NBA: Starting with the Devil’s Eyes

Los Angeles, Lu Yu’s house.

“Lu, I’ve already figured out the location of the store.”

“When will your goods come over?”

On this day, Lu Yu’s agent Jeff Austin came to his house.

Lu Yu said: “Soon, you will quickly complete the decoration of the store and try to open it before 1993.” ”

“I think it can be opened around December 20th, and by Christmas, there is a high probability that you can make a big profit.”

“If we are here, we have already started shipping to this side, you get the warehouse done first.”

“When the goods from the Celestial Empire continue to be shipped over, it is equivalent to money, which will continue to enter your wallet.”

After hearing the description that Lu Yu gave himself, Jeff Austin was a little warm.

Lu Yu’s popularity in Los Angeles is really hot now.

And now, Lu Yu has also begun to wear his sneakers to play in the league.

His sneaker design is definitely one of the best sneakers of this era!

If you say, let Lu Yu use which pair of shoes in the future to describe his current sneakers.

That’s almost the face of Kobe’s fifth generation.

Whether it is performance or design, it is all a full existence!

“By the way, the advertiser we contacted, how’s it going?”

If you want to open the market, you must advertise.

Because now Lu Yu Sports is only operating in Los Angeles.

Therefore, Lu Yu now only plans to place advertisements near California.

In this way, advertising costs can be reduced.

“Get in touch, you still need to shoot a sneaker advertisement here.”

“Also, the billboards in Los Angeles are ready.”

One by one, Jeff Austin listed the things that needed to be done recently.

Lu Yu nodded.

At present, Lu Yu Sports’ entry into the United States is steadily advancing.

If it were to other people, they would think that this speed is too fast, right?

But in half a year, it will directly impact the US market?

But in Lu Yu’s opinion, this matter is not fast

All the joints, they have all been unblocked.

Just spread the goods, and you’re good to go.

Moreover, Lu Yu still chose someone he trusted to open a franchise store.

And he was already cautious, just opening this store in Los Angeles.

In the future, other cities will also slowly open up.

But that will have to wait until half a year later.

Only after this store in Los Angeles has been open for half a year, Lu Yu will consider opening stores in other cities.

“By the way, Coca-Cola’s contract, they raised the offer over there.”

“And it’s a little higher than your previous psychological price.”

“They offered a contract amount of 1.8 million! I think it’s okay to sign it. ”

When Lu Yu heard this, he also said: “It should indeed be signed, if it drags on any longer, it is estimated that it will be impatient over there.” ”

The two men were discussing things, on the TV, the sports channel was starting to broadcast highlights of the best NBA games from the last month.

“Hehe, on this episode, your picture occupies a lot!”

Looking at the picture on the TV, Jeff Austin turned to Lu Yu and said.

“Also, did you give you the best trophy of the month?”

Austin asked.

“I don’t know, the Lakers uniform team should handle this matter.”

Lu Yu said.

Now it’s December 1st.

November has passed.

In the past month, the Lakers have played 11 games.

Under the leadership of Lu Yu, the Lakers scored a 10-1 record.

In these 11 games.

Lu Yu can shoot 52%+42%+91%, averaging 27.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 12.7 assists, 3.1 steals and 1.8 blocks per game.

Competing with him for the Player of the Month, Michael Jordan.

Danzi’s data for the first month is actually quite good.

Averaged 52%+38%+86% shooting per game, 31.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.3 blocks.

Led the team to a 9-3 record.

The score is indeed much more than Lu Yu.

But Lu Yu’s assist statistics are more than twice that of Jordan.

Moreover, he led the team to 10 wins.

Jordan has only led the team to nine wins.

Moreover, in the game between the Bulls and the Lakers, Lu Yu directly cut a + triple-double to complete Jordan’s.

In this way, the award for the best of the month can only remain in Lu Yu’s hands.

During a conversation between two people.

Outside, there was the sound of the car stalling.

