Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 117 Believe Me, He's a Liar
Reid, the head of the negotiation team of the hook, made an appointment with Snoopy many times, but he was rejected. The huge Chinese market is definitely a sweet pastry.

"Mr. Snoopy, we are really sincere and hope to have an interview with Mr. Lu, is that okay?"

Fender held the phone, combed his hair, and was very elegant. This was the ninth time he called Snoopy this month to communicate and meet.

"I'm really sorry." Snoopy smiled and said, "Your offer is too low. Mr. Lu thinks you are not sincere."

"The price can be negotiated..."

"The price is one aspect. The main reason is that your sincerity is not enough. Your first quotation was 500 million US dollars for seven years. To be honest, this price is a bit humiliating."

Hooks have always been this virtue, and they like to use low prices to test their quotations. Lu Yu remembers that the quotation they gave Yao Ming was only 160 million US dollars for four years. It seemed that he was worth a little more than Yao Ming.

"It must be that our marketing department made a mistake. I revised the quotation later, 3000 million in seven years. I think Mr. Lu should be satisfied with this price."

"No, Mr. Lu has already negotiated a price with another brand."

"Another brand?"

"That's right." Snoopy laughed.

Reed frowned. He had inquired about it, and the three-bar side was only willing to offer this price, so his offer was overwhelmed by the other party. Could it be Reebok?

"Mr. Snoopy, I hope you can give me a chance. I just want to meet Mr. Lu."

"You... make me very embarrassed..."

"You don't need to be too embarrassed, you only need to provide a little information, we will not betray you, of course, I will transfer the information fee to your private account."

As soon as Reed heard it, he felt that there was a drama, and immediately threw out the killer.

"Well then, Lu Yu will meet the brand party at the Spokane Hotel tonight. I hope your talks go well."

Snoopy put down the phone and recalled Lu Yu's way of making him keep hooking the negotiating team during this time, almost the same as when he was fishing for "Sport" magazine.

Lu Yu is a fishing expert!
He took out his phone, edited a text message from his account, and sent it to Reed.

Then he sent another text message to Lu Yu.

"The hooker is hooked."

……

Night fell gradually.

After Lu Yu helped Lao Lu straighten out the restaurant's dishes, he dragged Yi Jianlian, who was wiping the table beside him, to the side of the small electric motorcycle and said, "Get in the car."

"Where?"

"Take you to eat something delicious, a big meal." Lu Yu smiled at him and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll talk on the road first."

Yi Jianlian sat up suspiciously, still a little uneasy in his heart. The small electric motorcycle was driving quickly on the road in Spokane. In fact, Lu Yu didn't think about buying a car, but now there are too many places to spend money, magazines There is still arrears over there, and the domestic sports media have not reached out. On the surface, Lu Yu's "Sport" magazine has made millions of dollars in the past two months, but when it comes time to spend the money, all the money is gone. Not enough to jam the teeth.

When he got to the hotel, Ding Shizhong was waiting downstairs and was slightly surprised to see Lu Yu riding a motorcycle with a person in the back seat.

"Mr. Ding, long time no see."

"I just came too."

"Let's go in and sit, it's not very convenient outside."

"I was negligent, please come in."

Yi Jianlian was a little embarrassed to stand aside. He couldn't figure out how Lu Yu, a basketball player, could handle this kind of business situation with ease. If it were him, he would definitely be confused.

"You two, please sit down, this is..." Ding Shizhong didn't ignore Yi Jianlian when he got to the box, and immediately asked.

"Yi Jianlian will play at Gonzaga next year."

Lu Yu didn't say much. After he finished speaking, he closed his mouth, looked at his nose and his heart, and just smiled casually. He saw light coming out of Ding Shizhong's eyes.

"Today is for us to get together, don't be restrained." Ding Shizhong saw Yi Jianlian's nervousness and said with a smile: "Since Xiaoyi is Lu Yu's friend, then he will be my Ding Shizhong's friend in the future, I almost forgot to introduce myself, my name is Ding Shizhong is the general manager of Anta Group."

Yi Jianlian was stunned for a moment, then responded and said, "Hello, Mr. Ding."

Anta Group is one of the top sports brands in China. He looked at Lu Yu and Ding Shizhong, and seemed to guess what they were talking about.

The three of them chatted, neither Lu Yu nor Ding Shizhong mentioned the sneaker contract, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was very active under the reconciliation of Ding Shizhong.

After three rounds of wine...well, there is no wine, but the food has passed the five flavors.

Ding Shizhong finally said: "Lu Yu, there is actually one more thing about this visit, that is, I want to talk to you about the price of the sneaker contract..."

Lu Yu smiled, didn't speak, just looked at Ding Shizhong quietly.

Ding Shizhong was a little embarrassed and said with a light cough: "I'm very grateful that you agreed to endorse the Anta brand before. This is the signing agreement we took out. Take a look."

He solemnly took out a document from the black bag on the side.

This document was discussed within the company for two months, and the price was finally finalized.

Lu Yu took it over and turned it over.

"The price is $3000 million over seven years..."

He has inquired about Lu Yu's current market price. Even if Lu Yu has not officially played an NBA game, sports brands have already evaluated Lu Yu's market.

Around $400 million a year.

This price is very fair, and there is no wanton price reduction just because Lu Yu had a verbal agreement with them.

Lu Yu closed the document, took a sip of water from his water glass, and Yi Jianlian who was beside him was already dumbfounded. How much is 3000 million US dollars?

"Mr. Ding, can't you be a white wolf with empty gloves?" Lu Yu put down his water glass and smiled slightly: "I checked, Anta's revenue last year was only 400 million, which is not US dollars, and you signed Kong Linghui and spent 80. CCTV’s advertisement cost 300 million, where did you get 3000 million?”

Anta's annual revenue is less than one-tenth of this contract.

I don't know whether to say Ding Shizhong is bold or Lu Yu is bold.

Yi Jianlian clenched his fists secretly. In his opinion, Ding Shizhong in front of him was suspected of being a liar.

"3000 million is not a one-time payment..."

Ding Shizhong smiled awkwardly: "But don't worry, I am very confident in our company's operation, and I have raised the endorsement fee for the first year, and there will never be a default in the endorsement fee."

Before he finished speaking, the door of the box was pushed open.

Reed, who was combing his delicately parted hair, strode in, and the first thing he said was: "Mr. Lu, do you believe that a company with a revenue of only a few hundred thousand dollars will give you a contract worth 3000 million dollars?" ?”

Lu Yu looked at Reed pretending to be puzzled: "Who are you?"

"I'm sorry to interrupt your banquet. I'm the negotiator of Nike. You can call me Reid. We have also prepared an offer for Mr. Lu. The price is also 3000 million US dollars for seven years, but it is different from this company. Yes, we're Nike, and we can afford to pay that."

Reed raised his chin and looked at Ding Shizhong with contempt.

"Trust me, he's a liar."

　Thank you for your reward!Ding Shizhong is a very daring and fat person. They were very bold back then... This time it was another person who lent him money, and there is another story...
