After Paris Saint-Germain was removed from the list, I led England to victory!

With Singles' Day approaching, the late autumn in London is already quite chilly.

However, the atmosphere in Yan's father's office was even more intense than on the training field.

The reason is simple: Yan's father received another top-tier endorsement contract from a domestic company.

In the afternoon, the documents spread out on Yan's father's desk were piled up like a small mountain, and the dense English contract terms on the computer screen flickered with a cold light.

He rubbed his throbbing temples; his eyes were already bloodshot from looking at the keyboard. His fingers kept typing on the keyboard.

As Yan Yuan's manager and father.

He is currently facing the most important negotiation of his career.

An endorsement offer from Ali Group, a Chinese e-commerce giant.

"The terms offered by the Ali Group are: 3 years, $9 million, and an exclusive endorsement," Mr. Yan said to Oliver, Arsenal's commercial director, on the other end of the phone, his voice steady but tinged with disbelief and shock.

"Ali has really gone all out this time."

Oliver gasped for breath on the other end of the phone.

"My God! Ninety million US dollars?! Three years?! This...this already exceeds Messi and Ronaldo's endorsement income in China! Ali is treating Yan Yuan as the only superstar in the Chinese market!"

"That's right." Father Yan took a deep breath.

"What they value is not just my son's current competitive form and market value, but also that he is the youngest three-time Golden Boot winner in the top five leagues, Arsenal's absolute core player, and the top favorite for the European Golden Boy award."

More importantly, he is currently the only Chinese player to have established himself in a top-tier league and achieved phenomenal performance.

This contract is not only an affirmation of his past achievements, but also a huge gamble on his future potential and enormous appeal in the Chinese market.

The office door was pushed open, and Yan Yuan arrived dressed in casual clothes. He happened to be visiting his father today.

"Dad? I heard from Mr. Oliver that you were negotiating a contract with me again, right? How did it go?"

Yan's father beckoned him in and turned the screen towards him:

"Here, son, take a look. The basic framework is set, and the Allianz Group is very sincere. But we still need to work on the details, especially the scope of image rights use, exclusivity clauses, and the binding of some charitable activities. Arsenal's team and our lawyers are in the final tug-of-war with them."

Yan Yuan leaned closer to the screen, staring at the long, dizzying string of numbers.

$90,000,000.

He blinked.

Although he was no longer the clueless boy he once was about money, the weight this number represented still gave him a jolt.

He looked at his father: "Dad, is it safe?"

Yan's father nodded solemnly.

"It's stable, but remember, this isn't just about money."

in the country, Ali is a national-level enterprise with enormous influence.

This collaboration will strengthen your connection with Chinese fans and allow the world to see the power of the Chinese market and your value as a player of Chinese descent. "Of course," he added, his tone turning serious.

"The premise is that the contract must be rigorous and cannot contain any clauses that would damage your image or hinder your development. My entire team, as well as the Arsenal team, will oversee this for you."

Yan Yuan nodded, his eyes resolute: "I understand. Dad, thank you for your hard work."

……

In the following days, negotiations with Ali Group entered a heated phase.

The agent team led by Yan's father, the legal and commercial teams of Arsenal Football Club, and the legal team dispatched by Ali Group conducted multiple rounds of intensive online and offline consultations.

The meeting room was filled with smoke, coffee cups were piled up on the table, and the sounds of debate rose and fell, sometimes loud and sometimes low.

Every clause and every word was carefully considered to ensure that Yan Yuan's interests were protected while also meeting the commercial needs of the Ali Group.

Finally, after the legal team confirmed all legal risks, a nearly 100-page contract was finalized.

Yan Yuan's father, representing Yan Yuan, and Oliver, representing Arsenal Football Club, along with representatives from the Alli Group, completed the signing ceremony in a conference room at a top hotel in central London.

A barrage of flashes captured this historic moment.

Yan Yuan, dressed in a well-tailored dark suit, stood in front of the signing table with a confident and composed smile on his face, shaking hands with the executives of Ali Group.

At this moment, he is not only a top-tier athlete, but also a commercial icon worth 90 million US dollars.

The excitement of signing the contract has not yet subsided.

