NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 179

but.

Anti-sarcasm is anti-sarcasm, is it really okay to be so disregarding his life?

Anyway, let him know in advance!

It made him look dumbfounded.

Simply excessive.

Ok……

Naughty is a bit naughty, but it's not a big problem. Brother Shui's lifelong code name, he reluctantly accepted.

just now.

What he couldn't understand was that even though his performance was sluggish at that time, his stats were basically stable at 20+9+4. He was a top player in the NBA, and he was unmatched in China. The real light of domestic products, why am I, Mr. Yang, still beeping at him?

Driven by strong curiosity, Xue Liancheng found Mr. Yang's Weibo.

Turned around for a while.

Finally found the statement about his data being too watery.

It's just an apology blog post, and the general content is: I didn't mean to slander or belittle Xue Liancheng. He was just telling the truth. Currently, Xue Liancheng only has breakthroughs, free throws, and three-pointers.

He said he was sorry, but he didn't mean to apologize.

In other words, everyone listen to my defense!
The number of comments on this blog post exceeded 340 million+, and almost all of them were full of scolding. I can only say that Klass is awesome.

And never look back.

Not only is this Weibo scolding, but almost every Weibo of Mr. Yang has 10 people scolding.

No matter what you say...

pitiful!

For a moment, he had serious doubts, whether Mr. Yang would be scolded for depression with such a scolding method.

But after observing, he found that this was not the case. Mr. Yang seemed to be...instead of enjoying it.

Since then, more and more blog posts have been posted. Before, I only posted one post every three to five days, or even a week. Now, I post every day, or even several posts a day.

Xue Liancheng became even more curious after reading it, it shouldn't be!
What the hell did Mr. Yang do to make fans scold him so hard?
When he was in the draft, many commentators and commentators were not very optimistic about his prospects. Even after he gained a firm foothold in the league, some people also thought that his physical condition might be just a flash in the pan, but the fans were also very tolerant and did not catch these people.

Why did Mr. Yang get scolded?

Bearing this suspicion, he watched it for a while, and even found out the video where Mr. Yang said that his data was watery, and he probably understood the ins and outs.

The reason is not difficult to understand.

It all started when Xue Liancheng was playing in the NCAA. At that time, he reached the tournament and his reputation had already spread across the country, but Mr. Yang... No, not only Mr. Yang, but almost all the famous commentators and commentators felt that his speed was slow, he couldn't jump high, he didn't have explosive power, and his physical talents were mediocre. Whether he could gain a foothold in the NBA was a problem.

When his physical test report came out, there was almost mourning. At that time, Mr. Yang did not make too radical remarks, but made many suggestions, saying that if he did not change, he would not be able to gain a foothold in the NBA.

As a result, he was slapped in the face, and he was selected with the first pick in the second round.

At this time, the fans began to trample on Mr. Yang, saying that Mr. Yang was blind and deliberately badmouthing him.

When waiting for the first show, Mr. Yang's words became sharp, saying that he could not get far by relying on force, and pointed out his four major problems.

Not only did Mr. Yang speak out, but also Su Datou and several others thought so, but they were not as straightforward as Mr. Yang.

At that time, Xue Liancheng was very angry, so he posted a Weibo, saying that he was eating delicious rice, but he was doing things like smashing bowls, which was purely animal behavior. In fact, he was insinuating not only Mr. Yang, but also several famous commentators.

This is incredible!
All of a sudden, the enthusiasm of the fans was ignited, and they began to abuse, and at the same time put Mr. Yang on the unfriendly list.

As his performance on the field became better and better, the voices scolding Mr. Yang became more and more ruthless.

When it came to the game against the Rockets, Mr. Yang might have said in a joking tone that if he made the game, he should consider retiring.

then.

He is killer.

Mr. Yang did not retire.

From this point on, everything changes.

Mr. Yang was dubbed the number one black fan and the leader of the black fan by the fans, and he was scolded every time he saw him.

Although Mr. Yang was scolded miserably, he accidentally discovered the New World and obtained the traffic code.

