Chapter 1562 I Can't Do It

Beaverton, Oregon, USA, is just an ordinary small city in the United States, but with the rise of a company, it has become well-known to the world. And this company is - ke!

ke, a well-known brand that is known to almost all children and adults around the world. Simply put, ke is the best sports shoe manufacturer in the world. So, when Lin Feng came to Beaverton, he asked a passerby and arrived at the "ke" headquarters.

The ke headquarters is not as grand as Lin Feng imagined. With the fame of "ke", Lin Feng's impression should be that there is a very luxurious headquarters. For example, the "Blizzard" headquarters, the game character statues and various huge posters displayed everywhere, all remind people that this is the "Blizzard" headquarters.

But at the "ke" headquarters, Lin Feng, led by the receptionist, walked all the way. If he didn't know clearly that he was at the "ke" headquarters at this moment, I'm afraid Lin Feng would have thought he was in a township enterprise in the country. It is simple and plain to the extreme, without a trace of fancy and impractical places. But along the way, Lin Feng always felt that the "ke" headquarters was a little abnormal, and always felt a little uncomfortable.

After a long time, Lin Feng slapped his thigh fiercely, knowing where he felt the strangeness of the "ke" headquarters - there was not a pair of shoes at the "ke" headquarters. The headquarters of the world's largest sports shoe manufacturer today, there was not a pair of shoes to be seen, which really made Lin Feng a little unbelievable.

However, after Lin Feng met William Perez, the president of "ke", the answer was revealed. At the "ke" headquarters, all employees only do two things - one is to establish a global marketing network, and the other is to manage its companies all over the world. Therefore, you will not see a pair of shoes at the "ke" headquarters, because there is no need. If you want to design shoes, there will be a special design research institute to be responsible for it, and the headquarters is only responsible for the two most core projects - marketing and sales. And this is also the most core thing for any enterprise.

"ke" is to outsource all other possible cumbersome things, and the head office is only responsible for the most core things. This can not only reduce costs, but also maximize efficiency. This is the most efficient company model for modern enterprises.

For the "ke" model, Lin Feng seemed to have some understanding.

"Mr. Lin, may I ask what you can do for us at 'ke' today?" William Perez, president of 'ke', was caught off guard by Lin Feng's sudden rebellion. A meeting that was originally scheduled to be held was temporarily cancelled because of Lin Feng's arrival.

Lin Feng smiled.

"I want Sharapova!" Lin Feng did not hide his intention and said directly.

Sharapova? —— William Perez was slightly stunned, and it took him a long time to turn around.

"Mr. Lin,

I heard that you don't seem to have a sports goods company. What's the point of you wanting her portrait rights? If it's in other fields, it doesn't seem to conflict with us." William Perez said with a smile.

Lin Feng smiled.

"But now I have just established a sports goods company, so I need it. William, 'ke' has so many stars, why not give Sharapova to me! Anyway, you don't need her." Lin Feng said.

Vomiting blood! William Perez was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he heard what Lin Feng said. Is there anyone who talks like you? Although there are so many stars under "ke", everyone is an indispensable person in the "ke" kingdom. If you just say it casually, you want someone to leave, then how can "ke" gain a foothold in the sporting goods industry in the future? Besides, although you, Lin Feng, are the richest man in the world, you don't have such a big face. It's not big enough for "ke" to give up to you just by saying a word.

Besides, Sharapova is the most popular female star nowadays. With beautiful appearance and extraordinary skills, as long as she is well trained, she will definitely have a larger market than Kournikova.

Therefore, "ke" will modify the contract twice in a row, and finally lock Sharapova with an eight-year contract of 70 million. As a result, you come here to ask for her in such a big way, which is too outrageous.

"Mr. Lin, Miss Sharapova is a new generation of idols that our company focuses on cultivating. In the next eight years, she will definitely belong to "ke." William Perez said word by word, telling Lin Feng in a sonorous tone that "ke" will never give up Sharapova.

Lin Feng smiled slightly.

"Name a price!" Lin Feng said.

"Not for sale!" William Perez shouted coldly.

"Everything has a value. The only difference is the value." Lin Feng said.

"Sharapova is not for sale!" William Perez looked disdainful.

"But what if I must have Sharapova?" Lin Feng said in embarrassment, "If so, then I can only choose to buy out Sharapova's contract. I heard that she was charged a $10,000 penalty last time she signed the contract. I think this $10,000 should not be a big problem for me."

William Perez's heart skipped a beat. $10,000, when she signed the contract with Sharapova, this number was very consistent with Sharapova's worth. But now, Sharapova, who just won the US championship, is worth far more than this number. Fortunately, he just signed a new contract with Sharapova, and the penalty has reached $100 million. Although Lin Feng can still come up with $100 million, as Lin Feng said, everything has its value. If the price paid is too high and the benefits it can get are not worth it, it will not be worth it.

