I believe many people are familiar with Huawei’s struggle.
Wang Yi naturally wants to support such enterprises.
As for reputation, if it’s gone, we’ll get it back.
The NBA is a league where the strong respects the strong. How many people have fought back after losing their reputation?
Kobe is back;
James called back;
Durant also called back.
Wang Yi believes that one day, he will fight back!
Rowling then reminded:
"Although your interview last night didn't cause a big fuss, it may lower the price when negotiating the contract."
Wang Yi nodded: "Well, it's very possible that if something like that happens, I can understand that they want to lower the price. We'll see then."
So that afternoon, Wang Yi flew back to Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, inside a hotel in Los Angeles.
A middle-aged man who looked about forty years old and wore glasses was sitting on the sofa, carefully reviewing the first draft of the contract in his hand.
This person is Zhang Hongwei, Marketing Director of Huawei China Region.
He carefully looked at the terms of the contract and occasionally gave suggestions for modifications.
The assistant next to me was holding a notebook and jotting down these comments one by one, intending to revise them later.
After Zhang Hongwei read the entire contract, the assistant breathed a sigh of relief, made a cup of tea and handed it over, saying:
"Director, in fact, when talking about advertising, you can just send any manager from the marketing department to come. If you have to show respect, you can also let the director of the marketing department come to talk. There is no need for you to make this trip yourself."
Zhang Hongwei put the tea cup on the coffee table next to him and gently rubbed the corners of his eyes:
"We are so suppressed now that many people even think that we have withdrawn from the North American market. The North American market is also a big cake, so we urgently need to increase our visibility in the North American market and show our presence. This requires the blessing of stars."
The assistant still didn’t quite understand: “Wouldn’t it be better to ask a celebrity from North America to endorse it? Although we can’t find one at the moment, I believe that as long as we show enough sincerity, we will definitely find a suitable celebrity.”
Zhang Hongwei looked out the window at the coastline:
"The United States is currently suppressing us, and it is difficult to find celebrities willing to accept our endorsements. On the contrary, Wang Yi is a Chinese, we are fighting against the United States, and he is also working hard to break prejudice. This coincides with our current situation.
So it is undoubtedly the most appropriate thing to invite him."
"Personally, I also want to meet a star with such a distinctive personality."
"But he is too easy to cause trouble. First he made wild claims about conquering the NBA, and then he said such words yesterday. His reputation here is not very good."
Zhang Hongwei shook his head and took a sip of tea:
"You have to look at the background of these two things. The reason for the wild talk about conquering the NBA is because the reporter has been stirring up trouble; the reason for the fan's actions yesterday was because he insulted his teammates and China. These two things
There was nothing wrong with what he did, and he actually had a lot of character.”
"We can first use him to open up the Chinese market here. Once he slowly breaks out, we can further expand the market."
"Director, do you believe so much that he can do it? It's not easy for the Chinese to do it here. Since Yao Ming, almost twenty years have passed, and no one has been able to do it."
Zhang Hongwei thought for a while and said:
"I think he was able to play because of the energy in him to compete with the Chinese people."
"What if something unexpected happens in the meantime? For example, injuries, which are the natural enemies of athletes."
Zhang Hongwei said: "There are risks in doing anything. And I think the risk of investing money in him is much smaller than investing in the so-called top little fresh meat. At least you can see that he is trying to become more
Okay. What about the little fresh meat? In addition to making money, isn't it a lot more risky to choose a concubine after drinking and drinking all day long? "
The assistant nodded: "I thought it was too simple."
…
That afternoon, Wang Yi and Luo Lin arrived at the hotel.
After the two parties got to know each other, Zhang Hongwei handed over the contract.
Rowling and Wang Yi carefully examined the terms of the contract.
There seems to be no problem with the terms.
But when they saw the contract amount, both of them were stunned.
"80 million in 5 years?"
Although Wang Yi is very sure, as long as the playoffs are over, his value will definitely skyrocket.
But with his current reputation and his trouble-making temper, it's simply not worth the price.
Rowling had warned him before that the other party might lower the price because he had just caused trouble.
I didn't expect there would be so many.
Zhang Hongwei smiled: "Why, are you not satisfied with the amount? Then we can talk again."
Wang Yi shook his head: "No, I'm just a little surprised, am I worth so much?"
The contract is not just 80 million on the surface.
There are additional terms at the end.
Additional clause 1: If Party B reaches two All-Star Games during the contract period, the endorsement fee will be increased by 10 million.
Additional clause 2: If Party B reaches the finals twice as a core player during the contract period, the endorsement fee will be increased by 10 million.
Additional clause 3: If Party B wins the championship once as a core player during the contract period, the endorsement fee will be increased by 30 million.
Note: The amounts of the above additional terms can be stacked.
In other words, if Wang Yi meets all the conditions, the total contract amount will reach 130 million!
Of course, reaching the finals twice in five years and winning a championship are quite difficult.
It also depends on luck.
But Wang Yi, who has the system in place, is quite confident about winning the championship within five years.
As for reaching two All-Stars in five years, this is very simple for him.
As long as he maintains this performance, he will definitely be an All-Star next season.
When Zhang Hongwei saw that Wang Yi was not hiding anything, he half-jokingly said:
"It seems like a lot now, but it's likely that it won't be long before many people think it's a cabbage price."
The assistant and Luo Lin next to him looked at each other in confusion.
When negotiating a contract, you should generally try to benefit yourself as much as possible, and you should never speak your mind.
Even if the price far exceeds one's psychological expectations, one has to pretend to be calm on the surface, or even say that the price is so-so.
In the end, the two of them were very good. Not only did they say unfavorable things to themselves, but they also put their true thoughts on the table.
Have you ever negotiated a contract like this?
In fact, Wang Yi has a certain understanding of Zhang Hongwei and knows that he also has a forthright temper.
Zhang Hongwei also has a good impression of Wang Yi through his recent understanding of him.
So the contract is settled as soon as the negotiation is over.
That afternoon, both parties carefully checked the contract again.
Some terms have been slightly modified.
We went back to our rooms in the evening and studied every clause carefully.
At noon the next day, the two sides met again.
After Wang Yi confirmed that there were no problems with the contract, he signed and pledged it.
Chapter completed!
