Chapter 216: Adi's Early Renewal Request (Heavenly Dragon Alliance Plus 3)
After the celebration banquet and commendation conference, Adi invited Yi Dun to open a new product launch conference.
The new products released this time have become secondary, and Yidun has become the protagonist of this press conference.
Countless reporters flocked to the city just to get the opportunity to interview Eden.
Who is the hottest athlete in China right now? That must be Eden.
The entire conference was originally reserved for 200 seats, but nearly 1,000 people came, and the small venue was crowded with no place to stand.
In the face of questions from reporters from all walks of life, Yi Dun basically answers all questions.
"Yi Dun, after the decathlon event before, do you really have full confidence that you can win the gold in the javelin?" A reporter was given the opportunity to ask a question, asking the question that everyone had been wondering about.
Yi Dun nodded confidently, "That's right, I did have full confidence at that time, but if you want to ask who gave me this confidence and courage, then I can only tell you that it is Liang Jingru." ”
Yi Dun made the most fashionable joke at the moment, which caused many reporters at the scene to laugh.
"Eden, can you tell us about your next plans?" Another reporter asked.
"I don't have any plans for the time being, let's rest for half a month to a month, and then think about the next plan after my twentieth birthday."
"But what an athlete can actually plan is nothing more than training and competition, so if you really want to know my plan, just check the schedule of the competition."
Many reporters laughed again, but they had been ignoring that Eden was just a child under the age of twenty.
Who would have thought that such a child would be able to achieve great achievements in the Beijing Olympics and win five medals!
Now that the Beijing Olympics are over, the most gold medalists are American swimmer Phelps, who has won a staggering eight gold medals, breaking the record for the most individual gold medals won at a single Olympic Games.
In track and field, Eden is not the player with the most gold medals, Jamaican sprint king Usain Bolt won three gold medals in the 100m, 200m and 4*100 relay events, one more than Edomin.
It's just that Eden has more medals than Usain Bolt.
If you want to talk about international influence, even Yi Dun has to admit that Bolt's three gold medals are more influential than his five medals.
But Yi Dunsheng is young, and there are endless possibilities.
Four years later, Yi Dun is only 23 years old, who dares to say that Yi Dun did not win gold medals in the three events in the Beijing Olympics, and will definitely not win gold medals in the London Olympics?
A reporter may have attended the celebration banquet at the track and field center before, and after getting the opportunity to ask questions, he asked Yi Dun directly.
"Yi Dun, I heard that you joked at the celebration banquet that you were going to win eight gold medals at the London Olympics, I wonder if you want to catch up with Phelps?"
Yi Dun shook his head directly, "At that time, my words could only be regarded as a joke, and my target was not Phelps. ”
There is still a word in his heart that Phelps is not his goal, his goal is something that all athletes in the world dare not think of.
After some questions about the arena were asked, many reporters, who may have been from lace newspapers, began to ask some more private questions.
For example, ask Yi Dun if he has a girlfriend, such as the criteria for choosing a mate, such as marriage plans, etc.
This kind of embarrassing problem has been encountered by the vast majority of top athletes.
Eden also couldn't watch interviews with many top athletes, and learned a lot of interview skills.
After being asked about this kind of privacy question, they uniformly gave a negative trifecta of no, did not think, and did not know.
After the press conference, Adi specially connected with Lao Qi, the person in charge of Yi Dun, and specially invited Yi Dun to have a meal.
"Yi Dun, we had a small internal meeting two days ago, that is, the day Xia Jiuli called us." Lao Qi said after taking a sip of red wine.
Yi Dun nodded, "You know, what important things were mentioned in the meeting?" ”
"The most important thing is, of course, your bonus, but in addition to that, we also discussed whether to renew your contract early, and what kind of contract should be renewed with you." Lao Qi is like a thief, looking left and right, for fear that others will hear his words.
Yi Dun smiled lightly, how did he feel that the meal that Lao Qi invited himself to eat today was prepared, and he wanted to say something from his mouth?
"What did you say? My contract has only been executed for the second year, and there is still more than a year to go, and half of the contract period has not expired, so you are not in such a hurry to ask me to renew the contract, right? Yi Dun took a sip of boiled water and said slowly.
"This high-end restaurant is different, and I feel that the boiled water is exceptionally delicious." Yi Dun laughed.
"Most of the people attending the meeting supported renewing your contract in advance, after all, you must know your current business value."
"The only thing is that this early renewal gives you a contract, and this difference is relatively big."
"Yi Dun, can you tell my brother what is the approximate renewal contract you expect in your heart?"
Yi Dun was happy, Lao Qi finally couldn't hold it back, and asked the purpose of inviting himself to dinner this time.
Yi Dun really didn't think much about renewing his contract early, but he also knew the reason why Adi's side wanted to renew his contract early.
The term of Yi Dun's previous contract was too short, and now Adi regrets it.
Seeing that the contract is about to expire in more than a year, and the commercial value of Yidun is now extremely amazing, they must be in a hurry to renew it in advance, for fear that Yidun will be poached by others.
It's not uncommon for the spokesperson of a sports brand to poach people.
If it is said that the brand abandons those outdated stars, it will not have any impact.
And a super sports star like Eden who is in the ascendancy, once he leaves Adidas and switches to other brands, it will cause great damage to Adidas' brand image.
Because the first thing fans will think about is, why did this good guy part ways, did you Adi treat Yi Dun badly?
We bought your things in the face of Eden, and as a result, you treated Eden badly? I'll buy you a hairy thing in the future.
Sometimes fans are more extreme, and they don't want to dig into what exactly is the reason for parting ways......
Adidas has a lot of competitors in the market, Nike is undoubtedly its biggest competitor, in addition to Nike, such as Reebok, Puma and many Chinese domestic brands are competitors.
Puma, in particular, is a company that has a deep connection with Adidas.
Adidas itself was a company owned by the Adolfo-Adidas brothers, but there was a conflict, and one of them left Adidas to create Puma.
Now that there is not much left in the contract of Yidun, this matter must be unpopular in the circle, and other manufacturers must know about it.
In case they want to dig into the corner of the wall at that time, Adidas will be extremely passive at that time.
Even if there is a clause in the contract for priority renewal, in the face of malicious price increases by other companies, they are expected to be more passive at that time.
So for Adidas, the best plan is to renew Eden early.
"I don't know much about this, related business matters, let's talk to my agent Xia Jiuli, anyway, you also have his phone number." Yi Dun smiled and did a tai chi.
Lao Qi's face was a little disappointed, but this result was not beyond his expectations.