So William Perez is very confident.

"Mr. Lin, unfortunately, I just signed a contract with Miss Sharapova for eight years and a penalty of $100 million." William Perez stared at Lin Feng, trying to see the annoyance and anger on his face.

I don't know when it started, but more and more people like to see Lin Feng get humiliated. After all, Lin Feng has always been a bully. Whoever can bully Lin Feng feels very good. —— William Perez is the same. Today, Lin Feng came to the door aggressively and asked for Sharapova. It was too much. If I could see Lin Feng getting humiliated and angry, I would be relieved.

But obviously, William Perez was disappointed. Lin Feng didn't even frown when he heard the figure of $100 million.

"Mr. Perez, I think you should know that I just won $100 million at the Athens Olympics this time. It shouldn't be a problem to pay $100 million in compensation. What do you think?" Lin Feng asked back.

William Perez frowned. For Lin Feng, taking out $100 million is really nothing, just a drop in the bucket.

"Mr. Perez, I'll ask you one last time, will Sharapova give it to me? If you give it to me, I'm willing to compensate your company with 100 million US dollars, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." Lin Feng said.

William Perez was furious when he heard this. It was too infuriating. Lin Feng came to bully people. But just when William Perez was about to slam the table and curse Lin Feng, he suddenly received a call. Then, his whole momentum suddenly changed.

"Mr. Lin, if you want Sharapova to be a god, you must pay 100 million US dollars in compensation, not a penny less. Otherwise, you can't take her away." William Perez snorted.

It was not for sale just now, but now it can be sold as a god. There seems to be something fishy about it. ——Lin Feng was puzzled.

"Mr. Lin, this is our final offer. If you can offer 100 million US dollars, then we will not tear our faces apart and will take the initiative to terminate the contract with Sharapova, so that you don't have to bear the bad reputation of poaching people. I wonder what Mr. Lin thinks?" William Perez said.

There is something weird! This is too weird. Although William Perez still holds on to the 100 million US dollars, his attitude at this moment is completely different from before. The difference between the two is not obvious, but Lin Feng, who observes carefully, can find a clue from his words.

"100 million US dollars! This is my final offer." Lin Feng said.

If William Perez still disagrees, Lin Feng can only take the last resort - tear up Sharapova's contract before William Perez. In that case, Lin Feng only needs to compensate William Perez 100 million US dollars.

"No, 100 million. Don't forget, we still have to convince Sharapova. Otherwise, if we terminate the contract rashly, we will have to pay a huge compensation. Your 100 million is only enough to compensate Sharapova." William Perez took the opportunity to raise the price.

"Sharapova has signed a contract with me. As long as your company is willing to let her go, Sharapova will appear in my company immediately." Lin Feng said.

"In this case, there is an old saying in your country - a gentleman has the beauty of a successful person, so we will sell Sharapova to you. This is Sharapova's contract, and it belongs to you now." William Perez said.

Lin Feng thought about it, and finally took out 100 million US dollars to bring Sharapova into his account. Although Lin Feng could tear up the latest contract, forcing Sharapova to do so would not only affect his own reputation, but would also indirectly affect Sharapova's popularity. This is what Lin Feng did not want to see. 100 million, to buy Sharapova's popularity and reputation, Lin Feng felt it was worth it.

Then the two parties signed and reached a friendly agreement on the transfer of Sharapova's ownership.

"Mr. Lin, do you know why I will sell Sharapova to you?" William Perez suddenly laughed.

Lin Feng frowned.

"It's very simple, because of this medical report." William Perez handed Lin Feng a medical report that had just been faxed.

It clearly stated that Sharapova's shoulder was over-exercised, causing the shoulder bones to be dislocated, and it would take at least a year to fully recover. As for whether it will not bring subsequent effects in the future, that depends on personal luck. And many famous players have to bid farewell to the altar in advance because of too serious shoulder injuries, or their status has declined sharply, and they have quickly fallen from once-powerful famous players to mediocre people.

Lin Feng took a breath of cold air. He didn't expect that Sharapova was so seriously injured. Seeing William Perez's smiling face, he suddenly understood. No wonder William Perez suddenly changed his mind and agreed to sell Sharapova to himself.

Cunning American! —— Lin Feng cursed secretly.

"Mr. Lin, Sharapova belongs to you now. I hope you can find a good doctor for her, so that she may have hope to appear on the court again in a year." William Perez said proudly.

It's really not easy to take advantage of Lin Feng. You know, this is a difference of 1.7 billion US dollars. If Sharapova is not sold, not only will there be no compensation of 100 million US dollars from Lin Feng, but also Sharapova's 8-year advertising endorsement contract of 10 million US dollars will have to be paid in the future. If this is true, it will be enough to make William Perez regret for life.

