Chapter 381: The Largest Endorsement Contract in History

After Tang Hao stepped on this foot, he saw the bodyguard coming up, retracted his foot, and said lightly: "Call the police." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

With that, he turned and went into the room.

Before Swift woke up, Tang Hao saw that her face was not very good, so he picked her up from the bed, went out and asked the bodyguard to drive her phantom over, and then sent her to a nearby hospital.

Ether is not very damaging to the human body, but if it is directly entered from the mouth and nose, it is easy to cause fainting and nausea, and after staying in the hospital for a while, Swift has woken up, but his face is a little pale.

Through Tang Hao's understated narration, Swift knew the general situation of the matter.

Although Tang Hao's story is very simple and casual, the three veterans with daggers in their hands know the danger factor when they think about it.

"You can sleep for a while. Tang Hao said and stood up from the side of the bed, in the middle of the night, he was also a little sleepy.

"Wait. Swift muttered.

Tang Hao looked at Swift suspiciously.

"Can you wait until I'm asleep before leaving?" Swift looked at Tang Hao with some expectation in his eyes.

"Okay. Tang Hao said and sat back on the edge of the bed.

"Hands. Swift said and held out his hand.

Tang Hao stretched out his hand, Swift grabbed his hand, closed his eyes, and his face slowly became calm.

After a while, she fell asleep.

Tang Hao was about to get up, but found that Swift's hand had been holding him tightly, and he didn't let go after pulling it a few times.

This ward is a special ward, Tang Hao saw that the bed was quite big, and he didn't pay attention to it, leaned on the other side of Swift, and just lay down and fell asleep.

The tossing and turning in the middle of the night was tiring enough, and not long after lying down, he quickly fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, he felt something pressing on his chest, and when he looked down, he saw Swift's head resting on his chest, and his face was filled with a look of happiness.

"Hmmm......"

Just then, Swift let out a whistling gasp and woke up.

When she looked up and saw herself lying in Tang Hao's arms, her face turned slightly red, and then said, "Thank you." ”

Tang Hao smiled, didn't say anything, got up from the bed, and continued: "Are you hungry? I'll buy you something to eat." ”

"Don't you have to train in the morning?" Swift asked.

"No, they're all still at Sacrato Gate, and they won't be back until noon at the earliest, and I'll send you back to the villa and go back. Tang Hao replied.

"Hmm. Swift nodded with a slightly red face, after experiencing these things, she could clearly feel that she was much more dependent on Tang Hao.

After breakfast, Tang Hao sent Swift back to the villa.

On the way back, the two chatted about last night, and at Tang Hao's suggestion, Swift asked her agent to triple the number of bodyguards.

After saying goodbye to Swift, Tang Hao called the police station.

The interrogation at the police station has ended, and the result is that these few are pure vagabonds, former soldiers, who have taken Swift's idea and want to extort some money.

The kidnapping of celebrities is nothing new, not long ago, reality TV star, celebrity Kim Kardashian was kidnapped at gunpoint, and the bandits extorted more than 10 million people, and no one has been caught so far.

In the United States, because guns are legal, law and order is sometimes a lot more chaotic than imagined.

However, the result of this interrogation made Tang Hao feel a little weird, and he felt very wrong, but he couldn't tell where it was.

He didn't bother to think about things he couldn't figure out, and then went back to the team.

After the afternoon training, Tang Hao returned to his villa and lay in the courtyard to enjoy the sun.

After Zhuang Jiajie called, he brought the white man to the apartment after a while.

"Let me introduce you to Tang Hao, the hottest athlete in the world today, this is Nike's global vice president Mr. Lauren Courtson. ”

"Don, I'm excited to meet you. Cottson looked really excited, not only because he saw Tang Hao, but also because he was going to accomplish something that had never been done in history today.

"Mr. Courtson, I'm glad to meet you, too. ”

Tang Hao said and greeted the servant, who turned around and went to make coffee.

