Chapter 607 Eight-faced Storm (7k chapter presented~)

The secret that Tang Qian had to tell!He turned out to be a person who changed his age?Chinese basketball, the "curse" that few people can jump out of!
According to one of Tang Qian's middle school classmates, Tang Qian is not from XX at all!
An elementary school classmate of Tang Qian who did not want to be named broke the news that he has been changing his age!
Deep in the "age gate"!What is the real age of Lakers No. 29?Some claim he's over 25!
Somehow, domestic media suddenly sprung up a lot of news about Tang Qian like bamboo shoots.

Of course, just by looking at the title, you can tell whether this is good news or not, it is all scandalous news.

Now is the Internet age, a small piece of news can instantly spread across the country, or even the whole world, and it is even more difficult to easily block the spread of information as before.So soon, there were heated discussions on the forums and basketball websites of blockbuster movies, and there was only one general direction of the topic: Lakers No. 29, China's Tang Qian, how old is it now?

It has to be said that this is a very sensitive topic in China, because once it is brought up, countless fans will subconsciously think in a bad way.This is not the "human nature is evil" of ordinary fans, it's just that after watching too many such things, it is inevitable that people's hearts will not be affected at all.

Many people took the opportunity to jump out and sarcastically posted: It turns out that he is also an "old boy"!I just said how he was banned by the country!Surely the higher ups already knew about this!For a person like him, if he conceals his age, his character must not be very good!
is this real?Tang Ji also changed his age?I hate this behavior the most!If this is the case, immediately turn fans to passers-by!

Passerby?I turned from fan to black!This kind of atmosphere cannot be opened!Otherwise, in the long run, it will be unhealthy and evil, and the entire generation will be overwhelmed!
No wonder he never joined the national team!Is there also such a reason?Does he really think he can hide it from everyone in the world?As the old saying goes, paper cannot contain fire!

Not only that, look at this news, Tang Qian was a very scheming little bastard when he was a child!Modify the transcript!Go tamper with test paper scores!Forcing students in the front row to cooperate with plagiarism!It is said that he got a high score in the university because of cheating!Otherwise, why did Xiangcheng University expel him in the end?This is called wanting to be unknown to others, unless you do nothing!God still has eyes!
There are many "navy soldiers" and "professional black men" mixed in among these people. They are all masters of "using other people's money to eliminate disasters for others", and they don't talk about conscience and morality at all.Therefore, it is a mess, with mixed truths and falsehoods, and it really "fools" the broad masses of the people, not knowing what is true and what is false.

And in this way, their purpose is achieved.

You are not required to believe, but you are only required to be "half-believing", because psychologically speaking, "half-believing" is the most "suspicious" state.When a person is in this state, it is easy to get hotheaded and dizzy. It is not uncommon for people to follow the crowd and lose judgment easily.

Now is not the first few years, and some "officials" also like to buy some trolls and hire some gouache to promote their views.This can be regarded as a kind of performance of "advancing with the times".

At this moment, in the basketball management center, someone was grinning at the computer screen and said, "Hmph, kiddo, do you know the end of fighting against me now? Here, in the basketball field, if you don't listen to me, that's it." The result!" After speaking, he said to Chen Xin who was waiting below: "Wait a few days, and continue to add ingredients until he is completely crushed."

Chen Xin lowered his head and replied directly: "I understand, trust me, I will handle it well."

Seeing the respectful gestures of his subordinates, Xin Guan felt a burst of relief in his heart, and said, "What's the loss of Tang Qian? Do you really think you are Yao Ming? Without you, we still have Yi Jianlian, Zhou Qi, and so on." There are a series of key veterans! When we win the Asian Championships, let's see how I can completely suppress you from public opinion!"

"Fight with me? Court death!"

In Los Angeles, USA, Tang Qian was woken up again by a phone call early in the morning. Looking at the time, it was only 5:15 in the morning.

