The fat manager, whose name is Brandon Lillard, is in charge of the advertising business of Adidas (UK), and it is also his job to sign a brand spokesperson, but when it comes to a major signing involving tens of millions of dollars, he still has to send someone from the headquarters to nod.

The previous endorsement cooperation with Zhen Shaolong was the Adidas headquarters.

Adidas (UK) is a subsidiary, and the promotion of the signing event is carried out by the branch.

Brandon Lillard is also a very capable manager at Adidas (UK), he has been advertising manager for five years, and he has held the British front for Adidas in the European market, which is constantly being eaten away by rival Nike.

Brandon Lillard has a wealth of experience in his work and has been involved in many star signing activities, and the current signing entertainment is actually designed by Lillard to highlight Zhen Shaolong's outstanding footwork.

When Adidas signs a star, it must promote the star.

If it is a signed defender with average footwork, he will definitely not do similar activities, and its contracted stars will not be able to kick the ball into the ring, which will not only lose the player's face, but also damage the brand image of Adidas.

Zhen Shaolong is different.

Now it is recognized throughout Europe that Zhen Shaolong has the world's No. 1 shooting footwork, and it is naturally not a problem to kick the football into the ring.

So how many can he kick?

Before the signing ceremony began, Lillard also asked the expert group to evaluate, and most of the people's analysis opinions were 'at least a few' and 'at most a dozen'.

This is a common view.

Several soccer pundits are of the same opinion, and Lillard has designed the specific rules of the event based on the numbers.

One ball, twenty thousand pounds.

A dozen balls, only 300,000 or 400,000 pounds.

This money gives the stars a chance to perform live, let the public see the level of Adidas signing stars, and by the way, let the on-site media do publicity, and maybe there can be a video that goes viral on the Internet, which is almost equivalent to shooting a small advertisement, which is definitely a sure-fire deal.

"It's better to get in more, more than a dozen! Twenty in! ”

"That's the way to get the publicity!"

Lillard thought to himself.

————

The event is about to begin.

Before the event began, the host also asked Zhen Shaolong, "How many do you think you can kick?" ”

Zhen Shaolong glanced at the ring, took the microphone and said to the audience, "I don't want to talk about quantity." ”

"Is it a lack of faith?" The host asked jokingly.

Zhen Shaolong ignored the host, but said to the surrounding audience, "Fat manager just now...... Ahem, Adidas' handsome, handsome, and most charismatic manager explained the rules to me in detail, and I just thought that Christmas was coming. ”

"I've always had a dream of giving Christmas gifts to the fans who support me, but there are so many fans that I can't do it alone, thanks to Adidas, they are ready to help me achieve my dream!"

"Then I'm going to use my feet to help everyone win Christmas presents!"

The scene burst into laughter.

Every reporter and fan thought Zhen Shaolong was joking, and Lillard thought the same thing, and he also said to the assistant next to him, "He's really humorous." ”

The assistant nodded, "I've always thought he was the kind of person who was unsociable and somewhat silent, because he just sat there backstage and didn't say a word. It doesn't seem like that now, he probably just doesn't want to talk to me......"

"Who made you not a beauty?" Lillard quipped.

Both laughed.

The host announced the official start of the event, Zhen Shaolong walked to the specified position with the ball, and after putting down the ball, he glanced at the ring again.

The first kick is important.

The event site is not a football field, and below is a temporary turf laid manually, which must be used to before you can really get into the state.

Zhen Shaolong took a deep breath and swung his right foot behind the ball.

He didn't use much force, but used the way to pick the ball and send the ball accurately into the center of the ring.

"Awesome!"

"The first kick can hit accurately!"

"Perfect!"

The scene was applauded.

Lillard, his assistant, and the host also clapped their hands vigorously.

The diameter of the ring hanging in the middle is more than half a meter, and it seems that it is not difficult to kick out the penalty kick, but in fact, if you want to hit accurately, the difficulty is still very high, even if there is only a little mistake, the football will deviate, and the deviation is slightly larger, it may hit the ring, or even fly out directly.

It's not easy to hit the center with the first kick.

The staff threw the ball over, and after Zhen Shaolong set it up, he immediately kicked out the second kick.

This time it's a volley.

"Bang!"

Like a cannonball, the football quickly burrowed into the ring, and then flew high into the crowd, and the crowd immediately scrambled, because whoever grabbed the ball was whoever stood.

Lillard realized something was wrong, "If he plays a dozen shots in a row, it costs a dozen footballs...... There aren't enough football! ”

In order not to make the event embarrassing, Lillard immediately instructed his assistant, "Go get some more football!" ”

"How many balls are there?"

"Probably not enough!"

Next, as Lillard thought, Zhen Shaolong easily completed ten balls in a row, seven of which flew into the crowd.

When Zhen Shaolong finished kicking the thirteenth kick, the staff stopped in place, and he asked suspiciously, "Throw the ball over?" ”

“……”

The host immediately came to the stage and said embarrassedly, "Mr. Zhen is so powerful, he actually kicked all the balls on the spot." ”

Five minutes later.

Dozens of balls were brought over by the staff, and they were dropped by phone from Newcastle United, and the next activity was able to continue.

Zhen Shaolong successfully completed seven in a row.

At this time, the atmosphere of the audience was completely mobilized, and after they understood the rules, they also knew that everyone could get a lot of money.

Some people started to calculate.

There are about 2,000 people at the scene, and there are also activities such as audience lottery, each audience has a number plate, and the audience who finally receives the number plate almost knows the effective number, which is about 2,300.

