"Someone is living a very cool life. Can you tell me what the invitation is?" Xu Xiaoyi looked at Jiang Hao with a slight smile.
Jiang Hao's face was full of black lines. He didn't know how to explain it, so he had to tell everything, including the fact that that bastard Sean invited him to the nightclub more than once.
"So you went?"
"of course not"
………
During lunch, Jiang Hao received a call from Rich Paul. On the phone, Rich Paul told Jiang Hao very excitedly that as Jiang Hao performed better and better in the playoffs, the person who had been looking for him in the past two days
There are more and more partners, including those from the United States, China, and even some famous brands in Europe are asking about the possibility of cooperation.
Rich Paul told Jiang Hao that he was as exhausted as a dog these past two days and had to get up at 3 a.m. every day to start work.
As he said when he left San Antonio a few days ago, as the offseason is approaching, his business is destined to become extremely troublesome because he has dozens of NBA players to deal with.
"So, Rich, I have good news to tell you. Starting from today, my girlfriend has officially become a part of the team behind me. She is mainly responsible for the public relations part of the work. I think this can help you share a lot of the work."
pressure"
Letting Xu Xiaoyi work by his side was Jiang Hao's decision after careful consideration. On the one hand, he could spend more time with Xu Xiaoyi. On the other hand, Xu Xiaoyi was also good at this aspect, and he was very good at it.
As a host, she is naturally suited to dealing with the media.
"Girlfriend? Damn it, we have been working together for so long, and this is the first time I know you have a girlfriend."
On the other end of the phone, Rich Paul was a little stunned.
"Jiang, two days ago the sexy and voluptuous Victoria's Secret girl, the famous Kendall Jenner, publicly flirted with you. I thought something might happen between you. After all, I don't think you would refuse Kendall Jenner.
"I received an invitation, but I didn't expect that you already have a girlfriend," Rich Paul joked.
Jiang Hao shook his head helplessly.
What Rich Paul just mentioned did indeed happen some time ago. Supermodel Kendall Jenner, who is sought after by countless NBA players, did publicly express her "love" to him.
This is what Kendall Jenner said at the time. When someone asked her if she would mind having something to do with the now-famous Spurs No. 35, Kendall Jenner said generously that the Spurs No. 35 is a very good player.
His personal charm also seemed to be outstanding, and she wouldn't mind something happening between them if there was a chance.
Having lived in the United States for several years, Jiang Hao is not surprised by the boldness of American girls, not to mention that Kendall Jenner comes from the famous Kardashian family.
He was just a little surprised. He and Kendall Jenner had never met each other before. This woman was really a lover of many men. Did she want to change her taste?
However, maybe he has to say sorry, because he doesn't like such girls. Relatively speaking, he still likes Chinese girls with the same skin color.
What's more, when Kendall Jenner indirectly conveyed her love to him, he was already having a heated fight with Xu Xiaoyi.
Therefore, at that time, Jiang Hao did not respond to Kendall Jenner's remarks, but chose to ignore them.
Even so, Jiang Hao clearly remembered that Xu Xiaoyi was angry with him for several days because of this incident.
In addition to teasing Jiang Hao and welcoming Xu Xiaoyi to join Jiang Hao's team, Rich Paul mainly discussed cooperation with General Motors with Jiang Hao in the following period.
Rich Paul told Jiang Hao that he had received an invitation from General Motors for an endorsement contract this morning. General Motors seemed to be very sincere, and their representatives said as soon as they opened their mouth that they were willing to pay Jiang Hao an endorsement fee of US$8 million per year.
Frankly speaking, this made Rich Paul almost throw away his cell phone, because the offer was completely beyond his expectation.
So his first reaction was to agree. However, the instinct of a professional agent for many years immediately told him that the other party would definitely have additional conditions.
Sure enough, GM later stated that they hoped Jiang Hao could sign an endorsement contract with them for more than five years at one time.
5 years?
If it were an ordinary or even ordinary All-Star player under his banner, Rich Paul swore that he would agree to the other party's request without hesitation.
But now GM wants to cooperate with Jiang Hao, which makes Rich Paul have to be cautious.
Rich Paul is naturally very optimistic about Jiang Hao's future in the NBA. In this case, a five-year endorsement contract of US$40 million seems to be a super lucrative contract, but in fact, in the end, he woke up laughing after falling asleep.
People may be universal.
If Jiang Hao grows into a superstar like LeBron James in the next five years, the profit that GM will recover from Jiang Hao every year will be far more than 8 million US dollars.
