Chapter 390: Warm Holiday

When Zhai Liying was about to prepare for the afternoon class, Zhou Yi said goodbye to his high school homeroom teacher, put on his cap again, and came out of the office. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When he came out, he bumped into a lot of students who were already playing in the hallway.

They looked curiously at the young man who came out of the homeroom teacher's office, but because Zhou Yi's disguise work was still in place, no one recognized him.

He looked back at the alumni who were a few years younger than him. Student life was great, but he didn't want to go back to school. Because careers are better......

Zhou Yi left his alma mater like this.

※※※

Zhou Yi found that no matter how homesick he was when he was in Dortmund, and no matter how good his parents were to him when he returned, any holiday that he had not seen for a long time and reunited would go through the following process in the end:

The first days of the holiday:

When Zhou Yi opened his eyes, he found that his parents had gone to work, and there was a note on the dining table, telling him that breakfast was in the pot and that he could eat it if he reheated it. Come back in the evening and bring a lot of dishes, and then ask Zhou Yi what he wants to eat, and his mother will cook it for him.

After the first days of the holiday:

Every day when his parents went to work, he would hear his mother's lion roar: "Still sleeping, get up soon! You are a professional player! What do you say when you sleep lazily every day? Don't you have to get up for morning exercise?!" So Zhou Yizhi struggled to get up from the bed, sleepy eyes to wash, and this time is often less than seven o'clock.

He will be urged by his mother to go out for morning exercises, and if he doesn't want to go, he will be pushed out of the door, and then the security door will slam shut behind him.

In the evening, if Zhou Yi proposed to his mother that he wanted to eat back to the pot meat, his mother would definitely glare: "What to eat? Is that something that a professional player can eat! Eat boiled chicken in white water!"

Zhou Yi was about to cry: "Mom, where did you know these things......

Zhou Jianliang raised his hand next to him: "I didn't tell your mother, she checked it on the Internet herself." ”

His arms couldn't twist his thighs, so Zhou Yi had to eat his "athlete's meal", but at the same time, he had to watch his father eat fragrant back to the pot meat, and what was even more annoying was that his father deliberately chewed very loudly in front of him, and kept exclaiming: "Wife, your skills have improved again! This time the pot meat is really delicious!"

Zhou Yi said angrily: "Dad, don't eat and talk about it!"

"Son, it's about exercising your willpower, and on the football field, willpower is very important. If you can't even stand the test of returning to the pot, how can you win the championship?" Zhou Jianliang said with righteousness.

"Dad, if you can wipe your mouth full of oil before you say this, I will believe you. Zhou Yi's face was indifferent.

"Huh. Zhou Jianliang smiled contemptuously, and then continued to chew.

Zhou Yi's protest was ineffective, and he could only chew the hard-to-swallow white-flavored chicken in humiliation, which was extremely bitter.

Where is this for vacation?

This is clearly a punishment!

Fortunately, there are not many days left on such days...... Hey, there really aren't a few days left on this holiday?

Although the holiday was very hard, but he was really leaving, Zhou Yi was reluctant.

Every separation is for goodbye, and every goodbye is said "goodbye", it's really a cycle......

Zhou Yi looked up at his parents, his eyes were a little moist: "Mom, if you can make a pot of meat for me to eat, I will miss you even more......"

In front of him, there was still a plate of white chicken pieces, pure chicken breast, without chewiness and texture, let alone taste.

"Less nonsense, eat quickly!" Li Cuiyun was unmoved.

Zhou Yi sighed, picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks and stuffed it in his mouth, and then chewed it mechanically and slowly, with a loveless expression on his face.

Zhou Yi will not return to Dortmund directly after his "warm" holiday, in fact, he will not leave China, he will fly to Kunming to participate in the national team's training camp and prepare for two warm-up matches.

The opponents are Uzbekistan and North Korea, respectively.

These will be the last two warm-up matches before the Chinese team participates in the Asian qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

At the airport, Zhou Yi said goodbye to his parents.

"Dad, why don't you open my box this time to see if I forgot something?" Zhou Yi asked.

"Now that you're older, it's your responsibility to forget something. "Zhou Jianliang's strength shook the pot. "Pack your own luggage and get rid of ......"

Li Cuiyun said to Zhou Yi: "Me and your father, don't worry about it, we will find the house." You can just play football out there. ”

"Okay, Mom. Zhou Yi nodded.

Then, the three of them waved goodbye, without the kind of parting feelings of hugging their heads and crying, and thus began the cycle of looking forward to reunion.

When Zhou Yi arrived at Kunming Airport, his identity changed from that ordinary child who wanted to eat back pot meat to a radiant hope for Chinese football.

Chinese fans at the scene pulled banners to welcome him to Kunming, and reporters dazzled him again with flashing lights.

Zhou Yi realized that it is not for nothing that many celebrities wear sunglasses in front of the media and the public, even at night - this is to prevent glare!

Although Zhou Jianliang was very happy that his son once again wore the jersey of the Chinese national team and launched an attack on the World Cup, he was still in a trance when he saw his son on the news. He pointed to the TV screen and asked his wife, "Alas, you said that our son and this big star are really the same person?"

Li Cuiyun pursed her lips and ignored him.

