Chapter 103 Selection of Sneaker Brands
The drop in draft picks is most directly reflected in the fact that several major sneaker brands interested in Li Lei have begun to lower their prices desperately.

Nike is the most dishonest one. They offered a contract of 3 million for 150 years, which is about the same price as those non-popular draft picks. Although Li Lei's bench press performance is eye-catching, you can't bully people like that.

"This contract is very high for Bruce. After all, he has not been in contact with basketball for a long time. No one knows what he will develop in the future. If his performance is good enough, I think we can continue to increase it."

Although the Nike spokesperson’s tone was very flat, the arrogance in his words was undoubtedly revealed. Nike, like Reinsdorf, relied on Jordan to get up. Back then, Nike existed on the same scale as the Wenzhou shoe factory. It was because of signing Jordan that they became a brand that cannot be ignored in the sports world, especially in the United States, where they are completely their stronghold.

Therefore, Nike doesn't care much about Li Lei, who has stirred up the situation in the NCAA this year. Anyway, a rookie like him should not be too much in the NBA. 3 million in 150 years is really a lot.No Asian player has ever gotten a contract like this.

In addition to Nike, Reebok, Converse, and Adidas all came, but none of them made a statement.

After the Nike spokesperson finished speaking, the Converse spokesperson looked at Li Lei and started his own performance.

"There is no need to say more about the history of our Converse. Since you decided to join the NBA, Bruce, you also know about us. We have many superstars under our banner. These people may even be your childhood idols..."

The spokesperson of Converse has the potential to brag. He really doesn’t know what his last name is. Hearing his words, it seems that Converse is still the sports giant in North America and the world, not the sports brand that has long since lost its courage.

"Sir, in fact, I have only watched videos of those under your banner. As you said, I have very little experience with basketball, and I don't know anything about those superstars. So how much is your offer?"

The spokesperson of Converse was a little embarrassed. Li Lei was too unscrupulous. He cleared his throat, "Of course we won't offer a price as low as 3 million for three years. Our contract is 150 million for five years." Five million for five years. Perry Rogers recorded this price. Although it is not very high, it is at least much better than Nike's offer.

The Nike spokesperson snorted, does Converse want to regain its territory with an Asian?What a joke, unless Li Lei can reach Jordan's level, or God will not be able to save Converse.

Reebok also made an offer, which was 600 million in five years, which was a bit higher than Converse. The Nike spokesperson left with a snort. He knew that although Adidas had not yet offered an offer, Nike’s exit was inevitable.Throwing more than 500 million yuan on him is definitely a stupid move.

Now only Adidas has not submitted its own price. Adidas is a vice president from the United States, and this person is an old man.It is said that he has worked in Adidas for decades.

"Son, I know John very well, and I'm no stranger to you UCLA, so I'm giving you an offer of 8 million for 3700 years. If you are selected as an All-Star or something during these [-] years, we will consider launching signature boots for you."

8 years, this contract is so long, Li Lei is very clear that he doesn't need to grow up for so long if he has cheats, and if he signs for [-] years, it is really a loss.

"Thank you for your interest in me. It's just that this contract can be shortened for a period of four or five years. I can accept it, as long as I'm not as stupid as Nike in terms of remuneration." Li Lei had a hard time thinking about it. Now he has nothing to brag about. He is not the only one who won the UCLA championship, but Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the only superstar in UCLA history. Reggie Miller and Bill Wharton all have their own shortcomings.So if you ask for a lot of money and ask for a 7-year 9000 million like James, then you are looking for death.

The little old man from Adidas smiled. The two spokespersons of Converse and Reebok are a little ugly. Damn Li Lei doesn't care about us at all.No, this guy absolutely wants to fight, just because he is the first lottery rookie in the history of Chinese basketball, he is worth fighting for.The days of Reebok and Converse are not easy, and it is really aggrieved to survive in the cracks between Adidas and Nike.So if they want to change this situation, they must sign someone with commercial potential.

"We can also create signature sneakers for you. There are also incentive clauses, and we can give you a lifetime contract." The spokesperson of Converse finally took out his own trump card. He thought that this would not be used at all. After all, none of the superstars in the history of Converse, Karl Malone, Julius Erving, Larry Bird and Magician had a lifetime contract, and because of Jordan's rise, the sales of sneakers were not so hot.Converse also slipped from the position of the boss all of a sudden.

lifetime contract?Perry Rogers' eyes lit up. He currently only has two players under his banner. Although O'Neill is developing well, his sneakers are his own brand, so there is no such thing as a lifetime contract.

Li Lei laughed, that's right, the old man of Adi finally couldn't calm down, Converse's lifelong contract didn't make him think of it, he thought that he could easily recruit Li Lei with the relationship between John Wooden and UCLA, but now he has killed a Converse halfway through.Everything is not quite the same.

Reebok's spokesperson, like the previous Nike spokesperson, left silently. It is impossible for them to offer Li Lei a lifetime contract. After all, Iverson still exists under their banner.Unlike Converse, it is really out of date.

The little old man on Adi’s side went outside to make a phone call and came back, his face became very relaxed, “I went to talk to the headquarters, we can also give you a lifetime contract, but there is a premise, that is, within the rookie contract, you have to get the MVP, or be selected to the All-Star, the best team, the shorter the time you complete, the faster the contract will be executed, and vice versa.”
