Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 320: Opportunity Suddenly Appears

Competitive. Combative. Strong-willed.

These were also the spirits flowing in Li Wei’s blood; otherwise, he wouldn’t have joined the NFL. Challenging the strongest and defeating the strongest in the league is the most thrilling and exciting part of competitive sports, and it can be even more exhilarating than winning a championship.

"The thing is, everyone is unique, everyone has their beliefs, and everyone has their own battles,"

"We can’t win every battle, as there are no undefeated generals on the field of competitive sports. So, winning is important, but it’s even more important to overcome the shadow of defeat, to transform, and grow."

"As of now, I don’t consider myself irreplaceable; I haven’t reached my peak yet."

"In fact, realizing this excites me."

"I know I’m forging into a new field where no one has set foot before—everything is fresh and unfamiliar. But to me, this is a good thing."

"I hope people realize that I can do it, and so can they. They should follow in my footsteps, join my ranks, and party together; at the same time, I want to keep moving forward, exploring, and challenging. I want to see the highest peak of this field, and I want to see my own limits."

"Right now, this is just a beginning."

"I believe I still have a vast room for growth, so I should be a bit more humble,"

After saying this, Li Wei still showed a sunny smile, indicating his modesty.

Stanley was stunned: Is this really modesty?

The current league leader in rushing yards and touchdowns, who is on the brink of breaking a series of rookie season records in the NFL Super Bowl era—every step Li Wei takes is writing history—

The best in history!

And yet, Li Wei says: there’s still vast room for growth?

So where should one grow towards if they continue to grow? Is he planning to ascend to heaven?

He talked about being humble, but obviously, this rookie was anything but humble, which made Stanley burst into laughter, unable to help himself from confirming once again, "You believe you have a vast room for growth."

Stanley emphasized the adjective once more.

Li Wei’s smile bloomed even wider, "Of course."

Resolute and brimming with confidence.

Still exploring the training regimen spearheaded by Peterson, Li Wei realized that, with the enrichment of his game experience, revisiting those training sessions would change his whole perspective. He had a lot to learn still.

And that was even truer for the Tomlinson training regimen. Just barely scratching the surface after a little over two weeks, Li Wei really felt for the first time that there wasn’t enough time for training and hoped to make the most of it.

If other players on the Kansas City Chiefs knew Li Wei’s true thoughts, there would likely be only one way to describe him: a beast.

Of course, Stanley felt the same—

A monster.

Though not a beast, he was not far off.

The whole league was in shock at Li Wei’s performance, yet they could never have imagined that the man himself still appeared eager to learn and strive for better—more frightening than a horror story.

Now, Stanley could understand what Donald meant by a dreamer; he also understood what Li Wei meant by a pioneer.

Li Wei dared to dream and to act, and as an outsider, he broke all boundaries, presenting a primal world before his eyes, starting anew, from scratch, like a blank canvas where he could freely paint his own unique path.

Suddenly, Stanley grew curious—

Had Nike seen this trait in Li Wei, leading them to decisively and audaciously offer him an unimaginable contract?

Originally, Pepsi’s strategy for the football market was very similar to soccer; pile up superstars, if ten aren’t enough, get twenty. As long as there were enough dazzling stars, the blinding brilliance would be enough to break open the situation.

Li Wei?

He was merely one of the badges Pepsi needed to collect in their grand blueprint, so when Donald revealed the truth just now, Stanley had not objected.

But now, a daring idea began to take shape in Stanley’s mind.

What if—just a hypothesis—Pepsi did like Nike did and put all their chips on Jordan to break into the basketball market, and now they were ready to go all-in on Li Wei.

It was both bold and insane because it involved the layout of the entire market, and it wasn’t something Stanley could decide on the spot. He had to go back, hold meetings, consult his superiors; a mere corporate drone had no authority to call the shots.

Yet once this inspiration took root, it became uncontrollable, growing wildly.

The reason was clear before his eyes—

There were simply too many football players, and Pepsi’s collection of badges would certainly not be as smooth as with soccer. Furthermore, the positions on a football field were too varied and complex for Pepsi to possibly sign endorsers and create a dream team like they could in soccer; the two sports were fundamentally different.

So, what if they put all their bets on one single player?

After all, they weren’t the first ones to try this; Nike had already blazed the trail and achieved tremendous success. Pepsi could certainly replicate that.

By doing this, Pepsi wouldn’t need to spend a vast amount of effort on planning their entire layout. All resources and costs would be focused, surrounding a core, and might indeed pave a different way to open up new opportunities.

All at once, Stanley’s heart started to race uncontrollably, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts as if standing at the crossroads of history. The next step could unveil a brand-new chapter, and excitement filled every cell, with adrenaline gushing throughout, his brain consumed by roaring noise.

Perhaps he should seize the opportunity?

Lifting his head, Stanley didn’t look at Donald but gazed at Li Wei instead, carefully observing the young man’s face as his fingertips unconsciously clenched.

A running back? A rookie?

In the world of football, to focus all resources on a quarterback was considered foolish, let alone a running back.

But isn’t this where the thrill of taking risks lies?

Think logically, analyze calmly, and boldly make unconventional, even outrageous choices. Amidst risks and crises, carve out a niche.

Pepsi had spent a whole ten years carefully planning their entire strategy. Their goal was definitely not just to beat their old rival, Coca-Cola; they yearned to completely transform the global market landscape and redefine the Pepsi brand—

So, could Li Wei be the answer?

If the answer was yes...

In that instant, a surge of noble spirit flooded Stanley’s heart, as he made an important decision.

Then.

Turning to Donald, Stanley showed a confident smile, "Four million US dollars a year, for a five-year contract."

It was a decisive bid, his intent on triumph.

Stanley believed Donald wouldn’t refuse, for this was the highest authority granted to him by Pepsi’s top management before he had set out for this meeting. He didn’t hesitate or stall, simply going all in with a straightforward bet.

But against all expectations, Donald gently shook his head, his tone soft but firm, "No, Jerry, we cannot accept such a proposal."
