Party and endorsement

This goal destroyed the last hope of Westerlo, Genk also further strengthened the defense. The two teams did not have a good chance in the final stage, and finally the score was maintained until the end.

After the match, Wang Feng was still immersed in excitement. He never expected that his first hat-trick in his career would come so quickly. Henk's locker room was also full of fun, everyone was talking and laughing.

Captain Aaron Abigail walked up to Wang Feng and said, "Wang, congratulations on completing your hat-trick. I suggest you share your joy with everyone." Wang Feng said, "Without everyone's efforts, there is no way to score a hat-trick, of course I am happy, but what should I do?"

Abigail laughed, and he remembered that the player in front of him was only sixteen years old and had no social experience, so he went on to say: "You can invite everyone to have a good time, it's rare to come to a big city like Antwerp, I know a nice bar with low consumption but a good environment." Wang Feng nodded after hearing this.

So Abigail clapped his hands, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said, "Everyone, let's celebrate the rare victory together. The newly promoted Mr. Hat-trick wants to treat you."

Everyone laughed and responded one after another. Abigail asked the coach if he would go with them. Antonis shook his head with a smile and said, "I won't go. You can't play too late. You have to go back before twelve o'clock. We have to rush back to Genk tomorrow morning."

We came to an open-air bar located in Deer an der Scheldt, which is the city center of Antwerp. Across the river is the famous Stern Castle. At night, under the illumination of the lights, it has a special flavor.

The bar not only provides all kinds of alcohol, but also provides non-alcoholic drinks and snacks, and even has a billiards area and a game area which is an excellent venue for holding parties.

"How do you feel?" Abigail asked with a smile. It was the first time for Wang Feng to come to such a place. In his impression, bars were full of feasting and feasting, where idiots and women entangled with each other.

Seeing his teammates looking for fun by themselves, obviously not their first time to play, Wang Feng couldn't help but secretly complain that Blanche was unreliable. Since there was a normal bar, why did he insist on taking himself and Bess to an ambiguous place.

"It couldn't be better." Wang Feng said sincerely.

"Are we going to play privately?" Wang Feng asked curiously, "Of course, we are only here tonight, to play a game of billiards together?"

This is Wang Feng's first time playing billiards, which makes the teammates around him burst out laughing. The crowd made a fuss until after eleven o'clock before returning home.

The next day, major Belgian media reported on the match between Genk and Westerlo. The title of "Sports Daily" is "Mr. Youngest Hat-trick", and the article introduces Wang Feng's three goals in detail. "He was once again elected the best player in the game, and he deserves it."

The headline of "Latest News" is "Wang Feng scored three goals alone, Genk's shocking comeback", the article mentioned that Wang Feng became the youngest Mr. Hat-trick, broke the Belgian league record, and also quoted Westerlo Head coach Arthur Evelyn's words: "We tried our best, but Genk has a kingly style."

The "Standard" criticized Genk as always. Their headline was "Wang Feng shines at the last moment, Genk narrowly beat Westerlo". The article pointed out that Genk's performance in this game was very poor, especially in the first half. They conceded two goals in a row. However, the report also acknowledged Wang Feng's role: "Contributing 7 goals and 3 assists in 6 rounds, Wang's performance is beyond reproach, but besides him in Genk, who else can stand out?"

After returning to Genk, Wang Feng's agent, Francesco Balmond, called him: "Wang, your performance is so crazy, now almost all of Belgium knows your name, and many local companies want to speak with you, we have to discuss and choose a few."

After a while, Balmond came to Wang Feng's residence with a happy face. He took out a large stack of papers and said, "These are all brands that want you to endorse their product. Take a look."

For Balmond, Wang Feng is simply his lucky star, his biggest trump card. Now Balmond has gained some fame in the agent circle, but he is far behind Wang Feng's progress. He is very worried that Wang Feng will replace him, so he almost devotes himself to his work to seek greater success for Wang Feng. 

Wang Feng took a quick look, including sports brands Scapa, Y/Project, chocolate brand Godiva, and even a few miners and forestry companies, which made Wang Feng a little surprised, "I don't seem to have anything to do with these companies, right? Why do you want me to represent them?"

Balmond explained: "Belgian football has a wide audience in China, and you can be regarded as the darling of the media now. If you are invited to endorse, it can increase the company's popularity."

Although Wang Feng really wants to make money, he also understands the truth that he can't eat more than he can chew. Endorsement also means taking responsibility to a certain extent. So he took a closer look and finally chose two companies, Scapa and Godiva.

"I think it's normal for sporting goods. Godiva is also a world-renowned company, so let's choose these two first." Wang Feng said: "However, for food endorsements, I want a shorter term to avoid problems."

Balmond nodded: "I understand what you mean. Those small endorsements are really unnecessary, and they also belittle their own commercial value. I will continue to negotiate with them."

Soon the matter was finalized. Wang Feng signed a three-year endorsement contract of 150,000 euros after tax with Scapa, and a two-year endorsement contract of 40,000 euros after tax with Godiva. Feng only needs two days to go to these two companies to take a group of photos.

Excluding the agent's commission, when more than 180,000 euros were deposited into Wang Feng's account, even though he had prepared himself, he still felt it was unbelievable. If converted into RMB, wouldn't he become a millionaire?

The money earned during this period includes not only a fixed weekly salary, but also winning bonuses, goal bonuses, best player bonuses, etc., which are also a considerable amount of income. He also kept part of it and sent the rest back home.

Even so, his family couldn't believe it, and lamented that Wang Feng made money too fast, but compared with this huge sum of money, it seemed like nothing.

Wang Feng picked up his mobile phone and called his family to tell them the news. His mother and elder sister were very surprised, but only his younger sister said in a voice like a little adult: "Brother, it's nothing, if you become a world superstar, the endorsement fee will be thousands of times what it is now, so you have to keep working hard."

Wang Feng smiled: "Okay, I will work hard to make you the younger sister of a multi-millionaire."

It was his mother who came to her senses first, and she said worriedly: "Xiaofeng, is this money reliable? It's not labor income. I can't calm down."

Wang Feng said: "It's okay, mom, I still have to promote their products. It's labor, and the contract period is not long. I didn't hear what my little girl said. When I change to a bigger brand, I can get more money." 

"There are so many people in our family, all crammed into one small house. You can use this money to buy a big house. I can live in it when I go home in summer. In addition, we will need money to let our sister study abroad. Just spend it, I don't lack anything here, and there is nothing to spend money on."
