Chapter 1569 Blank Check
When Lin Feng acquired "Converse" and "Reebok" with lightning speed, the CEOs of those companies in the sporting goods market all knew that the wolf was coming. Thinking of the two teams owned by Lin Feng——
Tottenham Hotspur and Houston Rockets, all companies feel chilled.
Tottenham Hotspur, the most watched football team in the world, has surpassed Real Madrid, Manchester United and other teams, and is currently the most popular football team.
The Houston Rockets, the last NBA champion, can be said to be the best team in the world.
Both teams are owned by Lin Feng, and Lin Feng has rich star resources that make all companies jealous. Fortunately, what makes most companies feel at ease is that most of these stars are well-known and have signed contracts, which makes many companies feel at ease.
The CEO of the sporting goods company feels a little relieved.
But then when Lin Feng announced the list of stars he had signed, all the companies were shocked. There was nothing they could do but be shocked.
The first list Lin Feng announced was a famous person, and the most popular athlete in recent times - Liu Xiang.
Since Liu Xiang ran an astonishing time of 12.88 seconds in the 110-meter hurdles final of the Athens Olympics, breaking the world record and winning the Olympic gold medal, his popularity has soared. He has become a world-class idol, especially in China, where he instantly gained unparalleled popularity.
I am afraid that only Yao Ming can compete with him. As for other stars, stars are simply incomparable.
Liu Xiang became the spokesperson of "Linfeng Sporting Goods Company". It is conservatively estimated by the outside world that it will bring at least 200-300 million US dollars in sales to "Linfeng Sporting Goods Company". After all, Liu Xiang is already a phenomenon, and a yellow man cannot break the
The paradox of competing with European and American non-athletes on the track and field track is a hot topic throughout the world, and it is normal for "Linfeng Sports Goods Company" to bring huge popularity and profits.
As for Liu Xiang joining "Linfeng Sporting Goods Company", the outside world is not surprised at all. After all, Liu Xiang is Chinese, so there is nothing strange about joining "Linfeng Sporting Goods Company".
Subsequently, Lin Feng announced that Yao Ming was in the same position as Liu Xiang. Moreover, Yao Ming had signed a contract with "Reebok" before, and "Reebok" was acquired by Lin Feng. Basically, it was a matter of course. As for Wade, he was the same as Yao Ming.
It makes sense. "Converse" has also been acquired by Lin Feng, so Wade is naturally one of Lin Feng's signed spokespersons.
What really surprised the outside world was James, the proud son of heaven. You know, last year, when James was still a high school student, Nike signed a seven-year, $90 million contract with him. It can be said that this pair was still a high school student.
, for James, who comes from a poor family, the Nike contract is like a timely help. But now James has actually become the spokesperson of Lin Feng, and defected from "Nike" to "Lin Feng Sports Goods Company". This is really a shock to the outside world.
Already.
No one expected that Lin Feng would poach Nike, and he would poach such a big-name star.
"Damn it! You will be punished." Nike President William Perez cursed angrily.
Originally, William Perez was relatively lucky after Sarapova was successfully poached by Lin Feng. After all, Sarapova's serious injury certificate and a shoulder injury that may not heal in the future make it very likely that Nike will carry it.
It was a heavy contract. But Lin Feng's poaching made Nike feel relieved, and it also gained 100 million US dollars. This is a very wonderful thing.
But then Lin Feng handed over a check again, saying that it was to redeem James' life, which made William Perez feel pain. When he signed the contract with James, he was overconfident and thought that no company would give James more money than his own company.
A higher contract, so the liquidated damages were signed at US$50 million. According to common sense, this is a very reasonable price. After all, Nike itself is the best in the world, and the contract it offers is also the best in the world. It is impossible for James to defect.
to other companies.
However, the sudden appearance of Lin Feng made James' "defection" that existed only in theory a reality. And the price was only 50 million US dollars, which made William Perez really want to vomit blood.
James was sold to Lin Feng for US$50 million. This was too cheap. It was as cheap as buying cabbage in the market. At most, he could only buy a grass carp.
Of course, Lin Feng can poach James, and Nike can also snatch it back. After all, the contract Lin Feng gave James is only 10 million US dollars more than Nike. A mere 10 million US dollars, for Nike, which has deep pockets, is nothing short of amazing!
Just a little drizzle.
Regardless of whether it was out of revenge or to maintain Nike's dignity, James had to be snatched away. Therefore, Nike found James as soon as they received Lin Feng's check. They didn't say anything and just offered him a gift.
A blank check.
