"Haven't come yet......?"

Sacramento, a private clubhouse, in a private room.

A few men who didn't look like rich businessmen and magnates, but looked like IT men, sat here, and although they had opened a pretty good bottle of red wine in front of them, they were obviously not used to drinking red wine as such an "elegant" thing, and what they wanted to do most was ......

"I really want to finish my work and go to the Internet café......"

Well...... That's it......

"Phew! You give me a little bit of the same! ”

Seeing that some of his subordinates showed this emotion, the man who took the lead glared at his subordinates, stretched out his hand to tidy up his appearance, and said: "Today's negotiation is very critical, and we don't know how much the other party's specific psychological price is." Although we are now in time to catch up with the first batch of bindings, it is a pity...... The All-Star Game didn't catch up in advance! ”

"It's just, those sub-shareholders are really annoying!"

The leader's words resonated with everyone at the scene, and several IT men frowned, gritted their teeth and said: "I don't know basketball at all, and I still want to guide our work, we can't say it!" As soon as you say your opinion, they feel that you are challenging authority! Whew! ”

"yes, yes, it's speechless!"

The other person also nodded and said: "It was pretty good, I talked to my cousin before the All-Star Game and won it early, and the price at that time must be much lower than now." Now it's a good thing, as soon as the All-Star Game is over, my cousin's popularity has risen like a rocket, and needless to say, his worth must have increased several times. Come and talk to him again at this time, and it will be clear that you want to spend a lot of money! ”

The people sitting in the box were none other than the Take-To, the working group members of the familiar 2K company.

The leader of the external propaganda negotiations, of course, proposed to the company early in the morning to sign his cousin Gu Yu early and lock Gu Yu to become the 2K official spokesman for the next generation of cover characters, Rooney.

And sitting next to Rooney and flying to Sacramento together, of course, this is to express the sincerity of the company to Gu Yu, after all, everyone knows Gu Yu's powder keg character, in case this detail is neglected, God knows if Gu Yu will shake his hand and "Lao Tzu is gone"! members, and several.

These members are real technicians. Some are responsible for player modeling, some are responsible for scoring players' ability values, some are responsible for the design of the game's action system, and some are responsible for the details of the special modes such as dynasty mode and individual mode.

The reason why these people, not those in marketing positions, were sent to accompany Rooney to meet Gu Yu was also proposed by Rooney.

"Cousin Gu Yu, this person's personality is very strange, I used to ask in other companies, and I inquired about friends who had contact with him."

At the meeting before departure, Rooney said to the boss: "He doesn't seem to care much about money, but more about the quality of the products he endorses." Also, he made up his mind not to endorse Japanese and Korean products, if it is a Chinese product, as long as the quality is better and the reputation is good, he will even make a big concession on the price. ”

"Hmm...... A patriotic youth? ”

The boss asked.

In fact, such players also exist, except for Gu Yu, the NBA is not a pure, copper-smelling commercial league. Some players who have a true love for basketball and attach great importance to their image will also consider other additional factors more when negotiating business cooperation, rather than paying full attention to a money word.

"You can say that, but I think it'......"

Rooney replied: "My cousin is more of a ...... than a patriotic young man Well...... ...... people who have pursuits? I don't know if you can understand me if I describe it like this? ”

"Approximately."

The boss nodded.

Dek Nowitzki is like that!

And Barkley too, these guys seem to have different personalities on the surface, but on the inside they are all absolutely right fighters, the kind that have to stand and die even if they want to lose. In their hearts, how much money they give for the products they endorse is really not the first consideration, but more important is whether these companies and products are in line with their own values.

For example, Barkley, 2K has not yet obtained the image rights of this big fat man. It stands to reason that with Barkley's current popularity, the asking price cannot be too high. But the problem is that the fat man said this:

"Don't become a short man in the game, what if you give me a rebound value of 99?? I don't think I've ever played your game! Yao Ming is invincible in your game! Get out! ”

Well...... That's right......

Considering this layer, judging from the news from all sides, Rooney feels that Gu Yu is likely to be such a person. If you want to negotiate with Gu Yu, it's easy to say in terms of money, but more importantly, you still have to let Gu Yu know a little:

In the game, you will definitely be the same as in reality, you must be a super killer!

So Rooney's idea is very simple, bring a pinching image designer, and tell Gu Yu that in terms of personal image, you will definitely be handsome.

Bring the leader of the ability assessment team and tell Gu Yu that your ability is at least going to 95, and it will definitely blow up the sky.

Bring an action design expert and tell Gu Yu that your faster-than-light shooting action, we will definitely design and reproduce it very carefully, and we will definitely shoot all over the court invincible.

