Iron Man on the pitch

Then the celebration float came to Imperial Square. Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo started a speech at the crowded fans in the square with a microphone.

"Thank you very much, victory belongs to you!" Ronaldo kept waving his arms and pointed at a fan below the stage. Although everyone knows that Ronaldo is just giving advice unconsciously, whenever his finger points to a certain point, the fans there will bursts of cheers.

"This victory belongs to everyone in Portugal, including every immigrant." Ronaldo said, patting Li Ling and Pepe on the shoulders beside him.

There was another cheer below.

"We have made the history of Portugal and won such an important game for the country for the first time, and you have supported us from beginning to end. Your support is the driving force for us to move forward. Without your support, we would not have achieved such honors as fighting alone .”

"So, this glory also belongs to you, thank you everyone!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"

The celebration process continued until 2 a.m., when everything finally ended, the players had their own free time and started their holidays at the same time.

Some players return to their homes to reunite with their relatives; some players come to nightclubs and turn into prodigal sons; some players go to bed directly because they feel tired.

Li Ling chose to act alone, first went to the restaurant he often went to eat, after all, he had never eaten seriously on this day. Then I went back to the apartment I rented and started packing my luggage, because I would definitely not continue to live here again.

This holiday, I have a lot to do.

The next day, Li Ling turned on his phone and communicated with Tian Tian about their progress in handling the procedures. Then, while turning on the computer and checking the email, he dialed the number of his agent Jorge Mendes.

"Li Ling, congratulations!" Even though he had sent a text message, Jorge Mendes still congratulated him in person.

"Haha, thank you."

"I have to admire your confidence and strength. You really did it." In Jorge Mendes's words, both as a Portuguese and being happy about Portugal's Hercules Cup, and for his subordinates, he also enjoyed his own happiness as a Portuguese. The player is excited about success.

Li Ling's commercial value now has almost doubled compared to before the World Cup. The 20-year-old World Cup champion core, the European Golden Boot, is even expected to compete for this year's Golden Globe Awards. Compared with these, the almost certain European Golden Boy Award is not a great honor.

However, Li Ling's transfer value has no room for any increase. Ronaldo just hit a transfer price of 94 million a year ago. No matter how popular Li Ling is, he will not be able to surpass Ronaldo in terms of value, because they won the World Cup championship together, and Ronaldo's performance is also excellent.

Besides, there are not many clubs left that can afford this transfer fee. Both Jorge Mendes, Li Ling, and Li Ling's potential next homes know this.

"How is my endorsement contract?" Li Ling took the initiative to ask. In order to complete this summer's plan, Li Ling now needs money.

"Haha." When talking about various endorsements, Jorge Mendes couldn't help but smile. During the entire World Cup, he was not idle at all.

In addition to Li Ling, he also has Cristiano Ronaldo, Pepe, Nani and Cointran. As the Portuguese team won the World Cup championship, everyone's value and endorsement have soared. Among them, Jorge Mendes personally inquired about the various contracts between Ronaldo and Li Ling.

"During the World Cup, major companies have been negotiating intentions with me. Let me choose a few of the most important ones. The two most heavyweight sports brands, Nike and Adidas, respectively, have provided you with a 100 million USD in 10 years. and an 8-year, $90 million contract.”

"Wow! It sounds good." Li Ling sighed, "Where is your opinion?"

"I naturally hope you can sign Nike because Ronaldo is there too. I can go to another fewer trips when discussing the contract." Jorge Mendes laughed.

"Okay, just Nike." Li Ling agreed to Jorge Mendes' proposal, "But I want to add some additional risk clauses, about inappropriate remarks involving zz and racial discrimination. By the way, these clauses There will be more in all my endorsement contracts and player contracts.”

"Uh..." Jorge Mendes hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed. After all, the lawyer is responsible for the formulation of specific terms, and it is not trouble for him. He just thinks that Li Ling is thinking too much. However, it is understandable, because these terms are legitimate rights and interests, although they are almost impossible to use.After all, it is 2010 now, and the entire earth is in a prosperous state. In Japanese cartoons, they still talk about the whole world uniting against aliens, and even using Middle Eastern boys as the protagonists. Who can imagine what will happen later? ?

"The biggest sportswear endorsement has been solved, and the remaining endorsements are easy to talk about." Jorge Mendes' tone relaxed, "There are still 10 casual clothing brands and 14 daily necessities companies waiting for it. Your reply.”

Speaking of this, Jorge Mendes couldn't help laughing: "There are also endorsements from 23 food companies. They found out that you prefer food, so they came here one after another. Unfortunately, you don't drink, and there are several wines. The winery and Heineken are all thinking about asking you to endorse.”

"Am I so popular?" Li Ling was a little surprised when he heard that there were almost 50 endorsements.

"Don't underestimate yourself. Your appearance is one of the best in the entertainment industry, let alone it be considered exotic for Europe and the United States. Moreover, the bodybuilding figure you have developed because of playing football is something that those stars who specially train their bodies cannot compare with. . In addition to Europe, the brand is very optimistic about your influence in East Asia.”

"Since these endorsements have been initially screened, why sign a contract and I can shoot an endorsement advertisement? I hope it can be completed as soon as possible because I plan to take a two-week break, relax and then welcome the new season."

"This is easy to say. I'll communicate with them and strive to complete these shooting plans within the next week."

"Okay, thank you."

"It should be..." Jorge Mendes smiled, "After these endorsements are processed, my agency can get a lot of brokerage fees, and those under his command just want to finish these endorsements immediately."

"By the way, Li Ling, since we talk about your transfer next season, I think we should have a closer talk, it's best to have an interview."

"Okay, how about noon?"

"No problem, Cristiano is busy going to see his son, I can concentrate on your business now."
