Chapter 185 Sneaker Contract
After entering the living room, the two sat down and chatted politely for a while. After Caroline served coffee for Jeff Austin, she retreated tactfully.
"Jeff, tell me, what is your purpose for coming this time? You are a person who has nothing to go to the Three Treasures Palace!"
Feeling that the chat was about the same, Jin Hao got straight to the point.
"Hahaha, Jin, I just like your straightforwardness!"
Jeff Austin was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed again.
After the joke, Jeff Austin also became serious.
After the summer league ended, there were several student businessmen who came to discuss with Jin Hao about the signing of the sneaker contract, but Jin Hao rejected them all.
Although Durant is not the No. [-] pick, his rookie sneaker contract is comparable to the No. [-] pick.
After being selected by the Sonics, he immediately signed a 7-year 6 million super contract with Nike.In NBA history, it is second only to James' 000-year 7 million rookie contract.
He and Jin Hao also received contracts from several sneaker manufacturers after the summer league, but most of them hovered around 7 million in 5 years.
Jin Hao knew it was because he had not played basketball in the United States and was not fully recognized, so he decided to postpone the signing of the sneaker contract.
Now, after playing the summer league and preseason games, Jin Hao's performance is obvious to all, and he has been vaguely known as the player with the strongest overall strength in the 07 draft.
And the most commendable thing is that Jin Hao has his own traffic. He is the most hotly discussed rookie player this summer. Although he is not as popular as Kobe and James, he is not inferior to the popularity of ordinary All-Star players. .
After some comprehensive consideration by Jeff Austin, he chose the following three sneaker vendors for Jin Hao.
首先便是阿迪达斯的7年7，500万和耐克的7年7800万，随后便是锐步的6年6，600万。
Compared with Adidas and Nike, the two major international brands, Reebok's contract is obviously much smaller. Although Yao Ming is still the spokesperson of Reebok, the contract given to Yao Ming was 5 million last year.
This does not explain anything, after all, it was still in 03, and Yao Ming was an inside player. Although there are various factors such as the Chinese market, Jin Hao is an outside player after all, so he naturally wanted to look for a higher offer.
So in the end Jin Hao set his sights on Adidas and Nike.
"Jin, what do you think? If we choose well, we can still meet with the senior management of these companies."
Jeff Austin looked at Jin Hao's tangled face, and suggested in a timely manner.
"Okay, let's choose Adidas and Nike, and I will meet their representatives sometime."
Jin Hao nodded. Anyway, he is not the one who is most anxious now, so it doesn't matter if we meet up first.
In fact, Jin Hao's heart is naturally longing for Lao Zhan's biggest rookie sneaker contract in NBA history.
But after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that it was unrealistic. After all, the old Zhan is known as a super genius who meets once in 10 years in the history of the NBA, and he resounded all over the United States in high school.
From 1985 to 2007, for nearly 20 years, the NBA's top picks every year have basically been taken over by inside players.
The only two perimeter players, one is Allen Iverson and the other is LeBron James. As for the next No. 3 outside player, Derrick Rose is the "youngest mvp in history".
If Jin Hao wants to get a big contract like James, it is possible to play the entire regular season, but this is not very cost-effective for him, after all, time is money.
"No problem, I think it will be tomorrow, let's find a place to meet with representatives of Adidas and Nike!"
"Okay, you can arrange things for tomorrow, I can rest assured that you will handle things!"
Hearing Jin Hao's words, Jeff Austin left cheerfully. After all, if Jin Hao really signed such a super big contract, his agent would also have a 3% commission.
This is considered very good in the NBA players' commission. After all, the NBA has corresponding regulations. The broker's commission in a single contract cannot exceed 4% of the contract.
Converted down, that's more than 200 million US dollars.
"Honey, what did you talk about just now?"
When Jeff Austin left, Caroline gently hugged Jin Hao's waist from behind.
"It's my next sneaker contract choice. I'm considering whether to sign with Adidas or Nike!"
Jin Hua also turned around, picked up Caroline and walked towards the sofa, the fragrance of the beautiful woman's hair came from the nose clip.
"Oh, how big is the sneaker contract?"
A woman's curiosity is like a cat, once provoked, it cannot be restrained anymore.
"Adidas gave 7 million in 7 years, and Nike gave 500 million in 7 years. It's really a happy trouble!"
It is every man's instinct to act aggressively in front of beautiful women, and Jin Hao is no exception.
"OMG! I remember that LeBron James' rookie sneaker contract is 7 years and 9 million. Your contract is enough to rank second in history!"
Caroline couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What? Do you think I'm not as good as LeBron?"
"No, dear, in my heart, you will always be the best!"
Men always hate being compared with another man by a woman. Naturally, Caroline is very aware of this truth, and quickly returned to Jin Hao's question, and kept drawing circles on Jin Hao's chest with her right index finger.
"Honey, you're playing with fire, you know?"
"Fire? Where is the fire?"
Caroline also put her index finger into her mouth, and smiled with blurred eyes.
"It will be there soon!"
"Oh!"
……
At 2 pm on the second day, under the leadership of Jeff Austin, Jin Hao first went to a coffee shop to meet with Adidas executives.
当阿迪大师的高管听到耐克给金豪匹配的合同是7年7，800万后，他表示自己愿意在7年7，500万的基础上再加200万，阿迪达斯最后愿意以7年7，700万的条件签下金豪。
Perhaps in the view of Adidas, this is already his biggest concession, but in Jin Hao's view, this is because Adidas does not pay enough attention to himself.
"Jeff, go to meet Nike yourself and tell him that my condition is 7 million in 8 years. We Chinese all like a round number. If they are willing to add another 000 million, I will sign with them! If If you really don’t want to, then follow the original 200-year 7 million!”
"And what about Adidas!"
"To hell with them!"
After Jin Hao finished speaking, he left angrily in his own Hummer.
"Well, you are the boss and you have the final say!"
Hearing the sound of the roaring engine, Jeff Austin shrugged his shoulders and watched Jin Hao go away.
"Hey wait, I'm not in the car yet?"
Jeff Austin suddenly thought of a problem. When he came here, he lived in Jin Hao’s car, but now Jin Hao has left. Next, he wants to take a taxi to meet with Nike’s executives. Then this is too cheap, anyway. He is also a veteran agent!
In fact, both Jeff Austin and Jin Hao don't understand Adidas's strange brain circuit very much.
Obviously Jinhao said very clearly that as long as Adidas can match Nike's 7 million in 7 years, he is willing to sign the contract, but they are not willing to give more than 800 million.
Arrogance is a long-standing problem of Adidas, a well-known international brand, which is why he failed to kill Nike in the end.
Think about Jordan taking the Nike contract to find the executives of Adidas, meaning the same as Jin Hao: as long as you are willing to match, I will sign with you.
But Adidas is so proud, if I just say NO, I am not happy to pay those millions. As a result, I will naturally pass by Michael Jordan, the No.1 in NBA history.
Later, he forcibly terminated the contract with Kobe, and he blew an NB with LeBron before signing and failed to fulfill it. He gorgeously missed the next two active No.1s in the NBA.
Adidas always pays a few million less than Nike every time, as if the extra few million will kill him.
Gan Liliang!
"Forget it, let's go home!"
Jin Hao didn't even think about eating out, so he went straight home.
After all, in this cold and strange foreign country, only young ladies can bring him some warmth.
