Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 197 Signing with Nike
"When playing golf, you must first stand in a natural and relaxed state, with your feet shoulder-width apart, your hips and knees slightly bent forward, and when holding the club with both hands, try to hold it at the end of the club..."

The original competitive situation suddenly turned into Jordan teaching Li Weisi to play, and the atmosphere of tit-for-tat between the two before also instantly disappeared into nothingness.

As a student, Li Weisi is definitely a good student, obedient, serious, and eager to learn, and teaching Li Weisi also gave Jordan a feeling that he was finally strong in front of Li Weisi.

As a result, the two people who could not get used to each other suddenly became harmonious because of a golf lesson.

Looking at the harmonious scene in front of him, Falcao couldn't help saying: "Frank, what should we do?"

"Hush! Let them continue. It's better that they don't quarrel!" Frank stopped quickly, as if he was worried that Falcao would interrupt the scene.

"Yes! Although according to the plan, we should have the two confront each other, but those should only be appearances. The actual relationship between the two does not necessarily have to be tit for tat. If we can make them friends, it will be more beneficial to us Isn't it a promotion?" The middle-aged man named Knight also said.

"That's right, Mr. Knight, you are right. Competitors don't have to be enemies, they can also be friends! This kind of enemy who is also an enemy and a friend, and who cherishes each other, is more attractive to fans." Frank agreed.

"Of course. Fortunately, both of them will be partners of my Nike company in the future. I hope they can do what we want, and don't turn against each other." Knight said with a smile.

"Hahaha, how come?" Frank laughed.

The middle-aged man in front of him is none other than the founder of Nike, Phil Knight.

Knight was invited to play golf today, which also proves that Nike has taken a fancy to Li Weisi.

In fact, although Nike rejected Frank's conditions at the beginning of the season, they have not broken contact with Li Weisi. They have been watching the situation through Falcao.

Until Li Weisi was selected as the All-Star starter, Nike finally saw the commercial value of Li Weisi, but there was still a lot of controversy internally about the conditions proposed by Frank, because many people still did not believe that Li Weisi could reach Jordan's strength and commercial value .

In the end, it was not until Knight overcame all opinions and decided to give Li Weisi the same treatment as Jordan, which ended the company's internal debate.

And other companies, such as Adidas, Converse, Reebok, etc., have also submitted their own conditions to Li Weisi, and they are not even worse than Nike, especially Reebok, a company that wants to enter the basketball shoe market, has given Li Weisi a lot of money. A very large contract.

Unfortunately, it was finally rejected by Frank.

In the end, Nike signed a contract with Li Weisi for 3 million yuan in three years, and promised to open a sub-brand of Nike under the name of Li Weisi, and enjoy sales dividends. The dividend ratio is currently set at 150%, and will be adjusted up and down according to the corresponding incentive mechanism in the future.

The so-called incentive mechanism is some honor and data conditions specially added by Nike in order to prevent Li Weisi from falling out.

This includes: this season's All-Star starter, this season's best rookie, an average of 20+ per game, and more than 500 million pairs of sneakers within three years.

For Li Weisi, except for the fourth condition that has not been realized, all of these conditions are already a certainty.

Of course, in addition, Frank also proposed that he and Li Weisi need to participate in the design of sneakers, and Nike also agreed to this.

After all, in the eyes of Nike, do Frank and Li Weisi understand shoes?don't know!
Since they don't understand, then the designer can't complete the suggestions they gave, what else can they do?Have the ability to design it yourself!Do you think shoes are so well designed?
So, if they can't design it, what difference does it make if they don't ask for it?
In this way, another sky-high contract equivalent to Jordan was born. Compared with Jordan's 5-year 250 million, Li Weisi's contract has a shorter period, which Frank strongly requested.

After confirming all the conditions and reviewing by their respective lawyers, after confirming that there is no problem, Li Weisi is left to sign, and thus today's golf is born.

The reason why it is called Jordan is not only Knight's opinion, but also Falcao's opinion.

Originally, Falcao looked down on Li Weisi. If it wasn't for Frank, he would not have paid attention to Li Weisi at all, because he was not optimistic about Li Weisi's competitive level.

But this season, Li Weisi brought him too many surprises, especially when Li Weisi became an All-Star, he was even more fortunate that he did not give up on Li Weisi's decision.

But following that, there is another problem, that is, the problem of the two stars under his banner not being compatible, which also needs to be solved by him.

On the other hand, the reason why Knight called Jordan over, on the one hand, was to let Jordan know that he had competitors, and to stimulate Jordan's competitive spirit.

There is no other reason. The sales of Air Jordan 2 released last year were not good, so Jordan needs to be given some motivation.

On the other hand, I also hope to let Jordan know that the company still attaches great importance to you, and will discuss with you when signing other people.

Of course, how to negotiate is another matter.

Therefore, there is the scene of playing golf today.

"Bang..." After Jordan explained, Li Weisi finally swung the club and hit the first golf shot in his life.

The small white ball went straight into the sky, and then slowly landed on a flat lawn, not far from the flagpole where the hole is located.

Hitting the green in one shot, this...

Jordan on the side has all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred written all over his face. Is this guy a fool or really knows how to fight?

On the other hand, Li Weisi was dissatisfied, and said, "Damn it, why didn't you make it in? I have already calculated the angle and distance. Where did the error occur?"

After pondering for a while, Li Weisi finally determined that it should be the wind direction. After thinking about it, he couldn't help saying: "Michael, you are right, this golf is really not easy, and outdoor sports should be considered. There are too many factors, I take back what I just said."

I have to say that Li Weisi has one advantage, that is, he corrects his mistakes when he knows them. Although it is not easy to admit his mistakes, it is much better than those who actively admit their mistakes and never correct them.

However, although Li Weisi admitted that golf is not easy, but Jordan's face does not have any look of victory.

Damn it, hitting the green in one shot isn't that bad of a game?I played golf for the first time, and I hit hundreds of strokes in a game. Compared with him, what am I?
After a while, Jordan fell into deep doubts about himself.
