Chapter 443: Light of Asia

At this time, Lin Feng also got out of the car. Anyway, he almost hit someone just now. Li Rui, as the driver, had already apologized, but Li Rui almost hit someone because of his emotional excitement, so he had to show his humility.

Of course. Of course, Lin Feng also wanted to see who this person was. He was so skilled that he could cross over from the Mercedes-Benz S600. This was similar to the memory of Kobe Bryant flying over the oncoming Aston Martin sports car.

How wonderful.

"Hey!" The visitor was surprised when he saw Lin Feng. He didn't expect that the boss in this car was so young.

"Hey!" Lin Feng was also stunned. He didn't expect it to be him, it was him!

"Hey..." Before Lin Feng could say hello to him, the visitor curled his lips helplessly and ran away.

"Li Rui, get in the car and catch up with him." Lin Feng wanted to catch up with him himself, but looking at his running speed, Lin Feng knew that he would never be able to catch up with this person in his life, so he quickly got in the car and asked Li Rui to drive after him.

After Li Rui was stunned for a moment, he got into the car.

"Boss, it was just a misunderstanding. His foot didn't damage the Mercedes-Benz S600. We can just go to the garage to repair it. There is no need to go to him to compensate! Besides, he is not a rich man." Li Rui said to him just now.

The man had a good impression. Seeing that Lin Feng wanted to chase him, he was afraid that Lin Feng would cause trouble for him.

"Haha, Li Rui, you are my driver and bodyguard, so you are talking to others like this. Well, I don't want him to compensate, I have other things to ask him for." Lin Feng shook his head and said with a smile.

Li Rui took a closer look at Lin Feng and saw that he did not have any displeasure. He was relieved and quickly drove to chase the person he had just taken. If Lin Feng really wanted to pursue the other person for crushing the Mercedes-Benz S600, he really didn't know.

How to handle it well. Fortunately, this boss is not as bullying as other wealthy people. This also makes Li Rui and others even more grateful that the boss they work for is worth serving.

As the Mercedes-Benz S600 sped forward, Lin Feng had a smile on his face.

I didn't expect to meet him when I came out today. How could this man keep forgetting me? No, I must sign him, I must! - Lin Feng clenched his fists and urged Li Rui to chase after him with excitement.

Although people can run fast, they can't run faster than cars. It didn't take long before Li Rui drove up to catch up with the man.

The man heard the car horn honking behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that it was the Mercedes-Benz S600 that almost hit him just now. He frowned and stopped. Although he had no money to pay, he would not choose to escape.

The car stopped, and Lin Feng walked out of the car with an excited look on his face.

"Sir, I admit that I stepped on the car intentionally. If you want me to compensate, I will accept the compensation. But I don't have the money now, but I will definitely have the money to compensate you in the future." The man frowned and did not hide himself.

The motive of deliberate revenge is very straightforward.

Lin Feng smiled.

"I think you may have misunderstood. I didn't come after you to compensate you." Lin Feng shrugged and said with a smile.

The man breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it would cost several thousand yuan to repair a hole caused by stepping on it. His family was not really wealthy.

"Haha, if I guess correctly, you should be - Liu Xiang! I wonder if I can buy you a cup of coffee and chat by the way?" Lin Feng said the name of this person excitedly, he is the Light of Asia.

——Liu Xiang.

Speaking of Liu Xiang, Lin Feng believes that all Chinese and even Asians know him. He is a Grand Slam winner in the men's 110-meter hurdles who has tied the Olympic record, broken the world record, and become an Olympic champion, world championship champion and world record holder.

.More importantly, his appearance broke the dominance of white athletes and black athletes in the 110-meter hurdles, and he was called the Light of Asia by media from various Asian countries.

Lin Feng did not expect that he would accidentally "bump into" Liu Xiang here, a young man who would dominate the 110-meter hurdles in Asia and compete with experts from all over the world. Of course, Liu Xiang is not famous yet, he just won the World University Games

The champion, the National Games champion. It really started to shine three months later, on July 2, 2002, at the IAAF Grand Prix in Lausanne, Switzerland, with a time of 13.12 seconds, breaking the 24-year-old record.