Then bring the design leader of Dynasty Mode, Personal Mode, etc., and tell Gu Yu that in other game modes, your character will definitely be perfectly reproduced, and you should beat Karn and beat Karn!

With such a team by his side, Gu Yu can clearly know how much the company attaches importance to him, and Gu Yu feels that he is already the person that 2K company wants to sign the most, which is the most important thing.

A person like Gu Yu, only by making him feel your sincerity and enthusiasm can he really impress him and make him make more concessions on the price.

But......

"I'm confident on my cousin's side, but the problem is still with Petri......"

Rooney let out a long sigh and remembered Petri's face that looked like a shrewd businessman, and couldn't help but fall into deep worry.

"Here we are."

Here, Rooney was still thinking about the negotiation strategy for a while, and over there, his subordinates were sticking to the window, and they had already seen the waiter leading a few people over.

"Petri, cousin, and one more ...... It should be the team staff, all here! Ready to prepare!! ”

"Good, good!"

Among the people, except for Rooney, the rest of the people are usually technicians who hide in the studio and don't go out, where have they experienced this kind of negotiation scene? Hearing that Gu Yu was really coming, and the negotiations were about to start, these people were really a little nervous in their hearts, and they couldn't say anything.

"Don't panic!"

Rooney knew that he had to pour some chicken soup into his subordinates at this time: "When you see your cousin in a while, you can hold him and tell him more about basketball." He's a ball addict, don't you all love basketball too? Let him know how much you love basketball and make him feel like you're in the same league as him! You're in charge of taking care of your cousin, Petri will leave it to me, don't panic! Fit? ”

“…… Be!! ”

With Rooney's words, the technicians were a little relieved, and they all stood up and walked to the door, taking a deep breath to adjust their mentality, and waiting for Gu Yu to enter.

"Knock Knock"

"Please come in!"

The door was knocked on by the waiter, and Rooney tidied up his appearance one last time as if he was going to battle.

"This way, please."

The waiter opened the door, and it was not Petri who entered the box first.

“hello-losers！”

It's Gu Yu!

“…… Hahahaha"

No one expected that as soon as Gu Yu entered the venue, not only did he not put on a score, but instead opened his mouth as a joke, and stretched out his hand and waved to greet everyone in a friendly manner.

The original nervousness of the technicians suddenly relaxed a lot, and they laughed out loud.

“…… What are you laughing at? Do you still laugh at Luthor? Is your company culture so special? ”

Gu Yu was very puzzled, only he and Petri knew that he was really not joking. Saying that, Gu Yu also glanced back at Petri and said, "What are they laughing at??" ”

"Poof...... Ahem......! ”

Petri almost burst out laughing, but he still forcibly held back, and said, "Hello everyone, you have worked hard, and you have made a special trip to Sa City." ”

"It should be, it should be ......"

Rooney hurriedly stepped forward to nod and shake hands, and as soon as his eyes signaled, the technicians also stepped forward and shook hands with Gu Yu and his party one by one.

"That...... That's it! ”

When everyone's greetings were over and everyone was seated, Rooney sorted out his thoughts and said, "We came this time with full sincerity." We would like to ask my cousin to be the cover character of our next-generation game product, and if nothing else, we will be on the cover with Chen Dashen. We hope to be able to negotiate a little bit with a few people at this price......"

"I don't participate in the specific price, you talk, I have two questions!"

Without waiting for Rooney to finish speaking, Gu Yu leaned back and interrupted politely: "How many years have you signed??" ”

"Uh......"

Rooney was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Gu Yu to be so straightforward all of a sudden, and hurriedly replied: "Speaking of which, we also want to talk to a few people about this issue." As for our company, we hope to work with my cousin for a long time, and if possible, it is best to sign a long-term contract of two to three years......"

"Uh-huh, okay, then my request is here."

Gu Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "It doesn't matter if anything else, Petri's opinion is my opinion, and he has the final say." My requirement is that if the contract period is more than one year, then it can be signed once a year, and all of them can be signed at the same time, but the contract should be in multiple copies, one contract per year! ”

…… Ha?

Gu Yu's request was somewhat unexpected, and Rooney was completely confused.

But something even more puzzling happened to him.

"The second question is ......"

Gu Yu continued to ask, "When exactly are you going to join the one-click fight mode??? ”

This......

Everyone was confused......

"Petri, you know this requirement, just as before! Let's talk, I'm leaving! I still have to practice! In vain! ”

After speaking, Gu Yu got up and said hello to everyone, and in front of everyone, he turned around and left.
