Chapter 77 Sneakers contract storm
In the afternoon of the next day, Sun Yi followed Schwartz to a five-star hotel in New York as agreed, and met with Nike negotiators in the conference room.
"Sun, it's a pleasure to meet you. We are very optimistic about your prospects. If you sign with Nike, we will continue to expand your influence and maximize your value. This is definitely a win-win cooperation."
Nike representative Ann Herbert quickly stepped forward, shook hands with Sun Yi enthusiastically, and drew a pie to seduce Sun Yi.
"Thank you, Ms. Herbert, for your consideration. I don't know anything about this matter. I'd better negotiate with my agent, Mr. Schwartz." Sun Yi replied politely.
Ann Herbert was stunned after hearing this. She didn't expect that the hot-blooded young man in front of her could be so cunning.
"Ms. Herbert, let's talk between us. I'm professional in this regard. After all, I take the employer's money. It's against professional ethics to work without contributing."
Schwartz on the side spoke up at the right time, helped Sun Yi out of the siege, and communicated with Ann Herbert.
After simple greetings, both parties took their seats and officially got down to business.
Nike representative Ann Herbert offered a five-year, $20 million cash contract. They felt that such an offer was very sincere.
After all, Ah Lian, who was also the No. 6 pick, signed a seven-year, $10 million cash contract.
Nike thought that such an offer would be able to capture Sun Yi.
Unexpectedly, both Sun Yi and Schwartz were dissatisfied with such an offer.
"Sorry, Ms. Herbert, we have not seen the sincerity of Nike. I think you have received the news before. Anta has quoted us US$30 million over six years. Who do you think we will choose?" Schwartz smiled.
asked rhetorically.
"But Anta cannot help Sun in some aspects, but Nike can. Mr. Schwartz should think about it carefully." Ann Herbert said very confidently.
Nike has voting rights for the attribution of some awards in the league, but other shoe manufacturers do not have these advantages.
She thought that this alone would make Sun Yi and the others unable to refuse.
Schwartz was stunned and looked at Sun Yi, wanting to hear his opinion.
When Sun Yi saw Schwartz looking over, he felt very happy.
This move shows that Schwartz respects his own opinions and does not treat him as a cash cow.
After the two quietly communicated, they made the final decision, with Schwartz repeating the results of the discussion.
"Ms. Herbert, I'm sorry, if Nike can't increase its quotation, we will not consider Nike. It's a pity that this cooperation could not be achieved. We look forward to our next cooperation."
Ann Herbert was in disbelief after hearing this. Unexpectedly, these two country bumpkins refused to cooperate.
Before this, she had promised her superiors that she would definitely be able to complete the task, but she did not expect this result.
She knew that even if she increased the price, she would not be able to achieve cooperation.
Because the highest price offered by Nike’s senior management did not exceed the price offered by Anta.
It's just that she was too arrogant, thinking that an Asian boy who had never seen much of the world would definitely agree without hesitation after seeing so much money, so she issued a military order.
If she returns in such a dejected state, she will definitely be laughed at by her colleagues and treated as a waste by her boss. That would be a disaster.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, causing Ann Herbert to lose his mind and make some extraordinary moves.
"You can't leave yet, the negotiation is not over yet!"
"Oh, is Nike planning to increase prices?" Schwartz asked.
"We can also provide some incentive policies. As long as Sun meets the conditions, he can get more money." Herbert grasped the last straw.
"Then please tell me, Ms. Herbert." Schwartz was very interested in this.
If she doesn't force her, she won't show her trump card.
Immediately, Herbert mentioned the incentive policy.
"Ms. Herbert, I have to say sorry again. This sincerity is not enough. Anta also provides incentive policies, and their reward amount is twice that of yours."
After Schwartz finished speaking regretfully, knowing that this cooperation could not be achieved, he said hello to Ann Herbert and led Sun Yi towards the door of the conference room.
When Ann Herbert saw this situation, he completely exploded. Regardless of his image, he ridiculed Sun Yi and the others bitterly.
"Just because you, an Asian guy, still want to sign a big contract, go ahead and dream! Even if you don't look at how many of your compatriots have fought, you are also a useless guy, and there is no way you can fight!"
"And that old man, just to make a little more money, he gave up a lot of money-making opportunities for a small profit. He is so short-sighted and deserves to be a pauper for the rest of his life!"
Sun Yi and Schwartz were stunned after hearing this, feeling a little surprised.
What's the matter?
Doesn’t this stupid woman know that benevolence and righteousness are not important in business?!
"Sun, don't pay attention. Maybe this guy has lost his mind and gone crazy."
Sun Yi nodded in agreement, and then quickly left with Schwartz.
Seeing that Sun Yi and the others ignored her, An-Herbert became furious and scolded her even more harshly.
She is not afraid that what happened today will be exposed. Anyway, there is no surveillance in this conference room. No one will know what happened here today after leaving this door.
Even if Sun Yi and the others go out to find media reporters to expose them, it won't have much impact.
Use the huge energy of Nike to suppress the matter in minutes.
As soon as Sun Yi walked out of the conference room door, he felt calm in an instant. Just when he wanted to express his opinion, the system prompt sounded in his mind.
"Ding! It has been detected that the host has been seriously insulted, and a temporary mission has been issued."
Sun Yi was speechless after hearing this. The crazy guy just said a few words of joy and seriously insulted me.
Also, this system shouldn’t issue tasks, so let me beat her up!
But I don’t hit women!
Fortunately, the system is not that crazy.
"Ding! A temporary mission is now issued: defeat Nike!"
"Task requirement: Get the Summer League mvp."
"Task reward: comprehensive detailed information on all Nike sneakers in the next twenty years."
Sun Yi originally thought that the mission of 'Knocking out Nike' issued by the system was just a formality, but he didn't expect it to come true.
If he gets a reward from the system, he buys it, finds a shoe factory, and then finds a few expert designers. According to the information given by the system, he should be able to perfectly copy Nike's future sneakers.
This simply cuts off Nike's financial path.
When Sun Yi was in a daze, Schwartz patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.
"Sun, don't pay attention to that crazy woman's nonsense. You may be able to type it out. I will not do a loss-making business. I am very optimistic about you."
"Thank you, Mr. Schwartz, I don't take it to heart."
After thanking Sun Yi, he continued: "By the way, I have one thing to trouble you. I would like to sign a sneaker contract after the summer league. Do you think that's okay?"
Although Schwartz was a little confused, he didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and said, "Then let's go and go to Auckland to sign a contract."
Chapter completed!
