Receiving views in millions, likes in thousands, Hiro's short post match interview blew up. It was unlike any event before.
An interview of a fourteen year old kid receiving this much attention and appreciation was truly phenonal. And given the response he had garnered, not only ordinary peoples but even so brands took notice of him.
The next day, early in the morning when manager Makoto had just returned to his cabinet after morning training, he noticed countless calls from unidentified sources.
"Who could they be?"
Picking up his phone, he pondered as he began to scroll down with sowhat flabbergasted and doubtful expression.
As he scrolled down, he noticed that the calls weren't the only thing that he had received. There were a lot of ssages as well.
Brrr!! Brrr!!
Just when he was about to open up a ssage, his phone started ringing. The number on the screen, once again was unidentifiable.
Yet, even so, he picked the call with sowhat confused and dubious look on his face.
No sooner had he picked the call, a feminine voice resonated from the phone, "Hello sir, I'm Nanao Hoshimura, spokesperson of Mizuno. Would you be willing to spare so of your ti to discuss a potential brand endorsent deal for one of your players?"
**** ****
The atmosphere in the sleek, modern conference room was serene as Hiro sat poised along with manager Makoto who had volunteered to co with him.
The room was rather bright and the ambience was quite serene and quite; given its location at a major hub.
Suddenly, a lady dressed immaculately in a tailored navy suit entered the room, exuding an air of confidence and authority.
Imdiately, manager Makoto stood upright as he began to prepare his greeting to address this lady who was accompanied by few other n immaculately dressed in office suit.
Hiro too followed suit as he stood up from his chair.
Before arriving here, he had already been inford about the potential brand endorsent offer he had received from the one of the famous Japanese sports brand called Mizuno.
With a large market share, it was one of the dominating sports brand wear in all over Japan. And currently, he was going to discuss a potential brand endorsent contract with this famous sports brand.
Just to receive such an offer was quite unbelievable given his age. Thus, right now, Hiro was quite excited about this eting.
But because of his age, he right now needed an acting guardian who could take his responsibility. And since both Eric and his parents were unavailable at the mont, manager Makoto had volunteered to be his acting guardian in their stead.
Displaying a sweet smile on her face, the lady greeted him and manager Makoto, "It's a pleasure to et you manager Makoto. And we are delighted to have you here Hiro"
"I called you about discussing a potential brand endorsent this morning, I hope you rember manager Makoto"
Laughing out loud, manager Makoto answered, "Hahaha, of course I rember you"
"Then shall we sit and discuss?" pointing at the chair, she offered in an amicable manner.
"Sure, sure" manager Makoto replied as he took his seat.
No sooner had they taken their seats, those n who had accompanied her handed a contract. And the lady in turn handed those contract to manager Makoto and Hiro.
"Ahh before we proceed further I have already inford both your parents and your agent. And both of them have decided to go on with your decision Hiro."
"Also I have already sent a copy of those contract to your agent. And he had found no flaws in it. Still if you'd like to add or remove so things, do tell ?"
The lady dressed in suit spoke.
The lady had really co prepared and by the looks of how she was handling this situation, it seed like she really knew what she was doing.
After a mont of going through the lengthy contract, neither manager Makoto nor Hiro found any faults in it. And the requirents of the contract wasn't exaggerating either.
In fact, one could even say that this contract was prepared with utmost care and concern for Hiro.
The duration of the contract wasn't long. And it only lasted until his eighteenth birthday. Though there was a clause that allowed him to renew and extend the contract.
Also the pay was good.
But there was one thing a little bit unsatisfactory to Hiro. He had shoot advertisent and he had to attend so events organized by the company.
The lady spokesperson imdiately caught the whiff of his dissatisfaction. So to appease his dissatisfaction, she tried to reassure him.
"As the spokesperson of our esteed sports brand based in Japan, it is my duty to ensure our company aligns itself with the best talents, those who embody our core values of perseverance, excellence and determination" she began as her word resonated with conviction.
"And we have found those qualities in Hiro. Through our thorough analysis, we have found that you could be the next superstar erging from our nation. So while taking such thoughts into consideration, we have prepared this contract with utmost concern and importance"
Pausing briefly, she continued with her voice taking a hint of urgency, "So I hope we both can co to an agreent without much alteration, since we have already given you the privilege that no other companies in this field could offer"
Manager Makoto upon hearing her word, nodded his head in satisfaction as he agreed with her. In fact, a contract like this for a fourteen year old kid was already miraculous.
Not only the pay was great, the company was even allocating him so shares and percentage in the net sales profit. Not to ntion about the vision and ideas the company had planned with Hiro in the lead.
They were going to make him one of the key figure. It was truly marvelous. A contract Hiro would regret upon refusing.
Although those clause relating to advertisents, bugged him. Nevertheless Hiro accepted the contract with a smile on his face as he presented his verdict after going through the contract, "I'd be happy to join this amazing organization"
Upon hearing those words, her face blossod like a flower as an intense feeling of elation overca her, "Thank you for deciding to sign with us. You've made the right choice."
Extending her hands forward, she spoke with her eyes glistening with joy, "Takahashi Hiro, welco onboard. We look forward to working with you"
Reflecting the passion and joy, Hiro extended his arms as he grabbed hers, "I'll be under your care mam. Please take care of "
