Chapter 164: Adi or Nike
When it comes to sports brand bigwigs, many people's first reaction is Adidas and Nike. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
These two guys have been competing with each other, neither of them is convinced, in the football world may have an advantage for Adi, but in the basketball world because of Joe's help, Nike has pressed Adi.
However, no matter which of these two is, it can be said to be the top sports brand, and it is definitely not ordinary people who can be favored by them and sign endorsement contracts.
And Qin Yan is very lucky, as a rookie who has only played in the league for more than a month, he can be looked at by these two giants at the same time, I have to say that Qin Yan's ability or potential is huge.
After all, these two companies have signed a lot of young talents, and it is still okay to look at people, but the number of times they look away is still relatively small (of course, in the basketball world, Adi is indeed a little worse, and Nike does have more stars).
Now, Duffy is flying to San Antonio again with these two contracts, although to be honest he is not very satisfied with these two preliminary contracts, but at least it can prove that Qin Yan has been able to enter the eyes of the two bigwigs, and it is worth their bet.
As for the contract, if you are not satisfied with the conditions, you can negotiate, you can impress them with your performance on the field, these are not problems, as long as you get the approval of these bigwigs, it means that Qin Yan has succeeded.
Not every player has the opportunity to become a member of Adi or Nike, and even if he is mixed up as a starter on an ordinary team, he may not be favored by them.
And to be able to get two contracts from Adinike at the same time, it proves that it must be amazing, like Kobe, James, Carter, Durant, Rose, etc., they are all selected after getting contracts from these two companies, and everyone is a superstar who can make the league crazy at their peak!
Now Qin Yan has also obtained contracts from these two companies, although the initial conditions are not very good, but at least it proves that Qin Yan has the potential to become a superstar in the eyes of both companies.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Qin Yan is the reason why Chinese can open up the Chinese market again.
Later that morning, Duffy arrived at Qin Yan's home in San Antonio again, and this time Qin Yan did not sleep lazy, but personally chartered a car to the airport to pick up Duffy.
"Qin, take a look, these are two contracts." Duffy said as he sipped his coffee.
On the table are two contracts, with the logos Adi and Nike.
Qin Yan took these two contracts and looked at them carefully, well, it is true that the contract is not particularly superior, the length and amount are quite good, quite miserable.
"Duffy? Are you sure they're not here to tease me? Qin Yan couldn't help but complain, this contract is inevitably too stumbling, especially Nike, what the hell is this? $10 million in 5 years? 2 million a year? Calling Hanako?
"Yes, the contract that Nike gave you really doesn't have much sincerity, I guess they just want to show their interest in you. After all, Nike has a lot of stars, and their resources can't be divided too much with a rookie like you. Duffy said while drinking coffee while looking at Qin Yan, whose expression had changed from expectation to some disappointment.
"A rookie like me? Looks like I'm not losing to the superstars right now, right? I'm 20+5+5, and I'm doing it in a team like Spurs. Qin Yan was a little dissatisfied, he was in the Spurs, and everyone knew that this was a team that couldn't brush data, and it was necessary to take turns to brush data.
But in such an environment, Qin Yan can still get 20+5+5 data, which is very rare.
"You also know you're at the Spurs, which have always been known as a system team, do you think people think your stats are valuable?" Duffy finished his last sip of coffee and said unhurriedly.
Qin Yan was stunned, I'll go, it turns out that this is the case!
"You are a rookie, and you are in a team like Spurs with a big brother, and your teammates are also strong, and you cooperate with you a few more times per game, is it difficult to 20+5+5?" Duffy put down the cup that he had already drunk and analyzed it with Qin Yan very seriously.
"Although you are doing well, after all, it is only a little more than a month, and it is difficult to make them believe that you can continue to maintain this momentum in the future, so Nike only gave you this price."
"Hmph, then I'll take a look at Adi's." Qin Yan directly ignored Nike's contract, he doesn't keep his master here, he has his own place to keep his master, can he hang himself on a Nike tree?
"Don't look at it, Adidas is indeed more sincere, they gave 18 million US dollars for 3 years, that is, 6 million US dollars a year." Duffy spoke first before Qin Yan opened Adidas' contract, "But the price is still low." ”
Qin Yan felt much more comfortable, right, this is like a word, Qin Yan can still accept such a contract.
He is not too ambitious, but understands that he does not have much honor now, and if he wants this business to see his value, he must use his strength to speak, and Adidas dares to offer this price, which is obviously much more sincere than Nike.
"No matter, just Chong Adi is willing to give these, and I will choose him." Qin Yan made a decision directly, go to your Nike, brother is not rare for you.
"Are you really sure? I knew that there were a lot of stars under Nike, and only Dwight, Tim, and Kevin could hold up on Adidas's side. Duffy is telling the truth, Adidas was at its peak when it signed Duncan, Garnett, Maddie, Arenas and Billups, the "Adi Five", and now with Maddie and others aging, Adidas can indeed take few shots.
"Isn't that right, you go to discuss with Adidas and tell them that Nike is pressing them now because they signed Jordan back then. Now that Adi has signed me, I won't let Nike continue to be arrogant in the future. Qin Yan patted his chest and said. It just so happens that Adi doesn't have the main trump card now, so let me be the savior! ”
"What do you mean... Tell them directly that you'll be ahead of Michael? Duffy asked calmly.
"No, you tell them to sign me and they won't regret it." Qin Yan is still very cautious, now is not the time to let go, and when he comes up with results that can convince others, it is not too late to speak.
"Understood, what do you mean, are you sure to choose Adidas? Is this contract signed? "Duffy actually prefers Nike, but it's true that Nike's contract breaking this time is a bit excessive, and there is no need to put a hot face on a cold ass. And Qin Yan is right, there are too many people under Nike, and they focus on LeBron James, Qin Yan may not be able to get a lot of resources in the past.
But Adidas is different, the current Adi is not the "Five Tiger Generals" period, there are too few big names under it, if the "Five Tiger Generals" are still two in court, then the current Adi is suppressed by Nike, and he has no temper at all.
"No, you can talk about the contract again, I hope the term will not exceed two years, the salary can be appropriately cheaper, I will show my ability in a short period of time, and I will renew a sky-high contract when the time comes." Qin Yan is still relatively thoughtful, three years is indeed too long, and within a year or two, Qin Yan is sure to impress others.
"Okay, let's do it first, I'll talk, and if it goes well, you'll be able to put on your shoes during the All-Star break." Duffy saw that Qin Yan had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more, Adidas will be Adidas!
The next thing he has to do is to negotiate with the person in charge of Adi, and Qin Yan, he has to come up with a more convincing performance!
