I’m Really Playing Basketball

On July 6, 2007, when Jordan was having a headache over the Bobcats' backup center, Chen Xiao had already taken Xiao Chen on a special plane to China.

This summer, Chen Xiao will have many activities in Asia, such as participating in Korean variety shows, participating in FIBA's basketball promotion summer camp in Japan, and traveling to China to promote Hook domestically.

Although Chen Xiao's attitude towards Gou Zi has always been very unkind, because of instigating Xiao Zhan's plan to rebel against Gou Zi, the relationship between Chen Xiao and Gou Zi has also dropped to a freezing point, but Gou Zi really has nothing to do with Chen Xiao.

After all, Chen Xiao is the number one player in the NBA now and has too much influence.

Therefore, the top management of Hook could only complain during the meeting, saying that Chen Xiao was the most unprofessional star they had ever signed!

By the way, if word spreads about the meeting between Hook's top executives, many American fans will definitely agree. NBA stars in the United States, no matter how bad their personalities are, still have a very good attitude towards the fans, no matter who they are a fan of.

But Chen Xiao, that's true. As long as you have nothing to do with me, I'm really not a good person at all. I'm so aloof.

Chen Xiao has no professional ethics and is discriminating against American fans. Basically, every All-Star weekend has to be repeated. The content does not need to be changed. Just change the venue where the All-Star event is held.

But, again, Chen Xiao is the number one player in the NBA. No matter how much you dislike him, you can't avoid him.

Of course, these people don't like Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao doesn't necessarily like these people.

Not to mention those fans who trolled him online and asked for autographs and photos when they saw him offline.

Because of Xiao Zhan's relationship, Chen Xiao is very utilitarian in business and tries to control the NBA and its players, which he doesn't like at all.

As someone with a basketball system, hooks are simply a cancer. Why should you hinder Xiao Zhan's progress?

Why is Xiao Zhan training so hard, but you still have to push him to participate in so many so-called commercial promotion activities?

By the way, Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan have discussed in private more than once. After the contract with Gouzi ends, the two plan to create a sports brand of their own.

Chen Xiao's contract with Gouzi only lasts for one year, while Xiao Zhan's contract is until 2010.

Therefore, according to the discussion between Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan, Chen Xiao first established the company, and then joined after Xiao Zhan's contract expired.

Of course, both Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan have avoidance clauses from their peers.

But, what does it matter?

Wade has always been disliked and has not signed a contract. Let Wade come.

Therefore, this time Chen Xiao also brought Wade with him on his trip to China.

According to the discussion between Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan, there is no need for them to start a brand new company. They can simply affiliate it to an existing sports brand and create a sub-brand.

This brand cannot be an international brand that is too big, otherwise they will lose the initiative.

In addition, this brand must have its own production line and its own research and development capabilities.

To be honest, there are quite a few such sports brands in China.

One of them, Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan, were very satisfied.

When Wade sent invitations to these powerful first-tier sports companies in China, the "TO BE No. 1" brand plan proposed by one of them, Hongxing Erke, won the hearts of Wade, Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan.

To be honest, the three of them are not actually short of money.

Not long ago, Microsoft spent US$240 million to acquire only 1.6% of Facebook shares. Now Facebook's valuation has exceeded US$15 billion.

Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan are now billionaires thanks to their Facebook shares.

And Wade is also worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

The three of them want to cooperate to create a sports brand, and the purpose is to hook up.

All three of them were very dissatisfied with the hook.

Wade won't say anything, he has always been disliked by Hook.

Xiao Zhan, on the other hand, was devastated by the hook and almost made him go to the Dream Team to take the blame. He always wanted to control his career and life.

And Chen Xiao...

Of course, what Xiao Zhan and Wade hate is what he hates!

Therefore, the natural goal of dry hook is to become the first.

Therefore, Hongxing Erke’s “TO BE No. 1” plan really impressed Chen Xiao.

Of course, Chen Xiao and Gou Zi are still officially in a cooperative relationship, so Chen Xiao really has no professional ethics and directly signed a contract with Hongxing Erke without giving Gou Zi face.

This time Chen Xiao accompanied Wade and Hongxing Erke to sign the contract.

Hongxing Erke announced that it would jointly invest with Wade to establish ‘No.1’ Sports. At the same time, Wade signed a three-year 20% sales contract with No.1 Sports.

For every pair of sneakers sold by NO.1 Sports, 20% of the sales of the sneakers will be transferred to Wade's account.

If a pair of Wade's signature sneakers costs 500 yuan and one million pairs are sold, it will be 500 million yuan, and Wade will get 20% of it, which is 100 million yuan.

