258, renewal of the contract with sneakers
In October, the preseason of the 05~06 season has been in full swing, and 30 teams in the league are using this opportunity to conduct final training.
Although Wu Di is in Toronto, he did not participate in the team's training camp, let alone play in the preseason for the Raptors.
Some people feel that Wu Di's current injury may still not be particularly optimistic. Therefore, he is cautious in the comeback.
However, the fact is that Wu Di did not report to the Raptors because of his injury, but he has been entangled in a lot of things, which makes it difficult for him to immediately shift all his energy to basketball.
What gave Wu Di a headache was the issue of renewing his contract with the Raptors, which he desperately wanted to solve.
Because the shares of the Raptors themselves are held by Wu Di, how much salary to get is just a formality. Of course, considering the team's profitability and future squad, Wu Di felt that it was best to keep the renewal salary to a minimum.
However, the league originally formulated the Wu Di clause, so the contract extension is not something that Wu Di and the Raptors can decide unilaterally.
So, after the matter of Longxiang Company came to an end temporarily, Wu Di, accompanied by Hunter Thomas, went to the general manager's office of the Air Canada Center Arena.
When walking through the long corridor, Wu Di's eyes couldn't help but light up, because he heard the noise coming from the stadium, and the mixed whistle made Wu Di understand that there should be a preseason game going on here.
After pushing open the door of the general manager's office, there were several people waiting at the round table.
Wu Di smiled slightly, and sat on the main seat very casually.
Sitting here are all his henchmen, so he has nothing to shy away from.
"Sister. How's the renewal going? Wu Di looked at his sister Wu Jiao, who was sitting in the main seat opposite.
Wu Jiao replied: "The alliance doesn't have any intention to reveal this matter. So it's hard to guess what those guys think. I think we have to get the amount of the contract renewal right now, and try to get it all at once. Otherwise, when you come back to playing, I'm afraid there will be more accidents. ”
Wu Di couldn't stop nodding when he heard this. As Wu Jiao said, the renewal of the contract has actually been delayed, and now that the new season is about to start, this matter obviously cannot be delayed any longer.
Because the good video of Wu Dihui circulating in the outside world has made the league management pay attention. So now the renewal can only be said to be very necessary.
Of course, unless Wu Di is not worried about the team's lack of salary space in the future because of his savings, it doesn't matter how much the contract extension is.
However, for Wu Di, who is committed to building the Raptors into a championship team, this contract extension will obviously allow the Raptors to have enough salary space to operate in the coming year.
Therefore, Wu Di hopes to keep this contract renewal to a minimum.
"What is the state of your discussions? How much salary can be paid? Wu Di asked.
When Wu Jiao heard this, she shook her head, obviously she didn't know how much was the bottom line of the alliance.
At this time, a middle-aged black man smiled, "I think so." If the team touches up Wu's injury a little, then this contract renewal may be much easier. When the outside world thinks. Although Wu recovered, he still suffered a lot of damage, and in that case, Wu's value would naturally drop too much. In that case, I think the annual salary of 1000W~1200W is enough to pass the Guò Alliance. ”
Hunter Thomas frowned at this time and said: "Isn't this a bit low, after all, Wu can renew the contract with the highest salary." ”
The middle-aged black man suddenly interrupted Hunter Thomas's words, and he said, "That's a healthy Wu, and now Wu is a sick person, don't forget that." ”
Hunter Thomas said, "But Wu doesn't have any major problems anymore, he only needs to cultivate for a short period of time to be able to fully recover." ”
The middle-aged black man laughed, "That's just a few of us here who know." The outside world still doesn't know anything about Wu's injury, so it's very easy for us to do an article. ”
Obviously, Hunter Thomas's basis was mainly Wu Di's secret medical examination a few days ago, which showed that Wu Di's knee was almost completely recovered, which once made everyone present feel incredible.
Seeing the two arguing, Wu Di couldn't help but say loudly: "Charles, Hunter, you stop first." Kindness...... I think I can do what Charles said, just an annual salary of 1000w, and in addition, let out the wind that my knee still needs to rest, and temporarily postpone the comeback time to mid-November. ”
Wu Jiao said softly: "Is 1000w a little low?" It shouldn't be easy to get through. ”
Wu Jiao's voice fell, and Hunter also nodded in agreement.
