Chapter 42: Bill Arrives

On the first day of the holiday, Feng Feng could finally take a day off.

I've just gotten up to give myself a day off, and I'm not going to train anymore, so I'm going to have a good rest.

An untimely voice rang out.

The call came, and it was Bill Duffy's phone at a glance.

"Hello Bill, why did you call me today?" Feng Feng answered the phone.

"Of course I'm here to congratulate you, your dunk is so exciting, it's a free-throw line dunk. Although I have seen it before, this is a free-throw line jumping dunk in the game, and the meaning is different. Bill said excitedly.

"It turns out that because of this, you will often see it in the future, this is just the beginning, you will often see such dunks in the future, so you don't have to be so surprised, otherwise after a long time, your heart will not be able to stand it." Feng Feng said confidently.

"Really? I'm looking forward to that. I'm so excited, I've forgotten what it's like to call you, do you have any requirements for endorsement contracts? Because you've been doing really well in preseason, I've been contacted with a lot of endorsement deals, so you're going to start making a lot of money. ”

"Yes, I'm still short of money now, these endorsements are too timely."

"Why are you so short of money, I haven't seen your lace news, I rented the place where you live, I rented that place, and the cost is not high. Do you have any other bad habits? "Beal has some doubts, if there are bad habits, it's over, because a lot of talented players are ruined because of bad habits.

"Oh no, I don't have any bad habits. I'm just that I want to make some investments recently, and I've found a company that I want to invest in, but I lack contacts and funds, mainly because of the problem of funds. Feng Feng and Bill talked about their thoughts one by one.

"Oh, is it? Let's start with the issue of your endorsement. Do you have any taboos or ideas? ”

Most agents think that the players with their money can become stars or players who become the main players, so they are more cautious about the endorsement of players, and the positioning of different players is different.

"The taboo of endorsements, my positioning for endorsements is relatively high-end, and I will refuse some low-end endorsements. will not choose endorsements indiscriminately because of the endorsement fee in front of them. ”

Bill nodded and said, "This is very good, your position is very good, and it is conducive to your future development." So taboo that, what's that? ”

"If there are any taboos in Yao Ming's endorsement, then there are also taboos in my endorsement, especially the endorsements of those countries, I will directly choose to refuse." Feng Feng still has some resentment in his bones.

"OK, I see, what's the matter with you today? Can I go over and have a meeting with you? There are a lot of things that can't be explained on the phone, so I think it's more appropriate for us to meet and talk about it. ”

"Okay, I've been off for the past two days, and there's nothing scheduled for today, so we can meet."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

"Xiaojin, check in in October."

"Congratulations to the host, sign in to get a box of Liuwei Dihuang Pills, produced by the system, it must be a high-quality product, with a shelf life of 100 years, and no side effects at all."

What is this system for, I gave the thermos cup before, and now I give this, this is for fear that my health will not be good in the future.

Just throw it in the system, I won't need it now anyway, but when the time comes, ask my dad, it's okay, and I'll talk about it later.

......

In the afternoon, a knock was heard at the door.

"Feng, I'm Bill, I've arrived."

Feng Feng hurriedly got up and went to open the door.

"Bill, I'm so happy, we haven't seen each other in a long time, welcome to you." Feng Feng opened his hands and gave Bill a hug.

"Me too, today I will talk to you about the endorsement contracts that I have contacted recently, all the endorsement contracts after I have ruled out your taboos. There are contracts for sneakers, drinks, catering, clothing, and so on......"

Feng Fengle blossomed, "How can there be so many endorsement contracts, aren't there very few endorsement contracts for rookies?" ”

"Let's talk about the endorsement of sneakers first, there are Nike, Adi, Jordan, the endorsement contracts of these three sneakers, but the contracts are almost the same."

"Nike's contract is $2 million for three years, Adi's contract is $3 million for four years, and Jordan's contract is also $2 million for three years, but this is an offer contract a few days ago, and I believe that if I go to talk about it again now, it will definitely be higher."

