I'm a ball devil

Chapter 121 Reception
Of course Benson and Lucy knew that they were hated by Ye Hao, and it was impossible to get good looks from Ye Hao directly.

So they found Durant's agent and asked Durant's agent to persuade Durant to take Ye Hao to a reception.

And this reception was also held in the name of Nike, and many players who endorsed Nike were invited to participate.

The ultimate goal of holding this reception is to win Ye Hao, a big fish who has not yet confirmed the sneaker endorsement.

In order to sign a rookie player, it was a lot of effort to hold such a reception.

Durant mentioned such a thing to Ye Hao, Ye Hao didn't want to participate in it, isn't it more delicious than a reception?
But hearing that Kobe might also appear at the reception, Ye Hao agreed to attend together.

It's true that I haven't seen Kobe for a long time, but the two often communicate on the phone or in emails.

When he knew that Ye Hao won the Rookie of the Week and Player of the Week awards, Kobe would send him his congratulations.

Obviously, Kobe is much more satisfied with Ye Hao, an informal "disciple" than his teammates.

Even Kobe praised Ye Hao's performance in some public or private occasions, supporting Ye Hao's success in the NBA.

For a rookie player to be so optimistic, this happened to Kobe, which is rarely seen, and it can be said that there was no such thing before.

Durant and Ye Hao arrived at the reception and found that many players had already arrived.

James is here, Anthony is here, Kobe is here...

And his Chinese compatriot Ah Lian also came...

This lineup arrangement is clearly beyond the reach of the little brand director Benson.

When Benson proposed this idea, he just wanted to set up a banquet. As long as Ye Hao appeared, he would trick Ye Hao into a beauty trick, and then coax Ye Hao to sign the contract and the matter would be over.

But when he reported the idea of ​​holding a reception to lobby Ye Hao to sign the contract to Bob, the brand director, and then Bob reported it to Tom, the vice president of Nike, the matter was taken into consideration.

Tom personally made the decision to hold a high-end reception, attract luxurious lobby members, and strive to win Ye Hao.

So there was such a reception, so Benson and Lucy had to step aside, and their vice president came forward in person.

In this reception, Nike not only showed its strength to Ye Hao, but also wanted to take advantage of the face of the luxury lobby group.

It can be seen that Nike now regards Ye Hao as a strategic player who can affect the company's future, and has been promoted to the level of James.

Whenever such a player appears, Nike will not let go of the opportunity and will do everything in its power to win.

Their company has tasted great sweetness in the historical process of its rise.

With Jordan, the god of basketball, he was able to catch up with his competitors, and when Adi gave up Kobe, he took Kobe under his banner, and then bet heavily on LeBron James and Durant.

Every time, it can be said that he stepped on the right node and signed the No.1 of the alliance for several generations.

This kind of vision for selecting people is really much better than that of the old hooligans.

Seeing Ye Hao coming, Kobe came over and greeted him with a smile, "Ye, congratulations on winning the player of the week award."

Ye Hao replied with a smile: "Thank you, I'm sorry, I stole your award."

"Hahaha... you boy. If you have the ability, you continue to grab!" Kobe laughed out loud at Ye Hao's words.

The atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.

At this time, LeBron James also came over, and he naturally joined the conversation circle. I have to say that James is still very good at this point, with a high emotional intelligence. He really deserves to be a social little prince who has made friends all over the league.

"You two rookie partners played well, I'm optimistic about you." James said with a smile.

Durant scratched his head shyly beside Ye Hao, "It's all thanks to Ye Hao..."

Really. A little shy. Du Xiaoshuai.

James then asked Ye Hao jokingly: "I heard that this reception is to draw you into our Nike lineup family. Are you interested in joining?"

James has turned into a lobbyist directly. Hearing about it is just a pretext for nonsense. Given the importance Nike attaches to him, inviting him to this reception will naturally let him know the inside story. His influence lobbied Ye Hao.

Ye Hao laughed, looked at James and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will steal your top card position after I come in? The condition I offer them is to be higher than your contract offer."

Ye Hao asked Nike for a contract that surpassed that of James. This matter has long been spread and almost the entire league knows about it.

