In the evening, Wang Ai invited a reporter from the Xinhua News Agency's Sports Department to have a light meal at his home, and naturally they talked about a lot of things. Wang Ai believed in the cooperative relationship between them, and also trusted the discipline of the national news agency, and would never discuss anything except personal emotional issues.
Other than that, there are no other taboos.
If the National News Agency does not trust it, then who can be trusted? If the National News Agency gives a bad report, then it must not be the National News Agency’s own will, but the superiors who want to beat Wang Ai.
After a day of rest at home, Wang Ai, Huang Xin and others appeared at the Beijing Workers' Stadium on June 13 to watch the 15th "Idiot Cup" finals. Today's Idiot Cup is no longer a matter for Sichuan and Liaoning provinces.
It has expanded rapidly since 2008, and has now joined more than a dozen provinces and cities. If the organizing committee was not afraid of expanding too fast and losing shape, there could be more.
The Idiot Cup, like the Liao Women's League, is also held in a fairly small gap. When there is no impact, the parties involved treat each other coldly, relying on Wang Ai's influence to barely avoid being stumbled. But once it is affected,
When they came out, they immediately started to move. Zhang Lu told Wang Ai privately that the local education bureau must not be involved, as anything bad would happen if he came in.
It’s not that they are sincerely evil, but once their power is activated, they will often link football performance with honor. Once linked, the school will definitely be eager for quick success and instant benefit, and once it is eager for quick success and instant benefit, there will be no future. So the Idiot Cup Organizing Committee
When reviewing the franchise requirements of each province and city, we will clearly negotiate with each other: We welcome participation, but your governments at all levels should not issue bonuses or force schools to participate. Everything is based on interest. We are pure and pure amateur students.
Competition.
We don’t want to go up!
In order to reduce the heat, the organizing committee refused many interviews from the media. For example, for today's finals, CCTV Sports Channel only sent a camera team, not even reporters, and was prepared to be pulled down just by mentioning this in the next Football Night.
Also in order to reduce the popularity, Wang Ai has hardly appeared in the Idiot Cup in the past few years.
Nowadays, the foundation of Chinese football is still so weak. If Wang Ai wants to do something, he must be like a miniature sculptor. Too light is not enough, too heavy is not enough, too much is not enough, and too little is not enough. Sculpture bit by bit, leaving the fire of hope.
live.
The competition system of more than a dozen provinces and cities is still a close matchup within the province, city, and county, until the final finals. Today, there are still four finals in the two categories of junior high school and high school plus men’s and women’s football. The champion is still
3,000 yuan plus a commemorative jersey and a set of training equipment for each person. The runner-up is 1,000 yuan plus a commemorative jersey and training equipment. Of course, the organizing committee will cover the round trip expenses, food and accommodation expenses.
After watching the four finals all day long, Wang Ai never left and stayed in the stands. At most, he stood up and waved when the students called him. The awarding guest Wang Ai invited Jin Zhiyang and Chen Tao to ask them
Two are responsible.
After a day's competition, they ate in the hotel where eight teams were stationed in the evening. Wang Ai did not show up in public but took a sneak peek. This group of children played a game all over the world, which they may never do again in their lifetime.
You can't see it either, so the atmosphere is great.
After watching it, Wang Ai was also infected by the faint sadness among the children. When he went out and got in the car, he shook his head: "Who am I? If you can't get up or down, the children haven't earned anything, and the stupid company hasn't earned anything either.
It seems that Chinese football has not made much money."
Huang Xin, who came with him, glanced at Wang Ai, lowered his head and coaxed his son in his arms: "It's a summer camp, let's give the children a football dream. No matter what they do in the future, this past is worth remembering, isn't it?
"
Seeing Wang Ai nodding, Huang Xin added: "As for Stupid Company, we are not going to make a big splash in the first place. It doesn't matter if we spend a little money. Anyway, Stupid Company has high profits and it is a public welfare enterprise. You don't have to spend money here."
Donate. Moreover, the Stupid Cup is also an almost nationwide and highly rated amateur event for school students. The positive significance for Stupid Company is not a temporary breakthrough, but a lasting positive impact."
Wang Ai breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Scale is very important. This thing is really wonderful. If you increase it by one point, it will be too long. If you decrease it by one point, it will be too short. If it is powdered, it will be too white. If it is applied with red, it will be too red. We must stick to this policy. You have to
Please tell the organizing committee well and never be too eager for quick success."
Huang Xin nodded seriously: "I will emphasize it to them again."
“A single spark can start a prairie fire, whether it’s Chinese football or stupid companies.” Wang Ai raised his head and concluded.
In the days that followed, Wang Ai was squatting at the Beyond Entertainment Company in the northern suburbs of Beijing, dealing with various sponsors. According to his assumptions at the beginning of the year, his advertising revenue this year may exceed 2 billion yuan. In the first half of the year, Adidas and Coca-Cola renewed their contracts
The two companies have reached more than 800 million, and the other bits and pieces are also two to three billion. It seems that it should be relatively easy to complete the "mission" for the whole year. The popularity of winning the World Cup last summer has increased again this summer, and it is as expected.
From the national team as a whole to individuals, not only Wang Ai made a lot of money, but other teammates also doubled their seats.
To put it figuratively speaking, Wang Ai got top-level orders from mostly multinational companies. Chen Tao and Lao Bai and the others got sub-large orders from small and medium-sized multinational companies and domestic companies. Generally speaking, the main players got small and medium-sized enterprises from various countries.
While the national team substitutes received first-level orders, they received orders from provincial-level enterprises.
There is of course a clear gap in income. For example, Wang Ai's annual income is expected to reach 2 billion, while Chen Tao, who is second only to him, can only earn about 200 million. Generally, the main force is an order of magnitude lower, about 30 million, while the substitute
There are even fewer of them, and the annual income of an endorsement is only hundreds of thousands. But they can "make up for their shortcomings by hard work." When the top Wang Ai, the second-tier Chen Tao, and Lao Bai are busy and the other is more image-conscious, they
You can go around and earn appearance fees, so the substitutes have to be diligent and their income can exceed 10 million.
In the midst of this busy schedule, Wang Ai was filming Haier's electrical appliance commercial at Beyond Entertainment on the afternoon of June 15th. Kangsi walked into the studio excitedly. Just as the filming was over, Wang Ai came from the sofa of "Home"
He stood up and put down the TV remote control, turned around and saw the "Times" in Kangsi's hand.
Looking from a distance, the cover was bright red, which made Wang Ai frown. Only when he got it in his hands did he realize that the red piece was the national flag. Wang Ai's head was in front of the national flag, facing the camera directly, with a smile on his face. But he
He was not wearing the white shirt he wore during the interview, but a dark red Bayern jersey.