The madman pushed the door in, “Yo, Jeff is here, I haven’t seen you for a long time~’.” ”

Since the beginning of the season, Jeff Austin has been busy on the go, looking for endorsements for Lu Yu and them, and he has to be busy opening a store alive.

This time it was not a contract with Coca-Cola and a matter of specialty stores, and Austin would not come.

“Latriel, I have good news for you.”

At this point, Jeff Austin took two contracts out of his briefcase.

One is Lu Yu and Coca-Cola.

The other is for the madman.

“Oh?”

Do I have endorsements too?

The madman was a little surprised.

You know, as a rookie player, he basically gets paid a dead salary.

He didn’t have the luxury of having an endorsement.

So when Jeff Austin came out to endorse the contract.

The madman was still a little surprised.

“You don’t look at my abilities either.”

Austin boasted, and then said, “It’s better to be a big city like Los Angeles.” The exposure is really high. ”

“If you go to another team, you really don’t necessarily get this endorsement contract.”

“Like Robert (Hory), I talked to several manufacturers about endorsements, and people haven’t even heard of his name…”

The madman shrugged his shoulders and said, “It’s all fate, there is no way.” ”

Then came to the coffee table, reached out and took the endorsement contract, and glanced at it.

“I lean on?”

“Takibel endorsement??”

The brand Takebel, even in 2023, Lu Yu’s previous life, is rarely heard of in China, or even never heard of.

But in the United States, especially in California, the brand has a great reputation.

Let’s put it this way, under the Pepsi brand, there is a business unit called Taikang Global Catering Company.

Taikang Catering Company’s catering brands include KFC, Pizza Hut, and this Takibel.

Compared to KFC and Pizza Hut, Takibel is only slightly inferior!

According to Lu Yu’s understanding, in the future, in 1998, Taikang Global Catering Company also changed its name to Yum Global Restaurant Group and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

“I lean! No way! No way! ”

The madman looked at the contract and almost said to Austin: I went to your house in the evening.

“This… How did you get this? ”

Madman asked.

Austin smiled and said, “When Lu Yu played the Bulls before, he didn’t eat that one called … Pancakes…”

“Pancake fruit.” The madman is already very familiar with these four words.

“Yes, yes, pancake fruit looks a lot like taco.” Austin said: “So Takbel originally wanted to find Lu Yu to endorse him. ”

However, Lu Yu has Coca-Cola’s endorsement, and Takbel’s parent company is Pepsi. There is some rivalry between the two. ”

Lu Yu naturally knows Taco, and in his previous life, James often called Taco-Tuesday this Taco.

This is a Mexican-style burrito.

Austin continued: “And the price offered by Takbel was not as good as Coca-Cola, so I declined Takbel’s invitation to endorse. ”

“But I brought it up again and asked you to endorse it. They finally agreed. ”

Hearing Austin say this, the madman understood:

“I didn’t get this endorsement because I was in Los Angeles.” (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

“It’s because I’m with Lu Yu! As long as I follow Lu Yu, I can row Rada without slipping, and row Ramane!! ”

Austin spread his hands and said: “You are not wrong to say that~”

The madman rummaged through the contract and found the amount.

“100,000? Or after taxes! It’s not bad too~”

He paid all kinds of taxes and fees in a whole season’s salary, and he was left with 400,000.

With this endorsement contract, he can have his own one-quarter salary a year, which is very good in his opinion.

Then he reached out to look at Lu Yu’s Coca-Cola endorsement contract.

“Haha, I’m not much worse than Lu Yu.”

“He’s only 180,000~”

The madman laughed happily.

Then it was found that Lu Yu and Austin were looking at him with the eyes of fools.

He lowered his head and counted again: “One, ten, hundred, thousand, thousand, one hundred thousand, million…”

Then his eyes were dull and he looked at the ceiling.

After a while, he wailed loudly:

“Woo-hoo, 1.8 million??”

