Chapter 37: I'm not as good as a dinosaur

The so-called "famous one day" is known all over the world, with a triple-double in two games, and the strength that exceeded the rookie standard has shocked the basketball world.

Xie Hou's agent's phone number was blown up, and Xie Hou's phone number was blown up.

Advertising is endless, and Xie Hou's original advertisements come from China. Although the advertising endorsement fee is considered top-notch in China, it is just not in the market by American standards.

It's different now. Big brands are gradually coming up, and those sneaker companies are even more eyeing him.

Adidas claimed to offer a very aggressive offer to Xie Hou, so the offer they made was 50 million in 6 years.

This offer is indeed larger than any of Xie Hou's previous reports, and he did not agree on the spot because it was not only the only one who was interested in him.

Adidas' quote is more like a standard.

If other sneaker companies want to quote, they cannot be lower than this standard, otherwise there is no need to negotiate.

The company behind Adidas is Reebok. They offered a 60 million offer to Xie Hou for 6 years, surpassing Adidas.

If you have any quotation later, you have to follow this standard.

When the richest Nike came forward, neither Adidas nor Reebok could fight.

Nike's influence is incomparable to these two companies. They issued a 7-year, 80 million endorsement contract for Xie Hou, second only to James.

You know, he only played two NBA games.

When the news of Nike's offer from Xie Hou was spread, Barkley, who learned about the incident, said very regretfully: "I can understand that Arthur won 80 million endorsement fee for himself in two games?"

Then, I don’t know who got the news, and Nike’s pre-season offer to Xie Hou was revealed: 30 million in 5 years.

Sources said: "Arthur only took three seconds to make his agent solemnly reject Nike."

Then the season started. In these two games, he achieved value and made people see a wonderful future. Nike was able to fall in love with Jordan at a glance and created a legend of a business empire since then. They had this vision. They knew that Xie Hou might be a genius who was comparable to James.

Just when everyone thought that Xie Hou would accept Nike's offer.

That day, just as the news came out in the morning, there was a rumor in the afternoon that "Arthur rejected Nike! He also rejected Reebok and Adidas!"

According to the revelation of Chinese journalist Wu Ruoxi, "Arthur believes that he deserves a higher offer. If someone thinks he is worth the price, then continue to watch and he will prove himself with his performance."

In fact, Nike's offer and some additional terms were not lacking sincerity. Xie Hou refused because James' contract was bigger than him, and he did not think he was inferior to Lei Balong.

Since Nike offered him a contract smaller than James, what can he do? The easiest way is to continue to show his performance in the first two games and prove with practical actions that he is better than James.

For this reason, he didn't mind giving up his extra income of 10 million a year - the benefit of doing so was that he would wear whatever sneakers he wanted in the next year, and he couldn't wait to be a free little bird.

Rejecting Nike's offer is not as easy as the outside world seems, and he will be criticized because of this matter.

Some people think he is arrogant and greedy, and therefore hate him and discredit him.

It doesn't matter, he doesn't care about the hustle and bustle online (I can't help but squirt with them). He just wants to prove that he deserves a sneaker endorsement contract that is bigger than these recruits. If people think he is not worth it, then he will prove it to them.

Thinking of this, he felt much better.

Because of rejecting Nike's 7-year 80 million offer, Xie Hou not only caused heated discussions in the circle, but also became his first incident of becoming out of the circle. It was listed as a representative of insatiable greed by many media. Many primary schools began to use him as an example to educate the new generation of children in the United States - be content. If you have the opportunity to sign a 7-year 80 million contract, don't worry about the extra 10 million (in fact, Xie Hou believes that he deserves an endorsement contract of at least 7-year 100 million, so far).

This incident caused even his family to hear about it.

That night, after training, he went home for dinner, and everyone's expressions were very serious.

Home has always been a harbor for Xiehou. He can relax at home without having to deal with anyone deliberately, and do whatever he wants.

However, tonight, the atmosphere was obviously not right.

My father wanted to speak but stopped, my mother seemed to be organizing the language, and my younger brother and sister both looked admiration like "Brother, you are so awesome".

"What happened?" Xie Hou asked.

Xie Pingsheng said lightly: "Well, my god, I saw you on TV today." (You can see him on any channel today)

"Oh..." When Xie Hou heard that it was this, he felt relieved.

"Do you have nothing to say?" Chen Mimi stared at Xie Hou's face. He wanted to know what this kid was thinking. How could she give birth to such an idiot? She didn't have the money to deliver to her door, and what other bicycle would she want?

Xie Hou consciously served the rice (usually this is my mother's job, but he obviously lost his human rights in the Xie family tonight), and served half a bowl of rice, which was about 150 grams, which was inaccurate, just about the same thing. This is the carbohydrate he had to consume in this evening.

"Don't listen to people on TV talk nonsense, they don't know anything at all," Xie Hou explained.

"Did they just say that you rejected someone's big contract? " Not only did Chen Mimi not control herself, but instead sprayed out the rice that she didn't have time to swallow because of this sentence (no image! No image!). Fortunately, Xie Hou's dodging consciousness was first-class, and even if thousands of arrows flew past, he could avoid the edge. "Why are you not as good as you are? Be content with being a person. Have I never taught you? You still have the face to eat!"

Chen Mimi ruled the Xie family.

His father Xie Ping's life is always on the verge of obedience, and his younger brothers and sisters always provide spiritual support, and never show through actions that they have to survive this disaster by themselves.

“What if I have a legitimate explanation?”

"What a legitimate explanation can explain this matter clearly? 80 million in 7 years is not 8,000 rupees, but 80 million US dollars!"

Indeed, it is an out of reach for ordinary people.

Xie Hou said: "Of course I know to be content, but you have taught me to do my best to strive for the part I deserve. At least in this matter, that's what I did."

“Is this one thing?”

"Absolutely!" Xie Hou believed that it was impossible to overthrow Chen Mimi's rule, but he had to explain this matter clearly anyway, otherwise he would hear this from his mother every day in the next six months. "The player who entered the league with me was not as good as me. Just because he was an American, he got a bigger contract than me. I don't think I deserved the respect I deserve, so I refused. I want to use my performance to prove that I deserve a better contract, at least better than Lei Balong!"

"Lei Balong?" Xie Jun asked, "Aren't the dinosaurs extinct?"

Xie Nini said disgustedly: "How can dinosaurs become extinct? Didn't we just watch "Jurassic Park" a while ago?"

"Don't care about this." Xie Hou asked his younger brother and sister to stop.

Hearing Xie Hou's explanation, Chen Mimi quickly calmed down. Obviously, this matter was not as mentioned on TV. His son was a proud, arrogant and greedy idiot who was blinded by victory. He was fighting for his dignity (this reason was so high that it was unbelievable).

Chen Mimi finally asked: "What do you really think?"

Xie Hou felt things stabilized, and smiled happily, "Do you really think I'm an idiot?"

"That's not!" Chen Mimi's words made Xie Hou roll his eyes, "You have done too many idiots... But you did this right."

My mother is not unreasonable, Xie Hou confirmed this again.

"Since you have this confidence, we will support you in doing this (if you don't support it, what if you don't support it), I just hope that if you don't get a better contract in the future, don't regret it. This is the most important thing, don't regret it." Ms. Chen Mimi asked Xie Hou to put away her smile when she was serious.

He nodded solemnly and agreed.
