At the same time that China entered night, America ushered in a new day.
Neck Headquarters, Beaverton, Oregon.
A temporary emergency meeting was being held in a fifty-square-meter conference room.
A man in a suit with a slicked back hair turned on the projector and clicked on the slides in his notebook.
On the first slide, Li Kaiming’s huge photo was clearly visible.
The man in the suit cleared his throat and began, "The boss gave us a temporary task to evaluate the possibility of signing Li Kaiming."
In front of the conference table, a blond man said first, "I think this guy has a lot of future. He may have the opportunity to become the spokesperson of a series in the future!"
Everyone's eyes widened when they heard the blond man's remarks.
A red-haired woman with glasses knocked on the table and said to the blond man, "Henry, do you have too high expectations for this guy? If you want to be the spokesperson of one of our series, you have to be a perennial all-star. , or an MVP-level player, Li Kaiming has not even entered the NBA, it is too early to draw a conclusion now."
As soon as the red-haired woman finished speaking, most people in the conference room nodded in agreement.
Henry looked around at everyone in the conference room with a serious expression on his face, "Everyone, I'm not joking with you. My understanding of basketball is the deepest among everyone in this room. I'm never wrong about people!" "
The man in the suit interrupted, "Henry, you do have a way of judging people, but we are a sports company, not an NBA team. What we have to do is to explore the commercial value of a player, not to see whether he can have a successful career." career!"
Henry turned his head and stared at the man in the suit, "Karl, look at the current discussion about Li Kaiming on the Internet. Do you think he will be a player with no hot spots?"
Everyone in the conference room fell silent.
Yes, with 30+10 performances in two consecutive games, coupled with the following gimmicks of overcoming top players and being a dark horse, Li Kaiming is undoubtedly the most popular player in the entire NCAA, bar none!
Karl, the man in the suit, did not give in at all, "Henry, what we need is a player who will be extremely popular after entering the NBA, not a college player, do you understand?"
Henry shook his head, "Most All-Stars and Hall of Fame players were successful college or high school players before entering the league. When we signed LeBron James, why didn't you doubt whether a high school student could play in the league? Excellent performance in the NBA?"
Karl was startled. Yes, even James, one of the hottest superstars in the league, signed a sky-high endorsement contract with Nike in his first year in the league.
But he still shook his head, "Henry, he is not LeBron..."
Henry was about to retort, but the red-haired woman from before suddenly intervened, "Henry, don't forget, this guy's Achilles tendon has also been ruptured. Considering this factor, I think we should lower his endorsement level! "
As soon as the red-haired woman's reason came out, the whole place fell silent instantly!
Everyone made a decision at this moment!
Originally, a few people were still wavering under Henry's strong persuasion, but as soon as the red-haired woman said the words, these people immediately fell to the opposite side.
It's not that Henry's reason is not good enough, but that the red-haired woman's reason is too strong!
This group of people is a team specially organized by Nike to evaluate contracted players. All of them are elites in the field of basketball commercialization. Naturally, they know what an Achilles tendon rupture means to a professional athlete. !
Even Henry himself, who was still arguing hard before, had no choice but to sigh helplessly after hearing this reason, then spread his hands and said, "Okay, but in this case, I'm afraid Li Kaiming will not agree to our conditions..."
Before he finished speaking, the red-haired woman sneered, "Come on Henry, we are Naike, Naike! All players in the world want to sign with us, and all professional athletes are proud to sign with us. , how could there be a fool who would not sign a contract with Nike and turn around and sign with another company?”
Karl, the man in the suit, also smiled confidently, "Yes, Henry, your worries are unnecessary. I believe that Li Kaiming is a sensible person, and those who understand current affairs are heroes."
Immediately, he clapped his hands and said, "Today's meeting ends here. I will leave the contact with Li Kaiming to..."
His eyes moved around the conference table, and finally fell on Henry, "Henry, it's you! Go talk to Li Kaiming!"
Henry pointed at himself, "Me? What if Li Kaiming doesn't agree to our contract?"
The man in the suit said without turning his head, "Then let him stay where he can to cool down!"
Nike Company is extremely overbearing!
Meanwhile, Adidas headquarters is also in Oregon, but in Portland.
Their player evaluation group also reached the same understanding as Naik.
Li Kaiming can sign, but he can only sign the lowest-level contract. If he doesn't agree, then don't sign.
The two largest sporting goods companies in the world did not leave any room for Li Kaiming to bargain. The so-called negotiation was actually more like a notice and a mercy.
Our two major companies that are above us want to sign you, a little shrimp, but you are not grateful and still want to bargain? In your dreams! If you don't want to sign, get out!
At this time, Li Kaiming was sitting at a table holding a cup of steaming coffee. Opposite him was his beautiful agent, Monica.
There was also a cup of cappuccino in front of Monica, but she did not drink it, but focused on the documents in her hand.
Neither of them spoke. In the silent space, there were only the occasional sounds of Li Kaiming drinking coffee and the rustling of Monica turning pages.
After a while, Monica turned over the last page of the document, put the document on the table, and then took a sip of coffee eagerly!
She had wanted to drink it for a long time, but with the guy opposite, she was too embarrassed to put down her business, so as soon as she read the document, she picked up the cappuccino in front of her.
The entrance is full of rich coffee aroma...
Li Kaiming smiled, put down his cup and said, "How about this? There is nothing wrong with this letter of intent in my opinion."
It turned out that what Monica was holding was the Hongxinerke letter of intent for cooperation brought over by Jiang Shan.
Monica swallowed a sip of coffee and licked her pink lips, "There is generally nothing wrong with this plan, it's just..."
Hearing Monica say there was no problem, Li Kaiming felt a lot more relaxed, but when he heard the twist in the former's mouth, his heart lifted up again!
"Just what?" he asked cautiously, while murmuring in his heart.
Jiang Shan is a nice person. She probably won’t lie to me. I even saved her...
Monica keenly noticed the tangled expression on Li Kaiming's face, smiled and said, "There is nothing wrong with the letter of intent. It's just that their company is too small."
Li Kaiming was stunned, "What do you mean?"
Monica rolled her eyes at him, "When signing an endorsement contract, naturally you have to give priority to big companies, such as Nike and Adiwang. This company in China should not be big in scale, and maybe it is not well-known in China. Enterprise, if you sign a contract with them, it will not improve your business value at all..."
