Chapter 182 Going to Osaka
Regarding Liu Xiang, in fact, before he came into contact with Liu Xiang, Yi Dun had heard a lot of rumors about Liu Xiang.
For example, there are three principles for Liu Xiang signing an endorsement. The first principle is that the endorsement manufacturer must be a big brand and a big company. The second principle is that if foreign companies compete with domestic companies, domestic companies will be given priority when the conditions for offering similar offers.
The third principle is the most important principle, which is above the first two principles.
This principle is that all advertisements about Japan are not answered.
This is a rumor from the outside world, and you can find it online. It is normal for Yi Dun to know that it is normal. In fact, when Yi Dun was considering signing a contract, he borrowed these three principles from Liu Xiang.
However, no domestic manufacturer issued a decent contract for Yi Dun, so Yi Dun finally chose Adidas.
Why did Liu Xiang establish the principle of refusing to sign all Japanese advertisements? According to Yi Dun's guess, it is likely that it was influenced by his father and coach Sun Haiping.
The older generation has a deep national hatred towards Japan.
Many young people are criticizing the magical dramas of domestic tearing up Japanese devils. In fact, to be honest, these magical dramas are not for people of their age. Those old men and women in their fifties and sixties are the firm viewers of such magical dramas.
Why do they like to watch such magical dramas that tear the Japanese with their hands? That's because they are closer to that history, have a deeper understanding of that humiliating history, and have deeper memories.
Think about it, Yi Dun and Liu Xiang are almost exactly the same. Wasn’t he influenced by his elders before refusing to endorse Japan?
In recent years, some sayings about letting go of hatred towards Japan have begun to be popular in China, which is definitely a morally degraded idea.
Japan is a real dog. When you are strong, it will definitely wag its tail and beg for mercy. When you are weak, it will immediately spread its teeth and tear off a piece of meat from you.
Let go of hatred and vigilance towards Japan, that is undoubtedly digging one's own grave.
This Osaka Grand Prix was held by the International Athletics Federation and not an elite competition held in Japan, so Liu Xiang signed up to participate.
If it was the Japanese local elite competition, Liu Xiang would definitely not go.
On May 13, more than ten top domestic track and field athletes, including Yi Dun, Liu Xiang and Shi Dongpeng, boarded a plane to Osaka, Japan.
After getting on the plane, Yi Dun sat next to Liu Xiang.
"Have you brought the band-aid?" Liu Xiang suddenly asked Yi Dun on the side.
Yi Dun was stunned. Why did you bring a bandaid? You are not going to run a marathon.
Yi Dun hasn't encountered a marathon for a long time now. The main reason is that Yi Dun is busy with training and competitions, so he has no intention of becoming a marathon bounty hunter.
The key point is that Yi Dun looked down on the bonus.
Moreover, the Olympic marathon needs to be at least 20 years old. Yi Dun is only nineteen years old now. By the time the Olympics begin, he is not twenty years old, so even if he has strong marathon strength, he will not be able to participate.
Why do you want to bring your own bandaid if you don’t run a marathon?!
"Brother Liu, what is the saying about bringing a band-aid?" Yi Dun asked curiously.
"You block the trademark on the license plate. Do you want to advertise a Japanese brand? And it's a free advertisement?" Liu Xiang said with a smile.
He and Yi Dun have known each other for a long time. When chatting on weekdays, they will definitely talk about some international events.
Yi Dun's view of Japan was almost the same as himself, so the two naturally became more and more affinity.
Now that I am going to compete in Japan, Liu Xiang can't help but remind Yi Dun.
Yi Dun suddenly remembered something that happened to Liu Xiang before.
In the past two years, the sponsor of the State Administration of Track and Field Administration is Mizuno, yes, it is a well-known sports brand in Japan.
In a domestic competition, Liu Xiang used Band-Aid to block Mizuno's trademark and refused to advertise Mizuno.
In the eyes of the National Hate Party or conspiracy theorists, this behavior can point out countless problems, but in the eyes of people like Yi Dun, Liu Xiang is doing this openly!
"Yidun, we are the only ones now, let's say something to the heart."
"I said we are now top athletes in the world. Money and social status are definitely enough. You should know this." Liu Xiang said with a smile.
Yi Dun nodded. This was right. Even if he couldn't make a dime in the next place, his family still had those 25 houses, so he could have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life.
"When we reach this point, we actually have to assume some social responsibilities. Is it okay if we endorse a Japanese brand?"
"One of our young fans in China will have an impact on them every move, so we have to be firm in some things." Liu Xiang said it was rather obscure, but Yi Dun could hear it clearly.
He had never thought about social responsibility before, and now he thought about it, it is indeed time for him to consider this issue.
"Brother Liu, I seem to have many fans, but what you said is right, I will remember it in my heart." Yi Dun laughed.
"Well, I guess you definitely didn't bring a bandaid. When you're about to get off the plane, you'll find more flight attendants, so they'll definitely have more."
"You have so many projects, so it's definitely right to have more points." Liu Xiang said with a smile.
"Okay, I guarantee that I can cover him tightly, so that I can't even leak out the hair." Yi Dun grinned.
...
The voyage of several hours passed quickly during the chat between the two.
When he was about to get off the plane, Yi Dun called the flight attendant over and wanted to get some band-aids.
Yi Dun and the others were on a domestic flight. Seeing Yi Dun calling himself over, the still single flight attendant was excited and his legs were trembling.
Yi Dun and Liu Xiang are both unmarried now. It is really a problem for them to say that they are diamond princesses.
I heard that Yi Dun wanted a Band-Aid, so the flight attendant immediately went to find a big gift, and it was estimated that there were 200 or 300 pictures.
Yi Dun was speechless. There was no way to use so many Band-Aids to use, probably enough to wrap yourself into a mummy.
After delivering the band-aid, the flight attendant looked at Yi Dun reluctantly, thinking that he wanted to talk to Yi Dun for a few more words.
"Oh, there's still a note."
“andy,138xxxxxxxxx?!”
"What is this? Mobile phone number?" Yi Dun found a note in the band-aid and couldn't help but exclaim.
Liu Xiang suddenly laughed, "You boy is lucky, but the little girl is interested in you."
Yi Dun had a black line on his head, and he clearly understood what Uncle Er said to him before.
After this person became famous or had a lot of money, he faced much more temptations.
I just took a plane and could even meet a little girl who hooked up with me.
I'm not doing anything at the moment. Wouldn't I go crazy when I win the Beijing Olympic gold medal?
Yi Dun tightened his clothes and decided to follow his second uncle's teachings, keep himself clean and keep his body as jade.
Of course, in Yi Dun's opinion, the flight attendant is not a moral problem.
