Chapter 150: Media Merchants, Flooding In

Back to the time node just now, the Olympic Games have ended at this time, and Li Qiang has become the person who has won the most gold medals in a single Olympic Games in history with 14 gold medals! And China, under the leadership of Li Qiang, defeated the United States again and became the country with the most gold medals in the Olympic Games!

Soon, the Organizing Committee of the International Men's Basketball Competition released a message to change the rules for some hits with the ball and jumping and dunking from the three-point line. If Li Qiang jumps and dunks from beyond the three-point line like in the Olympics, it will also be considered a foul. And the media has reacted to this rule change:

"The Martians Change the Rules of International Men's Basketball"

Li Qiang looked at this title and felt speechless, he actually got the title of "Martian"! And it's been getting more and more popular all over the world lately!

During the Olympics, the Chinese national team was also able to help Li Qiang push off most of the interviews with Li Qiang's busy preparations. But as soon as the Olympics ended, countless media came one after another, and countless merchants approached Li Qiang, hoping to endorse their products. Although Li Qiang already has a team of more than ten agents, he is still too busy for a while!

Li Qiang understands that although business endorsements can make a lot of money for themselves, it is also easy to make their reputation stink! For example, the overlord shampoo endorsed by Jackie Chan is a product that is harmful to the body! If not, he will not be ridiculed by hundreds of millions of people in the motherland because of a "duang".

After listening to Yao's advice, Li Qiang felt that it was indeed necessary to suggest a public relations team to deal with various storms that might occur in the future. So led by a partner of Liu Mengqi and Li Qiang, Li Qiang invited three industry veterans to form his own team. In order to let them work hard, Li Qiang also contributed no money, each of the three bigwigs was 5 million yuan a year, and the little minions who worked under him were also nearly 1 million a year.

Although Li Qiang has to invest more than $3 million a year for this, Li Qiang feels that this investment is still worth it. After all, if the reputation stinks, it is difficult to set things right.

Mr. Li carefully selected three large companies whose products were unlikely to have quality problems, including Coca-Cola, Nike and a domestic sportswear company. Li Qiang signed a ten-year long-term agreement with them. Although there are only three companies, Li Qiang still has hundreds of millions of dollars in his account at once. And in the next few years, Li Qiang can get tens of millions of dollars from these three companies every year!

What everyone doesn't know is that according to Liu Mengqi's suggestion, the agreement between Li Qiang and these three companies has some special terms! For example, every time Li Qiang breaks the record of 80 points, 90 points, and 100 points in the regular season, Nike needs to pay Li Qiang $500,000, $700,000, and $1 million respectively! In other words, if Li Qiang can break 80 points in a quarter of the regular season, then Li Qiang will have more than 10 million dollars in extra money!

And in the playoffs, that number will be doubled!

The terms also write that every time Li Qiang's team wins a championship (because they are not sure whether Li Qiang will play for the Timberwolves for the next ten years), Nike pays Li Qiang an additional $10 million! The offers for the regular season MVP and the finals MVP also reached $3 million and $5 million respectively!

In fact, Li Qiang also has his own small abacus about these terms. For Li Qiang, breaking the record of 100 points a few times in a season is almost the same as earning millions of dollars, there is no need to exhaust yourself to make some small money, and if you want to break it, you have to break it in the playoffs. Regular season MVP, this must be hard work, there is, if you are busy with other things in the regular season and can't take care of the team, it doesn't matter.

However, his team is definitely going to enter the finals, and the championship is definitely going to be won. So basically, the $15 million for the championship and Finals MVP is a sure thing to give to me.

In fact, this clause is good for both Li Qiang and Nike. Nike is not a fool either, and gave money to Li Qiang for nothing. Because Nike's biggest concern is that Li Qiang's amazing performance is short-lived. Don't say it's impossible, they don't know the real source of Li Qiang's strength, the mystery of the ancient Yijin Sutra. What they were worried about, or what they were most worried about, was that Li Qiang was suddenly injured.

And this is how countless geniuses in the history of the alliance fell. Many amazing players have quickly fallen after a few injuries, and they are no longer in the heroic state of the lupine scarf they used to be.

And being able to lead the team to the championship and win the MVP, these things will greatly promote the sales of Li Qiang's sneakers for Nike, and the extra profits will be more than more than 10 million in any case! So in fact, for Nike, this is also good!

In order to respond to the countless media rushing to interview the demand, Li Qiang held a special press conference. Unexpectedly, his press conference was unprecedentedly hot, almost equivalent to the popularity of the press conference held by the President of the United States after the terrorist attack in the United States!

Li Qiang chatted with the reporters speaking in the audience for two hours, felt dry, and announced the end of the press conference. Unexpectedly, the reporters were still chasing him and wanted to interview him.

Li Qiang finally chose CCTV, and our Celestial Channel was interviewed. Soon, this sensational long interview was broadcast on TV, and the title of the interview was quite orthodox, after all, it was Tianchao TV:

"Li Qiang - The Road to Success of a Sports Genius"

The length of this interview is an hour and a half, from Li Qiang's childhood to the present, even Li Qiang's good friends such as Huang Jun, Zeng Ze, Yang Bin, Wang Zhenyu and Kobe, James, Polles, Gasol, Lefu and others in the United States have been interviewed, and the lineup interviewed in the entire interview can be called luxurious!

However, Li Qiang felt relieved to see it, after all, the idea of the Celestial Empire is authentic, unlike some American TV stations and newspapers, which are talking about the Martians coming all day long, and what to do with the earthlings. Li Qiang knows that there are currently countless people in the United States who want to become supermen and lead humans to defeat himself, an invader from Mars!
