Chapter 7 CR Seven & D Nine

At noon on Saturday, Ronaldo brought his son to Dong Fangzhuo's home from London.

The sons of the two people went to the football field early to play. Now their sons have entered the Manchester United echelon at the same time and did not choose Southampton.

"Those two boys look like us when we were young."

"I wonder if they will be like us in 10 years?"

Ronaldo sighed.

"Which aspect are you talking about? Achievement?"

"This is not necessarily the case. Not every player can work as hard as us, and not be as lucky as us. Sons inherit the legacy of their fathers and can reach such heights. In my memory, I only remember Maldini."

"Actually, I don't really care. Anyway, we are not as poor as before. He has many opportunities to choose from."

Thinking of his childhood life, Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes are always full of emotion. Although Cristiano Ronaldo's life was very difficult at that time, he was the most idealistic time.

"Honestly, have you ever thought about retiring?"

Ronaldo suddenly looked at Dong Fangzhuo.

"Retired?"

"Sometimes I think about it, but I always feel that I am far from retiring. What about you?"

"I've thought about it, probably after the age of 35, maybe later. When I can't play anymore, I will stop."

"Absolutely, maybe we can play until we're 40?"

"Then our children will probably be on the same team as us, haha!"

The two of them were walking on Dong Fangzhuo's private golf course and chatting very relaxedly.

Then it came to Messi again.

"The fans have been shouting too loudly recently, but our fans have never been angry. My car was almost attacked this morning. Some fans are very extreme."

"Maybe because Messi always loses?"

"Well, competitive sports are so cruel, there are no two winners. If I can't lead Manchester United to continue to achieve the desired results within three years, I may not play. I will go to Southampton, so there is no pressure."

"I can't. When I can't play, I just quit. I don't want others to ridicule me!" Ronaldo's self-esteem is still very strong, "But again, I will stay at the top for at least 3-5 years."

Although the two often have their own masters, their friendship has not changed.

"Didn't you also take the exam for a coaching certificate? How is your progress now? Will you pick up a coaching post after retirement?"

"Why not, if I leave football, I think I will die. I'm already preparing to take the B-level exam, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"What about you, what will you do if you retire?"

"I will definitely not be a coach. If I wanted to be a coach, I would have invested in advance like you. I will work hard in the business circle and invest in various personal brands. By the way, are you interested in joining me? Do something together? I can leave you half of the shares. Recently I am trying to build a personal brand hotel. I originally thought of calling it CR7, but now I want to bring you in. Let’s call it CR7&D9? To commemorate us Great camaraderie.”

Dong Fangzhuo was moved. He didn't expect Ronaldo to think of himself in this matter. Suddenly he felt a little selfish. When he acquired Southampton, he didn't consider Ronaldo, but now Ronaldo has become bigger. When doing business, he is the first person I think of.

How could he have the nerve to refuse?

"Thanks,"

"Then do it, but I also want to make a suggestion. In terms of shares, you account for 51%, and I will calculate 49%. And if you are interested in Southampton, you can also participate in the shares. I won't hide it. You, I will make Southampton to the top level. But considering this is about our country, you can only account for 49%."

"Seriously?" Ronaldo was obviously moved, but then there was a hint of darkness.

"But I don't have that much money now..."

At that moment, he was still a little shy. In front of Dong Fangzhuo, he really had no money. Don’t look at the fact that he is now one of the top three highest-paid players in world football.

But when compared with Dong Fangzhuo, Messi and he are simply not on the same level.

Dong Fangzhuo's annual income is at least 10 to 30 times that of theirs, so Dong Fangzhuo can easily acquire Southampton, but Ronaldo cannot. Now Southampton's market value has soared to more than 300 million. If Ronaldo wants to get 49% of the shares, he will have to spend at least 150 million pounds.

That’s why Cristiano Ronaldo feels so cash-strapped...

In front of most people, Ronaldo is extremely rich, but in front of Dong Fangzhuo, he can only cry about being poor.

"It's okay if you don't have money. You can use your money to focus on your side first, and you will treat me as a debtor. Money is not an issue."

Money is not an issue. Ronaldo rolled his eyes. He has never felt so poor. It seems like I am really poor.

So don’t pretend to have money in front of Dong Fangzhuo...

"Okay, let's do it." Ronaldo was not polite.

Such a large deal was easily completed in front of them. If the news spreads, it will definitely cause a huge shock.

The two people didn't just talk, and then immediately called Mendes. Mendes was not only their agent, but also the big steward of their two businesses. It can be said that he was almost in charge of these two people. economic lifeline.

The two of them told Mendes their idea, but Mendes was not surprised.

"You two move me so much and I think it's perfect."

"Farke,"

"This is gay friendship." Mendes seemed really touched.

"I've watched you two grow from teenagers to now, and I know your feelings. Haha, am I getting old? Time flies so fast."

Mendes rubbed his eyes and quickly continued talking about business matters.

"Ronaldo, then I will change the hotel trademark to CR7&D9."

"No, put D9 in front of you." Ronaldo interrupted.

"No, you have to be in front, because you are the one taking the lead. No matter what, it can't be me." Dong Fangzhuo expressed firm opposition.

It is also learned to put the name first and last. The first name is definitely more important. This is very intuitive. Dong Fangzhuo did not want others to misunderstand that Ronaldo was following him, but he followed Ronaldo himself. This was a sign of respect for Ronaldo.

"Okay, I also think what Dong said is reasonable. This matter has been settled. The other matter is about the movie."

"The time you two spent at Manchester United was very important. Ronaldo, have you chosen a role? Dong has already finalized it."

"No...but I think he must be like me in character, and he must act emotionally."

"I think that one in Hollywood...who is that? I can't remember the name."

"let me think again,"

"Ah, the protagonist of Spider-Man? The young one."
