Chapter 17: Platinum Star
After thinking about it, in the end, Joe decided that it would be more appropriate to talk about the contract at home. So I took the agent home.
Joe's agent, Kyrie Owens, also came to Joe's rented small house for the first time. Seeing this house of only 60 square meters, I couldn't help but complain: "JOJO, I said, you are also a popular player now, why do you live in this kind of place?" ”
Joe shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's just a temporary shelter, it doesn't have to be too nice." ”
Kyrie Owens certainly knew what Joe meant, and he agreed with Joe when he signed that ultra-low contract. After all, Joe has a wider stage, and he knows that. "Okay, let's cut to the chase, my new billionaire."
Hearing Kyrie Owens' words, Joe's eyes lit up, and the sneaker contract must be very large.
"Why, the contract is that big?"
"Of course!! JOJO, you're a first-line player now, do you need to talk about your recent appearance? But ......"
"But what?"
"Although both Nike and Adidas have proposed large contracts, there are differences. Nike's is 60 million in 5 years, while Adidas's is 120 million in 6 years. ”
"What!!" Hearing these two numbers, Joe couldn't help but be a little surprised, it was simply astronomical for Joe, who was just an ordinary person in his previous life. Especially Adidas's 120 million, how many people in the world can have 120 million of 6 billion people. Adidas' sincerity Joe was felt. It's just that he's curious why the contract given by Nike is so different from Adidas.
"Carey, why is there so much difference between the contracts between Nike and Adidas?"
"There are too many big-name stars signed by Nike, like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. And you're just a rookie, they can't think of you as the number one card right now. But Adidas is very discerning, they said, I hope you can be Adidas's Jordan. ”
Adidas' biggest failure in basketball is that it didn't sign Jordan in the first place, otherwise it wouldn't have allowed Nike to dominate like it is now.
Although Adidas also signed Maddie, Garnett, Warcraft Dwight Howard. But it's a little worse than Kobe and James.
Adidas signed Maddie in the first place to train Maddie to be like Nike's Jordan. It's a pity that Maddie can't replicate the myth of Jordan, and now her state is getting worse and worse, if she hadn't joined the Rockets and relied on Yao Ming's name to mix up some of the popularity of the Celestial Empire, otherwise Maddie's sneakers would be really difficult to sell in Mei China. On the contrary, Kobe Bryant, who they didn't fancy at the beginning, has now become the first person in the league.
This time Adidas was betting again, and they were betting on Joe.
Since Adidas is so sincere, Joe is not pretentious, and directly chose Adidas......
That afternoon, Adidas came to sign with Joe. Adidas really valued Joe, and even their president, Herbert Heiner, came personally.
When Joe signed the contract, Joe shook hands with Herbert Heiner.
"JOJO, welcome to Adidas. Hope we have a happy cooperation. ”
I saw Joe confidently say, "Mr. Heiner, you have made the right decision. But I'm not going to be the Jordan of Adidas, I'm going to be the John Joe of Adidas. ”
I don't know why it didn't happen, but Herbert Heiner already felt that this choice would give Adidas a qualitative leap. "I BELIEVE YOU JOJO."
After the signing, Herbert Heiner left, and the professionals came to discuss the new sneakers with Joe.
“JOJO!! I'm a fan of yours!! I'm so happy to be able to design sneakers for you!! ”
Joe didn't think that the designer was his fan, but that's fine, after all, wearing shoes designed by his own fans is cool.
The designer asked, "JOJO, what are your sneakers going to be called?" ”
Joe thought for a moment and said, "It's called the Platinum Star." ”
"Platinum Star?"
"Yes, it's the Platinum Star." At this time, Joe remembered his favorite 3rd generation Jotaro Kujo in the Japanese anime "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure", his stand-in Platinum Star. And in this life, he is also called JOJO, and his sneakers are better called "Platinum Star". And the name has two meanings.
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh. All 3 of them belong to the 03 session and are known as the platinum generation. And they will also form the Big 3 of the Heat in the 10~11 season. Joe knows the Heat will be his biggest opponent in the future.
And the first implication of "Platinum Star" is that he, John Joe, wants to become the nemesis of the Big 3 of the Platinum Generation. And the other is because of LeBron James, the strongest player of the platinum generation, Joe is going to trample him under his feet and then dominate the league like Jordan.
For the new sneakers, Joe just provided the name, as for the design of the sneakers, leave it to the professionals......
"Hee-hee-hee, hee-hee." Zheng Xiujing suddenly smirked again.
Cui Xueli next to her looked at her little friend who had committed the second offense and couldn't bear to pat her, "Crystal, what's wrong with you?" Did you eat something delicious again? ”
Cui Xueli naively thought that Zheng Xiujing had encountered something delicious again, otherwise how could she make such a mistake.
"Crystal! It's delicious, and you can't forget me. ”
If Zheng Xiujing had changed to the previous one, she would definitely complain about Cui Xueli, but this time Zheng Xiujing's next words made Cui Xueli almost hit the street. Zheng Xiujing actually said very sweetly, "Xueqiu, what kind of girls do you say boys like?" ”
Cui Xueli's eyes widened instantly, "Crystal!" You're in love!! ”
Now, as long as the words about the love between men and women are mentioned, Zheng Xiujing's face will involuntarily turn red. "Why, don't talk nonsense. I...... I...... I'm asking for others, yes, I'm helping others. ”
Cui Xueli was even more puzzled: "Help others ask, then why are you blushing?" Help Suyan Oni? ”
"Mmmm, don't tell anyone." Zheng Xiujing was afraid of being laughed at by Cui Xueli, so she ruthlessly threw the burden to her sister.
Cui Xueli thought that what Zheng Xiujing said was true, so she said nervously, "The company doesn't stipulate that debuting artists can't fall in love, Xiuyan Oni is going to commit a crime against the wind!" ”
"Shhh
"Uh-huh. I will. ”
Hearing Cui Xueli's sworn answer, Zheng Xiujing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that she had been fooled, and sure enough, Xueqiu was the best to deceive. Then she said, "By the way, Snowball, you haven't answered me yet." ”
"Huh? What answer? ”
"It's just what kind of boy the boy likes."
"Oh, that's a problem!!" Cui Shirley pondered for a while, and then said seriously, "I don't know." ”
Zheng Xiujing almost didn't vomit blood, "Xiba!! After thinking about it for so long, I said such useless words!! ”
Cui Xueli said innocently: "I haven't been in love again, how do I know." Besides, it's not that you're in love, why are you so nervous. ”
Zheng Xiujing was speechless for a moment when asked, and then replied a little stammering, "Isn't this helping my sister." ”
Zheng Xiujing thought about it, relying on Cui Xueli, this little white is really useless, she forgot that she is also a little white.
Zheng Xiujing thought about it and finally thought that there was someone who could help her.
