Chapter 203: Sneaker Contract
In fact, Hoggist also wanted to sign a domestic brand to show his patriotism, but he promised LeBron that Nike would be given priority in the sneaker contract in the future, although the priority was not directly agreed, but Nike must be preferred in the case of similar contract conditions.
Hogist sighed, "Well, how is it so difficult to be a man of his word? β
Of course, having said that, it is entirely the responsibility of Hoggist himself to cause today's situation of constraints everywhere, who made him ignorant when he was a child and easily made so many promises!
The next day, Joseph sorted out all the sneaker endorsement contract offers he received and took them to Hoggist's home opposite the company, seeing the strings of bloody numbers on the list, Hougist was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, "I can't believe such a high offer for me!" Am I really that good? It's really worthless this year! β
"Haha, of course you're amazing, the sneaker endorsement contracts of all brands Jahill and Miles received are not as high as the ones you received from a single brand, and this is not counting some additional terms!" Joseph was very happy, after all, no matter which brand Howgist accepted, he could get 20% of it.
"Tsk, Adi and Nike are worthy of being sports brand business empires, and they actually gave an average contract of close to 10 million per year, but the years are a bit long? Now it looks like I'm taking advantage of it, but when I get out in a few years, they should be taking advantage, right? β
"That's right, so I deliberately put a star on the front to warn you to pay attention." Joseph said, pointing to the asterisk at the front of the form.
Hoggist cast an approving look, "Not bad, very professional!" The attention to detail is very spotted...... Slow down, buddy, why can't you help but praise, just after praising you, let me find such a big clerical error, what brand is this third brother sports? How come you've never heard of it? You made two more zeros for the offer, right? How is it 9 digits? Hundreds of millions per year? β
"I haven't heard of this brand either, and the email I sent said that it was the No. 1 brand in India, and their quotation unit is Indian rupees, but it is also 1,500 dollars when converted into dollars."
"India? No wonder it has such a name! But how can India's sports brands join in the fun? Don't they just love cricket? Can they understand basketball? Hogist said dismissively.
"You don't care if they understand it or not, this $15 million is real money!" Joseph thought that if Hougist took this contract, he could earn at least 600,000 more, and his heart blossomed.
"Forget it, Indians don't make easy money, and their country's business reputation is too bad." Hoggist took out his mobile phone and checked it on the Internet, and it is not uncommon for Indian companies to default on contract payments, and Hoggist is very suspicious that it is still unknown how much he can get for the 15 million painted cakes. What's more, there is always friction between India and China on the border issue, and every year India provokes China on the border line, and Hougist doesn't want to have anything to do with such a country!
"Do you really stop thinking about it? How about I try to talk to them and let them pay first, and then we get the money and then sign with them? β
"No, this is my great righteousness, and I will never back down, unless they make a public statement condemning the Indian government's illegal occupation of Chinese land, and then the contract will be signed every year, and they must be allowed to pay in advance!" Hoggist is the right color.
"Your conditions are too harsh, they won't agree!" Joseph exclaimed!
"Originally, I wanted to let them retreat, since the beginning of the 20th century, India has been doing things on the territory of our country, such a country and such a race, I don't want to cooperate with them if they don't let them bleed!" Hoggist said through gritted teeth.
"That's a lot of money!" Joseph said regretfully.
"What is money? If the Asan company is really willing to pay first, I will directly donate the 15 million to PLA, so that they can bring the Indians back to the other side of the border as soon as possible! Hougist swore an oath.
Joseph rolled his eyes and said, "Big brother, it's an era of peace, don't shout and kill all day long, okay?" β
Hoggist shook his head, "Alas, you are still too naΓ―ve, the real peace is not endured, it is fought!" β
"I didn't expect you, big brother, as a native 'American', to be a little pink." Joseph said as he crossed out the offer of the Indian company with a pen.
"You're getting more and more of so many nouns, what does little pink mean?" Hougist felt a bit of a motherly word for it.
