Be required to come to Guangzhou twice a year.
At present, Dick has been regarded as a sunset sport in Britain. After the ban on tobacco sponsorship, the commercial promotion of some traditional events, such as the British Championship, has also encountered difficulties, and the income of players has also shrunk dramatically. Players turned their attention to China. At present, among the top 16 players in the world, 14 players have signed contracts with enterprises in China, and O 'Sullivan, the world's first player, is no exception, and signed a billiards enterprise in Guangdong.
In the contract with the sponsor, O 'Sullivan will come to Guangzhou twice a year to attend the sponsor's activities. O 'Sullivan participated in a sponsor's promotion activity in Guangzhou before other contestants arrived.
At that time, the gimmick that was popularized was that the southwest region was suffering from a once-in-a-century drought, so O 'Sullivan and a certain media jointly organized the "Southwest Disaster Relief Plan". The plan includes that O 'Sullivan will donate RMB yuan to the disaster-stricken areas in southwest China for every shot above 100 in China Open, and the same amount will be donated for promotion. If he can get full marks, both of them will donate RMB at the same time. O 'Sullivan's behavior has also been widely praised by fans.
No.65438 +0 club shoots cabbage price.
One part of this activity is shooting, and one * * * has to shoot three items. One is the O 'Sullivan Signature Club, the other is the opportunity to have lunch with O 'Sullivan, and the other is the opportunity to compete with O 'Sullivan on the same stage. Promote and be responsible for the shooting venue and cooperate with the media to release resources. However, according to the promotion consideration, the media should invite their customers to participate in the auction, so as to bid high. Unexpectedly, the shooting scene was relatively deserted. The starting price of O 'Sullivan's signature club was 100 yuan. After four price increases, it was finally sold at 1 000. By this time, O 'Sullivan's face was already ugly. The organizer looked a little silent and everyone was not interested. Finally, he decided to take the opportunity to have lunch with O 'Sullivan and compete on the same stage. The price was not high, so he finally managed to close the deal at 1. 1 10,000.
"After the filming, O 'Sullivan looked very depressed. I think his face is blue. The scene is really embarrassing. "An on-site person told the reporter," In fact, O 'Sullivan has never been very happy at this event, mainly because the promotion is amateur. O 'Sullivan was very angry when he left. I guess it affected his mood. "
Feeling depressed, "actively losing"
"O 'Sullivan felt cheated. The signature club of the world's first person was auctioned as cabbage price, which is unacceptable in any project, not to mention O 'Sullivan's stubborn personality. " In this mood, I participated in the China Tournament and met the host player Tian Pengfei in the first round. O 'Sullivan's "initiative to lose" behavior is very obvious. After the game, while everyone was still betting on O 'Sullivan's game, British teenager Zhang Anda revealed that O 'Sullivan had already booked a plane ticket back to England the next day before the game. One detail is that in the match with Tian Pengfei, when the score reached 2:2, O 'Sullivan asked Zhang Anda to hurry back to the hotel to pack his bags. "He just wants to go back to England as soon as possible, and I don't know why." Zhang Anda said in an interview with reporters.
A first-class quality club is worth several thousand yuan or even ten thousand yuan. According to the on-site personnel, this club is excellent, even if it is not top-notch, the value of the club is not less than RMB. The club signed by O 'Sullivan only won 6.5438+10,000 yuan, which is really embarrassing. In contrast, Yao Ming's four signature basketballs all won 10,000 yuan, and the gap is clear at a glance. "He felt humiliated in China. He is the spokesman of this project, just like Schumacher in F 1, Jordan in basketball and Diego Maradona in football. He is highly respected in England. When his arrogant heart was hurt by a beat, the psychological gap was really hard, so he had the initiative to lose the game. " An insider who followed O 'Sullivan said.
