"When we three brothers came together, I was the one who took the lead."
In a Georgian restaurant in the small town of Appiano, Bai Guanghai raised a glass of wine: "Come on, buddy, have a drink for our reunion after a long separation. After we finish, let's get down to business."
Wang Ai carefully covered the mouth of the cup: "You don't want to get me drunk and then lie to me, do you?"
Lao Bai curled his lips, pointed at Wang Ai and said to Sun Jihai and Zhang Yonghai: "Look, who is this? As for him?"
Sun Jihai nodded: "As for me, wasn't I also deceived by you?"
Only Zhang Yonghai was more considerate: "Xiao Wang, drink less. Can you still train in the afternoon?"
"Brother Erbao still feels sorry for me. Come, let's have a drink." Wang Ai raised his beer glass and clinked it with Zhang Yonghai.
Lao Bai shamelessly followed suit, and the four of them drank it all in one gulp.
That's enough. Lao Bai put down his cup and took a mouthful of food: "I've almost finished my leisure articles just now. You scored a goal and had an assist yesterday. You're so damn awesome. That's it for now."
After finishing speaking, Lao Bai blinked and looked at the three people present, then looked around and looked at Wang Ai: "We three brothers are here today mainly because we have something we can't make up our minds about, and we want you to help advise the advisor."
"Okay." Wang Ai lowered his head and took a spoonful of beef soup. It tasted so good. He had to learn from it later.
"Alas!" Lao Bai sighed exaggeratedly: "In a blink of an eye, I am already 31. That was in the summer of 2001. I was still a handsome young man at that time. I was doing well in China, but I asked you to trick me into living in Germany.
To this day.”
Lao Bai, who completely ignored Wang Ai's contemptuous look, said to himself: "But it's passed 30 in a blink of an eye. Lao Sun and I are both 77, and Erbao was also born in 1979. He is now 30. You know what this means
What?"
Wang Ai's hand touched the big meat skewer, picked it up and took a bite, shaking his head: "How do I know what you old people are thinking? I'm only 20 anyway!"
"F*ck!" Lao Bai suddenly couldn't pretend any longer. He rolled up his sleeves and looked at the other two people: "I told you to just put up with him. There's no limit to his harrassment. He kept harping on me when he first met me seven years ago.
To this day, I always want to beat him!"
Lao Sun quickly broke up the fight: "Hey, don't talk about it, don't talk about it, you can't beat him."
Erbao stood aside and said, "That's right, I'm 1.9 meters tall, but you're less than 1.8 meters tall. You're so small!"
Lao Bai didn't care if it was slope or not, he just came down: "Okay, old people can't be angry with children, I have to be a little deep. Well, the thing is, our three brothers can't play football for a few years, and I and I
It is estimated that Lao Sun will have to return to China after living in Europe for another two or three years. The second baby has not grown much, so doesn’t he have to think about the future? He has a wife and children..."
"When did you have a child? You're not married yet, right?" Wang Ai suddenly interrupted.
"We plan to do it this year. Well, don't forget to bring a gift when the time comes. I have all the milk powder money waiting for you."
"Go away." Wang Ai waved his hands in disgust: "Just finish eating. Let's go back to our homes after eating."
"Okay." Lao Sun and Er Bao both stood up to pay.
"Hey!" Lao Bai quickly stopped a few people: "I haven't finished talking yet! There is still something to do about you two."
Erbao nodded: "I know, the red envelope can't escape."
"Okay, okay, stop talking." Lao Bai pressed the three people again: "Seriously, I just thought about this matter over and over again. I don't really want to be a coach, and I don't want to go to work. I have some money saved.
I wanted to do something with the money, but I didn’t know what to do. After that, I told Lao Sunyi that he also had the same idea, and he also had some money and didn’t know what to do. Then I thought of you. You have a good brain, why don’t you ask?
Are you upset?"
They are all good buddies. When they heard that it was time to get down to business, Wang Ai also became serious: "Don't you want to join the system? You and Brother Sun are both the best in this age group. Entering the Football Association is also a way."
Lao Sun sneered and shook his head. Lao Bai glanced sideways at Wang Ai for a long time before saying, "Are you teasing your brother? Didn't you say in the early years that I just love to talk nonsense and it's best not to pursue an official career?"
Wang Ai thought for a while and nodded. In the early years in Tubingen, he and his buddies talked a lot. Who would have thought that he could still remember it? So he nodded and said: "I wonder if you can change when you are older?
"
"Change?" Lao Bai said mockingly: "The so-called dog can't change... Uh, haha, this way won't work anyway. I also know what you mean by suggesting that Lao Sun and I join the Football Association. We will change the management of Chinese football.
The professional level of the organization, this idea is correct, but you have to choose the right person.”
Sun Jihai interjected: "Xiaobai is okay, I really can't do it. I know it myself. I'm not good at talking and I like to offend people. It doesn't matter if I'm a football star or something. I can say it freely even if I hold it back. It's really
After entering the system, I will definitely not be able to do it now anyway."
"Where's Brother Erbao?" Wang Ai looked at Zhang Yonghai.
Erbao pointed to his head: "I'll forget it, my mouth is stupid and my brain is stupid."
At this time, Lao Bai took over: "So Lao Sun and I are thinking about doing something together. Even though we both have some money these days, if we really want to do something, we don't necessarily have enough, so we want to work together. Besides, we
Each has its own personal connections, and if we work together, we will have greater power."
Wang Ai nodded: "Have you thought about what to do?"
Lao Bai and Lao Sun looked at each other and looked at Wang Ai together. Lao Sun said: "Forget it about opening a factory or something. It's too far behind and we don't understand it. If you learn from scratch, you won't be able to learn it, but it's too late. Let's learn from us.
It’s easier to gain influence.”
Wang Ai frowned: "Those are the two categories of TV commentary and clothing, shoes and hats."
Lao Bai waved his hand: "If you don't consider TV commentators and columnists, you won't be able to work for a long time. In an environment like China, we have to say it, but we can't be too bold to say it. We can't grasp this standard, so we should work on clothing, shoes and hats."
It’s so worry-free. Isn’t it true that we have a little bit of fame as you said? Let’s take advantage of this little bit of fame to build a brand and do it well, and we’ll be settled for the rest of our lives.”
Wang Ai nodded as he listened, slowly began to think, and spoke after a long while: "You can't do it with Li Ning. They started early and are more famous than you, even Li Xiaoshuang can't do it."
The three of them nodded together: "We don't want to be like Li Ning."
Wang Ai added: "Professional football equipment is not very popular. Our market is still a bit small. Li Ning also has the foundation. I'm afraid it's too late for you to pursue it now."
“No professional sports equipment.”
"Is that just general clothing? General sports brand?"
Lao Bai nodded: "Yes, we want to be a leisure sports brand."
Wang Ai frowned: "I don't know much about this, but I think there must be quite a few? What is the core value of your brand?"
"Core value?" Lao Bai repeated, tentatively: "You mean recognition, right?"
Seeing Wang Ai nodding, Lao Bai held Sun Jihai in one hand and Zhang Yonghai in the other, and looked at Wang Ai together: "What do you think the three of us can think of?"
Wang Ai looked at the three angry faces opposite him and said carefully: "Three cobblers?"
