"What are you doing, you idiot, do you need to specify his relationship with LeBron? Did you give him that one-billion contract? No, buddy, it was us begging him to sign this crucial contract for us. Toyota built an arena for Yao, and Alexander was able to escape the ranks of the poorest NBA owners thanks to Yao. That's why we have to seize the Huaxia market. You'd better think it through, and before that, you don't have to report anything to me. There's no need for you to handle negotiations with Su either, we'll assign someone else!"
Nike executives were furious, and within about a day, Nike sent a new representative along with a new contract, still for 7 years, but the amount reached 1.1 billion, an increase of 10 million from the original total.
That amount was just 10 million short of the 1.2 billion they had offered Yao Ming back in the day.
