Godfather Of Champions

    Chapter 146 New Sponsorship·Speaker (Part 2)

    "Toni? Toni? ”Evan's voice came.

    ‘Ah –? Evan? What's upThe reaction to Twain saw Allen laughing at himself, laughing very mysteriously.

    "Mm."Is this the case, remember the gift you gave us last Christmas? The idea of ​​the player database? ”

    Twain nodded.  When he mentioned this, he was very angry. The company that the United States of America did did not meet his requirements. At first glance, it was made by people who did not understand football.  After the trial, he once asked the other party to modify it. The result of the revision still could not satisfy him. He simply terminated the cooperation with the other party and put the plan on hold.

    "We also know that the previous one was really bad…So Allen re-find a company and they promised to do this data system for us.  ”

    Twain raised his own question: "Do they have anything to prove their abilities?"

    Evan signaled Allen to say.  Allen nodded to Twain: "Toni, I think you will be satisfied with this company.  They are local companies in the United Kingdom, si.  ”

    When I heard the name, Twain stumbled.  si si The Champion Football Manager series that once developed the world of popularity, and the production team of the later fm series games – sports_interactive ? Allen will find this company! Twain is increasingly admiring this United States of America.

    Seeing Twain's expression, Allen knew he was right.  "They agreed to do more cooperation with us, not just this one.  After I found it, they asked us more cooperation requests, I think maybe you will be very interested.  ”

    Twain Look at Shania, who stands aside and looks bored: "Shania, are you going to find them to sign? You reported my name, no one dared to refuse.  Ah, in fact, you just have to smile at them.  They will be obedient! ”

    Evan and Allen laughed.

    The wise Shania knew that Twain had something to talk about now, and he was not very good here, so he nodded and turned and walked into the crowd.

    Twain just turned back and pointed to a group of sofas in front: "We used to sit and talk.  ”

    Three people sat down and Twain asked: "What is the cooperation plan?"

    "They want to be one of our sponsors, but not for money, but for technology sponsorship.  In other words, this database is not a single version, they are responsible for maintaining upgrades and development functions more powerful and complete…"

    Twain nodded and understood.

    And then  They hope that you can become the image spokesperson for their newly developed Football Manager 2007 (fm2007).  ”

    This request was not expected by Twain. He took a long time to make sure that Allen was not joking or he was wrong.

    I? Spokesperson? ”

    "Yes, there is no pay, because we are a cooperative relationship, as they return the sponsorship of our system – they have not received our money.  ”

    Twain was silent for a while and fell into meditation.  He is carefully searching all the information about the si and fm series in his mind as a qualified football manager series game, starting with ea's earliest fifa96.  Always playing to cm and fm, he knows that the fm series is a product after the separation of si and eidos.

    At the time, cm was always responsible for development, and eidos was only a publisher. Later, the two sides chose to separate for some reason.  Eidos inherited the cm name and interface operation familiarity, they chose to let another group that had developed "Vilaly Football Manager" to continue to make cm.  And si inherits a huge player data system and game source code.

    Their two companies should have broken up last year, the classic cm0304 is the last game of cooperation between the two companies.  Then they went their separate ways.

    Eidos is a veteran game company with a lot of resources available, not to mention the name and logo of the cm.  It is equivalent to continuing this series.  And si is re-starting, except for the player data and source code, they have nothing, the start is critical.  Last month, Si's new football game game "fm05", which was developed over a year, was sold in United Kingdom. Compared with cm, this is a new game completely out of the game and the market. They urgently need better. Promotion.

    At this time, Allen just found Si and hoped that they would create a database for the Forest team.  This allowed Si to see a new propaganda position.

    For the company of Si, which has a network of more than 2,500 research and research personnel around the world.  It's very easy to make such a database according to the requirements of the Forest team. Instead, it is more important to take advantage of this opportunity to pull a strategic partnership with an English Premier League team.  Although Si has previously sponsored the newly formed Wimbledon team, it is only because of the support of a club with a full set of fans, no commercial attempt.

    Twain put together these antecedents and made it clear.  Although he is a football coach, it is quite interesting to take the time to be a game spokesperson, isn't it?

    So he nodded: "I have no problem, but how do they need me to speak?"

    "Yes.  There is a plan for a print ad for the time being.  And attend a press conference where their company announced that we are working with us.  In addition, your image will be used on the new factory cover.  ”

    “Is there no shooting plan for TV commercials?”Twain is a bit disappointed.  He thought of the TV commercial for the live football of the current Japanese National Team Manager's Brazilian Zico.  It seems that time is earlier than him. It seems that he can't get the title of "the first person on the TV in the football coach's endorsement game"…

    Evan smiled and said: "Toni, are you thinking about changing careers so soon? This depends on their budget, a new company, and there is not much money at this time.  ”

    Twain scratches his head.  Although I can't experience the feeling of acting in TV commercials, I can make my own image appear on the cover of the game that will be popular in the world. His vanity is satisfied.

    "As for other more collaborative projects, they will be slowly considered in the future.  Now Toni, you agree. After Christmas, I can answer si.  I think they out of the data system, you will be satisfied.  ”

    Twain smiled and said: "Allen, you seem to know very well about si.  ”

    "I have specifically investigated it, and I can't make another mistake like that."  Allen smiled and replied.

    After talking about the business, Evan Doughty, next to him, raised the glass: "Okay, let us forget about those things for the time being."  Merry Christmas, Toni, Allen.  Thank you for your hard work over the years.  ”

    "Yes, you give money, we work.  Twain raised his glass, "Cheers."  Everyone is Merry Christmas, I think we will have a better mood to sit down together next year.  ”

    The three wine glasses slammed together and made a crisp sound.
