"Xiao Tang, I hope you can become stronger next time you come back, and..." Yao Ming originally didn't want to say it, but after seeing Tang Qian's domineering performance just now, Yao Ming temporarily changed his mind and whispered in advance
He said: "Xiao Tang, please don't lose confidence in the national team. Although we are still in a dark age, we must believe that dawn is coming soon." Tang Qian was a little unsure and said: "Brother Yao, I have no confidence in Chinese basketball.
I have lost confidence. I am just dissatisfied with some of the basketball strategies of some 'big guys'. You know, even if the trust management continues, what will happen if there is another old manager, a new manager, a new manager, a new manager, a new manager, a new manager?
? In this way, it is still difficult for our country’s basketball to stand up from its roots."
"I know, I know, Xiao Tang, please be patient. This is a secret I am going to tell you. Now, not many people know it." Seeing how mysterious Yao Ming said, Tang Qian was also a little confused, but
Still, he kept his ears close and listened carefully to what the former was about to say.
"What I want to tell you is that it is very likely that after the trust management is over, I will take the stage." Yao Ming's voice was not loud, but it fell in Tang Qian's ears like thunder. Tang Qian was stunned for a long time before saying: "Really, really
?Brother Yao, are you kidding?" Yao Ming smiled and said: "Although I can't say 100% sure, I guess we are almost inseparable. Do you think this means you can come back?"
"Of course. Brother Yao, this, this is great! If it is really you... Well, there is really hope for basketball in our country." Tang Qian said with joy on his face: "Finally we have to change
Has a knowledgeable person come up? Don’t worry, brother Yao, I will announce my joining as soon as you figure it out." "Oh, do you believe me so much?" Yao Ming said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that I will trick you?"
"If you also cheat me and cheat Chinese basketball, then I will admit it, because I can't think of a more suitable candidate than you at the moment. But...how can you do this for the Sharks club that has just started to improve after so many years of running it?
What to do? According to the rules, I remember..." "Well, there is no way. There are gains and losses. I have to make a choice. Maybe I have wasted many years of hard work, but this is an opportunity to change the Chinese basketball circle.
If it were you, would you not make a choice?" Yao Ming asked directly.
"Of course. If we don't do some things, we will have to wait for a long time. If we have this opportunity in our lifetime, we must seize it. Otherwise, I'm afraid I will regret it for the rest of my life." After hearing Tang Qian's answer, Yao Ming
He nodded and smiled: "Yes, so I can only reluctantly give up." Seeing Yao Ming helplessly spreading his hands, Tang Qian felt that the future of the country was dawning, and he couldn't help but feel in a good mood and said with a smile:
"Brother Yao, please come on. This opportunity is hard-won. Please make good use of it."
"You are also Xiao Tang. I am relying on you here on the court. Let's work hard together." Yao Ming stretched out his hand.
"Well, okay, Brother Yao, let's work together and let our Chinese basketball rise again." Upon seeing this, Tang Qian also stretched out his hand and gave this giant who was even taller than himself a slap in the face.
The next day, Tang Qian arrived at his last destination, which was his hometown city, City Y.
This is also the last stop for publicity. AND1 has reopened a flagship store here, and this time they have to wait for Tang Qian to come and cut the ribbon in person. It can be seen that AND1 has put in a lot of effort, and they are beginning to understand that this Oriental center
, they bet correctly, he is likely to be a huge cash cow in the future. At least, his commercial value will be stronger and better than his compatriot Yao. After all, just in terms of style and playing style, he
It obviously needs to attract more fans and attract more attention.
This is also a very important factor when buying sneakers.
Back then, Howard broke the rule of centers selling shoes and endorsements with poor results. Wasn't it also because of his violent playing style and extremely beautiful body? Don't forget that commercial endorsements and the largest contracts were all big things in the beginning.
The patent of being tall. Chamberlain was a typical money-grabbing maniac back then. He had a series of endorsements. Was he influenced by the reason of being "too big"? In addition, Tang Qian is still Chinese, which makes it easier to open up the Chinese market. By 2014
Years have passed, and all fools know that the Chinese market is becoming more and more important. Look at KFC. It is obviously not as good as M in Europe and the United States, but in China, KFC has completely surpassed the latter. And in this country's market alone, KFC's income is as much as
The financial situation is much stronger.
Seeing this, AND1 quickly formulated a plan. They will use Tang Qian to expand rapidly in China, completely compete with Adidas and Nike, and become a Chinese imported sports brand, a three-legged situation. This is obviously very difficult in Europe and the United States in a short period of time.
