Chapter 443 The Light of Asia

At this time, Lin Feng also got out of the car. Anyway, he almost hit someone just now. Li Rui apologized as the driver, but Li Rui almost hit someone because of his emotional excitement. Of course. Of course, Lin Feng also wanted to see who this person is, with such a good skill, he can cross over from the Mercedes-Benz S600. This is similar to the memory of Kobe Bryant flying over the Aston Martin sports car that galloped over.

"Huh!" When the visitor saw Lin Feng, he was surprised. He didn't expect the owner of this car to be so young.

"Huh!" Lin Feng was also taken aback, unexpectedly it was him, it was him!

"Hey..." Without waiting for Lin Feng to greet him, the visitor curled his lips helplessly and ran away.

"Li Rui, get in the car and catch up with him." Lin Feng wanted to catch him personally, but looking at his running speed, Lin Feng knew he would not be able to catch up with this person in his life, so he quickly got in the car and let Li Rui drive to chase him.

After a daze, Li Rui got in the car.

"Boss, it was just a misunderstanding. He didn't step on the Mercedes-Benz S600. We can go to the garage for a little repair. You don't have to go to him for compensation! Besides, he is not rich." Li Rui said The person had a good impression. Seeing that Lin Feng was going to chase him, he was afraid that Lin Feng would make trouble for him.

"Haha, Li Rui, you are my driver and bodyguard, so helping people talk. Okay, I don't want him to pay compensation. I want to ask him for something else." Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.

Li Rui took a closer look at Lin Feng and saw that there was no discomfort in him. He sighed with relief and hurriedly drove to chase the person who had just taken him. If Lin Feng really wants to pursue the crime of trampling on the Mercedes-Benz S600, he really doesn't know how to handle it. Fortunately, this boss does not bully others like other rich men. This also makes Li Rui and others more fortunate that the boss he works for is worthy of service.

As the Mercedes-Benz S600 drove forward, Lin Feng smiled on his face.

I didn't expect to meet him when I came out today. How could this person keep forgetting, no, you must sign him, you must! ——Lin Feng clenched his fists and urged Li Rui to chase him with excitement.

Although people run fast, they can't be as fast as cars. Before long, Li Rui drove to catch up with the man.

The man heard the car horn blaring behind him, and when he looked back, he almost hit his Mercedes-Benz S600 just now, frowned, and stopped. Although he has no money to pay, he will not choose to escape.

When the car stopped, Lin Feng walked out of the car with a look of excitement.

"This gentleman, I admit that I stepped on the car deliberately. If you want me to compensate, I will confess, but now I have no money, but I must have money to compensate you in the future." The man frowned and did not hide himself. The motivation for deliberate revenge is very straightforward.

Lin Feng smiled.

"I think you might have misunderstood. I came to catch up, but I didn't come to you for compensation." Lin Feng shrugged and said with a smile.

The man heaved a sigh of relief. After all, this stepped on a cavity, and no matter how much it was repaired, it would cost a few thousand yuan. His family is really not rich.

"Hehe, if I guessed correctly, you should be - Liu Xiang! I wonder if I can buy you a cup of coffee and have a chat by the way?" Lin Feng excitedly said this person's name. He is the Light of Asia. ——Liu Xiang.

Speaking of Liu Xiang, Lin Feng believes that all Chinese, even Asians, know it. A man who tied the Olympic record, broke the world record, and became the winner of the men's 110-meter hurdles Grand Slam, an Olympic champion, a world championship champion and a world record holder. More importantly, his single appearance broke the situation where white and black players dominated the 110-meter hurdles, and he was called the light of Asia by the media of various Asian countries.

Lin Feng did not expect to accidentally "crash" Liu Xiang here, the young man who will dominate the 110-meter hurdles in Asia in the future and compete with the best players from all over the world. Of course, Liu Xiang is still not well-known, he just won the World University Games championship and the National Games championship. It really started to shine three months later. On July 2, 2002, at the IAAF Grand Prix in Lausanne, Switzerland, the world youth record of 110 meters hurdles, which had been maintained for 24 years, was set at 13.12 seconds. At the same time break the Asian record.

