Chapter 81 Absolute Trust
So Li Du asked Preti to make an appointment with Tarantino. He has time these days, so everyone can have a good chat.The reason why Priti contacted Tarantino was not because Li Du was putting on airs, but because Li Du hoped that Priti would get in touch with these great directors more so as to facilitate her future development.

Pelinka arrived as Preti and Tarantino spoke on the phone.

Li Du opened the door, and Pelinka sat down on the sofa, picked up the tea in front of him, and was about to drink it.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Li Du snatched the teacup and said with a smile, "Robert, Preti gave me this cup of tea. If you want to drink tea, get it yourself!"

Up to now, Li Du and Pelinka are very familiar with each other. They are not like clients and brokers, but more like old friends for many years, and they speak very casually.Pelinka kept his hands on his lips, looked at the teacup Li Du had snatched, and scolded with a smile: "You boy, you value sex over friends! Okay, make it yourself, and you will beg me later!"

With that said, Pelinka stood up and went to the kitchen to make a cup of tea by himself.He himself, like most Americans, originally liked to drink coffee, but Li Du only had tea here. After a long time, Pelinka also got used to it.

Sitting down with a cup of tea, Pelinka didn't talk about the business, but chatted, and asked, "Li, where's Priti? Didn't you just say she was at home?"

Li Du took a sip of tea, pointed to the back room with a smile, "She is chatting with Tarantino, that guy wants me to direct the action design of his movie "Kill Bill 3", I asked Pu Riddy made an appointment with him."

"Haha, you really are a guy who values ​​sex and despises friends!" Pelinka smiled and pointed at Li Du, "When others ask you for something, let Priti get in touch with these people more. The attitude will be very humble, and Priti can get to know these great directors more! You, you can think of all good things for Priti!"

"I'm afraid you have to discuss the good things here with Priti!" Pelinka laughed loudly, took out a thick stack of documents from the briefcase he was carrying, and called Li Du over. , "Li, let's take a look. This is the contract of some companies that I want to sign with you and let you represent them. I'm here to discuss this matter with you today!"

"An endorsement contract?" Li Du curled his lips and sat next to Pelinka. He didn't look at the contract, but asked, "Robert, I'm a rookie. Signing these contracts now doesn't cost much, right?"

Pelinka gave Li Du a thumbs up, "That's right, you haven't been carried away! In fact, during the period when you just shined in the league, there were more companies that wanted to sign with you. , That's it. But later, as you were not so good, many companies quit, and these few companies have never quit! And the prices are not bad, and they each have their own advantages, so I will give it to you. Look, let's discuss what is best."

"Well, it turns out that's the case." Li Du nodded. He never read the contract. First, he had absolute trust in Pelinka. Second, he really didn't understand these things. Look, let Pelinka feel his trust!

Pelinka saw that Li Du was just chatting with him, but did not pick up any contract to read at all, so he pointed to the contract on the table and said, "Li, take a look, what do you think is Better."

Li Du shook his head and said, "Come and tell me about the situation. These should be relatively good in your mind. I believe in your vision!"

Pelinka smiled and said, "You guy, aren't you afraid that I'll trick you?"

"I don't doubt the employment, but I don't need the suspect!" Li Du responded with a smile: "You are my manager, even if you don't trust me, who else can I trust! Do you think so!"

Pelinka froze for a moment, and then burst out laughing. He felt Li Du's sincerity and trust, and he was very happy to deal with such a person.

In fact, this is the most different place between Eastern culture and Western culture!Westerners believe that human nature is inherently evil. Everyone has committed a crime since he was born, and he is already a sinner. This sin is called "original sin", and everyone has it!Therefore, as long as it is a human being, it is necessary to use a contract to restrain and prevent it.

The Eastern civilization, or the Chinese civilization to be precise, is "human beings are inherently good", and we believe that "everyone can be Yao and Shun".Therefore, people need education, and sincerity and trust are needed between people.

Of these two statements, which is more correct and which is better in interpersonal communication, I am afraid there will never be an accurate answer.But Li Du did this, in Pelinka's heart, he had absolute trust in himself!In a social environment where everyone needs to use contracts and contracts to restrain each other, suddenly there is such a person who completely trusts him, Pelinka's heart is full of indescribable happiness!
Therefore, Pelinka introduced to Li Du: "The highest asking price is now Reebok, which is 3 million US dollars in 800 years. The prices offered by Nike and Adidas are similar. Nike is 5 million US dollars in 1000 years, and Adidas is 3 million in 600 years. Dollar."

Li Du's heart moved, and he asked, "Are there any Chinese brands?"

Pelinka smiled slightly, "I knew you would ask this question! There are two Chinese brands, one is Li Ning, which gave 3 million U.S. dollars in 400 years. The other is Peak, which gave 3 million U.S. dollars in 350 years. Their The quotation is much lower than the above three companies!"

Li Du really wanted to choose a domestic brand in his heart, but the most important thing for him now was to raise enough medical expenses for his brother!Although the Lakers management said that they will help Li Du make up for it, there is no news so far!Besides, besides helping his brother to pay for the treatment, he also shoulders his master's and his own dream of "continuing to learn for the sake of the sage".The money needed for all this is astronomical!

Li Du thought for a long time before he said helplessly: "Well, we are really short of money now, so we can choose among Reebok, Nike and Adidas."

Pelinka shook his head and said: "No, we only choose between Nike and Adidas!"

"Oh?" Li Du didn't understand what Pelinka meant, and asked, "Why didn't you consider Reebok? Didn't you say that Reebok offered the highest price?"

Pelinka smiled and said: "Li, you don't pay attention to commercial information. Reebok wants to sign you, there is an important reason, that is, they already have Yao Ming, if they sign you again, the two Chinese who play in the NBA Under their banner, Reebok's market share in China will be greatly improved."

Li Du nodded. If he and Yao Ming were both under Reebok's banner, plus Allen Iverson, who is also very popular in China, their market share in China would indeed increase a lot.

Pelinka went on to analyze: "But Reebok has a fatal problem. Due to business problems, they are likely to be acquired by Adidas soon! It is even possible to be acquired tomorrow! If you sign them, I will speak for you later. Other brands, have some very bad influences."

"Nike is different from Adidas. They are the No. [-] and No. [-] sports brand companies in the world. We will never have to worry about them being acquired!"

Pelinka's analysis made Li Du nod frequently. Pelinka is worthy of being a brilliant agent and a business expert. His business news and vision are not comparable to Li Du.
