1018 Special Projects
This is how 2013 has arrived, and after the countdown is over, the New Year has arrived. In fact, New York is only New Year's Eve now, but San Francisco has already ended New Year's Eve three hours ago, and now the celebration party has come to an end.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ke began to flip through the New Year's greetings sent by his friends, at different times in different time zones, there is always a steady stream of text messages, but because the New Year's Eve countdown in New York is a well-known special event in the entire United States, many people choose East Coast time to define the real arrival of the New Year.
In the midst of a bunch of blessings, Lu Ke unexpectedly saw the Jerry Jones from Jerry Jones' New Year's Greetings - the Dallas Cowboy Boss.
"What a great season! Amazing performance! What could be more perfect? Maybe three straight playoff wins? Anyway, Happy New Year and good luck for the rest of the races!
Yours
Jerry. ”
It can be seen that this is not a unified group text message, but a text message written by Jerry seriously, for one of the top giant crocodile bosses in the entire league, such treatment is really flattering, cordial and friendly, peaceful and restrained, even the text message of Jade York, the president of the San Francisco 49ers, is so level-
In fact, Jed York did not send New Year's greetings to Lu Ke, but came to the locker room on the day of the end of the regular season and congratulated all the players in advance on a happy New Year; It was team manager Trent Balk who sent New Year's greetings tonight according to the time on the West Coast.
Jerry Jones hasn't made any special moves since the offseason week meeting, all the way to today. The greetings to the point will not seem too urgent and self-defeating; But it can convey kindness just right, and it is impeccable.
I have to say that Jerry's performance is indeed smart, and Lu Ke did not make a fuss, but politely replied, and also wished the other party a happy New Year.
Jerry's greeting, Lu Ke didn't take it too seriously, and then continued to scroll down, and then saw the complaint from Leonardo DiCaprio, "I was expecting someone to save me from this boring and boring New Year's Eve party, and you didn't even think about inviting me?" Bad review! Can we still be friends? ”
Lu Ke couldn't help laughing.
At tonight's party, many teammates took photos and sent them to the photo wall, and even Lu Ke was forced to upload one, which was called "2012 All-Winning Season Team"; After swiping the update of the photo wall, Lu Ke saw the photo of Leonardo in Los Angeles for New Year's Eve, and swiped his hand to like it.
And then...... Lu Ke received this text message from Leonardo.
"Isn't it up to me to complain that you didn't extend an invitation to me? Doesn't seem right in this position? Lu Ke quickly replied to a text message, and complained to Leonardo without hesitation, "In addition, I don't really want the paparazzi to gather at my doorstep, I'm not ready to become popular now." ”
Sneak away from the hustle and bustle of the party and enjoy a moment of tranquility, until Jiang Youning pushed open the screen window door of the backyard corridor, poked his head out and said in a loud voice, "Xiao Ke, the guests are about to leave, you come over to see everyone off." ”
Jiang Youning was also very happy tonight, he drank a lot of wine, his cheeks were dyed crimson, and even his eyes were a little hazy.
Lu Ke stood up, raised his hand to support his mother, and told with a smile, "Mom, you go to the living room to sit and rest for a while, don't run outside, and leave the matter of sending guests to me." Be careful to add a jacket and be careful of catching a cold. ”
"Okay, I know." Jiang Youning raised his chin and showed a bright smile, then raised his hand and touched Lu Ke's hair, and pulled all the broken hair that hung down slightly to the back, "Our little Ke has grown up!" ”
Sure enough, he was drunk, if not completely drunk, at least he was slightly drunk.
Lu Ke smiled dumbly, and helped his mother back into the warm air of the room.
Next, it's Lu Ke's turn to be busy-
After making sure that every teammate was sent to the taxi, making sure that all the doors and windows at home were closed, making sure that a cleaning company specializing in cleaning up party residues was booked in advance, making sure that Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning both returned to their beds and fell asleep, and making sure that the next-door neighbor had no other conditions, after all were confirmed, Lu Ke called a taxi for himself and returned to the apartment, and the world finally quieted down.
……
When the morning light tears through the shackles of the night, life returns to the original track, and the so-called new year and new atmosphere are still insisted on training day after day for professional players.
Today's recovery training, Lu Ke spent more time adapting to the changes in his body, yesterday he completed the stacking of one hundred and twenty-four base points in one go, and now his body can withstand more training tasks, he needs to adapt and adjust little by little, it is not a difficult process, but it still takes time to complete.
