Chapter 62: The Restarted Sneaker Contract
There was turmoil in the outside world, but Li Luo naturally remained unmoved.
Less than a week before the start of the season, Li Luo is almost living in the Celtics training facility. Anyway, there is no one in the house he rents in Boston, so let it be empty.
This attitude towards professionalism has naturally won unanimous praise from the Celtics from top to bottom.
When Li Luo was sweating profusely in the training hall, his agent called us.
"Lee, they're here again." Bill Duffy was very excited on the phone. He had only secured a US$50 million endorsement deal for Yao during the summer offseason, and he seemed to see a large contract share waving to him again.
As for his voice on the phone, it was a little shaky.
"They? Who?" Lee Luo wiped his sweat with a towel and asked Bill Duffy.
"Hook, Three Stripes, Reebok and others have all re-quoted their prices. Now your value has skyrocketed."
"Oh, how much did they pay this time?" Li Luo became a little interested now.
"The lowest three stripes offer 55 million for 7 years, Reebok's is the friendliest, 58 million for 7 years with basically no strings attached, and Hook offers the highest price, 65 million for 7 years. Which company do you want to sign with?"
"So little?" Li Luo frowned out of habit after hearing the amount. He refused without even thinking about it.
"Isn't this satisfactory?!" Bill Duffy on the other end of the phone was dumbfounded.
This price is basically the endorsement deal that can only be signed by the top All-Star players in the league. The reason why Li Luo can get this level of price is due to his consistent performance and support in the summer league matchup with James.
These two factors are the huge Chinese market.
"How come I heard that some time ago, Gouzi gave Dayao more than 100 million endorsement deals?"
Because he and Dayao were the same manager, Li Luo deliberately brought this matter up on the phone.
Bill Duffy's blood pressure shot up when he heard this. As an American agent who knew China's national conditions very well, at some point Bill Duffy was still very shocked by Chinese-style business.
Take the current situation as an example. Faced with several high-value endorsements, Li Luo basically refused without any hesitation. This was far beyond the expectations of the Duffy team.
"Put your worries aside, Duffy!" Luo Li on the other end of the phone always sounded like an old god.
"They are not that stupid. First of all, we won my game against the Cavaliers, right? How was my performance?"
"Of course it's good, otherwise the endorsements they offer wouldn't increase so much."
Bill Duffy is telling the truth about this. Since the end of the battle with LeBron James, his cell phone has been ringing non-stop. This phenomenal performance of Lee Luo makes it almost impossible for him to lose his temper.
Every caller who comes in is asking if Luo Li has any idea of endorsing any products. This hot market has almost surpassed Li Luo's fellow countryman Dayao.
"Secondly, Bill!" Luo Li's voice on the phone paused, "How big do you think the Chinese market behind me is?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Li Luo knew that he, as an agent, knew the land of China very well. In the NBA, Bill Duffy was almost among the first group of people to set their sights on overseas China.
Such forward-looking vision and years of management allowed him to successfully win over Dayao and become his agent. He knew that China has always been a piece of meat that major sports companies are competing for. With Dayao landing in the NBA, everything about
Basketball business is booming in this magical land.
"Lee, what do you mean..." Bill Duffy had an idea in his mind at this time. This is what makes Luo Li unique.
He always creates bold ideas in people's minds, and over time they gradually come true.
"100 million. I'm not even interested in taking a look at a contract that's less than 100 million in seven years."
Bill Duffy was surprised by what Luo Li said on the other end of the phone. Then he shouted into the phone regardless of his identity:
"Are you crazy?!"
"Crazy? I don't think so. High-priced contracts happen every year, why not here?"
"No, no, no, Lee! No one would pay such a huge sum of money to sign a rookie who hasn't played a game. As your agent, I still want to advise you to calm down."
Bill Duffy has not yet recovered from the phone call just now, and is persuading Luo Li earnestly.
"In this way, 70 million, no, 75 million, we can win this number. Otherwise..."
"no!"
Li Luoyan refused succinctly.
"Bill, you haven't signed a billion-dollar deal in your life, have you?"
Luo Li's words were like the devil's whisper, constantly teasing Bill Duffy's nerves.
A billion-yuan contract! Once a deal of this amount is reached, the popularity of his agent will immediately reach the top three in the entire league.
Bill Duffy even nodded mysteriously on the other end of the phone, of course Luo Li couldn't see it.
Li Luo then continued to seduce:
"They can afford it and must pay it..."
"I am worthy of this price!"
The next morning, Bill Duffy thought he must be crazy.
After communicating with Li Luo yesterday, I actually made an appointment with Gou Zi to negotiate with Reebok's business manager today.
As for why there are no three stripes?
At this time, Adidas was busy dealing with the football market and was not that interested in the NBA.
When Bill Duffy proposed renegotiation, the three stripes directly said that it was no longer necessary, so let’s just sign or not on these terms.
Do you sign or not?!
So how can Yi Li Luo tolerate his temper? Okay, I'll just catch your spokesperson and beat him up later.
So, today only people from Hook and Reebok came.
Speaking of which, Luo Li was also evil. He deliberately arranged for two groups of people to stay in the same hotel. The American sports circle is so small, and there are not many people in charge who can sign endorsements of this magnitude. No one knows anyone.
As a result, the two groups met together and even chatted with each other.
This meeting made both Hook and Reebok raise their value to Lo Lee.
Li Luo contacted Hook first. After all, Hook offered the most at the beginning and had the best sincerity.
After hearing Li Luo's offer of 100 million, the person in charge of Hook interrupted Li Luo almost rudely and said it was impossible.
"Aren't you quite happy if you don't pay LeBron's 90 million?"
Seeing that the negotiation had reached a deadlock from the beginning, Li Luo brought up old matters again and questioned the other party.
"Why is James' situation the same as it is now!" "He is the player we have grown up watching and is destined to be a Hall of Fame player in the future!"
"I won." Li Luo's answer was simple and clear.
"Last time, I won."
"One game can't explain anything, Li. Besides, his data is much better than yours."
The person in charge of the hook calmed down after the previous excitement and persuaded Li Luo with serious words.
"Li, we are really optimistic about you. 75 million for seven years, this is our bottom line. As long as you enter the All-Stars, I guarantee that Hook will have your signature shoes."
"Let me think about it." Li Luo did not refuse directly. He basically tested the bottom line of Hook. As an American company, Hook is unlikely to go further.
Hook has withdrawn. Now it's Reebok's turn.
The relationship between Reebok and Li Luo's management team is much more harmonious. After all, Bill Duffy just earned millions of dollars from Da Yao...
As soon as the Reebok team showed up, the members shocked Li Luo.
Dayao is here!
