853 Blockbuster News
Jay Fox couldn't help but look up and look around, the bustling crowd was increasing unabated.
In addition to print and online media reporters, TV station staff, alliance staff, official Rolex staff, etc., more and more people gathered in the huge space, and the number of people has exceeded 1,000 in a blink of an eye, and there is no momentum to stop.
The basketball court has evolved into a concert infield-style space, with a stage in front of it, which occupies almost a third of the court; The remaining two-thirds are in the stand-up rock section, where all the top media gathers and the crowd encloses the venue.
The rest of the attendees fanned out along the audience's seats.
Compared to the 18,000 spectators that can accommodate Staples Stadium, the number of people in attendance today seems to be nothing to mention, but at this moment there is an illusion that every corner of the line of sight is crowded, and the raging craze is taking up every inch of the stadium.
While all the media expected today's pomp and circumstance, the reality was far beyond expectations.
At the beginning of the year, Jay participated in the pre-game press conference of the Super Bowl, and the excitement was unimaginable, but compared with today's scale, it can only be said that it is a small thing, and this is enough to change the future fate of the entire league.
Even with it, Jay couldn't help but be faintly excited.
"Jay, Jay, it was rumored that Trent Balk was on the scene as well, what's going on?" Colleagues rushed over and looked at Jay expectantly, the first to broadcast the latest updates on the gossip.
Trent Balke, team manager of the San Francisco 49ers.
Jay blinked, slowed down for half a beat, and stood up abruptly, "Trent? What is he doing here? Subconsciously began to look around, and then realized that Trent must not be at the scene, otherwise the atmosphere would have exploded, how could it be that he was still eager to try?
"You don't know? The group of guys who asked the 'San Francisco Chronicle' just now, they all said they didn't know, and we thought they were playing stupid, but now that your reaction is real, is it true that everyone hasn't heard the news? It's not scoop, so why is it so tight? I suddenly had a sense of foreboding right now. β
Colleagues are chattering about their opinions, but Jay's head is full of question marks, why are the San Francisco 49ers on the scene today? "Only Trent? Or were other team managers in attendance? β
"I don't know. Now everyone is inquiring, things are getting more and more interesting, it seems that someone has seen Jerry Jones just now, but it is impossible to know for sure for the time being. β
"What?"
Although it was "uncertain for the time being", everyone in the surrounding circle exclaimed at the same time, and even the veteran reporter could not hide his surprise.
Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a cunning old fox, firmly holding the interests of the Cowboys in the palm of his hand, he can even be called one of the best and top professional team owners in the world, and there are not too many problems even removing the "one", until now, the development of the NFL is so mature and complete, but the Dallas Cowboys are still the only team in the league that can sell all the jerseys and merchandise independently.
In fact, the owners of the other 31 teams in the league have repeatedly wanted to join forces, forcibly deprive Jones of the franchise rights, and forced Jones to transfer the Dallas Cowboys through a series of regulations, but their cooperation has always failed, and Jones's methods and schemes can be seen.
The most direct portrayal is that in addition to the NFL, many professional team owners in the three major North American leagues have publicly expressed their desire to become "Jerry Jones".
If Jones had appeared at the press conference today, it would have been more complicated than you could have imagined -
What are the benefits that can attract Jones to come out in person?
Before the press conference even started, the expectations were already broken.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Ladies and gentlemen! A polite reminder came from the stage, and everyone followed the voice, "Please take a seat, today's press conference will start soon." I'm today's host, Ryan-Seacrest. β
Ryan Cclayste, the host of "American Idol", with the originator of this popular reality talent show around the world, Clyklest has had a brilliant career since 2002, and has hosted top shows such as the Super Bowl pre-game show, Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, etc., and is still one of the top hosts.
The appearance of the host once again added a touch of enthusiasm to today's press conference - the City of Angels, which is adjacent to Hollywood, also showed a dazzling halo of stars for the first time.
One after another, the restlessness at the scene calmed down.
As the entire Staples Field gradually darkened, leaving only the last spotlight on the stage, Seacrest officially began to host, briefly introducing the relationship between Rolex and sports, as well as the history of Rolex and the four major sports leagues in the United States, and livening up the atmosphere with a witty and humorous tone.
