NBA: Start with a three-point experience card

Chapter 427 Nike is in a hurry
February 12 at 23pm.

Both Rowling and Nicole are in Sacramento.

According to the agreed time, the private jet contacted by Good Nicole will take off at 5:30 pm.

At this time, at Nike headquarters in New York.

A blond woman who looks about 40 years old is reviewing a stack of documents in the office.

This woman is not particularly beautiful, but she looks very capable.

In the 6-story building of the headquarters, there are usually open offices, but his office is independent.

She is Ann Herbert, general manager and vice president of Nike North America.

At this moment, she was immersed in reviewing a contract.

The brow sometimes furrows and sometimes stretches.

This contract is Wang Yi's contract drafted by Nike's legal department.

The superior had issued an order before, no matter what, Wang Yi must be signed.

Ann Herbert flipped through these contracts, and generally muttered to herself: "Does this king really have that much potential? Is that why the superiors are so optimistic about him?"

Based on his past experience, isn't it too much investment?
But these are not things she should worry about.

Regarding whether a certain player has great potential and whether the market value is great, there are special departments to evaluate these.

All she has to do is to decide whether to sign this player based on the evaluation reports of these departments.

But this time it was different.

This time, before their evaluation report came out, the superior had already called to say that Wang Yi must be signed, so she urged the legal department to draft the contract overnight from last night.

In the end it was up to her to approve.

However, just as she was approving, the doorbell of the office was rang.

"Enter."

Ann Herbert continued to look at the contract without looking up.

A male assistant walked in with an uneasy expression on his face.

"Vice President, we just got the news that Wang Yi will fly back to Huaxia in an hour and a half."

Ann Herbert, who was concentrating on reviewing the manuscript, couldn't help but pause when she heard this.

Then he raised his head and looked at the assistant: "Going to sign the contract?"

The male assistant shook his head slightly: "We haven't got the exact information yet, but according to my guess, it's probably to sign the contract, because they have been in frequent contact with a brand called Anta in Huaxia in the past two days."

Ann Herbert frowned tightly upon hearing this.

After a while, she reviewed the remaining two pages of the manuscript as quickly as possible.

During this period, the assistant stood quietly, not even daring to breathe, as if he was afraid that his breathing would disturb the vice president.

A moment later, Vice President Ann Herbert looked away from the manuscript again and looked up sharply at the assistant.

"Contact him, now!"

The assistant nodded and was about to take out his mobile phone to contact Rowling.

But then Ann Herbert added: "Contact him."

The assistant froze for a moment.

Ann Herbert frowned: "Why, didn't you even get his phone number?"

The assistant shook his head.

Of course he has Wang Yi's phone number.

It's just that this kind of thing is usually contacted by the star's agent, and it is rare to directly contact the star himself.

He dialed Wang Yi's number and handed the phone to the vice president.

Vice President Ann Herbert and others got on the phone and got straight to the point:
"Wang, I'm Ann Herbert, Vice President of Nike's North American Headquarters. We have drafted your endorsement contract, and we will send it to your agent as soon as possible. Wang, please take a look."

Wang Yi sneered when he heard the vice president's words: "No need."

After speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

Ann Herbert was taken aback.

Generally speaking, the stars she personally handles are basically big-name players.

James, Kobe, Jordan.

Because of the special status of Nike, generally speaking, even these superstars, no one would hang up their calls casually.

Even in the face of Jordan, the god of basketball, Nike's status and attitude are very low.

Jordan never hung up on them roughly, either.

For other players, Nike is aloof.No matter which player receives the call from Nike, they are all excited and delighted.

After all, being able to sign a contract with Nike is of great benefit to their own popularity, exposure and their immediate interests.

Therefore, when the players get along with Nike, their posture is very low.

Now, Wang Yi is so lucky that he actually hung up on Nike directly.

But Ann Herbert was a talent, too.

A woman can climb to this position, she is also able to ordinary people can not.

She called Wang Yi again.

When Wang Yi connected, she said, "Wang, I want to have an interview with you, now."

"No need."

After speaking, Wang Yi hung up the phone again.

Ann Herbert is indeed resilient. She called Wang Yi for the third time.

This time, he said straight away: "Wang, our revised contract is 10 million US dollars in 2.5 years, and we will issue signature sneakers for you. And we promise to give you 2% of the sales."

This condition can be said to be very generous.

The reason why James can get 5% of the sales is because James has been playing for 20 years since his debut.

Debut is the pinnacle, a peak of 20 years.

His influence and market value are unimaginable to ordinary people.

Wang Yi has only been able to get 2% of sales in less than two years, which is already very good.

You know, even stars like Irving and Durant only get 2%.

Nike's 2021 sales are $400 billion.

Even at 2%, that's about $8 million.

Converted into RMB, there are nearly 52 billion.

In other words, even if Wang Yi is injured for a year and does not play, he can get 52 billion yuan from Nike alone.

This is definitely something that ordinary players dare not even think about.

After Ann Herbert quickly reported this string of conditions, she fell silent.

Her expression is confident.

Pick up a cigarette from the cigarette box on the desk.

The assistant next to her saw it and hurried over to order it for her.

Ann Herbert took a puff and exhaled a puff of smoke.

No matter how good Huaxia's small brand is, it is far behind Nike in terms of market share.

If Wang Yi signed a contract with that small Chinese brand, he would not lose a single star.

Calculated according to the Chinese currency, it is estimated that he will lose more than 40 billion a year.

No one will struggle with interests.

Therefore, Ann Herbert is sure about Wang Yi.

However, at this moment, Wang Yi's voice without the slightest hesitation came from the other end of the phone.

"No need."

After finishing speaking, the busy tone of beep-beep-beep came again from the phone.

This time, Ann Herbert didn't react for a while.

After a long pause, he looked at the black screen of the phone in disbelief.

The assistant next to him was also dumbfounded.

After half a minute, Ann Herbert said in disbelief:

"Is he crazy? 40 billion! He will lose 40 billion a year!"

The assistant next to him also felt his head buzzing constantly.

Are there really people who can't live with money in this world?
