Chapter 159

Witnessed by hundreds of people, the opening ceremony of the "Leo" Jinling flagship store officially began.

Bald Meng Fei, the host of Jiangsu Province Satellite TV, was invited to preside over the ceremony.

Jinling City Vice Mayor Xie, who is in charge of sports and culture, Leo, two Inter Milan players and several people in charge of Deji cut the ribbon for the opening of the "Leo" Jinling flagship store.

Today, Xinjiekou Deji is filled with people wearing blue and black jerseys.

Dozens of media outlets, including CCTV, provincial TV stations and a number of online media, were also present, holding long guns and short guns.

All this surprised many people who didn't know the truth.

"Good guy, what's the origin of this store?"

Leo did not wear a formal suit today, but chose a classic sweatshirt from his own brand.

There is only a small iconic LOGO printed on the chest, which is the registered trademark using his bow and arrow movements.

Leo himself is handsome and has a good figure, and he looks even better when he puts on this dress.

"Thank you to the mayor for coming to give guidance despite your busy schedule. I have caused you trouble."

"Don't say that. You are a young and promising person who has accomplished great things at a young age. You are worth learning from!"

Leo had a polite smile on his face, but he was complaining in his heart that Li Guofu had left all these matters to him.

Boss Li originally had a role in cutting the ribbon, but Li Guofu himself declined.

But Leo also knew that Mayor Xie agreed to attend because of his own face.

Otherwise, how could a small, unknown domestic brand open a store in Deji and have the mayor come to cut the ribbon?

It’s not because of the influence of Leo, an “international star”.

After saying hello, Mayor Xie left a few words of encouragement and left in a hurry. He still had a meeting to hold in the province.

"You really took the time to come here. It's so honorable."

Leo put away the Mayor Xie's business card handed over by the Mayor's secretary just now and sighed in his heart.

No matter what, it looks like today's opening was relatively successful.

They didn't even have any big promotions, but there was already a long queue of customers in front of the store.

The 100-inch large screen at the entrance of the store now repeatedly plays the blessings of Inter Milan's champion coach Mourinho, Barcelona star Ibrahimovic, Manchester United striker Berbatov, and the popular Premier League star Gareth Bale. Short film.

That's right, Leo is so impressive now.

This also made some passers-by who were just passing by and didn't know what brand it was, also became curious.

"Uncle Guofu, this can't be done. Find someone to maintain order. There are too many people. Please don't get into trouble later!"

There were quite a lot of people opening the store in Yuhang before, but no Inter Milan stars came that day. Can this be the same? !
  So Li Guofu completely misjudged today's situation, and he quickly went to find the store manager and Deji's security personnel.

Even so, just a few security guards couldn't control hundreds of enthusiastic fans.

There was no other way, Leo could only take action personally.

"Everyone, don't worry! Calm down and get in line! We have enough stock, no need to rush to buy!"

Then Leo paused,
  "The new store opens today. Anyone who spends more than RMB 2...5,000 in the store will have the opportunity to take a photo with us."

"Oh! This is a great activity!"

"Really? I want to buy ten pieces..."

"Great! It's not in vain!"

Balotelli was a little scared. He didn't know why some fans wearing Inter Milan jerseys looked at him as if they were about to be eaten by hungry wolves.

"Boss, what did you just say? Why did they all react like this?"

Leo opened his mouth but didn't make a sound. He was also a little panicked.

There are so many people, don’t they all want to get autographs and take photos?
  Facts have proved that Leo underestimated the spending power of "ordinary people" in Jinling at the end of 2009.

That is to say, the mobile network is not as developed as it will be in the future. It would be strange if we waited ten years after the rise of short videos and mobile live broadcasts to teach him how to behave and not block him in the store until Deji closed at ten o'clock in the evening.

Leo and the others were busy until four o'clock in the afternoon, but the number of people coming and going did not seem to change.

After enduring the pain in his right hand and signing an autograph for a middle-aged Inter Milan fan, Leo raised his head, rubbed his neck and said in surprise:
  "Damn it, why are there so many people?"

You must know that from morning to now, they didn't even bother to eat lunch and just took a few bites.

It is expected that there will be a peak of crowds in the evening. After all, the opening day is Christmas Eve, which is the picture.

However, Leo couldn't control it anymore. His legs were numb and his feet were weak from being tired during the day and he couldn't hold on any longer.

He didn't care. He had a share of all the money made in this store. Balotelli and Thornton were invited by him to help, so it's not good for them to continue to work so hard.

No matter, Leo really can't sign.

“Thank you all for your support, and I know some of you have come from far away.

But I really couldn’t hold on any longer. From morning till now, Mario and I didn’t even have time for lunch.

So please understand, we have to take a break. "

Worried about riots at the scene, Leo still thought of a way.

"In this way, for everyone who spent more than 5,000 today but did not get the opportunity to sign and take photos, we will leave your contact information and address.

