Chapter 177 Nike's New Contract
After the Spurs won the championship in Indiana, although tens of thousands of Spurs fans gathered in Indiana, the current Spurs are still eager to return to San Antonio with the Larry O'Brien Cup as soon as possible, because there is still More Spurs fans are waiting for them to go back.

Under such circumstances, although the Spurs celebrated almost all night, the entire Spurs boarded the chartered flight back to San Antonio early the next morning, dragging their tired and drunk bodies.After nearly 3 hours of flight, the chartered plane for all the Spurs players and staff returned to San Antonio at noon that day.

When Meng Xu walked out of the San Antonio Airport with the team, what caught his eyes was a sea of ​​people that had almost filled the square in front of the airport, as well as various banners and slogans.Especially when the owner of the Spurs, Pete Holt, came out first holding the championship trophy, the cheers erupted from the crowd in the entire square were enough to overturn the terminal building of San Antonio Airport.

Every Spurs player who comes out after Pete Holt will be cheered by almost all the fans, and when Duncan came out last with the FMVP trophy as the finale, the fans on the scene even shouted Tim Duncan The name of the MVP's catchphrase.

At this moment, Meng Xu, who had already stepped onto the parade bus prepared by the team in advance, was also standing on the roof of the double-decker bus, looking at the FMVP trophy in his hand, while waving to the fans, Meng Xu also licked Lips, it's hard to hide the envy in my heart.

After a brief championship declaration, the Spurs' championship parade started from San Antonio's airport, followed the route planned in advance, circled the city for a week, and finally returned to the San Antonio Spurs Club in the evening. The traffic was paralyzed, and this city with a total population of more than 130 million people fell into a carnival because of the Spurs' championship.

. . . . . .

When Meng Xu dragged his exhausted body back to the apartment, the moment he opened the door, he found that there were already no less than a dozen people sitting in this small apartment, and it seemed that they were already here waiting for him to come back. up.

"Meng, hello, we met yesterday." Looking at Meng Xu in a daze, a middle-aged man in a brand-new black suit quickly stood up from the sofa, walked up to Meng Xu and stretched himself out. right hand.

"Hello." The person who shook hands with Meng Xu, Meng Xu only met yesterday, this person is the representative of Nike who appeared at the championship award ceremony yesterday.

"First of all, let me introduce myself. I am Pete Williams, the full-time director of basketball affairs at Nike. You can call me Pete." After Pete Williams finished speaking, Meng Xu walked into the apartment and found a place to sit. down.

"Xiao Xu, this Mr. Pete is the vice president in charge of basketball affairs of Nike." After He Hui finished speaking, he looked at Meng Xu with some resentment: "Where's your phone? Why can't you get through? It's hard to get through. It's not you who took it."

Hearing what He Hui said, Meng Xu immediately touched his pocket, squeezed the empty pocket, and patted his forehead: "It must have fallen during the championship parade today, Terry Potter and Steve Cole, these two old bastards have been fighting for the championship trophy with me, they must have fallen on the bus when they were fighting with me."

"Forget it, let's talk about it later." When Meng Xu said that he lost his phone, He Hui's face changed a lot better: "Mr. Pete came to San Antonio today to talk to you about signing a contract."

"Sister Hui, you have the final say, everything is up to you to decide." When it comes to basketball, He Hui is definitely not as good as himself, but when it comes to economics, Meng Xu can't catch up with He Hui even if he rides eight horses. Wake Forest Business School's top students are not built.Moreover, He Hui has always treated herself closer than her own sister, and for her own sake, He Hui even gave up the opportunity to study at Harvard, so Meng Xu has great trust in He Hui, even if He Hui sells her, Meng Xu No complaints.

Since the entire conversation between Meng Xu and He Hui was in Chinese, Pete Williams, after hearing the conversation between the two through his own translator, took out a contract that had been prepared in advance: "Meng, I'll just say Yes, our company and I value your future and the market behind you very much, so we are willing to pay a lot of money to sign a contract with you, and even after the contract expires, we will consider signing a lifetime contract with you .”

"Lifetime contract?" When Meng Xu heard about the lifelong contract, he felt a little guilty. The lifelong contract is basically the same as the contract of sale, and Meng Xu is most concerned about the amount of the contract. If the contract is still the same as last time, The ghost signed a lifetime contract with you. Thinking of this, Meng Xu also looked at Pete Williams and asked, "May I ask about the contract amount?"

"The total amount of our first contract is 3 million U.S. dollars in three years." Pete Williams took the contract and flipped through a few pages, then handed it to Meng Xu, pointed to a large string of numbers on it, and then gently He spat out two words: "After tax."

After receiving the contract and carefully looking at the amount on it, Meng Xu was so shocked by the string of zeros that he was speechless. The total amount after tax was 0 million US dollars, equivalent to 3000 million US dollars per year. A 1000 is directly added to the back of the quotation once.Thinking of so much small money, Meng Xu's eyes immediately stared at gold stars. Even David Robinson, who is currently the highest salary in the Spurs, can't get so much in a year.

"After we sign the contract, all the resources of Nike in Asia will be devoted to you. At the same time, we will launch your exclusive signature sneakers by next year at the latest..." Meng Xu looked at the contract in a daze , Pete talked to Meng Xu about how Nike would package and promote Meng Xu, and at the same time, looking forward to the future, he made a big picture for Meng Xu as much as possible.

"Sister Hui, do you think I'm worth so much?" Such a big contract frightened Meng Xu at once. Meng Xu didn't know about the contract between Duncan and Adidas. Meng Xu still knew about the contract between Duncan and Adidas. With Duncan's strength and popularity in the United States, he couldn't sign such a big contract.Moreover, the contract between Reebok and Allen Iverson, which caused a sensation in the United States this year, is only worth 1 million U.S. dollars in five years, which is still before tax. That is to say, Meng Xu's current contract with Nike is worth less than those first-line superstars. need more.

"To be honest, I was also very surprised when I first saw this number. However, Nike's daring to sign Jordan, who has not yet played in the NBA, is enough to prove their insight, and Nike's value is not only your future, The most important thing is the market behind you." Just last year, Huaguo's GDP exceeded 10 trillion yuan, and it has become the world's top 5 economies. For Huaguo, an emerging market, countless multinational giants are salivating. But after Jordan retired, Nike's share in China also plummeted, so at this time, if there is no Meng Xu, Nike will find a way to sign Zhang Xu and Li Xu to maintain its position in the Chinese sports goods market.And as the first Chinese to log into the NBA, and after experiencing an outstanding performance in the playoffs, Meng Xu's popularity in China is unquestionable, which is why he has the almost sky-high contract offered by Nike.

After figuring this out, Meng Xu also nodded, expressing his willingness to sign a contract with Nike.

"YES." After receiving Meng Xu's affirmative answer, Pete was also very excited: "Our signing will become another miracle in the history of Nike."
