Chapter 463 It Can Only Be Him!
Don Blaustein was also very depressed.
He never thought that football and music could be played like this.
The popularity of the International Champions Cup was beyond his expectations because this was only the first edition of the event.
However, Yang Huan and Miracle Media surprisingly combined football and music. From the draw ceremony, they have been hyping up this event, and later they even arranged for Psy and Yoona to sing new songs at the game.
These two superstars have been very popular in the United States and around the world for two years and have countless fans.
When the box office for the first game of the International Champions Cup came out, Don Blaustein knew he was wrong.
But he never imagined that his mistake would be so big.
Miracle Media has now sold the audio copyright of the third generation of divine songs, and then sold the Internet video copyright again, and then started selling TV station copyrights. Now they are going to release a PB and then Psy and Yoona will start their global tour again.
Wow, I knew Miracle Media had strong operational capabilities, but I didn't expect it to be this strong.
Damn it, you are now treating the Divine Comedy as a golden signboard, just like a money printing machine.
Don Blaustein was depressed. If he had known it would be like this, he would have negotiated the contract no matter what.
But now, it's too late to regret.
They are now on good terms with Budweiser beer.
Thinking of this, Don Blaustein was also helpless. Wasn't he, Yang Huan and Miracle Media getting along very well in the past?
But what about now?
There are no fathers and sons in the business world, no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
Van Boxmeyer looked at Don Blaustein, who had a depressed look on his face, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided.
After all, this was his beloved general whom he promoted personally. If he made a mistake, it was the same as his own mistake.
The most important thing now is not to pursue responsibility, but to find a way to make amends as soon as possible.
"Tell me, what are you going to do?" Van Boxmeer sat back in the boss's chair and asked.
Don Blaustein thought for a moment, "In the past month or so, Budweiser's performance has grown by leaps and bounds. Obviously, the International Champions Cup, Psy, and Lin Yuna have helped a lot. We plan to launch a series of promotional activities as soon as possible..."
Halfway through his speech, Van Boxmeer immediately waved his hand and stopped him from continuing.
“You still don’t get the point.”
Don Blaustein was stunned. What's the point?
"We have already lost half of the battle. If we don't want to lose the other half, we must quickly find a way to stabilize our market, especially the European market."
Before Don Blaustein could speak, Van Boxmeyer spoke first.
"You are going to England right now to do two things."
Don Blaustein nodded immediately and agreed to whatever it was.
"First, go find Mr. Sun from Miracle Media and talk to him directly. We want to sponsor the European Youth Champions League organized by them. I know that Budweiser and Carlsberg have also been talking to them about this sponsorship recently. We must grab it."
Heineken has always sponsored the UEFA Champions League, and now sponsoring the UEFA Youth Champions League will undoubtedly easily create a synergy effect, especially considering that this is a competition authorized by both UEFA and FIFA.
According to the event schedule revealed by Miracle Media, the 32 participating teams will give priority to the 32 teams in the Champions League group stage. Once a team chooses to withdraw from the event, other teams will be arranged to participate by invitation.
The matches are scheduled to take place the day before each group match. Sky TV has made it clear that it will broadcast this event live in Europe, which undoubtedly reassures many sponsors.
Don Blaustein nodded heavily. This matter is not difficult to handle.
"Second, go find Peter Nian of Southampton and tell him that we want to sign a new contract with Southampton. The longer the better, and the sponsorship fee can even be higher, but this time we will become the Saints' senior partner."
Southampton's sponsorship system has obvious level restrictions.
The top sponsors are the main sponsors, of which there are only two, one is the jersey and the other is the chest advertisement.
After the main sponsor comes the senior partner, and then the official partner.
But then there are regional partners and special partners.
For example, Nike, because it sponsored Southampton's training center, became one of the special partners.
According to Southampton's official explanation, the higher the level of sponsorship, the greater the authority. The specific authority depends on negotiation, and each sponsor is different. For example, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, which just signed the contract, directly signed an exclusive clause.
In other words, Southampton will no longer be allowed to accept sponsorship from any insurance company, and the insurance of the team's players must be obtained through Metropolitan Life Insurance.
"Mr. Van Boxmeer, they are now very demanding in terms of senior partners. I heard recently that they are in talks with Budweiser and Coca-Cola. In addition, they have been in contact with Cadbury in the UK, which intends to become Southampton's senior partner in snacks and beverages."
"I know," Van Boxmeer nodded, "so we mainly talk about high-level beer partners. We can't let Budweiser take advantage of the situation and steal our business."
Are you kidding? It was so hard to get Budweiser to disappear from the list of sponsors of Europe's top football teams. How can they easily return to European football through Southampton?
Today, all teams around the world are optimistic about Southampton and believe that this team will become great.
Of course Heineken will do its best to win it.
Seeing that Don Blaustein was a little worried, Van Boxmeyer nodded slightly, "Okay, you can decide the price. As for this contract, we must get it."
Don Blaustein nodded immediately after hearing the CEO's powerful words.
"I see"
"Well, Huang Ying, I love going shopping with you the most."
In Harrods department store in London, a blue-eyed, blonde British girl took Huang Ying's hand affectionately and said with a giggle.