It is difficult to achieve, but in China, it is not impossible. So when Dana’s team made a detailed schedule and project proposal, Seth Berger quickly nodded and signed. It must be said that this strategy
, is a "strange move" for rapid rise. As long as the Chinese market is completely opened, a large amount of funds can flow into AND1, which will also give AND1 a re-emergence and provide huge foundation and confidence.
Therefore, this time, AND1 company made Tang Qian's first domestic publicity plan in a very humane way, and you can see that at the entrance of the newly built AND1 flagship store, there is a figure that is one-to-one with Tang Qian's height and build.
Bronze statue.
It can be seen that AND1 has put a lot of thought into it.
As soon as he returned to his hometown, Tang Qian immediately felt even greater enthusiasm. A large number of fans blocked his way forward, and their crazy shouts made Tang Qian immediately feel that he had not chosen the wrong step, and he had not chosen the wrong choice to play basketball.
If you don't play basketball, can you return home in glory so quickly?
Disaster.
So Tang Qian is very happy about himself.
This is the first time for a ribbon-cutting, and in this ordinary city, celebrities rarely come down. So this time, Tang Qian’s relatives in the city who could be present were all called by Tang’s father and Tang’s mother, because they wanted to show it to the entire family.
Look, look at how outstanding his son is. At the same time, what Tang Qian didn't expect was that there were actually politicians present at the opening of a flagship store. It seemed that AND1 really didn't spend less money and put in more effort.
.
Tang Qian naturally remembered how AND1 treated him. He decided to renew his contract with AND1 next year, lest the latter always worry that Tang Qian would be poached by Nike and Adidas.
This is Tang Qian's basic way of dealing with things. You are good to me, I will be good to you, repay kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred.
After participating in some activities, Tang Qian was invited to a local charity auction. All transaction amounts from the event will be donated to poor children in poor areas. The leader of this event is actually none other than ADN1
The company itself. With the satisfactory sales of Tang Qian's signature shoes, their capital chain has become abundant again. And seeing that AND1's capital chain has returned to normal, those banks that were previously reluctant to lend money began to relent and began to provide loans to AND1.
Implementing a support policy. This is simply something that AND1 never thought of. Just over a year ago, just because of signing a Dongfang center, the situation has changed. Including AND1's company valuation, it has also risen, from "bad to cheap"
It has become a "potential stock". The opportunity for AND1 to re-list is now beginning to be put back on the agenda.
Therefore, Seth Berger, chairman and founder of AND1, immediately decided to establish a Chinese branch, mainly responsible for operating many affairs on the other side of the ocean. This was also the first real branch opened in a foreign country after AND1 was resurrected.
In the sense of a multinational branch. Because Seth Berger believes that they are still Americans after all, and they do not know much about the national conditions on the other side of the ocean. Not only does it consume a lot of manpower, material and energy, but it is also prone to various problems due to "water and soil conditions".
"Unconvinced" and "ridiculous" problems arise. All this illustrates the importance of Tang Qian to them. At least for now, the Lakers No. 29, he is the irreplaceable "life-saving straw" equivalent to AND1.
No matter how you hold it now, that's what it should be.
This event was organized by Chen Bofeng, the general manager of AND1 China Branch. The purpose was to allow Tang Qian to have a little contact with some domestic celebrities and increase his influence and connections in the country. Although Tang Qian was originally reluctant, Taylor
But he was full of interest in this, so he nodded and agreed.
Because it is a semi-closed charity event, there is no need to worry about exposing Taylor.
This time Taylor stood behind the scenes most of the time. Only the staff and the reception team around Tang Qian knew about it. Tang Qian knew that some domestic media liked this kind of gossip the most, and he didn't want to be entangled in this kind of news, so
Taylor has never been allowed to appear in public. However, since it is a semi-closed event without reporters and media, Taylor can be allowed to attend in public.
These domestic celebrities and celebrities are not fools, and they will not deliberately expose the affairs of Tang Qian and Taylor.
When he arrived at this place, Tang Qian met countless domestic celebrities for the first time, including TV series stars, movie stars, traffic stars, popular young people, well-known directors, local businessmen and entrepreneurs. Suddenly, he really felt that he was the same as
It was different before. He was no longer the ordinary student who could go out and run around without being recognized.
Otherwise, how could he have a face-to-face conversation with these people?
"You are Xiao Tang, you are really tall and strong. Are you interested in guest starring in my new song?"
"Xiao Tang, I am the director of XXX. I am currently preparing for the XXX movie. I have a role here. In fact, you can come over and give it a try."
"Brother Tang, is this Taylor Swift next to you? What are you..." asked a young guy.
"Does this need to be said? You don't have any eyesight? Everyone has come here with you, what do you think it is?" A second-rate female star winked at Tang Qian. At first glance, she was really charming.
