"A Nike representative has already talked to me and offered me a very bad proposal a few months ago."
"So you don't want to work with them anymore? That's a shame, I have good contact with some Nike directors after a lot of deals I've done with them, but I can try to get a good deal with Adidas and Reebok."
"You got me wrong David, I want to work with Nike, in fact, I'm not interested in what other companies can offer before you try to get as much as possible from Nike."
David was confused about why Jake seemed to like Nike more than other companies, Nike has grown a lot in recent years thanks to the influence of Michael Jordan, but Adidas and Reebok were also big companies.
"I thought that because they had underestimated their value by offering a bad offer you wouldn't want to work with Nike, or would prefer Adidas or Reebok unless Nike offered an indispensable offer."