In fact, this is a conservative estimate. Historically, when James was at his peak, he could sell about 4 million pairs of sneakers a year, while Durant sold about 2.5 million pairs.

As for Wade, with his current popularity in China and the United States, it is still possible to compare with the peak Durant in history, not only with the peak James.

Even if the peak Durant has the bonus of the hook, even if the channel advantage of the hook is removed, it is easy for Wade to sell 1.5 million pairs of signature sneakers a year.

1.5 million pairs, even if the price is as low as 500 yuan, it is still 150 million yuan in revenue. Although the money is in RMB, it is much more fragrant than the hook.

What's more, there are still shares, and the shares are not low.

If NO.1 really develops well, it will definitely be a bloody profit.

Even if the development is not good, there is not much loss, or in other words, Wade, Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan can all afford such a loss.

In Jinling, after Chen Xiao accompanied Wade and Hongxing Erke to sign the contract, he accompanied Wade to go around Hu Jian's Hongxing Erke production line. Although the contract had just been signed, the cooperation had been prepared for a long time, and even Wade's generation had It has been designed and can be produced at any time.

, and finally, the Wade generation will be launched at the beginning of the new season. At the same time, the Wade generation will also launch Marquette University limited edition and championship limited edition.

Finally, five years after entering the NBA, Wade has his own pair of signature sneakers.

Well, Wade has been wearing Chen Xiao or Jordan sneakers before.

Now I finally have my own sneakers, which can be said to be a blessing in disguise.

And these shoes are designed by myself.

Therefore, Wade likes it quite a lot.

At the same time, I am also looking forward to it very much.

This kid now wishes that his shoes would be on the market soon, and then he would slap Hook in the face.

In China, with Wade's popularity, his signature sneakers only cost 500, and the sales volume will definitely be very high. In the United States, the price of 100 US dollars is not high, but Hongxing Erke's sales channels are limited. How many sales will it have? , this is really hard to say.

However, sales channels are created from scratch, so take your time and don’t rush.

It is definitely not something that a "mere" Wade can do to knock down the behemoth Hook.

Aren't there Chen Xiao and James waiting behind?

By the way, NO.1 Sports quickly welcomed its second signed star before Chen Xiao.

After signing with Wade, No. 1 quickly completed the signings of Ron Howard, Kidd, and Roy.

It can be seen that these are Chen Xiao's friends and former teammates. They are very popular in China and are not low in the United States.

Especially Ron Howard's popularity in the United States is quite high.

NO1 was able to sign Luo Ge, thanks to Chen Xiao and Wade.

Let's put it this way, unlike Wade, Hook has always wanted to sign Luo Ge.

But Luo Ge kept refusing. Luo Ge sacrificed his love for basketball.

Will he be held by the hook for money?

This is not funny.

Brother Luo has been short of money since he was a child?

Therefore, Luo Ge is basically insulated from business cooperation.

There was never any endorsement.

This time signing NO.1 is his first time.

Therefore, after the signing of No. 1 and Luo Ge was completed, the impact was much greater than that of Wade.

Wade's popularity and influence in China are indeed stronger than Luo Ge's.

But in the United States, it's hard to say how popular Wade and Rogo are, but compared to their influence, Wade is definitely the younger brother.

Even if Chen Xiao and Luo Ge are compared in terms of influence and "out of the circle" index in the United States, they are still younger brothers.

After Luo Ge signed a contract with NO.1 Sports, the black female stars in the United States retweeted it like crazy.

The newly established NO.1 Sports was in the limelight for a time because of Luo Ge.

The top executives of the hook looked a little frightened.

To be fair, the senior management of Hook knew about Luo Ge's influence in the United States.

That's why they knelt down and licked Brother Luo so much, even if Brother Luo kept rejecting them, they kept kneeling and licking him.

Let's put it this way, Luo Ge's influence among American women is unmatched by any other NBA star.

And how crazy is the purchasing power of women?

It's pretty much the same all over the world.

After Luo Ge signed a contract with NO, Rihanna, a young black girl, said that she would buy a thousand pairs for fans.

After Rihanna, a little black girl, expressed her stance, a bunch of black girl celebrities followed suit, and the most arrogant one was definitely Beyoncé, who sold 10,000 pairs at a time.

Wade who was watching this was really envious.

Everyone is handsome, why are you so popular with actresses?

By the way, among the three of us brothers, why am I the only one who is an honest person?

You two guys can be scumbags, why can't I?

For this, Wade has always been quite envious.

The female cheerleaders around Chen Xiao and Luo Ge are really the envy of any man.

The three brothers, Chen Xiao and Brother Luo, were not married, so he was the only one who got married.

This made Wade wonder whether he was a bit too disadvantaged.

