Two Hundred and Seventeen. Is There Almost Something?

"Bill, didn't you come to Memphis tomorrow? Why did you come today? What kind of good news are you so excited about?" Sun Ce handed Bill Duffy a glass of water to the panting Bill Duffy.

After panting for a while and taking a sip of water, Bill Duffy didn't answer right away, but complained: "Noah, why don't you answer the phone? I've been waiting for you in the coffee shop downstairs for two hours. I just got the news that you Come back and run up immediately."

"Run?" Sun Ce picked up the phone from the bed and saw a dozen missed calls on the phone...

I didn’t bring my mobile phone with me when I went to training in the afternoon. Sun Ce’s current mobile phone is really not very useful except for checking the news and making phone calls. I usually don’t bring it with me when I go to training, so as not to be disturbed.

"Damn it, the elevator just broke down." Bill Duffy replied depressingly.

"..." Sun Ce was speechless, on the 12th floor... It was really not easy to see Bill Duffy's gray hair.

"Okay Bill, my fault, what's the thing that got you so excited to fly to Memphis right away?"

"This..." Bill Duffy took out a fax from his briefcase and handed it to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce looked at it and his hands were shaking!

"No mistake?" Sun Ce asked in surprise.

"I had the same reaction as Noah when I got the call." Bill Duffy was much calmer now.

Air-Jordan's 3-year 21 million sneaker endorsement!

"Other brands have also sent invitations, but the price and duration are not as attractive as Air-Jordan. Under Armor is 30 million in 5 years, Nike is 12 million in 2 years, and Adidas is 40 million in 6 years..." Bill - As he spoke, Duffy took out faxes of several other endorsement offers.

"Why did you suddenly give such a big contract?" Sun Ce was surprised here.

"Noah, you underestimate your commercial value too much. You were already in the middle when you were filming the team commercials. They value you more than Blake Griffin. I asked someone to investigate, Blake -Griffin and Air-Jordan signed an average of 6 million a year," Bill Duffy explained, "Another point is that Ray Allen has reached the end of his retirement, and they need to find a new spokesperson , Your topicality and your personality are more appreciated by them than Tyreke Evans.

And Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul haven't boosted their sneaker sales much,

They need to find someone new, and your personality is more in line with Air-Jordan's philosophy than theirs... ostentatious. "

Because Ray Allen has reached the end of his career and needs to find a replacement... Hearing this, Sun Ce really wanted to ask: Are you guys working together to blackmail me?

And who is making a fuss!

Sun Ce has always felt that he is very low-key.

However, the talent shown by Griffin University is really good, and the rookie season has been reimbursed. Air-Jordan still follows the agreement before the draft.

Griffin's 6 million-year endorsement fee set a new record for Dwight Howard's 5.9 million-year insider endorsement fee.

Sun Ce put away these weird ideas and began to pay attention to the endorsement itself. Judging from the various quotations, Sun Ce knows about various brands. Air-Jordan is rich and powerful, not to say that it is richer than other brands, it is just a sub-brand of Nike , but they have always been the most willing to spend money, because the sneakers are also expensive.

Adi likes to give long-term contracts the most. In Sun Ce's memory, when they signed McGrady and Rose, they directly gave contracts of more than 10 years or even lifetime contracts. Basically, as long as they are still playing, they can get endorsement fees, but the average price is not comparable. Several other brands.

Under Armor and Reebok like to undercut the wall, and the price they give may not be satisfactory, but it can play a role in raising the price.

"Bill, which one do you think is better?" Sun Ce hesitated!

He prefers Air-Jordan sneakers, but also wants to be more stable for a long time.

The price is actually between US$6 million and US$7 million. If the year is longer, for example, if you sign with Adidas for 6 years, you can have a stable income of US$40 million...from a millionaire to a multi-millionaire!

"If it is someone else, I would recommend them to sign for six years, but for Noah, I suggest you sign for three years. Our team has discussed that 21 million in three years is more in line with our future plan for you." Bill Duffy suggested.

Bill Duffy was quite surprised by Sun Ce's grass tolerance. He practiced like this every day, and he was still in good shape when he went to check his body. There is no shortage of people in the NBA who are more grass-tolerant than Sun Ce, like Andre Miller , but someone like Sun Ce who attracts attention, is resistant to grass, is highly topical, and has a personality that is easy to attract fans... is very rare.

