After Li Kaiming returned to Memphis, the first thing he did was go home for a visit.
The second thing is to go back to school.
This time, winning the first championship in the history of the University of Memphis, the school officials will naturally celebrate grandly!
The Tigers’ championship photo is still pinned to the top of the University of Memphis’ official Twitter account!
The University of Memphis Athletic Department held a grand celebration for the Tigers players!
Leonard, the athletic director, took photos and hugged everyone.
The old man is already old. After winning the championship this year, his biggest wish has been fulfilled. If nothing happens, he will retire this year and start to take care of himself.
Leonard and Li Kaiming shook hands for the longest time.
Looking at this energetic old man, Li Kaiming felt a little sad.
If the Memphis Tigers hadn't taken him in, there would be no celebration today.
After Leonard watched his workout, he discussed keeping him with Pastner.
It can be said that he and Memphis complement each other.
Leonard looked at the tall and handsome young man in front of him and said with a smile, "Are you interested in playing for another year? If you are here, there should be no problem in winning the championship!"
Li Kaiming smiled bitterly, "It doesn't make much sense for me to stay here anymore..."
Leonard nodded, "Yes, with your level, even if you are a star in the NBA, it is really inappropriate to stay in the college league. You brought us a championship, and we will retire your jersey soon!"
Li Kaiming's heart beat slightly faster, and he immediately thanked, "Thank you!"
It is an honor for a professional player to have his jersey retired by the team.
And he got a commitment from the school's athletic director before he even entered the NBA!
After attending the grand celebration ceremony at his alma mater, Li Kaiming rushed to a coffee shop without stopping.
Here, his beautiful agent Carol Monica has been waiting for a long time.
Along the way, as a fledgling agent, Monica has put all her energy on Li Kaiming, and today is the day when her work will bear fruit!
Sitting opposite Monica, Li Kaiming stared at the former's pretty face with a gentle smile on his lips.
Obviously Monica also valued today very much, and she specially put on light makeup and a little lipstick.
This made her look even better!
Li Kaiming took the pen from Monica's hand and when he was about to sign, he suddenly raised his head and made a joke.
"How about we wait a little longer?"
The smile on Monica's face did not disappear, a small dimple appeared on her cheek, and her eyes curved into a crescent shape.
"Sign it quickly, I know you are not this kind of person!"
Li Kaiming shrugged helplessly, and then wrote his name in several places in the document vigorously!
According to this agreement, Monica's salary will be adjusted with Li Kaiming's salary, and 11% of the market price will be deducted as Monica's remuneration.
In this way, Li Kaiming was completely bound to Monica!
After seeing Li Kaiming signing the document, Monica secretly breathed a sigh of relief!
What she feared most was that Li Kaiming would pull up his pants, disown anyone, and run away.
But the facts proved that she was not wrong!
Li Kaiming is a trustworthy person.
And she will receive her first labor remuneration in her career after the contract is finalized.
According to the old labor agreement, the annual salary of the NBA No. 1 pick is about 4 million U.S. dollars. In other words, on Li Kaiming's player salary alone, Monica can get a commission of about 400,000 U.S. dollars!
She will also completely enter the white-collar class!
After finalizing the contract with Monica, the two immediately rushed to another place.
There, a girl from distant China was also waiting for Li Kaiming's signature.
After having Monica as his agent, the signing process with Hongxinerke became very simple for Li Kaiming himself.
Of course, the price for his ease was that most of the work during the signing was done by two beautiful ladies.
So while Jiang Shan and Monica were buried in a mountain of documents, Comrade Li Kaiming was lying leisurely aside and blowing on the air conditioner.
Three people, ah no, two people worked from noon to night, and finally figured out all the rules!
And Li Kaiming also wrote his name on the document after Monica confirmed it.
According to his contract with Hongxing Erke, the first endorsement contract is for 4 years, which is exactly the same length as his rookie contract.
The total amount of the contract is 12 million dollars, which is 3 million dollars a year.
Although this amount seems to be a lot, it is not so easy to get all 12 million.
Hongxinerke also followed usual practice and extended many reward clauses in the contract.
1. The bonus for being selected to the All-Rookie Team during the rookie contract is $400,000.
2. The bonus for winning the best rookie award during the rookie contract is 600,000 US dollars.
3. The bonus for being selected to the league's best team during the rookie contract is 800,000 yuan.
In other words, apart from these incentive clauses, the guaranteed share in this seemingly large contract is only 1.2 million dollars per year.
It is only 200,000 higher than Naik.
But the most important thing is that Hongxinerke promised to provide signed boots for Li Kaiming!
In other words, after Li Kaiming entered the league, he had his own signature shoes.
The name of the shoe is also very iconic - Kaiming Generation!
The condition of producing signature shoes is almost impossible for Li Kaiming to refuse.
You know, in the NBA, it is difficult for inside players to sell shoes, so generally the vast majority of players with signature shoes are outside players. Even if there are inside players who sign signature shoe contracts, they rarely have the same impact as outside players. force.
And he, a young guy who was just starting out, had signature shoes that many seniors could only dream of having just after his debut. This kind of honor was the most important reason why he agreed to Jiang Shan.
The reason why signature shoes are called signature shoes is that in addition to the strong personal traces of the signed players on the product itself, more importantly, there are dividends.
In other words, for every signature shoe sold, Li Kaiming will get a commission from it!
Although at present, the commission of less than one percent is a little shabby compared to contracts that can easily cost millions of dollars, Li Kaiming is confident that he can make his signature shoes a hit in the near future!
The prerequisite for signature shoes to sell well is that he can perform well!
Li Kaiming, who has a system in place, naturally has no doubts about his own strength.
Besides, after experiencing the intensity of the NCAA, he is already eager for a stronger platform.
And on this platform, only the NBA, the highest basketball hall in the world, is left!
During the championship game, Li Kaiming had already met some NBA stars. He is a person who is eager to compete with the strong. It is not his style to shrink into a small place and settle in a corner.
After he chose basketball as his lifelong struggle, he knew that what he had to do on this road was to win!
…
After Li Kaiming signed the contract with Hongxinerke, the domestic Hongxinerke official website and various offline stores also immediately used various obvious logos to celebrate Hongxinerke signing its first international player!
