Chapter 92: The Name of a Person, the Shadow of a Tree

The bright moon hangs in the sky, and the breeze is blowing slowly. At night, it is finally no longer hot. In front of him, Gao Peng, Zhang Ao, and a crowd of people are dancing like demons, while Hu Zixian and Ren Yuefeng are eating barbecue and talking in a low voice.

One can faintly hear the chirping of crickets. Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Dongling took a light sip of wine. In a few years, when everyone present has a family and a career, it is probably impossible to have this kind of scene again. When they gather again, it will not be the feeling of tonight.

Yao Luoying, who was sweating a little, sat beside Li Dongling. Li Dongling could smell the faint fragrance emanating from her body.

"I haven't been so happy for a long time," leaning on Li Dongling's shoulder, Yao Luoying lazily looked at the group of people who were still twisting their bodies and venting their energy. Thinking of the scene where their bodies were stiff when they were dancing just now, she still couldn't help laughing, "You didn't dance this dance much before?"

"Aren't you the same? You didn't step on my feet less just now!" Li Dongling said to Yao Luoying, who was leaning on his shoulder.

Yao Luoying hummed and changed to a more comfortable position, "I learned the violin before. My mother wanted me to join the orchestra, but in the end, I didn't let her wish."

In the courtyard, they tossed until midnight before the crowd dispersed. Yao Luoying was pulled back by several sisters in the family compound, and Li Dongling asked Yang Zhi Gao to drive them back.

From its establishment to the present, Dongling High-Tech has issued two products. The first is the mechanical Silver Mink mouse, which created a new benchmark for the mouse industry.

The second product is the electronic pet machine that is popular all over the world. This product has increased Dongling High-Tech's fame by a large margin. The most important thing is that it solved the financial problem.

Ren Yuefeng acts steadily, but it does not mean that he acts slowly. On the contrary, his execution ability is very strong. Regarding spending a huge amount of endorsement fees to choose an 18-year-old player as a spokesperson, although he felt that the risk was a bit high, he still executed it.

A Chinese face walked on the streets of Eindhoven, the fourth largest city in the Netherlands. Eindhoven is one of the four major tech cities in the Netherlands and Europe. The Eindhoven High-Tech Park has gathered companies and practitioners from more than 50 regions all year round, all of which are inseparable from Philips.

A company can really change a city. Lu Chao walked on the streets of Eindhoven, and one could see Philips billboards everywhere. The rest were DSM medicine. These two companies supported half the sky of Eindhoven.

Entering a coffee shop, Lu Chao glanced at the time. Yesterday he was still in Hong Kong, having just finished his resignation and preparing to defect to his old boss Ren Yuefeng. As a result, after a phone call, he took a plane to the Netherlands.

Lu Chao is Ren Yuefeng's old subordinate, almost cultivated and promoted by Ren Yuefeng. When he received Ren Yuefeng's call asking him to go over to help, Lu Chao almost didn't hesitate and resigned to defect.

Having followed Ren Yuefeng for so many years, Lu Chao knows Ren Yuefeng's character. He certainly won't pit him. At the beginning, his academic qualifications were not high, but he was still favored by Ren Yuefeng, recruited and cultivated. After years of training, he is already Ren Yuefeng's right-hand man and is enough to stand alone.

Lu Chao came to Europe this time mainly to establish an office in London for Dongling High-Tech to handle Dongling High-Tech's affairs in Europe.

To establish an office in Europe, Ren Yuefeng only felt at ease with someone like Lu Chao who was used to it and knew the roots and the bottom, so he applied to Li Dongling to dig Lu Chao over at a high price.

But after Lu Chao came to Europe, the first thing he had to do made him feel surprised. Finding a spokesperson for Dongling High-Tech's new product, and spending millions of dollars at once, Lu Chao felt that it didn't look like Ren Yuefeng's style at all. It was too risky. But what Ren Yuefeng explained, Lu Chao had to complete no matter what.

"Lu, Ma Dingsi will come in ten minutes. You have twenty minutes to talk to him. As for whether you can talk about it, it has nothing to do with me."

After Lu Chao sat down, a bald white man in his thirties or forties said to Lu Chao. This is the middleman Lu Chao contacted in advance, which is a public relations company. Although everyone hates middlemen, sometimes they really can't do without brokers. This is a group of people who are loved and hated, vampires but really take money to do things.

"I understand, Fenode. We will have opportunities to deal with each other in the future. I will be in Europe!" Lu Chao picked up a letter and pushed it to the middleman named Fenode.

Fenode touched his wallet, and his face suddenly showed joy. He opened it and took a look. There were a full 1,000 US dollars. This reward was definitely generous. It was just to make an appointment with a player's agent. Although it cost human feelings, he made a blood profit.

"Dear Lu, I wish you success. Fenode is willing to serve you at any time!"

After Fenode left, a few minutes later, an old man in his fifties walked into the coffee shop and then came to Lu Chao.

