Chapter 69

Since signing the agent contract with Lin Yi, Ding Weijie has reduced his work on the NOW TV channel in Hong Kong. Three days ago, he formally submitted his resignation application and completed all the resignation procedures today. He thought it would be easy for two days, but he would have to fly to the mainland overnight again because of a phone call from Lin Yi.

Sports brands in the world can be divided into many grades. There is no doubt that the first grade belongs to Nike and Adidas. They are involved in almost every sports industry, and most of the big-name athletes are their spokespersons. It has always been a situation of two heroes competing for hegemony.Of course, they also have some conceptual differences in the choice of spokespersons.Adidas prefers to sign famous athletes who are modest and gentlemen, such as Beckham, Zidane, Messi and so on.Nike prefers to sign athletes with distinctive personalities and strong characteristics, such as the Ronaldo series (it has really become a series), such as Wayne Rooney, such as Tiger Woods.

Ding Weijie planned to choose Lin Yi as a sneaker sponsor before, and both companies were interested in signing Lin Yi, but Adidas asked for a five-year contract, and the price was not high.The price given by Nike is slightly higher than that of Adidas, but the period is also 5 years.The time limit is too long, and there is a lot of room for improvement for Lin Yi, and he is backed by Manchester United and the Chinese national team.But the jersey sponsor of the Chinese national team is Adidas, and Manchester United's jersey sponsor is Nike.But things like this are quite common in football. For example, Ronaldo wears Real Madrid's Adidas jersey as the spokesperson of Nike, and Messi, as the spokesperson of Adidas, wears Barcelona's Nike jersey. Fortunately, their national team jerseys are not "wrong".

Originally, Ding Weijie wanted to wait until Lin Yi proved himself on the big stage of the Premier League, and then he could better negotiate with Nike or Adidas.But Lin Yi told him on the phone that Puma intends to ask him to be the global spokesperson, and he is doing the lobbying through Bolt.Note that there is a huge difference in being a global spokesperson, not a spokesperson for China or Asia. This shows that Puma is very optimistic about Lin Yi, and they will also provide all-round packaging and services for Lin Yi, and strive to use Lin Yi's influence to open up the global market. This is trust.Bolt is a superstar in track and field. He belongs to a class by himself. He is a well-deserved No.1 in history. He is also the number one track and field brand in the history of Puma. Please move him to give Lin Yi a gift, and it is also a private order. This is sincerity.Faced with this situation, not to mention Lin Yi, even Ding Weijie finds it unbelievable. Lin Yi does have the potential to become a superstar, but Lin Yi has not proven himself yet, and Chinese football has not produced too many successful players. It is actually a bit risky for Puma to do so.

How important are sneakers to football players?It is like the weapon held by a soldier who is about to go to the battlefield. At the critical moment, it can determine whether you are famous in history or unknown.So it is not without reason that Ding Weijie came to Hefei at the first time.For the first time, he brought the entire "Team Yi" with him to let Puma know Lin Yi's sincerity.

On the second day, Lin Yi participated in the field adaptation training with the team, and met with Ding Weijie and the "Yizhi team" in the hotel room during the lunch break.

"What's your attitude?" Ding Weijie cut to the chase, he needed to know Lin Yi's true thoughts.

"I like this pair of shoes, and I have confidence in the shoes they will provide in the future. The most important thing is their sincerity. To be honest, I was moved." Lin Yi's attitude is very clear, that is, "If the treatment they give matches my current price, I want to sign this contract. Of course, you need professional analysis and judgment." .

"Yizai, we did an analysis on the way here and discussed the feasibility of the matter. Puma is indeed very sincere. Although I don't know what price they will offer, I guess it will not be very low, at least it will be higher than the price offered by Nike. Although Puma is not the best choice now, it can be said to be the most suitable choice for you now. Our opinion is that you can contact the other party, see their offer, and if it is suitable, you can sign. Of course, our conditions must be met, that is, you must be their key promotion in football for the next few years. A star should at least have less resources than Balotelli. As for the number of years, we hope to limit it to 3 years, and then we can negotiate to continue cooperation or other options according to the wishes of both parties. Do you think this is okay?" Ding Weijie gave his own suggestion.

