Chapter 252 Confidence or Arrogance

On the third day after Gao Xiaodong and Chen Qiang met, at the headquarters of Longteng Brokerage Culture Company in Yanjing, Chen Qiang and Gao Xiaodong met Sheng Xin, the vice president of the Star Group, and Fang Li, the marketing manager of the Star Shoes Co., Ltd.

Sheng Xin is a fat middle-aged man with a medium build and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He looks like a government official, not a vice president of a company.

Fang Li, the marketing manager, is a shrewd and capable woman, aged between 25 and 35, quite attractive.

Sheng Xin walked in and said, "I am Sheng Xin from the Star Group, and this is Fang Li, the marketing manager of our group Star Shoes Co., Ltd."

"Hello, Mr. Sheng, I'm Chen Qiang, and this is my employer, Mr. Gao Xiaodong."

After the two parties exchanged greetings, they sat down. Sheng Xin said enthusiastically: "This past season, Xiaodong's performance was really good. Even our Mr. Wang has heard of your reputation and called you a young hero. Mr. Wang seldom praises others."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "Xingxing is our national hero. When I was young, I played football in Xingxing's football shoes. I am very excited that Xingxing can find me as an advertising endorsement."

Sheng Xin was surprised to hear Gao Xiaodong speak so decently. This is a young man who is only 19 years old. He smiled and said: "In terms of fame, you are indeed not the most famous, but you are from Lu Province. Our new sneaker brand is on the market. When the time comes, of course it would be most appropriate to find a star from Lu province."

Gao Xiaodong felt a little harsh when he heard it, what does this mean, you hired me as your spokesperson just because I am from Lu Province, for the sake of fellow villagers?

Chen Qiang said: "Although Xiaodong's reputation is not as good as those rumored old stars, he is only 19 years old this year and has a lot of room for improvement. By this time next year, the price will not be what it is today."

Sheng Xin chuckled, and said, "Our Stellar Group has an annual turnover of 5 billion. It's not that we can't afford high prices to invite top stars, but our Mr. Wang doesn't like to invite celebrities to be the image spokespersons of our Stellar. Mr. Wang believes that every Stellar Everyone is the image spokesperson of the Stellar Group, but Xiaodong’s performance in Rexos this year has impressed Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang once said at a meeting that Xiaodong has the fearless pioneering spirit of the Stellar people, which is a spirit of creating miracles , That’s why we considered letting Xiaodong be the endorser of the “Superstar Soccer Shoes” series this time, don’t worry, if Xiaodong becomes popular in the past two or three years, we will raise the price for him.”

Chen Qiang frowned slightly, and said, "Mr. Sheng, can you show me your promotion plan and ideas for this product?"

Fang Li, the marketing manager, took out a plan from the briefcase and handed it to Chen Qiang, saying, "Of course, Mr. Chen has any good suggestions for us."

When Chen Qiang looked at the plan,

Sheng Xin said to Gao Xiaodong: "Xiaodong, the Olympic Games will open in less than two months. This is the Olympic Games at our doorstep. It's a pity that you can't participate. With your strength, you can be selected for the National Olympic Team Absolutely no problem."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "The decision on this matter is not up to me."

Sheng Xin said: "If you want to participate in the Olympics, our Stellar Group can help you. We are a state-owned enterprise, and we still have some relations within the system. There is a small conflict between you and the Football Association. Mr. Wang just needs to say something, Things will turn around, we still hope you can participate in this Olympic Games, it will be good for both of us."

Gao Xiaodong said proudly: "Thank you Mr. Sheng for your kindness, but since the Olympic team doesn't recruit me, it means that I'm not strong enough. Let's talk about it when I'm so strong that no one can ignore it."

Sheng Xin shook his head and said, "Xiaodong, the world is not that simple. Just like Eric Cantona back then, he is strong enough. It's not like he didn't make it to the national team. Later, the French team won the championship. He didn't have the honor of being a World Cup champion in his life."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "It's a pity that we were eliminated in the top 20 group stage of the national team qualifiers, and we have no chance to win the championship."

Sheng Xin was a little embarrassed. Seeing that Chen Qiang had finished reading the plan, he said, "What do you think, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Qiang nodded approvingly and said: "Very good, very innovative, I think this advertisement will definitely be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people after it is spread out."

Sheng Xin said, "When do you think this endorsement contract will be signed?"

Chen Qiang and Gao Xiaodong glanced at each other, Chen Qiang immediately understood Gao Xiaodong's meaning, and said: "President Sheng, Xiaodong and I will discuss it again, and I will reply to you in two days."

Sheng Xin was a little displeased and said, "Okay, I hope it will be faster. We hope to distribute the goods during the European Cup."

Chen Qiang said: "No problem, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, in short, just these two days, it won't be too long, let's go out and eat something together now."

"Okay, then disturb me."

Sheng Xin was not polite either, and went to the hotel with Chen Qiang and Gao Xiaodong. After eating and drinking, Chen Qiang took them to the KTV to sing songs, and finally arranged them to rest at the Sheraton Hotel.

