Legend Raiders

Chapter 483
Jazz?

Which other player in the entire NBA can get such a title?
No one in the senior management of Li Ning Company knew who Qin Tao was addressing, and the nickname "Flying Pig" came to mind.

That's right.

The first call Qin Tao made was to Charles Barkley.

The choice of this old man who is a bit old-fashioned with him is firstly because their relationship is not bad, and secondly because his height and skills seem to be closer to "ordinary people".

Besides, a "tough man" like him will give people a sense of iron and blood in terms of temperament.

You must know that throughout his career, he has won so many honors with such a short stature, which has already explained the problem.

of course.

There is really not much news about Barkley going to other countries to engage in "money-absorbing tours" and opening training camps by himself, but you really don't know what will happen if you don't try it.

After Charles Barkley suddenly received a call from Qin Tao, his expression was also a little dazed.

First of all, because he was not concentrating, he didn't understand what Qin Tao said.

Secondly, he pondered for a while, and couldn't help being a little confused.

Make sense.

As a famous star in the alliance, it's not that he has never received such an invitation, but because he doesn't want to cause trouble, and there are some other things, he rarely agrees to it.

So he didn't say anything immediately, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff.

But Qin Tao also gave it a try, and didn't urge anything, waiting for Barkley to speak first.

Soon.

As the sound of inhaling came from the receiver, Qin Tao knew that this guy had something to say.

"Little brother, may I take your words as an informal invitation?"

Qin Tao said in his heart that there is a door, and said quickly: "That's right. If you have time."

That's a beautiful thing to say.

Under such a question, Barkley really didn't know how to speak.

If it was said that Qin Tao was just an invitation from his friends, he would have simply agreed, because he also needed to take a break.

However, he has always been very cautious about such invitations with potential business cooperation.

It's not that he thinks money is burning his hands, it's that various problems among them really don't know which link will cause trouble.

of course.

With the current situation of the league and the development of business in China, basically everyone in the NBA knows that it is a super treasure mountain.

so.

Barkley subconsciously began to seriously think about this invitation, subconsciously analyzing the pros and cons of it.

Qin Tao accepted it as soon as he saw it, and said bluntly: "Charles, I know you have a lot of work, as long as you think about it seriously, I am already very happy."

"Okay! Let me think about it." Barkley was also a straightforward person, leaving such a sentence, the two exchanged a few words, and then hung up the phone.

Qin Tao frowned slightly and shook his head, then turned around and stared at the senior executives at the table and said, "Barkley may think about it seriously. If there is news, I will notify you as soon as possible."

incredible!
Those high-level officials secretly gave their thumbs up.

Make sense.

If they came forward to invite them, it would not be as smooth as Qin Tao's.

The first is that their size has already determined the problem, and the second is that the group of serious NBA celebrities and superstars really may not be able to fancy them.

Just say Dwyane Wade.

If it weren't for the really scary treatment given by Li Ning Company, given his age of over [-], even if he was still in his prime, wouldn't it be worth an absolutely expensive equity, with so much salary?

If you add O'Neal who was about to choose to retire at that time, do you think such a big company really can't get superstar players?

But sorry.

Serious superstars really look down on Li Ning Company.

Let's not talk about using gold dollars to open the way.

Only the contracts signed by superstar players and the company have many strict breach of contract regulations.

so.

It's not that Li Ning company really can't invite this type of players, it's just that their own company doesn't give them a chance at all.

Then there is the cooperation between the company and the company.

Even if Li Ning can put down its arrogance and cooperate strategically with a giant like Adidas Nike, it is absolutely impossible for commercial cooperation involving top players.

This is not an act of a villain, but the result of status determination.

So when Qin Tao made that phone call and got Barkley's intentional idea, don't you think they were surprised?

of course.

There is still a difference between a celebrity and a top player.

First of all, they are no longer active players, and secondly, the series of contracts they signed, except for the good sales, do not know when they will be re-enacted.

The second is the problem of their contract itself.

It is said that in addition to signing the super ten-year and scary lifetime contracts for some players, their contracts will undergo huge changes after they retire.

If you have the influence of Kobe, even if you choose to retire, giant companies will not give up.

Because your own series sells super well, they can't afford to throw money into the water.

But relatively "ordinary" players are not so lucky. Maybe they will sell you shoes for a year or two, and then they will go their separate ways.

of course.

This is not to say that they have completely lost contact with celebrity-level players, and they will still have a relatively loose contract.

For example, how much money will you give each year, if the series has the idea of ​​re-enacting, they will sign another value-added contract and so on.

all in all.

Retired players have far fewer problems and are easier to operate than active players.

But as I said before, except for the fact that retired players who are short of money will come for the sake of money, they are not very short of money, or they have connections in the United States or even North America. would choose here.

of course.

Another point that Chinese companies are most concerned about is whether the player's conduct is in line with their corporate culture and whether it is in line with the current situation.

So there are really many, many things in it. On the one hand, it can't be solved, and if you want to make things happen, don't even think about it.

And Qin Tao, who finished the first phone call, originally wanted to make a few more phone calls, but after Zarya's sharp eyes, he could only hold back his thoughts.

Next.

Li Ning executives, who have been up and down in the business world for many years, are also shrewd and tight. No one mentioned this matter and continued to discuss their cooperation matters.

When the two parties are almost established, they will finally enter into a kind of communication that is half business and half life.

"Miss Taylor, you not only have a young talent like Qin Tao, a top talent in the NBA, but the other two players are also very strong."

The vice president surnamed Wang said with a smile on his face.

Zarya smiled to herself, but said modestly: "It's just my luck, and they are also very competitive."
