The King of the NBA

"Ning Yi, Coca-Cola and Pepsi have been in contact with me for a while." Downey said: "I screened these two according to your wishes, and then selected them. They are also very sincere, and the information given by Coca-Cola The contract is $9 million for three years, and the contract offered by PepsiCo is $6.5 million for two years."

"Oh?" Ning Yi frowned and laughed, "Let's talk about Pepsi first."

Coca-Cola gave 8 million U.S. dollars for three years. In Ning Yi's expectation, it was considered more sincere, with an average of more than 2 million a year, which was almost the same as Ning Yi's salary in the Timberwolves.

But what really surprised Ning Yi was that Pepsi actually offered a price of 6.5 million U.S. dollars for two years, an average of 3.25 million U.S. dollars a year.

Of course, Pepsi's extra $250,000 is second. The key is that they gave a 2-year contract, which proves that they know that Ning Yi doesn't want to sign a multi-year contract, and they don't have the mentality to take advantage.

"Well, I also think the Pepsi contract is more appropriate." Downey finally stopped insisting on asking Ning Yi to sign a multi-year contract, and his concept began to change, "Pepsi has a great influence, not much inferior to Coca-Cola. And, they only It was signed for two years, but an offer of 6.5 million was given, which is higher than Coca-Cola.”

Ning Yi nodded, thought for a while, and asked again: "Are there any other options?"

"Yes." Downey replied, changing his tone, "However, the other companies are not as suitable as these two companies. Either the quotation is too low, or the service life is too long, or it is an unknown small company. Some trivial issues are hard to say. , there is no way to make people feel at ease."

Some small companies may offer higher quotations, and some even give the spokesperson part of the shares, but the prospects of small companies are unpredictable, and there are many unknown factors.

Therefore, most NBA players still like to sign contracts with large companies. Those who sign contracts with small companies either have confidence in the company and own part of the shares as investments; or they have no choice.

Ning Yi is not very interested in investment for the time being, so he is not too keen on the shares of small companies. As far as he is concerned, it is a better choice to sign a contract with a large company such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi.

"Donnie." Ning Yi said: "Just Pepsi."

Downey's eyes lit up, but he couldn't hide his joy after all. He laughed, "Okay, then Pepsi. I'll contact them as soon as possible to finalize the details of the contract. It will be done in a few days."

"Don't worry." Ning Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "I decided to sign with Pepsi, but I'm not in a hurry to sign immediately. I don't mind waiting a little longer. You know, I just became the team's starter not long ago."

"Oh." Donnie was stunned, and said to himself, it's no wonder that Pepsi and Keke people have called him seven or eight times in the past two days. The feelings are all because of this. data, can they not be in a hurry?

With Ning Yi firmly in the starting lineup, his status in the team, his positioning on the court, playing time, opportunities to play, etc. have all improved by not a little bit.

This also means that Ning Yi may be able to play better.

Once Ning Yi can play better, and even maintain an average of 20+ per game, his popularity and influence will surge, and when he is invited to speak for him, the cost will also soar.

So Coke and Pepsi are in a hurry.

"You can grasp this time yourself, and you don't have to delay it for too long." Ning Yi said again: "But there is one thing, I only sign a one-year contract, and the details of the contract can be relaxed, but I only sign for one year. As for the contract As for the amount, you can go and talk with the other side, and you can decide, I have no objection."

"One year." Downey frowned, quickly understood, and said with a wry smile, "Ning, you don't mean to sign a contract with any company for only one year, do you?"

"Of course." Ning Yi shrugged, "Why not?"

Downey was speechless and didn't know what to say, but he knew that since Ning Yi had made his decision, there was no need to change it, no matter how many endorsement contracts he would lose for it, this was the only way to go.

Later, Downey took out some of the endorsement contracts he had screened out and introduced them to Ning Yi, who screened them again.

These contracts are various, and there are many companies that invite Ning Yi to speak for them, including sports brands, including Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, and some domestic brands in China. But Adidas can only do useless work. He has been sentenced to death by Ning Yi, but Downey can't say it directly.

Plus, car companies, fashion apparel, luxury watches, and more.

After some discussion, Ning Yi and Downey selected some, but Ning Yi is not in a hurry, he can wait a little longer and come one by one, anyway, he is not short of money now.

After these were over, Ning Yi sent Downey away, rested for two or three hours, had dinner, and then went to the arena for his evening training.

Compared with endorsement, Ning Yi cares more about his own strength, strength is the fundamental, as long as the strength is improved, do you still worry about endorsement?

The next day, Ning Yi returned to the team and will fly to San Antonio with his teammates.

Seeing Ning Yi, all the generals of the Timberwolves had weird eyes, which made Ning Yi feel puzzled and touched his face. What's going on? Is there a flower on my face, or is it handsome again?

"Ning, congratulations." Martin came over and said to Ning Yi.

Behind, Rubio, Pekovic, Brewer and others also spoke one after another, and what they said made Ning Yi inexplicable and confused.

"Ning, it's really you."

"I really envy you."

"How wonderful people are, how powerful they are."

Ning Yi is enlightened, what is the situation, why can't I understand?

In the end, Barea said, "It would be great if I were from Huaxia, maybe I could also be an All-Star." Hearing this sentence, Ning Yi suddenly understood that this year's New Orleans All-Star Game, it seems that the first round of voting results will be announced today, right? Could it be that my vote count is high?

In fact, Ning Yi also paid attention to the All-Star voting. As an NBA player, who wouldn't want to participate in the All-Star Game? Even if it's not for fame, it's for profit.

The nba has regulations, get the mvp of the regular season, enter the first team of the best lineup, the second team, become the best defensive player, enter the all-star lineup, etc. If they can get these honors, when they sign the next contract, it is Those who have the opportunity to get the top salary are all beautiful knives!

Ning Yi has paid attention to it, but found that his votes are not that impressive. There are only a dozen in the western frontcourt, and only the top three in the western frontcourt can enter the All-Star starting lineup. His chances are not great.

So Ning Yi didn't pay much attention later.

But seeing the reaction of his teammates, Ning Yi couldn't help but his heart beat faster.