When I got back to the apartment, I was about thirty minutes later than usual.
From a distance, Lech Steinberg and Vincent Camp could be seen standing outside, seemingly impatient because of the long waiting time, so they simply left the carriage to breathe a little fresh air, and when they noticed Lu Ke's appearance, Vincent took the initiative to greet him, showing a relieved expression, "Bambi, you finally appeared!" ”
Lu Ke slowed down, adjusted the rhythm of his breathing, did not speak or explain, just stared at Vincent and Lech.
Lehe took a deep puff on the cigar in his hand, carefully examined Lu Ke's expression, and then chuckled, "You don't remember, do you?" ”
"What?" Lu Ke's reaction verified Lech's conjecture.
Vincent was a person who couldn't hide things, and he didn't hide his shock at all, and blurted out all his thoughts, "No, I reminded you three times before and after, there was a special meeting today, it was about sponsorship, it was very important, why did you forget it?" ”
Now as soon as Vincent said it, Lu Ke's memory returned, "Ah! I remember, was that today? ”
With such an understatement, a natural look, and a look that didn't seem to care, Vincent only felt a little blockage in his chest.
Lech is not surprised, Lu Ke all his attention is focused on the game and training, almost no care about off-field things, the last game at the end of the season is important, and it is normal to forget those meticulous things, and it can even be said to be expected.
"You go take a shower first. We'll talk more about it on the way to the studio. Lech got to the point.
Lu Ke nodded in agreement, "Give me five minutes." ”
Five minutes later.
Vincent started the engine and headed towards his destination, "There's no need to rush, it's okay to be late, pay attention to traffic safety." "Work is important, but we now have more important people in the car, and that's a lot of money." ”
The serious conversation was deeply ridiculous, and Lu Ke didn't mind, but nodded seriously in agreement, "That's it." If there is an accident now, the insurance company will not be able to pay for it. ”
Vincent, who was in the driver's seat, glanced through the rearview mirror and muttered, "Two neuroses." But he still couldn't hold back and laughed, shaking his head helplessly.
"Going to make money again today?" Lu Ke only began to be curious at this time.
"It's not. Today is under armour's business. Lech didn't sell it either, but as soon as the topic changed, he brought up other things, "How are Vance and Jack getting along lately?" ”
Vance Jacobs, Nike's U.S. West Coast marketing manager, took the initiative to get acquainted with Lu Zhengze and became their friend in order to get close to Lu Ke.
"I didn't ask in detail, but as far as I know, it seems like they went golf once, and then my parents visited Vance's house once. So...... They're still friends, I guess. Lu Ke said uncertainly, he believed that parents should know how to deal with such a thing. What, Nike is moving again? ”
"Not yet, but I guess it's a matter of time." Lech said simply, "Now, the industry has started to move more frequently. Because the regular season is officially over, things are starting to get clear, and now you don't have to wait until the playoffs or the Super Bowl for something to start working; Otherwise, when the Super Bowl championship is released, and then start the layout, you will fall behind. ”
"I'm talking about you. You've been strong enough and tough enough this year, and the market response has far exceeded expectations, making you the biggest bun in the league, and the one of a kind. As he spoke, Lech chuckled, and with a smug look in his eyes, as if he were boasting about his insight, and now it had finally paid off.
Such an old child's expression made Lu Ke a little helpless, but he didn't deny or interrupt.
"You should know, right? The alliance officially changed sponsors at the beginning of this year, to be precise, at the beginning of 2012, and now the alliance's official sponsorship rights are still not completely monopolized, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce, Adidas hopes to shake Nike's strong dominance in North America, and Under Armour also hopes to win more development space in the professional field, Puma has more ambitions after making a lot of progress in the fashion field. ”
"Now, they need to further tap into the market potential of the best players in the league, with rookies such as Andrew Lacker, Russell Wilson and Radish Griffin III all sought-after cash cows, and their market value is not as good as a Luke Skywalker."
Lech quipped, then raised his chin meaningfully, "Recently, Puma and Adidas have been actively testing my tone and attitude, and the next one should be Nike." Under Armour couldn't have heard anything unheard, so they had to do something now. This is the market economy, where there is competition, there will inevitably be improvement. ”
