Chapter 161 Valuation

"Xiaotian, look, it's a lot to spend money to help others this time. 20,000 US dollars is equivalent to 160,000 yuan. It's hard for ordinary families to take out so much money at once! As the saying goes, money is not omnipotent, but it's absolutely impossible to have no money. Nowadays, this society is a material society, and without money, it's hard to move forward. The bonuses you get in Germany competitions will not be much left except for the 20,000 US dollars. If you encounter something urgently needs to be solved with money next time, it's up to you to make a small amount of money.

Then you will not be able to withstand anything. And your current identity is completely different from before. Although you were famous before, you have not achieved formal results. But now you are a veritable world youth champion, and you will definitely not have few opportunities to participate in major competitions in the future. Even if you are unwilling to spend money with big money, you still have to talk about some necessary pomp, and you cannot let foreigners regard us Chinese athletes as if they are too young! So, it is better to have some money on your body..." After taking what Li Tian told me, Xu Hongtao began to take advantage of the topic.

"I know all this very well! Brother Xu, you want to persuade me to take advertisements again!" As soon as Xu Hongtao finished speaking, Li Tian immediately understood what he was saying. Since taking two public service advertisements from CCTV a few days ago, two short 30-second shots made him tortured for three days. Li Tian has tasted the "hardness" of advertising shooting. After that, as soon as Xu Hongtao discussed the advertisement with him, Li Tian would either change the topic or avoid talking about it and would not give Xu Hongtao any chance. On the one hand, there were a steady stream of advertisers, and on the other hand, the protagonist who refused to cooperate, which made Xu Hongtao, an agent, very distressed.

"Hehe...you can see it!" Xu Hongtao was still a little embarrassed when Li Tian discovered the motive immediately.

"Xiaotian, no matter whether you like it or not, from the moment you become a celebrity, you are destined to enter the field of advertising. In this information society, the best way to increase your popularity is advertising. Perhaps your popularity in China has reached a height that ordinary people cannot reach, but internationally, people's attention to the World Track and Field Youth Championships is still very limited. After all, the world's best players have no chance to participate. The world youth champion is far from the same influence as the World Championships and Olympic champions. In the past two years, you have to quickly enhance your influence internationally and gain your position in the international arena. Not only do you have to perform well in various high-level competitions, but you must also use cooperation with well-known domestic and foreign brands. See which world champion in China has never filmed advertisements. Didn't Liu Xiang become the spokesperson for international famous brands such as Nokia and NIKE?"

"Brother Xu, you have already confirmed the partner for me, right?" Li Tian heard that Xu Hongtao was a little anxious.

"It has not been confirmed yet. This matter will be decided after specific discussion with you. However, I have selected ten shortlists in preliminary. I think they are more in line with your conditions. If you can cooperate with them, it will definitely be a win-win situation. Of course, the final decision depends on you." In the past few days, Xu Hongtao received no less than 200 intentions to cooperate with Li Tian, ​​including Motorola and Samsung Electronics. Some famous brands with great influence in the international market. After careful comparison and analysis, he selected ten of them as candidates. With the boutique routes designed for Li Tian, ​​this year he only needs to select two to three of them to cooperate. With Li Tian's strength and the international influence of these brands, he is very confident that he will build Li Tian into a world-class star of Gatlin and Powell.

"It's so fast!" No wonder Li Tian was surprised. After all, it was only two or three days since he became famous in the World Youth Championship.

"It's no longer fast. My phone number has been blown up by these advertisers these days. Many companies are urging us to wait for our reply, but without your nod, we cannot negotiate further with these companies."

"...Okay! You can do it as you like. Brother Xu, I still believe your vision. I have a requirement, that is, I will never accept Japanese advertisements." After pondering for a while, Li Tian said helplessly. He also knew that after the World Youth Championship, some things were inevitable. This time it seemed that they would be serious, but some of their own principles still have to be adhered to.

