50: An invitation!

Raiola sat in the bright living room, sipping the instant coffee Rocky had brewed for him, a smile on his face.

Although Raiola had not had such coffee for a long time, he still felt happy.

The reason was very simple, because he was going to make money.

Raiola first asked Rocky if he needed anything in life.

Let Rocky continue to maintain this performance. After all, Rocky's current performance was world-class when looking at the entire world football.

At the age of 18, neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Messi can match Rocky.

Only the alien Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima back then, when he was in PSV Eindhoven, can be compared with Rocky.

However, that was more than twenty years ago.

"This time I am here, and the contracts in my hands are brand invitations."

"According to my negotiation, this is the highest price they can offer, and it is also their greatest sincerity."

After chatting for a while, Raiola lost his breath and took out a few contracts from the briefcase he was carrying.

"This is a mobile phone brand called Samsung, a cell phone brand made in India."

"They are willing to sign you for 20 million euros a year as their exclusive spokesperson for the whole world."

"The initial intention to sign the contract is three years."

"Twenty million euros for a year's endorsement fee. Neither Messi nor Cristiano Ronaldo can get it."

Raiola looked at Rocky with secret admiration, although he had long known that the Indian market behind Rocky was indeed huge.

There was a lot of money to be made.

However, this good profit was really because Rocky was from India, if it were any other foreign players, the brands wouldn't make such offers.

For so many years, the only players who can open the Indian market are Messi and Ronaldo, who are at the top of football.

"Also, what football show is this? You don't need to be there at all, you just show up on the show, shoot a few VCR shorts, and when they come to Leicester, you play with their players 5 million euros for one game."

"This endorsement called Garena Free fire, a newly emerged Singaporean game compay, they are willing to give you 10 million euros for a year of endorsement fees."

(A/N: This is a parallel world.)

"There is also a offer from the old brand, Puma."

"They'll give you 13 million euros a year for endorsement, and they also want you to be their global ambassador of Football.."

"This time it's real."

At the end of the recitation, Raiola kept shaking his head.

What exactly happened here?

An 18 year old making money like this?

From his sources, he learnt that Puma executives were looking for someone whose influence and ability was comparable to both Messi and Ronaldo's.

He didn't expect it to be Rocky.

Neymar was the first choice.

Replaced a well known famous footballer with a kid who had just emerged.

Probably a gamble, right?

Will people cry in future?

Don't hesitate to throw away tens of millions of euros in endorsement fees?

Rocky was indeed the most well-known player in the Premier League now. He had basically booked the Golden Boy Award for next year. If the team performs well, he can even enter the selection list for the Golden Globe Award.

But...

Even so, Rocky was just a first-class player, right?

According to the market price, Rocky's endorsement fee was only a few million euros at most, and these were considered generous brands or sponsors.

Now, three offers came from Asians.

The lowest price was 5 million euros. Rocky only needs to record a few short videos and play the first half to earn a full 5 million euros.

Raiola helped Rocky do the calculations.

Count on the time to film the short film and play football with the gang.

It only takes two hours for Rocky to earn five million euros.

Is there still a king's law?

Is there any reason?

Is this fair?!

Now Raiola had completely understood why so many teams want to enter the Asian market.

It's so rich....but has a limited number of players.

And, there was no players from India and China.

Two big countries with billions of population.

Forget Raiola.

Even Rocky was shocked by the generosity of Samsung and Puma.

What's more, Rocky's father, Abhishek was an avid lover of Samsung mobiles phones.

No matter what. You'll always see him holding cell phones of Samsung brand only.

After hearing his son had become a brand ambassador of Samsung, I don't what kind of face, he'll make.

In terms of Games company, Rocky could understand. This company is really good and have always been willing to spend money.

But the two big brands in the front, they can spend so much money to make him their global spokespersons, obviously they have made a lot of determination.

"Samsung, Puma and Garena's endorsements are accepted."

"The invitation to the football show, please help me refuse."

Rocky quickly made up his mind, telling Raiola.

"Why? This is the most profitable activity."

"I calculated it for you, you only need to spend two hours to earn these five million euros."

"If you are afraid of trouble, I can ask my team to help you record this video."

Raiola was puzzled. He didn't understand why Rocky gave up the most profitable and easiest project in his opinion.

It seems Rocky didn't informed anyone about what happened to him..

"Mino, you are not from India, you don't know the face of Indian football, but I do."

"These guys just want to use my reputation and my appeal, to cheat money from kids who want to play football."

"Believe it or not, as long as the show goes out and says that the famous star Rocky has joined the show, as long as the outstanding players can play with Rocky."

"If you're lucky, you can even join a team in the five major leagues."

"Those kids will definitely be excited."

Rocky, who knows Indian Football very well, knew what was going on when he heard Raiola talk about the show.

"Yes, they give me a lot of money, but they're going to demand more money from kids who want to play football."

"I'm not going to be sinner here."

"Hundreds of thousands, millions!"

"This is too much pressure for an ordinary family."

"I've been there and I know how hard it was."

"Mino, help me decline this invitation and please don't accept anything related to football from India, okay?"

In the end, Rocky remembered what that bastard said to him in his office.

Indian football has already submerged in darkness.

You only can see that there very strong players in the team but that's just your speculations.

Just look at India's rank and you'll understand.

All footballers in India basically earning money from ISL and that's it.

The current Rocky had no ability to change.

And, he didn't want to change it either.

Because he didn't owe it to anyone.

He lost all respect the day he was banned.

However, it was simply impossible for him to help other people to deceive children who want to play football for money.
