All members of the Thunder team were on the bus heading to the airport.

They just finished playing the game.

Next, I have to go back and prepare for the home game against the Nets.

Westbrook also caught this news about Lin Ri.

He immediately handed it to James Harden behind his seat: "James, this should be your college teammate, right? This guy did something big today!"

College teammates?

the sun?

James Harden was closing his eyes to rest. Hearing Westbrook say this to him, he curiously came over to take a look - "The "Bomber" suddenly appeared in Phoenix. The No. 1 pick in 2009 scored 22 points, 20 rebounds and led the team with 30

Beat the Clippers by more than 10 points.》

Wait a moment……

James Harden saw this title and subconsciously reached into his pocket.

I'll turn off my phone first.

The Thunder also just ended their opening game against the Spurs tonight. James Harden played 13 minutes and 19 seconds and contributed 4 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 foul and 2 turnovers... The performance was very poor. If it were compared to Lin Ri

If these data are compared together, it can be described as a complete mess.

He hasn't found a way to exist on this team yet.

On a night like this, it's obviously not a wise choice to leave your cell phone on, because there's no chance that someone's phone will call you at any time.

As for someone asking him afterwards why he couldn't get through on the phone, well, he had already thought of the reason... I was on the plane.

In fact, James Harden is really worrying too much. Even if Lin Ri wanted to call him tonight, he wouldn't have time.

Since Lin Ri performed so well in this game, there were so many reporters wanting to interview him. Until 10:30 in the evening, there were still reporters waiting for Lin Ri in the locker room.

Another thing, for today’s opening match, there are some exclusive interviews that I have to take.

I was busy like this until 11 o'clock in the evening, when Lin Rifang ended the interview.

But it's not over yet.

His agent team is waiting for him to do something big together!

"I've finished my work here, how are you following up?"

Lin Ri got in the car and immediately confirmed the latest progress of the plan with Chris in the driver's seat.

Chris nodded: "The Nike representative has already said that they will officially announce the signing with us at 12 o'clock. We can just follow their promotion then. We have also followed up on the subsequent media reports, sun

, you just need to remember to forward the official announcement from Nike, and leave the rest to us."

Lin Ri has signed a contract with Nike. This morning...

As for why I finally signed with Nike.

That started after Lin Ri and Chris met Michael Jordan yesterday.

The two of them went back to discuss with the entire team. In fact, they were already leaning towards signing a contract with Jordan. However, when Lin Ri nodded and Chris was about to send a message to Jordan's representative, this guy suddenly didn't know what was going on and came over scratching his head.

"How about I ask my dad!"

This sentence made the whole team stunned for a moment, and Lin Ri was also stunned for a moment.

They all know that Chris doesn't have a good relationship with his father, and he usually doesn't even say a word to his father.

At this moment, he actually wanted to call his dad.

"Mainly, I'm not sure if this is the best plan, the sun, I want you to get the maximum benefit." Chris looked at Lin Ri when he said this, his expression was much brighter than when he asked Lin Ri to let him be

You should also be careful when acting as a broker.

As for the reason... Chris himself knows it very well.

At first it was just to anger his father, but now he really started to think about Lin Ri.

Lin Ri nodded: "Okay, then just ask."

After Lin Ri signed Chris, Chris's girlfriend Britney didn't know what he had in mind. She told him through the phone that Chris' team was actually formed by his father, Williams.

.

So Lin Ri didn't mind Chris calling his dad at the moment.

To put it bluntly, Chris is working for his father.

To say that this ginger is indeed old and spicy, Chris spent more than ten minutes on the phone. When he came back, his thinking was obviously much clearer, and he talked endlessly...

"Man, we can't agree to Michael Jordan. We should take the contract he gave us and ask Nike and Adidas if they are willing to sign with us at this price..."

"In addition, Michael Jordan ruined Phoenix's championship in 1993. Although it doesn't make Phoenix fans hate him so much, if you become AJ's spokesperson to help him make money, Phoenix fans will think about their future core.

