Chapter 1562: I Can't Do It
Beaverton, Oregon, USA, is just a small city in the United States, but with the rise of a company, it is well known to the world. And this company is NK!
NK, a well-known brand that is known to almost all the world, whether it is children or adults. To put it simply, NK is a manufacturer of shijie haode sneakers. Therefore, when Lin Feng came to Beaverton City, he casually asked a passer-by and arrived at the "NK" headquarters.
NK headquarters is not as atmospheric as Lin Feng imagined. With the fame of "NK", Lin Feng should have a very luxurious headquarters in his impression. For example, the "Blizzard" headquarters, the in-game character statues displayed everywhere, and various huge posters remind people that this is the "Blizzard" headquarters.
But at the "NK" headquarters, Lin Feng traveled all the way under the leadership of Miss Yingbin, if he didn't clearly know that he was in the "NK" headquarters at the moment, I am afraid that Lin Feng would still think that he was in a township enterprise in China. It's simple and unpretentious to the extreme, and there's nothing fancy about it that isn't practical. However, along the way, Lin Feng always felt that the "NK" headquarters was a little abnormal, and he always felt a little uncomfortable.
After a long time, Lin Feng slapped his thigh violently, knowing where he felt the strange place of the "NK" headquarters, and the "NK" headquarters didn't have a pair of shoes. At the headquarters of a sneaker manufacturer in Shijie today, there is not a single pair of shoes in sight, which really makes Lin Feng a little unbelievable.
However, after Lin Feng met with William Perez, the president of "NK", the answer was revealed. At the "NK" headquarters, all employees do only two things, one is to build a global marketing network, and the other is to manage its company all over the world. Therefore, at the headquarters of "NK" you will not see a single pair of shoes, because there is simply no need. If you want to design shoes, there will be a special design research institute to be responsible, and the headquarters is only responsible for the marketing and sales of the two core projects. And that's something that's at the heart of any business.
"NK" means outsourcing everything else that is possible, and the head office is only responsible for the core things. This not only reduces costs, but also maximizes efficiency. This is the efficient company model of a modern enterprise.
For the "NK" model, Lin Feng has some understanding.
"Mr. Lin, may I ask if you have any advice for coming to us today?" William Perez, the president of "NK", was a little caught off guard by Lin Feng's sudden rebellion. A meeting that was originally planned to be held was also temporarily canceled due to Lin Feng's arrival.
Lin Feng smiled.
"I want Sarabova!" Lin Feng didn't hide his intentions and said directly.
Sarapova William Perez was slightly stunned, and after a moment turned the corner.
"Mr. Lin, I heard that you don't seem to have a sporting goods company, so what's the use of asking for her image rights? If it's any other field, it doesn't seem to conflict with us. William Perez laughs.
Lin Feng smiled.
"But now I've just started a sporting goods company, so that's what I need. William, 'nk' has so many stars, why don't you give up Sarapova to me! Lin Feng said.
Hearing Lin Feng's words, William Perez was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Do you talk like this, although there are so many stars under the "NK", everyone is an indispensable person in the "NK" kingdom. If you say it casually, you have to go alone, and then how will "NK" gain a foothold in the sporting goods industry. What's more, although you Lin Feng is shijie rich, you are not so big-faced. It's not big enough to say a word, and "nk" will be given to you.
What's more, Sarapova is now a hot female tennis star, with beautiful appearance and all her skills, as long as she is well trained, she will definitely have a bigger market than that Kournikova.
Therefore, "NK" will revise the contract twice in a row, and then lock up Sarapova with a contract of 8 years and 70 million. As a result, your old man came to ask for someone with such a big sword, which is too outrageous.
"Mr. Lin, Miss Sarapova is a generation of idols that our company focuses on cultivating, and in the next eight years, she will definitely belong to the 'NK'. William Perez said word by word, telling Lin Feng in a sonorous and powerful tone that "NK" would never give up on Sarapova.
Lin Feng smiled slightly.
"Make a price!" Lin Feng said.
"Not for sale!" William Perez snorted coldly.
"Everything has value. The only difference is the value. Lin Feng said.
"Sarapova is not for sale!" William Perez looked dismissive.
"But what if I have to do Sarapova?" Lin Feng said embarrassedly, "If this is the case, then I can only choose to buy out Sarapova's contract." I heard that the last time she signed a contract, she was a $50,000 liquidated damages, and I think the $50,000 shouldn't be a big problem for me. ”
William Perez chuckled in his heart. $50,000, when she signed with Sarapova, this figure is very much in line with Sarapova's value. But now, Sarapova, who just won the US Open, is worth far more than that. Fortunately, he has just signed a new contract with Salapova, and the liquidated damages have reached $200 million. Although Lin Feng can still come up with 200 million US dollars, as Lin Feng said, everything has its value. If the price is too great and the benefits are out of its reach, it will not be worth it.
So William Perez is very confident.