"LeBron, this is not the first time we have cooperated." When he said this, William Perez felt pain in his balls. Nike and James have only cooperated once, and they have just cooperated for a year, and the first contract was only
Only one-seventh of it was implemented. If Lin Feng hadn't interfered, they would still have a close cooperative relationship.
As a result, because of Lin Feng, the cooperation between Nike and James became a thing of the past, and now they are facing a second handshake.
“LeBron, I think you know better than anyone else about the strength of our Nike. Our company has decades of history and has been committed to developing sports shoes that are most suitable for human beings. It is no exaggeration to say that our company’s strength and
Scientific research strength, or financial..." When it came to financial resources, William Perez coughed, and tens of billions of dollars in banknotes suddenly appeared in his mind. This was all the cash owned by Lin Feng, almost as much as Nike's.
The market value is the same.
If you have more money than this kind of person, it’s better not to compare. Comparing will make people more miserable. - William Perez looked depressed.
"LeBron, this is a blank check. As long as you are willing to sign with Nike, our company will take care of everything else." Pointing to the blank check on the table, William Perez showed a resolute and confident smile.
In his opinion, it is absolutely impossible for James to refuse such a contract.
Not many people can refuse a blank check. At least William Perez doesn't think that James, a man who easily changes his career, will refuse this blank check.
James looked at the blank check on the table and hesitated for a while.
"LeBron, I know what you are hesitating about. I can tell you frankly that this blank check is given to you to let you know our company's attitude towards you. We are absolutely optimistic about you and are willing to pay anything for you.
Price. You can put any number on it, any number!" William Perez tempted James.
Of course, although William Perez said it was any number, in fact, unless he is a fool or a lunatic, most people will not really write down an astronomical number when faced with a blank check. Instead, they will write down an astronomical number based on their own strength and ability.
Evaluate a reasonable number, although usually this reasonable number actually exceeds the actual value of the person. But at this time, William Perez does not care about this.
For him, for Nike, what is more important now is face, face! No matter James finally filled in 100 million, 200 million, or even 300 million, Nike recognized it. As long as James can return to the embrace of Nike, everything will
Nike thought it was just retaliation against Lin Feng.
James was still hesitating, staring at the blank check with hesitation.
William Perez smiled and remained silent. Because he firmly believed in the power of a blank check, no one, including him, could resist the temptation of a blank check.
After a long time, James shook his head and pushed the check back to William Perez with a sad and determined expression.
William Perez was immediately dumbfounded! This, this, what is this? James would actually refuse a blank check. Oh my God, is he dreaming? Or is he just blind? - William Perez**
With **** eyes, he couldn't believe what he saw before his eyes. James actually returned this blank check.
"LeBron, do you really reject our Nike?" William Perez was a little angry.
James nodded heavily.
"You... don't regret it!" William Perez pointed at James and was speechless for a long time. Finally, he snorted coldly, picked up the check from the table, and walked away heavily.
James looked at the check with regret, and finally sighed helplessly. It was not that he was not attracted by the blank check, but that he did not dare to accept it. Because Jordan had spoken, since he signed a contract with his boss' company, he should concentrate on
Be honest, otherwise anyone who dares to go back on his word will be expelled from the entire team.
Although James can go to any team with his current skills, he is really comfortable in the Houston Rockets, and there is his idol Jordan. Therefore, in the end, James can only refuse. Of course, the most important thing is because of Lin
Feng, James was afraid that this incident would completely anger Lin Feng.
Once upon a time, Rodman, a thorn in the side, took advantage of Michael Jordan's absence to not train properly and act like a big star on the team. As a result, Dawson had no choice but to call Lin Feng. Lin Feng immediately asked Tomjanovich
Put Rodman on the injured list and then not let him play for a long time. At the same time, he also used tricks to force all Rodman's creditors to come to him for money, which made Rodman want to cry. In the end,
I can only return to training honestly.
If he betrays Lin Feng this time, James can imagine how serious the consequences will be. Therefore, he does not dare to betray Lin Feng for a blank check. Although the liquidated damages in his contract are only a symbolic amount of 1 dollar.
Liquidated damages, but James still didn't dare to betray Lin Feng. There was no way, compared to Nike's dollars, the boss's was more cruel. At least, James was afraid.
Lin Feng's power is evident.
Later, Lin Feng announced the news that Sarapova signed a contract with "Lin Feng Sports Goods Company". For this, the outside world was not too surprised. After all, it is a fact that Sarapova was seriously injured, and Nike's move seemed to reduce the burden.
In this regard, the outside world breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Lin Feng is not as smart as he seems on the surface.
