Now that the most important matter has been resolved, everyone can rest assured and savor the delicious Quanjude roast duck.

As expected, a group of nearly 10 people ate nearly 30 roast ducks alone, which is not counting a large table of hard dishes, which also gave the waiters on the side a glimpse of what it means to be truly edible.

After a full meal, the group returned to the Olympic Village again, whether it was the members of Mengba, Li Yao and Da Yao, they had already finished their current journey, and now they only need to wait for the start of the new NBA season.

Wade came to ask Li Yao before leaving if he wanted to return to Miami with him, Li Yao thought, anyway, he has nothing to do at the moment, just follow Wade and them back to the United States, although he has been playing with the Chinese men's national basketball team this summer, but really speaking, his training volume is very low, he needs to do a serious systematic training before the start of the NBA, in order to increase his chips at the beginning of the new season.

But when Li Yao was about to reply to Wade, Bill. A phone call from Duffy came, and he said that Li Ning himself wanted to discuss the endorsement of sneakers with Li Yao.

Since the plan could not catch up with the change, Li Yao had no choice but to decline the proposal to return to the United States together to Wade, and waited for a meeting with Li Ning, the prince of gymnastics.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Yao rode in Bill. Duffy arranged a car to a tea house in Sanlitun, Beijing, where he met the long-known prince of gymnastics.

"Hello Li Ning seniors. I've heard of the name for a long time, and it's really a blessing to see it today. "As soon as I saw Li Yao, I couldn't help but exclaim, who is Li Ning?" The rings are overhung and the front swing is connected to the right-angle support", "the rings are supported to be turned over and the front is overhung to become a support", "the pommel horse is turning 90 degrees through a single ring and falling down into a riding brace", "the parallel bars big loop turns 180 degrees into a handstand", which were named "Li Ning Hanging Rings", "Li Ning Hanging Rings", "Pommel Li Ning Cross" and "Parallel Bars Li Ning Big Loop". The founder of these well-known gymnastic moves.

With a total of 14 world championships and 106 gold medals in domestic and international gymnastics competitions in his career, he is regarded by many gymnastics insiders as the most versatile male gymnast.

Even if he led the Chinese men's basketball team to achieve an unprecedented breakthrough, Li Ning won the men's free gymnastics, pommel horse and rings in the men's gymnastics individual competition at the 23rd Los Angeles Olympic Games in 1984, winning three golds, two silvers and one bronze in one fell swoop, close to 1/5 of the total medals of the Chinese delegation, becoming the athlete with the most medals in the Olympic Games.

In the face of such a big guy, Li Yao gave the most direct respect, that is, hugging his thighs.

"Hehe, I didn't expect our mad captain to have such a side, it's really beyond my expectations." Li Ning didn't expect that the first meeting with Li Yao would be so interesting, and it was a joy all of a sudden.

"Senior Li Ning, in fact, I have a question I want to ask seniors." After saying hello, Li Yao sat on the chair, first quietly tasted the tea that Li Ning had poured for himself, and then looked up and said.

"You're wondering why we didn't negotiate to cancel the contract in the first place." Li Ning also took a leisurely sip of tea before speaking.

"I can't hide anything from you, the boy is very curious about it." Li Yao said seriously. You must know that at that time, his reputation in China was notorious, and an announcement from the Basketball Association directly pushed himself to the forefront, you must know that even Nike and Adidas chose to retreat at that time, and Li Ning, who was in China, did not choose to retreat, which is a point that still makes Li Yao puzzled.

"Actually, I have also heard about what the Basketball Association has done, when they unilaterally issued an announcement, our work team was like I applied whether I should suspend the negotiations with you, after all, the domestic voice at that time was not optimistic, but I didn't believe much in the unilateral announcement of the Basketball Association, because I once communicated with the editor-in-chief of the "Basketball Herald" about your personality, he didn't say much, just handed me an interview about you, and read the report at that time. I was even more sure that things must be wrong, and I called Da Yao again, and as a result, you should know why I chose to continue negotiating with you. Li Ning did not hesitate at all, and said with a serious face.

Li Yao was moved in his heart, I have to say that Li Ning's move was really good, and he didn't hypocritically say that because I believe you and so on, he just relayed everything he did to Li Yao, but this is enough.

"It turned out that the seniors learned the gossip from Da Yao in advance, you must know that Brother Yao had been hiding from me at that time, which made me tremble." Li Yao was also in a good mood at this time, and joked with Li Ning.

"So, Li Yao, what do you think of our Li Ning brand?" Li Ning felt that the greetings were almost over, and directly moved to the main topic.