"Zhuang said that Tang has a deep ethnic affection, but the contract I brought today is absolutely full of sincerity. ”

When James first entered the league and was a rookie, Nike signed a 7-year 9000w contract with him, which also set a record for the largest contract for a rookie in the league.

Tang Hao has made endorsements for food and cars before, but compared to his influence, the number of endorsements is obviously small, especially after entering the NBA, the most concerned sneaker contract has been in a blank state.

Zhuang Jiajie has been watching until Nike can't wait to release this big move.

"Oh, I'm a little curious when you say that. ”

"We want to sign you on a lifetime endorsement contract. ”

Hearing what Courtson said, Tang Hao was stunned for a moment, Zhuang Jiajie had also mentioned some endorsement contracts to him before, but it was the first time he had heard such a term as a lifetime contract.

"For life?" Tang Hao smiled and said, "Are you going to buy me out?"

"Yes, we're ready to buy out your sneakers. "Cottson makes no secret of his ambitions.

"And what about your offer?" Tang Hao looked at Courtson very curiously, he wanted to know where this white man who was only sixty years old, or Nike behind it, got such confidence.

"Gentlemen, your coffee. The maid brought them coffee.

Courtson glanced at the maid at this time.

"Luna, you go down first. Tang Hao said.

The maid nodded, put down her coffee, and exited the living room.

Tang Hao picked up the coffee at this time, took a sip and looked at Courtson.

Curtson held out two fingers at this point and continued, "$1 billion." ”

"Poof~" Zhuang Jiajie, who was drinking coffee on the side, squirted out directly.

Tang Hao also looked at Courtson in shock.

US$1 billion, or 6.5 billion RMB......

A sneaker contract, this value, even if it is a lifetime contract, is a realistic version of smashing people to death with money.

"You're not kidding, are you? Zhuang Jiajie wiped his mouth at this time and asked, Cotson had been selling to him before and refused to say anything, but now that he said it, he was really shocked.

"Zhuang, how can I say that he is also the executive vice president of Nike. Cotson said in a calm tone.

Tang Hao drank his coffee, put down his cup, then looked at Courtson and said, "I'm not interested in signing a lifetime contract. ”

"Whew~"

Tang Hao opened his mouth, Zhuang Jiajie's eyes widened, and he looked at Tang Hao incredulously.

That's $1 billion, not $100 million, not even 10 million.

Courtson didn't seem to expect Tang Hao to say this, he followed: "1.5 billion, this is the largest contract we can give." ”

Tang Hao raised his eyes and looked at Courtson, he didn't like the lifetime contract a little, but he didn't have a hard time with money.

"2 billion, 1 billion in advance after the contract is signed. Tang Hao said.

Zhuang Jiajie took a deep breath, the business negotiation in front of him, adding 500 million at one time, was really unheard of for him.

"I need to ask the board for advice and give me fifteen minutes. Cotson spoke.

Tang Hao made a gesture of please.

When Courtson went out, Zhuang Jiajie lowered his voice and said, "That's 1.5 billion!"

It can be heard from the tone that Zhuang Jiajie can't remain calm in front of such a large amount of money.

"It's just the icing on the cake. Tang Hao was very calm.

"Sometimes I really doubt your age, this money is enough to buy a small country. ”

"Zimbabwe?" said Tang Hao with a smile.

Zhuang Jiajie was amused and laughed out loud.

After ten minutes or so, Courtson returned, with a smile on his face, and it looked like it was done.

"Don, this is definitely the craziest decision I've ever seen. The first thing Cotson said when he came in was the result.

"It's going to be the craziest contract I've ever seen. Zhuang Jiajie stood up with a smile.

At noon the next day, Nike held a press conference to announce that it had signed a lifetime endorsement contract with Tang Hao, with a contract of $2 billion.

After the press conference, the media and fans around the world went into a frenzy.

"The first lifetime sneaker endorsement contract in human history, foreign capital is also the largest endorsement contract in history, unless this person is called Tang Hao, otherwise it is all fake. The New York Times commented.

