Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

Anyway, I don't plan to sponsor just a few big clubs.

Small clubs still have some influence in the community.

Lin Zhe and Yan Xi pushed open the wire gate to the training ground and went inside.

Two bodyguards followed behind, and two more remained at the door.

"Hi, we're training, sir."

"Yes, I saw it. Where is the person in charge? I'd like to talk to you about something you might be interested in."

to be frank.

As the administrator of the training base, David probably wouldn't care much about this situation under normal circumstances.

They would simply send them away and tell them to practice in the office during work hours.

Or just give them a contact number and that's it.

But the situation is different now.

The two people standing in front of me, putting aside everything else.

Both men and women, judging from their demeanor, are clearly not ordinary people, or small business owners with a little money.

It gave David a feeling.

It's like the so-called "old money style" in British TV dramas.

Just look at women and you'll know.

A man's success cannot be seen from his appearance, but it can be seen from the women around him.

With such an exquisitely beautiful Eastern woman nestled beside him, his strength was undeniable.

Not to mention, behind him were two burly men in suits and headsets, looking just like bodyguards from a TV show.

With this kind of setup, he has to take whatever Lin Zhe says seriously.

"Okay, sir, please come over here and wait a moment while I contact the club manager by phone."

Lin Zhe was too lazy to wait in any lounge or similar place.

I simply stood by the training field and watched the young men play football.

……

On the other side, David also quickly took out his phone.

"BOSS, come to the training ground quickly."

“What’s going on, David? It’s eight o’clock. I don’t want to come to the training ground from home.”

"Hurry up, Boss! You won't regret it once we get here. Something big has happened!"

……

Although I don't understand why, that's what David said.

The club owner still got dressed at home and drove to the training ground.

I wasn't really keen on leaving home at this hour.

After all, I'm in charge, not a player.

Let's see what kind of medicine David is selling, and what kind of mysterious guests have arrived.

……

The car sped along and soon arrived at the training ground.

Then the club owner saw Lin Zhe and his wife.

After a brief self-introduction, Lin Zhe got straight to the point.

He plans to provide some sponsorship to the club.

Upon hearing this news, the boss was stunned into silence.

Then comes ecstasy.

Their small local clubs are different from the big clubs.

Those big clubs are constantly approached by various sponsors.

They sponsor all their daily needs, including food, clothing, and accommodation.

But they were different; they all had to beg and plead for sponsorship.

Moreover, most of the sponsors are not very willing.

After all, the brand benefits from sponsoring their small clubs are negligible.

Therefore, the club has very few sponsors.

Some of them are community fans, fans of their team.

For example, there are a few wealthy fans who run restaurants or small hotels.

We'll give them some sponsorship money to advertise.

Consider it supporting the local team and doing some business locally.

Now things are great; these two obviously wealthy Chinese men have come to his door offering to sponsor him. He's naturally overjoyed.

Then he talked about the club's culture and such.

Anyway, I've said quite a bit.

Finally, he cautiously inquired with Lin Zhe.

Lin Zhe offered sponsorship in that area.

After all, sponsorships vary in size, so it would be better to give a sponsorship like that of a stadium in a competition.

That could probably be done for a few thousand euros.

If you want something a bit more sophisticated, you could add a logo or advertisement to your jersey.

Given the size of their small club, they probably earn tens of thousands of euros a year.

That would be worth hundreds of thousands a year in China.

This number is not low, so he naturally had some expectations.

But here's the problem.

For a small club like theirs, even wealthy clubs wouldn't choose to spend tens of thousands of euros a year on jerseys.

Those without money can't sponsor it either, so it's been sitting empty all these years.

If Lin Zhe were willing to sponsor jerseys, that would be fantastic.

……

Lin Zhe answered the question almost without hesitation.

"Top-tier sponsorships include having our company's huge logo on your club's stadium, as well as jersey sponsorships and the like; it's a strategic partnership."

Upon hearing this news, the club owner could hardly believe his ears.

After all, these terms add up to tens of thousands of euros a year.

They've finally found a sugar daddy.

For those top-tier clubs.

Tens of thousands of euros are not even enough for some players' weekly wages.

But for them, these tens of thousands of euros are enough to cover a significant portion of the club's expenses.

The club can operate more stably and better.

He was naturally very happy to agree.

"Of course, Mr. Lin, we would be very happy to cooperate with you."

Hearing this, Lin Zhe nodded.

After thinking for a moment, I gave a number.

"Given the size of your small club, this sponsorship shouldn't be too expensive, right? We'll also need the players to cooperate by producing some autographed jerseys and other items to support our company's marketing efforts."

The club owner was also quite worried about this issue.

Fearing he might say too much, Lin Zhe turned and left.

After some thought, I estimated the amount to be 50,000 euros.

This will provide Mr. Lin with comprehensive brand promotion for Zhetong Power and a deep partnership with the club.

But just as he was about to say the number, Lin Zhe spoke first.

"100,000 euros a year, let's round it up, what do you think?"

“Oh my god~”

When Lin Zhe said this number, he and David next to him could hardly believe their ears.

One hundred thousand euros, that's a huge sum of money.

With this money, they might even be able to challenge for a spot in the next level of the league.

"Oh my god, thank you so much, Mr. Lin and Ms. Yan. We would be extremely grateful if this sponsorship could be secured."

……

A few days later, the local renovation team arrived.

Don't be fooled by the fact that their community football field has only five or six hundred seats.

But the fans are still very enthusiastic, and on match days, the stadium is usually more than half full.

This is a team in the community league, not even a professional team.

The renovation team installed Zhetong Electric's logo and lettering in a prominent position in the club's stands.

Nobody knows about this company right now.

But they all left a good impression, after all, the club couldn't just put up the power company's sign for nothing.

That must mean they gave sponsorship; if they did, then they must have given sponsorship.

That would be equivalent to sponsoring them. (End of Chapter)
