Chapter 1 The Beginning

Chen Yingxiong did not respond to the media's doubts and ridicule about his wild words. He took Cabrilla on vacation.

This time they were invited by Taylor Swift to visit her in the United States and travel together.

Taylor's call was not to him, but to Cabrilla's cell phone. Chen Yingxiong himself didn't know when the relationship between these two women became so good.

The two of them first went to a Taylor Swift concert to support her.

Then, after Taylor Swift was done with her work, they went on a trip to Africa together.

It was just the three of them on the road, two women and one man.

For many people, Chen Yingxiong was living like an emperor, with women on both sides.

Only Chen Yingxiong knew the pain—there was a light bulb next to him, and he couldn't even get intimate with Cabrilla.

But this did not prevent the media from speculating about his relationship with Taylor Swift.

Many people even believed that Chen Yingxiong was now two-timing, and neither of the two women cared!

So depraved and debauched, successful on the court and successful off the court... Is there any justice! He has all the good things in the world!

Accompanied by two beautiful women, Chen Yingxiong traveled around the African continent, and then the three of them flew back to the United States together. In addition to sending Cabrilla back, he also had to visit Nike headquarters to discuss new cooperation plans.

The series of shoes named after him has been officially released. Chen Yingxiong also participated in the research and development of the design and production of this shoe. He provided the research and development team with a lot of experience and first-hand data, so that the research and development team could understand what a top scorer needs, and then add it to their design plan.

Therefore, every pair of "Hero 100" series shoes will have a sentence embroidered on the inside of the tongue: "Thank you, Chen Yingxiong" to express gratitude for his participation in the design, and... This is a very good image promotion method.

Chen Yingxiong will personally try on the first pair of "Hero 100" shoes at Nike headquarters, and take them to the court for a test. Of course, the whole process will be followed and filmed by cameras, which will become Nike's means of promoting new products in the future. Everyone is no stranger to this, because Nike has used it many times. The most famous is Ronaldinho wearing the new shoes they sent and then going on the court to shoot and continuously hit the goal crossbar, and the football did not land once during the whole process.

In addition to these methods for viral marketing on the Internet, Chen Yingxiong also has to participate in the filming of an advertising film.

This is just a commercial contract with Nike.

Other companies that have signed endorsement contracts with Chen Yingxiong are lining up to wait for Chen Yingxiong to participate in their various commercial activities.

So in fact, the time that truly belongs to Chen Yingxiong personally is very little.

It was already very difficult to accompany two beautiful women to Africa.

In the season that just ended, Chen Yingxiong not only achieved a bumper harvest in personal honors, but also in collective honors, and he was the biggest contributor to the collective honors, which everyone saw. His achievements in sports will inevitably lead to his economic income rising.

There are many new contracts that need to be signed by him, and many old contracts need to be adjusted, either renewed or to find better endorsement contracts.

This summer, Chen Yingxiong and his agent team are very busy.

※※※

Chen Yingxiong attended a new product launch event specially prepared by Nike in New York. He held the "Hero 100" shoes embroidered with his name and let the reporters present take pictures.

But if the new product launch event is just like this, it would be too boring.

The selling point of this shoe is "to give full play to the killer's true colors." Unlike previous shoes that either focused on control or speed, without mentioning any focus, it means that this is a "comprehensive shoe like a hero"—this is also one of Nike's slogans.

After a simple product display, the actual verification stage will begin.

All reporters will be invited to an indoor soccer field to witness Chen Yingxiong wearing these new shoes for testing.

Including a free kick to test the accuracy of ball control, as well as a special test to demonstrate the accelerating effect of this shoe on shooting.

Chen Yingxiong wore a Nike training t-shirt and new shoes on his feet. These "Hero 100" shoes were red with gold trim, which looked very dazzling. Of course, people who don't like it would think it was "too flashy", but this is the main color of the Chinese flag, and the Spanish national team's jersey also used this color scheme.

Of course, Liverpool's new season jersey will also be this color scheme - red with gold patterns.

Chen Yingxiong first demonstrated his free kick skills to the media present. Ten free kicks, all of which hit the target, and five of them went into the theoretical dead corner.

After shooting ten goals, Chen Yingxiong did not forget to advertise the shoes, saying that wearing these shoes really improved his control of the football, making the touching part more precise, and the shot football naturally more accurate.

In fact, it doesn't have much to do with the shoes. He can often achieve this level when he practices free kicks hard in his copy.

He didn't wear any awesome shoes in his copy...

His ten free kicks were so accurate, and five of them directly hit the dead corner, which made the reporters admire him. It's not that they haven't seen Chen Yingxiong score free kicks, but watching him perform free kicks at such close range, the ball went in easier than a penalty kick, and everyone felt very novel.

