The news that Zhao Feiyang signed a contract with Red Star Sports soon spread. Before Red Star Sports officially held a press conference for him, the news had already caused an uproar.
Many fans expressed confusion about this. Whether they are foreign or domestic, they really don't understand why Zhao Feiyang chose a less well-known sports brand instead of choosing from so many brands.
"You gave up tens of millions of dollars and chose 7 million dollars in five years? Even if there are dividends, the other party's net profit is negative. What is the value of signing a contract with such a half-dead company?"
"No, I don't understand what Zhao was thinking? From a business point of view, he did a very stupid thing..."
"Quite stupid! If I were Zhao, even if I didn't choose Nike, I would still choose Adidas and Under Armor. Everyone knows that these brands are the ones that can really provide value..."
Fans in China were also confused, and many reacted very strongly.
"What is Feiyang doing? I can't understand it either! Logically speaking, he does not lack the 50 million yuan... This kind of signing is simply a free gift!"
"Is it possible that this guy went to a nightclub to have fun and was caught by the owner of Red Star Sports? If that's the case, then I can understand..."
"Holy crap! It's better to choose Mouning and Mouta! These two domestic brands are also very good, and the money they give is definitely a lot more than this..."
In response to various doubts from the outside world, Zhao Feiyang finally issued a long update in response after careful consideration.
"Thank you all for paying attention to this matter... I know that Red Star Sports did not start out as a sneaker manufacturer, but they have some good qualities that other companies do not have."
"When there was a flood in Central Plains Province, they were still able to donate 50 million to support our people even though they didn't have much profit themselves... This is commendable!"
"Making sneakers! It requires some technology, but it's not so high that a company can't reach it. If you're short of talent? Then look for it. If you're short of designers? That can be solved with money... But if you're short of conscience, Then I think this thing is not so easy to get back...This precious quality is something that some companies do not have..."
"Frankly speaking, I can sign with other brands, and I don't care if anyone can afford my sneakers. As long as I make enough money, it will be fine. As for those who can't afford it? Who cares?"
"But I don't want to do this. In this society where countless people are focused on profit, I hope that something idealistic can happen. I hope that I can take care of more people with a seemingly 'stupid' behavior. ....."
"Our country is not that rich yet. Not everyone can afford expensive sneakers, and not every family is willing to spend thousands of dollars to buy a pair of sneakers... So I hope that my cooperation with Red Star Sports can help Let more children with basketball dreams wear their favorite sneakers..."
"Sneakers are for wearing, not for putting in shoe boxes to gather dust... This is the philosophy that Red Star Sports and I hope to implement together... Of course, I will also urge Red Star Sports to Make more innovations, let them make the quality of sneakers better, the design more novel and more in line with public aesthetics, the price will never be out of reach, but affordable to everyone... .”
"Please give it some time and give a small brand in this era a chance..."
After sending these words, Zhao Feiyang also added the official account of Red Star Sports. Red Star Sports is also quite impressive. While supporting these remarks, it also produced concept drawings they had designed long ago. By the way, they also named Zhao Feiyang's first pair of basketball shoes "Transformation Generation".
"Please rest assured that we have hired European designers... Regarding team manufacturing and other process technologies, we have also spent a lot of money to hire specialized talents. We promise you that when the first pair of Transformation sneakers are released, I will never let you down..."
For a time, the fans became restless.
Although everyone doesn't believe in Red Star Sports' shoemaking technology, it has to be said that the other party is not without some strength.
If they can create new sneakers with the support of talents, assuming there are no problems with the design and high technology, then what really matters is the price and their quality.
Not to mention the price, Red Star Sports has not had any problems in terms of quality. They have always followed the people-friendly route, and the shoes can be considered affordable and durable.
As far as the willingness to donate to disaster areas is concerned, it would be difficult for a company like this to cut corners on the quality of its shoes.
Compared with some domestic brands, this does have merits.
"Support Red Star Sports! Since Zhao Feiyang is willing to do this, then I believe that Zhao Feiyang is definitely not a fool... I think we should give Red Star Sports some time to see what the sneakers they produce look like... ..”
"I also think we can support it. I won't say who some of the brands are, but you can't think of me as a fool just because I support you, right? I am willing to support domestic products, but I don't want to be cheated... Before Red Star Their shoes are still very conscientious. I hope they can maintain this conscience and make basketball shoes with real quality and strength..."
"I can't wait...I hope Red Star will launch the Transformation Generation quickly, but don't make the price too expensive! I really like Zhao Feiyang and basketball. As long as it is his sneakers, I will Buy...but I'm a student and I really can't afford the sneakers if they are too expensive..."
"I am from the Central Plains Province. When Red Star Sports donated so much money, just because of this, no matter what people from other places say, I will definitely support it... Of course, it should not be moral. Kidnapping fans from other places, but I believe Red Star Sports will not let everyone down..."
"Don't say so much, hurry up and take a look at the shoes! It feels good just looking at the design, but I don't know what the real thing is like... The shoes can't just be on the design! They are meant to be used What to wear..."
Amid the commotion of public opinion, Red Star Sports also officially held a press conference in China to formally sign the contract with Zhao Feiyang, who had just returned to China.
Interestingly, after Zhao Feiyang made those remarks, the number of people supporting Red Star Sports began to increase exponentially.
His popularity is so great, especially after winning the championship, that his personal reputation has become the highest among all Chinese athletes. Even some athletes who have won gold medals are less famous than him.
Winning the gold medal is of course very impressive, but basketball, one of the three major sports, has always been a monopoly of Europeans and Americans. As a Chinese player, he can achieve such results under such circumstances. What Zhao Feiyang did It is no less than Liu Xiang's "amazing leap" in the Athens Olympics.
This is zero breakthrough! unprecedented!
