The Point Guard is Here

When the three NBA "young heroes" appeared at the promotional event in Ginza the next day, Hardaway's poor sense of superiority was destroyed and wiped out.

Grant Hill also looked dumbfounded, they had never seen this scene before.

The population of the United States is far less dense than that of East Asia. Although the two successors of Jordan in the NBA have experienced many big scenes.

But now this picture... He really has never seen it before.

The entire square was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. Almost everyone was excitedly shouting Fan Xi's name and the slogan of MVP.

More than 90% are young people, and at least 70% of the 90% young people are girls.

For the younger generation in Japan, Fan Xi is the peerless male protagonist who came out of the juvenile manga: handsome, powerful, and super charismatic.

Fan Xie’s experience of winning the finals MVP in the strongest basketball league on the other side of the ocean has become a record of worship for young people. In the eyes of the Japanese, the United States is supreme, and blacks are the masters of basketball.

However, this handsome, idol-looking teenager conquered the NBA.

How can this not make people crazy and proud.

Fan Xi probably guessed last night that today would be crazy, because he saw an introduction about himself on the TV in the hotel.

Although he couldn't understand what the host said on TV, the passionate tone made him feel that everything around him was on fire. Moreover, at the end, there was a still photo of Fan Xi holding up the MVP trophy, with the text: Standing on the top of the NBA mountain の Asian handsome boy! The Dragon of the East! Takeover! !

Fan Xi used his Chinese to read the Japanese on TV.

However, he was still a little surprised when he saw the crowds and tens of thousands of people chanting his English or Chinese name.

Delfina next to him told him: It seems that the poll I did before is still biased. In a week, your popularity has skyrocketed again. They worship you as the pride of Asia, a cultural symbol.

Fan Xi frowned, he felt more than that. Because there are already excited female fans throwing close-fitting cups at him.

This can scare the organizers.

Fan Xi felt like a traffic star, and those girls obviously sought after him as an idol.

Americans have a hard time understanding this behavior.

In Western culture, chasing stars is far less crazy than in Asia.

Hardaway finally realized that the hundreds of people he had yesterday were nothing at all, and Fan Xi was the real popularity.

He felt unbalanced again.

Obviously I am more skilled at the game, and obviously I am more handsome, why are these Japanese girls not so crazy about me?

It was clearly a publicity campaign by three people, but in the end the protagonist became Fan Xi alone.

As long as Fan Xi held the microphone, there would be waves of commotion below.

When he finally left the scene, Grant Hill and Anfernee Hardaway even passively became Fan Xi's bodyguards, protecting him from the tight environment.

The NBA executives are extremely happy about this. Several special interviews were arranged in the hotel, and the local TV station arranged for people to come to the interview one by one to give them face. Even...Grant Hill and Anfernee Hardaway both benefited from this, and the NBA bundled sales: interviewing Van Heed with interviewing Hill or Hardaway.

You have to give face to the two Jordan successors.

What if one of these two becomes the top card in the NBA in the future.

Although Fan Xi is very popular, in the basketball circle, his potential is considered to be the bottom of the three.

But this does not affect the sharp increase in Fan Xi's business value.

The Fila brand decided on the spot to increase the launch of Fanhee sneakers in Asia and increase advertising.

Delfina is also more confident, and she has gained greater initiative in negotiations with Japanese companies.

It didn't take long for her to close two deals. One is a Canon camera and the other is a Mitsubishi.

The two manufacturers reached a global endorsement contract with Fan Xi.

In the next two years, Fanhee will receive an after-tax income of 500,000 U.S. dollars from them each year. The price of the comeback was two simple TV commercials and permission to use Fanhee's specific photos in the promotion. At the same time, they also need to ensure that Fan Xi's commercials need to be broadcast in prime time on all TV stations in Asia.

If it wasn't for Delphine's high demands, Fan Xi would have gotten more sponsorship contracts. Although the Japanese economy has suffered serious bubbles in recent years, it is still the most prosperous place in Asia.

The NBA team stayed in Japan for four days.

