Moreover, the price was high, but he wasn't paying for it, so he didn't care at all.
Because it was Chairman Chung Ju-yong of Daiwa who made the payment, he was just an agent.
Furthermore, after signing him, he could have the South Korean baseball team join in mocking the South Korean football team that Samsung Motors had signed, and then create hype.
The hype generated by these promotions will quickly recoup the endorsement fees.
But this is contingent on the Korean baseball team maintaining a consistent level of performance.
After the agent signed the contract, Lee Dong-ki stated his requirements.
Upon hearing this, the agent agreed to cooperate with the publicity campaign, because baseball is indeed the number one sport in Korea and a national sport.
It's not comparable to football; how many people play football anyway?
Baseball is watched and practiced by a large number of people.
The following day, with the cooperation of their agents, reporters published an article comparing the South Korean baseball team newly signed by Daiwa Motors and the South Korean soccer team newly signed by Samsung Motors.
This article quickly sparked heated discussions.
As the level of South Korean football teams has improved, football has gradually become a sport that young people pay close attention to.
Therefore, there is still room for discussion about whether baseball or soccer is more popular.
Although South Koreans don't have the upper hand in soccer, it has gradually become South Korea's second sport.
“I knew it!”
"How can a South Korean soccer team compare to a South Korean baseball team that has been popular for decades?"
"In this battle of endorsers (Liao Liao Zhao), the Yamato Motors endorser baseball team won."
When Lee Dong-ki of Samsung Financial saw the heated discussions online, he smiled and walked into the office of Chairman Chung Ju-yong of Daiwa Securities, and spoke to him.
After winning the battle for endorsement deals, the high signing fees can be offset.
The hype generated by the news quickly recouped those high signing fees.
So the high signing fee isn't a problem, as long as we beat the South Korean football team signed by Samsung Motors.
Chapter 264 Princess, don't be impatient. Once the World Cup opens tonight, you'll see the charm of football.
"Yongjun, how did Yamato Motors know we signed a South Korean football team as our spokesperson?"
"Furthermore, Daiwa Motors has signed a South Korean baseball team to compete against us."
"They even spread rumors that our South Korean football team is inferior to the South Korean baseball team."
"This is infuriating."
Princess Lee Boo-jin only learned about the hype surrounding the signing of a South Korean baseball team by Yamato Motors when she saw the news. The hype was intended to make the sport even more popular.
After this topic was hyped up, the consensus was 30/70, with 70% of the audience believing that baseball was the number one sport.
While the South Korean soccer team has performed well in recent years, it is still far inferior to the South Korean baseball team.
So after this news came out, the Korean baseball team, the spokesperson for Daiwa Motors, took the lead over the Korean football team, the spokesperson for Samsung Motors.
Princess Li Fuzhen saw this and angrily called Ni Yongjun, then complained to him about her troubles.
Haha, really?
"That's great! Yamato Motors entering the market is exactly what I wanted."
"Princess, don't be impatient. Once the World Cup opens tonight, you'll see the charm of football."
"Although South Korean football is not as good as South Korean baseball, football is the world's number one sport."
"So as long as South Korean soccer performs well, its influence is unmatched by South Korean baseball."
When Ni Yongjun heard that Princess Li Fuzhen was calling to complain, he was surprised but then happy and offered her some words of advice.
He didn't expect Daiwa Motors (ACFE) to get involved in the endorsement battle.
Furthermore, they chose the most popular sport in South Korea, the baseball team, to be the spokesperson for Yamato Motors.
But all of these will become nothing more than a backdrop for Samsung's car brand ambassadors and the South Korean football team.
Because in this World Cup, the South Korean football team made it to the semi-finals.
Moreover, it caused nationwide cheers and celebrations in South Korea, at which point the charm and influence of football were incomparable to that of baseball.
By then, what will Korean baseball be?
"really?"
"The World Cup opens tonight, will the South Korean football team win?"
"You have to understand that our opponent is the Germans, the second-ranked football team in the world."
"The South Korean football team has no chance of winning."
Princess Li Fuzhen frowned and explained to Ni Yongjun after hearing his words of comfort.
Why did she explain this to Ni Yongjun?
Because Ni Yongjun is from the United States, he is unaware of the strength of the South Korean football team.
But she knew that although the South Korean football team was ranked among the top three in Asia, it could not beat the German football team, which was ranked second in the world.
So the South Korean football team will definitely lose tonight's World Cup opening match; the only question is by how many goals.
"rest assured."
"If I were the one who signed the South Korean football team, they would definitely win."
"The South Korean football team used to lose, but this time in the World Cup, they will keep winning."
"And not only did they keep winning, they also made it to the World Cup semi-finals."
When Ni Yongjun heard Princess Li Fuzhen's explanation, he laughed and retorted.