"Tang Qian! Something big happened in China! Turn on your computer right away and go to the XXXX website to have a look! It's all exploded over there!" Who is the caller if it's not Zhou Zhiru?It seemed that she had just received the news, and her voice was still hoarse from sleep.

"What's the big deal? Could it be that some celebrity gossip website is going to shoot me again?" Tang Qian was also a little unconscious, so he subconsciously asked. "No! Several big domestic media made their voices at the same time! In short, you should turn on the computer right now, and you will understand everything after a look!" Seeing Zhou Zhiru's anxiety, Tang Qian grabbed the tablet on the bedside table, and then opened the XXXX website. In 5-6 seconds he will understand roughly.

Then, a wave of anger rushed straight into his head and said, "These damned guys! I didn't expect them to be so despicable!!!"

Seeing these things, Tang Qian could think of who was the "instigator" with his toes. He used to think that some people in the basketball management and the Basketball Association were "inspired by fame and fortune", which led to the loss of vision.Looking at it now, his last illusions about these people have completely disappeared.

Just say one thing, expulsion?I obviously went to suspend school by myself, okay?It's just talking nonsense with your eyes open!
"Tang Qian, there is new news. The basketball management and the Basketball Association made a statement on Weibo. There is indeed a problem that players' names do not match the facts. The specific problem has been investigated in depth. I hope you don't worry. How can they even get involved? Already? This time, it’s more than ten times heavier than media news!” Zhou Zhiru’s words are true, because to some extent, people in China still believe in official announcements.So although no names were named, everyone knew who this was "alluding to".

Tang Qian was pushed to the forefront of the storm all at once in the country.

Not only that, Tang Qian's various age certificates and certificates were soon "scrambled" out, all of them had noses and eyes, and people took a quick look and felt that "there was something real".Needless to say, this must be a trick of Xinguan. The official only issued an ambiguous statement, and then relied on "non-governmental network forces" to "self-promote".

No wonder a few years later people are "dumbly suspicious" and "very suspicious" about things on the Internet. This is because they understand the huge power of the "naval army" and "navy"!Disturbing the audiovisual, fishing in troubled waters, deliberately directing the wind direction, discrediting and whitewashing are all their professional expertise.Where there is almost saliva, where there is a conflict of interest, they are indispensable.

So I can't help but say that Xinguan's move is very good. At least in 2013, this is a very clever "suppressive method".I picked it cleanly, and at the same time it seemed to be "public grievances" and "public anger". It was Tang Qian himself who had done something shameful and scandalous, so it naturally aroused "public indignation".

This matter soon spread to the United States. After all, it is a "global village" now, and the speed at which the Internet spreads is extremely terrifying.Moreover, in order to let Tang Qian know the lesson thoroughly, or to make the "superior boss" completely happy, Chen Xin also sent a certain proportion of "water troops" to various well-known forums in the United States to facilitate the "supervisor" in the United States. The sports world should also pay attention to it as soon as possible and ferment it as soon as possible.

It can be described as "meticulous work" and "meticulous".

No wonder he came to this position at such a young age, flattery is definitely not enough.

Take the famous American forum reddit as an example. Due to the deliberate operation of some "water troops", the big discussion about the Lakers' No. 29 "age secret" quickly kicked off.

This kind of thing seems to be a normal thing over there, right?Back then, Yi, Sun, Ba, Wang, and Yao all had this controversy!

Yao didn't!As a veteran Rockets fan!He was listed in Chinese newspapers very early!It seems that he was a celebrity when he was born!
Well, except for Yao!What about the rest?It's hard to say, right?I see that many Chinese people are discussing this matter in a big way, so it should be untrue, right?
I have long felt that he does not look like a 22-year-old. I heard that he is already 25?Can anyone confirm this?

Yes, I am Chinese, I can prove that the report over there is indeed 25 years old, there are pictures and truth!
Wow~ You are really 25 years old!Now his ten million contract is in vain! haha~ I'm a Boston fan~
It's still possible, but it's a contract of tens of millions of RMB~ this is not high, right?Everyone?
It is strongly recommended to re-examine the identity of Dongfang Tang, and it is strongly recommended to increase the inspection of the bone age of Chinese people, otherwise it will be another Yi?Isn't it a big loss for the signing team?
Oh~Leader Hot~May I ask if you are Captain America?How old are you?Can you tell us all?