Due to Fan Xi's high popularity, he originally had three outdoor activities, but they all gave up due to security reasons. Therefore, he accepts media interviews every day in a hotel suit.

On the contrary, the two successors of Jordan are promoting everywhere under the sun... In addition to the official NBA activities, there are also promotional activities for their sneakers. Grant Hill and Hardaway go hand in hand.

When I came back and heard that Fan Xi had easily pocketed millions of dollars while sitting in the hotel, I felt like my lungs would explode.

In fact, this is only preliminary income. Once Fanchee's sneakers fully enter the Asian market, he will get more and more capital flow.

In the interview on the last day, Nippon TV also specially invited a manga artist.

The cartoonist is the author of "Slam Dunk". His works are extremely popular in Japan and have also brought a hot basketball craze to society.

When he saw Fan Xi, he was very excited.

He held Jack's hand in both hands: "I thought Asians could reach the pinnacle of basketball only through fantasy works, but you did it in real life."

Then, he also said that he would create a new character for Fan Xi in the comics, which would appear in the national competition.

National competition?

When Fan Xi heard the words from the translator, his heart tightened inexplicably, and he was filled with infinite expectations.

"You have brought me too much shock, which other NBA stars can't give at all." Takehiko Inoue said excitedly.

Fan Xi encouraged him to work hard.

Then, when Takehiko Inoue asked him for a signed basketball, he proposed to Takehiko Iyama that he wanted to watch his work.

Inoue Takehiko was flattered, he was already ready.

Fan Xi looked it up on the spot, and he had a natural sense of familiarity.

So much so that he put himself into it.

He even asked Takehiko Inoue: "Are the two leading actors Dennis Rodman and Michael Jordan?"

Takehiko Inoue said that there are shadows of them.

Vanhee then said that you did have foresight. I knew from the 90s that the two of them would play on the same team.

Great works seem prophetic.

Fanhee has been watching this production during the flight to South Korea.

The atmosphere in the private plane is a bit delicate.

Hardaway finally realized that this was Fanhee's home court. He was no longer so arrogant, but he was full of sour water.

Hill has been communicating with the team about his sneakers.

This is a gentleman, he even hopes that the price of his sneakers can be lower, so that more people can wear his sneakers.

The plane arrived in South Korea, and as soon as he got out of the airport, Fan Xi felt the enthusiasm of the people on the peninsula.

It's even crazier here than in Japan, with countless people screaming and shouting Fan Xi's name. Fan Xi even saw someone holding a sign in English: Fan Xi Korean.

This place completely regards Fan Xi as one of his own.

Besides, Vanhee is blowing a whirlwind of jack here.

"You are definitely the player with the most fans among NBA players." Grant Hill looked at the shocking scene and said with emotion.

"Are you sure they are fans?" Hardaway said disapprovingly.

He felt that these crazy women came up just to touch Fan Xi's body, and he was proud of touching Fan Xi's body.

He couldn't understand what these women were thinking. I didn't know that Little Jack was already well-known in New York, and he was rumored to have sex with two or three female celebrities.

Fan Xi's time in South Korea is almost like a replica of Japan, except that he participated in two gymnasium activities. At other times, he also accepts media interviews at the hotel.

Interestingly, South Korea also sent a female star to interview Fan Xi. A girl named Jin Xishan came to Fanxi. She is also 18 years old, the same age as Fan Xi, but at this time she has not yet entered the university campus, she just got the favor of a TV station and let her become a host. .

Fan Xi was deeply impressed by this sweet-looking girl's generous performance in the interview.

The 30-minute interview was full of talking and laughing, giving people a pleasant atmosphere.

And this interview was played uncut that night, and even the part where Fan Xi gave Kim Hee-sun a signed basketball after the interview was also edited.

Fan Xi's evaluation of Kim Hee-sun made the Korean people infinitely happy.

Fan Xi said that Jin Xishan was the most suitable image of an oriental beauty in his mind, which made Jin Xishan, a fledgling girl, get unprecedented attention, and to a certain extent, it gave a strong push to Jin Xishan's popularity.

