The yellow storm in the NBA

A week later, my uncle came to Texas with his two cousins, Quan Lei and Quan Jun. They had not seen each other for almost a year, and everyone was very happy to see them again.

Quan Xiao discovered that his two cousins ​​had grown taller and stronger. Quan Xiao's current height is 205cm with bare feet and almost 208cm with shoes. Quan Jun's height is visually estimated to be around 195cm. You must know that he is only 16 years old now. And

Quan Lei, who is two months younger than Quan Xiao, has reached a height of over 210cm. According to visual inspection, he is 213cm.

Quan Xiao drove to the rental place while talking to his uncle and two cousins. Fortunately, Quan Xiao bought an off-road vehicle, otherwise it would have been uncomfortable to sit at the height of the three brothers.

"Xiao Lei, I have already made an agreement with Coach Barnes, and he has also secured a full scholarship for you. All you need to do is complete the admission procedures. Xiao Jun, your matter is relatively more troublesome.

I have to go to the school for an interview. Is there no problem with your English? Is it okay to have a simple communication?"

"No problem, brother. Sister Ying put a lot of effort into letting us learn English before. Basic communication is now difficult for us," Quan Jun replied.

"That's good. Also, how are your basketball skills now? Have you persisted in training? You have to lay a solid foundation."

"Don't worry, brother, we have followed your instructions and have not fallen behind in basic training at all."

"That's good! If you want to play well and make a lot of money, you have to train hard. As long as you can train hard, you will definitely be able to enter the NBA and make a lot of money in the future. I tell you, I will be able to sign a big contract soon.

Guess how much it is."

"One million!" Quan Jun answered first. In his heart, one million was already a large amount of money.

"I think it's at least 10 million U.S. dollars!" Quan Lei is two years older than Quan Jun after all, and his knowledge is a little better, but it is also limited.

"At least 80 million US dollars, of course for 5 years, but this is just the first contract. If I play well in the NBA, the subsequent contracts will be even bigger."

"And this is just a sneaker endorsement. I won't talk about other advertising endorsements. You can ask my uncle how many companies in China are waving checks and want me to endorse them. So as long as you train hard and play well, you can earn a lot of money in the future.

Big money is easy."

Quan Xiao's words shocked the two cousins. They couldn't imagine that they could make so much money just by playing basketball. This made them more determined to play basketball well.

As for my uncle, as a member of the brokerage team, of course he knew all this, so he didn’t have any feelings. Of course he had it and had already passed it.

"By the way, uncle, my cousin will be in junior high school soon, right? Have you ever thought about letting him study in the United States?"

Quan Xiao remembered that his cousin in his previous life was over 190cm tall and also loved basketball. However, he failed to become a professional player because he did not receive systematic training.

Now if he could receive more systematic training earlier, he might be able to reach the level of a professional player.

"He will be in the first grade of junior high school in the second half of the year. It may not be mature to let him come here now. Let's wait for a year and see what he thinks when we go back. Also, your aunt may not be willing to let him come out so early. She is worried.

"

"Yes, but I think my cousin's foundation should be very good. Coming to the United States to study in high school may be of great help to him in the future. And there will be people taking care of him when he comes here, so don't worry about that."

"Well, I'll go back and discuss it with your aunt. Previously, I was considering letting your brother come to the United States to study, but I wanted to wait until he graduated from college. Since you are here now, it would be a good idea to let him come to study in high school."

While talking, they arrived at the apartment Quan Xiao rented. After parking the car, Quan Xiao took the three of them back to his rented place. Quan Ying prepared a meal at home to welcome them.

After eating, they washed up and let them rest. After all, they were very tired after more than ten hours of flying. Quan Xiao and Quan Ying discussed the sneaker endorsement contract together.

"After we negotiated with the two companies, both companies gave their final quotations. Nike's final quotation was 60 million over five years, while Adidas agreed to our request of 80 million over five years."

"Of course both companies agree with the incentive mechanism we proposed. Nike is unwilling to compromise on price. The most they can offer is 60 million."

"Then just sign Adidas. It seems that Nike won't give me too many resources. After all, they have James and they signed Kevin this year. They may not be so enthusiastic about me."

"Adidas is different. They are eager to make further progress in the basketball shoe market, and currently they do not have enough stars. Relatively speaking, I will be able to obtain more promotion efforts and resources."

"Okay, then I will discuss the details with Xiaoxiao, and then make an appointment with Adi to sign the contract."

"By the way, has Xiaojun's school been found? Decide on the school early and let him resume training as soon as possible. I don't know what the results of their training this year will be."

"The school has been decided. Weili Middle School is right here in Houston. It's relatively convenient. I enrolled him as a day student and he doesn't have to live in the school."

"That's okay. We can live here anyway. We'll change places next year depending on the situation. It's best to find a big enough place with a gym and an indoor basketball court for easy training."

"Let's talk about this next year. We don't have enough money now. There are many places where we need to spend money. At least I think our team needs to recruit a few more people."

"Well, you can figure this out. When Xiaolei, Xiaojun and others enter the NBA, you will be even more busy. However, we can also try to set up an agency and sign some players to operate it.

But it’s a good business.”

As he was talking, my sister's phone suddenly rang.

"It's a call from the staff at Adi. Maybe they're here to confirm our attitude. I'll give them a reply." My sister picked up the phone and went to the balcony. After talking for about ten minutes, she came back.

living room.

"Make an appointment with them to hold a press conference next Tuesday, and then announce the news of our signing. It will be held here in Houston."

"They are thoughtful and save us the troublesome trip. At least they are more sincere than Nike, but they will definitely not suffer."

"There's nothing else for now. I'm going to buy groceries later. If you don't need the car, just give me the key."

"Let's go together. It just so happens that I also need to buy some things and prepare some things for the two of them." Quan Xiao said as he stood up, took the car keys, opened the door and walked out, while his sister followed him out.

Home door.

Quan Lei and Quan Jun, who were asleep indoors, were looking forward to their new life in their sleep!
