“Okay, Bill, then, you can contact Mr. Goodell, the president of the NFL, and I need to talk to him first.”
Li Ba didn’t make it difficult for Bill Duffy. This gentleman’s ability is average, but his character and personality are good and he is trustworthy.
“OK.”
Bill Duffy breathed a sigh of relief and quickly started contacting.
New York, NFL headquarters, the phone in the office of the president rang, and secretary Miss Rose answered the call.
This call was Bill Duffy. After greetings, he said, “Miss Rose, Hammer wants to speak to Mr. Goodell in person.”
“OK, I’ll notify Mr. President right away.” Miss Rose didn’t dare to neglect, and immediately knocked on Goodall’s door, and said after entering, “Mr. Hammer, he wants to talk to you.”
“Really, come in right away.”
Goodall laughed. He had been waiting for this call for a few days.
Although the NFL is the most successful professional sports league in North America, its influence in the world is really nothing. In the past ten years, the NBA, which used to be the third among the four major leagues, has been firmly seated with the hammer alone. In addition to his second position, and even some games of the Hammer, the ratings often exceed 100 million. This is already called the Super Bowl. This kind of influence, even in the United States, he hopes the NFL has.
In particular, he hopes to have the influence of the hammer in the world, and use this influence to promote the NFL to the world, which is why he publicly invited.
As for whether the Hammer can be played in the NFL, in fact, this is not the most important thing. For the NFL, let alone the entire league, even a team will not have any adverse effects. On the contrary, it will be due to the addition of the Hammer. Get huge benefits.
The call was quickly connected, and the two began talking.
“Hello, Hammer, I’m Roger Goodall. I’m glad to talk to you. You can call me Roger.”
Goodall’s tone is very cordial and respectful, because the person with whom he is talking is not just a world-class superstar, but also a rich man.
Moreover, this rich man not only has money, but also has the right to speak in the American wine industry. He is someone he absolutely needs to respect.
The right to speak is very important, especially the right to speak in an industry, and money alone will only make people a piece of fat with blood, and will not get enough respect.
“Hello, Roger.” Li Ba said.
After the two exchanged greetings, Li Ba took the initiative to get to the point and said: “Roger, I really plan to join the NFL. Do you have any suggestions?”
“Oh, that’s great!”
Goodall cheered excitedly, and then said: “I suggest you go to some big city teams, you can rest assured, any team in the league will welcome you with open arms. Your joining will be an NFL event, and I will personally attend you. Joining ceremony, we will invite all the mainstream media in the world to participate in your joining ceremony…”
“Roger, I want to go to a team that has never won the Super Bowl.” Li Ba said.
Goodall was taken aback, thought about it, and said: “Hammer, you can actually consider more teams, such as the New York Jets.
This team only won the third Super Bowl in 1969 and has not won a championship in 42 years. It is in New York City and can accommodate your commercial value. It is the best team for you. “
“Jets?”
Li Ba thought for a while, and found it acceptable.
“If Hammer you approve of the Jets, then the Alliance will take care of the rest. What do you think?” Goodall asked.
Li Ba didn’t think too much, and he didn’t need to think too much, so he agreed.
“OK, I’ll arrange it right away. Trust me, it won’t take long before we meet in New York.” Goodall said excitedly.
Putting down the microphone, he rubbed his hands in excitement, and couldn’t wait to look forward to what happened after Li Ba joined.
He believes that with Li Ba’s influence, as long as he joins the NFL, the league is likely to be favored by Chinese broadcasters first.
According to his understanding, because of several Chinese players, especially the hammer, China has more than 100 million NBA fans, which made him drool, and now that the NBA is dead, it is the NFL’s turn.
The reason why he recommends the Jet is the reason he just said, and the other is that his own family has a lot of business dealings with the owner of the Jet, Robert Wood Johnson.
Once the NFL is promoted in China and even the whole world, the Jets will be the team that will directly benefit, and then his family business can also benefit from the fact that Li Ba joined him.
Even if you make good friends with Li Ba, you might not have the opportunity to participate in the wine business.
In addition, the NFL also has a lot of peripheral sales, and is now striving to promote it globally. From men’s, women’s, children’s accessories, to coats, T-shirts, and sweatshirts, the benefits are great. He also values these peripheral tweets, and China’s economy is becoming more and more developed. It is the most important thing.
On June 20th, Bill Duffy accompanied Li Ba to New York to meet with Goodall and Jet owner Johnson.
As Li Ba’s largest sponsor, Hebernahaina, President of Adidas, also participated in this meeting.
“Hammer, Mr. Heiner, nice to meet you.”
“me too.”
The meeting place was chosen at the Hilton Hotel, and upon meeting, there was a warm greeting.
Li Ba observed Johnson, the owner of the jet plane, and looked very excited.
After getting into the main topic, other things are easy to talk about, and the contract is a problem.
The NFL implements a hard salary cap, no luxury tax, and Li Ba has never played in the NFL. There is no strength to talk about now, and it is impossible to give him a big contract, because that would occupy the team’s salary space.
Of course, Li Ba did not consider the issue of more money and less money. The purpose of playing the NFL is different from the original NBA. It is entirely for challenging new attempts, not for making money.
But in his current capacity, let him take a rookie contract, even Jet owner Johnson dare not say it.
Even if it is Adi, it is impossible to agree to let Li Ba take the rookie contract, because that would be self-denial.
The current maximum salary contract of the NFL League is about the same as that of the NBA ~www.mtlnovel.com~about 20 million US dollars. At this level, it cannot be compared with Li Ba’s contract with the Suns, let alone a rookie contract.
But Adi has considered this problem, and Heiner has proposed a solution.
That is, as a sponsor, Adi will provide Li Ba with another sponsorship contract, and then the NFL and Jets will compensate for Adi in other ways, such as advertising channels and other publicity channels.
Adi himself has a lifetime contract for all of Li Ba’s sports events, and this time he has come up with an additional big contract, and I have to say that he did show his sincerity.
The NFL League is also happy to reach an agreement with Li Ba and Adi in this form.
At the same time, the New York Jets will also pay a considerable signing bonus for Li Ba when signing, which is also the tradition of the NFL. This bonus is as high as 50 million US dollars.
For the New York Jets, the first consideration for signing with Li Ba is also the world influence. Because of the huge commercial value of Li Ba, this influence can be directly realized, plus Nike’s support, so even in the future, Li Ba There is not much performance in the NFL, this signing is also very cost-effective, just as a mascot.
