Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 70 [Hai Ye speaks for Toyota? 】

Taylor - Swift did not come to see the game, the Rockets lost a beautiful landscape at home.

Taylor's fame grew and her jobs increased.Hayes hadn't seen her much since she moved back home.

This made Hayes feel a little confused. The relationship between the two was already very close, and it was easy to go further. However, due to their busy work, they could only communicate by phone.

Today, Taylor's father Scott - Swift came to watch the game at home.

"Hi, Chuck." After the game, Scott and Hayes greeted warmly.

"Hi, Scott." Hayes and Scott - Swift said hello.When they met, they both called each other by their first names.This is an American habit. If it is placed in China, it will feel like a mess of generations.

Scott was a fan and became friends with Hayes.They have had meals together a few times and have a lot in common when it comes to basketball.If the daughter can't come, the father certainly won't let the ticket go to waste.

"Chuck, you did a great job. If it weren't for you, the Rockets' winning streak might have ended." Scott Swift patted Hayes on the shoulder with a smile. "It was really enjoyable to watch today."

"Thank you." Hayes smiled.

"I'm leaving, I still have work tomorrow. You have to keep working hard, I'm optimistic about you!" Scott patted Hayes on the back again and said.

"I wish you all the best." Hayes smiled.

Scott was conflicted.He likes Hayes, whether it is talent or character.Hayes has a good personality, plays well and knows music. If he were white, he would definitely support Hayes as his son-in-law.However, he quietly did something sorry for Hayes.He couldn't say these things, and he felt a little guilty.

As soon as Hayes walked into the player tunnel, the reporters immediately surrounded him, wanting to interview the heroes of the game.

Hayes responded casually and slipped back to the locker room.

Reporters asked him how he defended Kobe?It is inconvenient for Hayes to announce his actions to the world.Could it be that he told the reporter that while provoking Kobe, he pulled the other's underpants with small movements?That's too perverted, it's better to flash people.

The Lakers had their worst loss of the season.

At the press conference after the game, "Zen Master" Jackson always had a gloomy face.When the reporter asked a question, he immediately lost his temper.

"I don't know what's going on - we're up 20 points at most and then we lose, and that's a way of losing that's hard for me to take."

The reason for the Lakers' defeat is obvious. They had more turnovers than the Rockets, fewer rebounds than the Rockets, and the penalty in the last quarter was not allowed to give up the victory.In the whole game, except for Kobe, the performance of other Lakers players was mediocre.

Kobe Bryant scored 48 points. His super performance in the first half made the Lakers lead the Rockets, but the continuous strikes in the second half allowed the Rockets to recover the score.Success is also Kobe, and defeat is also Kobe.

Phil Jackson didn't blame Kobe.

When playing against the Suns in the playoffs last season, many people accused Kobe of playing too alone and had no teammates in his eyes. They said that Kobe's selfishness was the main reason for the Lakers' failure.As a result, Kobe was not alone in the last game. He kept passing the ball to his teammates in the second half and only made one shot. The Suns beat the Lakers by 30 points and advanced.

Kobe is not alone, who else can the Lakers rely on now?Except for Odom, no player is really qualified.

When the reporter asked about the Rockets' defense against Kobe, Phil Jackson blew his beard and stared and said loudly: "We could have won the game, but a player on the Rockets played too brutally and the defense was too dirty. Odom In the second half, he flopped and kept making small moves that caused Kobe to play abnormally! Everyone only needs to watch the video carefully to know what happened. I won’t say much, at this time It’s useless to find any excuses, a loss is a loss. But when we return to the home court, we will definitely fight back!”

Some reporters speculated that what Phil Jackson wants to do most now is to capture the Rockets player to his KFC store, chop up chicken nuggets, and make hamburgers. (Negative: Jackson didn’t open KFC. Pro: Definitely! He even used his own face as a logo. 囧)

The dirty player mentioned by Phil Jackson is naturally Chuck Hayes who was named the best player of the game.

