……

Regarding this contract, very few people came out to support Tang Qian, and even some people who usually like Tang Qian chose to remain silent, because the contract given to him by AND1 is really too fat! 2 million US dollars in 2800 years is equal to 1 million US dollars in 1400 year. What is this concept?Take the No. 24 of the Lakers as an example, the price tag given to him by Nike is currently 3 million U.S. dollars for 4200 years, which is exactly 1400 million U.S. dollars a year, plus some additional benefits and bonuses, it will not exceed 1600 million U.S. dollars, Tang Qian The first sneaker contract was close to Kobe's height, which is a bit "inflated" no matter how you look at it.Of course, it is well known that Nike has always been "mean" to Kobe. Whether it is the length of the contract or the amount, it is sorry for Kobe's status in the world.Looking at Durant again, the current contract is 7 million US dollars for 6000 years, which is about 858 million US dollars a year, but in the future he will sign a 10-year 3 million super endorsement contract, that is, he can get For Durant, who is still on the rise, the US knife of around 3333 million is undoubtedly a huge contract with enough sincerity.Not to mention James, who has been the darling of Nike since high school. Before entering the NBA, he got a "sky-high contract" of more than 7 years and 9000 million yuan. You must know that before 2003, NBA superstars only had one year A salary of around 1 million!For comparison, look at the sneaker contract that Nike provided Kobe Bryant in 1000, which was 2003 million for 5 years. At that time, what was Kobe’s status? One of the stars!But his contract is less than half of that of a high school student!
That year, Kobe could get $900 million a year from Nike, plus some bonuses and benefits, which was about 1000 million.What about high school student James?It is already close to 1300 million per year.As for the latter, Nike also gave him a lifetime contract. This is also the first lifetime contract in Nike's 44 years. According to his friend Maverick Carter's disclosure in "GQ" magazine, the total amount exceeded 10 billion dollars!And it's a contract of cooperation between the two parties, that is to say, Nike wants to play Jordan's tricks with James, and give him a share of the sales profits!

But that happened in 2015. It is only 2013 now, and it will be realized in two years. That is to say, Tang Qian entered Jordan's "shoe contract field" one step earlier than James.After looking at Jordan’s income from sneakers, you will understand that the so-called fixed endorsement fee is actually a small one. The real big one is the 4%~5% of the national sales profit dividends. This is what makes Jordan even after retirement. Firmly hold the key to the NBA's highest sneaker income "big boss" position.

However, AND1 offers a 15%-20% sales profit dividend, which is still global, which can't help but make people envious or even jealous.We can't blame them for being so "small-minded", mainly because the inside players are originally "vulnerable groups" in basketball shoe sales. Look at the sneaker endorsement price of "the number one active center" peak "Warcraft", but it costs 6 million U.S. dollars in 3600 years, one year It was less than 600 million US dollars, less than half of Tang Qian's first contract.So it can only be said that as soon as the details of Tang Qian's sneaker contract were announced, he was immediately on the cusp of players and the media.

Jealousy, sarcasm, dissatisfaction, and many negative emotions began to rise in the alliance, so many people who were originally neutral have "turned black" one after another, only to "black and black".

The phone number of AND1 company is about to explode at this moment, and there is an endless stream of media and reporters who come to seek confirmation. This kind of grand occasion has not happened in AND1 for many years.It's just that the reason for the appearance made Seth Berger a little "stressed".

In the AND1 conference room, Seth Berger was furious: "Who is it! Which idiot leaked the details of this contract??? Stand up for yourself!!!" In the conference room, there was a chilling silence. People came, but no one said a word. "Okay, I'm not mean to you usually, right? Some of you betrayed me at critical moments? Betrayed AND1? Are you worthy of the salary I give you??? Stand up and admit it yourself, and I can give you a lighter sentence, otherwise once it is found out , you will definitely be sent to court, and you will be punished for the crime of leaking commercial secrets!!!"

But after a while, the meeting room was still silent.

Seth Berger was so angry that his face turned red, and he shouted loudly: "Bastard! What a bastard without eggs! If I find out, I will definitely smash his teeth with my own hands! No one will stay !!!" At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Seth Berger's female secretary said cautiously: "Sey, Mr. Seth Berger, hot manager is calling, She wants to ask who leaked this commercial secret, how we will deal with this matter, and if we can’t handle it, then she does not rule out terminating the contract with us, and at the same time suing us for breach of contract... ..."

"This damned Chinese woman is really making trouble! I've been looking at her for a long time..." When an executive was about to "fill with righteous indignation" and "curse loudly" Zhou Zhiru, Seth Berger's voice suddenly appeared and shouted: "You What are you doing? Is this the corporate quality of our company? Is this the corporate culture that our company emphasizes? The contract clearly states that before the launch of the signature shoes, neither party can disclose the specific details of the contract, especially It’s the details of dividends. Now that something happened, people came to question us. Isn’t this a normal thing? You still have the nerve to scold others? Hmph, is it because you revealed our business secrets?”

"Ah, me, me, Mr. Berger, don't guess, this matter has nothing to do with me!" I wanted to show off in front of Seth Berger, but unexpectedly The flattery was slapped on the horse's hoof, and it didn't have any positive effect. Instead, it aroused the latter's suspicion and suspicion for no reason.

This middle-aged executive really wanted to beat himself to death!

"Mr. Berger, let me tell you something." This is a female executive who looks very young, in her early 30s at most, but she is considered to be a relatively front seat in the senior management of AND1 company.Why can she have such a high status in AND1?Because in recent years, she has been responsible for nearly half of the company's money-making projects by herself. As far as this achievement is concerned, no one will gossip about her in this position.

Rightfully so.

