Chapter 70: Adi
"I said Zhao Ling, you are really not bad, you can find such a reliable contractor for me so quickly?" Wang Dacang can be described by the word impressive for Zhao Ling at this time, because he really didn't expect that in such a short period of time, Zhao Ling would find a good sneaker contract, and the contractor turned out to be the famous Adidas.
That's right, you really heard it right, it's Adidas, not King Adi of the Great Celestial Empire!
At that time, when Wang Dacang heard Zhao Ling talk to himself with a triumphant expression, Wang Dacang felt as if he was in a dream. One of the most powerful sports brands in Germany and even in the world, Wang Cannon has heard of it N times.
I remember when I was a child, Wang Dacang and his friends dreamed of being able to buy a pair of genuine Adidas sneakers and show off in the class.
But now Zhao Ling actually told him that Adidas was going to sign a sneaker contract with him, how could Wang Cannon not be surprised? Thinking that he might soon have sneakers named after himself, and they would be sold in major freight yards, turning into round silver and returning to his arms, Wang Dacang's inner excitement couldn't be suppressed.
"Of course, you don't look at who I am!" Zhao Ling looked up triumphantly, looking like I was very good.
"Very good, very good, if you can really say it, I will invite you to dinner!" Wang Dacang happily touched Zhao Ling's head and said.
Zhao Ling glanced at Wang Dacang, stretched out her hand to knock out Wang Dacang's salty pig hand, and said angrily: "Come on, please eat?" I guess it's just a casual stall to make things happen, right? ”
"Let's talk about it again."
At this time, Wang Dacang and Zhao Ling were sitting in a private room in a hotel, waiting for the personnel who came to negotiate the contract, the official personnel of Adidas.
The two didn't wait long, and soon saw the main person, a middle-aged man with glasses, and a sexy blonde beauty in a professional OL outfit.
"Hello, Mr. Wang Cannon, it's a pleasure to see you." As soon as the middle-aged man came in, he shook hands with Wang Dacang very warmly, with a smile on his face, "My name is Jack, and this is my main force, Jenny." ”
"Jack?" For a moment, Wang Cannon was stunned for a moment, and took a closer look at this guy also called Jack, Wang Cannon found that this guy looked a little similar to the agent Jack he had seen before, wearing glasses and a little bald on the top of his head.
"Hello, this is my agent, Zhao Ling." Wang Cannon introduced Zhao Ling.
"Hello Ms. Zhao Ling." Jack shook hands with Zhao Ling again, and both sat down.
"That's right, Mr. Wang Dacang, we at Adidas Enterprises are very optimistic about Mr. Wang's prospects in the NBA, so we want to sign a contract with you about sneaker sponsorship." As soon as Jack sat down, he immediately went straight to the point. "If the negotiation is successful and the contract is signed, we will create exclusive sneakers for Mr. Wang Dacang and pay you a large amount of sponsorship."
"Of course, before I do that, I still need to ask a few necessary questions, Mr. Wang Dacang should not have signed a sponsorship contract with any sneaker sponsors before, right? And "
"Eh" Wang Cannon listened to this official words, and suddenly had a little headache. "Don't mind, I'm just a player, just ask my agent if you have any questions."
"This" Jack looked at Wang Cannon a little embarrassed, and suddenly smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I have already communicated with your agent in the previous phone call, but there was a little problem in our communication"
"Minor questions?" Wang Dacang looked at Zhao Ling a little strangely, but was surprised to find that Zhao Ling actually lowered his head, and suddenly a bad feeling rose in Wang Cannon's heart.
"Yes." Jack said with a wry smile: "In the previous telephone conversation, your agent, Ms. Zhao Lin, always thought that I was a liar and thought that what I said was a fraud"
"Liars? Scams? Wang Dacang instantly felt that his brain capacity was a little insufficient, "Wait! Let me think about it carefully" After thinking about it for three seconds, Wang Dacang pulled his hair and asked, "You said that when you called her, she thought you were a liar?" Does that mean you called her? ”
"yes? We checked your agent's phone number in the NBA official and then took the initiative to communicate. Jack said.
Wang Cannon's face suddenly darkened.
"I'm sorry, Jack, I'll go out with my agent to talk." Wang Cannon pulled Zhao Ling and walked out.
"I think you need to explain it to me!" Wang Cannon, who went out, stared at Zhao Ling and asked.
"Well" Zhao Ling stuck out her tongue and smiled embarrassedly, "Don't care about these details!" ”
Wang Cannon was furious: "People called you and took the initiative to sign a sponsorship contract, and you even used this thing as a touted capital to brag to me?" What's even worse is that you even took this opportunity to trick me into inviting you to dinner? ”
"Holy!" Zhao Ling suddenly fainted, "Did you say that it was good to invite me to dinner?" I didn't take the initiative to mention it, who still cares about your small stall meal? ”
"Alright, alright! I'll settle accounts with you later! Now let's talk about the guys inside. Wang Cannon pointed inside, "Are they really Adidas?" ”
Zhao Ling nodded, "Didn't I suspect that they were liars at first?" So I looked into it, and it was true. ”
"Investigation? How do you investigate? Wang Dacang looked at Zhao Ling with a suspicious look.
