I really just want to strike

He knows how to plan his career. Take the "Meteor Slam Dunk" trick. In Knight's view, how can ordinary people have the brains to study this technology, and even give it such a cool name?
From yesterday to today, Knight has watched "Meteor Slam Dunk" hundreds of times, and I have to admit that this trick...
It's really cool.
As for whether it is a slam dunk?
Does that matter?
The important thing is that this is a trick, it is a signature!
When people mention "Meteor Slam Dunk" in the future, they will immediately think of Su Feng!
In Knight's opinion, such a player has brains, good looks, strength, and self-confidence. If he is not popular, who is popular?
The Chinese market, as long as it is an individual, can see it, but what Knight sees from Su Feng is not only the Chinese market?
So, after contemplating for nearly half an hour, Knight wrote a string of numbers on a tissue and handed it to Morris.
"Are you serious? Phil..." Looking at the string of numbers on the tissue, Morris was surprised.
"Don't you understand, William, what this kid wants is not money, but sincerity, because he wants a guarantee, a proof that we will support him." Knight said with a wry smile.
Morris nodded, "It's not too late, Phil, we have to act as soon as possible."
"I'll send someone to Philadelphia right away."
……
8 years... 4200 million.
When Bill Duffy handed a tissue in front of him written by the person responsible for Nike, Su Feng, who was still reading the "Philadelphia Evening News", hurriedly took out his small notebook and did some calculations.
18.6 leather, hiss, Nike is a bit ruthless this time...
Judging from the prices at this moment in 96, this contract is almost the same as the contract that the hot man will get in the future.
only......
All of this was within Su Feng's expectation.
Because even if Nike doesn't make this offer for themselves, Adidas and Reebok will sooner or later offer themselves an offer that won't be much lower than this one.
As the saying goes, this moment is that moment.
If Su Feng had been clamoring for such an offer from Nike when he first entered the league, then Nike would definitely suspect that he was crazy.
So Su Feng is not in a hurry.
Especially after doing a robust analysis of your own living environment...
What Su Feng can confirm is that even if his rookie season is not as exaggerated as Carter's, there is still hope for the title of the strongest high school rookie in history.
After all, which high school rookie can play as long as he does in every game?
And after the birth of "Meteor Slam Dunk", Su Feng's current popularity is rising in a straight line.
Iverson is a popular idol in the United States, and Su Feng also has the bonus of the hero rabbit of the rabbit family.
Therefore, Su Feng believed that Nike's offer to him...Nike's sponsor Knight was definitely based on the contract between Iverson and Reebok.
But the 8-year long contract...
"Bill, can you discuss with Nike to shorten the contract period a little?" Su Feng looked at Duffy and asked.
Duffy was stunned, "Long-term contract is a good thing, Su, why do you want to shorten the contract period?"
Su Feng spread his hands, he knew that this kind of 8-year contract is indeed a good thing for ordinary players.
Because no one can guarantee that they will not be injured in the future and their performance will not decline.
But for Su Feng, who knew that prices would skyrocket in the future and had immunity from injuries, 8 years was indeed too long.
After a while, after Duffy communicated with Nike, Nike readily agreed to Su Feng's request to shorten the contract period.
After hanging up the phone, Duffy changed the number on the tissue to 5 years, 2500 million, or 11.1 skins.
"Su, you should think about it. This contract is more than 1000 million dollars less than the previous one." Duffy reminded Su Feng.
Su Feng nodded, shortening the contract period, Nike's quotation will definitely be lower, but in reality, it will lose 25 US dollars per year.
But five years later, the contract that Su Feng signed at that time, would not only earn this mere 5 million US dollars?
"In addition, if you confirm that you want this offer, Nike hopes to add a priority renewal right to the contract." Duffy added.
"No problem, just 5 million in 2500 years, Bill, believe me, although it seems that we have made less money, but after 5 years, maybe I will become the MVP." Su Feng said jokingly.
MVP...
Well, if someone else had said that to Bill Duffy, Duffy would have kicked him hard in the ass.
But if it's Su Feng...
Although it is a bit crooked, but after witnessing Su Feng's rise this season, Duffy feels that there is at least a [-] in [-] chance that this will come true.
"By the way, can I make a suggestion to Nike?
That is, in addition to the official contract, can Phil Knight write me another offer on a tissue? "Su Feng asked curiously.
Duffy thought for a while, then said, "This shouldn't be a big problem, it's just...what do you want this tissue for?"
Su Feng smiled, he knew that the tissue agreement between Messi and Barcelona hadn't appeared yet, and as an excellent cross-border senior, Su Feng had to make good children's shoes like Messi. example.
cough......
In fact, Su Feng smelled the topicality from Knight's tissue.
Try to think about it. Nike signed itself with a tissue in 1997. This will definitely be written into the history books in the future and become an eternal story.
Because of the "tissue agreement," you can tell people how anxious Nike is to sign itself.
Once this is hyped up by the media, it will be a very good topic for Su Feng now.
Su Feng knew very well that it was useless to be honest and low-key when playing in the NBA.
And if you want to earn money from these evil capitalists, you must first learn how to "market" yourself.
Su Feng doesn't like to take the initiative to be a character, but it doesn't mean that he won't take advantage of opportunities given by others to expand his influence.
