Chapter 517: Umegawa Kuko has nothing to say
Bobby Charlton and Alex Ferguson, two Manchester United legends, looked at Qu Bai, a promising young man, with a kind expression.
Here two old men have each dedicated their lives to Manchester United. In their eyes, any new star who emerges from Manchester United is worthy of respect.
When Qu Bai saw the two Manchester United legends, he seemed a little restrained, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Ferguson said: "Qu, you remind me of twenty-year-old Giggs. You are very fast and thin like him at that time. Your late goal against Real Madrid reminds me of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hasn't been the team's top scorer every season, but every one of his goals has been a crucial late one. ”
Bobby Charlton put a small plate of fruit pudding in front of Qu Bai: "Eat it, child, don't be restrained." ”
Assistant coach Bart did not hesitate to praise Qu Bai in front of his mentor Alex Ferguson: "This kid is the hardest working person in the team. ”
Ferguson propped up his glasses: "Well, that's a well-known thing. Mr. Five O'Clock. ”
Mu Shuai interjected: "Qu, you have to train your body well now." Ryan Giggs has not been afraid to go straight to the physical confrontation with any of the more physical centre-backs in the middle and latter stages of his career. ”
Qu Bai nodded: "Okay Mu Shuai." I've been working on my body a lot these days. ”
A group of people chatted with each other, and naturally, their topics were all on Qu Bai.
Liu Yun looked at all this with relief. Being able to witness the growth of his little brother and son-in-law is Liu Yun's happiest thing.
Mu Shuai even revealed to Qu Bai in advance that he would send Qu Bai to start in the next round of the league against Liverpool, the Premier League Double Red Club.
At this time, Mr. Kuko Umegawa of Toyota, the representative of Manchester United's sponsor, came over.
Toyota was a sponsor of Manchester United in the 90s, and David Beckham's first car was sponsored by Toyota. More than a decade before the 21st century, Toyota canceled its sponsorship of Manchester United. During a trip to Tokyo late this summer, Manchester United renewed their sponsorship contract with Toyota.
Mr. Kuko Umegawa greeted everyone, and then he said, "Qu, shall we talk alone?" ”
Qu Bai agreed to Umegawa Kuko's request out of politeness.
The two of them went to a table in the corner.
Umegawa Kuko said straight to the point: "Qu, you have a good and healthy public image. We are willing to cooperate with you in depth. We would like you to be the brand ambassador of Toyota in China and Europe. Of course, Toyota will pay you well. ”
Umegawa knows in her heart that for these stars, millions of pounds in endorsement fees only require a day or even a few hours a year to shoot a few commercials and a few photos. Endorsement contracts are as much as possible for any star. After all, no one in this world hates money. He was confident that Qu Bai would definitely agree.
Unexpectedly, Qu Bai replied bluntly: "I will not be Toyota's brand spokesperson." ”
Kuko Umegawa could barely believe her ears: "What did you just say?" ”
Qu Bai said loudly: "I will never be Toyota's brand spokesperson." ”
Umegawa Kuko asked in surprise: "Don't you want to hear about our Toyota's endorsement fee offer?" £1,500,000 per year, signed for 3 years. £4.5 million in a lump sum payment. I've been to Yenching in your country. £4.5 million, enough for you to buy a decent apartment in the 3rd Ring Road of Yanjing. ”
Qu Bai shook his head: "I'm sorry, I'm not a brand spokesperson for Toyota, and it has nothing to do with money." ”
Umegawa Kuko was a little surprised: "What is the reason? Qu, Toyota doesn't seem to have offended you before. ”
Qu Bai said: "Reason? I don't like Toyota, is that good enough? ”
Umegawa Kuko thought for a while and said, "You are a young man, so you are naturally enthusiastic. I warn you not to be influenced by the righteous rhetoric of those ethnic pigs. ”
Qu Bai took a sip of juice: "I don't need to be influenced by anyone at all. I heard my grandfather say that in 1943, the Japanese invasion army swept through Jinzhong. Half of our village was slaughtered. My great-grandfather was also killed by the Japanese ** team in that massacre. Well, Mr. Umegawa Pants, I admit that I just told a lie. It's not that I don't like Toyota, but I don't like the country of Wakoku. ”
The eloquent Umegawa Kuko began to induce Qu Bai step by step: "Qu, history is just history. It's all in the past, and we need to look forward. If you want to talk about history, Britain and Germany were on the same page during World War II, but now, there are at least 6 Premier League clubs sponsored by Volkswagen and BMW. ”
"I was sent to Europe by my uncle to learn to play football when I was thirteen years old. I didn't go to full-time middle school or high school, so I didn't know much about history. To put it in a way that is not quite right, apart from being able to play football, I am close to a semi-literate person. But as far as I know, in 1970, former West German Chancellor Brandt knelt down in front of the monument to the Warsaw Jewish uprising and apologized to the Jews。。。。。 What about the Wa Kingdom? The prime minister of the Japanese country is still losing miserably every year, right? ”
Umegawa Kuko shrugged her shoulders and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Qu Bai continued: "There can be 10,000 reasons for not liking a country, and for myself, one reason is enough - my great-grandfather died under the bayonets of the Japanese people. No one apologized to his descendants, and neither did your Tianhuang apologize to the people of China. If I speak for the brand of the Japanese country, in my own opinion, I will get carried away after becoming famous, forget my own roots, and forget my roots! ”
Kuko Umegawa holds a bachelor's degree in business from Ukeyo Imperial University and an MBI from New York Business School. However, in the face of the nineteen-year-old young man in front of him, who had no higher education, he couldn't find any words to refute him.
Meichuan Kuzi has been holding back a sentence for a long time: "In your Huaguo words, Qu, you are an angry youth." ”
Qu Bai smiled at Umegawa Kuzi: "I take the word "angry youth" as Mr. Umegawa pants, your praise for me. By the way, do you know who my idol is? ”
Umegawa Kuko said: "According to the Sun, your idol is the old lieutenant Liu Yun. ”
Qu Bai nodded: "That's right, my Uncle Liu received your endorsement contract offer from Toyota more than a year ago. However, he refused. What he won't do, I won't do. ”
Umegawa Kuko knew that he couldn't persuade the stubborn young man in front of him, just as he couldn't persuade the old lieutenant Liu Yun more than a year ago.
Umegawa Kuko got up and bowed to Qu Bai: "Okay Qu." As an ordinary Japanese person, I cannot represent the Japanese country. On my own behalf, I regret what happened to your great-grandfather. ”
Qu Bai also stood up: "Well, Mr. Umegawa Kuko." Remember, Wa Guo always owes Hua Guo an apology. Good bye. ”
