It's incredible! You must know that my endorsement fee has never exceeded 5 million! It seems that it is good to be reincarnated as a Chinese in the next life! -- N'Golo Kanter, the current American shot put supremacy. Will also complained on his personal Twitter.

……

Regarding this contract, there are very few people who come out to support Tang Qian, and even some people who usually like Tang Qian have chosen to remain silent, because the contract given to him by AND1 is too fat! $28 million in 2 years, which equals $14 million in 1 year, what is the concept? Take the Lakers' No. 24 as an example, Nike's price for him is currently $42 million for 3 years, exactly $14 million a year, plus some additional benefits and bonuses, that will not exceed $16 million. Of course, Nike has always been "mean" to Kobe, which is a well-known thing, whether it is the length of the contract or the amount, it is sorry for Kobe's status. Looking at Durant again, the current contract is 7 years and 60 million US dollars, which is about 8.58 million US dollars a year, but in the future, he will sign a 10-year super endorsement contract with 300 million yuan, which means that he can get around 33.33 million American knives per year, which is undoubtedly a huge contract with enough sincerity for Durant, who is still on the rise. Not to mention James, who has been Nike's darling since high school, and before he entered the NBA, he got a "sky-high contract" of more than 90 million for more than 7 years, you must know that before 2003, NBA superstars only had a salary of about 10 million for 1 year! For comparison, look at the 2003 Nike to Kobe. The sneaker contract provided by Bryant is 45 million for 5 years, and what is Kobe's identity at that time, offensive and defensive double team + All-Star starter + 3 championship rings, one of the top ten stars in the league! But his contract is less than half that of a high school student!

That year, Kobe Bryant could get $9 million a year from Nike, plus some bonuses and benefits, that is, around 10 million. What about high school student James? It's already close to 13 million a year. As for the back, Nike also gave him a lifetime contract, which is also Nike's first lifetime contract in 44 years. Carter revealed in GQ magazine that the total amount exceeded $1 billion! And it is also a contract of cooperation between the two parties, that is, Nike wants to play Jordan's game with James, and share the sales profits for him!

However, that was in 2015, and now it is only 2013, and there are still two years to be realized, that is, Tang Qian entered Jordan's "sneaker contract field" one step earlier than James. Looking at Jordan's sneaker income, you will understand that in fact, the so-called fixed endorsement fee is simply a small head, and the real big head is the 4%~5% sales profit dividend in the United States, which is the key to making Jordan even if he retires, but he can still firmly hold the position of the "leading boss" of the NBA's highest sneaker income.

However, AND1 has offered a 15%-20% sales profit dividend, which is still global, which cannot but make people greedy and even red-eyed. can't blame them for being so "small", mainly because the inside players were originally the "disadvantaged group" of basketball shoe sales, look at the sneaker endorsement price code of the "active No. 1 center" peak "Warcraft", but 36 million US dollars for 6 years, less than 6 million US dollars a year, less than half of Tang Qian's first contract. So it can only be said that as soon as the details of Tang Qian's sneaker contract were announced, he was suddenly on the cusp of players and the media.

Jealousy, ridicule, disobedience, and many negative emotions began to rise in the alliance, so many people who were originally neutral have "turned black" one after another, just to "black and black".

The phone number of the AND1 company is about to be blown up at this moment, and the media and reporters who come to verify it are in an endless stream, and this kind of grand occasion has not appeared in AND1 for many years. Just the reason for the appearance of Seth. Berger was a little "under pressure".

In the AND1 room, Seth. Berger was furious and said, "Who is it! What idiot leaked the details of this contract??? Stand up for yourself!! "In the conference room, there was a chilling silence, there were more than a dozen people seated, but there was no sound." Okay, I'm usually not kind to you, right? Any of you betrayed me at a critical moment? Betrayal of AND1? Are you worthy of the salary I pay you??? Stand up and admit it, I can still be punished lightly, otherwise once it is verified, you will definitely be sent to court, and you will be punished for the crime of leaking trade secrets!! ”

But after a while, there was still silence in the conference room.

