Chapter 96 Nike's Contract Conditions
The fourth day after leaving the Olympic Village.
It is also the fourth day of missing Sharapova...
Jiang Chen returned to the hotel around ten o'clock in the evening after hanging out all day.
As soon as he entered the hotel, he heard someone calling his name.
"Hey! Jiang, I finally saw you!"
Jiang Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw several well-mannered men in their forties or fifties walking towards him.
He immediately took a few steps back and looked at those people with a vigilant look.
"Hey man, I'm the top leader of Nike in China. You can call me Jack."
The blond and blue-eyed man in the lead said this with a smile on his face and in a polite manner.
"Hello."
Jiang Chen also shook hands with him politely.
"We came to you this time just to establish a preliminary intention to sign a contract with you."
"Look, we at Nike are very sincere. The entire signing team is here. If you want, we can sign the contract right now."
Jack said happily.
"Let's talk somewhere else."
Jiang Chen said with a smile, and led everyone to the hotel's conference room.
It was still too conspicuous in the hall, and he didn't want to be the headline in the sports news tomorrow.
"I want to know the specific signing conditions of Nike."
Jiang Chen said.
"90 million US dollars in 5 years! And Nike will also launch your own independent brand of sneakers."
Jack spoke very quickly, appearing very confident.
In his opinion, when the signing conditions were put on the table, there was no suspense.
What's there to hesitate about?
90 million US dollars for 5 years, this is the treatment that only super potential new stars can get.
In the entire NBA, only the "prodigy" LeBron James enjoyed such treatment during his rookie period.
Jiang Chen nodded and was very tempted by the conditions offered by Nike.
But as the saying goes, shop around. He will not sign a contract easily without receiving quotations from other brands.
He talked to Jack for a long time, but neither of them mentioned any details about the offer.
As an old man, Jack naturally knew Jiang Chen's intentions.
He did not use any psychological means to force Jiang Chen to make a choice, but gave him time to think.
After all, Nike's strength is there.
As the world's largest sports giant, Nike owns many super sports stars.
In the NBA, superstars like Kobe, James, and the basketball god Jordan are all Nike spokesmen.
Among them, Jordan's personal brand AJ set a sales record.
Such glory has created Nike's current dominant position among sports brands.
Undoubtedly, Jiang Chen's signing with Nike will bring him massive promotional resources and maximum exposure.
As long as you are smart, you will not reject Nike.
Jack believed Jiang Chen was a smart man, so he just waited for a call from Jiang Chen in a few days!
We chatted for nearly an hour.
Nike's signing team left the hotel led by Jack.
Jiang Chen also returned to his presidential suite, with Jack's voice saying "90 million US dollars in 5 years" constantly echoing in his mind.
How much would that be?
Converted into RMB, it is about 600 million!!
This is really a huge fortune!
Jiang Chen couldn't help but get a little excited.
Compared with Mr. Ma, I am still too worldly!
After all, Jack Ma said bluntly in a future program, "I am not interested in money."
Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile.
When I think of Jack Ma, I think of another way to get rich.
In this era of booming Internet development, having foresight into the future will enable us to stay ahead of the times and create Internet miracles.
As a time traveler, Jiang Chen no longer possesses foresight, but has directly opened his eyes to the future, and has a clear understanding of China's development in the next ten years.
It's time to start a wave of investment!
Once the investment is successful, your assets will not only be measured in "billions", but may very likely be "hundreds of billions", or even very terrifying.
In this way, 90 million US dollars is nothing...
Jiang Chen calmed down his excitement and fell into a deep sleep.
...
Over the next few days, sports brands kept coming to him, hoping to sign Jiang Chen.
The internationally renowned brand Reebok even directly wrote Jiang Chen a check for 20 million US dollars and asked Jiang Chen not to contact other brands again.
This was decisively rejected by Jiang Chen.
What kind of international joke is this?
After all these years, Reebok's contract team still has a poor brain!
When they used this method to treat James, they threw out a check for 10 million US dollars, which was ruthlessly rejected by James.
Then James turned around and entered the arms of Nike.
Now Reebok is using the same method against Jiang Chen, but the check amount is only increased to 20 million US dollars?
Send away beggars?
And this kind of behavior is also unpleasant, as if no one has ever seen money.
Although Jiang Chen's annual salary in his rookie season was only a few hundred thousand US dollars, after signing a big contract in the new season, his annual salary has entered the ranks of tens of millions of US dollars.
Financial freedom has been achieved.
....
In addition to Reebok, brands such as Puma and Adidas also came to us.
Puma's contract offer is 80 million for four years, and will also launch a personal brand for Jiang Chen.
Adidas was the most exaggerated, offering a super contract of 100 million US dollars for 5 years.
This is definitely the largest shoe endorsement contract for a second-year draft pick in NBA history!
Just from this contract offer, we can see how much Adidas values Jiang Chen.
When Jiang Chen was hesitant, major sports brands took the initiative to find reporters from major media and released the news that they were in contact with Jiang Chen to sign a contract.
Suddenly.
The whole of China is discussing the issue of Jiang Chen's sneaker endorsement contract.
After learning about the quotes from major sports brands around the world, Chinese brands also took action.
Of course, many Chinese brands are self-aware and cannot match such a contract at all, so they did not participate in this battle.
Throughout China, only first-tier brands such as Anta, Li Ning and Xtep are able to offer huge contract bids.
The first brand to come up was Li Ning.
After meeting Jiang Chen, the head of the signing team did not talk about the signing, but started talking about patriotism, the rise of China's own brands and other things.
Trying to use these feelings to influence Jiang Chen.
But Jiang Chen was not moved at all, after all, he was not a saintly person.
Moreover, having lived two lives, he knew very well that the person in charge was just talking nonsense.
In terms of patriotism, winning an Olympic gold medal for the country is the real glory for the country!
Does it mean I am unpatriotic if I don't sign a contract with you, Li Ning?
