0090: [Build a team]
Together, the two professionals were able to reach a cooperation agreement with almost no unnecessary communication costs.
Dugg will work with Vivia Lin to start a sports agency.
This brokerage company has a special structure, and in terms of operating the 'Duge' brand, all commercial profits are divided into ninety-one, with Duge accounting for ninety percent and Lin Weiwei accounting for one percent. In the follow-up signing of other players, the profit distribution will become seventy-three points, Lin Weiwei seventy percent, and Du Ge three percent.
Plainly. For a short period of time, Duge used Lin Weiwei as a work assistant. Lin Weiwei sees long-term operation, she has no idea of making money on Duge, she wants to use Duge as a springboard to create a huge brokerage company, so as to compete with CAA, RS, WMG and other old brokerage companies!
Both sides are happy with this.
Then in the evening, Lin Weiwei helped Du Ge hold his first press conference. A total of more than 30 media outlets attended the conference, of which 19 were Chinese, 5 were from other Asian countries and regions, and the rest were from the United States.
At this press conference, Dugg solemnly announced his candidacy for the 2008 draft. And again, he emphasized: "The Orange County Chronicle reported that there was no mistake, I was the point guard!" ”
This emphasis made the American reporters below burst into laughter.
They've never seen a hand-to-hand point guard with a center in the paint.
Dugg did not argue with the laughter of the reporters.
Lin Weiwei has analyzed this issue with him in depth from the perspective of communication and commercial value, as long as she bites and admits that she is a point guard, it will become a propaganda point. In addition, outside players are more likely to be favored by sponsors, especially in the sneaker sector.
That night, Lin Weiwei told Duge that she had received offers from Jordan, Nike and Reebok.
The Jordan brand offered an endorsement contract with an annual salary of 300,000.
Nike is a bit higher, at $500,000.
Reebok is the highest, 700,000.
However, the first thing that was discharged by Lin Weiwei was Reebok. The company is one step away from bankruptcy, and Adidas is said to have officially entered the acquisition process.
As for the Jordan brand, Lin Weiwei also crossed it out directly.
The only thing left is Nike.
"$500,000 is too little." Dugg shook his head and said; "I've heard that Derrick Rose's contract with Adidas will be over 10 million per year. Nike's contract with Russell also exceeds four million annual salaries. ”
Lin Weiwei paused slightly, and then said, "I don't know what Russell's contract terms are. But Derrick Rose's contract is supposed to be the maximum annual salary he can get, and it contains a lot of triggers, such as how many starts he makes, being selected to the NBA rookie game, being named to the rookie first team, and leading the team to the playoffs...... And so on and so forth. ”
"It's a guaranteed contract?" Dugg asked rhetorically.
Lin Weiwei nodded: "Yes, guaranteed contract." ”
"Then I'll sign a guaranteed contract too." Dugg said firmly: "It's best to have as many trigger rewards as possible." ”
"Okay, I'll talk to you about it. But before we can do that, we have to get our company done. Lin Weiwei said with a smile: "And you have to put the registered place in the Virgin Islands." We have to keep taxes to a minimum. ”
"You go and do it." Duge nodded: "Also, help me get enough endorsement contracts as soon as possible." I need to use these contracts to go to the bank for a mortgage. ”
"Mortgages? Why? Lin Weiwei asked.
Dugg didn't answer directly, just said something personal.
……
Early the next morning, Doog received a call from across the ocean, and Doucle told Dogg on the other end of the phone that he had seen the news. He is very proud that the old Du family can produce an NBA player to make him proud. At the same time, he encouraged Duge to take good care of himself in the United States, play basketball well, and win glory for the country.
Hearing Lao Du's cheerful words on the other end of the phone, Du Ge felt inexplicably sad. He thought to himself, my dad is really in trouble, otherwise how could he support me to play basketball? Didn't he always want me to be the elite on Wall Street?
So, he said, "Boss, I'm going to be an NBA player right now." You can earn tens of millions of yuan or more a year. Tell me, how big is your funding gap right now? I'll help you figure it out. ”
"Hahahaha." Du Kefeng laughed heartily on the other end of the phone: "Sure enough, my good son, my father was still moving bricks on the construction site when he was twenty years old." Dad, you don't have to worry about it, that is, tens of millions of things, I can settle it with just two phone calls. Don't listen to the rumors outside, the land I photographed in Beijing two years ago is now rising like a rocket. You, play your ball well, become the second Yao Shu, and win glory for the country! ”
Du Ge silently kept tens of millions of things in mind here. He thought to himself that Lao Du must be smiling now, otherwise how could he let his mother come back to the entertainment industry? And he doesn't talk about me when I play basketball, shouldn't he jump to scold with his personality?
I have to prepare at least 100 million.
Duge clenched his fists.
After chatting for a while, the two hung up the phone.
After washing up, Edward called. He told Dugg that he had been formally invited to Orlando training camp and that in mid-May, Dug would be able to go straight to Orlando. There will be a lot of team scouts going to scout the players. The hot rookies then receive tryouts from each team. Then, just wait for the NBA Draft.
In addition, he told Dugg: "The general manager of the Golden State Warriors also spoke to me on the phone recently, and it sounds like their head coach Nelson Sr. admires you. Expect them to send you a formal invitation to try out at the end of the season. ”
Dugg nodded.
Dealing with NBA teams is now in the hands of Edward, a veteran independent scout who has accumulated a lot of contacts in this area.
As for the commercial liaison activities, it will be handled by Lin Weiwei.
Both are professionals, which makes this team competitive!
At noon, Du Ge received a call from Lao Duan, who told him that CCTV wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with him, which was very high-level, and might even appear on the news network.
Duge immediately agreed.
