"Serie A?" Zhang Kuang asked himself.
He closed his eyes and quickly ran through each team's situation in his mind.
Manchester United--There will be no more Ferguson, and the decline of Manchester United is about to begin. Going to Manchester United is like joining Kuomintang in 1949 and entering the palace as a eunuch in 1911.
Manchester City--Manchester City has money and ambition, but Manchester City of Mancini has not yet established a true championship temperament.
Chelsea--There are Ancelotti, Drogba, Lampard, and Terry, but the core lineup of Chelsea is aging, and the competition for Premier League is too fierce.
Arsenal--No money, no championship, just painting cakes. He Zhang Kuang is not an eighteen-year-old young man. Who would work hard to eat cakes without meat?
Real Madrid--There are many superstars, but he can only play a supporting role to Cristiano Ronaldo, and the dressing room is complicated.
In the Barcelona--Messi team, everyone is a supporting role. Besides, he doesn't like Barcelona's tactics, let alone Guardiola's. He admires Bald Gua and is a great coach, but he doesn't want to cooperate with him.
Bayern Munich--Bundesliga's overlord, but currently ill, Van Gaal's Bayern Munich is still in the running-in period, and the competition at the front is fierce.
Inter Milan--Mourinho's team is at its peak, but can he play the main role if he leaves? Milito, Eto'o, Balotelli, Pandev--Four forwards rotate two positions, the competition is too fierce.
Besides, they will win the UEFA Champions League championship this season, and after winning it, Mourinho will also leave. What is he going to do? Rush into the sunset? And then follow the team into eternal darkness?
AC Milan--No money, no future, a nursing home.
Juventus--The down-and-out giant is in a period of reconstruction. He will be the absolute core. Can he lead the team to revival? And his nine-year dynasty in the future can achieve his unparalleled historical status.
Moreover, next Juventus will win consecutive championships with Serie A 9, known as "You Lai Jiu". Unfortunately, they are almost interested in UEFA Champions League, but the foundation is there. If you join, can you have some ideas on UEFA Champions League?
"Juventus?" Zhang Kuang opened his eyes and said these two words.
Jonathan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Zhang Kuang would think of Juventus? There are so many wealthy families, now any one is better than Juventus, right?
Zhang Kuang looked at Jonathan with confusion and no explanation.
"Jonathan, please help me negotiate the terms one by one first. I will decide which team to go to. This is our agreement. Of course, there is no rush to decide now, after all, there are still several months."
Jonathan stared at him for a few seconds, then nodded slowly.
"Okay! Then there is always a tendency, right? The other party can decide on team building ideas based on your joining."
"Well, let's focus on Juventus, but don't make it too obvious. It allows them to see the huge possibilities without giving a clear signal."
"OK, I understand. Next, let's talk about your business matters."
"Zhang, there is something you must know." He raised his head, his expression more serious than before, "Your worth is different now from a month ago."
"I know."
"No, you don't know." He pulled out a folder from the table and opened it. Inside were more than a dozen letters of intent and quotations.
"China's company was the first to take action. The day after your hat-trick debut, three brands came to me through intermediaries. At that time, you said you would wait until the end of the season. Now, there are more brands quoting."
Zhang Kuang took the folder and scanned it quickly.
There are two milk brands, the two that everyone knows, Mengniu and Yili, quoted between 5 million and 8 million yuan per year.
Sportswear brands - three, China brand, all have quotations of around 5 million yuan per year.
But one of the quotations came from an international brand - although the name was not written, the Nike logo and the header format of the quotation all hinted at who it was.
"Nike?" Zhang Kuang raised his head.
"Nike and Puma are both interested," Jonathan said. "They haven't made a formal offer yet, but they have expressed their willingness to cooperate through an intermediary. Nike said that as you grow and become the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi in the future, they are willing to give you a long-term, competitive contract."
Zhang Kuang continued to scroll down, and then his finger stopped.
Health care brand-"Shengyuan" men's health care products.
Contract amount: RMB 8 million per year.
The terms of the contract require: three advertising shoots a year, two offline activities, and no less than twelve social media exposures.
The title of the planning plan attached to the contract reads, "Conquer four women in one night, 'Shengyuan' will help you - the tough guy image endorsement plan of football superstar Zhang Kuang".
Zhang Kuang stared at the line of titles for three seconds, then closed the file and pushed it aside, with an inexplicably wonderful expression.
Shengyuan? He searched his memory and found no impression of this brand.
Seeing Zhang Kuang's doubts, Jonathan explained, "Oh, we checked this brand and it was just established in less than a week.
Originally, we didn't want to show it to you, but the people from their company had to keep increasing the quotation, and even said it didn't matter if they didn't accept it, but they had to let you see it."
Zhang Kuang It's obvious, no wonder I haven't heard of it. It must be some domestic speculator who saw his sexy news and thought it was a business opportunity, so he came up with this kind of ghost idea.
When he opened another one, he saw another brand, Sildenafil Citrate. Isn't this Viagra?