Of course, she also misses her son, but she thinks that a good boy has ambitions in all directions, and that stinky boy who sleeps at home all day long, does not comb his hair, does not wash his face, and is sloppy should not be his son.

After Zhou Yi returned to the national team, he saw many teammates from the Asian Cup, but he also saw some fresh faces - Coach Gao Hongbo is still constantly looking for fresh blood to supplement the team's strength.

After a week of intensive training, the Chinese national team welcomed their first warm-up match opponent Uzbekistan in Kunming.

Zhou Yi started and played 70 minutes to help China beat Uzbekistan 2-1.

The Chinese team then moved to Guiyang to prepare for the second warm-up match against North Korea.

In this game, Zhou Yi did not start, but was substituted in the 60th minute. In that game, the Chinese team and North Korea drew 1:1.

After the warm-up matches, the Chinese team was disbanded on the spot, and Zhou Yi's teammates in China will return to their respective clubs to continue their league journey.

And Zhou Yi? He is going to Shanghai to meet with his agent, Schulze, where he will attend a business event and sign a contract with a well-known domestic PC brand. This is an endorsement contract negotiated for him by Schulze when Zhou Yi was on vacation in Qingyang. The five-year endorsement contract will bring 15 million yuan of revenue to Zhouyi.

And since the computer brand itself also has a mobile phone business, Schulze also specifically emphasized that the scope of this endorsement is limited to PCs and laptops, and does not involve mobile phone brand endorsements.

Now with the popularity of Apple's mobile phone, smartphones have become the mainstream of today's mobile terminal, although there is no mobile phone manufacturer looking for athlete endorsement, but it does not mean that there will be no in the future. So Schulze didn't want to sell Zhou Yi's portrait rights at a low price at this time.

He wants to keep it in his hands and wait for the price to be sold when the wave of smartphones sweeps the world in the future.

Zhou Yi also agreed with his choice, now he is not so much money, if he can make more money in the future, then wait.

In fact, there are still many domestic brands that want to sign a contract with Zhou Yi, after Zhou Yi won the Bundesliga championship, his fame skyrocketed, and everyone hoped to be able to come to the light.

But Schulze succeeded in playing the role of a hard-line German agent who did not understand people and did not understand China, and rejected them all.

He cherishes Zhou Yi's image very much, and he doesn't sign it now if it's not an internationally renowned brand, and he doesn't sign it for any amount of money.

Because Zhou Yi is a person who wants to become a world-class star, the brand he endorses must of course match his status in the football world.

In addition to signing the contract in Shanghai, it is to participate in the press conference of this computer brand, at the press conference, the other party officially announced that Zhou Yi has become their global ambassador, and Zhou Yi will stay in Shanghai for two more days to shoot advertising videos for this brand.

Later, Zhou Yi will go to the United States, where he will shoot a promotional advertisement for the new season for Puma, this time highlighting Zhou Yi's identity as the "champion core".

In the United States, it is not only for Puma to shoot commercials, but also for ck_jeans new commercials waiting for him.

In addition, there is a new endorsement contract waiting for him to sign, also a well-known international brand - Pepsi.

It stands to reason that carbonated drinks should be taboo for professional players, but on the contrary, in the field of advertising endorsements, carbonated beverage giants such as Pepsi and Coca-Cola are very fond of signing contracts with athletes. Perhaps it's the firepower displayed by the athletes that attracts teenagers to their brand.

Pepsi's contract is Schulzer's most labor-intensive list, and he has been grinding Pepsi for almost half a season. It wasn't until Zhou Yi helped Dortmund win the league championship that Pepsi was completely suppressed, making them willing to pay a "sky-high" sponsorship fee of 1.5 million euros per year for Zhou Yi. You must know that a world superstar like Henry also gets two million a year at Pepsi.

The 1.5 million contract is for a six-year period, and Zhou Yi will benefit from PepsiCo 9 million euros in sponsorship over a period of six years, which is indeed a sky-high contract. And six years later, Zhou Yi is only twenty-six years old, and his career is in the golden age, whether it is to renew his contract with Pepsi or change jobs to other companies, the cost will only be more than now, and it is impossible to be less.

In addition to these, Zhou Yi also had to be interviewed by two media outlets in the United States.

On the plane from Shanghai to the United States, Schulze was discussing with Zhou Yi about the cost of interviews.

"From now on, all interviews will be charged except for those specified in the contract. Schulze said to Zhou Yi.

"Do you still have to charge money for interviews?" Zhou Yi didn't react.

"Of course, interviews are taking up your time, and every minute of your life is precious. Because there will be countless people who want to come to you, and if you don't charge for it, wouldn't anyone be able to use a very random reason to take up your precious time?" Schulze said to Zhou Yi.

"Okay, okay, you're right. Zhou Yi was persuaded, "How should I charge for that?" for half an hour...... Five hundred euros?"

Shultzer smiled: "You really look down on yourself, Zhou Yi." Do you know what Messi's interview price?

Under his contract with FC Barcelona, he will be paid for the rest of the 14 press conferences arranged by the club, limited interviews with local media and one international media interview per season...... A thousand euros!"

Zhou Yi opened his mouth wide and looked at Shu Erze, and said for a long time: "This is a money grab...... Oh no, time is money......"
