Chapter 270 The Beginning of the Season at College Basketball 2 (1/2)

”Congratulations on beating Jake, another broken record this year, this year was amazing for you, should this be the last marathon you're going to run this year?”

”Yes, it's my last marathon this year, thanks for helping me out so much this year.”

”It's just my job, I have to thank you for always winning marathons, as I was the one who came up with the idea of ​​hiring you for our company to sponsor, I'm gaining a lot of recognition for that.”

”I'm glad to hear that, I don't think we'll see each other again this year, have a happy holiday season and wait for some good news from me at basketball games.”

”Thanks, I'll see you next year.”

Living together can make a new friendship come to life, even though they never really liked John because their contract was just about business, after receiving his goodwill and help for so many months Jake began to want to be friends with John.

Maybe their relationship could never be as good as it was between Jake with Tiffany and Clara, but they could at least talk friendlier, not to mention that after a few years they might not even talk to each other anymore.

Jake had lost several friends in this time he lived after going back in time, even though he always appreciated friendships things just happened that way, everyone he studied with Jake had no more contact.

It had also been several months since he'd had any conversations with Eric who always sought to talk to him, maybe he could meet his school friends when the internet-connected more people and meet Eric when he joined the NBA.

After talking with John, Jake decided to go back to the hotel and get some rest before catching the plane at the end of the day for university again, the other day even if he didn't do his daily running training he would still have to train with the Basketball team.

After all, it was only a few weeks before the day of the first game, so, Jake, the team would have to be ready by that day, he didn't want to end up losing that game for lack of training, it would be an important game to decide Jake's future in the basketball team.

In New York Jake had no interest in doing an interview to talk about his marathon victory, he did the interview in Chicago because he knew Chloe and had free time this time, however, he knew no one and was in a hurry to return to the university.

Unfortunately, Jake's desire to just rest while waiting for his travel time didn't come true, after a few hours at the hotel when he had already changed and eaten and was preparing to rest the hotel said someone was waiting for him.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Even though he knew it wasn't someone Jake knew it had to be someone with contacts to find out where he was when Jake came down he saw a man who looked to be thirty-four and wearing a black suit.

”Mr. Smith, thank you for coming down to talk to me if you didn't know me.”

”No problem, I was just resting, who would you be?”

”My name is Martin Hans, I am a representative of the Nike company, I was sent to talk to you about the possibility of a sponsorship agreement of our company with you.”

Jake was a little surprised that he wasn't expecting it at the moment, but after thinking a bit he realized that it was very normal for something like this to happen, Nike has always been known to compete with other shoe companies to sponsor the best athletes in the world from many different sports.

While currently, they do not have most of the basketball players, soccer and football, they've had many contracts with athletes, and in the future, Nike just grows and further dominates the footwear market.

Even though not all athletes were sponsored by them, Jake had already won several major marathons and the Olympic gold medal, as well as breaking the world record, thinking that it was normal for a company like Nike to look for him with a contract.

Currently Jake could not have any new sponsorship contracts because he was at university and had made a deal with them not to have any new contracts while playing on the basketball team.

But he could talk some details with Nike until after he left university, if the contract was good he could make a deal with them and when he entered the NBA he would sign this contract with Nike.

”You don't have to call me sir, you can be less informal and call me by my name.”

”I'll do it so, you might be wondering why our company hasn't contacted you before, that's because you suddenly came across as an athlete and we didn't have time to prepare a contract proposal for you.”

”When you won in Chicago last year and then came second in New York, the directors just got to know your name and so decided to wait and see.”

”Unfortunately we ended up missing our opportunity to get a contract at that time, after all this year you qualified to race at the Olympics and eventually won, after which as you would go to university we thought we had missed the opportunity and would have to wait.”