Joseph waved his hand, "I don't know, forget it, but what about the offers from Japan and South Korea?" Don't you think about it too? β
"Regardless of it, Japan and South Korea are all puppet regimes of the Americans, and from time to time they will make some moths to disgust China, and I don't like them either." Haugist pouted.
"Wait, you don't like Japan and South Korea because they are the puppet regimes of the Americans? So why are you willing to talk to American companies about cooperation? Joseph hit the nail on the head to point out the contradictions in Haugist.
Hoggist was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Joseph to always raise the bar with him recently, and his words were sharp, and it was difficult to fight back, "Why are you so arrogant recently?" Do you want to scold me every now and then? β
"In my current profession, I have to face so many scheming and cunning old foxes, if I fall behind in words, it is easy to be chased by others, and I will lose my interests in contract negotiations, so I want to learn from you now, and practice your eloquence as sharp as you, so that you can grab more benefits for everyone at the negotiation table!" Joseph explained that the drip is not leaky.
"Cut, you have a point. I see that except for the unreliable Third Brother Sports, the prices offered by these companies are almost the same! Wouldn't I have to sign for Nike? After all, your father-in-law is also a Nike district manager now. Hogist said after a rough glance at the list.
"Although my father-in-law is a mid-level Nike, I don't want you to choose Nike for this reason, you should listen to the additional terms of these companies!" Joseph pulled out another stack of materials.
Hougist glanced at Joseph, "You didn't take this thing out earlier!" Let's see, Adi's benefits are good! Design personal exclusive logos, endorse top non-star signed shoes during the rookie contract, and if you win the Rookie of the Year, the most improved player, be selected as an All-Star, and win the MVP of the Rookie Game or the MVP of the All-Star Game, you will launch signed shoes; If you get the MVP and FMVP, the remaining unexecuted amount of the contract will be doubled directly. β
"That's why I'm asking you to take a look at these add-ons before you decide! Last year's champion Andrew . Wiggins signed a contract with Adi for 5 years and 11 million, and Adi gave you a 7-year contract of 63 million, which is higher than Nike's contract for rookie Durant! Although it is not as good as the contract amount that Nike gives you, the clause that doubles the contract amount of MVP or FMVP is too overbearing! Don't you often say that you are a strong contender for MVP and FMVP? If you get the MVP or FMVP next season, the remaining contract will become 108 million for 6 years and 18 million a year, which is already more than Adi's current brother James Harden! The calculator in Joseph's hand snapped, and the numbers kept appearing and disappearing on the screen, and finally what appeared in front of Hogist's eyes was the amount of money that could be obtained after taxes.
"It's really higher than KD, but it's still not as good as rookie LeBron! Rookie LeBron's contract is 90 million for 7 years! However, Nu can increase the contract amount to the top 5 level in the league and become the first brother of Adi, this clause is fantastic, then let's sign Adi! Hoggist said excitedly, patting his thigh.
"Big brother, where is the righteousness that you just rejected the high salary of the Indian company? Why do I look down on your money-eyed expression? Joseph continued to boldly taunt Haugist.
"Who persuaded me to cooperate with an Indian company just now in order to get an extra 600,000 commission? I'm at least a million more than a million! Hogist sneered.
"It's still the eldest brother's words that are sharper!" Joseph seems to be really practicing his poisonous tongue, and he doesn't care if he loses, but he also praises Hoogist, "Next is Under Armour, there is a signed shoe series when you sign a contract, and the treatment is the same as Curry, they have come to us in high school, I don't know what you think about now?" β
"I haven't liked Under Armour very much in the past few years, I always thought it was because of the way they treated old employees like your father-in-law, and the company culture reflected in it was hard for me to accept, but now I gradually understand that the so-called business is business, so I can gradually understand all kinds of harsh or perverted company culture, but I found that I still don't like the Under Armour brand, and then I realized that the reason why I don't like this brand is actually not so complicated, I just think that Under Armour shoes are too ugly." Hougist said a lot, but Joseph didn't expect the reason to be so simple.
