Chapter 1007 Some things can only be done by yourself

Meng Yun and Bill Duffy have left.

Mei Yuqing was still sitting on the seat, Jason Archer came and sat down beside her, and said, "I talked to Bill Duffy, and he told me he couldn't influence Meng Yun's thoughts. He can't make the decision on the matter of signing, it only depends on Meng Yun's decision. I really don't understand, as Meng Yun's agent, how can Bill Duffy not be able to make the decision at all? Aren't all the things like endorsement and signing signed by the agent? Any ideas?"

"I don't understand either." Mei Yuqing said.

Jason Ah was taken aback: "What don't you understand?"

Mei Yuqing said: "I don't understand why Meng Yun refused. The conditions we gave are not good enough, isn't the sincerity not enough?"

Upon hearing this, Jason Archer stood up and looked at Mei Yuqing in astonishment: "What did you say? You said Meng Yun refused? How could he refuse?"

Jason Archer didn't think that Meng Yun would refuse, because it was a contract that anyone would be tempted to read, so after letting him sit down, he didn't immediately ask Meng Yun if he agreed to renew the contract.Because in his opinion, agreeing to renew the contract is a matter of course, and a fool would refuse.

"This." Jason Archer was about to scold "idiot", but immediately thought of all the things Meng Yun had done, including choosing to sign with Under Armour, insisting that the contract would only be for three years.

Who dares to say that he is a fool, the person who said this is a fool.

But, why did Meng Yun refuse? This is a billion-dollar contract. Jason Archer is jealous when he sees it. He will never earn so much in his life. He also has some shares in Under Armour, but like other companies' share incentives, he only has the right to pay dividends, not the right to trade, and cannot sell the shares in his hand.

And Meng Yun's share can be traded.

These are completely two concepts, and the value is also very different.

Jason Archer can't understand, who would refuse a contract worth a billion dollars, even LeBron James and Kevin Durant can't resist this temptation, right?
"Why is that?" Jason Archer looked at Mei Yuqing seriously. He wondered if there was something inappropriate about Mei Yuqing's conversation with Meng Yun, which annoyed Meng Yun.

Seeing Jason Archer looking at him like this, Mei Yuqing's face darkened, and he said angrily: "Mr. Archer, I also want to convince Meng Yun, this is the task assigned to us by the headquarters. Please believe me, I have already I tried my best. In fact, Meng Yun refused directly as soon as I opened my mouth."

Jason Archer was completely suspicious. Since Meng Yun refused as soon as he spoke, it means that Meng Yun basically didn't think about it, so it wasn't Mei Yuqing's relationship at all, but Meng Yun had already made a decision.

Could it be that Nike or Adidas gave a higher price?

That's unlikely, Jason Archer dismisses it right away.

Although Nike and Adidas have such confidence, they already have many superstars under their umbrella. Except for a few people, such as LeBron James and Kevin Durant, other stars do not have that kind of treatment. Nike and Adidas also I wouldn't be willing to spend such a large amount of money.

After all, Meng Yun is too young, only 22 years old.

Another point is that Nike and Adidas have never been very generous to Chinese players. When Yao Ming performed like that, Nike offered a cabbage price, which made Yao Ming angrily switch to Reebok.

Therefore, it is unlikely that Nike and Adidas will give a higher contract than Under Armor, or even close to it.

As for other brands, it is even more impossible.

There are only so many powerful sneaker brands. Except for Nike and Adidas, only Undermark has made such a big bet, and has the confidence to make such a big bet.

So why did Meng Yun refuse?
Jason Archer asked: "Ms. Mei, why do you think Meng Yun refused?"

Mei Yuqing shook his head: "Mr. Archer, I can't figure it out either. And Meng Yun refused without much thought. Faced with a billion dollars, what made him so decisive?"

Neither could figure it out, but there was no doubt that their mission had failed this time.

Moreover, even a billion dollars can't impress Meng Yun, it is basically impossible for Under Armor to renew the contract with Meng Yun.

on the car.

Bill Duffy asked: "Meng Yun, that's a billion dollars. Why did you refuse? You should know that that is the greatest sincerity that Under Armor can show. Even Nike and Adidas, I'm afraid You will not be given such a contract."

From Jason Archer, Bill Duffy knew the existence of the billion-dollar contract, and he was shocked at the time. He has been an agent for so many years and has so many players under his management, and he has never had such a contract. treatment.

This is no longer a sky-high price, but the sky-high price of sky-high prices.

At that time, his first reaction was to "agree". He was afraid that Under Armor would go back on his word, but he never thought that Meng Yun would refuse.

"Bill." Meng Yun said with a smile, "You should know that I entrust Brother Zhao to start a company, and plan to develop my own sneaker brand after the contract with Under Armor expires."

"I know." Bill Duffy nodded, and said again: "But I don't think you can earn more than this contract by making your own sneaker brand."

Meng Yun didn't hide Bill Duffy about his own sneaker brand, and he also believed that Bill Duffy would not reveal it.

Bill Duffy has indeed been keeping the secret, but he doesn't think Meng Yun can earn a billion dollars by making his own sneaker brand.

Even at the beginning, he persuaded Meng Yun.

With Meng Yun's current popularity, it is certain that he will make money by making his own sneaker brand, but it is hard to say how much he will earn, and it may not be a billion dollars.

So Bill Duffy was puzzled.

Meng Yundao: "Bill, the reason why I insist on building my own sneaker brand is that earning money is only secondary. The most important thing is that I want to do something, and this company is just a tool. And, what I want to do, Ann Dema can't do it, I can only do it myself."

Starting this company and making his own sneaker brand, Meng Yun's ultimate goal is to use this company as a tool to train more basketball talents.

Under Armor can actually do this kind of thing, as can Nike and Adidas, but they will never do it with their heart, let alone in China.

Because you have to do it with your heart, the price is not small, and the cost is huge. Whether it is Under Armour, Nike, or Adidas, their goal is to make money, and it is not their goal to train basketball talents for China.

Some things can only be done by yourself, and there is no way to rely on others.

So even if a billion dollars was in front of him, Meng Yun still refused.