So the Lakers are going to sign an Eastern center who is about to be 26 years old?Or tens of millions of big contracts? Come.on~Tell me this is not true~Oriental people’s physical endurance is not optimistic~
Chairman. TANG!You really only fit on the bench!

domestic.

"This is a real-time screenshot of several well-known forums in the United States. You can take a look at it!" A phone call was in progress with Chen Xin.

"Well, it's not bad, but remember, don't make it too obvious, after all, foreign countries are not domestic." Chen Xin said to the phone while flipping through the pages. "Don't worry, we have been in this business for many years, and we will never show any trace!" The voice on the phone was full of confidence. "That's good. I'll call you if I have any new tasks. Let's do it first." After speaking, Chen Xin hung up the phone.

"Hey, Tang Qian, don't blame me for being cruel, it's just that you offended Xinguan, and I was also ordered by others." Chen Xin put down his phone and said hypocritically with no sympathy on his face.

……

"Tang Qian, fortunately, I have negotiated with your school a long time ago, and they agreed at the time, so it shouldn't be..." Before Zhou Zhiru finished speaking, Tang Qian said, "They will, unless your family It’s not bad to use political connections, otherwise, in front of money and power, the country will surrender to the latter most of the time.” It’s not the time for Tang Qian to come to the United States now, after so many things, he has already Then he got a huge growth, and said: "I guess even if you call them now, they will make excuses and evade it. You can't blame them. After all, they are all in the country, and there is no need to offend officials for us."

"Then what should we do? For this matter, the impact will be disastrous! What if the partners ask you to terminate the contract because of this negative news?" Zhou Zhiru's worry is a practical matter, because most of the endorsement contracts now contain information about For the "Party B's own image problem", if your own problems cause a huge loss of profit to the partner, then they can not only terminate the contract with you, but also bite you back, asking you to pay huge liquidated damages or huge economic losses.

In this way, Tang Qian can be said to be "besieged on all sides" and "besieged by enemies".

Kobe also had this time back then, but he stood up to it. Zhou Zhiru didn't know if Tang Qian could survive it.

Because people's words are terrible, how many people live in this world who don't care about their own fame and reputation at all?
"Let's hold a press conference tomorrow. Let's discuss the specific issues." At this time, Tang Qian can only do this, otherwise he will not explain at all, which is not a good thing in the United States.During the time he was on the phone with Zhou Zhiru, several people called on his mobile phone.

They are domestic Li Qiuping, Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni, Mitch Kupchak, Tang's father and mother, Taylor, Krause, Stallone's sister Hua, Ajiali Ranadive, etc. It can be seen that because of This matter, now I have passively become the "focus of attention".

First reported safety to Tang's father and Tang's mother, and after a little reassurance, Tang Qian called Li Qiuping.

As soon as the phone was connected, before Tang Qian could speak, he heard Li Qiuping's voice rushing out, saying, "Xiao Tang, do you know everything about domestic affairs? I didn't expect that they would actually do this because you didn't want to agree to their conditions. Make a move like this!" "Coach Li, do you also think it's the people above?" Tang Qian asked. "Of course, according to my intuition, it can't be wrong, otherwise the major websites would not suddenly release so many negative news about you, and the caliber is surprisingly consistent. This is not in line with the current media' ‘Praise and blame’ eyeball-earning strategy.”

"I'm watching it now." Tang Qian said: "But this method won't hurt my muscles, because... eh???"

While browsing the webpage, a piece of news suddenly caught Tang Qian's eyes and said:
Tang Qian suspected of fraudulent US documents!Just how much of him is true? ? ?
Tang Qian clicked in and took a look, and his face immediately turned pale. He whispered to Li Qiuping on the phone: "Coach Li, they are starting to make a fuss about my fake certificate!" Quickly clicked the mouse, and then saw the news that Tang Qian saw.After tens of seconds, the latter said in a deep voice: "It shouldn't be a problem. Although this certificate is fake, it has already been connected to the US national system. If you don't check carefully, you won't be able to find out the problem at all."

