I am super giant

Chapter 124 Sneaker Contract Negotiation
November 11, the Cavaliers rest day.

Ye Feng had no time to rest, he sat at the negotiating table with Zhang Mofu.

On the other side of the table is Kevin Plank, the founder and CEO of Under Armour.

The two sides exchanged simple greetings and got straight to the point.

"We intend to sign Mr. Ye Feng as our spokesperson. I don't know what Mr. Ye Feng thinks about it?"

Kevin Plank was a little nervous. After all, he heard that Nike had recently found Zhang Mofu again, hoping to restart the second round of negotiations.

When Nike is not in, Under Armor is still competitive.

But compared with Nike, Under Armor is nothing. After all, it is only a small company established in 1996. It is small in scale and not well-known, and it can't even give Nike a big contract.

You know, until today, Under Armor has not signed any decent sports star.

If it wasn't for Nike's repentance to leave before, Under Armor would not even dare to come to the door.

Ye Feng understood what Kevin Plank meant, but he was afraid of his own sincerity, and it was simply a formality.

"If possible, I hope to sign a lifetime endorsement contract with Under Armour."

Ye Feng expressed his sincerity.

Only in this way can the two sides have a basis for negotiation.

"."

But Kevin Plank was taken aback, and the whole person was skeptical.

In fact, let alone him, even Zhang Mofu on the side was taken aback, and wanted to stop Ye Feng several times.

Where is such a negotiation?

Even if you really think so, you can't say it out, isn't it telling others what you want, and letting others know the details, how can you negotiate?

"Mo Fu, call Nike now and decline their invitation!"

However, Ye Feng's next sentence scared Zhang Mofu even more.

In any case, even if the talks with Under Armor fail, signing with Nike is the way out.

Besides, in Zhang Mofu's view, signing with Nike is a way that is [-] times better than Under Armor, how can it be cut off directly.

"Boss, this"

Zhang Mofu hesitated a little, wanted to persuade Ye Feng, but didn't know how to say it.

"Do as I say!"

Ye Feng said expressionlessly.

"Yes!"

Zhang Mofu could only agree.

He knew Ye Feng well, Ye Feng either didn't make a decision, but once he did, he would say what he said.

In any case, he was only working for Ye Feng, and he had to do what Ye Feng wanted, even if he thought it was wrong.

So, Zhang Mofu really picked up the phone and dialed Nike.

Kevin Plank wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Ye Feng.

Now, he understood Ye Feng's sincerity, it was really enough.

The phone call was over quickly, although the person from Nike on the opposite side looked bewildered and in an unbelievable state.

"Nike has always rejected others, but now someone actively rejects Nike?"

I couldn't believe it on the other side of the phone.

Ye Feng took the phone in Zhang Mofu's hand, turned it on to the hands-free mode, and said calmly: "I want to remind you, this is not the first time. Just this year, Yao Ming also rejected your four-year 160 million contract. .As for the reason, you should know."

After speaking, Ye Feng hung up the phone without waiting for any reaction from the other party.

The matter of Yao Ming's refusal to Nike caused a lot of trouble in the city.

It's easy to say, as the No. 2002 pick in 2003, Nike gave Yao Ming a four-year contract extension offer of $160 million in [-].

At the same time, the contract they signed Kobe was 5 million U.S. dollars for 4500 years, while James, the No. 2003 pick in 9000, was [-] million U.S. dollars.

Well, we can't compare to Kobe, we can bear it, there is a gap in strength and fame.

But James, who is also the number one pick, Yao Ming has already gained a foothold in the NBA, and James has not even played a professional game.

Although Yao Ming's rookie season was not very strong, he was also the No. 2 rookie of the year. He had already made his mark in the inside of the Western Conference, and he was only worth $40 a year. This is simply an insulting offer.

Not to mention that Yao Ming did not agree, even if Yao Ming agreed, Huaxia fans would not agree.

Why, our Huaxia No. [-] Scholar is so fucking inferior?
Without saying a word, Yao Ming directly rejected Nike.

Later, Yao Ming was selected to the All-Stars many times, and even became the top voter of the All-Stars, showing the huge Chinese market.And Yao Ming himself surpassed the older O'Neal to become the number one center in the NBA.

At this time, Nike regretted it and once again offered Yao Ming's team a seven-year, $1.2 million contract.

This contract can be regarded as one of the best big contracts at the time, catching up with Jordan, equal to James plus two-thirds of Kobe's contract, almost no one can not be tempted.

However, Yao Ming directly refused and announced that he would never sign with Nike.

"It's not about money, you have to be honest with me!"

This was Yao Ming's explanation to the media, which excited countless Huaxia fans at the time, and even the Western media praised Yao Ming unanimously.

This is our Great Wall of China, which represents the backbone of the Chinese Movement.Money, what a fart, no amount of money can overwhelm this little Chinese giant.

Besides, you, Nike, are not willing to give big contracts, and there are many companies that are willing to give them.

Just after Yao Ming rejected Nike's insulting offer, Reebok immediately saw the right time and offered Yao Ming a big contract.

It is a pity that Reebok was not well managed and would not take advantage of the huge market behind Yao Ming. It was completely acquired by Adidas in 2006.

What happened next, only Ye Feng knew.

But Zhang Mofu and Kevin Plank knew about Yao Ming's refusal of Nike's insulting contract.

At this moment, the two finally understood Ye Feng's intentions.

In fact, Ye Feng had already decided not to sign with Nike when Ye Feng did not perform well and the negotiations were stranded.

There is no emotion in the market, but athletes themselves need to be respected.

Understanding Ye Feng's intention, Zhang Mo bowed his heart.

Such a boss may not be a boss who can make a lot of money, but it is a boss who is convincing and willing to follow.

One word is cool.

You look down on me?Then I still look down on you!

So what about Nike, if you don't sign it, you won't sign it, what can you do to me?
But at the same time, Zhang Mofu felt a little worried.

As a professional broker, he is well versed in negotiation.

It is very unfavorable for the negotiation that Ye Feng cut off the back road like this, and Kevin Plank is likely to take the opportunity to lower the price.

However, "Mr. Ye, I agree to sign with you for four years and 400 million US dollars." Kevin Plank said heartbroken.

400 million for four years, not too big a contract, but for Under Armor at this time, it is already a cut price.

Zhang Mofu's previous estimate was about 50 US dollars a year, and it was impossible to exceed 80 US dollars at most.

Unexpectedly, Kevin Plank was able to offer a price of 100 million US dollars a year, which completely exceeded Zhang Mofu's expectations.

Could it be that Kevin Plank was moved by Ye Feng's sincerity.

There may be some reasons for this, but it is absolutely impossible to be the main reason. A shopping mall is a shopping mall, so what is the relationship.

"Kevin Plank is very smart. He knows that if I cut off the way of Nike, I will not have no way out. Adidas, Reebok, Converse, And1 are willing to give big contracts. There are many companies. Even, Mr. Joe The flying man brand might be willing to give the contract, although he is a sub-brand of Nike, but making money is more important than anything else, so he won't consider Nike's face."

Afterwards, Ye Feng explained to Zhang Mofu in this way.

Countless little stars appeared in Zhang Mofu's eyes at that moment.

This boss, who doesn't understand business negotiation, is completely versed in it!
