Hearing Monica's words, Li Kaiming was also stunned!
Yes, why do stars sign endorsement contracts? It’s because companies can use the star’s fame to increase sales, and the star can receive large endorsement fees.
So no matter how you put it, signing with a big company is a choice with no harm at all.
Thinking of this, Li Kaiming felt unspeakably sad for some reason.
If you listen to Monica and sign Naike or Adi Wang, you will make several times more money than signing Hongxin Erke!
But when he thought of Jiang Shan, he felt a trace of reluctance in his heart.
Seeing Li Kaiming's frown, Monica asked doubtfully, "What's wrong? Li, is there any problem?"
Li Kaiming shook his head and tried hard to stop thinking about the girl in his mind. "It's okay. Just do as you say. When will we go talk to Naik and the others?"
As a decisive man, he naturally knows that when it comes to major choices in life, only considering the love between his children will only make him fall even worse!
What's more, he has nothing to do with Jiang Shan now.
Monica smiled and said, "That's good. You underestimated Nike and the others too much. Their scouting and business sense are top-notch. They noticed you when you first emerged. No surprise. Yes, they will be looking for you in the next few days!"
Li Kaiming nodded and was about to speak when suddenly the cell phone in his pocket rang!
Didi didi!
Li Kaiming smiled at Monica, "Sorry," and then answered the phone, "Hello?"
"Kaiming, you said your agent came to see you today. Did you show her our letter of intent? How about it? Did I do a particularly good job? Praise me!"
Jiang Shan's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.
Li Kaiming's breath was stagnant and he didn't know how to answer. After a few seconds of silence, he forced a smile and said, "Haha, Shanshan, Monica said that your letter of intent was very well done..."
In the hotel, Jiang Shan listened to Li Kaiming's voice on the phone, with a happy smile on her lips.
"Yeah, let me tell you. My dad always criticizes me for being impatient. You see, all the professional managers say I'm doing a good job."
"Shanshan!" Li Kaiming suddenly interrupted her, "But, she said I can't sign a contract with you!"
…
The moment he said these words, Li Kaiming felt as if something heavy was pressing on his chest, making him unable to breathe.
He took a deep breath with all his strength, his heart and breath were beating rapidly, showing that he was not calm.
He has never been so nervous. The last time he was so nervous was when he defeated Houston in the C-USA League playoffs.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
More than ten seconds passed, and Jiang Shan on the other end of the phone said nothing. Li Kaiming thought the phone had been hung up, but when he looked at it, he realized that the call was still on.
"Oh, that's it. I understand you. It's okay. Cooperation is a two-way street! I support you no matter which company you choose!" Jiang Shan finally spoke, her tone was as lively as ever, as if the silence just now did not exist. .
After hearing Jiang Shan's words, Li Kaiming not only did not become relaxed, but instead felt a wave of indescribable sadness and depression in his heart.
Why does she act like nothing happened? Is this what she really thinks?
But he couldn't ask these two questions.
So he could only give a gentle "hmm".
Jiang Shan's tone still did not change, and she continued, "In that case, I won't bother you anymore. I hope you can sign a super big contract with King Naik Adi. Tomorrow's star Li Kaiming, I congratulate you in advance! Okay. Goodbye, I'm going back tomorrow."
Li Kaiming's breath tightened and he quickly asked, "Where are you going back to?"
Jiang Shan smiled and said, "Why are you acting like a fool today? Of course you are going back to China! Who told you, a big star, not to sign a contract with me? Come on, compete."
At this moment, Li Kaiming had thousands of words he wanted to say to save him, but these words were all stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter a single word.
So he could only reply, "Bon voyage."
Jiang Shan hummed and then hung up the phone.
Listening to the beeping sound coming from the speaker of the mobile phone, Li Kaiming seemed not to notice that the call had been hung up. He put the mobile phone to his ear and remained motionless, as if it had turned into a sculpture.
Monica, who was across the table, saw that Li Kaiming hadn't moved or spoken for a long time, so she asked tentatively, "Li? Are you okay?"
Li Kaiming came back to his senses, with a wry smile on his face, shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
Monica nodded. Although she could tell at a glance that the guy in front of her was duplicitous and didn't seem to be okay, but as a professional manager, it was her work principle not to interfere in the players' personal lives, so she didn't. Ask too much.
She changed the subject and said, "Li, Naik has contacted me and will discuss the contract in the afternoon."
Li Kaiming nodded and said, "Okay, let's see you in the afternoon!"
——
On the other side, Jiang Shan, who hung up the phone, collapsed on the bed as if all the bones in her body were being pulled away.
She hugged the pillow next to her and stared blankly at the ceiling of the room with her big bright eyes, without blinking.
"Why is this pillow so cold? In comparison, Kaiming was really hot that night..." She muttered in a low voice, and then subconsciously pulled the quilt with her hands to cover most of her delicate body.
"Why don't you sign if you don't want to sign? Can't you even try to persuade me to stay? Li Kaiming, you are such a big loser!"
As she spoke, two drops of clear tears fell from the corners of her eyes, across her delicate and fair skin, and finally fell on the bed and seeped into her body.
"If you try to keep me here, I won't leave..."
Jiang Shan wiped the tears on her face with her hands, then picked up her phone and called the airline company.
"Hey, is this Chou Dong Airlines? Please book me a flight ticket from St. Louis back to China. When is the fastest time?"
…
In the afternoon, Li Kaiming, led by beautiful agent Monica, came to a high-end cafe.
The two walked into a separate compartment and were immediately greeted by a blond man with a smile on his face and a very polite person.
"Hello Li Kaiming, I am Henry, the person in charge of Nike's contract signing!"
Li Kaiming stretched out his hand, shook it with Henry for a few times.
Feeling the sense of power coming from Henry's hand, Li Kaiming had a surprised expression on his face, "Is Mr. Henry also a professional athlete?"
Henry laughed, "Haha, you guessed it right. After playing professional basketball for a few years, I later found that I am still suitable for business! Sports are still for talented young people like you!"
Li Kaiming also laughed. He was afraid that the person coming was an ignorant person. It would be easier if he was a professional athlete!
The three of them immediately sat down and started talking.
…
"What? You can only give me the lowest endorsement contract?" Li Kaiming frowned and asked in a louder voice.
An embarrassed expression appeared on Henry's face, "I'm sorry, Li, this is the most sincere plan we can come up with after discussion."
Li Kaiming chuckled, "In that case, we have nothing to talk about," and then stood up to leave.
Monica next to her was about to stop her, but suddenly Henry stood up and stopped Li Kaiming, "Li, wait for me for a while, and I'll ask the boss again."
After that, he walked out quickly and dialed the phone in a corner.