"Why? How good is it to earn money from Japanese people to enrich their wallets, even for good deeds." There is a Japanese brand among the ten shortlists selected by Xu Hongtao, and it has a great international reputation. In addition, a quotation of RMB 12 million in two years is also the highest among these ten companies. If further bargaining, there should be room for improvement.

"I hate little Japanese! And the wool comes from the sheep. The advertising fees they give me are all earned from our China. The money they give me is a drop in the bucket compared to the value they earned with my popularity. The ones who end up losing are not the Chinese!" Li Tian's plot of Japanese hatred was still deeply influenced by his grandfather. Seeing his firm expression, Xu Hongtao didn't say anything anymore, secretly removed the Japanese brand from the shortlist, and anyway, there were some substitutes.

"Okay, after this competition, I will give you the detailed information I have prepared. As long as you agree, I will negotiate with the other party immediately. You have always been in the national youth team and have no chance to collude with you. Until now, you should not know your current value!" Finally getting Li Tian's approval, Xu Hongtao suddenly felt relaxed and felt much happier.

"My value? How much is that?" Li Tian couldn't help asking curiously.

"This number!" Xu Hongtao stretched out five fingers of his right hand and shook them in front of Li Tian.

"Five hundred thousand!" Li Tian widened his eyes in surprise. Although he never paid attention to money, the only two advertisements he had shot were all free public service advertisements, for a sixteen-year-old child, 500 thousand was already very, very much.

"Five hundred thousand? Hehe...! If you mean 500,000 euros, it's almost done... It's 5 million yuan! I heard it clearly, 5 million! You're too underestimated yourself. Now, third-rate entertainment stars are worth more than 500,000 yuan." Xu Hongtao smiled proudly.

"Five...500...I...I..." Li Tian couldn't believe what he heard. He opened his mouth hard, and his mind was suddenly in chaos, and he couldn't say a complete sentence. Five million is how much. Although Li Tian didn't have a definite concept in his mind, he knew that this was a huge wealth that many people could never earn in their entire lives. Now the living standards of his adoptive parents are already very good in the local area, but his annual income is only about 200,000 yuan. If he just shoots an advertisement, he can be as good as his parents' work for twenty-five years.

"Oh my God!... Five million!" After immersing for more than a minute, Li Tian's voice rang again.

"Surprised! Now the contract intentions I have on hand are not considered at all. Moreover, the ten candidates that have been selected for the first time are not less than five million, and the highest one has exceeded eight digits!" As if the excitement of Li Tian was not enough, Xu Hongtao released a heavy pound bomb again. This time Li Tian completely stopped talking, but just stretched out ten fingers there, ten, hundreds, thousands... to count them. He couldn't remember how much the eight digits mean. Xu Hongtao was very satisfied with the effect he had caused. You should know that it is even more rare to see Li Tian's expression of losing his composure now.

"Your current value is already sky-high in China. The only sports stars that can be compared with you are Yao Ming and Liu Xiang. As long as you shoot such an advertisement, you will be greatly developed! Even if you only shoot three advertisements a year and earn tens of millions, you will definitely be the youngest millionaire in China. By then, Brother Xu will have to follow you to enjoy the delicious food and drink the spicy food!" As long as you stay with Li Tian, ​​the calmness and rigor at Xu Hongtao's usual negotiating table will be thrown aside.

"I really didn't expect that my current value would be so exaggerated!" Li Tian's psychological quality was not for viewing. After a few minutes, he completely calmed down, which made Xu Hongtao admire him very much.

"But the feeling of being marked with price like a commodity is really unpleasant. I really don't know what it would be like for Yao Ming to be nicknamed "the highest-priced single-item export to the United States." Although he was surprised by his value, Li Tian couldn't help but mutter a few words.

"I will get used to it slowly. Value is not only the benefits obtained by athletes, but also very bluntly shows the value and influence of each star. Moreover, you are different from those products. The biggest difference is that they can only be selected by others, and you have the right to choose actively. I believe that in no time, there will be more choices automatically placed in front of you and ask for your favor." Xu Hongtao tightened Li Tian's shoulders with confidence.
