Chapter 82: Athletics Championships
Guo Zizhao and Chen Yanhao wandered around outside for a while, chatting about their recent training. At this time, Chen Yanhao asked intentionally or unintentionally, "By the way, I heard that you are not an athlete in the system now." Can you still decide your own commercial endorsement? ”
When Guo Zizhao heard this, he immediately understood Chen Yanhao's intention of pulling himself around today. It seems that paper still can't keep the fire, and everyone will know about it sooner or later. After all, they are so popular now, and those companies that want to find the national team to endorse have been inexplicably pushed away by the national team. Therefore, people who have a little relationship can know that they can choose the endorsement brand by themselves as long as they ask. Combined with Guo Zizhao's learning experience, I still don't understand what's going on.
"That's right!" Guo Zizhao didn't mean to hide it deliberately, "I have never attended a professional sports school, and my father has always trained me in his spare time." By the time I was in high school, I was able to meet the national athlete standard. So later, he was attached to the Shuchuan Provincial Sports Bureau, and participated in several national competitions before he slowly ran out. ”
"You're slow, huh? You just went to college and won the championship of the Universiade and the championship of the National Games. Now they have all won the world championship. I'm still in the Asian world. By the way, why don't you just join the system? So how can you ensure your daily training? Who will take care of the endorsement for you? ”
"I'm used to being free. I can't stand the discipline in the system, so it's better not to join, so as not to cause conflicts when I get it. The daily training is just like those athletes abroad. I paid for the coach and the security team, and now it is my dad and Coach Song Ping who I paid for to be in charge of my training, and this time I hired a team doctor to be responsible for the security. Endorsements, now it's mainly my mom in charge. "Guo Zizhao also has something to say.
"I said. I said that Coach Song retired last year, why did I see him in the training center again this year. It turned out that you invited it privately! Then you rely on private money, but you have to spend a lot? ”
"Well, it's okay. It's going to cost 100,000 a year. "Well, if you add the annual salaries of my father and mother, it will have to be more than 100,000." However, I estimate that in two years, we will have to increase the number of people, and then we will spend even more. ”
"Huh? Now it's spending more than 100,000 yuan a year? Can you earn it with your bonuses and endorsements? Chen Yanhao's eyes widened and he asked incredulously. You must know that the current national champion-level athletes, the retirement money is only about 100,000 yuan. This is not enough for Guo Zizhao to hire people for a year.
"Okay, if I count according to my current results, the bonus and endorsements are enough. You also know that I don't have many endorsements, so I'd rather lack than abuse. Besides, I'm not the time to make money from commercial endorsements. I also have my own investment business, and I am not short of money to spend. My mom is now in charge of negotiating my endorsements, and is also responsible for helping me oversee the business I invest in. Guo Zizhao also pretended to be a little forced invisibly.
"Oh, do you have a business that you still invest in? Big money! It seems that there is really no shortage of money, huh? Chen Yanhao also said enviously, "What kind of business are you investing in?" I don't know anything other than sports. ”
"It's nothing, I invested millions in the first half of the year and opened a company in Hong Kong with a few friends. After this competition, I have to fly over. Some time ago, the competition was a heavy task, so there was little time to go, and my mother was helping me keep an eye on it. Now that it's a little easier, let's go over and have a look. By the next year, there will be more tasks for international competitions, and I don't know if there will be time to watch them again. Guo Zizhao invisibly pretended to be forced again.
Chen Yanhao didn't know how to answer. Your sister, you're going to have no friends if you do this...... I'm still struggling for tens of thousands of dollars in competition bonuses every year, and your baby actually invests millions of dollars in business and doesn't have time to take care of it! No wonder you don't want to join the system, you are so rich, who wants to be disciplined all day long...... But since you are so rich, you actually ran away to compete for the championship with us poor people, this is too bullying, right......
Chen Yanhao also wants to cry without tears, they are also athletes, why is the gap so big......
Guo Zizhao didn't want to deliberately hit Chen Yanhao, but he just wanted to reveal his situation through Chen Yanhao's mouth. For those athletes who have some thoughts in their hearts, it is clear that my brother is not at the same level as you now, my brother is not short of money now, and the honor that my brother pursues is the champion of international competitions.
。。。。。。
The next day, the National Athletics Championships officially began. Guo Zizhao failed to show his new project this time, and could only continue to work hard in the 100-meter dash and 110-meter hurdles.
However, this time, Guo Zizhao has fused 10 attribute points again, increasing the "endurance" attribute to the level of a first-class athlete with 68 points. The remaining 10 stat points are estimated to have to wait until the end of September. However, Guo Zizhao is not in a hurry, after all, there are still 3 months before the Asian Games in early December.
Because there are no rewards to be won in this competition, Guo Zizhao has no motivation to work hard. In the preliminaries and semifinals, Guo Zizhao didn't even use any equipment, which cost experience points. Even so, Guo Zizhao still relied on his strong strength and skill to rank first in the semifinals with a score of 10.09 seconds and 13.39 seconds.
It seems that the increase in endurance also has a significant effect on the improvement of sprinting performance. Guo Zizhao estimated that if he was fully armed with running shoes and medicine in the finals, he would definitely be able to score 10 seconds in the 100 meters. There is no problem with breaking the record in the 110m hurdles.
But now there is no reward for breaking the record, and you have to spend so many experience points. Forget it, just use the running shoes to make sense. Otherwise, the results will be a little ugly. The official record should be broken at the Asian Games, so that the reward will be a little more.
