Chapter 883: Done (4200 words big chapter, please subscribe!~)
After talking to Michael Jordan, in the afternoon of the U.S. men's basketball game, Michael Owaitz found an advantage of Michael Jordan, that is, a big heart, when the average athlete gets such news, he will definitely play on the court because of off-court factors, but Michael Jordan didn't seem to have this concern at all, and scored the highest score in the whole game, leading the team to easily defeat the opponent!
After the game, Michael Jordan approached David Falke and told Falke what CAA meant.
David Falke was also silent for a while after hearing this, before which Michael Jordan had hinted to him many times that he hoped that he could resign from his current job and become Michael Jordan's agent, but now CAA's contact and the advertising endorsements that CAA brought to Jordan are all things that Falke does not have now.
"Michael, I can't give you an exact answer on this matter, but I must admit to you that I can't bring you such an impactful contract at least now!" David Falke said disappointedly.
Michael Jordan looked at David Falck with some embarrassment, in fact, he already had the answer in his heart, although he believed in David Falck, but he was more like to maximize the development of his commercial value, so that his popularity could be greatly improved.
"David, I thought about it for a while, although you can't be my agent, but I think you can be my financial advisor and leave my money to someone else to manage, and I don't feel at ease!" Michael Jordan said after thinking for a while.
David Falke replied, "Michael, I know your good intentions, but I also need to think about this matter!"
Although Michael Jordan is the best college basketball player in the United States, the NBA is different, there are many parallel champions, David Falke is still a little hesitant in his heart, he is worried that if Jordan is the kind of parallel champion in a million, then his future will be full of unknowns.
"Okay, but I hope you can give me an answer before the Olympics are over, after all, the NBA draft will start in September!" Michael Jordan said, after the Olympics, Michael Jordan will go to some teams interested in his own for some simple tryouts, in fact, this is not much necessary for Jordan, after all, his performance in the Olympics is enough to say everything.
"Of course!" said David Falck.
Following!
Michael Owits received a call from Michael Jordan, who agreed to sign an agent contract with CAA. Michael Owitz then approached Michael Jordan with a contract.
"Happy cooperation!" Michael Owaitz shook hands with Michael Jordan after signing the contract.
"Happy working together!" said Michael Jordan with a happy smile.
"Michael, this will be a very right choice for you, the company will set up a professional agent team for you, only for you, this is the treatment that CAA's top signed artists will have. Michael Owitz said this. All this was commanded by Rongle.
Sure enough, Michael Jordan was also very happy after listening to it, and the agency's attention to him made him think that his choice was correct.
"Michael, we've reached out to the Chicago Bulls with a third draft pick for you, and their general manager has promised us that as long as you agree to join the Bulls, they'll revolve around you and rebuild the entire Bulls team, and you're going to be the centerpiece of the Bulls!" Michael Owaitz explained the second message to Michael Jordan.
After listening to Michael Jordan, he was really very satisfied, although he was participating in the Olympics, but about the draft, he was also very concerned, the Rockets have the top pick, and have said that they will sign Hakiem Olajuwon, although the Trail Blazers didn't say anything, but in their team in terms of scoring guards, with last year's rookie Drexler, it is unlikely to sign guards, and the Bulls, who have the third pick, officially expressed their sincerity at this time.
How could Jordan not be excited about a rookie player who had been promised by the team before he even joined the NBA that he would establish himself as the core of the team.
He thinks he himself is fully trusted.
"Really?"
"Of course, this is the owner of the Bulls, personally verbally promised, they are ready to build the team around you, so Michael, I hope you can join the Bulls, so that will have a perfect start to your career!" Michael Owitz's tone was full of seduction.
Michael Jordan thought for a moment and said, "So what should I do now?"
"Turning down tryouts from the Rockets and Trail Blazers and other teams, focusing on preparing for the Olympics, and when the draft begins, it's logical to join the Bulls," Michael Owitz said.
"I understand how to do it!" Michael Jordan thought for a while and said, "There is one more thing that you need to follow up, that is, my sneaker contract, before Falke contacted Adidas for me, but they didn't give me enough respect, and then Nike contacted Falke, I was very interested in the contract they proposed, and now I have signed with CAA, this matter is going to be left to you to do!"
Before Michael Jordan signed the sneaker contract, what he wanted was actually Adidas, at this time Adidas was a well-deserved king of sports brands, but they preferred those big players, in fact, after Michael Jordan, Adidas was still like this, and in the end they suffered after all!
They don't like backcourt players like Michael Jordan too much, so Adidas lost the opportunity to maintain its sports brand boss, just like the Shaw Brothers who missed Li Xiaolong.
At this time, Nike, like Golden Harvest, regarded Michael Jordan as their Li Xiaolong, smashed a five-year contract of 2.5 million US dollars, and invited Michael Jordan to become its brand spokesperson!
The sneaker endorsement contract in this era is not like later generations, often tens of millions of dollars, the highest sneaker endorsement contract in this era is Abdul-Jabbar of the Lakers, which is only $100,000 per year, and the black and white magic Johnson and Big Bird Bird are only $70,000 a year, if there is no Rongle, Michael Jordan will follow his own historical trajectory and sign with Nike.
"Michael, there's someone I think you should meet! After meeting him, I think you'll change your mind!" laughs Michael Owitz.
Then Michael Jordan saw an elegant Chinese man come over and sit down on their table.
