Chapter 208 Do you want a wife or not? (Please subscribe!)
Before Lao Xiang and Lao Zhao even called, they started to argue.
Amidst the noise, there was also an intensifying attitude.
I heard that the last time Lao Xiang called his son was because he was involved with a group of foreign stars. Lao Zhao pointed at Lao Xiang’s nose and cursed:
“I was so early. Just say, you can’t let this little brat go abroad. You were so crazy when you sent him out. Why did you go out to see and gain experience? Look at the mess of people your son has met outside now!”
"Hey, you have the nerve to talk to me." Lao Xiang hesitated.
If such a promising son doesn’t bring you a gift every year, you will never feel happy to receive it.
I still show off in front of my relatives during festivals and festivals.
Why are you embarrassed to say that to me?
Lao Xiang refused, so he decided to say a few good words for his son, because he knew that nagging the old woman would cost more than a few hundred dollars.
"I asked the new young people in our unit, and they all said that those newspapers were nonsense. The celebrities who were photographed with your son were all big names."
"Big names? How big are they?"
“It’s bigger than the guys in that old movie you like.”
“Oh, you guys are going to put money on your face.”
“Hey, I always need this to make myself look good!”
Lao Xiang was dismissive of Lao Zhao's words. This was something he finally found out, so when he said this, his tone was a bit cynical and a bit showy, "Just the crappy brand you like that sells expensive stuff. What's the name of D? The spokesperson you hired was the one who took a photo with your son. "What brand is D?" Old Zhao frowned.
After thinking for a long time, she remembered that it was the bag that the director of their department often carried on his arm.
Call Dior.
She thought it looked pretty, so she asked her son for one once. Later, her son brought one back to her every time he returned to China.
"Don't worry about this. I'll go to our unit tomorrow to ask. Maybe it's the media who wrote it up again." Lao Xiang thought about it for a while. He couldn't keep being fooled, just in case it was a misunderstanding again.
"Hey, Lao Xiang, luckily Yangyang's brain didn't follow you." Lao Zhao rolled his eyes speechlessly at Lao Xiang, who was standing with his hands on his hips, and scolded: "That was all on TV. Can there be a lie?”
“Uh,” Lao Xiang thought about it.
While the two were talking, the phone on the coffee table rang.
Looking at Liu Qianqian who was eavesdropping in her arms, Xiang Yang’s voice sounded sarcastic, “Mom, it’s me, Yang Yang.”
"You little white-eyed wolf is quite good at pinching." Lao Xiang's voice rang from the phone.
"Ah, dad, it's you."
Xiang Yang was stunned and said quickly. A hint of teasing flashed across Liu Qianqian's face in the corner of his eye, but immediately, the arrogant little girl I can't laugh anymore.
Lao Xiang on the phone went straight to the point: "What's going on between you and that female star?"
When Liu Qianqian heard her boyfriend's father speak so irritably, she immediately held her breath and sipped her lips. Her lips and eyes were timid.
Xiang Yang took a deep breath and said "Oh", patted her back, and smiled awkwardly on the phone: "Didn't I tell you last time that I have a girlfriend, but you didn't believe it."
“Hey, you’re still blaming it on me, right?”
“No dad, let me tell you something serious. Sissi and I are going to take time out to see you during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let’s wait.”
Xiang Yang calculated that the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2009 was October 3rd, which coincided with the festival and the fashion week was coming to an end. Liu Qianqian also has to return to China to attend a series of activities. During this time, there are still days that are just right.
Mid-Autumn Festival, the day of reunion.
The ancients regarded the full moon as a symbol of reunion, so August 15th was also called the "Reunion Festival".
The ‘Winter Solstice’ among the twenty-four solar terms cannot match the artistic conception of reunion of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Your mother and I were talking about this." Lao Xiang frowned when he heard this. He was still organizing his words when his arm was patted by Lao Zhao on the side. He didn't even think about it. Quickly put the phone next to your ear.
“Yangyang”
“Mom”
After a moment, the phone was hung up, and Liu Qianqian's beautiful eyes suddenly stopped on Xiang Yang's face. She puffed up her cheeks and looked at Xiang Yang, not knowing what to say.
"Don't worry, the ugly daughter-in-law will meet her parents-in-law sooner or later." Xiang Yang comforted her.
"I'm not ugly"
Hearing this, Liu Qianqian's angry eyes curled up and she laughed out loud, but the worries in her heart did not let go. She stammered and asked:
“Then what if my uncle and aunt listen to the nonsense about me on the Internet?”
"That's it." Xiang Yang smiled slightly, thinking that she was worried about this, so he raised his hand and put her head to his lips, and murmured in a low voice.
"Xiang Yang! You bastard!" A wave of shame and anger instantly spread across Liu Qianqian's cheeks.
At first she was still guessing what Xiang Yang would say, but immediately.
She didn’t know what to say. Looking at Xiang Yang’s evil smile, Liu Qianqian grabbed it angrily. He caught the other person's ears, "Say what you just said louder and let me hear it!"
"Daughter-in-law, it hurts! It hurts! Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!"
Downstairs, Liu Xiaoli listened to the two of them in the room, Xiang Yang screaming, and shook her head helplessly.
But for some reason, a smile suddenly broke out on her face.
At least my daughter had some of her own style in dealing with this boy's neatness
The next day, as soon as Lao Xiang arrived at work, he went to the household registration hall and met with his colleagues After saying a few words, I turned on the computer. After some searching, my heart dropped in my throat.
Star?
My son has found a star!
To be honest, he was unwilling in his heart.
Celebrities have a glamorous side, but they also have bad deeds.