This. Berger blushed and shouted, "Bastard! What a no-egg. Bastards of eggs! If I find out, I'll break his teeth with my own hands! None of them will remain!! Just then, the door to the conference room was pushed open. Berger's female secretary cautiously spoke, "Saith, Seth. Mr. Berger, the hot agent called, she wanted to ask who leaked this trade secret, what will we do with this matter, and if we can't handle it, then she will not rule out terminating the contract with us, and at the same time sue us for breach of contract......"

"This damn Chinese woman is really a stone! I have long watched her ......" when an executive was preparing to "be indignant" and "scold" Zhou Zhiru. Berger's voice suddenly appeared, and he shouted, "What are you doing? Is this the corporate quality of our company? Is this the corporate culture that our company emphasizes? The contract clearly states that before the launch of the signature shoes, both parties cannot disclose the specific contract details, especially the dividend details, and now something has happened to people to question us, this is not a very normal thing? Are you too embarrassed to scold someone? Hmph, isn't it just that you revealed our trade secrets? ”

"Ah, me, me, Mr. Berger, don't guess, this matter has nothing to do with me!" Ben was thinking about being in Seth. Berger behaved well in front of him, but unexpectedly, the horse's fart slapped on the horse's hooves, and the positive effect did not have the slightest effect, but it aroused the latter's suspicion and suspicion.

This middle-aged executive really wants to drain his heart to death!

"Mr. Berger, let me tell you a word." This is a female executive, very young, in her early 30s at most, but she is relatively high in the top management of AND1. Why can she have such a high status in AND1? Because of the company's money-making projects in recent years, she alone has taken over almost half, and with this achievement, she has achieved this position, and no one will gossip about anything.

Deserved.

"Dinah, you speak." It was Dinah, Seth. Berger said as he suppressed his anger for the time being.

"First of all, I don't think it's an internal problem for us." Dinah said very competently: "Because the big guy is willing to stay in ADN1 not only for money, but also for other things, otherwise there are too many options to change jobs." I'm sure you know, Mr. Berger, that many headhunters have made invitations to us. "Well, you go ahead." Seth. Berger was noncommittal.

"Then it's time and motivation, we all signed a non-disclosure agreement, and at the same time occupy a small stake in the AND1 company, no one wants AND1 to get worse and worse, it's not in our interests, so ......" Dina shook off the pure golden ground and said in a long wave: "There is only one person who is the most suitable, and he is Ben Jehan, who has just been fired by you." ”

"After he was fired by you, all the shares were sold, so the AND1 company has no more involvement or involvement with him, and he has a very good motive to retaliate against AND1 or you like this." Under Dinah's detailed analysis, Seth. Berger also calmed down, he waved his hand first, let the female secretary at the door retreat, and then said: "If it is really him, then I will definitely not let him go!" I'm going to make him have a lawsuit! Make him notorious in the industry! ”

"None of this is a problem, sir, but the top priority is to stabilize China's hot side, otherwise if he leaves, we AND1 will suffer unbearable losses." Listening to Dinah's advice, Seth. Berger nodded, "Do you have a specific remedy?" Dana? ”

"Yes, it's not difficult, we just take the initiative to increase the value of the contract." Dina said fluently: "Anyway, it's 28 million US dollars now, it's better to add another 2 million, make up a whole number of 30 million, and you can also take the opportunity to hype, so that the outside world is full of impressions and curiosity about our new sneakers for AND1, and if it is done well, it may be able to achieve the publicity effect of 'hot before it is sold'." "Listening to Dinah's proposal, Seth. Berger secretly affirmed in his heart, because this remedy plan was more complete and perfect than he had just thought, and at the same time, with the help of the momentum of this "incident", he took the opportunity to counter the hype, reverse the situation, and let AND1 save a lot of advertising and publicity costs.

