Chapter 179: Signing with Nike

Looking at Wang Zhengyang's slightly distracted gaze, Ai Qi confidently picked up the coffee in front of him and took a small sip.

Of course, he wouldn't think that the other party was fascinated by his sweet and delicious secretary, and there was only one reason why Wang Zhengyang could lose his mind at this time.

"No one in this country can refuse Nike's solicitation!"

Nike, based in Portland, has strong roots in Japan.

The founder, Phil Knight, started by selling a Japanese brand of running shoes!

This brand is called Onitsuka Tiger, and later the company was reintegrated to form a new sports brand, ASICS, and the sneakers on the feet of Mitsui Shou in the slam dunk are from ASICS!

Today's Nike is back in Japan with a sense of home, and the best way for a foreign company to open up the local market is to find a spokesperson in its own country!

As the most important industrial chain of Nike - basketball, it is even more difficult to find a qualified spokesperson in Japan than to climb to the sky!

However, relying on the superstars of American professional basketball, Nike can still easily open the market, but finding local players is still the top priority!

And today's appearance of Wang Zhengyang has made Aiqi see a glimmer of light!

Especially the other party's wonderful performance in the fight with Peyton made Aitch feel that Wang Zhengyang has infinite potential!

Japan is the No. 1 market in Asia, and Nike will never give up!

And the red giant on the opposite side that is gradually waking up is also eye-catching!

And Wang Zhengyang has the blood of two countries, so he is undoubtedly a good candidate.

Of course, the premise is that he can really become a charismatic star!

However, after reading his information, Edge's heart suddenly burst into an impulse, that is, this yellow-skinned kid will eventually work miracles like Jordan!

How important Jordan is to Nike doesn't need to be said too much. So when this thought came to his mind, Edge's first reaction was to be taken aback!

Really shocked, he didn't know why he had this intuition!

However, he still decided to implement the plan in his heart - to sign Wang Zhengyang!

At the huge Nike company, signing a player who is underage is nothing new.

Nike can even sign all potential rookies ahead of schedule as long as the law allows.

Unfortunately, the laws of the United States do not allow it, and neither can it in Japan!

Although the law does not recognize the validity of such contracts, Nike can change the contract, which is the so-called sponsorship contract!

"That's it, Wang Zhengyang, Nike will provide you with basketball equipment until you graduate!" Aiqi patiently explained the meaning of the contract to Wang Zhengyang.

Wang Zhengyang frowned and thought for a while, frankly speaking, this so-called sponsorship contract has no legal effect, it is more like a gentleman's agreement!

However, Aitch also said that if Wang Zhengyang needs it, Nike can provide him with no more than 500,000 days of cash per year, in the form of a scholarship!

But Wang Zhengyang refused without hesitation, once it comes to money, it will become very troublesome!

The most important thing is that Wang Zhengyang is not short of the 500,000 yen at all, there is no need to play this kind of legal sideline, which will lay hidden dangers for the future!

If you just look at the ideas provided by Nike, Wang Zhengyang is still very excited, although it is not a formal contract, but it can be regarded as a name here at Nike!

And look at the meaning of Edge, there will be operations in the future!

What Wang Zhengyang lacks now is exposure, as an Asian, exposure and strength are as important!

"I basically agree with this, but I have an idea, since it's sponsorship, then can we use our school basketball team as a whole!" Wang Zhengyang agreed to the matter, but he still put forward his own opinion.

With the Lingnan basketball team as Nike's sponsorship, then the operability of this matter is even greater!

Because, it is not legal to sponsor an individual, but it is legal to sponsor a school basketball team!

"Huh? So we need to have a meeting to discuss, I wonder if Wang Zhengyang can stay in Tokyo for a few more days? For Wang Zhengyang's thoughts, Aiqi was a little surprised.

After all, in his opinion, Wang Zhengyang would be a little overwhelmed even if he was not carried away by the contract, but such a calm suggestion was still beyond Aiqi's judgment.

This cautious look doesn't look like a high school student at all!

Although he is the highest governor of the region, Aitch still has to pretend to ask his subordinates for their opinions, after all, this is the so-called democracy.

If there is really something wrong, it is also convenient to shake the pot!

"OK, no problem, I can wait for Nike's reply!" Wang Zhengyang also heard a little about the corporate culture of these foreign companies, and he naturally would not object.

Then, that night, Wang Zhengyang received a reply from Nike, as well as a surprise and surprise inquiry call from Shigeichi Taoka.

He could never have imagined that Wang Zhengyang went to Tokyo and brought back a big benefactor to the school!

As for rejecting Nike, unless the upper echelons of the Lingnan school have a problem with their brains!

In addition, what was even more surprising was Wang Zhengyang's father, Wang Dafu, who hurried from Kanagawa to Tokyo.

Although the sponsorship contract did not need to be signed by Wang Zhengyang, Nike gave him another choice.

Shoot commercials, which requires a contract! As a minor, it is naturally signed by the guardian Wang Dafu.

Sponsorship contracts are not legal, but being an advertising model is legal!

I have to say that it is too easy for large companies to find loopholes in the law.

"So, that's it!" After listening to Wang Zhengyang's explanation, Wang Dafu fell silent for a while.

Although this son has been very mature since he was a child, after all, few people dare to slaughter chickens with knives at the age of five!

"Well done!" patted Wang Zhengyang's shoulder heavily, and Wang Dafu showed a pleased smile.

For a while, the idea of "I'm old" filled Lao Wang's heart.

Although he has never been a father, Wang Zhengyang still experienced Wang Dafu's mood in an instant.

An emotion that he couldn't explain and couldn't explain lingered in his mind.

Taking over the banner of his father, Wang Zhengyang officially hit the road!

After signing the contract, Wang Zhengyang naturally needed to stay in Tokyo and prepare to shoot an advertisement, and Nike's publicity and distribution department also began to prepare to promote the signing.

The remaining three members of Momotaro's team, the mustachioed store manager, have returned to Kanagawa ahead of schedule, after all, they are adults with their own careers and can't leave for too long.

Fukuda and Hikochi Aida stayed in Tokyo and waited for the shooting of the advertisement with Wang Zhengyang.

Although Nike decided to sign a contract with Lingnan, Lingnan's players were not needed to shoot advertisements, and Futian and the two got the opportunity as friends of Wang Zhengyang!

The role will not be too heavy, commonly known as a dragon set actor. However, even so, the two were very satisfied.

The script of the advertisement is still being prepared, and the actors are tentatively named Wang Zhengyang and Peyton!

That's right, Peyton came to Japan to promote, and he had already planned to appear in a Japanese-limited edition commercial!

But this time, he is no longer the absolute protagonist, and he is even likely to play a supporting role for Wang Zhengyang.

No way, Peyton's lineup at this time is not enough, and one reason why Nike chose him to come to Japan is because he is a potential star that the company is optimistic about.

Another reason is that last year's NBA offseason coincided with the Olympics, and the formation of Mengyi included all the big-name players.

And this season, there are not many people who are willing to travel to Japan to do publicity!

In this era, basketball players are not as thoroughly commercialized as later generations.

In the final analysis, the reason is that the money is not enough!
