Growing Freely Chapter 157 I want to break the ceiling
On the night of the championship, Yu Yan spent her own money to take everyone to the hotel for a carnival celebration.
11 of the 12 team members went there, except for Long Zaiyuan, who was dragged back to the hospital by the nurse.
Each of them drank a lot of wine, held their heads in their hands and cried, telling themselves how difficult this journey was.
Yu Yan read the newly received notice while she was half asleep: "Congratulations to Lei Ming Good Man County Competition for their excellent results... The town government decided to reward the team with a cow after research... Considering the inconvenience of carrying the prize, a special discount of 12,000
Thousand yuan.”
Pan Lei asked: "How much is it?"
"One thousand per person!" Yu Yan explained: "Although it's not much, it represents official encouragement and support."
Sun Changxing burst into tears with laughter: "Ah haha, the money has been distributed! I have been playing basketball for 4 months and finally see the money!"
Long Xiaochuan showed them great contempt: "Look at your achievements, are we playing for a mere thousand yuan bonus?"
However, just when everyone thought he had some long words of wisdom, he turned around and looked at Yu Yan: "We are here to become famous so that we can make more and more money!"
The crowd laughed and raised their glasses, going crazy.
Yu Yan'e frowned slightly and hesitated to speak. After all, this might be their most carefree night, so it was better not to throw cold water on it.
Considering that the procedure for receiving the bonus is cumbersome, she first paid it out of her own pocket to everyone so that they could have a good rest in the county for a few days and buy some gifts to take back to the village: "Remember to be grateful when you are successful!"
However, Pan Lei, Sun Changxing, and Luo Gaozhan had other ideas.
The rest of the team relied on their strength to stand on the podium. These three were able to get the opportunity to participate, but it was thanks to Yu Zhongyi's sacrifice of his life.
They had invited Yu Zhengyi to attend tonight's celebration banquet, but this stubborn guy refused, saying that he was not a member of the team and did not deserve to participate, so he ran away.
Considering that Lao Yu was still being collected for debts from time to time, they naturally wanted to rescue their brother from the quagmire first.
Long Xiaochuan heard the three people muttering quietly and quickly expressed his position: "I said I would help him pay off his debt, how can I not be counted as one?"
He opened the mobile banking app and checked his balance, realizing that his savings were nothing compared to Yu Zhengyi's more than 200,000 yuan in debt.
"It seems we have to think of other ways." He looked at the three of them: "How about another live broadcast to bring goods?"
Sun Changxing was drunk and confused: "Okay, okay, but what are we selling during the live broadcast?"
Leizhai's family has very little financial resources. What they can sell are ordinary farm products, and they can't make much profit. Yu Yan spends a long time selling them, and subsequent delivery is troublesome. She also has to deal with many after-sales problems. The process is unbearable.
review.
Long Xiaochuan stood up staggeringly: "The situation has opened up! We are now the champions of Mi County, and we are willing to bring goods. Is the supply of goods still a problem? Go and see what those big internet celebrities are selling, and we will take the initiative to contact you and give it a try."
After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and walked to Yu Yan, pushed away Yang Yaye who was toasting, and put his arm on her shoulders with a smirk.
Yang Yaye recognized the interest and smiled winkingly. When he left, he stopped Gao Fu who wanted to come over and took him to clink glasses with Shi Lang and Xue Zhuang to provide cover for his future brother-in-law.
Yu Yan glanced sideways, but did not push Long Xiaochuan's hand away: "What are you doing?"
"Here's a toast to you."
"Why do I feel like you have bad intentions?"
"Your feeling is very accurate, I want to..."
Long Xiaochuan originally wanted to make a joke about the overbearing CEO Bi Dong, but the moment their eyes met, he gave up: "I want to ask you for a favor, we need you for the live broadcast."
"Live broadcast again? I won't do it! It's me who appears every time. Am I working for you?"
"Rural revitalization is your responsibility, and you are bound to do it!"
"Bah, I believe you!"
Long Xiaochuan began to play the emotional card. From March, he brought everyone together for training. It is now the end of July. In the past four months, everyone has borrowed foreign debts, delivered food, and played wild ball. It was extremely difficult to persevere.
Until now.
Now that they have won the county competition, "Leizhai Five Little Strong" and "Yellow Rubber Shoes Team" have become well-known and have more than 100,000 fans. It is time to make money.
"Haha, you've lost hundreds of thousands of fans? You've just started. You have to walk on thin ice now and operate carefully. Otherwise, once you get the reputation of cutting leeks, you won't be able to get over it in this life."
"But haven't you done live broadcasts for us before?"
Yu Yan suddenly became very serious: "That's different. It's for Leizhai. People buy things for poverty alleviation. If you want to sell a hot-selling product that makes money quickly, it will change!"
But Long Xiaochuan also has difficulties: "As you saw in today's game, the gap between us and the Longjiao team is too big. I feel that the county championship is already the ceiling for the Thunder team, and it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky."
What he means is that if you don't make a fortune from the current popularity and traffic, you will lose the game and go downhill in the future, and you may be unable to recover.
Yu Yan's face turned cold and she said what Long Zaiyuan asked her before: "Is your motivation for winning in playing football just for money?"
Long Xiaochuan was speechless. More than ten years of examination-oriented education and training told him that the standard answer is definitely not for money, but if not for money, then why?
Long Xiaochuan drank the wine without thinking of a satisfactory answer, so he simply drank up the wine and walked away angrily.
At the wine table, other people seemed to be chatting with each other enthusiastically, but in fact they were paying attention to Long Xiaochuan and Yu Yan from the corner of their eyes. When they saw this kid getting frustrated, some were happy and some were disappointed, and their expressions were very exciting.
Pan Lei, Sun Changxing and other three people came over to ask about the situation. Long Xiaochuan asked them the same question: "Why do you play ball?"
Pan Lei said: "I will kill fish for the rest of my life just to stop eating in the kitchen!"
Luo Gaozhan said: "To live a decent life!"
Sun Changxing said: "In order to make money, live a good life."
Long Xiaochuan looked at the three of them, as if he saw himself in the mirror. Yes, what they said was what they thought, superficial and realistic, and easy to satisfy, but it was completely insufficient!
What Long Zaiyuan said before reappeared in his mind: "You have to stand higher and take a longer view. You have just embarked on the most passionate journey in life. You should take the initiative to shoulder more responsibility than Zhenxing Lei."
The village has a higher mission."
But what is this mission?
He looked at the people in front of him and murmured: "My uncle is right, we should stand higher."
He stood up suddenly, feeling that he was not high enough, so he stepped on the chair again.
This sudden move shocked everyone present, and they all turned to see what he wanted to do.
Long Xiaochuan shook his body: "I want to break the ceiling, break the ceiling of the Thunder Team, and take you to participate in higher-level competitions and onto a broader stage!"
