Back then, Qingdao High School paid a huge price in order to recruit Sawamura.
A man who led the team to two national championships in middle school!
For a giant like Qingdao High School, it has a fatal attraction. Needless to say, they haven't scored in Koshien for five years in a row. Even in the recent period, they had a smooth ride in Jiaziyuan, and at this time they urgently needed to recruit talents like Sawamura.
A person like Sawamura, even if he can't use it himself, can't give it to others.
When Sawamura graduated, he was invited by almost all the high school giants in the country.
Including Daocheng Industrial and City University Sangao in West Tokyo.
These two schools have their own ace, and even the ace of Daocheng Industry is in the second grade.
For a while, they didn't need Sawamura's participation. But even so, they still didn't give up and recruited Sawamura.
The purpose is the same as the above, even if I don't need it for a while, I can't leave Sawamura to others. And in the pitcher position, no one will despise the number of people who are available.
Compared with these national-level giants, Qing Dao does not have any advantages. But it needs Sawamura more than those giants, so they pay more and show more sincerity.
The position of the main force, the quota of the first army, the scholarship, the tuition fee is free...
Needless to say.
Qing Dao High School even promised that after Sawamura graduated, even if Qing Dao High School didn't have good grades at the time, they would recommend Sawamura to a professional team they knew well.
Send it to the show!
Qingdo High School sent an invitation to Sawamura almost at the lowest level.
And that's not counting, Takashima Rei also gave the school some rights that the school didn't have.
In short, it's money.
Or an opportunity to make money.
Sawamura can be used as an image spokesperson to endorse some brands of the Takashima family.
To this end, the Takashima family has to pay Sawamura Eijun a lot of money.
This is equivalent to adding a scholarship to Sawamura in disguise.
Although Sawamura himself is not interested in these things, he is also open to anyone who comes, and he will never let it be left outside if he can get it in his pocket.
After the cooperation, the Takashima family suddenly discovered that there was a huge business opportunity in Sawamura, and they found a representative of Sawamura. They did not help Sawamura to improve his reputation, but their own sales had grown considerably.
Before and after the collaboration, Sawamura boosted Takashima's overall sales by four percentage points.
These four percentage points may seem like a lot, but they can't hold Takashima's family's great business.
Businessmen who have enjoyed the sweetness will naturally not let the gold mine of Sawamura go, and they will immediately sign more endorsement contracts with Sawamura.
It was also at this time that they learned that Sawamura himself also endorsed three brands.
His business income is more than most current professional baseball players.
The managers of the Takashima family suddenly felt that they couldn't play anymore.
They have also invited many stars, and there are not many stars like Sawamura who have the ability to attract money.
The most terrifying point is that Sawamura is not very famous except for being famous in the baseball circle.
But his fans are all **** fans.
They were willing to throw money at Sawamura.
What does this mean? This shows that if Sawamura is more famous, his business potential is unlimited.
"The cooperation with Sawamura must be maintained for a long time!"
Since then, the Takashima family immediately established such a rule.
Until many years after Sawamura's professional retirement, their cooperation with Sawamura has not been interrupted.
Also uninterrupted, there is Sawamura's first advertiser.
Hirota!
This time, the person responsible for the shooting was owned by the Hirota family.
Because the Hirota family has invested in a large number of movies and TV series, they are unique in the production of commercials.
According to their contract with Sawamura, there are two promotional shoots a year. In these two publicity shoots, it was not that Sawamura took the initiative to find them, but that they took the initiative to find Sawamura.
The Takashima family has all tasted the sweetness, not to mention the Hirota family who cooperated with Sawamura from the beginning.
This kind of dedication they are now making to Sawamura is also what Sawamura used his own strength in exchange.
Sawamura is currently living in Qingdao High School, and the shooting of advertisements naturally requires the permission of Qingdao High School.
Of course, Sawamura couldn't worry about this kind of thing, so the Hirota family made such a request to Qingdao High School.
After receiving the request, the chubby principal was all excited.
Faced with the best filming unit in the country, how could he miss such a good opportunity?
"Come on, come on, let's shoot on the campus of our Qingdao High School. In this way, you can also feel the living conditions of Sawamura classmates more realistically."
In one go, he agreed to the advertiser's request to shoot a promotional video in Qingdao, and offered to cooperate by the way.
When I come, can I take a photo of the admission advertisement of Qingdao High School.
Don't worry, we pay.
The shooting of the Hirota family is not something you can hire if you have money. There is no shortage of such cooperative people.
Reaching out and not hitting the smiling face, with the bond of Sawamura, considering that there will inevitably be a request from Qingdao High School in the future, the shooting unit of the Hirota family agreed immediately.
So this time, they came with a double shooting mission.
One was of course filming an advertisement for Sawamura's sneakers, and the other was filming the admissions video of Qingdao High School by the way.
In the past, the admission videos of Qingdao High School were all shot by the school's own camera team.
You can only say that it has intentions, how good it is, and it is definitely not possible to talk about.
Now the chubby principal, decided to shoot an official one.
This official video, of course, also focuses on the baseball team of Qingdao High School.
When this question was reported to Kataoka, Kataoka was a little silly.
Wasn't this a hoot in the days leading up to the summer big?
But the players were very enthusiastic about it.
Recently, the pace of training at Qingdao High School has also slowed down. The players themselves don't dare to blindly train more. The most important thing at this time is to ensure their own strength.
Breakthrough, of course!
Can blind training break through? If not, there is a greater chance of injury.
Unless there are players who feel that they may make a breakthrough in a short period of time, most players choose to stay the same.
They will use their familiar rhythm and the most stable state of mind to welcome the upcoming summer competition.
Such waiting is very boring.
Suddenly a shooting team came, just in time to adjust.
Kataoka also realized the mood of the players, especially at Ochiai's suggestion, he nodded in agreement, this time shooting.
"If you really have the confidence to enter the Jiaziyuan, of course, the more famous the players are, the better. This will have a huge help and influence on their future career planning."
Everything is for the future of the children.
For this reason, Kataoka had no way of rejecting it.
