Chapter 235 Sneaker Contracts and Transactions

The Olympic Games came to an end, and Zhang Tian scored another championship and the best player. His sneaker contract was finally put on the agenda.

Yao Ming chose to sign a contract with Peak. This domestic brand also wanted to sign Zhang Tian, ​​but Zhang Tian’s request made them discouraged. Not only Peak, Li Ning, Anta and other domestic brands have all withdrawn. Zhang Tian The price tag is too high, they can't afford it.

Nike and Adidas also began to hesitate at this time. 2000 million US dollars a year can be negotiated. After all, Zhang Tian’s commercial value lies there, but in addition to this, he also needs shares. This is a bit difficult for the two sports giants. Accepted.

Nike and Adidas are still arguing, because Nike is a local aborigine, and it has a relationship with an old hooligan like Jordan, which makes more than half of the NBA players belong to them. Adidas can only drink soup, sometimes You can't even drink soup. For example, in the competition for James, a talented high school student, Nike has already vaguely gained the upper hand, although it will not sign a contract now.

"Rich, Zhang, can you change your request? The signing fee of 500 million a year is also a problem, but this share is really not good."

Nike still doesn't want to let go of Zhang Tian's fat. The current Zhang Tian can be said to be an old hooligan. He won Hill, Penny, Carter, Iverson, O'Neal and many other talents, but none of these people had a championship, and they didn't have any honors. Zhang Tian made his debut for one season, the finals MVP and the Olympic gold medal Need to explain something, this is a golden baby, whoever grasps him will be able to rule the future Asian sneaker market.

"That's my request. If you don't agree, there is no need to continue the discussion."

Zhang Tian knew very well that it was impossible for giants like Nike and Adidas to be inferior to him, so he proposed this condition to let them retreat.

After the exit of Nike and Adidas, there are still a few sneaker brands left, Puma, Converse, Fila, Reebok.

"Zhang, we can give you your share request, but 5.00% is too high." Reebok's spokesperson spoke. They currently have Iverson under their banner, but Iverson is obviously not comparable in popularity now. Zhang Tian is a newcomer to the top.

So Reebok has the idea of ​​changing the new prince, and Fila thinks so too. They have Grant Hill under their banner, but Hill has gone to Orlando to be Duncan's younger brother. It is conceivable that his future business The value is definitely not too high.

"At least 5.00%, if you don't agree, then there is no need to continue the discussion." Zhang Tian's attitude has not changed much. It is really impossible to buy a sneaker factory by himself like Ma Long and become the owner.

The director of Reebok could only shake his head and leave. Now only the executives of Fila and Converse are left in the room. These two should be the two most sincere to Zhang Tian, ​​and also the two most eager for Zhang Tian. It is eager to open up the market in North America, and the family wants to regain its former glory.

Zhang Tian's conditions have not changed. The annual salary of the contract must be at least 2000 million, and the shares cannot be lower than 5.00%.If this condition is placed around 2020, it will not be a big deal, but this is just entering the new century. Zhang Tian is completely like a lion opening his mouth, and he is really not afraid of flashing his tongue.

The two brands got into a tangle, they didn't reply to Zhang Tian immediately, and Zhang Tian came to Vancouver to find a house, but still rented the house, because Zhang Tian wasn't sure how long he would play here.

In fact, most of the players of the Grizzlies chose to rent houses. The villa rented by Zhang Tian is next to Yao Ming's house, and it is not far from Eddie Jones and Raheem's house.

Zhang Tian met with the team's high-level executives. Griffith and the logo man welcomed Zhang Tian. The head coach Sidney Rowe was next to him and turned into a soy sauce, looking awkward.

At present, many people in the Grizzlies are either traded by the logo man or purged, so they are completely two teams from last season.

At present, the logoman signed Udoka with a non-guaranteed contract.He played well in summer league on behalf of the Grizzlies.So the general manager of the Grizzlies did not give up the opponent at the end of the summer split.

The current lineup of the Grizzlies is almost established. The starters for the new season should be Mike Bibby, Eddie Jones, Zhang Tian, ​​Raheem and Yao Ming. The old Curry, the freely signed Damon Jones, the lineup looks pretty good, and the starting lineup is very powerful.

But this substitute is really bad. Zhang Tian dare not think about resting on the bench in the new season.The scene where the teammates were raped appeared.

The logo man also knew this, so he continued to trade with the Magic, using Michael Dixon, who averaged 18.2 points per game last season, in exchange for Corey Maggette from the Magic.

The salaries of the two people are about the same, but there is too much difference in the statistics. The man with the logo looks like he is jumping off a building for a big sale, and the general manager of the Magic is really fooled. Of course, there is a little tidbit in the reason why Maggette was traded, that is Trish, one of the "Big Three", didn't like this rookie from Los Angeles.

As for Tracy's weird and withdrawn personality, there is no need to go into details. None of the four major shooting guards has a normal personality. Just lose it.

Maggette naturally doesn't dump McGrady, he thinks this cousin Carter is very good at pretending, obviously he has no stats or honors, but every day he puts on the attitude that I am the best in the world and you are all rubbish.

And Mike Dixon, David Wesley's cousin, is not as sharp in character as Maggette. Of course, the latter's personality is actually quite normal, but Tracy doesn't like it.Tracy has not moved such a big moth at the beginning of the season, and some magic in the new season has been played.

After Maggette came, the bench can be seen a little bit, but it is still a bit worse than the gorgeous bench of the Pacers last season, but it is already considered good.

Before the start of the preseason, Zhang Tian finally finalized the sneaker contract. The Italian quality Fila successfully defeated Converse. They gave Zhang Tian 2% of the shares, so Zhang Tian chose to sign with them. As for Are sneakers not selected for local influence awards?That's all nonsense. If your data is so explosive that No. [-] can't keep up, even if you play in slippers, then Godfather will give you this award.
