Super Marshal

For Jorge Mendes, anyone who has had contact with him will appreciate it.

Although the Portuguese agent is very shrewd, he is not the kind of guy who is too shrewd and easy to offend.

On the contrary, his shrewdness is that he is very smooth and knows how to coordinate the interests of all parties, which makes him very popular in the football circle of the entire Iberian Peninsula.

In the past, he was limited by his own influence, coupled with the shadow of Jose Vega, which made him unsatisfactory in the football circle, especially outside of Portuguese football.

But now, with the help of Alpine and Atletico Madrid's status and influence, his business has developed by leaps and bounds. Not only has he gained a firm foothold in Spain, but he has also developed his business to South America, and even established a presence in Eastern Europe. own network and channels.

As the company rapidly expanded, Mendez's ability has brought him huge benefits.

Gao Han is quite satisfied with his agent.

The rise of Mendes is of course the driving force behind him, but why didn't Gao Han benefit?

And now Mendes vaguely regards Gao Han as the business card of the company, which also benefits Gao Han a lot.

Therefore, when Mendes called this morning and said that he had good news to tell him, Gao Han was very curious.

"What good news? Tell me!" Paul Futre looked more anxious than Gao Han.

I really didn't see it, this guy is quite gossipy.

Mendes pointed to Paul Futre, shook his head helplessly, and looked at Gao Han again.

"Ever thought about changing cars?"

"Change the car?" Paul Futre was taken aback. What kind of good news is this?

But Gao Han's eyes suddenly brightened. The last time I was asked to grow a beard, it was to cooperate with Braun's sponsorship. Today, I was asked to change the car...

"Could it be..."

Mendes nodded with a smile, "Recently, a car company has been in contact with me, and it's quite sincere."

"Which one?"

"Porsche."

"Porsche?" Paul Futre lost his voice.

This is a world-renowned luxury car brand, specializing in the production of sports cars, and the price of one is quite high.

Could it be that they want Gao Han to endorse their super sports car?

Thinking of this, the technical director is so depressed.

It's true that people are dead compared to others, and goods are thrown away when compared with goods.

The same is driving, I drive a Seat, and I have to pay for it myself, but Gao Han is lucky, I drive a luxury car. Before, it was a free BMW X5 given by the club, but now it is actively sponsored by Porsche. Money, but also sponsorship fees.

What kind of world is this?

Why didn't I have such a benefit when I was playing football?

"Porsche's situation doesn't seem to be very good. Doesn't it mean that it is already heavily in debt?" Gao Han frowned.

He is also a person who cherishes feathers very much. Although he is not opposed to commercial sponsorships, he does not want to sign a sponsorship himself. As a result, scandals such as the bankruptcy of the sponsors did not take long.

"It's true that Porsche has been in a bad place in recent years, but that's why they decided to make a big deal out of it and plan to launch a new luxury SUV, which will debut at this month's Geneva Motor Show."

Gao Han understood, "They want me to be the spokesperson for this SUV?"

"Yes, they used to make sports cars, but they suddenly made SUVs, giving people a very subversive feeling, and they are mainly aimed at young people, so they think you are very suitable for the positioning of their models."

After Gao Han heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "I guess they still value the Chinese market?"

Mendes also nodded with a slight smile, without denying it.

In recent years, the Chinese market has been developing more and more rapidly, which is very attractive to luxury brands such as Porsche. The rising star of the rise, Gao Han's attraction to them can be seen.

"As far as I know, Porsche has high hopes for this model, and even carries all the hopes of the company's revival. Because of this, they will promote this model all over the world, and they have chosen you, It’s also good for us as the global ambassador for this model.”

Cooperating with big-name sponsors not only obtains sponsorship fee income, but also a lot of potential commercial benefits.

For example, Gao Han, cooperating with a luxury brand like Porsche is an improvement in his commercial value. As Porsche promotes their models around the world, Gao Han, as a spokesperson, naturally spreads his influence.

The more attention Porsche attaches to this model, the greater the promotion, the more obvious the benefits of the alpine.

Therefore, after listening to Mendes' analysis, Gao Han also nodded, feeling good.

"I've talked to people from Porsche a few times. In addition to providing free limited-edition models with the highest configuration and a value of about 200,000 euros, Porsche will be responsible for all maintenance and maintenance costs during the contract period. In addition, their annual sponsorship fee has reached three million euros."

Three million euros per year, which is the current sponsorship price of Alpine.

Although, if Mendes let go and the price drops, it is estimated that he can sign a few more contracts, but the shrewd Portuguese thinks it is unnecessary, because maintaining a certain high price is itself to maintain the brand.