But this is not the highlight, the highlight will be staged later.

The reporters watched a group of blue-clad workers suddenly enter in droves, two people carrying a piece of glass that was more than one person tall.

Then they were placed on shelves one by one, for a total of ten pieces.

After they were put in place, the workers left. The host on the scene told the reporters that they would still let Chen Yingxiong perform the good show of shooting glass with a football to see how many pieces of glass he could shoot through with one kick.

The reporters suddenly realized.

This trick is not original to Nike.

Originally, in a documentary filmed by Castrol for Cristiano Ronaldo, called "Challenge the Limits", it was used to show the working condition of the Portuguese and reveal the secret of how awesome he is.

One of them was a test of Cristiano Ronaldo shooting a ball and kicking glass.

Six pieces of glass, Ronaldo used two feet, three pieces of glass per foot.

Everyone is now more interested, they even squeezed forward, wanting to see how many pieces of glass Chen Yingxiong can break with this kick.

They secretly guessed in their hearts that three pieces of glass would be the minimum limit.

Everyone present knows that Chen Yingxiong and Cristiano Ronaldo are at odds. Although the two are both global image ambassadors for Pro Evolution Soccer, there has recently been news that the price of Chen Yingxiong's renewal of his contract with Pro Evolution Soccer is to increase his endorsement fee and kick out the Portuguese, so that he can exclusively own the global ambassador status.

So if Chen Yingxiong's final performance is not as good as Ronaldo's, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

In front of so many reporters, Nike dared to put on such a test, which shows that they still have absolute confidence in Chen Yingxiong.

It's just that Cristiano Ronaldo is also a contracted ambassador of Nike. If Chen Yingxiong's final result is better than Ronaldo's, isn't that clearly slapping Ronaldo in the face?

Because everyone knows that the relationship between the two is not good, Chen Yingxiong naturally could not be here to pay tribute to Ronaldo. There is only one possibility, that is, he wants to challenge Ronaldo and trample him under his feet.

This prospect makes people feel a little sad.

Cristiano Ronaldo was the star that Nike heavily launched at the beginning, but who would have thought that he is now being used as a stepping stone for Chen Yingxiong to take the position?

But who told Chen Yingxiong to be in the limelight now? What is Cristiano Ronaldo? Did he score one hundred and five goals in a season? Has he led Manchester United or Real Madrid to win all the championships in a season?

No, then naturally the able will live in it, and it is natural for Chen Yingxiong to take the position.

The real world is so cruel, the naked commercial cooperation relationship, there is not much human touch to talk about.

If Cristiano Ronaldo can prove himself again in the future, then it is normal to trample Chen Yingxiong under his feet to take the position, and even he himself will not think there is anything wrong with it.

But first of all, Chen Yingxiong must be able to trample Cristiano Ronaldo under his feet.

It's useless to say anything if you can't trample him under your feet, maybe it will set off the opponent's tall image instead?

So the key is how many pieces of glass Chen Yingxiong can shoot through with one kick. Ronaldo's shooting power is also known for its strength. Long-range shots are like eating for him. He has also staged a world wave goal from 40 meters away. When it comes to shooting power, he will not lose to anyone. Since he can only shoot through three pieces of glass, it means that the glass is not as easy to kick as people thought.

So what kind of answer sheet will Chen Yingxiong hand in?

Everyone is staring at Chen Yingxiong.

※※※

Chen Yingxiong placed the football about ten meters away from the first piece of glass.

Then he pushed it away and pulled out the distance for the run-up.

The scene was silent, and the photographers pointed their cameras at Chen Yingxiong, ready to press the shutter at any time.

Chen Yingxiong took a deep breath and started to run up.

Of course he knew what this arrangement was for.

He must kick out a better result than Ronaldo to prove that he is the big brother in Nike's football project!

After a few steps, he arrived in front of the football, swung his thick right leg, and then hit the football **** in the middle!

The football took off into the air, not very high, and roared towards the glass.

Soon it made contact with the first piece.

There was a loud bang, followed by the crash of the glass breaking.

Then the crashing sounds rang out one after another.

So much so that everyone's ears were numb to the point that they didn't know how many times it rang specifically, or they were simply connected together.

When the football finally stopped, and the crashing sounds all disappeared, everyone saw that the glass was already in a mess. The first piece had been completely shattered, and there was nothing on the bare shelf. The glass behind it was also dilapidated.

Everyone began to count the numbers.

One, two... three!

He has already tied Cristiano Ronaldo's record!

But this is obviously not the last piece, because everyone is still counting down.

Four, five... six... seven... eight... eight!

A full eight pieces of glass were smashed to pieces by Chen Yingxiong's thunderous kick just now!
