Nba: Starting With The Eye Of The Devil

Los Angeles, home of Lu Yu.

"Lu, I've already decided on the location of the store."

"When will your goods come over?"

On this day, Lu Yu's agent, Jeff Austin, came to his home.

Lu Yu said: "Soon, you finish the decoration of the store as soon as possible, and try to open it before 1993."

"I think it is just right to choose to open around December 20th, and there is a high probability that you can make a big profit when you wait until Christmas.

"For our side, it has already started to be shipped here. You should get the warehouse in order first."

"When the goods from the Celestial Dynasty come in a steady stream, it is equivalent to money, and it will continuously enter your wallet."

After hearing Lu Yu's description of himself, Jeff Austin felt a little heartbroken.

Lu Yu's popularity in Los Angeles is just too hot right now.

And now, Lu Yu has also started wearing his sneakers in the league.

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

If you want to let Lu Yu use which pair of shoes from later generations to describe his current sneakers.

That is almost the appearance of Kobe's fifth generation.

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

"By the way, what happened to the advertiser we contacted?"

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

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

Therefore, Lu Yu is now only planning to advertise around California.

In this way, advertising costs can be reduced.

"The contact is made, that is, we don't need to shoot commercials here.

"In addition, the billboards in Los Angeles are also ready."

Jeff Austin made a list of things that need to be done in the near future.

Lu Yu nodded.

From the current point of view, Lu Yu Sports' entry into the United States is progressing steadily.

If it is seen by other people, they will feel that this speed is really too fast, right?

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

But in Lu Yu's view, this matter is not fast

Every joint, they have all dredged.

As long as the goods are distributed, it will be fine.

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

And he has been very cautious, just opened this store in Los Angeles.

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

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

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

"By the way, for Coca-Cola's contract, they have raised their offer."

"And it's a little higher than your previous psychological price."

"They proposed a contract amount of 1.8 million! I think it can be signed."

Hearing this, Lu Yu also said: "It is indeed time to sign the contract. If it drags on, I guess they will get impatient."

The two of them were discussing things. On the TV, the sports channel began to broadcast highlights of the NBA's exciting games in the past month.

"Hehe, your picture takes up a lot in this collection!"

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

"Also, did you get the best trophy of the month?"

Austin asked.

"I don't know, the Lakers uniform team should handle this matter."

Lu Yu said.

It is now December 1st.

November has passed.

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

Under the leadership of Lu Yu, the Lakers achieved a record of 10 wins and 1 loss.

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.

The player who competed with him for the month is Michael Jordan.

Danzi's data in the first month is actually quite good.

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

Led the team to a record of 9 wins and 3 losses.

A lot more.

But Lu Yu's assist data is more than twice that of Jordan.

Moreover, he also led the team to 10 victories.

Jordan led the team to only 9 wins.

Moreover, in the game between the Bulls and the Lakers, Lu Ke directly scored 45+ subjectively and completely defeated Jordan.

In this way, the best award of the month can only be left in Lu Yu's hands.

During the conversation between the two.

Outside, there was the sound of a car turning off.

The madman pushed the door open, "Hey, Jeff is here, long time no see``

Since the start of the season, Jeff Austin has been busy, looking for endorsements for Lu Yu and the others, and he has to be busy with opening a store.

This time, if the contract with Coca-Cola and the specialty store had not been finalized, Austin would not have come.

"Latrier, I have good news for you."

At this time, Jeff Austin took out two contracts from his briefcase.

One is for Lu Yu and Coca-Cola.

The other one is for madmen.

"oh?"

Does it mean that I also have an endorsement?

The madman was a little surprised.

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

He never expected that he could have an endorsement.

So when Jeff Austin came up with an endorsement deal.

The madman was still a little surprised.

"You don't even look at my ability."

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 other teams, you really don't necessarily get this endorsement contract."

"Like Robert (Horry), I found several manufacturers to talk about endorsement, and no one has even heard of his name..."

The madman shrugged and said: "It's all fate, there is no way."

Then he came to the coffee table, reached for the endorsement contract, and glanced at it.

"I rely on?"

"Taker Bell's endorsement?"

Even in Lu Yu's previous life in 2023, the brand of Taco Bell is rarely heard of in China, or even never heard of it.

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

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

Taikang Catering Company's catering brands include KFC, Pizza Hut, and this Taco Bell.

Compared with KFC and Pizza Hut, Taco Bell is just slightly inferior!

According to Lu Yu's understanding, in 1998, Taikang Global Catering Company was renamed Yum! Global Catering Group and listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

"I rely on it! I rely on it! I rely on it!"

The madman looked at the contract and almost said to Austin: I'm going to your house tonight.

"This...how did you get here?"

asked the madman.

Austin laughed: "When Lu Yu played for the Bulls, didn't he eat something called... pancakes..."

