Legendary Broker

"Mr. Parker, this World Cup is pretty exciting."

Rist smiled and said to Mark Parker.Mark. Parker is a high-level Nike, but not the general high-level.He joined Nike in 1979 and is mainly responsible for product research, design and development, as well as marketing and brand management.Mark Parker was appointed vice president of the development department in 1987, vice president of the company in 1989, general manager in 1993, vice president of global footwear in 1998, and president of the Nike brand in 2001.

Since January of this year, he has served as the president, chief executive officer and director of the board of directors of Nike, and has become a veritable general manager of Nike.

"It's wonderful."

Mark Parker nodded.Mark Parker became the CEO of Nike, but now Nike's situation in the football market is not very good.Adidas is getting stronger and stronger, and it has begun to squeeze Nike's market strongly.More importantly, Puma, which has been playing curves to save the country, began to violently attack the positions of Nike and Adidas after nearly a decade of development.Puma is the fastest-growing world football sports brand in the past ten years, and has become a veritable third in the world sports brand.All this puts a lot of pressure on Mark Parker.

Adidas is the ground gun in European football, Nike is the Raptors, and Puma is a rising star.Nike and Adidas are considered to be rivals. Nike has Ronaldo, Carlos, Figo, Ronaldinho, Henry, Villa and other stars, and Adidas is also full of fierce players.There are superstar players such as Beckham, Raul, Zidane, Shevchenko, Kaka, and Messi.

And Puma is not far behind.There are players headed by Czech players such as Nedved, Jan Koller and Rosicky, as well as many stars from Eastern Europe and Northern Europe.Of course, there is no shortage of African players such as Drogba and Toure.Although not as famous as Nike and Adidas players.But they are also well-known characters in world football.

However, Nike has recently begun to decline. The biggest reason is that among the top superstars, Ronaldo, Carlos, and Figo are all getting older.Figo was given up by Real Madrid and came to Liverpool for free. Ronaldo is no longer the alien of the year. Carlos is a defender after all.Fortunately, Ronaldinho and Henry, the king of Highbury, are still under the banner of Nike.

But Adidas is different here.They have the No.1 Beckham in football, the prince of Madrid Raul, the French football king Zidane, and the handsome guy Kaka who claims to be able to catch up with Beckham.Zidane is about to retire, but his influence has not declined, and his ability to attract money in business is much stronger than that of Ronaldo, Figo, and Carlos.As for Beckham and Raul, it goes without saying.

Nike's endorsement star decline, so Nike is eager to find a top star.Ronaldinho and Henry couldn't resist the strength of Adidas.Just in the process.Nike discovered Ribery.Ribery is the hottest talent in this World Cup so far.He even moved to Manchester United at a high price.Manchester United itself is a club sponsored by Nike, so Ribery has entered Nike's eyes.

"Mr. Czerny, Ribery is the brightest star in this World Cup."

Mark Parker brought the topic to Ribery.Rist is getting stronger and stronger now, and those who come to choose to cooperate with Rist are no longer some little guys.Nike want to find Ribery cooperation.If only ordinary brokers.Then someone can come in charge of the French market.Or if the high-level executives in charge of the European market come here, it is already very face-saving.

But Ribéry is a player of Ricester, and these high-level players are not equal.Therefore, all of them came from the top of Nike headquarters.The one who came this time was directly the CEO of Nike who had just taken office for half a year.

"Yes, Frank is a young player I value most. Zidane is about to retire, Henry is 29 years old, and Ribery will be the core of France in two or three years."

"Mr. Cherny, how about it? Let's cooperate again."

The French national team is the territory of Adidas, but Nike still has a foot in it.Zidane, the representative of France's golden generation, is Adidas' top player, but Nike snatched Henry, the strongest player in the post-Zidane era.Now after Henry, new core players have emerged, and they are eyeing Ribery, Adidas and Nike.It's just that Nike is close to the water.Now that Ribery has become a Manchester United player, Nike will not let him go.