Feng Feng thought for a while, "The endorsement contract for sneakers, I think it's better to talk about it, I think I may perform better in the new season, so if I wait a little longer, the offer may increase a lot, and that is the biggest benefit." ”

"Okay, then listen to you, the endorsement contract for sneakers, I'll talk to them again, and we'll talk to them when you play for a while, the contract should increase a lot, and you will earn more."

Feng Feng thinks that after his financial empire is established in the future, he can try to establish his own sneaker brand, starting from China, if he can help the national team achieve better results, the effect will definitely be better, and if Yao Ming is invited together, it will be even better.

"As for drinks, it's Coca-Cola and Pepsi, and most of the contracts they give are about the same, both of which are $1 million for 2 years, mainly because the Celestial Empire has a huge market, which is much higher than the endorsement contracts of other rookie players."

"Both of these are fine, try to talk about it again, and if you have the chance, see if you can go higher. It just so happens that I have a script for this, and I wanted to shoot a creative commercial myself, and now you can try to talk to them, and the script for "Uncle Drew" was given to Bill. ”

(The possession of "Uncle Drew" is what Feng Feng obtained by signing in September, and he has not repeated it too much before.) )

"Okay, I'll see, this script looks good, I can go talk to them and see how it goes. In terms of dining, it's a Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles, I don't know if you'll be interested in these. ”

"Oh, as for the restaurant, I think it's better to forget it, if I develop well in the last two years, I may let my parents come to live in the beautiful country permanently, and at that time they may choose to open a restaurant, because my family is in the catering area, I am afraid that it will not be good for this in the future, so I still refuse."

"Okay, that's a pity, this contract is still not small, but if you open your own restaurant in the future, then there are still some problems with the contract of the endorsement restaurant, and I will help you refuse."

"The endorsement of clothing is that the Youngor bag of the Celestial Empire is 3 million soft girl coins for two years, and Hailan House is 3.5 million soft girl coins for two years, so it's all about the same, this one needs you to consider choosing one. There are also many situations in your country that I don't know very well, so it will be more troublesome to connect endorsements, you can try to establish your own agent team in China like Yao, which will be more convenient. ”

"This domestic broker team, forget it this year, and wait for next year or the year after next, I will consider establishing my own broker team. In the past two years, I may still need to trouble you, and now my business value is still too bad. ”

"Well, who made you my boss, then say so."

There are also some other small contracts, with a total value of less than $1 million, mainly using Feng Feng's portrait rights, which is fine.

Feng Feng also took a brief look, there was no bad brand, and it would not affect his image, so he agreed, and let Bill Duffy contact them.

"There's also the song that I asked Scarlett Johansson to sell before, you sell her the rights to use it, but if the revenue from the lyrics will be shared with you in the future, the cost of the rights is $500,000."

"Yes, but can you help me avoid taxes reasonably? I'll have a lot of money left over that way. ”

With all kinds of things, plus tax avoidance, plus commissions for Bill Duffy and the like, Feng Feng's endorsement contract this time was almost $800,000.

"What are you talking about about investment, I think I'm also very interested?"

"I want to make some investments in the next two years, and I have a few companies that are more optimistic and have not yet developed, so I want to become their angel investment, mainly Internet companies, and I am optimistic about their future development."

Because in the past two years, many Internet companies in the beautiful country have closed down, so it is very difficult for many companies to obtain angel investment.

"Internet companies, these are very risky, are you sure you want to invest in the Internet?" Bill Duffy is also not very optimistic about the current Internet companies.

"Yes, I chose these companies Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, mainly these three companies, can you help me get in touch? I'll give you the associated fees, and I think they'll be happy to get an investment when they get it. ”

"Okay, I'll help you get in touch as soon as possible, I haven't heard of these companies, it shouldn't be a particularly large company, if you invest, it should be easier to do." How much money do you have ready to invest now, and the amount of money invested is different, and the negotiations are different? ”

"At present, it is about four million US dollars, but it may be more after a while, if it is not enough, I will contact Yao Ming to see if we can invest together, and the more time goes on, I may have more money."

"Okay, I'll deal with these things first, so I won't bother you for now." Bill Duffy straightened things up and was ready to go back

After Feng Feng sent Bill away, he also began to think about some things, whether it was money or the development of basketball, it needed to be done slowly, and it could not be achieved overnight.
