Chapter 709 Halfway Over (Second update, please subscribe!)

"This is a brand-new contract we are offering, which contains many new elements and a new cooperation model. We hope to form a closer relationship with you and your team."

In Su Ke's villa, Nike's general manager came in person to negotiate an endorsement contract with Su Ke.

Previously, Su Ke cooperated with Adidas.

And it also allowed Adidas to include Suker and Messi as endorsements. It can be said that La Liga grabbed it.

This is a huge obstacle to Nike's development.

What's more, Nike also wants to sign Su Ke, currently the most influential player in football, and they will not hesitate to poach him.

The legal advisor on the side was looking at the contract in detail, including the various terms and models.

Neither Su Ke nor Zolanqi knew much about these details, so they invited professionals.

Taking advantage of this time, Nike general manager Lyon looked at Suker and smiled and said; "I watched your Spanish El Clasico game, and your performance was simply great. Compared to Messi, you are more invested." value."

Suk raised his eyebrows slightly, this was a compliment to himself.

"There are also some hidden terms." Lyon whispered: "If you are willing to sign a contract with us, then Nike will mobilize all its forces to help you when you need it. For example, personal awards."

"Our group also cooperates with many European media and has good relationships. At the same time, it has sufficient influence in UEFA and FIFA."

"During the World Cup, we also plan to form a star family belonging to Nike. Of course, with your current influence, you are definitely the one we value most."

Lyon gushed about Nike's sincerity.

It has to be said that in order to pry itself over, Nike has spent a lot of thought and done enough homework.

But Su Ke remained silent.

On the contrary, Zuo Lanqi said: "These are secondary. Of course, if we can provide help, we will be grateful, but before we want to cooperate, we need to see true sincerity."

Leon's eyes lit up and he smiled; "Of course!"

After that, he smiled and said: "We don't know how much Adidas will offer you for renewal, but we will definitely give you more. We plan to sign a ten-year cooperation contract with you and provide you with a total price of 300 million euros." The company’s endorsement fee will be 30 million euros per year, paid in ten years!”

Su Ke thought thoughtfully, the endorsement of this contract is still very sincere.

So far, Beckham, who is called the king of endorsements, has the highest annual commercial income of 36 million euros.

And Su Ke’s sports brand alone has reached 30 million euros.

However, Su Ke still needed to wait for the lawyer to read the contract, so he did not speak.

Seeing Suk's appearance, Leon felt a little anxious.

Some time ago, Nike conducted an analysis report on football players.

In the report, Su Ke, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Messi were all shortlisted and became the stars with the most potential.

In the report, based on the national team situation, club size, business potential, future value and many other factors, Su Ke is the player most worthy of investment.

Lyon believes that not only them, but other sports brands have also taken action.

Especially for Adidas, which already has a contract with Su Ke, renewing the contract may be easier.

And from some news, Adidas seems to retain Su Ke's priority to sign.

In other words, at the same price, they have no advantage.

If you want to pry Su Ke over, you have to spend more money and provide a better contract.

To put it bluntly, it just means throwing money!

The contract is signed for ten years, with a total price of 300 million euros!

This is already an unprecedented high-end endorsement contract in football, and it can even be called the first endorsement contract in history.

But Suk wasn't swayed yet.

Lyon had to wonder what endorsement conditions Adidas had provided Su Ke.

But even so, they still have a trump card!

Su Ke looked at the lawyer. Where did Zolanqi find the guy? He looked at the contract and saw it was so slow.

But at this moment, Leon suddenly spoke up.

"Mr. Suk!"

Suk turned his head and looked over, and he found that Leon's expression was extremely solemn.

He knocked on the contract rubbing on the table and said seriously;

"We have expressed that Nike is very sincere. On this basis." Lyon raised three fingers; "After tax!"

boom! ! ! ! ——

Su Ke was confused!

Three hundred million before tax and three hundred million after tax are not the same concepts.

There is too much surplus money here.

"Are you sure?" Su Kedu felt a little incredible.

Leon nodded; "Yes! We are sure that this is what the group means. We have always been very optimistic about your future and are willing to spend a lot of money for this. Of course, for the sake of our group's consideration, we announced that it is also 300 million before tax, but we will Sign the tax-free contract!”

Snapped!

The lawyer finally put down the contract, took a breath, and said, "I've finished reading it. There's nothing wrong with the contract!"

Suk turned his head and said quietly: "We are done talking!"

It was impossible for Su Ke to refuse the sky-high price contract of 300 million after tax.

This shows that 30 million euros of funds will go into their own pockets every year, and Nike will be responsible for taxes.

Nike showed such sincerity that this was a contract clause that Adidas would not give him.

In fact, Adidas has been arguing with Su Ke and wants to slightly reduce the amount of endorsements, which has made Su Ke a little tired.

If you want to make money on your own but don't want to pay enough funds, there is no such thing in the world.

Leon looked very happy when he left.