"Mr. Parker, among my young players, Frank is the one I value the most."

"I know."

Even if Rist was not the most important thing before, it must be the most important thing after the World Cup.Mark Parker understood what Rist meant. Rist was emphasizing the importance of Ribery and bargaining with himself.

"Mr. Czerny, we attach great importance to the French market. After Henry, there is Ribery. We at Nike will promote him as our main star."

Mark Parker, a Nike executive, would not haggle over an endorsement fee of 20 or 300 a year with Rist.Since he came in person, the contract offered is very generous.Opening the mouth is an endorsement fee of [-] million a year.Rist is also very satisfied with their conditions. Of course, the most satisfactory thing is that Nike is willing to promote Ribery at the same level as Ronaldinho and Henry.

This is what Rist is most satisfied with.The current Nike stars, Ronaldo, Figo, and Carlos have already gone downhill, and their influence has dropped a lot.That is, in a year or two, they will withdraw from the mainstream.And now their stars Ronaldinho and Henry are at their peak in a year or two, and after a year or two they will start to decline.

In other words, within three years at most, Ribery will be able to become Nike's top player.Of course, Nike also has a new talented star, that is Cristiano Ronaldo.At that time, Nike's main stars will be Cristiano Ronaldo and Ribery.This is what Rist attaches the most importance to. To become Nike's top player, other brands will flock to him at that time.

"Mr. Parker, I agree with most of your contracts. I will give you a detailed answer soon. I look forward to our cooperation."

"Good. Mr. Cherny."

…………

"Ginez, do you really have an agreement with Calderon?"

After talking with Parker, Rist quickly reviewed the contract.After researching with many people in the company, some modifications were also made.Soon Ribery and Nike completed the new contract about Ribery, and Ribery immediately became the star of Nike's heavy launch.

Entering July, Riester's eyes have shifted from the World Cup to Real Madrid.In the World Cup, Rist is most concerned about the Czech national team, and then the performance of Franck Ribery and Messi.

However, apart from Ribery, the performance of others disappointed Rist.Messi is in charge of PSV Eindhoven, scoring [-] goals and [-] assists in the Eredivisie last season.He was the best player in the Eredivisie last season.It is a pity that Argentina itself did not perform well in this World Cup.There was nothing outstanding about Messi either.

Before the World Cup, Messi was the hottest new star in pre-match speculation.They are on a par with Rooney, Fabregas, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Robben.It's a pity that these people's performances in the World Cup are mediocre, and they are completely incomparable with Ribery.Although Messi scored a goal in the World Cup, his overall performance was not as dazzling as the club.

As for the Czech Republic.As the best performing national team after entering the 21st century.Only entered the quarterfinals of this World Cup.The golden generation of the Czech Republic has entered the end of their careers.Playing in the league is fine.But in intensive cup matches, such as the World Cup, their physical strength is completely unable to keep up.

Both Nedved and Poborski are 34 years old.Jan Koller is also 33 years old, Gilberto Silva and Senna will be 30 soon.The World Cup was too intensive. After the knockout round of the Champions League, Jan Koller and the others began to get tired, and their performance was far worse than the last World Cup.In the end, they were eliminated in the quarter-elimination rounds.

The Czech Republic was eliminated, Argentina was also eliminated, and Ribery's performance was as good as ever.For Rist, the rest of the World Cup campaign doesn't have much appeal.The World Cup championship is of no use to Riester, and Riester doesn't care.On the contrary, Real Madrid's presidential election is already in full swing.

July 7th is the statistics of the Real Madrid presidential election.And just after entering July, Calderon began to throw his chips.First of all, it is guaranteed that the famous coach Capello will be brought in, and that he will never interfere with the work of the coaching staff headed by Capello.Then he vowed to guarantee that he and Fabregas already have a contract, and as long as he is elected, he can bring Fabregas.

"Fart agreement."

Carvajal couldn't help but swear.Then he said with contempt: "Ramon is a typical person who only knows how to brag. He brags every day, but he has no courage at all. Do you know what conditions he set when negotiating with Arsenal?"