Arriving at Chen Qiang's house, Gao Xiaodong said: "Brother Chen, what do you think?"

Chen Qiang said: "Xingxing has been going downhill for the past two years. They used to be the leader in the shoe industry. Now the shoe industry has become a leader in the shoe industry. Judging from their planning and creativity, they are also very ordinary. I think we should wait for tomorrow. Let’s talk about it after meeting with Uber.”

Gao Xiaodong said: "That's fine, that Mr. Sheng has a sense of superiority, as if asking us to endorse him is a charity."

Chen Qiang said with a smile: "This is the case for all state-owned enterprises, similar to government agencies. Don't think too much, let's talk about the situation of Uber tomorrow."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Okay, brother Chen, you can rest, tomorrow you have to meet with the people from Uber."

"Okay, you can rest too."

After a night of nothing, at 10:30 the next morning, Ding Xingyun, the president of Uber, brought Zhang Chao, the director of the planning department, to Longteng Brokerage Culture Company in person.

Neither Chen Qiang nor Gao Xiaodong expected that Ding Xingyun, the president of Uber, would come in person, and both of them were caught off guard.

Chen Qiang said: "Mr. Ding, you are here, my place is definitely full of splendor."

Ding Xingyun is 37 years old this year, but he is already a well-known rich man in China. He has reached the age of fat, but he has a very handsome figure and a handsome face. If it is not for his dignified and deep eyes, it is easy to take him as a A handsome uncle next door.

"Mr. Chen is polite." Ding Xingyun smiled and said, "I happened to be in Yanjing for a meeting. Zhang Chao said that he would come to see Mr. Chen today, and Xiao Dong is also here. I'll stop by to have a look. Xiao Dong, you and I are your fans now. what."

Gao Xiaodong was a little flattered, and said, "I'm a little proud of what Boss Ding said."

Ding Xingyun smiled and said: "Proud? Just be proud. If you are not proud of doing such a miracle in Rexos, I think it is nothing if I founded Uber."

Gao Xiaodong said: "I can't compare with Boss Ding for my achievements."

Ding Xingyun said: "Let's not be modest, this is something to be proud of for a lifetime, Xiaodong, Zhang Chao was originally here to talk about the endorsement, since I'm here, I'll talk to you personally, I want to speak for you, It was my idea, you may not know it, but Mr. Chen knows that I started my business by relying on entertainment stars, but now I find that for sports brands, sports is the fundamental attribute, and entertainment stars alone are not enough, so I want to find a sports brand I didn’t intend to find it in the football circle, but your appearance made me think that you are the most suitable candidate for Uber. We are in the same situation. Our Uber is not the top in the country. You are not the best player in the country, but I believe that after three years, we will all be the best in the country."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Thank you Mr. Ding, Mr. Ding is very good at encouraging people."

Chen Qiang laughed and said, "My blood boils with what Boss Ding said."

Ding Xingyun smiled and said: "Now we pay 2 million endorsement fees in three years. Many people may think that we have lost money because no one in China is looking for football players to endorse, but I think we have made a lot of money. In another year or two , maybe Xiaodong is not at this price."

Gao Xiaodong suddenly thought about the hot sale of Yu Lei and Song Xiaobo that day, his heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Ding, which one am I endorsing?"

Ding Xingyun said: "Our new football shoes, the sharp knife generation series."

Gao Xiaodong said with a grin: "Boss Ding, can I exchange half of the advertising fee for product sales commission?"

Chen Qiang didn't expect Gao Xiaodong to say this, and he was very upset, because there is no such advertising endorsement in China, so he can save money and ask for a commission.

Ding Xingyun was also very surprised, he was speechless for a while, he was completely in control of the situation, but this 19-year-old young man disrupted his rhythm with just one sentence.

Ding Xingyun looked at Zhang Chao beside him, and said, "Are there any examples of this in China?"

"No, but there have been times when NBA stars signed endorsements, but not many."

Zhang Chao replied that he was even more surprised. He was in charge of finding celebrity endorsements for so many years. , The employer actually negotiated the contract on behalf of the broker.

Ding Xingyun looked at Gao Xiaodong and smiled, and said, "Are you confident in yourself? Well, I'll make an exception for you, one million in three years, plus one-twentieth commission, but don't blame me for not reminding you , this year's economic crisis, I am not sure about the sales."

Gao Xiaodong said with a grin, "I would like to admit defeat."

Ding Xingyun was silent for a moment, and said loudly: "Okay, be confident and courageous, this is the most interesting endorsement contract I have signed, let's have a drink after signing."

Chen Qiang saw that the two had already made an agreement, and the two million became one million. He didn't have much hope for the commission at all, and felt very upset, but he could only smile reluctantly: "Okay, I'll treat you."

Ding Xingyun said: "No, I invite, I must."

Both Ding Xingyun and Gao Xiaodong are straightforward people, Chen Qiang carefully looked at the contract, and there was no problem, Gao Xiaodong immediately signed the endorsement contract, and then everyone went out to eat together, Gao Xiaodong and Ding Xingyun drank happily during the dinner, only Chen Qiang was a little depressed by himself.
