Chapter 1570: As long as you have a heart
Compared with Sarapova's switch, James's defection, and the next person's departure is undoubtedly a huge blow to Nike, which can be described as falling apart. There is only one person who can make Nike feel like the sky is falling apart, and that is Jordan, the basketball god who is gradually moving towards glory with Nike.
Yes, Jordan. Since Jordan signed a contract with Nike in 1984, which was in trouble at the time, the two sides have been like water, mutual benefit, and when Jordan is in full swing and reigns in the world, Nike has also become the world's largest and best sporting goods company over Adidas.
To put it mildly, without Jordan, Nike would not be where it is today. In everyone's eyes, the partnership between Jordan and Nike will continue until after Jordan retires. never thought that when Jordan was still playing, he parted ways with Nike. You know, the two have been working together for 18 years. The 18-year friendship broke up, which was unexpected by everyone.
Nike, in particular, was unexpected.
"Impossible!" exclaimed William Perez with a fist clenched, his face full of hideousness. He absolutely couldn't believe that Jordan would leave Nike and join Lin Feng, the so-called sporting goods company, although Lin Feng successively acquired "Converse" and "Nike", but its comprehensive strength is still not the opponent of "Nike".
As smart as Jordan, he should never abandon Nike and choose Lin Feng. It's irrational and infamous.
There was a burst of discussion among reporters at the scene. No one thought that Jordan would switch to "Lin Feng Sporting Goods Company", which is unimaginable, out of the imagination of these reporters. Looking at the smiling Lin Feng on the stage, all the reporters showed a trace of fear. Even Jordan can be poached from Nike, what else can this person not do? And this kind of person, is it something they can offend? Thinking that they once violently criticized Lin Feng and slandered them in the newspapers to the extreme, a certain handful of reporters felt a chill rise under their feet.
But in the blink of an eye, this thought dissipated without a trace. For this small group of journalists, their job is to gimmick, to create a gimmick that is enough to attract any reader. As for whether they will offend people because of this, such as Lin Feng, although they will be worried, it will not make them really pay attention. For them, they really didn't believe that Lin Feng could do anything to them.
I'm a reporter, who am I afraid of! A handful of extremely obscene and shameless reporters stared coldly at Lin Feng.
"Mr. Lin, may I ask you that you poached Jordan from Nike, didn't you trap Jordan in injustice? Jordan and Nike have been working together for 2 years, so it can be said that they grew up with Nike, and if they defected to Nike before retiring, isn't Jordan's behavior disloyal and unjust?" The "Sun" reporter stood up and asked stably.
Apparently, the Sun reporter was one of those small group of reporters.
Hearing this question, the reporters at the scene shuddered. This is a rather fatal question, and some reporters dare not ask it, for fear of offending Lin Feng, after all, Lin Feng's character is also famous. If you offend him, he will surely take revenge on you. So, some journalists thought about this question at the beginning, but didn't ask. Now a reporter from The Sun asked about it, and it was really cool. Anyway, if Lin Feng wants to retaliate, he will also look for the reporter of "The Sun", and will not look for them. And they have the same to write about.
All the reporters looked at Lin Feng with blazing eyes.
Lin Feng's fingers tapped lightly on the table. It's a tricky question, and if you don't answer it well, you'll lose Jordan's reputation, ruin the friendship between yourself and Jordan, and even affect the Houston Rockets' season preparation.
In short, the question of the reporter of The Sun is quite insidious. But since Lin Feng dares to dig Jordan, he is not afraid of reporters asking questions. As for the question of the reporter of the "Sun", it was also expected by Lin Feng.
"This reporter, you said that Jordan was disloyal and unjust, and I think what you said is not right. Jordan gave Nike all the prime of his basketball career, and he did his best for Nike. You know, if it weren't for Jordan, Nike wouldn't be where it is today, and it might even have been swallowed up by Adidas. Lin Feng said this, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"As for the reason why Jordan chose to join my 'Linfeng Sporting Goods Company', the point is also a 'righteousness'. Because my company has just been established, the so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, in order to make my sporting goods company go public normally, Jordan also risked being pointed out by thousands of people to help me. Therefore, Jordan is by no means treacherous, on the contrary, he is willing to bear the infamy of thousands of people for the sake of righteousness. Lin Feng sighed with emotion.
Many reporters looked at each other. They are no longer three-year-olds, they are all people who have seen the world. Although there is indeed righteousness on this shijie, and there are many people who stick knives in their brothers' ribs, this is by no means a reason for Jordan to betray Nike. No one believes that Jordan simply gave up Nike for a righteous reason and chose Lin Feng.
