"This is not a problem, we will pay you liquidated damages..."
When Li Kaiming heard the response from Karl, the man in the suit, to be honest, he was stunned for a moment. After all, the contract was just an excuse he casually said to refuse the other party. He didn't expect that Karl would follow it if he was given a pole. Climbing up, he actually said that Naike would bear the liquidated damages.
So he changed his previous indifferent attitude, changed into a comfortable position on the sofa, and then showed an interested look on his face.
"Mr. Karl, it seems that you are well prepared for coming here this time!"
Seeing the change in Li Kaiming's attitude, Karl quickly exchanged glances with the fiery girl Gina next to him, and then the former said with a smile, "Of course, Li, our company thinks you are already a great player, and we are willing to do it for you." You’re signed to pay any price!”
Gina next to her also smiled and nodded, but deep in her eyes, a trace of disdain flashed inadvertently!
snort! Before, he pretended to be so noble and said he cared more about his own dignity. Now it seems that it’s not because the money we gave him is not enough. As long as the knife skills are in place, dignity and other things are all in vain!
Sure enough, no man can be trusted!
Gina couldn't help but complain about all the men in her heart. She didn't even realize that if all men were upright and upright, how could she have climbed to where she is today...
Monica, who was sitting next to Li Kaiming, was a little surprised by Li Kaiming's change of attitude. She stared at Li Kaiming's side face several times.
"Hahaha! So, Mr. Carl, are you here with sincerity today?" Li Kaiming laughed a few times, and then asked in a calm tone.
Carl was very excited when he heard that Li Kaiming took the initiative to bring the topic to the signing negotiation.
Sure enough, Nike's appeal is so terrifying that even a superstar like Li Kaiming cannot escape the temptation of Nike's signature sneakers.
Looking at it now, the plan No. 2 prepared before can basically be abandoned. If nothing happens, the person in front of him will become a new hen that lays golden eggs for Nike Company starting next season.
Karl suppressed the excitement in his heart, took a deep breath and said, "Li, your current achievements are among the best even in the league, and you are only 21 years old and have a bright future. Of course we invite you with sincerity. You become the spokesperson of our company."
After a pause, Carl looked up at Li Kaiming's expression and found that the latter was lowering his head and clasping the corner of the table with his index finger, so he continued, "About your signing, the company's board of directors also discussed it. After final agreement, we proposed There are two options, the first option is a limited-year endorsement contract, which will last for five years starting from this year, with a total of 150 million yuan."
After talking about the first plan, Karl was not in a hurry to talk about the second one, but took a look at Li Kaiming's reaction first.
He originally thought that when he said the number 150 million, Li Kaiming would have some special reaction. Unexpectedly, the latter just clasped his hand on the corner of the table and paused for a second, and then returned to normal.
On the other hand, Monica, who was sitting next to Li Kaiming, her eyes widened and her body tensed up after hearing Karl say 150 million in five years!
The average annual salary of this endorsement contract is 30 million yuan, which is higher than the league's maximum salary. This year, the highest salary in the league is Kobe Bryant, with an annual salary of just over 24 million yuan. In other words, if Li Kaiming accepts this contract, he can do whatever he wants. You can get the highest income in the league!
Moreover, the contract is only for 5 years, which means that after the contract ends, Li Kaiming will have the opportunity to sign a larger contract with Naik, and he will have sufficient freedom.
Monica couldn't wait to agree to it for Li Kaiming on the spot. If the contract was obtained, Monica would also get a large sum of money!
Seeing Li Kaiming's lack of reaction, Carl admired in his heart, and then continued, "The next step is the second plan. This plan is a lifetime contract. Our company will provide you with 500 million yuan to become Nike." Lifelong spokesperson!
By the way, I forgot to mention one thing. No matter which plan you choose, Nike will specially design a series of signature shoes for you. The specific dividend details will be discussed later, but we guarantee that your signature shoes will be the same as LeBron’s. , Kd, it has become one of our representative products of Nike..."
Karl's voice gradually fell, and the entire private room fell into silence. Li Kaiming stopped clasping the corner of the table.
Seeing that his plan successfully aroused Li Kaiming's interest, Carl also showed a confident smile on his face!
This is the strength of America's top 2 sports company. Even if the other party has signed with other companies, they still have enough strength to rudely poach him with jaw-dropping money!
This is the so-called one force to reduce ten societies, but this force is the power of financial resources!
Gina, who was sitting next to Karl, also puffed up her chest proudly, which made her pair of firm breasts even more proud!
Gina was naturally very proud. She believed that when Carl said the figure of 500 million dollars, no one on this planet could refuse to become the spokesperson of their company!
Because when she first heard about this amount, she was shocked!
This is a total of 500 million dollars! With this money, you can basically enter America's upper class society directly!