"Then what if they want to investigate carefully?" Tang Qian asked.

"This..." Li Qiuping was speechless, because as long as she had the heart, she could still find some clues that something was wrong.

In order to solve the problem that Tang Qian was too young to play professional basketball in the United States, he asked Phil Hubbard to change Tang Qian's age a little bit, but this was purely out of good intentions, otherwise Tang Qian would not even be in the NBDL. I can't even participate in the local trial training, let alone join the NBA later.For international players, if you are not 19 years old, you are not even eligible to participate in the draft.

Tang Qian was not yet 18 years old when he came to the United States. It is inconvenient to do anything at such an age.

Moreover, the pressure of public opinion was extremely high at that time, and the Basketball Association also sent people to Lithuania. Time was running out, and he had to send Tang Qian away immediately, so after all, there was such a "time-saving" approach.In fact, according to Li Qiuping's original idea, Tang Qian just went to NBDL to hone for a few years, and then tried to participate in the NBA draft to see if he could become a stable and fixed rotation, and then he could "correct" while joining the national team. This "American false certificate".

But Tang Qian's progress was too fast, much faster than he expected, so he didn't have time to help Tang Qian "correct" this "American fake certificate". Tang Qian has become an officially registered player in the NBA.In this way, if you want to do something again, the difficulty will be multiplied countless times.Well, this is actually okay, as long as there is no trouble in the country, it is impossible for foreign countries to be too aware of this "domestic characteristic".For example, in Yi Jianlian back then, it was mainly the domestic fans who made things bigger by themselves, which gradually made American fans know about this matter.

It's a pity that the "grievances" between Tang Qian and the national team were also unexpected by Li Qiuping. In short, it was a wrong step, which eventually led to such a "handle".

"Xiao Tang, I made a mistake in this matter, I'm sorry." After a while, Li Qiuping said on the phone rather self-blame. "Coach Li, what are you talking about? If it weren't for you, how could I get through such a difficult period? How could I gain a foothold in Los Angeles so quickly? This is not your problem." Tang Qian really complained about Li Qiuping No, because Li Qiuping has helped him a lot no matter whether he was in Lithuania or later came to the United States. He is not the kind of ungrateful person.So Tang Qian has always respected Li Qiuping.

"My agent suggested that I hold a press conference, what do you think?" Tang Qian began to ask for opinions.

Li Qiuping said: "Hold a press conference? No, no, no, this will make things worse! It's best to have a dull monk, ignore it, and deal with it coldly. This kind of turmoil won't last for too long. It's like Yi’s handling of the age issue has proven to be effective.” Tang Qian nodded upon hearing this, but did not give an answer right away, because although Yi’s “age issue” finally overcame the limelight, it was also because of his “ambiguity.” ", became the talk of fans to attack and ridicule.

To be honest, this is not what Tang Qian wants.

"Coach Li, my age has changed to be older, not younger. This should be different from Yi and the others, right?" Tang Qian asked.

"You underestimate the ability of the higher-ups." After all, Li Qiuping has been in the "institutional circle" for a long time. He said: "As long as the higher-ups have the intention to punish you, it doesn't matter whether you change it to a big one or a small one. As long as you change it, then Enough. They can produce all kinds of evidence to make you feel irrefutable."

"So you mean, I can only deal with it in silence?" Tang Qian said.

"That's right, this is the best way for now." Li Qiuping said on the phone.

Tang Qian didn't return the other people's calls, because of certain things, he had to think carefully about how to deal with them.

Although it is said that if you listen to both, you will be bright, and if you listen to one side, you will be dark, but in the end, only you can make a decision.

At the same time, the top management of AND1 was also in a mess. People were sitting in the conference room, chattering and arguing constantly.