Damn it, why do all these products fall in love with him?
I read an advertisement above, "Just one pill and you will be as powerful as me!"
I have to admire these people's clever ideas. They are really awesome. After seeing his sexy news, I immediately ran over to advertise.
It's not like he really took some 'Shengyuan' or 'sildenafil citrate' to be so powerful. Why should he attribute his greatness to these drugs?
If someone else takes it and it doesn't work, doesn't that mean they are doing false advertising?
"If you see similar advertisements in the future, please don't show them to me and reject them directly," he said.
Jonathan smiled, "I guessed you would say that."
"Is there anything else?"
"Yes." Jonathan pulled out a file from the bottom, "You may be interested in this one."
Zhang Kuang took it and took a look--
Brand: Sina Weibo.
Quotation: RMB 12 million per year.
Contract period: three years.
Contract requirements: Zhang Kuang serves as the global brand ambassador of Sina Weibo, and the advertising covers China, Southeast Asia, and Europe. The advertising shooting needs to match the time of Zhang Kuang and can be carried out during the offseason.
Zhang Kuang looked at this quotation and was stunned for a moment.
This can be considered.
Next, what about Lenovo computer - the price is 8 million yuan per year, but Zhang Kuang is required to use Lenovo computer in public places.
This condition is too harsh for players, because what players most commonly use in the locker room and on the road is not computers, but mobile phones.
The computer is still acceptable, Lenovo mobile phone? What kind of garbage product?
Zhang Kuang closed the folder and returned it to Jonathan.
"There is no rush about the endorsement matter. Let's talk about it slowly. I said that I will not sign any endorsement ads before the end of the season. Now I just want to play well in the game, strive to win the championship and get the golden boot."

I'm afraid Zhang Kuang didn't fully understand why he just practiced according to the training requirements of the system, and then tried his best to score Qi and Blood Points and strive for Upgrade Card on the court according to the system's requirements. He did nothing else. How come he felt like a top traffic star and received the utmost attention from all parties?
He just wants to play football well and then quietly practice to improve his strength.
Be low-key, must be super low-key.
Who would have known that the media would release the news the next day that several top wealthy clubs were vying to bid for Zhang Kuang, and they were all news organizations that Zhang Kuang was familiar with. Take a closer look:
"No, why is it that the author of this report has the same name as the four women he slept with last night?"
Zhang Kuang understood everything in an instant. He wanted to curse him. But then he thought about it. He didn't care about his money, or his girlfriend or wife's status. What happened to sleeping with him and making some comments about his traffic at the same time?
Oh, forget it, forget it, keep a low profile, keep a low profile.
Therefore, in the France Cup 1/8 finals on February 10th, he did not perform particularly Zhang Kuang. Facing a Ligue 2 team like Pau FC, he only scored four goals in the first half in a low-key manner and played for half of the game. He told the head coach at halftime that he did not want to play in the second half and that it was pointless to abuse such a team.
Although 4 goals can get 2 Qi and Blood Points, if he continues to score goals in the second half, the opponent will really break his legs. There is no need to score points on a Ligue 2 team.
Zhang Kuang thinks this is low-key enough? Who knows? When Ferguson was asked by reporters if he was in contact with Auxerre's China forward Zhang Kuang, Ferguson said that he was indeed in contact:
"For a forward like Zhang Kuang, it is impossible for Manchester United to have no ideas, especially when Cristiano Ronaldo leaves the team. We need a new core of the younger generation to slowly build Manchester United's future dynasty.
China Forward Zhang Kuang, he has a strong scoring ability, whether it is a header, a shot in the penalty area or a long shot, his scoring ability is very strong.
The most important thing is that he has three ball-king-level abilities. The first is physical confrontation ability. Top forwards generally have strong physical confrontation ability. The second is running ability. Zhang Kuang's running position is top-notch. He can always create opportunities on the offensive end.
The third one is, of course, his ability to advance from the wing. I believe everyone has seen his goal of the century. His ability to advance from the wing is undoubtedly at the forefront of today's football.
And these three abilities are all urgently needed by Manchester United as the core of the frontcourt offense in the future dynasty, so why can't we sign him?"
Reporter: "It is said that all the top clubs in Europe want to sign him. Why do you think he chose Manchester United?"
Ferguson: "Although there are many Europe top clubs, there are actually very few that Zhang Kuang can choose from, especially clubs like Manchester United that are both dominant and have strong commercial value. There are only two or three in the world.
The key is that among the two or three top clubs, even fewer can give Zhang Kuang the absolute offensive core position, because other clubs either have cores for the next ten years, or have financial or management problems of one kind or another. Currently, only Manchester United is the most suitable for Zhang Kuang."
--
Ferguson's words excited the reporters, but Zhang Kuang rarely gives interviews and has never even attended a press conference after a game, so it is not easy for reporters to interview him.
So TF1 reporter Marina Durand, who was competing against L'Équipe, took the advantage and exclusively interviewed Zhang Kuang in the interview after the Zhang Kuang game.
