Nike was perfunctory before, and the talks ended unhappily, but now he was shameless and sent out a new invitation again, which surprised Li Zhe. However, he thought that capitalists would despise the law in order to make profits, and shamelessness was just a little bit of ambition.

Duffy suggested accepting the invitation because AJ temporarily withdraws, and multiple negotiators will help get better contracts.

Li Zhe thought for a long time and agreed that the performance had been fully performed. There was no benefit to continue to drag on it. There was a day off now, so Reebok, Adidas and Nike teams could rush to Las Vegas for a head-on confrontation.

Time is a bit rushed, but it can just test the sincerity of the three teams.

Duffy immediately hung up the phone and called Li Zhe again for about half an hour, saying that he had already negotiated with the three teams.

The meeting location is set at the Royal Venice Resort Hotel, only ten minutes from the Lakers' hotel. See Reebok at 10 a.m., Nike at 1 p.m., Adid at 4 p.m., and the final result is given at 10 p.m.

After completing the plan, Li Zhe continued to check the emails. Apart from a large number of luxury sales advertisements, only photos of Chinese food attempts sent by Brell and Natasha were left. After Li Zhe replied, he turned off his computer and asked his teammates to go to the gym for additional training.

It was originally expected that one or two people could only be made, but I thought that all the teammates who participated in the Xia Lian went there happily.

Considering that except for Morrison, other teammates have not yet obtained the contract and can only receive a subsidy of $125 a day, and even the sneakers need to be prepared by themselves, Li Zhe decisively takes over all the consumption.

When the training was over, he invited everyone to the restaurant for dinner.

…

On the morning of the 11th, Li Zheru met the Reebok team.

The team is still led by President O'Toole, who offered $45 million in 5 years, and added an additional 2% profit share. He also took out detailed sneaker promotion activities, including everything from theme festivals to community exhibitions, and from the moment of signing the contract to five years later, it was full of sincerity.

Li Zhe was very moved, but he also understood that Reebok just wanted to gamble.

At 1 pm, the Nike team visited.

CEO Kevin Parker led the team and first apologized to Li Zhe and then explained the business plan in detail.

Balabala talked a lot, but Li Zhe didn't understand it very much, so he just listened and didn't say it.

At the end of the day, Parker started to talk about Nike having a good cooperative relationship with many sports media, and he received the greatest feedback in various promotional activities in the future, and also suggested that various award selections can also benefit.

Hearing this, Li Zhe couldn't help but think of Harden and Curry's encounter, and suddenly felt a headache.

However, this kind of thing is all about business. If you want to blame, you can only blame Adidas and Under Armour for not being prepared enough.

In addition to the detailed business plan, Nike also offers the best newcomer rewards and promises to launch signature shoes within two years.

Li Zhe felt that this statement was not very credible, and at the same time, he felt that Nike still lacked sincerity.

At 4 pm, Adida's team visited.

Leading the team by Mark King, the president of Greater China, he showed the recruitment video of the "Adi Five Tigers" from the beginning. Duncan, Garnett, McGrady, Billups, and Arenas all hoped that Li Zhe would join Adid, and it was not a temporary recording.

In addition, Adidas took out a conceptual picture of the signature shoe design, indicating that it will apply new technology.

Finally, Adidas proposed an incentive plan, with additional bonuses for the best newcomer, All-Star, MVP and other honors.

After meeting the three teams, Duffy suggested waiting until the last moment to see if there will be a team to increase the money.

During the waiting period, Li Zhe received a call from Jordan. Jordan said that AJ withdraws to let Nike sign him. Nike will definitely give him the best resources. Neither Adidas nor Reebok are wise choices, and I hope he will consider it seriously.

Duffy followed the trend and suggested signing Nike in the end, but Li Zhe thought about it and finally decided to sign Adi.

In his opinion, in comparison, Adida has both strength and sincerity.

Because Reebok has been acquired by Adidas, except for Iverson, there are few big-name stars, and he has not made any technological progress over the years. If he is injured by sneakers like Wall, he will suffer a huge loss.

Nike has too many stars, and most of the signature shoes are just talking about them. It is difficult to fully realize all business plans. Moreover, Nike is a little arrogant. He doesn't want to be like Curry, because he is not optimistic, he will not be able to get the right to hold a youth training camp.

Duffy knew Li Zhe's personality and neither dared nor wanted to object, so he immediately notified the three teams.

The Adidas team was ecstatic, the Reebok team expressed regret, and the Nike team left.

At about 8 o'clock, Li Zhe officially completed the signing of the contract with Adidas.

Adidas official Twitter updated Li Zhe's signing photos as soon as possible, and discussions from all parties emerged. However, in addition to the instructions of many Adidas' stars, they were more about seeing the wrongdoing and questioning.

"Wrong choice! The league has been led by Nike, and Jamie Lee will regret it in the future."

"$40 million in five years? Are you wrong? Did Adidas lose his heart because they lost Jordan, Kobe, LeBron, and Durant? Do they have to earn back the money in ten years or twenty years?"

"Jamie Lee's first sneaker contract has reached Iverson and Kobe's level, and is only lower than Durant, LeBron and Jordan. Can he play the corresponding performance within the rookie contract term?"

These discussions are becoming increasingly fierce through social networks.

TMZ took the opportunity to launch a survey on Twitter with the theme of "Will you buy Li Zhe's signature sneakers?" The voting lasted until 12 pm, with a total of more than 30,000 people participating, and the proportion of choosing to purchase was only 36.4%.

"If I were to buy a pair of Adidas basketball shoes, it could be Derek Ross signature shoes or Kobe sneakers classic replica styles. I honestly have no interest in Jamie Lee's sneakers."

"Jamie Lee is a good guy and an excellent player, but he lacks personal style in playing, so it's hard to attract me."

"IMHO, Adidas sneakers are more like the choice of middle-aged 40-year-olds."

Regarding these comments, Duffy said he wanted to start public relations, but Li Zhe didn't care at all. He got the $2 million signing fee and immediately decided to fulfill his promise to buy sports cars for his teammates, and called DeRozan and others one by one.

But after asking a lot of questions, no one wanted it, and they all said that they were just talking casually and having fun.

…

Early in the morning of the 12th, Adidas sent 13 pairs of classic sneakers to the Lakers' hotel to hand it over to Li Zhe.

All of these sneakers were selected by Li Zhe based on his teammate's footcode, and all of his teammates expressed their gratitude.

At 12 noon, Adidas officially posted a photo of Li Zhe wearing Adidas sneakers, and wrote: "Soully announce! In the Lakers' match against the Warriors, Jamie Lee will give away 300 pairs of sneakers for every three-pointer in the Lakers' match against the Warriors."

Fans have long been numb to this kind of marketing activity.

But then, Nike's official Twitter immediately posted a photo of Curry wearing Nike sneakers, and wrote: "Never break your promise! Stephen Curry scored a three-pointer against the Lakers, every time he made a three-pointer, we would give him 300 pairs of sneakers."
Chapter completed!