"Mr. Berger, I think the hot issue has a great impact on our company. I suggest temporarily stopping the production of endorsement sneakers!"

"Mr. Berger, I don't think suspending production is enough! Judging from the current situation, the whole country is not friendly to this age fraud. Maybe we take this opportunity to terminate the contract with them, and let them pay a liquidated damages by the way! "

"Mr. Berger..."

Most of these remarks were unfavorable to Tang Qian, but fortunately, the person in charge, Seth Berger, did not make a decision immediately. After he was silent for a while, he looked in one direction and said, "Dina, what's your opinion?"

"I think we should take advantage of the opportunity to hype, make use of the topic, and confirm the tone of the hot topic by the way!"

"Oh? What do you mean? Tell me!" Seth Berger has always admired this young female executive, not only because of her ability, but also because of her certain views and opinions, which can always be compared with her own. Coincidentally.This is especially important!
Because of a lot of things, as the general boss, he didn't want to say it himself, so it was undoubtedly the best solution to say it through other people's mouths.

"People today are different from before. Many things have the same views, and there will be rebellion, especially young people." Dai Na said: "Our main audience for AND1 is young people who are a little rebellious and different in thinking. This crisis may also be a great opportunity. After all, China’s hot reputation is known all over the United States. Let’s not talk about good or bad, this is a point that can be used.”

"Continue." Seth Berger sat at the front and said.

"Then look at what young people like now, the spirit they like is not noble, not great, not righteous, but alternative, rebellious, and personality occupies the mainstream. Neither Nike nor Adidas have spokespersons for this aspect. I think it happens to be us. When you can get in the way." After Dana finished speaking, someone disagreed and retorted: "What are you talking about? Dana? Don't lead the company astray! The success of Nike and Adidas has proved that Yes, their way is feasible! We are self-righteous now, forget it if we succeed, but what if we fail? Can you afford this responsibility?"

Dana seemed to have expected this scene a long time ago, so she answered very slowly: "Carson, who said we were the first to eat crabs? There used to be such people in the NBA! They are superstar players!" "Really? You're talking about it!" The executive named Carson objected.

"His name is Allen Iverson." As soon as Dana said this, Carson was stunned, because this person did meet all the factors that Dana had said before.Alternative, rebellious, individual, even a villain.But has this affected Iverson's commercial success?It has no effect at all, but it has a huge bonus effect!

Relying on these characteristics, the name Iverson has won the support of a large number of young people. Without it, there are too few spokespersons in this regard.Less, in business, means opportunities, blanks, and big money.

The gamble of Reebok in 1996 did give them a chance to enter the NBA field during that time.

This signature dish is Philadelphia No. 3, Allen Iverson.

The launch of the The.answer series has achieved a generation of classics. It was second only to the Nike Air.Jordan series and became the signature shoe with the most "algebra" in history.And this English The.answer, the answer, also accompanied Iverson's life.

As soon as this case came out, the audience was dumbfounded. After all, after losing Iverson, Reebok immediately lost its backbone in the NBA and slowly withdrew from the stage of competing with Nike and Adidas.However, it was also extremely brilliant back then.

This will be a huge temptation for AND1, which is about to go bankrupt.

"Then Dana, have you thought about the corresponding theme or corresponding temperament of this sneaker?" Seth Berger asked, obviously feeling moved. "We can start with the hot temperament and style of play, maybe..." Before Dana finished speaking, Seth Berger said first: "I'll do my own thing, how about this?"

"Do my own way?" Dana's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and said: "As expected of Mr. Seth Berger, he is indeed better than all of us! This word is tailor-made for the current heat! His identity, his uniqueness, his playing style, and even his violent gestures can all be perfectly presented in this word!"

Seth Berger seemed to be satisfied with his subordinate's reaction. He said, "The bets have already been placed, and the game has begun. Either win or perish. I hope that Tang is worthy of our bets."

"Notify the planning department and the promotion department to fully implement the "I do my own way" plan and fully support China Hot!"
