Chapter 849 - 17: Documentary Premiere! Who Says Having Lots of People Is Bad? It’s Fantastic! Ma’el Company Established!

In a rapid advance, he slipped past two players in succession and took a big stride towards the penalty area, executing a pendulum dribble against the oncoming goalkeeper.

After the opponent lost balance, he abruptly changed direction inward, completely bypassing the goalkeeper.

At the moment before shooting, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, revealing his big white teeth to the wide-open goal.

"Bang!"

With a playful close-range shot, he blasted the ball to the center of the net and then spread his arms, sprinting across the field again.

"Yeah...Yeah..."

Facing the West Ham United players, he threw the farmer’s three punches, leaping and shouting "Yeah.....!!" on the final swing.

After landing, he placed both index fingers over his mouth, signifying two goals while simultaneously asking them to shut up for the second time.

"Vamos...!"

"Come on.....!"

The other Arsenal players came running up in a frenzy, shouting, seeming as if they had stumbled into a zoo.

The merry man Sagna even sang as he ran, "Every day I see you once.....my most passionate love.....!!"

"Hahaha!"

All the players gathered to celebrate wildly, their smiles captured by the cameras broadcasting from every angle, later converted into post-match reports.

"Arsenal beats West Ham United 5-1! Coquelin scores his first goal of the new season as a substitute in the final moments! Ma’el continues his two-goal performance, with 14 goals in 6 appearances!" — Sky Sports column

"Who says this person isn’t good? This person is too good!" — Sun

"Shut.....!" Arsenal fans’ social media posts a picture of a single finger salute with Ma’el’s ’shut up’ celebration

"Suggest the Premier League schedule be tighter, especially around the Christmas period with that kind of grueling fixture just fine, ideally playing a match every 2 days (silly laugh)." — Highly rated comment below the match report

"Why not just give Arsenal the trophy? Never fought such a prosperous battle in this lifetime!" — Someone replies

"The bus of other teams (top picture), Arsenal Team’s bus (bottom picture)! Laughing my head off!" — Someone replies

"First: Arsenal, 15 points; Second: Chelsea, 13 points; Third: Manchester United, 13 points; Fourth: Manchester City, 12 points." — Premier League standings after 5 rounds

...

"Yes.....!"

On September 20, one day after the league ended, a group of people joyfully gathered at the entrance of a two-story villa on a corner of the street.

A long red ribbon was raised, surrounded by many media reporters and passing pedestrians.

Ma’el stood at the center of the crowd, conducting the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

He heard from Jose that such a ceremony was initially set up to prevent crowds from rushing towards a ship before its launch, causing stampedes, with the cords eventually changed to ribbons used in symbolic beginnings.

"Snap.....!"

He smiled, cutting the ribbon with scissors, and beside him, Jose and others lit fireworks, illuminating the entire street, enveloping the area in a warm and joyful atmosphere.

Maier Company, today was finally officially founded.

The 19 employees of Football Record, 7 members of Isabella Primacy’s brand decision team, along with 7 others he contacted, and 4 social media operations and public relations team members sent by Mendes would work here!

Including his team of 5, although still living at his house, they would have workstations here, available to come over whenever time allows.

This company would initially operate with Isabella, Mendes’s UK agent Pepe?o, and Peter and Amelia from Football Record as the initial executors, responsible for various matters.

It held 78% of Football Record’s shares, 78% of Primacy’s shares, still negotiating with 10% of Instagram’s shares, along with 100% of Ma’el’s image rights, among other various interests!

Ma’el also invested 35 million Pounds into it, using it as his money bag.

This was half of his current cash; when founding the company, he calculated that if maintained as it was, the company would generate at least 55 million Pounds of post-tax income annually for him; if it went higher, then it would be hard to say.

And this minimum income would rank him in the top 8 on last year’s Forbes athlete income list!

Only behind superstars like Tiger Woods, Federer, Kobe, James, Messi and Ronaldo from various industries!

"Congratulations!"

"Best wishes.....!"

Amid laughter, Ma’el entered the new company with a social media operation and public relations ace named Sedes, discussing the future operations plan.

"I think there’s still 30-40% potential awaiting exploration; nearly a hundred million fans aren’t your limit."

Sedes had anticipation written across his face for the new job; Ma’el had offered him the highest 10k weekly pay in the PR operations department, plus various bonuses.

He thought if he did well here, the income generated could potentially allow him to retire early.

"Increasing fame and influence will be our work focus in the future, along with maintaining fan engagement, community development, and promoting various activities."

Sedes had a wealth of experience; he previously worked for numerous celebrities in the United States in similar roles, "Comparatively, PR isn’t most important currently; you rarely encounter negative reviews.

"But as I observe the sports circle, PR is something that eventually needs attention.

"You gradually reach the pinnacle, clashing inevitably with Messi and Ronaldo; your fandoms might clash with his, and compete.

"Sometimes, their competition might be more direct, intense, and even more ruthless.

"This might affect you, leading to some negative commentary, and some might even deliberately smear, slander you; these instances are quite common.

"Hence, we need a long-term plan and a clear strategy; I’ll later send you a detailed report."

Listening to him, Ma’el nodded continuously, finally smiling and said: "I trust you’ll handle these well; hopefully, you’ll let me have no worries."

"Absolutely!"

Continuing forward, admiring the new building, savoring the fun of becoming a boss, Ma’el took a breath of fresh air, feeling very good.

From having nothing to having 42 top talents from various sectors collectively serve him in the soccer world, utilizing everything he gained in soccer to develop his company; it took him only 2 years.

When retiring, who knows, he might see an even larger collective all because of the name ’Ma’el,’ drawn to this big IP, working for him.

Continue to strive in your main career, and with everything now complete, you just need to wait for these lines to gradually develop.
