Chapter 138: Love and Endorsement

Business at this steakhouse looks good, and there are more than two dozen tables in the hall that are made of seven-seven-eight-eight. The soft music wafting from the stereos makes the atmosphere a lot warmer.

Sun Yi quickly recognized the girl sitting with her back to the door, because the other party's tall figure was too eye-catching. He walked quickly to the dining table and saw that the other party was looking down at his phone. The long brown hair that looked like a waterfall hid Tamar's face tightly.

"Can I sit here?" The guy pointed to the opposite of the girl and asked softly.

"If you want to sit down, do it!"

The lukewarm answer made Sun Yi smile bitterly.

It wasn't until the two of them finished ordering that the girl spoke again.

"If you come in 1 second late just now, I will definitely want you to look good, and tell you that I am a fifth black belt in taekwondo." The girl stretched out her jade arm and swung it vigorously in the air.

When Tama raised her head to threaten, she finally revealed her delicate face with a hint of wildness in her demureness.

Belch! Holy! Hit the jackpot! A Chinese guy who hasn't been close to a woman for more than two years shows a standard pig brother.

After the girl saw the other party's expression, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned to show a smug smile. "Hey! Hi! Hi! I've never seen a beautiful woman, I didn't dare to look at it just now. ”

Sun Yi, whose expression finally returned to normal, hurriedly explained: "Your question just now was too direct, and we Oriental men are generally more reserved. ”

"Cut! When chatting online, I don't see how reserved you are. It's not that you want to study some esoteric issues with me. With that, two red clouds floated on Tamar's face.

"Ugh! This ......"

"Alright, don't explain. I'll ask one more question, and you have to answer it truthfully. If you dare to play tricks on me, I'll leave right away. ”

"Okay." Why are there so many questions about this girl?

"Do you think physical appearance is important for two people who are in love?"

The other party's solemn expression let Sun Yi know that this time was not a joke. "I think physical appearance is important, but not the most important thing."

"What's the most important thing?" The girl asked.

"Whether the personalities of the two are suitable or not, I think is more important."

"I know a lot, how many times have you been in love?"

"Ugh! Talked about a girlfriend before. What about you? ”

"Ugh! ……”

"Isn't it? You haven't been in a relationship? Hahahaha! That, I, I don't mean anything else, don't get me wrong. After noticing that the other party showed signs of annoyance, the guy hurriedly waved his hand and explained.

"Well, since you're more experienced than I am, you'll have to let me do it in the future!" The girl's move turned defense into offense, and she immediately resolved her embarrassment.

"I think I can do it." After collecting his smile, Sun Yi replied solemnly. The cute and somewhat brutal Latin girl in front of him made him feel the wonderful feeling of love coming.

"Okay, the dishes are all ready, let's eat." Tamar was a little embarrassed by the other party's fiery gaze, and quickly changed the topic.

"Why don't you eat it?"

"I just ate it."

"Then why are you staring at me all the time?"

"Huh! You eat, you eat, I'll look somewhere else."

……

A beautiful dinner, the atmosphere is not romantic, but the two quickly get used to the somewhat awkward atmosphere at first. There are also more topics on the table.

When they left this restaurant, from the looks of the two, they were much closer.

"Where are you staying today? I'll send you back. Sun Yi looked at the time on his phone, it was already more than 9 o'clock in the evening. A girl is indeed a little inappropriate to walk on the road with few pedestrians at this time.

"Alright, let's walk over here, it's not far from here."

Groov! The sound of clattering footsteps is so clear on the streets of this quiet town.

A strong male breath kept turning into the girl's delicate nose. It was the first time for him to walk down the street so close to a man of the opposite sex, and Tamar's heart couldn't help but flutter.

This coward, if you want to pull it, you can pull it, and people won't refuse. The girl could feel the other man's big hand, hesitating at her own hand.

Finally, after countless ideological struggles, Sun Yi's big hand took the weak and boneless jade hand of the Spanish girl. It feels good!

Instead of dodging, Tamar grabbed the young man's warm and powerful palm, revealing a happy smile under the cover of night.

……

"I'm here!" Tamar said, pointing to a hotel not far ahead.

Sun Yi followed the direction pointed by the other party and carefully observed the surrounding situation. Well! It looks like the security in this area is not bad.