Ali Group's efficient execution capabilities are on full display.

On the afternoon of the day the contract was signed, a large filming crew arrived at a professional photography studio in the suburbs of London.

This place has been transformed into a scene full of technological and sporty elements.

When Yan Yuan arrived at the photography studio accompanied by his father, Professor Wenger made a special phone call.

(Before arriving, the professor had given Yan Yuan special permission not to participate in today's training, since Yan Yuan was generating revenue for the club.)

"Yan, do your best in the filming. You deserve it. Get into the right mindset and show your best to the Chinese fans who support you." The professor's voice was filled with satisfaction and encouragement.

"Thank you, Coach! I will!" Yan Yuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Inside the photography studio, the lights were dazzling and the equipment was everywhere.

Director, cinematographer, lighting technician, makeup artist, costume designer...

Dozens of staff members were on high alert, making it look like a movie shoot.

Representatives from Ali Group warmly greeted us, and after exchanging pleasantries, filming officially began.

Yan Yuan changed into a custom-made Adidas outfit.

Under the guidance of a professional team.

Yan Yuan might make his signature "Soaring Shot" or "Luanwei Whirlwind" dribble in front of a green screen.

Whether showcasing speed and power in a futuristic setting, or flashing a warm and confident smile at the camera while uttering carefully crafted GG phrases.

Yan Yuan has already filmed quite a few GG (games/gays).

His camera presence was excellent, his movements were fluid and natural, and his eyes were captivating, earning frequent nods of praise from the director.

During breaks in filming, Yan Yuan did not go straight back to the locker room like some big-name athletes.

He noticed several young people wearing Arsenal jerseys, clearly staff members or extras, looking at him excitedly and nervously from a corner of the studio.

He took the initiative to walk over.

"Hello, are you gun enthusiasts?" Yan Yuan asked with a smile.

"Yes! Yan Shen! We're your die-hard fans!" A bespectacled boy stammered excitedly, "Can we take a picture with you?"

"Of course!" Yan Yuan readily agreed and took the initiative to stand between them.

Others also gathered around.

He not only cooperated with taking photos, but also patiently signed the jerseys, hats and even name tags they handed him, showing a friendly attitude.

"Thank you, Master Yan!"

"Bro, you play soccer so cool!"

"Keep going! We'll always support you!"

The excited voices and adoring eyes of the fans filled Yan Yuan with warmth and motivation.

He knew that these supporters around the world formed the cornerstone of his business value.

……

The footage shot by GG was quickly sent back to China for post-production.

Meanwhile, Yan Yuan was not idle either.

This high-priced endorsement is not only a business collaboration, but also a weighty responsibility and an opportunity to deepen the connection with Chinese fans.

Yan Yuan logged into his Douyin and Weibo accounts.

Instead of releasing the pornographic video directly, he first released a carefully crafted video with his own personal touch.

In the video, he is on an open field at the Kearney training ground, wearing a training uniform, and the football is bouncing skillfully at his feet.

He spoke to the camera in Chinese.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yan Yuan, Arsenal's number 7 player. Singles' Day is almost here, so I'd like to give you all a little gift first: a slow-motion breakdown of my signature move, the 'Phoenix Tail Spin'! Hope you like it!"

Next, the video switched to slow motion and multi-angle playback.

Yan Yuan personally demonstrated every detail of the "Phoenix Tail Spin":

The position of the supporting foot, the shaking of the ankle of the foot that touches the ball, the transfer of the body's center of gravity, the point of explosiveness for changing direction... the movements are clearly broken down and explained in a concise and easy-to-understand manner.

Finally, he effortlessly executed several "spinning tops" in succession, the football seemingly under a spell, bouncing and changing direction between his feet with a fluidity akin to a dance.

"Did everyone understand? Feel free to film yourself practicing the 'Phoenix Tail Spin', add the hashtag #YanYuanPhoenixTailSpinChallenge# and tag me! I'll select some great videos to share!" he said with a smile as he issued the challenge.

The video went viral instantly after it was released!

"Holy crap! Master Yan is personally teaching! He's so doting on his fans!"

"The Phoenix Tail Spin, I've learned that! I'll film a video about it in a bit..."

