As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 107 Endorsements and Portraits

It turned out that a local private clothing brand in the UK planned to invite Jose to cooperate with them in publicity.

As for the specific details, Jose needs to inform them in person after he arrives in the UK.

With an opportunity to make money, Jose has no reason to refuse.

After packing his luggage, Jose reluctantly bid farewell to his parents.

Before leaving, Jose thought, if possible, he must let his parents quit their jobs, and then enjoy the good life in life.

Of course, it’s not enough now. Although Jose’s income is much higher than that of most working-class people in the country, compared with other star players, it is still far behind.

The average weekly salary of Premier League professional players has reached more than 4, and this value will increase significantly in the days to come.

And Jose's current weekly salary is only [-] pounds, not compared with Manchester City players, even in the Villa team, quite a few substitute players have a higher weekly salary than Jose.

But Jose is not dissatisfied. He is only 18 years old and is only a youth player.

There are not many youth training players in his age group who are taller than him.

...

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jose boarded a flight to London.

Although Jose was no longer afraid of heights, the journey was far from pleasant. During the nearly seventeen-hour flight, Jose slept a few times before finally getting through it.

This time Jose still didn't see his senior.

It was already 11pm when the plane arrived at London International Airport.

Obviously, it has been flying for 16 hours, but on the clock, only more than 9 hours have passed.

This is the time difference between the two places.

...

Stepping out of London International Airport, Jose immediately took out his mobile phone and called Jorge Mendes: "Mr. Mendes, I have arrived in London."

"Where are you now? I'll send a car to pick you up!" On the other side of the phone, Mendes seemed very happy, and something good was probably about to happen.

"I'm at the airport exit, send a car!" Hanging up the phone, Jose stretched himself, waiting for the arrival of the reception staff arranged by Mendez.

Without waiting for a long time, the fat man who picked up Jose last time arrived at the airport in a commercial vehicle.

I got on the business car and followed the fat man to a hotel in London.

In the hotel, Jose did not see Mendez, and he was received by a blonde named Kelly.

In fact, as long as you think about it a little bit, you can understand why you can't see Mendes himself.

That is, Jose's income is not high this time, and it is not worth his time to do it himself.

After Kelly's explanation, Jose finally knew clearly that after he won the Golden Glove Award, many brand manufacturers came to him, wanting to cooperate with Jose.

It's just that most of them were directly rejected by Mendes because the asking price was too low.

Calling Jose back now is a private luxury clothing brand called AMQ.

It is said that the founder of AMQ is the famous design genius Alexander McQueen, and the brand name is exactly his name.

The amount of cooperation provided by AMQ has reached one million pounds per year, which is divided into advertising endorsements and portrait usage rights.

The amount of the advertising endorsement part is 10 pounds, and Jose can put it all in his pocket. All he needs to do is shoot a series of advertising videos for the brand.

As for the 90 yuan of the right to use the portrait, Jose cannot fully own it. He needs to distribute it with the club and the agent.

According to the previously signed contract, Jose and Mendes can jointly own 50.00%, while the other 50.00% is allocated to Chelsea and Villa clubs.

As for how the two clubs are divided, that is not what Jose should care about.

What he needs to care about is the respective distribution ratio between himself and Mendes.

Mendes is very kind, he only took 15.00% of the share, so Jose got 30.00% of the share.

After calculation, the pre-tax amount that Jose received was 31 pounds. After deducting the 40.00% personal income tax, the remaining money was only 18.6 pounds.

The damn capitalist system.

It hurts a bit, but it's better than nothing.

In fact, with Jose's current popularity, it is already very good to get an advertising sponsorship of one million pounds.

Like Melo's advertising sponsorship, which can cost tens of millions, Jose still needs to improve his own strength and popularity.

Of course, if you want to increase your income, you need to receive more advertising sponsorships.

...

As for the details of the contract, Jose checked carefully and after confirming that there were no problems, he signed the cooperation contract, which lasted for three years and did not include an exclusive agreement.

In other words, Jose can also cooperate with other clothing brands.

However, this possibility is very small, because other brands may not be willing.

After the contract was signed, Kelly asked Jose to stay in the hotel to have a good rest. When it was time to shoot commercials, she would arrange relevant personnel to assist Jose.

Jose would naturally not refuse Kelly's suggestion, as he just needed to beat the jet lag.

……

Three days later, Jose saw the fat man again.

From his mouth, he learned that he was actually a full-time driver of Mendes' company in the UK, named Martin Frankland, so Jose called him Uncle Martin.

Naturally, Frankland came to pick up Jose and go to the shooting location, which was in a famous advertising company outside Greater London.

Quite a few luxury brands will choose to shoot in this advertising company.

This advertising company covers a large area, and from the well-arranged studios inside, it can be seen that their shooting tasks should be very busy.

After Uncle Martin sent Jose to the shooting location, he confessed and drove away, leaving Jose alone.

Unlike domestic stars in China, most British stars act alone, occasionally followed by a manager.

As for bodyguards, only the rich will be equipped. This is because the cost of local bodyguards in the UK is too expensive.

Jose's advertising sponsorship income is not enough to support a bodyguard.

You must know that in the UK, not most people can get millions of advertising sponsorship contracts.

Jose couldn't help sighing that the status of China's stars was too high.

...

Uncle Martin has already left. Fortunately, the AMQ brand has arranged for personnel to receive him, so Jose still easily entered the filming base.

Following the staff, Jose came to the dressing room reserved by the brand.

As for makeup, Jose never thought he needed it.

With the hard work of the beautiful makeup artist, Jose saw a handsome face in the mirror that he even envied.

"Handsome." The beautiful makeup artist exclaimed.

"Hehe...Thank you, thanks to your craftsmanship." Jose touched his cheek and smiled.

Jose's appearance is somewhat similar to Kaka's. He has a handsome face, especially the eyes, which are deep and energetic, and the bridge of the nose is straight and straight, giving people a very warm feeling overall.

In addition, as a Chinese, he has short black and thick short hair, and his complexion is fair, clean and bright, like a piece of pure jade in the rough.

Jose's smile was very alluring, and many girls were secretly attracted by seeing him on the court.

At this moment, the door of the dressing room was opened again.

From the reflection in the makeup mirror, Jose saw a familiar pretty face.
