Chapter 464: Nike and Adidas

"Welcome, Mr. Parker!"

At the pick-up port at Baltimore International Airport, Smith Joe, head of the Baltimore branch of the international sporting goods giant "Nike" in Maryland, led a group of management to welcome the arrival of a high-level executive from Nike headquarters.

"Mr. Parker, long time no see!"

"Since the farewell to New York last year, Mr. Parker has grown in style."

"That's right!"

"Mr. Parker is the senior vice president of our Nike Group. The opening of the board of directors in March this year may be able to go further."

"That's right, with the leadership of Mr. Parker, I believe our Nike will be even more brilliant!"

 …

The management of the Nike branch in Baltimore is talking like a hype.

They all blushed when they said it!

However, the people who visited this time are worthy of their praise!

Mark Parker, male, has been a shoe designer for Nike since 1979; in 1993, he served as the global vice president of Nike footwear, and was later promoted to the senior vice president of Nike headquarters.

Considering all aspects of resume, ability, and qualifications, Mark Parker is one of Nike's big bosses.

Of course, in the future, well, that is, from 2008 to 2019, he will be re-elected as the CEO of Nike, the sports kingdom, for the third time, and lead this giant ship to sail.

During his tenure, Nike's annualized sales climbed from US$15 billion to US$39 billion in one fell swoop, which can be described as a very powerful figure.

"Mr. Parker, the hotel has already arranged it for you. Please come this way." said Smith Joe, the head of the Baltimore branch.

Smith Joe has great respect for Mark Parker, not only because of his position, but because Smith Joe was once Mark's direct leader and his teacher.

Parker nodded and boarded the car heading to the hotel.

In the car, Parker said in a deep voice: "Smith, Mr. Zhu Ke Wald, the boss of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group,

Are you still stuck in Baltimore? "

"Eh? I~I don't know~" Smith Joe froze for a moment.

"idiot!"

Facing this beloved apprentice, Parker obviously didn't give his superiors a good look: "You think that I came to Baltimore this time to inspect? Let me tell you, I came here for him, Zhu Ke Wald! "

Smith Joe: "Not so much?"

Parker snorted coldly: "He has only been in New York for half a month, and he has raised 1.3 billion US dollars a day, shaking up the situation on Wall Street. No matter how high the attention is given to such a person, it is impossible to overestimate!"

What he is worried about is the emerging Under Armour!

Under Armour's sporting goods company, looking at the entire United States, there are so many companies like this, and they are completely out of the eyes of giants like Nike, but... After getting the support of Zhu Ke and the entire Golden Dawn Entertainment Group , Under Armor has developed particularly rapidly in recent years.

"Not much else to say, just the market in Baltimore, and the market in Maryland as a whole. Tell me, how much did Nike's film industry revenue decline last year?"

"Did you not pay attention to Under Armor?"

"In the whole of last year, they successively won the sports goods purchase lists of 37 universities, and the overall film industry revenue increased by 200%. How dare you underestimate it?!"

Parker continued to ask his students several questions.

Smith Chomont is rounded!

That's right, he just feels his head buzzing now... as if hundreds of bees are scurrying around crazily.

"Teacher, oh no, Mr. Parker, I was wrong. I will arrange someone to investigate immediately." Smith Joe said hastily.

Hearing this, Parker breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "That's right."

 …

at the same time.

Shortly after Nike Senior Vice President Mark Parker arrived in Baltimore, another plane flew in from Germany and landed at Baltimore International Airport.

"Hotels, restaurants, itineraries... the fastest speed is arranged and secure."

"Everyone, first of all, I want to tell you that we are not here to enjoy ourselves when we come to America this time, but with a sacred mission."

"Under Armour, a rising sports brand, is so good, it should be included in our Adidas family!"

A silver-haired middle-aged man shouted at the entourage behind him.

"Yes, Mr. Luca!"

Felix Luca, from Adidas headquarters in Germany, serves as senior vice president and is mainly responsible for Adidas' external acquisitions.

At the same time, before he became the senior vice president of Adidas, he worked in the well-known European business negotiation company "Videtners" for 15 years and has strong personal negotiation skills.

He came to Baltimore this time for Under Armor!

When Jean knew that Zucker was in Baltimore, he changed the itinerary and changed the destination from Los Angeles to Baltimore.

not long.......

A group of Adidas companies arrived at the hotel in downtown Baltimore from the airport and checked in smoothly.

"Guys, I ask you to memorize all the contents of this document before tomorrow morning. It is related to the key to our Adidas acquisition or shareholding of Under Armour, and we must give it 12 points of attention. !" Felix Luca said coldly in the hotel suite.

Everyone shuddered, and they all agreed.

No way, that's how Felix Luca works.

High pressure policy!

Well, for customers, he is always like a spring breeze; for work partners, he talks about the law of wolf nature.

"Don't feel tired and troublesome. These materials are the latest materials of Zhu Ke Wald himself and Under Armour, after entering February."

"Zuck Wald, definitely not a simple character!"

"First of all, we need to be clear about the fact that he is very rich, very rich, which undoubtedly makes it more difficult for us to acquire Under Armor!"

"On February 10th, Zhu Ke Wald led Gale Capital, and in just one day, he harvested 1.3 billion US dollars from the Japanese financial market, and then he resolutely exited."

"This shows what?"

"It shows that he is a very decisive person, and at the same time, he knows how to choose and compromise!"

"After all, during the period from February 11th to February 15th, he could continue to make money from the Japanese stock market, but he left the market. He was not afraid of Japan and Wall Street counterparts, but he knew that he should compromise."

"This is the key to our acquisition of Under Armor!"

Felix Luca said to himself: "Zuke Wald is a successful businessman, so he should know a little bit. Accepting our shareholding will definitely allow Under Armour's sports company to enter a fast track of development!"

In an instant, the audience exploded!

A group of Adidas elites stared wide-eyed, their eyes full of shock.
