Chapter 153 Li Kaiwen's Commercial Value

Jinjiang City, Anta Headquarters Building.

This magnificent office building is bustling with people early in the morning. Urban white-collar workers hurried into the elevator with coffee and breakfast, ready to start a day of hard work.

In a luxuriously decorated office on the upper floor of the building, Chen Dapeng served a cup of freshly brewed high-quality Wuyi mountain tea, and sat on a large sofa chair to watch the sports news of the past two days.

As the commercial general manager of Anta, keeping abreast of the dynamics of the sports market is his daily task.

"The Chinese rule the NBA. Li Kevin scored 45 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists in the Christmas game."

"118 seconds and 22 points lead the team to victory, today the whole NBA will shine for him!"

"'Li Time' strikes, and he will surely enter the Hall of Fame with this miracle."

"An answer that Huaxia Basketball has been waiting for for so many years has finally appeared!"

……

Today's sports news has been dominated by Li Kaiwen's explosive performance on Christmas Eve. Now not only in China, but even in every corner of the world where the NBA can be seen, Li Kaiwen is the hottest topic.

He really did a miracle!

Unlike the netizens who cheered and cheered under the news about Lao Li, Chen Dapeng's expression became more and more ugly.

"TMD~! Damn it!"

Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore, and smashed the phone directly on the desk,
"I knew that I would have given the contract price at the level of Klay Thompson, who would have known that you would have made it!"

"Fuck, what a loss of business I have lost!"

Now everyone knows that Li Kaiwen will become the strongest NBA player in Chinese history.

What's more, unlike Yao Ming back then, as an outside player, his commercial value in sneakers is much higher than that of Chairman Yao!
The expensive Apple mobile phone has been cracked, but he didn't show any distressed expression, but disgusted.

A person like him never reflects on his own problems, and only blames the other party for not following his script!
Before negotiating the sneaker contract with Li Kaiwen, he contacted Li Lin's person in charge of negotiating the contract in advance through his deep contacts in the industry. After some communication,
These two sports brand companies, which rank first and second in China, have jointly researched a low price that can be called killing pigs.

At the company's contract quotation meeting, he made a solemn promise that he could lower the contract price so that he could seek the greatest benefits for the company.

In the past few years in Anta, he has played this set of business strategies very smoothly, which has enabled him to step up to the throne of the business general manager of China's No. [-] sports company step by step!
But this time, it seems to have screwed up.

Suddenly, the cell phone that he dropped on the table rang.

It can be vaguely seen from the crack that it is a call from the head of Anta and his immediate boss, Ding Shizhong!
Chen Dapeng immediately wiped his face, cleared his throat, picked up the phone and asked respectfully: "Mr. Ding, hello! Is there anything you need to tell me to do?"

The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone replied in a calm tone: "Dapeng, come up and find me."

Chen Dapeng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized something, a little panic appeared on his face.

However, he quickly calmed down, controlled his emotions, and replied, "Alright Mr. Ding, I'll come right over."

Ding Shizhong's office has the best view of the entire building, overlooking the beautiful scenery of Jinjiang.

Decades and two generations of hard work have allowed a small workshop to grow into the current towering giant, and the hardships involved cannot be described by outsiders.

After going through all kinds of hardships, Ding Shizhong has acquired the cultivation that is rare among entrepreneurs, and his skill in nourishing energy has won the appreciation of the old man of the family.

But today's incident made him so angry that he lost his composure for the first time!
Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the nodding and bowing man in front of him, Ding Shizhong changed his plainness on the phone and asked directly,

"Dapeng, is there anything important that you need to report to me recently?"

With a flattering face, Chen Dapeng replied to the Chairman: "Mr. Ding, the blockbuster product of our group this year, KT9, will go on sale at 6:[-] pm today."

"KT9 integrates the most cutting-edge technology of our company and uses the best materials. With it, it will surely set a new high for the group's sales this year..."

"I'm not saying that,"

Ding Shizhong directly interrupted his speech and threw a report in his hand in front of them.

"2023 China National Athlete Commercial Value Ranking."

Chen Dapeng tremblingly picked up the report and turned to the first page.

"The first page is table tennis, the second page is diving, and the third page...basketball."

"The commercial value of basketball players ranks first: Yao Ming."

"The commercial value of basketball players ranks second: Kevin Li."

A bead of sweat dripped from Chen Dapeng's shiny forehead, onto the name on the report that was emphatically circled with black pen.

The supernova who was driven away by him with a low price!

"Chen Dapeng!"

This time, Ding Shizhong directly called out the full name of the founding elder.

Different from the usual warmth, today he is like a beast that eats people!
"Don't you know how much loss you have brought to the group?"

"At the beginning, it was your clever bidding strategy that made us lose the chance to sign with the strongest basketball player in the history of China!"

"You let Anta lose the best chance to stand on top of the world, do you understand?"

Ding Shizhong slapped the huanghuali wood table, pointed at Chen Dapeng's nose and cursed,

"Do you know what it means to cherish your life when you do great things, and forget your righteousness when you see small gains?"

"With such short-sightedness, how can you continue to serve as the general manager of the group's business?"

When Chen Dapeng heard this, he became anxious.

"Mr. Ding, I know this is all my fault, but there is still a way to save it!"

"Not to mention that Feiyue is only a small company and cannot fully utilize Li Kaiwen's commercial value. More importantly, I have already found out that Feiyue only has a one-year contract with him."

"When his contract is about to expire, I will definitely help the group and recruit him!"

After venting, Ding Shizhong knew that the matter had come to an end, and there was no point in accusing him any more.

He sat down and looked at Chen Dapeng coldly.

"Let's settle this matter like this, first,"

"Punish your salary for this year as punishment."

"Second, I don't care what method you use, KT9 must sell well. Let Li Kaiwen see our unrivaled strength in domestic basketball shoes."

"Third, after one year, I don't care what price you pay, Li Kaiwen can set the conditions as you like, you must dig him into Anta's banner. I will use him as the cornerstone to make Anta bigger and stronger, and create greater glories!"

He stared at Chen Dapeng's flustered eyes, and said word by word,

"If you can't do any of these three points, you can pack your bags and go home."

"Understood, Mr. Ding!"

Chen Dapeng bent over and almost planted his head on the floor.
