After a while, Smith drove to Chen's apartment, and the two of them rushed to the Chandler Fashion Center in Phoenix, which is one of Fix's two famous business circles.

On the way, Chen learned from Smith that one thing he hadn't paid attention to was the all-star vote. This season's All-Star voting will open in mid-January, and now the All-Star voting is in full swing.

But because this is a shrunken season, everything seems so tight and anxious throughout the season. And the reason why Chen Shu didn't pay attention to this matter was because he really didn't have much time, and his time was already full of training and competitions. Second, when the All-Star voting began, Chen Shu was still a little minion in the Bulls, as a draft loser, he really couldn't get the attention of the media and American fans, not to mention American fans, even Chinese fans, although they all knew that Chen Shu joined the NBA, everyone was very supportive, but even if it was Chen Shu's fans, they thought that Chen Shu, who joined the NBA as an undrafted pick, could stand in the NBA is their greatest wish.

It wasn't until Chen Shu was traded to the Suns that he continued to play a wonderful performance, and gradually got the team's recognition and was cultivated as the core of the current team, coupled with the previous league management increased the hype for Chen Shu, more and more Chinese fans are also full of hope for Chen Shu's future.

So recently, Chen Shu's All-Star votes have skyrocketed, and Chen Shu's votes were only tens of thousands of votes before, and he could only rank in the middle and bottom among many players in the league, and it has soared to more than 400,000 votes in the past two days, and this number of votes is currently ranked 8th among Western backcourt players! Although only the top 2 can be confirmed as All-Star starters, looking at the growth momentum of votes, Chen Shu still has a chance to win the All-Star honor in his rookie season. Although this result is not outstanding compared to Yao Ming, Yao Ming squeezed out O'Neal to enter the All-Star starter in his rookie season that year!

But this is understandable, after all, Yao Ming entered the NBA as a champion back then, and he carried the expectations of fans across the country. Chen Shu's starting point is much worse, and the fans' expectations are much less, but as the season progresses, fans gradually find that Chen Shu's rookie season is even more powerful than Yao Ming, which gives Chinese fans infinite reverie.

The current king of votes in the West is Kobe, who now has 1.71 million votes, followed by Griffin, Durant, Paul, and Bynum, and Howard in the East is currently 1.76 million votes, followed by James, Wade, Rose, and Anthony. These 10 people currently have a clear advantage in the number of votes among the frontcourt and backcourt players, and if nothing else, these 10 people will be the All-Star starters this year. Now in Smith's view, the most likely to surpass in the next week is Chen Shu, it is impossible to surpass Kobe, but it is still possible to surpass Paul's current 940,000 votes!

In the car, agent Smith suggested that Chen Shu seize the opportunity of the All-Star and continue to enhance his fame, which will be of great benefit to the enhancement of Chen Shu's commercial value. Smith's persuasion Chen Shu registered on Sina Weibo in China and canvassed for votes through self-media. Chen Shu didn't hesitate, after all, this was a thing that would do no harm to himself. Chen Shu opened Sina Weibo in the car, but because his documents are not on his body, he can't authenticate the big V. I can only do it for the time being, and wait until I go back in the evening to get it.

In the hot chat between the two, they soon arrived at their destination. The shops in Chandler Fashion Center are even more expensive, and it seems that Anta has made a lot of money. When the two arrived at their destination, Anta staff soon came to guide them, and the event had not officially started because Chen Shu had not arrived. However, at this time, there was already a long queue inside and outside the shop, so Chen Shu and the others entered through the back door of the shop under the leadership of the staff working at Anta.

When Chen Shu just entered from the back door of the store and walked to the signing platform set up by the event, the fans inside and outside the store immediately cheered excitedly, and many people shouted Chen Shu's name in Chinese!

Chen Shu only looked around at this time, looking at so many fans, Chen Shu was still very excited, this was the first time he saw so many of his fans gathered together!

Chen Shu looked at the layout of the whole store by the way, the store area is very large, there are seven or eight bays, roughly estimated that there should be more than 800 square meters, although it is according to the bay, but the periphery of the store presents irregular arcs and folded lines, and the decoration of the store is also full of modernity!

More than 800 square meters is really very large for a sports brand store, at least Chen Shu has not seen more than 800 square meters in any shopping mall before, of course, it may be that Chen Shu is lonely and unheard.

There are a variety of shapes of sneaker racks in the store, but at this time the sneakers are not full, many of the shelves are really like works of art in Chen Shu's opinion, but at this time, because the signing will start immediately, the store has planned a snake-shaped team, and the fans are lining up, while casting adoring eyes to Chen Shu! Among them, there were many little girls who cast a charming and fiery gaze at Chen Shu, looking like they were going to eat Chen Shu, which made the latter a little overwhelmed.

Most of the fans who came to the signing were Chinese, of course, there were some black and white, but most of them were young people and children, but this was already a relief to Chen Shu! It seems that he is still very popular in Phoenix, Chen Shu thought proudly.

In fact, Chen Shu can be proud, at present, it is roughly estimated that there should be thousands of people who come to participate in the signing meeting, in addition to the shops, Anta has also temporarily rented the square outside the shops for this signing meeting, and there is already a long queue at this time! And there are many fans coming one after another, and the number is still increasing.

