Chapter Seventy-One: Bugatti
"Don't sell it, just say something directly, is it a sneaker contract?"
A successful NBA player can have a lot of contracts, but the biggest of those contracts has to be a sneaker contract.
Because basketball is their own profession.
Razors, shampoos, cars or some other things can be endorsed by basketball stars, football stars, and movie stars, but only basketball stars can endorse basketball shoes.
As early as when Totoro first played in the NCAA, three shoe manufacturers approached him to negotiate sneaker contracts, Reebok, Anta and American Jordan respectively offered him contracts ranging from $2 million to $3 million, which seemed to be the endorsement contract of the best role player or interior All-Star, but the term stipulated in the terms was a bit scary, and all of them were limited to 6 years as if they had been negotiated.
My neighbor totoro said that he was not very good at economics, but at that time, he did not have an agent, and he directly swept all three contracts into the garbage heap.
He's not the kind of insider star who can't sell sneakers or a disabled child who is ugly, a second-tier idol player like him, you actually want to sign me with $500,000 a year of cabbage? Unless the other party holds a gun to his head, Totoro will not swallow such a poison contract even if he is brainless.
He is now waiting for the voice of the basketball shoe giant Adidas or Nike, he doesn't believe that the two giants will be indifferent with his continuous upward performance, he is ready to make a fortune from the Yankees or those Europeans, although if the other party signs him, the other party will have a way to earn back the dollars paid to him.........
"That's right, you're really clever, you've always hoped that Adidas and Nike have moved, they have come to me and made an offer for me, Adidas wants to sign you for 6 years and 24 million US dollars for you to endorse them, and Nike is a little more sincere for 7 years and 30 million US dollars, how about it, doesn't it sound tempting?"
Bugay stared at Totoro with beautiful eyes, as if the other party had stripped naked and tempted her on the bed.
"The tempting head, 30 million US dollars will be signed with me for 7 years, and it will only be a little more than 4 million US dollars a year after stepping down, which shows that they still don't take me seriously."
My Neighbor Totoro sneered and shook his head, James' first contract is 7 years and 93 million US dollars, Durant's first contract is 7 years and 60 million US dollars, My Neighbor Totoro's performance is better than James and Durant at the same time, and his style of play is also gorgeous, and there is a huge Chinese market behind him, why is he so much worse than the other party in the contract? Even if those two buddies have a performance bonus in high school, there is no need to be twice as bad, right?
"I don't expect to have a shoe contract that is better than James's, but I definitely can't be less than Durant's, and telling them that we are rejecting this shoe contract and want to sign me for this price is pure dreaming."
My Neighbor Totoro denied it without even thinking about it, it wasn't that he was greedy, but that he had the ability but the other party didn't give him the respect he deserved.
"But if we reject them so bluntly, these angry giants may smear you in the media, and they may never contact us again."
Bugai sighed, and he knew what kind of temper his employer was.
"Hehe, don't worry, I'm a basketball player and not a movie star, as long as I perform well on the court, it's useless for them to spit lotus flowers, on the contrary, they may put down their bodies again to contact us, and even if they don't want to, are they the only two on this earth who sell sneakers?"
My Neighbor Totoro shook his head, he didn't care about his agent's advice at all, he was a person who ate on the basketball court with real skills, why should he be afraid of the other party's so-called revenge? It's okay for Kobe Bryant to be involved in the Eagle County incident back then, and there are highlights on the field to silence those who question him, and Totoro can naturally do it.
"Well, I knew you wouldn't say yes."
Bugai shook his head with a wry smile, then pulled out another pile of white paper.
"Bugatti, if you want to use a 3-year 20 million contract to let you endorse their sports cars, all you need to bear is to shoot a 1-minute advertisement for them every year, if you are not satisfied with the creative idea of the advertisement, you can refuse, and at the same time, you can choose four of their sports cars during the contract period, rest assured, it's completely free."
"Hold the grass, you can also handle this kind of contract? You must have sold your body, right? ”
Totoro was stunned when he heard this, he picked up the contract on the table and flipped through it, it really looked like Bu Jiayi said there were no "extra" additional clauses.
Bugatti is a world-renowned premium sports car brand, originally a French company, but was acquired by the German Volkswagen Group in 1998, but this does not prevent it from still dominating the field of sports car luxury.
A Bugatti sports car is not less than one million US dollars, and its Weilong series is about 25 million soft girl coins in China, Aston Martin is a famous luxury car, right? However, its DB9 series is worth a fraction in front of Bugatti, Land Rover is a famous car, but according to survey statistics, an ordinary Bugatti sports car can be worth 10 Land Rover high-end cars.
And the most important thing is that Totoro himself has not yet ridden himself, and usually drives his own 11 roads in addition to the team bus, which is quite rare for an NBA player.
The other party can get such a contract for him, Totoro can't believe it, unless Bugai has made some unknown deal with his back.........
"Just kidding, I've always been guarded, and I won't give myself to anyone unless it's you."
Bugai said with a smile, his explicit hot words almost causing Totoro to squirt out the tea he had just put in his mouth.......
