"It's a must, business is business, friendship is friendship, two things mixed together, the result will be even more miserable, that's why I don't want to be your agent, I can't ignore your request, Paul can. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 This is the only way to get the most out of you, and since you're already planning to take on these business contracts, why not maximize the benefits? Erin gave such an answer to Hong Tao's worries, she was not worried that Hong Tao would be exploited by Paul, although she could not be Hong Tao's agent, but she could be a legal adviser, and she would look at every contract.

Compared with these commercial contracts, Hong Tao found that the prize money of the competition does not seem to be so important, according to the commercial contracts that Paul listed for him that he is more optimistic about, Hong Tao can get nearly 2 million sponsorship fees in the next 2 years, of which there are more than 1 million for various endorsement fees alone, and there are many equipment, air tickets, and accommodation, which are provided for free.

These are actually not the most tempting, Paul has an even more tempting plan in his hand, the largest consumer goods company group in the United States has a subsidiary called Purefishing, which specializes in the production of various fishing-related products, not only in North America, but also has a lot of influence in the world. The company was interested in reaching out to Hong Tao to see how they could work together to produce the kind of flying lure that Hong Tao had invented.

"Hey... I see the money in my hand, but I can't take it! In the end, Hong Tao rejected the company's offer.

It's not that he doesn't want to earn this money, the other party's conditions are very tempting, and he also promised to name this bait after Hong Tao. He couldn't agree, if it was produced in a small workshop, Hong Tao could still find a way to do tricks and feet on the sponge strip of the bait, just like the special effect bait he made, but in this kind of large factory, he couldn't control the bait produced by the assembly line. Rather than making it ineffective and smashing your own brand, it's better not to do it, and let this secret stay with you. Earn some bonuses every year and draw some sponsors. It's enough for herself and Erin.

"I really don't understand what you think! If you are afraid of exposing your secrets, you can continue to keep your secrets on the flying bait, the other party just wants to borrow your fame, they don't ask this bait to be any different from other baits, it's just a product, and you didn't lie, why don't you agree? Although Paul did not interfere with Hong Tao's decision during the negotiation, after the negotiation was over, he dragged Hong Tao and did not let him go, and insisted on asking him why he did not agree to cooperate with Purefishing.

"I work with them. Are you very willing? Also happy? Instead of answering Paul's question, Hong Tao asked him instead.

"Well, of course, a fool can see that it's good for you, and you hardly have to pay anything. You can get a good income, and you will be famous, and your name will spread all over North America and even Europe with this bait, don't you think that's good? Without even thinking about it, Paul gave his answer, which he had told Hong Tao more than once. It doesn't matter if you say it again.

"If you're happy, I'll not do it! Who asked you not to contract the reservoir investment for me in the first place, causing me to fail in my business and losing money as a result! This incident should be my revenge, and now that we are even, you make me uncomfortable once. I'm going to make you uncomfortable for once, fair, right? Hong Tao really couldn't think of how to answer Paul's question, and he was his own agent, so he couldn't help but answer, so he could only talk to more emotional questions. Then Paul had no place to reason.

"What is the reason for this? You're crazy! What does it matter if I'm happy or not? Most of that money is yours, so you don't want even your own so that I can't earn commissions? "Paul really made Hong Tao confused, I'm afraid he has never seen such a bastard.

"Hey, hey, hey... It's pretty much the same as you said... But only this time, you can find another way to make money for me, and I won't refuse next time. Hong Tao continued to irritate Paul.

"You... You're a jerk!! I refuse to be your agent anymore! I'm going to break my contract with you! You wait to receive my lawyer's letter! Lunatic! Lunatic! In the end, Paul couldn't hold back, and even cursed out, and got into his car angrily, and didn't forget to start it while sticking out his head and scolding again.

Hong Tao is not afraid of what lawyer letter he sends, let alone terminating the contract, people like Paul, there are not many friends, and he also invited Hong Tao and his wife to go to him to sail and fish off the coast of Miami on the weekend. And Hong Tao could only lie to him for a while, and when he figured it out, he knew that Hong Tao was deliberately making him angry, so as to cover up the real reason.

At the end of the month, the second sub-race, Hong Tao won the championship without any accident, this time the organizing committee and sponsors made a hard rule for Hong Tao, that is, the 4 days of competition must be compared, and the negative competition can not be passed, so Hong Tao fished for 4 days. With the help of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Hong Tao once again refreshed the record that he had just held for less than a month, and the total weight in the end had more than doubled the second place.

The result of this competition made Hong Tao's sponsors elated, they felt that the money was well spent, and now Hong Tao's appearance has frequently appeared in the TV broadcast, two consecutive races, Hong Tao has received special care from the TV station, and arranged a special broadcast boat to follow, from beginning to end, not leaving. In this way, the clothes that Hong Tao wears, wears on his head, holds in his hands, and uses when fishing, shoes and hats, eyes, fishing gear, including lunch, will appear on the camera, and more than once.

Through the contracts of these sponsors, Hong Tao understood one thing, and when he watched football games before, he always couldn't understand those

Why do players have to run dozens of meters of distance after scoring a goal, run in front of the camera and pose for poss, they are already as tired as their grandson, and they have this little strength to save for a while and then fight for it?

