NBA: Starting with James Harden

After adding the points.

Li Zhen saw a call from his agent Pelinka on his phone, and he called back immediately.

Pelinka looked for Li Zhen mainly about the sneaker contract.

Because Li Zhen's rise was so fast, it exceeded the estimates of many sneaker manufacturers, and his sneaker prices were also rising.

Li Zhen's basic requirement for negotiating the offer with Pelinka was also very simple, that is, to compare the sneaker prices of other All-Star players.

If it doesn't reach the same level as the All-Stars, Li Zhen is not interested in listening!

For Li Zhen, the sneaker price below the All-Star level is a loss-making business. He would rather lose a year.

"Li, there are several shoe manufacturers that can meet your requirements."Pelinka said.

Regarding Li Zhen's shoe endorsement, Pelinka felt that Li Zhen's asking price was too high at first, and he might not have hope this year.

But unexpectedly, Li Zhen had 2 50+ triple-doubles this month.

The first time, the shoe manufacturers all increased their offers significantly, but they were still a little short of the mark.

But the second time Li Zhen cut 50+ triple-doubles again, the shoe manufacturers called one after another, and they could meet Li Zhen's requirements.

""Rob, tell me about it." Li Zhen said.

Sneaker endorsement is a big money-making business, so Li Zhen naturally cannot ignore it.

"Adidas 10 years 180 million US dollars"

"Nike 8 years, $150 million + signature shoes"

"Li Ning offers 150 million US dollars + signature shoes for the first 10 years. After 10 years, you can choose to extend it to a lifetime contract."

"UA (Under Armour) offers 48 million US dollars for 4 years + 20 million US dollars worth of company shares priced at the price on the day of signing."

After listening to the four offers, Li Zhen thought about it.

These offers are even similar to those of Kobe and James, mainly because of the market reasons behind Li Zhen.

Li Zhen is the only guard idol among 1.3 billion people.

Guards have to sell shoes more than centers, and Yao Ming and Li Zhen cannot be simply compared.

Although the average annual contract price of these four offers seems to be similar, each offer has its own characteristics.

Li Zhen can get a 5% commission for every pair of signature shoes sold, and this income is also very important.

If Li Zhen's shoes can sell well, both parties can make a lot of money.

The first two offers are very regular signature shoe contracts.

The domestic brand Li Ning is pretty good to Li Zhen, a lifetime contract, which is similar to the one between Iverson and Rui. The contract signed by Step is similar in nature.

Don't underestimate such a lifetime contract. Although you won't get much money after retirement, maybe only two or three million per year, but after bankruptcy, Iverson relied on this contract to make his life no longer difficult.

However, the first three offers were not as good as the last one.

It suits Li Zhen's idea of time being short and equity.

Although Under Armour's 20 million equity is not very good now, but in the past life, it was more valuable than the first three contracts.

Li Zhen remembered that after Curry signed with Under Armour, Under Armour took off and their stock price continued to rise.

In addition to Curry's own influence, it also shows the potential of their company itself.

Without too much hesitation

""Rob, sign a contract with Under Armour." Li Zhen said on the phone.

Li Zhen has no interest in sneaker brands, he only cares about the benefits!

A four-year contract is about the same. If it's too short, no brand will be willing to sign it.

"OK！！"Pelinka breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't care who Li Zhen signed with. Any of the four companies would do. The contracts were all obtained by Pelinka after a long period of negotiation with various brands. The price was already the best and further negotiation would not raise it much.

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhen touched his beating heart.

After signing the sneaker endorsement contract, he would directly increase his income by nearly 20 million US dollars every year.

Li Zhen was thinking about how to deal with the money.

He would set up an investment company to invest in emerging industries.

Originally, Li Zhen had no desire for money because he felt that enough money was enough. But after pursuing Reba, Li Zhen discovered that Reba's income would be very high in the future. If he made less money than her, wouldn't he be unable to suppress her? This would not work. He must suppress her.

...................

This is not the first time that Li Zhen has scored a 50+ triple-double. Although the media is still hyping it up, the shock it caused to them is not as great as the first time.

This is also because their expectations and understanding of Li Zhen have increased.

Li Zhen's strength is well known to the outside world. Although this guy is a substitute, his strength is that of an All-Star, and he can perform like a superstar from time to time.

With this definition of Li Zhen's strength, Li Zhen's performance can be understood.

However, in the hearts of Dallas fans, Li Zhen's popularity has become crazy after last night's game. He has become the second favorite star of Dallas fans, second only to Nowitzki.

Li Zhen's position does not overlap with Nowitzki. Many fans like Li Zhen as well as Nowitzki.

The next morning, when Li Zhen drove his sports car to the training hall, his sports car was stopped by a group of female fans who wanted to take a photo with him.

Li Zhen is always very friendly to female fans. He did not let the security guards drive away these lovely female fans, but rolled down the window in the car and started signing autographs for female fans.

Some female fans were very bold and asked Li Zhen to sign on their underwear, but Li Zhen politely refused.

"How did you know I was here for training?" Li Zhen asked curiously.

"The fan club knows your training time and when you leave the stadium." said a white female fan

"Fan Club?"Li Zhen was a little surprised

"Yes, there are many female fans who like you, and we gathered together to form this fan club." The female fan continued

"Are there a lot of people here?" Li Zhen didn't know how long he had been signing his name, but he felt that there were at least a hundred female fans here.

"There are almost 1,000 people, all girls, we all like you." The female fans shouted to Li Zhen excitedly.

Li Zhen is a little fat, not the kind of visual muscle player, but the girls think Li Zhen is very charming and cute.

"Well, thank you....."

Mavericks teammates drove their cars to the door and greeted Li Zhen.

Li Zhen was the only one in the Dallas Mavericks team who could enjoy such a blessing. Other players have no chance to have such a good fortune.

After signing autographs for more than a hundred girls, Li Zhen declined their requests for photos. He had to hurry to the training hall because he was almost late.

Li Zhen drove a Porsche and hummed a song all the way to the underground parking lot.

He avoided the scare caused by the mascot on the way, kicked the mascot and arrived at the locker room happily.

""Good morning, Jason!"

Li Zhen greeted Kidd familiarly.

After greeting his teammates, another day of training began.
