Soccer: Maxed-out ball control, the skill is too overpowered.

LeTV's GG filming process was pure torture.

Fortunately, Lu Xiao has a talent for acting, and GG was basically done in one take.

Cristiano Ronaldo is still on set.

Lu Xiao had already left.

This infuriated Cristiano Ronaldo, whose competitive spirit was at its peak.

"GG ​​was fantastic today, Professor Lu. Thank you for this opportunity to collaborate."

LeEco CEO and Chairman Jia Yueting is currently riding high, feeling like a true winner in life.

He, not yet 40, has just become the richest man on the ChiNext board.

LeEco's market value quickly exceeded 200 billion due to Lu Xiao's cooperation during the World Cup.

This allowed Jia Yueting to expand his business aggressively.

LeTV's content matrix has signed contracts for the rights to American and Korean dramas, kicking off the battle for TV drama copyrights ahead of schedule.

At the same time, LeTV Box and LeTV Super TV were launched.

The low-priced, large-screen smart TVs priced at 1999 quickly captured the mid-to-low-end consumer market.

The signing of Lu Xiao and the Belgian national team was undoubtedly the most crucial step, allowing them to soar to new heights thanks to the momentum of the World Cup.

It subtly suggests a challenge to Tencent.

Looking at Boss Jia's fawning smile as he said "I'll be back in China next week," Lu Xiao hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back.

He wanted to give this person a sneak peek into the future, but he was also worried about triggering a series of butterfly effects.

Lu Xiao has already caused enough butterfly effects; we don't want any more complications.

Whether Mr. Jia returns to China or not is irrelevant to him, and whether or not he manufactures cars is none of his business.

Moreover, during Jia Yueting's absence abroad, LeEco was left leaderless, seemingly on the verge of a debt crisis and not far from bankruptcy.

The actual employees are living very comfortably, working 4 days a week, with their salaries still among the highest in the industry, and their happiness level has increased rather than decreased.

Lu Xiao had only one request, and since the chairman of LeEco was right in front of him, he simply spoke his mind.

"I usually enjoy watching videos and dramas, so paying for a membership isn't a big deal. I can understand paying for copyright."

However, I really hate all the fancy interfaces on TV. Watching TV with a set-top box requires watching GG and going through a lot of complicated operations to turn on the TV channels.

I also really dislike the fact that even after becoming a member, there are still other paid features and fees...

So, Mr. Jia, you know what I mean.

As users, we don't want to be used as a tool for you to make money.

If similar situations occur in the future, damaging the user experience for members and consumers,

We have grounds to withdraw from the cooperation at any time.

???

Mr. Jia was stunned.

He's just a 17-year-old kid, yet he can say so much and even point out some of Mr. Jia's future plans.

This sent a chill down his spine.

Mr. Jia's original intention was to treat the TV as a cheap screen and the users as his own resources to make money. Otherwise, what's the point of selling a large-screen TV at such a low price?

When Lu Xiao pointed out the problem incisively, President Jia looked extremely embarrassed.

But he couldn't afford to offend Lu Xiao.

Based on the needs of future strategic cooperation, Lu Xiao will become a long-term spokesperson and partner.

Many young people chose LeEco products because of Lu Xiao.

Otherwise, they could simply buy competing products and watch the games on other websites.

Given Lu Xiao's future development, his influence will certainly not be limited to the present level. He will inevitably become a cultural icon like Michael Jordan of the NBA, Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal, and Lionel Messi of Argentina.

If LeEco were to offend Lu Xiao and allow him to side with a competitor, its rise today would be mirrored by its fall tomorrow.

Mr. Jia, who is skilled at deception and creating hype, understands this principle very well.

"Of course, of course, we will definitely optimize the user experience and strive to provide users with..."

"That's enough. You don't need to tell me the specifics. I'm just a soccer player."

In short, you should decide for yourself.

Initially, considering LeEco's future reputation, Lu Xiao did not want to cooperate with them.

However, both Mendes and the Belgian Football Association chose to cooperate.

The money is substantial: 30 million RMB for a one-year endorsement deal, with room for further premiums.

During his free time during the World Cup, Lu Xiao could easily earn 3000 million by filming a few videos. There's no need for him to turn down money.

His future plans for Chinese football will require a significant amount of money.

