Build a Dream Dynasty

His first season as general manager was a great success, which gave Jiang Mingliang great confidence. Now that the future super giant Leonard has joined the team, Jiang Mingliang is even more confident in seizing the market.

Compared with the Nets in history, how stronger is the current Nets? The first is that the boss has a higher degree of recognition. The United States does not recognize the Chinese, but it is hostile to the Russians. The second is the improvement of the coaches. Even in the previous life, without such a good partner as Jiang Mingliang, Stevens achieved much higher results than Avery Johnson, Mark Jackson, and Kidd. The third is the potential of the lineup, which not only refers to the players, but also includes the huge operating space brought about by the healthy operation of the entire team. The Nets with several veterans in their last fight, the current Nets not only have potential new stars, but also have a lot of high-quality contract supply and operation. The fourth is the attention outside the field. The number of fans of Taylor Swift can be overwhelmed. Watching Humphreys' Kardashian, Yi Jianlian, Jeremy Lin, including Jiang Mingliang himself also drove the team's popularity in China.

After such a calculation, Jiang Mingliang did not intend to agree to the other party's offer of 80 million yuan for five years.

The banquet in the evening adopts a western-style buffet mode, which takes care of the people in Jiang Mingliang's team. However, in terms of dishes, they are all authentic Japanese delicacies, especially seafood, which is very much.

In addition to food and wine, the Japanese side prepared beauties for guests coming from afar as usual, and they were the ones who could speak both English and Chinese.

But it's a pity, Jiang Mingliang didn't even touch wine, let alone the woman he arranged for. Selena is also here. If Jiang Mingliang didn't block the beauty's sugar-coated bullets and missed something, the trouble would be big.

As for the matter of Baonuansi, after this negotiation is over, you can find Jessica at any time. And Jiang Mingliang is also planning to go back to China after this incident, so it's not a problem at all.

After finishing the dinner and returning to the room, Jiang Mingliang started to revise the sponsorship plan proposed by the other party again, adding a large number of floating terms to it.

The other party proposed to sign a five-year sponsorship contract, and the time span is relatively long. Based on 5 years of 80 million US dollars, it will be used as the basic cost for the team to enter the playoffs. On this basis, if the Nets get 50 wins, or enter the playoffs with the top four results in the East, they will get 2 million rewards, 60 wins or the top two in the East, plus 1 million (70 wins plus 1 million ). Every time a round of the playoffs breaks through, a reward of 2 million will be obtained.

Optimistically speaking, if the team can achieve 60 wins plus the Eastern Conference finals, then the sponsorship amount will be 16 million + 3 million + 4 million. The cost of this main sponsor directly surpassed the Celtics and the Mavericks, two cash cows after the Lakers and Knicks.

Of course, since it is a floating system, if the Nets' performance is too poor, the loss must be borne. If the Nets fail to enter the playoffs, the sponsorship amount for the season will be reduced by 2 million on the basis of 16 million. If the team wins less than 25 games, another 2 million will be deducted. After all, once the team enters a bad state, the number of fans on the scene will be greatly reduced.

"Your price seems a bit too high." The next day, when the Japanese people roughly calculated Jiang Mingliang's conditions, they found that if the other party's grades were good, the money they paid would be far higher than the original 1600. million dollars.

Jiang Mingliang smiled and said: "We have achieved good results, and I believe it is the result you want to see. A strong team in the league may even be a championship team, which should be more in line with the advertising effect you are pursuing. Besides, The five-year contract period is very long, and with such a floating system, the cooperation between Yokohama Tire and the Nets will be more closely bound."

The reasoning is the same, but for Xingchuan Gaoling, this matter is not something he can make a decision on. Counting fluctuations, the cost may exceed 20 million, but he has to ask the company's higher-level leaders for instructions.

Jiang Mingliang has expanded his territory in Japan, and the NBA's labor negotiations still affect the hearts of all fans. More than two-thirds of the teams in the league are at a loss, the imbalance between teams in big cities and teams in small cities, and the increasing autonomy of players have made the employers unite to put pressure on the league. On the one hand, Chairman Stern promised to smooth out the gap between the teams as much as possible, and on the other hand, he is also doing labor work.

Now it may be possible to negotiate with advertisers, broadcasters, and even hold the preseason game, otherwise, it will really be a waste of money.

If the contract between the Nets and Yokohama Tire is officially concluded, it is estimated that it will have a relatively negative impact on labor negotiations. After all, the sponsorship fees of most small-market teams in the league today are between 5 million and 10 million. Isn't it crazy that the Nets can sign such a big deal just after moving to New York?

In the coffee shop, Jiang Mingliang was making the coffee slowly while reporting his work progress to Jiang Shixiao triumphantly.

"It is a good thing to bring various factors that may be beneficial to us into the negotiation criteria and bring the other party into our rhythm. Although the contract is long, my hunch is that it is still worth signing." Through the screen, Jiang Shixiao affirmed Jiang Mingliang's work, "Of course, we can only make a profit if the team is strong enough!"

"That's for sure. I won't let your money go to waste." Jiang Mingliang has formed a strong enough behind-the-scenes team and assembled a group of players with extraordinary potential. The batch of players kneaded into shape.

After finishing the video call with Jiang Shixiao, Jiang Mingliang picked up the cable, packed up his things and walked out of the box. Unexpectedly, two women bumped into him from the side. There were two cups of hot coffee on the tray in their hands, and the coffee dripped onto Jiang Mingliang's clothes along the tray. superior.

"I'll go!" Jiang Mingliang called out and jumped up involuntarily. Hot coffee, but very hot.

"sorry Sorry."

Two girls with long hair and shawls wearing uniforms hurriedly bowed and apologized.

"Tsk..." Seeing that it was a girl, Jiang Mingliang didn't want to get angry. He raised his arm and looked at it. The burn was not serious, "Be careful!"

Seeing that Jiang Mingliang spoke English with an American pronunciation, one of the girls breathed a sigh of relief, and took out a tissue from his pocket to help Jiang Mingliang wipe it off, "I'm sorry, I accidentally bumped into it just now..."

The girl's English accent is from California, and there is a high probability that she is Asian from Los Angeles.

"ABJ?" Jiang Mingliang asked.

"NO, ABK." Same as Jessica, Korean-American.

Thinking of Jessica, Jiang Mingliang couldn't help thinking that just today, there seemed to be a photo of Jessica wearing this suit on Twitter, and there was another short girl in front of her, who looked familiar.

"Girls' Generation?" Jiang Mingliang asked uncertainly.

"Inside~"
