The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 229 Nike overcomes the soft, the tough guy slaughters the barbarian

With the trophy, Tu Man excitedly rushed to fight the flood.

On the way, I was recalled by Sister Tao...

So I hurriedly sent a message to Emma, ​​drove the Raptor F-650 straight to the airport, and took the nearest flight to Phoenix overnight.

Emma immediately replied as if she had received an amnesty:

"Xie Tao, take pity on me!"

Tu Man rolled his eyes, what does it have to do with Sister Tao?
She is so busy kicking the back of the head, I'm afraid she still doesn't know about you...

Sure enough, I was in a hurry.

Sister Tao actually drove a Ferrari to pick up Tu Man in person.

Tu Man said with a smile:
"Sister Tao, in such a hurry, could it be that the US emperor has been overthrown?"

Sister Tao said angrily:
"Nonsense, you overthrew the US emperor, where can you find these bullies to give you money?"

As he said that, he cut off a knife in his hand and cursed:
"Scumbag!"

Tu Man didn't dare to hide, scratched his numb scalp, and said aggrievedly:

"Sister Tao, don't wrong a good person!"

Sister Tao sneered:
"What's the matter with Emma Watson, and Li Qing'er?"

Tu Man grinned:
"Did you watch the All-Star Game?"

Sister Tao snorted:
"I don't have the time to read it. Old Tu said it. You just played in the NBA for a year and you've learned badly. There are really no good people in this industry. Why don't you just retire?"

Tu Man's face became stiff:

"Come on, Li Qing'er hasn't written off her horoscope yet. This is a normal relationship between me. Why is retirement so serious?"

Sister Tao glared at him and drove seriously.

She didn't speak, and Tu Man didn't dare to speak, and the atmosphere became tense for a moment.

After a while, Sister Tao said lightly:
"Nike has softened."

Tu Man flatteringly said:

"Of course, my Tao sister is out, slag Nike, isn't it easy to catch?"

Sister Tao's winking eyes were curved, but her voice was still flat:

"I signed an endorsement contract with Ferrari for a year, and there is nothing messy about it. I just need to shoot a commercial, and you just need to find time to shoot it."

Tu Man clasped his fists and said:
"Thank you Lord Long En, the little one obeys the order!"

Sister Tao let out a "puchi" laugh and cursed:

"Not in shape!"

Seeing her cloudy and sunny, Tu Man dared to ask:
"Sister Tao, did you ask me to come back to sign a car endorsement contract?"

Sister Tao shook her head:
"The car endorsement has already been signed. It was Nike who insisted on you attending the signing conference. They said that they could pay an extra 300 million signing fees. We can't be cheap, can we?"

Tu Man took it for granted, that's 300 million!

On February 2, Nike held a large-scale press conference, announcing that it had signed a five-year endorsement contract with the new All-Star MVP Tu Man.

Obviously, Sister Tao made concessions on the contract period, and three years became five years.

In exchange for a substantial increase in the basic annual salary, according to the announced contract details, within the five years, Tuman will receive a basic annual salary of 1500 million U.S. dollars each year, a total of 7500 million U.S. dollars in five years.

Of course, this is just an appetizer.

The highlight of this contract is the "Athlete Award" incentive system. The contract stipulates that every season, every time Tu Man wins an award in the list, his basic annual salary will be increased accordingly...

The "Athlete Reward List" was listed by Tu Man in imitation of the exchange system, and the US dollars in the back are naturally the ability of Sister Tao!

Of course, in this process, Ferrari contributed a lot.

At the press conference, Nike announced the list of rewards:
Won the NBA championship, +1000 million.

Regular season MVP, +1000 million.

Finals MVP, +600 million.

All-Star Game MVP, +800 million.

Best defensive player, +800 million.

The best lineup, +500 million.

The best defensive team first team, +500 million.

All-Star starting lineup, +500 million.

Leading scorer, +500 million.

Rebound leader, +500 million.

Block king, +500 million.

Slam dunk contest champion, +300 million.

Player of the Month, +100 million.

According to this calculation, Tu Man has already won the best player of the month, won the slam dunk contest championship, was selected as the All-Star starter, and won the AMVP...

他今年的薪水=1500+100+300+500+800……

A full $3200 million!
Originally, Nike was going to take away Tu Man's slam dunk contest champion and Rookie Challenge MVP, but Sister Tao argued hard and finally secured the slam dunk contest championship.

In fact, Nike is still very thieves. This list can be regarded as harsh. The best team and the best defensive team are only recognized for one team, and the All-Star lineup is only recognized for starters.

These three lineups, no matter which one, represent only the five best players in the NBA.

Not to mention the three major MVPs, that is the No.1 in the league!
Can Tu Man really get this honor?

They won't lose at all!
One stone caused a lot of waves, and Tuman's endorsement contract was immediately compared with Ross and Adidas, the most expensive in the NBA...

The annual salary of a single season has been completely blown out, but the total amount seems to be not as good as Rose.

But after careful calculation, it seems that Tuman's annual salary can easily exceed 5000 million. After all, he already has 3200 million at this time?
If last year's level is maintained, then the best defensive player, the best first team, first defense, rebounding leader, and blocking shot leader are no problem!
It's already 5000 million in total. Doesn't this count in case the Suns win the championship?

They haven't lost yet...

Calculated in this way, Nike may have to give Tu Man a small [-] million in the past five years. Why did this stingy sneaker dealer suddenly become so generous?
They don't know how difficult it is for Nike!
Since Sister Tao interrupted the negotiations in early February, the Nike headquarters has been a little panicked.

Later, Ferrari announced the signing of Tuman in a high-profile manner.

Nike couldn't sit still.

As a result, Sister Tao put out a sentence:

"Ferrari's endorsement fee is enough for Tuman to buy a medium-sized sneaker company. Backed by the 14 billion Chinese market, isn't it good to be your own brand?"

Nike was dumbfounded at the time. The new employees didn't join the job, and they became a strong competitor directly?

How can this work? How big is the Chinese market!

However, with Tu Man's current influence, if he represented China in the Olympics and won a medal, what would his reputation be like?

It is not impossible for one person to eat the Chinese sneaker market!
Therefore, in the subsequent negotiations, Nike basically negotiated on their knees, and they changed whatever Sister Tao said...

However, Sister Tao inspired Nike.

They imitated the practice of signing His Majesty the Flying Man back then, separated a production line, and established a new sub-brand called——

Tough guy butcher!

Originally, they planned to call it "Bawang Tuman", but Tao Jie rejected it.

This is a popular shampoo in China, and there will be controversy at that time, and even Sister Tao knows that Amare Stoudemire is called "Little Bully". How can Tu Man be his father?

How bad that is...

Finally, Nike organized a fan poll on the Internet——

Use one word to describe brutality!
The eyes of the fans are discerning. After a week of voting statistics, the word "tough guy" topped the list...

So, after 27 years.

Another sneaker brand corresponding to "Air Jordan" came into being!

Nike quickly launched the production plan, and they announced at the end of the press conference that they will officially launch the "tough guy generation" before the start of next season...