"Maybe it's because the time is too short! In 09, rookie Jennings scored 55 points to let Under Armour into the public's sight, and now it has only been six years, and the sneakers are indeed not as many as Adinaike's classics, and the technology seems to be weaker, and the offer has no advantage, so they also crossed it out, right? Joseph asked.
"Cross out, cross out, let's take a look at domestic production! What are the unique additional terms and conditions of Li-Ning, Anta Peak? Hoggist asked, turning to the second page.
"Li Ning is more discerning and provides our company with a very special plan, called 'Helian Tielin' in Chinese, the plan is very ambitious, but I am worried that your popularity cannot support such a huge plan now." Joseph pulled out a stack of documents pressed on the bottom layer of many contract documents, and said mysteriously.
Haugist was very confused by a Chinese phrase that popped up for Joseph, because he only understood the word "Helian" with his surname, but the first thing that came to his mind was the word that sounded "Tielin......
He interrupted Joseph, who was about to give a speech, and asked curiously, "How do you write that 'Tielin' in Chinese?" Is it gold lost iron, double wood forest? It's not a tiger pounce wet to the Spurs' Daniel. Richard. Green's new title, just because his three-point shooting rate this season is not as accurate as last year's finals, so netizens call him Green, who hits iron with his hands open, referred to as Zhang Tielin, nicknamed Tielin. β
"Don't interrupt! I was about to talk about it! It is these two words, there is a plan on the plan, and the plan sent by Li Ning Company is pure Chinese! But then why is it called Zhang Tielin? Why don't you call Zhang Tiege, Hand Dalin or something! Joseph handed the stack of papers to Haugist.
"You don't usually watch domestic TV dramas, right? Do you know about "Huanzhu Gege"? Hogist asked, taking the paper.
"Of course I know about "Huanzhu Gege"! I've read it, the one Qiong Yao wrote! Joseph said disapprehantly, which surprised Hogist, "You actually read the original?" β
Joseph said lightly: "My family has all that Grandma Qiong Yao, and my father said that he was a neighbor with Grandma Qiong Yao for a while in Taiwan when he was a child. β
"Zhang Tielin played the emperor Ama in the TV series version of "Huanzhu Gege"! It is very popular in China and is almost a household name, so netizens gave Danny such a nickname. Hoggist began to study the document carefully, and there were four large vertical letters on the front, which read: ......
At first glance, these four words Haogist didn't know any of them, but the more he looked at them, the more familiar they became, and they seemed to be the words "Helian" in Western Xia, so he asked uncertainly, "What is this......?" Western Xia Wen? β
"Big brother, you are a descendant of the Tangut people, what do you ask me?" Joseph spread his hands and said, "I can't read it anyway, but the format of the second page is exactly the same, but those four words have been replaced with Chinese, I think it should be the same meaning!" β
Haogist turned to the second page, the top four Chinese characters, the first two were really the same as he thought, that is, the two words of Helian, and the last two words were indeed "Tielin". Hoggist's face suddenly drooped, "What does Li Ning Company mean?" Bullied me into not going to Chinese basketball forums? Is this cursing me for shooting as well as Danny? I also wrote it twice in Western Xia script and Chinese, is it because I am afraid that the curse of Chinese characters is not strong enough to deliberately use the traditional script of my nation to strengthen the effect? β
Joseph looked embarrassed and was about to explain, but at this time, Qiu Jingli, who was drinking milk on the side, burst into laughter and opened Chrysostom, "You are stupid! If Tie Lin has no special meaning, can he find the corresponding text of the Tangut script? Your mother-in-law, the first person to study Xixia culture, can't just find a word to write the corresponding Tangut characters, Li Ning Company deliberately found two Tangut characters corresponding to the self-made words of this forum to curse you, the future main force of the national team, Li Ning is crazy? You've opened your brain too much! β
"Yo, forget you, there is still a half-expert in Western Xia culture sitting here! Then explain to me the meaning of this iron forest! Hoggist kicked Joseph, who looked embarrassed, away and approached Qiu Jingli and asked.
"What do you mean by half an expert? I'm an expert in studying Western Xia, okay! Qiu Jingli was very dissatisfied with Haugist's wording.
