Michael Jordan has been very happy these days. Originally, the team's performance this year was better than last year. He once again had great hope of winning the championship and was in a very good mood.
Who would have thought that the pie in the sky would actually land a big endorsement contract worth 10 million US dollars for three years. You must know that since you have made the effort, your salary has increased a bit this year even though you had good results last year due to the previous three consecutive championships.
But unlike him when he won three consecutive championships, he is starting over in many aspects, so there are some stars whose salaries and endorsement fees are higher than his, which makes him very unhappy after winning three consecutive championships and creating a dynasty.
So when a person said that he could win the championship this year and win three consecutive championships again to create a dynasty, he agreed without hesitation to endorse a product that he had never heard of.
Today is the game between the Chicago Bulls and Orlando Magic. Although it is not the finals, everyone is still very positive and nervous. Because they lost to this team last year and lost the qualification to win the championship. Therefore, the team members came to the arena very early before the game to prepare.
"Boss Michael, what are these?" Pippen, who had changed his clothes and was about to do warm-up exercises, saw Jordan coming in with a lot of boxes and ran over to help.
Although the Chicago Bulls now have three giants, Jordan is undoubtedly the absolute boss of the giants. Usually the rookies help carry the luggage bags, and partners like Pippen also look up to Jordan as the boss.
"MP3 is an electronic product that I am endorsing. This is a gift from the store. There are 20 units in total. You can sort them out. There are instructions in it so you can use it yourself. I don't know what you like about the songs in it. So I downloaded it. They are all the same things as me. If you want to listen to others, you can use the computer to download it again. There are instructions in it to learn by yourself." Jordan said very generously.
It is said that a scholar will die for his confidant. Although Jordan has never heard this sentence, his relationship with Dongxu Technology has not reached any level. But this electronics company boss struck a chord with Jordan, and he was very nice to talk to. The price of the endorsement contract is also sufficient, and he is a good person. Not only did he give him and his family MP3 players, but he also gave him 20 units to give to his teammates.
You must know that 800 US dollars is definitely a good gift in today's price. Most friends don't give such expensive gifts for their birthdays. So Jordan felt that this manufacturer was really too popular, so he looked at his younger brother who started to open the gifts excitedly and said: "I think it is useful and I will recommend it to your friends, but if you want to buy it, you have to go to Manhattan. If you want to buy it elsewhere, It’ll take a while.”
"It's necessary, boss, what you like must be good." The younger brothers expressed their loyalty loudly.
Regardless of whether the things are good or not, what the boss ordered must be done well. Anyway, this little thing is not very expensive, just think of it as helping the boss keep up his face.
But this was just their initial thought. When they opened the box and saw the beautiful MP3 inside, they began to familiarize themselves with some of the functions of the MP3 according to the instructions. They felt that this product was so cool, and they would definitely look good after taking it out. .
"Okay, okay, stop messing around. Change your clothes and warm up quickly. Today is a tough battle. You must work together to kill them." Jordan felt even more happy when he saw the surprises of his subordinates after opening the gifts.
...
After staying in Manhattan for another week, although sales were booming on the first day, the performance in the next two or three days was mediocre, with not even 10 units sold a day. The situation gradually improved on the fifth day, but Yang Dongxu was not worried at all.
So when word of mouth began to spread slowly after seeing the advertisement, and the number of registered users of Yiting Music exceeded 20,000 in just one week, he knew that the matter was basically stable, so he flew directly from New York to North Carolina.
Just like using MP3 to cultivate loyal and high-intention customers of Yiting Music website, registered users of Yiting Music are also potential customers of MP3.
Because there are no similar products on the market now, computers have big-ass monitors, and laptops are synonymous with expensiveness.
Therefore, MP3 is the first choice for those who want to conveniently download their favorite songs from the Yiting Music website for easy listening. Therefore, before taking the plane, he told Ye Rongrong to stock up in large quantities and then took off in style.
Although North Carolina is called North Carolina, its geographical location cannot be understood literally. Because it is actually a little farther south of the United States than New York.
After getting off the plane, he carried two large suitcases and got into a taxi. Yang Dongxu chatted casually with the black driver and looked at the scenery on both sides of the highway.
When he was in Manhattan, he didn't feel anything. But as soon as he got out of Manhattan and sat in a taxi, he felt that the United States was really big.
This bigness does not mean the territorial area, but the territorial area of China is slightly larger than that of the United States. The big feeling is because there are few people.
In China, when you leave the city, in addition to vast fields, you can also see villages. But it's different in the United States. Everywhere you look is a wilderness, and it's normal to not see a single house for dozens of miles. With fewer people, it naturally feels more empty.
After working in a taxi for several hours, he paid the fare and gave a tip of US$5. Yang Dongxu complained in his mind about this tipping rule. No wonder in later generations in China, pennies, dimes or even fifty-cent coins are not commonly used. when.
