Chapter 893 Don't Come To Me Without One Billion
Xie Kai returned to the United States on July 7, and signed his name on his three-year contract.After the official signing, everything was completely settled, and the hearts of Thunder fans were officially put in their stomachs.
Xie Kai has not formally met with Nike executives. In fact, he has not met with any star merchants. All meetings are handled by his agent team.
Obviously, Nike made a lot of money in Xie Kai's last contract. It is basically impossible for them to continue to renew the contract at such a low price.
They want to lower the price, but there are many competitors who can raise the price.If you play the emotional card, it's obvious that Xie Kai doesn't take it.
This is a commercial society. If you want to squeeze my wool, first prove whether you are the only company in the market.If not, sorry, I can choose not to work with you.
Xie Kai's trick of "playing hard to get" is very slippery.He actually wants to renew his contract with Nike. Whether it is Adidas or Under Armor, there is a gap between the company and Nike in terms of company size or R&D strength.If a superstar of his level does not sign a contract with the biggest company, it is indeed impossible to maximize the commercial value to some extent.
But if you want to sign me at a low price, don't even think about it. Anyway, I am also No.1 in the NBA at the moment, no matter in terms of achievements or popularity.Nike is not stupid. It will not let such a superstar not renew his contract, and sign some young people who have not yet made a name for themselves or ordinary All-Stars.
Nike has the largest number of superstars in the NBA, including Xie Kai, James, Durant, as well as retired Jordan and Kobe.
If Xie Kai went to Adi or Under Armor, it would change the current situation.Adidas currently has Harden and Lillard under his account. If Xie Kai is added, it will properly compete with Nike.Under Armor can be regarded as an upstart, with MVP Curry under its banner, and Xie Kai, it is also a proper rise.
For Nike, signing Xie Kai is the most important operation of the group in the NBA in the past 10 years. No matter how much they pay, they must win Xie Kai!
Nike's top executives have issued a death order, can the officials below not execute it?
Xie Kai felt that as his contract expired, Nike's offensive became stronger and stronger.Instead, he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai platform and did not agree or not. Instead, he kept asking his agent to talk to Nike, and at the same time, he did not reject contact with Adi and Under Armour.
Xie Kai has the capital to make such an open selection, because he is currently the most popular player in the NBA, and everyone wants to sign him.
Nike has already had heavy operations before.In 2015, they signed a lifetime contract with James totaling more than 6 million US dollars!
Prior to this, in 2013, Nike and Durant at the time signed a 10-year contract with a total value of 3 million US dollars, which was ranked first in history at the time.
Also in 2015, Harden and Adidas signed a 13-year, $2 million contract.
After Xie Kai hung out with Nike for more than a month, their offer was a total of 1 million in 10 years.
Of course, this contract has surpassed Durant and Harden's, second only to James' lifetime contract.
But Xie Kaifang's attitude is not acceptable!
Nike was deflated, but they flinched so easily.The two sides are still in the game, and it is obvious that Xie Kai occupies an absolute dominant position.
On the last day of July, Xie Kai and Zhou Jing drank a bottle of red wine from the 7s at their home in Los Angeles, USA, and lived a happy life.
Zhou Jing's cheeks were flushed, and she smiled slightly: "Thank you boss, I really want to know, how much is the contract amount from Nike before you accept it?"
Xie Kai did not answer directly: "In fact, they still don't know me well enough. Of course I don't think I have too much money, but I am not short of money. For me, money is often just a number. But their performance last year, let I do not like."
Of course Zhou Jing knows that Xie Kai is not bragging. Xie Kai's current net worth has exceeded 5 million U.S. dollars, and his ability to absorb money is extremely strong. Now according to his trend, his annual income is conservatively estimated to be more than 1 million U.S. dollars.
Xie Kai continued: "If they had paid more attention to me before, maybe I wouldn't make it difficult for them in the contract. But now, I just want to make it difficult for them and let them know that I am the only one in this alliance. The person with the strongest ability to absorb money!"
Zhou Jing compared an "8", meaning 8 million, but Xie Kai still shook his head.
"10 billion, if it reaches this amount, I will sign it!" Xie Kai replied very calmly.
"10 billion?" Zhou Jing never thought that Xie Kai's appetite was so big.You must know that Nike has never given such a big contract to any NBA superstar!However, considering the relationship of the times, money was much more valuable in Jordan's time than it is now, so it cannot be generalized.Take the most recent example, James' 6 million lifetime contract is already the ceiling for NBA superstars to sign.
But Zhou Jing knew that his man had this strength.
"Thank you boss, I have one more thing to ask you." Zhou Jing's voice suddenly became very gentle.
Xie Kai was a little surprised, but still said calmly: "You are allowed to report."
"Zha——" Zhou Jing deliberately acted obediently, "Oh, it's Zhou Bin, you know, he just graduated in the first half of this year, but he didn't find a suitable job, so he stayed at home all the time, and my aunt asked me to help him Looking for a job, but I don't have any jobs to introduce him to."
Xie Kai figured it out, it turned out he was helping his cousin find a job.
Zhou Bin Xie Kai contacted him a few times, and felt that this young man was quite extroverted and serious. Although sometimes his words made people feel a little foolish, but his nature should not be bad.
"I said Mr. Zhou, do you think you still need to ask me about this kind of thing? I let you set up a company in China and let you take full responsibility. It's not a matter of recruiting anyone. Recruiting someone is not recruiting. How can your cousin Can't you join my company?" Xie Kai looked at Zhou Jing and said word by word.
Zhou Jing suddenly realized that she had been trying to help her cousin find a suitable job, but she never thought that she was in charge of Xie Kai's company. Such a large company is currently in the expansion stage and needs a lot of talents, and Zhou Bin is a college student anyway. can be used.
It's true that if you close yourself, you will be chaotic, and if you close yourself, you will be chaotic!
An annoying matter was resolved, and Zhou Jing felt much more at ease: "I thank the boss, I recruited my relatives to join the company, will I be called nepotism?"
Xie Kai asked back: "Is there a rule in the company system that you cannot appoint relatives and friends?"
Zhou Jing shook her head.
"Then it's over. As long as you don't deliberately favor Zhou Bin, what other people say is their business. The essence of nepotism and meritocracy is to find someone who can do things and you can trust. It doesn't matter whether this person is a relative or friend." Relationship!" Xie Kai said.
