NBA: Start with a three-point experience card

Chapter 1138 Nike apologizes to Wang Yi

After Xiao Hua arrived, the two exchanged pleasantries.

Ann Herbert said directly after exchanging greetings, "Adam, I'm here today to discuss how much sponsorship money we plan to invest in the NBA next season."

Xiao Hua is so shrewd, he naturally knows that this is just an excuse.

He had known for a long time that Ann Herbert had made a stupid decision three years ago, and he also knew that it was basically impossible for Wang Yi to sign a contract with Nike.

So even if he thought about it with his toes, he knew why An was looking for him today.

But as an old fox, he said very politely: "I am really grateful. The NBA has been taken care of by Nike over the years. On behalf of the owners of all the teams, I would like to thank your company for your great support."

Ann also knew that these were polite words.

She said, "But before sponsoring, I want to ask the president to do me a favor."

Xiao Hua touched the shiny bald head, and then helped up his glasses: "Please speak up as soon as possible, as long as I can help, I will try my best."

He is very particular about his best words.

If you need help, I will do my best to help you.

As for whether I can accomplish things after I try my best, that is beyond my control. All I can control is to do my best.

An naturally knew these Xiao Hua tricks.

But at this time she didn't have time to pay attention to these things, she just said:

"If you can take the lead in getting us Nike to sign a contract with Wang Yi, then we will add an additional US$1 million in sponsorship next season."

Adam Silver heard what Ann Herbert said.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

The NBA previously signed an eight-year, $8 billion jersey sponsorship contract with Nike.

And Nike also created a precedent for the NBA to print the logo on the jersey-you know, before that, when Reebok, Adidas and other brands sponsored, they failed to print the LOGO on the jersey.

So in the past 8 years, the relationship between Nike and the NBA has been good.

When the jersey contract expires this year, it's time to negotiate a new contract.

Originally, the new contract had been verbally agreed to be 8 years and 15 billion US dollars.

If an additional $1 million is added, it will be $8 billion over eight years.

At that time, this contract will be the largest jersey sponsorship contract signed by the NBA in recent years.

The NBA can therefore benefit a lot.

But Xiao Hua knew this woman very well.

Just like Wang Yi has thoroughly studied every one of his opponents, Xiao Hua has also thoroughly studied every one of her business partners.

He knew Ann's style of doing things.

Often this is said to be an additional [-] million US dollars, so if it is not possible, it is very likely that not only will the additional [-] million US dollars be withdrawn, but another [-] million US dollars may be withdrawn.

This is [-] million US dollars inside and out.

Thinking about it makes Xiao Hua feel a pain in the flesh.

Although the money is not his own even if he earns it.

But as a pure businessman, his greatest happiness is to make money, even if it is not for himself.

So when he heard what An said at this time, he immediately said: "Don't worry, I will definitely take the lead to let you and Wang Yi meet in person, you have a good talk, and I will also invite the owner of the Kings over, and we will come together Helping you by the side."

Xiao Hua is doing this to benefit the alliance, that is, to benefit all the bosses of the alliance.

I believe that the king's boss should not refuse.

Ann Herbert nodded: "That's the best."

Xiao Hua then said: "But can this matter be put after the finals? After all, we can't affect the state of the players."

An, however, shook his head: "No way. If there are 7 games in the finals, then there are only 5 days before our contract expires. In such a short period of time, many things cannot be resolved. In case something goes wrong , was preempted by other brands, you and I can't afford this responsibility."

Xiao Hua also pondered for a while, making a look of embarrassment, and then reluctantly nodded:
"Well, although it's a bit difficult, I'll try my best to arrange it."

As long as this guy Xiao Hua is concerned with his interests, his work efficiency is very high.

On the afternoon of the second day, Wang Yi was training.

Owner Ranadive came to the sidelines.

When Wang Yi was training, he said to Wang Yi: "Wang, when you finish training, someone will talk to you."

Wang Yi paused and looked at the boss: "Who is it?"

Under normal circumstances, the finals will be played tomorrow, and it is impossible for the boss to arrange for Wang Yi and other irrelevant people to watch the flowers at this time.

Dr. Lana thought for a while and said, "You'll know when you get there."

Since tomorrow is the game, the training task Wang Yi arranged today is not heavy, so he has completed today's training by 4:00 pm.

Since his current abilities have reached the peak of the league, he will hardly trigger any training tasks now.

After 4:00, the boss drove to Sacramento with Wang Yi.

At the Hooters restaurant in Sacramento, Xiao Hua had already booked a private room.

Wang Yi has been to many Hooters restaurants, but the Hooters restaurant here is his favorite.

Because the Sacramento restaurant is on the Sacramento River.

Here you can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the river.

The blue sky and clear water reflect each other, and there are boats coming and going on the river from time to time.

Sitting here, Wang Yi felt as comfortable as sitting in front of his own house.

Looking back, the room is full of NBA elements.

On the wall are creative paintings about the NBA.

Highlights of NBA players are played on the big screens on the walls.

Sitting in a private room, Wang Yi watched his highlights from the playoffs on the screen.

Can't help but joked to the boss next to him, Ranadive: "What's the name of this player? It's awesome."

Ranadive was also a joking person, rubbed his chin, and said with pretended doubts:

"Yeah, what's his name. It seems to be a player of our team, and he seems to have led my team to win two championships. Who is he?"

After that, the two laughed.

Ranadive is Asian.

Therefore, the sense of estrangement between Wang Yi and him is not as deep as that between him and other Americans.

So he often jokes with his boss.

While the two were laughing.

Adam Silver had already come in at the door.

The smile on Wang Yi's face restrained a little.

Anyway, he was a little upset when he saw Xiao Hua.

It's the same as all Huaxia fans are upset when they see him.

With a full smile on his face, Xiao Hua shook hands with Ranadive and Wang Yi.

Wang Yi turned his head and asked the boss next to him, "Is he the one you brought me to meet?"

Wang Yi's words are not very polite.

The boss, Ranadive, didn't care, just nodded.

He is the owner of the NBA team, and Xiao Hua is the president of the NBA.

After all, Xiao Hua is just his wage earner.

As the boss, sometimes he doesn't have to care too much about Xiao Hua's feelings.
