NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

"Sister Chunlin, did the negotiation go well this afternoon?"

Zhang Jinshui followed Zi Chunlin out of the room and came to the open-air balcony.

Although it was only on the second floor, it was already dark at this time, and the Toyota Center, where the ice hockey game was being held, could be seen in the distance from the opposite side, brightly lit, and the view was very good.

"Yes." Zi Chunlin nodded and said, "Zhao Nian's visit this time is indeed quite sincere.

When I brought out the offer that Hook and Sankecao had given us, they immediately upped their initial offer.

In the end, the invitation they gave mainly included the following points.

First, we will form a new joint venture with Tai Chi to run your sneaker brand, and we will hold 60% of the joint venture.

Second, the cooperation period is tentatively set at five years, and the basic endorsement fee is [-]% of your sneaker brand's annual sales.

Let me emphasize a little bit here. I have made an estimate before. The global sneaker sales of a top nba star is about 5000 million US dollars. If you are conservative, you should have 50 US dollars in sales per year, and we have to pay more for the profits of the shoes themselves. Accounted for 60%.

Third, and the most valuable point in this cooperation, during the five-year contract period, Zhao Yiian gave us 5% of Taiji’s equity every year. After the five-year contract ends successfully, we can get 5% of Taiji’s equity.

Finally, once the contract is signed, they will immediately pay 500 million Chinese currency as a signing fee. "

When Zi Chunlin talked about the 25% stake in Taiji, Zhang Jinshui no longer needed to listen to other cooperation content.

Based on the market value of the previous generation of Taiji, even if the equity is diluted during the listing process, the 25% equity will be worth billions or even tens of billions in the future.

Sure enough, Zi Chunlin was Zhang Jinshui's biggest cheat in this world.

Zi Chunlin continued: "At first glance, this cooperation plan does not seem to be as powerful as the real money given by Hook and Three Grass. But this cooperation is actually planting a cash cow, just like Jordan and the little-known The signing of the hook, the establishment of the trapeze brand, let Jordan earn countless times more wealth than the player's career salary after he retires."

Zhang Jinshui said with a chuckle, "I understand what you mean, Sister Chunlin, I am very satisfied with this plan, then you should arrange to sign the contract as soon as possible."

At this time, the sky had gradually turned dark. Zhang Jinshui turned his head and looked at the brightly lit private room through the floor-to-ceiling windows. He thought that according to the current darkness, the private room must not be able to see the outside situation.

He turned his head and looked at Zi Chunlin with burning eyes. Since returning from Minnesota in the morning, this was the first time the two had time to be alone.

It's a pity that Zi Chunlin had already seen his bad intentions, and said coquettishly: "Don't mess around! Let's go, go back." Turning around, he walked into the house.

Zhang Jinshui had no choice but to follow behind Zi Chunlin.

Zi Chunlin returned to the room and nodded to Zhao Nian who had been looking this way with his neck stretched out.

The latter immediately stood up happily, asked his assistant Xiao Zhu to help him pour another glass of red wine, and then pulled the subordinates from the design department to walk in front of Zhang Jinshui and said, "Jin Shui, that's great! Knowing that you can't drink, this glass I will do the wine myself, and I wish our cooperation a happy one.”

"In addition, I will ask Xiaofeng from our design department to make a foot model for you. A few days ago, our team has designed some shoes according to your style of play. When Xiaofeng helps you make a foot model, we will send it back to Huaguo immediately. By the time Xiaoman leaves, I should be able to bring you a few pairs of sample shoes."

I have to admit that Zhao Niannian is very vigorous in doing things. With this style of doing things, Zhao Niannian deserves to become a billionaire with a net worth of tens of billions in his last life.

"Okay, then I'll wait and see." Zhang Jinshui picked up a glass of water with a smile, clinked glasses with Zhao Nian, and said, "Replace wine with water. I wish us a happy cooperation."

At this time, everyone was full of wine and food, and the intention of cooperation had been reached. After Xiaofeng made a foot model for Zhang Jinshui, it was almost time to end the show.

After Zi Chunlin and Zhao Niannian made an appointment to meet tomorrow to draft a contract together, they called their assistant and asked him to drive Zhao Niannian and others back to the hotel.

I went home in Ziqiuli's car with Zhang Jinshui and Zhao Min'er.

