Chapter 73 What's wrong with more friends (4000+ characters big chapter, two in one)

"Wu, I think there is no sports brand that suits you better than us. You know, we have developed very rapidly in recent years, and our products are also higher than Nike and Adidas, which is more in line with your noble temperament. In addition to the independent brand, it is the next flying man Jordan..."

Under Armour's beauty marketing director, Lydia Hurst blinked his big eyes and said.

Wu Di swallowed his saliva, unable to stop his heartbeat.

After experiencing the fight, his popularity unexpectedly jumped, major brands began a new round of quotations.

Like Under Armour, he proposed a new contract to create an independent brand for him.

Independent brand contracts are also called super giant contracts because this is the treatment that only super first-tier superstars will receive. For example, Kobe has his own Mamba series, James has his own Emperor series, and Rose has his own Rose series.

This contract can give him an exclusive logo that is parallel to the main brand, and it can also give him greater voice in sneaker heel clothing design, which is no different from a sub-brand.

There is a saying in brand endorsement that ordinary endorsement contracts are just working for brands, superstar contracts, that is, signature shoe contracts, which are considered the son of the brand, and super giant contracts, which are marriages with brands, and to a certain extent, they are on par with brands.

It can't be more tempting.

But the problem is that the contract price is still $30 million in five years.

Damn it...

"There is dividends in the Feiren's contract."

Wu Di looked to the left through the window. It was in Chicago. When Jordan signed Nike, the price of a one-year contract was only $500,000, but due to dividends, he now directly earned more than $100 million a year.

"Gone are the times, my dear."

Hurst smiled and said that Jordan's contract does have dividend terms, with a dividend of 5% per year, and it is a dividend of sales, not a dividend of profit, it is simply a unique existence!

Which athlete doesn't want such a contract?

But there are still special situations after all. Nike was just a niche brand at that time, and Jordan's agent was also a business genius David Falke.

"You are so popular now, and the number of Twitter fans is less than 10 million. If you had the blessing of our traffic, you would have broken this number long ago!"

Hurst said sincerely again that Wu Di's fan growth has encountered a bottleneck now. If you want to grow again, you can only sign the contract as soon as possible.

Wu Di looked at Hurst, who was a rare career strong woman with a confident smile and capable hairstyle, and her eyes also revealed firmness.

Well, it's a type he's never collected.

"To be honest, $30 million, and further up, it is the contract price of the superstar. But you haven't finished playing for a season and are now injured. The conditions offered by other brands cannot be as good as ours."

After Hurst said that, he looked at him with his lips pursed.

But Wu Di still refused very much.

As soon as Hurst left, August, the marketing director of Adidas, came.

Wu Di was called to the garage door, behind August's Da Ben, there was a cart with a cool blue-black supercar on it!

"Hi Wu! Look at what I have brought to you, Italian brand, Deutsche Technology, French factory, European porridge light, Bugatti Veyron!"

August smiled and said, he turned on the headlights with the key in his hand, and there were Adid's signature three bars.

This wave of fantasy linkage really made Wu Di stunned.

At this time, the Bugatti Veyron is the fastest supercar in the world. With a 16-cylinder engine with 1,200 horsepower, it can accelerate by 100 times in just 2.5 seconds, and accelerate to 200 kilometers per hour in just 7.5 seconds, and the maximum speed can reach 407 kilometers per hour. It is an absolute supercar.

A Veyron costs more than US$1 million. Although Bugatti does not need to purchase the car at this time, it has to queue up to pick up the car, from payment to picking up the car for at least two years.

"Sign the contract, this car is yours!"

August tempted.

When Wu Di saw the contract, he shook his head again. It was still 30 million US dollars, and it was still 6 years.

He was a little helpless. Nike's Pierre also came this morning and brought all the AJ regular shoes as gifts, and said he could sign AJ.

If he could sign, he would be AJ's first Asian spokesperson, seven years earlier than Guo Ailun.

But the price is also $30 million in five years.

Reebok is even more bizarre. He found Wu Suhua directly in China and said he wanted to provide her with a job...

It's simply.

These brands seem to have reached some kind of tacit understanding and each has made a strange move, but they just don’t raise the quotation.

Wu Di refused all of it. He planned to meet his potential agent this Sunday, four days later.

That's right, Gilbert has told him that the agent mentioned last time has been in place and there will be a charity cocktail party this Sunday and we will meet officially.

Time passed quickly, and I experienced two games in between, both of which were the Cavaliers at home, but both lost.

The first game was against the Bulls. The Cavaliers lost a 112:67 mark in absent 9 players, setting the biggest loss record in team history.

Noah was very arrogant. In this case, he played four quarters. Wu Di must have recorded this.

Williams performed averagely, scoring 15 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

The second game was against the Wizards. This time, everyone except Wu Di returned to the field, but the Cavaliers still lost 98:93, allowing the Wizards to successfully revenge.

Williams performed well this time, scoring 28 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.