For a ball, the audience can divide 10,000 pounds, and everyone can get about four pounds, the figure of four pounds is a bit pitiful, but Zhen Shaolong scored twenty goals, and four pounds became eighty pounds.

That's a lot!

Newcastle United's red-light district, find a good little sister, the price is good enough to negotiate.

The audience was excited!

"Come on!"

"You have to get in!"

"I love this Christmas present!"

The atmosphere became hot, which made Lillard feel very relieved, and the audience's emotions were mobilized, and the publicity could achieve the best effect.

Now is the best time to be.

Lillard thought, "If you can get more than 20 balls, you will have the best effect", and the estimated funding for the event, around 500,000 pounds, 500,000 pounds of investment, sounds like a lot, but there will be a lot of media shooting, and there will be a lot of media coverage, and the advertising money will come back.

"As long as it doesn't exceed thirty balls, the event can be said to be a success!"

That's what Lillard expected.

In fact, Lillard was already surprised, he didn't expect Zhen Shaolong to score so many goals and play such a good publicity effect, and he couldn't help but praise, "He really has the best footwork in the world!" The most important thing is that he can continue to ensure his condition, and he has not even made a single mistake. ”

Stage.

Zhen Shaolong was still kicking, he only took about fifteen seconds for each ball, the staff threw the ball over, he put the position, glanced at the ring and started directly.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Soon the number reached thirty.

The atmosphere could be described as frenzied, and even the reporters were shouting, because they were part of the audience, and they received one or two hundred pounds, which was almost enough for a day or two of their salaries.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Thirty-five!

Forty!

Lillard finally felt that something was wrong, scoring forty goals in a row, which was simply incredible, 20,000 pounds a ball, and 800,000 pounds was also more than expected.

This......

I'm starting to lose money!

"Why hasn't he made a mistake yet? Hurry up and make a mistake! The event has gone through the cracks so far......"

Lillard was sweating.

To say that I didn't know before, it's because the number of times is still expected, and when it exceeds expectations, 20,000 pounds a ball is a bit too much. The next one means a loss of 20,000 pounds, the key is that Zhen Shaolong is still scoring goals, and there is no sign of possible mistakes at all.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Forty-five!

Fifty!

"Calm down, I want to be calm!"

"It's a good thing to sign a great star, anyway, the contract is set, the better he performs, the better it will be for Adidas!"

"The more you enter, the better......"

Lillard tried to convince himself, but the more he thought about it, the more he broke out in a cold sweat, the activities were handled by the British branch, and the losses were also borne by the British branch.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Sixty!

Seventy!

The audience was completely boiling.

At this time, even reporters from neutral media and hostile media began to cheer for Zhen Shaolong, and every time he kicked one, they shouted loudly, "Come on!" ”

"One more!"

"Beautiful!"

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

When he scored the eightiest goal, Zhen Shaolong felt a little tired, although there was "Standing Warrior" to assist in recovering physical fitness, but the recovery speed was definitely not able to catch up with the consumption, he was really a little tired.

But it's all money!

Even though he felt a little tired physically, he still mentally kicked the ball in one after another, and soon the embarrassing scene appeared again - there was not enough football!

More than half of the balls kicked out by Zhen Shaolong were in the hands of the audience, the number of footballs was constantly decreasing, and the last ball was still gone.

Lillard let out a long breath as he finally found a chance to pause his activities.

But......

The audience is amazing!

When the spectators found that there were not enough balls, they spontaneously threw the balls in their hands back into the field, and suddenly the number of balls became sufficient again.

"Thank you!"

Zhen Shaolong took the microphone from the host's hand, thanked the audience around him, and then continued to devote himself to his efforts, because of the continuous consumption of physical energy, he also began to deliberately slow down the speed, anyway, the event did not stipulate the time for the ball.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Ninety!

One hundred!

By the time the number exceeded a hundred, Lillard had become numb, and he felt like his mind was stalling, and his brain was a little unable to keep up.

The enthusiasm of the audience continues, and they feel more cool than watching a big fight.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

One hundred and ten.

One hundred and twenty ......

Lillard finally reacted and knew that he couldn't continue, otherwise the event would not be over, and the company would usher in huge losses.

Now the publicity effect has reached its peak, and it will be a bit unbearable to continue to lose money.

When Zhen Shaolong completed the 123rd ball, Lillard rushed to the stage quickly, and he wanted to say with a bitter face, "Dad, don't go in, okay?" ”

Of course.

Lillard still wants to save face, and he said to Zhen Shaolong, "Zhen, you are so good, we didn't expect that this event would be so simple for you, ...... here"

Lillard turned his head to the crowd, "We should congratulate Zhen, he scored an astonishing 123 goals, which is enough to qualify him for the Guinness World Records, which no one can surpass." ”

"Adidas will help Zhen apply for a new Guinness World Records, and he will leave an important mark in the history of human records......"

"This is the end of the event!"

"I am announcing that Adidas will give out £2.5 million, of which £1.25 million will be given to all the spectators!"

Zhen Shaolong was suddenly dissatisfied, he looked at Lillard questioningly, and wanted to say something.

Lillard's assistant next to him hurriedly pulled him to explain, "Don't worry, Zhen, your share is 1.5 million pounds, and the company will help you apply for world records." ”

"Really?"

"Yes."

"But I think I can score 200 ......"

“……”

Zhen Shaolong sighed regretfully, knowing that he had reached the other party's bottom line, he shook his head and said, "Okay, I agreed, you are the one who meets me who is so good at talking, if it is someone else, this matter is really unbearable!" ”

"A businessman must be reputable! A company as big as Adidas ......"

"Hey! Disappointed! ”
