New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 167 Getting the contract done
Once the training resumes, the time of winter vacation will pass quickly.The Bruins are not inviting any teams to play friendly games.

For this sudden emergence of a dark horse, all the strong teams in the NCAA can't avoid it.

Even for the Tigers and Blue Devils, which had played against each other before, the two head coaches hung up politely when they received Wacker's call.

Of course, they are not afraid of the Bruins.It's just that I don't want to expose my bottom line now.

While training, Zhang Yi participated in a variety show for high school basketball students across the United States.

Different from other contestants, Zhang Yi has an idol halo after all, so the whole show seems to revolve around him.

In addition to him, the Bruins also have Wally and Robert, A Fei from the Wildcats, Genji from the Tigers, and more than a dozen freshman rookies are all concentrated in Los Angeles.

Not only Wacker cares about the exposure of his disciples, every player here comes with the expectation of the head coach.

Although Zhang Yi's success cannot be replicated, everyone also tried their best to make their team out of an influential college star.

The NCAA league is also moving towards a more commercial model.Coupled with their in-depth cooperation with James' KING company, the value of college players has attracted more attention.

During this holiday season, Zhang Yi has received four offers for sneaker contracts, which forced him to find a manager.

Originally, Shengzi volunteered, after all, he still has some experience in dealing with business affairs.

Moreover, if Zhang Yi wants to start his own basketball circle, the people around him must be trustworthy guys.

However, his status as an intern assistant for the Super League game made him unable to attend the negotiation for Zhang Yi, so he had to find someone else.

The amount of these four contracts is not small, and among college basketball players, it is second only to Varanda, who is determined to enter the NBA next year.

Zhang Yi couldn't find a suitable agent, so he kept saying that he had no choice.

Even if he asked Wacker, the answer he got was similar to what Zhang Yi thought. We must be cautious about this matter.

It has little to do with the amount of the contract. The most important thing is that the signing of the contract itself involves camp issues.

This incident started when Jordan got involved in the Nike business and brought a star into the leadership.

The sneaker contract is the first hurdle for basketball rookies!
Zhang Yi is worrying, because the signing is also a part of the variety show.

If he does not complete this item, it is very likely that his place will be squeezed out by others.

Wally and Robert have both received newcomer contracts from Nike. Although the amount is not large, they are both flexible and short-term contracts with good development potential.

When Zhang Yi was worried, He Lan, a friend who had worked with the VBLY Alliance before, invited them out for dinner.

Holland has been in the basketball circle for many years, but he has learned a lot about economics in order to run the league.

To put it simply, for a veteran scout like Helante, he has a thorough understanding of the inside ways.

After asking him, Zhang Yi didn't think too much, and told Helante directly, "Are you willing to be my agent? This job should not delay your dealing with the affairs of the league."

If someone else made such a request, Helante might have to think about it. Although he is short of money, he really doesn't have much interest in things outside the alliance.

But Zhang Yi was kind to him after all, and even led the revival of VBLY at the most difficult time.

Holland immediately stretched out his big hand, "Don't worry, I will help you take care of the contract comfortably!"

The next day, Zhang Yi took him to participate in the quotations of several sports brands.

These brand managers were a little surprised by Holland's appearance. After all, this big guy is still very famous in the Los Angeles basketball circle.

While going to the bathroom, Zhang Yi couldn't help asking him, "What do you think?"

Holrant just shook his head and said, "The best is yet to come."

Basketball is Zhang Yi's strong point, but he is really not good at business negotiations.

After Nike raised the price a few times, he even thought it was okay, but Holland still shook his head.

The first official meeting fell through. "Are you in a hurry?" the big man Helante asked.

Zhang Yi suddenly imitated his appearance today, frowning and shaking his head.Instantly made both of them laugh.

"If it's just a matter of haste, I will be in a hurry, thank you." Zhang Yi raised his hand and the two punched each other in greeting.

"There will be a reply soon." Although four companies have thrown olive branches, in fact, there is one person behind them.

It stands to reason that Nike's final offer is already very reasonable, even surpassing the current NCAA No.1 'Blue Devil' Varanda's contract, but Helante knows that there should be a spoiler to join soon.

Today's sports brand, on the surface, is already dominated by Nike, but many companies standing in the research and development of new technologies are quickly eating away at this cake.

Holland thought that Nike was dead, and the moment they walked out of the Nike building, a phone call came to prove his point.

A luxurious smart car stopped in front of Zhang Yi and the two of them.When the window slid down, sitting in the car was Jason, the chief designer of KING's sports brand.

After the two got into the car, Jason took the lead and said, "Your negotiation was very exciting today, Helante, your ability is a bit beyond my expectation."

Jason is not only a talented designer, but also James' eldest son-in-law.In Los Angeles, his appearance can basically be equated with James himself.

"Thank you. It seems that there is no need to say more, let's go straight to the point." What Helante was waiting for was his appearance.

Although KING's performance was somewhat beyond his expectations, Zhang Yi has such value in him.

Zhang Yi looked at the two people's smiles, and thought that businessmen are really not easy to do.

The car didn't start because Zhang Yi was driving himself.A new type of fiery red sneaker was projected directly from Jason's hand.

"This is what I designed for you, Yi Generation sneakers, do you like it?"

This pair of shoes is really a surprise, especially Zhang Yi saw the characteristics of Uncle Long's first-generation dragon boots from its cross-section.

"This pair of shoes, plus the final offer from Nike! If you want, I have already drawn up the contract!"

A virtual contract immediately appeared in Jason's hand.He Lante studied it carefully and found that there was no problem. The most important thing is that the sincerity of KING's cooperation can be seen from this pair of sneakers.

"You should know who is the future!" Before Jason finished speaking, Zhang Yi immediately accepted the contract, "I'll sign it!"

He Lante didn't stop him either, but he didn't expect Zhang Yi to sign so resolutely at this time.

Whether it is a large contract or customized sneakers, it is not very attractive to Zhang Yi. This contract can be regarded as a reward for James.

"Haha, from today, we are partners!"

Jason laughed and even opened a bottle of champagne.And Hollander and Zhang Yi looked at each other, smiled and took the cup and drank it down!