However, Tang Qian brought Taylor to the stage, which surprised many people. After all, compared to their celebrity status, Taylor's celebrity status is much greater. If it weren't for Tang Qian, she would not be able to appear in China now. So,
This is equivalent to a change of direction that increased Tang Qian's personal charm, causing many people to start to take a new look at Tang Qian.
The event went smoothly. After the event, Tang Qian's final auction was equivalent to a donation of almost 5 million yuan. This was of course an astronomical figure for him in the past. Now, it can only be said that his mentality is different.
After getting on the shuttle bus arranged by the event organizer, Tang Qian said: "You don't know, this is the first time for me to see so many celebrities and celebrities in person. It's really a bit of a dream." Taylor didn't take it seriously.
: "You are also a celebrity. If you really want to say it, the loyalty and craziness of sports fans are no worse than that of entertainment stars. You just need to play better and better and make more and more money. When these people see you in the future,
I need to be polite to you, and all my words belong to Brother Tang."
"Well, I'm just feeling a little emotional, but it's all in vain. My main occupation is to play basketball. I'll leave the rest." Unexpectedly, Tang Qian had just finished speaking when he heard Taylor say something unexpectedly.
He said, "Then you and those female celebrities are going to stop ordering too? Tang." "Ah? What female celebrities?" Tang Qian said a little confused.
"A busty girl and a sexy girl, they both winked at you, didn't you see?"
"Ah? I didn't see it." Tang Qian had just finished speaking when he heard Taylor's eyes were like swords and said: "This kind of thing will only happen more and more in the future. Tang, you have to cheer up and don't let the time come.
If you get stuck in, you won't be able to get out. You exercisers must learn to exercise moderation. You know, it's best to only have one."
"Well, okay, okay, okay, I get it." Tang Qian was a little "sweating", but in this situation, he could only nod, and it was inconvenient to shake his head. Unless he wanted to face a more violent storm, then he could
almost.
After arriving home, Taylor quickly changed his expression to a "little bird" expression and said: "Let's go home, our uncle and aunt are waiting for us. You have to ask me to behave better. Do you hear me?"
?”
"Well, okay, okay." Tang Qian smiled bitterly. At this moment, he suddenly felt that in some aspects, girls from any country were similar.
As soon as he opened the door and saw his parents, Tang Qian suddenly felt excited and said, "Mom, Dad, I'm back."
But the situation was a little different from what he expected, because Father Tang and Mother Tang actually walked over to Taylor beside him and said: "Oh, American girl, you are tired, come in, come in, your uncle and I are waiting for you.
It’s been a long time. Let me see, um, not bad, my butt seems a little bigger, ah, it’s nothing, nothing, come in, come in, I’ll make you a midnight snack.”
"Mom, don't you want to be warm with me?"
Tang's mother gave Tang Qian a roll of her eyes and said, "You and I have been in love for so many years, what else is there to see? Come in quickly, Taylor came all the way here, why don't you treat her better?"
"Okay, okay, you're right." Tang Qian smiled bitterly, this is really his mother.
Tang Qian briefly told Tang's father and Tang's mother about his affairs with Taylor. Unexpectedly, Tang's mother's eyes suddenly lit up and she asked: "Then when are you going to get married and have a baby?"
Huh? Mom, you are too...
After some back and forth, Tang's mother finally suppressed the idea for the time being. Tang Qian and Taylor both breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the time at home is always short. After Tang Qian and Taylor were "fully armed" and looked at Tang's mother's flower shop and went shopping in a place with relatively few people, they set out again early the next morning.
The journey back to America.
At this time, Tang's mother pulled Tang Qian and kept urging and nagging, but Tang Qian listened patiently.
"Remember to add or remove clothes. If you are alone in a foreign country, don't cause trouble. Do you understand?"
"You are a professional player, but don't work too hard in training. You can't play basketball forever, right? You have to retire and do something else. How can you do it without a good body?"
"Taylor, if there is anything about this kid that makes you unhappy, then you call your aunt and I will help you teach him a lesson!"
Compared to Tang's mother's "nagging", Tang's father only said one thing to Tang Qian: "Play hard, don't be blinded by money, take care of yourself, and don't worry about your family." Tang Qian nodded, and he saw it.
Because Tang's father and Tang's mother's economic conditions have greatly improved, his energy and spirit are different now, so unless something big happens, he doesn't need to be distracted.
"Don't worry, Dad. You and Mom have to take care of yourselves. If you have anything to do, call me. I've given you some people's phone numbers in case of emergency. Don't forget to use them in case of emergency."
"Well, don't worry, good men are everywhere, don't worry about him." Father Tang said.
While waiting at the airport, Tang Qian suddenly saw a message on his mobile phone.
The Los Angeles Lakers reached a two-way deal with the Chicago Bulls through a sign-and-trade.
