Chapter 478 Let It Go

In the blink of an eye, Tobias had countless thoughts in his mind, and then he looked at Jenkins. He has shown sincerity and determination since his debut today. A set of numbers can easily break the balance. Really great.

But Tobias still maintained a trace of sanity.

Looking Jenkins up and down, he showed a smile, "Is Li Na's retirement irreversible?"

This is the best explanation.

Otherwise, how could Nike be so eager and bold. For a top giant like them, everything is a business with a bunch of numbers, so how can there be so much blood and feelings.

Jenkins could guess that the IMG brokerage company should exchange information internally, and cleverly use the information advantage to seize the opportunity, so Tobias's quick response was expected.

He didn't panic, neither admitted nor denied, but just shrugged his shoulders, "John, the focus should be on numbers, we've already given our heart, and it's up to Gao Wen to make a decision."

Strictly speaking, whether to agree to the contract should be decided by Gao Wen. Jenkins' move is to imply that Tobias, Gao Wen should have no reason to refuse when he sees the figure of 200 million US dollars per year.

Unfortunately, Jenkins only knows one thing and doesn't know the other.

Indeed, signing contracts should be decided by the players, and the agent has the right to negotiate and suggest, but not to make decisions; but Gao Wen's situation is special, Gao Wen trusts Tobias, and Jiang Yanyun and Gao Hongli also trust Gao Wen This also means that Tobias has the initiative and even decision-making power.

But Tobias didn't wake Jenkins, just smiled and said, "It's our honor."

Topic, stop there.

After Jenkins left, Tobias himself fell into deep thought, and then made a long-distance call to Eisenbud on the spot to communicate.

Objectively speaking, Nike offered a contract that couldn't be refused, and Tobias would be an idiot if he said no; but what's an agent's job?To strive for more interests and rights for the players is also to strive for more performance and credit for myself.

Think about it carefully, why has Nike been taking it easy?

Simply put, it is confidence.

In terms of superstars, they have Federer and Nadal; in terms of China, they have Li Na; in terms of the new generation, they have Dimitrov.

Look, those gleaming highlights on Gao Wen's body are actually not the content that Nike most urgently needs. Naturally, they can sit on the Diaoyutai and watch the battle, and see the situation before deciding whether to add icing on the cake.

But it was different after the semi-finals.

The "possibility of the disintegration of the era of the Big Four" has officially appeared on the table. A crisp defeat to Cilic, a further quarter-final loss, two wins and three narrow wins over Monfils, and Nadal's absence from defending the title due to injuries, the situation seems unprecedentedly severe.

In the Chinese market, Li Na's retirement caught Nike by surprise. The plan to launch a comprehensive market layout was overturned in an instant. After all, Li Na is still ranked in the top five in the world and won her second Grand Slam at the beginning of the year. Nike's previous plan for the future was full of confidence and step by step, but now the situation has been directly subverted.

In terms of the new generation of young people, Raonic and Dimitrov managed to fight their way out. As a result, at the U.S. Open, a younger Gao Wen became the leader of the "post-90s" and so on. This youth storm It also further leverages the market. Perhaps the "post-90s" have not had time to take over, and the "post-95s" are coming, so Nike's market planning naturally needs to be adjusted accordingly.

One thing, two things, three things, one after another.

Just as Tobias thought, the time and place are right, and everything is leaning towards Gao Wen. Then look at it at this time, Nike proposed to sign a five-year contract of 200 million US dollars per year. It is amazing, but it is not so outrageous and crazy.

"...Maybe, we can go one step further."

Tobias looked at Gawain in front of him and said so.

Just now, Tobias briefly informed Gao Wen of Nike's quotation, the current situation and his own judgment. Anyway, he still needs to seek Gao Wen's opinion. In the final analysis, the person who signed the contract was not Tobias but It was Gao Wen, especially after the recent cooperation, Tobias knew that this was the right way to cooperate.

Tobias was a little nervous. He knew that he was taking a risk. He refused to directly agree to Nike's incredible offer, and then continued in-depth negotiations. This is a very, very risky move. In fact, deep down, he himself has some contradictions——

An angel is saying that he should be content and win Nike's sky-high contract; but a devil is saying that he should gamble, which may become a negotiation and cooperation that will subvert his career.

The contradictory thoughts pulling left and right made Tobias not sure. Maybe deep down in his heart, he also wanted to hear Gawain's thoughts and gain some confidence.

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows, then nodded in affirmation.

"okay, I get it."

Although Tobias had expected such a result, he was overjoyed, and his smile rose involuntarily, but he still asked curiously.

"Aren't you tempted? Aren't you worried that I'm too greedy?"

"Heartbeat, of course I'm heartbeat, that's a check for 1000 million US dollars, to be honest, for me, that's enough, there's no need to fight for more; but John, this is your profession, not mine, I trust your judgment, and from your analysis, you know what you're doing, so it's up to you to make the decision."

"Aren't you worried that my excessive force will ruin the situation instead?"

"Hehe, don't worry, it's a big deal and we'll just break up. You know, I can change an agent at any time. I believe it shouldn't be too difficult now."

Tobias looked at Gao Wen with a serious face, and he showed his white teeth after speaking, as if he was discussing the weather with Tobias, which made the smile on Tobias's mouth gradually stiffen, and he slapped Shivered, and then saw Gao Wen calmly pat him on the shoulder, walking towards the fitness equipment with a smile on his face.

Tobias stood on tiptoe and called out to Gawain's back.

"You were joking just now, weren't you?"

"Gawain?"

"Is this a joke?"

But Gao Wen didn't respond at all, he joined Sampras and entered the recovery training, leaving Tobias alone with a smirk and muttering, in order to avoid disturbing Gao Wen's training, he couldn't help lowering his voice, "This kid must be joking." ".

That appearance made Sampras couldn't help laughing, and he showed a gloating expression with his back to Tobias, grinning and grimacing.

"Little guy, good job! Finally someone can make that guy John deflated."
