    "This is necessary. Business is business, and friendship is friendship. If the two things are mixed together, the result will be more tragic. This is why I am not willing to be your agent. I can't ignore your request.  , Paul can. Only in this way can we get the maximum benefits for you. Since you have already planned to accept these business contracts, why not maximize the benefits?" Irene gave this answer to Hong Tao's worries, and she didn't.  Worried that Hong Tao would be exploited by Paul, although she could not act as Hong Tao's agent, she could act as a legal advisor and she would read every contract.

    Compared with these commercial contracts, Hong Tao found that the prize money from the competition did not seem to be that important. According to the several commercial contracts that Paul listed for him, which he was optimistic about, Hong Tao could earn nearly 2 million in the next two years.  The sponsorship fees include more than 1 million yuan in various endorsement fees. In addition, a lot of equipment, air tickets, food and accommodation are provided for free.

    In fact, these are not the most tempting. Paul also has an even more tempting plan. Jarden Group, the largest consumer goods company in the United States, has a subsidiary called Purefishing, which specializes in producing various fishing-related supplies.  Not only is it second to none in North America, it also has considerable influence around the world.  This company is interested in getting in touch with Hong Tao to see how they can cooperate to produce the kind of flying lure Hong Tao invented.

    "Hey I can see the money in hand, but I can't take it!" Hong Tao finally rejected the company's kindness.

    It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t want to earn the money, the terms offered by the other party are very attractive, and he also promised to name this artificial bait after Hong Tao.  He couldn't agree. If it was produced in a small workshop, Hong Tao could still find a way to do some tricks on the sponge strips of the artificial bait, just like the special-effect fishing bait he made, but in a large factory like this, using an assembly line  Produced artificial bait.  He has no control at all. Instead of doing it to no avail and ruining his brand, he might as well not do it and let this secret always be with him.  Earning some bonuses every year and attracting some sponsors are enough for myself and Irene to spend.

    "I really don't understand what you are thinking! If you are afraid of exposing your secret, you can keep your secret on the flying lure. If the other party is just borrowing your reputation, they do not require this lure  How is it different from other artificial baits? It¡¯s just a product. You didn¡¯t lie, so why didn¡¯t you agree?¡± Although Paul never interfered with Hong Tao¡¯s decision during the negotiation, he held Hong Tao back after the negotiation.  When he left, he insisted on asking why he did not agree to cooperate with the purefishing company.

    "Are you very willing and happy that I cooperate with them?" Hong Tao did not answer Paul's question, but asked him instead.

    "Of course, even a fool can see that this is very beneficial to you. You can get a good income at almost no cost, and you will also be famous. In the future, your name will be spread throughout North America with this fishing bait.  Even Europe, do you think this is bad?" Paul said his answer without even thinking about it. He said this to Hong Tao more than once.  It doesn¡¯t matter if I say it again.

    "I won't do it if you are happy! Who told you not to contract me the reservoir investment in the first place, which caused my business to fail. In the end, I lost money! Let's regard this as my revenge. Now we are even.  "Okay, you made me feel bad once, and I make you feel bad once, that's fair, right?" Hong Tao really couldn't think of how to answer Paul's question, and he was his agent, so he couldn't help but answer, so he could only be more emotional.  This would leave Paul no room to reason.

    "What's the reason? You're a lunatic! What does it matter if I'm happy or not? Most of the money belongs to you. Do you want to keep me from earning commissions and don't even want your own money?" Paul really let it go.  Hong Tao was confused. He probably had never seen such a bastard before.

    "Hehehe It's almost the same as what you said But only this time, you can find other ways to make money for me. I won't refuse next time." Hong Tao continued to stimulate Paul.  .

    "Youyou are a bastard!!! I refuse to be your agent anymore! I want to terminate your contract! Just wait to receive my lawyer's letter! Crazy! Crazy!" Paul couldn't hold it back in the end.  He cursed all the curse words and got into his car angrily. He started the car without forgetting and cursed again.

    Hong Tao is not afraid of any lawyer's letter he sends, let alone the termination of the contract. People like Paul don't have many friends. On the weekend, he even invited Hong Tao and his wife to go fishing with him on a sailboat off the coast of Miami. He is probably so angry before he returns home.  Disappeared.  Moreover, Hong Tao could only lie to him for a while with this reason. When he figured it out, he realized that Hong Tao was deliberately trying to make him angry so as to cover up the real reason.

    In the second race held at the end of the month, Hong Tao won the championship again without any surprise. This time, the organizing committee and sponsors specially prepared for Hong Tao.A rigid rule is that the four-day competition must be completed and the competition cannot be passive, so Hong Tao fished for the full four days.  With the support of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Hong Tao once again set a new record that he had held for less than a month. The final total weight was more than double that of the second place.

    The results of this competition made Hong Tao's sponsors elated. They felt that the money was well spent. Now Hong Tao's appearance has frequently appeared on TV broadcasts. For two consecutive games, Hong Tao received special care from the TV station and arranged a special boat.  The broadcast boat followed, from beginning to end, never leaving.  In this way, the clothing, shoes and hats, eyes, fishing gear, including lunch that Hong Tao wears, wears on his head, holds in his hands, and uses when fishing will all appear on the camera, and more than once.

    Through these sponsor contracts, Hong Tao finally understood one thing. When he used to watch football games, he always couldn't understand why those players had to run for tens of meters to get in front of the camera after scoring a goal.  To put it in a poss, I am already as tired as my grandson. If I have this little energy, wouldn't it be better to save it for a while and then fight for it?