"My companion is waiting for me in the room!" The meaning of this sentence, which the girl then added, was very obvious.

"Alright! Then I'll send you here. Then, let's call each other, shall we? ”

"Okay!"

"Bye-bye!"

"Bye!"

Turn around and walk towards Tamar at the hotel. I felt a little lost in my heart, and at the same time I was happy. Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps behind him. A pair of powerful arms twisted her around.

Immediately after, a hot lip was printed with lips that the girl had never developed.

Belch! It turns out that kissing feels like this. Tamar responded jerkily to the 'little snake' that slipped in his mouth and did not leave a hand. "Hmm!" Waves of strange feelings made the girl moan involuntarily.

The hot kiss that lasted for four or five minutes made Tamar, who was a little out of breath, gasp. Finally, with some reluctance, the boy left the enchanting place and ended the suffocating wet kiss......

"I like you!"

The boy's show of love made the Latin girl, who had just tasted love, take the initiative to offer her moistened lips for the first time......

Call! The two who separated again gasped slightly.

"Go back quickly, or I promise your companion won't see you tonight." The slightly emotional Chinese guy used his greatest perseverance to say this.

Bang! Tamar turned and trotted away. "You're a bad person!"

It wasn't until the shadow entered the hotel lobby that Sun Yi hummed a little song and returned happily.

"I like you, those eyes are moving, those lovely faces, may I be able to caress you......" I have to say that God is fair to everyone. This famous love song of the band BEYOND was performed by this basketball genius like a ghost crying wolf......

Because Duke University won the NCAA championship trophy again after seven years. Every player on the Blue Devils team has become the object of Duke students' pursuit. In particular, Chinese player Sun Yi has washed away the aura of a tragic hero and has become an inspirational figure who has tried his courage.

"Sun, it's really hard for you to get in here." Sorrentino pointed to the Blue Devils fans singing and dancing outside the house, because they were so enthusiastic, Sun Yi would cause a sensation every time he went out in broad daylight. There was no way, Tony, who had something to talk about, had to climb in through the window of Thomas's room.

"Actually, they're the loveliest people. Oh, by the way, what are you looking for me? Looking at the agent in a straight suit, Sun Yi said to the fans outside the window.

"About the first sponsorship of your life, haha! It's crazy! Sorrentino spread his hands and said with an incredulous expression. Nike and its Jordan brand, Adidas and Reebok, Converse, as well as Li-Ning and Peak in your country have all expressed strong intentions to sign with me. Among them, Nike and Adidas are the most sincere, and they have made endorsement offers of $35 million for 5 years and $50 million for 7 years, respectively. "You know, in 03, Yao Ming and Reebok's endorsement contract was only 7 years and 50 million US dollars.

Sun Yi looked at Sorrentino, the agent who was rubbing his index and middle fingers with his thumb and making a greedy look. "What about the other offers? Li-Ning and Peak? ”

Tony, who shook his index finger, said with his philistine appearance: "Their offer is obviously not competitive, only two or three million per year. And, I would suggest that you are better off choosing Nike. After all, this is his turf. Sorrentino pointed to the ground under his feet and said meaningfully.

In fact, Sun Yi, whose family financial situation has always been good, does not have a very clear concept of money. In addition, I have been focusing on basketball and basically have no time and energy to feel the power of money. If there is a Chinese brand that can meet or approach the offers of Nike and Adi, he will definitely choose the former.

Suddenly, Sorrentino's cell phone rang. "Hello, I'm Tony. Sorrentino. ”

“……”

"What? Sneaker endorsement? Which company are you? ”

“……”

"Tamron Shoes? How come I've never heard of it? ”

“……”

"I'm sorry, my employer has enough international brands to cooperate with now, and your brand is not in our consideration."

After saying this, Sorrentino hung up his phone in style. It was completely unrecognizable that this Mediterranean man had been living without food a few months ago.

Bell bell bell ......! Tony, who was just about to analyze these cooperation intentions for Sun Yi, suddenly found that the other party's mobile phone rang, so he had to give up.

"Hey! Prince Wang, what's the matter? ”

“……”

"Now?" Sun Yi got up and looked at the infatuated Blue Devils fans outside the window, and said with some embarrassment: "Is it okay later?" It's a little inconvenient to go out now. ”

“……”

"Well, in that case, I have to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman." It seems that the friend does have something very urgent and important.

