Chapter 516 New sneakers, new contract

It wasn't until July that Emma Watson's movie promotion came to an end. When the movie promotion ended, she thought of getting the gift she should get as soon as possible.

An Sheng was very helpless for this girlfriend who rushed back and asked for a gift before she had time to give him a hug.Looking at the best defensive player trophy on the desk, I worked hard for a season with myself, and in the end it was only you and me for company.

Xiao Biesheng is newly married, and both of them have great enthusiasm for this meeting. At this time, An Sheng has to be said to be a hero who has fallen into tenderness, but no media can blame him.Double MVP and championship, An Sheng has at least one summer of immunity. In this summer, let alone falling into a gentle hometown and not training, as long as An Sheng does not do anything harmful, it will be a problem in the eyes of Los Angeles Clippers fans. No.

It's still Leon Rose, who ran over to disturb Anson when Anson and Emma Watson were having sex. After all, on the other side, Kevin Plank was about to jump in a hurry, and he was almost ready to drive directly. Come to Los Angeles to find Anson.It has been more than ten days since the championship parade that An Sheng said, but An Sheng did not give a letter of approval at all. Kevin Plank even wondered if An Sheng had already found a next home during this period of time. Ready to break the contract and leave.

"Kevin, take it easy! I'm more curious about my next pair of signature shoes than our contract renewal in advance!" An Sheng said to Kevin Plank while drinking tea.

The meeting this time was at An Sheng's home. As the host, An Sheng personally made a cup of tea for Kevin Plank, but the CEO of Under Armour, who was in front of him, was not in a good mood to enjoy this cup of tea. Said: "The signature shoes have already been designed! This time our designers still borrowed Chinese elements, and the red and black color schemes are also the main focus this time! The difference from the Phantom Knight is that the content this time will be a little simpler. .”

The last pair of Phantom Knights was very popular in the Chinese market and sold directly, but because of the Chinese dragon logo.Although the US market has been looking forward to Anson's first pair of signature sneakers for a long time, the sales in the US market are mediocre.And this time, Kevin Plank naturally wants to grab both hands!This time not only in China, but also in the US market.

Kevin Plank has no doubts about the dominance of Anson's signature shoes in the Chinese market. Whether it is LeBron James or Kobe Bryant, these superstars who already have a huge fan base in China will all come to China. There is no comparison with Ansheng.All this time, the design of the sneakers has a more sense of space and future. It is more concise and does not have the logo of the Chinese dragon!

An Sheng has no objection to this point. What he wants to know more is the sense of technology of this pair of shoes, and what effect it can have on the protection of his own feet. This is more important.So his request is simple, he needs to test this pair of shoes before he can determine whether to launch this pair of signature shoes.

Kevin Plank is very supportive of this, but the question for them now is whether they need to sign a new contract with higher returns, longer years and higher liquidated damages.

In the past few days, both Nike and Adidas have begun to contact Leon Ross. The liquidated damages of 5000 million US dollars is not a big problem for them. Nike and Adidas all said that as long as Anson can come to their flag, Then this liquidated damages can be done by them, especially Adidas, which lacks a leading figure in their basketball endorsements.

The pursuit of Anson by these top brands made Kevin Plank feel threatened, a huge threat, and he must discuss this matter today, which is his biggest purpose for coming here today.That is to negotiate the next contract!
"Ann! You know, it's not that I don't believe in you. I have to be responsible for my company. The directors are very skeptical about whether you can stay in Under Armour. I believe you will definitely stay. "Kevin Plank's remarks are very artistic. He first put forward his absolute trust in Anson, and then said that the biggest reason why he wanted to re-sign the contract with Anson was the pressure from the company, and It's not that I want to do this.

Anson may not be able to react immediately, but there is Leon Ross next to him, how could Anson fall into these "false" propaganda from Kevin Plank.

"If I remember correctly, Kevin, you should have the absolute right to speak in Under Armor. At least for now, not many people can question your decision."

Leon Rose's intervention made Anson inexplicably relieved. Maybe letting him persuade LeBron James to join the Clippers may be more than how to sincerely ask for a continued cooperation with a business partner who has been with him for a long time. It's harder to bargain when cooperation is great.

"If I lose Ann, then I will definitely suffer more doubts."

"So, my dear Kevin, are you ready to write us a check we can hardly refuse?"

A passage from Leon Rose made Kevin Plank smile bitterly for an instant. It seemed that An Sheng had no intention of leaving Under Armour, but his eagerness made Leon Rose seem to have found the reason for the lion to open his mouth. Opportunity, but even though he knew it was so, he couldn't refuse it at all.

The new contract was signed very quickly. The previous 5-year contract of 4 million US dollars was canceled and the remaining 3 years were extended to 6 years of 1.2 million US dollars in an instant.Moreover, the share of signature shoes has also risen from 2.5% to 5%, but the liquidated damages have also risen to 10 billion in an instant.This liquidated damages almost cut off the possibility of An Sheng leaving Under Armour.

It's just that Kevin Plank is still dissatisfied with the length of the 6-year term, but there is no way. This is Leon Rose's insistence. This will happen to be the first year of Anson's second major professional contract. Has his own calculations.An Sheng, on the other hand, watched the wonderful confrontation between the two old foxes dumbfounded, and said that he paid so much money to sign Leon Rose.
