Brother Yao shook his head to politely refuse, which surprised Liu Hao. Soon, Brother Yao explained the reason.
It turns out that someone got there first!
Nike!
In recent years, in order to open up the Chinese market, Nike has adopted the strategy of "casting a wide net, catching as many fish as possible, and choosing the best." Moreover, Nike itself is the sneaker sponsor of the Magic City Basketball Team, so it has a first-come-first-served advantage.
They have long noticed rising stars like Brother Yao who have talents visible to the naked eye.
And we started taking action very early.
Although Nike is the sneaker sponsor of the Magic City Basketball Team, it only provides sneakers and other equipment to the main players of the team. However, after they noticed Yao Laodi, they made an exception and provided them to Yao LaoDi, who was not the main player at the time.
Earlier this year, Yao was invited to participate in the Nike Basketball Summer Camp held in Paris.
And Nike has already made plans for Yao, and after this year's CBA league ends, Yao will be allowed to participate in the Nike American High School League.
In fact, not only in today's game, but also in this year's entire CBA arena, the young Yao's performance was mediocre. However, Liu Hao vaguely remembered from the memory of later generations that starting from next year, Yao will completely change his appearance and take on a completely new look.
Start killing everyone in the CBA arena.
The fact that Yao Yao has undergone such a big change must have a lot to do with his participation in the Nike American High School League.
Even Liu Hao can feel that if Yao can land in the NBA as the No. 1 pick in the future, strength is an important aspect, but it is definitely indispensable for Nike's operation.
Although Brother Yao has not signed a contract with Nike yet, Nike has done so many things for Brother Yao. It is obvious that Brother Yao is regarded as his meal and is determined to win.
Liu Hao does still have the opportunity to sign Yao Brother, but from now on, Yao Brother is still very sensible and knows what is best for his growth, so he declined.
The chance that Liu Hao can sign him is slim.
Besides, the current Liu Hao is not as capable as Nike. If he really tries his best to force Yao to sign a contract at a huge cost, and without the help of Nike, if Yao cannot achieve his future achievements, then Liu Hao will
The sin is huge.
Liu Hao wanted to sign Brother Yao because he wanted to sign him at a low price before he grew up. Just like Curry's child labor contract, it was a precautionary measure, but at the same time, he also hoped to provide some help as they grew up.
.
Now that Liu Hao has thought about it carefully, he still feels that it is more appropriate to "give" Yao brother to Nike now.
In fact, judging from how picky Chinese people are about athletes, before Yao entered the NBA, his domestic influence was far less than those of Olympic champions.
From the memory of future generations, in the future, Brother Yao and Nike will not continue to cooperate. In the future, Liu Hao will still have the opportunity to sign Yao Brother.
Now, you can make a good relationship first.
Liu Hao said: "I know Nike is kind to you, and you will reciprocate. I understand this, and I will not force it, but Nike is a sports brand. The personal clothing brand I established includes not only sportswear, but also casual wear.
Clothing, formal wear...
With you, I will not compete with Nike for sportswear, but I hope to cooperate with you outside of sportswear..."
Liu Hao smiled and joked: "You are so big, it is difficult to buy suitable clothes on weekdays. As long as you are willing to cooperate with us, we can customize clothes for you, and you no longer have to worry about it.
….”
Brother Yao is too tall. With his appearance, he is only suitable for sportswear and not other clothing. Now that Brother Yao is not well-known, asking him to be an endorsement may even have the opposite effect.
Therefore, Liu Hao's proposal seemed sincere.
After brother Yao went back to discuss with his family, he finally agreed to Liu Hao's suggestion.
Finally, he personally took action and did not return in vain. Liu Hao left the remaining matters of signing the contract with Brother Yao to Boss Xu.
Leave professional matters to professionals, Liu Hao still has his own things to do.
In Shanghai, on the night of the 5th, Liu Hao held the second stop of his solo tour in the Mainland. It was still very popular. On the 6th, he attended a new album signing event during the day. In the evening, he and his big brother
Waiting for the film's creators to gather together to promote the film's road show.
Except in Beijing, Yu Feihong did not participate in any roadshows held to promote the movie in other places. She was taking care of her children at home.
After the movie roadshow ended, things in Magic City ended, and Liu Hao traveled to other cities non-stop.
In other cities, he also held concerts, participated in new album signings and gave movie roadshows. Repeatedly, Liu Hao visited eight cities throughout December.
Although it is very hard work, the effect is still very obvious.