Since then.

As long as Mr. Yang mentions the Heat occasionally in other live broadcasts, he must not be avoided when the Heat is mentioned, and when he is commented on, basically there is nothing good to say.

This guy understands traffic, and apologized in various ways on Weibo afterwards, but he didn't have the slightest attitude of apologizing. It's still the same sentence: I'm telling the truth.

The fans couldn't bear it, so they naturally caught Mr. Yang and scolded him.

Then as his performance got better and better, and his statistics stabilized among the top stars, he gained more and more fans, and finally broke out of the circle and became the popular king of domestic sports.

And Mr. Yang naturally became the number one greeting object of his fans.

At last.

There is a saying that his data is watery.

Ok……

It is obvious that Mr. Yang has started receiving page advertisements on Weibo, so he naturally posts diligently.

In addition, the number of online viewers of Mr. Yang's live broadcasts is significantly higher than others. These online viewers are still contributed by his fans, and everyone goes in to curse people.

Not only did Mr. Yang not lose his job, but he became more and more popular with TV stations, because Mr. Yang is the guarantee of ratings.

Understand the reason why Mr. Yang is fighting with him.

He couldn't help laughing.

Mr. Yang has understood this wave of traffic, and it is impossible to stop.

and so.

The current Mr. Yang is no longer a pure basketball commentator, but a money-making machine.

of course.

Mr. Yang is not a casual hacker, but is based on facts. As his performance gets better and better, the public's position on him continues to rise.

Based on this upward position, Mr. Yang talked about his shortcomings.

For example, after he established himself in the starting lineup, people said that he should be selected as an All-Star. Mr. Yang began to sing the opposite tune, saying that there were so-and-so in the backcourt in the Eastern Conference, and Xue Liancheng was almost unlucky.

For example, after the announcement of the first round of ballots for the All-Stars, Mr. Yang no longer mentioned the All-Stars, but discussed how far Xue Liancheng is from the league's top point guard, what changes need to be made, and so on.

For example, in his sluggish three or four games, he copied Wen Horst's copywriting, saying that he only had three tricks, all of which were easy to score and moisture.

This is indeed true.

And because of this, it is even more hated by fans.

If you are pure black and say that Xue Liancheng plays like shit and is not worthy of starting, everyone will definitely think you are an idiot.

But if you say that the basis is based on the facts, wouldn't that poke the hearts of the fans?

Can the fans not scold you?

This is the source of his name Brother Shui.

Ok……

Made...

Even Mr. Yang has started to make a lot of money from him, so it is really time for him to consider endorsement.

I don't know what happened to the old father?

While thinking this way, the phone rang.

Take a closer look.

It was his old father.

After connecting.

The old father's voice came, "Xiaocheng, have you finished washing?"

Xue Liancheng: "It's on the bus, on the way to Sacramento."

Old father: "That's it. I've already negotiated several endorsement contracts. Let me tell you now."

Xue Liancheng's eyes lit up, and he really wanted to come up with something, so he hurriedly said, "Say it."

The reason why he has been refusing to negotiate endorsement issues before is that he wants to sell himself for a good price when his popularity explodes.

The timing is just right now.

this season.

He is definitely going to be an All-Star, the best rookie is definitely his, and there is no problem in the playoffs.

Now his data has infinitely approached 21+10+5, he is in the limelight, and he is the top existence in the league.

Coupled with the lore Warriors, slashing 41+20 momentum, it is indeed his peak moment.

Talking about endorsements couldn't be more appropriate now.

The old father: "Sneaker contracts, international big names, Nike gave 4800 million US dollars in seven years, Adidas 5500 million US dollars in seven years, Converse 5600 million in seven years..."

If Xue Liancheng heard of such a huge signing endorsement fee before entering the league, Xue Liancheng would definitely jump up with joy.

but now.

He did not.

Even after hearing this amount, the whole person instantly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, and his heart went cold...

so...

It's so different from what he expected!

The highest annual endorsement fee is 800 million for Converse, less than 800 million for Adidas, and less than 700 million for Nike. These endorsement fees are indeed very large.