It seems that it was an extremely wise decision to accept her as a fresh college student back then.

"Okay, do you have any additions or comments on Dinah's proposal?" Seth. Berger asked, glancing at the senior staff in the conference room. Seeing that no one answered immediately, he immediately made a decision and said: "Then do what Dina suggests, go and prepare a new contract immediately, and then contact the hot agent and tell her our sincerity in remedy!" ”

Look at the people below for a long time without reacting, Seth. Berger was a little angry again, and said, "Didn't you hear me?" Immediate action, immediate GO!! Suddenly, the high-ranking officials in the conference room were excited, and then they got up one after another, and flew back to their work area.

After everyone left, Seth. Berger suddenly said to himself: "It feels so good that a person makes a decision? If Tom and Jay were still around, I wouldn't have had that decision. ”

……

The news of the media is always sensitive, so it didn't take long for the official statement of AND1 to be reprinted by countless people.

AND1 company refutes rumors! The price they give China is far more than that! 30 million in 2 years, the price code is catching up with the front line of the alliance! -- Los Angeles Times.

Although I also like Chinese perm, but 30 million in 2 years, he is really not worth so much! -- Stand stopper. Sern.

Are Chinese people without the Chinese market worth so much money? Is he 2 times better than Howard? That's absolute! ――ESPN。

It's crazy! When I first entered the league, I didn't get $18 million for 6 years! The appetite of the Chinese is huge! - Carmelo. Anthony.

LeBron, Wade, and Bosh all kept their mouths shut about it, but insiders revealed that they were all disgruntled, believing that China's move was an act of enriching money by losing the morality of professional players! ――ESPN。

$30 million in 2 years? AND1 has completely pushed itself to the point of no return! Friends who still hold AND1 stocks, friendly reminder, sell it now, otherwise you will soon lose everything! - Henry. Abbott.

Oh~ I think that Chinese hot must be a base ^.guy~ Otherwise, how did he get the boss of AND1? But~ His **** officer is definitely not as long as me~ This is undoubted~-Boxing champion Floyd. Mayweather tweeted again.

haha! Are the flesh and bones of Los Angeles ready? The Lakers signed a huge premium endorsement contract on the 29th, so go to him right away! Oh, by the way, you have to remember the size of the Asian umbrella clearly, don't take out XXXL, then he will only be annoyed and angry, and you won't get any money and tips~ If you want to get the most dollars, just bring the S model umbrella, remember that this is my Jason. Whitelock's "Little Advice"~-Sports columnist Jason. Whitelock.

And after seeing these "rumors", Tang Qian just sneered, and then remembered them one by one, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

PS: I saw that some book friends questioned the "bad attitude" of Americans towards yellow players, OK, the ones listed above Xiaozi are all people who have had "contemptuous remarks", this Freud. Needless to say, Mayweather insulted Jeremy Lin back then, he was the number one person, and his wording was "Asian" and "yellow-skinned", which was not just a one-sided contempt for Jeremy Lin, the entire Asian and yellow race was included in him. Then there is the "Amasian" incident of the New York Post, everyone who is interested can search for it for themselves, Xiaozi will not go into details, but such an authoritative newspaper will also have such "discriminatory remarks", which is really dumbfounded. As for this last Jason. Whitelock, the famous Kehei, hacked Yao Ming and Jeremy Lin at the same time, especially during the time when Lin was crazy, he once published a private tweet similar to what Xiao Zi wrote on it, in order to make fun of the entire Asian people, so Xiao Zi just used facts to speak, rather than simple speculation and brain supplement.

But in the end, he was beaten into a pig's head by Tang Qian! This is one of Xiao Zi's original intentions for letting them appear~

Finally, thank you to the Demon King 1982 greatly, the silent honor is great, and I suddenly look back on the old time for a big reward~