Within this month, the sales of genuine records of Liu Hao's new album have perfectly met expectations, and he will reach a higher level and create greater glory.
The sales of genuine CD records reached 450,000, and the sales of tapes exceeded 1.5 million!
Nearly two million genuine sales per month!
It's so scary that in terms of popular music, it has scorned many popular singers. In terms of sales of genuine records in the mainland, no one can match it, and very few even close to half of the sales volume.
It is a certainty that Liu Hao’s fourth school’s sales of genuine copies will reach 3 million copies within a year, and even if piracy becomes more and more rampant now, it cannot be stopped.
Even Jesus can’t stop it!
In addition to the sales of genuine copies of the new album, the box office of "Lonely Sand Island Cold" is also very gratifying after Liu Hao's hard-working road show.
During the release period in December, the movie's box office was outstanding, and it exceeded 30 million as expected! It reached a box office of 32 million!
Although there are nearly 6 million box office "bought" through the new album's bundled sales.
But this result is dazzling enough. Even for some well-known directors, it is not easy to achieve this box office in the current film market environment.
Also because of such gratifying box office results, Liu Hao's film was granted the opportunity to extend its release cycle.
However, since "Party A and Party B" directed by Feng Xiaoan was released at the end of December. This "Party A and Party B" has the hard work of Han Sanye and countless others, the focus of resources will definitely be tilted. Liu Hao's movie has been released for a month
, the next sequence of films will be greatly compressed.
Therefore, even if the release cycle is extended, the subsequent box office performance will not be ideal, but if the water continues, there should still be two to three million in revenue.
No matter what, the fact that such a low-investment movie can achieve such high box office results is a perfect start, enough to make Liu Hao overjoyed.
In the Mainland, Liu Hao will hold solo concert tours in ten cities, and he has already visited nine cities, with the last city still to go.
And the last city is in Jiangcheng.
Time flew by in a blink of an eye, and it was already 1998 before he knew it. The rumble of the plane flew across the sky and landed safely at Jiangcheng Tianhe Airport. With the joy of a good harvest, Liu Hao waited in the car. The time was almost up, and
It didn't take long for the beauty to appear in Liu Hao's eyes on time.
Zeng Li, who was wearing sunglasses, was looking around, while Liu Hao, who was disguised, quietly appeared behind her holding flowers.
"Surprise!" The flowers appeared in front of Zeng Li first, and then Liu Hao jumped in front of Zeng Li.
"Thank you!" Zeng Li happily took the flowers from Liu Hao. She recognized Liu Hao in disguise at a glance. At Liu Hao's slanted face, she stood on tiptoe and looked at Liu Hao without shyness.
Hao tapped lightly on his cheek.
"Now you are satisfied..." Zeng Li said with a smile, holding the outstretched arm as he spoke.
Liu Hao laughed, then he picked up Zeng Li's suitcase and pushed it. He looked around Zeng Li curiously and found that she came back alone this winter vacation. He asked curiously: "Did you come back alone this year?
?Yuanquan didn’t accompany you?”
Zeng Li nodded and replied indifferently: "She has something to do this year and won't come back to celebrate the New Year..."
Liu Hao seemed to hear a sense of alienation from Zeng Li's words.
Zeng Li and Yuan Quan have known each other for a long time, when they studied Peking Opera together in Beijing, which lasted almost ten years.
We have been friends for many years, but the adult world itself is very complicated, and the relationships between people are not static. Many people will change when they go to college.
Compared to Zeng Li, Yuan Quan is more purposeful and ambitious.
But the current situation, well... under Liu Hao's protection and arrangements, Zeng Li's current development is smoother than Yuan Quan's.
Although Liu Hao rarely appeared in school this half semester, Liu Hao still heard about some things.
All I can do is sigh.
Zeng Li didn't want to mention her in front of Liu Hao, and Liu Hao didn't want to be bored and ended the topic.
After putting Zeng Li's luggage in the car, Liu Hao stretched out his hand and asked with a smile: "My dear, can you tell me your home address now..."
The reason why Liu Hao placed the last city of his solo concert tour in Jiangcheng was to wait for the winter vacation of Zhongxi Opera and personally pick up Zeng Li to send her back to her hometown and pay her a visit.
Since he had already visited Gao Yuanyuan's family, Liu Hao would not be unfavorable and planned to take this opportunity to meet Zeng Li's family.
After all, scandals broke out before. In addition to appeasing Gao Yuanyuan and Zeng Li, they also had to reassure their families.
