In the end, it was Bai Yu who made the final decision on the matter of salvaging the sunken ship.
In any case, this time they at least roughly knew the location of the shipwreck. If they still don't dare to take a chance under these circumstances, then they should stay away from this line of work in the future.
As if Li Shuang had anticipated Bai Yu's agreement, he immediately took out a plan and placed it in front of Bai Yu after she agreed.
"Brother Yu, the plan is all done. The current budget is ten million. We've found two professional salvage vessels, and a few other vessels as well."
"Hey kid, you were waiting for me here. I just agreed, and you pulled out the proposal. Did you know I would agree?"
"Absolutely, Brother Yu. We all know each other well enough to guess this, it's a piece of cake!"
"Okay, I'll sign it then. We'll refund any overpayment or charge any underpayment for the budget."
"Don't worry, Brother Yu, I definitely won't put any money into it myself."
Hahahaha!
Amidst laughter and cheers, Bai Yu signed his name on the plan.
Actually, it would be fine to sign Li Xue's name instead of his on this proposal, since Li Xue is the general manager.
Originally, Li Shuang intended for Li Xue to sign this plan, but he didn't expect Bai Yu to return so quickly. He had just finished getting the basic information from someone when Bai Yu came back.
However, this also saved him a lot of trouble, since getting Bai Yu's signature was much easier.
Once Bai Yu has signed his name, he can then go to Xia Jing for her signature. Xia Jing is in charge of the company's finances, and he needs to get the payment from her.
But before that, he had some things to talk to Bai Yu about.
The main topic of discussion was his promotional activities for the Olympics, as well as the related products his company would sell during that period.
As the Olympics approach, news about Bai Yu's long-distance running has become increasingly popular, and as Bai Yu's popularity rises, the popularity of the companies under his name will naturally also increase.
This can be seen from the number of viewers in the live streams during this period; sales have increased significantly.
Once Bai Yu wins the championship again at this Olympics, the popularity of their live stream will inevitably rise even more, perhaps even before the competition ends, when the popularity of the Olympics opening ceremony will have already increased.
Li Shuang is discussing these things with Bai Yu now to prepare for the follow-up work and to come up with several preliminary plans in advance.
No matter how high the hype gets, their company can handle it easily.
Otherwise, if they don't do a good job of preparation and end up in a flustered situation, wouldn't that make their company seem very unprofessional?
In addition, we also need to talk to Bai Yu about product selection to see if he has any products he likes.
Regarding the products, Bai Yu only made one request: Anta products must be available every day.
There's nothing we can do about it; Bai Yu is Anta's spokesperson, and for an exorbitant price at that.
Since the last Olympics, Bai Yu became the first Asian to achieve a Grand Slam in long-distance running, and he signed a two-year, high-priced endorsement contract with Anta.
After his contract expired last year, while Bai Yu was still traveling the world on a yacht, Anta contacted him again to discuss a new endorsement.
This time, the other party offered another astronomical contract, an 80 million yuan contract for one year, which would end after the Paris Olympics.
But that's not all. Anta offered an 80 million yuan endorsement deal for a year, but they had conditions: their company would have priority signing rights after the Paris Olympics.
Of course, the signing price was based on Bai Yu's performance at the Olympics.
This time, Bai Yu is participating in three projects. If Bai Yu can win one of them, which is a double grand slam, then he will be offered a lifetime contract.
His contract fee was 20 million per year for the first ten years. If Bai Yu retired or left the internet after ten years, the fee would drop to several million. If he was still active online, the fee would be determined by his popularity. The contract would end when Bai Yu turned sixty.
If he wins two championships, which is two Grand Slams, the contract will be a lifetime contract. However, the signing fee will be 60 million per year for the first ten years, and a minimum of 10 million for the next ten years, which is negotiable. After that, the fee is negotiable until Bai Yu turns sixty.
If he wins three championships, which is three Grand Slams, the amount will be 100 million per year for the first ten years. The amount can be increased according to inflation. The guaranteed amount for ten to twenty years is 30 million, which can be negotiated. The contract term is also until Bai Yu is sixty years old.
Bai Yu simply couldn't find a reason not to sign such a tempting contract that offered him decades of security.
So now he has once again become Anta's spokesperson, and Anta has also become a deep partner of their company.
To be honest, the annual sales of Anta-related products sold by Bai Yu's company are also in the hundreds of millions.
The other party signed Bai Yu as their spokesperson and then collaborated with their company; they really won big.
Even disregarding sales figures, this is still a very positive development for Anta's stock price.
Since the other party first signed Bai Yu, their stock price has increased by at least 20% in the past two years. You have to know that Anta's stock price is more than 200 billion Hong Kong dollars. A 20% increase is a huge sum of money!
Most importantly, they signed Bai Yu as a spokesperson that they can be said to have signed with complete peace of mind.
After all, it's been almost ten years since Bai Yu debuted. Apart from liking to criticize fans and looking down on all the contestants in his posts, he has no flaws.
Even the two points mentioned above cannot be considered shortcomings. Criticizing fans is seen as showing high friendliness and a love for interacting with them.
Looking down on other contestants doesn't mean looking down on just one particular contestant; it means looking down on all other contestants based on one's own abilities.
Because of the benefits that Anta has reaped, many other brands now want Bai Yu to be their spokesperson.
Now Li Shuang is planning to take advantage of this time to see if she should help Bai Yu select some brands that are good in terms of both reputation and quality, and then give Bai Yu a reference.
After all, these days it's not just celebrity endorsements that can damage a brand's image; there are also many cases where a brand's downfall can negatively impact the image of its celebrity endorsers.
The main reason Bai Yu was unwilling to accept too many advertisements was this: he didn't want to be implicated by others.
This is why Bai Yu's company doesn't charge for slots when they promote products. Otherwise, given their company's capabilities, even if they set the slot fee at a high price of several million, I think countless brands would still come to buy slots.
Bai Yu wasn't particularly worried about this. He believed that Li Shuang and the others could uphold the bottom line and prevent unscrupulous businesses from sneaking in.
Even if someone actually dares to sneak in, consider it a treat for the fans. Their company will then team up with consumers to sue them and bankrupt them.
You should know that their company has a legal team, and they are very professional lawyers. If one lawyer can't handle it, there's another one. If the student can't handle it, they can ask the teacher. If the teacher can't handle it, they can ask the professor. And there are professors above the professors!
As for Bai Yu, he can focus on the Olympics and strive for better results to bring more popularity to the company!
