Chapter 102 Sneaker Contract Negotiation
The next day, after the team training.

Old Nelson called Du Zhe aside and started talking alone.

"Du, I heard from the trainer and nutritionist that you want to gain weight? I don't think this is a wise choice." Old Nelson got straight to the point.

"Coach, I just feel that my confrontation ability is not strong enough. I just want to further improve my strength by gaining weight." Du Zhe didn't know how to explain it, so he could only fool around.

"Enhance your confrontation ability? Your confrontation ability is already considered good among outside players. If you continue to gain weight, do you want to fight O'Neal hard?"

"Besides, the team has no intention of letting you switch to playing inside. Why do you have to gain weight?" Although most of China's players in the NBA are inside, Nelson feels that there is no need for Du Zhe to inherit this fine tradition.

"Okay, coach..." Du Zhe felt that the explanation was unclear, so he could only take a step back and stop insisting.

Anyway, the mouth is his own, so it is not up to him to decide how to eat or practice.

Old Nelson was doubtful and could only nod his head and let Du Zhe go back to continue training.

He felt that he was getting more and more confused about this young man now.

After Du Zhe's potential was further improved, he again focused his training on improving his physical fitness.

In the past, his physical training was just routine, more to maintain his condition, but starting from today, he will put more pressure on himself.

Before the playoffs, he needs to further improve his core strength and confrontation ability, and try to train himself into an enhanced version of Zion Williams.

He needs to eat and practice, Du Zhe calculated that when the endorsement contract is signed, he will have to spend some money to find a professional cook and nutritionist.

Whatever he thought came to him, after the training, Du Zhe returned to the locker room and took a shower, when he received a call from Lao Wang.

"Azhe, I've been busy from morning to night these two days, and I've finally negotiated the sneaker contract. Now I'm just waiting for your decision!" Lao Wang's tone on the other end of the phone was very excited.

"What kind of overweight did they offer?" Du Zhe also faintly felt a tinge of anticipation, after all, he had been waiting for this moment for half a year.

Then Lao Wang began to elaborate: "In the first round of quotations, the contracts given by several sports brands in China were all around $5 million over five years. Among them, a certain Ning The quotes given by these two companies are slightly higher."

This was within Du Zhe's expectations. After all, Ning and Tada are the leading sports brands in Huaguo, so they are naturally richer than other brands.

Then he asked: "What about foreign brands?"

As soon as he mentioned this, Lao Wang became angry and began to curse when he spoke: "Azhe, don't mention it. I get angry when I mention it. At the beginning, Xidi gave me a three-year contract worth 3 million U.S. dollars. It’s outrageous, I just made an offer of 120 million dollars over three years, you think this is not looking down on people?”

If he had encountered this kind of contract last season, Du Zhe would definitely sign it without any hesitation.

But now that they can still come up with such an offer, it can only be said that they are indeed a bit contemptuous.

But Du Zhe was not in a hurry, he believed that Lao Wang would not let him down.

Sure enough, Lao Wang continued: "On the other hand, the two brands, Andema and Xin Bailun, are somewhat sincere, and their quotations are 3 million knives over three years."

"Then I used this price tag to continue to raise the price and continue to pull, but after thinking about it, Mo Ke and Mo Di offered a 5-year 2000 million dollar contract for the second time and came to cut it off. I really don't understand their brains. circuit."

Du Zhe's heart jumped when he heard the price of 5 million dollars in five years, but he still said calmly on the phone: "This is just a dog that can't change its habit of eating shit. When a certain Ke renewed his contract with Dayao, he also said What's the result of this trick? It's not like stealing the chicken but losing the rice."

When negotiating the sneaker contract with Dayao, a certain Ke only offered an insulting offer of less than 4 million yuan for 200 years in the first negotiation. As a result, Dayao, who felt humiliated, turned around and agreed to Ruibu's 7-year offer of 5000 million dollars. contract.

A regretful person later wanted to make amends with a seven-year offer of 7 million yuan, but Dayao, who was already angry, said bluntly: "This is not about money." This made him reject the offer.

Of course, in business, although Lao Wang is very unhappy with these two products now, it does not prevent him from using them as a tool to raise prices.

After raising prices, several major domestic brands have also offered contracts worth more than $5 million over five years.

Among foreign brands, Mooke and Moudi are also willing to sign Du Zhe at a price of 5 million yuan over five years.

Undermart and New Balance are a bit lacking in courage, and are only willing to offer an offer of 3 million knives for three years.

For Du Zhe, a rookie who has not finished a full season, this price is completely acceptable.

Finally, after discussing with Lao Wang, Du Zhe decided to choose a contract between Mo Ning and Mo Mo.

From the perspective of subsequent commercial value development, signing with Mooke or Moodi is undoubtedly the more correct decision.

These two companies are quite influential in the sports field around the world. Among them, Keke has been cultivating in the NBA for many years, which is not comparable to those domestic sports brands that are still trying to enter the NBA.

But since the other party didn't take him seriously, then Du Zhe would naturally reciprocate and let the two of them be the tools for raising the price.

"Then...Ah Zhe, which one do you prefer to sign with now?" The quotations and conditions given by the last two remaining companies are very close, and Lao Wang couldn't help but want to ask Du Zhe for his opinion.

"Um, why don't we just go to someone else?" Du Zhe thought for a moment and then gave the answer.

Then he added: "But don't say you're going to die at Mouning, we have to raise the price even more."

"Oh? I thought you would choose Mou Ning." Du Zhe's choice surprised Lao Wang a little.

After all, although these two brands are now the dominant ones in China, in terms of reputation, in recent years, Mouning has gained more limelight.

The reason why Du Zhe chose XX is also very simple, that is, XX's sneakers are cheaper.

Perhaps due to the influence of memories from previous lives, or because he wanted the sneakers he endorsed to be worn by most people, Du Zhe subconsciously chose to sign a contract with a certain player.

After the sneaker contract is roughly finalized, Du Zhe will also face his first opponent after the All-Star Weekend-the Los Angeles Lakers.

Having just made a splash at the All-Star Weekend, he now heads to Los Angeles again, which naturally attracts widespread attention.

The grievances between him and Kobe, and the stumbling of the two teams this season have become excellent material for media traffic.

But before the start of the game, the Lakers' starting lineup poured cold water on everyone.

Kobe was not on the roster.
