Chapter 111: Signature Boots

My Neighbor Totoro came to the designated place that Bu Jiai told him, Toyota Center is a multi-functional arena, in addition to being a stadium, it is also a multi-functional entertainment square, Internet cafes, nightclubs, KTV, gyms, swimming pools, there are a lot of high-end restaurants, Totoro said that although he has been playing in the Toyota Center for almost a month, but he really hasn't visited this huge stadium.

"HI, Totoro here!"

As soon as he entered the door of the hotel, his huge figure was immediately seen by Bu Jiayi, and the beautiful agent stood up enthusiastically to greet Totoro, looking as excited as his girlfriend in love when she saw her boyfriend.

My neighbor totoro looked at the strange glances from the other guests around him embarrassedly, the French restaurant is a high-end regular restaurant, and no one usually makes a loud noise during the meal, are you really not afraid of being kicked out?

And more importantly, her voice has attracted the attention of others, and she is not a nobody in Houston now, and it is estimated that some lace gossip magazines will publish news material again the next day.

"Hello, I'm the head of Nike's Texas Division, Bill. Fab, you played a great game today, and you've shown the world that you have the potential to be the best player in the league. ”

The man with glasses stood up first and shook Totoro's hand, and praised the other party a few words, hoping to make a good impression on him.

"Hello, my name is Totoro, a Houston Rockets teammate."

But My Neighbor Totoro's reaction is much colder, as the saying goes, don't talk about feelings when you talk about business, the other party will be polite to you, then there must be a conspiracy in it, and he said in his heart that he will not be fooled if he is so smart.

"Well, that's the case, our company sincerely wants to sign a contract with you, although you rejected the first offer, but we also understand that the offer does not match your worth, so we have prepared a second offer this time, I hope you can take a look."

Bill smiled awkwardly, and it could be seen from the other party's performance that although the other party didn't look very old from his face, the city and appetite in his heart were not small at all, and his contract was estimated to be swept into the garbage heap by the other party.

But the man with glasses is still ready to give it a try, this is 40 million US dollars, that is also an astronomical amount, many Americans are estimated to not see so much money in their lifetime, what if Totoro is obsessed with money, what if he gets excited when he sees this money?

"Only 8 million a year? Excuse me, can I ask you a question? ”

My Neighbor Totoro also drank coffee while carefully reading all the proposed contracts with a total of 6 pages.

"Yes, you ask."

"Me or LeBron James of the Cavaliers, which one is more handsome?"

β€œwhat?”

Bill was dumbfounded for this question, but according to his white aesthetic point of view, he must have thought Totoro was handsome.

"So which rookie season did me or LeBron James perform better?"

The Gorillas hit 20.9 points, 5.9 assists and 5.5 rebounds in their first year with the Cavaliers, helping the Cavaliers, who had only 17 wins last season, improve their record to 35-47, and LeBron's possession rate is also terrifying.

However, Totoro's Rockets team can't see any improvement in their record yet, but he has played 19+7+6 data in more than ten games, and only averages 16.7 shots per game, which is undoubtedly more valuable than LeBron's data.

"So which one is younger me, LeBron James?"

The elite manager of Nike no longer knows what to say, he has now discovered what is called a mountain is higher than a mountain, and when Bu Jiai communicates with him, he can still argue a few words, but when it is Totoro's turn to make a personal move, he finds that he doesn't even have a chance to talk back.

"Well, in terms of your performance now, you have an advantage over the little emperor in all aspects, but Mr. LeBron became famous in high school after all, and his popularity was known throughout the United States at that time, so ......."

"You talk to me about influence? It's true that I was unknown in high school, but how many of you American elderly and children are counted together? 300 million is up to the sky, right? ”

The corners of My Neighbor Totoro's mouth curled slightly, "But do you know how many people there are in China?" How many people are there in Asia? I advise you to investigate my current influence in Asia and negotiate a contract with me, he was able to sign for 7 years and 93 million US dollars with his popularity in the United States in high school, and I only have 40 million for 5 years? ”

Well, Bill felt that he was about to lose, and what the other party said was reasonable, and he almost made himself feel that this not small contract was actually insulting him.

Bill heard what this man meant, and he wanted to copy LeBron's sky-high contract, but the actual problem was that they Nike couldn't give him such a huge contract.

It's not that they really look down on Totoro and think he's not as good as LeBron, but because they have too many stars under Nike.

Not to mention the old hooligan Jordan, Kobe, James, Durant, Chris Paul, Stoudemire, O'Neal Jr., Pierce, and Nash are all their stars, they make a lot of money every year, but they also invest a lot, so either Totoro can win the NBA championship this year, otherwise they won't fight like this.

"Okay then, I see what you mean, I need to go and report to the higher-ups what you mean, maybe we can meet again in a few days."

Bill saw that the negotiations could not go on and prepared to leave, but at this time Totoro reached out to stop the other party.

"Is there still a play?"

Bill was overjoyed all of a sudden, could it be that the other party had changed his mind? Everything in front of me is pretending to bluff me?

"I definitely can't accept this contract, but I don't have to be the amount of James's contract back then, I can sacrifice a little bit in terms of money, but I need a series of sneakers named after me or a nickname, I want to have my own signature exclusive boots, I have to get a share of the sneakers, if you agree to this, we can negotiate the amount on the contract."

My Neighbor Totoro's words scared Bill so much that he almost didn't make a flat fall on the ground.

Signature boots are a kind of sneakers specially designed and customized for a player, players can add personal brand, name or hobbies and other factors in the design process, and produce exclusively on the exclusive production line, so many stars under Nike are now only Kobe and James enjoy this treatment, and a rookie of yours is going to sign boots, and the appetite is a little too big, right?
