NBA: Starting with $20 billion, buying the Knicks

Chapter 124: The White Demon Beast Stomps KOBE 4 and Is Nowhere to Find It!
Chapter 120: The White Demon Beast stomps on KOBE4, and there is no place to find it after breaking through the iron shoes!

Jiang Chao's Luffy-style innocent smile is still useful, at least Curry is very interested.

I also asked about the specific signs and names.

"Legendary! God-man! Boss, you are not taking it lightly!"

Harden was playing with the Chaoshen Sports logo in his hand. The feeling of this Tai Chi fish was indeed different from all other brand logos.

"Well, in China, Legendary has the meaning of surpassing everything, and the pattern of Tai Chi emphasizes harmony and benevolence, and the unity of nature and man. I also think that my sports equipment and the person wearing it are integrated into one, natural and elegant."

But the next second he heard Curry's question, he was embarrassed:

"Um, well, because the company was only established this month, the sample shoes haven't been made yet, but I can guarantee with my character that they are definitely the type you like."

Jiang Chao has no choice but to wait for the sample shoes to come out, and the day lily will be cold.

Generally speaking, as soon as the regular season starts, the Nike family will start.

It’s not that they don’t have time, but it doesn’t matter. Except Griffin is the player they need to compete with Adidas before the draft, everyone else is almost the same. They are basically guards. They usually raise them for five years. After the five-year commodity contract, whoever can play will give a more expensive or highest-level signature sneaker contract.

Nike is more in the field of basketball shoes in the United States than it is in China. It is not arrogant, and basically only recognizes this sports brand.

Austin's eyes suddenly became awkward, this...why does this sound so unreliable?

It was Harden's agent who was speaking to Jiang Chao:

"Indeed, I just saw that it was registered in the financial newspaper just this month, and the design + manufacturing process will take at least one month, but the boss, you said to sign the sneaker contract for us?"

"Yes, I have found signature boots, designers and other employees. I will come and tailor them for you. I will mass-produce them after you wear them and think they are suitable. It will also be the first of our Super God Sports. Two shoes."

If it weren't for Anta's backing, Chaoshen Sports would actually be a start-up shell company without its own industrial chain.

What about the white wolf with empty gloves?

Austin is not so easy to be fooled. If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Chao is the boss of Curry, he would probably call the police, which is too foolish.

After talking a lot, there is nothing. From this point of view, it is impossible to go to the factory to see it.

"Boss, how can we cooperate specifically?"

"That must be a surprise."

It seems that knowing that it is difficult to convince, Jiang Chao directly made such a violent accusation, the kind that the two managers directly knelt down.

Throw money!

Just hit it!
Jiang Chao didn't have any idea that if I was your boss, you would give me a cheaper idea, and directly stated that both of them would give a five-year 5 million signed sneaker contract.

Originally, he really wanted to save some money, but since Adi came to make an offer, and Jiang Chao, the two future super giants, didn't want to let it go, then let's bleed, and there is no need to pay in one lump sum anyway.

There is also a 5% pure profit royalty share!

As soon as these words came out, both Curry and Harden gasped. This is more than their rookie contract earns. It's too... too cool, right? ? ? ?
Just looking at the money is enough.

Because Adidas offered Harden a five-year 5 million cash endorsement contract, Jiang Chao almost doubled it.

Then there are 1-2 pairs of exclusive signature boots at the beginning of each season, with 3-10 colors.

That is, at least one pair of shoes made for you in a season, with at least 3 colors.

This is much better than those sneakers that have been signed, but only have one or two color schemes.

Jiang Chao directly handed the conceptual design drawings of Yushuai and the design drawings of the eighth generation of Kobe Bryant and the fifth generation of Owen to the hands of the four in front of him:

"This is the concept version of the design drawing drawn by myself, and I promise in my own name that I will give you the greatest advertising promotion, and everyone will make a lot of money together."

He has firmly grasped the mentality of players and agents. If a player is handsome or good-looking, he needs to sign his boots.

Brokers want money.

Although Jiang Chao is a new company, they have all been given!

Although I can give it, but Jiang Chao's heart is bleeding, this damn Nike and Adi, it is really a monopoly, so that the start-up companies like them must have enough money.

If it weren't for Ding Shizhong's promise to share the signing fee equally between the two parties after signing the star, Jiang Chao really couldn't eat two at a time. Ding Shizhong has always wanted to expand Anta's influence.

It is not an exaggeration to count this money as an advertising fee, because the two brands of Anta and Chaoshen do not conflict, and when the time comes to send it to the star's home, he can wear whichever he likes.

That's why Jiang Chao threw money so decisively, and the money had to be thrown.

The second year after the sneaker is born, the speed of sales will be paid back faster than anything else.

The cost of signed and unsigned sneakers is the same, but the price difference may be four or five times, and the profit in this is astonishing.

