Qin Xiong focused on relaxation during the holidays, but he did not stay in the hotel doing nothing every day.
Some new sponsorship contracts required him to shoot endorsement commercials, or last year's sponsorship contract required him to cooperate in shooting new commercials. Freddy personally helped him arrange it. Most of the time, he went to the set and left quickly. Sylvia was always by his side, making his life extremely easy.
July 7th.
Qin Xiong and Tang Le attended the launch of their clothing company's casual wear in Beijing.
His casual wear brand was a combination of the first letters of Qin Xiong's name in Chinese: QX.
At the launch of the casual wear, Qin Xiong and Sylvia appeared in their own brand's casual wear.
Most of the time in the future, Qin Xiong would wear his own brand whenever he wore casual wear. It was expected that in two months, he would also wear casual shoes.
Because he had a large sponsorship contract with a sports brand, he could not promote his own brand's sportswear and shoes. Otherwise, it would be a breach of the contract.
Qin Xiong did not care about this. After all, he did not want his life to be "held hostage" by economic interests.
In Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Xi 'an, and Beijing, the brand's sales stores were the first to open in the five cities. The sales on the opening day were booming. In half a month, more sales channels would be opened. At the same time, the publicity campaign would be launched quickly under Tang Le's operation.
July 9th.
Qin Xiong and his team appeared in Jiangcheng and returned to the place where he came from.
Here, the municipal government leaders participated in the inauguration of the second Jiangcheng Youth Football Home.
In addition to the national sports media, the local media reporters also visited.
Qin Xiong and Sylvia, dressed in QX casual wear, joined hands to hold the listing ceremony for this place that was similar to an orphanage.
In the following speech, Qin Xiong talked a lot about how he grew up in a football home on the other side of the city. It was not tear-jerking, but just how a group of orphans survived in society. This was by no means the lowest level. He believed that there were many orphans in corners that the public could not see and that many orphans needed help.
This was no doubt another publicity campaign to elevate Qin Xiong's personal image. In this regard, Qin Xiong did not ask for any financial return. He was happy to do this without asking for anything in return.
From May to early July, Qin Xiong's public influence and personal image value increased rapidly from the football competition to the public level.
After doing this, he boarded a plane to London. The preparation for the new season was about to begin.
.....
Back in London, Qin Xiong's life returned to peace. Sylvia cleaned the apartment, Qin Xiong cleaned his beloved car in the garage. After a busy afternoon, they went to the familiar restaurant for dinner, chatted with Dean, and then went for a walk in the beautiful park nearby.
Qin Xiong and Sylvia enjoyed this kind of peace. Sylvia's one-year exchange in China ended. She was going back to Amsterdam for her final year of university.
On July 13th, Qin Xiong reported to Arsenal's team. After nearly a month of rest, his physical condition was completely recovered. He was even a little relaxed. Now he had to enter another state to prepare for the new season.
His ambition had not changed. He was full of fighting spirit for the new season. In the coming season, because the national team's schedule was basically a warm-up game, he also had a reason to choose to return to China to participate in the competition based on his physical condition. This allowed him to focus more on the club in the new season.
After a holiday, the teammates gathered again. The veterans sighed. For example, Bergkamp already planned to retire at the end of the season. The young players were ambitious, such as Fàbregas, who also performed well in the FIFA World Youth Championship.
Everyone began a new round of internal healthy competition.
The only thing that troubled Qin Xiong was that when he drove out of the club at the end of the first day of training, he was stopped by the reporters on Fleet Street.
"Will you transfer to Real Madrid?"
"Did Inter Milan's invitation tempt you?"
Real Madrid and Inter Milan launched a substantial purchase offensive for Qin Xiong during the summer transfer window.
The two clubs directly offered 30 million pounds for Qin Xiong, which was an absolutely attractive offer.
Qin Xiong rolled down the window and replied faintly, "I'm very happy here. I haven't considered a transfer."
He was telling the truth. He did not want to cause any more trouble at this time. If he remained silent and did not respond, most of the people would misunderstand that he had the intention to leave or that he was considering the conditions offered by the two teams.
Freddy visited Arsenal's vice chairman Dane's office again today, but they did not talk about Qin Xiong because Dane looked very busy. He directly told Freddy, "We'll talk about Qin Xiong's contract renewal later. I guarantee that Arsenal will give the most sincere contract."
Since the vice chairman had said so, Freddy did not want to pester him.
There was nothing wrong with the first day of training, but on the second day of training, Qin Xiong finally discovered that something was wrong.
Wenger was often distracted on the sidelines, and Vieira was also absent-minded.
At the end of the noon training, the players walked to their respective locker rooms. Qin Xiong walked far away from the training ground when he suddenly looked back. He saw Vieira sitting alone on the training ground in a daze. The scene looked very strange!
Although Vieira was a fiery captain, and he performed his duties well, most of his thoughts were hidden in his heart, and he wouldn't share them with everyone.
After Qin Xiong returned to the locker room, he walked to Bergkamp's side and asked in a low voice, "Dennis, it's not that I'm nosy, but don't you think the captain's condition is a little off today?"
Although Qin Xiong deliberately lowered his voice, it was still heard by Pires and Campbell.
Together with Bergkamp, the three of them looked at Qin Xiong in surprise.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong? "
"You don't know?"
"Know what?"
Bergkamp sighed and said, "Three days ago, the big three of Juventus, Moggi, Bettega, and Giraudo, gathered in London. They came for Patrick."
Qin Xiong actually did not know what the role of the big three of Juventus was, what their status was, and what they did. But through Bergkamp's description, he knew that Juventus had a big shot who came to London and asked Arsenal to buy Vieira!
This time, they were serious!
Real Madrid and Inter Milan did not send a "big shot" to negotiate with Arsenal because they did not have the basis for negotiation.
Qin Xiong was not for sale!
Juventus was just in a deadlock with Arsenal on the transfer fee!
In other words, Arsenal was not certain that Vieira could not enter the market!