However, Wu Di smiled slightly, looked at Charles Oakley who was sitting on the side, and said quite confidently: "If I come back now, then the entire contract renewal will definitely not pass." But if I push the return date to mid-November, then the outcome may be uncertain. ”
After a pause, Wu Di said, "Okay, that's it." Hunter, sister, you guys put the matter of renewing the contract in order and submit it to the alliance as much as possible. Also, Charles, what's going on with that team crest? ”
Charles Oakley smiled: "It's already been rectified, it should be able to be done in a few days, the team emblem is easy to make, after all, that pattern is quite simple." ”
Wu Di nodded and said, "Well, okay." You should do your best to submit the designed team logo to the league for approval, and strive to change the jersey and floor pattern at the beginning of the new season. ”
Oakley also nodded when he heard this.
Speaking of Charles Oakley, I have to say that this guy and Wu Di have become old friends.
At the beginning of last month, Wu Di recommended Wu Jiao to get Charles Oakley to the management of the Raptors, and now, he and Hunter can be said to be Wu Di's henchmen.
Wu Jiao didn't seem to have any opinion on Wu Di's decision, so she immediately called and informed the staff to start drafting the contract documents.
This approach made Wu Di quite satisfied. I have to say. Wu Jiao still gives him face. At this time, he was allowed to be the master of the house in private.
Subsequently. Several people discussed other things about the team, such as player changes and signing issues, and Wu Jiao let Wu Di decide. However, Wu Di didn't know much about the current Raptors' lineup, so he handed over the decision to Wu Jiao.
After almost an hour of discussion, the matter about the Raptors was almost settled.
When Wu Jiao and Charles Oakley went out to do their own work, Wu Di and his college alumni agent Hunter Thomas were temporarily left in the office.
"Wu, there's a sneaker contract, you said we should think about it."
Wu Di asked in surprise: "What sneaker contract?" ”
Hunter Thomas said: "It was some time ago. A sports brand in China wants to ask you to endorse sneakers, and I've been discussing with them for a while, and the contract is about the same, but you still need to decide. ”
Wu Di also remembered that the two-year sneaker contract he signed at the beginning had long passed, and now he should sign another one, but he suddenly hesitated: "The situation I'm in now seems to be not a good time to sign a contract." ”
Hunter Thomas shook his head and smiled, "No, no, Wu, it's the opposite. That sports brand is desperate to sign you to a sneaker contract. And it was the offer made by the owner of this brand himself. It is important that he makes an offer based on the criteria of a healthy you. I think it's good, so I'd like to see what you think. ”
"What brand?"
Wu Di was a little surprised, which brand was so generous that it wanted to sign a sneaker contract with him who was injured.
Hunter Thomas said: "It is a sports brand in Chinese mainland, called LINING." He is owned by the gymnastics legend of your country. ”
When Wu Di heard this, he instantly understood it. This brand is doing well in China at present, with a history of nearly 20 years, which can be said to have great potential.
After a little thought, Wu Di nodded and said: "Well, then this matter will be handed over to you, but I don't want to sign a too long sneaker contract, this one will be temporarily 3~5 years, preferably shorter." ”
Hunter nodded excitedly when he heard this, and then left.
……
The preseason is in full swing, and Chinese fans are keeping an eye on the Raptors at all times.
I have to say that CMLW's live broadcast is very powerful, almost every week there will be 2~3 preseason live broadcasts, which makes fans very excited.
Most people are still concerned about Wu Di, and they are looking forward to knowing the latest situation of Wu Di.
When the time came to October 22, the Raptors officially said that Wu Di's knee still needed to be repaired, so Wu Di's comeback time was temporarily postponed to mid-November.
After learning the news, domestic fans couldn't help but be a little worried, they really hoped that Wu Di could fully recover, but it didn't seem to be so easy.
Just a few days after the official news of the Raptors was announced, the Raptors officially released another news that everyone couldn't help but discuss, 3 years 3000w successfully renewed Wu Di, and this renewal contract was approved by the league.
A lot of people are talking about whether this renewal contract is low or high? After all, if Wu Di hadn't been injured, he would have been able to get the highest salary to renew his contract.
In this kind of discussion, news about the Raptors and Wu Di also appeared one after another.
After the contract renewal, the Raptors announced the new team emblem of the team, and the team emblem became a simple pattern of C-shaped Chinese dragons, which instantly caused a wave of enthusiasm in China, and fans said that this approach was too powerful.
The last piece of news is about Wu Di, which also shocked the country and even the United States.
"On October 27, Wu Di, who plays for the Toronto Raptors, chose to sign a three-year sneaker contract with Lining, with a specific contract amount of 4800w for three years."
The 4800w sneaker contract, and it was only three years, for a while, this made everyone think that lining was crazy enough to dare to give such a contract to an injured player. (To be continued......)
PS: The state is so bad, ask for a monthly pass to stimulate it, woo woo woo~