"Mr. Lin, unfortunately, has just signed a contract with Miss Sarapova for a term of eight years and $200 million in liquidated damages. William Perez stared at Lin Feng, trying to see the chagrin and anger on his face.
I don't know when it began, more and more people like to see Lin Feng deflated. After all, Lin Feng has always bullied people, who can bully Lin Feng, it feels quite cool. The same goes for William Perez. Today, Lin Feng came to the door with a fierce momentum, and he opened his mouth to ask for Sarapova, which was too deceitful. If you can see Lin Feng eating deflated and annoyed, this sullen breath in his heart will be eliminated.
But it was clear that William Perez was disappointed. When Lin Feng heard the figure of 200 million, he didn't move his brows.
"Mr. Perez, I think you should know that I just won $300 million at the Athens Olympics this time. The payment of $200 million in compensation should not be a problem. What do you say?" Lin Feng asked rhetorically.
William Perez frowned. For Lin Feng, taking out $200 million is really nothing, and it's just a drop in the bucket.
"Mr. Perez, I'll ask you later, will Sarapova let me go? Give it to me, I'm willing to compensate your company $100 million, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind. Lin Feng said.
When William Perez heard this, he was angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven, and two Buddhas were born. It's so annoying, Lin Feng is looking for the door to bully people. But just when William Perez was about to slap the table with Lin Feng and scold his mother, he suddenly received a phone call. Immediately, the momentum of the whole person suddenly changed.
"Mr. Lin, if you want Sarapova, you can, 200 million US dollars in compensation, not one less. Otherwise, you don't want to take her. William Perez snorted coldly.
It's still not for sale just now, but it's ready for sale at the moment, and there seems to be something greasy about it. Lin Feng was puzzled.
"Mr. Lin, this is what we offer. If you can pay $200 million, then we won't tear our faces and will take the initiative to terminate Sarapova's contract, so that you don't have to bear the notoriety of digging people's corners, I don't know what Mr. Lin thinks?" said William Perez.
It's weird. Although William Perez is still holding on to $200 million, his attitude and rigidity are not the same at the moment, and the gap between the two is not obvious, but Lin Feng, who observes carefully, can find a clue from his words.
"$100 million! That's my final offer. Lin Feng said.
If William Perez still doesn't agree, Lin Feng can only take the latter way to preempt William Perez and tear up Sarapova's contract. In that case, Lin Feng will only need to pay William Perez $50,000.
"No, 200 million. Don't forget, we still have to convince Sarapova to be in the first place. Otherwise, if we terminate the contract hastily, we will have to pay a huge amount of compensation. Your 200 million is only enough to compensate Sarapova. "William Perez took the opportunity to sit on the ground and start the bid.
"Sarapova has already initialed a contract with me, and as long as your company is willing to release people, Sarapova will immediately appear in my company. Lin Feng said. "In that case, you have an old Chinese saying that you have the beauty of an adult, and we will sell Sarapova to you. This is Sarapova's contract, and now it's yours. William Perez said.
Lin Feng thought about it, and finally took out $100 million to take Sarapova into his account. Although it is said that Lin Feng can tear up the contract, but forcibly snaring Salapova like that will not only affect his own reputation, but also indirectly affect Sarapova's popularity. This is something that Lin Feng doesn't want to see. 50,000, buying Sarapova's popularity and fame, Lin Feng felt that it was worth it.
Immediately the two sides signed an amicable agreement on the transfer of ownership of Sarapova.
"Mr. Lin, do you know why I sold Sarapova to you?" William Perez said with a sudden laugh.
Lin Feng frowned.
"It's simple, because of this medical report. William Perez handed Lin Feng a medical report that had just been faxed.
It is written that Sarapova has over-exercised her shoulder, causing her shoulder bones to be misaligned, and it will take at least a year for her to fully recover. As for whether it will not have a follow-up effect in the future, it depends on personal luck. And many tennis celebrities have to say goodbye to tennis early because of too serious shoulder injuries, or their form has dropped sharply, from once a famous player to a mediocre generation.
Lin Feng took a breath, he didn't expect Sarapova to be so seriously injured. Witnessing William Perez's smiling face, I suddenly realized. No wonder William Perez suddenly changed his mind and agreed to sell Sarapova to himself.
Cunning American! Lin Feng cursed secretly.
"Mr. Lin, now Sarapova belongs to you. Hopefully, you'll find a Haode doctor for her, so maybe she'll be on the tennis court again in a year's time. William Perez said proudly.
It is not easy to take advantage of Lin Feng. You know, that's a $1.7 billion difference. If you don't sell Sarapova, not only will Lin Feng not pay $100 million in compensation, but you will also have to pay Sarapova's $70,000 advertising endorsement contract for 8 years in the future, if this is the case, it will be enough for William Perez to regret for life.
