Chapter 115 "Trader Joe's" Plan
"Great Michael, I never thought you were a dishonest guy, but now, I think you need to give a response!"

The preseason is over, and the next step is the opener of the regular season.

The troublemaker Barkley once again mentioned his bet with Michael Jordan.

The local media in Phoenix, which has a good heart with him, also broadcast a lot of this matter in the first place.

No doubt they wanted to see Michael Jordan cheering Lin Day on the sidelines in a Lin Day jersey.

Especially in the current situation.

In the 6 preseason games, Lin Ri's average per game is close to 23 plus 13 if rounded. In addition, the Suns played the Clippers in the first game of the preseason against the Clippers, which had more than 20 points.

In this way, they are naturally happy to create momentum for Lin Ri's opening match!
Is there anyone more suitable for building momentum than Michael Jordan?

Phoenix fans have no respect for Michael Jordan, who ruined Barkley's only trip to the Finals with the Suns?

Now, old boy, are you finally in our hands?
The whole of Phoenix is ​​waiting for Michael Jordan to respond.

What they didn't expect was that Michael Jordan's answer was very straightforward: "Of course, I would accept the bet. I look forward to the start of the opening game. I will appear on the sidelines on time to cheer for the sun!"

This reaction surprised Barkley and surprised the Phoenix media.

But something even more unexpected happened half an hour later.

Michael Jordan directly tweeted: "I like this guy very much. I see infinite possibilities from him. I am his fan. There is nothing much to say about this. I will appear on the sidelines and I will enjoy everything when the time comes!"

Listen to me, cheering on the sun in a jersey is not something that would embarrass him at all...

"Eh..." Barkley was dull for a while.

However, Michael Jordan's attitude made them a little surprised. The local media in Phoenix who should use this to create momentum all published articles for Lin Ri in the first place.

"How, now?"

"The media in Phoenix are all discussing this matter, and now many big media have also reported on this matter. It is estimated that it only took one night. I think the whole of America will know that you are going to watch the news of the Sun playing live."

"OK, are the contracts ready? There are also follow-up media arrangements, let's complete a perfect publicity!"

"Yes, boss!"

Michael Jordan was also listening to his assistant telling him about the outside situation. When he heard that "Michael Jordan is about to go to Phoenix and cheer for the sun" was hotly discussed in the United States, instead of showing any anger, he showed a more confident expression.

Michael Jordan intends to do big things!
He intends to sign Lin Ri as AJ's spokesperson.

This is not his impulsive thought, but the decision of the entire team after research.

Then Michael Jordan had this plan...

Sign the sun before the opening game, and then announce the news after the sun's "fans" at home that night.

In this way, the enthusiasm caused by him being a "the sun fan" will become a publicity boost for him to sign Lin Ri and become AJ's endorsement!
Then cooperate with the publicity channels he arranged.

It can definitely create momentum for the subsequent launch of Lin Ri's signature shoes!

That's why he suddenly agreed so readily.

Hmph, the brain of "Trade Joe" is something that a little Buckley like you can beat?
Michael Jordan could already imagine Barkley's embarrassment after seeing his whole plan succeed. He sat in the car heading to the airport with a burst of joy, and lit the cigar in his hand that symbolized victory.

three hours later.

Lin Ri, who had just finished talking to James Harden and listening to his complaints, received a text message from Chris.

—Man, AJ's representatives just called me up and they want to see you and talk to you about endorsement AJ.do we promise

Endorsing AJ?

In this text message, Lin Ri first saw these four words.

No way, who told this to be AJ?
Michael Jordan can't help it?

AJ is an independent brand under Nike. The man behind this brand is none other than the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan.

All matters of this brand are decided by him alone.

AJ wanted to sign him, but Michael Jordan wanted to sign him.

Is it that easy?

"CIC King" Hamilton once wanted to join AJ, but was rejected by Michael Jordan.

"Let's discuss this topic again after you become an All-Star, kid!"

This was Michael Jordan's answer to Hamilton at the time.

It can be seen that it is not a simple matter for Michael Jordan to nod and agree to join AJ.

Lin Ri really didn't expect that this boss would fall in love with him if he didn't play a regular season game.

How do I feel about it... I'm a little proud~
——Then let’s meet.

Lin Ri texted Chris back.

No one can refuse the temptation of AJ.

So, 10 hours later, at 10:[-] am on the day of the NBA opening game, Lin Ri, accompanied by Chris, met AJ's representative in the coffee shop.

