Chapter 58: The Proud Naik and King Adi
At the same time that the night entered in China, Emelica ushered in a new day.
Naik Headquarters, Beaverton, Oregon.
In a conference room of 50 square meters, an emergency meeting with temporary additions is being held.
A man in a suit with a big back turned on the projector and clicked on the slides in his notebook.
On the first slide, Li Kaiming's huge headpost is impressive.
The man in the suit cleared his throat and began to say, "The leader has temporarily added a task to us to evaluate the possibility of signing Li Kaiming. ”
At the conference table, a blonde man preemptively said, "I think this guy is still very promising, and he may have the opportunity to become the spokesperson of the series in the future!" ”
When everyone heard the blonde man's words, their eyes widened.
A red-haired woman with glasses knocked on the table and said to the blonde man, "Henry, are you expecting too much from this guy?" If you want to become the spokesperson of one of our series, you have to be a perennial All-Star or an MVP-level player, Li Kaiming didn't even enter the NBA, and it's too early to make a conclusion. ”
As soon as the red-haired woman's voice fell, most of the people in the room nodded in agreement.
Henry looked around at everyone in the conference room with a serious expression on his face, "Guys, I'm not joking with you, my understanding of basketball is the deepest of all the people in this room, and I can never be wrong about people!" ”
The man in the suit interjected, "Henry, you see that people do have a set, but we are a sports company, not an NBA team, what we want to do is to dig out the commercial value of a player, not to see if he can have a successful career!" ”
Henry turned his head to stare at the man in the suit, "Carl, if you look at the discussion of Li Kaiming on the Internet now, do you think he will be a player without hot spots?" ”
Everyone in the room fell silent.
Yes, two games in a row, playing 30+10 performances, coupled with the gimmick of the following grams and dark horses, Li Kaiming is undoubtedly the hottest among the current NCAA players, and there is no one!
Karl, the man in the suit, also did not back down at all, "Henry, what we need is a player who has been extremely popular after entering the NBA, not a college player, do you understand?" ”
Henry shook his head, "Most All-Star and Hall of Fame players were successful college or high school players before they entered the league, and when you signed LeBron James, how did you not doubt that a high school student could play well in the NBA?" ”
Carl was stunned, yes, even James, one of the hottest superstars in the league now, signed a sky-high endorsement contract with Naike in the first year of entering the league.
But he still shook his head, "Henry, he's not LeBron......"
Henry was just about to refute, but the red-haired woman from before suddenly interjected again, "Henry, don't forget, this guy's Achilles tendon has been ruptured, considering this factor, I think we should lower his endorsement level!" ”
As soon as the red-haired woman's reason came out, the audience instantly fell silent!
Everyone made a decision in this instant!
Originally, under Henry's strong persuasion, there were still a few people who wavered, but as soon as the red-haired woman's words came out, these people immediately fell to the opposite side.
It's not that Henry's reasons aren't good enough, it's that the redhead woman's reasons are too hard!
This group of them is a specially organized team of Naike to evaluate the contracted players, all of whom are the elite of the elite in the field of basketball commercialization, and naturally know what a ruptured Achilles tendon means to a professional athlete!
Even Henry himself, who was still arguing with reason before, had to sigh helplessly after hearing this reason, and then spread his hands and said, "Okay, but in this case, Li Kaiming may not agree to our conditions......"
Before he could finish his sentence, the red-haired woman sneered, "Please, Henry, we're Naik, Naik!" All the players in the world want to sign with us, and all the professional athletes are proud to sign with us, how can there be a fool who doesn't sign with Nike and turns around to sign for another company? ”
Carl, the man in the suit, also smiled confidently, "Yes, Henry, your worries are unnecessary, I believe that Li Kaiming is a sensible person, and he who knows the times is Junjie." ”
Immediately, he clapped his hands, "That's all for today's meeting, and the matter of contacting Li Kaiming will be handed over to ......."
His eyes circled along the conference table, and finally his gaze fell on Henry, "Henry, it's you!" Go talk to Li Kaiming! ”
Hyung pointed his finger at himself, "Me? So what if Li Kaiming doesn't agree to our contract? ”
The man in the suit didn't look back and said, "Then let him stay where it's cool!" ”
Naike Company is extremely domineering!
Meanwhile, also in Oregon, but at the Adi King headquarters in Portland.
Their player evaluation group has reached the same level of recognition as Naike.
Li Kaiming, you can sign it, but you can only sign the lowest level of contract, if he doesn't agree, then don't sign it.
The two largest sporting goods companies in the world did not leave any room for Li Kaiming to bargain, and the so-called negotiation was actually more like a notice and a kind of pity.
Our two big companies want to sign you as a little shrimp, and you are still not grateful to Dade, and you still want to bargain? You think beautifully! If you don't want to sign, get out!
At this time, Li Kaiming was holding a cup of steaming coffee, sitting at a table, and opposite him was his beautiful agent-Monica.
Monica also had a cappuccino in front of her, but instead of drinking it, she focused on the papers in her hand.
Neither of them spoke, and in the silent space, there was only the sound of Li Kaiming drinking coffee and the rustle of Monica turning pages from time to time.
In the middle of the night, Monica turned the last page of the document, put it on the table, and then couldn't wait to take a sip of coffee!
She wanted to drink it for a long time, but the guy opposite was there, and she was embarrassed to put down her business, so as soon as she finished reading the document, she picked up the cappuccino in front of her.
In the mouth, there is a strong aroma of coffee......
Li Kaiming smiled, put down the cup and said, "How about it, in my opinion, there is no problem with this letter of intent." ”
It turned out that what Monica was holding was the letter of intent for cooperation with Hongxin Erke brought by Jiang Shan.
Monica swallowed a sip of coffee and pursed her pink lips, "There is nothing wrong with this plan in general, it's just ......"
Hearing Monica say that there was no problem, Li Kaiming's heart was also a lot easier, but when he heard the turn in the former's mouth, his heart rose high again!
"Just what?" He asked cautiously, muttering to himself.
Jiang Shan is very good, she shouldn't lie to me, I saved her......
Monica keenly noticed the tangled expression on Li Kaiming's face, and said with a smile, "There is no problem with the letter of intent, it's their company, isn't it a little too small?" ”
Li Kaiming was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”
Monica glanced at him, "When you sign an endorsement contract, you naturally have to give priority to large companies, such as Naike and Adi Wang, this company in China should not be large, maybe it is not a well-known company in China, you sign a contract with them, and your business value will not be improved in the slightest......"
