Li Anran didn't notice Gu Meng's foggy eyes, but listened to the noise coming from the corridor outside, especially Knight's loud voice.
Apart from the ugly hook, the current Nike seems to have no other connection with the later Nike.
For example, Nike's current flagship product is track and field shoes, not the famous AJ shoes. For example, Nike's product quality has been criticized, although it is not universal.
"Hi, Michael, you're going to like everything here, man." Knight's loud voice came through the crack in the door. Li Anran suddenly felt hot all over, and couldn't bear it anymore, and he groaned. He stood up and strode out under the surprised eyes of the girls.
Yes, even if it is rude, even if what he likes is football, even if his behavior will make Knight displeased, he will go out and worship the God in the hearts of thousands of people - Michael Jordan.
When he appeared in the corridor, at first glance, the young man walked over with a very forced smile, like a star holding the moon in his arms.
"Hey, man, you are right to be here. Your best partner is Nike, not that son of a bitch Adidas." Li Anran strode over and saw Jordan while everyone was stunned. In front of him, he raised his head and looked at the young face in front of him, and said excitedly: "Listen, man, Converse won't take you seriously, and neither will Adidas. But Nike can, and you can be Nike's top spokesperson."
Although Knight felt that Li Anran's behavior was a bit abrupt at the moment, he had always been an extremely free and easy person. Especially when he heard Li Anran calling Adi a son of a bitch, his whole body felt refreshed and he was so happy. .
In fact, Nike’s biggest rival is not Adidas, because Adidas’ main battlefield is in Europe, and Aramco’s market share is not high. Reebok currently has the highest market share.
It’s just that Knight’s ambition is as high as the sky and he is determined to be the industry leader. Naturally, Adi must keep it in mind at all times.
"Nate, give him the biggest contract, and he can create a business empire for you. In exchange, I will buy Nike stock and also sponsor part of the funds. Believe me, Knight, you get "The greatest basketball player on the planet."
"I'm going to give him a five-year, $2.5 million super contract. This is an unprecedented super contract. No one has ours." Such sincerity." Although Knight always laughed at himself as a loser and his friends were also losers, he was actually very smart and immediately climbed up the pole handed over by Li Anran.
Li Anran stared into the eyes of the bewildered young Jordan and said in a very sincere tone: "Then I will also contribute 2.5 million, so that we can give you 5 million, no? "?"
Without waiting for the astonished Jordan to react, he turned to the bald middle-aged man beside him and said, "You must beIs it Mr. Falk? Which one, Converse or Adidas, will agree to this condition?
Without waiting for Jordan's agent Falk to answer, he turned to another middle-aged man and woman, "You must be Jordan's parents, right?" What I want to say is that apart from you, only Nike loves him the most. "
Li Anran's cowardly operation confused everyone, especially Li Anran who consciously sponsored 2.5 million US dollars, piling up the already high-priced contract amount to the sky. < /p>
Li Anran reached out and patted Knight's arm, who was still in a daze, "Man, sign him. "
Before anyone else could speak, Jordan's father suddenly shouted, "Is there a better rookie contract than this? Only a fool wouldn't sign it. Jordan, don't hesitate, let Adidas and Converse go to hell. "
When Jordan signed his name, he expressed his gratitude in a deep voice that was very inconsistent with his immature face. The people around him applauded like thunder, with smiles on their faces. In fact, most of them Everyone thinks that Knight and Li Anran are two lunatics. You know that the contract amount for rookies is generally one hundred thousand dollars a year. Could it be that this young guy in front of him is on the same team?
Knight? Shouted to Li Anran in the crowd, "Hey, Bichi Li, it's time to fulfill your promise. ”
“Of course, we will have a good talk during dinner. "Li Anran didn't care about Knight's foul language. People who are athletes have such temperament.
This chapter is not finished, click the next page to continue reading.