Monica, who was sitting next to Li Kaiming, started to tremble. Seeing that Li Kaiming didn't speak, she even leaned over and gently shook Li Kaiming's arm.
Li Kaiming turned to look at Monica, and saw that the latter's eyes had completely changed into the shape of Daole, biting her lower lip, and nodded gently to Li Kaiming...
Li Kaiming saw the confidence and arrogance on the other side, the agent's pleas...all these things were seen by Li Kaiming.
Do you all think I will agree? Ah!
A weird smile appeared on Li Kaiming's face, "Karl, thank you for thinking so highly of me. If you had shown such sincerity at the beginning of the negotiation, perhaps this scene wouldn't have happened today!"
Hearing Li Kaiming's almost verbal rejection, an incredulous expression appeared on Carl's face, "Wait a minute, Li, don't you think about it again? If you are still dissatisfied with this contract, we can discuss it again..."
Li Kaiming shook his head firmly, "No, I am very satisfied with your contract, but I will not cooperate with you! You looked down on me when I was not strong enough. From that moment on, Nike was no longer me in my heart. friends, I never discuss cooperation with my opponents..."
After the red-haired woman Gina heard Li Kaiming's rejection, her face showed surprise at first, and then a flash of joy flashed on her face. She immediately screamed, "What a Li Kaiming, you don't even cooperate with us, why are you still here?" Attend the meeting? Are you humiliating us?"
"Bingo! You guessed it right!" Li Kaiming showed a smile that had never appeared since he entered the door, but this smile made Carl and Gina opposite him suddenly turn pale!
"Haha, Li, there are many friends and many paths. Even if you don't want to talk about cooperation, there is no need to make the relationship so stiff..." Karl's mood was obviously not as peaceful as his words indicated.
Li Kaiming clicked his tongue twice, "The company I represent accepted me when I was most questioned, and gave me signature shoes that you didn't want to sell. I am very grateful to it. They and I are not only partners, but also We are still friends. I will never betray a friend!"
"Besides, you said it so nicely, haven't you Naik been behind my back in the past two seasons? Only you yourself know whether some things have been done or not."
Li Kaiming said the last words in Karl's ear. After saying that, he stood up and left directly, leaving only Karl and three people staring at each other.
Monica reacted, apologized quickly to Karl, then turned around and chased him out...
"Hmph! This Li Kaiming is really ignorant! Let me just say it! This guy is destined to become our enemy..." Gina complained a few words beside Karl, then took the initiative to lean over and pinch him with her majestic mind. He held Karl's arm and rubbed it while talking, seeming to be caressing and comforting the latter.
Karl looked at the door, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "The old guys in the management said they wanted me to discuss cooperation. I can't just leave it alone, ha! Now let's see what else those old guys have. That’s easy to say.”
"Li Kaiming, maybe we should let those old men hammer away..."
————————————————
"Li! Wait for me!" Monica was out of breath while running in high heels, but she was still very far away from the figure in front of her. After all, Li Kaiming was tall and had long legs, and he could take two steps ahead of her.
After chasing for a few steps and realizing that she couldn't catch up, Monica shouted, "Li Kaiming! Stop!"
Li Kaiming stopped, turned around, and watched Monica walk in front of him.
At this time, Monica's eyes were already red.
"Why did you reject them? Why? What's so good about Hongxinerke? Is it worth doing that for them? That's a whole 500 million yuan! Li, do you know what 500 million is? You take 500 million You can go to China and buy a quarter of the shares of Hongxinerke! I don’t understand..."
Looking at the agent who lowered his head and sobbed in front of him, Li Kaiming sighed softly.
"Carol, you are a very responsible agent, but you have not seen clearly what I want from the beginning to the end. In my opinion, respect is more important than the 500 million dollars. Besides, why do you think that I If you sign a contract with Hongxinerke, you won’t be able to earn 500 million yuan?”
"Carol, I have gone from being an NCAA water cooler to now. I have witnessed too much contempt and ridicule along the way. Finally, I have reached a point where I can decide honestly whether I want dignity or money. I I don’t want to give up my dignity for money anymore, this time I want to follow my heart and forgive my willfulness.”
Monica wiped away her tears, "Then do you know how much influence Nike has in the NBA? They can even influence the championship!"
Li Kaiming looked up at the sky, "Of course I know that most of the players are owned by Nike, and Nike is also the official partner of the league. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have everything in the league."
"I know you still refuse?"
"Haha, Carol, I know you will say that I am naive, but I still want to say that God has given me these talents. If I am still subject to capital and power like those ordinary people, then I have nothing to do with them. What's the difference? A true king never needs to look at other people's faces. No one can take away what belongs to him..."
At this time, night had fallen, and Monica raised her neck to look at Li Kaiming. Under the glistening moonlight, Li Kaiming's angular face combined with his plain and domineering lines made Monica unable to help but be fascinated by it...
