In the dead of night, the moonlight is like water, and no one seems to be caught in the quiet Port of Seattle. The sea water laps the hull of the ship lightly and gently, making a gentle sound of waves, like a lullaby hummed by a mother, making people fall asleep slowly, and the whole world Wander in the gentle breeze.
"Ding-a-ling, jingle-a-ling."
A crisp phone call broke the tranquility, surging among the waves. It was not abrupt, but I suddenly realized that there were actually people at the port.
The ringing of the phone was cut off, and it was quiet for a moment, and then a bright yellow light brightened up. Before I could think about it carefully, the halo around the light expanded and spread, and the lights lit up one after another. , and then that small area became brightly lit.
It turned out to be a private yacht.
"Come out, come out, everyone come out!" A loud voice resounded throughout the yacht, shouting continuously, "The surprise event is cancelled, cancelled. Everyone can come out! Inform everyone in the cabin downstairs and on the deck outside. People, the event is cancelled, everyone, please come out and stop hiding.”
"what happened?"
"what happened?"
"What accident happened?"
"Can anyone explain?"
"The end? What is the end?"
The chatter became louder and louder, and the originally empty yacht was bustling with twenty or thirty people in costumes. The men and women were very lively, but all the faces were full of confusion and dissatisfaction. We couldn’t find an answer even after asking and discussing with each other.
"Charles! What's going on? Could it be that there was an accident at Bambi?" Tony Romo is a hospitable person with a slightly impatient temper. After all, he couldn't hold it back and rushed over to the yacht. The person in charge above asked, looking a little anxious.
Charles-Haus could feel that all eyes were directed towards him. He could only signal for everyone to quiet down for a moment, and then explained in a loud voice, "I don't know the specific situation. The call just now was from England." Ms. Indra’s first secretary, he just said that Ms. Indra and Lu Ke decided to take a private plane back to San Francisco, and the welcome party on the yacht was cancelled, so... we can disband.”
"What?"
"that's all?"
"Disband?"
The scene was bustling with discussion again, and it seemed that they still refused to believe such a result. They were not angry, but more puzzled. They were full of questions that could not be answered, but even if they wanted to do something, they didn’t know where to start. Then He fell into a state of confusion.
Tony Romo glanced at JJ Watt who was walking towards him, showed a wry smile, and then patted Watt on the chest, "You expected this?"
Compared to the surprise and surprise of others, Watt seemed very calm, with a relaxed smile on his face, "No, how could I have expected it. I can only say that I am not surprised. This is very much his choice. "
Even Charles also cast his gaze, his face full of curiosity.
"You mean, Bambi rejected Ms. Indra's yacht party proposal? But... why?" Romo seemed unable to understand, and became even more confused. Needless to say, who could say no to the CEO of PepsiCo? Even if you don't sign with Pepsi, there's no need to say no to the yacht party, right?
Watt shrugged, "I don't know either." Looking at Romo's questioning look, he couldn't help but wave his hands to emphasize his innocence, "I'm serious, how could I know, Bambi's thoughts are really...elusive. "
Romo also nodded in agreement.
But Charles couldn't understand, "Why?"
"I just think it's not surprising that Bambi chose this way. It fits his style very well, doesn't it?" Watt just reasoned back from the results. "You see, everyone feels that Indra's invitation cannot be refused. Indra arranged a welcome party in advance on a private yacht, but Bambi refused, disrupting Indra's plan. I think this is very Bambi."
Romo thought about it seriously and smiled helplessly, "I have no way to refute."
Charles became more and more confused, "You mean, Bambi, er, Lu Ke did it on purpose?"
"No, no, no." Watt waved his hands repeatedly. He didn't want Lu Ke to offend Pepsi. "I mean, Bambi's choices are always surprising, just like his performance on the court, his way of thinking. And brain circuitry, different from most of us, and that makes him so special, doesn't it?"
Charles nodded in agreement.
Watt secretly wiped his sweat inwardly and exchanged a glance with Romo: He almost tricked Lu Ke.
"So, what you are saying is that Lu Ke is not angry, or is angry or something, and everything is fine?" Charles was still a little worried.
Romo interjected and asked, "Does he need to be angry?"
One sentence silenced Charles, and he did not continue to ask any more questions.
Romo gave Watt a "reassuring" look, and then continued, "To be honest, Bambi's choice is indeed...unpredictable, but Indra should not be underestimated. Who do you think will be the winner when they collide?" win?"
