Chapter 1569 Blank Check

When Lin Feng acquired "Converse" and "Reebok" with lightning speed, the CEOs of those companies in the sporting goods market all knew that the wolf was coming. Thinking of the two teams owned by Lin Feng - Tottenham Hotspur and the Houston Rockets, all companies feel chilled.

Tottenham Hotspur is now the most watched football team in the world. It has surpassed Real Madrid, Manchester United and other teams and is currently the most popular football team.

The Houston Rockets, the last NBA champion, can be said to be the best team in the world.

Both teams are owned by Lin Feng, and Lin Feng has rich star resources that make all companies jealous. Fortunately, what gives most companies some peace of mind is that most of these stars are well-known and have already signed contracts. This gives many CEOs of sporting goods companies some peace of mind.

But then when Lin Feng announced the list of stars he had signed, all the companies were shocked. I can't help it, I can't help but be shocked.

The first list announced by Lin Feng was a famous person, and it was the most popular athlete in recent times-Liu Xiang.

Since Liu Xiang ran an astonishing time of .88 seconds in the o-meter hurdles final of the Athens Olympics, breaking the world record and winning the Olympic gold medal, his popularity has soared. He has become a world-class idol, especially in China, and he has instantly gained unparalleled popularity. , I am afraid that only Yao Ming can compete with him. As for other stars, stars are simply incomparable.

Liu Xiang became the spokesperson of "Linfeng Sporting Goods Company", and conservative estimates from the outside world will bring at least US$-100 million in sales to "Linfeng Sporting Goods Company". After all, Liu Xiang is now a phenomenon. He breaks the paradox that yellow people cannot compete with European, American and non-athletes on the track and field. It is a hot topic in the whole world and brings huge popularity and profits to "Lin Feng Sports Goods Company". It's normal.

As for Liu Xiang joining "Linfeng Sports Goods Company", the outside world is not surprised at all. After all, Liu Xiang is a Chinese, so there is nothing strange about joining "Linfeng Sports Goods Company".

Later, Lin Feng announced that Yao Ming had the same reason as Liu Xiang. Moreover, Yao Ming had signed with "Reebok" before, and "Reebok" was acquired by Lin Feng. Basically, it was a matter of course. As for Wade, it’s the same as Yao Ming. "Converse" was also acquired by Lin Feng, and Wade was naturally one of Lin Feng's signed spokespersons.

But what really surprised the outside world was James, the proud man of heaven. You know, last year, when James was still a high school student, Nike signed a seven-year contract with him at a sky-high price of US$10,000. It can be said that for James, who was still a high school student and came from a poor family, Nike's contract was like a timely help. And now James has actually become a signed spokesperson for Lin Feng, defecting from "Nike" to "Lin Feng Sports Goods Company". This is really shocking to the outside world.

No one expected that Lin Feng would poach Nike.

And they are poaching such a big-name star.

"Damn it! You will be punished." Nike President William Perez cursed angrily.

Originally, William Perez was relatively lucky after Sharapova was successfully poached by Lin Feng. After all, Sarapova's serious injury certificate and shoulder injury that may not heal in the future make it very likely that Nike will be saddled with a heavy contract. But Lin Feng's poaching made Nike relieved and also gained 100 million US dollars. This is a pretty wonderful thing.

But then Lin Feng handed over a check again, saying it was to redeem James' life, which made William Perez's balls hurt. When I signed the contract with James, I was overconfident and believed that no company would give James a higher contract than my own company, so the liquidated damages were signed at 10,000 US dollars. According to common sense, this is a very reasonable price. After all, Nike itself is the best in the world, and the contract it offers is also the best in the world. It is impossible for James to defect to other companies.

However, the unexpected appearance of Lin Feng made James' "defection" that existed only in theory a reality. And the price was only 10,000 US dollars, which made William Perez really want to vomit blood.

For ten thousand dollars, James was sold to Lin Feng. This was too cheap. It was as cheap as buying cabbage in the market. At most, he could only buy a grass carp.

Of course, Lin Feng can create a god to poach James, and Nike can also snatch it back. After all, the contract Lin Feng gave James was only ten thousand dollars more than Nike. A mere 10,000 U.S. dollars, for Nike, which has a lot of money, it’s nothing short of amazing! Just a little drizzle.

Regardless of whether it is out of revenge or to maintain Nike's dignity, James must be snatched away. Therefore, Nike found James as soon as it received Lin Feng's check. They didn't say anything and just handed him a blank check.