AJ’s spokesperson will feel uncomfortable to some extent.”

"If we sign with another brand, and then take this matter to the next level, and actively put ourselves on the opposite side of Michael Jordan, and create the atmosphere that we gave up signing with Michael Jordan because of Phoenix, I think this can easily be done.

We gain the favor of Phoenix fans, which will help you become a city hero in this city as soon as possible, which can enhance your business value in Phoenix, just like Yao's restaurant can open 9 branches in Houston, one of which must be the same as Yao's in Houston

The hero is inseparable from the relationship... well, the

Sun, I am stupid, I wonder if you can understand what I mean?"

Lin Ri did not answer him, but looked at the other agents, who all nodded thoughtfully.

It doesn't matter whether he understands it or not, as long as these guys understand it!

After all, they are the executors.

Of course, he did understand it and could hear its feasibility.

To put it bluntly, it is to stand on the opposite side of Jordan, who once "offended" the Phoenix people, so as to win the favor of Phoenix fans earlier and increase his commercial value in Phoenix...

"You can try it!" Lin Ri nodded.

Although he believes that he can become a hero of this city in the future with his abilities, he does not need to deliberately market himself.

But to make money early, of course, you have to make money early. It is definitely a good thing to develop commercial value early.

No one will think that they make money too early.

Moreover, there are four or five sports teams in Phoenix, and the NBA is not the leader in sports events in the United States. If you want to compete with other sports stars for local business resources, you have to do something a little different...

When Chris saw Lin Ri nodding again, he immediately went to work with the agents on the team.

They contacted Nike, Reebok, Adidas and other giants respectively, and revealed to them the news that "Michael Jordan wants to sign Lin Ri with a five-year, 70 million contract to endorse".

Soon, these sneaker giants all responded, with Nike and Reebok being the most active.

The reason why Reebok is positive is that they already have Yao Ming. If they can also sign Lin Ri, it will be a very critical step for them to occupy the Chinese market.

The reason why Nike is active is because they have long had plans for Lin Ri.

They had actually wanted to sign Lin Ri for a long time, but just when they were about to take action, Michael Jordan said, "I must get the Sun." They didn't dare to grab him, so they kept silent.

This is not the first time. This is how Michael Jordan acquired Carmelo Anthony.

Now it's just another time.

I didn’t expect that!

They didn't look for Lin Ri, but Lin Ri actually took the initiative to look for them.

Then you can't blame the brothers for not being human.

The "sister-in-law" is really so charming!

The Nike team responded positively.

Among these two brands, Lin Ri finally chose Nike. This was also based on long-term considerations. Compared with Reebok, Nike is obviously on the rise.

So this morning, Lin Ri met with Nike representatives and signed a five-year, 65 million contract.

It looks like 5 million less than the contract offered by Michael Jordan.

But in fact, it is not less. This 5 million was added to the invisible clause at the request of Lin Ri's management team. It is an additional reward that needs to meet certain conditions to be triggered. However, the conditions for triggering this part of the reward are very simple. Lin Ridu

The kind that can be completed automatically without the need for deliberate attention.

And they also asked the Nike team not to disclose the existence of these 5 million in any way.

Although the Nike representatives were puzzled, once they wanted to ask the reason, Chris took out his cell phone and prepared to call the Reebok representatives, which made them agree not to reveal the existence of the 5 million.

Should we publicly lose the opportunity to sign Lin Ri for these 5 million?

They don't have such stupid ideas.

After signing the contract, the two parties discussed the time for the official announcement, and finally set it at 12 o'clock tonight.

Now, there is less than an hour left before Nike officially launches the official announcement.

Lin Ri and Chris made final confirmations.

Chris still has a lot to do in the future, and Lin Ri only needs to use his Twitter to forward the official announcement from Nike...
To be continued...