Of course, what made Liu Xiang really popular was two years later. At the Athens Olympics, Liu Xiang tied the world record set by British player Colin Jackson in 1993 with 12.91 seconds and broke the Olympic record of 12.95 seconds. The gold medal he won was also the first track and field gold medal won by a Chinese male athlete in the Olympics.

Now that he "ran into" Liu Xiang, Lin Feng would naturally not let him go. Thinking about his future popularity in Asia, Lin Feng has no reason to let Liu Xiang go. Moreover, Lin Feng personally admires Liu Xiang very much. In 2006, at the awards ceremony of the Chinese Sports Personality in Shanghai, Liu Xiang did not thank this, thank you for that, and said a lot of false words of thanks. His first words made people listen. Uplifting.

——I stand here today to win this award. First of all, I want to thank myself, because of my own efforts, I can stand here today...

This speech was indeed a bit arrogant, but Lin Feng appreciated it. Indeed, coaches are very important, but China’s track and field has always had so many coaches, so many athletes, so few people can win the Olympic gold medal, and only Liu Xiang has won the track and field Olympic gold medal. This is his own effort. Strength in exchange.

"Sir, do you know me?" Liu Xiang was a little surprised. He didn't expect this young and unspeakable Mercedes-Benz S600 owner to know him.

"Haha, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lin Feng, the president of'Second World'." Lin Feng introduced.

"Oh, you are Lin Feng, I know you, the Chinese boss of the Houston Rockets." Liu Xiang suddenly realized and exclaimed. Although he is a track and field athlete, in addition to track and field, his favorite is basketball, and he himself can dunk, naturally also like to watch the NBA, Lin Feng bought the Houston Rockets this news, how could he not know.

"Haha, Liu Xiang, get in the car and find a place to talk." Lin Feng invited.

"Okay, Lin Dong invited me. I don't feel uncomfortable." Liu Xiang smiled and pulled the car door and sat on it.

During a casual chat with Liu Xiang, Lin Feng and others went to an open-air cafe on the Bund in Shanghai.

"Liu Xiang, you are a refreshing person, and I won't go around with you anymore. I want to invite you to be the spokesperson of our company. I don't know what you want?" Lin Feng said straightforwardly. Don't go around in circles when you talk to someone with a personality like Liu Xiang, otherwise it will arouse him resentment, it's unnecessary.

"Look for me, I'm just a 110-meter hurdle, and I don't have any reputation." Liu Xiang was taken aback, pointing to himself in disbelief.

"Hehe, I can do it if I say it. What's more, I don't care about the present, but your future. I believe you will succeed in the future and become the first in the country, in Asia, and in the world." Lin Feng said with a smile.

Liu Xiang was a little confused, but he didn't expect Lin Feng to be so optimistic about him.

"Uh, but my brokerage team is the China Athletics Association, I am afraid I can't be the master in these aspects." Liu Xiang said.

"Don't worry, as long as you personally want to, I will solve it on the field of the Association. By the way, this is a simple contract. Look, if there are no problems, we will first reach an oral agreement, and then I will go to the Association of Fields to talk to you. Sign the contract officially." Lin Feng took out an initial agreement for Yao Ming from his briefcase.

Liu Xiang opened it and looked at it, shocked. The contract gives him up to 2 million yuan in endorsement fees each year, and the contract is signed for 5 years. This really surprised Liu Xiang. He didn't expect Lin Feng to offer him such a generous contract.

"Dong Lin, this is too generous, am I really worth the price?" Liu Xiang was not hypocritical and asked directly.

"Hehe, you are definitely not worth it now, but the future may be more than this price. I am renewing your contract in advance. If you are afraid of being ashamed, you can train hard and try to get better results even if you return it to me." Lin Feng said with a smile.

After listening, Liu Xiang nodded, then raised his head again, his eyes gleaming.

"Don't worry, Lin Dong, I will never let you down. I will definitely make your contract worth it in the future." Liu Xiang vowed.

Lin Feng nodded, this couldn't be better.