    In fact, this kind of behavior is not voluntary for athletes, but is stipulated in the sponsorship advertising contract. Even how it appears on TV every year, how many times it appears, and the length and time period of each appearance are clearly stipulated.  , it is also divided into many levels. If you complete that level, you will get the money of that level. If you exceed the limit, there will be additional rewards.  Those athletes were not excited because they scored goals. They were thinking about it as they ran: No one can hold me for another 20 meters, and I will get 20,000 yuan!

    Hong Tao is like this now. When he catches fish, he will deliberately place the logos of merchants who pay more money in front of the camera, and give the merchants who pay less money a side look. Since his whole body of fishing clothes is almost covered with trademarks,  So his posture was sometimes weird, so much so that after Sam came back, he specifically asked him if his waist was injured, or why he was always standing crookedly.

    Hong Tao didn¡¯t tell his father-in-law because the advertisements printed on his left leg, left shoulder, and left chest were more valuable.  After letting them show off their faces a few more times, you can get a high bonus. He just said that his right arm was tired of fishing and he used this position to rest.  Not only was it a matter of standing, but for these advertising contracts, Hong Tao also had to wear wet and smelly fishing clothes and life jackets for several hours after the game, and then go on stage to receive the award. This was also what the sponsors included in the contract.  It is clearly stipulated that you must wear the clothes and shoes of that company when you go to the podium.  Wear a hat, watch, and glasses from that company, and get a drink from that company.  .  .  .  .  .

    Hong Tao even wondered if Paul was deliberately retaliating against himself?  His fishing clothes were almost covered with graffiti, and he planned to go back and ask Paul.  If you put a trademark on your face, one on each cheek, and another one on your forehead, how much can you sell for it?

    Although when competing.  Hong Tao is like a pornographic billboard. He has lost a lot of freedom, but he is no longer tied to his career.  He felt that he was slowly returning to his original life track.  When there is no competition or filming for advertisers, he will drive around the United States with Erin and Sam. Wherever he goes, he will be greeted by familiar fishing friends. Spend the money as you should.  But the quality of food, drink and entertainment is obviously different. After all, it is much more convenient to have the landlord accompanying you.

    Sometimes when I get tired of playing in the United States, I go to Canada to find Lao Gail and Pawei. Several old men and Hong Tao, a middle-aged man, go to Pawei's house to smoke a few puffs of marijuana, and then go to a striptease nightclub to get addicted.  , or call Harrison's humanoid weapons arsenal and find a dead man's shooting range to have fun.  Buy a few tickets at night, go to the stadium and shout to your heart's content. No one can stop you if you want to curse. Anyway, Hong Tao is not a fan of anyone. If you catch someone and curse them, the fans will not be happy if you catch them. Let's do it together.  Swearing.

    In October, Eileen had a reaction and became pregnant. By the end of the year, Hong Tao could already see two small meatballs squirming in Eileen's belly from the ultrasound. She inherited her family's good tradition.  I'm pregnant with twins, identical girls.

    Out of habit, Hong Tao originally wanted Irene to return to Sam's place to have the baby, but Irene didn't listen to Hong Tao. She said she wouldn't need to rest until 8 months later. Taking too much rest now would not be good for the baby. She is still in New York.  He works in his office and often flies to China.

    At the end of the summer of the next year, Hong Tao gave up one of the flw races, and Irene gave birth to twin girls for him.  When Hong Tao saw his daughter outside the operating room, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. The two girls looked like their mothers and did not grow up like themselves. Thank God.

    When the children were one month old, Hong Tao held a full-moon banquet for the two children in Sam's small manor according to Chinese tradition, and sent out invitations and invitations to everyone he knew.The letter also includes a round-trip air ticket to Buffalo. If you can come, you can come. If you can't come, it doesn't matter. He plans to take the child back to China and do it again. Then Eileen will go back with him, and  He quit his job at a law firm in New York and concentrated on running the hunting guide company with Katie.

    During the full-moon wine party, almost everyone came, and there was no room in Sam¡¯s restaurant, so they had to put the rented table on the grass in front of the door.  Drinking the liquor brought by Boss Liu and Fat Boss, we soon entered the drinking stage. I don¡¯t know who first proposed that we go to Africa to go on a group safari. Finally, we reached an agreement, so Hong Tao  With the help of wine, he decided on the spot that when his daughter turns one year old tomorrow, he will carry them to Africa and form an extra-large expedition group, so that they can also experience the path their father walked.

    In October, Hong Tao returned to Beijing. He deliberately flipped through the calendar, checked the weather forecast, and then chose a sunny day. He carried his daughter in a sling and ran to the Taolin Kou Reservoir, and then returned to where he used to fish.  There, in front of Irene, I tied the crystal clear fish scales to a small iron pendant and threw it into the water.

    "Why did you throw it away? Wouldn't it be nice to hang it around your neck? Didn't you always hang it?" Irene didn't understand Hong Tao's move. She always thought it was Hong Tao's amulet, and Hong Tao was also so friendly.  She said it.

    "It was never mine in the first place. It has protected me for many years. Let it leave me. I am already very happy. This happiness did not belong to me in the first place. As a human being, you must be content." Hong Tao looked at the fish scales shaking  It sank slowly into the water, then the light flashed and was no longer visible.

    "Can you still chop me? It's better to stop trying. If you chop me back, I will still live like this in the next life. How boring!" Waiting until the fish scales disappeared, Hong Tao looked up at the sky and stretched out his right hand.  raised his hand with his middle finger.

    At this time, the originally sunny sky suddenly became cloudy, a dark cloud covered the sun, and the wind picked up.  Hong Tao stretched out his hand to hold on to the canopy pole that was being blown around by the strong wind, and shouted in his heart: I will x your mother!  Can¡¯t the weather forecast be accurate once?  Doesn¡¯t it mean it¡¯s sunny all day long?
