All the senior executives present were stunned.

They anticipated all kinds of conditions that Gu Ran might propose, including giving them benefits like a main player, or giving them a car, or further increasing the share of the business, or even replacing Rick with two beautiful personal assistants...

But they never expected that Gu Ran proposed a condition that left them confused.

Live streaming?

And it’s a live broadcast on a mobile phone APP?

What kind of condition is this?

Isn’t the current market in this area too small?

It’s almost equivalent to nothing!

Nowadays, everyone is watching the live broadcast in person or on TV.

Even if you are an internet addict, you would rather watch live broadcasts on a networked computer. Who would watch live broadcasts on a small screen of a mobile phone app that gets hot and freezes after a while? Moreover, from the perspective of commercial contracts, there is no clause regarding the copyright of mobile phone live broadcasts.

Business Director Philip Butz cleared his throat and said, "Gu, as far as I know, live streaming is very unstable right now, and the data charges are extremely high. People would definitely prefer to come to the event or watch the live broadcast on TV."

Gu Ran did not argue. "Maybe, but who knows what will happen in the future? These friends of mine have never done this before, so they are basically just doing it for fun. But since they found me, it is difficult for me to refuse. They just want a mobile phone network copyright authorization. Of course, if there is any profit, they will definitely pay a share of the mobile phone network copyright."

Several senior executives looked at each other.

Can this kind of small-scale hobby make money in the Chinese market? Gu is just a football player and doesn't know how to invest! Marketing Director Woodhouse Ingram was the first to express his opinion, "I think there is no problem with this. The Chinese market is very large. We can use this APP to increase our popularity and influence among Chinese fans - this is definitely a win-win situation for us."

Business Director Philip Butz also nodded and said, "That's right, there is no cost. Although I don't think it's possible to make money, but... Southampton Football Club will not lose money, right? If we can really make money, it will be like picking it up for free, so I agree."

CEO Mark Fry pondered for a moment and said, "Mobile Internet copyright, this is really new. But I think it should still be classified as large Internet copyright. Since it is Internet copyright, it not only requires authorization from our Southampton Club, but also the consent of the business directors of the English Football Association and the English Football Association. Of course, they should not block us from such trivial copyrights. As long as your friends can pay the one-year Internet live broadcast fee of the English Football Association and the English Football Association in one lump sum, it will be fine. If we really can't handle it, we still have Old Rice. With Old Rice's help, there will be no problem. This is much simpler than a work permit."

Gu Ran asked, "How much is the buyout fee for the copyright of the big network for one year?"

Mark Frye said: "If it is just for the live broadcast of your games in Southampton, then I don't think it will be very high. The two companies combined will not exceed 1 million pounds at most. As for our Southampton club, we only want 20% of the net profit, and we don't want a penny of the rest."

Other senior executives also nodded.

Gu Ran's eyebrows moved slightly! One million pounds a year to buy out the copyright of a large network - this is actually very little compared to the tens of millions of TV broadcast fees!

However, for an APP startup, 1 million pounds a year is equivalent to 10 million in China! In the early days of APP live broadcast, it would be very difficult for an unpopular football APP to earn back the 10 million capital.

Gu Ran then said, "One million pounds is indeed a bit high, and I also plan to invest in their APP."

Mark Frye naturally understood what Gu Ran meant.

Mark Fry smiled and said, "1 million pounds is just my estimate. There is actually a lot of room for maneuver. After all, you are just using a mobile phone app, and you are not broadcasting all the League One matches live. Let old Rice come forward and change the buyout of League One and the English Football Association to 10% of your net profit, and we will take the other 10%. You can also pay a one-time public relations fee of 100,000 pounds, and this matter can basically be settled."

The PR fee of £100,000 is simply...

Of course, if old Rice hadn’t stepped in, the 100,000 pounds in public relations fees would not have been paid out!

100,000 pounds plus a 20% share of the net profit is enough to get the online copyright of "Southampton Club related matches" in China, which is suitable no matter how you calculate it!

Gu Ran immediately said, "Okay! Just do as Mr. Frye says!"

Old Rice frowned slightly and asked in disbelief: "Gu... is this all you want? I mean, isn't this too simple?"

For old Rice, this kind of thing was really too simple, so simple that he felt embarrassed.

Gu Ran smiled and said, "I am very satisfied with the club. I have never thought of asking Southampton for a high price just because a Premier League club has offered me a price. I only mentioned the online copyright authorization because my brothers in China found me."

Old Rice held Gu Ran's hand with admiration on his face, "Gu, you are such a professional player! It would be great if every professional player in Southampton could be like you! Don't worry, I will personally handle the mobile app copyright issue for you! I will also let the legal department write the treaty we discussed into the contract! Yes, why not? The Chinese market has huge potential, but there are few Chinese players. Do you know how rare and precious it is to have a good Chinese player in the UK? Just like Woodhouse said, we can take the opportunity to expand the Chinese market! This is not a condition you put forward to us, but a benefit for us!"

