NBA: Best point guard

Chapter 230 Endorsement

Zhao Qiang and Coach Brown returned to their home after the discussion.

Tang Xiaowan also finished playing early today and returned home. When she saw Zhao Qiang came back, she hugged Zhao Qiang excitedly.

"My dear, do you know? You are famous now, and you have already got an advertising contract."

Zhao Qiang was quite puzzled. He originally thought that the first thing to find him would be the endorsement contract of sneakers, but he didn't expect it to be an advertisement.

It's just that it's too early. I've only played two games, and a merchant has taken a fancy to me so quickly?Always felt a little unreliable.

"What ad?"

Tang Xiaowan said excitedly: "It's an advertisement for a hamburger restaurant. They want you to be their spokesperson and shoot an advertisement for them."

This is outrageous for a hamburger restaurant. I live a very healthy life, and I actually go to endorse a hamburger restaurant advertisement.

It is too magical for an athlete to endorse a burger restaurant, and it is not convincing at all.

Zhao Qiang quickly said: "Let's forget about the endorsement of the burger restaurant. As a player, I really don't have much convincing endorsement for the burger restaurant, and I feel that the impact on my career is not very good."

The hamburger itself does not fit the status of a player. Have you ever seen any player or athlete who lacked these things during his career?If you speak for a hamburger restaurant, you will inevitably come into contact with their products.

In addition, in the beautiful country, there are many fat people, and the reason why these people get fat is because of high-calorie and high-sweet foods.

As a player, it is natural to maintain a good body fat percentage and plan for the future of your career, so being in a foreign burger restaurant is really not a good endorsement.

"Xiao Wan, let's push this endorsement. You said that I endorsed a burger restaurant. This is really inappropriate."

Tang Xiaowan said with some disappointment: "This is your first endorsement. It's hard to get your first endorsement."

Zhao Qiang comforted: "Don't worry, Xiaowan. I have only played two regular season games, and I have endorsements coming to my door. So if I play for one season, will there be other endorsements coming to me? So Don't worry, it's gold that will always shine."

"Besides, I still have a long way to go in my career. Well, receiving the endorsement of such a burger restaurant will indeed have a certain impact on my player's image. I don't think it is necessary. Besides, I am not short of money."

"I know you think this is my first endorsement, so I should pay attention to it, but I think it's more important for me to choose carefully. Even if there are no suitable endorsements in the future, I won't endorse at worst. Other industries can still have good income.”

Tang Xiaowan nodded after listening, it is true, the image of a player is too important, otherwise, what should my parents say, it is true that I did not think carefully at the beginning.

"Well, it's also my first time as an agent, and I really didn't take this aspect into account. Next time you can remind me more, and I won't make such a mistake again."

Zhao Qiang said with a smile: "It's no big deal, we are all normal people, why can't we make mistakes, as long as we know the mistakes and correct them."

As a result, on the second day, Tang Xiaowan brought good news to Zhao Qiang.

"Honey, there is a sports brand that wants to make exclusive combat boots for you."

Zhao Qiang didn't expect it to exist. In fact, he has been worrying about his basketball shoes for the past two days.

In his current game, he really used to spend a lot of basketball shoes, and other basketball shoes were also a bit uncomfortable to wear, and he always felt that something was wrong.

"Which sports brand is it?"

Tang Xiaowan smiled and said, "Converse."

According to the memory of my previous life, Converse is also a sports brand with a long history.

It's just that he is not as famous as Adidas and Nike in various athletes, and his brand is quite low-key.

At first, Zhao Qiang thought it would be Nike or Adidas who would find him, but he didn't expect it to be Converse. It seems that he still can't fall into the eyes of Nike and Adidas.

I remember that at the very beginning, the entire NBA was dominated by Nike and Adidas, or even if Adidas was not good, it should be said that it was dominated by Nike. Basically, the big-name players signed with Nike.

And there was a saying in the NBA at that time that the league would sign Nike stars. To put it bluntly, it was capital at work.

But as more and more brands enter the market, Nike can no longer maintain a dominant position.

Arrogance will eventually be eaten back, and Nike is the best example.

Zhao Qiang then asked: "What conditions did they offer?"

Tang Xiaowan then read out the conditions, "Make yourself a pair of exclusive combat boots, and then sign a three-year, 3 million contract."

Obviously, this contract is a bit underestimated, and the taste of testing the waters is very heavy.

During this period in 96, Converse wanted to enter the NBA market, but it was indeed a step short, so he found another way to open up the market with such a dragon face.

And through the face of Longguo, they can also develop the Longguo market.

For the exclusive combat boots, Zhao Qiang felt that there must be one, but Zhao Qiang could not accept the length of the contract he signed and the conditions mentioned.

"Xiao Wan, look at this, ask them to change the contract to 1 million a year, I only sign for one year, and after one year my value will be more than ten times, I want to take advantage of this when I am a rookie ,I do not accept."

Tang Xiaowan thinks about it, and it is true that according to Zhao Qiang's current performance, he will definitely become a superstar in the future, so the previous three-year contract, to be honest, was just taking advantage of others.

"Since they want to test the water, I will give them a year to test the water. If I can do it, I will do my best."

Tang Xiaowan immediately replied what Zhao Qiang said to the management of Converse.

Originally, there were different internal opinions in the management of Converse, because it was a three-year contract or a one-year contract?If it is a three-year contract, some people in the management of Converse think that he does not have this talent. To put it bluntly, they are not very optimistic about Zhao Qiang.

Some people think that Zhao Qiang's performance will be very good, so the two sides are not harmonious internally.

That's fine, Zhao Qiang gave a perfect answer.

After getting Zhao Qiang's answer, Converse immediately confirmed it.

The parties agreed on a time to sign the contract.

Zhao Qiang came to Converse on the day the contract was signed, and Converse is still very popular in the United States.

However, Nike and Adidas are not bad. These two brands will have more overseas business, so the two of them will be more well-known globally. .