"With all due respect, Li Ning should not mention the situation abroad, even in China, the situation in China is not optimistic, there are tigers like Adidas and Nike, and there are chasers like Anta and Xtep in the back, and the brand Li Ning is at a very embarrassing point at this time." Li Yao thought for a while before slowly speaking.

"Unexpectedly, Li Yao, you are not only talented in basketball, but also have such an accurate vision in business, which is really eye-opening for me." Li Ning was not angry at all when he heard Li Yao's obviously somewhat derogatory words about his own brand, because Li Yao hit the key to the situation of Li Ning's brand in one sentence.

"The senior said it was funny." Li Yao was also a little embarrassed, after all, he just wanted to increase his bargaining chips, but Li Ning defused his offensive with a simple sentence.

"So, that's one of the reasons why we insist on signing you, your conditions are very good, the first time you won the NCAA championship as a Chinese and won the top 4 MOP, and this year's NBA star show, these are the reasons why we want to chase you, but when you asked your agent to inform us that everything was going to wait until the Olympics were over and negotiating, I had a hunch that we would have a big hemorrhage if we wanted to sign you, so I had to come by myself, I didn't expect you kid to lead the team to win the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics, and now I don't think it's bleeding, it's just going to eat people. Li Ning also started a joke with Li Yao, of course, this is also turning the passive into the active and pushing the ball to Li Yao.

"It's up to you whether you eat people or not, in the final analysis, I'm just a part-time worker." Li Yao didn't take this pass, although he admired Li Ning's style, but it was impossible for him to get along with his money.

"Who says you can only be a part-time worker?" Li Ning said faintly, this time he has made a lot of money, and he must take down Li Yao, a potential star.

"Eh, senior, I'm afraid I'll misunderstand what you said." Li Yao hurriedly took a sip of tea to hide the shock in his heart. He was frightened by Li Ning's words, and he preferred to believe that he had misheard.

"You didn't get it right." Li Ning suddenly smiled, it seems that Li Yao is far from being as old as he imagined.

"Well, this joke isn't funny at all." Li Yao still couldn't believe Li Ning's words.

"Okay, Li Yao, we don't need to talk nonsense here, I'm willing to add 5% of the sneaker share to the original contract." After Li Ning pondered for a while, he didn't plan to continue to entangle with Li Yao here, and directly stated his bottom line.

Li Yao was stunned for a moment, and then forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, and translated Li Ning's words to Bill without moving. Duffy.

Results Bill. Duffy's reaction was not as good as Li Yao's, and the undisguised expression of surprise even made Li Yao wonder if he had chosen the wrong agent.

"Li Yao, I think it is necessary for us to agree to this contract, you must know that it is 5% of the sneaker share, you must know that many NBA superstars do not have this kind of treatment, although Li Ning's brand awareness is much worse than Nike and Adidas, but it can't stand him as your Chinese brand, plus you have the existence of a new hope for Chinese basketball now, and you have more advantages than Da Yao in terms of sneakers, which is a very considerable income." Bill. Duffy's careful calculation in his heart immediately whispered in Li Yao's ear.

Of course, Li Yao also knows Bill. Where is the point where Duffy says that he has more advantages than Da Yao, there is a saying that Li Yao has heard for a long time, called "the center does not sell shoes". Therefore, the best sales of sneakers are generally outside players, and coupled with Li Yao's popularity in China now and his age, the sales of sneakers will definitely not be low, so if you calculate it, 5% is a very considerable income.

"It's a pleasure to work with." Li Yao also thought about it in his heart for a long time, and finally a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he stood up and stretched out his right hand to Li Ning.

"It's a pleasure to work with." Li Ning also immediately shook Li Yao's hand tightly.

"By the way, now that we have reached a cooperation, then we will immediately start to customize exclusive sneakers for you, I hope that at the beginning of the new NBA season, you can wear our exclusive sneakers to fight, what is your position on the sneakers, give us a general idea, let us make the work as soon as possible for your reference." When Li Ning was leaving, he suddenly remembered an important thing and hurriedly said to Li Yao.

"Senior, have you forgotten what you called me when we met?" Li Yao asked Li Ning with a smile on his face.

"Mad Captain? Haha, you kid really has a personality, I'm going to go back and arrange for my people to start customizing your exclusive sneakers. Li Ning was stunned for a moment before he realized what he had called Li Yao when he met, and immediately laughed.

At this point, Li Yao's sneaker contract has also been signed, and what awaits him next will be his NBA journey.
