At 10 a.m. GMT on August 16, Amy changed into civilian clothes and drove a Range Rover to the hotel to pick up Duke.

It seems that Amy also eats in the UK, and Duke didn't ask much, he knows that Amy's registered place is the UK, which is a British company.

Amy drove Duke to Caroline Avenue in Newham, east London, and a street ahead to Upton Park, the home of West Ham United.

Amy parked on the side of the street, pointed to a door on the street and said, "Colonel Miravo's Club, London is the most famous triathlon club in the UK, you can buy all the triathlon equipment you want here, they also accept private order, as long as you have enough pounds, you can take the best equipment." Is your 300,000 soft girl coins enough to spend? If it's not enough, I can lend you some pounds and deduct it from the contract. ”

Duke waved his hand: "No, thank you for your kindness." I have enough money, and the prize money for the national championship in April has been sent to me by our provincial bureau. There must have been prize money at the World Championships, but it wasn't so fast. ”

“OK。” Amy nodded, then smiled, "Duke, are you the poorest world champion I've ever seen, or a world champion in 14 events." But it doesn't matter, you'll be rich soon, I heard that Nickelodeon (a sporting goods giant), Adi (also a giant), and SPEEDO have found a swimming center and want to endorse you. Their endorsement fee is much higher than mine, and even if they can only take a third, it's not a small amount. ”

Du Ke was a little puzzled: "Huh? Mr. Ai, why are you so well-informed? I didn't even know that Nick, Adi, and SPEEDO had found a swimming center, how did you know? ”

Amy: "So you need a multi-functional team that integrates information collection, data analysis, business negotiations, development and maintenance of various channels at home and abroad, personal image operation, and even personal brand development. You can create your own brand, for example, the Duke brand, you can do sporting goods, sports-themed bar chains, open swimming schools and other expansion business. ”

"Duke brand swimming cap, Duke official swimming trunks and goggles, Duke theme bar, Duke swimming training center, diversified operation, everywhere flowers, your personal international image, international popularity is the biggest premium of your Duke brand. Advocating for yourself is definitely more earning than speaking for others, and you don't have to pay a penny more to others in addition to paying normal national and local taxes. ”

"If you want to do this one day, please contact me as soon as possible, because I have a lot of experience and we can work together in depth. Of course, the premise is that you have to have start-up capital, so go and take a few big advertising orders to complete the original accumulation. ”

Duke was noncommittal, but deep down he felt that what Amy said seemed to have some sense. Yes, it is better to endorse whoever you want, than to endorse yourself. Do your own business, earn as much as you want, and don't have to hand over more than half of your income. Of course, there are risks associated with going it alone, and who can guarantee that they will make money by doing business? There are many people who have lost so much that they jump off the building. But then again, what is there in this world that is not risky?

Amy stopped her way, she put in gear, unbuckled her seatbelt, and said, "I'm going to Liverpool to talk about business later, fly from Liverpool to Munich in the evening, and maybe go back to England next week." This car is left to you, you can drive to Sheffield by yourself after buying the equipment for triathlon, good luck. After saying that, he put the sensor car key on the center console, and then got out of the car, took a taxi and left.

Duke turned off the engine, put away his car keys, and got out of the car, heading for the most famous triathlon club in England.

The club has more than 150 members, half of whom are triathlon professionals. In China, there are less than 70 or 80 professional triathletes in the whole of South China.

Moreover, the strength of the European and American triathlon players is much stronger than that of the Chinese athletes, and the Colonel Miravo club will send 10 professional athletes to participate in the domestic invitational tournament in China, and they are all expected to win the top 10.

In triathlon, a club in the UK can crush almost all of China's professional athletes.

After Duke entered the club, he was received by a British front desk girl, the red-haired British MM had very white skin and was quite beautiful, but like most British girls, her face was a little freckled, MM spoke an authentic London accent and asked Duke Ke: "Sir, what can I do for you?" Do you want to become a member or buy gear? ”

Duke looked at MM's badge and said, "Hello, Miss Johnson, I want to buy a full triathlon outfit." ”

Miss Johnson was amused, hey, local tyrants, Asian tyrants really live up to their reputation, she took Duke very enthusiastically and walked inside, and said as she walked: "What country is Mr. from?" What do you call it? I'm going to take you to our product department, where you'll find the most professional triathlon sales consultants in the UK and even Europe to introduce you to our products. ”

Du Ke: "Chinese, surnamed Ke." ”

"Chinese?" Miss Johnson looked at Duke, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that something was wrong: "Mr. Ke, it looks familiar, I seem to have seen you somewhere!" What are you doing with that...... The Chinese duke is a bit like! Yes, the same duke who swam! It can't really be you, right? ”

Du Ke shook his head: "I'm not a duke, his surname is Duke, his name is Duke, and my surname is Ke." We Chinese are all like this, and it is normal for you to be confused. Just as we Chinese often mistake Westerners, but, Miss Johnson, your beauty is unique, and I will never confuse you with other English girls. "After all, I stayed in Spain for a month, and I used English to communicate with foreigners.

"Giggles, thank you." Miss Johnson laughed coquettishly, in the UK, it is very common for women to be praised by men for their beauty, which is the polite behavior of gentlemen, so Miss Johnson also graciously accepted Duke's praise.

