Chapter 160 How Much Do You Give Me
Early the next morning, news came from Xia Jiuli.
He contacted the two companies last night and invited their representatives to come to Qinglian Market for an interview.
The other party happily agreed, and Xia Jiuli set one of the time to tomorrow and the other to the day after tomorrow.
Yi Dun was definitely very satisfied with the arrangement of Xia Jiuli. Although Xia Jiuli was not old, she was very mature in doing things, which was much more thoughtful than Yi Dun thought.
...
Xia Jiuli first made an appointment with Nike, after all, she had dealt with them many times.
This interview cannot be said to be a signing negotiation, and it may only be a first test between the two sides.
In the five-star hotel suite in Qinglian City, Yidun met a representative of Nike.
One is a middle-aged white foreigner, and the other is two Chinese, one man and one woman.
"Hello, Mr. Yi Dun." After seeing Yi Dun, the man and woman stepped forward and smiled and shook hands.
"Let me introduce you to Mr. Richard as the representative of our meeting."
Yi Dun looked at the white foreigner, and the other party smiled and gave Yi Dun a hug.
After Yi Dun and Xia Jiuli sat down, the meeting officially began.
A Chinese man may be the foreigner's assistant, while that woman may be the translator's role.
The foreigner talked a lot, and the female translator began to translate.
It is nothing more than praising Yi Dun's talent in track and field. Nike has been paying attention to Yi Dun's trends, hoping that after this meeting, the two sides can reach a cooperation and such clichés.
This foreigner didn't actually talk nonsense. Nike has been paying attention to Yi Dun.
But this attention is their workflow. As long as they are slightly more eye-catching young athletes, they are concerned, not because Yidun receives any special attention.
After yesterday's decathlon competition, Yi Dun received special attention. After watching the game, Nike immediately contacted Xia Jiuli, which led to the current meeting.
Listening to the other party saying a lot of nonsense, Yi Dun's face became impatient.
I don’t have so much time to listen to nonsense, so it’s better to be straight to the point with pleasure.
"How much do you give me?" Yi Dun asked slowly as he looked at the female translator.
Xia Jiuli, who was standing beside him, almost vomited blood...
Today is not a negotiation, it’s just a meeting. Yi Dun asked so directly, isn’t it great?
The female translator was also stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Yi Dun to suddenly ask such a question.
She translated Yi Dun's words to Richard, but Richard looked calm and might have encountered such things many times.
Richard was at the female translator's five fingers, and then he heard the female translator say.
"Mr. Yidun, we are willing to provide you with a contract fee of 500,000 yuan per year. Based on your performance on the field, we will also formulate some relevant rewards. For example, if you win a gold medal in the Olympics, we will give additional rewards, or if you break the world record, there will be additional rewards."
"We can further discuss the specific reward rules." The female translator said quite politely.
Yi Dun frowned, and his heart was already a little annoyed.
Five hundred thousand? After all the time, it was still the price of begging for food. Yi Dun felt that he was insulted.
Standing up directly, Yi Dun was about to take Xia Jiuli away.
Since there is no sincerity, there is nothing to talk about.
"Don't compare me with Liu Xiang in 2003. Liu Xiang in 2003 just broke the Asian record. You got a flaw at that time."
"How are you so embarrassed to say these 500,000?" Yi Dun said quite unhappily.
An athlete can only sign one sports brand, and the endorsement contract of this sports brand is the majority of the athlete's income. Yi Dun will definitely not agree to the endorsement fee of only 500,000, unless his mind is in the water.
Seeing Yi Dun being angry about to leave, the female translator immediately became anxious, "Sorry, Mr. Yi Dun, I didn't explain it clearly. I said 500,000 US dollars."
Yi Dun frowned, "Five hundred thousand US dollars?"
"Not even 500,000 US dollars, it's just less than 4 million yuan!"
"As for the reward measures you mentioned, there is no specific plan now, and I don't think your rewards will be very sincere."
Yi Dun said to the female translator without any mercy.
Xia Jiuli, who was standing beside him, was shocked. He never expected that Yi Dun was so domineering.
Originally, he thought that he was older than Yi Dun, so that the meeting was led by himself and he would negotiate with the other party.
Unexpectedly, I couldn't use it at all, so Yi Dun did it by himself.
...
"Mr. Yi Dun, Mr. Richard said that the endorsement fee can be negotiated. There is a saying in China that haste will not be achieved. We can sit down and discuss it slowly."
"The main purpose of our meeting this time is not negotiations, but mainly to meet Mr. Yi Dun and promote relationships." After chatting with Richard, the female translator said to Yi Dun with a smile.
This is even more irritating to Yi Dunlai.
What does haste mean to be unable to achieve? Who has the time to sit down and talk to you slowly?
It's only 500,000 US dollars, no exaggeration at all, there are a large number of domestic manufacturers who are willing to offer higher prices than this one.
"Then we have nothing to say." Yi Dun stood up and left his seat unhappily, and took Xia Jiuli away.
"What the hell is this Nike? Didn't they say they are the world's largest sports brand? Why are they so stingy?" Yi Dun asked Xia Jiuli speechlessly after leaving.
"Hey, Nike's main business is not track and field. Their most profitable business is actually a basketball-related industry."
"Nike can pay tens of millions of dollars a year for those top basketball players!"
"And there are more than one or two big contracts like Nike." Xia Jiuli whispered.
"He is so kind to me, I'm still a top track and field athlete, why should I give me 500,000 US dollars?" Yi Dun was very dissatisfied.
"What about Adidas? They are not the main basketball industry, right?" Yi Dun asked with a frown.
Xia Jiuli waved his hand, "Adi thought too, after all, basketball can really make a lot of money, it's much more money than track and field."
"But now Adidas can't beat Nike in basketball. They may be shifting their energy to other aspects now. I think the contract they gave will definitely be much richer than Nike," Xia Jiuli explained.
Yi Dun nodded. If Adidas were so stingy, Yi Dun would simply not sign and find a domestic manufacturer to endorse it.
At ten o'clock the next morning, Yi Dun met with Adid again.
Not to mention anything else, the number of people present at Adidas alone seems to be much more sincere than Nike.