"Mr. Lin, may I ask how much is the contract finance you gave Jordan?" a reporter stood up and asked.
This issue is quite sensitive,
Lin Feng smiled.
"The amount of this contract should have been kept secret, Jordan didn't want to do it, but since you asked, I'll satisfy your curiosity. Lin Feng immediately announced Jordan's contract to sign "Lin Feng Sporting Goods Company".
When all the reporters saw it, they were immediately dumbfounded. Jordan signed a three-year, $50,000 contract with Woodwind Sporting Goods, and Jordan received a commission for each pair of his sneakers sold. That's a little bit higher than Nike's contract, but it's not a surprise to all journalists. To the surprise of all the reporters, 2% of Jordan's contracted salary was donated to a charitable fund. In other words, 10,000 of the 3-year $50,000 contract Jordan will take out to do good deeds.
2% of the income is used to do good deeds, which is not the highest charity ratio in the world, but it is quite staggering, and it is enough to block any criticism that Jordan abandoned Nike for money and switched to Lin Feng. No one can blame Jordan for this.
"In addition, not only Jordan, but all of our company's contracted artists will set up a charity fund with 5%-2% of their income to help children around the world who cannot achieve their dreams to achieve their dreams. This fund is called the Dream Fund. It will soon be regulated by 'Woodwind Sporting Goods Company'. As the initiator and organizer of the 'Dream Fund', our company will also invest 1% of its profits in this 'Dream Fund' every year. Lin Feng stood up and said impassionedly.
All the reporters took a sharp breath.
"Bang!" Nike President William Perez, who heard the news from a distance, slammed off the table.
Lin Feng's hand sacrifice will completely quell the unfavorable comments of the outside world on Lin Feng's crazy poaching, and at the same time, I am afraid that all the media in the world will promote "Lin Feng Sporting Goods Company". And many of its stars who have switched to Lin Feng will not only not have their reputation damaged because of this, but will even benefit from it. After all, with the halo of charity, it is the abdication of all evils. No one will accuse these stars of "treachery", no one will spurn their infidelity because they are doing good deeds.
If anyone dares to accuse these stars, I am afraid that the fans behind them will immediately jump out to defend their idols.
Damn, this is a typical oppression of people with money! "Adidas" president Hainer was jealous.
Originally, "Adidas" thought that this would be a contest between Lin Feng and Nike. After all, most of the stars poached by Lin Feng are stars signed by Nike, and they have nothing to do with "Adidas". After all, there is one more wolf in the sporting goods market, anyway, the current pattern is the leader of Nike, and the rest of the manufacturers can only follow Nike to compete for 10,000 years. For "Adidas", nothing to lose. Most of the market that Lin Feng has encroached on should be Nike, and for other companies, it may be an opportunity.
But I didn't expect Lin Feng to use money to suppress people and play so beautifully. It is said to be doing good deeds, but it is not advertising, doing publicity, and it is one of the haode propaganda techniques. After this, I am afraid that there will be another tiger in the global sporting goods market. A tiger that is enough to compete with Nike for supremacy in the global sporting goods market.
Although it is said that if two tigers fight, one must be injured, but even if two tigers fight, one dies and one is injured, the tiger is still a tiger after all, not a mouse, and it is not something that these wolves can covet. Maybe when the remaining tiger is injured, the wolf can still be majestic, but once the tiger heals from the injury and dominates the mountains and forests, it will be more ferocious and invincible, and then it will be the end of these wolves.
Thinking of this, Haina felt a pang of sadness. However, he will not admit defeat, this game has just begun, although Adidas is currently behind, but it does not mean that Adidas must not have a chance. Perhaps, Adidas can also take advantage of the momentum again, just as Nike replaced itself 2 years ago, and Adidas can also replace Nike this time. As for the "Lin Feng Sporting Goods Company", although it acquired "Converse" and "Reebok", sometimes the weak alliance may not be able to become stronger, and it may even become weaker.
This is the perception of Adidas' president Hainer, and it is also the perception of Nike President William Perez.
But apparently, they underestimated Lin Feng.
"Our company will invest $500 million to build a children's dream park in the near future, and at that time, we will invite children from all over the world to come to the children's dream park on June 1 next year. Here, I appeal to all those around the world who volunteer to do something for children to join our company. Not for anything else, but for children. As for your contract, our company will definitely help you solve it! As long as you have a heart for children!" As soon as Lin Feng's words came out, the entire sporting goods market was like a tsunami, causing a violent earthquake.
Lin Feng's words are so hateful, they are really hateful!