But it is still far from the sky-high endorsement contract he imagined.

Du Xiaoshuai signed with Nike before he entered the league, 6000 million in seven years, and James signed a sky-high 9000 million in seven years when he was not in the league.

Even Yao Ming in his rookie season had a seven-year 5000 million contract with Reebok.

Now he hits the historical level data of 20+10+5, breaking the rookie single-game assist record, and the 41+20 data also breaks the rookie record. It is almost certain to enter the All-Star in the first year, and become the leader of the team, and launch a charge towards the championship.

result.

What's more, it's not as big as the endorsement contract between Du Xiaoshuai and James before entering the league, and it's about the same as Yao Ming who just entered the league.

He felt insulted.

He couldn't help interrupting the old father, "Is this the final offer?"

The old father: "This is their latest quotation, and there should be room for negotiation, but there is not much room for improvement."

Xue Liancheng asked, "What about in China?"

The old father replied, "There is more sincerity in China. Li Ning 7000 million in seven years, Reebok 7200 million in seven years, and Anta 7500 million in seven years."

Xue Liancheng finally looked better, but the amount was still a little different from what he had imagined, "Is it US dollars?"

Old father: "This child, if it's not Mei Dao, then it's fine..."

Xue Liancheng chuckled, "Please ask me clearly."

The old father sighed at this time, "I think it's still not ideal."

Xue Liancheng could no longer agree, "It's too unsatisfactory. The annual endorsement fee is only more than 1000 million. I feel that if I sign it, I will lose money!"

Sure enough, he is worthy of his old father, and he has a tacit understanding.

The performance of a rookie at the historical level is worth more than 1000 million in endorsement fees?
It is foreseeable that he will definitely be a strong contender for the league's first point guard in the future, and it is not impossible to hit 25+12+5 data.

In the end, such an offer was given, which really surprised him.

How should I put it...he should also be worth 1500 million in endorsement fees. If you add the vast domestic market, 2000 million is not a loss.

Nike gives an annual endorsement fee of less than 700 million. Isn't that insulting?
Now he wondered, what was the reason?
Why is his value so bleakly suppressed.

Is it a bad image?
There is no reason at all!
His standard handsome face is just a bit fat.

But what do sports athletes have to do with being fat?
When Fat Tiger Williams entered the NBA in 19 years, Nike gave 7500 million for five years. At this time, don't you think fat tiger is fat?
So it can be ruled out...

Worried about the injury factor?

He was injured and absent because he was pushed by the dog Sofoloza. This was an accident and should not be considered.

Or... the old father doesn't know how to lower the price?

Very possible!

The old father has been engaged in the sport of basketball all his life. If you want to ask the old father how to play and how to arrange tactics, the old father must say it clearly and logically.

I am not very proficient in how to steal money.

How could the old father have the ability to retreat under the pressure of these big brand manufacturers?
thought here.

He decided it was time to think about getting an agent or something.

After all, professional matters should be handled by professional people.

Sigh from the old father, "Alas...Maybe I don't have any negotiation skills, but there is one manufacturer who is quite sincere."

Xue Liancheng: "Huh? Anything else?"

Old father: "There is a sports brand called Under Armour, a small company with a small market share and an annual revenue of just over 20 billion. I think it would be risky to sign with them, and it won't work for your marketing and support."

Xue Liancheng: "Under Armor?"

Isn't this a brand endorsement signed by elementary school students?
However, the annual endorsement fee for elementary school students is only about 400 million US dollars, and since this year, elementary school students have taken off.

Under Armor also ascended to heaven, seizing the share of sports goods in North America and becoming another big winner of sports goods.

Signing with this company seems to be a good choice. After all, Under Armour's reputation is not obvious now, and he has more room for bargaining.

Most importantly, Under Armor is bound to take off...

Surprise from the old father: "Have you heard of this company too?"

The annual revenue is just over 20 billion. In front of the giants of Nike and Adidas, it is really small and transparent. In addition, Under Armor focuses on youth sports, so he has never heard of it.

