Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 198 [The Worst Place on Earth]

Back in New York, Wang Jun received a Christmas gift in advance. Ryan Hughes showed him the endorsement contract drawn up by Nike. If there is no objection, the contract can be officially signed at night. √∟ Vertex says, ..

The contract was greatly improved, and was finally set at 15 million US dollars over three years and business sharing.

Wang Jun shouted after seeing the numbers: "Why have you improved so much? I'm not dreaming, am I?"

He twisted himself, it wasn't a dream.

Hughes picked his ears and said with a smile, "Your voice, you won this by yourself. These four games were so beautiful. Many people are optimistic about your future. If there is competition from merchants, it will be easier to raise the price."

"Lei, thank you." Wang Jun knew it must not be that simple.

"I also want to thank you for your trust."

An experienced broker is critical. If Wang Jun's manager was a rookie, he might have persuaded him to sign the contract earlier, and he might lose 10 million yuan.

Wang Jun didn't play well against the Grizzlies, and it seemed that his condition was not stable. Hughes chose to procrastinate and compete with the merchants for patience.

Of course it is very risky to do so, the key depends on whether Wang Jun can play well in the future, if the state declines all the way, it may scare the merchants away.

Hughes was optimistic about Wang Jun and was willing to take a gamble, but he won the bet.

Adidas raised the offer for Wang Jun's consecutive double rebounds. They are optimistic that he will become another No. 0 star after Arenas. They just signed an 8-year 40 million long-term contract with Arenas.

Reebok also stepped in and was willing to provide Wang Jun with a big contract. The value was lower than that of Yao Ming, but he was also very sincere. Yao Ming is the champion. Wang Jun is in the second round.

Nike has lost Yao's name and does not want to suffer a second time. He immediately raised the price and promised to create exclusive boots for Wang Jun.

As long as he can be selected as an All-Star within these three years. He will definitely renew a high-value long-term contract. The specific amount depends on his data at the time.

Hughes explained that there are consequences, and also singled out James.

"You have to thank LeBron. He spoke well of you to the person in charge of Nike. With the equivalent endorsement fee, Nike thinks investing in you is better than Arenas, because you have a high emotional intelligence."

"I have a high EQ? Are you kidding me? Abby often can't think of me, I'm a fool." Wang Jun said without scruples.

Hughes guessed that they were flirting, and shook his head: "As long as you can accept the interview and don't talk nonsense. According to the standards of the business, you have high EQ. Except for the elbow at the beginning, your image is very good, and you have a good relationship with your teammates. Became friends with James and Lamar Odom."

"I'll keep it." Wang Jun felt that this was nothing more than normal and easy.

When you see a big-name player, even if you don't ask the other party to "take me to pretend to be b and take me to fly", you should do enough to save face, just say hello and smile. Who doesn't know what others ask and answer?

If this is called high EQ, Wang Jun can't even think of what it means to have a low EQ.

Is it ignoring his teammates?

Or see who provokes whom?

Even James and Anthony don't dare to play like this, it's not about the level of emotional intelligence. But IQ is too low.

He still has too little experience, there are many mentally handicapped people in nba, and there are so many weird people.

For example, before participating in the 1984 NBA Draft. The 76ers management decided to choose Charles Barkley and informed him to reduce his weight. And the latter in order not to let Philadelphia choose him. He ate Hesai nonsense and gained more than ten catties in a week.

His thinking is naive: "As long as I get fat. The 76ers won't want me." But in the end they couldn't escape their fate, and the 76ers still chose him.

For another example, on a certain night in 2000, Ming Yao, who was resting at an away hotel, rang the doorbell. When he opened the door, he saw a Chinese-American with heavy makeup leaning against the door, his apricot face full of spring. That was a big gift from his teammate Griffin at the time who thought he was giving Yao Ming.

For another example, the fledgling Kobe yelled at Malone at the All-Star Game: "Go away! I want to fight Jordan!"

In short, Wang Jun is very happy to be praised for his high emotional intelligence, and he has no problem with the details of advertising endorsements, and can't wait to become a rich man.

He immediately called Abby in Cleveland to announce the good news, chatted for a while, and then called James to thank him.

James was very calm: "I didn't actually do anything. Nike called and asked me if I thought you could become a star in the future. I definitely can. You are better than Hamilton."

"Your two words will work. Next time we meet, I will treat you to the best restaurant! Thank you!"

"You're welcome."

Hamilton is a good benchmark. He averaged 0+ per game in a single season and has not been selected to the All-Star. He is considered a quasi-star.

James suddenly said, "There is something I have to apologize to you."

"What's up?"

"There is a game against the Cavaliers this Christmas, Abby has to spend the holidays here, you must be very depressed?" James joked.

The Nets had a game against the Bulls on the 6th, and now it was snowing everywhere in the eastern part of the United States. Wang Jun could fly to Cleveland, but if the flight was delayed due to heavy snow, he might miss the game. He could only stay in New York.

Wang Jun smiled bitterly and said, "I have no choice but to live at home. If Abby encounters difficulties over there and needs help, don't worry about it."

James suggested: "You only have a two-year contract, and after finishing next season, move to Cleveland, and everything will be resolved."

"It's better to avoid this, I am very happy in New York..."

After chatting for a while, Wang Jun hung up the phone.

Wang Jun is very afraid of James' poaching offensive. He has no objection as a teammate. It is not good to go to Cleveland, that city is too bad.

The label of Cleveland in American culture is a place where losers gather, a natural joke, the poorest city, the garbage of garbage, and the most miserable city in the United States.

The status of this city in the United States is roughly equivalent to China's Tieling. It is not a place, but it is very poor.

When James was interviewed, he insisted that he was from Akron, not Cleveland. He really didn't want to "become" a Cleveland native.

If you are an "Akronian" in public, everyone will just "Oh, people from one place, it's not easy to get to this point."

But if you're from Cleveland, that's it.

Tieling's joke was only mentioned by Zhao Benshan, but Cleveland? That is the "worst place on earth", "the place everyone wants to escape from", "the place where it is more difficult to escape than North Korea" in the mouth of many jokers.

Not long ago, a Russian stand-up comedian improvised a joke: "Clevelandians, don't be too sad because you are laughed at by everyone in the United States. You know, everyone laughs at some cities in every country. For example, in Russia , we just laughed at Cleveland."

Although the team contract and advertising endorsement contract cannot be compared with James, but compared with the team he belongs to, Wang Jun immediately balanced and has a sense of superiority.

After playing the Bulls on the 6th, the Nets will challenge the Pacers in back-to-back away games.

The Pistons, one of the main competitors in the Eastern Conference, is obviously not the opponent of the Nets. The game against the Pacers is more critical. As long as they can win easily, the Nets will have a good road to the playoffs.

Wang Jun is not interested in Christmas, he just wants to start the game quickly, and he can't wait to compete with the Pacers. (To be continued.)