Although the lowest price was offered, Su Ke was still acquired and the terms of intent were signed.

As long as Su Ke's endorsement contract expires this year, Su Ke can immediately sign a new contract with Nike.

At the same time, Su Ke's income will also see a huge increase.

Suk and Zolanqi sent Leon away together.

Watching the vehicle leave, Zoranci suddenly turned his head and said, "You fought for it, so you should settle the bill in Spain. If you pay such a large amount of taxes in Spain, they will treat you better."

Suker requested settlement in Spain.

It also suggests that the succotash's income came from taxes entering Spain.

This is also a signal Suker intends to send to Spain.

I have brought you so much tax money, be nice to me!

"Peo did a good job. Thanks to him reading the contract in detail, he was able to test out Lyon's base price, but I really didn't expect it to be 300 million after tax!"

Zolanci sighed with emotion; "You are definitely the player with the highest income from a single commercial endorsement."

"These are not the key points." Su Ke said; "Help me set up a contract department to be responsible for my contracts. I am also setting up a tax investigation department to clearly list my various taxes and payment status, and conduct an inspection on me once a year. Report."

"Do these two departments have any special meaning?" Zolanqi was confused.

Suk turned his head; "It will be useful in the future!"

Suker remembers that Ronaldo left Real Madrid because he was under investigation for tax issues.

He complained that Real Madrid at the time did not help him, which eventually led to the separation.

Cristiano Ronaldo actively evades taxes?

Su Ke didn't think so. In many ways, he was tricked.

Ronaldo's size has too many complicated contracts and tax payments. As a player himself, it is impossible for him to understand these things, so he leaves them to specialized people.

But the responsibility belongs to the person in charge, and it is not like Su Ke who directly formed two departments to supervise each other.

Even in the future, when Su Ke faces the same dilemma as Cristiano Ronaldo, Su Ke's annual tax report will be with him, and it will be clear after checking it. This is also evidence.

He was planning ahead and didn't want to get involved in these bad and troublesome things.

At that time, if someone dares to use taxes to disgust him, Su Ke will slap him in the face with a stack of tax reports, accuse him of frame-up + extortion, and send him to the sewing machine!

The new contract was finalized, and Su Ke had another substantial salary income. In a good mood, Su Ke also invited the team members to his villa for a dinner.

Su Ke spoke, and the locker room naturally followed suit.

No one wants to offend Suker, the absolute core of Real Madrid. Even the Spanish local gang, Casillas and others know that Real Madrid relies on Suker, and the relationship is extremely harmonious for this reason.

Su Ke set up two barbecue grills directly on the edge of the sports field.

Suk and Ramos started to barbecue one by one.

Others also gathered together in small groups, chatting and playing games, or drinking some drinks while waiting for the big meal.

"Let's see what this is, oh~~ Suk Roast Beef, the whole beef shank is sizzling on the grill, I can't wait, let's see Ramos, my God !What is this?"

Marcelo is holding the camera and filming.

Recently, he opened his own personal YouTube account to share some of his daily life.

Marcelo looked at the shriveled beef on Ramos's grill, and then turned to look at Suk's side, which was rich and delicious with oil stains exposed.

Compare the two and make a judgment.

"I want to eat Su Ke!" Marcelo decided immediately.

Ramos; "Mine is healthier!"

Suk turned the beef over, turned around and said angrily: "I told you, there is no such thing as 'healthy' food!"

Marcelo nodded repeatedly.

"Why not?" Ramos pointed to his shriveled beef shank: "Look! This is health!"

"Eat it yourself!"

Suk rolled his eyes angrily.

Not long after, the beef leg was roasted. After cutting it with knives, Suk and Ramos began to sprinkle the toppings on it.

Ramos's movements are very rough and wild, spreading a large area in one stroke, very evenly, and the technique is very good, which is very suitable for pushing a cart as a hawker.

Suk's side is much more 'advanced'.

Su Ke raised his eyebrows at Marcelo.

Marcelo immediately raised his camera to take a photo.

Suk held a handful of salt, moved his arms like a crane's neck, and began to rub his fingers slowly.

The fine snow-white salt fell down, along the arms, touching the elbows, and fully sprinkled on the steak.

Su Ke imitated the action of 'Brother Spreading Salt', which caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Su Ke also laughed a few times.

"Okay, dinner is ready!"

There was enough steak, so everyone feasted on it.

After a series of national team matches, league games and the Champions League, the body also needs to replenish nutrients, so this meal is very sweet.

Many people rushed to eat Suk's food, but almost no one paid attention to Ramos's.

Su Ke was very proud to take a bite, but the meat had been roasted for too long and the texture of the meat had become unbearable, making it difficult to bite.

On the other hand, Ramos bit hard, as if his whole mouth was exerting force, his Adam's apple surged up and down as he swallowed, and his eating look was extremely rough.

After repeating this process, I actually ate most of the beef shank alone.

After eating, Su Ke prepared some tea, drinks and coffee.