"By the way, I will hire you a nutritionist, a masseur, and a doctor who specializes in athlete injuries to ensure your health." Lin Feng remembered that in 2008, Liu Xiang retired from the competition due to injury at the Beijing Olympics. The helpless expression was a moment of sorrow.

The reason why Liu Xiang was injured was because of the injury caused during the game in the United States in May 2008, but the root cause was that the corresponding nutrition, physiotherapy and medical care did not keep up when he was not well-known in the early days. Before Liu Xiang, no one in China ran for 13 seconds. His coach Sun Haiping studied how to train, but how to ensure his health, the domestic medical level has not kept up.

This time, Lin Feng will never let Liu Xiang repeat the same mistakes again. Liu Xiang must not fall on the court due to injuries. Whoever makes Asia has only one Liu Xiang.

"Dong Lin, thank you for this." Liu Xiang is also very welcome. He knows the medical level of the track team best. It is natural that domestically does not pay much attention to the inferior items, not to mention the foreign level in protecting athletes from injury. It is indeed higher than domestically. Of course, Lin Feng's kindness was recorded in his heart, but the repayment was not with mouth but with achievements and actions.

After bidding farewell to Liu Xiang, Lin Feng contacted the Ueda Association to discuss about Liu Xiang's signing to become the endorsement of the "Second World". Now Liu Xiang is not well-known, and Tian Xie is really surprised that Lin Feng signed a contract with Liu Xiang at a price of 2 million yuan per year. In terms of commercial promotion of Athletics Association athletes, according to regulations, athletes get 50%, coaches 15%, local sports bureaus that train athletes account for 20%, and China Athletics Association keeps 15%. With this calculation, the AAF can get 300,000 renminbi each year, which is not a small amount of income for the AAF.

What made Lin Feng dumbfounded was that the Tianxie Association unexpectedly proposed to sign for a few more years. After consulting Liu Xiang, Lin Feng signed Liu Xiang's endorsement contract for the next ten years at a price of RMB 2 million per year. Of course, it stipulates that if you win the national championship, the Asian championship will have another reward. As for the Olympic champions, the Tianxie Association did not fill in because they dare not think about it.

After the signing of Liu Xiang was settled, Shanghai Oriental Sharks also relied on Yao Ming's dominance performance, got the CBA championship as they wished, and officially started negotiations with Lin Feng about Yao Ming's transfer. Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the Houston Rockets can sign Yao Ming.

For this negotiation, Lin Feng called Dawson directly from the Houston Rockets. Although the NBA prohibits contact with players before the draft, whoever lets this be China, not the United States, Stern is beyond reach, not to mention that he still hopes to develop. Chinese market.

However, this negotiation was extremely unsuccessful. Ever since the Shanghai Oriental Shark got the news from nowhere, knowing that Lin Feng had signed a track and field athlete at a price of 2 million yuan per year, the bidding price has suddenly risen. The original five-year advertising contract of 100 million yuan suddenly rose to 200 million yuan in five years. He regarded Lin Feng as a "catcher" and was desperately exploiting.

Of course, Lin Feng knew through contact that this was not the intention of Lu Hao, the general manager of Shanghai Oriental Shark Club, and he did not want to go too far. A five-year contract of 100 million yuan is enough for Shanghai Oriental Sharks to operate in the next five years. Have other income. However, the ownership of the Shanghai Oriental Sharks belongs to the Shanghai Basketball Association of the Shanghai Sports Committee.

Facing Yao Ming's "big cake", these administrative officials would really feel sorry for their conscience if they took a bite. Therefore, when negotiating with these officials, he couldn't stand their faces and broke up directly. Lin Feng entrusted Dawson to take charge of this negotiation.

Inside the box of a restaurant in Shanghai.

"Dong Lin, sorry, my contract has caused you trouble." Yao Ming frowned.

"Hehe, there is no way, these basketball association officials are like this. Of course, this is only the Shanghai Basketball Association officials, no matter how much they want, it will not be much. The real trouble is the Chinese Basketball Association, regarding the approval of Chinese players to play abroad. The agreement stipulates that 50% of the salary must be turned over to the Basketball Association. This is not a small amount. You must be the champion this year. According to the NBA champion contract, the contract period is 3+1. The last year of the team’s priority is a total of 1802. Ten thousand US dollars (3.85 million, 4.14 million, 4.43 million, 5.6 million). "Lin Feng is really upset that the Basketball Association needs to take 50%.