In the finals, Guo Zizhao also spent 10 experience points to use the "Strong Primary Stride Running Shoes" and "Strong Primary High-Frequency Running Shoes" respectively. In the end, he won the two championships with a time of 10.03 seconds and 13.28 seconds. Guo Zizhao estimates that if his 10 attribute points are completely integrated with "endurance", he will be like today, and he can almost break the record just by using running shoes.
It's exciting to think about......
Well, except for a few spectators on the field who shouted "Guo Shaoxia, shoot an arrow!" without discipline! Guo Shaoxia, shoot an arrow! Except for Guo Zizhao's face full of embarrassment, everything else was perfect.
Grandma's, which immoral thing shouted first! If you stand up, I promise not to kill you...... Just shout your baby, you have to pronounce it clearly! "Shoot an arrow! Shoot an arrow! Lao Tzu shoots you in the face! Your baby's pronunciation is not clear, so everyone is coaxing...... Be kind!
。。。。。。
After the game, Guo Zizhao flew directly to Hong Kong with the whole team. I still have something to do, so everyone else can relax in Hong Kong and travel for a few days.
"Brother Li, Brother Wang, it's hard work this time. We can make a fortune this time, it's all hard work of the two brothers! Guo Zizhao was also full of joy after meeting, and hurriedly expressed his gratitude to the two.
"Haha...... Where will it be hard? A profitable business never feels hard. If only I could work so hard every day, haha......"
"That's, that's it, if we didn't have Guo Sheng's analysis, we wouldn't have a chance to work hard...... The more hard work the merrier, haha......"
The two are obviously very satisfied with this operation, and with such a high return ratio, it is obvious that Guo Zizhao's analysis is a great contribution.
"I want to, too. But if there is such an opportunity every day, I am afraid that the people of Hong Kong will directly throw me into Victoria Harbor to reclaim the sea, haha......"
"Haha......"
"Don't talk about it, your baby is finally here, we will give you the wind today. Let's go to Harpy today, and we'll talk about it tomorrow! ”
"Good!"
……
The next day, everyone began the spoils sharing meeting. Guo Zizhao got 70 million, and the other two were also 30 million each. After everyone was happy, Guo Zizhao continued, "This financial crisis, my role is mainly here. The latter situation is too complicated, and I don't expect any big fluctuations. So, I'm ready to reduce my stake in the company. After all, in the future, I will work hard in the direction of athletes, and there will be less attention to this aspect. If I keep taking so many shares, I will be taking advantage of you. ”
Guo Zizhao waved his hand, stopping the two of them from wanting to speak, "Two elder brothers, don't worry. Well, it's not like I'm just letting it go. This company is still dominated by you, so I just mean that you can take about 10% of the shares. If we have the opportunity in the future, we can still cooperate in this way, but I can't really help with the daily investment direction and operation. ”
In the end, the three discussed for a long time and determined that the total capital of the new company was 50 million yuan. Li Tianhao and Wang Tonglin invested 20 million yuan, each accounting for 40% of the shares, and the two are responsible for the company's daily management and investment operations. Guo Zizhao invested 10 million yuan, accounting for 15%, and is not responsible for the company's daily affairs. The remaining 5% is used as equity awards for other management.
After settling the matter of the new "Brother Investment Co., Ltd.", Guo Zizhao asked Wang Tonglin, a landlord, to come forward and register a new company in Hong Kong, the "Future Investment Co., Ltd." for himself. Let my mother first hang up the position of general manager, take the time to slowly build the company's shelf first, and then transfer the 60 million earned this time to the company's name. This is mainly for the convenience of investing in the country in the future. In China, there is a Hong Kong businessman's investment background that is still very popular.
After everything was done, Guo Zizhao had a good time in Hong Kong for two days. Soon, though, Adi's representative came to the door with a contract.
According to the negotiation agreement between my mother and Adidas, a cooperative endorsement agreement has been preliminarily reached. The main terms are: Guo Zizhao signed a 3-year contract with Adi and is the Asian spokesperson of Adi's sports brand; $600,000 for 3 years; If Guo Zizhao wins the Asian Games, each champion will be rewarded with $20,000, and the record will be rewarded with $20,000, such as 100 meters into 10 seconds, and another $20,000; Guo Zizhao is not allowed to participate in less than 4 international competitions every year, and each championship will be rewarded with 20,000 yuan and 20,000 yuan for breaking the record. The Olympic champion and the world champion will be awarded 30,000 yuan each, breaking a record of 30,000 yuan; Guo Zizhao shoots two commercials for Adi every year, and the shooting time is no more than 3 days.
Guo Zizhao pondered for a while, and the conditions were barely okay. Originally, the commercial value of track and field athletes is low among sports athletes. Tennis, football, golf and basketball are the most popular sports in mainstream Western society, so the outstanding athletes in these sports are the big money collectors for commercial endorsements. Even Usain Bolt, who became famous in later generations, had an endorsement contract with Puma after winning gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, which was only a few million dollars. It's less than a fraction of Tiger Woods. As for Liu Feiren's endorsement price after winning the Olympic gold medal, it soared by hundreds of millions, it was only because of the huge domestic market in China.
So Guo Zizhao didn't have too much to think about this time, let's sign it like this first, and when Lao Tzu wins the Olympic championship, the price of the next contract will increase! Hum......