"Chinese gentleman, you can call me Scarlett, that's my name." Miss Johnson smiled provocatively at Duke, "Are you free at night?" Why don't we go for a drink together? ”

"Scarlett Johansson?" Duke couldn't help but glance at Miss Johnson more, not to mention, this MM is not blonde, but his facial features are really a bit like the Scarlett Johansson in the United States.

"Well, yes, it's the same name as the female star in the United States, you can't blame me, I didn't take this name, it was my mother. Anyway, do you have time at night? You haven't answered me yet. In the UK, it is rude to refuse a lady. ”

"I'll go to Sheffield as soon as I'm done buying my gear, and when I'm back in London, I'll be sure to treat the beautiful, welcoming, one-of-a-kind Miss Scarlett for a drink and not going home."

"Okay, that's it!"

……

One of the triathlons is swimming, so it's not uncommon for triathlon players to pay attention to professional swimming, and Miss Johnson has seen a few World Swimming Championships that have just ended, and she almost recognized Duke.

However, after Duke skillfully flirted with the girl, Miss Johnson also forgot what the Chinese duke was, after all, the Chinese duke was too far away from her, and this handsome Chinese guy was close at hand.

This also shows that the name of the Chinese duke has spread all over Europe.

"Amy is not wrong, if Duke can become a brand, it will also have international popularity." Duke said secretly, and more and more agreed with Amy's point of view.

By this time, Miss Johnson had already brought Duke to the product department, and she said to a fat man with a big nose: "Mark, this Chinese guest wants to buy a full set of triathlon equipment, you can receive it." ”

Miss Johnson also stuffed a business card of her own into Duke's jacket pocket and whispered to Duke: "When you come back from Sheffield, remember to call me, my contact information is on the card." Wait for your call, email will do. ”

The big fat man Mark took over the Chinese guests, and he also found that Duke Du looked a bit like the Chinese duke, but the men were not as interested in handsome guys as women were in handsome guys. After a brief exchange of words with Duke Mark, he also forgot what the Chinese duke was, after all, a big deal was in front of him, and the pound was definitely more attractive to him than the duke, and for every piece of equipment sold, the sales consultant Mark would have a commission.

"Does Mr. Ke have any favorite brands and product types? Need me an introduction to our products? Mark asked Duke.

Doucle: "Let's start with your bikes. ”

Pointing to a large group of bikes, Mark said: "This is Cannodale's latest road race car, which costs £599 and is more suitable for triathlon beginners. ”

Duke shook his head and said, "Don't make a big group of cars, let's introduce the other cars." ”

Mark was a little surprised, and pointed to a more awesome car and said: "This is a lightning TT car, it costs 1999 pounds, and there is no problem riding this beast to participate in the triathlon and the Tour de France." ”

The big group is an ordinary road race car, and the TT car (Time-Trial) is a time trial race car, which has a higher force grid, and the frame geometry, fork shape, handlebar angle, and wheel diameter will be modified to minimize wind resistance.

Still not satisfied, Duke looked around, scanned all the racing products in the product department, and finally, he found a cool red race car in the corner.

The car's shape is even more aggressive, with an aggressive geometry of the frame, extended resting handlebars that extend out like reindeer horns, and widened wheels that look very domineering, this is no longer a bike, it is simply a mythical beast.

It's a triathlon that looks like a crane.

It is allowed to participate in triathlon competitions in large groups, TT cars, and triathlon bikes, but because they are not restricted by the UCI (International Cycling Union), triathlon bikes are often modified by riders to be more sci-fi and surreal.

The shape of the large group car and the TT car is probably like this:

○=○-

The shape of the triathlon car is generally like this:

○＞○=

Therefore, the triathlon looks more hoisting, and after a large area of modification, the effect of reducing wind resistance is more obvious.

Of course, professional-grade triathlon cars are also more expensive.

Duke fell in love with this cool red triathlon beast at a glance, he pointed to the red triathlon and asked Mark, "How much does this triathlon cost?" Can I test ride a few laps? ”

Mark was even more surprised: "This is a Cervelo limited edition triathlon, modified by our club mechanics, equipped with a 50 carbon knife and tube tires, it can be described as the best of triathlon cars, it will not be allowed to participate in any other bicycle races except triathlon races." It's priced at £9,999, are you really sure you need it? ”

Douc nodded: "Yes, I'm sure. ”

Mark asked again, "So what do you need it for?" ”

Duke: "Of course, it's a competition!" ”

As a responsible sales consultant, Mark is patient: "Ordinary triathlon races, buying this kind of car is wasteful, and only international competitions are suitable for using this strategic weapon." You're going to an international competition? ”

Duke: "Yes, on August 25th, Sheffield. Mr. Mark, can you hurry? I'm in a hurry, and I have to buy a helmet, a triathlon suit, or something. "This British fat man is so grinding, he doesn't make any money?

"What? Oh, my God! Did I hear me right? Mark almost vomited a mouthful of blood, he couldn't believe it, thinking that Duke was teasing him: "Participate in Sheffield on August 25, why did you buy a car today?" It's August 16th! ”

Duke: "Can't you? I don't have time for fitting, and you're all fitting, aren't you? That's all there is to the Cervelo red beauties, come, give me a test ride for a few laps, do I need to pay for it first? ”

"......" Mark was speechless, this Chinese tyrant, Nima is rich and not so willful!

Amy said that Duke is poor, but Duke has hundreds of thousands of soft girl coins, and it is basically enough to pretend to be forced here...... (To be continued.) )
