Chapter 328: The Big Contract

"Alright guys, this game is over. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Next game, let me double down on winning back!"

As soon as An Jie spoke, the Trail Blazers players who had been buried in their heads raised their heads again. They know how bad their performance is, and to be honest, because they usually have a good relationship in private, they still feel a little guilty about An Jie.

You said that Anjie performed so well, but lost because of the weakness of his teammates. As long as this person's teammates have a normal relationship with him, then his teammates will be more or less guilty.

"Hey, what's wrong? What is this, aren't we just taking a nap? LaMarcus, I'm going to pass you the ball in a more timely manner in the next game so that you can get better chances. Don't worry, man, you're not allowed once or twice once in a while, so that others can survive. Don't frown. You kid didn't make a few shots today, how could you get a high score. Hey Matthews, the next game......" An Jie talked to his teammates one by one, solving problems for them one by one. An Jie didn't do it on purpose, it's just that he felt that he should do it.

An Jie is not a person who likes to fight for status and power, he has never regarded himself as a core, and he has never blocked himself from being a big brother in the locker room. But subconsciously, An Jie can't get rid of this identity.

He always wants to lead the team and help his teammates. Even if he doesn't care about the status of the boss, Anjie knows that it is Ricard, that is the fans, and that is the responsibility given to him by the brothers who fight side by side with him, and since it is a responsibility, it must be fulfilled seriously.

"Ann, you've done a great enough job today. We're not going to hold you back in the next game. Aldridge patted An Jie's back embarrassedly, as a second-in-command, his performance today is indeed a little unreasonable.

"Okay, what drags down and doesn't drag. Everyone is responsible for losing, it's not anyone's fault. Hey, we're a team, aren't we?" Anjie said, and stretched out his fist at Aldridge.

"You're right, Ann, we're a team. Aldridge smiled and punched Anjie.

"What do you say?" Anjie then threw a fist at Jamal Crawford. Crawford may be a bit of a solo player on the court, but that's just his style of play. This guy's original intention is also to hope that the team can win. As a result, Crawford also bumped fists with Anjie.

Subsequently, An Jie high-fived and punched his teammates one by one, encouraging each other. Ricard happily watched the scene in the dressing room and quietly disappeared outside the door. An Jie will never let him down. That doesn't change either on or off the field.

When he got home, An Jie threw himself on the sofa. After the training just now, I seem to be very energetic. He felt that he really liked that feeling.

Trusted and recognized by everyone. Although his teammates on the Thunder used to see him that way, at the Trail Blazers, he felt that the situation was a little different.

At the Thunder, he's never the guy who leads the team. But with the Trail Blazers, his teammates were willing to listen to him and charge with him. Anjie found that he seemed to be starting to like the title of team leader.

At this time, An Jie's mobile phone suddenly rang. looked at the caller ID, it was not Catherine, which made An Jie a little disappointed. But when Moslav called at this time, there must have been something important.

An Jie didn't dare to slack off, and immediately swiped the screen of his mobile phone and connected to the international call from Muslav.

"An, is the training over?" Moslav knew An Jie's habits, so he didn't call earlier, just for fear of disturbing An Jie's training.

"It's over, just got home? What are the instructions, Mr. Moslav. Although Anjie is the boss of Moslav, from beginning to end, Anjie listens to Muslav very much. Not because of anything else, but because he knew that everything Muslav did must be for his own good. Only if Anjie earns more and fights well, can Muslav get more profit from it. In the same way, Muslav also respects Anjie's opinion very much, and will not secretly operate for his own selfish interests.

"You know what, Ann, your sneaker contract is about to expire in a few months. Moslav had just received a call from Nike, and he immediately called Anjie.

"Really? Like, I almost forgot. An Jie looked at the ceiling and thought hard, except for advertising shoots and bonuses, An Jie rarely had contact with Nike. After a long time, Anjie took it for granted that he could wear Nike equipment.

"When can you care about the money in your pocket? Many NBA players go bankrupt quickly within a few years of retiring because they are like you, they are carefree and don't manage their money when they are players, and they squander their assets within a few years of retirement. Okay, I'm not going to talk to you so much today. Seeing that your contract is about to expire, many sneaker manufacturers have sent me faxes, hoping to reach a cooperative relationship with you. Do you want me to send you a fax to show you the contract?" Muslav did not miss an opportunity to lecture Anjie.