110-meter hurdles world youth record, breaking the Asian record at the same time.

Of course, what made Liu Xiang completely famous was two years later, at the Athens Olympics, Liu Xiang tied the world record set by British player Colin Jackson in 1993 with 12.91 seconds, breaking the Olympic record of 12.95 seconds. And he

The gold medal won was also the first track and field gold medal won by a Chinese male athlete at the Olympics.

Now that he has "bumped into" Liu Xiang, Lin Feng will naturally not let him go. Thinking about his future popularity in Asia, Lin Feng has no reason to let Liu Xiang go. What's more, Lin Feng personally admires Liu Xiang very much. In 2006, he held in Shanghai

At the China Sports Figure Award Ceremony, Liu Xiang did not thank this or that like other winners, saying a lot of false words of gratitude. His first words made people feel excited.

——I stand here today and receive this award. First of all, I want to thank myself. Because of my own efforts, I can stand here today...

This speech is indeed a bit arrogant, but Lin Feng appreciates it. Indeed, coaches are very important, but there have always been so many coaches and so many athletes in Chinese track and field. Why are there only a few who can win Olympic gold medals, and only Liu Xiang among men?

A man has won an Olympic gold medal in track and field. This is the strength he gained through his own efforts.

"Sir, do you know me?" Liu Xiang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this young and shameless Mercedes-Benz S600 owner would actually know him.

"Haha, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Lin Feng, the president of 'Second World'." Lin Feng introduced.

"Oh, you are Lin Feng, I know you, the Chinese owner of the Houston Rockets." Liu Xiang suddenly realized and exclaimed. Although he is a track and field athlete, besides track and field, his favorite thing is basketball, and he can also dunk himself.

, naturally also likes to watch NBA. How could he not know the news that Lin Feng acquired the Houston Rockets?

"Haha, Liu Xiang, get in the car and find a place to talk." Lin Feng invited.

"Okay, Director Lin invites you, don't hesitate." Liu Xiang smiled and opened the car door and got in.

While chatting casually with Liu Xiang, Lin Feng and others went to an outdoor cafe on the Bund in Shanghai.

"Liu Xiang, you are a straightforward person, and I won't talk in circles with you anymore. I would like to invite you to be the spokesperson of my company. What do you think?" Lin Feng said straight to the point. Don't talk to a person with such a character as Liu Xiang.

Go in circles, otherwise it will arouse his disgust, there is no need.

"Look for me, I'm just a 110-meter hurdler, and I'm not famous." Liu Xiang was stunned and pointed at himself in disbelief.

"Haha, it's okay if I say yes. What's more, what I care about is not the present, but your future. I believe you will be successful in the future and become number one in the country, Asia, and the world." Lin Feng said with a smile.

Liu Xiang was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Lin Feng to be so optimistic about him.

"Well, but my management team is the China Athletics Association, I'm afraid I can't make the final decision in these aspects." Liu Xiang said.

"Don't worry, as long as you are personally willing, I will resolve it with the Athletics Association. By the way, this is a simple contract. Take a look. If there are no problems, we will reach a verbal agreement first, and then I will go to the Athletics Association to talk to you again.

Officially signed." Lin Feng took out an initial agreement prepared for Yao Ming from his briefcase.

Liu Xiang opened it and looked at it, and was shocked. The contract gave him an endorsement fee of up to 2 million yuan per year, and the contract was for five years. This really surprised Liu Xiang. He did not expect that Lin Feng would offer him such a generous contract.

"Director Lin, this is too generous. Am I really worth this price?" Liu Xiang asked directly without being hypocritical.

"Haha, you are definitely not worth it now, but it may be more than this price in the future. I will renew your contract in advance. If you are afraid of feeling guilty, you can repay me by training harder and striving for better results."

Lin Feng said with a smile.

After hearing this, Liu Xiang nodded, then raised his head, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Don't worry, Director Lin, I will never let you down. I will definitely make this contract worth your money in the future." Liu Xiang vowed.

Lin Feng nodded, this couldn't be better.

"By the way, I will also hire a nutritionist, a masseur, and a full-time athlete injury doctor for you to ensure your health." Lin Feng thought of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, when Liu Xiang retired due to injury.

