Winnie knows how much Reebok wants to sign Chamberlain, and she also knows how much Chamberlain needs Reebok. Don’t underestimate these sneaker merchants. Their energy in the NBA is extremely terrifying. For example, Nike and Adidas bosses can not only affect the performance of the stars in the All-Star Game, but also determine whether they can be selected for gold events such as the Olympics, Basketball World Championships.

For example, there have always been speculations in the basketball world that in the 2003 All-Star Game, Carter gave up the starting power to Jordan, which was everything Nike dominated behind the scenes; for example, in the upcoming 2008 Olympics, Arenas, who is now in the NBA, has not entered the 20-man roster option at all, which made the general extremely angry. He had told the media a long time ago that all this was because he endorsed Adidas but did not endorse Nike.

In fact, this is indeed the reason that not only did he not join the regular twelve-man roster of the Olympics, but he could not even enter the 20-man roster of the initial auditions.

Winnie is bound to win Reebok, and she wants to ask Chamberlain for a lifelong endorsement contract. She doesn't want Chamberlain to change the "goal" party at some stage, because in the NBA's sneaker world, betrayal is a very strict behavior. No matter which sneaker agent is in the eyes of a traitor, it is difficult to reuse.

For example, in a few years, Wade will take over Li Ning with 100 million US dollars + equity. Next year's new No. 1 pick, Ross, endorsing Nike for 250 million US dollars for 10 years, LeBron has a new contract with an average of 15 million yuan per year, Durant and Anthony both have 7 years and 60 million... But among these big brands, Kobe's sneaker contract seems a bit shabby, he "only" 42 million in 3 years.

However, in the United States and even internationally, Kobe's appeal is obviously above the Little Emperor, but in terms of endorsement, whether it is the amount of the contract offered by Ke or his position in advertising strategy, Kobe's treatment is far inferior to that of the Little Emperor. To a certain extent, all this is because Kobe was a traitor, and Winnie is avoiding such a thing.

Winnie contacted Adidas first and then Reebok. She had her own considerations. She knew that her arrangement would definitely not be able to avoid the media's eyes. She wanted to tell Reebok that there were other options besides you and me, and I have already talked about it. If you are unhappy with you, then it would be a rry. We will cooperate with Adidas.

But what shocked Winnie was that all this did not work at all. When she took Chamberlain and Reebok together, although Reebok agreed to give Chamberlain a big contract, it did not meet Winnie's psychological expectations: what she wanted was a life-long contract, and the same life-long contract.

Reebok flatly refused. They were willing to give Chamberlain a five-year, 32 million contract or seven-year, 50 million contract. The latter was worth the same as Yao Ming, but they were absolutely unwilling to give Chamberlain a lifetime contract.

"You are definitely aware of Z's potential. He will definitely get it, the All-Star Game, the Best Defensive Player, the Best Defensive Team, and the Best Defensive Team, and he won it in his rookie season. His potential is limitless. With him joining, you can even compete with Nike in the NBA." Winnie tried hard to convince the prudent capitalists on the opposite side, but her efforts were in vain.

Reebok's negotiator replied to Winnie with a professional but proud smile, saying: "We admit that z is very 'good'. With him help, we can sell more sneakers and more clothes. But he is not Michael and Jordan, he is not O'Neal, or even Yao Ming. He is a Chinese-born rookie in the United States, so do you feel a little greedy? Our lifetime contract cannot be given to a rookie."

Chamberlain saw the contempt of Reebok's representatives after smiling, and his brows frowned, but Winnie patted the back of his hand in time, signaling him not to worry and to give everything to her.

Winnie and Reebok's representatives were "lips" and they were quarrels, but all this was useless. Reebok was willing to give Chamberlain a big contract, but it was definitely not a lifetime contract. They were even willing to add Chamberlain to two million in endorsement fees every year, but this was their limit.

Winnie was also a little satisfied with this contract. At least this contract surpassed Yao Ming. As long as Chamberlain joined Reebok, he would be Reebok's second brother, and his status here was second only to Allen and Iverson.

After both sides shut up, Chamberlain stood up, looking down at the other party's negotiator and asked, "Have you finished speaking?"

Chamberlain was tall and big, and he inherited Wilt's body as a handsome man. He fought with the ruthless people of the NBA for many years and developed a strong aura. He was so looked down upon by him and lingered in front of the computer and on the wooden bed for many years, he was a little shocked.

"What do you want to do? Is there anything you need to add?" the leader of the negotiation team asked calmly.

Chamberlain stared at him tightly, like a tiger staring at a little sheep. When the leader of the negotiation team was sweating and unable to sit still, he said with contempt and contempt: "The only thing I want to add is that I will not endorse Reebok."

