Rebirth 1979: Hunting wild boars and saving educated youth

The more Chen Feng read, the more fascinated he became, constantly absorbing the essence of Raj's programming ideas.

At the same time, I also feel excited and satisfied to be able to participate in such a creative process.

In this way, time passed quickly and before I knew it, it was 2 o'clock in the middle of the night.

At this moment, the phone in Chen Feng's bedroom suddenly rang, and the sharp ringtone startled both of them.

Who's calling so late?

Chen Feng's heart tightened, worried that something might have happened to Ning Yao again, and he rushed into the bedroom to answer the phone.

The voice coming from the microphone was not Ning Yao, but Xu Wei, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Wei, however, felt a little disappointed when she heard Chen Feng's voice and asked, "Why, are you still not asleep?"

Hearing this question, Chen Feng reacted and said unhappily: "Why, you deliberately wanted to wake me up, didn't you?"

Xu Wei said, "Yeah, last time you called me despite the time difference and woke me up, so I held a grudge against you. What's going on?" Chen Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Call me and tell me what you want to say."

Xu Wei said excitedly: "Of course it's a good thing. I have already signed the three athletes you wanted to sign as spokespersons."

Chen Feng suddenly became excited. "Tell me more about it," Xu Wei began to talk non-stop, recounting the story of signing Xu Haifeng, Li Ning, and the women's volleyball team as their endorsement. Then he added, "I even took the initiative and donated 100,000 yuan to the Chinese Olympic delegation."

Chen Feng was a little perturbed by what he heard and asked, "Why only 100,000 yuan? What can you do with that little money?" Xu Wei said, "Oh, you big capitalist are really cocky in the US. 100,000 yuan is too little. You know, the entire budget for the Chinese delegation to the Olympics was only 200,000 yuan! I gave them a 50% increase, and it's still not enough!"

Chen Feng felt a little sad when he heard this and sighed, "How tragic!"

Then he asked, "How much do you pay them for endorsements?" Xu Wei replied, "Xu Haifeng and Li Ning are both 10,000, and the women's volleyball team is 20,000. I feel like it's a bit too much. Actually, if we talk about it, maybe we can lower it a little bit! But I'm embarrassed to lower it any further, as it might negatively impact our company's image."

Chen Feng was so confused by what he heard that he couldn't help but think: This is just a small amount of money, and you think it's too much! As expected of an accountant, he is really stingy!

However, he still had to praise them, so Chen Feng said, "Okay, you did a good job. If the delegation needs anything in the future and they find you, then give them some more support. After all, they are also bringing glory to the country!"

Xu Wei said, "As expected of a boss from the United States, you're so generous. Remember to give me a raise when you come back." Then he hung up the phone.

Chen Feng put down the phone with mixed feelings. The domestic sports industry is still very difficult.

Especially when he compared it with the United States, he found that they were incomparable.

The country's Olympic delegation only has a budget of 20 yuan. To be honest, it is not as much as a university basketball team here playing a few games.

It can be seen how hard the athletes’ daily life and training are, and how difficult it is to achieve good results under such circumstances!

Being able to sign these three athletes is definitely a huge leap for his brand building.

After the Olympics are over and these people win gold medals, the Chinese people will be excited, which will definitely give a huge boost to his sales.

It seems that I have to remind Xu Wei later that the new product can be launched!

The next morning, Chen Feng took Yao Ning to buy a car.

They walked into the car dealership with great anticipation, and the first car they saw was the AMC Eagle, a masterpiece of the American Motors Corporation.

The AMC Eagle 4x4 was first launched in 1980 and was equipped with a 4.2-liter inline six-cylinder Bumblebee engine. Its cool appearance and powerful performance immediately attracted the attention of Chen Feng and Ning Yao.

At this time, a female salesperson with a bloated figure and rough makeup came over.

Her blonde hair was tied back in a messy pile, the foundation on her face couldn't completely cover up her acne and spots, and there was a mean look in her eyes.

Chen Feng politely asked her about the vehicle's price, configuration, and after-sales service.

The female salesperson, however, crossed her arms over her chest, squinted her eyes, and deliberately made a squinting expression. She said in a sarcastic tone, "This is not a car that you Chinese can afford. Don't waste my time." As she spoke, she curled her lips in contempt.

Chen Feng's expression instantly darkened, and he suppressed his anger and said, "What's your attitude? Why do you think the Chinese can't afford it?"

The saleswoman sneered and raised her voice: "Humph, how many Chinese people are rich here? You yellow monkeys, stop pretending."

Ning Yao's face flushed with anger as she shouted, "This is blatant discrimination. We're going to file a complaint against you!"

The saleswoman shrugged nonchalantly and scoffed, "Whatever you want, you can't afford it anyway."

Chen Feng was furious. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing after being in the United States for so long. If it was any other dispute, he would just give in, but he absolutely could not give in in this kind of situation.

So Chen Feng said, "I'm warning you now. You must apologize for this matter because it involves discrimination against customers and their race. If you don't apologize, I won't rule out using my own methods to resolve the issue."

After hearing this, the saleswoman became even more arrogant. She put her hands on her hips and cursed, "You poor, yellow monkeys, get out of here right now and go wash dishes in a Chinese restaurant. This is not the place for you! You'll never be able to afford a car like this in your lifetime. Don't embarrass yourself here!"

Hearing this, Ning Yao's face turned pale with anger and his body trembled slightly.

Chen Feng said coldly: "Since you are like this, I will complain to your manager."

At this time, a tall man in a well-ironed suit who looked like a manager walked over quickly.

His hair was neatly combed, he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes were sharp, and his face was serious. He heard a quarrel outside the office, so he came out to check it out.

When he came over, he asked what was going on. He looked at the saleswoman, frowned, and asked, "Why are you arguing with the customer?"

The saleswoman bit back, crying with a look of grievance on her face, "Manager, these two people came in and couldn't afford to buy a car. Then they deliberately vandalized it and made a lot of noise. It was very uncivilized and scared away other customers, so I asked them to leave."

The manager named Richard turned to Chen Feng, looked at him closely, and asked, "Sir, is that so?"

Chen Feng suppressed his anger, straightened his back, looked at the manager firmly, and said, "Manager, that's not what she said at all. We came here sincerely to buy a car and were very interested in it. We asked her about it, but she not only had a bad attitude, but also racially discriminated against and insulted us. This is extremely disrespectful to us, and I hope you can handle it fairly."
