Chapter 727 Believe in the weather forecast and die! The end
"This is necessary. Business is business, and friendship is friendship. If the two things are mixed together, the result will be more tragic. This is why I am not willing to be your agent. I can't ignore your request.
, Paul can. Only in this way can we obtain the greatest benefits for you, both
Since you have already planned to accept these business contracts, why not maximize the benefits?" Irene gave this reply to Hong Tao's worries. She was not worried that Hong Tao would be exploited by Paul, although she could not be Hong Tao's agent.
, but she can be a legal advisor and she will read every contract.
Compared with these commercial contracts, Hong Tao found that the prize money from the competition did not seem to be that important. According to the several commercial contracts that Paul listed for him, which he was optimistic about, Hong Tao could earn nearly 2 million in the next two years.
The sponsorship fees include more than 1 million yuan in various endorsement fees alone. In addition, a lot of equipment, air tickets, food and accommodation are provided for free.
In fact, these are not the most tempting. Paul also has an even more tempting plan. Jarden Group, the largest consumer goods company in the United States, has a subsidiary called Purefishing, which specializes in producing various fishing-related supplies.
Not only is it the leading company in North America, it also has considerable influence around the world. This company is interested in getting in touch with Hong Tao to see how they can cooperate to produce the kind of flying lure invented by Hong Tao. Updated Chapter 727
Believe in the weather forecast! "Hey... I can see the money, but I can't take it!" Hong Tao finally rejected the company's offer.
It's not that he doesn't want to earn the money, the terms offered by the other party are very attractive, and he also promised to name this artificial bait after Hong Tao. He can't agree. If it is produced by a small workshop, Hong Tao can still find a way to make it in the artificial bait.
He made some tricks on the sponge strip of the bait, just like the special effect bait he made, but put
He has no control over the lures produced on the assembly line in such a large factory. Instead of making them with no effect and ruining his own brand, he might as well not do it and let this secret always be with him. Every year.
Earn some bonuses and attract some sponsors, which will be enough for yourself and Irene.
"I really don't understand what you think! If you are afraid of exposing your secrets, you can keep your secrets on the flying lure. If the other party is just borrowing your reputation, they don't require this lure.
How will it be different from other artificial baits? It’s just a product
That's it. You're not lying, why don't you agree?" Although Paul never interfered with Hong Tao's decision during the negotiation, after the negotiation, he grabbed Hong Tao and refused to let him go, insisting on asking him why he didn't agree with purefishing.
Company cooperation.
Updated Chapter 727: Believe in the weather forecast! "Are you willing and happy to cooperate with them?" Hong Tao did not answer Paul's question, but asked him instead.
"Of course, even a fool can see that this is very beneficial to you. You can earn a good income at almost no cost, and you will also be famous. In the future, your name will be spread throughout North America with this bait.
Even Europe, do you think this is not good?" Paul said his answer without even thinking. He had said this to Hong Tao more than once. It didn't matter if he said it again.
"I won't do it if you are happy! Who told you not to contract me the reservoir investment in the first place, which caused my business to fail. In the end, I lost money! Let's treat this as my revenge. Now we are even.
Yes, you made me feel bad once, and I will make you feel bad too
It’s fair to suffer once, right? It’s a lot of words.” Hong Tao really couldn’t think of how to answer Paul’s question, and he was his agent, so he had to answer, so he could only talk about more emotional questions, so that Paul would not
The place is reasonable.
"What's the reason? You're a lunatic! What does it matter if I'm happy or not? Most of the money belongs to you. Do you want to keep me from earning commissions and don't even want your own money?" Paul really let it go.
Hong Tao said he was confused. He probably had never seen such a bastard before.
"Hehehe... It's almost the same as what you said... But only this time, you can find other ways to make money for me. I won't refuse next time." Hong Tao continued to stimulate Paul.
"You...you are a bastard!!! I refuse to be your agent anymore! I want to terminate your contract! Just wait to receive my lawyer's letter! Madman! Madman!" Paul couldn't hold back in the end, even swearing.
I cursed all out, and got into my car angrily. While starting the car, I didn't forget to get out of my head and curse again.
Hong Tao is not afraid of any lawyer's letter he sends, let alone the termination of the contract. People like Paul don't have many friends. On the weekend, he even invited Hong Tao and his wife to go sailing and fishing off the coast of Miami. He probably got angry before he got home.
It was gone. And Hong Tao could only deceive him for a while with this reason. When he figured it out, he realized that Hong Tao was deliberately making him angry so as to cover up the real reason.
In the second race held at the end of the month, Hong Tao won the championship again without any surprise. This time the organizing committee and sponsors made a strict rule for Hong Tao, that is, he must complete the four-day race and still win the championship.
He could not compete passively, so Hong Tao fished for four full days. With the support of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Hong Tao once again set a new record that he had held for less than a month, and the final total weight exceeded the second place.
More than double.
The results of this competition made Hong Tao's sponsors elated. They felt that the money was well spent. Now Hong Tao's appearance has frequently appeared on TV broadcasts. For two consecutive games, Hong Tao received special care from the TV station and arranged a special boat.
The broadcast boat followed, from beginning to end, never leaving. In this way, everything Hong Tao wears, wears on his head, holds in his hands, and the clothes, shoes and hats, eyes, fishing gear, including lunch, all used when fishing.
Appeared on camera, more than once.
Through these sponsor contracts, Hong Tao finally understood one thing. When he watched football games in the past, he always couldn't understand why those players had to run for tens of meters to get in front of the camera after scoring a goal.
Let's put it in a poss, I'm already as tired as my grandson, wouldn't it be nice to save this little energy for a while and then fight for it?
In fact, this kind of behavior is not voluntary for athletes, but is stipulated in the sponsorship advertising contract. Even how it appears on TV every year, how many times it appears, and the length and time period of each appearance are clearly stipulated.