So there's no problem with making money through cooperation; LeEco's brand image is still relatively positive.

He doesn't mind cutting ties with negative public opinion at lightning speed.

……

GG's photoshoots and commercial interactions were just minor incidents during the World Cup.

Lu Xiao spends most of his time training and sweating it out in the gym.

Preparing for the upcoming knockout stage with his Belgian teammates.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Lu Xiao should be able to lead his team to victory against Portugal.

They are about to face one of the biggest favorites to win this tournament, and the future World Cup runner-up, Argentina!

In plain terms,

After Ronaldo, Messi will be next!

In the original timeline, the quarterfinals of the 2014 Brazil World Cup...

Argentina defeated Belgium 1-0 to advance to the semi-finals.

Belgium's golden generation's first World Cup ended in the quarterfinals, laying a foundation for their semifinal appearance in 2018.

With Lu Xiao joining this time,

He was unsure whether he could lead the team to rewrite history.

"call……"

Wearing a ventilator and monitoring equipment, Lu Xiao finished a set of exercises on the treadmill, panting as she removed the equipment, picked up the sports drink prepared by the nutritionist, and gulped down several mouthfuls.

"Lu, you've been working way too hard these past few days!"

De Bruyne and Hazard, standing nearby, were stunned.

The World Cup schedule is already packed, which is a huge test of the players' physical fitness and willpower.

Lu Xiao, however, spared no effort in training, pushing himself to the limit.

His teammates were all secretly astonished.

"It's alright. Next up is Portugal, and then we have Argentina next. We need to step up our game."

"this……"

De Bruyne and Hazard looked at each other in bewilderment.

The Belgian Football Association, including the coaching staff and team manager, did not actually assign any tasks.

The team's passing grade is simply to make it out of the group stage.

The Belgian team is open to whatever stage the knockout rounds take.

For them, the 2014 World Cup was more of a training exercise.

The main players are mostly in their early 20s, and their focus is on accumulating experience in major competitions.

2018 was their real period of exertion.

The entire Football Association and the national team are working hard with 2018 in mind.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiao is so full of fighting spirit at the age of 17, which makes De Bruyne want to do an extra set of training.

"That makes perfect sense! Lu is absolutely right! Why don't we give it our all and try to win that World Cup trophy!"

The starting goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, seemed very excited, and his words were full of agreement with Lu Xiao.

However, Lu Xiao only glanced at Courtois indifferently.

"Let's go, Kevin, let's go for a cold shower to relax our muscles."

"OK."

De Bruyne ignored Courtois and left with Lu Xiao.

"this……"

Courtois stood there awkwardly.

They played together as children, he also played for Genk, and he and Lu Xiao were once good brothers.

Why did it turn out like this?

"Brother, forget it, there's no need to force it."

Hazard knew about their relationship, simply patted Courtois on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

In 2012, Courtois and De Bruyne came to Chelsea from Genk, and the two remained close friends.

At the time, Courtois was on loan at Atletico Madrid, while De Bruyne was still waiting for his chance at Chelsea.

De Bruyne's girlfriend, Caroline, went on vacation to Madrid and spent time with Courtois.

After the incident was exposed by the media, the former best friends broke up.

As a mutual friend of both, Lu Xiao naturally sided with De Bruyne, and he also severed ties with Courtois.

The Belgian coach even considered expelling Courtois from the national team to maintain team harmony.

Fortunately, De Bruyne considered Courtois's outstanding ability and status as Belgium's best goalkeeper, so he pleaded with the coach and Courtois was ultimately kept on.

The relationship between the two was generally known in the locker room.

Courtois knew he was in the wrong and dared not speak to De Bruyne.

He tried to chat with Lu Xiao repeatedly, but Lu Xiao still hadn't forgiven him.

With a major battle imminent, they are about to face Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal.

Courtois could only put these things out of his mind and vent all his emotions on the gym equipment.

Head coach Wilmots and his coaching staff passed by, and seeing Courtois sweating profusely, he nodded in satisfaction.

"I feel the team is in good form for the next match against Portugal. What do you guys think?"

"Of course, if Lu, Kevin, and Eden can all perform normally..."

Forward coach Henry is full of confidence.

"One Cristiano Ronaldo is no problem!"