Old Rice is still very good at talking.

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Thank you for saying that, Mr. Rice. Then I have no other questions. I fully agree to the club's upgraded contract. I can't wait to hand over the beginning of my career to the Saints. I can't wait to prove my worth to all the bosses."

"Good! Well said!"

"Fuck it, I'm on fire!"

"I'm really looking forward to your debut!"

"I can already predict that tomorrow's open training session will be very exciting! I will definitely bring my family to watch it!"

All the senior executives present applauded excitedly!

Gu Ran quickly stood up and thanked him repeatedly.

——Increasing the minimum termination fee is actually no big deal for Gu Ran.

Since it has already been decided to start with Southampton, the offers from both Liverpool and Manchester City have become less attractive.

With his current strength and fame, even if he really goes to Liverpool and Manchester City, it will be difficult to get a chance to play in the first team.

At Southampton, as long as the performance is impressive enough, he can gain a starting position within half a season and increase his chances of playing in actual games, which is still very good for his growth.

First, lay a solid foundation in English Football League One. Then, why worry that the big clubs won't line up to poach him? What about 5 million, 8 million... this is just the beginning? ? ?

Maybe, I can really wear a bathrobe and wait for Linda and Sister NO to come and give me warmth...

——Gu Ran tried hard to calm his excited emotions.

Old Rice rubbed his hands happily, "Great, Gu, we will arrange for the legal department to modify the contract immediately! Rick, you can take Gu to the physical examination center now. After the physical examination is passed, our new contract will be ready. You can bring Gu back to sign the new contract."

Rick immediately said, "Okay, Mr. Rice. Gu, let's go."

Gu Ran then said goodbye to the executives in the room, "Thank you everyone, I will go for the physical examination first."

"Okay, Gu!"

“I wish you all the best!”

"Come on Gu! We are all very optimistic about you!"

"I look forward to your performance in the open training session tomorrow!"

After Gu Ran shook hands with the senior executives one by one, he followed Rick out of the senior executives' office and took the elevator to the physical examination center.

In the elevator, Rick exclaimed: "Gu, I have to say, really, I have to say, you are so stable! I have been the personal assistant of the main players for many years, and I have seen all kinds of players. You are the most stable one I have ever seen! Just for your stability, you will become a big star in the future!"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Thank you, Rick. After all, I am a grassroots rookie and don't know much about the rules of professional clubs. I hope you can take care of me in the future."

Rick was able to defeat two beautiful personal assistants, so his ability is definitely unquestionable.

As for the idea of ​​replacing Rick with a beautiful personal assistant, it was just a complaint in his heart. As a person who only wants to play football, Gu Ran certainly prefers a capable assistant in his career.

Rick said excitedly: "Gu, you are so polite! This is the first time I have met such a polite player like you! You are indeed worthy of being a Chinese! Don't worry, from now on you are my king, and I am your personal servant who will be at your beck and call at any time!"

Holy shit…

This profession is called eunuch in China...

Gu Ran cleared his throat and said, "...Okay, Rick."

bite.

The elevator door opened and we arrived at the physical examination hall.

Rick rushed out of the elevator like a hound, tapped his heels, and opened his mouth to announce that Gu Ran had arrived.

Gu Ran quickly grabbed Rick and said, "No, no, no, keep a low profile. Keep a low profile."

"Yes!" Rick shut up helplessly.

"Hi Gu!"

Mav and Gregory, who had been waiting outside the physical examination hall, came over to greet them.

"Wow, Gu, you look so handsome in this suit!"

Gu Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This suit is... Never mind, let's hurry up and get the physical examination."

"Okay, follow me." Mai Fu led the way.

Gu Ran had been to the physical examination hall before, and there were only four doctors on duty at that time. Today is the first day back from the holiday, and both the first-team and reserve-team players have to come to the physical examination center to complete the physical examination after their return, so more than a dozen doctors are present at the physical examination center today.

In addition, two players who have returned are undergoing physical examinations in the physical examination room.

As soon as Gu Ran arrived, all the doctors immediately put down their work and ran out to surround Gu Ran.

Some of them took out paper and pen and asked Gu Ran for his autograph.

Some took out their cell phones to take photos with Gu Ran.

The situation almost got out of control!

"What are you doing? Get back to work!"

The chief team doctor, Dr. Pal Jensen, who had a full white beard, frowned and roared, taking control of the situation.

The doctors could only leave in disappointment.

This is the time when Mave and Gregory are most proud.

Although they always have to work overtime, as Gu Ran's exclusive team doctor and exclusive physical therapist, they naturally have the right to be with Gu Ran when he has a physical examination.

After Dr. Jensen dismissed the other doctors, he walked up to Gu Ran with a smile and said enthusiastically, "Hi, Gu! Long time no see! You look in good health!"

