Chapter 84: Basic Salary for Life? Do You Think This Is a Contract to Sell Yourself?
This meeting was a very formal one-on-one meeting. Mr. Wells, the representative of NK Company, was the person in charge of this negotiation.
NK company has certainly noticed Sashiro's current influence at home and abroad.
It can be said that as long as Sashiro is signed, even the company's stock price will have a considerable boost.
Even if there are no sales at all, this one piece of positive news alone will significantly increase the company's stock price.
This is a sure win!
Besides...actually they don't plan to sign Sashiro at such a high price!
Mr. Wells placed the endorsement agreement in front of Sashiro.
Then.
He said calmly:
"Mr. Sashiro, please take a look at this contract. If you have no objection to it, please sign it as soon as possible. This will benefit both you and me."
Sashiro took a look at the contract.
This contract bought Sashiro's lifetime endorsement rights!!
Generally speaking, this kind of formal lifetime contract is considered a big contract.
Historically, those who have been able to get such contracts are basically sports companies, who have extremely high respect for the player.
He recognizes this player, so he gives him such a lifetime contract!
And the prices are often very high.
But.
Sashiro's contract is completely different.
Although it was a lifetime contract, the price he offered could be said to be...
P doesn't count at all!
At this time, Sashiro asked calmly:
"Hey, maybe I read it wrong. Is the contract amount written here as 2 million US dollars? Is it correct?"
Mr. Wells nodded without hesitation and said:
"Of course! We will settle the payment in US dollars. 2 million US dollars is not a small amount!!"
He said this as if he was still very proud.
This made Sashiro feel really sick.
You know.
For other players, even if they are not even the main players of the team, they are just second- or third-tier players.
It's just a 10-year endorsement contract, and the price of 2 million US dollars is one of the lowest.
This is basically equivalent to the base salary!!
But he took the lowest price of 2 million US dollars and went to Sashiro to try to sign him as a lifetime endorsement! ?
Isn't this f*****g crazy? ! !
You want me to work for you for free?
In fact, Sashiro had already felt very unhappy since the beginning of this meeting.
Sashiro could clearly feel that the other party clearly did not take him seriously.
This is not just a matter of wording.
In fact, he often uses words like "please" and "you" when speaking.
But.
From his attitude, he gives people a feeling of great contempt.
When he handed Sashiro the contract, his expression was as if he was giving Sashiro a great gift.
After discovering this, Sashiro spoke out bluntly.
"Mr. Wells, to be honest, I feel like your company doesn't respect me that much."
Talking about business is a two-sided matter.
Sashiro wasn't begging them to sign him.
So Sashiro's attitude was quite tough at this time.
"I don't feel your company's sincerity. If this is your attitude, then I don't think there is any need for us to continue the discussion."
Mr. Wells was slightly startled.
This script is different from what he imagined?
Indeed, they are not very optimistic about Sashiro's future commercial potential, and they don't pay much attention to an Asian player.
But.
As a mere Asian player, it's already quite good that you can get our contract.
You are still so picky? ?
Hehe.
You are very courageous!
Mr. Wells smiled, with a hint of contempt in his expression, and said:
"Mr. Sashiro, you have to understand that this is the first time we have been able to offer such a price to an Asian player."
Moment.
Sashiro closed his eyes slightly.
Then he picked up the stack of contracts.
Mr. Wells showed a sneer of disdain at the corner of his mouth.
Hehe.
I thought you were so tough.
Isn't this still signed?
After all, looking at the entire sports market, our company is the most powerful. If you don't sign me, who else can I sign?
Even if I don't give you money, you still have to come and lick us obediently! ?
However, these thoughts were not reflected on Wells's face, he just handed over a pen.
Said:
"Sign it, this is your best choice!"
Sashiro silently took the pen.
Then he scribbled twice on the signature spot, and then handed the stack of contracts and the pen back to Mr. Wells.
The smile on Wells's face grew even brighter.
"That's right, Mr. Sashiro! You are still young, don't think about money!!"
After he happily took the stack of contracts, he took it back and looked at it carefully.
Moment.
His expression froze.
The smile just now seemed to be frozen on his face, gradually becoming stiff.
Then, visible anger overflowed from the corners of his eyes, and his twitching muscles formed fine lines one after another.
At this moment, he looked up and found Sashiro smiling at him.
Sashiro said calmly:
" Thats my answer."
Of course, the main reason why he was so angry was because the words Sashiro wrote in the signature column were nothing else.
It is the most authentic and purest American national curse.
"f**k you!!"
This made Wells very angry!
Oh shit.
You are just an Asian player, and you dare to be so arrogant to me! ?
"Don't be so shameless!"
Wells was really angry.
However, Sashiro shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently:
"I think I've made myself clear, see you later!!"
"You... you don't regret it!!!"
Sashiro smiled.
He can't regret it!
Although Sashiro is not arrogant, he also knows how much commercial value he will have in the future as an NBA No. 1 pick.
Not to mention 2 million US dollars.
Even if you give 10 times, it is definitely not too much!!
But money is another matter. The most important thing is that Sashiro did not feel respected.
Poverty and humbleness cannot change him, and might and power cannot bend him.
You want to make money from me, but you don't take me seriously.
Are you making good plans?
Sashiro won't tolerate this kind of problem! !
As for regret?
Haha, whoever regrets it then will know!!
On the other hand, after hearing that Sashiro's negotiations with NK company were not going smoothly, a company in the country suddenly became happy.
"Great, great!! Quick, contact Sashiro now!"