"Nasu, when do you think it is appropriate to formally sign with Nike?" Duffy asked curiously.
"Just tomorrow, since Nike is planning to use 'tissues' to sign a contract with me, why don't they do it quickly?"
Su Feng had seen the quotation agreement that Nike had proposed for him, and there was nothing wrong with it. Even the sales share of the sneakers, Nike gave him star treatment this time.
There is no need to wait any longer, because Su Feng knows that if he wants to develop further, the resources provided by Nike are very important.
Therefore, since Nike has taken such an initiative, then I have to show my sincerity in cooperating with Nike, right?
……
Perhaps, this is the fastest shoe contract ever signed by Nike.
In addition to some detailed consultations, the Nike staff who were already ready to work overtime and fight a protracted battle found that, hey...why is this signing so fast?
Phil Knight agreed to Su Feng's request to write another quotation on a tissue.
And after being awakened by Su Feng, Knight immediately realized that he had accidentally created a very newsworthy topic.
So, while Adi and Reebok were still thinking about how to quote Su Feng, Phil Knight officially flew to Philadelphia on the afternoon of the 15th.
The Nike spokesperson left a precious group photo with Su Feng at the signing ceremony.
And the most shocking thing about this group photo is that the "contract" that Knight and Su Feng are holding is actually a tissue...
When the "tissue agreement" between Su Feng and Nike was first broadcast on TV a few hours later, Adi and Reebok's top management were completely dumbfounded when they learned that Nike had officially signed Su Feng...
no......
you guys...
When did you negotiate?
Didn't Su Feng's manager, Duffy, keep saying to wait?
Suddenly, the top executives of Adidas and Reebok felt like [-] mud horses galloping past.
It's like you have been chasing a girl, but this girl suddenly ran away with a rich and handsome man.
5 million in 2500 years, just like that, Su Feng successfully joined the Nike family.
And next, he can bid farewell to the days of wearing sneakers provided by the team manager.
Except for some sneakers that require his permission to wear, in the future, he can wear Nike sneakers as he wants.
As for his signature shoes, Nike has made it very clear in the contract this time. They plan to design a signature shoe for Su Feng based on "Meteor Slam Dunk", but the design process and production will have to wait until the next day at least. season.
If Su Feng remembers correctly, Kobe's Adidas signature shoes will not be released until next season.
What's worth mentioning is that the original Nike designers were worried that Su Feng would give them some disturbing advice...
But these sneaker designers never expected that Su Feng had only one request for his signature shoes:
That's how it looks.
What international joke, advice?
Su Feng was not his high school classmate.
God knows how many sneaker designers shut themselves down after seeing Kobe's sneaker sketches?
Su Feng knows the truth that every line is like a mountain. He is not interested in design at all, and he trusts Nike's designers.
The reason Su Feng wanted the sneakers to look better was because basketball shoes were no better than soccer shoes.
In the sports world, the sneaker contracts of basketball players can account for a large proportion of the player's total income.
Because basketball shoes are easy to wear, even if you don't play basketball, you may buy these basketball shoes because they look good.
But football boots...
To be reasonable, who would wear football boots to go shopping without playing football?
Therefore, the sneaker income of basketball stars is much higher than that of football stars.
And this is why Iverson and Big Ben didn't choose to play in the NFL. After all, who would buy American football equipment?
In addition, this time Nike gave his sneakers a high share, so Su Feng hoped that his sneakers could be more cool.
He doesn't worry about getting hurt, and besides, being handsome is for a lifetime.
……
In other words, not long after Su Feng signed the contract with Nike, Kobe immediately called to "spray" him.
At that time, Kobe was full of words like "Why don't you sign with Nike for 8 years, do you think you are making too much money?" "What if you get injured in the future? Who will support you?"
Su Feng was happy, because he knew that Kobe was caring about him.
Actually... There is another reason why Su Feng didn't want to sign with Nike for eight years.
That is, in the future, his contract at Nike must not be lower than that of his successor, right?
As an "Encyclopedia of the Human Emperor", the Akron boy will sign the 03-year contract of nearly 7 million US dollars with Nike in 8000, and Su Feng, as James' senior, how can he get it? Less than James?
You know, in Su Feng's previous life, Kobe's contract with Nike was not as big as James'. Apart from the negative news about Kobe at that time, another main reason was that Kobe was transferred from Adidas.
Nike has always clearly distinguished its own family from outsiders, so in fact, from the very beginning, Su Feng never considered Adidas and Reebok.
Because in basketball, Nike is the father.
Even if Adi won the Adi Five Tigers in the future, after a few years, he still has to accept the fact that he was beaten by Nike in the basketball field.
As for Reebok, although Reebok's sneakers have a lot of black technology and good quality at the moment, after 05, Reebok will start to go downhill.
In Su Feng's previous life, Dayao's toes suffered from injuries, and it was also related to Reebok's sneakers.
In short, after appeasing Kobe's emotions, Su Feng still had to return to the game.
only......
How could Su Feng expect that after the "Meteor Slam Dunk", he came up with the "Tissue Agreement", and in this January of 1997, he has already become the focus of the moment...
The whole NBA is discussing about him.
And in a few days, his name will spread throughout North America...