"$2 billion, for the vast majority of athletes, this is absolutely astronomical, but for Tang Hao, this is definitely a low-risk, high-return investment, this is another gorgeous miss by Adidas. The Times made such a judgment.

"Sports athletes can also be worth tens of billions, Tang Hao explained how to become a rich and patriotic athlete, and the charm of sports competition shines because of him. China Daily praised.

At the same time, after Tang Hao signed this endorsement contract, his Weibo fans exploded from 40 million to 80 million, an explosive growth, which illustrates the unprecedented influence brought by this incident.

"How willing, Tang Hao can even become the first active player in history to have an NBA team!"

Some fans were even more pleasantly surprised to find this.

The comments from the outside world are overwhelming, but except for inviting the players to eat a big meal and giving expensive gifts to his teammates, Tang Hao's current life has not changed much.

The December competition continued, and the tacit understanding between Tang Hao and Rondo continued to rise.

After joining the Lakers, Rondo has averaged 13.5 assists per game, showing signs of returning to his former peak.

The excellent form has also brought a good record to the team, with a record of 4 wins and 2 losses in half a month, and the team is making rapid progress towards the playoffs.

The Lakers have risen strongly, but the Kings, who are also in the West, are as mired in a quagmire as ever, with little improvement from last year, and coach Malone was fired by the team's owner because of his record.

This decision also triggered Cousins' reversal, considering that Malone is the only head coach he respects so far in his career, and he was impulsive and irritable in the game, and the Kings' record plummeted.

This also pushed the patience of the Kings owners to the limit, and rumors about the Cousins trade flew all over the sky for a while.

On this day, after the team's training, Kupchak came to the training hall to find Tang Hao alone.

"Don, I called you here, I have something to ask you about the transaction. Kupchak said bluntly.

Tang Hao was slightly surprised.

Transactions are a matter for team owners and managers, and players are rarely consulted.

"We're ready to trade DeMarcus Cousins, and the talks are at a viable stage. Kupchak added.

Cousins?

Tang Hao was even more surprised.

Although rumors are flying all over the world now, I didn't expect the king to really want to sell the core of the team.

Tang Hao looked up at Kupchak, already knowing why he was asking for his opinion.

Cousins' strength is obvious to all, but the temper tantrum is a time bomb, and now the team is on the rise, it may skyrocket, or it may be contradictory and fall back to the bottom.

"Mitch, I can't advise you on that. Tang Hao said bluntly.

"It's a private chat behind closed doors, and I just wanted to hear your advice. ”

"Personally, I'm fine. Tang Hao said.

Kupchak nodded after hearing this, there was a short war of words between Tang Hao and Cousins before, Tang Hao is now the absolute core of the team, and he must know Tang Hao's attitude.

Trade rumors are rife, and the conflict between Cousins and the Kings' management has intensified, and the trade rumors have gradually risen to a substantial stage.

With a little over a month to go before the trade deadline, the rumors have risen to this stage, which is very rare in the NBA.

Major media reports have also gradually escalated, with the Houston Rockets and New Orleans Pelicans being the most rumored, and the progressive rumors have made people constantly speculate about who will be Cousins' next home.

And just when the rumors were about to become reality, Yahoo reporter woj suddenly broke the news.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Kings reached an agreement that the Lakers would send Jordan Clarkson, Jordan Hill and Carlos Boozer, 2015 first-round picks in a trade for Cousins and Derrick Williams of the Kings.

WOJ has a very high prestige in the journalist circle, and in fact, many reporters from other media outlets have reported the news one after another.

Cousins, one of the strongest interior players in the active league, eventually joined the Lakers.

This news completely shook the entire alliance.

God-like rookie Tang Hao, Rondo who is in recovering form, plus Kobe Bryant, who is about to return from injury, and now Cousins, the team that was originally predicted to be at the bottom of the league suddenly becomes unpredictable, and even some radical fans have already talked about the championship.
