Legendary star

Chapter 74 Endorsement
On February 2000, 2, the NBA All-Star Game ended in a hustle and bustle. In the end, the Western Conference defeated the Eastern Conference 13 to 137. O'Neal and Tim Duncan shared this year's All-Star MVP.Regardless of whether it is from a competitive or commercial point of view, this All-Star Game is undoubtedly very successful, whether it is the championship of Meng Xu who closed his eyes and took a 126-point shot, or Carter's 3 wonderful dunks , even the All-Star Game is the most exciting one in these years, and the ratings of this All-Star are also the new high in the past 5 years, and the decline caused by Jordan's retirement in the NBA is being brought back bit by bit .

As a member of the Spurs, the two big men of the team, Tim Duncan and David Robinson, participated in this year's All-Star Game. Meng Xu also had to cheer for them from the sidelines, watching the star players on the court play. Meng Xu was in full swing, and Meng Xu could only be envious.

After the game, Meng Xu took the flight back to San Antonio on the same day. Because he called ahead of time, after returning to the apartment where he lived, although it was already early in the morning, He Hui was still sitting in the living room waiting, and the tea machine in front of him was neatly arranged With a few stacks of documents.

"Sister Hui, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" Meng Xu looked at He Hui who was obviously sleepy while taking off his coat.

"I'm waiting for you. I have something very important to discuss with you." He Hui picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip to drive away sleepiness.

"If you have anything to say, you can talk about it tomorrow. Staying up late is not good for your skin." Meng Xu said and sat down on the sofa.

"Look at these documents." He Hui said and pushed the stacks of documents on the tea machine to Meng Xu: "These documents are all advertisements for you to endorse."

"Why are there so many?" Looking at the pile of documents on the coffee table, Meng Xu was also a little puzzled. As a rookie player, he was not a player with star halo like Francis. In the past, no company found him. Why? All of a sudden there are so many more.

"Many of these are from China. As CCTV began to broadcast the Spurs games live, you also have a lot of fans and popularity in China, so these companies will find you. And you performed very well in the All-Star Game , so a few companies from the United States came to me.” He Hui pointed to the documents on the tea machine: “This stack is the contract that I think can be signed, and the middle stack is the contract that can be considered or postponed. , the last stack can be clearly rejected, you are checking to see if there is any problem."

"It's okay, don't read it, sister Hui, you can make the decision." Meng Xu took a sip of He Hui's coffee and didn't look at the documents on the table.

"You'd better take a look. I have also collected some information on these domestic companies in the past few days. My suggestion is to reject all companies with bad records, because this may affect your future. Image, although the remaining contract amounts are not too high, but fortunately, the audience is very wide, which is very helpful for improving your popularity. I suggest you sign it, but the contract period should be shorter, preferably a Sign every year." Although Meng Xu made it clear that he didn't need to read it, He Hui still picked up the contracts and explained them to Meng Xu one by one.

"Well, no problem." Meng Xu finally browsed through the contract casually: "Why is there still McDonald's?"

"Yes, among these contracts, McDonald's is the most lucrative company. McDonald's itself has a tradition of signing young players, and you won the MVP of this year's Rookie Challenge, so yesterday McDonald's sent me a preliminary contract. Intention, although the two-year contract of 2 million yuan is not far behind Francis and the others, it is almost the same as your salary in the Spurs."

"So are there any requirements for signing these contracts?" Meng Xu continued to ask, after all, these millions of dollars were not for nothing.

"You only need to attend the annual McDonald's High School All-Star Game as a special guest, and participate in the McDonald's meeting during the offseason. The other contracts are basically the same." He Hui picked up another stack of contracts and continued. : "These contracts can be discussed, or delayed."

"Nike, Adidas, Reebok." Meng Xu read the names of the companies on these contracts.

"Reebok is the most sincere, and the contract amount is also the highest, but Reebok's strength is also the worst. Adidas was introduced by the seniors. Nike should compete with Adidas purely. The contract between the two companies Basically the same.” Also studying at Wake Forest College, Tim Duncan can be regarded as He Hui’s senior: “The contract for sneakers must be signed, so we must be cautious. We are talking at the end of the season. Firstly, their contract amount is too low, and I think you still have more room for improvement. If you can perform better in the next games, then I have enough confidence Bargain with them to get more benefits for you."

"So you've been busy with these things these days." Looking at the tired face, but still meticulously explaining the advantages and disadvantages of each contract and the order of signing to Meng Xu, Meng Xu was also moved for a while, because The little bit of resentment caused by not watching the All-Star Game was also thrown out of the sky at this moment.

"Yes, there are so many companies, I have to collect information and investigate one by one. I thought it would be easy to be an agent, but I didn't expect it to be so tiring." He Hui didn't look up, but picked up the last one. pile of files.

"Although the amount of the contract is quite high, I suggest that you reject it. As an athlete, it is very necessary to maintain a positive image in front of the public, so as long as the contract will damage your image, you must reject it. .” After He Hui finished speaking, he handed these contracts to Meng Xu.

"XX brand height-enhancing medicine, XX brand height-enhancing shoes, and height-enhancing insoles." Seeing the products of these endorsed brands, Meng Xu felt it was funny. If he really endorsed these contracts, wouldn't this be a blatant fraud, thinking to himself In the future, there may be advertisements similar to "Eat XX brand heightening products, you can be as tall as Meng Xu", Meng Xu felt a chill, and put the contract directly on the tea machine, Meng Xu said : "It is to be rejected directly."

"Well, I will cancel these contracts for you tomorrow." After He Hui finished speaking, he yawned and stroked his hair with his right hand.

"Sister Hui, go to bed early, it's getting late, I have something to deal with tomorrow." Meng Xu also stretched his arms after speaking. Although he didn't play today, he still couldn't hold on until now.
