God of NBA point guards

Chapter 80 All-Star + Sign the Contract

"Snapped!"

Catherine raised her head and kissed Zhou Quan, then rolled her eyes again: "It's a good idea."

"Okay, Catherine, don't talk crazy, you can think about having children after ten years. But if it's true, it can only mean that your boyfriend's potential is valued by that company, very optimistic about it."

"Zhou, I'm going to take advantage of your popularity. Your agent said that you are a little famous now, so you don't want to do it for nothing." Catherine put down the phone and said to Zhou Quan helplessly.

"Haha, Duo Cheng thinks highly of me, so let's go, let's go outside to meet the media." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"First explain what a signature sneaker contract is." Catherine said.

"It's my sneaker brand." Zhou Quan said simply.

"Wow, dear, you want to have your own brand?" Catherine said enviously.

Zhou Quan pinched the girl's little face, and said with a smile: "You are so beautiful, you will definitely become famous in Hollywood in the future, and you will also have your own brand."

"I hope you are right."

Catherine gave a kiss happily.

The two then went outside the community hand in hand, but were stopped by several reporters.

"Tekken, is this your girlfriend? She's so beautiful!"

"Tekken, your girlfriend is so beautiful, what's her name? Is she a celebrity?"

Several reporters asked while taking pictures.

"Her name is Catherine Zeta Jones. She is a dancer from the UK and a film actor. She has made a French film "The Magic Lamp of Beauty". This time she is coming to the United States to develop in Hollywood." He introduced.

"Crack, click..." The reporters snapped.

"Help me take better pictures." He hastily urged.

"Don't worry, Iron Fist, your girlfriend is so beautiful and has a good face shape, she must be very photogenic, no matter how you shoot it, it will be fine."

A reporter laughed.

In the evening, the two arrived in Los Angeles, Roger Philip picked up the plane, and Catherine's agent, George Freeman, was also there.

Freeman was Catherine's agent in England, and followed her from Wales all the way to the United States, and was very trusted.

The two each introduced their agents, and the four left the airport.

Zhou Quan didn't stay in a hotel, but directly stayed in Catherine's home in Los Angeles.

……

On the 9th, the All-Star Game Day.

At 9 a.m., he and Philip went to Skechers to meet with Mark Nathan and the management of the company, and to visit the company.

His signature sneaker contract is still 5 million US dollars for 1000 years, with three incentive conditions attached. The first two years of the contract are unconditionally executed, and whether the next three years of the contract is executed, all the incentive conditions must be fulfilled.

These three conditions are: to enter the All-Star in the two seasons after the signing, the best rookie, and the sales of sneakers in the two years after the signing are not less than 800 million US dollars.

During the negotiations during this period, Philip mainly focused on these three conditions, followed by the contract amount.

Especially the third condition, the sales of 800 million US dollars took him a lot of effort to negotiate.

At the beginning, Skechers called out 1500 million annual sales, almost 8 times the annual endorsement fee, but he cut it down to 4 times, and it can no longer be cut down.

Skechers drafted this payment because Jordan's first contract with Nike also had this reward clause.

At the beginning, Nike gave Jordan a contract of 5 million for 250 years, 50 a year, and annual sales of 400 million US dollars, which is exactly 8 times, which can guarantee that Nike will not lose money.

But Skechers president Mark Nathan considered Zhou Quan's point guard status, not as popular as Jordan's shooting guard, and he planned to take a gamble, so the conditions could not be too harsh, so he agreed to the $800 million offer. Sales Amount.

Philip estimated that a pair of sneakers cost a few dollars in 84, and now ordinary basketball shoes cost about 800 dollars, and the sales of 30 million would cost about [-] pairs of sneakers.

There are currently about 100 million people in Detroit. With Zhou Quan's current popularity in Detroit, it is a bit difficult, but adding other cities, it is not an impossible task.

At 10 am, at the Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, Skechers invited some media and held a signing conference.

"Is this fledgling company crazy?"

"Although Iron Fist is famous, it's not even an All-Star. This company is crazy, and dare to spend a lot of money on Iron Fist."

When the news was announced, the media was in an uproar.

"Crack clap..."

Witnessed by the media, Mark Nathan and Zhou Quan signed their names on the contract, and the contract was officially completed.

The interview session begins.

A local reporter asked excitedly: "Mr. Nathan, your company has just been established, why did you choose Tekken to be your signature star?
Although he does have a certain popularity now, it is because of the violence, not because of his strength, he is not even an All-Star substitute.

Even in the Los Angeles area, he's just a bit of a celebrity in the NCAA's No. [-] executioner, and he can't help your company. "

Mark Nathan shook his head and said: "That's your cognition, just as the world we see with our vision is different, so the future we see is also different.

You don't think he can help the company, but I think he can, he has a future that you can't see, I'm sure of that. "

"Mr. Nathan, when Nike bet on Michael Jordan, they won the bet. Now do you think you are betting on Iron Fist? How likely do you think it is to win?" the next reporter asked.

Mark Nathan said: "It is undeniable that there is indeed a bit of gambling. Although I think he can help the company, and I am sure that his future is promising, but the future is also very uncertain.

You go to ask if Nike was sure to win the bet back then, no, if they did, they would not add those three subsidiary conditions to the contract.Likewise, we are the same now.

However, because of the uncertainty of the future, I am very excited to sign today, because we have the potential to create a successful and exciting future. "

After this question ended, another reporter immediately said: "Mr. Nathan, I want to remind you that Iron Fist and Jordan are already sworn enemies. They are both guards and they are both in the Eastern Conference. He will face the most powerful and terrifying competitive pressure." , From the stadium to commercial competition, their competition will be everywhere.

From the analysis of the current strength, qualifications, and social status of both parties, Iron Fist is the one being crushed.So, how do you secure your investment? "

"You are right. The current Iron Fist is far inferior to Jordan in terms of personal strength, status in the NBA, commercial value, and social status. It is not even comparable."

Mark Nathan couldn't help laughing, and said: "So, like Nike, we added three subsidiary conditions to the contract, which can basically ensure that our investment will not cause major problems. Yes, we have established Stop loss line."