海耶斯命中率很低，他上场40分钟，19投中6，三分球7中2，罚球3中3，17分11篮板5助攻1盖帽2抢断。

Yao Ming scored 28 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks, which seems to be stronger.But the experts agree that Hayes' defense is the key to the Rockets' victory. His inside defense in the first half injured Odom, and in the second half when defending the outside line, he succeeded in stealing Kobe and sent a big cap!It was his key defense that led the team to counterattack and reverse the Lakers.

Hayes did not participate in the news conference.Although he won the game, he felt embarrassed to win in this way. He didn't know how to face the media.

He hoped that he could beat Kobe with his skills, not tricks.On the surface, it looked like he had won, but in fact, compared to his personal ability, he lost in a complete mess.

Could Hayes do better if he entered the Lakers and played Kobe's current role?Can he become the core of a team?
he can not.

Now it is impossible for him to support the whole team's offense alone. If someone double-teams, his end will be to become a blacksmith.

Hayes drove back to the apartment and sat there for a while. Gao Tongxuan knocked on the door, visited his house as a guest, and reported on his work.

Gao Tongxuan, as Hayes' agent, will also be present to watch the Hayes game.But after the game, she will leave the arena and go home alone, and will not go back to the apartment with Hayes.

She did this to avoid scandal.

Recently, more and more companies have contacted her, and businessmen have taken a fancy to Hayes' popularity.Some merchants hope that Hayes will endorse their products for a long time, and some companies hope that Hayes can attend product promotion activities to create momentum for the event.This kind of cooperation takes a very short time, perhaps as long as a day or a few hours, tens of thousands of dollars can be credited.

Hayes pushed it all off.He needs time to practice and improve his strength, and it is impossible to attend too many business activities during the holidays.There is only one company's endorsement contract that he is very interested in, because this company is very big and pays the most money.That is Japan's Toyota Motor.

Gao Tongxuan slowly introduced to Hayes in Chinese: "Toyota wants you to be the spokesperson. I talked to the person in charge. Originally, Toyota offered 500 million a year, but I raised the price to 2000 million because They offered Yao Ming 2000 million before, but Yao Ming refused. I said that you are now more popular than Yao Ming, and you are also very popular in China, so you can’t be lower than Yao Ming.”

"What did the people at Toyota say?" Hayes asked with a smile.

"I agreed. They very much hope that a Rockets star can endorse them. You are one of the Rockets' Big Three. McGrady has already endorsed other companies. Yao Ming refused. Now the most suitable candidate is you." Gao Tongxuan's tone was a little excited .If the cooperation is successful, this will be the first contract she negotiated as an agent, and it will be a large contract worth tens of millions of dollars.

However, she pondered for a while and said, "Chuck, there is one thing I must remind you. If you endorse Toyota, it may reduce your popularity in China. You'd better think about it seriously."

"Isn't it? Beauty, 2000 million. You still persuade me not to accept this endorsement? If I accept it, you will become a rich woman." Hayes looked at Gao Tongxuan and said with a smile: "You can contact Toyota tomorrow. When you come back from the away game, you can sign with them."

Gao Tongxuan didn't want to take advantage of this business to make money, but she felt that she had an obligation to think about Hayes and explain to him the relationship.With a bitter smile, he said, "You think too simply. You don't understand the hearts of Chinese people. If you endorse the Japanese, Chinese fans may not like you. I'm afraid you will lose even more."

Japan's Toyota Corporation approached Alexander, the owner of the Rockets several times, with only one purpose, hoping that he would help connect with Yao Ming and let Yao Ming be Toyota's image spokesperson.Toyota has always been the stadium sponsor of the Rockets, and the home arena of the Rockets is called "Toyota Center", so the boss is naturally willing to fulfill this good thing. What's more, Toyota has already prepared for Yao Ming before starting to act. signed a lucrative advertising contract.However, the result was beyond everyone's expectations. Yao Ming had almost no room for negotiation, just two words: "No." Moreover, Yao Ming was not responsible for providing any explanation.

Hayes looked at Gao Tongxuan, smiled and said, "I know what's going on. Yao Ming's refusal to accept Toyota's endorsement is an anti-Japanese plot. But I'm different, I'm an American. Even if I'm a nigger (this word has racist connotations) Ah, Lord Hai!) endorsed Toyota, as long as you pretend you don’t know the conflict between China and Japan, they will forgive me, but you, you are my economic man, they may condemn you. You think you can bear the condemnation of the Chinese people Is there any pressure from you? If you are afraid of being scolded in the future, I will not accept it.”