"Haha, they are not fighting, there is no need to decide the winner, but cooperation, cooperation! So I guess, no matter what the result, Bambi is the winner?" Watt raised his voice, a little unsure.
Romo laughed heartily and nodded in agreement, "This is why Bambi can get Pepsi sponsorship, and we are just inviting guests."
It was clearly noticeable that Charles's expression relaxed, and Romo and Watt exchanged glances again: they had tried their best, and the rest was up to Lu Ke himself.
Tonight, in order to persuade Lu Ke to sign a cooperation, Pepsi-Cola arranged a surprise party on a private yacht in advance. It not only invited several "Victoria's Secret" models to sit there in case Lu Ke brought Candice to attend; it also invited Luo Ke to attend. Mo and Watt hope to make Lu Ke feel close and familiar; in addition, the guest lineup also includes Silicon Valley technology upstarts, Wall Street financiers, Hollywood second-tier actors, etc., all of which show Pepsi's "sincerity"——
While ensuring that the guest lineup is of high quality, it can combine Lu Ke with Pepsi-Cola, and at the same time avoid exerting too much force to make Lu Ke feel uncomfortable. This is the real highest treatment.
To be precise, this is a "trap", a trap of happiness and gentleness. I hope that in one fell swoop, Lu Ke can nod and agree to the Pepsi-Cola cooperation agreement.
Indra had made arrangements on the private yacht early, and was just waiting for Lu Ke to appear. Unexpectedly, the male protagonist's immediate absence disrupted the plan, and all the advance arrangements were in vain. Indra and Lu Ke were Back on the same starting line, now Indra cannot rely on external forces if she wants to convince Lu Ke.
However, the impact should be limited. This only disrupted Indra's original plan, but it could not disrupt Indra's thoughts. Indra was the real key to convincing Lu Ke.
…
Lu Ke swore that he really didn't know that the yacht party was an "ambush." He can guess that the yacht party is also a celebration party, and then he can make more friends with the upper class and open his eyes. Then Indra makes full use of the opportunity to persuade Lu Ke to sign a contract with Pepsi; but he does not think this is a good idea. idea, he still hopes to return to Candlestick Stadium with his teammates and celebrate with the nine people.
In this regard, Laihe has a supportive attitude - at least a neutral attitude. Otherwise, Laihe will inform Lu Ke in advance, at least there will be some hints.
Since Laihe didn't say much, it meant that he didn't mind Lu Ke rejecting Indra.
Few people will refuse Indra, and few people can refuse Indra, but it does not mean that no one will not do so. More importantly, it doesn't hurt even if you do this, because the person being discussed now is Lu Ke——
Compared with the improvement of Lu Ke's status and commercial value in the industry, the most important thing is Lu Ke's expression and attitude, which show the player's leadership and personality charm from the inside out. Not only is there no offense, but also It also made Indra feel humorous, humble and courteous. This small move gave Indra a more vivid and vivid understanding of Lu Ke's personality and image. , but turned into an opportunity for Indra to further cooperate.
Now Indra can vaguely understand the reason why the San Francisco 49ers are truly reborn. This locker room leader is giving the entire team a different vitality in his own style. Even at the peak of his career, he still maintains a clear and calm mind. , and stand with the fans all the time, which is definitely not something ordinary people can do; at the same time, Indra can also vaguely understand the reason why Lech refused Pepsi last year. Lu Ke is indeed not just a professional player. .
Of course, this is not to say that the superstars Pepsi is cooperating with are "casual", but because the player Lu Ke's sharp edges and personality are too distinct, and he is submerged in Pepsi's superstar lineup, and he is unable to play his true role. It is a loss to Lu Ke and Pepsi-Cola——
After all, the purpose of Pepsi-Cola signing a superstar is to boost sales, and if there is no way to make full use of the superstar's aura in exchange for more benefits, there is no need for them to spend so much money, right?
Within a short period of time, the thoughts in Indra's mind began to surge, and more ideas and strategies were conceived in an instant, which further strengthened Indra's idea of signing Lu Ke before Coca-Cola. Compared with market value, the value of brand culture and image is more attractive.
Indra began to look forward to the conversation that would follow in the air.
Similarly, Lu Ke was also looking forward to it, because this was the first time he had ever taken a private jet. In the past, he could only see it in 007 movies, or it was rumored to be exclusive to rich people, but now he could actually do it in person. Experience? Lu Ke could not restrain his anticipation.
