NBA: Starting with $20 billion, buying the Knicks

Chapter 125 Angry Kobe!Very serious consequences

Chapter 120 Five: Angry Kobe!Harden, Curry sign, coconut plan
Los Angeles.

A mansion in XX Villa.

Chatting with his wife was disturbed by a phone call from his manager.

The agent did not elaborate on the explosion of Kobe's Twitter, saying that he had set Kobe's social media to prohibit comments.

Kobe was furious when he learned of this, and while calling and complaining about the general manager of Nike, he output crazily to Vanessa.

At this time, they actually didn't know about the navy, but Adi's navy was really strong, and he directly rushed Kobe.

But Nike's confidence is really hard, and it stays unmoved overnight.

The next day.

The president of Reebok criticized Nike's non-response at this time:

"It's clear that Nike's success is intrinsically linked to the technical performance of their products, and that's clearly something they'll be focusing on and shouldn't simply be dismissed. However, this is a shoe to watch."

Roll call this shoe trampling is not an accidental event.

Durant and Westbrook, the two hottest rookies under Nike, are also temperamental. They require their sneaker brands to strictly control the quality of their sneakers. They hope that the sneakers they wear are the best in the world, and they will not be afraid of wearing them. affect careers.

Under the pressure of public opinion, Nike finally reluctantly stated that it would launch an investigation and accountability, and Kobe was also forced to leave the game in person to express his helplessness:

"I don't know exactly what happened at the time, but I will communicate with Nike and ask what is wrong with my shoes."

In fact, in private, he scolded Nike and expressed that he should hurry up to make up for the loss. He valued his own shoes most, and no sand was allowed to appear.

And then the Clippers official news is scary.

Griffin's second-degree knee sprain may be reimbursed for the season!

It exploded all of a sudden.

Back in New York, Harden and Curriben received a call from Nike asking them to talk again. As a result, the news made Nike completely unable to care about him, and the two of them also completely gave up Nike. Griffin is about to be reimbursed for the season because of a pair of shoes?This is too scary.

Professional players are most afraid of injuries, not just the two of them, but other players are also afraid. Adidas has made a lot of money. The D-series brand is of good quality. Although the stock price has not risen much this time, its image among players It is completely hit.

Kobe had to come out to speak at this time. He first hoped that Griffin was okay, and expressed regret for his shoes being stepped on:

"However, I also want to explain that these are defender shoes, and it is not recommended for heavy people to wear them."

Now the market has stopped for a while. Indeed, the boss’s shoes have always been light, and they are definitely not durable. It is really not suitable for an inside line like Griffin.

At this time, many people @ ANTA asked Chaoshen and ANTA if such a problem would occur.

Jiang Chao said on his Twitter:
"It's a bit strange. Why does the company wear Griffin in this case? Don't you care about the player's career?"

This sentence forced Nike to come out and refute the rumor again, saying that kobe4 is a spontaneous behavior of the players, not decided by their company. Griffin has signed a contract with Nike now, and he is also dumb and dare not say more. It is good to be able to say that the Nike brand is the wrong way to wear it.

At this time, Kobe really cared about Jiang Chao, the boss, because Jiang Chao's speech received the most praise.

His eyes sparkled as he watched Jiang Chao's Twitter message:
"JIANG, isn't there too much tragedy in Madison???"

This is a feud that has not been met before.

Kobe's agent, Tellem, also sent a message to the Knicks office. The simple meaning is that you don't care about things that you shouldn't care about, what kind of planes are you doing, and meddle in your own business here.

Kobe was very angry and the consequences were serious!
Jiang Chao's attitude towards this is still the same, just be angry, hit the Knicks harder, young guys really need some "Madison tragedy" if they want to grow up.

Anyway, Coeha basically got it.

D'Antoni said to Liu Yan:
"Our boss, next season has already won two defeats ahead of schedule."

"Two games against the Lakers?" Liu Yan said with a smile. She has almost thoroughly studied the rules and regulations of the NBA.

"If Boss Jiang Chao didn't say such things, he wouldn't be Jiang Chao."

Mustache: "Yes, Boss Jiang Chao is unique in using words to break people's defenses.

Beating the Lakers is a bad thing, so let the Black Mamba get angry, just let him beat our back line. "

Downey Jr. smiled and hammered Mustache on the back:
"Moustache, you have also changed your character around the boss. You were not like this before."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"By the way, Downey Jr., haven't you been in the training hall lately? What are you doing here?"

