"You know, I'm also a valuable person now, and it's impossible to endorse casually, because my endorsement fee is very expensive......"

"I'll give you a price that satisfies you, and it's definitely not comparable to the damn Adidas and Reebok."

"How much?"

"Talking about money, I said that the price I gave you can make you satisfied."

"What is the price of that, if you don't give me money, will you give me a house or a luxury car? Forget about the beauty, I'm not very good at this. ”

"I can give you a stake in the company, how about twenty percent?"

"Give me shares? How much is a twenty percent stake worth? What are the annual dividends? What is the current champion market cap? By the way, I still don't know who the current champion boss is? Who is it? Isn't it Steve Jobs? ”

"Hehe, that, the current champion boss is my ......"

"Dig a slot, are you kidding me, uncle?"

"Of course not, if you think this part of the stake is a bit small, then I can increase it, twenty-five percent is good, right?"

"I just want to know how much property you have now, you have been so awesome at Nike, Adidas, Reebok, and ABCD training camp, it's okay to have assets of more than 100 million, right? So how much is the champion worth now? Don't fool me, I've studied economics on my own, and I know everything about the NASDAQ and the like. ”

"Now that the family property is only 100,000, do you think the ABCD training camp is charged? Shit, that's a charity training camp, just to encourage kids who love basketball to chase their dreams bravely! I couldn't make any money from there, but I had to put millions of dollars into it every year. ”

"What are you kidding? Do you have only 100,000 yuan? What can be the market value of the champion? Please, uncle, little brother, I am also the No. 1 center in the West now, and the endorsement fee is not 18 million, are you embarrassed to sign me? And Winnie, you speak, what are you looking at me with idiot eyes? ”

"Okay, brother, you are ruthless, I have never worked so hard at the negotiation table, then I will give you thirty percent of the shares, and now I will lose a lot of money."

"Are you struggling? I think you're having a hard time eating, right? Now we're talking about a contract, what are you going to eat? Damn, old man, take it easy, you can still eat medium-rare steak at your age? And I think your personal doctor is right, you're still quitting bars, violent Mary is expensive, you've had four fucking drinks......"

"Thirty-five percent of the shares!"

"Mr. Vaccaro, I can grant your endorsement request on behalf of Z, but we need forty-nine percent of the shares, and you can have fifty-one percent, that's our bottom line." Winnie finally interjected, she had been in a state of shock just now, she was shocked by the negotiation between the old and the young: Are you sure you are not negotiating a contract at the playing house?

"Forty-nine percent? Then I might as well do it myself, impossible, impossible! The old man wiped his mouth and didn't even eat the steak.

Winnie was not in a hurry, she looked at Vacaro and said slowly: "You know the value of Lu Dao Z, just like I know, he will become the second MJ, he is definitely capable of bringing a brand back to life." Nike can't see that, Adidas can't see this, Reebok can't see this, because they're all blind, and if you can't see it either, then we don't have to cooperate. ”

"Also, I guess you came to Z because my dad told you, right?" Seeing that Vakkaro was still going to speak, Winnie continued, domineeringly stopping Vaccaro's counterattack.

Vacaro was like a choking goldfish, he opened his mouth in vain, and then lowered his head and attacked the seafood on the table vigorously, as if there was a feud between the two sides, after eating a big lobster, he said: "Deal, you win, then I will give Z forty-nine percent of the shares!" ”

Chamberlain was a little dissatisfied, this championship is simply a fictitious thing, its production line capacity and brand awareness are not much better than the Adi Wang sneakers often sold by hawkers on the streets of Chinatown, and he does not see any hope of making money from this brand.

Don't think that there are stars endorsing sneakers will sell immediately, sneakers are mainly sold to fans, but not fanatical fans, if the quality of the shoes is poor, that is, fanatical fans will not continue to buy, at most buy two pairs of collections to support it.

Winnie looked at Chamberlain calmly and said, "Didn't you say that you'd rather choose a small brand endorsement as long as it respects me enough?" ”

Chamberlain also became a choked goldfish, and he was speechless after a few 'ah-ah-woo', and Vaccarro took a glass of water and handed it to him very considerately, "Choked, young man?" Eat slowly, anyway, you have a treat, don't worry, that contract is here, you can take a look at it and sign it, how about it? ”

Winnie examined it, this contract is a draft, it seems that the old man is determined to win this trip, and his backpack is full of draft contracts. The contract is no problem, as long as Chamberlain signs it, he will be one of the owners of the old sporting goods champions.

When Winnie nodded, Chamberlain reluctantly signed it, and he regarded it as a reward for Winnie, who helped him more than a small contract.

