On the other hand.
On July 13, Manchester City players around the world also received a notice that the team will start the new season preparation training camp in advance.
For this.
Manchester City veterans have long expected it.
With the addition of 10 new teammates, the team will definitely need more time to adapt and practice tactics.
And Guardiola also mentioned it in the email.
On July 22, the team will also rush to Germany to play a friendly match with the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, which has experienced the introduction of several players this summer.
.............................................................
On July 14, Su Fei bid farewell to Gao Yuanyuan at Daxing International Airport, officially ending his sweet time of more than a month.
But the direct destination of this flight is not England.
It is the Magic City.
Before returning to Manchester.
Su Fei also needs to sign his personal sneaker endorsement contract this summer.
In fact, it was just these few days.
Su Fei has conducted preliminary quotation negotiations with many companies including Nike and Adidas, two global sports goods giants, through his agent Raiola.
In the end, Su Fei chose a brand that Raiola completely did not expect...
The engine roared and the plane flew across the sky.
It was half past ten in the morning.
Su Fei, who was dressed in a low-key manner, saw the highly recognizable Raiola at the pick-up gate of the Magic City Airport.
His agent still wore black sunglasses and a long windbreaker all year round.
"Su! Haha, I haven't seen you for more than a month! You've become more handsome again!"
"You too, you look a lot thinner."
"You're right, I'm losing weight recently. When you reach middle age, you'll understand my pain."
"No, I'll always control my diet."
The two chatted as they got into the special car prepared by Raiola. The black business car drove smoothly on the streets of Shanghai in 2007.
Su Fei looked at the street scene outside through the car window.
Shanghai in 2007 still used white and green road signs, and green newsstands could be seen everywhere on the streets. The closer you get to the city center, the more skyscrapers rise from the ground, gradually approaching Su Fei's impression of Shanghai in his previous life.
Su Fei, who traveled around the country this summer, was quite touched.
On urban construction and development.
Shanghai is indeed a level higher than 99% of the other cities in the country, and it is also one of the few cities that can be compared with the modernization of the big cities in England.
The Olympics will be held in Beijing next year, and China is developing at a lightning speed.
"Su, I still don't understand."
"Why did you reject Adidas?There was a 7-year offer of $140 million, and there was a 7-year offer of $150 million from Nike... but they chose a Chinese brand that currently has no influence in the international market. "
"The most important thing is... they said in their final offer yesterday that they can only give us 3 years and $36 million at most."
While Su Fei was admiring the street view, Raiola couldn't help but raise his biggest question in recent times.
"Money is not a problem, Raiola."
"The first sneaker is different. I don't want to sign for too long. And I also have some feelings of my own."
"The most important thing is... I plan to build my own sports brand in the future, so it is impossible for me to use myself to increase the influence of Adidas and Nike. "
Raiola suddenly realized, and a look of shock climbed up to the corners of his eyes. He didn't expect that Su Fei actually had such ambitions.
Preparing to build a sports business empire of his own?
If it were someone else.
Raiola would definitely laugh it off. What a joke!
A football player under the age of 20 not only rejected Nike and Adidas, but also said that he wanted to create a sports brand that competes with Nike and Adidas in the future?
Outrageous, the biggest mystery in the world!
But because it was Su Fei, Raiola felt that this kid might really be able to do it.
Let alone anything else.
When Su Fei first arrived at Manchester City two years ago, he directly invested all the salary and endorsement fees he received in Apple, and the operation of continuously increasing his holdings has made Raiola admire him. .
Because from August 2005 to now, Apple's stock has experienced a huge growth every few months.
When Su Fei first bought it, it was more than 30 US dollars per share. Just yesterday, Raiola took a look and found that it had risen to 208 US dollars per share....
In two years, the return on investment has been nearly 7 times...
Raiola no longer looks at Su Fei as a "football player".
The two were silent.
The black business car also arrived at the destination of this trip.
After Raiola got out of the car, he took the initiative to open the door for Su Fei. Su Fei was stunned for a moment, but didn't say much.
Under the building.
The two men in suits saw Su Fei and couldn't hide their excitement and surprise in their eyes.
"Hello, Mr. Su!"
"I am very happy that you can give us the opportunity to cooperate with Anta this time. I am the general manager of Anta Greater China, Leo!"
"This is the director of our sneaker design department, Anson! "
Su Fei smiled and shook hands with the two.
As soon as he followed them into the building.
He saw a scene that made him laugh and cry.
Anta even set up a red carpet in the lobby, and on both sides were tall female receptionists wearing Manchester City jerseys.
As soon as he stepped on the red carpet.
The female receptionists began to sing a song that Su Fei was familiar with.
"Blue Moon~"
"You know just what I was there for~"
"You heard me saying a prayer for~"
