Chapter 209 – 100 Million Euro Player (2)

209

It’s only fortnight
Fortnight.
15th.

Who would believe it if he earned more than 40 billion won in just 15 days, not 15 years or 15 months?
That’s through only 4 contracts.

A contract that started with GT and led to Sasung, Mercedes, and Nike.
You can tell how much my status has risen just by looking at the fact that everyone is a world-class conglomerate, except for GT, which started off.

To be honest, the contract with GT Group played a big role in this success.
Although my skills and marketability were the foundation, it is clear that the terms of the contract would have been worse than now.

Since it was a contract with the GT Group, which was a concept in which the son-in-law takes care of the father-in-law and the father-in-law takes care of the son-in-law rather than the purpose itself for marketing, the conditions themselves were very generous, but this became a kind of guideline.

Officially, the father-in-law and Harin are South-South.
In reality, she is being treated as a daughter, and even as a daughter of a high-ranking person whom she cherishes and cherishes.

Since I, who had been a ‘lofty star’ who had not received any sponsorship, signed a sponsorship with GT Group, which I have no contact with, people who do not know the circumstances must have wondered what the hell happened.

When a question arises, people tend to think rationally.
Attention was focused on ‘How long did it take for Hong Min-joon to accept it?’, And at that time, the contents of the contract were leaked at the right time, and it became a guideline.

Thanks to this, in 15 days, I signed 3 sponsorships with 4 companies and 2 infusions.

Sponsorship is a direct marketing method we are familiar with.
For example, a direct way for me to come out with a private smartphone and advertise that this is good.

Endorsement, on the other hand, is a more indirect marketing technique.
Instead of promoting the product directly, the contractor uses the company’s product during a game, has its logo engraved on the uniform, or wears only the company’s product on a regular basis. For example, soccer shoes sponsored by Adidas or Nike in matches. Just write

There are 4 companies that have contracted this time, but why are there 3 sponsorships and 2 deliveries? Because of this difference, GT and Sasung signed a general sponsorship contract to shoot an advertisement for the company.

Like a direct contract, the detailed terms and conditions are simple.
Filming one commercial each by next month and using it on TV or the Internet for a year.

Well, the commercial shooting has to be completed in one day, the time cannot exceed 9 hours, and you have to pay some extra money to use it for other media… There is a lot of blah blah content, but this is all the key.

The fact that I can use the commercials I filmed for one year and that my unit cost exceeds 10 billion won.

In a word, it means that I made 20 billion from 2 commercials.
… Of course, the down payment with the GT Group is only a ‘document’, and in reality, it will be replaced with a stake in the soccer team, so what will be actually held will be the stake, but anyway, isn’t the value worth 10 billion?

On the other hand, Benz and Nike were a little more complicated, perhaps because of the characteristics of the instrumentation.
First of all, in the case of Mercedes, during the two-year contract period, they said that they would provide four cars per year on the condition that all cars I drive must be Mercedes. Absolutely unlimited number of models and colors.

Well, since I don’t have a license, I changed it to the condition that someone else drive… After receiving the CLS, which was her dream car, as a gift from Harin the other day, her interest in cars plummeted, so it didn’t matter anyway.

I wanted to have it when I didn’t have it, but even when I got it, I couldn’t drive because I didn’t have a license, and even if I got a license, I had to have time to drive.

In any case, they said they would give money, so they would receive more than 8 billion won for two years on the condition that they use the car provided by Mercedes-Benz. I don’t even drive anyway.

In the case of Nike, they signed both sponsorship and advertising for soccer boots.
Nike will make my own soccer boots, so I wear only them in official matches, and later shoot a commercial.

They say it’s an easy and simple video that takes less than an hour if it’s short, but when they asked what to do with such a short video, they said that they combined it with a video of a famous soccer player sponsored by Nike to make one advertisement video.

Why is there such an advertisement in which many soccer stars appear briefly in Nike advertisements?
When I was young, I wished to stand side by side with players like that, but I never thought I would end up in a position like this.