Although they are not very good at surfing the Internet, people of this generation have their own cognitive channels for knowing ‘stars’, and they also have their own favorite movies and screen characters.
People of Lao Xiang's age often watch films directed by Xie. If you want to ask who Lao Xiang envies the most, it must be Xu Lingjun played by Zhu Shimao with thick eyebrows and big eyes in "The Wrangler".
The one I miss most is naturally Li Xiuzhi, played by Cong Shan.
“Can you find me a place to eat? I can work.”
“Is it okay if I find you another home?”
“ Lao Xu, if you want a wife or not! If you want a wife, just ask for it and I will bring it to you later”
Looking at Liu Qianqian's message on the screen, I always smacked my lips. Not to mention, this little girl still looks a lot like Li Xiuzhi in the movie back then.
It’s a pity that Guo Kouzi didn’t let me open this Chrysostom.
When he thought of the classic moments in this movie, the corners of Lao Xiang's mouth slightly raised, and then he suddenly froze
Xiang Yang was also stunned.
After the weekend rest, he had no energy to take care of the troublesome things in the country. As usual, he came to Fubao Avenue and before he finished his work in the morning, he welcomed a special guest.
"Well, can rich people still give money to others like this?"
When meeting Ron Gurley, Xiangyang raised his eyebrows when he saw the cooperation plan sent by the other party, "It turns out that the West When people flatter their bosses, they are much more direct than in the East.”
Ron Gurley has just succeeded Peter Kenyon as the CEO of Chelsea.
He came to Paris just to flatter him.
Of course, it’s not flattering Xiangyang, but flattering Abu.
His previous CEO, Peter Kenyon, had a considerable background. He had worked for Umbro and as the CEO of Manchester United. After coming to Chelsea in 2003, he brought this unknown club to the wealthy level.
How influential is Abu’s huge investment?
A simple description is that he ushered in the "Golden Yuan Era" of world football. Coupled with the "most special one", he created an iron army lineup that stirred up the Premier League football and made the whole of Europe and the whole The world recognized Chelsea, a little-known club.
During this period, Peter Kenyon, who was in charge of Chelsea's commercial development, also made great contributions to the club's influence at the commercial level.
How can we do better than the previous one?
Ron Gurley, who was under tremendous pressure, first thought about how to secure the seat in front of him first.
How to secure the position of CEO of Chelsea Club and earn a large amount of income every year?
Of course I’m flattering the boss.
It’s just that how to shoot this flattery requires technique and technique.
Xiang Yang is one of the ‘tool men’ he selected.
He and his team analyzed everything that happened in the box that day. No discerning person is a fool. What does it mean to be able to throw the cigar aside and chat and laugh with Xiang Yang while smoking cheap cigarettes?
He was always by his side, and following Abu for several years made him understand better than anyone else.
It goes without saying that you like and appreciate someone, because that seems too superficial. It is the subtle details that need special attention when you are with someone in power.
If the two of them hadn't been smoking together and just laughing and talking about football, Ron Gurley wouldn't have thought this way.
This is the 'technique' that must be mastered before flattering people. Observing words and emotions is only the most superficial level.
As for the 'skill' of flattery, this one is even more profound.
Take his cooperation with Xiang Yang as an example, giving money to Xiang Yang for free? That is an extremely stupid thing. Abu will not like it and Xiangyang will not accept it. It will only make him look quite stupid.
But it’s different if I ask you to design a special edition of China’s jersey.
The main sources of income for every football club are broadcast fees, sponsorship and advertising income, match day income, transfer fees and match bonuses.
In addition, they also try to diversify the club's business practices as much as possible.
Invest in real estate and open shops, restaurants and other businesses around the home stadium to earn extra income. You can also sell player peripherals, official jerseys, etc. online.
How much money can you make selling jerseys?
According to statistics, the team's jersey sales revenue can account for one-third or more of the overall commercial revenue.
Some internationally renowned teams such as Manchester United and Arsenal have jersey sales revenue as high as hundreds of millions of yuan. This unit is not a soft currency
So every wealthy club is very Pay attention to jersey sales during the season.
They try to use multi-channel sales methods to better meet the needs of fans and increase sales. They will also launch new jersey designs as much as possible, including limited edition, special edition and commemorative jerseys, to attract fans to buy.
As for why not just rely on jersey sponsors to do this?
Because the jersey sponsor is black!
How much does a jersey costing 50 pounds give to the club if it is sold through the sponsor's store?
£3!
Only a measly £3! Only 6% of the total price.
Don’t be too little, because the rest of the money is divided among various aspects such as design, production, taxation and sales. Giving you 3 pounds is not bad.
But how much does a jersey cost? The average is only £4.79
To put it bluntly, the share of a jersey that the club receives from sponsors is not enough for them to buy a jersey at cost.
“Xiang, you know that we have a sponsorship agreement with Nike, so we hope you can help us design a special edition jersey and then sell it in China first. This can be regarded as a thank you to the Chinese fans for their support of the team. .
If the effect is good."
"Good! We agreed! "Little John didn't wait for Xiangyang to express his stance, he stood up and directly extended a hand of friendship, "Thank you for trusting and choosing us T.J. We are professional in jersey design. ”
Ron Gurley looked at Xiang Yang in surprise, and then at Little John.
Xiang Yang, who hadn’t even read the contract, was also confused by Little John’s sudden move. Somewhat confused.
He blinked at Little John blankly, "Why don't you go to China? ! ”
"I'll go after Liu's birthday."
The official handover of Chelsea Club CEOs was in mid-September 2009, which is a little early, sorry for that.