The helpless expression turned into a sigh.

The reason why Liu Xiang was injured was due to an injury caused during a competition in the United States in May 2008, but the fundamental reason was that when he was not famous enough in the early days, the corresponding nutrition, physical therapy and medical care did not keep up. Before Liu Xiang, domestic

No one has ever run under 13 seconds. His coach Sun Haiping has figured out how to train, but how to ensure his health, the domestic medical level has not kept up.

This time, Lin Feng will never let Liu Xiang make the same mistake again. Liu Xiang will never fall down on the field due to injuries. There will be only one Liu Xiang in Asia.

"Director Lin, thank you very much for this." Liu Xiang was also not polite. He knew the medical level of the track and field team best. It is inevitable that domestic people would not pay much attention to an event that is not outstanding, not to mention that in terms of protecting athletes from injuries, the level abroad

It is indeed higher than that in China. Of course, I have remembered Lin Feng's kindness in my heart, and I will repay it not with words, but with achievements and actions.

After bidding farewell to Liu Xiang, Lin Feng contacted the Athletics Association to discuss signing Liu Xiang to become the spokesperson of "Second World". Liu Xiang is not yet famous, and the Athletics Association was really surprised by Lin Feng's price of 2 million yuan per year to sign Liu Xiang.

In the commercial promotion of athletes of the Athletics Association, according to regulations, athletes receive 50%, coaches 15%, the local sports bureau that trains athletes accounts for 20%, and the Chinese Athletics Association retains 15%. In this way, the Athletics Association can also receive 30% every year.

Ten thousand yuan, this is a considerable amount of income for the Athletics Association.

What made Lin Feng dumbfounded was that the Athletics Association unexpectedly proposed to sign Liu Xiang for a few more years. After seeking Liu Xiang's opinion, Lin Feng signed Liu Xiang's endorsement contract for the next ten years at a price of 2 million yuan per year. Of course, it stipulated that if

There are other rewards for national champions and Asian champions. As for Olympic champions, the Athletics Association didn't fill it out because they didn't dare to think about it.

After the signing of Liu Xiang was settled, the Shanghai Oriental Sharks also relied on Yao Ming's dominant performance to win the CBA championship as they wished, and officially started negotiations with Lin Feng on Yao Ming's transfer. Of course, all this was established

On the premise that the Houston Rockets can sign Yao Ming.

For this negotiation, Lin Feng directly called Dawson from the Houston Rockets. Although the NBA prohibits contact with players before the draft, this is China, not the United States. Stern is beyond his reach, not to mention he hopes to develop

Chinese market.

However, this negotiation was extremely unsatisfactory. Ever since the Shanghai Oriental Sharks got the news from nowhere that Lin Feng had signed a track and field athlete for 2 million yuan per year, the asking price suddenly increased. The original advertising price of 100 million yuan over five years

The contract suddenly increased to 200 million in 5 years. Lin Feng was regarded as an "accused" and was exploited desperately.

Of course, Lin Feng also knew through contact that this was not the original intention of Lu Hao, the general manager of the Shanghai Oriental Sharks Club. He did not want to be too philistine. The 5-year, 100 million contract was enough for the Shanghai Oriental Sharks' operations in the next five years, not to mention the

There is other income. However, the ownership rights of the Shanghai Oriental Sharks are managed by the Shanghai Basketball Association of the Shanghai Municipal Sports Commission.

Faced with the "big cake" of Yao Ming, these administrative officials would be really sorry for their consciences if they didn't take a bite. Therefore, when negotiating with these officials, they might not be able to stand their faces and directly break up. Lin Feng

Dawson was entrusted with full responsibility for the negotiation.

In a private room of a restaurant in Shanghai.

"Director Lin, I'm sorry, my contract has caused you trouble." Yao Ming frowned.

"Haha, there's no way, that's what these Basketball Association officials are like. Of course, these are just Shanghai Basketball Association officials, no matter how much they want, they can't ask for much. The real trouble is the Chinese Basketball Association, "About Chinese Players Going to Play Abroad"

"Approval Agreement" stipulates that 50% of the salary must be turned over to the Basketball Association, which is not a small amount. You will definitely be the No. 1 pick this year. According to the NBA No. 1 pick contract, the contract period is 3+1, and the team has priority in the last year. Total

There are 18.02 million US dollars (3.85 million, 4.14 million, 4.43 million, 5.6 million)." Lin Feng was really unhappy that the Basketball Association wanted to take 50% of the share.

