According to NCAA rules, after all the teams of players are in the end, as long as they announce their participation in the draft and hire an agent, they can begin to accept commercial endorsements even if they give up their right to return to school.

Everyone knows that Li Zhe will do that, and he is both strong and popular. He is currently a popular singer. There must be many endorsements coming to him, but two invitations appear at the same time, which makes him feel a little embarrassed for a while.

Seeing that he was hesitant, O'Toole immediately said: "We have a detailed business plan and many well-known designers have created signature sneakers for you. As long as you sign, the signing fee of 10 million US dollars will be fully received and can be directly transferred to your account and the contract salary will be calculated separately."

The other party is so enthusiastic and well-prepared. Although he doesn't like Reebok very much, Li Zhe doesn't intend to refuse directly. Moreover, multiple competitors are also conducive to negotiating a better contract, but Ferrari will definitely not accept it.

"What do you like about me?"

"I like your strength, your influence, and the Chinese market behind it."

"Okay, I will arrange my itinerary as soon as possible after hiring an agent. I will talk to you later?"

O'Toole was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he smiled instantly: "It's totally OK. We will send someone to station in Los Angeles. As long as you call, I will arrive as soon as possible and look forward to meeting you."

"Yes," Li Zhe nodded and turned around, waiting for Tim who was next to him to leave together seeing this.

Not far away, the ringtone of the cell phone rang again, and Bill Duffy called.

"Why didn't you accept Ferrari? O'Toole was waiting for himself as the president, and he was full of sincerity."

"There are people who are better than him waiting for me."

"who?"

"Michael Jordan."

After the words came to a silence on the other end of the phone, Tim was completely stunned.

After a long time, Duffy's voice sounded again: "Okay, he has a greater face."

Three minutes later, Li Zhe saw Jordan standing next to the team bus, and there were several people walking with him.

The two of them had eye contact, and at the same time, they tacitly stayed away from the bus, and found another place to talk in detail.

"The Reebok people are looking for you?" Jordan went straight to the point.

"They want to give me a Ferrari as the first reward for negotiation." Li Zhe did not hide it.

"Ha, the manufacturer gave me that thing directly." Jordan shook his head. "Are you interested in endorsing AJ? As long as you can win 2010 in your rookie season, I will be the top player."

"Of course I'm interested, but in 2010..." Li Zhe did not dare to draw a conclusion casually.

"Okay, are you interested in playing in the Bobcats? We have a chance to draw a lottery this year, and I can figure out how to operate it."

"This is really not..." Li Zhe shook his head repeatedly.

Jordan laughed in anger and patted Li Zhe on the shoulder, "I value you very much. When you finish the draft, I will send someone to contact you immediately. If you have any point guard needs, I can help you contact Chris Paul."

Li Zhe was a little disappointed when he heard this. It means that he should first look at which team he was selected. If it was a big football market, the contract might be higher, and if it was a small football market, the opposite would be the case. But this is normal. After all, he has not reached the original popularity and strength of LeBron. Moreover, Jordan came to inform him in person, and his sincerity has been fully raised.

He nodded immediately and turned around and walked onto the team bus.

A group of teammates immediately surrounded him and chattered and asked him what he was talking about with Jordan.

"I will be able to send you sports cars soon, just treat it as a champion reward."

Li Zhe summarized it in one sentence, and the teammates cheered excitedly.

…

On the way back to the hotel, Li Zhe received congratulatory messages and calls from Yao Min and others, and there were many on Twitter.

LeBron: "Tested a great game at Ford Center tonight. @Jamie Lee performed well, if you @Jamie Lee needs guidance, you can contact me, it's not difficult."

Mars Gomars: "Congratulations to @Jamie Lee for winning the championship and hope we have a chance to work together again."

Jim Bath: "Congratulations to my father's alumnus @Jamie Lee for leading USC to the first Crazy Three championship."

Westbrook: "Congratulations @Jamie Lee, you won this time. Come to the NBA, USC's talented boy, I will discuss math problems with you on behalf of UCLA on the field."

Love: "@Russell, I might have to deal with you with @Jamie Lee..."

Arenas: "Congratulations @Jamie Lee for getting the MOP. Your jump onto the technical stage looks very similar to me. Come to the Wizards, I can play the shooting guard, and there is also your alumnus Nick Young..."

In addition to congratulations from all parties, Li Zhe also received many endorsement negotiation invitations, including two major sneaker manufacturers, Nike and Adidas. But like AJ, even if the agreement is completed, it will take a wait until the draft before officially signing the contract.

…

At noon on the 7th, the Trojans special plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport.

Thousands of USC fans came to pick them up. The whole team wore Trojan uniforms with the words "2009 NCAA Championship" printed on them, and waved photos of Li Zhe and others in their hands and shouted wildly.

Most of these fans are young USC students, but there are also some middle-aged and elderly people.

An old man with white beard sitting in a wheelchair excitedly said to the camera: "I happened to be 90 years old today. The Trojans won the championship is the best gift I have ever received in my life."

Li Zhe made a brief speech on behalf of the team, and then the whole team boarded the parade bus and began to move towards the school.

Nearly 24 kilometers away, many police cars drove the way along the way, and fans welcomed it together, and it was said that there were countless people.

"Demar, will you participate in the draft this year?" Li Zhe interacted with fans while chatting with teammates.

"Yes, if I meet you on the court one day, I may help you with cover..." DeRozan smiled.

"After entering the NBA, everything is a business behavior, we have to consider ourselves more. If the team you are going to is far from Los Angeles, you can come to me if you have urgent matters at home."

"clear."

After about an hour, the slowly moving bus finally drove to the gate of USC school. The principal brought the school sports team representatives to greet him. The whole school celebrated for half a day of holiday.

Waiting until evening, a girl took off her clothes to celebrate.

…

On the morning of the 8th, Li Zhe announced through his personal Twitter that he would end his studies early and participate in the 09NBA draft. He also hired Bill Duffy as the US regional agent and Liu Xiaofei as the Greater China agent.

Duffy soon arrived at the school to complete the contract with him, and the two discussed the itinerary on the business car.

"Reebok Nike AJ Adid, what do you think of this? Reebok is currently the most sincere and can complete the signing before the draft. Talking to them first is conducive to asking the other three companies for a price." Duffy asked.

"After all the draft, I will hurry up and practice hard next time." Li Zhe replied.

The NBA has set the joint trial time on May 10, and there is a full month to prepare. The joint trial and the individual trial performance of each team will largely determine which pick you can get in the draft on June 25. At critical moments, you must work hard and waste time talking about contracts.

"Okay, what do you plan to arrange for each team to try out separately after that? Currently, the Kings Wizards Timberwolves Knicks and the Warriors Lakers have invited the invitation, I suggest..."

"When the lottery conference is over, go to the Kings and Warriors first, then the Lakers, and finally the Wizards Knicks Timberwolves."

"Okay, but I don't recommend you to participate in the joint trial..."
Chapter completed!