"You know? You said...if I...you wouldn't pick it up?" Gao Tongxuan heard Hayes' words, her beautiful eyes seemed to shine brightly, and her breathing was a little rough.is he serious? 2000 million U.S. dollars, if you say no, you don’t want it. What kind of courage is this?He is for me?
"Well, if you don't want to lose your tongue, I will boycott Japanese products with you." Hayes said seriously.

Gao Tongxuan suddenly felt that this black man was cool and free and easy.I felt a little strange in my heart, but...

Hayes only lasted for 5 seconds, then changed his pleading expression, and said: "Beauty, I'm just talking, don't let me pick it up, I want the 2000 million to speculate in stocks .”

Gao Tongxuan, who was still moved, shook her head and collapsed on the sofa.

Gao Tongxuan's worry is justified.

The Japanese said: "Even if we don't pay homage to the Yasukuni Shrine, Koreans don't buy our cars, but if we visit the Yasukuni Shrine every year, the Chinese will still buy our products."

A sentence that chills the Chinese from head to toe has caused countless patriotic Chinese to "boycott Japanese products."

Many passionate men boycotting Japanese goods, when they see a woman wearing a "kimono", want to strip her naked in the street. (This is not a boycott of Japanese goods, but a pervert, right?)

In fact, blindly boycotting Japanese products is also harmful to China.

In today's economic globalization, many commodities are not simply "original Japanese goods", but "multinational" products.Many of the so-called "domestic products" or products from other countries are also produced in joint ventures with Japanese companies.This is difficult to distinguish as an individual consumer.Under the circumstances of international economic interdependence and "I am among you, and you are among me", blindly boycotting Japanese products is like playing sparrows with your eyes closed.If the blind boycott of Japanese goods hits the Japanese-funded enterprises in China, it is likely to cause the Chinese employees of these enterprises to be laid off, thus harming the vital interests of the Chinese compatriots.

The fact that the Japanese devils once invaded China is of course undeniable, and of course the hatred of the country and the family must be avenged, but the Chinese should not use methods that are not beneficial to themselves.

To fight against the outside world, we must first settle down at home. It is better to hide our strengths and bide our time. When the country is truly strong, it will not be too late to wash Japan with blood.

Gao Tongxuan spoke in such detail for Hayes' sake.

She didn't expect Hayes to know more details.

"It's okay. Jackie Chan also endorsed Canon in Japan. No one boycotts Jackie Chan, right? I'm just an American." Hayes laughed.

In addition to his current identity as an American, it is also because he sees far away.

The Chinese boycott of Japanese products will not change because of a black man. How many Chinese people buy Toyota cars just because they saw his advertisement?He's not Yao Ming, so he won't have that much influence.

More importantly, he knew the future and what could go wrong with the Toyota.

In 2010, events such as the famous "Toyota pedal door" and "Toyota brake door" will occur, and Toyota Motor Corporation announced that it will recycle more than 910 million cars worldwide. What does 910 million vehicles mean to Toyota?It means that all the cars produced by this company for a year are re-melted, which is not enough.Not to mention, how much is the huge cost of recycling and repairing so many cars?In fact, the worst thing is to discredit the prestige of Toyota cars known as "the world's highest quality" in the world.

The situation with Toyota is like a Miss World beauty pageant who is suddenly found out to be the best man.The U.S. government even banned the sale of Toyota cars in the country.

Hayes thought not only to endorse, but also spare no effort to build momentum for Toyota.Anyway, the more you sell, the more you will recycle if something goes wrong, and you will lose little Japan...

He has already made a decision to endorse for a year first and earn a fortune.If the contract can be renewed in the second year, sign a big contract first, and then let the "Toyota brake door" incident be exposed in advance.

It's very simple, as long as you report anonymously to the relevant department and have someone investigate it.

After exposing the garbage cars of Little Japan, he held a press conference again, publicly apologized to the people who bought Toyota cars, and pretended to be a victim. Toyota wants mental damages.

Toyota, prepare to send money to Hai Ye!