If he hadn't married so early, could he still be a handsome scumbag?

Of course, this is just a thought, and Wade didn't really plan to do it.

By the way, the matter of NO.1 sports did not happen in a day or two. The upsurge caused by Luo Ge's signing with NO.1 has already reached August.

At this time, Chen Xiao had already finished his trip to China, and now he has opened a star training camp in Japan to promote basketball.

This year's star training camp in Japan has expanded again.

Although the celebrity training camp opened by Chen Xiao in Japan is not a variety show, it is broadcast live every day.

Moreover, TV Tokyo’s live broadcast has quite high ratings.

Therefore, this year it attracted a lot of celebrities to participate.

Among them, the main culprit for the explosion in the number of people in this training camp is AKB.

However, Chen Xiao's workload has not increased much, because this year Chen Xiao has a few more assistants, Jugen-chan, Aragaki-san, Masami-chan, and Horikita-san.

These girls are pretty good at basketball right now.

At the very least, with his one-on-one teaching in the past two years, it is still possible to teach those stars some basketball basics.

Therefore, with such outstanding four assistants, plus these beautiful young girls in basketball uniforms, Chen Xiao does not feel tired mentally. It is definitely not easy to be a teacher for so many people physically, but mentally, Chen Xiao still enjoyed it very much.

It can be regarded as helping FIBA ​​promote basketball while also vacationing and relaxing.

In short, this summer in Japan, basketball has become the biggest topic in Japan again because of Chen Xiao and his star training camp.

On the Internet, Japanese male netizens only have one sentence to say about this training camp that Chen Xiao has cooperated with FIBA ​​and the Japan Basketball Association.

"Chen Xiao is even more scumbag!"

However, those female stars in Japan are also more crazy, and the live ratings of TV Tokyo are also higher.

All I can say is that Japanese men’s bodies are always so honest, and the sight of a bunch of beautiful girls sweating profusely while playing basketball is indeed pretty good-looking.

By the way, Chen Xiao's female star training camp in Japan was held after the 2007 Japan Men's Basketball Asian Championship.

In this Asian Championship, the Chinese second team narrowly defeated Iran in the final and won the final championship.

This championship is irrelevant in terms of Olympic qualifications. Without such a championship, the Chinese team would still have Olympic qualifications.

However, in terms of its significance to Chinese basketball, this championship is very important.

Because this is a championship won in the absence of NBA stars such as Chen Xiao and Yao Ming.

This means that the overall strength of Chinese basketball has improved.

And why can the overall strength of Chinese basketball improve so much?

Of course it's because of Chen Xiao!

Therefore, the leaders of the Basketball Association discussed with Chen Xiao after the Asian Championships and planned to build a basketball school in Chen Xiao's village. The school would open for one month every year, with Chen Xiao as the teacher and the students from national teams of all ages across the country. Players and talented players from various provincial teams select 100 people to study here.

In the end, Chen Xiao agreed to the plan of the leaders of the Basketball Association.

And when Chen Xiao agreed to the plan led by the Basketball Association...

"Ding, congratulations to the host for making a significant contribution to the promotion of basketball, and rewarding the host with three '1-point attribute cards'."

Item: One point attribute card

Description: It can increase any attribute not higher than 100 by 1 point.

This was something Chen Xiao didn't expect.

At the end of the one-month star training camp in Japan, Chen Xiao's two proud disciples in the training camp, Masami-chan and Aragaki-san, found Chen Xiao with some tangles.

"Teacher, Director Ikegani found us just now, hoping that we can be selected for the national team while taking care of our acting career. Do you think it's okay?"

"What are your own thoughts?"

"Teacher, Yui-chan and I really want to participate in the Olympics!"

Looking at the light in the eyes of the two beautiful girl disciples, Chen Xiao nodded with a smile.

Beautiful celebrities participating in the Women's Basketball Olympics?

This really made Chen Ling a little bit confused about how to complain.

However, Yui-chan and Yami-chan's basketball skills are really good.

Especially ball control.

The ball-handling talents of these two beautiful girls are really eye-catching.

The two are less than 1.7 meters tall. They have excellent ball control and good speed. In a women's basketball game where there are not many tall players and the defense is not that strong, they can simply kill at a random level.

Although it is almost impossible to play against the strong European and American teams and the Chinese team, it is indeed very distinctive compared to the original point guard in Japan, and may be more useful.

Stars go to the Olympics.

Will the popularity of Yami-chan and Yui-chan take off in Japan?

At the same time, the effect of his promotion of basketball in Japan will also take off?

And at this moment...

"Ding, congratulations to the host for achieving a phased success in promoting basketball in Japan. The host will be rewarded with two '1-point attribute cards'."
