genius point guard

Chapter 143
The Charlotte Bobcats suffered another defeat in Atlanta. Except for Chen Mo who scored 28 points, only Gerald Wallace scored in double figures.The sluggish state of the team caused this defeat.

"Obviously, this is a team that relies heavily on Jack Chen. When Jack Chen can't stand up and score, they will definitely lose. I really don't know how anyone thinks that this team can become a championship team. Strong contender. I think they'll be in the top six in the Eastern Conference at the end of the season." Sean Williams put a taunt on his column this time.

"The scariest thing is that they're relying on a guy with a very poor physical ability, which is fatal to a single-core team. So, neither the Charlotte Bobcats nor Jack Chen can achieve what people expect. They're just average players and average teams in the NBA."

But in fact, this guy has no influence on Chen Mo at all. Now Chen Mo is in Falk's office, and there is a contract in front of them.

"Jack, this is a contract that cannot be refused. I don't think there is any need to discuss it. This contract is too big." Falk's expression is very calm now, but when he received the fax of the contract in the morning, Hands are shaking.

With 10 million US dollars in 3 years, plus 2% of Under Armour's shares, the largest contract in the NBA sneaker market is now in front of Chen Mo.

Chen Mo was shocked, he never thought that someone would send him such a big contract.

"Jack, what do you think? Do you want to meet Mr. Adam in the afternoon? We can negotiate some details of the contract." Falk said.

Chen Mo nodded, he really couldn't refuse this contract.I am afraid that after the end of the season, the sneaker contract he can sign will not exceed the one in front of him.

Speaking of Chen Mo's contract, yesterday at UA's headquarters in Baltimore, the high-level discussions continued until the early hours of the morning.

In the end, the president of the company, Kevin Plank, overcame all objections and directly finalized such a contract.

"I have observed him for a long time, he is a suitable player for us, and he is still Chinese, which will help us implement next year's China strategy." Kevin Plank said at the final decision: "Wait until the end of the season, or the whole After the star, Nike and Adidas will start to face up to his value, then we will join their ranks, we have no advantage."

"I admit that this is a big gamble, but we have a great chance of winning. It has been more than a month since he broke out, and he is still releasing his potential. In addition, after he was dropped by Zach in Memphis, I noticed that the bodysuit he was wearing under the jersey was from Adidas, we have to get him to change those to Under Armour, too!"

At one o'clock in the afternoon, in Falke's reception room, Chen Mo met Adam Peek, the executive vice president of global marketing of Under Armor.

After introducing each other, several people directly cut to the topic, "Mr. Falk, such a huge contract opened your door. Your door is comparable to the White House!"

Falk laughed: "My boss told me that he is unwilling to accept any endorsements before the end of the season. If it weren't for such an irresistible contract, I might lose my job."

Chen Mo sat on the sidelines and did not speak from the beginning to the end. He looked at Falk's face full of smiles, but unconsciously remembered the contract that Nike Jordan offered him.

Chen Mo has never signed a sneaker contract, and his explosive performance naturally made many sports brands want to sign him to their names.

But Falk has always wanted Chen Mo to sign with Nike Jordan, so even if Adidas offered a ten-year contract of 1.8 million yuan, he rejected it.After all, Chen Mo said that he didn't want to sign a contract before the end of the season, so it wasn't a violation for him to do so.

But Under Armor's contract is different. This is the largest contract in NBA history, beyond anyone's imagination.In the face of interests, Falk, an old and cunning businessman, naturally threw his friendship with Jordan down the toilet.

Falk is wrangling with Adam Pique, and he is fighting for the best interests of Chen Mo.The old and cunning David Falk naturally refused to give up an inch of ground, and Adam Peek also felt for the first time the negotiating power of the former NBA's number one agent.

In the end, the contract was finalized at 10 million U.S. dollars for 3.5 years, 3% of the shares, and Under Armor would charge $2 for every pair of Chen Mo’s signature shoes sold. The amount is going to be $3.

And Chen Mo wanted to speak for Under Armour's sports equipment, and Chen Mo had no objection to this.

When the negotiation was over, both parties signed their names on the contract without hesitation.Adam Peake said that Chen Mo's first signature shoe will be launched on the first day of 2011, when there is a Bobcats game on that day.

At the same time, on December 12, Chen Mo will go to Baltimore to attend the signing ceremony and press conference, and his first sneaker commercial will also be shot at that time.

Originally, these contents should have been completed in the summer, but who made Chen Mo just a fringe player in the summer?Therefore, when he completed the signing during the season, the time seemed particularly tight.

Chen Mo never thought that his sneaker contract would be so simple, maybe it was like a pie falling from the sky?
Kevin Plank attached great importance to Chen Mo, even Chen Mo himself did not think of it.Last year, Under Armour, which accounted for only 0.2% of the U.S. sneaker market, had to fight hard to shake up Nike, which occupied 95% of the U.S. market.

And what Chen Mo told Falk not to discuss the endorsement contract for the time being, was also wrong.Under Armor, who was eager to make a big move, directly opened Falk's door with a huge contract.

As huge as the contract was Chen Mo's signing fee.

When Chen Mo signed his name on the contract, Adam Peake immediately handed him a check for US$100 million.

The contract was signed very quickly. Under Armour's side had been arguing all night before the president finally agreed to the signing despite all the arguments.

Adam Peak came with the order that Chen Mo must be signed, and he had nothing to hesitate.As for Chen Mo... In the face of such a huge amount of dollars, he has nothing to disagree with.

Without anyone knowing, Chen Mo reached a cooperation with Under Armour.After Adam Pique returned with a contract, Under Armor was destined to be busy.They were going to build momentum for the signing ceremony in a few days, and they also had to prepare for Chen Mo's first-generation signature shoe named "Reaper".

What Chen Mo has to do is to attend the signing conference and participate in the shooting of commercials. The other things are Under Armor's business, so Chen Mo doesn't have much to do. Now he just needs to adjust his state and use the Capital Ball in Washington Team blood to celebrate signing a big contract with Under Armour.
