Chapter 158: Basketball is life
The Basketball Division of Yuqun Group moved very quickly.
After the Yang University team returned to Yangcheng by flight the next day, they were able to see countless promotional posters all over Yangcheng, and on the many LED screens in Yangcheng, there were also constantly changing the pictures of various Yang University school team games.
This publicity fee alone is worth a lot of money.
These posters include a family photo of Yangda finally holding the golden rebound, and various cool actions of Chen Zhi and Li Xuedong on the court, especially Chen Zhi's dunk and Li Xuedong's three-point projection.
These two people are naturally the focus of Yuqun Group's publicity, one is the core of the future team, and the other is the basketball ambassador who has been signed.
"Chen, several domestic sports equipment companies have contacted me and want to sign endorsement contracts with you."
Shortly after getting off the plane, Zhou Jian called in.
"How many are they?" Chen Zhi couldn't help but be a little curious.
"None of the well-known sports equipment manufacturers in China are lagging behind, and they started contacting me last night, but most of them are here to find out, after all, your draft prospects are uncertain now, and they will not pay much for endorsements." Zhou Jian said truthfully.
"Brother Zhou, no matter what kind of endorsement it is, technical strength must be given priority, followed by endorsement fees, as long as the difference in quotations is not too big. Also, don't take any commercial endorsements lately. Chen Zhi said.
Zhou Jian on the other end of the phone smiled when he heard this, in fact, Chen Zhi could sign some short-term contracts during this time, after all, he is likely to lose the draft now, and while the draft has not started yet, maybe he can make some money through negotiation, once he really loses, then his value will not be much.
It is rumored that Huaxia's current basketball brother Space Yi and Hook have a one-year endorsement fee of 5 million Chinese dollars, and the contract between Sun Dasheng, the former Lakers water cooler champion, and domestic equipment manufacturers is 1.5 million Chinese dollars, and many Chinese players have endorsement contracts of 100,000 or hundreds of thousands.
This can be seen how generous Yuqun Group is in signing a contract with Chen Zhi, of course, Chen Zhi can be regarded as young and potential, even if he can't enter the NBA this year, there will be development opportunities in the CBA, and there will still be opportunities to enter the NBA in the future, which is different from the players who have not been able to enter the NBA in this life.
"I know, there is another thing to inform you, the Huaxia Sports Basketball Park program team contacted me and said that they would do an exclusive interview with you in the past two days and ask you when you have time!" This is the real purpose of Zhou Jian's call.
"Then tomorrow!" Chen Zhi said after thinking about it.
In fact, he couldn't wait to find a place to use the advanced projection training card immediately, but considering that the basketball park is a very influential column, it must have a huge promotion effect on soul power collection, so he can only postpone the projection training.
The basketball team of Yang University brought the CUBA championship back to the school, and the school gate was full of teams welcoming the victorious return of the king of the school.
This time, the number of people who came to welcome the return of the Yang University varsity team was even larger, but with Li Wei and a group of members of the Yuqun Basketball Division, it didn't look so crowded.
Even if the school is no longer interested in sports, it has to convene a welcome meeting and commendation meeting for teachers and students of the school.
It's just that this commendation conference is really a very pure commendation conference, and there is no follow-up after the principal commends him, and there is no small part of the commendation conference such as giving out red envelopes!
Fortunately, Li Wei said on the spot, and Yuqun Group increased the amount of the three-year endorsement contract signed with the school team to three million!
This is what the commendation conference should look like.
After the commendation meeting, the Yang University team dispersed.
In Jiang Lanyue's words, their off-season has arrived, and they can relax for a while, as long as they train properly to stay in shape.
Chen Zhi wanted to talk to Jiang Lanyue, she seemed to be in a bad state in the past two days, especially after the finals, she often looked a little trance, which made Chen Zhi a little worried.
As a friend, Chen Zhi felt that he had an obligation to care about Jiang Lanyue.
But before that, Li Xuedong accidentally found Chen Dao first.
After winning the championship, Jiang Lanyue's state became very poor, but Li Xuedong was the opposite, and the ice shell wrapped around his body seemed to have finally begun to melt.
"Is there time?"
He asked Chen Zhi, although he didn't have a smile, but he didn't have the coldness that rejected people thousands of miles away.
Chen Zhi nodded, planning to talk to Jiang Lanyue later.
"Bring your slam dunk championship certificate."
Seeing that Chen Zhi immediately planned to leave the dormitory, Li Xuedong added.
Hearing this, Chen Zhi probably knew what Li Xuedong was going to do, took out the certificate from the cupboard and handed it to Li Xuedong, and saw that he still had a certificate in his hand, which seemed to be the slam dunk champion certificate he gave him.
"Thousand Deer Mountain!"
A taxi was hailed on the side of the road, and Li Xuedong said a place name.
Sure enough, Chen Zhi couldn't help but think of it when he heard this.
Qianlu Mountain is very famous in Yangcheng, and the scenery is very beautiful.
However, this mountain is famous not because of its beautiful scenery, but because of the Qianlushan Cemetery, which is the only cemetery area in Yangcheng.
After getting out of the car, Chen Zhi followed Li Xuedong up the steps, the mountain road was winding, and there were tombstones not far from both sides.
When he was about to reach the halfway point of the mountain, Li Xuedong stopped continuing to go up and turned left to a relatively recent cemetery.
Li Xuedong came to a tombstone, put the two slam dunk contest certificates in his hand in front of the monument, took out a lighter and lit it.
Chen Zhi glanced at the posthumous photo on the tombstone, he was a very delicate and sunny young man, and he looked a little immature.
"The glory of a city is his masterpiece, my friend, brother, master, guy who loves dunk so much!" Li Xuedong looked at the burning flames with a sad expression.
"Got the CUBA championship that he regarded as his bag, and finally had the face to meet him. Because he said that the road ahead is difficult, and exhausting youth may not be realized! Even if I can't make it happen, it shouldn't be a shame on him. Li Xuedong has never talked so much.
After the two honorary certificates of the slam dunk contest sent to heaven were burned, Li Xuedong patted the tombstone lightly and said softly: "Let's go!" ”
Chen Zhi wanted to ask about this person's situation, but after thinking about it, he stopped thinking, Siren has passed away, why bother asking again.
Li Xuedong said: "It's hard for me to mention this person in the face of Jiang Lanyue, do me a favor, and persuade her to be herself!" She's done enough and I'll do my best for him the rest of the way. ”
"She and him?" Chen Zhi confirmed.
"Childhood sweetheart." Li Xuedong sighed and said.
Sure enough, Chen Zhi had already seen that name on the tombstone just now, and he had a different surname from Jiang Lanyue, so there was only one possibility for the relationship between the two.
"Hey, what about your studies? How can you say that you also went to college and dropped out directly, have you considered it? After figuring out Jiang Lanyue's question, Chen Zhi suddenly asked Li Xuedong.
"Barkley said, 'College diploma? That's what it is, it's all that works for me. 'If you really want to learn, you don't need that diploma. Li Xuedong smiled after speaking.
Seeing Chen Zhi nodding, he leaned on the back of the taxi seat, hugged his neck with his hands behind his back and said:
"For me, basketball is life."
Sunlight shone through the car window and sprinkled on his face.
Three more, give a monthly pass...
