Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left

Chapter 97: fleece capitalism

90 million in 6 years!

In this era, this is the biggest shoe contract. Zuo Li who hasn't played an NBA game has surpassed a lot of NBA superstars. Even Kobe, James and other hot stars have no bigger shoe contracts than Zuo Li.

How can this not make those media boil.

You must know that the NBA is a commercial league, and every star has a huge commercial value behind it. Top stars naturally have signed sneakers, and they usually get an endorsement contract after they are worth their money.

In the history of the NBA so far, there are only 4 people who can get a high-value sneaker contract without playing a game, namely Iverson and Reebok's 10-year 50 million, Kobe and Adi's 6-year 48 million, James' 7 $87 million a year and Durant's seven-year $60 million.

Zuo Li became the fifth person after them, and he had the largest amount of money, but the shortest number of years. This still did not expose Zuo Li's sharing agreement and his own brand, otherwise the media would probably be stunned.

But now this is enough. Considering Zuo Li's announcement to participate in the 2008 draft, Zuo Li shook the entire basketball world on the first day of the new year, and many NBA stars were blown up.

"Unbelievable, the world is so crazy." - O'Neal.

"Isn't that saying big guys don't sell shoes?" - Garnett.

"This is the biggest news this year, isn't it? Right?" Anthony.

"Crazy decision, I hope I won't regret it in the future." - Durant.

And the people who eat melons on the Internet naturally have mixed reviews.

Some people said that AND1 had lost their minds, and using so much money to sign a rookie who didn't make it to the NBA was simply doing charity.

Others lamented that Zuo Li had become a newcomer with great influence and looked forward to his performance.

Of course, there are also those who ridicule Zuo Li, and it is outrageous for a big man to want to sell shoes.

Anyway, there is nothing to say.

However, the fact is that after the announcement, AND1's stock price rose 4 points, preventing the downward trend for 5 consecutive days, which has made AND1 executives laugh.

As for Nike and Adi, who insisted on signing Zuoli but failed, they only felt regret, but they didn't feel anything, especially Nike, which already owns super rookies such as James, Durant, Ross, Beasley, and Mayo. Contact, it is estimated that it will be completed soon, a Zuo Li, it doesn't matter.

However, this decision is considered to be Nike's worst decision in the next 20 years, no one...

This is all for later.

At the end of the song, only Zuo Li and Rich Paul were left in the office. Rich Paul held a cigar in his hand, but because of Zuo Li, he did not light it, but just held it in his hand, which is also considered his unique Ways of celebrating.

And soon, Zuo also gave him a big gift, a check for $200,000.

"Good job Richie, this is 200,000, which is your year-end bonus." Zuo Li patted Richie Paul on the shoulder.

"This, this is too much, man, I've got a lot." Rich Paul was a little panicked about this unexpected surprise. There is no such year-end bonus in the contract. Even after Zuo Li signed the contract, he could take a cut. Millions, but it didn't happen overnight, and $200,000 was still a huge sum for him.

"You deserve it, thanks to you persuading them, otherwise they would hang on the tree in the street, and we don't need to talk so much between us, take it, the future first agent."

That's right, Rich Paul contributed to the success of this signing. He not only negotiated this sky-high contract with AND1, but also a sharing agreement, as well as Zuoli's own brand, and persuaded AND1 to change the company's strategy.

In the past, the focus of AND1 was on the streets, but after this signing, the focus of AND1 will begin to tilt towards the NBA. They will increase their investment in order to sign more NBA players to expand their influence in the NBA. This is undoubtedly a time upheaval.

Zuo Li originally only mentioned it, because it is not easy for a company to change its strategy. AND1 made a fortune on the streets. Garnett and the Pistons didn't let them change their strategy. I didn't expect Rich Paul to do it. It's done, which proves that Zuo Li's vision is correct. This guy is a talent, and Zuo Li will naturally not be stingy.

"Well! Then I'll accept it." Rich Paul nodded heavily. Zuo Li's words not only touched him, but also gave birth to the feeling that a scholar died for his confidant. From the beginning, Zuo Li had no trust in him. No reservations, which is why he works so hard

And the phrase "the first agent of the future" makes Rich Paul very proud. He believes that this situation has just begun on paper, and they will definitely create a bigger cause.

Zuo Li didn't stay too long, the signing was just the first thing today.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zuo Li appeared in a cafe near Wall Street. Mr. Derek had been waiting for a long time, and they met a well-known stock trader on Wall Street. Naturally, the purpose was to collect some of the assets that Zuo Li had been acquiring in 2004. The stock is sold.

Zuo Li entrusted Mr. Derek to this matter and not someone else. The reason is naturally that Mr. Derek is very trustworthy. He was young and opened an account with Mr. Derek. Without Mr. Derek's help , this may not be possible.

But now that everything is going well, it's time to harvest.

"Zuo Li, you have to sell all your stocks, but why do I hear that the market is very good now, it's a bull market, it's a pity to sell it now." Mr. Derek said while no one came.

At the beginning, he was also full of doubts. It was unbelievable that Zuo Li could invest in stocks, but in the next few years, watching the stocks invested by Zuo Li continue to skyrocket, he believed it, and under Zuo Li's guidance, he also bought He was able to get out of poverty at last, and if he hadn't been worried about going to the orphanage, he would have resigned a long time ago.

"Sir, believe me, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is the best time, except for apples, it's best to sell them." Zuo Li said.

There is no need to explain too much. The year 2008 is enough to illustrate the problem. The economic and financial crisis that swept the United States has already begun to show signs. Of course, this is also an opportunity for Zuo Li, and Zuo Li will naturally not miss this opportunity.

Zuo Li has been planning for this since 2004. Because of his identity and the fact that he was clean at the beginning, he really spent a lot of effort, and now, it is finally time to reap the rewards.

"Okay, Mr. Zuo Li, all your 4 stocks are sold, and they will arrive in your account in about three days. All of them have been deposited into the predetermined account for you. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." The trader named Dodge Respectfully hand over the information to Zuo Li.

The stock valued at 3 million that year has tripled at the lowest level and 7.5 times at the highest. The total amount has just reached US$20 million. He can get 350,000 commissions for this trip alone. In every way, the man in front of him is considered a genius.

"Of course." Zuo Li shook hands with Dodge in satisfaction. He could be considered a piece of capitalism, so he really didn't have the slightest burden.

In this way, Zuo Li has only one stock left in Apple's hands, and he is ready to increase investment again. Although the economic crisis has an impact on Apple, it has little impact. Instead, it will become an opportunity for Apple to take off after the end. I believe No one thought that Apple, which had a market value of only 10 billion in 2004, had reached a market value of 100 billion last year, and no one would have thought that this was just the beginning, so Zuoli invested all the money he earned.

At the same time, he called Rich Paul and asked him to pay attention to the possibility that a company called Ali in the market may invest in the United States. Zuoli's business layout has just begun.