Although the 50% was handed in by Yao Ming, Lin Feng learned that the Chinese Basketball Association would divide it into 50%, and as long as you are a player of the Chinese Basketball Association and participate in the national team, all salaries for playing overseas must be handed in. Making Lin Feng angry, how could Lin Feng help Yao Ming save the money this time. For nothing else, it's just unhappy that this class of "official masters" exploits people like this.

Yao Ming sighed and cursed secretly. As a player, he is still understandable for the compensation that the Shanghai Oriental Shark requires. After all, he has been trained. Although his family also pays training fees every year, but in any case, the Shanghai Oriental Shark has made him famous. But for the 50% of the basketball association’s salary dividend, I really don’t understand.

"Okay, don't think too much. By the way, I have a contract here. I invite you to be the spokesperson of our company. Come and see if you are dissatisfied." Lin Feng handed Yao Ming a contract.

This contract is much higher than Liu Xiang's. After all, the current Yao Ming has won the CBA championship and is about to go to the NBA, and it is very likely that he will enter the NBA as the first foreign champion, and his value has also risen.

Lin Feng’s contract is 5 million yuan per year, and the contract is 5 years. This contract is more in line with Yao Ming's current worth, but once he becomes the first foreign champion in the NBA, and after his own results in the NBA, he is more worthy. Jump up several times at least, but now Yao Ming is not the champion after all, and he has not proved himself in the NBA, especially the contract between him and the Shanghai Oriental Sharks, and the basketball association has not been finalized, no one can say in the future. . Of course, except for Lin Feng.

After taking a closer look, Yao Ming nodded.

"Dong Lin, I'm looking for an economic team these days, and I will sign with you when it is finalized. However, I personally have a request. I hope you can be more generous regarding the compensation of the Shanghai Oriental Shark Club. If the budget is exceeded , I can personally compensate in the future." Yao Ming said sincerely.

Lin Feng nodded. Unexpectedly, Yao Ming was really the same as before. He would rather lose money to compensate the Shanghai Oriental Shark.

"Relax, I know this in my mind. On the Basketball Association side, you have to think of ways. It really doesn't work. I will help you expose this contract. I believe the Basketball Association will not risk offending the people and athletes of the country. The risk is biting at 50%. But before that, you should also go to the NBA earlier. I want you to appear in this year’s draft, and it’s better to appear in the NBA training camp earlier. This will be good for your NBA career. Great benefit." Lin Feng said.

"But there will be the Asian Games this year." Yao Ming frowned.

"If you don't participate in the Asian Games, you are also a champion if you don't participate in China. Besides, is your goal to be the Asian Games champion? Is there only one Asian Games champion?" Lin Feng stimulated.

"But..." Yao Ming still hesitated.

"Relax, starting tomorrow, you will be'injured'. I will let the Shanghai Oriental Shark cooperate with you." Lin Feng smiled strangely. Seeing Yao Ming still not petitioning, Lin Feng explained, "You have to believe me, I am not. Being patriotic, I don’t want China to achieve good results. But my goal is not in Asia, in the world. I hope that China can win a championship in the three major men’s ball sports. Volleyball men’s volleyball is definitely hopeless, football... The platoon is even more hopeless, only basketball has hope. And this hope lies in you. The stronger you are, the higher the level of Chinese basketball. Moreover, I will definitely cultivate a group of helpers around you to win the World Championships. , Won the Olympic champion."

After Yao Ming listened, the whole person stayed. He didn't expect Lin Feng to be so ambitious, but this wish was really good, and he was full of enthusiasm.

"Okay, Lin Dong, just listen to you. I ‘frauded’ once, and for a better future, I ‘frauded’ once.” Yao Ming said with a fist.

Lin Feng smiled. This "fraudulent injury" is not only for the future of Chinese basketball, but it is of great significance!