It is necessary to visit him at home. Anyway, Liu Hao is getting thicker and thicker now.
Knowing Liu Hao's intention to visit, Zeng Li was happy and excited, but also shy and reserved, and also a little worried.
"Uh... you are a big star now. If you go to my house rashly like this, it will easily expose our relationship. Will this have an impact on your career? Just like before..." Zeng Li asked for Liu Hao's consideration.
"Since I have made such a decision, I naturally have my own considerations. You don't have to worry..."
Zeng Li looked at Liu Hao and said, "When you go to my house, you don't intend to go empty-handed..."
Liu Hao smiled and opened the trunk of the car again, "I have already bought all the gifts, so you don't have to worry about this..."
Zeng Li just found the reasons casually and did not check them. After all, she still had some worries in her heart. She looked embarrassed and said hesitantly: "But..."
"No buts!" Liu Hao pretended to be angry, "You have already met my mother. My mother has given you all my family heirlooms and accepted you as my wife. Now you are trying to prevent me from meeting your family.
, do you not want to be with me for a long time, or are you just playing with me now..."
"No, I'm serious. I want to be with you forever..." Zeng Li said quickly in a panic.
Liu Hao smiled and pecked Zeng Li's lips. The moist feeling was still so good.
"Okay, I understand what you mean. I'm trying to scare you. I think you should also understand what I mean, so you'd better tell me your home address obediently..."
While speaking, Liu Hao had already closed the trunk. After telling Zeng Li the address, Liu Hao picked up Princess Zeng Li with a smile and placed her safely on the passenger seat with her cooing.
.
Then drove away in a long car.
Liu Hao drove for several hours from Jiangcheng to Jingzhou. When he arrived at Zeng Li's hometown, the sky was pitch black and had been dark for a long time.
"Dear, I'm sorry, the road is a bit unfamiliar and it took a bit long..." Liu Hao said apologetically.
Zeng Li, who was full of excitement along the way, didn't rest. She looked at Liu Hao with tender eyes and took the initiative to kiss him.
But after all, this is not a good battlefield and the timing is not right.
When enough was enough, Zeng Li said sweetly in her heart: "Thank you!"
This is the effect of Liu Hao. The physical fatigue caused by driving for several hours disappears immediately.
After parking the car, Liu Hao brought the gift to Zeng Li's door. When he was about to knock on the door, Zeng Li stopped him.
Zeng Li whispered with some embarrassment: "You told me before that you were going to visit my house. I thought you were just on a whim, so I didn't notify my family because they didn't know yet..."
Liu Hao laughed and said: "When we were in the car just now, why didn't you call home to inform..."
"Uh...forgot..."
Zeng Li quickly said: "You wait outside for a moment, I will go in first, I will explain the situation to them, let them prepare before you come in..."
While Zeng Li was fumbling for the key in her bag, the door suddenly opened.
Zeng Xiaomei, who was wearing pajamas, yawned, rubbed her eyes and said, lost in the lake: "Sister, I knew you were back. It's already midnight, why are you so anxious to come back? You are all
Now that I’m a little star, it’s not like I don’t have money, so I can find a hotel in Jiangcheng to stay first..."
"By the way, did I ask you to bring your brother-in-law's new album back? I can't spare you if you don't. I want it autographed..."
It was winter at this time, and a cold wind blew by. Even though she was wearing thick pajamas, Zeng Xiaomei shivered from the cold. This also made her sober. She rubbed her eyes and slowly opened them. What appeared in front of her was not a person.
A person, but two figures.
She instantly shivered and saw clearly that the person in front of her was her sister. She was blushing like a monkey's butt. Behind her sister, a handsome, tall and tall man was greeting her with a smile.
"Little sister Zeng, long time no see, do you still remember me?"
"I'm not dreaming!" Zeng Xiaomei shook her head several times, then looked at Liu Hao intently, and reached out to pinch her sister's cheek.
Then Zeng Li slapped her on the back of her hand.
"It hurts!" Zeng Xiaomei bared her teeth and shouted.
"You still know how painful it is!" Zeng Li glanced at her sister, who was in love with each other and killed each other, "If you want to pinch me, pinch your own face!"
As he said this, he rubbed the pinched area on his face. This little girl didn't know the seriousness of it.
"This is not a dream!"
Zeng Xiaomei smiled silly, suddenly realized, she looked away from Liu Hao, and then hurriedly shouted towards home.
"Mom! The eldest sister is back with her brother-in-law. Mom, the eldest sister is back with her brother-in-law..."
