We made you the King of Prisoners, and now you've become the King of Football?

The Ligue 1 winter break begins with the match against Troyes.

There are 15 days until the next round of the competition begins.

Leaving aside the time it took to return to the team three days early to resume training.

The players only have about ten days of vacation that they can truly control.

Most players chose to go home to spend time with their families or go on a relaxing beach vacation to better prepare for the second half of the season.

However, many players took advantage of this free time to rush to various commercial endorsement trips.

Jiang Ming was no exception.

After he signed an agent contract with Mendes, Mendes even put aside matters concerning Ronaldo and personally helped him secure endorsement deals.

However, judging from Jiang Ming's current popularity...

Rather than Mendes helping him find endorsements, it's more accurate to say that endorsements came knocking on his door.

Adidas and Nike, two top sports brands, need no introduction.

Both companies offered exorbitant prices to attract talent.

They all understood just how much potential the Chinese market behind Jiang Ming truly possessed.

Nike offered Jiang Ming a five-year, €2400 million contract, with an 8% share of his image rights.

They also promised that as long as Jiang Ming achieved his goal and assist targets by the end of the season...

We'll make him custom-made sneakers, just like we did for Kobe Bryant back then.

Adidas was not to be outdone, offering €2000 million over four years, directly giving 10% of the image rights.

It's worth noting that even Brother Luo's share is only 12%, and Brother Mei's is only 15%.

Only two of the world's top superstars received this treatment.

It's clear how many concessions the two families made in order to win over Jiang Ming.

Two contracts worth tens of millions were laid out on the table.

Mendes, however, advised him not to rush.

"This is just the first bidding between the two companies. After the Europa League knockout stage, when they play a couple of matches against teams like Dortmund and Manchester United, the bidding will rise as the buzz increases."

As for the remaining endorsements, they are mostly from within China.

Mobile phone brands and sports drink manufacturers are all scrambling to spend money.

The mobile phone brand that offered the highest price directly offered 1200 million RMB for an endorsement fee for one year.

There was also a football game that was being developed in a rush, with the idea of ​​incorporating the football player into the game.

After all, he is the first Chinese player to score a hat-trick in one of the top five European leagues, and his popularity is even higher than that of many popular celebrities.

To meet the deadline, Mendes accompanied Jiang Ming back to China to film GG.

on the plane.

Jiang Ming leaned back in his seat, flipping through the schedule that Mendes had arranged for him.

Next, I'll be flying to three cities; my ten-day itinerary is packed.

Now Mr. Jiang can truly travel all over the country.

Before Jiang Ming transmigrated, he never dared to imagine that one day so many brands would be vying to give him money.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "A player from China who can actually make it is worth way too much!"

Mendes smiled and shook his head: "Actually, I think their price was a bit low."

"You've only played one month of official matches, yet you've already received so much attention. Pochettino even invited you to join Tottenham as their key player."

"If you keep playing like this, how high will your popularity be then?"

"Let me do the math for you. If you win the Ligue 1 Best Young Player award, make the Best XI, the Europa League Best Young Player award, and the Best XI..."

"Even your Monaco still has a chance to win the Europa League title this season."

"If you consistently hold a leading position, these awards are enough to propel you to the top."

"What China lacks has never been a market, but rather someone who can take over the entire market."

……

Inside a filming location.

"Yes! That's it! Juggling the ball! Just be natural!"

"Then a shot! Wow! So accurate!"

"Cut! One take! Xiao Jiang's acting is great!"

"With that acting talent and that face, he could easily enter the entertainment industry after retiring from the military!"

Director GG, wearing sunglasses, shouted excitedly and showered Jiang Ming with praise, maximizing his emotional impact.

Next came the part where I shot a cover with a female celebrity.

The two stood back to back, each holding up the new phone, posing for the camera.

The actress had clearly listened to her agent and knew about Jiang Ming's current popularity, so she wanted to ride on his coattails.

During the shoot, she secretly turned her head and winked at Jiang Ming.

But Jiang Ming acted as if he hadn't seen it at all, showing no reaction whatsoever.

It's not that he didn't see it!

But Ronaldinho's experience from back then serves as a cautionary tale.

Xiao Luo: I've been ruined by alcohol and women, and I've become so haggard...

In order not to follow in the footsteps of my predecessors.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and become a Sigma man, not daring to have the slightest ulterior motive.

After the shoot ended, the two exchanged WeChat contacts only after being brought together by the staff.

After that, we each went about our own business and didn't chat much more.

After filming GG non-stop for the past few days, Jiang Ming can finally take a break.

He slumped onto the hotel sofa and couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh, doing business is more tiring than playing football!"

Again, we had to shoot various posed scenes according to the director's requirements.

He also had to deal with various mysterious invitations from his co-stars.

Fortunately, all the filming for GG has finally been completed, and the money is now in my hands.

"Jiang Ming!"

"Jiang Ming!"

Before leaving, Jiang Ming helped the fans who came to see him off by signing autographs and taking photos with them.

Only then did he board the plane back to France.

Playing football suits us better.

……

Back to Monaco.

The first thing Jiang Ming did was to ask Mendes to help him find a detached house near the club.

After all, he is now a "big shot" with a net worth of tens of millions of euros.

We can't keep sharing dormitories with the young players from our youth training program.

Going through this whole process, Jiang Ming didn't actually get much time to relax during the entire winter break.

Before we know it, it's time to prepare for the second half of the season.

The players gradually returned to the team, and training resumed normally.

During a training break, defensive midfielder Bakayoko heard about Jiang Mingdong's schedule during the break and patted him on the shoulder.

"Aren't you going out to relax? Don't you have any options? How about I take you out for some fun these next couple of days?"

"I think we should forget about it..." Jiang Ming quickly declined.

"What's the big deal! That's what all the Italians do, don't worry about it!" Bakayoko added when he saw him refuse.

"People your age are already doing fancy tricks! I heard that AC Milan and Inter Milan are even playing together on Impact!"

"You even know that?" Jiang Ming was astonished.

This matter was only exposed ten years later, but Bakayoko already knew about it?

"Hehe, we met at a party before..."

"Alright, don't corrupt Jiang." Fabinho leaned over. "This kid has such talent. If you ruin him, you'll be the number one culprit."

Jiang Ming listened from the side, muttering to himself.

Fortunately, he's here by himself now.

If Ronaldinho were here back then, it would probably be Bakayoko who would be led astray.

……

2016 1 Month 4 Day.

The first match after the winter break was the final round of the French Cup.

Monaco will host lower-league side San Gianni Polonnaë.

Jardim simply let the youth academy kids play for half a game, and they beat the opponent 3-1 in the first half.

In the second half, they brought on key players like Jiang Ming, Bernardo Silva, and Fabinho to check their recovery status.

The match ended with the score at 10-2.

Monaco advanced to the round of 32 in the French Cup with little effort.

Jiang Ming transformed into someone with Messi on the left foot and Ronaldo on the right.

I racked up six dribbles in this easy win, but unfortunately this match didn't count towards my mission, otherwise I could have gotten a perfect score of 10.

The current progress has reached [8/30 of the high-speed sprints in the race to get rid of opponents; 4.3/10km of cumulative sprints].

He looked at the progress bar, feeling quite pleased with himself.

If there were more weak teams like this, he could efficiently finish the mission.

Now he finally understood how Brother Luo felt.

Luxembourg's Grim Reaper, Andorra's Butcher, Gibraltar's Nemesis, North Macedonia's Nightmare, Faroe Islands' Conqueror, Liechtenstein's Victim...

No wonder Brother Luo has so many titles.

Stomping noobs is so satisfying!
