Once training resumed, the winter break passed quickly. The Bruins are not inviting any team to play a friendly match.

For this sudden dark horse, the strong teams of the entire NCAA have avoided it.

Even the two teams of the Tigers and the Blue Devils, who had played each other before, the two managers politely hung up when they received a call from Wacker.

Of course, they're not afraid of the Bruins. It's just that I don't want to expose my bottom tricks right now.

While training, Zhang Yi participated in a variety show for basketball high school students across the United States.

Unlike other contestants, Zhang Yi has his own idol halo after all, so the whole show seems to revolve around him.

In addition to him, the Bruins also have Vali and Robert, and more than a dozen freshmen such as Fei of the Wildcats and Genji of the Tigers are concentrated in Los Angeles.

It's not just WACKER who cares about the exposure of its disciples, but every player here comes with the expectations of the head coach.

Although Zhang Yi's success cannot be replicated, everyone also tries to make their team out of an influential college star.

The NCAA league is also moving towards a more commercial model. Coupled with their in-depth cooperation with James' KING company, the value of college players has been paid more attention.

During the holiday season, Zhang Yi had already received offers for four sneaker contracts, which forced him to find a manager.

Originally, Shengzi volunteered, after all, he still has some experience in dealing with business affairs.

And if Zhang Yi wants to start a basketball circle of his own, the people around him must be trustworthy guys.

However, the status of Shengzi Chaolian Game Intern Assistant made it impossible for him to attend the negotiation for Zhang Yi, so he had to find someone else.

The amount of these four contracts is not small, and it is second only to Valanda, who will be confirmed to be in the NBA next year among college basketball players.

Zhang Yi couldn't find a suitable agent, so he kept shirking and had no choice.

Even if he asked Wacker, the answer he got was similar to what Zhang Yi thought himself, and this matter must be cautious.

It doesn't have much to do with the amount of the contract, and the most important thing is that signing the contract itself involves camp issues.

This incident started when Jordan got involved in Nike's business and brought a star into the ownership.

The sneaker contract is the first hurdle for basketball rookies!

Zhang Yi is worried, because signing a contract is also a part of the variety show.

If he doesn't complete this item, it's likely that his place will be squeezed out by someone else.

Vali and Robert both got Nike's rookie contracts, although the amount is not large, but they are also flexible short-term contracts with good development.

Just when Zhang Yi was worried, his friend Helan, who had worked with the VBLY Alliance before, invited them out for dinner.

Holland has been in the basketball circle for many years, and in order to run the league, he has learned a lot about economics.

To put it simply, for a scout like Horant, he understands the doorway very thoroughly.

After asking him, Zhang Yi didn't think much about it, and directly told Horant, "Are you willing to be my agent?" This job shouldn't delay you from dealing with the affairs of the Alliance. ”

If someone else made this kind of request, Helant might have to think about it, although he was short of money, he really didn't have much interest in things outside the alliance.

But Zhang Yi was kind to him after all, and led the revival of VBLY in the most difficult time.

Helante immediately stretched out his big hand, "Don't worry, I will help you take care of the contract affairs comfortably!" ”

The next day, Zhang Yi took him to participate in the offers of several sports brands.

These brand managers were a little surprised by the appearance of Horant, after all, this big man is still very famous in the Los Angeles basketball circle.

In the bathroom, Zhang Yi couldn't help but ask him, "What do you think?" ”

And Horrant just shook his head and said, "The best hasn't come yet." ”

Basketball is Zhang Yi's strength, but he is really not good at business negotiation.

After Nike raised the price a few times, he himself even felt that it was okay, and Helant still shook his head.

The first official meeting did not go away. "In a hurry?" Holder, the big man, asked.

Zhang Yi suddenly learned what he looked like today, and shook his head with furrowed brows. It made both of them laugh in an instant.

"If it's just a hasty thing, I'll be in a hurry, thank you." As he spoke, Zhang Yi raised his hand and the two bumped fists in greeting.

"There will be a reply soon." Although it is now four companies that have thrown olive branches, in fact, they are all behind one person.

It stands to reason that Nike's final offer is already very reasonable, even exceeding the contract of the current NCAA No. 1 'Blue Devil' Valanda, but Horrant knows that there should be a spoiler soon.

Today's sports brand is ostensibly a monopoly of Nike, but many companies that stand in the research and development of new technologies are rapidly eating away at this cake.

Holland thought Nike was no longer good, and the moment they walked out of the Nike building, a phone call came to prove his point.

A luxurious smart car stopped in front of Zhang Yi and the others. When the window slid down, it was Jason, the chief designer of KING's sports brand, who was sitting in the car.

After the two got into the car, Jason took the lead and said, "Your negotiation today is wonderful, Horant, your ability is a bit beyond my expectations." ”

Jason is not only a genius designer, but also James's eldest son-in-law. In Los Angeles, his presence is basically equivalent to James himself.

"Thank you. It seems that without further ado, let's get straight to the point. "What Herant was waiting for was his appearance.

Although the performance of KING's company is a bit beyond his expectations, Zhang Yi has such value.

Zhang Yi looked at the two people who were not smiling, and thought to himself that businessmen were really not easy to do.

The car didn't start because Zhang Yi drove it himself. Jason's hand projected a new fiery red sneaker.

"This is my design for you, Yi Gen sneakers, do you like it?"

This pair of shoes is really a surprise, especially Zhang Yi saw the characteristics of Uncle Long's first-generation dragon combat boots from its cross-section.

"These shoes, plus Nike's final offer for you! I've already drawn up the contract, if you will! ”

Jason immediately had a virtual contract on his hands. Holland studied it carefully and found that there was nothing wrong, and the most important thing was that the sincerity of KING's cooperation could also be seen from this pair of sneakers.

"You should know who the future is!" Jason's words weren't finished yet, Zhang Yi immediately took over the contract, "I'll sign it!" ”

Horant didn't stop him, but he didn't expect Zhang Yi to sign so resolutely at this time.

Whether it is a large contract or a customized sneaker, it is not very attractive to Zhang Yi, and this contract can be regarded as a return to James.

"Haha, from today onwards, we are partners!"

Jason laughed and even opened a bottle of champagne. And Helante and Zhang Yi glanced at each other, and also smiled and took the cup and drank it all!