When Chamberlain signed, the old man slipped away without saying a word and killed the violent Mary in the cup, Chamberlain was depressed, and Winnie said, "Aren't you happy?" I understand your feelings, Z, but believe me, this old guy is a genius, he can definitely produce the best sneakers, he has all kinds of talents under his hands, as long as we join forces with you, we can copy a Nike, absolutely no problem. ”

That's all I can do, Chamberlain looks like I absolutely believe in you.

Although Winnie said that she was full of confidence in Vaccaro, she still called her dad to confirm: "What is the matter with Vaccaro and the champion?" ”

Eddie's old man began to talk on the other end of the phone, and Chamberlain found that Winnie's face was still very good at first, and as Eddie's description got better and better, but after the last mistake, I didn't know what Eddie said, and she threw the phone on the ground and broke it.

"What's wrong?" Chamberlain asked tremblingly, wondering who had made Lafayette angry.

Winnie's pretty face was blue, and she gritted her teeth and said viciously: "We were tricked, fuck, that old guy and my dad talked about your contract, and the price that my dad helped you negotiate is fifty-one percent of the shares, and you account for the big head and he is the small head!" ”

"It's only two percent, which is not much money." Chamberlain comforted Winnie, "It's okay, don't worry about it, forty-nine percent is also good, let's just wait and count the money in the future." ”

A few years later, whenever Chamberlain remembered what he had tried to persuade Winnie, he would like to slap himself twice, and it was only two percentage points, but the money—fucking that was a lot worse at that time!

January became Chamberlain's fortune month, and at the beginning of the month he talked about a sneaker endorsement, although he couldn't see the money for the time being. In the following time, Winnie successively helped him get five contracts, the amount is not small, the largest of which is from Coca-Cola, which gave him a big contract, and Chamberlain endorses Gatorade under his command, the contract is 32 million for four years, and the annual fee is 8 million.

The reason why Chamberlain was able to get this big contract was because he continued to perform hotly in January, and because of the addition of Billups, he was more aggressive on the offensive end, and he was no longer the blue-collar who only dominated the defensive end.

In January, the Warriors played 14 games and achieved a good record of 10 wins and 4 losses, which can only be described as average compared to December, but considering that now that various teams have begun to strengthen their rosters, the intensity of the game has also increased, and according to experts' predictions, they can only get seven wins.

In those fourteen games, Chamberlain averaged 20 per game. 5 points, 16. 5 rebounds and 6 blocks, judging from the data, he has completely grown into a super interior lineman, this season, he is the only player who can average 20+15 per game in a full month, and other strong players such as Garnett and Howard have not done it.

However, all of this has a close relationship with Billups, who relied on Chamberlain's excellent performance to assist from December Scene 7. 4 jumped to 12 per game average in January. 5, became the assist king in January. His cooperation with Chamberlain has changed the color of the whole league, Billups was originally a killer, and now his passing ability has been completely stimulated - just throw the ball to the hoop, and leave the rest to Chamberlain, who will definitely be able to complete it.

In addition, as of the end of January, the All-Star voting has also come to an end, and Chamberlain has become an unstoppable trend to become an All-Star starting forward, so that he will become the second player after Yao Ming to become an All-Star starter in his rookie season.

In this year's All-Star vote, there are 60 alternate players in the east and west, with a ratio of 24 guards, 24 forwards, and 12 centers, and the list of 120 alternate players is made by reporters, experts, and presenters including authoritative media such as ESPN, Sports Illustrated, USA Today, and Chicago Tribune.

Chamberlain is in the Western Conference forward group, and then thanks to the large number of Chinese fans in the world, he is second only to Yao Ming in the West, second only to Garnett, LeBron and Yao Ming in the league, ranking fourth, and it is absolutely no problem to be a starting forward.

There is a big difference between the East and the West in the roster of potential players, with the East 60 being made up entirely of veterans who have spent some time in the NBA, while the West has no shortage of rookie players such as Chamberlain and Durant.

In the East, the Bucks, who have attracted the attention of Chinese fans, have a total of four shortlisted, namely Reed, Mo Buchuan, Bogut and Villanueva, although Yi Jianlian squeezed Villanueva out of the starting lineup, but apparently did not get the recognition of media colleagues. The Celtics were the winners of the All-Star vote, with Garnett, Pierce and Gentleman Ray all having high votes and making it to the All-Star if not all of them start.

The Rockets also have four finalists, in addition to the long-awaited Yao Ming and Maddie, as well as Battier and Scola.

It is worth mentioning that Duncan ran as a center, considering the power of Yao Ming's "vote king", Shi Buddha basically missed the All-Star starter. But it doesn't matter, when he learned that Chamberlain was a forward to participate in the All-Star vote, Shi Buddha smiled helplessly: "Anyway, they are determined to be substituted, so what's the difference between the center and the forward?" ”