Many people had dismissed it as a joke before, but like Benson and Lucy, no one would take it seriously.

But Ye Hao persisted. A brand owner had previously offered him an endorsement contract like Durant's, but he didn't sign it.

This makes people realize that what he said is serious, and it is really not just a joke.

"If I was worried, I wouldn't come today. There is competition to develop, and it is good for everyone to make the cake bigger together." James said shaking his head.

"However, a company's resources are always limited. If they spend resources to push me, they will spend less resources on you, and vice versa. Moreover, what kind of contract do you think they should give me? "

James smiled and said: "I think this should be discussed between you and the company. In short, I welcome you very much. And I am not worried about the allocation of resources for promotion. I believe that cooperation can have a strong synergy. .”

"Okay, thank you for your suggestion and welcome, LeBron. I will seriously consider it." Ye Hao extended his hand to shake James' hand to express his gratitude.

James smiled and walked away with his wine glass in his hand, and went to chat with other people next door. His lobbying work has been done, and the rest depends on Ye Hao's consideration and the sincerity of Nike. This is not something he can do. decided.

Ye Hao chatted with Kobe for a while. Based on his experience, Kobe switched from Adidas to Nike, and told Ye Hao that Nike is indeed unique in the operation of spokespersons. He asked Ye Hao to take a long-term view.

Ye Hao nodded. In fact, it wasn’t that he hadn’t considered Nike, but the quotation Nike gave him and the funny looks of Benson and Lucy made him somewhat upset.

However, then again, brand endorsement is the operation of capital, which is ruthless and cruel. If you have no strength or performance, no one will look up to you.

There is absolutely no pity and pity in the world of capital.

Only when it is profitable, capital will chase after you like a dog wagging its tail, otherwise, if you don't bark at you twice and bite you twice, it's not bad.

The old saying in the league is good, it's just a business.

Moreover, this matter can also be considered in reverse. In the beginning, apart from Nike, there were really few brands that offered him an offer contract.

This shows that Nike first discovered his value, and other brands came to him after he had a hot performance in the regular season.

Capital is all about the same face, and it will move after hearing the profit, and it will not be early if there is no profit.

There is not much difference between superior and inferior, so it is more practical to talk about the size of the contract, the market strategy direction and investment in the follow-up operation of his shoes.

Don't talk about the price, but just play the emotional card to fool you, that's a hooligan, just like the boss who keeps drawing big cakes that cannot be honored by the employees, which is disgusting.

So Ye Hao is willing to talk to Nike, as long as his requirements can be met, then he might not be able to sign with Nike.

Of course, he will choose the best option among all the options.

Ye Hao was willing to sit down and talk with them. Tom and Bob felt that this reception was worthwhile. Whether the talk can be completed depends on their own abilities. According to the evaluation of Ye Hao's potential and commercial value by many experts in the company, Whether the contract offered can impress Ye Hao.

Of course, it is impossible to discuss specific negotiations at the reception. After the two parties agree on a time to sit down and talk in detail, it is time for the scene to exchange feelings.

Although Ye Hao is not likely to walk around like a "social butterfly" like James,
But he didn't find a corner to sit and eat and drink alone like Ah Lian did. No one talked to him and he didn't talk to others.

At the beginning of the reception, Ah Lian also greeted Ye Hao, chatted for a few words, then toasted some people he knew before, and then stayed quietly in the corner.

No, Ye Hao, he talked and laughed happily with Kobe, met many people with James, and even greeted Melon and chatted for a while, after all, he had played against each other before.

Ball Devil is not crazy and cannot survive in basketball, but these basic manners of dealing with people and interpersonal communication, he knew in his previous life,
Since I didn't practice the ball today and came out to attend the reception, let's relax and make some friends.

The future of the NBA will move towards the era of superstar grouping. Now get acquainted with some people, maybe you can disrupt the rhythm and direction of some people's grouping, and reduce your own resistance to winning the championship.

Or when you need help, you can help the team.

He doesn't want to be a loner in the football world, if no one wants to play with him, that would be too miserable.

