Chapter Fifty-Six: Strange
Although Hong Tao is waiting for this kind of opportunity, he doesn't think that now is the right opportunity, because even if he is a small character who has just emerged in Beijing, he is not even a P in the national fishing circle, and he does not have the conditions to endorse such a big brand, so he feels that Mr. Zhou's proposal is a bit problematic.
"It's not that you will endorse it right away, we can wait until you finish the semi-finals to talk about it, then you will not be unknown, and being able to enter the final of the national fishing championship is very convincing in itself." Mr. Zhou continued to heat up.
"Of course it's good, but it's a lot of pressure, and if you don't play well, it's not a disappointment to your expectations." Hong Tao continued to do Tai Chi.
"Ha Luha, I believe in my own vision, then we will wait until the rematch is over and then talk in detail, come, do this cup, that's it." Mr. Zhou didn't seem to care about Hong Tao's attitude.
After clinking glasses, the two sides did not continue to talk about any endorsement issues, but began to chat, from fishing to fishing tackle, from sports to culture, from men to women, where to say, plus Wang Yun and Zhou Xiaoli, the two public relations experts, mediated the atmosphere on the side, and the meal was eaten for 2 hours, and both the guests and hosts were happy and ended successfully.
After the meal, Hong Tao politely rejected Mr. Zhou's proposal to take a sauna together, and Wang Jian took the first step to say goodbye and left, and Mr. Zhou and the three people also deliberately sent the two to the parking lot, watched them drive away, and then turned around and walked towards a small courtyard.
"Brother Zhou, this kid is very steady, he doesn't leak a drop in his speech, and he's not so aggressive." Wang Yun said as she walked.
"Well, it's also a good person, it doesn't matter, let's hold him first, and we'll talk about it later, anyway, there's no harm in having him, you didn't play it today." Mr. Zhou changed his happy expression just now, and was slightly dissatisfied with Wang Yun.
"I'm really wronged, that kid doesn't give him a chance at all, he can't find a place to speak, and I don't have a good impression of his eyes when he looks at me, and he looks very vigilant, so I don't dare to go too far, for fear of shocking him." As soon as Wang Yun heard that he was criticized, he hurriedly hugged Mr. Zhou's arm and explained to himself.
"Manager Wang is right, I also feel this way, he looks at me as if he is looking at the aunt on the street, which makes people feel so uncomfortable. Old Zhou, don't underestimate this person, he is not as smiling as he seems to be. Zhou Xiaoli's expression now is not as deferential as just now, and talking to Mr. Zhou is not at all like the tone between the secretary and the boss.
"Is it so serious? Xiaoli's feeling has always been very accurate, it seems that I can't be careless yet, if it weren't for the tight pressure on the side of Little Japan, I would have to spend this effort? Just rush this brand, isn't the champion angler a big handful? Mr. Zhou obviously attached more importance to the secretary's opinion, and his face became even more ugly.
"Don't worry, doesn't he still have a rematch, and when the rematch comes, we'll also take a look to see if his bait is as divine as the legend, and then it's not too late to decide, maybe we're too cautious." Secretary Zhou's voice changed, and the emotions of the three people were adjusted back.
"Hong Tao, what do you think, why didn't you agree to such a good opportunity just now, don't you just want to find a big manufacturer to sponsor us and complete your plan? Dawa must find a brand that is big enough. On the Badaling Expressway, Wang Jian asked Hong Tao who was sitting in the co-pilot seat while driving, and he wanted to remind Hong Tao many times when he was eating just now, but it was not good to make any small moves in front of outsiders, so he endured it until now.
"Lao Wang, you are also the master of trading, it is not a business to catch up, you think, we just won a few small competitions, and we have never even been to Beijing, why did he ask me to be an endorsement? Aren't you afraid I'll smash their brand? Little Japan is better than a monkey, can do such a stupid thing? I don't think the surname Zhou told the truth, at least he didn't tell the truth, it doesn't make a difference if I promise or not, he said so much, in the end he didn't say anything, and he had to wait until the rematch was over, this is a blank check, why should I promise him? Hong Tao said all the questions in his heart one by one.
