In the 2020 offseason, Peyton Manning became the biggest free agent in the entire market. Although he had just returned from injury and there were countless uncertainties, he still deservedly became the focus of every team's attention. , whether they need a quarterback or not, thirty-two teams have their sights set on it.
In the 203 offseason, Lu Ke took over such a baton. Of course, this does not mean that Lu Ke will enter the free market. Everyone is still waiting for news about San Francisco's contract extension. But just because there has been no news, many teams are beginning to get ready to make a move and tentatively inquire about Lech. tone of voice.
Missing Lu Ke in the draft that year, no team would make such a mistake now.
The Philadelphia Eagles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New York Jets and Buffalo Bills, these four teams have clearly expressed their willingness to welcome Lu Ke to join; and there are countless other teams that are waiting and watching.
Then there are the Dallas Cowboys.
However, it has only been an embarrassing month since winning the Super Bowl. The celebration of winning the Super Bowl is not yet completely over. The San Francisco 49ers have not officially announced that Lu Ke will become a free agent. Now all inquiries and evaluations are still in the trial stage. Everyone is still in the trial stage. We are waiting for the progress of Lu Ke's contract renewal with San Francisco.
Therefore, Laihe did not tell Lu Ke about these detailed matters for the time being - those so-called invitations and quotations were not even mentioned in the eight characters, so why should Lu Ke bother?
However, Jerry Jones chose to attack at this time. I wonder if there is any inside information, and Leh has not found out yet. But since Jerry took the initiative to extend an olive branch, Leh will surely know about it soon.
After thinking about it, Lech added, "Besides Dallas, there are several other teams that have asked about joining. Are you interested?"
"Do I need to know?" Lu Ke asked back, grandly and calmly, showing his broad mind and long-term perspective.
Laihe didn't make a sound, just laughed.
But this is the best answer. Lu Ke then said, "Then I'm not interested."
Laihe gently nodded his head in agreement, "I can't refute it." After clicking the button, Laihe stopped talking, "I heard that last night's live broadcast was very successful, and today the entire social network is When discussing your performance, even Lorne Michaels was full of praise. How about it, are you interested in participating in more variety show recordings in the future? I think you have great potential, and Hollywood should welcome the emergence of new blood. "
"Ha. Are you kidding me? This is not the purpose of our signing. If you are looking forward to more things outside the stadium, then I am afraid you will be disappointed." Lu Ke laughed happily, "I I feel that I am more suitable to stay on the court. The tactical manual and training plan have already occupied my entire life, and I am afraid there is no other space."
"Are you sure?" Lech raised his voice, with a little ridicule and joking in his voice, seeming to be a little gloating, "There is still an email from Taylor Swift (taylr-sift)'s agent lying in my mailbox. Well, aren’t you curious at all?”
"Who?" Lu Ke responded with his iconic answer again.
Laihe seemed to find Lu Ke's reaction very interesting, and actually took the initiative to explain, "She hopes that you can star in the music video of her latest single. The male lead!" Laihe also paused for a moment and said in the "male lead" The sound was emphasized in every position, and in my mind I began to imagine Lu Ke appearing in a music video to perform, and my smile couldn't help but rise.
"Ha! Ha! Very funny." Although he said this, Lu Ke's voice was not smiling at all, and his cold tone showed his complaints, "Did they have some misunderstanding about me? Could it be that I was wearing sportswear?" Isn’t it obvious enough how the jersey looks on different occasions?”
"Perhaps, she saw something that we didn't see." Laihe obviously meant something in his words, and his long and drawn-out tone was meaningful, hinting at something.
Lu Ke decided to pretend that he didn't understand at all and responded in an exaggerated tone, "Really?"
Lech accepted it and stopped joking, "I understand. I will reply to refuse. You'd better enjoy your vacation before officially entering offseason training. We will contact you if there is any situation in the future. .”
The entire call did not last too long, only about five minutes from beginning to end. This still continues Lech's consistent style of acting, which is crisp and resolute.
After the Super Bowl ended, Lech has undoubtedly become one of the busiest agents in the entire league. In addition to the contract renewal in San Francisco, invitations from major advertising sponsors also poured in like pieces of paper, leaving not much time to rest and breathe.
Now, before this, Rolex and Mercedes-Benz have become the best reference objects, and now after winning the Super Bowl, Lu Ke has become the number one choice for major companies looking for endorsement objects, with commercial value and The market potential has surpassed Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, becoming the top player in the entire league.