But the Wizards were in double digits, especially their lone wolf small forward Al Thorton, facing Jamison's defense, broke out and scored 32 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

Jamison's defensive awareness is fine, but when he meets a player like Al Thorton who is in his peak period, his physical fitness cannot keep up from the second quarter. In addition, the Cavaliers' players have poor awareness of supplementing defense and assisting defense, which makes Al Thorton explode.

This is also a loophole that the Cavaliers urgently need to fill now, defense.

And this loophole cannot be filled in a short while.

This is also illustrated by the pessimistic predictions of the media.

Their actual record is three wins and two losses, and their winning rate is 60%. They rank fifth in the Eastern Conference.

After three consecutive victories at the beginning, some media's predictions for the Cavaliers' performance have increased, but the highest was only to rise to 10th in the Eastern Conference, which can't even enter the playoffs...

A large part of the reason why there is such a pessimistic prediction is because of the Cavaliers' defensive problems.

Among the current main players, Gibson, Hickson, Sessions, Hollins' natural defensive colander, Davis and Jamison have physical problems, and Wu Di, Jordan Jr. and Parker's defense is OK.

Although the Cavaliers won three consecutive victories at the beginning, the Raptors and Bucks they defeated were teams that they could not even buy playoff tickets.

Although the Nuggets have the hope of making it to the playoffs, the huge difference in winning rates between home and away games shows that their true level is not as good as paper.

That's why the media's prediction of the 10th East is coming.

Wu Di was also anxious. Their goal was to be at least sixth in the Eastern Conference, but there was really not much time left for them to improve.

Scott is responsible for improving overall cooperative defense awareness.

With the improvement of single defense level, Wu Di is preparing to treat himself as a spear and fight one-on-one, and then the trainer observes and analyzes it next to him, and then improves it targetedly.

This is why Wu Di had to pay the fine for his teammates before, because there was no shortage of excuses to fight one-on-one.

So, he has to recover his wrist as soon as possible...

In fact, in college, Wu Di also twisted his ankle. Although the system did not have healing medicine, the recovery essence can accelerate recovery.

One drop of recovery essence can probably satisfy the natural recovery effect of 1 day, and the recovery essence can be used up to 3 drops a day. With natural recovery, it can be used up to 4 days in one day.

If it can be used unlimitedly, it can recover as early as 3 days.

But now it costs one drop of essence to recover one million US dollars, which is really expensive...

Or rather, he is still a little poor and is not making money fast enough.

In the two-legged walking strategy, the first leg increases the probability of the team winning, from the bottom 1 to the 10th, but it is not enough. It also requires strengthening defense and using Williams as a chip to exchange for combat power.

The second leg got a large endorsement contract. The price of his main endorsement contract rose to the order of 30 million and encountered a bottleneck. He needed to find the agent as soon as possible...

...

At 6 p.m. on November 5, Wu Di came to the grand Cleveland Museum of Art to attend the charity reception with an invitation letter sent by Gilbert.

There is a saying online that Cleveland's current urban population is only more than 300,000, but in the first half of the last century, the population was once close to one million, saying that Cleveland was declining greatly.

But in fact, there is a misunderstanding in the middle. In the second half of the last century, with the huge popularity of cars, a wave of suburbanization occurred, and citizens moved from crowded apartments in the city to the loose suburbs.

Therefore, it is more accurate to use the concept of a metropolitan area to count the population of an area. In 2010, the population of the Cleveland metropolitan area exceeded 2 million, which is actually an increase compared with the last century.

However, Cleveland's industrial transformation is indeed a fact. The city of Cleveland made a fortune by industry in the last century and gave birth to a number of industrial giants such as Standard Oil, Goodyear Rubber, and Republic Steel. Later, the decline of American industry, Cleveland transformed into the fields of finance, medical care and insurance.

The transformation is quite successful. Gilbert is the leader in the financial industry. In terms of medical care, Cleveland has the second-ranked top medical center in the United States, and in terms of insurance, there are also several giant insurance companies.

Although these industries generally have higher wages, the number of employed people that can be absorbed is far less than that of industries, which has led to an increase in unemployment rate. In order to retain more industrial enterprises, the state government chose to provide huge subsidies to them, which also led to a serious deficit in the state government and was unable to invest money to maintain infrastructure, which led to Cleveland's seemingly declining.

Having said that, Cleveland has born so many famous big companies and wealthy people, and there is still some foundation that has been accumulated.

For example, the Cleveland Museum of Art is one of the most important large-scale art institutions in the United States. It has a collection of works by famous artists such as Gauguin, Monet, Van Gogh, and Picasso.

The charity cocktail party at the Cleveland Museum of Art is held once a year. This year's theme is modern art. The works of some modern artists will be auctioned at the cocktail party. Rich and celebrities bid for the auction, and the works sold are donated to the museum for collection.

The name is a charity cocktail party, but it is actually a high-end social occasion, just like the various forums in China.

The cocktail party adopts an invitation system, which people are invited to attend and which works are invited to auction to enter the museum for tourists to admire. There are countless tricks.
