money trouble

Chapter 483
Are Manchester United and Adidas happy?

In 2015, the first two years of cooperation were not bad, but now, it is not pleasant, for no other reason, but because of the poor performance of the team.

Just before, when Manchester United were eliminated from the Champions League, many of the club's sponsors decided to cut their sponsorship fees for the coming year, and Adidas was one of them, and it was the biggest cut...

Woodward has his own negotiating skills, he will not do things that are short of self-disclosure, even if this matter is well known, he will not take the initiative to talk about it.

Schlaughter really doesn't have the heart to play these negotiation skills with Woodward now, because as far as the current situation is concerned, the Nike Group is at a disadvantage in this matter.

"Mr. Woodward, I know you are a very loyal CEO. It is a professional virtue worth learning for me to work tirelessly for the club and the owner..."

Schlaughter had a no-nonsense tribute to Woodward.

Facing the sugar-coated cannonball, Woodward was very useful, with a flattering smile on his face, but he did not waver in his heart.

I'll take the benefits, let's put things aside and talk slowly...

"I believe that fans are used to seeing Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar da Silva wearing Nike brand jerseys and galloping on the green field. If they suddenly switch to Adidas, it will also be a kind of harm to the fans, no ?"

After Schlaughter praised, he finally turned to the key issue, which was the issue of sponsorship rights.

It's not inappropriate for Schlutter to use the star jersey as an example.

Loyal club fans in Europe will be very concerned about what brand of jersey the players are wearing. This is a kind of culture. Sometimes even if they suddenly change the jersey, they will rely on the jersey brand if they lose the game.

Woodward's hand holding the mineral water bottle froze in the air, and he couldn't understand what Schlaughter was saying.

"Ms. Schlaughter, please forgive me, I don't understand what you are talking about at all. What do the two players you mentioned have anything to do with Manchester United?"

Of course, Woodward in his sleep would not know that European football has been completely shaken. In just a few hours, two superstars have transferred to the club where he works.

After Woodward finished speaking, Schlaughter was silent, and now it was her turn to be confused.

How could she believe that Woodward, the CEO, would not know about such a big news, this is simply illogical!

"Oh, haha, Mr. Woodward, you are too humorous. You don't think that Nike Group will not receive news about such a big matter, do you? Don't be kidding."

In the last sentence, Schlaughter did not use a too formal tone, with a feminine tone, otherwise this sentence is not suitable for this occasion at all.

Woodward put down the mineral water bottle, and stroked the circle of hair on the top of his head with his hands. There were two italic and bold "question marks" in his eyes.

According to the normal logical reasoning of Schlaughter's words, it means that Ronaldo and Neymar can only wear Adidas jerseys because they transferred to Manchester United, so Nike Group wants to get back the club's sponsorship rights and let the two stars continue to wear Nike jerseys.

It's not that Woodward didn't want to understand, but he didn't dare to reason according to this logic at all, because it was illogical!

"Ho ho... Ms. Schlaughter, what you mean is that Ronaldo and Neymar moved to Manchester United?"

Woodward felt that his brain was not enough, he asked directly.

Schlaughter supported his forehead on the other end of the phone, and said with a smile, "Is that so...Hello?"

"Beep...beep..."

Before she finished speaking, the other party had already hung up the phone, very rude.

Woodward was so terrified that he pinched his arm in his apartment, thinking he was still asleep.

As a result, he groaned in pain.

"It's just a night's sleep. During the time for a night's sleep, the boss signed two superstars in a row, and I..."

"But I'm not in Carrington... I'm on the horse... I'm on the horse to make sure the news is true or not!"

Woodward turned on his laptop and quickly logged into his favorite sports news portal. He didn't even need to click on the Premier League sub-page to find it. The headlines on the front page were just updated news.

A huge picture, on the left is Ronaldo raising his foot to shoot the goal, and on the right is Neymar dribbling, the title is "The mysterious owner of Manchester United Club spends money like water, Ronaldo and Nei have joined Manchester United"!
Clicking in, he saw a familiar figure, accompanied by Guardiola and two bodyguards, walking in a place that looked like a training base.

"Here? It seems to be the Oredo training base..."

Woodward clasped both sides of the notebook with both hands, stood up with a huff, and shouted wildly: "Githers! It's true! This photo should be of me, I want to go back...I can't go...I'm Falk... ..."

The overly excited Woodward chose to take a bath to calm down, but during the process of taking a bath, the phone thrown on the pillow kept ringing.

Nike, Adidas, Puma, Ford Group, Toyota Group, Kohler, Aeroflot, Emirates, Canon, Chivas Regal, Gulf Oil, TAG Heuer, Montblanc, Unilever...

More than 20 large international companies are bombarding Woodward's phone calls.

After coming out of the bathroom, Woodward took a look at the vibrating phone and threw it aside. The first thing he did now was to contact his boss!

Wu Qian was enjoying an exquisite French lunch when he received the call from Woodward.

Woodward did not directly say that he wanted to return to Carrington from New York, but explained from the side that due to the joining of Ronaldo and Neymar, the sponsors are crazy, and he wants to make money for the club, how and what.

"Woodward, I can understand your feelings. This matter is very easy to handle. Hurry up and finish what you are doing now, and then you can go back to the club, right?"

"As for the sponsorship, you only need to sell the advertising space on the side of the plane for a good price, and don't agree to the rest. Let me remind you, the good show is still to come."

Rosalind helped Wu Qian turn on the hands-free phone and put it on the table. He was eating the delicious blue lobster with his hands full, which was just delivered to the hotel this morning.

The blue lobster is very rare, and the chance of catching it is only one in 200 million. Since the fifteenth century, the blue lobster has been sought after by the French nobles.

When fishermen in Brittany manage to catch blue lobsters, they send them straight to fine dining restaurants in Paris, where they can be sold at an extremely high price.

When Wu Qian returned to the hotel, he happened to meet the car transporting the lobster in the underground parking lot, and cut off the beard on the spot. The hotel owner didn't even have a chance to notify other VIP customers.
