Chapter 82 Exclusive Sneakers Contract

Back to Memphis, the team disbanded on the spot, they will have a full day of vacation to relieve their tired nerves, and the team will gather on the 14th to prepare for the game against the Timberwolves at home on the 16th.

Ji Feng, who had slept in the dark in the apartment, received a call from James, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, in the early morning.

"Ji Feng, good news!" James' excited voice came from the phone.

"James, you are really hardworking. Maybe I should deduct your salary as a reward."

Ji Feng looked at the time. At 6:30 in the morning, Ji Feng had been on the plane for 12 hours and only went to bed at 3:00 in the morning. As a result, he was woken up by James three hours later, so Ji Feng was now full of resentment.

"Oh no! Ji Feng, you should give me a bonus, come down quickly, I'm at your door, we need to talk about endorsements." James did not disturb Ji Feng's sleep consciousness at all.

"Well? I'll go down immediately!" Ji Feng was sober when he heard the endorsement, and he was no longer sleepy. Although he was not short of money, it felt different to earn the endorsement by himself.

Ji Feng flew downstairs and headed to Ji Feng's private studio with James.

Since James switched from scout to Ji Feng's agent, he seems to have opened the door to a new world. Now he has found a new goal, which is to make Ji Feng a world-renowned star, just like Kobe and James. world superstar!

In the past few months, Ji Feng has been training and he has not been idle. Ji Feng's personal studio has been established, just in the urban area of ​​Memphis.

"Well done James, I think I really need a salary increase." Ji Feng was amazed at this studio that has grown into a large scale in a short period of time.

"Of course Ji Feng, for our goals, isn't it." James said with a smile, he also holds a 10% stake in Ji Feng company.

"What is this." Ji Feng looked at the documents on the table.

"Of course it's an endorsement contract. I have to say, Ji Feng, you did a great job in Spain. These all appeared here overnight." James said: "You know, players are walking billboards, their sneakers. , equipment, clothes, etc., everything that everyone can see, there will be special sponsors, they will provide equipment, but also pay wages, players will help them promote, it's that simple."

"Of course, am I just so famous?" Ji Feng said, looking at the dazzling array of things on the table.

At a glance, Ji Feng saw a lot of well-known brands.

"I have to say, Ji Feng, you lack awareness of your own reputation. As an Asian, you broke into the NBA at the age of 18, which has greatly increased your popularity. In China, you are simply an idol of the youth across the country. In Asia You're also in the news a lot, and in America, people are curious about an Asian high school player, and you're so handsome, I honestly envy you." James said with a smile: " And you played a good game in Spain, which boosted your business rating a lot, and you're only 18 years old, so it's no surprise that the endorsement came."

"Well, what kind of manufacturers are there?" Ji Feng asked with interest.

"First of all, of course, the shoe contract, you look at these." James took out a stack from the table and handed it to the wind: "Nike, Adi, they like a rookie like you very much, but I suggest you reject their contract. "

"Why?" Ji Feng looked at Adi's contract, $5 million for 5 years, and it felt okay.

"This is simply an insult to you. These big companies always want to use the least amount of money to do this kind of business. Five years, I'm afraid you won't know how popular you are by then. We signed it and didn't throw money away in vain. Well, it looks good now, but then it will be uncomfortable." James threw the two contracts aside: "Durant signed Nike for 60 million, do you still have to consider it?"

"FXCK!" Ji Feng threw the contract directly: "Nice job!"

How dare he look down on himself, Ji Feng decided that he must try the strength of this 60 million buddy when he meets Durant!

"There are still a few left, such as Reebok and Puma. They are more expensive and don't last long. Most of them are 2 million a year, or 5 million in three years, but they are not mainstream, you should consider it." Zhan Moss took out several contracts again: "Many star players will sign such contracts."

"However, I suggest that you can sign this contract." James took out the last contract from behind.

"Under Armour..." Ji Feng muttered to himself, while his brain was running fast, searching for the company's situation, and then, the search failed.

"Aren't you kidding me, is there this company?" Ji Feng raised his head and looked at James suspiciously and said.

No wonder Ji Feng was ignorant. In 2007, UA was not well known in the world.

"Of course not." James began his popular science: "Although UA is not yet well-known, they have developed very well in the past 11 years, and they are full of technological strength, focusing on professional and high-end. I have specially learned about them. Companies, I think the future sports market will definitely have their position. They want to expand their influence around the world, the NBA is an important part, but you also know that the NBA is now the world of Nike and Adidas. And then there's Reebok, AJ, and so on, it's hard for them to get involved."

"So they found me?" Ji Feng pointed at himself in surprise, this company is not too timid, and they are not afraid to smash their hands as a rookie, although Ji Feng knows that it is absolutely impossible.

"That's right!" James said excitedly: "They tried to reach out to Oden, Durant, but they all refused, and then until yesterday, when they saw your performance, their boss personally called me. , invite you to be their spokesperson!"

"MD is still a spare tire!" Ji Feng was very upset, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he was already famous all over the United States, and he was just a fledgling, but Ji Feng was still very upset, and anyone who was a spare tire would feel uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, they are still very sincere, 6 million US dollars in two years, and winning any awards will increase the reward, we can discuss this with them in detail, and! The most important thing is, they will make signed sneakers for you!" James said excitedly.

"It's not bad." Ji Feng is also very excited. Exclusive sneakers are the dream of every player, a symbol of status, and a kind of recognition. Ji Feng is not short of money and can buy any sneakers, but this kind of honor , you can't buy it, it's a treat only for superstars.

Ji Feng thought that one day he would have his own sneakers, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly!
