Wang Shuo had originally thought that signing a contract with a Fortune 500 company would be a complicated affair.
It turned out not to be.
The two parties reviewed the contract. On Wang Shuo's end, Thomas Essien had a professional lawyer look it over.
With everything in order, they signed the preliminary draft.
The entire process was surprisingly quick.
By the day before Mainz was set to travel to Berlin for their away match against Hertha Berlin, all the contracts had been finalized.
So, the signing ceremony was scheduled to take place in Frankfurt.
There was no helping it; Mainz was just a small town.
Besides, when the press release went out, the name "Frankfurt" carried more weight and seemed more impressive.
This time, Thomas Essien had targeted KFC and Coca-Cola.
And he had actually managed to land deals with both.
At first, Wang Shuo was left wondering, 'When did Thomas Essien get so damn good?'