“……”

"What? Also bring a broker? ”

“……”

"yes, got it."

……

Sun Yi, who was sweating profusely, finally came to his friend who had been waiting for a long time after meeting the request of most of the fans to sign and take photos.

Downtown Durham, in the box of an upscale café. A middle-aged man with a calm face sat behind a round table. Judging from the other party's dusty clothes, he should have just arrived in this beautiful town.

"Dude, this is my father Wang Weimin." Wang Bin introduced Sun Yi and his agent, Mr. Sorrentino.

"Hello, I am Wang Weimin, the legal representative of Tenglong Shoes. I really couldn't help it, so I asked Xiaobin to call you. Wang Bin's father first briefly explained to Sun Yi in Mandarin, and then introduced his identity to Sorrentino in fluent American English.

When everyone understood what was going on, they sat down at the round table as if they were doing business.

Wang Weimin pushed the contract text handed by the assistant to Sun Yi, and after getting the other party's permission, Tony picked up the contract and carefully browsed it.

And Wang Bin, who completed the task, had no choice but to leave quietly under the signal of his Lao Tzu's eyes.

After reading the entire contract, Sorrentino whispered a few words in Sun Yi's ear, "Mr. Wang, from this contract, you can see the sincerity of your company." Tony pointed to the contract on the table and said with a serious face. Big brands like Nike and Adi have many terms and conditions in the contract, such as the minimum number of minutes played per game, the minimum number of games played each season, etc., and only when these conditions are met can the final endorsement fee be obtained. Tenglong Company provides this 1+1 endorsement contract, with no strings attached, and a one-time payment of $5 million a year for endorsement fees. In addition, Sun Yi can decide whether to execute the endorsement contract for the second year according to his own wishes, without being liable for breach of contract.

"Mr. Wang, in this matter, sincerity alone is not enough. We don't yet know if your company has the strength to carve out a niche in today's competitive industry. ”

"This is our company's information, which has just been produced, and the content is relatively new." Wang Weimin, who had been prepared for a long time, handed the information of Tenglong Shoes to the agent who questioned it.

"Although, our company is a start-up that was just established last year. However, whether it is equipment, production capacity, management and sales, it is implemented in accordance with the requirements of international first-line brand companies. You can see all of this on the profile. ”

"In addition, the sincerity of our company is not just the contract just now. ……”

After listening to the other party's cooperation plan, the well-informed Sorrentino couldn't help but gasp. This guy's plan is too bold. It's crazy.

Tenglong Company plans to build a personal brand specifically for Sun Yi. Both parties hold 50% of the shares, and 70% of the profits of this brand are owned by Sun Yi. Of course, as a party to the cooperation, Sun Yi can monitor the financial status of this brand at any time.

Tony. Sorrentino's gaze at Wang Weimin obviously increased a little admiration. This oriental man has to be said to be a very bold guy.

"This is the first generation of combat boots specially created by our company for Sun Yi, named 'Sun Generation'." Wang Weimin lost no time in dropping a bombshell again.

Sun Yi, who has been doing nothing, immediately came to his senses after seeing the pair of exquisitely made basketball shoes. The main color of the yellow face and red bottom makes this shoe look particularly conspicuous. The striking markings under the uppers on both sides are also clearly well designed. With the red sun as the background, a giant Chinese dragon soaring into the sky is showing its strength with its teeth and claws.

"Can I try it?" Sun Yi, who couldn't put it down and held the sneakers, asked a little embarrassed.

"Of course, it's for you."

Well! Nice, nice foot feel and very comfortable. The Chinese guy who walked back and forth in the private room wearing sneakers was very satisfied with the design and workmanship of the shoes.

When Wang Weimin saw the joyful expression on the other party's face, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After more than a year of hard work, it was finally not in vain, and this thing was done.

"Oh, yes. What is your nationality? Sun Yi knew that Wang Bin was ABC, so his father had to ask clearly. If it's a Chinese-American, he'll have to think again.

"This is the second generation of my ID card that I just did." Wang Weimin has long since given up his U.S. green card and regained his Chinese citizenship.

In the end, the two sides reached a preliminary cooperation intention. After Sorrentino's personal visit to the Tamron company in Phuoc Hai province, the official contract will be signed. The moment Sun Yi is drafted by any NBA team, the contract officially takes effect. (To be continued.) )