I will provide compensation in the future. I really appreciate everyone’s support! "

Leo has thought about it. After returning home, he will buy a batch of Inter Milan jerseys, sign them and give them each one as compensation. This should satisfy them.

After appeasing the enthusiastic customers in the store, Leo could finally take a breath.

He said to Balotelli and Thornton, who were also tired and numb:
  "Let's go, I'll take you to dinner first, and have a good time after dinner!"

Upon hearing what Leo said, David Thornton instantly became energetic, and the light shone in his tired eyes again.

"Really? Where should we go to have fun tonight?"

"1912, I promise you will have a good time drinking it!"     …

The grand opening event of "Leo's" Jinling flagship store in Deji was so successful that Leo did not make another trip to Yuhang as originally planned.

The advertising shooting was also transferred to Jinling and was completed at once.

"Uncle Guofu, I feel safe leaving these matters to you. Let's make this brand bigger and stronger together!"

"You're right! Make it bigger and stronger!"

"You have to worry about the rest. There is no place in the country that needs me. I still have something to do over there, so I will go back to Italy first. I will come back next time when I have time."

Despite Li Guofu's repeated attempts to stay, Leo decided to return to Italy early.

As for the two brats Balotelli and Thornton, they said they didn’t even have time to take a stroll last time.
  Since I came to China this time, I just decided to play until the end of the holiday and then go back, and I didn't want Leo to follow me anymore.

How could Leo not understand their thoughts, but thinking that these two people would not encounter any danger in China, he didn't bother to care about them.

"I hope they won't harm a few Chinese girls. The two brats are not thinking about business every day."

Before leaving, Leo not only prepared a few gifts for Balotelli and Thornton, but also brought a large box of his own brand of clothes to take back and give away.

Originally, he wanted to talk to Li Guofu about his next move to Italy, but he felt that he hadn't decided yet, so he might as well wait until Italy sorted things out.

Milan Malpensa Airport,

A flight of more than ten hours was still difficult even in first class. After getting off the plane, Leo was dragging his luggage in a state of depression.

However, Leo, who was in a hurry to go home, was stopped by the customs with a confused look on his face.

"Sorry, please cooperate with our investigation."

A young female customs officer didn't seem to know Leo and took his passport.

However, two men in uniform dragged Leo's box away for investigation, and he was taken to an empty room.

"You wait here."

Only then did Leo realize what was going on.

Still too young to have forgotten this.

Leo looked embarrassed. He really didn't expect this situation to happen.

He had too many unpacked clothes in his suitcase, so he was rightly misunderstood.

"But since I only brought such a box, you wouldn't think I was smuggling, right?"

The person was detained and the box was searched. Leo was just too embarrassed to remember who to contact immediately for help.

Just wait like this. At worst, you will have to pay the customs duties later, so there shouldn't be any big problem.

After sitting quietly in an empty room and waiting for a while, someone finally came in.

Not the young female customs officer who detained him just now, but a middle-aged man with a big beard.

"Are you Leo? Leo from Inter Milan?"

The other party still had Leo's Italian passport in his hand, and he looked at it again before handing it back.

"It's all right now, you can go."

This was the first time that Leo felt so embarrassed after being recognized, and he forced a smile.

"I am, I am really unintentional...what?"

The other party laughed and shook Leo's hand.

"Haha, I said it's okay. It was all a misunderstanding. Just be careful next time and don't bring so many."

Then he leaned into Leo's ear and whispered:
  "Are we sure of the Champions League this year? Since Barcelona has won the championship, there should be hope, right?"

"Hehehe."

Leo could only continue to hide his embarrassment with a smile.

So Leo was let go and the box was returned, not a single thing was missing.

Thanks to Leo's reputation in Milan, the customs leaders believed that he would not and did not need to do anything illegal.

Moreover, the brand "Leo" has never been seen in Italy, and it is difficult to judge the value.

In their opinion, the price of this box of clothes might not be as much as Leo's day's salary.

So it was easy to accept Leo's explanation that these were the explanations he gave to his teammates. In the end, he just gave a few reminders to make good friends and settle matters.

"Wait a moment!"

Leo just walked a few steps when he was called out like this, and he felt panicked.

"I forgot to ask for your signature. If I don't have your signature, I won't believe my son if I tell him what happened today."

Leo's face was hurt. He wanted to keep the other party secret, but then he thought that maybe being reported was also a way of publicity?

And it's free advertising. The only drawback is that Leo will be a little embarrassed.

After hurriedly walking out of the airport, Leo didn't want to stay for another minute, he was so embarrassed.

Driving through the streets of Milan, Christmas has just passed and the festive atmosphere has not yet dissipated.

The shops on both sides of the road are still hung with Christmas decorations.

This kind of customs, which is completely different from that of China, also makes Leo feel a little emotional.

He should be more familiar with this place. Only when he returns to Milan will he feel at ease.

By the way, it’s time to buy a house of your own and move out.

"What? You want to move out? No! You feel like your wings have become stiff and you want to break away from your parents?
  I don't agree! "