In fact, this kind of action is not consciously voluntary by athletes, but stipulated in the sponsorship advertising contract, even in what way and how it appears on TV every year, how many times it appears, the length of time and time period of each appearance are clearly defined, and it is divided into many grades, you will get the money of that grade when you complete that grade, and there are additional rewards for overcompletion, and those athletes are not excited because of the goal. While running, they pondered in their hearts: If there is another 20 meters and no one pulls me, 20,000 yuan will be in hand!

Hong Tao is like this now, when he goes fishing, he will deliberately put the trademark of the merchant who gives more money in front of the camera, and give the less money a side face. Because his fishing suit was almost covered in logos, his posture was sometimes strange, so much so that Sam asked him if his waist was injured when he came back, and why he was standing crooked.

Hong Tao didn't tell his father-in-law that he was because the advertisements printed on his left leg, left shoulder, and left chest were more valuable, and he could get a high bonus after letting them leak his face a few more times, but he just said that he was tired of fishing with his right arm, so he used this posture to rest and rest. It's not just the standing position, Hong Tao also has to be after the game for these advertising contracts. Then stay for a few hours in a wet and fishy fishing suit and life jacket, and then go on stage to receive the award, which is also clearly stipulated in the contract of the sponsor, when you go to the podium, you must wear the clothes and shoes of that family, and wear hats, watches, and glasses. Take that house's drink。。。。。。

Hong Tao even wondered if Paul was deliberately taking revenge on himself? His fishing suit was almost a graffiti wall, and he was going to go back and ask Paul how much he would sell if he had a logo on his face, one on the left and one on his face, and another on his head.

Although when participating. Hong Tao is like a living billboard, he has lost a lot of freedom, but without the ties of his career, he feels that he is slowly returning to the original track of life. When he's not competing and not having to shoot for advertisers, he's taking Erin and Sam around the United States. Everywhere you go, there are familiar fishing friends to receive, the money should be spent or spent, but the quality of eating, drinking and playing is obviously different, after all, accompanied by the landlord, it is much more convenient.

Sometimes the United States gets bored. I went to Canada to find old Gaier and Pavey, a few old men plus Hong Tao, a middle-aged man, went to Pavey's house to smoke a few puffs of marijuana, and then ran to a striptease nightclub to have a good time, or called Harrison's humanoid arsenal and found a dead man's shooting range to have a good time. Buy a few tickets at night, go to the stadium and shout to your heart's content, if you want to scold a few words, no one will stop you, anyway, Hong Tao is no fan, who is caught and scolded, the fans are not happy to catch up with the scene, and everyone scolds together.

In October, Erin had a reaction, she was pregnant, and at the end of the year, Hong Tao could already see 2 small meatballs wriggling in Erin's stomach from the B ultrasound, she inherited her family's good tradition, and was pregnant with twins, also identical, and a pair of girls.

Hong Tao out of habit, originally wanted Erin to return to Sam to have a baby, but Erin didn't listen to Hong Tao, she said that she didn't need to rest until 8 months later, and now it's not good for the child to rest more, and she still works in the office in New York, and she often takes a plane to China.

At the end of the following summer, Hong Tao gave up one of the rounds of FLW, and Erin gave birth to twin girls. When Hong Tao saw his daughter outside the operating room, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, these two girls are like their mothers, they don't look like themselves, thank God.

When the child was full moon, Hong Tao followed the Chinese tradition, in Sam's small estate, made a full moon wine for the two children, sent invitations and invitation letters to everyone he knew, and attached a round-trip ticket to Buffalo by the way, if you can come, it doesn't matter if you can't come, he plans to take the child back to China, do it again, then Erin will also go back with him, and quit her job in a law firm in New York to concentrate on running the hunting company with Katie.

At the time of the full moon wine, everyone basically came, and Sam's restaurant couldn't sit down, so he could only put the rented table on the grass in front of the door. Drinking the liquor brought by Boss Liu and the fat boss, he soon entered the stage of drinking, and I don't know who first proposed it, to go to Africa to go on a collective safari together, and finally reached an agreement, so Hong Tao took advantage of the strength of the wine, and made a decision on the spot, and when his daughter turned one year old tomorrow, he carried them to Africa together and formed a king-size expedition, so that they could also feel the road their father had walked.

In October, Hong Tao returned to Beijing, he deliberately flipped through the calendar, then checked the weather forecast, and then chose a sunny day, ran to the Taolinkou Reservoir with his daughter on his back, and then returned to the place where he used to fish, in front of Erin, tied the crystal clear fish scales to a small iron pendant, and then threw it into the water.

"Why did you throw it away? Wouldn't it be nice to hang around your neck? Didn't you hang it all the time? Erin didn't understand Hong Tao's move, she always thought it was Hong Tao's talisman, and Hong Tao told her the same thing.

"It's not my thing, it's been protecting me for many years, let's let it leave me, I'm already very happy, these happiness didn't belong to me in the first place, be content." Hong Tao watched the fish scales sway and sink into the water, and then the light flashed, and he couldn't see it anymore.

"Can you still hack me? Don't bother it, you cut me back, I'll still live like this in the next life, how boring! Waiting until the scales disappeared, Hong Tao looked up

Looking at the sky, he reached out and stretched out the middle finger of his right hand and raised his hand.

At this time, the originally clear sky suddenly overcast, and a gray cloud obscured the sun, and the wind rose. Hong Tao stretched out his hand to hold the canopy pole that was blown crooked by the strong wind, and shouted in his heart: I x your mother! Can't the weather forecast be accurate once? It's not that it's sunny all day!