The most high-profile one is undoubtedly Lu Ke’s sneaker sponsorship dispute. The competition between Nike and Under Armor has surfaced. Both parties have officially begun negotiations with Lech. The former hopes to sign Lu Ke, and Nike is willing to pay liquidated damages; The latter hopes to renew Lu Ke's contract in advance and re-sign the endorsement contract.
Subsequently, Adidas also announced that it had officially joined the competitive camp, and then formed a three-legged trend.
Under Armor undoubtedly has the advantage of Bole, and the cooperation over the past year and a half has been very pleasant.
In mid-January, Lu Ke's personal sneaker series "Lu Series" was officially launched. Although Lu Ke did not attend the press conference in order to prepare for the playoffs, but joined the press conference by recording a video, but related The topic still set off social networks. The simple and elegant, clean and streamlined design has made the "Land Series" successfully become the new favorite in the market.
In the past month and a half, the "Continental Series" has always occupied the top sales list in the sneaker market, and the popularity of winning the Super Bowl still shows no sign of cooling down.
This also gives Under Armour’s cooperation with Lu Ke more leverage.
Nike's advantages are brand and price, and of course, sincerity.
More than half a year in advance, Vance Jacobs became a good friend of Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning. Although during the cooperation negotiation process, Vance kept his promise and did not use his influence to interfere with the choices of Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning; It is undeniable that Vance's understanding of the Lu family played an important role.
The quotation is only one aspect. Lu Ke personally is a person who values friendship and family affection more. So, Nike is trying to sign Marcus and Logan.
Adidas was the last one to join the battlefield. On the surface, it seems to be at a disadvantage, but their biggest advantage lies in the design of sneakers. This has been the case since the previous clover retro design, and now is no exception.
They designed a grand blueprint for Lu Ke's entire sneaker series and related product lines, and expected Lu Ke to become the most special rugby player in history, integrating it with elements such as fashion, sports, and fitness to build a personal Huge market for brands.
From a purely creative perspective, Adidas undoubtedly impressed Lech.
However, the three brands have their own advantages and disadvantages in terms of quotations, plans, frameworks, etc. The overall situation is not clear yet, and Lech still has a lot of work to complete.
In addition to sneakers, there are countless sponsorship offers from other brands.
It is no exaggeration to say that everything is developing rapidly according to Leh's planned track, and reaching the Super Bowl has become the last piece of the whole puzzle, which also allows Leh to flex his muscles and make full use of this offseason. The opportunity to build Lu Ke into a golden signature for the entire alliance.
Therefore, Leh now still has very heavy and complicated work to complete. Lu Ke can take a short vacation, but he cannot.
However, this is the trouble of happiness. Laihe feels the vitality of youth again and is gearing up every day. For Lu Ke, the stadium and training ground are his world; while for Leh, the business battlefield is his world.
…
Lu Ke only stayed in New York for two more days.
Because of the Super Bowl and "Saturday Night Live", Lu Ke's recognition is now booming. He can be recognized almost anywhere he steps. This has seriously affected his daily life. Not to mention exploring the entire city on your own feet, even daily travel has become extremely difficult.
In desperation, Lu Ke could only leave New York early and return to San Francisco, hoping to relax for a few days before offseason training officially began.
The long championship celebration promotion is finally over.
In fact, for other players, there are not many public celebrations. The championship parade and White House invitation are the two most important stops. After that, they can enter the relaxing vacation mode of the offseason.
But for Lu Ke, this is the best time to build his personal brand image. Under Leh's arrangements, from charity activities to community interactions, from TV programs to visiting universities, all kinds of public relations activities are filled up in the schedule. , truly pushing his public image to a peak——
Just look at the reaction in New York. From picking up at the airport to leaving the city, Lu Ke can feel the enthusiasm of the masses at all times.
But now I can finally take a breather.
After returning to San Francisco, Lu Ke went back to his parents' house for three days to relax, spend time with Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning, and enjoy a moment of leisure.
The same is true today.
Lu Ke accompanied Lu Zhengze to tidy up the entire backyard. He threw away all the old furniture and weeded Jiang Youning's garden. After working hard all afternoon, Lu Ke quickly took care of himself and faced the direction of the house. He raised his voice and shouted, "Dad, Mom, I'm going out! Mom, I'm leaving the Chevrolet."