He's a time traveler, so he must know that in this World Cup, the South Korean football team made history by reaching the semi-finals.
That's why he had Princess Lee Boo-jin sign the South Korean football team as the spokesperson for Samsung Motors.
The idea is to take advantage of the popularity of the South Korean football team to directly introduce the new Samsung cars to the residents.
The historic South Korean football team, now endorsing the brand-new Samsung Motors, is sure to be an instant hit.
Sales will definitely break the ceiling for Daiwa Motors and then set a new record.
Because this new Samsung car has superior data in every aspect, it's simply incomparable to Daiwa Motors.
Chapter 265 This battle for endorsements has only just begun, and dozens of rebuttal news articles have emerged.
"really?"
"Then I definitely have to watch it tonight."
"Yongjun, when are you coming back?"
"I'll have the maid cook some of your favorite dishes, and then we'll watch the World Cup together after we eat."
Princess Li Fuzhen heard that Ni Yongjun was still insisting on his point of view, so she directly changed the subject and started discussing dinner and watching the game that night.
Therefore, she knew that Ni Yongjun was unaware of the true strength of the South Korean football team and thought that these few friendly matches reflected their actual abilities.
But the South Korean football team's actual strength is just so-so; they'd be lucky if they could avoid losing too badly in the group stage.
Therefore, there's no point in continuing to explain and introduce the strength of the South Korean football team.
You'll find out when we watch the South Korean soccer team play tonight!
Because strength cannot be faked; a single kick reveals the true difference.
"I'll be back at six."
"We'll be watching the World Cup opening match while we eat."
Ni Yongjun realized that Princess Li Fuzhen was changing the subject to save face for him, so he didn't expose her and agreed to watch the game together that night.
He then put down his phone and called Miracle CEO Farshad.
"Hey, Mr. Ni."
As soon as the call connected, the respectful voice of Miracle CEO Farshad came from the other end of the phone.
Did you see the news about the bombing?
"Find a reporter to write a rebuttal news article."
"They hype up the South Korean football team and then say that Yamato Motors is blind and doesn't recognize the strength of the South Korean football team."
Upon hearing the voice of Miracle CEO Farshad, Ni Yongjun gave instructions to CEO Farshad.
Tell him to find a reporter to write a rebuttal article, and then continue to hype it up.
As long as both sides continue to hype it up, the more spectators will join in the fun.
So when the South Korean soccer team breaks their historical best record, the feedback will be even greater.
When the whole nation praises the South Korean football team, they will also extend that love to the team and choose the new Samsung car endorsed by the South Korean football team when buying a car.
At that time, the superior performance of the new Samsung cars will be discovered.
It's important to know that this superior performance is something that Yamato cars simply can't match.
Once discovered, the new Samsung Motors truly opened up sales channels, got on the right track, and then continued to break sales records.
At that time, the Yamato car will be trampled down.
Samsung Motors will then ascend to the throne of the number one car company in South Korea.
0 ··Requesting flowers····· ····
"Okay, Mr. Ni."
"I saw that news article about Daiwa Motors that was hyping things up."
"I'm just thinking about how to retaliate."
“Ni Sheng, then I will fight back as you suggested.”
Upon hearing Ni Yongjun's instructions, Miracle CEO Farshad immediately agreed.
He then put down his phone and called a reporter he knew.
.. .. ....
And it wasn't just one call, but dozens of reporters.
These reporters were all asked to write rebuttals, with the news center claiming that Yamato Motors was blind and didn't recognize the strength of the South Korean football team.
Upon hearing Miracle CEO Farshad's request, the reporters all nodded in agreement.
Subsequently, dozens of reporters wrote different news articles, all refuting the claims, with the central theme being that Yamato Motors was blind and failed to recognize the strength of the South Korean football team.
Moreover, they were all published in major evening newspapers and online news outlets on the same day.
So half an hour later, residents all over South Korea could see this kind of rebuttal news.
Once these evening newspapers were published and updated on major online news platforms, these rebuttals were widely seen by residents throughout South Korea.
Chapter 266 Ni Yongjun wants to use the principle of bad money driving out good money, so let's play along.
"Humph."
"Trying to defeat truth with numbers?"
"Trying to exploit the Gresham's Law (bad money drives out good money)?"
"It's a beautiful thought."
Lee Dong-ki of Samsung Financial saw the evening paper and found a rebuttal. He then looked at several other regional evening papers, and each one contained a different rebuttal.
After discovering the miracle and making his move, he walked into the office of Chairman Zheng Zhouyong of Yamato, saying with a sneer.
"Chairman Yamato, take a look at the headline of the '240' Evening News."
"All the news articles are rebuttals; the news center is saying that Yamato Motors is blind and doesn't recognize the strength of the Korean football team."