Suk himself drank iced coffee to relieve his tiredness, and the others also chose what they liked and sat around chatting together again.

"This should be our first group gathering, right?"

Casillas said with a smile.

Suk nodded: "I see that none of you have any intention of gathering together. We just made some money, so I invite you to celebrate."

"Endorsement? How much?" Marcelo asked, still lowering his head and eating the remaining steak.

Su Ke looked helpless. Are all the Brazilian players foodies?

Kaka is like this,

The same goes for Pato.

Marcelo isn't much better.

"You don't want to know."

Su Ke shook his head and refused to answer.

Speaking of which, this is a blow to many players.

Even for wealthy families, their income is divided into three, six or nine grades.

The average substitute players are a little better or the same as the normal players in the five major leagues. When their fame reaches a certain level, their income will increase, mainly from commercial endorsements.

In terms of position, there are also differences between defenders, midfielders and forwards.

Undoubtedly, as the most outstanding position, forwards also earn the most.

"There is still one Champions League, two rounds of league games, and it's over halfway through." Guti said; "This is our best situation in recent seasons, right?"

In the past few seasons, Real Madrid's performance has become increasingly worse.

Especially with Calderon's random command, everything was in chaos.

Today, Florentino is slowly sorting out these things. The club needs to be cleaned and the team needs to be rebuilt.

This is something that takes time.

"What are you planning to do during the winter break?"

"I'm going on vacation!"

"I'm going to meet my girlfriend."

"I want to go home."

Everyone expressed their winter break plans and called friends to go on vacation together.

Seeing everyone looking forward to his winter break, Su Ke felt a little sad again.

While everyone else was playing, he was the one working.

But with the monetary income, it can be considered as comfort.

"What about you?" Casillas took a sip of hot tea and looked at Ramos and asked.

Ramos; "I plan to stay and train."

Hearing this, everyone immediately became quiet.

After all, he planned to stay for training and go out to play by himself, which was a bit embarrassing.

What's more, most of the players are substitutes.

Ramos is still the main player.

Ramos; "I have just adjusted to the central defender position. I need to adapt more to this position and make some changes and work hard, so I plan to stay at the training base."

"You don't have to worry about me. If you should go on vacation, take a vacation."

Everyone grinned, it was easy to say!

Suk looked at this scene with a smile. He was not the only one suffering.

"The next game is the last Champions League game. Everyone performs well and wins. We qualify first in the group and have a happy Christmas."

At the end, Casillas raised his cup and everyone drank together to boost morale.

The last Champions League match was played at the Santiago Bernabeu.

They will face Zurich at home.

Zurich has not won a single game so far and has only one small draw.

They were eliminated early.

After being eliminated, Zurich relaxed their mentality and the head coach also let them fully enjoy the game.

But...enjoy the hell!

Cheers roared at the Santiago Bernabeu.

71 minutes of game time, Real Madrid 4:1 Zurich.

At the beginning of the first half, Suker scored two goals and stunned Zurich, who was planning to perform well.

After that, Higuain and Benzema worked hard one after another. Benzema assisted Higuain and directly pushed the score to 3:0.

In the 55th minute, after Suker came off the field, Zurich got a goal back with a corner kick.

But immediately afterwards, Xavi Alonso hit the goal with a long shot that hit the dead center.

The score was stretched again.

The Zurich players were very frustrated.

I originally planned to rely on this game to perform well and gain the attention of some teams in the five major leagues, but Real Madrid's counterattack was so sharp that they lost their mentality.

However, Real Madrid did not continue to exert pressure.

After the fourth goal appeared, Real Madrid also retreated to defend simultaneously.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Zurich 4:1 in this game.

The entire Champions League group stage is over.

Real Madrid won all six rounds of the group stage and advanced to the knockout rounds.

However, Real Madrid fans are still a little nervous. After all, the 'Sixteenth Champions League' will be the real test after the winter break.

In the league, Real Madrid faced Valencia and Sevilla in the 14th and 15th rounds respectively.

In the game against Valencia, Real Madrid still won the victory relatively safely.

But when playing against Sevilla, they encountered some problems.

Real Madrid's defense began to make mistakes again.

Continuous mistakes caused them to concede two goals. Suker scored a goal during the period. For this reason, the score came to Sevilla 2:1 Real Madrid.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Real Madrid players began to cheer up slowly.

The defense is no longer sick, and the defense has become more stable.

Suker took advantage of a corner kick in the 78th minute and scored again with a header, completely leveling the score.

But after this goal, Sevilla completely entered defensive mode.

They only needed a draw, and faced with the defensive mode of all members and the limited time left, even Su Ke was helpless.

In the end, Real Madrid got the second draw.

At this point, the half-season of La Liga is over.

There are 16 rounds in total.

Real Madrid currently remains in first place with a 14-2-0 record.

Barcelona is 14-1-1, one point behind Real Madrid and currently in second place.
