NBA: Miller moment at the start

There are many sneaker brands that are interested in cooperating with Wangba.

Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, Reebok, even Mizuno, Puma, Umbro, and other brands that do not make basketball shoes have come to join in the fun.

They participated in the bidding with the intention of picking up bargains.

Nike was still a very small sports goods company back then. It signed Jordan and became the current overlord of basketball shoes, stepping on Adidas.

If they can sign Wangba, maybe they can also rise?

The technology of basketball shoes is not difficult for them. They can make them immediately if there is a market, but for Wangba, they are not a good choice.

He has two choices, Nike or domestic products.

Bill Duffy is helpless:

"Nike is willing to give a signing fee of 20 million US dollars per year, but there must be restrictive clauses. As for the special clauses you requested, they are unwilling to agree."

Enterprises cannot do without politics.

If there really comes a time when they need to take a stand, Nike will definitely stand on the opposite side of China, and then they will face huge compensation.

Of course,

Money is not a problem, but we cannot set a precedent.

If everyone follows Wang Ba, and every player signs with Nike and requires special terms and can terminate the contract, how can they constrain the players?

Wang Ba doesn't care:

"What do domestic brands say? Can they agree to the offer we give?"

"They have clearly rejected the offer."

"Reject? 4 million US dollars is not high, they are unwilling to give it?"

Wang Ba's tone was very bad.

He was inclined to sign with domestic brands, but the price given by domestic brands was really unbearable, so he asked Bill Duffy to give a 4 million US dollar offer.

You should know that the prices given by Nike and Adidas are all over 10 million US dollars, and even Mizuno, Puma, and Umbro start at 5 million US dollars.

He gave 4 million US dollars, which can be said to be a conscience price.

Some people would say that the endorsement fees of domestic brands must be calculated in RMB. 4 million US dollars is 28 million RMB, which is simply a sky-high price. It is a lion's mouth. Not really! In order to expand the international market, the three well-known domestic sports brands have signed a group of top stars in the NBA. In 2012, a certain Ning company signed a 10-year, $100 million contract with Wade, which is one of the most expensive endorsement contracts in the history of Chinese sports brands. In addition, a certain Ning reached a lifetime endorsement agreement with Wade, making him the global image spokesperson of the Li Ning brand. According to reports, the contract has partial equity and a large amount of cash and stock rewards. Let's talk about Anta. The annual average endorsement fee of the endorsement contract with Klay Thompson will be as high as 10 million US dollars, breaking 100 million US dollars in 10 years, and it has partial equity. That is to say, domestic brands are able to offer contracts worth tens of millions of dollars.

If Wang Ba's status is not enough and he cannot be equal to Wade and Clyde, then Rooney can be said.

Anta cooperates with Rooney.

The contract period is 3 years, the total value is 25.5 million US dollars, and the annual salary in the first year is 7 million US dollars.

Wang Ba is not as good as Rooney?

Or do they think that Wang Ba only has the domestic market and no foreign market?

Given the opportunity but not grasped, Wang Ba was too lazy to tell them, but he was still very hesitant to choose Nike. At this time, things took a turn for the better.

"Why are you here?"

Wang Ba was blocked by someone when he returned to the apartment after completing training.

The cheap father with a dark face and the cheap mother with red eyes were strange and familiar.

Strange because he traveled through time, familiar because he merged the soul of the original host, and inexplicably felt a sense of intimacy.

Of course,

The only one who was kind was Lin Meilan, and the cheap father and the original host were not close.

"My dear son, you've lost weight."

Lin Meilan held Wang Ba's eyes with tears in her eyes. Wang Ba tried to persuade her to stop crying.

She held him for a long time after entering the apartment. When it was time for dinner, she said she wanted to cook for Wang Ba, but she found that there was no seasoning ingredients in the kitchen.

"I'll go buy vegetables and cook, and talk to your dad."

Lin Meilan knew that her husband had something to say, so she went out to buy things and gave the time to Wang Lin.

No matter how much they quarreled or made a fuss, they would never joke about the family business.

As soon as she left, the father and son were silent, and it was Wang Lin who took the initiative to speak:

"Is everything okay in the United States?"

"It's okay."

"Is your career going well?"

"It's going well."

"That..."

"Dad, if you have something to say, just tell me."

Wang Lin's old face flushed. He could remain calm in the face of extreme situations, but why was it so difficult to talk to his son?

"Have you finalized your sneaker contract?"

"Not yet."

"Have you considered domestic brands?"

Wang Ba was a little surprised. You are a real estate agent, why do you care about this?

"I amConsidering domestic brands, but they are not willing to give 4 million US dollars, maybe they should consider foreign brands. "

"Huili will give 5 million US dollars, how about signing with Huili?"

"Huili?"

Lin Ziru's figure appeared in Wang Ba's mind:

"Huili asked you to be a lobbyist? ? "

"It's about the same, just tell me if it's okay, if you think the price is too low, you can increase it."

Wang Lin was full of confidence, but Wang Ba shook his head directly:

"I won't consider Huili, no matter how much money you give me."

"Why?"

"They have never made basketball shoes. How long will it take for them to accumulate technology? Do I have to bet my own health and let them do experiments? ”

Puma and Umbro have the technical background, and they can make basketball shoes if they really want to. But Wang Ba didn’t choose them because they are not professional.

The three major domestic brands at least make basketball shoes, and they are pretty good. Huili can’t even make sports shoes well, so how can it expect to make basketball shoes?

They dare to make them, but Wang Ba doesn’t dare to wear them. It’s not a matter of money at all.

Wang Lin didn’t give up:

“If Huili can get the technology, will you cooperate?”

“Dad, what is your relationship with Huili?”

“I will talk about my relationship with Huili later. I just want to ask you, if Huili can acquire advanced basketball technology and even cooperate with international brands, are you willing to sign?”

Wang Ba always felt that his cheap dad was weird, as if he was lobbying for Huili:

“Whether to sign or not depends on the specific situation, and I also need to discuss it with my agent. ”

Signing a contract with sneakers is very important to players. It is not only about the brand’s popularity, but more importantly, the protection of sneakers for players.

There are quite a few players who have been injured because of sneakers.

For example, Yao Ming.

He retired due to a serious injury, partly because of the problem with sneakers.

Although Nike’s sneakers may have problems, in general, they are indeed the best in terms of science and technology.

Even if Huili acquires technology, it will not be very mature. Wang Ba will not hand over his health to them.

Wang Lin did not persuade him again.

He did not think too much and thought that the shoes were similar. It would be better to sign with anyone.

Now that Wang Ba said this, he really couldn’t rashly let his son sign with Huili. It would be better to find a mature company to cooperate with!