"Tell me, Dana." Seeing that it was Dana, Seth Berger temporarily suppressed his anger and said.

"First of all, I don't think this is our internal problem." Dai Na said very ably: "Because the big guys are willing to stay in ADN1 not only for money, but also for other things. Otherwise, there are too many choices for job hopping. I believe Bo Mr. Jie, you also know that many headhunters have invited us." "Well, you continue." Seth Berger said noncommittally.

"Then it's time and motivation. We all signed a non-disclosure agreement, and at the same time occupy a small part of the shares of AND1 company. No one wants AND1 to get worse and worse. This is not in line with our interests, so..." Dana dumped With a long wave of pure gold, he said: "There is only one most suitable candidate, and he is Benjahan who was fired by you not long ago."

"After he was fired by you, all the shares were sold off, so AND1 company and him, there is no longer any involvement or relationship, he has a very good motive to take revenge on AND1 or you like this." In Dana's detail After careful analysis, Seth Berger also calmed down. He first waved his hand to let the female secretary at the door back out, and then said: "If it is really him, then I will definitely not let him go! I Let him be sued! Let him be notorious in the industry!"

"There is no problem with these, sir, but the top priority is to stabilize China Hot. Otherwise, if he leaves, our AND1 will suffer an unbearable loss." Hearing Dana's suggestion, Seth Berger nodded and said : "Do you have a specific remedy plan? Dana?"

"Yes, it's actually not difficult, we can take the initiative to increase the value of the contract." Dai Na said fluently: "Anyway, it's already 2800 million US dollars now, why not add 200 million to make a round number of 3000 million, and you can also take the opportunity Hype it up so that the outside world will be full of impressions and curiosity about our new AND1 sneakers, and if done well, it may be able to achieve the publicity effect of "hot before it's sold." After listening to Dana's proposal, Seth Bo Jie secretly affirmed in his heart, because this set of remedial plans was more complete and perfect than what he had just thought of. At the same time, he also took advantage of the momentum of this "incident" to counter the hype and reverse the situation, saving AND1 a lot of money. Large advertising and publicity costs.

It seemed that it was an extremely wise decision for me to accept her as a freshman.

"Okay, do you have any additions or comments on Dana's proposal?" Seth Berger glanced at the high-level personnel in the conference room and asked.Seeing that no one answered immediately, he immediately made a decision and said arbitrarily: "Then follow Dana's suggestion, prepare a new contract immediately, and then contact Hot's manager, and tell her our sincerity in remedial action!"

Seeing that the people below didn't respond for a long time, Seth Berger said sullenly again: "Didn't you hear me? Act now, immediately, GO!!!" Suddenly the senior officials in the conference room were shocked, and then got up one after another, flying He also seemed to have returned to his work area.

After everyone left, Seth Berger suddenly said to himself: "So it feels so good to be alone in making decisions? If Tom and Jay were still here, then I definitely wouldn't have such decision-making power."

……

Media news is always sensitive, so it didn't take long for AND1's official statement to be reposted by countless people.

AND1 company refute the rumors!The price they put on China is far more than that! 2 million in 3000 years, the price is directly catching up with the first line of the league! —Los Angeles Times.

Although I also like China Tang very much, but 2 million in 3000 years, he is really not worth so much! — Bleacher Cy. Sin.

Are Chinese people without the Chinese market worth so much money?He is 2 times better than Howard?That's absolute bullshit! — ESPN.

It's crazy!When I first entered the league, it was only 6 years and 1800 million US dollars!Chinese people have a big appetite! —Carmelo Anthony.

LeBron, Wade, and Bosh kept silent about this matter, but insiders revealed that they were all dissatisfied and believed that China Hot's move was a money-gathering behavior that lost the morality of professional players! — ESPN.

$2 million in 3000 years? AND1 completely pushed himself to the point of no return!Friends who still hold AND1 stocks, a friendly reminder, sell them immediately, otherwise you will lose all your money soon! —Henry Abbott.

Oh~ I think that China Hot must be a gay^. Guy~ Otherwise how did he get the boss of AND1? But~His **** is definitely not as long as mine~There is no doubt about this~—Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather tweeted again.

haha!Are the flesh and blood of Los Angeles ready?The Lakers signed a huge premium endorsement contract on the 29th, go find him right away!Oh, by the way, you have to remember the umbrella size of Asians clearly, don’t take out XXXL, then he will only become angry, and you will not get any money and tips~ I want to get the most dollars , Just bring an S-type umbrella, remember this is my "little advice" from Jason Whitelock~——Sports columnist Jason Whitelock.

After seeing these "rumours", Tang Qian just sneered, then remembered them one by one, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

PS: I saw that some book friends questioned the "bad attitude" of Americans towards players of yellow race. OK, the ones listed above by Xiaozi are all people who have had "disparaging remarks". This Freud. Needless to say, Mayweather insulted Jeremy Lin back then, he was the number one person, and his wording was "Asian" and "yellow skin". People of the yellow race were included by him.Then there is the "Amasian" incident in the New York Post. If you are interested, you can search it yourself. Xiaozi will not go into details, but such "discriminatory remarks" will appear in such an authoritative newspaper, which is really shocking.As for the last Jason Whitelock, the famous Kehei, who hacked Yao Ming and Jeremy Lin at the same time, especially during the period of Linsanity, he once published a private tweet similar to what Xiaozi wrote above. To make fun of the entire Asian people, so Xiao Zi is only speaking with facts, rather than pure guesses and imaginings.

But in the end, Tang Qian will be beaten into a pig's head!This is one of Xiao Zi's original intentions for letting them play~
Finally, I would like to thank the Demon King 1982, the silent honor, and suddenly look back on the old days for their great rewards~