Obviously, GM's decision-makers have reached a consensus, and they are definitely optimistic about Jiang Hao's future in the NBA.
Therefore, in this case, Rich Paul had to discuss with Jiang Hao immediately.
"Rich, you are a professional agent. Since I trust you, I will trust your decision. I will leave it to you to decide on the cooperation with GM. But there is one thing I must make clear to you in advance. That
It’s public opinion about who we cooperate with, and I don’t want to be bound by them one day in the future.”
Jiang Hao was more decisive than Rich Paul imagined. After he stated his bottom line, he left all other matters to Rich Paul.
After hanging up the phone, Rich Paul took a deep breath. He already knew what to do, and then dialed GM's phone number.
One day later, Jiang Hao and GM announced the news that the two parties had reached a cooperation.
Jiang Hao and GM signed a five-year advertising endorsement contract with a total contract value of US$65 million. In addition to paying Jiang Hao a fixed endorsement fee of US$10 million per year, the remaining US$10 million becomes a bonus clause, such as two
Be selected for the All-Star Game within the year, such as being selected for the All-NBA Team, etc.
After people learned the news, they all envied Jiang Hao very much. Today's "Bayoto" is truly a winner in life. Not only does he have the opportunity to lead the Spurs to the finals and create a new history, but he also continues to have big financial backers.
find him.
Isn't this the dream of an NBA player?
And everyone also understands that this is just the beginning. Let's make a bold assumption. If the "Bayoto" really reaches the finals, and after facing the Cleveland Cavaliers, his chances of winning will be even better than facing the Golden State Warriors.
Even bigger, that is to say, "Bayotide" has a chance to win the O'Brien Cup in the first season of his career. Especially, if he can continue the state of the Western Conference Finals on the stage of the finals, then the fv trophy will also be
Maybe it's his.
what does that mean?
It means that the new Earvin Johnson of the 21st century is officially born, and it also means that after Stephen Curry, a new epoch-making player is rising.
And when that time comes, he will receive many more invitations from sponsors than he does now.
Of course, this is just an assumption. The Golden State Warriors are not the Houston Rockets. Although they are currently behind 0:2 in the series, in fact, they have the ability to let the two chase four. Even though most people are optimistic about the San Antonio Spurs now, don't forget
Yes, the Golden State Warriors have the capital to reverse the comeback.
On a smaller scale, they have superstars like Kevin Durant, and on a larger scale, they have four All-Stars. In the past two years, they have successfully accumulated championship heritage.
Thinking back to last season's Western Conference finals, didn't they also trail the Houston Rockets 0:2? But what was the final result? It was the Houston Rockets who were eliminated.
"Bayoto" is confident but not blindly confident. This is the impression he has left on people more than once since he came to this league.
One day later, at the Spurs training facility, Bayonet, who had just finished training, was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.
When a reporter asked him if he was planning to prepare for the finals, he was interrupted by a bayonet.
"I think you are not a professional media worker, or you are in the wrong place because we are playing in the Western Conference Finals tonight, and our opponent is the powerful defending champion."
Bayonet's remarks made the reporter very embarrassed. Of course he knew that tonight was the Western Conference Finals. He just wanted to dig a hole for Bayonet to gain some attractive selling points.
But obviously, his little trick was completely seen through.
The other reporters at the scene were also very satisfied after hearing Jiang Hao's answer. After all, a person who is confident but not blindly confident always makes people feel happy.
As usual, after finishing the interview, Jiang Hao did not leave the training hall immediately, but went directly to the video room. He has been watching the wonderful passing video of Steve Nash, the passing master, over and over again in the past two days. He wanted to
Learn some lessons with these great passes.
In fact, watching the Steve Nash game video was recommended to him by head coach Popovich.
Popovich knew that Jiang Hao had the habit of watching videos, so he recommended Steve Nash's game videos to Jiang Hao in view of some of the problems Jiang Hao exposed in the game.
Popovich told Jiang Hao that many times, passing comes from inspiration. After more than half a season of cooperation, Jiang Hao and the Spurs have completely integrated into each other. There is no big problem with the tacit cooperation. In this kind of
Under the circumstances, Jiang Hao is fully qualified to make some unexpected passes.
After all, both Popovich and Jiang Hao themselves could predict that in tonight's game, the Warriors would no longer give him a chance to take action.
In this case, if Jiang Hao wants to continue to influence the game, he must stand up in other aspects. In addition to the defensive end, organizing the team's offense is undoubtedly more important.
