Because the relationship between the UAE and Qatar is not harmonious, and it is not convenient for Mansour to come to Qatar as a senior member of the UAE royal family, he sent a secretary. Ambassador Zhang said that because you did not know each other before and were concerned about the rules that you should not contact players privately before the transfer, you made a roundabout request for a meeting through the Chinese Embassy in the UAE.

When I received the call from the UAE Embassy, ​​Wang Ai was already on the plane, so it was too late to discuss with Wang Ai, but he expected that this kind of contact would not be rejected by Wang Ai, so he agreed to it.

So the two parties had a brief talk in the meeting room of the Chinese Embassy in Qatar. After asking, they realized that Mansul Fei had sent his secretary so vigorously that he actually asked Wang Ai for his phone number...

The first contact between the two parties was indeed unable to discuss in depth, so the meeting simply lasted for half an hour.

"He was going to give you jewelry, but I refused for you." Ambassador Zhang smiled with Wang Ai after the other party left, "You won't blame me, do you?"

"Is there anything else?" Wang Ai shook his head and smiled: "You are good at rejecting it. I have to reject it if you really propose it today, and I will be unhappy."

"Why?" Ambassador Zhang said with interest.

"You test me?" Wang Ai hehehe said, "First, I am not bad for this money. I am not a normal player who can pay for it. I look down on me by giving the money. Second, my current status does not allow me to take it casually. People and things, if it’s a souvenir for ordinary fans, the more money I have, the more I can’t take it casually. Don’t take the short hand? What if I don’t want to do something I don’t want to do in the future?"

"Status? A superstar?" Ambassador Zhang curiously asked, "I always hear people say this, how does this thing look like?"

“Simply put, it takes competitive value as the bone and commercial value as the meat to form such a high-value brand attached to natural persons.” Wang Aisi said: “Its main feature is its very high bargaining power, just like today’s This kind of meeting, if I am an average star, and what people say is the representative of the boss, then I must be polite. What if I eat other people’s food in the future?"

Speaking of this, Wang Ai glanced at Ambassador Zhang and smiled: “Of course, on this occasion, my identity is mainly a well-known athlete in China. The other party is a member of the foreign royal family. In a sense, I represent the country and People, don’t allow me to be inferior."

Ambassador Zhang smiled: "Can you tell me more about the super-giant thing? I think this is very valuable for research."

"What?" Wang Ai said blankly.

"Are you a famous volunteer of our diplomatic mission? When we use you, we must consider your identity. If your status changes, we will also adjust accordingly to avoid wasting resources." Ambassador Zhang whispered: "This The influence of the five major leagues in the past two years has been expanding. Our department is also paying attention to the phenomenon of the superstar era. Fortunately, we have one and are willing to support our work. So some experts have already studied it, but you should say it yourself. Some are more accurate. After all, there are only three in the world. Some things may only be known to you."

"Is that so?" Wang Ai nodded: "But I have to retire for ten or eight years. I don't know when the next one will be. Research is useless, right?"

"Don't you help us after you retire?"

"How come?" Wang Ai shook his head: "The country needs me, no matter when I have to say, but after retiring, there will be no such influence."

"Don't be humble, there are no outsiders today." Ambassador Zhang chuckled: "At least one thing we confirm, even if you retired, your influence will be unmatched. What is Maradona's example."

Wang Ai laughed: "Well, um... economic globalization, advanced television broadcasting, and the prosperous Internet, the communication ability has been improved by an order of magnitude, which has brought about the expansion of the economic territory. In this process, the players will The levels are gradually separated. The main players are ordinary players, and those who often have amazing performances on the court are regarded as stars. The top 10 in the world at the same position are almost even superstars. There are too many main players in general, so the commercial value is average. Usually the right of collective portraits is mainly used. Only in the city where they were born or where they worked can have certain commercial value, and there are very few others. The star impresses the public deeply, so they can receive endorsements from some small brands or some big brands. A low-level spokesperson for a superstar. If you are a superstar, you can receive top endorsements from some medium-sized brands, and personal portrait rights are very valuable. As for the super giant... Anyway, if the difference in competitive value is 1, then the commercial value will be enlarged To 10, or even more. Although Chaoju is not a winner, it also has this trend."

Ambassador Zhang listened intently, and then asked: "Chaoju is able to receive top endorsements? Is it? Sign endorsement contracts with top companies in every industry?"

"Yes, a strong alliance." Wang Ai nodded: "Brands choose people and people also choose brands. In fact, superstars start to choose. Unlike stars who are hungry and don't choose food, super giants are even more powerful. For example, me, because of me. If it is the top player in the football business, then I can only cooperate with top-tier companies. This is a face problem. Once you cooperate with second-tier companies, your style will be low in the eyes of the public, and the color of superstars will fade. "

"This is indeed a bit like consumer recognition of the brand. What about the club? I think the representative of Manchester City was very polite to you just now, but it's not like ordinary bosses to workers."

Wang Ai smiled and pointed to his chest: "As the saying goes, the store bullies the customers, but we all know that even the customers can bully the shop. The relationship between Manchester City and I is now that I am big and Manchester City is small."

"Oh?" Ambassador Zhang became more interested: "Then you can be the host of Manchester City after you go to Manchester City?"

"It depends on how to talk. There are hundreds of teams like Manchester City in the five major leagues, and there are only three stars like me. Not to mention Manchester City, Bayern can't do it. I have not joined the World Footballer for 20 years. "When it came to this, Wang Ai shrugged: "Anyway, if he wants me to go, he can't just give more money."

"It's like you are cooperating with a commercial brand, and you have to maintain a face?"

"It's one aspect." Wang Ai nodded: "But the more important thing is that the foundation of the super giant is competitive value. Without competitive value, the commercial value will collapse. Therefore, it is necessary to have a certain level of performance to consider whether to go or not, including There must be a group of strong teammates, there must be a capable head coach who can unite the team, and the salary is final."

"I heard that there is still an issue of portrait rights?"
