Chapter 171
The first time, the second time.
"Hi, Brother Zhai, how come you have time to call me today?"
"I'm afraid of disturbing your training and rest. I watch your games every week, watching you constantly lead the team to victory, and I'm sincerely happy for you! Hahaha!"
"Haha, fortunately, it's mainly because of my teammates' strength, otherwise I, a goalkeeper, can't score a goal even if I defend well!"
"Haha, that's true. Let's get back to the point. This time I called you mainly to communicate with you about the renewal of our cooperation. In view of the pleasant cooperation between us before, and your current rising fame, Zong decided to pay you 100 million yuan in advertising fees for your endorsement every year. What do you think?"
"..."
Lei Ming was a little stunned when he heard this.
He thought that the other party might be negotiating for advertising endorsement, but he didn't expect that the amount would be so much.
But what he didn't expect was...
"Hey, Lei Ming, you're listening, why don't you say anything? Are you not satisfied? If not, how about we add another 20 million?"
On the day of the phone call, Zhai Tianlin and Zong Li were both very nervous. Seeing that Lei Ming had not spoken, Zong Li gave him a look and Zhai Tianlin added another 20 million.
They all knew that with Lei Ming's current ability to make money and influence, this advertising endorsement was really nothing to him, but they really didn't want to lose the cooperation with the other party.
During the time when Lei Ming was the spokesperson for Zongsheng Beverage, they really gained substantial benefits, otherwise Zong Li would not have been so cruel to give Lei Ming such a large endorsement fee.
She knew very well that the reason why Kelyon sparkling water sold so well this year was inseparable from Lei Ming, especially its international influence, which was comparable to many popular beverages. If they wanted to continue to gain a foothold overseas in the future, cooperation with Lei Ming would be very important.
According to the momentum shown by Lei Ming now, their investment of 120 million yuan would definitely not be lost. If they lost Lei Ming because of the price problem, it would be a real loss. Zong Li was even more unwilling to see him being poached by other companies.
This time, Lei Ming was really surprised!
How could he have increased another 20 million when he just took a breath? Are all the water sellers in China so rich now?
"Uh, 100 million is fine, that's not what I meant!"
"No, Mr. Zong said, it's 120 million, you deserve this value."
"Okay, you can ask Paul for the specific matters of the endorsement, I will listen to his arrangements at that time, I will call him later."
After both parties hung up the phone, Zhai Tianlin and Zong Li from Zongsheng Beverage finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least Lei Ming did not refuse to continue to cooperate with them.
Although 120 million is painful, it is a reasonable investment if Lei Ming's exclusive advertising rights for beverages in China can be obtained.
Both of them believe that this deal will still make both parties win-win.
Soon, Zhai Tianlin received a call from Paul. This kid's communication ability in Chinese has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has no problem communicating with Zhai Tianlin in Chinese now.
After all, during this period, Paul often received calls from people who wanted to find Lei Ming to endorse advertisements, and each one paid more money than the other, which also gave him a stronger motivation to learn Chinese.
After the two sides made some adjustments to the details of the cooperation, Paul promised the other party that he would go over to sign the contract next week. The two sides were old acquaintances, so they would not be very stubborn about the payment. They would still pay in installments. Anyway, Lei Ming was really not short of money now.
In the 23rd round of the Premier League, this news was like a flash of lightning that broke through the night sky, illuminating every corner of the Arsenal team!
The entire Arsenal team was immersed in jubilation, and everyone was ecstatic and excited.
Because Manchester City suffered another defeat, this defeat was like a heavy hammer, giving them a heavy blow.
And this result directly led to Manchester City's points being left behind. Now they are three points less than Arsenal!
What does this mean? This means that Arsenal has transformed itself and become the team with the highest points in the league!
Their road to glory seems to have become brighter, and the championship trophy seems to be waving in front of them.
And this time, it was not someone else who defeated the powerful Manchester City, but the Liverpool Red Army led by Klopp.
FC Porto!
Perhaps Guardiola has paid enough attention to this game and sent all the main players of the team to play, but still can't get all three points above Anfield.
The home blessing of Anfield and the strong Red Army made them feel the feeling of losing again. The points originally tied with Arsenal also decreased by three points, which made Guardiola's heart suddenly throb, feeling very bad.
Judging from the current league situation, if Arsenal can keep it up, they may not have the chance to overtake at the end of the season.
This season, Arsenal's sudden rise is like a whirlwind, sweeping the entire Premier League.
Their outstanding performance makes every round of the game full of endless suspense and exciting highlights.
The Premier League has once again ushered in an exciting era-many teams are competing for the championship throne!
This lively scene not only makes the fans excited, but also makes the various units that broadcast the Premier League games ecstatic.
The broadcast of each game attracted the attention of countless viewers, and the ratings continued to rise, far exceeding other leagues.
This stage, once known as the world's first football league, now has new vitality and charm.
After that, Arsenal played against Chelsea in the League Cup. Perhaps Chelsea did not take this event so seriously, and the final result of this game was still Arsenal's victory.
But this game was also a small breakthrough for Hazard personally, because he finally scored a goal in Lei Ming's hands!
In this game, Wenger also replaced most of the main players in advance after the second half, which made the defense in the backcourt suddenly appear empty. The cooperation between the new substitutes and Lei Ming was obviously a little hesitant. When Lei Ming was directing, he did not stop him in the first time, which also led to Hazard getting a comfortable chance to shoot at that time.
Facing the powerful volley that was close at hand, Lei Ming still failed to block the opponent's goal even though he sensed the ball path at that time.
In the end, the game ended with a score of 2:1.
Arsenal successfully advanced to the final of this event. After February, they will face the winner of another game, Manchester City, at Wembley Stadium!