"Yes, your opinions are very pertinent, and to be honest, I trust your professionalism, and I will work hard on you, Brother Jie." The big event is settled, and Lin Yi is also relieved. He has a premonition that the contract with Puma will be successful this time, because he had a dream last night, and dreamed that there was a racing storm with Bolt at Old Trafford...

Now that Ji Dong has made his decision, let the team do the rest. Anyway, Puma's people will be in Hefei soon.Ji Dong is now thinking about the game tonight. Since he promised Bolt to pay tribute to him, he must find a way to score a goal.It's raining in Hefei today, and it looks like tonight's match is going to turn into a rain match.

Just 2 hours before the game, Lin Yi received two new gifts, or trial products, from the staff of Puma Company. Two pairs of football shoes without any logo. These are a pair of trial shoes specially prepared by Puma Company for Lin Yi. There are 3 pairs of these shoes with laces.This was prepared for Lin Yi's game tonight, and it was very thoughtful that it didn't put the Puma logo on it, so that Lin Yi would not feel any pressure. This sincerity alone made Lin Yi, Ding Weijie and others feel better.

"CCTV, CCTV, hello viewers and friends. I am Liu Jianhong. Today I bring you the international football friendly match between the Chinese team and Jamaica at home. Today I will explain to you our familiar Zhan Junzhan guide." Today CCTV's live broadcast arrangement is Liu Jianhong and Zhan Jun. Viewers who have watched CCTV live broadcast for a long time must be familiar with their commentary, especially Liu Jianhong's sentence "There is not much time left for the Chinese team!"

"Hello, audience friends, I'm Zhan Jun."

"The game is about to start. Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides today. The Jamaican team is ranked 442 today, with goalkeeper No. 13 Miller, backline No. 4 Thomas, No. 6 Moody, No. 8 Bernan, and No. 10 Williams; in the midfield, No. 16 Daly, No. 17 Austin, No. 19 Reid, and No. 20 Bill; the forwards are No. 21 Sheldon and No. 22 Cummings."

"The audience friends may have noticed that the jersey numbers of the Jamaica players who came to China this time are relatively large. That's because many international football players who played in Europe did not come to China because the league is about to start. Many of them came as substitutes. There are also 5 players who were selected for the Jamaica national team for the first time."

"Yes, this is also a pity. Jamaica is considered a relatively strong team in the Caribbean region, and it has also been very strong in the international arena in the past two years. It can be said that this is a very small number of warm-up opponents, but it is a pity that the personnel are not complete." Liu Jianhong is also deeply regretful. "Let's take a look at the lineup of the Chinese team. Today, the high-level guide ranked his usual 4231, goalkeeper No. 22 Yang Zhi; the four defenders were the left back No. 4 Rong Hao, and the center back was played by No. 2 Zhao Peng and No. 4 Du Wei. No. 5 Liu Jianye, right back; No. 13 Zhao Xuri and No. 7 Yang Hao partnered with double midfielders; the three midfielders are No. 19 Yu Hai, No. 21 Lin Yi and No. 26 Hao Junming; No. 8 Yang Xu single forward. The Chinese team is also holding the mentality of training the team in this game, and many of the main players are sitting on the bench.

"The referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the game started! It was the Jamaica team that kicked off in the first half."

The rain did not stop in Hefei tonight. Looking at the sneakers under his feet, Lin Yi finally understood the reason why ancient wars paid attention to "soldiers and horses before moving food and grass". Logistical support is really important.

Watching the Jamaican tee off, Ji Dong suddenly had an urge to run, the urge to run in front of the fastest man in the world.

How can there be no lightning in the summer rain, just right, there is one in the stands, but one is not enough!
