Chapter 37 Salary Increases and Commercial Endorsements
"It's the Ito sushi restaurant in front. The taste is very good. I used to work here."

Linger brought Yui Aragaki to the Ito Sushi restaurant where he used to work. This store is located in a small alley, and the flow of people is not too large, so he is not afraid of being seen.

"Manager Ito, long time no see." Ringer shouted to the manager at the front desk as soon as he entered the door.

Ito was burying himself in calculating the accounts, when he heard this somewhat familiar voice, he quickly remembered that it was the kid who used to work here. A few days ago, a reporter came to interview him, and it was only then that Ito knew that the other party had become a young man. Famous star.

"Lin Jun, didn't you go to Chofu to play football? Why come back when you have time?"

"I came back today and had something to do nearby. I haven't eaten for a long time, so I came here by the way. I miss the sushi in the store very much." Linge explained briefly, and introduced: "This is my friend, and I just brought it over to taste Let me try your delicious sushi."

Yui Aragaki was wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, looking like he didn't want to be recognized by others, and Ito didn't think much about it, and quickly arranged a seat by the window for them.

"You seem to be very famous recently. I don't see many sports programs reporting news about you. It says that you are a Chinese student studying at the University of Tokyo. Is it true? That's really amazing. As a foreigner, you should be admitted to the University of Tokyo." Is it more difficult?" As soon as the two sat down, Yui Aragaki asked curiously, she entered the entertainment industry after graduating from high school, and never went to college, so she felt that the East University exam was difficult.

"Actually, it's not more difficult, and I also watched "Dragon Cherry" in which you starred, which is why I decided to pass the entrance exam to Dongda University."

People all over the world talk about vanity to save face, and vanity is even more important in East Asian areas influenced by Confucian culture, so Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, etc. like to talk about vanity.

Chinese people have always been the largest consumers of luxury goods in the world, as if those expensive items can really improve their status; Koreans try their best to bribe referees to get "good grades" when they meet international competitions, and regard these "good grades" as Their medals; the Japanese must play when they see what is popular all over the world. They want to be in line with the world. Football is the number one sport in the world, so they have spent a lot of effort to improve football. A few years ago, they saw tennis as the second sport in the world. It was very popular, and the so-called "Tennis 45 Plan" was formulated, and finally Kei Nishikori, the fourth in the world, was cultivated.

The vanity of the Japanese also extends to overseas education. It is a bit strange that foreigners are more likely than Japanese to be admitted to Todai University, the number one university in Japan.It's all about vanity, but have you ever heard that famous schools like Harvard and Cambridge don't take care of their own people, but take care of foreigners?In fact, I just want to show the highest institution of higher education in Japan to outsiders, and let others know about this world-renowned institution in Asia.

These were also learned after Ringer came to Japan.

As for what Linge said about being admitted to Dongda University because of watching "Dragon Cherry", it is completely polite. "Dragon Sakura" is Yui Aragaki's first famous film and television drama. It tells the inspirational story of a strange teacher leading a group of problematic students to be admitted to Tokyo University, the most difficult exam in Japan, and Yui Aragaki starred in it. One of the problem students, basically a supporting role.

However, the TV series "Dragon Cherry" is indeed not bad, and it is one of the few Japanese film and television dramas that can be exported to the outside world in recent years.Of course, except for Ivy's action movies, that thing has a long history and cannot be compared at all.

Speaking of which, there are still many lines in "Dragon Cherry" that Ringer remembers.

Since the full score is a test with 100 points, anything other than 100 points is rubbish.

Sure enough, for a girl like me who is not beautiful enough and not smart enough, the only way out of life is to work hard to get into the University of Tokyo.

The last sentence is the line of Yui Aragaki's role in it. She plays a dark-skinned little girl student in it, which is also one of her rare ugly roles.

"You mean you used to work at this sushi restaurant?"

"Well, if I don't go back to China during the holidays, I will come here to work."