"Curry Harden just came back and said that he wanted to take a half-day leave to find his boss. It seems that he is going to sign a contract with the boss's company. I asked General Manager Sean to sign the leave slip."

"Oh!! yeah!"

Liu Yan, who has always been calm and calm, raised her hands high and jumped up. She knew how much pressure Jiang Chao was under during this time, and she was just waiting for the two of them to reply.

Sean Marks in the general manager's office: "OK, allow them to ask for leave, so the boss is going to start making a lot of money?"

Downey Jr.: "Manager Sean, you will also have Boss brand sneakers in the future."

……

In the boss's office, Jiang Chao is leisurely watering the iron tree.

Lai Shixian fidgeted on the sofa. It was the first time he came to the boss's office, and it was the most important thing since the establishment of Chaoshen Sports. He was much more nervous than Jiang Chao.

If successful, this will be the first time in the history of a domestic sports brand that it has snatched two local lottery-level rookie players from the United States! !Ding Shizhong ordered him to help Jiang Chao win it successfully, which is a very morale-boosting thing for Anta.

The phonograph in the house played "Hotel California", and Jiang Chao couldn't help humming a few times.

Judging from Lai Shixian's market research, he actually overestimated Nike, and they had no intention of bidding with Jiang Chao.

What surprised him the most was that in his previous life, Griffin was also reimbursed due to injury in his rookie season, and it happened to Fat Tiger to wear Nike shoes. ~~"

"Boss Jiang, you're in a good mood!" Here, Liu Yan knocked on the door and came in to report the news. She said with a smile that Curry, Harden and their agent were here.

"That must, let them in." Jiang Chao rubbed her fragrant hair, and Lai Shixian and Liu Yan nodded friendly.

……

"I came first!"

"The first arena I entered!"

"The office I entered first!"

"I!!!"

Not long after Liu Yan went out, she saw the sound of thumping footsteps accompanied by noise. Curry and Harden's arm muscles were entangled at the door of Jiang Chao's office. Lai Shixian sat up from the sofa in fright. What's the matter?
He doesn't know much about Jiang Chao's first meeting with them, but does he know about the famous group of four blocking doors...

Then I saw two big and tall people crowded at the door, no one wanted to let anyone in, it was too noisy.

"Come in quickly, the door is about to break." Jiang Chao sat on the boss chair and smiled.

"no!"

Curry: "Boss-jiang! I came first!"

Harden: "Nonsense! He started slowly, I came first, I choose shoes first!"

I! !

The words of the two made Lai Shixian dumbfounded, while the two managers behind him were helpless, they were both young children, why couldn't they be more stable like Boss Jiang? ?
Jiang Chao laughed and stood up and pointed at Harden:
"I saw it, Harden's feet were bigger, he took a step first."

"I lost it!"

"fxxk!" Curry buried his head in his hands, while Harden smiled triumphantly with his hands on his hips.

"hey-hey!"

Several people sat down.

"Let me introduce, this is Lai Shixian, the person in charge of Chaoshen Sports, Mr. Lai. In the future, you can just ask him for sports shoes and other sporting goods."

"Hello Mr. Lai!"

"Hello Mr. Lai!"

Seeing the small engineer-like man sitting on the sofa, the two of Kuha could not help but take the initiative to shake hands politely.

Lai Shixian first gave the complete design drawings modified by himself and Ma Xun to the four of them.

Because Jiang Chao's design drawing is just a draft, and if their drawing is given to the foundry, it can be processed directly.

"Now it's only for the two of you to measure your feet."

They didn’t modify Yushuai much, but they added some technology to the design of Kobe 8 and Irving 5, because these two pairs of shoes in later generations are simple and beautiful, light and handsome, and Nike’s marketing is the reason why they are so popular. .

But in fact, the material is not flattering. The crystal sole of Kobe's boots has always been able to hit the infield, and the feedback of the Irving 5's rear foot has not been good, it is too hard.

Therefore, Lai Shixian and Ma Xun, the designer of Li Ning, carried out internal technological modifications. The 90% mesh material coverage of the entire upper of these two pairs of shoes creates a fitting foot feeling, extreme lightness and 360-degree all-round breathability. , Irving Five's rear foot plus a thin piece of Anta patented air cushion relieves the pressure on the rear heel, and also provides all the flexibility needed for the foot to bend.

Jiang Chao also lamented that Nike is a place that can cut corners and will never give up.

This small air cushion didn't feel much to Owen. It was impossible for them to rely on the air cushion to provide support after they landed. It would be good to have more stable carbon plates with a hard bottom.

