Chapter 1186 Sky Price Contract
"We are very honored to announce that we have signed a lifetime contract with Chinese superstar Yang Yang, who has contributed tremendous value to our business, brand and shareholding."

Nike has pushed an official statement to the world at the same time on its official website, Twitter and other channels.

"We have cooperated with Yang Yang for many years. Whether in his career or in the future, we have seen greater potential from him, which prompted us to finally decide to sign this lifetime contract with him, because we believe that he will become our most valuable asset."

……

Nike's sudden official statement quickly aroused huge repercussions among the media and fans all over the world.

Earlier, some media broke the news that both Nike and Adidas wanted to sign Yang Yang, and Adidas was the most sincere because they saw Nike's business in Asia, especially the Chinese market, grow by leaps and bounds after signing Yang Yang.

Some Spanish media even broke the news that Adidas asked Real Madrid to convince Yang Yang that Yang Yang must switch from Nike to Adidas, and the German brand is willing to pay the highest contract price for this.

But in the end, what is surprising is that Yang Yang finally signed Nike, and it was a lifetime contract. This simply cut off all the illusions of Adidas. From now on, Yang Yang will be completely tied to the chariot of Nike.

Countless media and fans have forwarded and commented, especially concerned about how much sponsorship fee Nike paid after signing a lifetime contract with Yang Yang?How high is the value of this contract?

Someone quickly speculated that according to this contract, Nike would pay Yang Yang a sponsorship fee of 500 million euros every year. Not only that, but Yang Yang's personal brand was very popular in Nike's channels, and he could get a generous share of income from Nike every year.

"According to preliminary estimates, in 500 it already exceeded 2000 million euros, and in [-] it will exceed [-] million euros. This means that Yang Yang is becoming the hottest top brand in Nike's hands. This is also a key factor for Nike to sign a lifetime contract with Yang Yang first, and Yang Yang also hopes to continue to maintain this cooperation with Nike."

But soon, the news was refuted, because Yang Yang's agent Mino Raiola, when interviewed by the media in the United States, made a high-profile statement that the rumor was not true because he seriously underestimated the value of Yang Yang.

"Constrained by the contract, the only thing I can say is that it is very high."

Raiola also said that currently the only player who has signed a lifetime contract with Nike is Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, and Yang Yang is the only player other than Jordan who has signed a lifetime contract with Nike, and he comes from football. This in itself is a kind of recognition and affirmation of Yang Yang.

But Raiola also said that the lifetime contract is only part of the reason for Yang Yang to renew his contract with Nike. More importantly, Yang Yang sees the prospect of continuing cooperation with Nike, especially the Yang Yang brand. With the cooperation between the team and Nike in the past few years, it has developed very rapidly and is gradually becoming a golden sign in the sports field.

The media quickly interpreted the meaning from Raiola’s words, that is, Yang Yang signed a lifetime contract with Nike, not only because of the huge sponsorship fee, but also because Yang Yang’s brand has become an independent brand like Jordan, and he gets a huge sales share from Nike every year.

There is no doubt that this is the real big head.

But neither the media nor the fans are particularly interested in these. What they care more about is the sponsorship fee.

……

On the second day after Nike released the official statement, Yang Yang appeared in the Nike flagship store in the center of Madrid to participate in the unveiling ceremony of Nike's new World Cup boots. He wore a pair of Nike's new ghost brand boots and appeared in front of the media and fans.

This sneaker is different from the past. Nike designers spent four years tailor-made for Yang Yang. The sneakers are very suitable for Yang Yang's characteristics from material to style to features.

Nike Global Football Design Director Denis also attended the event, saying that this pair of boots will make Yang Yang faster on the court because it is lighter, and the Nike team studied Yang Yang's game and found that he has a lot of back and forth runs and sprints, so this sneaker canceled the tongue and adopted a new technology similar to socks.

"Every player wants to have a pair of shoes that fit like a sock, and this sneaker has the feeling of running barefoot after wearing it. This integrated surface design, without the tongue, can avoid the trouble caused by the tongue when the player runs from side to side, which makes it more comfortable."

Yang Yang also gave enough face, smiled and praised a few words, and at the same time said that he will wear this new pair of boots for the World Cup in Brazil.

Nike also stated that in the World Cup in Brazil, this brand new boot will only be used by Yang Yang, with two color schemes, and other Nike players will wear other styles, which also reflects Yang Yang's uniqueness.

