"...Li Wei, I am very happy today, please believe me, Coca-Cola and your image are a perfect match. After meeting you, I'm even more convinced of this. The Coca-Cola family is very much looking forward to your joining and sincerely hopes that Coca-Cola can become a part of your brand image."

A secret rendezvous?
Of course not.
If it truly were a secret meeting, how could it be so high-profile? Waving to reporters at the training base, greeting the paparazzi at the hotel entrance—such a gathering could hardly be called clandestine. More accurately, it should be termed a date.
The visit to Marriott Hotel today was purely business.
Two whole months ago, Nike withstood the pressure to offer a history-making contract, outpacing Adidas and Under Armour by signing Li Wei first.
