12 Sponsorship

Every year in February and March, there is an event that will empty Wales of all people, the Six Nations Invitational.

What started out as a four-nation tournament within the United Kingdom (Ireland and Northern Ireland are a rugby association) was a match between each rugby association, and then France and Italy's respective rugby national teams joined in, and it became today's Six Nations Tournament, which is divided into a number of small cups according to the intensity of the competition: the winner of the match between England and Scotland will receive the "Calcutta Cup", the winner of Scotland and Ireland will receive the "Wine Cup", and the winner of France and Italy will receive the "Garibaldi Cup" The winner between England and Ireland will win the Millennium Cup, a rugby national team from the United Kingdom will win the "Triple Crown" if they defeat all three other teams from the British Isles in this event, a "Grand Slam" will be awarded if a team wins all five games by sheer strength, and if there is no Grand Slam, a tournament winner will be awarded according to the standings.

2012 is the undisputed 'Year of Wales' in European rugby history, and on Saturday 17 March, shortly after Lin Yilong invited guests at Bracken Timberland, the final match of the Six Nations Tournament will be played at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, home of Wales.

Lin Yilong struggled to understand the enthusiasm of the Welsh people for rugby, and even more difficult to accept the traffic congestion caused by the surging crowds around the Millennium Stadium, but the Yeang sisters were very busy with experiments and graduation projects at the end of the semester, leaving him alone to wander around Cardiff, and then took the train to the Bonas waterfront to find Katie here.

The seaside of Bonas was still silent, but the shores of Bonas, which were supposed to be a little lively, were unusually silent, except for the occasional heavy gasp of runners on the beach, except for the occasional heavy gasp of runners on the beach, except for the sound of waves crashing against the seawall.

When Lin Yilong entered the door, he saw Katie wearing a loose cotton T-shirt and pajama pants, comfortably burying herself in the sofa in the living room on the second floor, with yogurt on the side and a tablet in her hand, reading the latest issue of the case selection.

Lin Yilong sat quietly in the other corner of the sofa and very skillfully made a very brief face-to-face kiss with Katie. After Lin Yilong sat on the sofa, Katie naturally leaned her whole body towards him.

Tablets and fabrics of various colors were then casually thrown onto the carpet in the living room.

"I didn't expect you to come back today. Katie finally found a break for her to speak, "What a surprise. ”

"No surprises. Lin Yilong replied, "I also suddenly decided to come here today, and I want to come here to relive the old days when I was in school." ”

"Isn't the coverage of the revisit a little too much. Katie asked, and then was immediately sanctioned by Lin Yilong, "I mean, if Yilong can come to me more frankly, I will be happier, even if the right to lie to me, I will accept it." ”

"Alright then, if you like. Lin Yilong reacted for a while, "I think you are as smart as Katie, since you can know the meaning of my coming here, I don't think you need me to say it yourself, you will also experience my love." ”

"You have faith in me. Katie sighed, "Don't you know that a girl in love is stupid?"

"That's true for girls in general, not for my Katie. Lin Yilong said confidently, "Forget it, Katie, do you have any research on rugby?"

"I don't understand. Katie replied, "I used to play cricket in school, and although I would go to see hockey, I didn't know anything about rugby. ”

"My former landlady used to say that only rugby is a men's sport, as for football it is for girls. Lin Yilong replied, "How the hell is this thing playing?"

"Just hold the ball and go to the bottom line. Katie explained Lin Yilong's confusion, "It's just that you can't pass the ball backwards." ”

"Isn't it dangerous? Lin Yilong asked, "I feel that the 'bullfight' of rugby matches is really unsafe, after all, this country has had the Hillsborough tragedy." ”

"But what does this have to do with the Hillsborough massacre?" Katie didn't know.

"Think about it, aren't they all because of congestion, in the arena that is already full of confrontation, will it be more tense and more likely to be injured?" Lin Yilong asked.

"I don't think there's any similarity. Katie grumbled, "Why does Yilong always choke on these issues? Like you never drive."

"Because I know myself. Lin Yilong said very confidently, "So, in order to prevent more tragic consequences, it is better to sacrifice some conveniences." ”

"That's right. Katie said, "Why did you suddenly talk about it?"

"It's not the last match of the Six Nations. "I feel that the atmosphere of football in Wales is much stronger than football, you see, Swansea City played Fulham today, not many people watched. So, if I go and offer some sponsorship channels for the Six Nations, like O2 Telecom's sponsorship of England, will it give it some prestige?"

"What, you want to sponsor these teams?" asked Katie.

"I'm thinking about you!" Lin Yilong said.

"What's wrong with me?" Katie didn't know why, she had already said just now, she didn't know anything about rugby, but how could Lin Yilong want to connect these two parties.

"Since Katie wants to go down this path, I'd like to hear your plan. Lin Yilong said, "If you can get a good amount of sponsorship for a financially strapped team, will it add to your campaign?"

Katie didn't immediately reply, and began to think about how to make the impact of this matter most beneficial.

"However, this is also an Olympic year, so there's no need to just focus on Wales. "You might as well consider neighbourhoods like Surrey or New Merdan, but I don't agree that you would run in Northern Ireland, which is a bit too far from the mainstream in the UK." ”

"You're trying to persuade me to run for office?" called Katie, "but I don't have the necessary experience.....

Lin Yilong kissed Katie on the back, picked her up and turned around, and let the two face each other.

"Completely change the subject, I need you to audit my sponsorship plan for the Rugby League League tonight, can you give me an idea after Monday?" Lin Yilong kept staring at Katie's face and said suddenly.

"If there is information available to guide me. Katie replied confidently in her abilities.

"So, in that case, why do you think that your lack of experience is still a problem when you have ready-made information to guide you?" Lin Yilong asked.

Katie understood Lin Yilong's thoughts.

"As long as Yilong can support me, trust my abilities, and believe that everything is not a problem. Katie closed her eyes shyly.