No matter how strong a person is, it is difficult to lead a group of third- and fourth-rate players to win the championship.

The so-called single-core leading the team to win the championship also requires the role players around them to make sufficient contributions.

And Durant, who brought him here, seemed a little shy, not as relaxed as Ye Hao, but he didn't sit in a corner, he was also chatting with some familiar players.

The reception went quite well.

When Tom and Bob were chatting with Ye Hao.

Benson and Lucy also came over with wine glasses, and the main purpose of clinking glasses with Ye Hao was naturally for reconciliation.

Now their immediate superiors and company bosses are supporting Ye Hao, Ye Hao is no longer someone they can afford to offend.

"Mr. Ye, I've offended you so much before. I'm sorry, I'm here to apologize to you." With a smile on his face, Benson handed over the wine glass in his hand, wanting to clink glasses with Ye Hao.

It's just that Ye Hao ignored him at all, and didn't move the wine glass in his hand.

The air suddenly became embarrassingly quiet, and the smile on Benson's face froze in embarrassment.

Lucy, who was behind him, hurried forward two steps, and smiled charmingly, "Mr. Ye, you have a lot of adults, not counting the faults of villains.

I was blind to Taishan before, and I offended you, but that was not what I said sincerely.

You are handsome and handsome, and my heart has long been convinced by you.

The reason why I said that is because I listened to some people's instigation, so I said some insincere words.

I apologize to you here, sorry, Mr. Ye, please forgive me.

I hope you can reach a cooperation with our company, and I will definitely do my best to satisfy you with the best and most meticulous service. "

Tonight's Lucy is obviously well-groomed, with heavy makeup and just the right amount of perfume, and a purple dress with a shoulderless backless high-slit evening dress, fully releasing her charm .

Benson was already swallowing his saliva after seeing her for the first time tonight, planning to take Lucy to the hotel to spend the Spring Festival together after the party, and toss for three or two minutes.

Yay, comfortable.

It's just that Benson didn't expect that what Lucy said in front of Ye Hao at this time obviously meant to blame him for the previous matter.

Hasn't the beauty trick been stopped?

But what Lucy meant was to trick Ye Hao into a beauty trick, but also to take the blame off of her.

Want to step on your own position?This woman is so vicious.

Why did I miss her before, and thought she was gentle, cute and beautiful, and spent a lot of time on her, paving the way for her and helping her get rid of some people she didn't like,

This kind of dedication thought that she could get her affection in return,

But the immediate result is so ironic.

Benson was anxious, "Mr. Ye, it's not like that, it's not like that, don't listen to her nonsense.

I have offended you verbally, you can apologize as much as you want me to do.

But I really didn't instigate Lucy, we are each responsible..."

Ye Hao shook his head and said with a faint smile, "I remember I said at the time, we have to go to the end and see who is dreaming. Now you say, who is dreaming?"

Benson immediately replied: "I am dreaming, I am dreaming, I have eyes that do not recognize Mount Tai, I do not have eyes to see Mr. Ye's potential, it is my fault, Mr. Ye please forgive me."

Ye Hao smiled lightly, then turned to look at Vice President Tom, "What do you think?"

Tom's face was turning blue with anger at this moment, and he asked Bob, "Who are these two people? Are they under your command? How do they work? They almost messed up things. Go back and find someone and They talk, they do the transition, and when the transition is over, let them go."

Bob bowed his head and replied, "Okay, I'll deal with it as soon as possible."

Benson's body suddenly collapsed on the ground, "I have worked for the company for so many years, and I have worked hard without credit. You can't just fire me like this!"

He threw himself at Ye Hao's feet, "Mr. Ye, please help me, I can't lose this job! I really can't lose this job! Please, Mr. Ye, I'll give you Kneel down."

Lucy was also frightened by this result, her face turned pale, and she also begged Ye Hao with a sad face, "Mr. Ye, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, please say something, let the company keep me, I am willing to do it." Anything to compensate you will definitely satisfy you, Mr. Ye, I beg you."

It's just that Ye Hao ignored them at all, turned around and walked away.

Bob called the security at the scene, picked them up, and took them out.