Xue Liancheng replied, "I've heard of it, by the way, what is the contract it offered?"

Old father: "8500 million in six years, even I think we can talk about it. Today, after you scored 41+20 and killed the Warriors, they were the first to call."

Upon hearing the amount, Xue Liancheng's expression finally improved. After converting it, the one-year endorsement fee came to 1400 million, which was relatively close to the price in his mind.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Well, let them call me and I'll talk to them."

The old father was stunned: "Now?"

Xue Liancheng said with certainty, "That's right, it's now."

After hanging up the phone.

Xue Liancheng's mood fluctuated slightly.

soon.

He will be super rich, and the endorsement fee can be much higher than his rookie contract.

With this money, he can consider buying a luxury house like Uncle Wei.

Just thinking about it, he couldn't help but be fascinated, so happy...

This is the meaning of life.

Be sure to enjoy and enjoy...

Ok……

There are also fragrant cars, and beautiful women...

Soon.

The phone rang again.

Xue Liancheng glanced at it, it was an unfamiliar number, took a deep breath, and connected, "Hello..."

A deep voice came from the other end of the phone, "Xue, I'm Plank, the founder of Under Armor. I'm really glad to have a direct conversation with you. This makes me so excited."

Xue Liancheng: "I'm also very happy to be recognized by you."

Plank: "The confrontation between you and Stephen was so exciting. I really regret not being able to watch the game live. Next time the two of you meet, I will definitely be there in person."

Xue Liancheng: "Thank you..."

Made...

Old fritters!

Just don't mention the endorsement quotation first, and talk to him about it.

This is the skill of negotiation.

No wonder the old father was so hard-pressed by big names like Nike and Adidas when negotiating.

It's really hard to communicate...

Plank: "By the way, after a while, I will organize a party in New York. Xue, I sincerely invite you to meet and see if there is any chance for us to cooperate."

Xue Liancheng didn't want to talk anymore, and cut straight to the point, "I want to know now, how much sincerity do you have?"

Plank: "8500 million in six years, I have talked with your father, and I recognize your market in the Asia-Pacific."

Xue Liancheng: "..."

The price reduction is coming immediately.

It means: I recognize the market behind you, so I will give you this price.

In other words: this price is already very sincere.

But he really didn't want to talk about it, so he said, "Thank you for your approval, sorry to bother you."

Plank froze for a moment, "Xue, wait a minute, is there any question?"

Xue Liancheng: "No problem, my father said you are very sincere, but since Mr. Plank wants to think about it, then I will think about it first, I'm not in a hurry."

Plank laughed awkwardly, "Since we've come to this point, let me make it clear. We can provide a brand endorsement contract of up to 9000 million for six years. This is my sincerity."

Sure enough, 500 million was added.

But not enough.

Xue Liancheng: "If you understand the Chinese market, you should be more than sincere."

Plank froze for a moment, "This..."

Xue Liancheng: "Do you know how much Nike's revenue in China is?"

Plank: "..."

Xue Liancheng: "Nearly 40 billion, twice the total revenue of your Under Armour."

Although the other party didn't speak, he believed that Plank must know.

That's the chip he's throwing.

Plank: "That's a staggering number."

Xue Liancheng: "With my influence, I believe that after three years, I can increase the revenue share by more than 20%. What do you think?"

Plank: "It's a possibility, but only a possibility."

Xue Liancheng: "So, Mr. Plank doesn't think I have such potential?"

Plank: "Okay, Xue, tell me what you want."

Xue Liancheng: "The basic endorsement fee is 1 million for six years. I hope that the company will spin off a personal brand that belongs to me. I own the ownership of this brand, accounting for 5000% of the shares. At the same time, I also want 70% of your company's shares."

Since you want to bargain?
Then you might as well open the lion's mouth a little wider.

Ok……

That's right.

He didn't mind opening his bloody mouth wide open.

　Let’s start with an update today. I was delayed by something in the morning, and I’ll be back to normal tomorrow. It’s very solitary...