But ordinary wearers will have a lot of difference. Lai Shixian's modification makes this pair of shoes more suitable for ordinary fans to use in actual combat.

Not to mention the eight generations of Kobe.

This is a good pair of shoes, but definitely not a good pair of basketball shoes, this evaluation is too classic.

Just like what Jiang Chao and Lai Shixian talked about before the two men came, they may have more designs for the public than star models. It is not only the basketball shoe market that really makes a lot of money, the public is the main force in the market.

Lai Shixian said that Jiang Chao has long been regarded as a god-man by the Chaoshen Sports group. They naturally know that Jiang Chao has ideas for running shoes and women's shoes. This is the rhythm of competing with Air Force One and Converse. The saying is that as long as one of Jiang Chao's shoes becomes a hit, he will definitely be the godfather of basketball shoes in China in the future.

Look at the current domestic market, which is frantically matching foreign trends. Who makes this kind of national trend?

The four people who saw the design drawings again were still amazed, especially after the comparison with Adidas Nike, they judged each other, not to mention how awesome it is, it can only be said that such a small company has such an awesome design team in the initial stage , and such a powerful "insider" boss, it's impossible not to sign.

Looking at their expressions, Jiang Chao was a little proud. Curry and Harden begged to line up to choose his designed shoes.

If this is reported by the media, who would dare to criticize him as a layman?
I don't deserve to start a company?

When the time comes, don't wear the shoes I designed!
The most critical step after the establishment of the company is finally coming. Coeha is the stepping stone to start the name of Chaoshen Sports, and it will also be the main force for the first pot of gold of Chaoshen Sports.

"Sign it, there is no way to refuse it."

Harden's heart trembled with excitement at first, he was going to decide on this high gang Yu Shuai.

Curry took a step back after struggling and chose Kobe's eighth-generation design as his Curry generation. Anyone who knows a little bit knows that this is the type that the public likes. It is light and can play. Jiang Chaozhi made it, and Curry has already thought I will get the royalties softly.

The main thing is.

No rookie can refuse to have his own signature sneakers when he first enters the league, and he can still hold a tens of millions of endorsement contracts!

"Follow your heart, as long as you like it."

Austin didn't say much anymore. In the past few days, he has been aggrieved at Nike to gloat about his misfortune. Everything seems to promote the beginning of their fate with Chaoshen Sports.

Harden's agent said that he had already visited Chaoshen Sports headquarters. Although there were no existing shoes, Anta's factory was real, and Jiang Chao's guarantee as the boss could not be a blank check. available.

Naturally, Jiang Chao didn't ink any ink, and motioned Liu Yan to ask Lao Lu to print out the contract immediately and bring it over.

Lai Shixian was quite surprised by the reaction of these two rookies. Why did the boss like these 3 shoes so much?Why don't you just sign the shoes before they come out?It's unimaginable from a Chinese perspective, but Jiang Chao owns a team, so he can't just cheat.

He actually didn't know that Jiang Chao's three pairs of shoes are all particular about them. First of all, they are guard shoes. What is surprising is that Harden would choose the high-top Yushuai. It seems that he likes this kind of epee without front. Probability is also because the concept of China attracted him.

Needless to say, the eighth generation of Kobe, Curry has been wearing shoes before signing Under Armor, what Jiang Chao thinks is that Kobe has not changed much in each subsequent generation. Everyone knows how Nike operates, basically changing a few details. Changing the color scheme is considered an upgrade.

The eighth generation of Kobe is the pinnacle of the Kobe sneaker series, and it is also the most popular one. Jiang Chao regards this as the Curry generation and wants to set a benchmark for the first generation, and it will be over if it sells well.

If the first generation does not become famous, how many generations will it be?What you want is a blockbuster!
In the later generations, Nike has one subject 8 and one Zhan 10. They have sucked so much blood from the Chinese people, and they are making money anyway. It is better to let Jiang Chao make money!
Lao Lu came with the contract, and the two agents looked carefully. They had no doubts about Lao Lu's identity and professionalism.

Both Curry and Harden patiently looked at the contract details related to them.

In addition to endorsement fees, there are also bonuses, such as winning the slam dunk contest, which can make sneakers appear on major media posters, and you can directly get a bonus of 10 US dollars.

Curry's eyes lit up, but he just thought about how he could dunk better than Griffin.

"No, if Griffin doesn't play this season, I really have a chance."

