The latest website: The scent of coffee is permeating in the meeting room. The golden sunlight penetrates the glass windows and fills the whole space, as if you are traveling above the clouds. The towering buildings give human beings the illusion of controlling the world.

No wonder everyone loves tall buildings, and who could resist overlooking New York?

"...After signing Yao, the entire basketball market in Houston ushered in an explosive reaction. Not only the sales of basketball jerseys, but their market share in China also showed a soaring momentum..."

"...so much so that nba teams have started to sign Chinese players one after another, from Wang to Ba, and then to Yi, Sun, and Zhou. Back then, the NBA held a special national live broadcast for Yi, really because his strength has reached the entire field Is the top of the pyramid? The answer is obvious..."

"It's not just us? Look at the five major European football leagues..."

In the meeting room, Tobias was making an impassioned presentation, and there were six people sitting neatly in front of him, all listening intently.

From this point, it can be felt that at least Adidas has given enough attention.

"...In competitive sports, strength is undoubtedly the most important link; but when considering the prospects of the commercial market, strength is not the only link, especially for the Asian market, where identity and emotional resonance play an important role, even if strength It doesn't matter if it's relatively inferior..."

"Li Na and Kei Nishikori are the best representatives."

"However, I believe that Gao can have both the market and the field. When signing Gao, what he signs is the market prospect, and more importantly, the tennis prospect is signed."

After a short pause, Tobias looked confidently at the people in the meeting room.

"Do you know who is the first Chinese men's player to win the championship trophy in tennis history?"

Those present here are high-level executives from the marketing department, publicity department, and tennis player department of Adidas, but they are not really professional tennis players. Naturally, they don't know much about these historical records.

Looking at each other, no one could answer, but there was a little curiosity in the eyes, as if attracted by Tobias' question.

The corners of Tobias' mouth curled up.

"It's high."

Swish, swish, there was something unexpected in the conference room.

A middle-aged, potbellied man asked very, very surprised, "Are you sure? You mean all levels of the pro circuit?"

Tobias nodded slightly in agreement.

"Actually, I didn't realize this before yesterday. It wasn't until after Gao won the Challenge Championship for the second week in a row that I inquired curiously, and found out that in all ATP professional tours, Gao He is the first and so far the only Chinese male player to win the championship."

According to the historical trajectory, the first championship title of a Chinese male player in all levels of the ATP Professional Tour was not won by Wu Di until the 2016 Hawaii Challenge.

Then, at the San Francisco Challenge the following year, Zhang Ze reached the top and won the championship. This was the first championship in his career and the second championship for a Chinese male player.

Now, Gao Wen's sudden appearance rewrote history, advancing the first Chinese male player's championship time by two full years; moreover, Wu Di was born in 1991, and was already twenty-five years old when he reached the summit in Hawaii. Gao Wen was only eighteen years old, and a bright future was unfolding before his eyes.

However, after Gao Wen reached the top of the Binghamton Challenge, he was simply happy because he won the championship. There was no time to celebrate at all, and he didn't think of such a feat as "making history" for a while.

Then he rushed to Lexington non-stop, and then went to Aptos without touching the ground. The busy game schedule made him need to maintain a high degree of concentration, unaware that he was writing history.

Gawain didn't say anything, but Tobias didn't think about it.

It wasn't until Gao Wen reached the top of Lexington for the second week in a row, and Tobias failed to open up the situation in the sponsorship negotiations, so he wanted to increase his bargaining chip and took the initiative to investigate. Only then did he realize that Gao Wen The significance to China Tennis is actually beyond imagination.

Tobias is full of confidence in today's meeting.

"Moreover, Gao not only won the first challenge championship for Huaxia men's players, but also won the second in a row."

"Believe me, Gao can become the second Yao. Houston had the courage to choose Yao as the No. 1 pick. Nike missed him because of its arrogance. Instead, Reebok won Yao's sponsorship contract. Now Adidas will not want to repeat the same mistakes. of."

Simple and clear, to the point.

One thing Tobias always emphasizes is:

The cake in the Chinese market is there, and professional football and basketball teams have also signed many Chinese players out of market considerations—even if the strength is lower than expected, it doesn't matter, because the market value is there.

And Gao Wen not only has market value, but also has outstanding strength and great potential. Adidas has no reason to miss Gao Wen. Even if Gao Wen only has two challenge champions, it is enough.

Tobias trusts adidas to make the right judgment.

In the conference room, the high-level executives did not give an answer immediately, but exchanged pleasantries, and the lively atmosphere of smiling faces and chatting and laughing was really harmonious.

But Tobias was slightly anxious.

As an excellent agent, Tobias has his own unique way of interpreting attitude, tone, expression, and atmosphere. He can detect the tricks behind the circle of words.

If Adidas needs to discuss and consider, that's perfectly normal, and Tobias didn't expect a meeting to finalize everything.

But the attitude of the high-level executives in front of them is more than noisy and not sincere enough. Although they have been actively asking about Gao Wen's situation and caring about Gao Wen's plan for the next North American season, they seem to show strong concern. However, the seemingly lively scene is actually It's all scene talk going around.

That said, they weren't interested, at least not impressed by Tobias.

But ~lightnovelpub.net~ why?

Tobias didn't understand.

Today Tobias's announcement has already hit the nail on the head and grasped the key points, especially the impact brought by the two Challenger League champions is enough, enough to be comparable to the scouting report of the NBA's inspection of Yao/Ming back then. Given the lessons learned from the Nike-Yao Ming contract incident, shouldn't Adidas be eager to seize the opportunity?

What are they thinking?

Could it be that his head was caught by the door?

Thoughts were churning in my mind, but on the surface, I still needed to make excuses with these high-level officials, at least not tearing my face apart. It was not until I left the meeting room and went to the elevator that there was a trace of seriousness in my eyes——

Or is there a mistake in your own strategy?

As a top agent, Tobias needs to reflect on himself all the time to avoid arrogance ruining his work, he needs to re-examine himself.
