The beautiful sunset turns the surface of Lake Baekam orange-red, and the sky and water surface are connected, forming a path to the sky. Countless tourists raised their cameras on the shores of Baiyan Lake and took pictures of this incomparably beautiful picture.

"It's a beautiful sight." Mark. Through the window, Kim enjoyed the unique beautiful scenery of Baiyan Lake. It's nice to be able to buy a small villa in this kind of place.

"The scenery on the shore of Baiyan Lake is really good, if you have time, you can also go to the lake for a walk, that is a different flavor." Mark. Opposite Kim, Bill. Duffy smiled and took over the right to speak, while Yiyang, who was beside him, just sat on the stool with a blank face and took a sip of coffee.

"Also, how much did you pay for this villa?" Mark. Kim's gaze withdrew from the window and fell on Yiyang's cold face.

"It's over a million dollars, I've heard there's still room for sale." Yiyang replied lightly, he thought that the other party also wanted to buy a house here. However, Mark. This guy Kim has something to say.

"More than a million dollars? That's only a third of your endorsement income. Hahaha, this house is really a good deal! "Mark. Kim deliberately said this to highlight the high price of the contract offered by Adidas to Yiyang.

"You've been really good in the playoffs in recent days. Today, when I was passing by the American Airlines Center Arena, I saw an Adidas advertisement endorsed by you outside. Seriously, our solutions are a perfect fit for you, and your performance has multiplied our revenue. If we continue to sign you with a $3.3 million contract, it will be the greatest disrespect to you! So, Armstrong and I have decided today to sign you to a new long-term contract. "Mark. After admiring the beautiful scenery of Baiyan Lake, Kim finally went straight to the point.

After Mark finished speaking, Armstrong pushed the contract in front of Yiyang and Duffy. When the two of them saw the string of "0" behind the contract endorsement fee, they were dumbfounded. Adidas this time, but play for real!

"$250 million in 10 years, I don't think any company can show more sincerity than us." Looking at Duffy and Yiyang's surprised expressions, Mark. Kim smirked. Although Duffy is a top manager, even he is the first time to handle such a large amount of contracts for his players!

Although Yiyang had already heard Duffy say this number when he was on the phone, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw the contract with his own eyes. Yiyang's pursuit of money now is indeed not as strong as when he first entered the alliance, but in the face of hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation, a normal person will be moved.

Bill. Duffy is more knowledgeable than Yiyang, but he also knows very well that $250 million is almost a price that does not need to be considered. The contract signed by Adidas and Ross last year was 190 million for 14 years. Yiyang's contract is only 10 years, but it is worth 250 million. As a top manager, Duffy naturally understands this kind of elementary school math. The details of this contract renewal have been agreed on by both parties, and the purpose is to prevent Rose's team from contradicting Adidas because of this. It is so much higher than Rose's offer, which also shows the high expectations of Adidas.

"That's not a small amount, Mr. Mark, what do you think?" Duffy looked at Yiyang, although 250 million is already an astronomical amount, but if Yiyang wants to, Duffy will continue to raise the price. But Yiyang is not the kind of person who is insatiable, 250 million US dollars, this price is already very satisfactory to him.

Seeing Yiyang nodding slightly, Duffy carefully looked through the details of the contract. 250 million in ten years is indeed a lot, but the experienced Duffy knows very well that he can't be overwhelmed by the joy of the moment.

"Athlete awards?" When Duffy, who was looking through the contract, saw such an unfamiliar word, he couldn't help but ask. The contract says that if Yiyang does not win any "athlete awards" for two consecutive years, the income from the endorsement contract will be cut by 50%. The problem is that the term "athlete awards" doesn't exist in the NBA at all. Duffy looked up at Mark, hoping he could give an explanation.

"We just wanted to use that contract term to refer to specific awards in the NBA, such as Most Valuable Player, All-Star selection, NBA championship, All-Team of the Season, Second or Third Team, and so on. In order to avoid repeating the names of all of the above awards in the contract, choose a noun to refer to them. In other words, as long as you don't go home empty-handed for two consecutive years in the next 10 years, you don't have to worry about having your amount cut. "Mark. Kim spread his hands, and in this way, the request did not seem excessive.