As soon as Jiang Chao said these two conditions, the four people in front of him used superficial calm to conceal their inner satisfaction.

Both Harden and Curry stared at the concept of "Yu Shuai" in a daze:

Emperor Li Shimin of the prosperous Tang Dynasty found inspiration in the stone carving of "White Hoofed Crow" in the "Six Steeds of Zhaoling" and embellished with traditional silver and bronze design details to create this pair of Chinese-style combat boots...

Damn, they think they are handsome just by looking at the introduction! ! !

In their minds, China is a mysterious ancient oriental country. After coming to New York, they also went to Chinatown to eat several times. In addition, Curry's female votes and Chinese ancestry, this concept is so cool.

Looking at the concepts of Irving 5 and Kobe Bryant , Jiang Chao’s modification of the two pairs of shoes is to replace the logo with Chaoshen Sports. Anyway, these two pairs of shoes have not been designed yet. He first put them on the market and they are his. product.

Why draw these two pairs of shoes first, because Jiang Chao knows that these two pairs of guard shoes will be sold out in later generations, and the joint name of Irving 5 has been released to SpongeBob SquarePants.

One looks agile and elegant.

One is full of sense of technology. The lace area adopts a flytrap-like shoe cover design. The overall padding of the shoe cover is quite substantial, covering the instep area of ​​the sneakers, and connecting with the dynamic flying lines on the outside of the shoe. The block shoe cover can control the tightness with the adjustment of the shoelace.

The concept of these three guard shoes has completely exceeded the expectations of the two.

The two agents didn't look at the sneaker design, they just looked at the money, aside from the high endorsement fee, none of them offered a signed sneaker contract to them.

No, Peak made an offer, but it was resolutely rejected because it was only 5 million in 1000 years.

Then, Adidas does not have a 5% royalty share, but the signature sneakers come with a royalty share. The more they are sold in the future, the more players will get.

If they really sign, they will be in the same boat as Chaoshen Sports, and they will also madly advertise their sneakers.

Best of all is the price itself.

The king-level James only got a 7-year 9000 million Nike contract in his rookie season, but it's James!
Kobe signed a little earlier. When he was a rookie, he took 6 years and 4800 million.

And for example, Evans, the second place in this year's list, has a great style of play, and he has not yet received an offer from Nike. I heard that it is not very high.

In fact, what they don’t know is that Jiang Chao has really invested a lot of money. The rookie Fat Tiger, who got the best sneaker contract before entering the league, was already a winner in life when he got AJ’s 19-year 7 million contract at the age of 7500. At that time, Li Ning thought Go to soar the price, but never soared, and was slammed by Nike.

And the recent Durant, Westbrook, etc. are all a little short of 1000 million a year. It can be said that Jiang Chaoka's offer is just right, just a little bit better than Nike's offer.

The reason why Jiang Chao has set this price now is because I think I am not afraid of you raising the price. I will kill you with a single blow and let you retreat. Even if this price reaches the rich and powerful Adi, there will definitely be a shareholders meeting to decide. .

Adidas's wealth and wealth were also forced by Nike. It was a contract of million yuan for Rose. The five tigers of Adidas were all permanent contracts. McGrady's rookie permanent contract can be called the strongest rookie sneaker contract in history.

So, now it seems that as long as the quality of the sneakers is decent, not to mention comparable to Adidas, it is a fact not to make the players uncomfortable.

Because of the heavy weight of NBA players, the elasticity, cushioning and technological effects of sneakers are relatively weak. More importantly, they are fit and durable. Some players like to wear a pair of old shoes for a season. They are comfortable and look best when they are bound. important.

Thinking of this, Austin suddenly thought of what Jiang Chao said just now:
"Wait, boss, you just said that you designed the design concepts of these three shoes yourself?"

"correct."

"Cool!" The two managers also took it over and looked at it, their eyes widened immediately.

If it is really the design drawing made by Jiang Chao, then it is really a miracle.

According to Curry, "with the boss buff!"

"If you sign a contract with our company, you can participate in the design of the logo and signature, which is basically the position." In order to let them have a sense of participation, Jiang Chao indicated that the two can freely design their own logos.

Just like the logo of the Black Mamba, fans will buy it too much after the stars themselves participate in the design, although most players don't design it well.

Harden said subconsciously: "I want a retro bearded Peugeot."

"Okay, are you really not going to cut your beard?"

"Yes, the beard will be my logo in the league." Harden's beard has grown a lot after playing in the Summer League. He also told the media that he will never shave it off again, thinking he is very manly.

"I'm going to have a '3' logo because I love shooting 3s."

The two of Austin were speechless. Jiang Chao's persuasive words were too good. He hadn't signed a contract yet. A man who has nothing to say.

