Tennis: He's so obedient!

Chapter 106 Unboxing: Huge Upgrade (Please Subscribe)
After bathing and burning incense, Jiang Hong chanted the names of all the gods and Buddhas in the sky, his expression solemn!

"System, open it for me!"

Perhaps the system believes that even a weakened Davydenko is stronger than Kei Nishikori.

Therefore, this box is an improvement over the previous one!

One box is made of tattered wood, while the other is made of iron. The rewards should be upgraded as well!

After a brief cutscene, Jiang Hong heard a "creak" sound.

Two fireworks burst from the box on the panel, then slowly dissipated!
Jiang Hong immediately checked the rewards the system had given out this time!
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained +1 Advanced Serving Technique Points]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained +2 Advanced Serving Technique Points]

Jiang Hong's eyes lit up; improving even one point in serving technique was already extremely difficult.

Now that three serving techniques have suddenly been introduced, it's like the game is about to take off!

It can be said that it saved Jiang Hong three months of hard work!

In modern tennis, the serve is arguably the most important element.

Among athletes of similar skill level, the ability to defeat an opponent depends on whether they can break their serve.

At this point, serving becomes especially important.

Moreover, scoring directly through serves can put psychological pressure on the opponent.

"nice one!"

Jiang Hong wouldn't keep any of the technical points or attribute points he had.

"System, add more!"

[Serve: 83→86]

Jiang Hong couldn't discern the specifics either.

However, I have some new ideas about serving.

I have some ideas about serving, but it seems I'll have to test them out on the court tomorrow!

……

Hyde's office in China is located in the same building as its authorized dealers.

"what?"

"You said you can't get in touch with their agent?"

Zhao Hui, who was in charge of regional affairs for Hyde China, widened his eyes, somewhat angry.

Currently, Wilson holds the largest market share in the Chinese tennis racket market, and other brands find it difficult to challenge its position.

And Hyde officially entered the Chinese market this year.

We are currently in the market expansion phase.

The most important thing to do right now is to increase brand awareness.

The live broadcast of Jiang Hong's battle against Davydenko on CCTV caused Jiang Hong's popularity to soar.

At least within the Chinese tennis community, there is no one who hasn't heard of Jiang Hong.

Moreover, according to my inquiries, the other party does not sponsor rackets.

Therefore, I must hurry up and sign Jiang Hong.

Moreover, according to the information I have gathered about Jiang Hong, his growth rate is truly astonishing.

However, the staff now say they haven't been able to find Jiang Hong's agent.

If Wilson gets there first, it will be much harder for them to break through.

"Mr. Zhao, I asked around at Nike, and it seems that Jiang Hong doesn't have a management company!"

This answer was indeed unexpected.

After all, Jiang Hong is definitely the tennis player with the highest commercial value right now!

Sponsorships and endorsements make up the bulk of tennis players' income, especially for players like Jiang Hong who have access to a huge market and no competitors.

Zhao Hui rubbed his forehead and spun around twice.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said to his subordinate, "Didn't I tell you to contact the head coaches of tennis teams in various provinces before? Go ask Coach Qin if he has Jiang Hong's contact information!"

Having just entered the Chinese market, the only teams we could work with were the provincial teams.

These teams don't have racket sponsors for every player; they only need to select one or two players from each province and provide each other with a dozen or so rackets each year.

For young players who are not well-known, racket sponsors rarely pay money.

Upon hearing this, the subordinate quickly nodded and then said.

"Mr. Zhao, please wait a moment, I'll contact them right away!"

He then moved aside and found the phone number of Qin Province's head coach, Li Jun.

After getting off work, Li Jun stretched when he got home.

He was immediately berated by his wife, "So you know how to come home now? It's so late, all you do is fool around. The kids need tutoring, go get 1000 yuan tomorrow!"

Li Jun immediately lowered his raised hand, nodded, and said.

"understood!"

Just then, Li Jun's phone rang.

I picked up my phone and glanced at it, and saw that the caller ID displayed the words "Hyde".

His eyes lit up instantly. Could it be that they've taken a liking to one of his promising talents?

Although the sponsor doesn't provide money, they do provide rackets!
You can make several thousand yuan by buying a few sets yourself!
Li Jun answered the phone immediately, a smile spreading across his face.

"Hello, this is Li Jun. Manager Gao, are you looking for me because you're interested in our provincial team members?"

He couldn't wait to promote his team members immediately.

Upon hearing this, Gao Yan naturally wouldn't rule out the possibility of a definitive answer!
"Our company is currently investigating, and I will definitely inform Coach Li of the results as soon as they are available!"

"I see!" Li Jun was somewhat disappointed to hear that it wasn't a sponsorship.

However, she then felt a little puzzled and asked, "I wonder what brings Manager Gao to call me so late?"

Gao Yan immediately took the opportunity to explain why he had called.

"It's like this, Jiang Hong has been doing very well at the China Open recently, so our company is hoping to discuss a collaboration with him. I wonder if Coach Li would be able to contact him?"

When Li Jun heard Jiang Hong's name, his face immediately darkened.

I never imagined that Jiang Hong would rise so quickly and become a leading figure in Chinese men's online tennis in the blink of an eye.

Now, Hyde suddenly says it wants to discuss cooperation with Jiang Hong, which is obviously another sponsorship deal.

It definitely couldn't be equipment sponsorship for young athletes; there must be a substantial sponsorship fee involved!
"I'm sorry, Jiang Hong isn't a member of our provincial team, and I don't have his contact information!" Li Jun forced a smile and said awkwardly.

"Oh, I see!" Gao Yan was somewhat disappointed, not expecting that even the provincial team didn't have Jiang Hong's contact information.

"Manager Gao, we also have some promising talents in our team..."

Just as Li Jun was about to promote the other team members so that he could also get some benefits, the other party hurriedly left a message saying, "I'll contact you another day," and hung up the phone.

Hearing the "beep beep beep..." sound from the phone, Li Jun slammed down on the sofa.

My heart was throbbing with pain. If I had been able to bring Jiang Hong into the provincial team, I could have gotten 20% of his sponsorship fee.

If it's $100,000, I can get $20,000 myself, which is more than my annual salary!
Moreover, this money is stipulated by the system; the players' competition bonuses and the coaches' endorsement deals are all split among themselves.

This was originally intended as an incentive for coaches, but it has gradually evolved into clauses that allow coaches to squeeze out athletes.

Now Hyde has another sum of money to spare!

Li Jun felt a pang of heartache at the thought, knowing he wouldn't be able to sleep again tonight!

The tempting banknotes just floated away right in front of me.

Domino's, it's US dollars!