Judging from Yiyang's current development trajectory, even if he doesn't get any honors, it is almost impossible to miss the All-Star team for two consecutive years. Unless, Yiyang has some major injury. But injuries are unpredictable. What's more, Yiyang has played full-time for three consecutive seasons so far. He doesn't have a vulnerable physique, and the chances of a major injury are even smaller than Rose's, the youngest MVP.

Some of the other details of the contract are understandable in Duffy's opinion. It's nothing more than that Yiyang must wear Adidas sneakers to all public occasions, and even if Vignali gives Jordan a generation of combat boots to Yiyang in the future, Yiyang can only collect them, not put them on his feet.

Adidas has the right to post on Yiyang's social media accounts for the purpose of promoting the product. In addition, if Yiyang is involved in a public scandal, then Adidas also has the right to unilaterally terminate the contract. If someone else had come across this clause, Duffy might have hesitated. But for Yiyang, Duffy is still very relieved about his private life.

Most importantly, this contract is a signed shoe contract. In other words, in the next few years, Adidas will vigorously develop Yiyang's exclusive signature shoes. For top players, a high-value signed shoe endorsement contract can give him more exposure opportunities, show a more personal side, and help players better connect with fans and consumers. It is undeniable that the added value of a signed shoe contract can be extremely beneficial for a player to build his or her personal brand over the course of a long career.

Think about how popular Nike's James, Durant and Kobe sneakers are around the world, and you can see why Adidas is so keen to create exclusive sneakers for Yiyang. Signature sneakers tend to be the hottest and most sought-after sneakers. The impact of the signature sneaker will continue throughout the fans' upbringing, representing a unique style and story of their favorite players.

After all the terms were thoroughly studied by Duffy, the experienced manager nodded lightly to Chong Yiyang. "There's nothing else wrong with the contract, we can sign it now if you want."

Hearing Duffy loosen his mouth, Mark. Kim's heart was in his throat. Just now he received an inside message that Nike has prepared an 11-year, $300 million super sky-high contract for Yiyang! If Yiyang doesn't sign now, then Adidas will most likely lose their most popular brand spokesperson. Looking at Yiyang's expressionless appearance, Mark even felt that he was more nervous than throwing a lore ball now.

Yiyang looked at Duffy, and then at the number with a string of "0" on the contract. Since Duffy said yes, what opinion can he, a person who doesn't know anything about contracts, give? There is nothing too harsh about the terms, but there are many bonus factors. Yiyang didn't think about it for long, and picked up the pen on the table.

After signing this contract, Yiyang will become one of the most expensive sneaker endorsement people in the basketball world. But now he didn't think about it so much, he just knew that he and his mother would never have to live those fucking hard days again.

Yiyang made up his mind, and then neatly signed his name on the contract. Until this moment, Mark. Jin Cai finally breathed a sigh of relief. I'm sorry Nike, you're just holding a billion dollars right now, and there's nowhere to smash it! You've got James, Durant and Kobe, and now, we're stockpiling potential stocks like Rose and Yiyang! It seems that Adidas' turnaround is about to succeed.

Seeing that things are settled, Mark. Jin excitedly raised his wine glass, a coffee cup to be exact, because Yiyang insisted on not drinking, after all, he still had a game tomorrow.

"Alright, let's forget all the serious terms for a moment. Happy summer, Duffy, too. Thank you for your efforts in the past three years, I believe that in the next ten years, we will cooperate more happily! ”

"Yes, you give the money, and we do the work. Duffy also raised his glass, "Cheers, I think in the days to come, we will be in a better mood to sit together and enjoy the beautiful scenery of White Rock Lake." ”

The four coffee cups gently collided together with a crisp sound. A shocking contract, just under the sunset on the shore of Baiyan Lake, was born unconsciously......
