The owner of the second largest sports shoe brand in the country saw an uncontrollable smile on Fan Xi's face, and he was also happy from the bottom of his heart.
For him, this is indeed an astronomical expenditure, but at the same time he is a shrewd businessman.
Signing Fan Xi with a lifetime sports endorsement worth RMB 1 billion is definitely not a loss.
Converted to US dollars, 1 billion yuan is about 135 million. Although it seems larger than the first sponsorship contracts of superstars such as LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Derrick Rose, they only signed for five or six years.
However, he wanted to hold Fan Xi for the rest of his life.
As a keen boss, he often comes to the United States. These two days, he saw completely different scenes on TV.
In the past, when Chinese players entered the NBA, they were only popular on Chinese TV.
Even for a star of Yao Quan's level, there is very little discussion in the United States.
But Fan Xi has broken this probability. His discussion rate is very high, and it is not only popular on TV stations, but also on the Internet. Now, American fans actually initiated a vote for him to enter the All-Star Game.
You must know that in the past, Yao Huang's entry into the All-Star Game depended entirely on the votes of Chinese fans. Later, Yi Jianlian also caused an incident that greatly upset the American media, so that now the votes from non-American areas are not fully included in the data.
This illustrates a truth.
Fanci is extremely recognized and loved by the American people. Moreover, he is also favored by professionals. As an undrafted player, he can allow a giant team like the Lakers to offer a contract that is unique in history, which shows that he has a bright future.
Successful businessmen are extremely accurate in their ability to capture information.
Therefore, he thought he had offered a price that Fan Xi could not refuse.
Fan Xi was indeed shocked.
However, when he woke up from the joy after his talent surged, he quickly calmed down.
His mother often taught him that if a person gives you an unprecedented delicacy for no reason, you should be careful about the trap behind the delicacy. Usually only hunters will throw out amazing baits.
At this time, the annoying cousin came over and said to the boss: "1 billion? You are not kidding. Isn't this too..."
He doesn't want Fan Xi to become a billionaire all of a sudden.
He was very upset now. He originally asked Fan Xi to come over, just to make himself look good so that he could do business in the future. He never thought that Fan Xi would get 1 billion yuan from this.
The boss was really arrogant. He asked his secretary to take out the contract from his briefcase: "Xiao Xi, this is a contract written in black and white. As long as you sign this contract, you will be given 30 million immediately. This amount will be paid every year in the future."
.After you retire, we will settle the remaining amount through equity."
The equity the boss talks about is actually a trap.
According to what he said, he would give Fan Xi 30 million yuan a year, which is about 5 million US dollars, and then deduct half of the tax. In fact, it is not much.
The most important thing is that the career of professional players is not long, the median length of the NBA is 8 years. According to this calculation, Fanshiy will get about the same as his current contract.
If Fan Xi becomes a super star during this period, the stock price of the company that has his endorsement rights will inevitably rise. When converted into shares, it will only be a drop in the bucket.
Capital is very good at painting the pie and creating traps.
It seems that 1 billion is an astonishing astronomical number.
When it comes down to it...it's actually not much.
Fan Xi did not accept the contract, but said: "Thank you very much for your trust in me. This is indeed a very amazing number. However, it is difficult for me to make such a major decision on my own without discussing it with my parents."
Fan Xi actually refused.
This was beyond everyone's expectation, including the boss.
On the contrary, his cousin was overjoyed. He didn't want his cousin to make so much money.
"Are you worried that there are traps in my contract? You can ask your uncle to check it carefully for you. Or, you can find a professional lawyer. It will be no problem. You can even call your parents now." The boss showed
Great sincerity.
Fan Xi still smiled slightly and said: "I still can't make a decision in a short time. This is really too important for my life."
"Yeah, that's right. This money is too much... No, I mean, this money is a lot of pressure for Jack, and he needs a lot of time to digest it." The cousin on the side also agreed.
Fan Xi turned her head and glanced at her cousin who had different opinions. She thought to herself that this person was still as 'shady as ever'.