Seeing Lu Chao's face, Ma Dingsi raised his eyebrows, seemingly very surprised by Lu Chao's face, and said bluntly, "I'm sorry, I don't know which football club in Asia you are from, but Ronaldo will not leave Europe to play football for the time being. This is the center of world football!"

"I am not from a football club!"

Hearing this, Ma Dingsi had no interest, turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing Ma Dingsi' actions, Lu Chao cursed secretly. This old man didn't even want to finish listening to the words before leaving.

"We are here to find Ronaldo to endorse!"

Ma Dingsi' footsteps paused, but he still didn't look back. In his eyes, Ronaldo was definitely a football genius and would become a superstar in the future. It was not cost-effective for Ronaldo to sign an endorsement with an unknown small company at this time. Of course, there was another point: the endorsement fee was low, and he, the middleman, had no commission.

"8 million US dollars!"

Lu Chao's shout attracted the attention of many people in the coffee shop and also made Ma Dingsi stop his footsteps.

"Are you telling the truth?!"

Seeing Ma Dingsi looking straight at him, his breathing becoming heavy, Lu Chao became leisurely instead, "What do you think I came here for?!"

"I'm sorry, it was my rudeness just now. It's mainly because in the past, very few... Asian companies would come to Europe to find football stars to endorse and advertise!"

Ma Dingsi can bend and stretch. He has more than 100 players under his hand. These players have different personalities, including thorns and some stars. Being able to make these players behave, Ma Dingsi must have some brushes.

But what Ma Dingsi said is also the truth. Now domestic companies have not yet gone to sea. Finding European football stars to endorse, or even sponsoring football events, has never happened.

Unlike later generations, although domestic football is difficult to kick in world competitions, the sponsorship fee is high. From the European top five leagues to the Champions League, to the World Cup, which time is not the overwhelming advertisement of mainland companies on the stadium.

"I don't know which company you are?!" Ma Dingsi was still cautious, fearing that he would encounter a fraudulent company.

"Dongling High-Tech!"

Seeing Ma Dingsi' confused expression, Lu Chao added another sentence, "We launched the Silver Mink mouse that won the lawsuit against Microsoft, and the electronic pet machine!"

Hearing that he won the lawsuit against Microsoft, Ma Dingsi was somewhat respectful. Hearing that it was the company that developed the electronic pet machine, Ma Dingsi' face was already full of joy.

"Oh, it's too crazy. Is the electronic pet machine developed by your company?

You don't know how much my players like it. They even played it, which affected their training matches!

And my daughter, in order to buy a limited edition electronic pet machine, do you know how much money she spent on the black market? 650 pounds. That machine sold for 650 pounds on the black market!"

Talking about this made Ma Dingsi happy and gnashing his teeth. What made him happy was that the company that produced the electronic pet machine wanted to cooperate with his players. What made him gnash his teeth was that the machine sold for 650 pounds on the black market. He felt that it was darker than the agent industry!

"So, your company wants to find Ronaldo to endorse the electronic pet machine?" Ma Dingsi frowned and asked. It's not that it can't be endorsed, but he always felt that with Ronaldo's playing style and image, endorsing such a thing seemed a bit mismatched.

"No!"

"It is a new product developed by Dongling High-Tech, the Shenzhou digital cordless telephone. This is the world's first digital cordless telephone. It will be officially announced in a while. We need Ronaldo to endorse this product."

Lu Chao told Ma Dingsi about the things Dongling High-Tech headquarters explained to him, "We designed a goal celebration phone for Ronaldo. Every time he scores a goal, as long as Ronaldo makes a celebration action, we will give him a corresponding bonus, 2,000 US dollars each time!"

Lu Chao made a gesture to Ma Dingsi, with his thumb and little finger extended, and the other three fingers retracted, putting his hand to his face to represent making a phone call. This is the action that Dongling High-Tech needs Ronaldo to make after scoring a goal on the court.

A player, even if he is a shooting machine, scores at most a few hundred goals in his career. Making a celebration action every time he scores a goal, Dongling High-Tech pays 2,000 US dollars. It seems that it needs hundreds of thousands of US dollars, but think about it, using hundreds of thousands of US dollars to sponsor all the highlights of a player's career, is it still expensive?!

Ma Dingsi nodded. It's just a celebration action. Making a celebration action after scoring a goal and getting money is not a big deal.

"Is Dongling High-Tech really willing to pay an endorsement fee of 8 million US dollars?!"

This is what Ma Dingsi cares about most. Ronaldo has talent. This can be seen by the Brazilian national football team, and it can also be seen by other European giants. But whether talent can be realized, no one can guarantee.

What is the concept of an endorsement fee of 8 million US dollars? Not to mention that Ronaldo has not yet realized his talent into strength. Even if he becomes a star, once this endorsement fee comes out, it will definitely shock the entire European football world. You know, a few years ago, Michael Jackson, a record superstar with amazing global influence, endorsed Pepsi, and the endorsement fee was only 3 million US dollars. One can imagine how shocking Ronaldo's endorsement fee is.

"8 million US dollars, endorsing the Shenzhou digital cordless telephone for ten years!"
