Reboot McGrady

Chapter 123 124 Negotiation
McGrady's contract with Adidas expired in 2003.Adidas showed full sincerity and raised the offer again and again.

From 7 million US dollars in 9500 years, to 1.2 million US dollars, and now to 1.5 million US dollars, the price has continued to rise.Unfortunately, McGrady still didn't nod.

Arne Treme didn't know what McGrady was thinking. Such a generous contract was already sky-high today, more than twice as high as Kobe.Of course, because Kobe's contract has not yet expired, if it expires, the price may be about the same.

"Let me make a hypothesis first. Now there is a Chinese player in the Eagles. If I can use the Chinese player to open up the Chinese market, as the core player of the Eagles, the sales of sneakers will increase significantly."

McGrady looked at the other party's negotiator, and finally showed his trump card.This is one of his confidence, the future China market.

He continues to express goodwill to the other side of the ocean, and is even called the NBA star who knows China best by Chinese fans.His popularity in China has increased a lot.Although Battelle's performance was poor, he was a native of Huaxia, so he was still watched by many fans.

"The vastness of the Chinese market is shocking, but unfortunately, they have no outstanding players to play in the NBA, and the possibility of opening the Chinese market is not high."

"In that case, how about we wait for the cooperation negotiation between us, and if you see the possibility of opening up the Huaxia market, we will negotiate again?" McGrady responded with a smile.

The Adidas negotiators were very depressed. They thought McGrady was just the player's head, and the authority was handled by the agent. They didn't expect that the negotiation was more difficult than Arne Treme.

"If the several conditions we put forward are met, the company can't consider your opinion." The Adidas representative pondered for a long time.

The first condition, of course, is that McGrady wins the scoring title, which is a relatively high probability prerequisite.McGrady may win the league scoring title this season, averaging only 0.1 points less than Iverson this season.

The second condition is to at least lead the team to win the division championship.This condition is difficult to fulfill. Last season, Tracy McGrady led the Heat to the Eastern Conference Finals. Unfortunately, he was plagued by injuries and failed to become the Eastern Conference champion.

The third condition, of course, is to open the Huaxia market, if it really happens.This proves that McGrady has a huge appeal. Although the Huaxia market is currently small and the level of wealth is not high, it has a vast space, and the country is developing at a high speed, and it will definitely get better and better.

"These three conditions can be met, and we are willing to give you the shares of Adidas." The negotiating manager raised his cards, "If you sign a lifetime contract, we will adjust your income according to the sales of sneakers. This is a safer approach."

"Is Adidas going to give up the US market?" McGrady asked back, with the cunning of a businessman, "If you don't step up the layout, Nike will eat all your shares."

What he said was the truth, Adidas came up with the Brothers Basketball, and the next few young masters wearing Nikes completed the task of the Brothers Basketball, and it was cool to hold a group.However, this is also related to Adidas' strategic choice. The players signed do not have much market appeal.

Duncan, Billups, Garnett.Either a post player or a low-entertainment player who doesn't sell shoes.Only McGrady is better and belongs to the mainstay.

If Arenas does not hold a gun to play thrillers, he also has a good market appeal and is quite a player with personality.

McGrady wanted to remind Adidas not to let Kobe go, but stopped again.That hasn't happened to Kobe, who is still an Adidas player.

We agreed with Adidas to negotiate again at the end of the year, and the status quo is currently maintained.As soon as the Adidas people left, McGrady looked at Arntrum, "Nike, Reebok, AJ, didn't they contact you?"

"Didn't you want to renew your contract with Adidas yourself?"

"The contract renewal is the contract renewal. You can also listen to the quotations from other companies! Maybe there is a better choice?"

McGrady smiled meaningfully. "By the way, isn't there a Huaxia brand? Let's take a look."

"Most of them are small contracts, and they want to use portrait rights more." Arne complained, "In China, I saw your photo on the packaging of snacks."

McGrady smiled wryly, there was no way.At present, the laws of China are not perfect, and it is difficult to eradicate such problems.

"This is Golden Throat Lozenge, I want to use a photo of you as an advertisement, and offer a price of 10 US dollars."

Hearing this, McGrady only thought of Ronaldo and Kaka as the "spokesmen" of the golden voice. For advertising, this company is really powerful.

"This is Adidas. At first I thought it was the parent company of Adidas!" Arn smiled. "They are a small company in Erythronia City. They want to sign with your Chinese characters. A word, printed on the shoe."

Arne dug out a bunch of materials, "Yes, there is also this company called Jordan, which is also a sneaker company. Jordan, which is not Michael Jordan, is called Southern Grass and Woods according to their explanation. The idea of ​​this company is the same as that of Adidas Wang. , I just want your signature in Chinese characters."

Is the word "Maddy" so famous?

"Haven't we already registered?" Whether it's McGrady, Tracy, Tracy, McGrady, McGrady, or even Maibao...the surrounding names have all been successfully registered as trademarks, just to prevent people from messing around.

The English name is registered, and the Chinese name is also registered. McGrady has long wanted to expand his influence.He pursued the shares of Adidas in order to start a personal brand, such as "AJ".

"It was only after registration that they discussed with us." Arne suddenly admired McGrady's foresight. "In addition, I found out that Adivon and Jordan are very close to each other, so they should have discussed it."

"Forget it, it's fine if you can't reply." The company in my hometown in the previous life, the other party didn't have too much activity, "Aren't there a few decent Chinese companies looking for me?"

"There are still a few mobile phone companies, I don't think it's a good match." Arne opened the file, "Bird mobile phone, the fighter jet in the mobile phone; Southern Hi-Tech, this is the high-tech brand of China. In addition, a communication company called Huawei Equipment manufacturers also want you to be the spokesperson for Europe and the United States.”

"Huawei?" McGrady's face changed, "That's it! I haven't endorsed communication equipment yet, so there should be no conflict."

"Okay, I will negotiate first, but the price will not be very high. Although their turnover exceeds 100 billion, it is in RMB. This company invests a lot in research and development, and currently does not have very strong strength."

Maddie nodded, expressing that he didn't mind.He knows that Huawei's future potential, no matter what, must be supported.

He doesn't understand technology, he doesn't understand national competition, and he has occupied the bodies and souls of American people, and still belongs to him, so... no business.

On the second day of the All-Star Game, apart from watching the slam dunk contest and the three-point contest, McGrady was engaged in business negotiations, and the whole day passed.

Fans are looking forward to the last day of the All-Star Weekend, the All-Star Game, and exciting games will be staged soon.

McGrady is the king of votes, has attracted much attention, and must start.