They still use cent coins here. He guessed it was related to the tipping rule. For example, if you sell something for $98 and give a note with a face value of $100, there will be no change. $2 is automatically considered a tip.
It will definitely feel distressing if you meet someone who is stingy, so at this time, small-denomination cent coins come in handy. You can give them change directly and then give them a few steel coins, and everything will be perfectly solved.
Durham is a county town on the east coast of North Carolina and one of the university towns on the east coast of North Carolina. Duke University, ranked eighth in the world, is located here.
When Wu Xue first heard about Duke University when he was studying abroad, Yang Dongxu’s first reaction was that it was the pheasant university that later generations of international students paid money to attend. Because he has never heard of it.
After all, in his impression, Harvard, Macheng Institute of Technology or Yale University are the most prestigious universities. Even Stanford has been heard of. What the hell is Duke University?
Naturally, he was slapped in the face. He is not a ghost, he is really awesome. So in choosing this school to allow domestic students to study abroad, the country has really put its best efforts into doing so. It's not like you just pick a school and go back as a Turtle.
Dragging two large suitcases, although many foreigners looked at him along the way because of his Asian appearance, his childish look made him look like a student in the school, so many people looked at him and didn't take him seriously. . After all, there have been a lot of Asian students studying at Duke University in the past two years. It is already mid-August and school is about to start. It is normal for Asian students to show up with suitcases.
American college students have a very long vacation, especially the summer vacation which lasts for three full months from the end of May to the end of August. Coupled with various weekends, winter holidays, Thanksgiving and other things, school time is far less than vacation time.
Wu Xue has been studying abroad for three years. Except for applying to go home once in the first year, she has not gone back in the past two years. One is that it is really inconvenient to go back and forth, and the second is that Wu Xue wants to use her vacation to learn more and work part-time to make some money.
So in the past few years, except for phone calls, the two of them have not seen each other again. But fortunately, Zhou Ya came to see her from time to time when she was on a business trip in the United States, which made Yang Dongxu less worried. Otherwise, he would be really worried about a girl traveling across the ocean to study abroad.
Instead of going to school, although American universities have dormitories, most people choose to live outside. Either they live together with classmates, or they live with families nearby.
Unlike in China where it is inconvenient to rent out a house when a family lives together, many people here in the United States like to rent out spare rooms in a house to earn some rent.
And if students can meet a good landlord, not only will they not feel lonely here, but they can also feel the warmth of home. Of course, everyone must be busy with their own things most of the time. The family atmosphere here in the United States is fine when the children are young, but basically becomes more deserted when they grow up.
Along the way, he asked passers-by for the address of Wu Xue's family. Before he reached the place where Wu Xue lived, he saw a group of men and women who looked like students walking across the street.
"Wu Xue!" Yang Dongxu, a girl with a voluptuous forehead who looked particularly youthful and lively, shouted when she saw a few people wearing sun hats and ponytails.
It is said that if Zhou Ya hadn't come to see Wu Xue occasionally, she would have brought some photos back to Yanjing to give to Wu Xue's parents. Yang Dongxu also took a look occasionally. He really couldn't help but come out to see this slim and innocent girl opposite. , the little brat who used to run around behind him all day long, calling Asahi-san to wait a moment.
Now Wu Xue's height is at least around 175cm, which is much higher than when she first studied abroad. The oval face has a hint of coquettishness, which makes her big eyes with long eyelashes even more adorable.
But this kind of cuteness is not the kind of kawaii cuteness. After all, with her long legs and well-defined figure, she looks like a goddess-level existence at first glance, not a silly and cute type.
"Yeah!" Hearing someone calling him in Mandarin, Wu Xue followed the voice and looked over. When he saw Yang Dongxu, he was stunned for a moment, and then the daze turned into disbelief. Finally, he shouted with surprise and rushed over, " Brother Xuzi is really you, I am not dreaming."
Wu Xue hugged Yang Dongxu's neck and jumped up and down excitedly, like a little sparrow who never knew how to express her joy.
"I'm not dreaming. If you don't believe me, pinch yourself and see if it hurts." Yang Dongxu had a suitcase in each hand and a doting smile on his face.
To be honest, because he went to Yanjing when he was young, his parents did not agree to let his younger sister study in Yanjing with him. He really raised this girl Wu Xue as his younger sister Dandan. Therefore, the relationship between the two people is much deeper than that of Pang Dun.
"No, you think I'm stupid?" Wu Xue glared at Yang Dongxu angrily.
"Okay, okay, let go first. You are covered in sweat on a hot day, and your classmates are still watching." Yang Dongxu was holding the suitcase in both hands and could not push Wu Xue away.
Thinking of his classmate Wu Xue, she let go of Yang Dongxu's neck, but she didn't let go of her left arm holding him as if she was surprised that he suddenly disappeared.
