Yao Ming has been one busy fella the past few days. Not only has he been doing his training for the Chinese team, participating in the festivities and auction for the charity gala — and play in that game — he quickly moved from those activities into some commercial ones.
Below is a photo of Yao opening up his California Fitness concept in Beijing (click here for the article when it was announced in May), with participation in the launch of the fitness center by Jackie Chan and many of the players who came over from the U.S. for the charity game.
Before this event, Yao attended a ceremony held by Visa International and China Construction Bank to launch the CBC Visa Ming card, with Yao Ming also being named Visa’s global image spokesperson.
He also attended the press conference held between the NBA and KongZhong Corporation to announce a new mobile WAP-based service that will provide NBA fans in China with a broad range of content options including news, scores, editorial content, player interviews, TV schedules, wallpapers, ring tones, video clips and live NBA games.