Anyway, the contract with Nike was the longest and most complicated. The contract period was 3 years, and the basic down payment was 4 billion. How much is the d’Or podium, how much is the Ballon d’Or award… There were really many conditions to come.

The guarantee money is about 1.3 billion won a year, but if all conditions are met, it will be inflated and reach 4 billion won.

The contract with GT, which is replaced by shares in the soccer team, Nike with all kinds of conditions, and in the end, excluding miscellaneous things, the basic money that is actually given to me is 20 billion, which is half of that, let alone 40 billion…

“Awesome. Shall I do more commercials?”
“Do it in moderation. If you needlessly consume images, the ransom will only go down.”
“It’s crazy, it’s crazy. Is it a true story of 20 billion won in 15 days? Yeah it’s true Kya~ Hong Min-jun as expected! Nice me! 20 billion in 15 days is 40 billion in a month! Hey honey belt~”
“… If you calculate the tax, it will fall, so please sit tight.”

Yeah~ but it’s 10 billion units~
With this, I’ll buy my parents and Daye’s parents’ house and get some points~

My shoulders are shaking with excitement,

“It’s the beginning of the meeting, so please keep your mouth shut.”

Daye reproaches her.
Bad year. I was thinking of buying my parents’ house, but Seo-bang didn’t even know.

I even grumbled for a while.
The moment the large TV screen connected to the laptop turned on, he put on a serious expression.

—Nice to meet you, Minjun Hong. As you probably already know, let me introduce you again. Deutschermeister (German champion) Oliver Goettingen, general manager of Bayern Munich.
—Mathias Proschlitter, Vice President.
—It’s an honor to meet Rekordmeister (record champion). My name is Nicola Erchev, vice president of Bayern.
“Nice to meet you. This is Hong Min-jun.
“I am Hong Min-jun’s representative, agent Oh Harin.”
— I hope you get good results. So, let’s start the meeting.

* * *

Transfers are inherently secretive.
It is common for leaks, official tweets, and transfer-related news, but most of them are for media play by clubs or agents.

Of course, it’s not like there are cases where the contents of the actual negotiations are leaked, but basically, transfer negotiations are usually secretly whispering between clubs and clubs or between clubs and players.

However, ‘general’ means that there are cases that are not common on the contrary… There are often transfer negotiations that deviate from conventional wisdom. Just like this time.

Rumors of a transfer of Hong Min-joon began to circulate from the middle of the season.
The cause is an overwhelming performance that goes beyond the level of the club.

It would have been different if Frankfurt had been a prestigious club that was trying to win or was a regular in the Champions League. However, Frankfurt is a club that has just been promoted to the first division this season.

An irregular named Min-Jun Hong caused a sensation, but in other words, without Min-Jun Hong, it would have been just a team that would have no problem wandering through the relegation zone.

Also, so is the financial situation.
Thanks to the Bundesliga’s unique financial policy and its hometown of Frankfurt, the center of the German economy, the financial situation is not bad, but the absolute size itself is incomparably smaller than other big clubs.

In the commercialized modern football field, a club with a small financial scale cannot have a high status.
Even if a small club can temporarily produce good results, isn’t it because they can’t handle financial issues that they can’t maintain?

Sometimes there are outstanding players who don’t fit the status, but keeping it is a different matter.
If a player is stolen by other big clubs that promote recruiting with overwhelmingly high salaries and the club’s status as a weapon, the blast of a weak club that relies on an ace is bound to disappear like a mirage.

And the Frankfurt board knew this well.
In the middle of the season, considering the size of the offer for Min-Jun Hong in the winter transfer market and Min-Jun Hong’s intention to inform through his agent that he had no intention of renewing the contract, the only thing left was to sell.

That’s why Frankfurt officially decided to release Hong Min-jun.
For a whopping 100 million euros.

Generally, clubs that want a player compete to raise the transfer fee, but Frankfurt’s declaration of an “Official ransom of 100 million euros” Is quite unusual.

Considering that there are many clubs that want Hong Min-joon, and that all of them are big clubs that don’t bow down for money, and considering that they could collect a transfer fee of more than 100 million euros if there is competition, Frankfurt’s decision certainly seemed irrational. .
