"Bill Duffy did some bad things behind my back, and that's the fundamental reason why I fired him.
I believe in Mr. Bass’s character and am willing to have a series of close cooperation with the Bass family.
To show my sincerity, I would like to take the initiative to tell you some information about myself. "
After Bill Duffy left angrily, Dunn and Bass sat down face to face and began to talk about future business cooperation.
Du En told Old Bass openly that Bill Duffy was fired because he negotiated contracts with others behind his back and harmed his interests.
Because Du En did not sign an agent contract with Bass Lao, he only verbally asked Bass Lao, or the Bass family, to be his agent for future business contracts.
Therefore, once the Bass family harms Du En's interests, Du En can break up with the Bass family just like today.
Seeing the little fox in front of him pretending to be powerful and mature, Old Bass also calmed down and listened patiently to what Du En had to say next.
I only heard Du En talking: "You know, I am a Chinese player, and I am backed by a huge market of two to three hundred million fans.
Therefore, many sports companies want to cooperate with me, including NBA sponsors such as Adidas, Nike, and Reebok.
You may have heard recently that Nike broke up with Yao Ming due to staff mistakes.
It was also because Yao Ming switched to Reebok, which seriously affected Nike's stock price, and Nike had to find another Chinese player.
Yes, that was me, and I got a huge contract from Nike.
The amount of the contract may be beyond your imagination. In short, it will be larger than the contract Kobe Bryant just signed.
Then I would get the treatment that Michael Jordan got.
Nike will help me contact ESPN and send a reporter to accompany me throughout my NBA career.
What he shoots and records will become the first-hand material for my future autobiography and biographical films.
He would record my private training sessions, my participation in games, and even go into the locker room with me.
So, I have to get your permission.
The Los Angeles Lakers belong to you. I have no intention of overstepping my authority. I just want to get some locker room conveniences with your permission.
If you don't agree, then please find me a next home as soon as possible! "
Hearing Du En's threat, Old Bass felt a little uncomfortable.
Old Buss didn't quite understand. It was clear that Duen was only the 13th pick in the first round. Why did he have the confidence to say such things to him?
However, facing the reality, Bass really had to accept Du En's threat.
As the head of the Lakers, Buss has a strong desire for control.
However, although old Bass is old, he is not old enough to be foolish.
Old Buss knew very well that no matter how ambitious Dunn was, he wanted to do something to his Lakers.
At least for three to five years, there will be no threat to the Bass family.
The real trouble for the Lakers is still the OK combination and the meritorious head coach Phil Jackson.
Taking into account O'Neal's 35 million contract in the 2005-06 season, as well as the contract renewals of Kobe and O'Neal in the next two years, Buss, who has no money in his pocket, has one head and two big heads.
In order to relieve the Lakers' financial difficulties, league president Stern even personally pushed Chinese player Du En to join the Lakers.
It is also for this reason that it is impossible for Bass to take the initiative to trade Duen to other teams after acquiring Duen.
The God of Wealth finally came, how could he send him away again?
Even if it's not for money, offending Stern for no reason is not a wise move.
Considering what Du En just said, Nike gave Du En the treatment that Jordan received for the sake of the Chinese market.
Old Bass also heard a little bit about exclusive reporters entering the team's locker room.
I am afraid that I will be more familiar with Phil Jackson, the current head coach of the Lakers.
Therefore, considering the benefits that Duen brought, considering that Duen took the initiative to fire his agent and let the Lakers become his agent for business cooperation.
Old Bass is still willing to make friends with Du En!
"How could I not agree?
I have long said that you are the future of the Lakers.
Now that you have gained Nike's attention, I am willing to work with Nike to further develop your business value.
However, we also hope that you can work hard to realize your talents and don't let us down.
We will provide you with a big enough stage.
Whether you can become China's Michael Jordan depends on your own ability. "
Old Bass took the initiative to reach out his hand. Seeing this, Du En extended his hand and responded with a bright smile like a melon.
"The Lakers have taken care of it! The next step is to take care of Nike!" Du En thought to himself.
In his previous life, Dunn had heard the stories of Bill Gates' son-in-law and the World Bank's vice president, and now he wanted to use the banners of the Lakers and Nike to profit from both ends.
In fact, Nike CEO Phil Knight has had a lot of private discussions with Dunn in the past few days. In addition to the conditions of ESPN's exclusive reporter, the contract amount has also increased from 30 million in 5 years to 50 million in 6 years. .
It's just that Du En is greedy and wants more.
If the contract amount can be increased, it must be increased a little more. In terms of rewards such as All-Stars, All-NBA Teams, and Championships, if you can ask for more, you must ask for more.
Considering that Nike and Kobe Bryant have just signed a contract this year, once the Eagle County incident breaks out, Nike's stock price will be implicated again.
If there is such an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, why not take advantage of it?
When the time comes, Du En joins Nike, which will not add insult to injury, but provide help in times of need to help Nike tide over the difficulties!
However, the commercial contract is not a standard rookie contract, and all terms must be discussed carefully one by one.
Dunn first used the person in charge of the Lakers legal department to discuss the general content with Nike.
Then when the Eagle County incident breaks out, we will completely close the net and reap the benefits!
“Phil, you finally answered the phone!
I have good news for you, I fired Bill Duffy!
Okay, now we can officially discuss cooperation.
In addition, I have some good news for you.
I officially signed a contract with the Los Angeles Lakers. Old Buss values me very much and will train me to be the next Kobe Bryant.
I will be the sixth man for the Lakers next season, and I will also be the strongest contender for Rookie of the Year!
By the way, in the offseason the Lakers will form a Big Four championship lineup with the OK combination as the core and Karl Malone and Gary Payton as minions.
The Big Four of the Lakers will be popular across the United States, and I have obtained the consent of Old Buss to allow me to bring reporters into the locker room! "
After Old Bass sent someone to put Duan in a hotel near the Toyota Center, Duan immediately called Phil Knight.
Phil Knight has already heard rumors about the Lakers forming a Big Four, but the free market has not yet opened, and anything is possible.
As for the rest of what Du En said, Phil Knight was just doubtful.
"Does Old Bass value Duan that much? Is that guy David adding fuel to the fire? It seems I have to spend a little more money again!"
Phil Knight relaxed a little and gave Duan a little more value.
However, Du En did not agree so readily. Instead, he called Old Bass again.
"Didn't you sign the contract yet? Don't worry, Du En, I will treat you like my own child, and I will definitely not let you suffer!"
As Duan handed over the task of negotiating with Nike to Old Bass, Old Bass paid more attention to and liked Duan.
Early the next morning, Duan wore casual clothes and came to the Toyota Center.
Perhaps the Toyota Center that most domestic fans know is the one for the Houston Rockets.
In fact, the Lakers' training arena is also called the Toyota Center.
Next, Du En will train hard in this arena and digest the new template as soon as possible before the summer league arrives.