The sneaker contract can be said to be the most important commercial contract for an NBA player in his career. After 3 months of contact with 7 or 8 brands, he finally helped Zhang Jinshui get the contract. Zi Chunlin He also breathed a sigh of relief, with a relaxed smile on his face.

Zhang Jinshui watched eagerly from the side, thinking that he could get a hug while Zi Chunlin was in a good mood no matter what.

But no matter in the car or after returning home, Zi Chunlin was avoiding Zhang Jinshui, pulling Zhao Miner beside her all the time, whispering happily, never giving Zhang Jinshui any chance to be alone.

This can't help but make Zhang Jinshui feel very depressed, why does it feel like Zi Chunlin and Zhao Min'er have formed a unified camp and are ready to deal with him as an outsider together at any time without being at home for two days.

Zhang Jinshui coughed several times to show his presence, but at most the two of them just glanced at him, and then they started chatting and laughing or went to do other things together.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Zhang Jinshui couldn't take it anymore, shouted that no one would pay attention to me anyway, went to bed, and went up the stairs to his room in a fit of anger.

But what he got in return was the smug laughter of the two girls behind him, Zhang Jinshui was so angry that he gritted his teeth, which almost affected the quality of sleep when he went to bed at night.

The next morning, when Zhang Jinshui woke up, it was already 10 am, and Zi Chunlin and Zhao Miner were not at home.

However, Zi Chunlin still made breakfast for Zhang Jinshui as usual, and left a note saying that she and Zhao Miner would bring back lunch and accompany Zhang Jinshui to watch the game between the Rockets and Spurs in the afternoon.

Finally, Zhang Jinshui got some little comfort for his heart hurt by being neglected last night.

He ate breakfast, took the basketball to the basketball court in the backyard and practiced basketball for a while, seeing that it was almost noon, he went back to the house to take a shower.

When he came out from the shower, he happened to meet Zi Chunlin returning home with a packed lunch.

Today, Zi Chunlin was wearing a black woolen coat and a red dress inside. She stepped on black high heels, revealing a pair of fair and slender legs.

When she entered the room and saw Zhang Jinshui, Zi Chunlin's pretty face immediately blushed, she took off her woolen coat and hung it on the hanger, and walked in front of Zhang Jinshui.

Zhang Jinshui, who was wiping his head with a towel, looked at Zi Chunlin's shy expression of resignation, and asked in surprise, "Sister Chunlin, what's wrong?"

Zi Chunlin's pretty face turned even redder, and she said angrily, "It's fine if you don't hug me!" She turned around and was about to leave.

Only then did Zhang Jinshui react, overjoyed, he quickly reached out to grab Zi Chunlin's soft little hand, and pulled the half-turned body of the other into his arms.

"Golden water." Zi Chunlin called out tremblingly.

Zhang Jinshui also suddenly became excited.

Since the scene in the car at the airport last time, the window paper between the two seemed to have been torn without needing to be pricked.

Zhang Jinshui hugged Zi Chunlin tightly, feeling that the other person's body was as soft as a wicker sticking tightly to his body.

He straightened her half-slanted body completely, and then raised his hand to lift her fair chin.

Zi Chunlin lowered her eyes, didn't even dare to look at Zhang Jinshui, but whispered in a half-pleading tone: "Jin Shui, can I not, I never...I...I still Not ready."

Zhang Jinshui looked at Zi Chunlin's soft pink lips, the flames in his heart became even hotter, how could he listen to her words, he bent down, and was about to touch the other party's...

At this moment, there was a "click", and the sound of a key being pushed into the lock came from outside the door.

Zi Chunlin immediately staggered and pushed Zhang Jinshui away, and then ran up the stairs like a frightened little white rabbit, suppressing the sound of footsteps.

The fuck!

Zhang Jinshui, who was about to burst out mentally and physically, felt like he was going crazy when he was blocked in such a way.

"Huh? Zhang Jinshui, are you alone at home? Where's Chunlin?"

Zhao Miner, who was wearing a JK skirt, opened the door and walked in. Without black-rimmed glasses, she looked like Haruko Akagi, but unfortunately, Zhang Jinshui's mind was full of Zi Chunlin now.

He snorted bitterly and said, "I'm back, I went upstairs to change my clothes."