The two were talking, and Ito came up with the sushi himself. Hearing these two sentences, he said, "Yes, Mr. Lin used to come to the store to help. For a while, I was still persuading him to be serious. Students, don’t spend too much time playing football~~~”

※※※

In the afternoon, Ringer returned to Chofu to prepare for the weekend league with the team.

"Is today's show okay?" In the apartment, Thomas Croat was talking to Ringer.

"It's okay, although it's a very boring program, but I still finish it seriously." Ringer said: "By the way, Thomas, how is the salary discussion going?"

"The salary increase is certain, but it will not be too high, no more than 1000 million yen. This is the highest salary you can get at present."

Ringer knows that the salary of the J-League has approximate standards. The youth training echelon players generally do not exceed 500 million yen, and the young players who can occupy a place in the first team are about 500 million to 1000 million yen.Previously, Ringer's contract was given according to the standards of the youth training echelon, and it was the bottom one in the youth training echelon, 180 million yen. Now it has risen to 1000 million yen, which is the limit.

1000 million yen, converted into RMB about 60, is still in a state of being exploited, and it is not comparable to the Chinese Super League.In the Chinese Super League, young talents like Zhang Xizhe can get 300 million yuan, national players can earn 500 million yuan, capable foreign players start with 1000 million RMB, and Evergrande’s foreign players are said to be able to earn 3000 million yuan.

"What about the contract period and liquidated damages?"

"The club intends to extend the contract until 2017, and the liquidated damages are still being negotiated. They want a relatively safe liquidated damages of 5 million yen."

Linger thought for a while, he didn't care much about the contract period, he cared more about the liquidated damages, as long as someone is willing to pay the liquidated damages to forcefully dig, even a lifetime contract is useless. 5 million yen, about 3000 million RMB, less than 400 million euros. Ringer's current plan is to leave after playing in Tokyo FC this season. He believes in his performance, and someone will definitely be willing to pay the liquidated damages.

The contract matter was almost the same, and Crott said again: "By the way, Umbro's Asian branch contacted me yesterday. They are very interested in your sneaker sponsorship."

"Umbro?"

Umbro is a British sports brand, and it has been brilliant in the early years. Brazil won three consecutive World Cups and wore Umbro jerseys. In the 1966 World Cup, 08 of the top [-] teams wore Umbro jerseys. .But now Umbro seems to be in decline, and was acquired by Nike in [-].At present, Umbro's most famous team sponsorship should be the England national team, but it seems that it is about to lose this piece of fat, and only Chelsea captain John Terry is slightly famous for player sponsorship.

Speaking of which, it is Umbro's parent company Nike that wants to poach the England national team. It is said that the negotiation has reached a critical stage. The British tabloids are swearing that once Nike poachs the England national team, Umbro will lose its use. Value, will be sold quickly.

Umbro is currently also the jersey sponsor of Tokyo FC. Ringer knows that this is the reason why Umbro noticed him. After all, it is on his own territory. However, Ringer does not want to sign the sneaker contract to a brand that is sunset.

Before Ringer could express his thoughts, Crott said: "Lin, I don't recommend you to sign the sneakers right away. You are in a period of rapid rise, and your reputation has not yet fully spread. In a few months, maybe Adinike will come here."

"Well, that's exactly what I mean, but Thomas, I negotiated a commercial endorsement in the city today, and you need to prepare."

Ringer saw that Crott's face darkened obviously. The player had negotiated a commercial endorsement, but the agent didn't know it. Of course Crott would be black-faced. Ringer said quickly: "Okay, don't be angry, it's just a Friendship endorsement, I used to work in a sushi restaurant, I took two photos with the manager, you prepare a contract, allowing him to use my photos to promote in the store."

Crott breathed a sigh of relief: "Please give me your contact information. Although it is a friendship endorsement, I think the contract still needs to be clarified, otherwise you will really become a big star in the future, and there may be many problems involved."

After seeing off Clotte, Ringer was in a good mood.Today on TV Tokyo, I met a big star who could only watch from a distance in his previous life, and he successfully got a phone call. When he came back, he knew that there was a sports brand who wanted to sponsor him, which showed that his ability was beginning to be recognized.
