Chapter Seventy-Two: The Valuable Sawamura (Tribute to the Flying Knife)
First, Seido High School spent a lot of money in order to be able to recruit Sawamura.
A man who led his team to the national championship twice in middle school!
For a wealthy family like Qingdao High School, it has a fatal attraction. Needless to say, they haven't made it to Koshien for five years in a row. Even in the recent past, they have had a smooth ride in Koshien, and at this time, they urgently need to recruit talents like Sawamura.
People like Sawamura, even if they can't use it themselves, they must not give it to others.
As soon as Sawamura graduated, he was invited by almost all the high school giants in the country.
Including Inaki Kogyo in Nishitokyo and Ichidai Mitsuko.
Both schools have their own trump cards, and even the trump card of Daocheng Industry is still in the second grade.
For a while, they didn't need Sawamura to join. But even so, they still didn't give up and solicited Sawamura.
The purpose is the same as the above, even if you don't need it for a while, you can't leave Sawamura to others. And in the pitcher position, no one will dislike the number of people available to them.
Qingdao has no advantage over these national-level giants. But it needs Sawamura more than those giants, so they pay more and show more sincerity.
The position of the main force, the quota of the first army, scholarships, and tuition are free......
Needless to say, that's not to say.
Seido High School even guaranteed that after Sawamura graduated, even if Seido High School didn't get good results at that time, they would recommend Sawamura to a professional team they knew well.
Send it to the draft!
Seido High School is almost the lowest profile of an invitation to Sawamura.
And that's not all, Takashima also gave the school some rights, which the school didn't have in the first place.
To put it bluntly, it's money.
Or rather, an opportunity to make money.
Sawamura can be used as an image spokesperson, representing some of Takashima's brands.
For this, the Takashima family has to pay a lot of money to Sawamura Eisumi.
This is tantamount to increasing the scholarship for Sawamura in disguise.
Although Sawamura himself is not interested in these things, he is also not refused, and if he can get it in his pocket, he will never let it stay outside.
After the cooperation, the Takashima family suddenly found that there was a huge business opportunity in Sawamura, and found a contemporary spokesperson for Sawamura, who did not help Sawamura improve his fame, but their own sales have grown a lot.
Before and after the partnership, Sawamura increased sales by four percentage points for Takashima's entire family.
These four percentage points may not seem like much, but they can't stand the big business of the Takashima family, and for them, a four-percentage point increase, the money is gone.
The businessmen who have eaten the sweetness will naturally not let go of the gold mine of Sawamura, and they will immediately sign more endorsement contracts with Sawamura.
It was also at this time that they learned that Sawamura itself also endorsed three brands.
His business income is much more than that of most professional baseball players today.
The managers of the Takashima family suddenly felt that they couldn't play.
They have also invited many celebrities, but there are not many stars like Sawamura who have the ability to attract money.
The most terrifying thing is that Sawamura is not very famous in the baseball circle, except for being well-known in the baseball circle.
But his fans are all hardcore fans.
They are willing to throw money at Sawamura.
What does this mean? This shows that if Sawamura is more famous, his business potential is unlimited.
"The cooperation with Sawamura must be maintained for a long time!"
From then on, the Takashima family immediately established such a rule.
Until many years after Sawamura's professional retirement, their cooperation with Sawamura has not been interrupted.
Also without interruption is the first advertiser in Sawamura.
Hirota family!
The one in charge of filming this time is the one owned by the Hirota family.
The Hirota family is unique in the production of advertisements because of its investment in a large number of movies and TV series.
According to their contract with Sawamura, there are promotional shoots twice a year. These two propaganda shoots were not Sawamura who took the initiative to find them, but they took the initiative to find Sawamura.
The Takashima family has tasted the sweetness, not to mention the Hirota family, who has cooperated with Sawamura from the beginning.
Their current dedication to Sawamura is also what Sawamura has exchanged for with his own strength.
Sawamura is currently staying at Seido High School, so it is natural that the advertising shoot needs to be approved by Seido High School.
Of course, this kind of thing can't be left to Sawamura himself, so the Hirota family made such a request to Seido High School.
After receiving the request, the chubby headmaster was all excited.
In the face of the best filming unit in the country, how could he let go of such a good opportunity?
"Come on, come on, shoot on the campus of our Qingdao High School. In this way, you can also feel the living conditions of Sawamura-san more realistically. ”
I agreed to the advertiser's request to shoot a promotional video in Qingdao, and offered to cooperate by the way.
When you come, can you shoot the enrollment advertisement of Qingdao High School by the way.
Rest assured, we pay.
The shooting of the Hirota family is not something you can hire if you have money. There is no shortage of people who cooperate with each other.
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, with the bond of Sawamura, considering that there will inevitably be a request for Qingdao High School in the future, the filming unit of the Hirota family, so he agreed.
So this time, they came with a double shooting mission.
One is, of course, to shoot an advertisement for Sawamura sneakers, and the other is to shoot an enrollment video for Seido High School by the way.
In the past, Qingdao High School's admissions videos were shot by the school's own camera crew.
You can only say that it has a heart, how good it is, it must not be able to talk about it.
Now the chubby principal, decided to shoot an official.
This official video, of course, is also based on the baseball team of Seido High School.
When this question was fed back to Kataoka, Kataoka was a little silly.
Isn't that a fool in the days leading up to the Summer Games?
However, the players are very enthusiastic about it.
Recently, the pace of training at Qingdao High School has also slowed down. The players themselves do not dare to blindly practice, and the most important thing at this time is to ensure their strength.
Breakthrough, of course good!
Can blind training break through? No, the probability of injury is greater.
Unless they feel like they might be able to break through in a short period of time, most of them choose to stay put.
They should use their familiar rhythm and the most stable mentality to meet the upcoming summer competition.
Such a wait is very boring.
Suddenly, a shooting crew came, and it was just right to adjust.
Kataoka was also aware of the mood of the contestants, especially at Ochiai's suggestion, so he nodded and agreed, this shooting.
"If you really have the confidence to enter Koshien, of course, the more famous the players are, the better, which will be of great help and influence on their future career planning."
Everything is for the future of the children.
This reason is something that Kataoka can't refuse anyway.
