Chapter 551: No Cooperation?
Vatnad was a standard Germanic people.
He had a serious and rigid expression, but when he saw Shen Huan, he still smiled.
"Hello, Mr. Shen, it's a pleasure to meet you!" he greeted warmly.
"Hello, Mr. Vatnad. ”
Shen Huan opened the door and led him in.
No matter what Vatnader was thinking, it was impossible for the guests to talk about things outside.
After pouring a glass of water for Vatnader, Shen Huan apologized, "I don't have coffee here, I'm sorry." ”
"It's okay, Chinese people like to drink tea, I know!" Vatnade smiled and took the water, "Actually, I also like to drink black tea, the unsweetened kind." ”
He knows that Chinese people don't like to add sugar when drinking tea, while Westerners must add sugar and milk when drinking black tea.
Strangely, the more bitter coffee, many Westerners do not add sugar or milk.
Shen Huan nodded and sat down across from him.
"Kobe Bryant and Iverson both told me just now, saying that Nike and Reebok both want to find me. Shen Huan said, seeing Vatnader's face change slightly, he continued: "I want to come to Mr. Vatnader, you have the same mind, right?"
"Yes!"
Seeing Shen Huan's cheerful words, Vatnader, who was not very good at words, said directly: "What we Adidas mean is to invite you, Mr. Shen Huan, to become our signed endorsement player." ”
"Maybe you're going to be disappointed. Shen Huan shook his head.
"You can listen to our offer, we are very sincere. Vatnader hurriedly said, "Even if you don't sign us, there's nothing to lose, right?"
"It's not the money, in fact I didn't listen to the offers from Nike and Reebok. Shen Huan explained with a smile, "I'll tell you something, you have to promise me not to leak it out." ”
"Speak. ”
Vatnade sat up straight, "We Germans are people with business ethics, and we will never divulge the privacy of our friends. ”
"I'm not going to play basketball anymore after this Finals. Shen Huan said casually.
Vatnader: "......"
After a while, he stammered, "Please forgive me for not understanding, what do you mean ......"
"This is my first time playing in the NBA, and probably my last time playing in the NBA. Shen Huan said: "In September this year, I will enter the university to study. And you may not know, but I love music, I need to make music, and I also have a passion for math research...... All things put together, and I don't have time to play in the NBA. ”
Vatnader: "!?"
You must be teasing me, Your Excellency!
He asked puzzledly: "You said that for the sake of the above, there is no time to play in the NBA, so you give up the possible salary of hundreds of millions of dollars, as well as tens of millions of dollars in endorsement fees?"
Now the NBA's pay is getting higher every year.
In the three years when Boss Joe came back, the annual salary of more than 30 million yuan was approved by Stern himself, and his salary was not in the salary cap, otherwise the Bulls would go bankrupt immediately.
But now you see, which star is not twenty or thirty million?
It is conceivable that in the future, it will be even higher, maybe 40 million or 50 million a year can come out.
Shen Huan is only 17 years old, even if he is only 27 years old in 10 years, can't he still earn a salary of hundreds of millions of dollars?
Shen Huan is also a little strange, this German is very strict, why didn't he seem to have investigated my information?
So he asked, "Mr. Vatnader, may I ask what your education is......?"
"Ph.D. in economics from the University of Hamburg. Vatnad came by the way.
"So have you studied math seriously?" Shen Huan asked again.
"Of course! I'm good at math!" Vatnad felt a little insulted, thinking that you, a 17-year-old boy, would dare to question a doctor.
Shen Huan nodded and said, "Then do you know Fermat's theorem?"
"That's a jewel in the crown of mathematics!" said Vatnader, "do you mean anything by saying such simple common sense?"
"You know Fermat's theorem, but you don't know me?" Shen Huan said in surprise: "Don't you know that sitting in front of you is the mathematician who is most likely to solve Fermat's theorem for more than 300 years?
Vatnader's face changed dramatically.
Since I am a doctoral student, since mathematics is not bad, of course I have heard the names of the above three top mathematics magazines.
Shen Huan dared to say this, of course, it proved that he had indeed published a paper on it, otherwise he would be humiliating Vatnader.
A 17-year-old boy who can publish papers in these three top mathematics journals can definitely be called a mathematician.
If it is really as Shen Huan said, his thesis is about Fermat's theorem, then mathematicians are all modest and should be called great mathematicians.
Not to mention Vatnader, even if he is a professor of mathematics at Vatnader, he cannot be called a great mathematician.
Such an honor will never be given casually wholesale and casually.
"Sorry for the delay!"
Vatnade hastened to say this.
After getting Shen Huan's permission, he turned on his phone and began to look up the content of Fermat's theorem by himself.
After such a check, it was all Shen Huan's romanized spelling name, which also showed his various contributions to Fermat's theorem at the age of 16 and 17, as well as the admiration of mathematicians around the world for this young genius.
FK!
Vatnader decided to fire the assistant who was collecting information as soon as he returned.
He didn't even write such important news on the information, and he made a fool of himself, which is simply disgusting!
A talented basketball supernova and a genius teenage mathematician like no other in the world are of a completely different grade.
The former may be liked by everyone and sought after by capital.
But the latter is the existence that all people should admire and worship.
Because science is the future of humanity!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shen!" Vatnader stood up, bowed and apologized, "I'm very sorry for the faux pas just now!"
He knows it well.
As Shen Huan, it was the most normal decision to say that he needed to study mathematics and not play in the NBA.
The NBA can get money and benefits, but it can't contribute to the future of humanity.
Shen Huan has such a mind, so naturally he has no urgent pursuit of monetary interests.
In this way, it looks like your strategy is about to fail.
It's a pity that even the quotation was not reported, and it was already facing failure.
"It's nothing. Shen Huan smiled and shook his hand, "Now that you understand everything, you can understand why I can't accept sneaker endorsements...... If I take it, it's going to hurt you Adidas. ”
If Shen Huan signs a contract with Adidas for three or five years, and then people give tens of millions of sneaker endorsement fees, and Shen Huan announces his retirement when he gets the money, Adidas may have to jump off the building collectively, right?
Money is of course very important, but Shen Huan feels that it is even more important to live according to the life he wants.
In this life, why do people have to be tired to die and live, just to compete for the best, the highest and the strongest?
With a little money, a beloved woman, and both children, it's basically a perfect life!
"Where are you, with your status, how can you insult Adidas?" Vatnade said with a polite smile: "Even if you don't play basketball, you ...... Huh!?"
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind!
That's right!
Why can't Adidas sign Shen Huan?
Even if he doesn't play basketball, with his status as a genius mathematician, that's a great fame!
One day, if Shen Huan proves Fermat's theorem again, won't he also become the idol of thousands of teenagers?
As long as you are an idol, can't you endorse Adidas?
It doesn't have to be basketball shoes!
Adidas has more shoes!
"Mr. Vatnader?" Shen Huan saw him in a daze and called him.
"Oh, oh!"
Vatnade woke up from his jumping thoughts, and he immediately stood up again: "Mr. Shen, please give me a little time, I think we still have a chance to cooperate...... I'll be sure to get back to you soon!"
With that, Vatnader rushed straight out the door.
He needs to get on the phone from headquarters right away and report his ideas to the chairman and the board of directors.
Once it is done well, maybe Adidas will have a new business breakthrough!
Shen Huan was a little baffled by his actions.
What's wrong with this guy?
Suddenly he said something nonsense, and ran away in a hurry?
Is this still a serious Germanic people?
What a strange thing!