Today is not only the signing of the ANTA Phoenix store, but also the unified release date of Chen Shu's customized sneakers in the United States and the mainland. For the launch of the sneakers, Anta has also done enough publicity, coupled with the continuous eye-catching performance of Chen Shu during this period of time, as well as the publicity bonus of the alliance, judging from the response of the sneaker pre-sale market, the effect is very good.

Of course, the response of the U.S. market was not very good, but the pre-sale orders in the Chinese market were overwhelming, and Anta's own production workshop was already working overtime, and even found some other OEMs to speed up the production of sneakers. It can be imagined how popular Chen Shu, as the only Chinese who competes in the NBA and is also the most selling outside player in China!

The signing meeting officially began, and the fans came to Chen Shu's signing table with the sneakers they bought in turn, and Chen Shu's biggest job today was to sign autographs for them one by one!

Although most fans are Chinese, in fact, they are already Americans, many fans' parents and even grandparents came to the United States to develop, they received the same education as Americans, so they do not have the restraint of Chinese, but more outward.

Among the people who came were not only Chinese, but also many Asians, such as people of island descent and Koreans and descendants of Southeast Asian countries. In addition to these, there are also some Asian students and tourists who come to meet their idols.

The male voice was better, and he shouted "Come on, God of Books!" "I like your three points the most!" "Your three points are too accurate!" and other slogans, but those girls are terrible, and some ask Chen Shu to sign their names on their clothes, which is actually no problem, and Chen Shu agreed.

But when this girl took off her coat directly and began to untie her underwear, Chen Shu regretted it! It turned out that this girl meant to put her name on her underwear.

What's even more excessive is to put your name on your murder weapon... This Chen Shu really can't put pen to paper...

The signing lasted for 4 hours, and Chen Shushan signed more than 2,000 signatures... Finally the signing meeting ended, Chen Shu coped with all kinds of fans, all kinds of postures, and reluctant fans, Chen Shu was tired and collapsed on the seat, Chen Shu felt that this was more tired than playing a game. Hey~ It's not easy to make money!

In the afternoon, Chen Shuben wanted to go back to rest directly, but Anta insisted on keeping them for dinner, saying that the restaurant had already been arranged! When Chen Shu heard that Anta had arranged a Chinese restaurant, Chen Shu agreed without thinking about it, because he hadn't eaten Chinese food for a long time.

Anta arranged this Chinese restaurant, which is well-known in Phoenix, because the Chinese food it cooks is more authentic and is very popular with the local Chinese.

The name of the restaurant is Phoenix Impression, which caters to both Phoenix locals and Chinese, because Phoenix is a mythical beast in Chinese mythology and is also the translation of Phoenix City.

As soon as Chen Shu entered the store, Li Guangsheng, the owner of the restaurant, greeted him warmly, Boss Li was not as mellow and rich as the hotel owner in Chen Shu's impression, on the contrary, Li Guangsheng was thin and tall, only a little shorter than Chen Shu, and was around 60 years old, but he was still in good spirits, and he introduced himself while leading everyone.

Li Guangsheng, whose ancestral home is Guangdong, although his name is Guangsheng, he was actually born in the United States, but his grandfather has always had a Guangdong complex, so he named Li Guangsheng, and he also hopes that he will not forget his motherland. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, his grandfather followed a large number of Chinese immigrants from Guangdong to the United States to work in low-end industries such as railroad construction.

At that time, the laborers were mixing everything together and burning it casually, and they had something to eat. At that time, few laborers who went to the United States could cook, and Li Guangsheng's grandfather happened to be one of them.

Li Guangsheng said that his grandfather later saved some money, so he gave up his labor job to cook for the Chinese, and over time, gradually changed from a snack stall to a small restaurant, and eventually became the most famous Chinese restaurant in Phoenix.

Li Guangsheng introduced that they have developed two Chinese cuisines, one is traditional Chinese cuisine, and the other is American Chinese food suitable for American tastes. Under the recommendation of Li Guangsheng, Chen Shu and them ordered some Chinese dishes, including special American Chinese dishes such as stir-fried chop (Chop Suey), Zuo Zongtang chicken (tangerine peel chicken), fortune cookies, broccoli fried beef, etc., and the traditional Chinese food will not be introduced one by one.

In the end, Li Guangsheng smiled and said: "Xiao Chen, if you are satisfied with this meal, I can ask you to be the spokesperson of our restaurant, of course, we are a small restaurant, and the endorsement fee is not too much." ”

"Boss Li said with a smile, everyone is Chinese, we should help each other, no endorsement fee, just rush you have been insisting on opening this Chinese restaurant for decades, Chinese people can never forget the taste of Chinese food, this is to contribute to the majority of Chinese in the United States, so you don't have to be polite, we should go out, friends help! Do you think you need me to cooperate? ”

"Oh, thank you so much, and I don't need any cooperation, we have dinner, we take a group photo, and then we can frame the photo and hang it on the wall in the lobby. In fact, it is not easy to open a Chinese restaurant in the United States, although we are also a little famous, but the business is just like that, look at the number of Chinese in Phoenix now is 2~30,000, the reason why our family has been open, a large part of the reason is because of the complex. ”

After a long-lost Chinese meal, everyone took a photo with the boss and dispersed.
