Chapter 399 Contract Amount: Nearly [-] Million Dollars!
There was still some emotion in Chen Yu's heart, which was undeniable.

Anyway, he feels that he doesn't expect to rely on any sports brand in the United States to increase his popularity, and he feels that he will not need it in the future.

With this basketball system, many things can be self-sufficient, and there is no need to give up too much for some extra benefits.

"Listen to me!" After hearing Chen Yu's thoughts, Bill Duffy began to have his own theory again.

"Chen, I know you are in your prime, and I know you have a lot of confidence in yourself. There is nothing wrong with that, really! And I believe in you too, but it is actually more important for you to sign with a sneaker brand in the United States. It can allow you to break into the entertainment circle, fashion circle and sports circle in the United States, because you know that many things here are colluded with each other, and being able to sign a contract with a sneaker brand here will make more people think that you have It’s a class of people who will start to ignore some of your identity as a Chinese player, and I think this is really important!”

Chen Yu also understood what Bill Duffy said. As a player, Chen Yu was of course somewhat estranged in the United States, and some estrangements could even be said to be everywhere.

Various signings, participation in various activities, and acting like them, in fact, this is really a way to integrate.

And the sneaker contract is really a big contract, and this kind of signing is really helpful for Chen Yu's development here.

But for Chen Yu, deep in his heart, he doesn't regard himself as his home. This is not a place he likes very much. The NBA is the basketball league with the highest level of basketball in the world. This is the reason why Chen Yu came here. Not because he likes the country.

So Chen Yu felt that there were some things that he didn't need to think about too much. Instead, taking advantage of his popularity, his popularity should still be very high in the next ten years or so, so he brought some of his popularity back to his country, so that It's also good that they can have some benefits in this regard.

Moreover, the domestic price is not low.

After all, they know that they want to compete with giants like Adidas, rather than the domestic mutual bidding, so the sincerity they have to show is of course very high.

Eucalyptus and Li Yan have also tried to sign foreign stars in recent years, Li Yan and Wade, Eucalyptus and Tang Shen, these are all starting to sign contracts, and the prices are very expensive. There are some share contracts, which can guarantee that Wade will still have a certain amount of income after retirement.

Stars are not worthless after retiring. After all, the player with the most expensive sneaker contract is still Jordan, who has retired. Even if he retires for so many years, he can still get tens of millions or hundreds of millions of income from the sneaker contract. .Players like Iverson, even though they have retired, and even though they come to China for a lot of time just to walk around and not really play a game, but every time they come to China, they can take away a considerable amount of bonuses.

Therefore, sometimes a brand will try to sign a lifetime contract with a player.

In this way, both sides will have their own considerations.

The brand will think that a player can be bound with a lifetime contract. After all, this does not mean that a player is worthless after retirement. From the perspective of a star, they still lack enough confidence in future development and do not Not everyone thinks that they will play better and better in the future, and some people even want to sign a big contract after a year or two, whether it is a salary or a sneaker contract, after earning a lot of money You don't have to work so hard.

After all, there are many bankrupt players in the NBA, but there are also some frugal players.

For others, it may not be enough to spend much money, but for these players, some money is enough.After all, even the fringe players in the NBA are equivalent to several million RMB a year. After working for a few years, there will be tens of millions, 1000 million RMB. There is no way to earn money by working and moving bricks.

So both sides have their own considerations.

And the reason Bill Duffy told Chen Yu before is almost the same: while you are still famous, and now you are on the rise, you don't have to think too much about some things, and don't always worry about losing money when you get rich in the future. Kind of, should seize the moment.

Chen Yu felt that his theory was really practical for most players, but it was really not that useful for him.

Chen Yuzhen was a different kind of player.

"Bill, I think there are other ways I can eliminate these things. I don't have to go through the sneaker contract. You know, the sneaker contract is really big. It's a big thing! Some things we can take it slowly and not use it. I'm in a hurry. What's more, the price of the domestic sneaker contract is not low, I think it is enough!" Chen Yu said.

"Well, actually, I know that I can only advise you. If you don't listen... I can't help it. What's more, I have proved you to be right every time before, so I believe you should be able to prove it this time. I was right!"

After Bill Duffy said such things, Chen Yu smiled on the phone and said, "Well, I hope my choice is correct! Then I think we can find a time to talk to you." They had a good chat!"

"can!"

In the past few days, people from China have already been here, so it is more convenient for Chen Yu to talk to them.

Chen Yu also started negotiations with these people.

Of course, Adidas and Nike were not completely ignored in the middle. After all, some things have to consider other people's emotions.

Because the season has already started for some time now, signing the contract now can be said to be a kind of expedient measure for both parties to accommodate each other after Chen Yu broke out.

This kind of thing didn't go on for too long. Anyway, before the end of the Lakers' next game, the contract has probably been finalized.

What was finally settled was a five-year contract with Eucalyptus!
The five-year price equivalent to US dollars has reached a terrifying 500 million, and according to Chen Yu's performance in the past few years, he will be given a certain amount of options here, which is indeed a particularly generous condition.

These performances mainly mean that in the past two years, if Chen Yu can always be in the top ten of the MVP list, he can be given options, and the options can be converted into real equity in the later stage.

For Chen Yu, he was also relieved. After all, with such a big contract, he should be able to give Bill Duffy an explanation.