The conference room was silent, and everyone was staring at Chamberlain, including Winnie, and was stunned for a moment. They took an hour and a half to discuss a temporary plan, but all this was ruined by Chamberlain's words.

After saying this, Chamberlain did not give the other party a chance to ask questions. He held Winnie's hand and pulled her up, and said firmly: "Let's go and have a meal, I'm hungry."

In order to help him negotiate the sneaker endorsement contract, Winnie has not had a meal with him until now.

Chamberlain held his hand and Winnie was a little dull. She didn't react until she was pulled out of the hotel. She shook her hand away and shouted with a stern face: "Hi, z, you want to give me an explanation, why are you unwilling to endorse Reebok? You know me..."

Chamberlain stopped and shouted to Winnie, "Do you know what those people think of you? They think you are a greedy and ignorant fool. They are laughing at you behind their backs. They have never respected you from beginning to end! How can I cooperate with such people? Winnie, the contract doesn't matter. We can live a beautiful life with one million a year. Even if you help me find a small sneaker endorsement, as long as they are willing to respect you as my agent, that's enough."

Winnie looked at Chamberlain expressionlessly, and when the latter finished roaring, she nodded silently.

Chamberlain didn't know what to say for a moment. In short, he just couldn't stand the look of Reebok's people looking at Winnie. Those people must think Winnie was his love wife, a stupid woman who didn't understand negotiations at all and did not understand the economy. So during the negotiations just now, they kept perfunctory about Winnie.

Winnie also saw it, but she didn't care. Business is business. Why do you care about so much? As long as you can get enough money to satisfy yourself, that's fine. Reebok people also knew that she thought so, so they dared to underestimate him like this.

But Chamberlain cannot tolerate such a thing happening.

Winnie walked forward, Chamberlain chased after her and asked anxiously, "Where to go?"

"Aren't you going to have a meal?" Winnie glanced at him, her expression softer than before. "Let's go, I'm actually hungry too. I originally wanted to blackmail Reebok for a big meal after negotiations. It seems that there is no chance. Let's solve it ourselves."

Chamberlain was a little stunned. This was the first time he heard Winnie joking. This girl with a bad temper always liked to speak with a stern face.

When Winnie and Chamberlain sat at the Cliff House Hotel - the latter thanked the former for their help tonight and invited her to a big meal no matter what. Although he did not rob Reebok, he was willing to act like this role. Most importantly, he is absolutely rich in his bank card now.

Shortly after the two sat down, a kind-hearted and handsome old man walked to the two. This man, like most American old men, had a very fat figure, but he was wearing a sportswear worn by young people, which seemed a bit out of character.

"Can I sit next to you?" the old man asked Chamberlain.

Winnie has never been a person who likes to compromise, especially now that there are many empty seats in the Cliff House hotel, so she bows her head and stirs the coffee and says casually: "Sorry, we are a couple's seat here, so it's not appropriate for you to do it."

Chamberlain was not surprised by this answer. After many days of "conversation", he already knew Winnie's rough nerves. As long as he could achieve his goal quickly, what he said was never something Winnie was willing to worry about.

After hearing this, the old man laughed loudly. He patted Chamberlain's shoulder with relief and said, "If that old guy Eddie would say this when he heard his 'daughter', he would definitely be very happy."

Eddie is a common name in the United States, but here it must refer specifically to a person, Eddie Gotrib and Winnie's father.

When Winnie, who had been careless, was shocked when she heard the old man say this. She looked up at the old man, identified it for a while before asking guessingly: "You are...ah, you are Sony Vaccaro? God, it's really you. Are you not in Europe? How could you be here?!"

Chamberlain was also shocked. He actually didn't know the old man, and he was not familiar with the name Sony Vaccaro. What surprised him was Winnie's name. This violent girl rarely called someone "you". Even old Nelson was just "old man" in her mouth.

The old man sat down without asking for help. He sat down next to Chamberlain and said to Winnie with a smile: "It was originally in Europe, but my old friends in Adidas and Reebok both sent me news that they were interested in recruiting Z, so I came back to see how they humiliated themselves."

Chamberlain asked in surprise: "What does it mean to bring humiliation to yourself?"

Vaccaro patted Chamberlain's wide back and laughed: "I know what kind of 'piss's' sex' of those two bird companies are. They thought they were God, and they thought the players were puppets who were 'fucked' by the contracts of their sneakers. I fucked the two silly birds. They could use this method to play Jordan, Kobe's rational cold-blooded people, and they could play Carter, McGrady, James, and Anthony's soft balls, but facing real fighters, their tricks would only become ridiculous jokes!"

The old man's words suddenly aroused Chamberlain's favor. He saw that Winnie immediately became a lady and low-key after Vaccaro came. It felt incredible. He knew that the old man should be a cruel person. He pulled Winnie away and asked her to tell her about the glorious history of the old man.
