Chapter 479 Huge Commercial Value

The 2012 free agent market is about to open, and there are many big-name free agents this year, such as Warcraft, Nash, Deron, etc. Their choices in this offseason are likely to affect the structure of the league.

Xie Kai has already renewed his contract with the team in advance, so he is not considered a free agent.And his good friend Jeremy Lin will become a restricted free agent, and the home team Knicks can match the offers made by other teams.

Of course, the Grizzlies also need signings, but their salary space is simply not enough to support them to introduce these big-name free agents.So unless the deal frees up salary space, it is basically impossible for Chinese fans to see Xie Kai teaming up with Jeremy Lin in the Grizzlies.

On July 7, the 1 NBA free agent market officially opened. NBA teams began to recruit for the new season and build their ideal teams.

On the same day, Zhou Jing, as Xie Kai's assistant, helped Xie Kai sign her first commercial endorsement in her career with the help of agent Thaddeus Faucher.

The endorsement is the domestic beverage giant Wahaha Group, and the endorsement contract is 5 million yuan for 2000 years.If it was when he first entered the league, Xie Kai would not be able to sign such an endorsement anyway, but now it is different. He is a basketball superstar and is still on the rise. No matter in terms of strength, popularity or prospects, he is a domestic basketball player. No.1.

So this cooperation with Wahaha, this endorsement contract is the longest and largest endorsement contract he has signed with a domestic business so far.And Xie Kai believes that this is just the beginning of his business empire.

In the future, I will get more endorsements, and I don't have to rush to sign some endorsements that may damage my image for the sake of immediate benefits.

After BJ met with Wahaha Group's signing representatives and signed his name on the contract documents, Xie Kai officially became Wahaha's image spokesperson.

Zhou Jing also felt a sense of accomplishment. Although she didn't play a particularly big role in the signing process, she felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment because she helped Xie Kai and the man she loved the most.

In the process of contacting various companies in China who are interested in Xie Kai’s endorsement, Zhou Jing was amazed that Xie Kai’s popularity in China was extremely high. His good image and high popularity made him a leader among sports stars , has been favored by many businesses.

Thinking of Xie Kai's commercial value, Zhou Jing also lamented that she was really lucky, that such a star would fall in love with her.She really realized how good he is, how rich he is, how many young models and little stars want to list him.If he wants to find a beautiful girl, it's really a matter of minutes.

For Xie Kai who is in the imperial capital, not only domestic businesses want to contact him to sign a contract, but Nike has arranged a working group to lurk here specifically to discuss contract renewal with him.

To use Thaddeus Faucher's advice, don't rush to meet with the Nike guys, let them know that we must have you.This is a business routine, a means to put yourself in a favorable position.Of course, the premise of this is that the other party wants to sign a contract with you very much, otherwise this is a slap in the face.

Nike really wants to sign Xie Kai very much. Although they have a large number of big names under their banner, they don't want Xie Kai to go to their rival Adidas.Xie Kai's business value is not ordinary. As the No.1 in Asia, the market behind him is the global Chinese market. Just think about the number of yellow people in the world.

Even leaving aside the yellow race market, with Xie Kai's ability and potential, he is also an important figure that all the giants want to compete for.He is not yet 24 years old, he is already a first-team player in the league, he was the NBA scoring leader last season, he is an All-Star starter, and he is the core of the Grizzlies.

If anyone predicts that Xie Kai will win the regular season MVP in the future, it is estimated that apart from Barkley and other experts who don't like him, or those sunspots, not many people will have objections.

If Nike can't win such a player, it will be their biggest mistake in recent years.

Nike does not allow such mistakes to exist!

In the United States, Gay has been put on the shelf by the Grizzlies for some time, but not many teams are asking.In fact, this is not difficult to understand. With so many outstanding players in the free agent market, few teams would think about trading him.After all, his contract is so big, and his ability is not enough to make a mid-lower team take off immediately.

Therefore, Gay should be a plan B or even a plan C for those who want to strengthen the team. No one will regard him as a plan A, even for those teams with weak bodies.

No way, you Guy is not James, nor Howard, no one will think that you can compete for the championship around you.

On July 7, the Grizzlies' first signing of the summer appeared.According to local media reports in Memphis, the Grizzlies have reached an extension agreement with the team's restricted free agent Marris Speights. The Grizzlies will provide Speights with a two-year contract with a total value of approximately 7-700 million. dollar contract.

The salary for the first year is approximately $380 million, and the second year of this contract is a team option.

Speights was traded to the Grizzlies last season. As a substitute for the Black Bears, he still played some roles.But as the starting power forward, his ability is still insufficient.He has shooting ability, but is unstable, the defensive end moves too slowly, is easy to be broken, and the protection of the frame is not satisfactory.Fortunately, there are white bears inside the team, so all this does not seem to be too fatal.

Speights was traded, so although the Grizzlies have no salary space now, they can renew their contract because they have his bird rights.

Speights contract extension, the most influential natural is the team's other power forward Darrell Arthur.Arthur was a contract year last season and was reimbursed for the injured season.So this affects his contract extension very much. Even if the team finally keeps him, it is likely to be a basic salary or something.

But if you don't stay in the Grizzlies, with Arthur's unknown state, it is estimated that it will be difficult for other teams to poach him with a contract higher than the middle class.

But Arthur also has his own advantages. He is the most flexible of these insiders in the Grizzlies.And he has such a good relationship with Xie Kai, the core of the team. In order to please Xie Kai, the team left him with a short contract to give him a chance to try again.

In China, on the afternoon of July 7, the inaugural meeting of the Chinese sports delegation for the 10 London Olympic Games was held in BJ.The 2012 rosters for the Chinese men's basketball team to compete in the London Olympics were also released.

The players selected for this big list are: Xie Kai, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, Zhang Zhaoxu, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue, Zhou Peng, Ding Jinhui, Yi Li, Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng, Chen Jianghua.