"Why?" Huang Ying asked with a sweet smile.
"It's very simple. You have a super VIP gold card of Harrods Mall, which gives you 40% off on shopping. It's super cost-effective to buy things. Also, you will treat me to dinner at Wangjiang Pavilion."
Huang Ying couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this, but she was secretly shaking her head in her heart.
The other party was his colleague at Foster + Partners, and they had a good relationship, especially when the other party knew that he had a legendary super VIP gold card of Harrods department store, their relationship obviously progressed by leaps and bounds.
Speaking of this legendary super VIP gold card that can get 40% off and even buy things for free at Harrods...
Huang Ying couldn't help but think of Yang Huan's image in her mind, and her heart felt warm because she hadn't seen him for several days.
How are you doing lately?
In fact, there is no need to ask, it must be very good.
The International Champions Cup is popular, Psy and Yoona’s third-generation hit song is also popular, and Southampton is even more popular.
How can it be bad?
Although Huang Ying has been too busy with Foster + Partners' affairs these days, she still takes time out every day to pay attention to Yang Huan, secretly checking his WeChat or searching for news about him on the Internet.
That feeling is also quite good, and he doesn't know yet
"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner"
"Yeah, hooray!"
The two walked into the Wangjiang Pavilion in Harrods one after the other.
As soon as they entered the door, they heard someone playing the piano in the restaurant.
When I first heard it, I didn’t feel anything.
Listen again and you will hear it.
Isn’t it the tender version of Little Apple in Yoona’s new album that touched countless people?
In the corner of the restaurant, I saw a long-haired middle-aged man in his forties playing Little Apple passionately.
People dining in the restaurant were eating while listening to him playing the piano.
Not to mention, he plays the piano quite well.
"Miss Huang, you're here." The waiters in the restaurant all knew her and immediately greeted her politely.
There are very few gold cards in Wangjiang Pavilion, and all of them were given out by Young Master Huan.
Therefore, the waiters at Wangjiang Pavilion basically recognize every guest who shows up with a gold card, especially when the other person is a beautiful woman, the impression is even more profound.
For example, Miss Zhuang Ziqing, who was breathtakingly beautiful in the past and has now become Master Huan’s fiancée.
There is also Miss Huang, the daughter of Huang Tianshun, the general manager of the Wangjiangge restaurant chain.
Huang Ying entered the store and walked towards the VIP area, but pointed to the corner where the piano was played, "Why do you invite someone to play the piano now?"
The waiter smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, Miss Huang, that person came here by himself, and brought his own piano. I heard he's a famous pianist."
"Then why is he here? And playing Little Apple?"
An old man in his forties playing Little Apple, isn't this scene a bit too incongruous?
In the words of Master Huan, the picture is too beautiful, I dare not look at it
The waiter laughed, "Who knows? He said he is a die-hard fan of Miss Lin Yuner and really likes her song Little Apple. He knew that Miss Lin liked to eat in our restaurant when she was in London, so he moved the piano here to play."
At this point, the waiter laughed again, "This guy is also a weirdo. He only plays Miss Lin's songs and sometimes he can't help singing them. But this guy's singing is really not good enough."
Huang Ying couldn't help but chuckle and laugh again when she heard this.
Looks like a die-hard fan.
Lin Yoona is indeed beautiful, just like a fairy from heaven, no wonder so many men like her.
But Huang Ying knows better than anyone that there is only one person in Lin Yuna's heart.
That's Master Huan
Lin Yoona knew this long before she became famous.
At least even a blind person could see the affectionate look that Lin Yuna gave to Master Huan.
Young Master Huan must like her very much, otherwise why would he do so many things for her?
As she thought about it, Huang Ying couldn't help but feel a little envious of Yoona.
She even thought, if Master Huan did so many things for me, even if he asked me to die for him, I would be willing to do it.
But as soon as I thought of this, my thoughts were cut off.
There was warm applause in the restaurant.
After the man finished playing the song "Little Apple", he received applause from everyone.
Huang Ying also smiled slightly, called her female colleague, found a seat, sat down, and started ordering food.
Just after we ordered, the phone rang.
Huang Ying took out her cell phone and saw that it was her teacher Norman Foster.
Today is not a working day, why are you calling at this time?
Huang Ying was confused, but still picked up the phone.
"Hey, Norman"
"Huang Ying, the Qatar World Cup Organizing Committee really appreciates the new stadium you designed for Southampton and plans to invite you to design a main stadium for the opening ceremony and final of the World Cup, as well as a World Cup commemorative building."
"Me?" Huang Ying was shocked when she heard the news and could hardly believe it.
I am just an assistant in the design of Southampton’s new stadium, why would they invite me?
"Yes, someone must have recommended you to them," Norman Foster said with a smile.
It can be seen that he is quite satisfied with the performance and progress of this female apprentice.
"I believe you can do it"
But Huang Ying obviously couldn't hear what he said clearly.
She knew very well that all the famous architects in the world were vying for the Qatar World Cup order. Whoever got it would definitely become famous, even world-famous.
But why me?
Who recommended me to them?
Huang Ying immediately thought of someone in her mind.
It must be him
It will only be him