Jiang Chao knew what Curry was thinking by looking at Curry's expression, and Jinzhou LaVine was thinking about dunking from the free throw line.

There are very few other bonuses, the most is a reward of 1000 US dollars every other time, because these are the photo materials that can make the sneakers appear on high-definition posters with the players, even if they do not cooperate with this pair of shoe factories in the future, the posters will never be released. spread.

Then there are violations that require fines.

For example, if you appear in public, you can’t wear other brands’ clothing with your sports equipment. It doesn’t matter if you wear formal women’s clothing, but you can’t wear other brands’ sports brands, even backpacks. Chaoshen Sports will provide them all.

Then there are the basics. NBA games and post-match press conferences must wear super god sneakers, and a month to post a photo of your sneakers on social media.

Chaoshen's new product launch must shoot new product posters, TV commercials shot every six months...

So in fact, fans may not pay attention, but sometimes it may be the owner's task to let you see the sponsor's logo at a glance.

The endorsement fee of tens of millions is not so easy to get, you must fulfill the responsibility of a conscientious spokesperson.

"Super God Sports will surely rise!"

Lai Shixian has seen the contract signed by Anta, which is not so detailed at all. So many regulations made him lament the professionalism of Jiang Chao, the old Lu. When they were looking at the contract, Jiang Chao and Lai Shixian chatted about casual shoes, and asked him Calm down, remind in Chinese:
"You are the general manager of a company, you can't make a fuss like a player."

"Okay, I'll pay attention."

Lai Shixian's Adam's apple twitched, he is also a new recruit, he is really made to face this kind of situation, he is a bit socially afraid, he is still not used to it, the main reason is that Jiang Chao's aura and some things he saw are too awesome.

Jiang Chao talked a little about the Coconut Project. Now that Adidas’ boost has not yet been born, he has asked Ding Shizhong to research the boost technology in advance as soon as possible. This is the super midsole material technology of Adidas in the future. The concept of Boost.

It should be said that all shoe fans know what material Boost's foam soles are made of.

"White coconuts, black coconuts, green coconuts and blue coconuts, these are the things that can really be sold."

"What? Coconut?"

"I'll give you a detailed concept when the time comes, and you can ask Ma Xun and the others to design it."

Jiang Chao didn't say much. Now that the boost has not been released, the coconut has not yet been released. This is a shoe that became popular after the cooperation between Kanye and Adidas.

Lai Shixian's blood boiled when he heard this, he looked much stronger than his elder brother Ding Zong when he was young.

There is no shortage of factories in the world, and Anta has no shortage of manpower.

What is lacking is powerful shoes. With this design concept, even if you have a bloody head in the market, the boss probably still has new ideas.

"The concept of this coconut will be the concept of our future public casual shoes, and Curry Harden will be the first endorsement for the time being."

"In the future, I will find celebrities and even my secretary to shoot endorsement posters, you know."

"Yeah...I actually think we're financially suited for sneaker posters too."

"Yes, she has fair skin, which is more photogenic, and her legs are suitable for wearing sneakers."

"Yes, I will develop the coconut series as soon as possible. I think this kind of soft elastic casual shoes should be very comfortable, and young people will like it."

"Well, develop it first, and these shoes will sell well after I create more stars."

"OK!"

Lai Shixian likes this kind of entrepreneurial feeling so much, he is already frantically looking forward to the results of Jiang Chao's ideas.

Curry later understood them when they spoke English. It seemed that ordinary casual shoes should be designed by themselves. ?

So next, he seemed to be looking at the contract, but in fact, he just wanted to sign it.

"Liu Yan, you ask Mr. Yang to send some reporters over and give them first-hand news."

"Okay." Liu Yan has been looking at her legs. She is going to compare with Jiang Shuying whose legs are longer. Longer legs are invincible in sneakers.

10 minute later.

Witnessed by several photographers and editors from Chaoshen Forum and International Herald, Jiang Chao, Curry, Harden, and Lai Shixian signed and shook hands with each other.

The 09 New York Gemini also officially became the Super God Gemini! !
5000 million in five years, signed endorsement contract!

The International Herald released the first-hand news:
"This day will go down in sneaker history!
James Harden, Stephen Curry sign with Chaoshen Sports! ! "

A moderator of Chaoshen Forum replied to this message:
"You may think this is bragging, I hope this post will be kept forever, and we will come back to archeology in five years!!"

"Boss Jiang Chao's business giant is slowly rolling over the American Emperor's sports circle!!"
