Cultivating through increasing my stats in America Chapter 157 - 140 Advertising Sponsorship Fee

Having adapted to the changes in his body, Li Ang opened the Skills panel and found that the Perfect Level skills indeed underwent significant changes from before.

[Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training](Perfect)

(Trait: Physical strength increased by 100％)

(Trait: Any damage received reduced by 30％)

Not only had his body’s natural resilience greatly strengthened, but the key point was that the additional Traits not only increased in value but also changed in nature.

The first Trait initially only enhanced the skin and muscles, leaving the bones, internal organs, and fascia as weak points.

But upon advancing to the Perfect Level, it beca an overall enhancent.

The physical strength had doubled, ensuring the improved resistance to blows was multiple tis stronger.

Additionally, what originally was only a reduction in physical damage, after the advancent, turned into a reduction of all kinds of damage, which is a substantial difference. Anyone who has played gas would understand the value of the reduction of any kind of damage.

With the appearance of this Perfect Level skill, Li Ang felt even more confident about the upcoming competition.

After lunch, Eric, who had not been in touch for so ti, suddenly called him.

After exchanging pleasantries, Eric on the phone asked:

"Aren’t you about to participate in the Ultimate Champion Contest of the Slapping Competition? I saw it on your YouTube account."

It wasn’t sothing worth hiding; instead, Li Ang was more curious about why he brought it up suddenly.

"What’s the matter? Does your company want to sponsor this ti?"

"Your influence isn’t small anymore. Our factory is still processing the surge in orders from your last endorsent. For now, we can’t really handle more orders, so I reached out to introduce you to a big client."

After further discussion, Li Ang learned that his previous endorsent for Eric’s Furniture Factory during the bicycle race had garnered explosive advertising results. Coupled with Old Eric’s boasting, it had made many businessn aware of Li Ang.

This ti, Eric introduced Li Ang to three sponsors, all drawn by his reputation and familiar contacts within Old Eric’s circle.

They were larger businesses that relied heavily on advertising to raise product awareness.

Moreover, the level and popularity of the competition Li Ang was entering this ti were much higher than before, so they were particularly interested in his capabilities in this area.

Li Ang naturally agreed without hesitation. Even without sponsors, he would participate in the competition anyway—it was just a matter of doing so extra promotion. Afterwards, the sponsorship fees he would receive were likely to be much more than the prize money, so why not do it?

After receiving affirmative from Li Ang, Eric swiftly arranged a dinner eting that evening to discuss the specifics of the sponsorship deal.

At the dinner, with Eric’s guidance, Li Ang t the three sponsors.

One was a snack business, which despite being a mismatch for Li Ang’s competition, was quite significant; not confined to just one state, but with distributors nationwide.

Apparently, they were nearing a financial milestone, and that figure was in US Dollars.

The person who ca to negotiate today was the marketing manager of the snack company, who stumbled upon the dealings between Li Ang and Eric’s Furniture Factory while studying marketing cases.

It was only after reaching out to learn from Eric’s Furniture Factory that they had t and arranged today’s eting.

The other two were ho furnishing brands, with substantial business though not as widespread. They were recently looking to expand business abroad and hence very keen on advertising in various locations.

The two ho furnishing brands were personally represented by their owners today, who were also friends of Old Eric and aid to scale up their business.

After initial negotiation, the two ho furnishing owners didn’t have any new suggestions.

However, the marketing manager from the snack company had quite a few questions.

"Sorry, as I just found out, you’re competing in an open weight class, and you’re a middleweight competitor. Even from a not-so-professional standpoint, your chances of success seem relatively low, right?"

"Theoretically, that’s the case, but sotis, you can expect miracles to happen, just like the endorsent in the last race."

Li Ang didn’t elaborate much on his strength because no one would believe him anyway, not even this manager who was a stranger to the field, let alone those insiders who probably would be even more skeptical about Li Ang’s performance.

So he just gave a vague and painless explanation—the rest was up to him to believe or not.

Surprisingly, the manager, whom Li Ang thought would know more about sponsorship and thus might lower his interest, turned out to be the one to make the most substantial offer.

"I don’t believe in miracles, but I believe in data and contracts."

As he spoke, the manager took out a draft contract from his bag and continued:

"Considering the unpredictability of the competition’s outco, I think we can sign a tiered agreent. That is, besides a basic sponsorship fee, the final sponsorship fee you receive will be determined by your final ranking."

"Of course, I believe this proposal is even more suitable."

Li Ang imdiately agreed to the proposal.

Confident in his performance, he knew that such an arrangent could potentially yield higher earnings than a fixed sponsorship fee.

After further discussions, even the two owners who had planned to offer a fixed sponsorship fee were swayed by this new sche.

They had originally planned to put forward fifty thousand US Dollars each to try their luck, as they had Old Eric’s successful case as a benchmark; how effective it would ultimately be was still uncertain to them. After all, they couldn’t compare to the marketing manager with over a decade of experience.

Following the discussions, the two ho furnishing companies decided to pay a base sponsorship of ten thousand US Dollars each. If Li Ang achieved a ranking, they would add forty thousand US Dollars, ninety thousand for runner-up, and one hundred forty thousand for champion.

The snack company was more confident, also demanding more advertising space and even planning to promote on Li Ang’s YouTube account.

Just this company alone offered a base sponsorship of eighty thousand US Dollars.

This figure wasn’t because they were foolish with their money, but rather, the manager had made a considered judgnt after detailed evaluation and data analysis.
