Chapter 462: The Biggest Free Agency Market in History
With Adidas and Nike laying the groundwork, negotiations with Reebok went much smoother for Yu Fei's camp.
Reebok knew that their offer to Yu Fei depended on the contracts from the other two companies. Thus, they themselves did not prepare much, only waiting for Arne Trem to inform them of the contents of those contracts.
When Reebok's current CEO, Paul Arrington, heard Trem's asking price: a 5-year, 200 million US Dollar deal with a 15% profit share annually, they were indeed shocked.
This was a figure far beyond their expectations, but if the other two companies offered such terms, they would have to follow suit, unless they were willing to risk losing Yu Fei.
"Give us some time," Arrington said, "I believe that we will ultimately come up with the best contract."
"No problem, we have plenty of time," Trem said.

The next day, the SuperSonics returned to Seattle with the championship trophy in tow.