Representative Strasser Nike accompanied the Jordan family to visit, and Knight took Li Anran and the others back to the conference room, rubbing his hands and laughing, "Bichi Li, you have embarrassed me, so go ahead and fulfill your promise. "
Li Anran shrugged and glanced sideways at him, "I heard that you are very poor recently? "
Knight's butt bounced up as soon as it stuck to the sofa, as if he wanted to refute. But when he saw Li Anran's joking eyes, he suddenly sat down again, a little slumped, "Yes. We were having a bit of a cash flow problem. Two and a half million dollars is all my cash. "
"Haha, brother, you don't have to worry! I am so poor now that all I have left is money! "The corners of Li Anran's mouth raised slightly, and he said with a half-smile. However, before he finished speaking, he immediately said: "How about this? I am willing to buy the stocks in your hand at 70% of the price of six dollars and three dollars. No matter the quantity, I will take it all. And, I can write a check on the spot, guaranteeing that the cash will be available in full within a week. ”
“Damn guy, aren’t you taking advantage of others’ danger and adding insult to injury? "Nate's face turned red with anger, he was so angry that he blurted out curse words. "Stop talking nonsense! Six dollars and three dollars, not a penny less, I will sell you up to five million shares! "
Hearing this, Li Anran could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He suddenly stretched out his foot,He lay back and sank into the sofa. At this moment, his face was full of anger and dissatisfaction, and he yelled at Knight: "Brother, can you figure out the situation? I just helped you get rid of the most outstanding basketball superstar in history, and he will The wealth I’ve brought you is probably an astronomical figure that you can’t even imagine now!”
“Nate, you have to be grateful to me, let’s do this, five yuan, ten million shares. "It can't be any less." In fact, Li Anran is also bluffing. He now has a cash flow of 1.3 billion Hong Kong dollars, which seems to be a lot, but it can't cope with the number of movies that will be shot this year. The audio and video production company has to buy new assembly lines. The city's clothing and shoe factory hasn't received any big orders yet, and has to buy a lot of equipment. People are asking for money everywhere, and they really don't have much budget to invest in Nike.
The reason why he wants to buy Nike stock is to tie Nike firmly to his warship. Others don't know, but he knows best. Next year, with the birth of Jordan, Nike will get out of the trough, and its sales will increase significantly. In five years, it has doubled, reaching a terrifying US$7.7 billion, and ten years later, it will reach US$4.7 billion.
Not to mention how much you can earn from stocks, the processing fees alone are enough to make you dizzy.
Nike is now in a trough period. Although its sales have reached more than 700 million US dollars, its net profit is only 40 million US dollars. Next year it will be even worse, with only 10 million US dollars.
If you want to ask how Li Anran knew, it is because of Knight's fault. The biography clearly states what he did. Taking history as a guide, Li Anran made up his mind that he would never write a bullshit biography to avoid being exploited by other time travellers.
Now Nike's stock has been hovering at more than six dollars, and the sluggish stock price has given Nike a headache. Therefore, Knight did not wrongly accuse Li Anran. He was indeed suspected of taking advantage of others.
Knight shook his head vigorously, with a pleading tone, "Oh my God, dear Li, you can't do this to me. I still want to give the order to your factory, you let me do this I'm very embarrassed."
Li Anran immediately sat up straight, with a serious expression, "Tell me, how many orders are you going to give me?"
Knight hesitated. He held out five fingers and said, "Fifty million."
Li Anran sneered contemptuously, "Nate, how much profit did you eat at the foundries of Wanwan and Bangzi? You compare this to I know better." At this point, he calculated silently for a while, then stretched out two fingers and said, "For $200 million, I can buy 10 million shares for six yuan."
"Simply. That's nonsense! It's absolutely impossible! Two hundred million dollars is not a small amount, it accounts for half of the company's total purchase! And your factory is still brand new, how could I take the risk and choose you?" An Ran secretly sighed: Sure enough, Knight is not called "Bucky the Bookkeeper" for no reason. When it comes to serious business, his mind is clearer than anyone else's.many.
Faced with the other party’s categorical rejection, Li Anran did not give up easily. I saw him gently wagging his finger and responded calmly: "Hey, friend, I'm afraid you made a mistake this time. Although this company was just acquired by me, in fact it already has more than 40 It has a long history, even longer than the history of Dragon Kingdom. Otherwise, if you still have doubts, we can add some punitive clauses in the contract if I cannot meet the agreed time. How about completing the order delivery task and being willing to accept the corresponding punishment? This is really the biggest concession I can make. Please stop bargaining."
After listening to these words. Afterwards, Knight fell into deep thought for a long time. After a fierce ideological struggle, he finally gritted his teeth and stretched out his right hand with difficulty, "Deal."
Li Anran laughed and stretched out his hand to hold it tightly.