What's even more coquettish is that in the middle of the conversation, Liu Yan, the tall secretary, brought a few milkshakes. Jiang Chao asked Harden to choose one first. Know everything?

Just pick up a large glass of strawberry flavor and drink it up.

Both agents admire this man who eats these two lottery shows to death. Whether it is drinking tea, popcorn or milkshake, the boss's attitude is directly inferior to that of a small manager of Nike. 100 times better.

You must know that they are not what they want to delay. It is Nike who ignores their requests. Their eyes are all on Griffin.

Thinking of this, I can't help but take a sip of the milkshake and pair it with salty and sweet popcorn, it's really delicious.

"As I said, these privileges can only be granted by signing with Chaoshen Sports. Also, these three models have not been put into the market. Whoever signs first can choose the style first. These 3 models can be selected first."

"Then sign!"

"I want to sign!"

"Sign and sign!"

Both Curry and Harden are obviously more interested in Yushuai. If the sneakers with oriental elements are spread out, they will definitely be the most beautiful boy in the audience. There are many things about American culture, and I have never seen this kind.

After all, it was Jiang Chao's masterpiece to promote the national trend. Jiang Chao was very satisfied after seeing their reaction, and this effect was what he wanted.

Even Americans like Chinese culture so much, why don't the Chinese themselves have self-confidence?

I would have known that Lai Shixian was called to watch this scene. The kingly way he preached is not just bragging!

However, he did not say that he would sign the two now, because Jiang Chao knew that the two agents were obviously still in the hesitation stage.

The two managers really couldn't hold back, after all, every point Jiang Chao said was too much of a G~ point for them.

Austin quickly said:
"Boss, give us a few days. Let's go and see the quotations from other companies. They haven't given quotations yet, can you?"

Harden's agent also said, "Shop around, is it okay, boss-jiang?"

At this time, Jiang Chao was not in a hurry. Kuha himself liked Jiang Chao's concept, and he knew that there was no big problem with his excited appearance, so he said directly:

"Well, no problem. I am also for the future of my players. As I said just now, I use my character to guarantee that your shoes will become popular."

joke!

Not to mention that Yu Shuai is the lifelong painstaking work of the designer Ma Xun he recruited, and it is also the only super domestic basketball shoe that has no celebrity endorsement but is a hit.

Irving 5 and Kobe 8 in the back are the favorites of defenders. No defender will not love these two pairs of low-cut sneakers. These two pairs are the most well-proportioned and good-looking in the Nike store. The others are either high-tops and stupid. Too much gimmicky.

This is really sincere for an athlete like Curry Harden who has been wearing sneakers since he was a child.

I have prepared signed sneakers for you before you come, and you can also make your own logo, plus a high-priced signing bonus, it's too good to play!

"Go, let your body rest for a day just tomorrow."

"Take the popcorn, Curry."

"Okay, thank you boss!"

All four of them left the boss's office excitedly.

Now it's Harden and Curry's turn to be tough on Nike. Our big boss has already signed the contract. How does Nike respond? ? ? ? ?

Go check out the Nike Adidas offer, and if you really like them, I'll give you freedom too.

Jiang Chao looked at these two people and smiled slightly. Whether there is a fate depends on their return.

……

After 1 days.

portland.

Nike headquarters.

Curry and Austin finally met Nike's top executives, and they still said that they would be poached by Adidas to make their high-level dispatch.

Although he was the sixth overall pick and performed well in the NCAA and Summer League, he was still not respected.

At the meeting where the two sides discussed the contract, the Nike representative not only misspelled Curry's name, but even used the ppt that recruited Durant before. This is a great disrespect. In addition, they Only willing to offer Curry a $250 million contract.

Before that, Griffin had just signed a tens of millions of contracts.

How could Curry accept this, and said angrily that Chaoshen Sports had offered him a five-year contract with an annual salary of tens of millions.

Nike executives pointed to the door:
"Please feel free."

In their view, a newly registered company that doesn't even have a freight warehouse in the United States is going to fight them with the head? ? ?
This is absolute self-confidence. This kind of small company is not worthy of comparison with them. Local American players can only obediently come over and sign with them!

He even ridiculed Jiang Chao, the boss, for investing in the wrong place. The United States is indeed a speculative country, but he can't touch the sporting goods industry.

Curry blushed and slammed the door out angrily.

If it weren't for Jiang Chao's non-disclosure agreement, Curry really wanted to tell this group of people who are arrogant, how awesome Jiang Chao's design concept is!
He is not the arrogant young upstart in the eyes of these people at all.

The experiences of Harden and Curry are similar, but because Harden is a third-ranked show, Nike still gives a certain amount of respect, and asked about Chaoshen Sports' offer in detail.

When he heard that 5 million in five years was still a signed sneaker contract, he immediately retreated.

What's the situation? ?Are Chinese shoe factories so rich?
They couldn't readily match such a high endorsement contract, and they were unwilling to give him signed sneakers.

