NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

Outside the airport, Gilbert, the owner of the Cavaliers, hugged Long Rui tightly, as if holding a treasure...

After a while, he seemed to remember something, and then let go of his hand.

"Long Rui, I actually have two things to do when I come here today."

"The first one, of course, is to welcome you!"

"As for the second thing..."

"I don't want to say it yet, but it's definitely a good thing to tell you!"

Speaking of this, Gilbert also made a fool of himself, which made Long Rui a little speechless.

"What's the matter?"

Long Rui asked indifferently.

Gilbert smiled mysteriously: "Follow me!"

He waved to Long Rui and walked towards the parking lot.

Long Rui glanced at him, said goodbye to his teammates before following him.

In the parking lot outside the airport, Gilbert's professional driver had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the two coming, he rushed up to greet them and opened the car door for them.

This is a limited edition Lincoln, and it has been remodeled. The interior space is very spacious, and NBA players like Long Rui feel very comfortable.

"Let's go."

Gilbert spoke to the driver.

The driver nodded and drove away.

After about forty minutes, the car stopped in front of the most luxurious hotel in Kecheng.

"We're here, right here!"

Gilbert said leisurely.

After getting out of the car, Long Rui looked around and couldn't help frowning slightly. He still doesn't know what Gilbert brought him here alone.

He didn't ask any more questions, but followed Gilbert into the hotel.

For a luxury hotel like this, the service attitude is perfect, and they all need to be booked in advance.

When the two entered the hotel, the manager of the hotel greeted them immediately.

"Mr. Gilbert! Come with me!"

Judging from the appearance of the two of them, they should be very familiar with each other. The hotel manager led the two of them into a private room as he spoke.

"Whatever you two need, tell me at any time!"

Gilbert waved his hand, signaling him to go out first.

After the manager left, he said: "There are still a few guests coming in a while!"

"guest?"

Long Rui didn't know who he was referring to. Could it be that there was another deal?

But he quickly abandoned the idea. If there is a deal between the teams, it should be the general manager David Griffin's business.

"Wait a moment, it should be there soon."

As soon as Gilbert finished speaking, there was a knock on the door of the box.

"Come on, I'll open the door!"

This surprised Long Rui. What kind of person could let Gilbert open the door himself?
The door of the private room was opened, and standing at the door was a woman in her 30s, tall and slender, and looked very capable in a professional attire.

After exchanging pleasantries with her, Gilbert led the woman into the private room.

"Long Rui, this is today's first guest, Miss Gina!"

"She's one of Adi's divisional presidents!"

Gilbert introduced to Long Rui.

Long Rui also got up immediately, and stretched out his hand: "Hello! Miss Gina!"

At this moment, he already knew what Gilbert meant by good things.

His current popularity remains high, so he will naturally be targeted by the endorsers of major sports brands. Presumably several other guests are also endorsers.

"Long Rui, nice to meet you!"

"I am your fan, I will watch every game of yours, I have to say, your performance is really great!"

Gina shook hands with Long Rui, and praised him even more.

Her tone of voice is just right, without making people feel flattered.

"As expected of a person who can be the division president, he has strong social skills."

Long Rui thought to himself, this is his first impression of Gina, he can't say he likes it, but at least he doesn't dislike it.

"Mr. Gilbert, may I begin?"

Gina asked politely.

Gilbert shook his head: "No hurry, there are two more coming."

Hearing this, Gina also nodded slightly. There will always be competition in business, and she knows very well that this trip will definitely not go smoothly.

The three of them chatted for a while in the private room, and the topics they talked about were all about Long Rui and some introductions to Adi.

About a quarter of an hour later, the other two endorsers also arrived here.

To Long Rui's surprise, there was a Huaxia person among them. From the briefcase in his hand, it could be seen that this was a representative sent by Huaxia Li Ning.

"Everyone is here, but first come, first served, let's start with Miss Gina."

Gilbert said it, and none of the three had any objection to it.

"Mr. Long Rui, I introduced a lot to Adi just now, and you must have some understanding."

"In order to save time, I won't say much, just show our sincerity. This is a 13-year contract of 2.8 million US dollars. Please take a look!"

Gina handed over the contract to Long Rui very simply.

The 13 million contract in 2.8 is definitely considered a big contract. Even Long Rui didn't expect that Adi would be willing to offer such a big contract!
Long Rui took the contract, glanced at it, and reconfirmed the amount of the contract. It has to be said that facing such a contract, anyone would be tempted.

"Miss Gina, I feel Adi's sincerity, but I still need to hear the quotations from the other two."

Long Rui said calmly.

Gina also nodded: "Of course, I can understand!"

The second is a middle-aged man named John, who is an endorser from Nike.

After a simple self-introduction, it is also straight to the point.

"Mr. Long Rui, I know that Adi's contract makes you very tempted, but when you see this contract, you should be even more excited!"

John's tone was very affirmative, and his expression showed confidence, as if he was absolutely sure that Long Rui would sign the contract!

Long Rui accepted the contract offered by Nike and began to watch it.

2.5 million in ten years, this is the contract provided by Nike to Longrui. Compared with Adidas, the value of this contract is obviously greater!
"Mr. Long Rui, how are you?"

John is very good at observing words and expressions. Even though Long Rui has restrained himself well, he still sees a trace of surprise in Long Rui's eyes, which makes him more convinced that Long Rui will sign a contract with Nike!

"Nike's contract is indeed very attractive, but I still want to see the next contract!"

As he said that, Long Rui turned his gaze to the last Chinese man.

This Huaxia man is called Li Zhengfeng, and he is the representative sent by Huaxia Li Ning.

But at this moment, Li Zhengfeng's face seemed a little embarrassed, and his hands were tightly clutching the briefcase.

"Mr. Long Rui, I..."

He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Long Rui. Long Rui had already seen the reason. If nothing goes wrong, the contract Li Ning offered him should be the lowest among the three, that's why Li Zhengfeng showed embarrassment color.