"It's very simple, call Adidas's American customer service and ask if there is anyone like them?" Zhao Ling said.
Wang Cannon: ""
1 minute later.
"I'm sorry, we're back, let's continue with the topic we just talked about." Wang Cannon pulled Zhao Ling and walked in with a smile on his face, and said to Jack: "There is no problem with the problems you just mentioned, I think we can negotiate the next step, such as the sponsorship money."
"Okay, no problem." Jack nodded and said: "Our company is ready to sign a six-year sneaker contract with Mr. Wang Dacang, during which Mr. Wang Dacang's sneakers will be responsible for our company, and at the same time, our company will also pay Mr. Wang Dacang a total of 20 million US dollars in sponsorship fees, what do you think?" ”
"Two million dollars?" Wang Cannon was stunned by this huge number at first, but then he reacted, "Wait! You mean 20 million in total? ”
Jack nodded, "That's right, it's twenty million for six years." ”
Wang Dacang's heart was originally excited, and he immediately stabilized, Damn, I thought it was a big contract.
Although I don't know much about this aspect, Wang Cannon also knows the basic market, big names like Kobe Bryant and James, the sneaker contract is more than 10 million a year, but I didn't expect that I was 20 million in six years, so calculated, my one-year sneaker contract is only about 3 million, which is not much at all.
Looking back at Zhao Ling, Wang Dacang was startled, and at this time, Zhao Ling's eyes had turned into beautiful knives.
"Holy! Poor and crazy! Zhao Ling was dismissed, and Wang Cannon shook his head slowly.
"Mr. Jack, this contract you offered, I think it seems a bit small in terms of sponsorship."
"Less? Not a lot. Jack also shook his head and said with a professional smile: "Twenty million for six years, this price contract is also a big contract in the league, this year's champion Wall chose Reebok to provide Champion Lang with a five-year 25 million contract, and stars like the league, such as Howard, and Paul, their sneaker contracts are also similar prices." Howard signed a six-year, $36 million sneaker contract, while Paul signed a six-year contract with the Nike Jordan series for only six years and $24 million. ”
This large number of words directly confused Wang Cannon, and he really didn't know that Howard and Paul's sneaker contract was so cheap.
"And you also know that although you are hot in the league now, after all, you are not a superstar in the league like James and Kobe, and we can't guarantee whether you can play a superstar in the future, and I hope you can understand this."
"This" Wang Cannon immediately hesitated. More than three million is more than three million, at least better than nothing, right?
At this time, Zhao Ling, who had been silent, spoke.
"But Mr. Jack, you should also consider one issue, that is, the advantages of Wang Cannon's identity as a Chinese. China has a huge market, and Wang Dacang, as a native of China, has an innate advantage in this regard. Zhao Ling was like a god possessed at the moment, and she talked eloquently in the face of Jack, who was wearing a very solemn suit, "If Wang Cannon endorses Adidas' series of products, I think the sales in China will be extremely objective, which is incomparable to American players." ”
"That's true, but there are other factors that we need to consider." Jack seemed to be prepared, he said unhurriedly: "Nike once signed a sneaker contract with Yi Jianlian, who just joined the league, but now Yi Jianlian's results in the NBA are not ideal, Nike endorsed Yi Jianlian's sneakers in addition to the sales in China are okay, the sales in other countries are pitiful, we can't be sure whether Mr. Wang Dacang can become the second Yao Ming, or become the second Yi Jianlian, so we must be cautious." ”
"Why don't you do it! I have a great idea! Listening to Jack's long talk, and even led to the examples of two Chinese players, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, Wang Dacang's mind suddenly flashed and he thought of an excellent idea.
(ps: Hey, the festival is gone, there is no way to fulfill the promise, and talking doesn't count and slapping yourself in the face naked.) But I think it's still necessary to explain why, and now that the novel writes, I find that I've hit a plateau. Many people say that when the novel is written with 200,000 words, it is a hurdle, but I didn't believe it before, but I didn't expect it to be true. After writing 200,000 words, the passion I had when I created the novel was basically exhausted, and it was then that I realized the consequences of being too lazy and not designing the outline properly. Now although the general direction of the novel is still there, but the specific story and the cool points that can be seen by the audience have been used up, this situation is commonly known as the poor skills of the donkey, these two days I have been working hard to enrich the outline, fill in the plot, and increase the contradiction of the story in order to make me last longer, after all, after losing my passion for the work, I really can't read the things that come out, and I have deleted several chapters of the chapters.
Having said so much, it's actually all boring nonsense, and it's already broken anyway, so let's spray me as much as you want, and you can continue to read my novels anyway. )
