When the Spurs won the championship in Indiana, although tens of thousands of Spurs fans have gathered in Indiana, the current Spurs team is still eager to bring Larry? The O'Brien Cup returns to San Antonio as soon as possible, as there are many more Spurs fans waiting for them to return in San Antonio.

In this case, although the Spurs celebrated almost all night, the whole Spurs team still dragged their tired and drunk bodies to board the charter flight back to San Antonio early the next morning. After a nearly three-hour flight, the Spurs returned to San Antonio on a charter flight at noon that day.

When Meng Xu walked out of St. Anthony's Airport with the team, he was greeted by a sea of people and various banners and slogans that had almost crowded the square in front of the airport. Especially when Spurs boss Pete? When Holt walked out with the championship trophy in his hand, the crowd in the square erupted in cheers that toppled the San Antonio Airport terminal.

Hot on the heels of Pete? Every Spurs player who came out after Holt was cheered by almost all the fans, and when Duncan came out with the FMVP trophy as the last one in the finale, the fans at the scene shouted the MVP slogan of Tim Duncan's name.

At this moment, Meng Xu, who had already walked onto the parade bus prepared by the team in advance, was also standing on the roof of the double-decker bus, looking at the FMVP trophy in his hand, and waving his hand to the fans, Meng Xu also licked his lips, and it was difficult to hide the envy in his heart.

After a brief declaration of victory, the Spurs' championship parade began at the airport in San Antonio, followed a pre-planned route, circled the city, and finally returned to the San Antonio Spurs club in the early evening, where the bus passed and the surrounding traffic was paralyzed, and the city, with a total population of more than 1.3 million, was thrown into a frenzy because of the Spurs' victory.

。。。。。。

When Meng Xu dragged his tired body back to the apartment, the moment he opened the door, he found that there were no less than a dozen people sitting in this small apartment, and he was already waiting here for his return.

"Meng, hello, we met yesterday." Looking at Meng Xu, who was a little stunned, a middle-aged man in a brand-new black suit quickly stood up from the sofa, walked up to Meng Xu and stretched out his right hand.

"Hello." The person who shook hands with Meng Xu, Meng Xu only met yesterday, this person is the representative of Nike who appeared at the championship award ceremony yesterday.

"First of all, I want to introduce myself, I'm Pete Williams, the full-time head of basketball at Nike, you can call me Pete." After Pete Williams finished speaking, Meng Xu walked into the apartment and found a place to sit down.

"Xiao Xu, this Mr. Pete, is Nike's vice president in charge of basketball." After He Hui finished speaking, he looked at Meng Xu with some resentment: "Where's your phone?" Why can't I get through all the time? I finally got through, and I didn't pick it up yet. ”

Hearing He Hui say this, Meng Xu immediately touched his pocket, pinching the empty pocket, Meng Xu patted his forehead: "It must have fallen during today's championship parade, Terry Porter and Steve Cole, the two old men, have been grabbing the championship trophy with me, and they must have fallen on the bus when they tore with me." ”

"Forget it, let's talk about it later." Hearing Meng Xu say that the phone was lost, He Hui's face looked a lot better: "Mr. Pitt came to San Antonio today to talk to you about signing a contract." ”

"Sister Hui, you just have the final say, everything is up to you." If you want to talk about playing basketball, He Hui is definitely not as good as herself, but if you talk about economic acumen, Meng Xu can't catch up with He Hui even if he rides eight horses, and the top students of Wake Forest Business School are not covered. And He Hui has always treated herself closer than her own sister, and for herself, He Hui also gave up the opportunity to enter Harvard for further study, so Meng Xu has great trust in He Hui, even if he is sold by He Hui, Meng Xu has no complaints.

Since the conversation between Meng Xu and He Hui was in Chinese throughout the whole process, Pete Williams took out a contract prepared in advance after hearing the conversation between the two through his own translator: "Meng, I'll just say it bluntly, for your future and the market behind you, I and our company are very important, so we are willing to pay a lot of money to sign a contract with you, and even after the contract expires, we will consider signing a lifetime contract with you." ”

"Lifetime contract?" As soon as he heard the lifetime contract, Meng Xu was a little stunned, the lifetime contract is basically the same as the deed of sale, and Meng Xu is most concerned about the contract amount, if it is still the same contract as last time, the ghost will sign a lifetime contract with you, thinking of this, Meng Xu also looked at Pete Williams and asked, "Can I ask about the contract amount?" ”

"The total amount of our first contract was $30 million over three years." Pete Williams flipped through a few pages with the contract, then handed it to Meng Xu, pointed to a large string of numbers on it, and then gently spit out two words: "After tax." ”

took the contract and looked at the amount on it carefully, Meng Xu was shocked and speechless by the large string of 0s, the total amount is 30 million US dollars after tax, which is equivalent to 10 million US dollars per year, compared to Nike's last offer, a 0 was directly added to the back. Thinking of so much small money, Meng Xu directly looked at Venus, even David Robinson, the Spurs' highest salary now, can't get so much in a year.

"Once we sign, all of Nike's resources in Asia will be invested in you, and by next year at the latest, we'll launch your signature sneaker。。。。。。" Looking at Meng Xu, who was fascinated by the contract, Pete gushed about how Nike would package and promote Meng Xu, and at the same time looked forward to the future, drawing a big pie for Meng Xu as much as possible.

"Sister Hui, do you think I'm worth so much?" Such a big contract scared Meng Xu all of a sudden, as the saying goes, no profit is too early, his own strength is clear, 10 million US dollars after tax in 1 year, others Meng Xu doesn't know, Duncan and Adi's contract Meng Xu still knows, with Duncan's strength and popularity in the United States, he can't sign such a big contract. Moreover, the contract amount of Reebok and Allen Iverson, which caused a sensation in the United States this year, is only 5 years and 48 million US dollars, which is still before tax, which means that Meng Xu's contract with Nike is now more than those first-line superstars.

"To be honest, I was very surprised when I first saw this number. However, Nike's courage to sign Jordan, who has not yet played in the NBA, is enough to prove their vision, and Nike values not only your future, but also the market behind you. "Just last year, China's GDP exceeded 10 trillion yuan, has become the world's top 5 economies, for China's emerging market, countless multinational giants are coveted, but after Jordan retired, Nike's share in China is also plummeting, so at this time, if there is no Meng Xu, Nike will also find a way to sign Zhang Xu, Li Xu, to maintain their position in the Chinese sporting goods market. And as the first Chinese to log in to the NBA, and after experiencing an outstanding performance in the playoffs, Meng Xu's popularity in China is undoubted, so he has a nearly sky-high contract from Nike.

After figuring this out, Meng Xu also nodded and expressed his willingness to sign a contract with Nike.

“YES。” After receiving Meng Xu's affirmative reply, Pete was also very excited: "Our signing will become another miracle in Nike's history." ”