"Xiao Xi, you have to know that athletes and stocks are the same. They go up and down. You should quickly exit the position when it is at a high level, instead of holding it in your hands until it falls to a low level and you are stuck before selling..." This person
The sneaker boss said meaningfully.
Fan Xi smiled.
His smile turned into a hearty laugh.
He said: "I think I am a potential stock, otherwise you would not be willing to bet 1 billion yuan so early. I will become stronger."
"That's good." The sneaker boss nodded with a smile. Only then did he realize that this little guy was not that innocent, but it was okay, top athletes would not last long without a smart brain.
"Xiao Xi, I also think you will get stronger and stronger. Come on, you will definitely get more than 1 billion." His cousin breathed a sigh of relief next to him.
Fan Xi turned around: "Really? Do you really think so? My dear cousin...uncle."
Fan Xi emphasized the word "table" very strongly.
My cousin was sweating. He didn't expect Fan Xi to suddenly become a different person, with an extremely powerful aura.
"Of course." He said guiltily.
"Everyone, this is my cousin. He is in the sports shoe OEM business. My parents took him out to do this business together. Now he seems to be doing better than my dad. So, if you have any questions in the future,
Order, you must take care of my parents."
Fan Xi bowed his hands to everyone, and then said to the boss of the second largest sports brand in the country: "Especially you, if you can hand over part of the order to my parents, our future cooperation will definitely become smoother and smoother.
.”
The boss understood immediately and quickly promised: "Don't worry, Xiaoxi. Regardless of whether we can cooperate in the future, we are willing to maintain a good relationship with you."
The surrounding brands also say the same thing.
Fan Xi smiled and thanked them one by one.
His cousin's face was extremely pale. He never dreamed that this guy who looked inconspicuous when he was young could be so powerful and stab him in the back like this.
He felt extremely uncomfortable.
Fan Xi, on the other hand, left after saying a few words and did not stay here longer.
After Fan Xi left, the dinner also ended very quickly. Because these bosses were all here for Fan Xi, and none of the bosses here was a good person. They clearly heard from Fan Xi's mouth what Fan Xi and this person were.
The relationship with his cousin is not as good as he boasted. In that case, why should we give him face?
My cousin looked at the empty box and was dumbfounded.
He originally thought that Fan Xi would be like his parents, the kind of person who wanted to save face and suffer the consequences, the kind of person who kept silent even though he took advantage of him.
Unexpectedly... Fan Xi, who looked inconspicuous when he was a child, was so cruel that he gave him a knife directly.
His vitality is severely weakened, and his factory orders will definitely drop rapidly.
And the foundry factory of Fan Xi's parents, who has been bullied and secretly slandered by him for more than ten years, will definitely receive a lot of orders because of this.
This little guy was so angry.
He quickly found someone to check Fan Xi's situation in the NBA, and asked Fan Xi what level he was in the NBA, whether he could gain a foothold in the NBA, and whether he could really become a so-called star player and bring glory to the country.
The person who checked it for him quickly sent back the information.
"We still don't know if your nephew can gain a foothold in the NBA. He has only played three games and is still very immature. Although the Lakers gave him a big contract and American fans are very fond of him, NBA players all hate him.
Yes. A Nets player even said that he will be beaten tomorrow night. If your nephew is beaten by Harris tomorrow night, his reputation will be completely ruined. You have to remind him to pay attention."
After reading the message, my cousin threw the phone away.
I said fiercely in my heart: Should I remind him? I should remind him, I wish he would be beaten right away.
This is the face of some relatives.
They are often the people who hate you the most.
…
The game between the Lakers and the Knicks started at Madison Garden Arena.
However, the American media is obviously more concerned about Fanci sitting on the bench. In the past two days, Fanci's contract has become known to everyone in the United States. Everyone is discussing this matter, so the media has been on the Lakers bench.
Side swaying.
Fan Xi simply returned to the locker room after halftime.