Fortunately, thanks to the powerful information agency of "ke", the physical examination report of "Sharapova" was obtained at the first time. Therefore, William Perez successfully sold Sharapova, whose condition may have declined sharply due to injury, to Lin Feng.

100 million US dollars, this is definitely a profit! - William Perez said proudly.

"Mr. Lin, the contract has been completed. I have something important to do, so I won't keep you any longer. Goodbye!" William Perez stood up to see him off.

Lin Feng's face changed slightly. But this was not the time to be angry.

"Mr. Perez, thank you for your generosity. Although Sharapova was injured, I firmly believe that she will be more successful in the future." Lin Feng stood up and said goodbye.

When Lin Feng left the "ke" headquarters, he saw that Sharapova's advertising contract had just been delivered. But at this moment, this contract has been invalidated. It can't play any role.

Haha~~~ Behind him, William Perez's proud laughter came. He made $100 million for "ke" again today. Life is beautiful!

At this moment, Lin Feng just received a call from Sharapova.

"Lin, I'm afraid I can't sign you. Very bad news, my shoulder injury report just came out, my right shoulder is seriously injured, and I need to recuperate for a year." Sharapova's tone was very low.

"Maria, good news. I just spent 100 million US dollars to redeem you from 'ke'. From today on, you will be mine..." Lin Feng was ashamed, as if he hadn't even thought of a company name yet, "Anyway, from today on, you are already a signed star of my company."

What! -- Sharapova was shocked.

"I'm sorry, Lin, I told you a little late. Otherwise, you wouldn't have lost these 100 million US dollars. Don't worry, I will tear up the contract." Sharapova said firmly.

Although Sharapova was born in a poor family, she is definitely not the kind of person who takes advantage of Lin Feng. She will not take advantage of Lin Feng. Even if this advantage is worth 10,000 US dollars. Of course, as for why she took advantage of "ke", it was because "ke" chose to modify the contract at the beginning, because he was afraid that she would leave. In this case, "ke" must prepare for her injury. Therefore, Sharapova is justified.

"Maria, didn't I say that no matter whether we sign a contract or not, we are friends. How can we not help friends in trouble? Moreover, I believe you will be able to regroup and make a comeback." Lin Feng said.

Sharapova was moved by what she said. You know, since her medical report was published, many companies that originally planned to increase the salary of advertising endorsements immediately suspended the plan to increase the salary and told Sharapova that all advertising contracts were suspended. The warmth and coldness of human feelings can be seen from the mercenary faces of businessmen. At this time, Lin Feng's move was undoubtedly a relief.

"Lin, thank you...thank you!" Sharapova burst into tears. At the critical moment, Lin Feng's warm attitude made her feel as warm as spring.

Lin Feng sighed lightly. For Sharapova, a girl of heaven, it was really a huge blow to suffer such a serious shoulder injury when she was just about to achieve results. Especially this kind of shoulder injury is very likely to affect her career, which is unacceptable to any athlete. Moreover, although Sharapova has won two Grand Slams this year and won the gentle beauty, she is only a 7-year-old girl after all.

7 years old! Sharapova is only 7 years old this year. In China, 7 years old is probably still a carefree age, with classes and school every day. Sharapova has entered the adult world and is working hard for her family. Outsiders cannot understand how sad she is. I will try my best to help her.

Soon, Lin Feng returned to New York and called the Houston Rockets' sports doctor from Houston, who is now one of the most authoritative sports therapy experts in the United States. However, the result is still not optimistic. Sharapova's shoulder injury must be operated on, otherwise it will be difficult to cure. But the recovery after surgery in this place is very slow. This will be fatal for a basketball player. I am afraid that from now on, Sharapova will find it difficult to play freely.

"Lin, thank you. I'd better choose conservative treatment. Once the operation is successful, it will be good, but if it fails, my basketball career will be completely ruined." After hesitating for a long time, Sharapova finally chose conservative treatment.

Lin Feng frowned. Suddenly, Lin Feng slapped his forehead.

"Haha, Sharapova, I have a doctor to recommend to you. He is a doctor from our country, with amazing medical skills. Messi was almost killed by the gas on the court, but now he is full of energy and has returned to the first team. He will appear in the English league this weekend. I think he will be able to help you." At the critical moment, Lin Feng thought of Hua Shiqi.

Hua Shiqi, who cured Messi and made him full of energy, is Lin Feng's last hope.

Doctor? —— Sharapova was slightly stunned. It was the first time she heard of doctors. She instinctively wanted to refuse, but thinking of Lin Feng's kindness and her own injuries, Sharapova decided to listen to Lin Feng and give it a try.

A day later, Hua Shiqi was urgently transported to the United States by Lin Feng, and Sharapova was treated as soon as possible. However, after the treatment, Hua Shiqi frowned.

"Her injury is not troublesome, she just needs more body massage. But this massage requires full body exposure, I can't do it!" Hua Shiqi said.
