Chapter 14 Domestic sensation ()

After the interview, the Football News quickly sent out the content and pictures of the interview. The editor-in-chief of the Football News adopted the titles of Lin Hai and Guo Nu, and soon printed out the exclusive interview about Mark.

The interview about Mark with the title "Chinese Genius Takes Off the Netherlands" soon spread to thousands of fans in China. The interview reporter Lin Hai also made a personal comment after the interview.

"A Chinese A-A youth team defender was terminated by the club due to talent issues, but he found his position in the midfield of Ajax, the top team in the Netherlands. This young man took one step at a time. After experiencing great efforts from the youth team to the first team, he finally succeeded in the Netherlands after joining Ajax for half a year. Perhaps the young man is not very skilled in some of his technical movements, but don't forget that he is now the youngest front-line main player in Ajax. He is only eighteen years old, and he is Mark from China. Let's think about it, is our club really teaching according to his aptitude? Why can a central defender eliminated from China succeed abroad? Is there any magic in foreign water? Maybe this is something that all of us need to reflect on in it."

After the release of the new newspaper of "Football News", it was sold out directly. Mark's attention in China has also increased unprecedentedly. All fans hope that a superstar can appear in their country, but the superstar seems to have no fate with China, a football desert country. But now it is different. Mark's appearance has given everyone hope, especially Mark's appearance is based on the Ajax team at the age of 18, which has made many people who truly understand football favor.

Now many people on the Internet are trying every means to find a website that can broadcast the Eredivisie to see the Chinese genius. Just one of the excellent performances of the game conquered China. This should only be able to see the same thing in the UK, but Mark did not disappoint the fans. All the fans were trying their best to find Ajax's game video and live broadcast websites.

Now Mark's home has naturally received special attention. Jack Ma, a man from Northeast China, has become the most popular figure in his small town. With the halo of the most promising star in China, he always comes to buy things as soon as he opens the store. In fact, buying things is fake. You can see if this star's father is real. Chinese people just like to join in the fun, especially the stars who are out of their own small town. Mark's previous elementary school classmates also come to help. They all hope to take the opportunity to become famous. You should know that Mark's identity is different from before.

However, some of these people have been close friends with Mark since childhood, and some are snobs who want to use Mark's fame to bring enough benefits to themselves. Those powerful villains have come close to Mark when he played football. At that time, they hoped that Mark could help them make a nickname with a well-known identity in the local area and then eat and drink. However, since Mark was terminated by the club, these people have never been found again. Now Mark is famous again and such a person has come out again. Wang Lei is the representative of the people here.

However, Jack Ma was naturally not very clear about these things. He was still very happy to see that Mark and his classmates came to help him every day. Although he had doubts about these people's scheming, his son was not around and international long distances were quite expensive. He was not interested in asking his son for these trivial matters.

However, Jack Ma was still very happy. Although he was upset by these media every day, his business was much better after all, and his sales were doubled now. And there were also a bunch of free helpers who helped him, so his life was still quite comfortable. However, Jack Ma began to miss his son when he was free, especially his son was living abroad. He didn't know how his life was. His wife often talked about his son in his ears, but he felt that playing football was too surprising, so it was still a real business trip. If Mark didn't play football in the future, there would be a way out.

But Jack Ma didn't know that Mark had already embarked on a path of no return. If he could not succeed, his life would be reduced by half, so Mark could only go on one path of success.

Nowadays, many bars mainly play Ajax games, because this is a huge business opportunity. Chinese players have never proved themselves in the European League. None of the previous overseas players joined the giants, and no player could win the league championship.

Although the Eredivisie is now excluded from the top five European leagues, Ajax is still very familiar to Chinese fans. Chinese fans still think that Ajax is a giant team in their mentality, but the giants are just a little lonely now. Mark can play as a substitute in such a giant, and has excellent performance. Anyone with discerning eyes knows that Mark is in good shape now, and it should not be difficult to win the main position. Moreover, based on Ajax's outstanding performance now, it should have a good chance to compete for the championship this year.