Many viewers even wrote to the TV station, saying that Jack and Kim Hee-sun are a match made in heaven, and that Kim Hee-sun should find a way to keep Fan Hee in Korea and play for Korea in the future. He also said that South Korea recognizes dual citizenship. If Jack joins the South Korean team, South Korea will easily win medals in the Olympics.

These Korean local rumors did not reach Fan Xi's ears.

Because he left South Korea early and went to Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Before he left, Delfina got him a two-year endorsement contract with an annual salary of 500,000 US dollars after tax from Samsung Group.

The price of this endorsement was the sky-high price in the 90s.

Even after 20 years, it will still be a price that can only be obtained by top-tier first-line stars.

From this we can see how amazing Fan Xi's influence is.

Fan Xi didn't realize how useful the finals MVP trophy was until now. When the bank's numbers increased rapidly, he realized... how successful he was in picking up the mistakes.

In Hong Kong and Taiwan of China, Fan Xi’s popularity is still high.

Fan Xi is already the most prestigious male athlete in Asia and also the most accomplished male athlete in mainstream commercial events. Most importantly, his image is very much in line with the tastes of East Asian people.

People in East Asia have always had a special liking for young heroes. Those handsome young men who have become famous all over the world have always been the objects of praise in TV dramas and literary works.

In Greater China, Fanxie also got two endorsements from Europe. Fanxie became the spokesperson of a shampoo brand. Sell ​​Van Chee.

Let Fan Xi appear on every TV channel in Greater China, and on every supermarket shelf.

Delphine cares a lot about this.

She looks farther than the Hardaway team and the Hill team.

When Fan Xi entered Beijing, his bank account already had close to four million dollars.

This gives him more room to operate.

The surprising thing is that in mainland China, Fan Xi received far less praise than the four places he had been to before.

After all, the current China has not yet entered the era of rapid development, and the NBA is not popular in China. A lot of information is not disseminated.

Although many people come to the activities held by the NBA, there are more people watching the excitement than real fans.

Fan Xi was interviewed by many media. People were very concerned about this young man who had made a name for himself in a foreign country, and wanted to ask him how he achieved success.

Fan Xi did not bring a speech on success.

The first thing he did was to restore his household registration, and then he told everyone that he was 100% Chinese, and he did not mix up the nationality of other countries on the other side of the ocean.

This has caused some incomprehension in the society. At this time, some people still have unrealistic fantasies about going abroad.

For example, Fan Xi bought a courtyard house in the city center for $100,000 in Beijing. The landlord happily took the money and went to the United States to pursue his dream of getting rich.

What's interesting is that the people around also scolded Fan Xi for being taken advantage of.

Buying such a broken house for 100,000 US dollars is a bit big, but what's the use?

On the contrary, Fan Xi felt very at ease, and he planned to stay in the country for a while.

He even revealed that he would buy a few more houses.

As a result, there were a lot of responders all of a sudden, and Fan Xi became a model of being taken advantage of in some people's eyes.

Fan Xi did not refute.

Not only courtyard houses are bought, old houses are also bought, and shops facing the street are all accepted.

In less than a week, he completed three sets of courtyard houses, four houses, and five facades in the city center.

All in all, less than $1 million was spent.

Fan Xi thought it was a good deal.

Others thought the kid was a fool.

Many people clamored to sell the house to this big fool, but the big fool turned around and went to Shanghai.

When he arrived in Shanghai, Fan Xi still bought a house.

And still buy those villas in the city center, as well as those shops on Huaihai Road and Nanjing Road.

People in Shanghai are smarter, so Fan Xi bought two villas, three western-style buildings, and four shops for more than two million dollars.

The money is spent.

Even Delphine felt a little confused, and she asked Fan Xi: Are you so optimistic about China's real estate industry?

"no."

Fan Xi shook his head, and he said, "I just want to go back to China and spend some time collecting rent. The person I envied the most was our landlord. He doesn't have to do anything, just collect rent while lying down."

Ah!

Delphine really didn't expect Fan Xi to have such a dream.
