"The Houston Rockets naturally know that their recent wins are temporarily at the top of the NBA, but I don't know what Mr. Zhao Chen's plans are?"

The two looked at each other again, and Bill Balman, who was more familiar with the area, finally answered.

"What do you guys think of Drexler, Jordan, Olajuwon, Barkley and Stockton?"

Zhao Chen can be said to be a good guide, expanding the desires of the two step by step. As for Moses Malone, who is currently the most famous in the Rockets, Zhao Chen did not say it, because the current Moses Malone has already signed with Nike.

"Well, these guys do have great potential, but it will take time! But we're also in contact with Drexler, Jordan and Olajuwon! ”

Bill Balman didn't hide it, because he knew that this was also an important opportunity for Nike's development, since David Stern got the NBA broadcast with the influence of Zhao Chen this year, the NBA's influence began to expand rapidly, and they also paid more and more attention to the NBA, thinking that with the current trend, the influence of the NBA will catch up with several major professional leagues in the United States! It is precisely for this reason that they will set their sights on NBA stars, but with Nike's current popularity, it is already a high incense to be able to sign a Moses Malone, which is still a huge price!

With more and more attention, the two also began to pay more and more attention to the Houston Rockets, because the current Rockets are obviously in a metamorphosis, the individual strength of each player in the starting position of the team is strong enough, and the bench is even more gorgeous, and even Sampson, the current top center of the NVA, will be the substitute sixth man this season, plus a few bench bandits, it can be said that the lineup is quite extravagant! It's impossible for them not to pay attention to it.

In the eyes of the two, even if the current lineup of the Houston Rockets does not win this year's championship, it can at least be comparable to the Celtics and the Lakers in the next few years, or even stronger!

But for now. Nike is not the kind of Big Mac in the top 500 in later generations, but because the two executives are more sensible, they will only contact Drexler, Jordan and Olajuwon, in their opinion, with the talent of the three of them at present, they will definitely be able to shine in the future NBA!

As for Barkley, it is due to his short height on the inside, although he is reported to be more than two meters tall. But the fact is that this thing is shorter than Jordan when he stands with Jordan who is 198 cm, and it can be said that he is currently the shortest in the NBA. As for Stockton, his current passing ability has not reached its peak, and it is because of his ordinary body, so he will be ignored by the two of them, who will average double-doubles in assists per game for N consecutive seasons in the future.

"If the two of you can give up more shares, I think they will accept Nike's sponsorship! In addition, I am currently planning to go to Europe to buy a football team in the top five major leagues, and both the team and the players can accept Nike's sponsorship! ”

Zhao Chen knew that if he wanted Jordan and the three to agree to accept Nike's sponsorship, he was afraid that he would have to increase their salaries a little more. Otherwise, I am afraid of causing dissatisfaction among the three of them, after all, these three people will belong to the top five roles in their respective positions in the future, and Jordan is a veritable first scoring guard! If the Rocket Dynasty wants to survive stillbirth, it must rely on their individual abilities.

"Acquire the football teams of Europe's top five major leagues!" Phil Knight and Bill Balman had shock in their eyes, and they knew that this was also an opportunity, after all, Nike is not gaining a foothold in Europe, and if they can sponsor a team in the top five leagues, this goal can be said to be much easier. At least to be able to establish a foothold in the country where this team is based. Not to mention the Rockets and three basketball players who are likely to become superstars, which is undoubtedly a great temptation for the current Nike.

The excitement on Philnet's face was hard to hide. Taking a deep breath and holding back the excitement in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said: "If this is really the case, we are willing to increase the stake to 25%, which is the largest stake we sell, and there can be no more!" ”

As Phil Knight said. Although the two hold most of Nike's shares, once they sell more than 25% of the shares, the combined shares of the two will be less than 51%, and the voice of Nike will undoubtedly be dispersed, and it will also cost the two more energy to gain the right to speak. This is very dangerous for a public company!

For 25% of Nike's shares, Zhao Chen is also quite excited, if you add the bulk shares acquired in the past few days, his Nike shares will directly reach one-third, and he may become the largest shareholder of Nike.

The current market value of Nike is hundreds of millions of dollars, which cannot be compared with tens of billions of dollars in one or two decades, and the profits in it can be said to be incalculable, enough to support Zhao Chen's money-making plan!

Zhao Chen finally agreed, and the two sides reached an agreement, and after signing the share transfer contract, they began to discuss the future development direction of Nike and some projects.

Although Zhao Chen is not an expert in this area, his memories from later generations naturally have a large number of classic sneaker styles, especially he is also a cartoonist with strong drawing ability, so it was not long before several sneaker styles that are bound to become classics in the future appeared on the manuscript paper.

Looking at the sneakers with beautiful lines on the manuscript paper, Philnet and Bill Balman were overjoyed, they didn't expect Zhao Chen, a layman, to design sneakers, especially the almost impeccable appearance of these sneakers.

"Mr. Zhao Chen, I have never admired a person, but today I am afraid that you are a genius!"

Americans are more direct, Philnet looked at Zhao Chen's gaze was obviously more respectful than before, and finally gave a thumbs up, because in Nike, he designed sneaker styles, and naturally saw that the sneakers designed by Zhao Chen would shine!

"Where, it's all as it should be! However, if you develop these styles, remember to give more dividends when the time comes! ”

Zhao Chen doesn't care about this, there is no way to just design the style of a few sneakers, which may be able to bring Nike some profits, but it can't be a bargaining chip for taking shares at all, because the replacement of sneakers is too fast, and there are enough styles, even if it is a classic style, it won't sell for long.

"It must be, Mr. Zhao Chen, we will be partners in the future, I hope you can mention more things in the future!"

After Zhao Chen won the shares, the relationship between the three can be said to heat up instantly, after all, as long as they are smart people, no one will fall out with their partners, not to mention that the other party still holds a lot of shares.

After taking Nike's shares, Zhao Chen returned to the Houston Rockets and turned to the current Rockets manager to 'remind' the current Rockets manager, for the simple reason that he was trying to make Nike a sponsor of the Jordan trio, along with the rest of the Rockets who could play in the future. The main reason is that Zhao Chen has a large number of Nike shares in his hands, and naturally hopes that Nike can develop faster, which is really in his interests.

As for what methods the Rockets managers will use to achieve their goals at that time, if they refuse, there is only one way - a raise!

Although the current NBA has entered a period of rapid development due to Stern's relationship, Stern's tenure as NBA president has only been more than half a year, and how far can the NBA develop, especially the player's salary has not increased much compared to before.

Whether it's Drexler, who played in the NBA for a year, or this year's rookies Jordan and Olajuwon, even if they will be future superstars, they are currently on a rookie contract of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year at best.

This kind of rookie contract is still the top among many rookies due to the relationship between the top picks, but at best, it can improve the living standards of the family.

It's a pity that Zhao Chenyan overestimated the three Jordans, and the three future superstars now have almost no sponsorship except for their salaries, even if they don't like the amount of the contract, as long as the contract is not too bad, after all, this is the relationship between the team manager and the agent, how can he not give him this face.

However, despite this, in the end, the salaries of the three of them were at least increased a little, so as not to dislike them and have negative thoughts about leaving the Rockets.

After dealing with this matter, Zhao Chen returned to the island country, and as for the acquisition of the football team that he said during the negotiations, he put it aside, because "Magical Girl Sakura" has come to an end! (To be continued......)