But Bill Duffy didn't say it so firmly, he just suggested that the earth is round, and anything can happen.

40 million... 21 million... Sun Ce hesitated for a while, don't be greedy for immediate benefits!

"Choose Air-Jordan, Bill, are you sure I can still get an endorsement after this endorsement?"

"I have confidence in you, and you also need to work hard to make yourself play better." Bill Duffy responded.

"OK, that's it." Sun Ce made up his mind. Since the team of the brokerage company had discussed it and Bill Duffy felt that a short contract was good, he would terminate the contract.

On this point, Sun Ce thinks there is no big problem. The people in the brokerage company must be more confident. Otherwise, the brokerage company will definitely choose more for the commission of 40 million and 21 million.

After getting the answer, Bill Duffy was ready to leave: "I'll go back and discuss with the team again. Next, I will discuss the details of the contract with Air-Jordan, and try to help you get some incentives..."

...

Bill Duffy brought good news to Sun Ce, but also put a lot of pressure on Sun Ce.

Now Sun Ce is not satisfied with the status quo, he hopes to become better!

This is where he is very different from many players after he has received a big contract or a big endorsement. With more money, he wants more and more money.

He will be more motivated in the next training. After three seasons, whether he can get a higher endorsement fee after these three seasons can only rely on his own efforts!

The game is the most important thing. Only by playing the game well can we get more things.

In the next three days, Sun Ce will be ready to practice shooting while he still has an impression of Jennings' star experience card from the peak game, even though Jennings' star experience card is the star experience card used by Sun Ce Among them, he has the least comprehension of play style, but this feeling can't be wasted.

The main thing is Jennings' star experience card, which is a pure explosion, and it is an explosion that the star himself cannot replicate...

However, there is something Sun Ce is very interested in now, and he plans to play with it before going to bed.

In addition to Bill Duffy coming to inform Sun Ce of the endorsement contract, Erhu also brought it.

After unpacking the box and picking up the erhu, Sun Ce had a strange feeling. It was the first time he encountered this thing, but it felt very familiar...

He adjusted the piano shaft and the jack very skillfully, as if he was familiar with the pitch of the two strings. After the adjustment, Sun Ce sat cross-legged on the floor, as if his hands would naturally pull.

Instead of pulling out the familiar pieces of the Grade 8 exam in his mind, Sun Ce opened the score of Erquan Yingyue in the system space...

There is an 8-level erhu level. In fact, any erhu piece can be played, but proficiency and other factors, and more complicated pieces such as more advanced test pieces will not pass the test.

Looking at the score, Sun Ce's hand naturally began to move...

After finishing the heartbroken Erquan Yingyue... Sun Ce had a strange feeling that something was missing.

"By the way! No sunglasses! When I go to see the house tomorrow, I will buy a pair of handsome sunglasses!"

...

...

Just when Sun Ce was playing the erhu, because of his 59-point performance in the previous game, the management of several teams has now undergone some changes.

Over there in Houston...

"Did they agree?" Alexander asked urgently.

Morey shook his head regretfully: "I want them to put Sun in the deal, and they hung up the phone."

To replace Sun Ce with Battier, although Morey also feels whimsical, but he has to try it.

Failed, Alexander sighed, but that was to be expected.

It’s just that the management of the Rockets hopes to get a bargain like they traded to McGrady back then. What if the opponent’s brains are as clear as the Magic’s management, they didn’t expect that Francis + Mobley could be traded to McGrady. At that time, the Lakers were ready to use O'Neal to make a three-party bargaining deal. Even if the Magic didn't want O'Neal, they could get many high-quality outside players from the Heat or the Knicks.

But Dawson, who was still the general manager of the Rockets at the time, tried it, and the Magic directly agreed...

After Alexander sighed, he regained his desire for money and asked, "How is the negotiation between Anthony and Paul?"

"The Hornets have no intention of negotiating with us. The Nuggets want too many picks, but Anthony will not refuse to come to us because of Yao's relationship. I am going to negotiate with them slowly..."

"Don't the Grizzlies want to trade the pick for Battier? Give it to them!"