If this happens, Mark will become the first Chinese player to win the championship as a main player in the European League, which will be an unprecedented breakthrough for China. Mark's value will also rise like a Rockets, and the Chinese market he represents will continue to expand due to the increase in his value. As a senior businessman or media person, China TV will naturally not miss this good opportunity. You should know that after Yao Ming transferred to the Houston Rockets, CCTV became the home broadcaster of the Rockets every time he broadcasted CCTV, and China also became Houston's home court.

Although basketball and football are different sports, one thing is common, that is, stars, especially those who go out in China, are very popular among Chinese people. The Chinese sports industry always likes to elevate football to the concept of nationality. So if you don’t sign Mark before you become completely famous, you’d be an idiot.

The deputy director of Liaoning TV Station, Zhong Dajun, first thought of this opportunity. Moreover, Mark was from the Liaoning Youth Team, and he is also from Liaoning. If he could broadcast the Ajax team's game, the TV station's ratings would have a qualitative leap.

After Zhong Dajun asked the leaders of the station, the leaders were also very concerned about this matter and specially allocated funds to allow Zhong Dajun to negotiate with Dutch TV on broadcasting the live broadcast of the Ajax football team. For the first time, Zhong Dajun formed a negotiation team to the Netherlands with the fastest efficiency. On the second day, he took a plane from China Airlines to Amsterdam to negotiate on the broadcasting issue.

After arriving in the Netherlands, Zhong Dajun and his group rushed to the Dutch National Television to meet with the Minister of Sports Dawson and expressed their intentions. In fact, Zhong Dajun's arrival was abrupt because they rushed to the Netherlands to negotiate the broadcasting matter without contacting the Dutch National Television. However, this was impossible. Zhong Dajun knew that if he didn't take action, other local stations and even CCTV would never give up on this opportunity to increase viewership, so he would rather make some concessions on the broadcasting price than to get the right to this broadcasting rights.

The negotiations went smoothly. Since the Eredivisie has lost the glory of the mainstream European leagues, the Netherlands has now become an arsenal of the four major European leagues, so they are still very concerned about the intention of broadcasting and acquisition from Oriental China TV.

The Dutch themselves are also playing with their own little ones. They hope that not only can the price of this broadcast be sold higher, but also hope that through this broadcast cooperation, they can closely connect them with Chinese TV stations. This has great benefits for the development and sales of the league. You should know that China now has a population of 1.3 billion. What a huge market. They have also conducted surveys before. Although the purchasing power of the Chinese people is not very strong now, their younger generation will be different after they grow up, so now is a good opportunity for publicity.

Finally, the two sides signed a contract that ended this season's Eredivisie. The contract stated that Liaoning TV will have the exclusive broadcast rights of the Ajax Club of the Eredivisie this season. However, for Liaoning TV to only broadcast Ajax games, Dutch National TV naturally asked for a higher price. The two million euros broadcast fee did not break the previous broadcast fee of Liaoning TV. You should know that two million euros are almost equivalent to more than 20 million yuan. Now it seems that these things are not impossible to operate, because there will naturally be sponsors to broadcast the Eredivisie game. As long as Liaoning TV operates well, these sponsors can fully earn these fees, and even Liaoning TV can earn more.

This time, the incident was entirely due to the sense of Zhong Dajun, a senior media person from other places. He discovered this business opportunity and rushed to everyone. Although he had paid some costs before, these costs were almost negligible. In the future, if domestic TV stations want to broadcast Ajax's game, they must look at the face of Liaoning TV. If Zhong Dajun disagreed, even CCTV cannot directly broadcast Ajax Club's game.

But if the Central Station really wants to broadcast the Ajax team game, Liaoning Station will still be forced to compromise due to the power of the Celestial Empire.

So now, the first thing Zhong Dajun, the deputy director who was poached by Liaoning TV station, did was very successful after taking office. With the proof of time, Zhong Dajun's unique vision can be seen. In the future, a large number of local Chinese stations have issued applications to the Dutch National TV station to acquire broadcasts, but they were all rejected by Ajax. Ajax even regretted whether he sold the broadcasts cheaply, but these things are all later.

Since Zhong Dajun came to Amsterdam, it would be too unreasonable to see Mark. You should know that Mark had appeared in the newspaper before and no TV station had conducted an exclusive interview with him. Zhong Dajun seized such an opportunity to take advantage of such a loophole. If he could push Mark directly to the TV audience, he would undoubtedly be another opportunity to promote Mark to promote his TV station.

