Chapter 199 The first endorsement
After the match with Porto, it's Christmas.
Christmas's status in Europe is similar to that in China during the Spring Festival. It is very lively and grand. The club also has a week off.
However, for Gao Xiaodong, Christmas and New Year's Day are similar, and there is no festive flavor. When the Portuguese celebrated the New Year happily, he and Monkey not only participated in a local celebration in Rexos with Xiao Le, but also chatted online and played games on the forum.
Because the monkey organized a naval army to support Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong was happy and bought him a computer. From then on, the two lived in the same house, and the things were separated forever like participating in the business.
Christmas just passed, and on that day, Gao Xiaodong and Monkey had just returned from shopping with Xiao Le. Gao Xiaodong, the most powerful, had empty hands and knocked melon seeds, leisurely and contented. Xiao Le, the least powerful, carried a small bag and two clothes bags, jumping around, while the thin monkey carried it on his hands and shoulders, and was so tired that he was panting.
After walking around the street for a day, no one had the energy to cook. Xiao Le called the Chinese restaurant outside and ordered takeaway.
Just after dinner, Alexander, the fan leader of the Red Mafia, came with his son.
Alexander is just 7 years old this year and is already very strong.
"Call uncle quickly, this is your fat uncle, that's it."
Before Alexander could tell the monkey's name, little Alexander rushed to say, "I know, that's the skinny uncle."
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Yes, I'm so smart. That's the skinny uncle, that's your female uncle."
"It's not that it's an aunt, not an uncle," Little Alexander corrected.
"Yes, baby is so smart. Don't listen to your fat uncle's nonsense." Xiao Le quickly asked Alexander and his son to sit down and make tea and drink for them.
Maybe the fat man had a kind of affinity in the sky. Little Alexander did not sit next to his father, but sat next to Gao Xiaodong.
Alexander pointed to his son and said, "Gao, this is his son Sandy. You are his idol now. He is here to ask you for an autograph and take a photo today."
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "This is your fourth generation Rexos fans."
Alexander said proudly: "Yes, Sandy's son will be a player or a fan of Rexos in the future, even if we are relegated to Portugal's second division."
Gao Xiaodong and Monkey were both awe-inspiring and full of emotion. If Chinese fans had this loyalty and patience, even if the Football Association was a bastard, Chinese football would not have fallen to that level.
Little Alexander actually brought his own paper and pen. Gao Xiaodong signed his name seriously and wrote: Little Sandy will always be happy.
After taking a photo with Sandy, Alexander and his son, Alexander said a little embarrassedly: "That, Gao, can you advertise for my company? The economy in Portugal has not been very good recently, and my business is a bit sluggish."
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Alexander, when I rented your house, do you still remember what I said."
Alexander said embarrassedly: "Remember, I was blind and didn't promise you to advertise for me for free. I paid this time. How much do you say, I won't bargain."
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Alexander, I have no final say in this matter. I have an agent now. Mr. Mendes helps me manage all matters in Europe. For advertising, I need to go through Mendes."
Alexander smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Mendes handles big business with millions of dollars, and he will not pay attention to this small matter."
Gao Xiaodong said: "Since I have signed a contract with Mr. Mendes, I can't hide this from him and do it myself, even if the advertisement is inconspicuous."
When the monkey heard this, his eyes kept turning and suddenly said, "Xiaodong, Mr. Alexander is the fourth generation of Rexos. We rent his house again. We have to help you with whatever you say. Why don't you call Mr. Mendes and tell me the actual situation and let Mr. Mendes leave this matter to me, a rookie, to deal with it, wouldn't it be enough."
Alexander is not bad, and he takes great care of Gao Xiaodong in renting a house. Gao Xiaodong will definitely not help him with his busyness. However, when he was renting a house, Gao Xiaodong said he wanted to advertise him for free, but Alexander refused. This time Gao Xiaodong wanted to joke with him.
After the monkey said this, Gao Xiaodong said with the flow: "It's OK, I'll call Mr. Mendes to ask."
Gao Xiaodong called Mendes' private phone number and said, "Mr. Mendes's, Merry Christmas, I am Gao Xiaodong."
Mendes smiled and said, "It's Xiaodong, Merry Christmas."
