Chapter 123: Signing with Nike

After a week of physical training, Yi Jianlian's physical fitness has improved significantly, and at the end of the playoffs, his physical strength value was 69, and now it has reached 73.

Of course, there are multiple reasons for this.

For example, the potential is maximized, although it is not as perverted as other plug-ins, but the progress of each training is indeed faster than that of the average player.

In addition, Yi Jianlian is only 21 years old this year, which belongs to the age when the body can make further progress.

Together, these have made such a big change in the first week of his physical training, but this increase is declining at a visible rate, according to the current progress and Jessica's cycle of increasing the amount of training, Yi Jianlian himself estimated that by the time he returned to China in mid-June, he thought that his physical fitness value could reach about 76 points, which was already the sky.

"I can only wait for the Olympics to finish and then continue the special training!"

The physical fitness value of 76 points is definitely not enough in the new season, as far as Yi Jianlian's estimate goes, at least 80 points must go up!

***

During Yi Jianlian's training period, Dan Feigen was not idle, and made appointments for him to meet with representatives of Reebok and Adidas, because Yi Jianlian had to train during the day, so all the meetings were put at night.

Naturally, the two sneaker manufacturers have no objections, as long as they can meet!

The contract given by Reebok is 60 million for five years, and it is worth mentioning that Yao Ming is currently the spokesperson of Reebok, and the contract given to him by Reebok was 50 million for 7 years.

But this doesn't mean anything, Yao Ming signed the contract in 03 years, and Yao Ming is still an inside player, and Yi Jianlian is a striker who can play the No. 3 position, if these factors are added together, it can be said that Reebok gave the two Chinese players the same attention.

Adidas' contract is much larger than Reebok's, 75 million for six years, but this contract is still nothing compared to Adidas' current five Tigers Maddy, Arenas, Chauncy Billups, Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan, among these five, except for Arenas, the others have signed lifetime contracts with Adidas.

And although Yi Jianlian's contract looks not small, it is almost catching up with Nike's ninety million in seven years, but it is missing so many million, which is less!

Lack of courage and arrogance has always been a big problem for the Adidas brand, and it is also the reason why the brand failed to do Nike in the end.

I think that Mr. Qiao took the contract given by Nike to the executives of Adidas, and expressed his thoughts very euphemistically: As long as you are willing to follow up on this contract, I don't ask for more, as long as you match this contract, then I will sign with you.

As a result, people said no, and we didn't follow.

Well, gorgeously missed the first person in NBA history!

Later, because of some well-known things, they forcibly terminated the contract with Kobe, but the reason why they completely decided to terminate the contract was not Kobe's misstep, but Kobe's desire to add a few million, well, Adidas's thoughts at the time were like this - you are especially worthy of the current force!

Well, Gorgeous Drops missed the second NBA-time shooting guard!

Then he played braggart in the signing with the "little emperor" LeBron, first said I will give you a contract of 100 million, LeBron was fooled by him, and when he got there, it was only 70 million, LeBron was unhappy, and turned around and signed a 7-year 90 million contract with Nike.

The guy who has the opportunity to become the No. 1 in NBA all-time scoring list in the future has been missed by them again!

In fact, it can be seen that Adidas had a better reputation than Nike in the early days, and almost all players' first choice was Adidas, but it's a pity! The great country was ruined by their blind arrogance and riotous operation!

It's really weird, the price Adidas gave back is a little less than Nike, and it's all back, as if to say that I can sign the player you want if I give those millions less!

This time too, the contract for Yi Jianlian is 75 million for 6 years, and the card is just right, will you die if you give the extra 5 million?

Well, on you!

It really confirms what Zhou Shuren said: If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates.

Yi Jianlian really doesn't know what Adidas' executives think!

Forget it, let him go! I don't want to sign with you anyway......

The news of these two meetings made Dan Fagan let him out, and Nike's representative immediately acted and resubmitted the contract, which was very atmospheric and bold, not an increase of millions and millions, but a direct 7 years and 100 million!

"Courageous, in the end, the person who does great things!"

Yi Jianlian likes such collaborators, what he didn't say, that's it!

Dan Fagan was also very excited, he was quite sad that his commission had changed from four percent to two percent! It's not sad at all now, such a big contract, even if it's only two percent of the commission, that's still two million income!

Or maybe you want to be an agent for big-name players!

This soup is enough to drink and eat~

The two sides soon met and arranged to sign the contract, and Yi Jianlian read the contract page by page very carefully.

I have to say that although this contract is big, there are also a lot of restrictions, of course, the sneaker contract cannot be without restrictions, Adidas is more ruthless in this regard, he needs players to maintain his image all the time.

For example, Duncan comes across as humble and low-key, so they limit Duncan's contract to a maximum of a few business events and cocktail parties a year.

Another example is Harden, the first reaction is his beard, so in the contract signed by Harden and Adidas, he is required to maintain his bearded image during the contract period, well~ It is said that because of this, Harden spends millions of dollars on his beard every year!

Nike naturally has some restrictions on Yi Jianlian.

However, at this time, the superiority of Yi Jianlian's Chinese players is reflected, and the biggest selling point of his shoes is naturally in his skin color.

Nike's restriction is also related to this: don't bleach your skin - the devil can do such stupid things!

In other words, Yi Jianlian is equal to no image constraints,

However, there are some other rules and regulations in the contract, such as the number of dunks in a season must be more than 60, and the number of games played as a small forward must be more than 50.

If you fail to meet these conditions due to injury, you will not be able to pay the full salary of the contract.

In short, after reading the contract, Yi Jianlian's first reaction was that this 100 million is not mine now, and how much I can get in the future is really not certain!

Fortunately, the base of this contract is large enough, even if some conditions cannot be completed, it can still get a large amount of money, and Yi Jianlian does not have so much sense of loss, with a wave of his hand, Yi Jianlian wrote his name on the contract in a dashing manner.

Nike's follow-up action was also fast enough, and about an hour after signing the contract, the news about the signing was announced by major websites one after another:

"100 million in 7 years, the largest rookie sneaker contract in history was born!"
