Vol 6 Chapter 20: Above the Blue Clouds (10)

"5 million euros." Wang Ai indifferently walked to a leisure bench on the side of the road and sat down. He was not tired, but the dog was tired.
"so little?"
"A large part of Milan’s 13 million is that I sacrificed the personal portrait rights club’s feedback to me. In fact, I still lost. So at Bayern I got all the personal portrait rights, so I definitely can’t take that high. Besides, although the group portrait rights are half and half of Bayern and I, this part of the income is directly credited to my advertising account, not the salary card."
"Then this 5 million is... determined according to your competitive value?"
"Yeah." Wang Ai nodded: "Look at Sneijder, there is no advertising value, right? So his salary is 3 million, and my role is bigger than him... Actually, the competitive value is not just that you can help the team. Very busy, in fact, he can be regarded as an inherent advertising value, or commercial value. It’s just that he does not achieve it through mainstream image authorization, but through more traditional methods such as tickets, jerseys, stadium sponsorship, and game broadcasts. ."
"In other words, it mainly depends on your performance on the court, but it is still reflected through commercial means?"
"Yes, professional league." At this point, Wang Ai bent over and touched the dog's head, straightened up and said, "You said Sneijder, his salary is only a quarter of mine? It's not his character. Is he always repelling off-field activities? It stands to reason that he is a good player. He is honestly living off the court without scandals, and training honestly to improve the level, but the problem is that you are already in a professional league and you have to do things in accordance with business rules. If you don’t go to the club to arrange activities, you don’t pay attention to your personal image. You’re a little bald. It’s okay. You can shave your head and look masculine like Zidane, and you can develop it. The point is that you really want to develop it according to your appearance. , The impression that the game leaves the public to shape your image, so that your portrait can be sold for money, and the club will give you a salary increase according to your contribution, but you don’t, you still envy other people’s high salary, then The club can't help it, right?"
Li Jun finally understood, and nodded: "Even without advertising, it is good to help the club sell more tickets and more jerseys, right?"
"Isn't it?" Wang Ai stood up again, shook the dog leash, and the lazy lady got up and walked forward: "After all, our professional players are a group of actors. The confrontation on the court is our performance. Create profits for the club. The higher your contribution, the higher your income will be no matter which way you use it. How can a worker who cannot create value for the boss be considered a good worker? Only the greater the value you create, The higher the surplus value the boss gets, the more it will be given to you."
"Are you also a worker?" Zhang Guang finally couldn't help but asked.
Wang Ai glanced at Li Jun and others and said with a smile: "Me too, since I debuted in 2000, I have always been on the cusp of the wave, and I have been considered the best in the industry. But that’s how it worked for ten years before gaining the status of a partner. , Can be regarded as the existence side by side with the boss. But if my country does not go all out to support me, there is no big market of 1.4 billion people willing to be my wallet, I dare to say to Bayern that my portrait rights belong to me It is precisely because my motherland did not hesitate to stand behind me, and my fans did not hesitate to respond to my call and follow in my footsteps that forced Bayern’s management to realize that this money is my money, not them. They gave up the money, otherwise you look at it again? Messi is amazing? Talent is even better than me, but he dare to negotiate with Barcelona? Not to mention that Argentine fans have a lot of options, so they all support him. How much is it? How big is the market? Then Cristiano Ronaldo is even worse. Portugal, how big is the country?"
Zhang Guang exhaled: "Really, you have really changed the rules of international football. None of those stars were from your background."
Wang Ai did two chest expansion exercises: "The yellow skin has brought me many enemies, but it also gave me a strong support. Therefore, you can now understand why I spend so much money on Project Hope every year. Right? I won't do it if the flowers are less, and I have to take the initiative to persuade me to save it, right?"
Yan Zhu smiled and said, "When I get smaller, it means self-protection..."
Li Jun followed up: "Going bigger, is it divided with the country?"
Wang Ai pointed to Li Jun: "It should be said that it is to repay the love of the motherland and the people."
Li Jun smiled: "Then you haven't said why you are not afraid of those terrorists. Are you afraid that they will actually come to your house to pull banners?"
Wang Ai snorted: "As long as I don't make a clear political statement to hurt the feelings of some German fools, they will never take the initiative to touch me. I said that so much is always the same thing, that is, they are Germans. For money, I make money for the Germans, and the entire Bundesliga will benefit from me. Do you think this group of host’s diners dare to hurt the host’s money bag? Borrow them both!"
At the press conference on the second day, the atmosphere was peaceful, cheerful, and relaxed. Wang Ai took over the No. 20 shirt from Neeringer and Beckenbauer, who came here specially. The host announced that Wang Ai’s annual salary at Bayern was 1250. Ten thousand euros aroused an exclamation, in one fell swoop surpassed the current highest-paid "scar man" Ribéry, and it was still after tax!
Of course, this is just a fake salary agreed by Wang Ai and Bayern. Bayern needs to boost morale. Wang Ai also needs to maintain his superstar status on the surface. It is impossible for Bayern to tell the outside world that it has not obtained Wang Ai's portrait rights, and has signed a "Alliance under the City". Wang Ai, who has taken advantage of it, can't beat the club like this, so it has agreed on such an external salary.
The reason why I chose the No. 20 jersey is that the No. 10 jersey belongs to Robben and Ribery is No. 7. Wang Ai can neither ask for theirs, nor can he choose No. 8 or No. 12 in the player list. close.
After all, Wang Ai's position puts a lot of pressure on them, and Wang Ai doesn't want to leave an aggressive impression on his new teammates.
When asking questions, indeed, some ignorant reporter asked about the terrorist letter of protest to Bayern. Wang Ai looked at the Bayern officials around him and smiled: "I'm here to play football, not to campaign. Munich is the city where I show my skills, not the city where I demonstrate. I hope to bring honor and happiness to it, not chaos and disorder."
Before the reporter asked, the respected Beckenbauer took the lead in applauding, and by the way showed the attitude of Bayern and even the German football community: Don't mess up!
After the press conference, Wang Ai accompanied Beckenbauer out.
"Will you bring Munich a Champions League title? You have won 4 in 3 teams." The old man asked with interest.
"Can you convince UEFA to let me collect it?" Wang Ai answered with a smile.