Gu Ran shook hands with Dr. Jensen, "Hello Dr. Jensen, as you can see, I'm here for a physical examination."

"Of course!" Dr. Jensen said with a smile, "For such an important matter, I must come and examine you in person. Mave, Gregory, you two will be my assistants. Rick, please stand away and don't touch my equipment."

Rick shrugged helplessly. "Pal, why haven't you forgotten that I unplugged your electrocardiograph to charge my phone? Didn't I realize it was wrong after I unplugged it, and quickly plugged it back in for you?"

"Look at my mouth shape - get lost."

"Okay, okay..." Rick stood aside obediently.

Gu Ran couldn't help but complain in his heart: I regret it! I still want a beautiful assistant!!! Doctor Jensen turned back and smiled at Gu Ran, "Let's hurry up. Come on, take off your shirt, Maifu, you connect the biosignal electrodes, Gregory, you go and prepare the ECG."

"OK."

Myv and Gregory busied themselves with work in a skillful and methodical manner.

Gu Ran took off his shirt with a numb expression, revealing his muscular body.

“Wow~”

“What a great figure!”

"I really want to try it..."

The female doctors at the health checkup center were drooling through the glass.

A player who was testing the bearing capacity of his joints shouted tremblingly: "Doctor... Doctor, please turn off the machine. My Achilles tendon is about to tear!"

The female doctors then hurriedly dispersed and returned to their respective jobs.

But their eyes still couldn't help but glance at Gu Ran.

The first test is an ECG cardiopulmonary function test.

The examination is designed to test and assess the player's heart and lung health, which are the most important for football players.

Without a healthy heart and lungs, it is impossible to play the intense sport of football.

ECG examination is divided into two parts: static detection and dynamic detection.

Static testing is to lie on the testing bed and measure indicators such as electrocardiogram and blood pressure.

Dynamic testing is to put on an oxygen mask on a multi-functional physical fitness test machine and run at a constant speed.

Gu Ran was already very familiar with this type of testing and completed the static and dynamic motion testing step by step.

The ECG data report soon reached Dr. Jensen.

Looking at the report, Dr. Jensen couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise. "Gu, your cardiopulmonary function is perfect! Your physical condition is very good - of course, according to the report, you should still have a lot of room for improvement! Yes, it's okay, don't be afraid, just improve your physical condition boldly, and your cardiopulmonary function will be stronger."

You don't know the feeling of being woken up by yourself every morning...

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Thank you for the advice, Dr. Jensen. I will continue to improve my physical fitness."

Dr. Jensen solemnly signed his name on the ECG report to confirm that the test report was authentic and valid.

"Very good, let's go to the second item."

The second item is a physical examination, which includes the player's basic physical characteristics such as height, weight, and body fat content.

Gu Ran stood barefoot on the multifunctional body measurement instrument. Ten seconds later, all of Gu Ran's physical data appeared on the LCD screen of the instrument.

Height 184.2CM, weight 72.7KG.

——My height has increased by 2.5CM compared to the previous measurement when I was on the school team!

From rebirth to now, in less than 3 months, I have grown 4.2CM!

The improvement in my physique is really noticeable! I lost 1.1 kg, but my body looks much stronger than before - less fat and more muscle.

At this time, the BMI and body fat ratio data were also displayed: BMI index 21.47, body fat ratio 10.82%.

Holy shit…

Seeing this body fat ratio data, Gu Ran himself was shocked!

The body fat ratio of professional players is generally 12%. The body fat ratio of 10.82% has surpassed the average professional players! The improvement of physical attributes is really awesome!

If we raise the physical attribute to above 80, and combine it with scientific training, wouldn't the body fat ratio be able to exceed 10?

The body fat percentage of top athletes is 8%, and that of Ronaldo is 7%...

Compared to my previous body fat ratio of 13%, the gap between me and Ronaldo has narrowed significantly! The only problem is that improving physical attributes is a double-edged sword...

But we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater, right?

You have to fill your body with energy sooner or later...

Alas, it’s all for playing football!

Dr. Jensen signed his name to the second test.

After signing, Dr. Jensen praised: "Gu, your physical data is perfect! Your body is very well trained. I can't believe you are a grassroots person. I dare say that in addition to training in the training ground, you also train at home, right?"

Passing, passing, passing, passing... shooting, that counts too, right? Gu Ran cleared his throat, "Ahem, Doctor Jensen, you're really good at judging people."

Dr. Jensen said proudly, "Of course, I am the chief team doctor of Southampton. Okay, the third item is urine analysis. This is to check whether your urine protein and other indicators are normal, and whether you have taken any banned substances. It will also analyze your kidney function."

A female doctor ran over excitedly, "Ahhh! Let me do it! Let me do it! It's finally my turn!"

Gu Ran's crotch tightened! ...
