Chapter 117: Cooperation Reached

In all fairness, Rich Paul's proposal is good, Zhang Feng is destined to be a superstar who takes the global route, Rich Paul's local network resources in the United States can help him win a lot of commercial endorsements, which is undoubtedly stronger than Wang Wanlu, otherwise the shrewd James will not choose Rich Paul as his agent for a long time.

But when it comes to China, Rich Paul's network resources are useless, and relying on Wang Wanlu to take over the endorsement is naturally the most suitable choice, Zhang Feng has never considered these things before, so he didn't expect such a simple strategy.

Harry and the others looked at Zhang Feng in contemplation, which made them very anxious. Harry began to "cough", Steve nodded slightly, and Thomas and Katun pretended to talk: "I think it's good, what about you?" "I think it's OK". The quartet all had a look of "what are you thinking, hurry up and agree" on their faces.

"I'll discuss it with Wang Wanlu first" Zhang Feng got up and left to call, the foursome looked at Zhang Feng puzzled, and Paul crossed Erlang's legs and made a "please" gesture, he seemed to be confident.

Zhang Feng dialed Wang Wanlu's phone and explained the ins and outs to her, but Wang Wanlu only said one sentence:

"Of course, I promised him, this suggestion is very good, Paul can maximize your interests in the European and American markets, and I am the most suitable person to be in charge of the Asian business, so don't hesitate."

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Feng walked back and sat down, "Let's talk about it specifically!" ”。 As soon as these words were spoken, the four Harry all clenched their hands into fists and silently shouted "Oye".

Rich Paul smiled, put down the water glass, and said solemnly: "I will help you jump out of your rookie contract in two years, and with your relationship with Angeli and the benefits you can bring to the Kings, I believe the Kings will re-sign early." If you can trigger the Rose clause, it's a sure thing that I'll sign you with a fixed salary in two years, and the expected return is $160 million over four years, which is a conservative estimate, and the team's salary cap will definitely increase significantly after four years."

After saying this, Rich Paul stopped, took a sip of water, and continued: "So, I want to get a 4% share of the salary, what do you think?" ”。

According to the NBA league's agent terms, the agent commission cannot exceed 4% of the player's salary, so the share proposed by Rich Paul is the largest share.

Zhang Feng estimated in his heart that if it was a 160 million contract, calculated at 4%, Rich Paul would get a commission of $6.4 million, and this part of the money could be earned back from the commercial contract he received? Zhang Feng fell into a quick thought.

Rich Paul did not speak again after proposing a 4% share, which is a strategy in negotiations, and the party who makes the first to speak after making a request often compromises, and he is waiting for Zhang Feng's thoughts and answers.

Seeing that Zhang Feng didn't reply for a long time, Rich Paul said: "I know, there is no evidence, I can show my sincerity first, if I am not mistaken, you will have a sneaker endorsement contract and Coca-Cola's endorsement contract next, do you know what the endorsement price Coca-Cola offers you?" ”。

Zhang Feng glanced at Rich Paul in surprise, he didn't expect that Coca-Cola only asked him to endorse last night, and this morning Rich Paul got the news, and he groaned for a while, Zhang Feng asked curiously: "How much?" ”。

Rich Paul stretched out two fingers, Zhang Feng didn't speak, Harry shouted excitedly: "$2 million? ”。

Rich Paul nodded, indicating that Harry guessed correctly, and Harry slammed off the couch "Damn, that's too much!" ”。

"This is simply bullying, where is it?" Rich Paul choked Harry back with a word.

"Zhang Feng is the first Chinese starting point guard to log in the NBA, the absolute core of the Kings, I dare to say that all Chinese fans are Zhang Feng's fans, Zhang Feng's endorsement will bring at least hundreds of millions of revenue to Coca-Cola, and they actually give 2 million endorsement fees" Rich Paul said indignantly.

Although this is to get a bigger commission for himself, Zhang Feng can see that Rich Paul really thinks Coca-Cola is too much, "Then how much do you think is appropriate?" Zhang Feng asked.

"At least $10 million, let's not talk about it," Rich swept his chest with his hand, indicating that the matter was secure.

"Okay, I believe in you, as long as you can negotiate, I will agree to your 4% salary commission request" Zhang Feng picked up the water cup and gestured to Richie slightly.

"No problem, in order to show my sincerity, I only take 5% of this Coca-Cola endorsement, and I will take 15% of the commercial endorsement in the future, what do you think, of course, it is limited to corporate endorsements in the European and American markets" Richie pushed the boat and put forward his second condition.

In fact, Zhang Feng felt that it didn't matter, business could not be negotiated in a day, and if the cooperation was unpleasant, the agent could also be changed, not to mention that Rich Paul showed enough sincerity.

"And I'm going to tell you a really good news, do you want to hear it now?" Rich Paul sold off.

Originally, Zhang Feng was going to agree, but Richie always likes to make a condition to give a benefit, and he may have thought that Zhang Feng did not agree with the 15% share he proposed.

Zhang Feng was interested and said: "Listen now, if it's really good news, 15% of the share is fine", this is what you have learned and used, Zhang Feng learned Richie's routine.

"If you sign a contract with me, LeBron will go out himself, and the three of us will go together to get NIKE's contract, at least that," Rich snapped a finger.

"A hundred million dollars?" Harry jumped up again with excitement.

"Sit down, it's the basics," Rich gestured to Harry, "They have made too few contracts of interest to match who you are, and what LeBron means is that your first sneaker endorsement contract is on the same level as he was back then."

LeBron didn't play an NBA game in 03, and Nike gave a 7-year 9000 900 million contract, which is the most exaggerated contract ever received by a player in the four major leagues in North America, the focus is not on the amount, but at that time LeBron had not played a game, Nike dared to bet like this, of course, LeBron's team at that time also operated very well, compared with Kevin Durant's rookie period of 7 years 60 million endorsement contract.

Although Kevin Durant's contract is already exaggerated, James's contract is even more exaggerated, so when Rich Barrow proposed that Zhang Feng's first shoe endorsement contract be at the same level as LeBron, everyone was stunned.

"Why is LeBron willing to help me like this?" Zhang Feng asked curiously.

Rich Paul smiled and said: "First, I opened the same company with him, I signed you to help you find endorsements and make money, and second, he believes that you are a superstar in the NBA in the future, and he is willing to gamble, in the final analysis, it is all for profit, of course, he personally appreciates you, he made up his mind after listening to Kobe's evaluation of you."

"What assessment? What are you up to?" Zhang Feng was even more curious.

"He liked your dunk at the beginning, and then he went to see the Summer League finals for you, and Kobe told him that you were a combination of Kobe and LeBron, so he told me on the spot that I must do everything I can to sign you," Rich Paul said.

Hearing this, Zhang Feng nodded frequently, since LeBron is so sincere and can still make money, he has no reason to refuse this agent.

"Sign a contract and do what you say together"

"OK, let's sign a three-year contract first, and then sign it again after three years, the only change after three years is that I will get 5% of the commercial endorsement back, and you will definitely willingly give me 20% of the commercial endorsement when the time comes"

It was supposed to be a contract to be negotiated for a long time, but within a few minutes, the two sides reached a cooperation, it seemed that everything was in Rich Paul's plan, and Zhang Feng was about to usher in the peak of his life.
