One Guard

The beautiful sunset reflected the surface of Baiyan Lake into orange red, and the sky and the water surface became one piece, which seemed to form a road leading to the sky. Countless tourists raised their cameras on the banks of Baiyan Lake and took this extremely beautiful picture.

"It's such a beautiful scenery." Through the window, Mark King admired the unique beautiful scenery beside Baiyan Lake. It's really nice to be able to buy a small villa in this kind of place.

"The scenery of Baiyan Lake is really good. If you have time, you can go to the lake for a walk. That's not a special flavor." Opposite Mark King, Bill Duffy took the right to speak with a smile, and the people next to him Yiyang just sat on the stool blankly and took a sip of coffee.

"Also, how much did you spend to buy this villa?" Mark King's gaze retracted from the window and fell on Yiyang's cold face.

"It's more than one million dollars. I heard that there are vacant rooms for sale." Yiyang replied lightly. He thought it was the other party who wanted to buy a house here. However, this fellow Mark King has something to say.

"More than one million dollars? That's only one-third of your endorsement income. Hahaha, this house is really a bargain!" Mark King said deliberately to highlight Adidas' offer to Yiyang The contract price is high.

"In the last few days, your performance in the playoffs is really dazzling. When passing by the American Airlines Center Arena today, I saw the adidas ad that was endorsed by you outside. To be honest, our plan is very suitable for you, you His outstanding performance has also doubled our revenue. If we continue to sign with you for a $3.3 million contract, it would be the biggest disrespect to you! Therefore, Armstrong and I decided to sign a brand new long-term contract with you today. Make an appointment.” After enjoying the beauty of Baiyan Lake, Mark King finally went straight to the subject.

After Mark finished speaking, Armstrong pushed the contract to Yiyang and Duffy. When they saw the string of "0"s behind the contract endorsement fee, they were both dumbfounded. Adidas this time, but it's a real game!

"US$250 million in 10 years, I don't think any company can show more sincerity than us." Looking at the surprised expressions of Duffy and Yiyang, Mark King smiled triumphantly. Although Duffy is a top manager, even he is the first time he has dealt with such a large amount of contracts for his players!

Although Yiyang had heard Duffy say this number when he was on the phone, he couldn't help swallowing after seeing the contract with his own eyes. Yiyang's pursuit of money is indeed not as strong as it was when he first entered the alliance, but in the face of rewards of hundreds of millions of dollars, a normal person would be excited.

Bill Duffy is more knowledgeable than Yiyang, but he also knows that 250 million US dollars is almost a price that does not need to be considered. The contract signed by Adidas and Ross last year was 190 million in 14 years. Yiyang's contract is only 10 years, but it is worth 250 million. As a top manager, Duffy naturally understands this kind of elementary school mathematics. Both parties have reached a confidentiality agreement on the details of this renewal, the purpose of which is to prevent Ross's team from conflicting with Adidas. Biros' offer is so much higher, which can also be seen the high expectations of Adidas.

"This is indeed not a small amount, Mr. Mark, what do you think?" Duffy looked at Yiyang. Although 250 million is already an astronomical figure, if Yiyang wants to, Duffy will continue to raise the price. But Yiyang is not the kind of insatiable person, 250 million US dollars, this price has already satisfied him very much.

Seeing Yiyang nodded lightly, Duffy carefully flipped through the contract details. Ten years of 250 million is indeed quite a lot, but the experienced Duffy knows very well that he cannot be overwhelmed by temporary joy.

"Athlete awards?" When Duffy, who looked through the contract, saw such an unfamiliar word, he couldn't help but question. The contract states that if Yiyang has not won any "athlete awards" for two consecutive years, the endorsement contract revenue will be reduced by 50%. The problem is that the term "athlete award" does not exist in the NBA. Duffy looked up at Mark, hoping he could explain.