, it is also divided into many levels. If you complete that level, you will get the money of that level. If you exceed the limit, there will be additional rewards. Those athletes are not excited because they score goals. They are thinking about it while running: No one can hold them for another 20 meters.
I just got 20,000 yuan!
Hong Tao is like this now. When he catches fish, he will deliberately place the logos of merchants who pay more money in front of the camera, and give the merchants who pay less money a side look. Since his whole body of fishing clothes is almost covered with trademarks,
So his posture was sometimes very strange, so much so that after Sam came back, he specifically asked him if his waist was injured, or why he was always standing crookedly.
Hong Tao didn't tell his father-in-law that it was because the advertisements printed on his left leg, left shoulder, and left chest were more valuable. If he let them show off his face a few more times, he could get a high bonus. He just said that he was tired of fishing with his right arm and used this posture.
Take a rest. Not only is it a matter of standing, but for these advertising contracts, Hong Tao also has to
After the competition, you wear wet and fishy fishing clothes and life jackets for a few hours, and then go up to the stage to receive the award. This is also clearly stipulated in the contract by the sponsor, and you must wear that brand's clothing when you go to the podium.
Clothes, shoes. Wear hats, watches, glasses from that store, get drinks from that store...
Hong Tao even wondered if Paul was deliberately retaliating against himself? His fishing clothes were almost covered with graffiti. He planned to go back and ask Paul. If he printed the trademark on his face, one on each cheek, and then again on his forehead.
One, how much can it be sold for?
Although Hong Tao was like a living billboard when he participated in the competition, he lost a lot of freedom, but without the ties of career. He felt that he was slowly returning to the original track of life. There was no competition and no need to advertise.
When commercials were filming, he would drive around the United States with Erin and Sam, and he would be greeted by familiar fishing friends wherever he went. The money would be spent as it should be, but the quality of the food, drinks and entertainment was obviously not the same.
It’s the same, after all, it’s a lot more convenient to have the landlord accompanying you.
Sometimes when I get tired of playing in the United States, I go to Canada to find Lao Gail and Pawei. Several old men and Hong Tao, a middle-aged man, go to Pawei's house to smoke a few puffs of marijuana, and then go to a striptease nightclub to get addicted.
, or call Harrison that humanoid warrior
In the weapon warehouse, you can find a dead shooting range and have fun. Buy a few tickets at night, go to the stadium and shout as much as you want. No one can stop you if you want to curse. Anyway, Hong Tao is not a fan of anyone, so he will curse whoever he catches.
, the fans at the scene were unhappy and everyone yelled at each other.
In October, Irene had a reaction and she became pregnant. By the end of the year, Hong Tao could already see two small meatballs squirming in Irene's belly from the ultrasound. She inherited her family's good tradition.
I am pregnant with twins, who are also identical, and they are also girls.
Out of habit, Hong Tao originally wanted Irene to return to Sam's place to have the baby, but Irene didn't listen to Hong Tao. She said she wouldn't need to rest until 8 months later. Taking too much rest now would not be good for the baby. She is still in New York.
I work in my office, and from time to time I fly to China.
At the end of the summer of the next year, Hong Tao gave up the flw one-stop race, and Irene gave birth to twin girls for him. When Hong Tao saw his daughter outside the operating room, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Both girls are like their mothers, and they don't look like themselves. Thank God.
When the children were one month old, Hong Tao followed Chinese tradition and held a full-moon banquet for the two children at Sam's small manor. He sent invitations and letters to everyone he knew, along with a round-trip cloth.
For Farrow's air ticket, come if you can, and it doesn't matter if you can't. He plans to take his children back to China and apply for it again. When the time comes, Eileen will go back with him, and he will quit his job at a law firm in New York to concentrate on
Running the guided hunting company with Katie.
During the full moon wine, almost everyone came, and there was no room in Sam’s restaurant, so they had to put the rented table on the grass in front of the door. Drinking the white wine brought by Boss Liu and Fat Boss, the atmosphere soon became
I have entered the drinking phase, and I don’t know who first suggested that I want to go to Africa.
They came together for a group safari, and finally reached an agreement, so Hong Tao took advantage of the wine and made a decision on the spot. When his daughter turns one year old tomorrow, he will carry them to Africa and form an extra-large expedition group.
Let them also feel the path their father walked.
In October, Hong Tao returned to Beijing. He deliberately flipped through the calendar, checked the weather forecast, and then chose a sunny day. He carried his daughter in a sling and ran to the Taolin Kou Reservoir, and then returned to where he used to fish.
There, in front of Irene, I tied the crystal clear fish scales to a small iron pendant and threw it into the water.
"Why did you throw it away? Wouldn't it be nice to hang it around your neck? Aren't you hanging it all the time?" Irene didn't understand Hong Tao's move. She always thought it was Hong Tao's amulet, and Hong Tao was also so kind.
She said it.
"It is not mine in the first place. It has protected me for many years. Let it leave me. I am already very happy. This happiness does not belong to me in the first place. As a human being, you must be content." Hong Tao looked at the fish scales shaking.
It sank slowly into the water, then the light flashed and was no longer visible.
"Can you still chop me? It's better to stop trying. If you chop me back, I will still live like this in the next life. How boring!" Waiting until the fish scales disappeared, Hong Tao looked up at the sky and stretched out his right hand.
raised his middle finger.
At this time, the originally clear sky suddenly became overcast, a dark cloud covered the sun, and the wind picked up. Hong Tao stretched out his hand to hold the canopy pole that was tilted by the strong wind, and shouted in his heart: I will x your mother! The weather forecast is
Can't it be accurate once? Doesn't it mean that it will be sunny all day long?
