Guard With a Knife

88.88 million US dollars in five years.

This number shocked the entire basketball circle, and even the entire sports world.

The average annual salary is equivalent to the largest endorsement contract in basketball history except for Michael Jordan.

You must know that the contract signed by LeBron James and Nike is only 7 years and 90 million. Last year's No. 2 Kevin Durant only got a 7-year 60 million contract. Today's league signature star Kobe Bryant's contract with Nike includes sneakers Including the sales share, the annual income is only between 14 million and 16 million.

But... this rookie. Why do you get an average annual salary close to 18 million US dollars?

On the spot, some reporters questioned Nike President Phil Knight: "On what basis do you judge to give Snoopy the highest-paid endorsement contract in history? You must know that he is only an inside player, and he can't even enter the lottery."

Phil Knight did not explain that this is a non-guaranteed contract. He just emphasized plainly: "First, Duke Snoopy is a point guard. Second, his market background is the most extensive in today's league. Finally, we are very optimistic about him. The future. And, we firmly believe that the cooperation between Nike and him can achieve a win-win situation.”

Later, in ESPN's news report, Phil Knight was commented as an Alzheimer's patient, and blindly and stupidly believed that "a lie told a thousand times is the truth".

"How can Snoopy be a point guard? Have you ever seen a point guard who pushes an opposing center straight out of the baseline? Can he run all over the court with a basketball? It's not like being short enough is a point guard, Charles Barker Leigh never claimed to be a point guard either!"

ESPN's attack was extremely violent, and they believed that Nike's move seriously damaged the market: "In the case that lottery rookies can only get endorsement contracts with an average annual salary of less than one million dollars, Nike hastily gave this draft prediction ranking 20th. A sky-high contract for the left and right Chinese center, which seriously provoked the self-esteem of other rookies. At the same time, it also disintegrated the loyalty of other Nike stars to the brand.”

"There is no doubt that Nike overestimated the Chinese market, but also overestimated Snoopy's influence. It does not mean that his single promoted to the top ten of the Billboard means that he has a broad mass base, those People who listen to him don’t play basketball. And the main selling point of the song is Miley Cyrus.”

As the largest professional sports platform in North America, ESPN's remarks often represent the wind vane.

When they all criticized the situation, other media all spoke in unison. Whether it's NBC, ABC, TNT, or Time Warner, all TV media and print media include online streaming media.

Everyone's evaluation of this contract is: stupid! !

They even complained that this was the first unequal contract that China forced the United States to sign in history, worth 88.88 million US dollars.

"What an ironic number. In China, 5 means what I mean. 8 means getting rich. This deal represents the Chinese Snoopy getting rich and getting rich! Yes, we've all seen it. Nike put the ten All the profits earned from China in the past few years have been handed over to Duke Snoopy, and he also praised this as a win-win deal. Hey, Phil Knight, do you need me to reserve a bed for you in the hospital?"

Even the talk show "Ke Lanxiu" started talking about it.

In terms of communication, Nike's intentions succeeded.

They hardly paid a penny for publicity, and let the world know their image of deep pockets.

At the same time, Snoopy is also known to most people: a lucky Chinese took 88.88 million US dollars from Nike.

"This is really a wonderful deal." Three days later, Phil Knight even held a private ball at the Portland headquarters, and he told his important investors and directors: "In fact, we only spent $4.88 million. .

Of course, if Snoopy can trigger the reward clause we set, we will not lose money, because it proves that he is a talent to create. And, don't forget, he is Chinese. The Chinese are increasingly able to pay for expensive sneakers. "

In this regard, Snoopy's evaluation is the same.

On the second day after signing the contract, he met with the executives of Citibank. With the help of Professor Nelson, he had a very friendly conversation with the senior.

And successfully used the Nike contract, perfume, and KFC Asian sponsorship contract mortgage loans to obtain 20 million US dollars.

Snoopy will complete the repayment of this fund in 7 years.

This means that he has to pay close to 5 million US dollars a year, and the interest is very high.

But Citigroup never doubted Snoopy's repayment ability from beginning to end. They investigated Snoopy's family background, but they did not talk about it during the conversation.

They can understand the spirit of independent entrepreneurship of the rich second generation, and they often provide this kind of loan service to those wealthy second generation. Often, these rich second generations will quickly squander the money. Then just make a phone call and tell their father, and the bank will receive the remittance or cashier's check soon!

Frank Brutal has experience with this.

So after signing the contract, they happily teased each other's names. And emphasize that dogs are man's best friend.

As 20 million US dollars entered his domestic account.

Snoopy began to feel like an arrow.

But before that, he had a passionate meeting with Jennifer who had returned from filming.

Although as soon as we met, Jennifer was complaining that Disney people played too much. She emphasized that she hated Miley Cyrus' tongue kiss that encroached on sovereignty, and vowed that she must kiss back in more important competitions to prove that As a genuine girlfriend.

After Snoopy made three promises to her, she definitely did not have any sexual behavior towards Miley Cyrus.

They did it 8 times in bed.

From six o'clock in the evening on April 29th to the morning of the 30th.

Then, they slept through the night and didn't wake up.

Snoopy still has the desire to fight, but Jennifer obviously doesn't have the physical strength to moisten things silently.

After a restrained chatter, Snoopy proposed to Jennifer that he wanted to take Jennifer home to meet his parents.

But apparently, Jennifer still has doubts about it, even though she will have seven days of vacation next. She wishes she could give herself two days off before trying to get a new audition.

Snoopy had no choice but to smile, expressing his support for Jennifer's career.

Then on the morning of May 1st, Snoopy and Lin Weiwei got on the plane back to the motherland together.

During the long flight, Snoopy was in high spirits. He is looking forward to the picture of his parents seeing him. And, when I put out 20 million dollars to save their business, they will definitely jump up in surprise, right?
