Chapter 405: Take as Much as You Can

Li Qing then signed endorsement contracts and shot graphic promotional pictures with many internationally renowned companies. Anping Insurance's annual endorsement fee is 3.5 million euros, and the contract is for 4 years. He signed a 3-year contract with PepsiCo, with an annual endorsement fee of 2.8 million euros.

He signed a 3-year contract with Xuanmai chewing gum, with a total of 10 million euros, which is 3.333 million euros per year. He signed a 3-year contract with Liji Automobile, with an annual endorsement fee of 5.5 million euros.

Up to now, Li Qing can get a total of 53.833 million euros in endorsement fees before tax every year. If he completes the contract and personal salary treatment with Nanling Airlines, his pre-tax income will reach 80 million euros!

The advertising income of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, the big names in the football world, is calculated in euros before tax. Li Qing is confident that he can reach this number after the World Cup!

Due to limited time, Li Qing's contract with Nanling Airlines will be signed at the Imperial Capital Hotel after the warm-up match between England and the Chinese men's football team is over. According to Mendes, it is 8 million euros a year, and the two parties have signed a three-year contract.

If the contract is signed, the annual pre-tax income will exceed 80 million euros.

Converted into Tianchao currency, he will be a billionaire!

By then, luxury sports cars, private jets, and real estate around the world will be indispensable!

Li Qing returned to the hotel at 3 pm. Since he had asked for leave from head coach Southgate in advance, he returned to the hotel to prepare for the last warm-up match before the World Cup at the Workers' Stadium in the capital at 7:30 pm.

The England team originally planned to take a bus to the Workers' Stadium at 6 pm. Considering that the capital was in the rush hour at this time, the departure time was half an hour earlier. Fortunately, it was earlier, otherwise it would have arrived at the Workers' Stadium at nearly 7 pm.

"aoaooaoaooaooooooooo——"

As soon as the bus arrived and drove into the periphery of the Workers' Stadium, fans discovered their arrival and burst into huge cheers, which became as violent as a tsunami in a very short time.

"Li Qing! Li Qing! Li Qing!"

Li Qing, who was resting with his eyes closed, heard the fans on both sides of the road shouting his name loudly. He turned his head and looked out the transparent glass window. Hundreds of fans surrounded by security personnel held up posters, banners and slogans of him wearing Liverpool jerseys or England jerseys, shouting hysterically.

Li Qing waved and greeted the lovely fans. One of them had bright eyes and shouted: "Look, Li Qing is greeting us!"

"Li Qing! Li Qing! Li Qing!!"

The shouting became louder and louder with the excitement of the fans, like a tsunami.

After a while, the bus stopped at the designated location, and the fans who had been waiting for Li Qing became excited instantly, continuing the fanatical atmosphere.

Li Qing got off the bus behind his teammates. The reporter kept pressing the camera button in his hand. The fans shouted wildly and pressed the camera button on their mobile phones to save the beautiful moments in their mobile phone albums.

"Li Qing! Li Qing!!"

The familiar Chinese language made Li Qing feel a sense of belonging. He subconsciously stopped and raised his thumbs to the lovely fans in response.

Since the game was not long away, Li Qing did not stay at the entrance for too long. About two minutes later, he followed the team to the inner passage leading to the visiting team's locker room to prepare for the warm-up match that was about to start.

Compared with the previous warm-up match held at the new Wembley Stadium, this match obviously required a large number of main players to be sent out to ensure that the main players' condition could be maintained until the start of the World Cup.

As a signed star of Nike, the sponsor that promoted the warm-up match between England and China's men's football teams, Li Qing must play for no less than 45 minutes in this match at the Workers' Stadium, so Southgate put Li Qing in the starting lineup and waited until the second half of the game to replace him.

Players from both sides came to the stadium from the locker room to warm up one after another. The Workers' Stadium, which can accommodate 64,000 fans, was almost full. The empty seats were filled at a speed visible to the naked eye, thus achieving a truly full house.

Li Qing, who came to the stadium with his teammates, looked up at the audience. Not to mention 80%, at least nearly half of the fans came to this stadium to support him and took this rare opportunity to satirize the incompetence of the Football Association.

According to the news revealed by Lu Lu, a well-known reporter of Dongqiudi last year and acknowledged by Li Qing, Li Qing had waited for a period of time for a positive response from the Chinese Football Association, even a statement, but the flowers were affectionate and the water was not interested. The technical director of the English Football Association, Les Reid, visited him three times, so Li Qing, whose passport and nationality are Great Britain, finally decided to represent England in the World Series.

During the warm-up, Li Qing not only greeted the Chinese fans in the audience, but also noticed that many Chinese men's football players looked at him intentionally or unintentionally. There were envy, jealousy, and resentment in these balls...

It was already very hot in early June. Even if it was close to seven o'clock in the evening, the players were sweating profusely after running for a while. The warm-up time lasted about half an hour, and the players of both sides had to go back to the locker room to take a comfortable warm bath.

Of course, warm water baths are for the highly professional English players, while the Chinese male football players who seek comfort use cold water.

…

About ten minutes before the start of the game, the players from both sides came out of their respective locker rooms one after another. The main players stayed in the player tunnel, while the substitutes went straight to the bench on the field.

Li Qing is now England's top star, so he naturally stands at the back of the team.

Wu Sanshi is the top scorer in the Chinese Super League this season, and he is the top star, but he looks at Li Qing with envy.

Li Qing noticed someone looking at him, turned his head, and his eyes met Wu Sanshi. He smiled and stretched out his right hand, saying in Chinese: "Wu, the King of Football, hello."

Wu Sanshi obviously didn't expect that Li Qing, the emperor of world football, would take the initiative to greet him. He was a little flattered, but his reaction was fast, and he quickly shook Li Qing's right hand: "You are the King of Football, I am just an ordinary player."

Li Qing smiled, and saw that Wu Xi, a Chinese international player he liked very much before, turned his head to look at him, and turned to raise his hand to Wu Xi: "Hello, Wu Xi."

"You...you know me?"

Wu Xi was very surprised. He didn't expect that the world-renowned Li Qing knew his name, and he quickly shook Li Qing's outstretched right hand with both hands.

"Of course, you are a midfielder I like very much, you are capable and hardworking."

"Hehe..."

Wu Xi smiled foolishly. Li Qing felt that it would be a bit bad not to shake hands with Wu Sanshi and Wu Xi and express his gratitude to other players. It happened that the referee team led the ball into the court at this time, so he quickly returned to the queue and walked into the court with the ball boy.

This scene was captured by the live director. He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, smiled and said: "It was harmonious before the game, but I don't know if Li Qing will show mercy in the next game?"

"What's there to show mercy? Score as many goals as you can!"

The commentator Xu Yang said loudly: "It's to let those officials of the Football Association see what level of player they missed!"
