After being nudged by Thies, Yi Zhe realized that if he could really have any industry in the future, he would have to seriously think about this guy's role. It seemed that if he won the World Footballer, he would really win... Yi Zhe could do it. Imagine how he sat down and raised the price when talking to the public about adding money.
However, Yi Zhe has no plans to develop the industry. After all, there are many different fields, and based on his observations while living abroad in these years, there is no field that can interest him. In those years, Dayao was able to spread the Yao restaurant brand overseas, but things are different now.
Yi Zhe temporarily put aside the idea of developing the industry, but the influence of his crowning as World Footballer soon became apparent, and an absolutely influential endorsement came to his door.
fifa.
Not FIFA, but the FIFA series of football games, a brand that has always been at odds with live football. They gave Yi Zhe US$12 million in endorsement fees. Not only did he become the cover character of FIFA 17, the new game in the series, but the production team also specially came to Madrid to ask Yi Zhe to provide a background commentary for the game.
Yi Zhe understands the value of this endorsement. The FIFA series of games definitely has global influence. It mainly takes the route of online games, and in recent years, commercial development is gradually surpassing live football. Apart from the public, this is the first truly globally influential endorsement I have received. However, the other party's sincerity really surprised him.
"I really didn't expect to receive your endorsement. I'm very honored. But don't regret such a high endorsement fee, hahaha!"
Yi Zhe used the break to complete the recording requested by the other party. When he thought that a large sum of money was about to arrive, he couldn't help but joke with the other party.
However, Fifa Marketing Director Hamlinger caught Yi Zhe's joke more cheerfully: "We have complete confidence that with Mr. Yi joining us, the new version will become the most successful masterpiece of this series. The chance of regret is still left to the live broadcast." Those football guys, hahaha!"
Everything is as expected. As soon as the new FIFA 17 game is launched, it has already exploded during the testing phase, especially in the Chinese market. The image of Yizhe with firm eyes, waving hands and roaring is very popular for online game players who love football games and fans who love online games. It was an irresistible temptation. When Yi Zhe was lying in the villa staring at the string of zeros on his bank card account, grinning happily, countless fans who had been playing live for twenty years switched to FIFA, and Yi Zhe, who was operating the computer, led China again and again. The team won the World Cup.
Of course, this is something that comes later, and it’s a follow-up that Yi Zhe doesn’t even know about.
Right now, Yi Zhe is dominated by the multi-front battle schedule during the season.
In the second round of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, Real Madrid and Sevilla fought a goal battle. In the end, Real Madrid drew 3:3 and advanced to the quarterfinals with a total score of 6:3.
Three days later, they met Sevilla again in the league, but this time Real Madrid almost overturned, relying on Yi Zhe's set kick to draw a thrilling 2:2 draw with their opponent before the end.
In the 19th round of the league, Real Madrid defeated Malaga 2:1 at home
In the twentieth round of the league, Real Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 3:0
In the twenty-first round of the league, Real Madrid defeated Osasuna 3:1 away from home.
However, in this round of the league, Zidane did not take Yi Zhe to the away game at all. The reason is very simple. Next week is the Champions League, facing Naples, and it is an away game.
In this situation, Yi Zhe needs to make a lot of preparations.
In fact, the media in Madrid and Naples had already taken action when they discovered that Zidane had arranged for Yi Zhe to rest during the next round of the league.
"Our players need protection!"
The headline of Marca's Champions League preview directly appealed. Nothing is more important than this.
Zidane thinks so too, and has even made preparations not to take Yi Zhe to the away game for the first round. This is the safest plan.
But Yi Zhe disagreed, and even if Florentino personally asked him, he said so.
"I have to play this game, sir, have you seen the news about Napoli? It's them who are challenging us now."
The Naples media had only one sentence on the front page of the Champions League preview: Warmly welcome Yi back to Naples!
No one knows what the welcome in Naples will be like.
"It is precisely because of this that we think this is the safest plan, Yi." Zidane looked at Yi Zhe, and the anxiety in his eyes showed that he was truly worried about his safety.
But Yi Zhe declined with a smile: "I believe in every teammate, but I'm afraid I have to go this time. Sir, I have never been a coward. As long as I stand on the court, it is the best for the arrogant Naples people." Strike!"
Florentino showed a helpless smile: "I knew it would be like this, hahaha! In this case, you must accept the special protection measures arranged for you by the club."
"Sir, what is it?"
Yi Zhe asked and nodded in agreement. In front of Lafayette, he knew that he had no right to refuse.
Florentino looked at Yi Zhe: "The club will arrange two professional bodyguards for you to be responsible for all safety issues during your game in Naples."
Yi Zhe had a bitter look on his face. He didn't expect that this was what he was talking about. If he had known that the club was also going to do this, he might as well have spoken to his sister!
Florentino frowned when he saw Yi Zhe's face: "This is the premise. If you refuse, we can only let you stay in Madrid! Your safety is related to the entire Real Madrid. The club will bear the responsibility for this time All the expenses of hiring a bodyguard.”
Yi Zhe shrugged helplessly, is this about money? Although the club's attention is heartwarming, is it true that going to Naples by yourself is going to kill someone?
The efficiency of the club is indeed very high. Two days before the team's departure, after the afternoon training, Florentino personally brought two bodyguards who were about 1.8 meters tall and well-proportioned to Yi Zhe.
"Yi, these are the bodyguards hired by the club for you. They will be responsible for your safety."
Yi Zhegang turned to stare at the two of them, and the two bodyguards immediately stood at attention and saluted him with a standard military salute.
"Mr. Yi, I am glad to serve you. I am Luna, a four-star bodyguard of mpri security company. I once served in the 2nd Paratrooper Brigade of the Spanish Foreign Legion. I am proficient in various types of firearms and eight types of fighting techniques, including Sambo. skills, be able to skillfully drive all types of transportation including but not limited to cars, be proficient in English, French, Spanish, and German, and be able to conduct daily conversations in Arabic, Japanese, and Italian.”
"Hello, Mr. Yi, I am Garin, a four-star bodyguard of MPR company. I once served in the 2nd Paratrooper Brigade of the Spanish Foreign Legion..."
Yi Zhe was stunned. The introduction of these two people was like opening up a whole new world to him.
At this time, he probably felt the same as someone who doesn't watch football listening to him talk about football - professional!
