Guard With a Knife

~: Ninety: [Build a team]

   Together, the two professionals reached a cooperation agreement without spending any extra communication costs.

   Du Ge will cooperate with Lin Weiwei to start a sports agency.

   This brokerage company has a special structure. Regarding the management of the "Duge" brand, all commercial profits are divided into ninety-one, with Duge accounting for 90% and Lin Weiwei 10%. And the subsequent signing of other players, the profit distribution will become 73%, Lin Weiwei 70%, Du Ge 30%.

to be honest. Du Ge regards Lin Weiwei as a work assistant in the short term. What Lin Weiwei sees is long-term operation. She has no idea of ​​making money on Du Ge. She wants to use Du Ge as a springboard to build a huge brokerage company to compete with established brokerage companies such as CAA, RS, and WMG!

   Both parties are very satisfied.

   Then in the evening, Lin Weiwei helped Du Ge hold the first press conference in his life. A total of more than 36 media arrived at the press conference, of which 19 were Chinese media, 5 were from other Asian countries and regions, and the rest were American media.

   At this conference, Du Ge solemnly announced his candidacy for the NBA 2008 Draft. And once again emphasized: "The "Orange County Chronicle" reported nothing wrong, I am a point guard!"

   This emphasis made the American journalists below burst into laughter.

   They have never seen a melee point guard who carries a center forward in the paint.

   To the reporters' laughter, Du Ge did not dispute it.

   Lin Weiwei has analyzed this issue in depth with him in terms of communication and commercial value. As long as she bites herself as a point guard, it will become a propaganda point. Moreover, outside players are more likely to be favored by sponsors, especially in the field of sneakers.

   That night, Lin Weiwei told Duge that she had received quotations from Jordan, Nike and Reebok.

  The Jordan brand offers an endorsement contract with an annual salary of 300,000 yuan.

   Nike is a bit higher, with half a million dollars.

   Reebok is the highest, 700,000 US dollars.

   However, Reebok was the first to be ruled out by Lin Weiwei. This company is only one step away from bankruptcy, and it is said that Adidas has officially entered the acquisition stage.

   As for the Jordan brand, Lin Weiwei also directly crossed it out: the price is too low and there is no sincerity.

   Only Nike is left.

   "$500,000 is too little." Du Ge shook his head and said; "I heard that Derrick Rose's contract with Adidas will exceed 10 million annual salary levels. Nike's contract with Russell also exceeds 4 million annual salary."

Lin Weiwei paused for a while, and then said: "I don’t know exactly what Russell’s contract terms are. But Derrick Rose’s contract should refer to the highest annual salary he can get, which contains many triggers, such as how much he will debut. Second, selected to the All-Star rookie lineup, selected to the rookie first team, led the team into the playoffs... etc."

   "It is equivalent to a guarantee contract?" Du Ge asked rhetorically.

   Lin Weiwei nodded: "Yes, the guarantee contract."

   "Then I will also sign a guarantee contract." Doug said firmly: "It is best to trigger a higher reward, the better."

"Okay, I'll talk for you. But before that, we have to fix our company." Lin Weiwei said with a smile: "And we have to put the registration place in the Virgin Islands. We have to reduce the tax to lowest."

   "You go to the operation." Du Ge nodded: "Also, help me get enough endorsement contracts as soon as possible. I need to use these contracts to go to the bank for mortgage loans."

   "Mortgage loan? Why?" Lin Weiwei asked.

   Du Ge did not answer directly, only talking about personal matters.

  ……

   Early the next morning, Du Ge received a call from across the ocean. Du Kefeng told Du Ge on the other end that he had seen the news. He is very proud that the old Du family can produce an NBA player to make him proud. At the same time, he encouraged Doug to take good care of himself in the United States, play basketball well, and win glory for the country.

   Hearing Du Ge's cheerful words on the phone, Du Ge felt inexplicably sad. He thought to himself, Dad really encountered difficulties, otherwise how could he support me in playing basketball? Didn't he always want me to be an elite of Wall Street?

   So, he said: "Dad, I will be an NBA player right now. I can earn tens of millions of yuan a year or more. Tell me, how big is your current funding gap? I'll help you figure out a solution."

"Hahahaha." Du Kefeng laughed heartily on the other side of the phone: "It really is my good son. Dad was still moving bricks on the construction site when he was 20 years old. You don't have to worry about Dad here. Thousands of things, I can settle with just two calls. Don’t listen to the rumors outside. The places I shot in Beijing two years ago are all rising like a rocket. You, hit your ball and become The second Yao Huang~lightnovelpub.net~ wins glory for the country!"

  Duge silently remembered tens of millions of things here. He thought to himself that Lao Du must have a strong face and smile now, how else would he let his mother come back into the entertainment circle? And he doesn't talk about me when I play basketball. Shouldn't he yell at him because of his personality?

   I have to prepare at least 100 million.

   Du Ge squeezed his fist.

   After chatting for a while, the two hung up.

   After washing up, Edward called. He told Doug that the Orlando training camp had issued an official invitation to him. In mid-May, Doug could go directly to Orlando. At that time, there will be a large number of team scouts to inspect the players. Popular rookies will then receive trial invitations from various teams. Then, just wait for the arrival of the NBA Draft.

In addition, he also told Dugger: "The general manager of the Golden State Warriors also called me recently. It sounds like their head coach Sr. Nelson appreciates you very much. It is expected that they will send you a formal trial after the end of the season. invite."

   Du Ge nodded.

   Now all the matters of contact with NBA teams have been handed over to Edward, a senior independent scout, who has accumulated a lot of contacts in this area.

   As for the commercial liaison activities, Lin Weiwei handles it.

   Both are professionals, which makes this team full of competitiveness!

   At noon, Du Ge received a call from Lao Duan. The Lao Duan told him that CCTV wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with him. The level was very high, and it might even appear on the news network.

   Du Ge immediately agreed. Nothing can increase visibility more than news networking.

  Moreover, this will be the perfect opportunity for him to increase his commercial offer: I have been on the news network, Nike, are you embarrassed to fool me with a $500,000 contract?