"LeBron, this isn't the first time we've worked together." When he said this, William Perez's balls ached. Nike and James have only cooperated once, and they have only cooperated for a year. Only one-seventh of the first contract has been executed. If Lin Fengcong hadn't interfered, they would still maintain a close cooperative relationship.

As a result, because of Lin Feng, the cooperation between Nike and James became a thing of the past, and now they are facing a second handshake.

"LeBron, I think you know more about Nike's strength than anyone else. Our company has a history of decades and has been committed to developing the most suitable sports shoes for humans. It is no exaggeration to say that our company is the best in terms of strength, scientific research, or financial..." Speaking of financial strength, William Perez coughed, and suddenly tens of billions of dollars in banknotes appeared in his mind. This is the cash owned by Lin Feng, almost as much as the market value of Nike.

Don't compare money with such people. It will make people more painful. ——William Perez looked depressed.

"LeBron, this is a blank check. As long as you are willing to sign with Nike, everything else will be solved by our company." Pointing to the blank check on the table, William Perez showed a firm and confident smile. In his opinion, James would never refuse such a contract.

A blank check, not many people can refuse it. At least William Perez doesn't think that James, who easily changes his team, will refuse this blank check.

James looked at the blank check on the table and hesitated.

"LeBron, I know what you are hesitating about. I can tell you very frankly that this blank check is given to you to let you know our company's attitude towards you. We are absolutely optimistic about you and are willing to pay any price for you. You can fill in any number on it, any number!" William Perez tempted James.

Of course, although William Perez said any number, in fact, unless he is a fool or a madman, most people will not really write down a number when facing a blank check, but will evaluate a reasonable number based on their own strength and ability, although usually this reasonable number actually exceeds the actual value of the person. But at this time, William Perez doesn't care about this.

For him, for Nike, what is more important now is face, face! No matter whether James finally fills in 100 million, 100 million, or even 100 million, Nike will accept it. As long as James can return to the arms of Nike, Nike will accept everything. It is just a retaliation against Lin Feng.

James is still hesitating, staring at the blank check with his eyes and hesitating.

William Perez smiled and said nothing. Because he firmly believed in the power of a blank check, no one could resist it, including him.

After a long time, James shook his head, and pushed the check back to William Perez with a look of pain and determination.

William Perez was stunned! What is this? James actually refused a blank check. Oh my God, is he dreaming? Or is he dazzled? —— William Perez squinted his eyes and couldn't believe what he saw. James actually returned the blank check.

"LeBron, are you really rejecting our Nike?" William Perez was a little furious.

James nodded heavily.

"You... don't regret it!" William Perez pointed at James for a long time and couldn't say anything. Finally, he snorted coldly, picked up the check from the table, and then walked away heavily.

James looked at the check with regret, and finally sighed helplessly. It's not that he was not attracted by this blank check, but that he didn't dare to accept it. Because Jordan said that since he had signed with the boss's company, he should concentrate and be honest, otherwise anyone who dared to go back on his word would be expelled from the team.

Although James can go to any team with his current skills. But he is really comfortable in the Houston Rockets, and here is his idol Jordan. Therefore, James had to refuse in the end. Of course, the most important thing is Lin Feng. James was afraid that this matter would completely anger Lin Feng.

Rodman, the thorn, took advantage of Michael Jordan's absence, did not train well, was lazy, and played big in the team. As a result, Dawson had no choice but to call Lin Feng. Lin Feng immediately asked Tomjanovich to put Rodman on the injury list, and then did not let him play for a long time. At the same time, he also used means to force all of Rodman's creditors to come to him for money, making Rodman want to cry. In the end, he could only come back to train honestly.

If he betrayed Lin Feng this time, James could imagine how serious the consequences would be. Therefore, he did not dare to betray Lin Feng for a blank check. Although the penalty for breach of contract in his contract was only a symbolic penalty of US dollars, James still did not dare to betray Lin Feng. There was no way. Compared with Nike's US dollars, the boss's was more brutal. At least, James was afraid.

Lin Feng's power can be seen.

Later, Lin Feng announced the news that Sharapova signed a contract with "Lin Feng Sports Goods Company". The outside world was not too surprised about this. After all, it was a fact that Sharapova was seriously injured, and Nike's move seemed to reduce the burden. In this regard, the outside world was relieved again. It seems that Lin Feng is not as smart as he seems on the surface.

But then, the list announced by Lin Feng shocked everyone, especially Nike.