"what?"

"6000 million euros, he wants 6000 million euros to introduce Francisco."

"Very courageous. Francisco is only 19 years old and paid 6000 million euros. Only Real Madrid has such courage. It is estimated that even Chelsea will not spend so much money."

Rist was surprised.Fabregas is very good, especially when Arsenal won the Champions League this season, Fabregas' contribution is still quite large.Besides Henry, Cesc Fabregas contributed the most.But even Henry can't reach the worth of 6000 million euros, and it's impossible for Cesc Fabregas to be so expensive.

According to the market price, Fabregas' transfer fee is more than 4000 million euros.Unless it is a local tyrant, it is difficult to exceed 5000 million euros.

“魄力？我要是说出来肯定笑死你。拉蒙竟然跟阿森纳说，首付1000万欧元、未来四年当中每年给400万欧元、再给阿森纳添上格拉维森折价500万欧元、拿到联赛冠军400万欧元、拿到欧冠冠军600万欧元、以后如果转会给阿森纳20.00%的转会费分成，这个折成千万欧元。还有一些乱七八糟的其他附加条款，最终凑成6000万。”

Rist frowned, and then said in surprise: "No way? This is 6000 million. How could Real Madrid play like this? The down payment is only 1000 million. This is a joke. Arsenal should lack cash most because of new players. What is 1000 million worth?"

"What a joke. Ramon has reached an agreement with Capello. As long as Ramon is elected as the president of Real Madrid, Capello will become the head coach of Real Madrid. Once Capello enters Real Madrid, he will introduce Emerson and Cannava Luo. And Capello asked to introduce a center forward. If you can come to Real Madrid, think about what level it should be. How much will it cost, no less than 4000 million euros. And Real Madrid has so many stars now, their The salary is the top in European football. Therefore, Real Madrid is currently burdened very heavily, where does Real Madrid have so much cash."

"Even then, Real Madrid wouldn't be so short of money, would they?"

"You don't understand. Real Madrid's finances are not as good as imagined. The superstars that Real Madrid bought before, the money was not directly paid by Real Madrid. Florentino was also bought with bank money, otherwise how can a football club have money?" So much cash. But Florentino can borrow money from the bank anytime and anywhere. He has enough face and never lacks money to buy players. Real Madrid has no money, but the bank has money. What is Ramon? He will not give him face just because he is the chairman of Real Madrid. Buying Francisco for 6000 million, even if Ramon is sold, he will not be able to get 6000 million euros in cash. So a lot of installments and various additional item."

"Then he is just talking nonsense?"

"of course."

Carvajal shook his head.Carvajal originally wanted to cooperate well with Calderon, but seeing Calderon's appearance, he really looked down on him.As a candidate for the chairman of Real Madrid, he does not have a little bit of courage and ability, and he is completely incomparable with Florentino.Carvajal originally thought about Fabregas coming to Real Madrid. After all, Arsenal is not as good as Real Madrid.But now he has long since abandoned the plan to let Fabregas go to Real Madrid.With Calderon's virtue, he would not be able to spend the money to buy Cesc Fabregas in eight lifetimes.

"Ha ha."

Rist couldn't help laughing.And he laughed louder and louder, and finally said: "Ginez, the strong Florentino is not needed for the two of us. Isn't it more suitable for us to look like Calderon?"

"Correct."

For a powerful chairman like Florentino, no agent can influence him.Just as few people can control Ferguson and Wenger, Florentino will not let any agent challenge his position.Even though Mendes was very strong in history, it was under Florentino's indulgence.When Florentino wanted to suppress Mendes, it was really a matter of minutes.

On the contrary, Calderon does not have that kind of strength, nor does he have that kind of bold move.But it is precisely because Calderon is not strong enough that he will rely more on agents like Rist and Carvajal.The weaker and more stupid Calderon is, the better it will be for Rist and Carvajal.