Fortunately, thanks to the powerful information agency of "NK", "Salapova" received the physical examination report of "Salapova" as soon as possible. As a result, William Perez successfully sold Sarapova, who may have suffered a significant decline in form due to injury, to Lin Feng.
$100 million, that's definitely a lot of money!, William Perez said proudly.
"Mr. Lin, the contract has been completed, and I still have important matters, so I won't keep you longer. Goodbye!" William Perez stood up to see off the guests.
Lin Feng's face changed slightly. But this is not the time for tempers.
"Thank you, Mr. Perez, for your generosity. Although Sarapova has been injured, I am confident that she will succeed in the future. Lin Feng got up and said goodbye and left.
When Lin Feng left the "NK" headquarters, he saw that Sarapova's advertising contract had just been delivered. However, at the moment the contract has been nullified. It doesn't work anymore.
haha~~~ Behind him, there was a smug laugh from William Perez. He made $100 million for "NK" again today, and life is good!
At this moment, Lin Fengfang received a call from Sarapova.
"Lin, I'm afraid I can't sign you anymore. Very bad news, my shoulder injury report has just come out, I have a serious injury to my right shoulder and need to recuperate for a year. Salapova's tone was extremely low.
"Good news, Mary. I just ransomed you back from 'nk' for $100 million. From today onwards, you will be mine" Lin Feng was embarrassed for a while, as if he hadn't even thought of the company's name yet, "In short, from today onwards, you are already a signed star of my company." ”
What!
"I'm sorry, Lin, I'm telling you late. Otherwise, you wouldn't have lost that $100 million. Don't worry, I'll tear up that contract. Sarapova said in a firm tone.
Although Sarapova was born in a shabby manner, she is by no means the kind of person who is greedy for cheapness, and she will not take advantage of Lin Feng. Even if it's worth $80,000. Of course, as for why he took advantage of "NK", it was because since "NK" chose to change the contract in the first place, he was afraid that she would leave. In that case, "NK" is going to do a good job of her injuries. So, Sarapova is rightly arrogant.
"Maria, didn't I say that we are friends whether we sign up or not. If a friend is in trouble, how can he not help. What's more, I'm sure you'll be able to bounce back and make a comeback. Lin Feng said.
Salapova was moved when she heard this. You must know that since the publication of her medical report, many companies that originally raised Jihua's advertising endorsement pay immediately suspended Jihua's salary increase, and told Sarapova to suspend all advertising contract negotiations. The warmth and coldness of the people can be seen in the face of the businessman's philistine. And at this time, Lin Feng's move like this is undoubtedly a relief in the snow.
"Lin, xiexie!" said Sarapova sobbed. At the critical moment, Lin Feng's warm attitude made her feel as warm as spring.
Lin Feng sighed lightly. For Sarapova, a lady of heaven, it was indeed a huge blow to suffer such a heavy shoulder injury when she was just making achievements. This kind of shoulder injury, in particular, is very likely to affect his career, which is unacceptable to any athlete. What's more, although Sarapova has won two Grand Slams this year, Wimbledon and the US Open, she is only a 17-year-old girl after all.
17 years old! Sarapova is only 17 years old this year. In China, at the age of 17, I am afraid that I am still carefree, and every day is a good time for classes and schools. And Sarapova has entered the adult shijie and is working hard for the sake of the family. The sadness in this is beyond the reach of outsiders. If you can, try to help.
Lin Feng returned to New York and called the Houston Rockets' sports doctor from Houston, now one of the authoritative sports therapists in the United States. However, the results are still not optimistic, and Sarapova's shoulder injury must be operated on, otherwise it will be difficult to cure it. However, the recovery from surgery is very slow. This can be fatal for a tennis player. I'm afraid that from now on, it will be difficult for Salapova to play freely.
"Lin, xiexie you. I'd better choose conservative treatment. Once I had surgery, it was good to succeed, but if I failed, my tennis career would be completely ruined. After hesitating for a long time, Sarapova finally chose conservative treatment.
Lin Feng frowned. Suddenly, Lin Feng slapped his head.
"Haha, Sarapova, I have a doctor who recommends you. It's our Chinese doctors, very amazing medical skills. Messi was almost killed on the pitch but is now alive and well, returning to the first team and making his debut in the English League at the weekend. I think he'll be able to help you. At the critical moment, Lin Feng thought of Hua Seventeen.
This Hua Seventeen, who ruled Messi alive, is the hope of Lin Fenghou.
Chinese medicine Salapova was slightly stunned. This is the first time she has heard of Chinese medicine. Instinctively wanted to refuse, but thinking of Lin Feng's kindness and the fact that her injury was already like this, Sarapova decided to obey Lin Feng and give it a try.
A day later, Hua XVII was urgently transported to the United States by Lin Feng, and Sarapova was treated as soon as possible. However, after the treatment, Hua Seventeen frowned.
"Her injury is not a problem, she just needs a lot of body massage. But this massage must be honest with the whole body, I can't do it!" Hua 17 said.