"That move looks so cool! It looks simple, but it's so hard to do!"

"Shot taken, please reply! @Arsenal player Yan Yuan"

"That's what a star player is like! No fluff, just real skills!"

"Why do I like Yan Shen but not Messi? Yan Shen personally taught us his signature move, but why don't we see Messi making videos teaching his shoulder drop dribble?"

"That's enough, upstairs. It's not like you, Ronaldo, taught him how to shoot a knuckleball."

"BYD, I'm speechless. You two groups are like ghosts, always haunting me. How come I run into you everywhere?"

Messi and Ronaldo fans are like quantum entanglement—they're everywhere.

The comment section was instantly flooded with messages.

The hashtag #YanYuanluanTailWhirlChallenge# has suddenly topped the trending search list!

Countless fans, whether amateur enthusiasts or school football fans, have tried to imitate this move on the field, in open spaces, and even in their living rooms at home, and uploaded videos of it.

In no time, a "Luanwei Xuan" craze swept the internet!

Immediately afterwards, Yan Yuan released a second major announcement!

A more sophisticated short video.

The background shows the Arsenal dressing room and his personal area filled with shoes and jerseys.

"How can Singles' Day be complete without any perks?" Yan Yuan smiled brightly at the camera.

"To thank all the fans who support me and Arsenal, I've prepared 200 exclusive gifts for lucky fans!"

Camera transition, close-up:

[The first gift: 100 pairs of custom-made football boots - Adidas Y17, Arsenal red and white color scheme, with Yan Yuan's signature and exclusive logo printed on the side, and YY 7 embroidered on the inside of the tongue]

[The second gift is 100 autographed Arsenal home jerseys with the number 7 Yan Yuan on them. Moreover, the back is specially printed with the Chinese characters "Yan Yuan 7". This is a special gift for Chinese fans.]

"Participating is very simple!" Yan Yuan explained. "Follow my account, share this video, and include the hashtags #YanYuanDouble11# and #AliDouble11# for a chance to win these exclusive gifts! The event ends on Double 11, and winners will be randomly selected by the system! Good luck everyone!"

This message was like cold water being poured into a boiling oil pan, causing a complete uproar.

"My God! Signed Y17 basketball boots!!"

"Alarm set, I'll grab it on time."

"Holy crap, Arsenal number 7, and it's even a Yan Shen jersey with Chinese characters!!!"

"Yan Shen's looks rank 41st in the world."

"Yan Shen's income ranks 42nd in the world according to Forbes."

"Hey you two upstairs, we don't give away sneakers here. Giving out your shoe size won't help. You have to enter a raffle, you know?"

Yan Yuan's two moves pushed the fans' enthusiasm to its peak.

He not only perfectly fulfilled his duties as a spokesperson, but also accurately directed fan traffic to Ali Group's "Double Eleven" event.

Furthermore, the teaching challenges and exciting prize draws greatly enhanced fan engagement and participation.

This demonstrates his social responsibility as a top star and his sincere gratitude to the fans.

After Yan Yuan's intervention.

His social media backend data is exploding!

The number of fans surged and the number of interactions reached a new high.

Meanwhile, the head of Ali Group's marketing department couldn't stop smiling as he watched the traffic and trending topics on the platform surge.

I called Yan's father immediately to praise Yan Yuan's professionalism and strong market appeal, saying that this collaboration was "great value for money"!

Arsenal's commercial director, Oliver, also briefed Wenger and the club's senior management, his excitement evident.

"Yan Yuan's commercial value has been proven once again! This collaboration with Ali not only brought him huge income, but also provided the club with a considerable commission share!"

More importantly, his enormous influence in the Chinese market will greatly enhance Arsenal's global brand value! This is a perfect win-win situation!

At the Kearney training ground, Professor Wenger looked at the news on his phone about Yan Yuan's "Phoenix Tail Spin" challenge and the Double Eleven lucky draw, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips.

He put down his phone, looked out the window at his students running on the green field, and murmured to himself, "This kid... he's a genius on the field, and a smart person off the field too."

"Arsenal's future depends on him; it's truly wonderful."
