King of Sports 179 Make A Choice

In the end, Tang Yan touched the wall first with a distance of half a palm ahead of Cesar Cielo.

After touching the wall, the audience at the venue went crazy.

Not only on scene, but countless Chinese fans watching in front of the TV set went completely crazy.

50 meters! In this project, which was mostly dominated by Westerners, not only did a Chinese swimmer appear for the first time in the final, but he also won gold!

And his results!

Everyone stared up to the LED screen!

21 seconds 21!

When the times came out, all the audience in the venue did not make a sound of exclamation.

This result was only 0.5 seconds away from the previous world record set by Cesar Cielo.

This was the best time so far this year for the 50m freestyle!

"You're such an incredible guy!" Said Cesar Cielo with admiration in his eyes after seeing Tang Yan's achievements.

Although Australians have been advocating that Tang Yan may be taking stimulants, as the top 50m freestyle, he knew that Tang Yan's performance was natural. After all, stimulants are just stimulants. It's impossible to say that an athlete could be transformed from a second-rate athlete to a first-rate athlete, or from a first-rate to a top-notch athlete. They still needed talent and skill.

"Thank you, that was a close one." Tang Yan replied politely.

As they came out of the pool, the scene was full of excited screams and whistles, and the chants that appeared from time to time showed the excitement of the audience at this moment.

"With this gold medal, from 50 meters to 400 meters, Tang Yan has won a medal each race. I believe that after tonight, he will receive unprecedented attention. He is the best athlete in the history of Chinese swimming. There is none other. "The commentator looked down at Tang Yan and praised without hesitation.

The 50-meter awards ceremony attracted unprecedented attention from the audience. Many netizens recorded this scene and posted it online, and it quickly spread on the Internet like a virus.

Tang Yan's popularity was skyrocketing with an absolute blowout, and matchingly his Weibo following skyrocketed from a few hundred thousand to over a million in just one night, all real users, the number of likes and comments grew exponentially.

It was no exaggeration to say that if the current Tang Yan had the opportunity to participate in a reality show or something, it would directly make the show popular.

Of course, this was not Tang Yan's focus. This was for Zhuang Jiajie to consider and arrange.

.....

There was no time for a reality show, but just after the award ceremony, Zhuang Jiajie came looking for Tang Yan with a laptop and a bunch of documents.

Although he had become Tang Yan's agent, in the past two months, he had basically been doing miscellaneous tasks and making suggestions. Naturally, he had no substantial income. So usually, Zhuang Jiajie rented a temporary Officetel.

Tang Yan proposed to let him stay with him but he refused saying: "There is no success without hardship, afterall success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance and sacrifice"

Looking at the pile of documents brought by Zhuang Jiajie, Tang Yan's eyes were full of curiosity.

"It's just some details on the contracts. If you are interested, you can look through it." Zhuang Jiajie saw Tang Yan's look, and explained.

"Contracts? What contracts?" Tang Yan asked with confusion.

"Endorsement contracts. Because of your popularity, we've finally received some worthwhile endorsement offers, this time you performed extremely well. We received a lot of contracts, I have selected some suitable ones. But you still need to choose which one you want. "Zhuang Jiajie said and turned his laptop to Tang Yan.

Zhuang Jiajie showed him a powerpoint slide, which should be to screen out and select which contracts he wanted.

Tang Yan looked at the display in front of him but when he saw the first slide, he looked up shocked.

The first page of the slide, this product....

Tang Yan couldn't help but call out: "Are you kidding me?" 

On the screen was a picture of Jissbon packaging, next to it a description of product features everything was carefully laid out by Zhuang Jiajie, he even described some possible advertising points such as size, comfort and preventing premature.....

"Jissbon's endorsement fee is the highest at the current stage, ¥10 million yuan a year. This fee makes me unable to exclude them and adult products are a necessity, it's easy to get sales, plus your sports attributes, I think there is some relevance. "Zhuang Jiajie calmly explained .

At this time, Tang Yan was vigorously shaking his head, just thinking about his former classmates seeing him endorsing condoms made him uneasy, now imagine if his parents saw him doing so.....

Just thinking of his mother's reaction was enough to put him on edge, yeah this one was a hell no, he valued his life.

Seeing Tang Yan's strong disapproval, Zhuang Jiajie didn't say any more, and clicked the mouse a few times moving past his first pitch.

"The second one is the American firm Hoyt Archery, while a relatively unpopular brand, their sports equipment has great synergy with you, but because archery is not a hot sport, sales aren't really high. The endorsement fee isn't very high, it is $800,000 dollars a year, which is about ¥5 million yuan. "Zhuang Jiajie continued to introduce.

Tang Yan nodded then shook his head.

Archery equipment, this was highly suitable for him to endorse, but this endorsement fee seemed too low especially in comparison with what Jissbon offered.

Seeing Tang Yan contemplating, Zhuang Jiajie went through his points before cutting to the next offer.

"Jinba Menswear, this one is a bit troublesome, because their spokespersons are many, and their spokesman in China is still on contract, their contract would take effect next year, and it would have to be renewed on a yearly basis based on the advertising effect. The current endorsement fee is ¥7 million a year. "Zhuang Jiajie introduced.

"Jinba Menswear, hmm not a bad option." Tang Yan pondered.

Jinba Menswear was a high-end brand, it was a good option for endorsement.

Zhuang Jiajie nodded, and then continued.

They went through a group of high-end brands and a variety of products such as watches, cars, and mobile phones. Generally speaking, the endorsement fees offered fluctuated between 5-7 million yuan.

Tang Yan considering his options was leaning towards Jinba Menswear even though there were other clothing brands, he favoured them slightly more.

When Zhuang Jiajie moved to the last few slides, the last brand was displayed.
