Chapter 96: Mountain City Tianfu
"Just send it here, Blake, thank you so much for coming to see us off, it was very lively last night, and we were very happy!"
"It's my pleasure Lucy, don't you really consider going to ZQ, that place is good! We can also play together by the way! Griffin scratched his head at a loss, Chen Qingman and Jin Xuan'er were going to BJ to continue the next performance, so they were about to part.
"Haha, I feel like you understand China better than I do, Blake, it's okay, don't you want to come to BJ, we'll wait for you in BJ for a few more days."
"Really?! That's it! Remember to wait for me at BJ, let's contact on WeChat. ”
"No problem, we're going in, you can go back quickly, your plane is also fast."
Although it is a pity that Qingman was not able to be abducted to ZQ, it is a good thing to get the promise, anyway, it is only a few days, after cleaning up the mood, Griffin and his party stepped on the plane to the mountain city ZQ.
ZQ City is a municipality directly under the central government of China, which can be regarded as the leading big city in southwest China, although it is not as good as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, but in the latest city report, it is already a 1.5-tier city in China, basically a new first-tier city, and the local consumption capacity and market are also broad, which is one of the important reasons why Adidas China chose ZQ.
"Eh, I heard that ZQ has a lot of Chinese beauties, is it true?"
"And hot pot! I remember when I was in college, the Chinese students in our school were very fond of eating hot pot, and I heard that it came from here. ”
"Why is it called a mountain city, is the city built on a mountain?"
The foreigners who had adapted to the jet lag were chattering and discussing on the plane, so it was not lively, and Griffin could not pretend to know too much, nor did he have such a strong curiosity, so he took a nap in boredom.
More than 2 hours later, the plane stopped smoothly at ZQ Jiangbei International Airport.
The weather in July is already very hot in China, and ZQ, known as one of the four major furnaces, is not good at it, so a group of foreigners who have adapted to the mild weather in California are shouting to go back to the United States as soon as they get off the plane.
Compared with SH, the scale of the pick-up is much smaller, and only a few dozen people wearing Griffin's jerseys and sneakers are still very conspicuous in the crowd.
"Also, what's the situation, what's the situation, what's the matter, why are so many people looking at that foreigner?"
"I know, oh (I don't know) it's like a basketball star, you see, those cubs (those guys) are wearing jerseys."
The characteristic dialect made Griffin feel very interesting, and he also took out a selfie stick and took a big picture and uploaded it to his Sina Weibo, which Chen Qingman registered for Griffin last night.
Originally, Griffin didn't like these things very rarely, he already had several social media, and because he couldn't take care of them, some of them were taken care of by his own staff, and only one or two were posted by himself.
However, after hearing Jin Xuan'er say that Sina Weibo is a very important social media for them to promote themselves, and Chen Qingman also uses Weibo often, Griffin decisively moved Sina Weibo to his usual toolbar.
After nibbling on a sandwich at noon, Griffin attended the sneaker promotion meeting in the afternoon despite the scorching heat, and also played ZQ quizzes with the fans who came to the meeting, and the press conference was particularly lively and harmonious.
After signing the sneakers, it was close to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and Griffin and his entourage came to Guanyin Bridge, one of ZQ's business districts, to eat hot pot, and the prosperity of Guanyin Bridge greatly exceeded the expectations of foreigners.
"This Nima is too prosperous, most cities in the United States can't compare to it."
"It's more crowded, it's still less than New York and Los Angeles, but it's probably a little choking like Chicago."
Griffin walked on the street with a swagger like this, plus a few staff members who followed him, ordinary people knew that it was a star or something, not to mention that many boys recognized it at a glance as Blake Griffin, and they came forward to ask for a group photo and autograph.
"After SH played on the streets, NBA star Griffin appeared again in the mountain city ZQ to eat hot pot!"
"NBA No. 1 China Thongbräck Griffin Comes to ZQ and Chengdu, SC Fans Tremble!"
Griffin appeared in many news sections that night, although Griffin is always a small coffee from himself, but objectively speaking, his fame is still not small, especially in China, his love for China makes Chinese audiences very useful, and then last year, his name and the popular word "power" homonym, so that many people also know him.
ZQ logo gourmet hot pot is indeed worthy of its reputation, not only will Griffin eat sweaty, but a few foreigners accompanying him also feel very cool, but there are also people who don't like to eat, such as Sam, who never moved his chopsticks after taking a bite, and shook his head one after another when he saw those internal organs.
After eating, I drove to the Liberation Monument, walked around Ciqikou, and then looked at Hongya Cave, and when I returned to the hotel, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, ZQ's nightlife is still very rich, if there is no figure on this street in the United States, many places in China are as lively as the day.
The next day is Griffin's training camp, the content is the same as SH's eight or nine, teach some experience or something, and then play, but the scale of ZQ is a little smaller, and the atmosphere is slightly less than SH.
After the last day of his stay at ZQ, Griffin rushed to Chengdu, the estimated date of these two cities is only three to four days, so it is relatively tight, and the itinerary seems a bit rushed.
The content of Chengdu is similar to that of ZQ, hold a press conference, and then visit the local characteristic attractions to eat some special food, like what Chunxi Street, koi, Chengdu skewers, are very distinctive places and food, as two important cities in the southwest region, Griffin believes that the development potential is still very large.
Originally, the organizer also arranged for Griffin to go to Mount Emei to climb the mountain and worship the Buddha, but Griffin heard that the egg hurt when he heard about climbing the mountain, not only is it very high, but there are some wild forests on the road, Griffin doesn't like to climb the mountain before and now, so he refused, and attractions like Jiuzhaigou were not able to go because of the itinerary.
Some regrets in my heart are certain, but I am also lost, because I only stayed in Chengdu for less than 2 days, so it is equivalent to making time for BJ Station in disguise, and I have more time to get along with Chen Qingman.
Although they have only seen each other for a few days, the WeChat contact between the two has not stopped, as long as there is time, the two chat on WeChat, and the relationship is progressing rapidly, it seems that Chen Qingman is not averse to interacting with foreigners, which makes Griffin feel a lot more relieved.
"I'm coming to BJ this afternoon! Are you free, I invite you to eat BJ roast duck. ”
Chen Qingman, who had finished the performance here, returned backstage and couldn't help but laugh when he saw the message sent by Griffin on his mobile phone.
"Ouch, it's Griffin's news! Look at how reserved you were before, it's only been a few days, and it's been very cool to be chased. ”
"What nonsense are you! I'm laughing at this Griffin, a foreigner giving me a serious hair BJ roast duck, and I always feel like I'm laughing. ”
"What's so funny, it shows that people are full of sincerity! For you to work hard to get close to Chinese culture, be content! And I checked his income on the Internet, he is still a rookie, and his annual income is close to 2000W US dollars, not counting his contract with Adidas, he is completely rich and handsome! "Jin Xuan'er is simply an undercover agent planted by Griffin next to Chen Qingman.
"If you are poor, hurry up and change your clothes, and let's have a big dinner in the evening!"
"Hehe, that's great, I'm the least distressed when the Americans spend their money!"
(I suddenly found that I seemed to have overlooked the next time when social media really started to go viral, so don't worry about these details!) )
