Listening to Pelinka's smug laughter, Li Du knew that Pelinka had successfully won a short-term high-priced contract for himself, but he didn't know how many times the specific number was, so he smiled: "Okay, I'll go to the supermarket to buy groceries now, and I'll see you at home in an hour, let's have a good chat!" ”

"Good! Lee, I want to eat ......" Pelinka opened her mouth to say what she wanted to eat. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Du hurriedly interrupted him: "Stop! Robert, I'm not a chef! Rest assured, since today is a day to celebrate, I will make a very hearty dinner to entertain you! After speaking, without waiting for Pelinka to say anything, Li Du hung up the phone directly.

Pelinka hasn't eaten anything else since she tasted Chinese food at Li Du! In his words, he doesn't know anything else about China, but when it comes to food, China is definitely the first in the world!

Li Du looked at the time, it was only 10 o'clock in the morning, let alone dinner, it was still a long time before lunch. You can't let Pelinka eat a little at noon, right? So, Li Du thought of a wonderful way to eat, hot pot! As long as the hot pot is ready, let alone eat it from noon to night, it is no problem to eat it until the next day!

After thinking about it, Li Du bought a lot of ingredients and ingredients from the supermarket and almost filled his Ferrari!

Back at home, Li Du began to fry the base, whether the hot pot is delicious or not, the base material is very important! Of course, Li Du can't fry a good base, but it's not bad, and it's guaranteed to make Pelinka happy!

While he was busy, Pelinka arrived. Li Du didn't close the door, Pelinka directly pushed the door and came in, and there was no need for politeness between them.

As soon as she entered, Pelinka smelled a strong aroma. He walked into the kitchen in three steps and two steps, swallowed his saliva, and asked, "Li, what are you doing delicious?" It smells so good! ”

"Hot pot, have you eaten it?" Li Du said without looking back: "This way of eating has been circulating in China for thousands of years, and there are many restaurants like this in the United States. ”

"I've never heard of it......," Pelinka shook her head, "there are so many varieties of your Chinese food, I guess I won't be able to eat them all in my life!" ”

"That's right!" Li Du said with a smile: "Don't say that you are an American, even if you are a native Chinese, you can't eat all Chinese food in your life!" ”

When the two were talking, the base was also fried, Li Du took out the soup that had been prepared and poured it into the pot, and while he was busy getting the hot pot outside, he asked: "Robert, you said that you helped me get the best contract, what is the specific situation, let's talk about it!" Which one did you sign it? ”

While Li Du was busy, Pelinka replied: "Signed Nike!" ”

After Pelinka gave this answer, he continued to analyze: "You have performed very well this season, and you have won both the Rookie of the Year and the Best Defensive Player at the same time, and there are so many evocative and desirable things about you, so everyone understands your value!" After the Lakers played the Suns, Nike gave an offer of 30 million for five years, while Adidas gave 36.5 million for six years. ”

Li Du was shocked, he had overestimated the price enough, but he didn't expect it to be underestimated in the end! No wonder so many basketball stars are all kinds of endorsements and signed contracts with various companies, it turns out that the price of these contracts is so high! No matter which one you sign with, you will be a multimillionaire yourself!

Seeing Li Du's shocked expression, Pelinka said leisurely: "I returned both offers!" ”

"Huh?" Li Du was stunned for a moment, "Robert, the price of these two contracts is so high, why are you returning?" ”

Pelinka shook her head with a smile, sat at the dinner table and waited for Li Du to make a hot pot, and continued: "Lee, about basketball, you are the most special and talented player I have ever met, but when it comes to business, you don't understand anything!" Let me tell you! ”

As he spoke, Pelinka picked up his chopsticks and clicked on the table: "These two contracts do give a good price, more than $6 million per year, which is already very high in the endorsement contract of the rookie, comparable to some second-rate stars who have been famous for many years." But both contracts have one problem in common, and that is time! Both contracts are too long! ”

Li Duyi frowned, he didn't think too much, after all, he heard that Kobe Bryant and they had also signed for many years. So he asked, "What's wrong with the long time?" I heard from the boss that he signed a seven-year contract with Nike! ”

Pelinka carefully explained to Li Du: "Kobe Bryant is a superstar who has been famous for many years, his value is already very high, and it has been fixed!" Lee, you're different! You've just entered the NBA, and you're worth more than that! I believe that with your rise in the NBA, coupled with the Chinese market behind you, your value may even be higher than that of LeBron and Kobe! And all this happens, at most, it will be two or three years! After two or three years, you can already sign up for about 20 million a year, but if you sign a long-term contract now, you can't change it at that time! So, you say, how much will you lose? ”

"This ......" Li Du smiled bitterly: "Robert, are you so sure, will I become a superstar in the future?" What if it doesn't work out? ”

While speaking, Li Du had already laid out everything, then lit the fire and began to heat the hot pot, Pelinka glanced at the hot pot with only soup, swallowed his saliva, and continued: "Li, in fact, I don't have confidence in you, I have confidence in the Chinese market!" ”

"With the passage of time, the Chinese market has accounted for an increasing proportion of the world, and the Chinese market has become a big cake that all businesses must compete for! Nike and Adidas have become fierce in the competition for the Chinese market in recent years! Even if you can't become a superstar, but with your appeal in the Chinese market, you will definitely be more than the current price! ”

I see! Li Du understood in his heart that businessmen pursue profits, China, the world's largest market, is impossible for all merchants to give up, Li Du has a natural advantage in China, so in the eyes of many businessmen, it doesn't matter whether Li Du is a superstar or not, the benefits he brings will definitely not be lower than that of a superstar!

Put all the ingredients into the pot, Li Du took out the old wine that the master gave him, the wine was amber, and the silk thread could almost be pulled out with chopsticks! After pouring a glass for Pelinka and himself, Li Du finally asked, "Robert, what happened in the end?" How did you sign with Nike? ”

Pelinka raised his glass and smiled at Li Du: "I told them the ultimatum that we must sign a short-term contract, and it is also the most important basis for us to consider which one to sign, they can't help it, and in the end Adidas gave three years of $17 million, while Nike gave three years of $18 million." So I signed Nike! ”

"$18 million!" Li Du's eyes lit up, three years seems to be the shortest period of signing a contract, he only signed for three years, and he is still a multimillionaire!

Li Du raised his wine glass and touched Pelinka, laughing happily: "Robert, you are really my good agent!" Come, I'll teach you a word of Chinese, cheers! ”

"Cheers!" Pelinka also laughed, lamely learned Li Du's pronunciation, and drank all the wine in the quilt!

They ate this meal until the afternoon, and they also drank a lot of wine, and they were all a little drunk. Li Du put his arm around Pelinka and said to him, "Robert, thank you for getting such a good contract for me, but I still have something I want you to help me figure it out." ”