"Let us applaud Mr. Wolfgang MΓΌller, General Manager of Marketing at Rolex in the United States." Siclester raised his right hand and sent out an invitation, and today's protagonist finally appeared.
While Wolfgang and Sicrest were exchanging simple greetings on the stage, the reporters on the scene turned on the radar and continued to search:
What about Roger Goodall? What about Jerry Jones? What about Trent Balke? Outside of this, are there any other important people in the NFL?
However, Wolfgang was a crisp, concise personality, and the exchange of pleasantries lasted only a moment, and then cut to the point, and the mystery was slowly unveiled without warning, so that the reporters in the audience were a little unable to come to their senses.
"Rugby is undoubtedly one of the most adventurous, challenging and collaborative sports in the world, and this spirit of never giving up and fighting to the end is exactly what Rolex has always believed in. Rolex is always looking for opportunities to work with rugby, and today, we have found such a moment. β
Officially confirmed!
It is not a possibility to speculate on the appearance of Roger Goodall, but an official proof of the real hammer.
Wolfgang's words are just the tip of the iceberg of the truth, but the excitement of the reporters can't help but slowly overflow, this is definitely super heavy news for the NFL, a top sponsor like Rolex is enough to be compared with giants like Nike and Pepsi -
Even better.
Because Rolex has always focused on the high-end competitive sports market, there are still relatively few opportunities for cooperation in more popular and popular sports such as basketball, football and rugby. Starting today, Rolex has confirmed its partnership with rugby, does that mean there are more possibilities for similar collaborations in the future?
So, will other top brands besides Rolex also be tempted?
For these top crocodiles, their every move will have an immeasurable guiding effect on industrial development and economic trends. Just as Rolex is doing today's rugby business, this is a classic breakthrough.
No one is exempt, and the eyes are already starting to get excited.
Wolfgang could faintly feel the surging heat, and everything was expected, and that was exactly what Rolex was hoping to achieve, and he went on and on.
"For Rolex, we are always focused on the stories of challenging ourselves, overcoming ourselves, standing up for ourselves and ultimately surpassing ourselves, because that's who we live and what we strive for. For this reason, we really can't think of a more suitable representative than this player. β
Wait a minute.
What the? Representatives? What are the representatives? What players?
The reporters' minds have not yet had time to turn, and Wolfgang has not continued to create suspense, because there was enough suspense before, and now all he needs is to announce the answer, not to keep hanging his appetite, "Here, Rolex warmly welcomes, the quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, Mr. Lu Ke, to join our family and become a part of Rolex." β
What the?
What the!
What's going on?
What just happened?
Whose name is it?
Why is something not quite right?
The audience was stunned, and a pair of eyes looked at the stage blankly and sluggishly.
At this moment, the drum beats, all the lights go out, the spotlight points to the left side of the stage, and all eyes reflexively follow and move in unison; Then, they saw Lu Ke, who was dressed in a navy blue suit and a white shirt, appeared in the spotlight with a tall and tall posture, and walked onto the stage with steady steps.
Lu Ke?
Lu Ke!
It's really Lu Ke!
God, oh hell God! Who would have thought that Rolex's first step into rugby was Lu Ke!
No wonder Rolex is so secretive! No wonder!
Now all the answers are revealed:
This is definitely the big news! Not only in the NFL, but in the entire North American market, it is earth-shattering and absolute news! From Rolex, which aims at the high-end market, to Lu Ke, the unique representative of the NFL, the strong alliance between the two is even a cooperation that is enough to change the future market trend, and it is even more sensational and commercial than Yao/Ming's champion show at the beginning.
Jay, who was sitting in place, was completely stunned, his jaw couldn't help but dislocate, and the colleagues next to him patted him on the shoulder, expressing shock and complaining, but Jay had no time to take care of it, his head was completely dead, he couldn't believe his eyes, so he quietly and quietly stared at Lu Ke's figure.
For a long, long time.
Jay finally found his voice and uttered a word: Grass! Don't give me the exclusive! Damn Bambi!
