God of NBA point guards

Chapter 76 Signed sneaker contract?

This afternoon, Roger Philip's office in Los Angeles.

"Ding ding ding..."

"Hello, this is Roger Philip's phone number."

"Hello, Mr. Philip, I am..."

The phone rang, and he got a call from Mark Nathan, the president of Skechers, and the two talked on the phone.

"what?"

After hearing Mark Nathan's words, he was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Mark Nathan on the opposite side said: "Yes, Mr. Philip, you heard it right, we will send Zhou Quan a signature sneaker contract with a five-year term and $200 million per year.

Of course, the contract amount will include some additional reward conditions, which need to be negotiated, I think you should understand.

I hope that you and Mr. Zhou Quan can carefully consider our contract. We are very optimistic about his future and hope to start our formal negotiations as soon as possible. "

"Okay okay."

After hanging up the phone, Philip waved his fist excitedly, wishing to notify Zhou Quan immediately.

He never thought that a company that had just been established would be willing to offer Zhou Quan a signature sneaker contract, which is unbelievable.

As far as he knows, Nike is currently negotiating with Shaquille O'Neal, the number one pick in the draft. According to related news, Nike is not willing to give Shaquille O'Neal a signature sneaker contract, and the negotiations between the two parties are not going well.

But now, Zhou Quan has such an opportunity, and the contract is not too small, 1000 million US dollars for five years, definitely a big contract.

……

The Pistons have not played in the past two days, and Zhou Quan is resting at home, but the daily strength training is uninterrupted.

"week."

"Rogge? Oh, you didn't even notify me. What happened? Come in."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Philip rushed to Detroit from Los Angeles, and went directly to the private training room rented by Zhou Quan, which surprised him.

"Hughes, hello."

"Hello, Roger."

After Philip came in, he greeted the trainer Swildon.

"I have a special surprise for you."

The training room was very simple, and Swildon helped bring a chair over. After Philip sat down, he smiled and said, "Guess what it is?"

Zhou Quan brought Philip a bottle of water, turned his head, and said with a smile, "Is there any good news about the sneaker contract? Is there a company willing to give me a cash contract for exclusive sneakers?"

Philip closed his smile and said with a wry smile: "You are just too smart, which makes me feel very unfulfilled."

Having said that, an excited smile appeared on his face again, and said with a smile: "But Zhou, you guessed wrong, it's not a cash contract."

"What? Impossible." Zhou Quan was dumbfounded.

On top of the cash contract, there is only a signature sneaker contract, but is that possible?

"You guessed it right, it's the signature sneakers. Are you excited? Haha!" Philip smiled excitedly.

"what?"

Swildon was shocked on one side.

Zhou Quan was similar, muttering: "Are they crazy?"

Philip took a big sip of water, then said with a smile: "The other companies have not changed much, you should know that, they are only willing to give an ordinary cash contract.

But Skechers was willing to give you a cash contract for exclusive sneakers before, you know that.But this time they gave us a surprise, a big surprise, after your game with Jordan, they contacted me immediately yesterday, hoping to start formal negotiations. "

"Rogge, how big is the contract?" Zhou Quan asked excitedly.

"Five years, that's a lot."

Putting down the water bottle, Philip raised his right index finger, with a look of mystery and excitement, and added: "This is just an opening price, and we should be able to continue the negotiation."

"One million dollars?" Swildon next to him looked envious.

Hearing the figure of 100 million US dollars, Philip immediately looked disgusted and gave Swildon a blank look.

"1000 million? Hiss!"

Swildon almost bit his tongue.

"How could such a big contract be possible?"

The same is true for Zhou Quan. He never imagined that one day a sneaker company would offer him such a contract.

Philip said excitedly: "They made a bet. Nike bet on Michael Jordan, but Adidas didn't dare to bet, so Nike won.

Now Skechers is betting on you because you led the team to overthrow Jordan's Bulls the day before yesterday. "

In fact, his guess was wrong. The reason why Skechers was willing to give such a contract was because Mark Nathan saw his strong personal style from Zhou Quan, which was the vision of a designer.

Although Zhou Quan was excited, he still asked calmly: "Rogge, what is the quality of Skechers?"

Speaking of this, Philip also calmed down and said: "At present we have no formal negotiations, everything is just verbal.

As for the quality of their sneakers, we are completely unable to consider, because they have no official products yet, and the company has just been established.

So I need to visit their companies to see their R&D capabilities and their laboratory products.

They will give you some lab products to try, if the quality is not bad, Zhou, we have to sign them, this opportunity is so rare, it is almost impossible for you to get a signed sneaker contract from other companies. "

Zhou Quan couldn't help but nodded. If he didn't sign Skechers, he wanted to get a signed sneaker contract, unless he became a very influential superstar, that is, a superstar in the true sense.

Roger Philip stayed in Detroit for one night, and rushed back to Los Angeles the next day to start preparing for formal negotiations with Skechers.

……

Magic Johnson, who is actively undergoing cocktail therapy that day, accepted a telephone interview with reporters in Los Angeles. He talked about Zhou Quan

"I still pay close attention to the league and noticed the recent game between the Pistons and the Bulls. What I want to say is that the same point guard, with an iron fist of 95 kilograms, can crush any point guard in the league. He even broke through with the ball. Broke two of John Paxson's ribs.

We can completely say that he is a super-heavy point guard unique in today's NBA. In the first position, he has his own unique dislocation advantage, and he is playing in an unreasonable way.

I compared the difference between myself and him. I have absolute height in the first position, but he has an absolute advantage in strength and tonnage in the first position. I can face any point guard in the first position and have height. Dislocation advantage, and he is in a similar situation.

So what I'm really saying is, Jerry, go find a way to trade him, the Lakers deserve him, he's a native of Los Angeles, and we're missing a really good guy. "

"Ervin, obviously, Tekken will improve and his strength will become stronger and stronger, so do you have any suggestions for other point guards?" The reporter asked.

"Either practice faster speed, or only gain weight and increase confrontation ability." Magic Johnson finally said.

"Speed ​​up? Gain weight?"

Not to mention the West, almost all point guards in the entire East are in a dilemma.

Speed ​​up, talent has a ceiling, they are not Ferrari, how to mention it?
Weight gain, this also has a ceiling. Iron Fist can maintain a large tonnage without losing agility because it is a door panel body. They can't do it. If they are too heavy and have more muscles, their bodies will become stiff and lose their agility and speed.

Anyway, since then, speed-up and weight gain have become a headache for Eastern point guards, and some point guards with good height are trying to gain weight.