Although this 50% was handed over by Yao Ming, Lin Feng learned that the Chinese Basketball Association would divide it into 50%, and as long as you are still a player of the Chinese Basketball Association and participate in the national team, all your wages for playing overseas must be turned over.

Lin Feng was so angry that he wanted to help Yao Ming save the money this time. If not for any other reason, he was just unhappy with how these "officials" were exploiting people.

Yao Ming sighed and cursed secretly. As a player, his request for compensation from the Shanghai Oriental Sharks is understandable. After all, he trained him. Although his family also paid training fees every year, no matter what, Shanghai Oriental Sharks

The Sharks made him famous. But I really don’t understand the 50% salary bonus from the Basketball Association.

"Okay, don't think too much. By the way, I have a contract and invite you to be the spokesperson of my company. Come and take a look. If you are not satisfied, just tell me." Lin Feng handed Yao Ming a contract.

This contract is much higher than Liu Xiang's. After all, now that Yao Ming has won the CBA championship and is about to go to the NBA, and is very likely to enter the NBA as the first foreign number one pick, his value has also increased.

The contract offered by Lin Feng is 5 million per year for 5 years. This contract is more in line with Yao Ming's current worth, but once he becomes the first foreign No. 1 pick in the NBA and achieves his own results in the NBA, his worth will be more than that.

. Jump up at least several times, but now Yao Ming is not the No. 1 pick after all, and he has not yet proven himself in the NBA, especially the contract between him, the Shanghai Oriental Sharks, and the Basketball Association has not yet been finalized. No one can say for sure in the future.

Accurate. Of course, except Lin Feng.

After Yao Ming looked at it carefully, he nodded.

"Director Lin, I am looking for an economic team these days, and I will sign a contract with you after it is finalized. However, I have a personal request. Regarding the compensation issue of Shanghai Oriental Sharks Club, I hope you can be more generous. If it exceeds the budget,

, I can make private compensation in the future." Yao Ming said sincerely.

Lin Feng nodded, but he didn't expect that Yao Ming was still the same as before, preferring to lose money to compensate the Shanghai Oriental Sharks.

"Don't worry, I know this well. As for the Basketball Association, you have to think of a solution yourself. If it doesn't work, I will help you expose this contract. I believe that the Basketball Association will not risk offending the people and athletes across the country.

The risk is 50%. But before that, you should go to the NBA early. I want you to appear in this year's draft, and it is best to appear in the NBA training camp early. This will be good for your NBA career.

It’s a huge benefit.” Lin Feng said.

"But there is the Asian Games this year." Yao Ming frowned.

"It's just a mere Asian Games. Even if you don't participate in China, you can still be the champion. What's more, is your goal the Asian Games champion? Is there only a mere Asian Games champion?" Lin Feng said excitedly.

"But..." Yao Ming still hesitated.

"Don't worry, starting from tomorrow, you will be 'injured'. I will let the Shanghai Oriental Sharks cooperate with you." Lin Feng smiled strangely. Seeing that Yao Ming still didn't petition, Lin Feng explained, "You have to believe me, I'm not unwilling.

I am patriotic and do not want China to achieve good results. But my goal is not in Asia, but in the world. I hope that China can win a championship among the three major men's ball sports. There is definitely no hope for men's volleyball. Football... is better than men's.

There is no hope for volleyball, only basketball has hope. And this hope lies in you. The stronger you are, the higher the level of Chinese basketball. Moreover, I will definitely cultivate a group of helpers around you to win the World Championships.

, won the Olympic championship.”

After hearing this, Yao Ming was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Feng to be so ambitious, but this wish was really beautiful, and it made his blood boil.

"Okay, Director Lin, I will listen to you. I 'fake injury' once, and for the sake of a better future, I will 'fake injury' once." Yao Ming clenched his fist and said.
Chapter completed!
