There is a dream called football

Chapter 272 Charity and endorsement
Uncle Sosa called and told Li Qiao that many domestic manufacturers called to ask for endorsements and asked him to choose some.

In fact, the most popular sports star in China at this time is Yao Ming, Liu Xiang, and Li Qiao, and Li Qiao is the fastest rising star. At this time, he can already get very first-line endorsements in China, which means at least tens of millions of endorsements a year.

Li Qiao took a look and finally chose Yili Milk and Ping An Insurance.

However, among the many activities, there is one free endorsement that moved Li Qiao a little bit, that is the organization of UNICEF in China, which helps those children.

Li Qiao recalled some memories from his previous life, that is, Barcelona once endorsed the organization for free for a year, and you must know that Barcelona's chest advertisements are very valuable.

In fact, when people have enough money, it is almost the only choice to devote themselves to charity. This may also be the kind nature of people.

Li Qiao told Sosa that he hoped to meet the person in charge of the China region.

The first is a video call, a middle-aged lady named Lin Shaohong, Li Qiao respectfully called her Miss Shaohong.

"Sister Shaohong, how many years has this organization been in China?"

"It's been more than ten years!"

"What do you want me to do as an endorsement, I'm usually busy with competitions."

Sister Shaohong smiled slightly and said, "We are very clear about this. Your influence is one of the best in the domestic sports circle, and we respect you."

"Thank you."

Sister Shaohong said: "First of all, we need to use your portrait rights."

Li Qiao nodded, "This should be no problem."

"If I don't engage in commercial activities, my portrait rights can be partially used. Of course, I have to seek the consent of Arsenal."

However, Li Qiao reckons that Arsenal will definitely agree, and the club is also very enthusiastic about charity matters.

"In addition, we hope that you can help children, not in terms of money, but in spiritual and psychological aspects. What many left-behind children lack is warmth, not material things."

This Li Qiao was a little embarrassed, "Then how to do it?"

"It's easy, can you record a video?"

Li Qiao thought for a while, and finally nodded, "Let me try it."

The next day, Li Qiao approached Professor Wenger and told the ins and outs of the matter. Wenger laughed.

"This is a good thing, but strictly prevent your image rights and Arsenal from being used in advertising."

"No, it's an organization of the United Nations."

"By the way, how do you want to shoot the video?"

"I don't know, but it must be about dreams."

"dream?"

Wenger nodded. This is a bit confusing for him, but it is not difficult to understand.

"If you need my help, just say it."

Li Qiao nodded, "Thank you, Arthur."

*****
In a certain place in southwest China, there are many left-behind children here, and many of them live with their grandparents.

Seven-year-old Xiaofeng is one of the best boys in his class. He also loves sports, but regarding the future, Xiaofeng is confused and inferior. He knows that his dream is far away from him.

After dinner, Xiaofeng obediently finished his homework before turning on the small TV at home and tuning it to his favorite CCTV5.

Just then, he saw Li Qiao on TV.

"Wow, Li Qiao."

"Is this Li Qiao's new advertisement?"

But Xiaofeng found it very strange, because the picture was in black and white. What the young Xiaofeng didn't know was that the ad was in black and white. He thought it was because his TV was broken.

"Son, do you still remember your childhood dream?"

When the voiceover came from the film, Li Qiao turned his head, "I haven't forgotten."

"But I'm tired, the injuries, the transfers, the pressure of the game, I'm really tired, all people see is money, but no one can see my huge pressure."

"Son, I know you are very tired. When you left home, I advised you not to take such a difficult road, but you said it was a dream."

At this moment, Li Qiao turned around and kicked the ball into the goal, "Dad, I have not forgotten my dream, and I hope that the thousands of children in front of the TV will not forget."

In the end, Li Qiao expressed his love, "I will always be with you."

At this time Xiaofeng also patted his chest, and he suddenly burst into tears, "Li Qiao, I am with you too."

Xiaofeng went under the sofa to take out the worn football. He used the back of his foot to bounce the ball, one, two, three.

He failed when he reached five juggling balls. He used to love football and also learned to juggle the ball, but after a month of wild ball, he gave up because he thought it was impossible. It was impossible for a kid in the mountains to become a player.

So he stuffed the football back under the couch a month later, determined not to have such absurd dreams anymore.

Until now, he has picked up his dream again.

"I can."

When the grandfather entered the room and saw his grandson started playing football again, he smiled slightly, because Xiaofeng was the happiest during the month of playing football, but after he stopped playing football, Xiaofeng became depressed and became dull.

"Grandson, the ball is a bit old. Grandpa will buy you another one."

"Grandpa, there's no need. I'll play it at school tomorrow. It would be better if the ball was whiter."

"Grandpa, I'm going to be a professional player in the future."

"Okay, grandpa supports you."

Although they are left-behind children, grandparents still treat their grandchildren as well as possible, but there are many things they cannot do, such as tutoring and learning, so children are lonely, but football can change all this, because children who play football will not be lonely.

*****
A week later, Li Qiao didn't know Xiaofeng's story until he saw Sister Shaohong's film of a football boy deep in the mountains on the Internet. He played football with his friends in the sand.

The field is bumpy and the goal is marked by two stones, but the children's happiness is real and there is no water.

Li Qiao shed tears. To be honest, Li Qiao thought that charity was used by rich people to pretend to be coercive, but at this moment he realized that even if you don't pay a penny, as long as you really put your heart into it, it is charity.

"Sister Shaohong, I want to give Xiaofeng a jersey and some footballs. By the way, tell me what these children need."

"Then I thank you for Xiaofeng."

A month later, Xiaofeng received a gift from Li Qiao, an Arsenal No. 9, and he was so happy.

"Wow, I love Li Qiao, I love football. He is not willing to wear this dress. He is also reluctant to play the football that Li Qiao gave him. He still uses his worn-out football."

But the seedlings in his heart have been planted, he told himself that he must play football, become a professional player, and run on the green field.