What's more, with Atletico Madrid's performance getting better and better, there is no shortage of sponsors in today's Alpine.

Nowadays, three million is already the quotation for some first-tier brands. If it is a second-tier brand, Mendes' quotation is basically around five million euros.

No way, who made Gao Han popular now?

Paul Futre, who was on the side, was stunned. He followed Gao Han all the way, and also witnessed Gao Han's commercial value being dug out bit by bit by Mendez, and he was overwhelmed with admiration.

It can be said that the means of this Portuguese compatriot are many times better than those in the commercial department of Atletico Madrid.

With a sponsorship fee of five million euros, it can even catch up with European superstars.

However, listening to Mendes' tone, it seems that there are indeed several sponsors on hand who are interested in Gao Han, but they are still in contact and negotiating with Mendes. The Portuguese have quite high requirements for sponsors.

After Gao Han nodded in agreement with Porsche's sponsorship, the topic quickly changed.

"By the way, Jorge, I heard that the new Porto coach is from Jose Vega, you have to be careful."

Paul Futre has a very close relationship with Porto. When Mendes wanted to break into Porto, he was the one who made the bridge.

"Well, Jose Mourinho." Mendes nodded with a smile, then looked at Gao Han, "It's still your old colleague in Barcelona."

Gao Han nodded, of course he was no stranger to this person.

Jose Mourinho was Van Gaal's right-hand man back then. He is proficient in multiple languages ​​and is very good. He also has some unique features in football tactics, but his personality is very arrogant.

However, when Gao Han entered Barcelona, ​​although he was still in the first team, he was no longer liked by Van Gaal. It is said that he was poached in 1999 and almost left Barcelona. He was dissatisfied with his behavior, and he had repeatedly sang against Van Gaal in public, which angered the Dutch coach.

"I'm not familiar with him, and I haven't had much contact with him." Gao Han shook his head and said.

When he was in Barcelona, ​​he was just an unknown intern, but Mourinho was an assistant coach of the core coaching staff. He was arrogant and didn't take anyone seriously. How could he have contact with Gao Han?

"However, I do know that Jose Vega was already Mourinho's agent a few years ago. The reason why he was able to stay in Barcelona after Robson left was that Jose Vega It is also indispensable.”

In those years, Jose Vega had a pivotal influence in Barcelona, ​​and recommending an assistant coach was nothing more than a piece of cake.

Of course, this kind of inside story can only be gossip, except for the parties involved, who can know the details?

However, the head coach under Jose Vega took over Porto, which is somewhat interesting.

But Mendes didn't seem to care at all.

"Don't worry, six of the eleven players in Porto's starting lineup are my players. Da Costa was still in touch with me before, planning to introduce my players again this summer, so even if Jose Vi I'm not afraid of him even if he becomes the head coach of Porto himself."

At the end, Mendes laughed straight, looking as if he was winning.

Gao Han and Paul Futre looked at each other, and both smiled in unison.

Today's Mendes is no longer the Mendes who first came to Madrid. Now he is the most famous figure in the football circle of the Iberian Peninsula.

Moreover, as an agent, as long as he has high-quality star resources, he doesn't need to worry about who will be the head coach.

Even to some extent, even the club has to give up three points.

The reason why Porto's Da Costa doesn't like Jose Vega is because the latter started to get carried away after mastering Portugal's high-quality players back then?

When Jose Vega was high-spirited back then, he offended many people in the Portuguese football circle because of his complacency. Now that he has declined, he wants to restore it. I am afraid it will not be so easy.

Of course, if Mendes committed suicide by himself, then there are two things to say.

But no matter how you look at it, this shrewd and cunning Portuguese agent doesn't look like the kind of idiot who would give his opponent a chance.

However, as this topic was discussed, Paul Futre revealed a secret inadvertently.

It turned out that before Gao Han took over Atletico Madrid's first team, Jose Vega ran to the Calderon Stadium and recommended Mourinho to the Atletico Madrid management.

Even later, after Gao Han took over the first team and successfully led the team to upgrade, Jose Vega came to operate several times, and used Gao Han's resume in Barcelona's internship stage many times to increase Mourinho's weight.

However, at that time, the management always chose between Gao Han and Aragones, and did not consider other candidates at all.

Looking back now, Paul Futre also has to lament his wisdom at the beginning.

If Gao Han hadn't been chosen at the time and had changed to someone else, not to mention Mourinho, even the famous coach Aragones, I am afraid it would be difficult to achieve Gao Han's achievements today.

But after Gao Han heard this, he couldn't help feeling even more disgusted with Jose Vega.

As for the arrogant Mourinho, the impression is not much better.
