Philwright's words directly established the status of Zhou Zheng, who was the first person in the Adidas basketball map, and he replaced Tracy Maddie.

This stunned the journalists who thought that Adidas might play a dual-flagship strategy, and they really didn't expect Adidas to be so bold and so risky. It really pushed a Chinese defender who had not played a professional game to the front.

You know, Tracy Madty is the leading scorer, and he has just completed an epic game in which he scored 13 points in a row in 35 seconds and moved God to tears, against a strong man like the San Antonio Spurs.

After the press conference, the reporters went back with a strong shock, which was definitely big news for them.

Tracy Maddy is now in the limelight in the league and can be said to be a peerless duo that can be compared to Kobe Bryant. However... Adidas actually put him on the back burner?

And the reason why Adidas made such an option was because they fell out with Tracy's team, and Tracy Maddy's team came to the door angrily when they learned that Adidas gave Zhou Zheng a contract that exceeded their own amount. Then the lion opened his mouth and said that he would cancel the current contract and immediately renew an endorsement contract with an annual salary of more than 15 million dollars.

Tracy Maddy's team has no fear, they believe that now that Kobe Bryant is gone, Maddy has become Adidas' most commercially appealing star, and they can't afford to dry themselves out, they have to please themselves.

Indeed, they caught Adidas's sore feet, and apart from Tracy Maddie, Adidas does not have too many stars with commercial appeal, although big-name players also include Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett. Billups can also be counted as one, and Arenas is rising.

However, the top grossing is still Tracy Maddie. He didn't play as well as expected in Houston, but he wasn't bad. After becoming a teammate with Yao, his influence in China has also expanded.

Ahead of the NCAA Finals, Adi had been in talks with Tracy Maddie's team. There was even a five-year, $70 million contract, but... The Tracy Maddy team completely ignored it, they bit the price to death, and they upped the stakes in this tug-of-war, even asking for a separate sub-brand, just like Michael Jordan did to Nike.

However, with the end of the NCAA Finals, after Zhou Zheng hit that legendary kill. Philwright took matters into his own hands and terminated all negotiations with Tracy Maddie's team. If he is not willing to carry out the remaining three years of his contract, he can ask them to pay a high penalty and leave.

And what prompted Filright to make this decision was that he saw Zhou Zheng's tenacity and never give up in that game, and the spirit of falling and gritting his teeth to get up and killing his opponent completely infected Filright. He believes that this is the true competitive spirit.

He had a comprehensive understanding of Zhou Zheng's training situation, and learned that Zhou Zheng was a very hard-working and fast-improving player. He no longer had any worries and gave this order directly.

Tracy Maddy is certainly talented, but his laziness and slackness have always been a headache for Adidas, and potential injuries have made their promotional activities difficult.

So, now that the Tracy Maddy team wants the lion to open his mouth, let's simply tear everything apart. Anyway, if you have lost Kobe Bryant and lost a Tracy Maddie, you can simply tear it down and rebuild it completely!

When it was learned that Adidas had stopped all negotiations and decided to promote all resources in favor of Zhou Zheng. Tracy Maddie's team finally got anxious, and they began to find Adidas responsible, expressing their willingness to accept a five-year contract of 70 million.

However... The past has been turned over. Now Adidas is determined to support Zhou Zheng on the throne.

Tracy Maddie was so angry that he fired a whole bunch of people when he learned that his team had messed everything up. However, all this has become an established fact.

……

After the press conference, Filright introduced Matthew Krisman, vice president of Citibank, to Zhou Zheng backstage, and Yang Sydney had an in-depth exchange with him, and then signed the loan contract with Fairlight's guarantee.

Zhou Zheng borrowed $100 million from the bank in his personal name and repaid it in ten years, with an annual repayment amount of $14,264,527 including principal and interest.

This repayment amount is also quite a headache for Zhou Zheng, because so far... His stable annual income is only the endorsement contract given by Adidas, but after removing taxes, he only gets more than 6 million. If he enters the NBA as a lottery pick, then he can get an annual salary of about 4 million or so, and this annual salary will only be about 2.6 million after tax deduction. Added up to less than nine million. This still leaves a funding gap of more than $5 million.

Matthew Scriban was very curious about why Zhou Zheng needed such a large amount, of course, he was not worried that Tiger would not be able to pay it back, before that, he had already investigated Zhou Zheng's worth background, and he was very confident in his ability to repay.

"Just become a multimillionaire, you are burdened with hundreds of millions of debts, don't you think all this is a bit ridiculous?" After the whole signing was completed, Filright said to Zhou Zheng: "Actually, I still don't know what projects you will invest in with this hundred million dollars." ”

"Internet projects in China. ”

"The internet is a good thing, but... You have to know that the bubble in the Internet is huge. If your investment goes down the drain, it means your entire career is in vain. Again, it's based on having a career as a star player. ”

"This investment will definitely not be wasted, and maybe in ten years this investment will make me more valuable than you. Zhou Zheng said confidently: "Now in the eyes of Americans and Europeans, China is a huge manufacturing plant, where there is cheap and practical labor. But the industrial structure will be transformed, and no one knows what will happen in ten years. In time, it will become the largest consumer market in the world!"

"I'm looking forward to that day. Fairlett nodded: "I hope that one day, China will become the market with the highest sales volume of our sneakers." ”

"There will be a day. Zhou Zheng is very confident.

Filright liked Zhou Zheng's self-confidence very much, and he saw his own shadow in Zhou Zheng. Young people should have this kind of gambling and dare to make decisions. Youth is not used to bet on tomorrow, why do you want youth?

Although Zhou Zheng behaved lightly in front of Fairlight, after leaving the backstage and sitting in the car with Yang Xueli, he still couldn't help but feel anxious about the loan pressed on him: "Sister, I have to increase my income next." You're going to have to help me get more endorsements. ”

"Oh, Coca-Cola's global spokesperson. $1,000,000 a year. Yang Xueli handed over a contract.

"One million is too little, right?" Zhou Zheng said a little angrily: "After paying taxes for one million, there are only about 600,000 left." ”

"Who made you not famous now? When you're famous in the NBA, commercial endorsement contracts will fly at you like snowflakes. Otherwise... Difficult. Yang Xueli shook her head: "I studied the NBA's rookie contract, and the most beneficial form of contract for you is three plus one, which means that your NBA salary will only be about four million in three years, and this is still based on the situation that you are a lottery pick." ”

"Oh, what should I do. Zhou Zheng felt that his head was a little big.

"It's not impossible. Yang Xueli raised her eyebrows: "You can go back to China to make movies and TV series, now your salary is easy 100,000 episodes, no problem, and you can get two or three million for making movies." And there are ads ... Miscellaneous, after a summer vacation, it shouldn't be a big problem to get a net income of $1 million. ”

"I ......" Zhou Zheng was depressed for a while, he was just a hobby for making TV and movies, and he didn't want to become a star in the entertainment industry. But now... With a lot of debt, it seems that there is only one way.

"Hey, that's right. Shelly, I've heard that movie stars in the U.S. can earn two or three million dollars, can you help me talk about two films......?

Before Zhou Zheng's words were finished, Yang Xueli glanced at him angrily: "Big brother, I am just starting out in the domestic entertainment industry, and you actually expect me to help you get tens of millions of dollars in Hollywood? I'm not a god!!"

Zhou Zheng was depressed when he heard this, and in the current situation, he could only return to China to shoot some TV series in exchange for some 'meager' income.