"Michael, this is the owner of the Bulls, Rong Le, Mr. Rong! At the same time, he is also the chairman of Tu Nan Technology Group, and he is the one who personally facilitated your contract with Tu Nan Technology Group!" Michael Owaitz still said in his heart, Rong Le is still the boss behind CAA! It's just that the two sides have no relationship on the surface.
Michael Jordan looked at Rong Le a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect the owner of the Bulls to be so young, he looked about the same age as himself, and what was even more terrifying was that he was still the chairman of Tu Nan Technology Group, so didn't he say that the Walkman he used and the games he played on weekdays were all produced by his company?
"Hello Michael, you can call me Rong!" Rong Le smiled.
"Hello Mr. Rong, I didn't expect to see you here!" Michael Jordan said with some excitement, not because Rong Le is the owner of the Bulls, but because Michael Jordan is a big fan of Tunan games, and he has basically played all the games produced by Tunan Technology Group.
"Michael, you may not know, our Bulls have been following you for a long time, since you joined the NCAA, we have been following you, I myself am very optimistic about your career in the NBA, I personally even think you will become the most successful athlete in NBA history!" Rong Le smiled, although the current Rong Le no longer has the excitement of seeing idols, but it is still a pleasing thing to be able to see the young Jordan with his own eyes.
"Thank you, Mr. Rong, for your comment, I have just told Mr. Owitz that I will not disappoint the team's expectations!" said Michael Jordan with a smile.
Rong Le shook his head with a smile and said, "No, Michael, I have never been worried about your career, this time, I want to talk to you about another cooperation!"
Michael Jordan was slightly stunned and asked, "Is Mr. Rong talking about the contract of the Walkman? I have already promised Mr. Owitz!" Michael Jordan thought that Rong Le was still talking to him about the contract of the Walkman.
Rong Le shook his head and said with a smile: "The contract of the Walkman is only one of them, and we are also ready to invite you Michael, to become the spokesperson of our Tunan Technology Group's latest game "Contra" in North America!"
The smile on Michael Jordan's face was even better, he really didn't expect Rongle to value himself so much, he hadn't played a game in the NBA, Rongle provided himself with two weighty endorsements, and suddenly Michael Jordan had an idea of treating Rongle as a confidant, Jordan believed that this must be Rongle's 100% trust in himself, so he would value himself like this.
You must know that the average NBA rookie, after joining the NBA, it is impossible to have too many endorsement contracts, let alone endorsements for such top goods, and more contracts for burger restaurants in some local cities, which is already very good.
Michael Jordan believes that as long as these two contracts are announced, he will become the brightest of the rookies, and it doesn't matter whether he is the top pick or not.
"I will definitely be on the court and let Mr. Rong see that your investment is extremely correct!" Michael Jordan was full of joy, excitement, and confidence.
"Haha, I naturally believe this, but this is not the end of it, Michael, I have just established a LUCK sports company in North America, the main direction is basketball sneakers, we also hope to invite you to be our spokesperson!" Rong Le said his final purpose.
Jordan was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect Rongle to have a sports company, LUCK Sports Company, he had never heard of it, Nike was already a second-rate sports company in North America before, and now this LUCK Sports Company may not have entered the stream.
Especially just two words!
But before that, Rongle prepared two endorsement contracts for Tunan Technology Group, one of which was with Michael Jackson......
Rong Le looked at Michael Jordan's hesitant expression and said with a smile: "Michael, why don't you listen to our contract conditions before making a decision?"
Michael Jordan nodded, if Rongle's conditions were not suitable, he would also have a reason to refuse Rongle.
"I know that Nike has provided you with a five-year $2.5 million contract, we LUCK can provide you with a five-year $3 million endorsement contract, and our company will also design your exclusive signature sneakers, we call it Jordan Generation, the company has invited the top designers in the United States, Pete Moore, Tink Hatfield, etc., to design your signature shoes for you. ”
"At the same time, there will be no strings attached to our contract, whether you can average 20 points per season, whether you can win Rookie of the Year or not, we will honor the contract, because in my opinion these things are so easy for you!"
After Rong Le finished speaking, he looked at Michael Jordan, and the conditions he gave him were almost the best conditions in NBA history so far, and Rong Le believed that Michael Jordan would definitely agree.
Sure enough, Michael Jordan's eyes lit up after listening to Rong Le's narration, but in the end he had another question, "Mr. Rong, I still want to ask one last question, that is, what kind of status do I have among the spokespeople of LUCK?"
Rong Le smiled and said: "Michael, in these contracts, I think you should know, you will be the only one in the spokesperson of LUCK Sports Company, you are the only one of LUCK, our company will take out five million US dollars as funds to promote this shoe, which I think any company provides for you!"
What else can Michael Jordan say, a player who hasn't played a game in the NBA, but can get so much trust and surpass the endorsement of all active players in the NBA, how can he have other opinions?
"Thank you, Mr. Rong, for your trust, I don't think I can think of any better conditions!" said Michael Jordan with a smile.
"Haha, I'm sure in a few years, Michael, you will be very happy with the decision you made today!" Rong Le smiled.
The two sides shook hands and confirmed this cooperation!
The most well-known LUCK sports company in the future has taken the first step towards dominating the world's sports brand!

Rong Le, Huo Tsar and others came to the scene and watched the game in person, and the scene was even more crowded, but more of them were fans of the host American women's volleyball team, who waved their flags and shouted cheers for the American women's volleyball team.
