  Continue to vote!

  In this life, people will always encounter many new things and then suddenly realize that what they understand is actually very little, and there are still many shortcomings that need to be learned.

  "Mr. Tang, we know your schedule is very tight at the moment, so I won't take up too much of your time either. Our company has come with great sincerity, and there's no need to say more. This is the endorsement contract our company has prepared for you, please take a careful look. If there are any issues, feel free to raise them and we can discuss modifications!"

  On a sunny morning, sitting in the 18th floor coffee shop of the Windermere Supreme Hotel, surrounded by the tranquil and cool atmosphere, smelling the rich aroma of milk and coffee floating in the air, this is really a great enjoyment.

  It would be even better if it wasn't for discussing business cooperation, especially with a bald and pot-bellied middle-aged man.

  Someone was thinking so, but he politely took a draft from the desk in front of the bald man with both hands, and then opened this very formal contract template after glancing at the cover page.

  The contract was unexpectedly thin, with only 14 clauses, which didn't look like the kind of thing he had imagined with all sorts of clauses piled up.

  Isn't it full of loopholes? A rookie just scanned the content and couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency, this is not something to be taken lightly! Many celebrities have been trapped by contract pitfalls, I absolutely cannot sign carelessly!

  He had made up his mind and then began to look at the contract.

  Party A: Xiangnan Zhongyi Food Co., Ltd.

  Party B: Tang Xiaosha

  Image spokesperson, portrait rights holder: Tang Xiao Sa

  Both parties, A and B, based on the principles of friendship, mutual benefit, and complete voluntariness, have reached an agreement through consultation and have agreed on the following terms:

  Party A hires Party B (Tang Xiaosha) as the image spokesperson for ___ Zhongyi Food Co., Ltd., to shoot flat photos and video commercials, with a total payment of 1.8 million yuan (RMB), for a period of two years...

  "I'm so sorry, I don't think I can sign this contract!"

  Just seeing the first clause, which is also the most concerned clause for all stars, Xiao Shuai directly frowned and put down the contract, then said very bluntly: "The price is too low, I can't accept it!"

  Damn it, don't mention how much attention I'll get after this episode of "Happy Camp" is broadcast. Just talk about my current popularity. Based on the 60 million members in the White Tieba community where I'm ranked first, shouldn't you at least offer me 15 million yuan for a year? You actually offered a price of 18 million yuan for two years? Do you really think I'm some naive rookie who's never seen money before?

  Someone's face and tone were not quite right, almost as if they were about to get up and leave. However, the bald middle-aged man opposite him did not blow his top or change his expression, but instead burst out laughing and said: "Haha, little brother is indeed quick-witted!"

  His laughter made someone feel a bit depressed because he didn't know what this guy was laughing at, was he mocking his brother?

  At this time, the bald man stopped laughing and explained to him: "It's like this, originally our company planned to invite the famous actress Sun Li as the only image spokesperson, but considering your brother's rising fame, and the endless skills that always cause a strong reaction, so after discussion at the meeting, our company decided to invite you and Ms. Sun together to be the image spokesperson for our company!"

  "Sorry, I'd love to work with Miss Sun, but this price is really unacceptable!" Xiao Shuai still shook his head and refused bluntly: "To be honest, if an ordinary newcomer could get such an opportunity just after becoming famous, it would indeed be exciting. But for me, a salary of less than 20 million per year after tax really doesn't have much significance."

  Okay, someone has started negotiating the price. Although his bottom line is 1.5 million/year, as the saying goes, the opening price is not the transaction price. If you don't start high, others won't give you a high price either. So, he directly quoted 2 million/year.

  "2 million/year?" The bald man expressed his shock in a timely manner, raising two fingers and increasing his voice in surprise: "Are you kidding me, bro? This price can already invite big stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan! Sun Li is only 1.8 million/year... Uh, anyway, this price is really impossible, we can't agree to it!"

  It seems that he realized he had misspoken, the bald man hurriedly shut his mouth, and then went straight to say: "I know that your reputation is now well-known nationwide, almost everyone knows about your deeds and abilities, but, after all, you are a newcomer, right? Being able to get such a good contract should be satisfying enough."

  "I'm afraid I won't be able to agree to that!" Xiao Sa Ge said with a firm expression, shaking his head again. He then took out his phone and glanced at the time before standing up and saying, "If that's all, then I'll take my leave. This afternoon, I have a meeting with Nike's planning department manager here." With that, he extended his hand for a farewell handshake.

  Look, now that you know this news, can you still sit there with a calm face?

  "Little brother, wait a minute!"

  As expected, the bald man immediately stood up, looking at someone with a mixture of surprise and annoyance on his face, and asked in extreme astonishment: "The Nike you mentioned is an American sports goods company?"

  It's finally settled then! Someone hummed in their heart.

  "Of course, is there another big company named Nike? Someone said calmly: "Because your company was the first to contact and invite my company, so I put you in the first place. No matter what, business is not successful but morality remains. In the future, I think we still have hope for cooperation!"

  After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to shake the bald man's hand, but was instead grasped by the latter, who said in a sincere tone: "Would you mind waiting for a moment? I'd like to make a phone call back and carefully explain your request to the big boss, please wait for a moment!"

  Facing a bald-headed man with an honest face, Xiao Ge thought for a moment and said: "No problem, but please hurry up, I still have something to deal with!"

  "It must be very quick, thank you!" The bald man thanked him and immediately took his mobile phone and went out of the coffee shop.

  "Hmm, this trick is indeed useful! You think you can get me to endorse for 90/year? Let's see how you explain yourself now!" Someone smiled and picked up a cup of milk tea coffee, savoring it leisurely.

  Outside the café, the bald man first dialed a number and said sternly: "You quickly check online for the latest news about Tang Xiao Sao, see if he has been in contact with Nike... What? This message is all over the internet? Is it true or false? Hmph, can't you make a rough judgment? ...Oh, it seems to be somewhat true! Alright, continue to pay attention!"

  "My god, how did Nike take a liking to him? Isn't he just a dunker?" He hung up the phone with an incredulous expression, then muttered to himself for a moment before dialing another number. "Director Chen, there's some important news that requires your decision... Yes, Tang Xiao didn't agree to our offer at all... Forget it? ...No, no, the key is that Nike in the US has already extended an invitation to him, we can't give up on this opportunity! Stars who have been noticed by Nike basically never fall through!"

  The bald man wiped the sweat while explaining, and the person on the other end of the phone also paused for a moment before saying: "You're absolutely right, a star who can be valued by an international brand like Nike is indeed worth our attention. So, how much did he ask for?"

  "This, he turned over and added a bit more!" The bald man scratched his head and said in a low voice: "His asking price is 20 million/year, and his tone was quite firm. I'm afraid he won't accept the 12 million/year we had in mind..."

  "...The next two years will be a crucial period for our company's leapfrog development. Whether we can become a nationally renowned enterprise and one of the top ten companies in the same industry depends on our efforts over the next two years..."

  The person on the other end of the phone, Mr. Chen, was silent for a moment before speaking with a sense of solemnity, and just as Baldy was starting to get anxious, he said in a decisive tone: "Sun Li is 180,000 per year, if he agrees, we'll give him the same price, but he must sign a three-year contract. If he doesn't agree, then that's it!"