The Lakers lost this victory without Kobe Bryant, Andrew Bynum and Vanheed.
Although the New York Knicks did not resolve the compatibility between their two power forwards in this game, they still had a slight advantage compared to the chaotic Lakers.
After this game, everyone actually knew one thing. When Fanci was on the team, the Lakers' offense was much smoother than before.
"At least two people between Steve Blake, Shannon Brown and Derek Fisher are going to leave this team."
After the game, the commentator said bluntly that he believed the two Lakers point guards were approaching the end of their Lakers careers.
The Lakers have no reason to hoard four point guards in the team, especially after spending tens of millions of dollars in annual salary to renew Fanci's contract, the salary burden is getting heavier and heavier.
It is worth mentioning that after Devin Harris posted the declaration of war on his personal social platform, attention to the game between the Lakers and the Nets skyrocketed. TNT even changed its live broadcast plan and broadcast the game to the United States.
A game that should never have been shown on live television across the United States.
The fans were still very happy. Everyone was concerned about whether Fan Xi could continue to perform miracles and knock down unconvinced challengers.
However, for those basketball experts and players who think that the amount of Fanshie's contract is too dazzling, they all hope that Devin Harris will kill Fanshie and make him lose face in order to set the record straight.
"I am an honest person, and I always take responsibility for what I say. But, this time, it is an exception. The formal contract given by the Lakers is so beyond the norm, I have to suspect that this is a disguised dumping. So,
I have to do my punishment after the game between the Lakers and the Nets. If Fan plays a performance worthy of his current worth in this game, of course I will kneel down and shout, 'Jack Fan is my basketball god.'"
Charles Barkley once again reiterated on TNT's live show: "I will do what I say."
But his partner Kenny Smith thought he was cheating and believed that if he was a man of his word, he should kneel down and fulfill his promise as soon as the NBA announced that the contract came into effect.
But Barkley had his excuses.
Kenny said: "Come on. You won't be able to escape. It will just delay you for another day."
"Do you think Fan can beat Devin Harris? Devin Barris is a standard elite player, and the current head coach of the Nets once coached him when he was with the Mavericks."
"The most important thing is, I heard that the entire league is helping Harris analyze Fancy's weaknesses. Harris's mailbox is full of their analysis. It seems that many people want Fancy to be ruined in this game."
Buckley said this.
In fact, what he said is true.
In just one day, Fanshie became the public enemy in the minds of most NBA players because he got an unprecedented contract. He jumped out of the existing rookie contract framework and became the first to get the grapes.
people.
So, of course some people will want to embarrass him.
Kobe Bryant discussed this matter with Vanhee on the phone. He hoped that Vanhee would stabilize. He also talked to Phil Jackson privately, claiming that if Vanhee could survive this wave of attacks, he would have a chance to become a star in the future.
Phil Jackson was very optimistic. He said: "I will let him play the whole game on the court, if his physical fitness allows."
Since Devin Harris proposed a head-to-head confrontation, let them go head-to-head.
Let all grudges be settled with one battle.
As for the outcome, let God's things belong to God and Satan's things belong to Satan.
…
Selena and Taylor Swift left early from Long Island, New York, and went to watch the game at an arena in suburban New Jersey.
Taylor Swift was reluctant to go to the game with her because she thought the game was mediocre.
Selena said mysteriously: "You just come with me. I will tell you a secret tonight and give you a huge surprise."
"Really?" Taylor was doubtful.
"Didn't you say you want to know who the lover of my dreams is? I will reveal the answer to you tonight." Selena said to her best friend.
Taylor immediately became interested: "You mean the man in your dreams who makes you fascinated and brings you unprecedented physical happiness? The man who makes you feel electric shock all over your body, as if you are rolling on the clouds?"
"Yes." Selena nodded shyly.
Oh, damn.
Taylor covered her chest and said, "I really hope you are not lying. I also want to meet such a man."
However, another handsome and shy figure subconsciously appeared in her mind.