But it is difficult to contact Mark now, because Mark now has his own agent. If you want to contact Mark for an exclusive interview, you must talk to Mark's agent silently.

Soon Zhong Dajun met this female football agent of Mark. Originally, Zhong Dajun wanted to use his fellow villager to impress Momo, but after chatting, he realized that Momo was actually from Chengdu. The opportunity to make Zhong Dajun was a little wrong. In fact, it was no wonder. After all, Mark is very mysterious to everyone now, let alone the agent around him. Otherwise, Zhong Dajun would have done his homework and then worked again.

Fortunately, Momo is not a pretentious person, and she is not that strongly regional. Anyway, Mark is from Northeast China, and Momo is of course very welcome to the interview with TV stations from Northeast China. So the two sides simply talked about Momo and agreed to the interview. However, before that, he decided to contact Mark first, because the last "Football News" Momo took the reporters to the training ground without asking. Although Mark did not say anything at the time, he accepted the interview happily, Momo felt that he was inappropriate. Now she is employed by Mark after all. If Mark wants to fire her, it is OK. So for his money and reputation, Momo decided to respect Mark's opinions more. Although Mark is only eighteen years old now, he is already an adult in Chinese law and has the ability to judge right and wrong.

"Mark, there is a TV station here to interview you." Momo said on the other end of the phone: "It seems to be the TV station in your hometown. I don't know if you want to be interviewed. This time you are not in the newspaper, but can appear on TV. I think this is a good opportunity, and of course you will decide in the end."

"Is the TV station?" Mark didn't react after hearing Momo's words, but after a few seconds, Mark suddenly started to scream excitedly and shouted: "It's great Momo, no problem. Let them come to my house and I will start to receive an interview after the training."

Although Momo was expecting it, she still felt that Mark's reaction was a little excited. Isn't it just a local TV station? In fact, Momo didn't know what the TV station meant to Mark. If the previous newspapers could be seen by some fans, then on the TV station would mean that people who are not fans could see it. At least people in the entire Liaoning Province could see it. Such an opportunity is a matter of undesirable for Mark to win glory for his parents or to earn more reputation for himself.

The visit to the apartment that Mark rented that night soon began again. After gaining the experience of the last time, Mark was no longer a rookie who had never been interviewed, but he still seemed a little nervous after looking at the camera and the bright light in his small apartment.

Zhong Dajun felt uncomfortable when he looked at Mark's slightly simple room. Now Mark represents the hope of Chinese football. This room is simply too simple, but he just simply looked at it and answered the topic.

"Mark tried to relax." Zhong Dajun also saw Mark's nervous expression and comforted him and said, "Just just think that two fellow villagers were chatting. In fact, it's very simple. I'll ask you some questions, and you'll say them if you want to answer, and don't say them if you don't want to answer."

After hearing Zhong Dajun's comfort, Mark relaxed a little, and the following were some topics of chatting. Of course, these topics were not interviewed by "Football News" before, but talked about Mark's growth process.

When Zhong Dajun learned that Mark's current weekly salary is only 1,000 euros, he couldn't help but feel a little curious. A player with outstanding potential is only 1,000 euros. Although this weekly salary is a lot in China, it is simply pitiful for a player who plays in Europe. Look at the young players who play in Europe, which one is worth tens of thousands of euros a week.

"Have you ever thought about joining the Chinese national team?" Zhong Dajun asked a topic like this.

Mark was stunned when he heard this topic and said, "Of course I thought about joining the national team, but the current national team has not summoned me. I hope to play football on behalf of the youth team first."

When Mark gave a positive answer, Zhong Dajun made up his mind because he knew through chat that Mark's football path was very difficult, and China did not provide Mark with any favorable conditions. The Chinese national team and even the General Administration of Sports have no right to restrict Mark from being selected for the national team by force.

Because Mark conquered the Netherlands entirely on his own. Without the Chinese market and without the recommendation of the club, Mark relied on his own strength to play in the first team step by step. And under the chaotic system of the Chinese Football Association, who knows whether Mark would be given a clause to ask for training fees? If that is true, it would be a loss for Chinese football.

In fact, Mark didn't know that his career in the national team will cause uproar in the future, which will completely change the existing system of Chinese football, but this is all a story.
