Chapter 98 Quotation Contract
On January 1nd, in an apartment in San Antonio, Yang Ke was lying on the sofa, watching American TV dramas. Because his ankle had not healed, he did not train with the team.

This made Yang Ke, who usually spends more than half of his time training, feel very uncomfortable, and he could only watch the most popular American TV series when he was bored.

"You really are at home!"

Elvers opened the door and walked in, holding a large pile of documents in his hand, looked at Yang Ke on the sofa and said with a smile, with some unconcealable joy in his eyes.

"What are you holding in your hand?"

The attention shifted from the TV, and Yang Ke turned his head to look at Elvers curiously. To be precise, it was the documents in Elvers' hands.Judging from the look on Elvers' face, it should be a good thing.

"contract."

Handing the document in front of Yang Ke, Elvers opened his mouth and spit out a word. When Yang Ke took the contract, he bent down, picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.

When talking about important matters, Elvers didn't like to be disturbed by the outside world. After finishing all this, he sat on the other side of the sofa and quietly waited for Yang Ke to read the contract.

Yang Ke's face is very calm. It is not surprising that Elvers received offers and contracts from major companies. You must know the outstanding performance in the game against the Lakers. He and Leonard not only proved themselves, but also showed the world The world shows the fact that they have amazing potential.

"Why only the sneaker contract?"

Yang Ke quickly glanced aside all the quotation contracts in his hand, and found that there was only a quotation for the sneaker contract. He frowned and asked Elvers.

"Because your situation is very special, you have a huge Asian market behind you, so I think you only need to sign a sneaker contract before investigating your appeal in the Asian market."

Elvers seemed to know that Yang Ke would ask such a question, so he answered directly without thinking, if it weren't for the fact that sneakers are too important to a basketball player, he even thinks that Yang Ke should not sign any endorsement contract in a short period of time .

"you are right."

Nodding his head, Yang Ke was still very calm. He believed in Elvers' decision. After all, Elvers' income was linked to his income, so Elvers would not be so stupid as to damage his own interests.

"Which one did Leonard choose?"

Looking at the quotation contract in his hand, Yang Ke thought for a moment, and took out five quotation contracts from five major brands: Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, Reebok, and Li Ning, and then asked.

"Nike, but it hasn't been officially signed yet."

Replying quickly, when Elvers saw Yang Ke pick out the quotation contracts of the five major brands, a light flashed in his eyes, and he nodded in agreement.

Other small brands and small companies, although they give a lot of money in comparison, their brand value and the quality of sneakers need to be examined.

Hearing Elvers' answer, Yang Ke frowned and lowered his head to think. Nike offered him $5 million for five years, which was a high price for a rookie.

However, the year is too long, and if I remember correctly, there is no reward clause, which seems a bit harsh to Yang Ke.

Yang Ke didn't want to sign for such a long time. He recalled all the quotation contracts he had just seen, and finally moved a price contract with the Li Ning logo to the top.

It has to be said that among the five price contracts he selected, Li Ning's quotation is the most lucrative, 4 million US dollars for 600 years, and there are many generous rewards in addition.

But compared to several other big American brands, Li Ning has obvious shortcomings, and it is a bit far behind in terms of sneaker technology.

Yang Ke once wore Li Ning's brand sneakers, which were not comfortable.As for the Nike sneakers, he always thought they were very good, so this made him very hesitant.

Putting all the quotation contracts in his hand on the guest table in front of him, after a moment of silence, Yang Kecai said: "Elfers, you can talk to these companies again, I don't have high requirements for the amount, and it doesn't matter what the reward terms are." , I have only one request: the contract period is at most three years."

"Ok."

Elvers was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. Before the formal signing, all contracts are open for negotiation, let alone tentative quotation contracts, and the agent is doing this series of work.

After simply writing down this matter in the notebook and planning to make this request when discussing Leonard's contract with Nike, Elvers raised his head, looked at Yang Ke curiously, and asked road:
"Yang, why do you have such a requirement for the contract period? You must know that Nike provided Leonard with similar conditions to yours, but Leonard did not have such a requirement for the contract period."

Yang Ke was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't expect Elvers to ask such a question, then he smiled and said, "Because I think the shorter the term, the more flexible the future will be."

"It seems that you are very confident in yourself!"

There was a flash of light in his eyes, looking at the calm Yang Ke, Elvers said thoughtfully.

Yang Ke's meaning is obvious. The reason why he asked for a shorter contract period is to be able to operate more flexibly when he is worth playing in the future, and pursue a larger sneaker contract, even a personal signature sneaker.

It has to be said that this is a big gamble for Yang Ke, who is still in his rookie year. If he loses the bet, it will end hastily. If he wins the bet, he will have several times more wealth and status than Leonard in the same year.

Yang Ke leaned on the soft and comfortable sofa, listening to what Elvers said, he shook his head with a smile, and said lightly: "I just think a little more about the future."

Elvers frowned slightly. Since Alice's death, he always felt that Yang Ke had some subtle changes, which was very obvious in today's conversation.

"Ding! Ding!"

At this time, a bell rang from his body, and Elvers subconsciously took out his mobile phone, and found that it was the alarm clock he had set. Due to too many things, he had to set it up to remind himself one by one.

"Oh, it's already this time! Yang, I should go!"

Looking at the time, remembering that there is a meeting to attend in half an hour, Elvers stood up from the sofa, put the phone back in his pants, and said quickly to Yang Ke.

As early as the moment Elvers took out his mobile phone, Yang Ke also got up and left the sofa. After spending a lot of time with Elvers, of course he knew what the sound was.

So when Elvers spoke, Yang Ke had silently packed up all the contracts and handed them back to him.

"Don't worry, Yang, I will negotiate the contract."

Elvers said quickly, and then with a lot of quotation contracts, he walked out of the apartment vigorously and went to the garage.

Standing at the door, Yang Ke calmly looked at Elvers going away. Under the sunlight, he saw Elvers' head, the black hair mixed with white hair blowing in the breeze shaking.

It's often said that agents are vampires, that their money comes easily, but that's not true, compared to players who just need to perform well on the court and work hard off the court.

Brokers are faced with even more troublesome and dark situations. They not only have to deal with fox-like corporate executives, but also find a richer interest among countless dark rules...

well!No one in the world is easy!

Sighing, Yang Ke turned around silently, and walked back to the apartment, preparing to watch American dramas again, and tomorrow he will go to the arena to conduct restorative adaptation training under the strict supervision of the team doctor...
