king of defenders

Chapter 443
Meng Yun's apartment.

There were three cups of tea on the coffee table, which were brought by Meng Yun when he returned to China. They were not the kind of rare things that cost tens of thousands of dollars, but they were quite to Meng Yun's taste.

Meng Yun, Bill Duffy, and Zhao Hao sat on the sofa.

He came to the United States in August, and now in October, after two months of study, Zhao Hao is not yet a qualified assistant, but his performance has been recognized by Bill Duffy, and now he has begun to lead the way properly. Zhao Hao, let Zhao Hao have some practical experience while learning knowledge.

In Meng Yun's opinion, a personal assistant should not need to learn a lot, but this is absolutely wrong. As a personal assistant of an NBA player, there are many things to learn, and not just one person can be competent.

Fortunately, Zhao Hao has a good adaptability, and his English is very good, so there are no communication or learning obstacles. After two months, he has a little appearance.

Today Bill Duffy came to talk about two commercial endorsements with Meng Yun, and Zhao Hao was also present.

"Meng, this is an endorsement contract." Bill Duffy took out two contracts and said, "Zhao and I have already read them, and there is nothing wrong with them, but you'd better look at them yourself."

Meng Yun looked at Zhao Hao, and Zhao Hao nodded, indicating that he had indeed seen it, and there was no big problem.

Meng Yun picked up the contract to browse.

The two contracts are one from the car brand Land Rover and the other from the beverage brand Gatorade.

Land Rover originated from the United Kingdom. It has always been a special car for the British royal family. It is one of the luxury car brands. Their models are not many, but they are all expensive. They emphasize off-road performance and have a strong masculine style. They are very popular with some people. people love.

Meng Yun is no stranger to Land Rover. He used to listen to Liu Hu bluffing all the time in China. Liu Hu is a car fan. Of course, it's all theoretical knowledge learned online, and that guy doesn't even have a driver's license, let alone one.

He has heard a lot, and Meng Yun also knows a little bit. For example, the price of Land Rover is very high. In China, a car can easily cost hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

However, although Land Rover is high-end, it does not seem to be so popular in China. At least people seem to like BMW and Mercedes-Benz more than BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

"Is it because Land Rover invited me to be an endorser this time because they want to seize the sales in the Chinese market?" Meng Yun thought to himself, looking at Land Rover's endorsement contract.

There is nothing wrong with this contract, after all Bill Duffy and Zhao Hao have read it first.

To put it simply, this is a 3-year endorsement contract with a total value of 1200 million US dollars, an average of 400 million US dollars per year, which is a relatively reasonable insurance price.

When Meng Yun signed with Under Armour, it was 3 million U.S. dollars for three years, but different brands and different endorsement fees are definitely different. Under Armor is a sports brand, and the rate of return for signing Meng Yun is theoretically the highest. As Land Rover is a car brand, there is no way to compare with Under Armor in this regard, because it is impossible for Meng Yun's fans to buy Land Rover, even if fans want to, they may not be able to afford it.

However, Land Rover is a luxury car brand after all, and the money earned by buying a car and selling a pair of sneakers by Under Armor is definitely different.

So 3 million US dollars for 1200 years is more appropriate.

You know, when Jeremy Lin signed with Volvo, the average annual endorsement fee was only 200 million US dollars, which was half less than that of Meng Yun.

Of course, Meng Yun is different from Jeremy Lin. Jeremy Lin is a "phenomenon". No one knows whether he can continue, or how long he can last, so Volvo only signed him for two years because of this consideration.But Meng Yun's performance has been very stable. If there are no accidents, his future is optimistic, so Land Rover is so willing.

After reading Land Rover's contract, Meng Yun nodded and said, "There is nothing wrong with Land Rover's contract, let's make a decision like this. Bill, let Land Rover know when the time comes to sign the contract."

Bill Duffy smiled: "Of course they hope that the sooner the better, the regular season will come after that. If you can average 20+ per game in the regular season, it won't be the price."

Zhao Hao also laughed.

Meng Yun put down the Land Rover contract and looked at another one.

This is a contract for the beverage brand Gatorade. As a beverage brand company with a history of more than 50 years, Gatorade has a large market in the United States.

Gatorade, Coca-Cola, and Pepsi all have a tradition of signing NBA players. Kobe Bryant has signed Coca-Cola, Beckham has endorsed Pepsi, and Gatorade is indispensable as a sports drink. Sports stars, such as Argentine football player Messi, NBA Thunder Star Kevin Durant, and Meng Yun's teammate Devin Wade, etc.
Of course, Gatorade actually belongs to Pepsi-Cola. It was acquired by Pepsi-Cola in 2001, but it has not been operating as an independent brand.

It is worth mentioning that Gatorade also signed Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.

So it's not surprising that Gatorade has taken a fancy to Meng Yun now.

In fact, Coca-Cola also wanted to sign Meng Yun, but in the end Bill Duffy still felt that Gatorade was better after comparison.

The quotation given by Gatorade is indeed very tempting, 3 million US dollars in 1100 years.

After reading it, Meng Yun already knew what he was thinking. Land Rover and Gatorade's double-teaming was very reasonable, and they both demanded the right to renew the contract first. This is no problem, the key is that the term is not long.

Some players can't wait for the first five or six-year long-term contract, but Meng Yun is not willing. He is still on the rise, and there is no need to sell his future ahead of time.

"Bill." Meng Yun said: "There is no problem with Gatorade's contract. I have no objections. You just talk to them and let me know when the time comes."

"Okay." Bill Duffy smiled and said, "That's the decision. Meng, congratulations on signing two big contracts. Wait until the two contracts are signed, and you will be a multi-millionaire."

"Thank you." Meng Yun thanked Zhao Hao, glanced at Zhao Hao, and said, "Bill, Zhao Hao will be handed over to you. I hope you can help him more."

Zhao Hao smiled gratefully at Meng Yun.

Bill Duffy nodded quickly, smiled and praised Zhao Hao for being smart, Meng Yun made a lot of money by signing these two big contracts, so why not Bill Duffy?
It was done, and Bill Duffy wasn't staying.

Zhao Hao also left with Bill Duffy. Meng Yun's signing with Land Rover and Gatorade this time is also a good training opportunity for Zhao Hao. He needs to learn from Bill Duffy.

Watching the two leave, Meng Yun went back to the room and lay down on the sofa, in a good mood: "Although the total amount of the contract with Under Armor originally signed was more than 500 million, but it was paid every year in splits. It’s less than [-] million US dollars. However, with the two contracts of Land Rover and Gatorade, it should be worth tens of millions a year.”
