Chapter 348: Lin Guodong's troubles
The competition has five days, the time is very tight, from half past eight in the morning to half past eight in the evening, in addition to eating and resting at a fixed time is the exam, athletes from more than 50 countries are divided into two groups, the Chinese team happens to be in one group with the Australian team, the first junior group competition, the first subject is physics, but China is the second group, you have to wait for an hour and a half before playing.
The exams for the youth group were not until after dinner, so they went back to the dormitory first, and the athletes who did not compete in the junior group all rested in a large hall on the second floor of the library, surrounded by dozens of staff guards who were not allowed to move around freely.
These athletes are all thirteen or fourteen-year-olds who have never participated in such a competition, so they are very nervous, and some children even go to the toilet from time to time to relieve their tension.
Suddenly, four people came to the door and were immediately stopped by the staff.
"This is our pass!"
The first person said, pointing to the card around his neck.
The other party looked at it and immediately asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Find someone......... Liu Lang, it's me, come out!"
The person at the head saw Liu Lang sitting in the corner reading a book at a glance.
"Lin Guodong!"
If it weren't for Lin Guodong's appearance, Liu Lang would have forgotten that he was still the spokesperson of Coca-Cola.
"He's the face of our company, come to him for advertising now!"
Lin Guodong said to a staff member.
"Advertising?"
Several people looked at each other, how did they advertise during the exam time?
"If he doesn't, we won't allow you to touch him!"
The staff said coldly.
"No problem, no problem, it's over soon!"
Liu Lang walked over and said, taking other people's money, he naturally has to do something for the other party, besides, Liu Lang didn't take this exam seriously.
“…… Alright then, Howard, you stay with them, and if they affect others, get rid of them immediately!"
Find athletes to temporarily record commercials during competitions......... Nothing like this has ever happened!
But even if Lin Guodong is the representative of the sponsor, it cannot affect any unrelated athletes, this is the bottom line.
"Brother Lin, your company is very interesting, if you don't come to me these days, you have to wait until the exam!"
Liu Lang teased.
"Ahem...... Liu Lang, I'm really sorry, I've been too busy these days...... We'll be quick though, and we won't waste much of your time!"
Lin Guodong said apologetically.
"Liu Lang, who are they?"
Lu Mingzhi had been staying aside, and found that Liu Lang was found out by a group of strangers and hurriedly ran over.
"Grandpa Lu, they are from Coca-Cola, we had an agreement to help them shoot some commercials, no, now they have found it!"
"Liu Lang is an athlete from our country, and the exam will start in an hour, at this time you come to him to shoot, aren't you fooling around?"
Lu Mingzhi was anxious when he heard it.
"Grandpa Lu, don't worry...... Brother Lin, I'll only give you twenty minutes, if you can't finish filming in twenty minutes, then you can only wait for all my exams to be finished!"
"Okay, twenty minutes is enough, come, let's go downstairs!"
Lin Guodong looked very anxious, and immediately ordered the two people behind him, they should be cameramen, one carrying a heavy camera, and the other holding a toolbox.
Lu Mingzhi was not at ease, and came to the square downstairs with a staff member.
"Liu Lang, the advertisement is very simple, you take a bottle of Coke and drink it while walking in front of this statue, and finally say: Coca-Cola wishes me to become an Olympic athlete, what about you?
Lin Guodong told Liu Lang the lines.
Liu Lang pursed his lips when he heard this.
Isn't this false advertising? Participating in the Olympics has nothing to do with your Coke dime...... Besides, could it be that Coca-Cola came up with such a vulgar advertisement?
"Brother Lin, your advertisement is so bad, I can't bear to look at it directly!"
Liu Lang shook his head and said.
"I have an idea, it's just as simple, but it's much better than yours...... Now the weather is very hot, I was holding a can of Coke in front of the statue while drinking and wiping my sweat, suddenly someone called me: Liu Lang, the exam is about to be! I couldn't drink it anymore, so I hurriedly put down the Coke and ran forward, but before I ran far, suddenly there was a hiccup sound behind me, and when I looked back, the Coke that had just been placed on the ground was in the hands of the statue, and there was still Coke flowing out of the statue's mouth...... What do you think of this idea?"
"This ...... The idea ......... Absolutely!"
Lin Guodong was simply impressed by Liu Lang's brain, this idea is in the United States, and I am afraid it will become a classic advertisement after it is filmed!
"Okay, just follow your creativity, shoot quickly!"
This advertisement is very simple, Liu Lang just held a Coke in front of the statue to make a head up, and then a Chinese staff member shouted in that laborious Mandarin, Liu Lang put down the Coke and turned away, walked a few meters and turned around and made a surprised gesture to complete, it didn't take ten minutes in total.
"Great, great, Liu Lang, thank you so much!"
Lin Guodong couldn't help but express his gratitude to Liu Lang.
"Okay, Liu Lang, I'll go back to China in the afternoon, if everything goes well, this ad will appear on domestic TV in a month, and then ......... I want those people to see that I, Lin Guodong, can do such a big thing on my own, and let them know that my ability is not inferior to theirs, no, my ability is stronger than theirs!"
Lin Guodong was very emotional when he said this, and his voice trembled a little.
"This Lin Guodong, what's going on?"
Liu Lang noticed that something was wrong with the other party.
"Brother Lin, is your boss very dissatisfied with your approach to advertising with me?"
"Oh, by the way, I forgot you can read what other people think......... Alas, that's right, they were against me finding a child to advertise.
Say you want to find, but also find a world champion, but in China, who will advertise the world champion? Besides, your reputation Liu Lang is not bigger than those champions? In fact, they are all excuses, and now the domestic market is about to be beaten down by me, once it is released, sales will definitely increase geometrically, this is the most outstanding place, so many people are worried about it, and they all want to squeeze me away......... It's all my credit, where are they qualified to rob me!"
Lin Guodong trembled with excitement.
"I see!"
Liu Lang understood.
To put it bluntly, Coca-Cola's market prospects in China are gradually getting better, and there are already people in the headquarters who want to come over to "pick peaches", Lin Guodong has been conscientious in the past two years, in order to open the market, he has almost run all the relevant departments in the capital, and he has the current situation by "begging grandpa to tell grandma" everywhere.
Lin Guodong said that his boss was dissatisfied with his appointment of Liu Lang as a spokesperson, and he was afraid that it was just a pretense, in order to transfer him away to a "more suitable" person.
Liu Lang is very sympathetic to Lin Guodong, after all, he is Chinese, diligent and hardworking, but he still hasn't received the corresponding attention, no way, in the current American society, racial discrimination is still very serious, Chinese people may be able to live a good life through hard work, but if you want to become a high-level, it is basically impossible, unless you create your own business like Wan An.
"Brother Lin, you have education and ability, and the company doesn't reuse you as their loss!"
Liu Lang had no choice but to comfort the other party.
"Liu Lang, I believe that this advertisement will definitely open up the market, as long as I have achievements, those people will have nothing to say. ”
Lin Guodong is now full of confidence.
"There's nothing to say! I don't think so!"
Liu Lang secretly said in his heart, the other party clearly wants to drive you out, no matter how good you do, it's useless.
"Okay, this advertisement still has to be post-processed, I'll go back tomorrow, Liu Lang, I'll invite you to dinner when you return to China!"
Lin Guodong didn't delay, packed up and left with his subordinates.
"It seems that we Chinese are still being bullied abroad!"
Lu Mingzhi saw it clearly on the sidelines, and he couldn't help but sigh.