“I’m not alive!!”

Austin said: “It would be nice to have 100,000, Robert (Hory) is worse than you.” ”

“You still have manufacturers willing to make offers.”

“When I went to Robert two days ago to talk about endorsements, 50,000 yuan people were unwilling to give.”

With such a comparison, the madman immediately balanced his heart.

As for Lu Yu?

He was really out of reach.

It’s good to have 100,000.

“By the way, how much did Takbel open to Lu Yu before?”

Austin looked at the madman and asked, “‘Are you sure you want to hear it?’ ”

“I’m afraid you’ll jump off the building.”

Lu Yu said on the side: “It’s okay, this is the first floor, and he can’t die if he jumps off the building.” ”

“Hahahaha~”

When Austin heard this, he smiled and said to the madman: “Then tell you.” ”

“Takbel gave Lu Yu 500,000 before.”

The madman felt his heart being clenched fiercely.

It hurts, it hurts!

Give Lu Yu 500,000.

Come to me, just give me 100,000!

After speaking, Austin clapped his hands and said:

“Okay, you guys put the contract away, and after the people from these two companies arrive in two days, we will sign the contract in person.”

The madman put away the contract and looked at the one in Lu Yu’s hand again.

1.8 million, ah, 1.8 million!

However, he was still very grateful to Lu Yu.

“Lu, when you let me eat two pancake fruits, you let me row 10 dabu yu.”

“I’ll follow you all my life!”

The madman immediately took an oath of allegiance.

Lu Yu smiled and said, “Don’t eat pancake fruit in the future, you have to eat Taco instead.” ”

“I see if there is a clause in the contract, and in the future, if there is a photo of you appearing with pancake fruit, you will lose money?”

The madman sighed and said, “Actually, the pancake fruit is delicious.” Taco wasn’t interesting at all. ”

“But for the money, I put up with it!”

For this signing of the madman, Lu Yu has no opinion.

His signing will definitely not be able to impact the pancake fruit industry.

Where are there catering companies making pancake fruits in the United States now?

There are no more than 5 pancake stalls in Chinatown…

……

November has passed.

The Lakers have a 10-1 record and are heading out for December.

At the same time, Wang Zuxian’s Christmas holiday is getting closer and closer.

On this day, after calling Wang Zuxian, Lu Yu came to the refrigerator and looked at the schedule posted on the refrigerator.

On December 3rd, they’re going to play a visit to the Rockets.

It’s December 1, and the team will most likely leave for Texas tomorrow.

Lu Yu thought for a while, but still called Huo Li over.

“Robert, how’s it going?”

“It’s very good, after our Alabama Sanjie entered the NBA, they are all proper main starting positions~”

That’s true.

Since entering the NBA, Lu Yu, Madman, and Horry have all been starters.

Horry was on the Rockets’ side, playing the starting small forward position.

It’s different from other NCAA players.

Horry, he really has the ability to swing up front.

His ability to project is also the reason why the Rockets put them in the starting lineup.

“We’re going to Houston tomorrow.”

“You’ll have to entertain us then.”

“Hospitality?” Horry on the other side of the phone shouted, “I’m a fart!” ”

“Don’t think I don’t know, Jeff told me, you two signed endorsements.”

“Come to Houston quickly, help the poor, I’m dying of poverty!!”

Horry began crying on the phone.

After chatting for a while, Lu Yu hung up the phone.

The next morning, the Lakers set off for Houston.

But this time the trip to Houston was a bit relaxing.

Because they don’t need to play three away games in Texas, just one away game against the Rockets.

When I saw this schedule, the old players of the Lakers were very happy.

Presumably, for so many years, they have also been very uncomfortable by the Texas three-in-a-row customers.

After landing in Houston, Lu Yu and the madman went out of the hotel to find Hory.

“You’re here.”

“Rich guys, V50! Take the poor buddies to Joviality! “。