And because the Knicks mentioned Chaoshen Sports in both lottery tickets, Nike's executives were also slightly touched. What kind of ability does this boss have to want to sign two lottery tickets?
Then go to the news department to find out the situation and then ignore it. Why buy a sports car, build a forum and make a newspaper... Isn’t this a utopian investment?

Why did Tim Duncan modify his car?It's not because of how much money he has!Get sprayed together and you're done!

Adidas, which is also headquartered in Portland, was also taken aback. Is Jiang Chao so brainless? ?You know that neither Evans nor Griffin have such high-priced contracts?
So they also suggested that Harden think more about it. Although the money was paid over there, their quality is definitely not good. There is nothing good about wearing Chinese-made pirated shoes.

Harden smiled mysteriously: "That's not a pirated copy of yours."

Although Adidas has a much better attitude towards Harden than Nike, he proposed the concept of using his mohawk to make shoes, as well as the priority of training with the five tigers of Adidas and attending events during the off-season.

But Harden, who has been eye-washed by Jiang Chao's several design drawings, now thinks it is too ugly. Jiang Chao's concept of controlling him is so handsome, he wants to play like riding a horse!
So he hurriedly wanted to go back to New York and sign with Chaoshen Sports first!

Yu Shuai, he wants it!

Curry must not grab it first!
……

"Stephen, watch the news break!"

"Damn!! The white monster is down!"

"fear!"

"Can't wear Nike!"

It was at this critical point that Nike encountered internal and external troubles.

When Harden Curry bought the same flight back to New York that night, a Nike Sports story was on the news.

In the Clippers' open training match tonight, the super champion Griffin was injured and left the game shortly after the start of the game.

The reason for his injury was that when he made an emergency stop, the sneakers under his feet suddenly cracked completely from the side, causing Griffin to stand unsteadily, sprained his right knee, and then left the field.

And the pair of sneakers that Griffin stepped on was Kobe Bryant's signature shoe - KOBE4.

This news completely caused Nike to suffer from internal and external troubles!
Didn't you see that many boys at the airport were talking about it?

"The workmanship of Nike shoes is really getting worse."

"Shoes worth a few hundred dollars, that's it?"

"Crotch pulling!"

"Kobe is nothing more than that!"

"Brother... These are his shoes, not his own."

"It's a famous scene, it's okay to step on it directly!"

"I guess Gelifen must be scolding mother when holding these shoes!"

For a while, this pair of sneakers became the focus of people's attention, and Kobe, as the spokesperson, also became the target of "attack" by many Comey and Clippers fans in the same city.

The accidental injury of the No. pick pushed Nike and Kobe to the forefront for a while.

Many people directly said that Kobe injured Griffin, and some people scolded Nike if Griffin was reimbursed for the season, it would be a terrible death!

International news was also reported and relayed.

Yang Ma directly said that Nike sneakers were named at the 315 party. One is that the price is different. The mainland market has always been more expensive than the United States. After the incident, the Kobe 4th generation did not reduce the price. The United States is already % off. up.

Harden watched the idol's shoes being pierced so directly on the screen, and couldn't help but blinked his eyes. He felt sorry for Kobe and himself, because he had been playing in Kobe's latest pair of boots. Thinking about it now, go back and throw it away. !

"Hurry up and stop wearing Nike shoes." Austin has always been concerned about Curry's ankles. For those of them who need to protect players, they will never touch these shoes in the future.

Curry looked at the Nike slippers on his feet: "Amazing..."

Harden: "It's really magical, can this work?"

The only thing they liked about Nike was the boots of Kobe Bryant and other stars, and now this good opinion has been wiped out, the only choice they have is...

That night, Nike's stock price fell 1.9%, and its market value evaporated by about 13 billion US dollars. The stock price of Yue Yuen Group, its foundry manufacturer in the mainland, was also hit, falling 3.93%.

In addition, the stock prices of many sneaker brands listed on the US stock market have been affected, and brands such as Adidas and Skechers have been affected.

The most embarrassing thing is that the mayor of Los Angeles also watched this game. He directly pointed out that Griffin, who fell down at the beginning of the game, was because his shoes exploded. ...

Jiang Chao in New York was having dinner with Liu Yan when Lai Shixian called him.

Jiang Chao, who heard the news, took a big mouthful of rice:
"Emmm, this is really hard to find!!! God help me too!"

Liu Yan was also happy for him: "I have to throw away my Nike clothes too."

"Don't throw them away, I'll tear them up tonight."

"Hey, you have so many weird hobbies."

"Come on, have a drink. Nike should be Wuxia and compete with us in this wave, haha." Jiang Chao raised his glass high, this wave of Nike suddenly made great contributions to them at the best time!

Thank you, Nike!

"I wish Griffin a speedy recovery!"
