During the contract period, if Party A (Puma) does something that damages the reputation of Longguo, Party B (Chang-Jin) will terminate the contract unconditionally, and Party A needs to compensate Party B for mental damages ten times the amount during the contract period. 】
The exposure of this special clause in Europe did not cause any sensation.
Longguo caused a huge sensation.
A few days ago, the reversal of Chang-Jin's solicitation of bribes from officials of the National Administration Department of the Football Association caused a great sensation.
If he hadn't been careful before meeting officials Xu Lin and Chen Jianmin and recorded the whole process.
Otherwise, it would be like yellow mud falling into the crotch, not shit, but shit.
It was the self-proof of the video that made those netizens who were led by the rhythm feel guilty towards Chang Jin. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
It has only been a few days, and the terms deliberately added by Chang Jin in his contract with Puma have been dug out.
Combined with the sentence "No other words, even if broken into pieces" said by the FA official when asking for bribes, Chang Jin has won higher evaluations in China.
[The FA is really damned! Why pretend to be dead at the critical moment? Why not call Chang Jin to the international match day list in June? ]
[The bullshit shortlist is determined in advance and it is difficult to change. It is obvious that Chang Jin's self-proof of innocence makes the FA feel embarrassed and continue to ignore it~]
[It is better not to call Chang Jin. Although the season has entered the summer vacation period, what if he is shortlisted and assimilated by the national football team? ]
[The damn FA is still a good person! I hope the FA will keep going! Please don't recruit Chang Jin! 】
[The Champions League is Chang Jin's World Cup! So... I want to see Chang Jin win his own World Cup! 】
[God, please come soon for the 2012-2013 season~]
...
The social media platforms Weibo and Tieba have been all about Chang Jin recently.
The FA has tried to cool down the heat deliberately.
As a result, netizens are enthusiastic and never tired of it.
This has caused the FA executives to have a hard time these days.
Who made Chang Jin bring his own traffic now?
First, the FA's official website and official Weibo were hacked, and then a large number of fans protested at the FA headquarters.
There were only two major sports competitions in 2012.
One was the Bolan-Ukrainian European Cup, and the other was the London Olympics.
The European Cup is about to start, and the London Olympics will have to wait until late July.
At that time, Atletico Madrid's pre-training camp will also begin. []
Chang Jin still has a deep impression of the 2012 European Cup. The most classic scene is Iniesta 1VS5 Italian defenders.
And Balotelli scored in the semi-finalsThe shirt-off celebration after the second goal against Germany.
Of course, the most talked-about thing is the reflection on life when he intercepted Ramos's pass in the final.
If the ball had been intercepted and entered the penalty area decisively, according to Italy's defensive strength, it is estimated that there would be no chance of winning the Spanish Championship three times in a row.
After signing the sponsorship contract with Puma, Chang Jin returned to Madrid as planned to solve the housing problem first.
Then find a time to fly back to Guangzhou and enjoy family happiness.
Before rebirth, he was struggling outside.
I didn't make money and didn't have time to stay with my parents.
After rebirth, he made money and wanted to live with his parents.
If his brother is willing, they can go to Spain together.
It's no problem to support the family.
……
After many on-site inspections and careful consideration, Chang Jin finally decided to buy a luxury house in the wealthy area of La Finca in Pozuelo de Alarcón, west of Madrid.
La Finca not only provides top-notch residences, but also has rich supporting facilities.
The entrances of the three areas are designed with fortress-style guardhouses and checkpoints, and private security is on duty 24 hours a day.
Infrared cameras are also installed on the outer wall, and no one can enter without the invitation of the residents inside.
Thereby ensuring the privacy and security of the wealthy area of La Finca.
According to the real estate agent.
In addition to many Real Madrid stars Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Casillas, Di Maria, Ramos...
There are also Spanish actresses Lydia Boch and Paz Vega, former bullfighter Fran Rivera, and singer Alejandro Sanz.
Of course, what attracted Chang Jin the most was that the house matched his aesthetic taste.
It was simple and elegant.
It covers an area of more than 3,000 square meters, with two floors and a construction area of 1,200 square meters.
Eight bedrooms, all equipped with bathrooms.
The spacious living room is conservatively estimated to be more than 100 square meters, and the kitchen is also very large.
There is also a home gym, a large cinema screening room, a sauna, an outdoor swimming pool and an indoor heated swimming pool designed specifically for top athletes.
In addition, there is a mini golf course and a mini football field in the back garden.
A covered garage that can accommodate six luxury cars is also indispensable.
In addition to the slightly higher housing prices compared to other wealthy areas, the biggest disadvantage is that it is a bit far from the Espino training base.
Google Maps shows that the distance is 24 miles.
It is closer to the Calderon Stadium, about 16 kilometers away.
It is convenient for Real Madrid players living here, as it is only five kilometers away from the Valdebebas training base.
However, this is no longer a problem for Chang Jin, who will be 18 next season (Li Le).
After buying the mansion, the next step is... to get a driver's license and buy a car.
Now that I have a car, is more than 20 kilometers considered far?
The driving time can be controlled in about 20 minutes.
"Thomas, I'll settle on this one."
Chang Jin took off his sunglasses and said to the young real estate agent who had shown him no less than ten luxury houses.
"Chang, how much do you plan to pay?"
Thomas asked, "The landlord's listing price is 7 million euros."
Chang Jin smiled and said, "Please negotiate for me. Buy it immediately for no more than 6.5 million euros."
The reason for giving this offer is naturally not just a casual statement.
It is based on the average transaction price of La Finca in the past six months.
After all, having money is having money, but it is better to pay less.
"I'm the best at this. Wait for my good news!"
"By the way, the specific transaction will take more than a month. You know, I'm not yet 18 years old, but don't worry, I can pay the deposit first."
"OK~"
...
The real estate agent was very efficient. In just one day, he got a price lower than Chang Jin's request.
6.3 million euros.
But he asked for a one-time payment.
Chang Jin didn't mean to take out a loan.
It was just what he wanted, and he saved 200,000 euros.
According to the current exchange rate, it is almost 1.6 million dragon coins.
You can buy a house of more than 100 square meters in the center of Yangcheng.
The day before the opening of the European Cup, Chang Jin took a taxi to the real estate company.
After confirming the information of the original landlord of the luxury house, he signed a formal house purchase and sale contract.
Pay a 30% deposit, which is 1.89 million euros.
Chang Jin is quite satisfied with the simple style of the mansion and does not need to redecorate.
So he can move in after the original landlord takes away his personal belongings.
But before that, he has to hire a professional housekeeping company to do a comprehensive cleaning.
Chang Jin does not need to worry about the cost, as the real estate company will take full responsibility.
After finishing everything, Chang Jin packed his bags, took the gifts he bought in Munich, and boarded the flight back to Guangzhou. .
