Chapter 160: How Much Money Do You Give Me
Early the next morning, news came from Xia Jiuli.
Last night, he contacted the two companies and invited their representatives to come to Qinglian City for an interview.
The other party readily agreed, and Xia Jiuli set one time for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Yi Dun must be extremely satisfied with Xia Jiuli's arrangement, although Xia Jiuli is not very old, but he is very old-fashioned, and he is much more thoughtful than Yi Dun thought.
……
Xia Jiuli first made an appointment with Nike, after all, he had dealt with them many times.
In fact, this interview is not a signing negotiation, and may only be regarded as a first trial for both parties.
In a five-star hotel suite in Qinglian City, Eden met with a representative of Nike.
One is a middle-aged white foreigner, and the other is two Chinese, a man and a woman.
"Hello, Mr. Eden." When the man and the woman saw Yi Dun, they stepped forward and shook hands with a smile.
"Let me introduce you to Mr. Richard, our representative for this meeting."
Yi Dun looked at the white foreigner, who smiled and came up to Yi Dun and gave Yi Dun a hug.
After Yi Dun and Xia Jiuli sat down, this meeting could be regarded as the official beginning.
The Chinese man may be the foreigner's assistant, and the woman may be the translator.
The foreigner chattered a lot, and the female translator began to translate.
It is nothing more than a compliment to Yiden's talent in track and field, Nike has been paying attention to Yiden's movements, hoping that after this meeting, the two sides can reach a cooperation, and so on.
This foreigner actually didn't talk nonsense, Nike has indeed been paying attention to Yiden.
It's just that this attention belongs to their work process, as long as it is a slightly brighter young athlete, they are all concerned, not that Yi Dun has received any special attention.
And after yesterday's decathlon competition, Yi Dun directly received special attention, and after watching the game, Nike immediately contacted Xia Jiuli, which led to the current meeting.
Listening to the other party say a lot of nonsense, Yi Dun's face became impatient.
I don't have that much effort to listen to nonsense, so it's better to get straight to the point.
"How much do you give me?" Yi Dun looked at the female translator and asked slowly.
Xia Jiuli on the side almost vomited blood......
Today is not a negotiation, just a meeting, Yi Dun asked so directly, is it not right?
The female translator was also stunned, but she didn't expect Yi Dun to ask such a question suddenly.
She translated Yi Dun's words to Richard, who was calm, probably not uncommon with such things.
Richard pointed at the female translator with five fingers, and then only heard the female translator speak.
"Mr. Eden, we are willing to provide you with an annual signing fee of 500,000 yuan, and according to your performance on the field, we will also formulate some relevant incentives, such as if you win a gold medal in the Olympic Games, we will give additional rewards, or if you break a world record, there will also be additional rewards."
"We can further explore the specific reward rules." The female translator said quite politely.
Yi Dun's brows were furrowed, and he was already starting to be a little annoyed in his heart.
Half a million? Messing around, or this kind of price to pass the meal, Yi Dun felt insulted.
Standing up directly, Yi Dun was ready to leave with Xia Jiuli.
Since there is no sincerity, then what is there to talk about.
"Don't compare me with Liu Xiang in '03, Liu Xiang in '03 just broke the Asian record, and you picked up the leak at that time."
"How embarrassed are you to say these 500,000 yuan?" Yi Dun said rather unhappily.
An athlete can only sign one sports brand, and the endorsement contract of this sports brand is the majority of the athlete's income, Yi Dun will definitely not agree to this endorsement fee of 500,000 yuan, unless his brain is in water.
Seeing that Yi Dun was angry and wanted to leave, the female translator immediately became anxious, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yi Dun, I didn't make it clear, I said 500,000 US dollars." ”
Yi Dun frowned, "500,000 US dollars? ”
"500,000 US dollars is not enough, less than 4 million yuan!"
"As for the incentives you are talking about, there is not even a specific plan now, and I don't think your rewards will be sincere."
Yi Dun said to the female translator mercilessly.
Xia Jiuli on the side was stunned, he never expected Yi Dun to be so domineering.
Originally, he thought that he was older than Yi Dun, and this meeting was led by himself, negotiating with the other party.
I didn't expect that I wouldn't need to open my mouth at all, and Yi Dun did it directly.
……
"Mr. Yi Dun, Mr. Richard said that the endorsement fee can be negotiated, and there is a saying in China that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, so we can sit down and discuss it slowly."
"The main purpose of our meeting this time is not to negotiate, but to meet with Mr. Yi Dun and promote the relationship." After chatting with Richard, the female translator said to Yi Dun with a smile.
This is even more easy to say.
What is called speed, who has the kung fu to sit down and talk to you slowly.
With only 500,000 US dollars, it is no exaggeration to say that there are a large number of domestic manufacturers who are willing to pay a higher price than this.
"Then we don't have much to say." Yi Dun got up and left his seat directly and left with Xia Jiuli.
"What the hell is this Nike? Isn't it said that they are the number one sports brand in the world? Why is it so searching? After Yi Dun went out, he asked Xia Jiuli speechlessly.
"Hey, Nike's main business is not track and field, their most lucrative industry now is actually basketball-related industries."
"Those top basketball players, Nike can make tens of millions of dollars a year!"
"And there are more than one or two big contracts like Nike." Xia Jiuli said in a low voice.
"This grandmother has a leg, Lao Tzu is still a top track and field athlete, why should he give Lao Tzu 500,000 US dollars." Yi Dun was very dissatisfied.
"What about Adidas? Wouldn't they also be in the basketball industry? Yi Dun asked with a frown.
Xia Jiuli waved his hand, "Adi also thinks about it, after all, basketball can really make a lot of money, much more money than track and field." ”
"But now that Adi can't beat Nike in basketball, they're probably moving their energy to other things now, and I think they're definitely going to offer a much more lucrative contract than Nike." Xia Jiuli explained.
Yi Dun nodded, if Adi also searched like this, Yi Dun simply didn't sign it, and found a domestic manufacturer to endorse it.
At ten o'clock the next morning, Yi Dun had another meeting with Adi.
Not to mention anything else, the number of people present at Adi Company alone seems to be much more sincere than Nike.
Nike only came with three people, but Adi came with eight people, all dressed in formal clothes and looking quite professional.
