Chapter 118 Signature Boots
My Neighbor Totoro came to the designated place that Bujayi told him. The Toyota Center is a multi-functional arena. In addition to being used as a arena, it is also a multi-functional entertainment plaza with Internet cafes, nightclubs, KTV, and gymnasiums. There are all kinds of swimming pools, and there are many high-end restaurants. Totoro said that although he has been playing at the Toyota Center for almost a month, he really hasn't visited this huge arena.

"HI, My Neighbor Totoro is here!"

As soon as he entered the door of the hotel, Bugay saw his huge figure immediately. The beauty agent stood up and greeted Totoro enthusiastically, like a girlfriend in love who was as excited as seeing her boyfriend.

My Neighbor Totoro looked awkwardly at the strange eyes from other customers around me. The French restaurant is a high-end western restaurant in a regular store. Normally, no one would make any noise when eating. Are you really not afraid of being kicked out like this? ?
And more importantly, her voice attracted the attention of others. She is not an unknown person in Houston now. It is estimated that some lace magazines will publish news materials the next day.

"Hello, I'm Bill Farb, the head of Nike's Texas Division. You played a great game today. You have proved to the world that you have the potential to be one of the best players in the league. .”

The man with glasses stood up and shook hands with Totoro, and praised him a few words, hoping to leave a good impression on him.

"Hi, my name is Totoro, a teammate of the Houston Rockets."

But Totoro's reaction was much colder. As the saying goes, if you are talking about business, don't talk about feelings. If the other party comes up and treats you politely, there must be a conspiracy in it. He thought that someone as smart as himself would not be fooled.

"Well, it's like this. Our company sincerely wants to sign a contract with you. Although you rejected the first offer, we also understand that the offer does not match your worth, so we have prepared a second offer this time. I hope You can take a look."

Bill smiled embarrassingly. From the performance of the other party, it can be seen that although the other party looks young from the face, the city and appetite in his heart are not small at all. It is estimated that this contract of mine is likely to be rejected again. The kind that the other party sweeps into the trash.

But the man with glasses is still going to give it a try. This is 4000 million US dollars, which is also an astronomical figure. Many Americans probably won’t see so much money in their lifetime. manage?
"Only 800 million a year? Excuse me, can I ask you a question?"

My Neighbor Totoro carefully read all the 6 pages of the proposed contract while drinking coffee.

"Yes, you can ask."

"Which one is more handsome, me or LeBron James of the Cavaliers?"

"what?"

Bill was dumbfounded when he heard this question. He was unprepared for this question, but according to his aesthetic point of view as a white man, he must think that Totoro is more handsome.

"Then which rookie season was better between me and LeBron James?"

大猩猩第一年就在骑士打出了20.9分、5.9次助攻和5.5个篮板球，帮助上个赛季只获得17场胜利的骑士战绩提高到35胜47负，可勒布朗的持球率也是高的可怕。

However, the Rockets, where Totoro belongs, still can't see any improvement in the record, but he has played 19+7+6 in more than ten games, and he averaged only 15.4 shots per game, which is undoubtedly better than LeBron. The data is more valuable.

"Which one is younger, me or LeBron James?"

The elite manager of Nike no longer knows what to say. Now he has discovered what a mountain is higher than a mountain. When Bugay communicated with him, he could argue a few words, but it was Totoro's turn He shot, but he found that he didn't even have a chance to answer.

"Well, as far as your current performance is concerned, you have advantages over the little emperor in all aspects, but after all, Mr. LeBron became famous in high school, and his popularity was known throughout the United States at that time, so..."

"Are you talking about influence with me? It's true that I was unknown in high school, but how many of you American old people and children are there together? 3 million is the sky?"

The corners of Totoro’s mouth curled up slightly, “But do you know how many people are there in China? How many people are there in Asia? I advise you to investigate my current influence in Asia before coming to negotiate a contract with me. All the popularity can sign for 7 years and 9300 million US dollars, but I only have 5 years and 4000 million US dollars?"

Well, Bill felt that he was about to lose the battle. What the other party said was well-founded, and he almost made himself feel that this not-so-small contract was an insult to him.

Bill heard what this man meant, and he wanted to copy LeBron's sky-high contract, but the actual problem is that it is impossible for them Nike to give him such a huge contract.

This is not really looking down on Totoro, thinking that he is not as good as LeBron, but because they have too many stars under Nike.

Leaving aside the old hooligan Jordan, Kobe, James, Durant, Chris Paul, Stoudemire, O'Neal, Pierce, and Nash are all their stars. They make a lot of money every year, but they also invest a lot, so Either the Totoro can win the NBA championship this year, or they won't be fighting so hard.

"Well, I understand what you mean. I need to report what you mean to the higher-ups. Maybe we can meet again in a few days."

When Bill saw that the negotiation could not go on, he was about to leave, but at this time Totoro reached out and stopped the other party.

"Is there still play?"

Bill was overjoyed all of a sudden, did the other party change his mind?Everything in front was just pretending to fool me?
"I definitely can't accept this contract, but I don't necessarily want the amount of James's contract back then. I can sacrifice a little on the money. However, I need a series of sneakers named after my name or nickname. I To have my own signature exclusive boots, I must get a share of the sneakers, if you agree to this, we can negotiate the amount of the contract.”

Totoro's words made Bill stagger in fright, and almost didn't perform a flat fall live.

Signature boots are sneakers specially designed and customized for a player. Players can add personal brand, name or hobbies and other factors in the design process, and they are produced on an exclusive production line. So many stars under Nike Now only Kobe and James enjoy this treatment. One of your rookies wants to sign boots, so the appetite is too big, right?
