Director Chou takes Nike stocks, talks but doesn't move, good friend Liu Geng Hong checks the stuff
by kelvin@multistars - 7th September 2004Yesterday afternoon, after Jay ended the album sales celebration party at the Far East Hotel, he went directly to the Nike store at the East District to take stocks. Due to the fact Nike sponsor artists, they can get free stuff, he was so happy he unleashed his "leadership" abilities, commanding good friend Liu Geng Hong and staff to move and take like crazy, he also used the company's Mazda van as a goods van. He was indeed serious when taking free stuff!
Originally Director Chou was not a Nike sponsored artist, under good friend Liu Geng Hong's wire pulling, he got the sponsor of Nike commercial products, not only this they didn't move by per "item", but per "box" as the standard, fairly astonishing. The reporters saw that after Director Chou stayed there for an hour, he started to command Liu Geng Hong and the staff to move the stock into the van, he was deeply afraid of leaving one box behind; not only this but one command, one move, fairly strict.
Nike don't reveal the sponsor quota
After Liu Geng Hong and the staff heard Jay's command, like workers for house moving they moved box after box of free stuff into Director Chou's company's Mazda van, after they finished moving, Liu Geng Hong personally checked and accepted them, he was so serious. It seemed like Director Chou knew he didn't make contribution but only talked; at the end he took the group of people to the "Healthy Cook" chafing fish in Dunhua N. Rd.
Alfa Music expressed that Liu Geng Hong accepted Nike Sponsorship long term, through his introduction, Director Chou contacted with Nike, they also supplied many models of shoes, clothes in his album promotion period, supplying when he goes onto programmes to get exposure, but in the past it is them who gives the stuff to the company, this time Director Chou personally going to take them, it is really rare. Nike sales manager Huang Xiang Yan wasn't willing to talk about Director Chou's sponsor quota, only expressing that they supplied shoes, clothes and sports stuff.
