"I don’t understand, with your talent, why were you only discovered in your sophomore year?" Grover asked Qin Yue with a puzzled look.
Qin Yue couldn’t explain it to Grover.
The original owner of this body did not have such terrifying dynamic talent.
Qin Yue was very clear, he was able to have the current dynamic talent...
Mainly because he transformed his body using Nutritional Supplements provided by the system during his weight loss period and strengthened his body attributes through the twelve phases of rewards provided by the system.
"Maybe it’s the reward God gave me after I found my way back."
At this moment, looking down at Grover, Qin Yue said calmly.
It has to be said that in the United States, God is certainly a convenient excuse that can be used anytime.
At this moment, Grover not only did not doubt Qin Yue’s explanation, but even found it very reasonable.
In April of this year, every day was extremely fulfilling for Qin Yue.
After establishing an initial cooperative relationship with Qin Yue through the "secret line" Rachel, Lynn Merritt, knowing that Michael Jordan favored Qin Yue, also began the next step of action.
As a Nike executive, Merritt was well aware that if Nike wants to extract the maximum value from Qin Yue in the future, Nike must start packaging him now.
Just like they did with James back in the day.
Behind James’ nationwide fame, almost everywhere you could see Nike’s presence.
Seeing this, some might ask, isn’t Nike afraid that after they elevate Qin Yue, he might choose to sign with another major shoe company in the future?
Because the marketing packaging before signing with a player is also a display of Nike’s sincerity toward Qin Yue.
You must know, back then, after losing that bidding battle with Nike, Adi never said they shouldn’t have helped James behind the scenes.
In essence, doing business means maintaining ethical relations even if the deal doesn’t work out.
Today’s display of sincerity by Nike to Qin Yue will also become an important bargaining chip in attracting other stars to join them in the future.
But now the question arises...
Who to choose to create the momentum for Qin Yue?
On this day, among many media reporters with good cooperation with Nike, Merritt was instantly drawn to Pulitzer Prize-winner, The New York Times columnist, Ira Borko.
Earlier, during March Madness, Borko had written a special report on Qin Yue.
He was very interested in Qin Yue, possessed enough experience and reputation, and his reports were always convincing.
Additionally, considering Nike’s future hope of capturing the China market through Qin Yue...
On this day, Merritt even came up with a name with a strong Chinese characteristic for this upcoming packaging:
——Son of China. (Note 3)
"The Son of China becomes renowned across America..."
At this moment, imagining the future, Merritt seemed to see a money tree waving at him...
Yes, this money tree...
Note 1: The weight data for Jordan here is based on interviews with his former teammates and coaches, as well as his personal biography.
It is well known that the official website does not update players’ weight data in a timely manner, which has led to many misconceptions about NBA players’ weights.
For instance, many novels mention keeping Yao Ming at 120 kg to prevent weight gain, but this is simply impossible because Yao Ming’s weight exceeded 130 kg before entering the NBA (approximately 133-135 kg).
Note 2: James’ weight data primarily comes from seven or eight biographies of James collected by Ah Qiao.
Don’t ask why Ah Qiao bought so many different versions of James’ biographies, as I’ve said, I love James far more than those who call themselves James Fans but constantly bring trouble for James.
Note 3: "Son of China" was inspired by the "Son of America" Cooper Flagg, which I have explained before when writing Path of Conquest. Well... actually, Qin Yue’s prototype is the same, only in the book Qin Yue’s talent is even more top-notch.
PS: New book humbly requests for collections, monthly tickets, and recommendation votes.
