Standing pretty old

Chapter 32 Confidence

The cooperation with the state media was unexpectedly smooth, and it was neither hacked nor unspoken. (Director Zhang: I'm not gay, please respect yourself if you have a big brain. Voiceover: You always calm down, I really don't mean that!)

Ruan Xueba's comment on this is that when your strength has reached this level, you will naturally be respected accordingly.

There are always people who like to put conspiracy theories first, but the fact is that if you don't have strength, you don't even have the chance to be conspired, and the trivialities and bad luck of life are enough to destroy a small person.

After finishing the exclusive interview with the court station, Ruan Erniu, under the arrangement of Leon Ross, made a simple media conference, which was held in the conference hall of the CAA headquarters in Los Angeles.

Before the press conference, Ruan Erniu officially signed the contract with CAA and announced the news at the press conference.At the same time, he also showed the entry form he will submit to the NBA at the press conference.

As usual, the media asked Ruan Erniu about his expectations for the future draft pick. Ruan Erniu still said conservatively: "My established goal has not changed, and I hope to be selected in the top five. It doesn't matter who is selected. .Of course, I want to go to the team that can give me a starting position!"

The press conference ended quickly, although Ruan Erniu was a figure who called the wind and rain in the NCAA.But in the NBA, he still needs to show enough results to prove his status.The US media still maintains a wait-and-see attitude towards the future achievements of this Chinese man who has achieved great success in his country's college basketball circle.

After the press conference, Leon Ross stopped Er Niu and asked Er Niu to come to his office.

In front of Ruan Erniu is a sneaker contract, although the terms and conditions are very complicated.But Ruan Erniu still read it carefully from beginning to end. After reading it, he found himself trembling with excitement.

He said to Leon with some difficulty: "Aren't you kidding me? If I can do everything in the terms, doesn't it mean that I can get more than 8000 million US dollars?"

Leon Rose took out a bottle of red wine from somewhere, and said to Ruan Erniu: "And the contract period is only 6 years, this key point must not be forgotten! By the way, do you want to drink some?"

Ruan Erniu shook his head, saying that he must maintain a good competitive state and not drink casually.

Leon Rose said with a smile: "Very well, athletes have strict requirements on themselves, which will help prolong the life of sports. In fact, you don't have to be surprised. When James was not in the NBA, he also signed a 7-year 9000 million contract. As far as I know, NIKE will soon sign Kevin Durant to a 7-year, 6000 million-meter contract. So your 6-year 8000 million is not too exaggerated."

Ruan Erniu still shook his head and said, "But I'm an inside player. Didn't the Internet say insiders don't sell shoes?"

Leon laughed loudly and said, "Who said that? In competitive sports, the strong are always respected. How can insiders not sell shoes? Could it be that Garnett and Duncan's sneaker sales are also fraudulent? As for why you can get this The contract, I can only say that you have caught up with the good times, Adidas can't even come up with a top card recently, they are impatient!"

Ruan Erniu was puzzled and said, "How to say?"

Leon moved the computer monitor over, and it showed a poster of "No Brothers, No Basketball".

Then, he said: "There is no need to introduce these five players, you should know them all! T-MAC is getting lazy now, and he has long since lost the courage of the scoring champion. Together with your star-level compatriot, you can't Led the Rockets to the second round of the playoffs. Billups, Garnett, and Duncan are getting older, and their appeal is no longer what they used to be. As for Arenas, he seems to be very popular in the past two years, but he was very good at the beginning. Did not show the superstar value, Adi made a lot of money from him, but never treated him as the top card. Kraft, tell me, who is Adi's top card now?"

Ruan Erniu immediately understood what Leon meant. He nodded and said, "That is to say, if I sign this agreement, I will be Adidas' top basketball card!"

Leon took a sip of his wine, nodded and said: "That's right, competitive sports have always been the game of the king of kings, what's called 'no brothers, no basketball' is a joke in itself, to change this situation, of course Adi must be the first Time to find a reliable player to support the situation, to be honest, what they originally wanted to find was Kevin Durant, and the price is better than NIKE, 7 million dollars in 7000 years!"

Ruan Erniu asked suspiciously: "Why didn't Durant agree? Don't you Americans always say that business is business?"

Leon took another sip of his wine, then shook his glass and said: "But the promotion ability of a sneaker dealer is also a business. Obviously, Durant obviously believes more in the commercial promotion ability of NIKE, which he cooperated with before high school! However, I personally think that this choice may not be correct for Durant. No, to be precise, it should be said that Durant lacks confidence in himself!"

Ruan Erniu directly found the main point this time: "Because NIKE still has James, so the biggest promotion efforts will not be on Durant?"

Leon nodded and said: "I really didn't misunderstand you. You, like your compatriots, have a high IQ. KD chose NIKE. The subtext is that he can't be a big brother, and he doesn't care! What about you? Kraft, are you right? How do you see your future?"

Ruan Erniu smiled and directly picked up a pen to sign his name on the contract.

He said to Leon: "I want to be the best one!"

Leon Rose put down his glass, copied the contract in his hand, and said in a confident tone: "Soon, the news media will say: 'Adidas is crazy; Chinese people are overrated; Leon Rose is a vampire', this Those who help the wall will never understand what a grand strategy is!"

Things were just as Leon expected, just as the media cheered and sang praises for Kevin Durant's 7-year sky-high contract of 6000 million yuan, saying that the next alliance ruler was about to be born.

Once Ruan Erniu's 6-year 8000 million was announced, they directly strangled their climax in the ascending channel.Countless people kept questioning, as if Ruan Erniu's MOP and NCAA championship fell from the sky.

Racial discrimination and national discrimination have never been far away, and freedom has never belonged to the weak.

Fortunately, Er Niu has already been mentally prepared. He can continue his studies at UCLA with peace of mind and strive for more credits.After going to the NBA, it may not be so easy for him to find time to come back to study.

Of course, basketball did not let go, he must use his actual actions to prove that he is worthy of everything he has gained.

However, there is one thing that Ruan Erniu is always worried about, that is, to put aside his studies and directly enter the NBA. Will his parents in his hometown agree?
It's not that he hasn't thought about the consequences of cutting first and playing later, it's just that he has been unwilling to face it!
Ruan Erniu didn't dare to call his parents directly, so he decided to find out through his elder brother Ruan Daniu first.

After Ruan Xueba received the call from his second brother, he taunted, "You know you're scared now, kid? Why did you go so early?"

Ruan Erniu Nuonuo said: "Isn't this a discussion with you? Brother, why don't you play the side drum for me first?"

Ruan Xueba smiled and said, "Are you kidding me? You can call back right now, your parents must be waiting for your good news!"