"No need, you can tell me the key points directly on the phone. An Jie felt a headache when he thought of the dense documents.

"Then I'll get straight to the point, Reebok, Jordan, Peak, Anta, and Adidas all offered very high prices, but these are all cash contracts. "Rickard has actually thrown these manufacturers aside, Nike's contract is in his hands at the moment, this paper contract can make Anjie's annual income several times more in an instant!

"Where's my old club Nike?" asked An Jie curiously.

"I'm telling you, Nike is different from other manufacturers, they are ready to renew your contract with a signed shoe contract for another five years!" Moslav deliberately accentuated the words "signed shoe contract".

"Signed shoe contract? is that kind of contract, you can make your own sneakers?" An Jie suddenly became interested, he used to buy Kobe Bryant's basketball shoes when he was in high school. At that time, saving a year's New Year's money was enough for him to buy a pair. Unexpectedly, now I also got a chance to release my own sneakers.

"To put it simply, yes. Nike will tailor a pair of sneakers just for you, and you can even add your own ideas to the design of the sneakers!" Muslav seemed to be able to see Anjie's excited expression across the phone.

"So, what about the contract details?"

"Signed shoe contracts are complex and include a variety of clauses. I'll give you a brief recitation. They ask you to play at least 55 games for the team this season, and of course, that's for a shortened season, and the normal season after that will definitely go up. If you miss too many games, you're going to lose $3.5 million!"

"In other words, I have a appearance fee of 3.5 million yuan in just one season? Oh my God, I remember that my last sneaker contract was only 2.8 million US dollars!" Although An Jie didn't pay much attention to money, this astronomical amount still shocked this stupid boy.

"And that's not all, boy, if you win the MVP, Nike is willing to shell out $4 million to congratulate you. 500,000 for the Western Conference Semifinals, 1 million for the Western Conference Finals, 1.5 million for the Finals! 3 million for the overall championship! All these rewards can be accumulated. Of course, you can also take a 5% cut of the profits from the sales of your exclusive sneakers, as long as your sneakers don't die too badly, a few million dollars a year is still guaranteed!" "Even though Moslav has a lot of experience, he has to admit that this is the biggest contract he has ever been involved in! If Anjie performs well, he can benefit tens of millions of dollars in compensation for a year of sneaker contract alone. Fortunately, Nike did not directly renew the contract with Anjie for ten years, otherwise, this would have become a super contract worth hundreds of millions!

An Jie was dumbfounded on the other end of the phone, even for the current An Jie, Nike's remuneration was still too high.

"So...... Mr. Moslav, do I really have a choice? Or are you just informing me that we're going to renew my contract with Nike? "Anjie doesn't need to listen to the quotations of other manufacturers to know that they can't compare at all.

"The choice is yours, I'll miss you from other manufacturers. Adidas is willing to give a 13-year contract of $150 million, Peak is $50 million for 5 years, Anta is 80 million for 6 years, and Jordan ......"

"Okay, Mr. Moslav, even a fool like me knows that I should choose Nike!" Don't look at Adidas's 150 million special bluffs, but those 13 years are even more terrifying. After signing a contract with Nike for 5 years, even if it is found to be unsuitable, Anjie still has room to change owners. But for 13 years, that's pretty much handing over most of his career to Adidas.

"Hahaha, you're right, we have no choice!" Muslav was very happy to reach an agreement with Anjie, when he received Anjie from Divac, he couldn't have imagined that this guy could become a gold-absorbing machine. Of course, Anjie's achievements in basketball surprised Moslav even more.

"By the way, in the next game you play at home against the Nuggets, Nike headquarters will send two senior executives to watch the game. Be well, and I hope that defeat against the Kings doesn't affect your form. "Moslav knows that if Anjie performs well, the two high-level executives will be in a good mood, and maybe they will increase the price!

"Don't worry, Mr. Moslav, even without Nike executives, I'll do my best. Anjie remembered what he did in the dressing room today, and he was full of confidence in himself and his teammates!

AnJie will use his actions to prove that the conditions given by Nike are not big contracts at all, but good quality and low price!

In Portland, AnJie is ready to continue on the road to the top!