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

"Yes, yes, Jianbing Guozi looks very similar to Taco." Austin said, "So Taco Bell originally wanted to find Lu Yu as an endorsement."

"However, Lu Yu has the endorsement of Coca-Cola, and Taco Bell's parent company is Pepsi. There is some competition between the two."

Lu Yu naturally knows about taco. In his previous life, James often called Taco-Tuesday, which is this Taco.

This is a Mexican style burrito.

Austin continued: "And the price offered by Tucker Bell is not as good as Coca-Cola, so I rejected Tacker Bell's endorsement invitation."

"But I brought it up again and asked you to do the endorsement. They finally agreed."

Hearing what Austin said, the madman understood:

"Co-author I can get this endorsement, not because I'm in Los Angeles.

"It's because I'm by Lu Yu's side! As long as I'm by Lu Yu's side, I can paddle Lada and Lamane!!"

Austin spread his hands and said, "You're right~"

The madman looked through the contract and found the amount.

"100,000? After tax! It's not bad~"

After paying all kinds of taxes and fees for his salary for the whole season, there is only 400,000 left.

With this endorsement contract, he can have a quarter of his annual salary, which is pretty good in his opinion.

Then he reached out to check out Lu Yu's Coca-Cola endorsement deal.

"Haha, I'm not much worse than Lu Yu."

"He's only 180,000~"

The madman laughed happily.

Then I found Lu Yu and Austin looking at him like fools.

He bowed his head and counted again: "one, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, million...

Then he stared blankly at the ceiling.

After a while, he wailed loudly:

"Woooo, 1.8 million?"

"I'm not alive!!"

Austin said: "It's not bad to have 100,000. Robert (Horry) is worse than you."

"You still have a manufacturer willing to make an offer."

"When I negotiated endorsement for Robert two days ago, no one was willing to offer 50,000 yuan."

With such a comparison, the madman immediately regained his balance.

As for Lu Yu?

He was beyond hope.

It would be nice to have 100,000.

"By the way, how much did Tucker Bell prescribe for Lu Yu before?"

Austin looked at the madman and asked, "Are you sure you want to hear it?"

"I'm afraid of you jumping off the building."

Lu Yu said from the side: "It doesn't matter, we are on the first floor, even if he jumps off the building, no one will die."

"Hahahaha~"

After Austin heard it, he smiled and said to the madman, "Then I'll tell you."

"Taker Bell offered Lu Yu 500,000 before."

The madman felt that his heart had been touched severely.

It hurts, it hurts so much!

Give Lu Yu 500,000 yuan.

If you come to me, give me 100,000!

After finishing speaking, Austin clapped his hands and said:

"Okay, please keep the contracts. After two days, when the people from these two companies arrive, 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!

But he is still very grateful to Lu Yu.

"Lu, when you let me eat two pancakes, you let me eat 10 dabuliu.

"I will follow you for the rest of my life!"

Madman swore an oath of allegiance immediately.

Lu Yu said with a smile: "Don't eat pancakes in the future, you have to eat Taco instead."

"I see that there is a clause in the contract that in the future, whenever there is a photo of you holding pancakes, you will lose money?"

The madman sighed: "Actually, pancakes are delicious. Taco is not interesting at all.

"But for money, I put up with it!"

For the signing of Madman, Lu Yu has no objection.

His signing will certainly not be able to bring impact to the pancake and fruit industry.

Where in the United States are there catering companies that make pancakes and fruits?

There are no more than 5 pancake stalls in Chinatown......

November has passed.

The Lakers ushered in December with a record of 10 wins and 1 loss.

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

On this day, after finishing the phone call with Wang Zuxian, Lu Yu came to the refrigerator and looked at the game schedule posted on the refrigerator.

On December 3rd, they will have a (good) game against the Rockets.

It is now the night of December 1st, and there is a high probability that the team will leave for Texas tomorrow.

Lu Yu thought about it, and then called Huo Li.

"Robert, how are you doing?"

"It's pretty good. After our Alabama three masters entered the NBA, they are all proper main starting positions~"

That's true.

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

Horry is on the Rockets' side, playing the starting small forward position.

Unlike other NCAA players who are not three and four.

Horry really has the ability to swing on the front line.

His shooting ability is also the reason why the Rockets put him in the starting lineup.

"Tomorrow we're going to Houston."

"At that time, you have to treat us well."

"Hosting?" Horry yelled over the phone, "What the hell am I serving!"

"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 started to cry poorly 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 trip to Houston was a bit easier.

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

When seeing this schedule, the old players of the Lakers are very happy.

Presumably, for so many years, they have also been made uncomfortable by the Texas three-linker.

After landing in Houston, Lu and the madman went out of the hotel to look for it.

"You guys are here."

"Rich buddies, V me 50! Take the poor buddies to have fun!".
