For ordinary players, it is too late for them to be happy when they encounter an endorsement deal with someone who has more years of experience and a reasonable price.
After all, who can guarantee that there won't be any accidents?
Such as injuries or a decline in form.
His brand influence will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, signing an endorsement with a longer term is more secure.
But Wang Yi is very confident about his condition.
In the playoffs this season, his value will be even higher.
Then the endorsement fees he gets will be higher.
At noon the next day, while Wang Yi was resting, Luo Lin's call came again.
"Three big brands have contacted me, but they are not very happy to hear that you are only willing to sign for one year. Only one is willing to pay 10 million yuan a year."
Wang Yi asked: "Which one?"
Although 10 million RMB a year is much less than those of NBA stars.
But he is indeed short of money at the moment.
Not to mention anything else, a liquid ammonia blast freezer alone costs millions, plus daily maintenance, it is definitely a huge expense.
So he can accept 10 million a year.
Anyway, after you show your worth in this year's playoffs, big contracts will come like a snowflake.
Sister Luo said: "Toyota."
Wang Yi's face suddenly sank: "No answer."
Sister Luo was a little anxious: "Why?"
Wang Yi: "Sister Luo, you grew up in the United States and may not know much about China's modern history. As long as you have a little understanding of China's history, you won't ask why."
Rowling thought for a while and said: "I will try to understand, but they said that if you perform well in the playoffs, they will extend the endorsement contract, which may be a five-year contract worth more than 100 million.
.so……"
"As long as it is the endorsement of this country, I will not accept it!"
Wang Yi has a tough attitude and a decisive tone.
"..."
Rowling was silent for a moment and finally said: "Okay."
…
At four o'clock that afternoon.
Conference room at Toyota North America headquarters in Plano, Texas.
The conference rooms in this headquarters are basically named after car models.
For example, Camry conference room, Corolla conference room.
At this time, Marketing Director Hideaki Odaka was sitting in the main seat in the Camry conference room.
When he was in Tokyo, he was in charge of advertising operations. Now that he has come to North America, he has been promoted to the head of the marketing department, and he is also responsible for the advertising business.
He listened to the reports of his subordinates and kept nodding.
All work is being carried out in an orderly manner, and today is another smooth day.
At this time, it was the turn of the last small supervisor in charge of the advertising business to report.
He is an American and said: "Today I am responsible for contacting the Chinese star named Wang Yi. He is Chinese and will be very helpful for us to open up the Chinese market in North America."
The 72-year-old Hideaki Odaka has gray hair and slightly squinted eyes.
A kind-hearted smile.
He nodded: "Yeah."
The little supervisor continued to report: "But... I was rejected by the Chinese guy."
The smiling look on Odaka Hideaki's face did not change.
Asked: "Huh? What's the reason?"
The junior supervisor then reported: "They said there was no reason, they just didn't want to cooperate."
Odaka Hideaki understood, smiled slightly and said:
"These Chinese people, do you really think they are all hard-core?"
When Yao Ming was still in the NBA, Hideaki Odaka found Yao Ming through Mogou and planned to discuss cooperation.
He was also rejected by Yao Ming.
No matter how hard they tried, no matter how much benefit they offered, Yao Ming never agreed.
The reason given at that time was also the same: "There is no reason."
But he doesn't believe that every Chinese person is tough.
"Except for a very small group of people, the vast majority of people will not refuse benefits. If they are unwilling to cooperate, it only means that the benefits we provide are not enough. Increase the endorsement fee to 15 million and let's talk again."
Hideaki Odaka said.
The little supervisor asked: "What if it still doesn't work?"
Hideaki Odaka said with a smile: "Then increase it to 20 million."
The young manager was stunned and said: "20 million a year? That's equivalent to an All-Star endorsement contract. Although he is barely a star, he is still far from an All-Star, right?"
Hideaki Odaka said with a smile: "I am optimistic about his potential. If he is willing, we can even take a little risk and ask him to endorse for 100 million in five years."
The young supervisor nodded: "Okay, I'll talk about it tomorrow."
Hideaki Odaka shook his head: "To express sincerity, let's talk now."
The little supervisor was a little surprised. Isn't Hideaki Odaka always very calm?
Why are you so horny today?
Of course, this is just a small thought in his mind.
On the surface, he still nodded: "Okay, I'll make a call right away."
With that said, the young supervisor left the conference room.
Came back in less than five minutes.
The look on his face was not good: "They still disagreed and refused. It seems... there is no room for maneuver."
The entire Camry conference room fell silent.
The atmosphere was slightly solemn.
They offered such generous terms, but they were rejected outright.
As an international brand, Toyota has never been so low-key.
However, Hideaki Odaka still said with a smile: "Same as Yao Ming before?"
The little supervisor had not been involved in the Yao Ming incident before, but he still knew about it.
He nodded and said: "Same."
Oda Hideaki said: "I used to be too young. Yao Ming didn't agree, so I gave up. In fact, interests sometimes don't just refer to money. It can be women, status, respect, and recognition. They
We give them whatever they need. There is always something that can win them over."
"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. What's more, we are not even enemies."
The little supervisor understood and said:
"Supervisor, that Wang Yi is only 22 years old, and I heard he doesn't have a girlfriend yet. He seems to be in the most need of women, so we should use a women's offensive?"
Oda Hideaki nodded: "Yeah, but don't be too deliberate, don't be too tacky. In other words, don't use the words "woman offensive", but feelings, love, understand?"
The little manager suddenly felt ashamed and said:
"My level is still too low, and my supervisor's vision is still high. There is a young girl named Julie Hope in our advertising department, who is quite charming. If we let her go, she should be able to win over the Chinese guy."
Oda Hideaki nodded:
"Well, there is an old saying in China: It is difficult for a hero to be a beauty. Besides, that guy is not a hero yet."
The little manager looked a little excited:
"It just so happens that the Lakers have a game against the Mavericks in Texas at noon today. We can try to contact him today. Julie is also an intern reporter at the moment, and we can ask him to interview the Chinese guy. Get on the line while it's hot.
"
Oda Hideaki's eyes were like two small crescent moons, and he said with a smile:
Chapter completed!