"We just hope to use this contract term to refer to some specific awards in the NBA. These awards include the most valuable player, selection to the All-Star team, winning the NBA championship, selection to the first team, second team or third team of the season's best team, etc. . In order to avoid repeating the names of all the above awards in the contract, we choose a noun to refer to them. In other words, as long as you don’t return empty-handed for two consecutive years in the next 10 years, you don’t have to worry about it. The issue of the amount being cut." Mark King spread his hands, and with such an explanation, this request does not seem to be excessive.

Judging from the current development trajectory of Yiyang, even if he does not get any honor, it is almost impossible for him to miss the All-Star lineup for two consecutive years. Unless, Yiyang had some serious injury. But things like injuries are unpredictable. What's more, Yiyang has played in full attendance for three consecutive seasons so far. He does not have a vulnerable physique, and the chance of encountering major injuries is even smaller than that of Rose, the youngest MVP.

Some other details of the contract are understandable to Duffy. Nothing more than that, Yiyang must wear Adidas sneakers to attend all public occasions. In the future, even if Vignali gives Yiyang the boots of the Jordan generation, Yiyang can only collect it, not on his feet.

Adidas has the right to post on Yiyang's social media accounts for the purpose of promoting the product. In addition, if Yiyang is involved in a public scandal, then Adidas also has the right to unilaterally terminate the contract. If someone else encounters this clause, Duffy may hesitate. But as far as Yiyang is concerned, Duffy is very at ease with his private life.

The most important point, this contract is a signed shoe contract. In other words, in the next few years, Adidas will vigorously develop Yiyang's exclusive signature shoes. For top players, a high-value signature shoe endorsement contract can give him more exposure opportunities, show his more personalized side, and also help players better connect with fans and consumers. It is undeniable that the added value brought by the signature shoe contract will be extremely beneficial to the players in building their personal brands during their long careers.

Think about how popular Nike's James, Durant and Kobe series sneakers are on a global scale, you know why Adidas is so keen on creating exclusive sneakers for Yiyang. Signature sneakers are often the hottest and most popular sneakers. The influence of signature sneakers will run through the growth process of fans, which represents a unique style and story background of their favorite players.

After all the terms have been thoroughly studied by Duffy, this experienced manager Chong Yiyang nodded gently. "There are no other problems with the contract. If you want, we can sign it now."

Hearing Duffy let go, Mark King's heart touched his throat. He just received an internal message saying that Nike has prepared an 11-year, $300 million super sky-high contract for Yiyang! If Yiyang does not sign now, then Adidas will most likely lose their current most popular brand spokesperson. Seeing Yiyang’s expressionless face, Mark even felt that he was even more nervous than shooting a lore now~www.novelmtl.com~Yiyang looked at Duffy, and then at the string in the contract." 0" number. Now that Duffy says it's okay, what advice can someone who doesn't know anything about contracts make? There is nothing too harsh about the terms, but there are many incentives. Yiyang didn't think about it long before he picked up the pen on the table.

After signing this contract, Yiyang will become one of the highest shoe endorsement fees in the basketball world. But now he didn't think so much, he only knew that he and his mother would never have to spend those **** hard days.

Yiyang made up his mind, and then signed his name neatly on the contract. Until this moment, Mark King finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sorry Nike, you are holding $1 billion now, and there is nowhere to smash it! You have James, Durant and Kobe, and now, we are also hoarding potential stocks like Ross and Yiyang! It seems that Adidas' turnaround seems to be about to succeed.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Mark King excitedly raised the wine glass, to be precise, the coffee cup, because Yiyang insisted not to drink, after all, he will have a game tomorrow.

"Well, let's forget all those serious terms for the time being. Happy summer, Duffy, also. Thank you for your hard work in the past three years. I believe that in the next ten years, we will cooperate more happily!"

"Yes, you give the money and we work." Duffy also raised his cup, "Cheers, I think in the days to come, we will have a better mood to sit together and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Baiyan Lake."

The four coffee cups collided lightly, making a crisp sound. A huge contract was born unknowingly under the sunset on the shore of Baiyan Lake...