"Let you say that, it's not profitable, it's not early, he and we haven't seen each other before, didn't he say it, this is the first time he's come to Beijing, is it that your name has already shocked the Northeast? It's a little wrong, you're smarter than my brother and me, it doesn't make a difference where I buy and sell a dog, don't mention this. Wang Jian also felt that what Hong Tao said was reasonable.
"So, let's just think about it as if we know a manufacturer, think about it more, or follow our plan, change what you want, and win the rematch first. By the way, you are powerful today, if I hadn't decisively changed tactics in the second game, this first would have been yours, Lao Wang is amazing. Hong Tao pondered for a long time and didn't figure out the result, but fortunately he didn't ponder, anyway, he was single, except for the fish scales, there was nothing, and he was not afraid of others pondering himself.
"That's ...... You just rely on your bait to be better than me, you must have hidden it, right, did you give me water? As soon as Wang Jian heard that he praised his high fishing skills, he immediately raised his head, seven were not convinced, and eight were not angry.
"You can't pull to complain about the thatched house, our bait is in a bag, or you opened the bait, you can't complain about others, blame you for not knowing how to be flexible, the fish are up, you are still blindly fishing for the bottom, you deserve it." Hong Tao really didn't play tricks, even his bait was in a bag, there was no difference.
"Cut, who knows what you secretly added later, you can't do it yet." Wang Jian didn't let go.
"Bah, I'm still skilled, I'm running away from the fish, and I'm a ball." Hong Tao was not stingy, and sprinkled salt on Wang Jian's wound.
The two of them talked and laughed all the way south.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is July, and Beijing has also entered the hottest time of the year, commonly known as dog days. The absolute temperature of this kind of weather may not be too high, about 37 degrees, but the air pressure is too low to make people feel very stuffy, at this time, if the next heavy rain is better, if there is a light rain or the rain is not through, then the day can be sad, the whole person is like staying in a steamer, even if you sit there and do not move, your body will feel slimy.
"This is heaven-shattering, Gao Ming hurry up and bring me a bottle of chilled Arctic Ocean." Yang Ke was wearing a shorts vest, still as hot as a toad, and shouted when he pushed open the door of the colorful scale fishing tackle shop.
"Yo, Brother Yang is back from a business trip." Hong Tao was behind the counter fiddling with the sea rods he won in the last competition, and when he saw Yang Ke, he quickly put down the hook and line in his hand.
"I came back yesterday, I heard about it, you and Wang Jian swept the field, ha Yang Ke took the soda handed by Gao Ming and drank half a bottle in one go.
"Ahem, if he doesn't mess with us, we won't mess with him, rely on his ability." Hong Tao lowered the temperature of the air conditioner by a few degrees.
"It's still comfortable for you here, I don't even have an air conditioner in my office, and I have to hide in the car to blow the air conditioner." Yang Ke deliberately walked to the air conditioner and blew at the air outlet.
"Where are you going to play with the sea rod? The pole is good, Dawa, how much is this pole? Yang Ke suddenly saw the half-baked sea rod on the counter.
"As for the prize of the last competition, it is said to be a new product, but it has not been released yet." Hong Tao walked into the counter and took out the other 3 unopened sea rods and handed them to Yang Ke.
"It's pretty good, but this color is too dazzling, red...... Hey, don't you say it, the workmanship of Little Japan is fine, and there are threads where the joints are drawn, where are you going to open the light? Yang Ke took the pole, took one out of the box, pulled it out one by one, and shook the end of the pole.
"The weather is too hot, and playing with the hand pole is too sinful, so I am planning to find a reservoir to stay for a few days to slow down." Hong Tao's favorite thing is to play with sea rods.
"That's right, this day will play a little sooner or later, go to the reservoir, I'm going on annual leave soon, do you want to go anywhere, count me in, I can throw the sea rod twice." When Yang Ke heard Hong Tao's proposal, he immediately seconded it.
