90 million in 6 years!
In this era, this is the largest sneaker contract. Zuo Li, who has not played a single NBA game, has surpassed a lot of NBA superstars. Even the sneaker contracts of Kobe, James and other hot stars are not as big as Zuo Li's.
How can this not make the media excited?
You must know that the NBA is a business league, and every star has huge commercial value. Naturally, top stars have signature sneakers, and they usually get endorsement contracts only after they have achieved their worth.
So far in the history of the NBA, there are only four people who can get high-value sneaker contracts without playing a game. They are Iverson and Reebok's 50 million in 10 years, Kobe and Adidas' 48 million in six years, and James' 7
87 million in one year and 60 million in Durant's seven years.
Zuo Li became the fifth person after them, and the amount was the largest, but the tenure was the shortest. This still did not expose Zuo Li's share agreement and independent brand, otherwise the media would probably be silenced.
But this is enough now. Counting Zuo Li's previous announcement to participate in the 2008 draft, Zuo Li shocked the entire basketball world on the first day of the year, and many NBA stars were exposed.
"It's incredible, this world is so crazy." - O'Neal.
"Didn't you say big guys don't sell shoes?" - Garnett.
"This is the biggest news of the year, right? Right?" Anthony.
"Crazy decision, I hope I won't regret it in the future." - Durant.
Naturally, the melon-eaters on the Internet also have mixed reviews.
Some people said that and1 was crazy, and using so much money to sign a rookie who didn't make it to the NBA was simply doing charity.
Some lamented that Zuo Li has become a newcomer with huge influence and looked forward to his performance.
Of course, some also ridiculed Zuo Li. It was outrageous for a big man to want to sell shoes.
In short, there is anything to say.
However, the fact is that after the news was announced, and1's stock price rose by 4 points, stopping the downward trend for five consecutive days. This has already made the top management of and1 smile.
As for Nike and Adidas, who tried to sign Zuo Li but failed, they only felt regretful, but they didn't feel anything. Especially Nike, which already has super rookies such as James and Durant, Rose, Beasley, and Mayo.
The contact is expected to be completed soon. It doesn't matter if we stand alone.
However, this decision was considered to be Nike's most failed decision in the next 20 years...
This is all a story for later.
The song ended, and only Zuo Li and Rich Paul were left in the office. Rich Paul had a cigar in his hand, but because of Zuo Li, he didn't light it, he just held it in his hand. This is also his unique characteristic.
Ways of celebrating.
And soon, Zuo also sent a big gift, a check for US$200,000.
"Well done Rich, this is 200,000, which is considered your year-end bonus." Zuo Li patted Rich Paul on the shoulder.
"This, this is too much, man, I have already received a lot." Rich Paul was a little panicked about this unexpected surprise. There was no such year-end bonus in the contract. Even after Zuo Li signed, he could take a commission.
Millions, but that is not something that can be achieved overnight. US$200,000 is still a huge amount of money for him.
"You deserve this. Thanks to you for persuading them. Otherwise, they would hang themselves from this tree on the street. Besides, we don't need to talk so much. Take, here is the future first agent."
Yes, Rich Paul was indispensable for the success of this signing. He not only negotiated the sky-high price renewal contract with and1, but also negotiated the sharing agreement, as well as Zuoli's independent brand, and also persuaded and1 to change the company's strategy.
In the past, and1's focus was on the streets, but after this signing, and1's focus will begin to tilt towards the NBA. They will increase their investment in order to sign more NBA players to expand their influence in the NBA. This is undoubtedly a time
Big changes.
Zuo Li originally just mentioned it, because it is not easy to change a company's strategy. and1 made its fortune on the street. Back then, Garnett and the Pistons didn't let them change their strategy. Unexpectedly, Rich Paul did it.
It works. This proves that Zuo Li's vision is correct. This guy is a talent, and Zuo Li will naturally not be stingy.
"Yeah! Then I'll accept it." Rich Paul nodded heavily. Zuo Li's words not only moved him a little, but also gave him the feeling that a scholar would die for his confidant. Zuo Li had no trust in him from the beginning.
No reservations, that's why he works so hard
And the phrase "the first agent of the future" made Rich Paul even more passionate. He believed that this situation has just begun on paper and they will definitely create a bigger career.
Zuo Li didn't wait long, signing the contract was just the first thing today.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zuo Li showed up at a coffee shop near Wall Street. Mr. Derek had been waiting for a long time. What they met was a famous stock trader on Wall Street. The purpose was naturally to sell some of the stocks that Zuo Li had continuously acquired in 2004.
The stock is sold.
Zuo Li entrusted Mr. Derek with this matter instead of anyone else. The reason is naturally because Mr. Derek is very trustworthy. He was young and the account opening was all done by Mr. Derek. Without Mr. Derek's help,
, this thing may not be possible yet.
But now, if everything goes well, it's time to harvest.
"Zuo Li, you have to sell all those stocks, but I heard that the market is very good now and it's a bull market. It would be a pity to sell it now." Mr. Derek said before anyone came.
At first, he was full of doubts. It was unbelievable that Zuo Li could invest in stocks. But in the next few years, as he watched Zuo Li's investment stocks continue to skyrocket, he believed it. Under Zuo Li's guidance, he also bought stocks.
He finally got out of poverty. If he hadn't been worried about leaving the welfare home, he would have resigned long ago.
"Sir, believe me, now is the best time. It is best to sell everything except apples," Zuo Li said.
There is no need to explain too much. The year 2008 is enough to explain the problem. The financial crisis sweeping the United States has already begun to show its signs. Of course, this is also an opportunity for Zuo Li, and Zuo Li will not let go of this opportunity.
Zuo Li has been planning for this since 2004. Because of his identity and the fact that his face was clean at first, it took a lot of effort, but now, it is finally time to reap the rewards.
"Okay, Mr. Zuo Li, you have sold all 4 stocks, and the account will arrive in about three days. They have all been deposited into the predetermined account for you. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." The trader named Dodge
Respectfully handed the information to Zuo Li.
The stock worth 3 million dollars back then has tripled the minimum profit this year and 7.5 times the maximum. The total amount has just reached 20 million US dollars. He can get 350,000 US dollars in commissions from this trip alone.
From all aspects, the man in front of me can be considered a genius.
"Of course." Zuo Li shook hands with Dodge with satisfaction. He could be considered as plundering the wool of capitalism, and he really didn't have any burden at all.
As a result, Zuo Li only has one Apple stock left in his hands, and he is also preparing to increase investment again. Although the economic crisis has an impact on Apple, the impact is not significant. Instead, it will become an opportunity for Apple to take off after it is over. I believe
No one would have thought that Apple, which had a market value of only 10 billion in 2004, would have reached 100 billion last year, and no one would have thought that this was just the beginning, so Zuo Li invested all the money he earned into it.
At the same time, he called Rich Paul and asked him to pay attention to a company called Ali on the market that might invest in the United States. Zuo Li's business layout had just begun.