But when Lin Ri saw the so-called representative, he was a little taken aback, because the representative was actually Michael Jordan.

Michael Jordan saw Lin Ri's surprise, and said, "Dude, there's nothing to be surprised about, we'll meet again tomorrow night!"

Lin Ri nodded, that's true.

He also just accidentally saw Michael Jordan here.

Not that it was a surprise to see Michael Jordan.

He takes me seriously.

The end of the story that Lin Ri knew - when Hamilton really became an All-Star and was signed, Michael Jordan didn't even show his face, but Hamilton still obediently signed the endorsement contract.

This is Michael Jordan's status in the NBA.

Truly an icon of a generation.

No, it should be said to be the belief of a generation.

No way, this is a country with a strong heroic complex.

Lin Ri is not a fan of Michael Jordan, and it is difficult for him to become a fan of Michael Jordan, because when he started watching the game, Michael Jordan had won two three consecutive championships and then retired.

Few fans regard "Wizard Joe" as their idol.

At that time, it was more normal to like the "Big Four Shooting Guards" and the "Big Sharks".

But Lin Ri is an exception. He doesn't have any favorite stars, which makes every star he has seen so far not excited.

Now, including meeting Michael Jordan, it's the same.

This also made Michael Jordan inexplicably panicked.

He had met too many juniors before, and when they saw him, there was always a "fire" in their eyes, which was the fire of longing.

But there was no "that fire" in Lin Ri's eyes.

It's as if he, Michael Jordan, is no different from the middle-aged uncle who drives a truck next door.

Times have really changed!
Such a thought suddenly popped up in Michael Jordan's mind.

He, Michael Jordan, the "God of Basketball", No. 1 in NBA history, is slowly being forgotten...

"OK buddy, let's get down to business."

But Michael Jordan quickly cleared up his mood.

He didn't come to see Lin Ri today to drink tea and chat.

He didn't make any detours, and directly expressed his sincerity. Originally, he planned to play the "sensational card", but after he found out that Lin Ri had no "fire" in his eyes, he gave up such an idea. Instead of saying so much nonsense that disgusted Lin Ri, he might as well make an offer directly: "Dude, I plan to sign with you with a five-year contract of 5 million yuan!"

This price is the price given by the Michael Jordan team after consideration.

姚明03年跟锐步签下的合同数额为7年5000万，折算成一年大概是715万左右；07年德怀特霍华德跟阿迪达斯续签的合同数额是6年3600万，折合一年为600万；克里斯波什当初签下的是4年4000万的合同，折算成一年为1000万……

This is a player with a relatively high signing price among inside players in recent years.

It can be seen that inside players are really unpopular in the sneaker market.

Chris Bosh is the only inside player with an annual salary of over [-] million in recent years. This is because his style of play is small forward.

Of course, it has to be said that Yao Ming received more than [-] million offers, but they rejected them.

So if you really want to say, Yao Ming should be the best market among inside players, and the annual salary of the sneaker contract should exceed 1500 million.

But there are more bonuses from the Huaxia market...

Taking these factors into consideration, the final contract given by Michael Jordan is 5 million for 7000 years, which is 1400 million a year if converted into an annual salary.

Compared with the Nike contract that was rejected by Yao Ming, although it was still cheaper by about 300 million a year, the problem was that Yao Ming had already played in this league for a year at that time...not just him, Chris Bosh and Howard also had the same two contracts, both of which were obtained after playing in the league for one or more seasons.

At present, Lin Ri hasn't even played an NBA regular season yet!

Jordan is willing to give 1400 million a year, which is full of sincerity in terms of the market background.

Even Lin Ri didn't expect that he could get such a big sneaker contract now.

It's really sincere!
Lin Ri murmured something silently in his heart, while subconsciously nodding his head slightly.

He recognized Michael Jordan's sincerity.

This action of his also fell into the eyes of Michael Jordan.

Michael Jordan, who was "blocked" by Lin Ri, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This should work!
"Sorry, Mr. Michael Jordan, I can't give my answer yet, I need to think about it again, you know, if such a big matter is answered in 30 minutes, it will seem very hasty..."

However, to Michael Jordan's regret, Lin Ri, who gave the reaction he hoped for after hearing the offer, did not directly agree to sign the contract.

Although Michael Jordan was a little surprised by this result, he still nodded calmly, trying to pretend to be considerate: "Of course, of course, this really needs to be carefully considered."