Gao Xiaodong said: "That's right. A businessman wanted to do an advertisement and found my home directly."
Mendes was surprised and said, "What business is there like this?"
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "It is the company of Alexander, our most famous fan of Rexos. The house I live in now belongs to theirs, and it is a business of jerseys and souvenirs."
Alexander is still very famous in the football circle. Mendes had also heard of him. He frowned when he heard this. Everyone's business is too small. Qian'er's small contract with 800 euros really cannot catch his eye. However, Gao Xiaodong called himself, and it made Gao Xiaodong look embarrassed if he didn't answer.
Just as Mendes pondered, Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "The business is too small, right? Otherwise, there is an employee in your company here with me, or he will help you deal with this matter."
Mendes remembered that Gao Xiaodong's friend was also in his company. After hearing Gao Xiaodong said this, Mendes immediately understood the thinking of the Orientals. He did not intend to ask Alexander for advertising endorsement fees. He smiled and said, "Monkey, okay, let him talk to Alexander about this matter and let him call me."
"Okay." Gao Xiaodong gave his Apple phone directly to the monkey, "You talk to Mr. Mendes."
The monkey took the phone and asked Mendes. Mendes explained a few words to him, and finally told him that Alexander and Gao Xiaodong had a very unusual relationship, and it would be better to just exert the endorsement fee a little more symbolic.
The monkey knew it, said goodbye to Mendes, and then said to Alexander: "Mr. Alexander, Mr. Mendes just now, I have given me full responsibility for this matter. Mr. Alexander, let's see what kind of publicity you want to adopt."
Alexander Avenue: "I want to ask Gao Xiaodong to shoot a short advertising video that costs dozens of seconds, just say an advertising slogan, support football, please buy "Alex" souvenirs."
The monkey smiled and said, "Xiaodong, what do you think?"
Gao Xiaodong said: "It doesn't matter. I don't understand this. If you can't take a photo, don't ask me for a account."
Alexander slapped his chest, "How could this be? With your popularity, I dare not say it in Portugal. In the Porto region football circle, there must be many fans who support it."
The monkey smiled and said, "At least in the Portuguese Chinese circle and Rexos fan circle, the three words Gao Xiaodong are well-known, and no one will not support it."
Alexander Avenue: "Mr. Hou, how much does this endorsement fee cost?"
The monkey smiled and said, "Just 100 euros is enough. You are Xiaodong's landlord and take good care of him. How can you charge more money?"
Alexander hurriedly said, "How can that work? It's better to follow the market. I can't make a profit."
The monkey glanced at Gao Xiaodong and said, "Xiaodong, what do you think?"
Gao Xiaodong said: "What should I do? I think it's more than one hundred euros, and one euro is almost the same."
Alexander said firmly: "That's absolutely not possible, it must be done according to the market."
The monkey thought for a while and said, "How about this, Mr. Alexander, I have a friend who is in the clothing business in China, which is not very good. He wants to sell jerseys and souvenirs. Can you authorize him to sell them on behalf of others?"
Alexander thought for a while and said, "This, I heard that counterfeit goods are prevalent in your country, and I am afraid that it will affect the reputation of the club."
The monkey said, "No, my friend has a good character. It is because he doesn't sell fakes and can't continue business. Well, Xiaodong knows him, and he is also considered Xiaodong's friend."
When Alexander heard this, he said, "That's good, but it's best if Xiaodong can also earn a share, so I can rest assured. After all, the three major Portuguese families are also influential in the world football world."
When the monkey heard this, he laughed secretly and said, "Xiaodong, what do you think?"
The fat man pretended to be hesitant and said, "I don't have time to do this."
The monkey said, "You just pay for money and invest in a business, and don't want you to manage it."
Alexander Avenue: "That's right, you'll be able to buy a stock, otherwise I won't trust them."
Gao Xiaodong said: "Okay, Alexander, that person is also my friend and his relationship is pretty good, but if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been involved in this deal."
Alexander was overjoyed and said, "Okay, I'll feel relieved if you invest. Your friend said when will it be done? I'll get the authorized agency sales for him."
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Okay, please discuss this with the monkey."
Alexander Avenue: "Okay."
Alexander and the monkey went out to discuss the authorized sales, and Gao Xiaodong taught Sandy to play games in the room.