…………

…………

At noon, Yang Yang participated in a Nike event. At noon, Yang Yang invited Nike designers and senior executives to have lunch in the Bernabéu restaurant, accompanied by two of Yang Yang's managers, Mino Raiola and Wei Zheng.

Among them, the Italian fat man came back from the United States on a special trip.

This time he came back with a full reward and brought back a huge contract with astronomical price.

5000 million euros per year!
Yang Yang felt a little unbelievable, because he didn't know why Nike would agree to Raiola's request.

Before the Champions League final, when Raiola told him the news, Yang Yang felt very unbelievable, thinking that Raiola was crazy, so that when Raiola brought him the contract and asked him to sign it, he seemed to be dreaming.

5000 million euros per year, that is simply sky-high!
Now Adidas’ sponsorship fee for Messi is about 1000 million euros per year, and Nike’s lifetime contract signed with American NBA basketball superstar Kevin Durant last year is 2000 million US dollars for ten years, ranking first in history. James’ current contract is only [-] million US dollars per year, and it is said that it will increase significantly after it expires next year.

But now, Nike has given Yang Yang 5000 million euros per year, which is crazy!
So much so that after sending off the Nike executives, Yang Yang looked at Raiola and Wei Zheng in disbelief, and shook his head and smiled wryly after a long time.

"What a crazy world!"

Of course the two agents knew what Yang Yang meant.

"Did you know? Yang, your biggest problem is conservatism. You don't know your own value at all." Raiola smiled inscrutably, with a shrewd expression that people have to admire, but he couldn't help but want to beat him up.

There is only one Yang Yang in the world, and behind Yang Yang is the whole of China, the whole of Asia, and now including North America and Europe. This is the value of Yang Yang. If Nike and Adidas want it, they have to grab it.

In this case, Raiola, who is good at negotiating, began to play a role.

Of course, when Yang Yang signs this contract, he can draw [-]% every year. Although he still needs to share it with Wei Zheng, it is still rich enough, because it is equivalent to sitting and collecting money.

"Also, recently Zlatan asked me to convey that he will treat you to dinner later, and he wants to thank you."

"Huh?" Yang Yang was a little surprised.

"The investment companies you founded at the beginning made money, and each of you shared 50 euros." Raiola laughed.

It was only then that Yang Yang suddenly realized, but it was true that he hadn't seen these buddies for a while, and he himself really didn't have much feeling for money, those were like numbers to him.

Just like a few days ago, Wei Zheng told him that the domestic mobile phone manufacturer Rice that he invested in had a skyrocketing valuation in recent years. It is currently the number one mobile phone brand in China, with a valuation as high as 450 billion US dollars.

According to Wei Zheng, since Rice's shares are currently very popular, and the valuation has just experienced a year-long rise, out of risk considerations, he decided to take advantage of the current opportunity of the old equity transfer to cash out his shares as much as possible.

In other words, Yang Yang earned at least a hundred times from this investment.

In addition to rice, there are Jingdong, Meituan, Didi and Toutiao, etc., which have made Yang Yang a lot of money. Judging from the current valuation, he himself doesn't know how much his net worth is, anyway, he doesn't have to think about money.

Of course, Yang Yang has indeed spent a lot of money these years.

At least he doesn’t have much money on hand at the moment. Basically, it’s not in real estate, shops, and office buildings, but in stocks. Recently, he has also upgraded the plan for ten Hope Primary Schools per year and teacher training. The number of primary schools donated to each year has reached [-], hoping to better help children in rural areas of the motherland go to school.

Not only that, he also set up charitable foundations successively in the name of Su Ye and his wife, his parents, and son Yang Guang to vigorously promote charitable causes in the country, hoping to do his best to help more people in need.

For the current Yang Yang, he already has money, fame and fortune, and he doesn't have any big pursuits. The only thing he wants to do is to continue to pursue his dreams on the football field and challenge his own limits.

……

Raiola knew that Yang Yang didn't have a strong interest in money matters, so the topic quickly shifted to football, and the topic of small talk was naturally inseparable from the World Cup and the European summer transfer market.

Among them, Raiola first mentioned the Portuguese agent Mendes.

"It is very difficult for Real Madrid to sign De Gea this year, because the cooperation between Mendes and Manchester United is getting deeper and deeper." Raiola said with a half-smile.

In today's European football, the two biggest agents are Mino Raiola and Jorge Mendes.

Among them, Raiola is following the player route, while Mendes is actively cooperating with the club.

Although the two took different paths, they both did well.