"What's your attitude? Chunlin and I ignored you last night, are you holding a grudge?" Zhao Min'er took off her shoes and walked over with her hands behind her back, smiling.

After Zhang Jinshui hummed half-truthfully, Zhao Min'er was even happier, and said with a smile: "This situation will be normal in the future, you have to get used to it."

After finishing speaking, she also went upstairs in a skip.

After 10 minutes, Zi Chunlin and Zhao Miner went downstairs talking and laughing together.

Zhang Jinshui took a deep look at Zi Chunlin, and found that the other party's expression was normal, as if nothing had happened before.

What's more, she and Zhao Min'er started to form a united front again, ignoring Zhang Jinshui's love.

However, Zhang Jinshui's mentality is many times better than last night. Anyway, there will always be a time to place another order, and when the time comes...huh.

In the end, the three of them ate lunch together, went to take a nap respectively, and returned to the sofa on the first floor at 3 pm in time, and turned on the TV.

On ESPN TV, the Rockets' away game against the Spurs just started.

This game is also the Rockets' second nationally broadcast game after the game against the Heat.

It's a pity that the Rockets deployed an all-substitute lineup today, which was seriously inconsistent with the specifications of the national live broadcast.

The Spurs, who are playing at home, sent Duncan, Parker, Ginobili and other main players to the field today.

The outcome of this game seems to have lost suspense from the beginning.

But frankly speaking, the mental outlook of the Rockets players such as Luther Head and Alston is very good, and they played a few delicate cooperation with some ideas in the beginning.

It's a pity that in the face of absolute strength, occasional flashes of inspiration are meaningless.

The Spurs took a 29-point lead 19-10 in the first quarter.

And in the second quarter, a complete set of main lineup was still on the field, expanding the advantage to 25 points in one go.

After scoring 25 points, the veteran Popovich switched to a full-substitute game in the second half. He used the half-time work of the main players to effortlessly accept the victory of the Western Conference No. [-] battle.

As for the Rockets, as the gift giver, it cannot be said that there is no gain at all.

Most eye-catching is rookie Luther Head.

In the first half, he didn't show any timidity in front of Ginobili. He shot from inside and outside, and scored 10 points, 4 assists and 10 rebounds on 2 of 2 shots.

In the second half, facing the Spurs' substitute players, Lutherhead played even more vigorously. In the end, he made 22 of 10 shots and scored 26 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds.

Seeing that Van Gundy kept telling Luther Head all the time during the break, Zhang Jinshui could see that Van Gundy should be very satisfied with Luther Head's performance today.

I believe that in future games, Van Gundy should give him more playing time who can only enter the rotation when McGrady is absent from the game.

In addition to Luther Head, Alstom also performed well. He scored 18 points and 6 assists in the whole game. Although the [-]% shooting rate was a bit low, it was finally above the passing line.

Instead, Swift, who joined the Rockets this year and had high hopes from the media and fans before the start of the season, only made 15 of 5 shots and 5 of 2 free throws in this game when he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Van Gundy. Points, 12 rebounds and 8 block.

Offensively, Swift's scoring came from either Alston's lob feeds or his own occasional offensive rebound.

He took the initiative to attack the ball nearly 10 times, and almost all of them returned without success.

On the defensive end, Swift's defensive awareness is very poor. He only uses jumping to frighten opponents.

At the end of the fourth quarter, Swift, who had completely lost confidence, couldn't stand the low singles of the opponent's substitute center and sent his sixth foul.

Looking at the dignified Van Gundy in the broadcast, Zhang Jinshui suddenly had a premonition that Swift's time with the Rockets should not be long.

After all, Van Gundy has set the goal of the Rockets this year to win the championship, so he should not wait until the end of the season like he did in his previous life, before slowly helping Swift find a next home.

In the end, the Rockets lost the game 90-105.

San Antonio is actually not too far from Houston, only 300 miles away, about three hours by car.

The current time is 6 o'clock in the evening. After the post-match press conference, all the Rockets will take the bus back to Houston.

They only have one night's rest, and tomorrow they will face the number one Pistons in the Eastern Conference.

After voluntarily giving up the game against the Spurs, this game will become very important.

If they lose this game again, Van Gundy and the Rockets will have to face strong doubts from the public.
