Chapter 520 Ready to Go

Gawain did not speak immediately, but looked at Tobias carefully, then raised his chin slightly, with a light arc at the corner of his mouth.

"Wow, half a billion dollars. Remind me, how many zeros are there in that?"

The 1.5% dividend can only be paid out when the global sales of the product line exceeds US$500 million; moreover, only the portion exceeding US$500 million can be used for dividends.

Simply put, the global sales volume of Gaowen's product line is 501 million US dollars, so Gaowen can get a dividend of 1.5% of 1 million US dollars, which is 15,000 US dollars. It can be seen how difficult it is.

A faint smile gently surged in Gawain's eyes.

"Obviously, you're painting a huge, huge pizza pie."

The joking tone made Tobias laugh as well, and then he could see Gawain's eyebrows slightly raised, revealing a strong sense of confidence.

"But why not?"

"Then let's do it this way."

The light in Tobias' eyes gradually brightened, because he knew that he was about to sign a contract for Gao Wen that would shake the entire professional tennis world and would also become a highlight in his personal career. They were making history, and every step they took was history.

Tobias knew how crazy this contract was, but he was also full of confidence in Gawain. He believed that this contract was a win-win for Gawain and Nike. Adidas would regret that they had not been more decisive, bold, and adventurous.

Gambling actually requires a little bit of gambler's spirit.

Thump! Thump! His heart started beating wildly, and then Tobias stood up straight. Without turning around, he tilted his head slightly and called out to the bathroom.

"Ian, we are in a hurry, can you speed up a little?"

Pop.

The bathroom door opened immediately, and Jenkins appeared in the room, showing a row of neat and white teeth in high spirits, obviously unable to wait.

"I'm ready, how about we make some waves together?"

The signing of the contract is naturally not that quick. The legal teams of Nike and IMG agency will need to conduct in-depth discussions on the details of the contract. However, both parties have reviewed the first version of the contract and reached a consensus on the key points and framework, so the overall direction will not deviate.

It is basically certain that Gao Wen will soon become a member of the Nike family.

Everything happened too fast. Both sides were ready and waiting for this moment. The advancement speed was naturally extraordinary, like a tornado, roaring past with great force. Before one dark horse storm had time to subside, another heavy storm was already brewing.

However, they had no time to open champagne to celebrate. Accompanied by Tobias and Jenkins, Gowen immediately took a car to Rockefeller Plaza in downtown New York City, where he was about to participate in the live broadcast of the "Today Show".

In the United States, morning news programs have always been popular, including "Good Morning America", "The Oprah Show", "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and other programs that accompany people's busy times of breakfast, work, and morning meetings. Among them, "The Today Show" is the absolute king, dominating the morning ratings for more than 30 years.

Although "Good Morning America" ​​and "The Today Show" were in a fierce competition in the mid-1990s, with each winning and losing alternately, after entering the millennium, "The Today Show" has widened the gap again and has never given up the throne of ratings champion. It is undoubtedly the first choice of morning for residents across the United States.

The "Today Show" is a live show with a broadcast duration ranging from two to four hours. Special programs are arranged according to special days and special situations. It includes multiple sections such as current affairs, society, entertainment, sports, weather, etc. All are broadcast live to discuss the real-time hot spots of the day.

Among them, of course, there are many professional sports players. Many NBA and NFL players have appeared on the show. The top pick after the draft has appeared on the screen more than once. As one of the most important and grand events in New York, how could the US Open champion be missed? The fish tank live broadcast room located at the corner of Rockefeller Plaza is a legendary signboard for 30 years. The hosts broadcast the show in the fish tank live broadcast room. All pedestrians coming and going can see the activities in the live broadcast room, and pedestrians will also become the objects recorded by the camera lens.

This fish tank live broadcast room has become the signature of the program team, and many tourists are very happy to come here to watch when they visit New York.

Today, Gao Wen will appear on the live stage of the "Today Show" as the new US Open champion. This is also his first show after winning the championship.

Jenkins and Nike's plan was to hold a well-known and unoriginal press conference instead of a surprise appearance on a national live broadcast as the first collaboration between Gowen and Nike. At the same time, Nike's public relations team was ready to support the publicity.

They are ready to make a big move.

It was for this reason that Jenkins followed Gowen to the "Today Show". He needed to be responsible for the situation on the scene and coordinate with the headquarters to complete a historic project.

From the details, we can see that Nike is determined to win. After considering all aspects, they offered Gawain a contract clause that he could not refuse. Then, everything was ready and ready to go. Once Gawain nodded, everything started to move at double the speed.

On the way from Flushing to Manhattan, Jenkins and Tobias were both busy, with one phone call and one meeting after another. Nike and IMG agency teamed up to brew a storm, but the protagonist Gawain had some free time.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

However, Gawain also has his own troubles——

The "Today Show" is a live broadcast, which means that every move will be broadcast in real time, with no room for error and no buffer. Although tennis matches are also broadcast live, they are ultimately two things in two different fields, and the situations they face are naturally completely different.

Especially when arriving at the fish tank live broadcast room, one can feel the sharp contrast between the orderly and cheerful conversation in front of the camera and the fast walking outside the camera. The entire program production team is like a high-speed precision instrument, busy in chaos and order.

The whole atmosphere suddenly became completely different, as if entering another world, a world that Gawain was equally familiar with and equally curious about.

As a journalism graduate, Gao Wen entered the media industry step by step after leaving tennis due to a knee injury in his previous life. However, he first worked in print media and then entered new media and public relations companies. He has not had much contact with television media, and only stayed there for a few months during his internship.

Gao Wen thought he would be nervous during the live show, but when he actually put on the portable microphone and prepared to go on stage, his excitement and joy became more obvious.

Eager to try!
