I'm the owner of the Lakers

While Frank was dazed by the news of his sudden transformation into a millionaire, Bryant and his agent Taylham also arrived at the Hilton Hotel.

Xiao Yang simply borrowed a conference room from the hotel, and the normal process should have held a press conference, but Under Armour did not have a serious office address yet.

So the two sides decided to sign the contract first, and then wait for Under Armour to be ready, and then hold a press conference, which will definitely be completed before the start of the regular season, after all, Xiao Yang also wants Kobe to wear Under Armour's signature shoes to officially appear in the NBA.

Bryant took Tylem and carefully looked at the contract that Xiao Yang had asked the lawyer to draft in advance in the conference room, and Planck also took it and looked at it.

When he saw the contract amount, he couldn't help but look at Kobe, and then looked at Xiao Yang, and found that Xiao Yang didn't mean to withdraw his thoughts at all, and shook his head helplessly.

Kobe Bryant carefully confirmed the terms of the contract, Xiao Yang and Kobe Bryant's conditions are clearly written on it, so there is not much doubt, the two sides smoothly signed the contract in duplicate, Kobe officially signed Under Armour.

"Snap." Xiao Yang stood up and applauded excitedly, "You will be glad for this decision at this time." "

"Thanks, I thought so too." Bryant smiled too.

"When our venue is set up, we will officially hold a press conference with you." Xiao Yang said as he shook hands with Tylem.

"Shaw, now you are Kobe's team and the owner of the sneakers, we maintain absolute trust in you, haha~" Taylham laughed.

"Kevin, you must determine the venue these days, you can't delay it any longer, we still need time to recruit, and the flagship stores in various places, at least in a few big cities in the United States, we have to have places to shop for goods." Xiao Yang feels a little pain about this, now it's only 96 years, online shopping has not yet become popular, people mostly buy goods in physical stores, at most there are some telephone shopping, Under Armour wants to develop, and specialty stores around the world must be opened.

"Well, I've already found a place, I'll show you later, if it's okay, we can sign the lease contract in the afternoon." Plank nodded, time is indeed a little urgent, fortunately Xiao Yang brought a few pairs of core product design drafts, otherwise he still has to hurt the designer's problem.

The two sides hugged goodbye again, Kobe and Taylham left, Kobe Bryant has to go back to training, this time the signing is also in the training for two hours, and will make up for it later.

And Xiao Yang also left with Plank at this time, he wanted to see the address of the company, if there was no problem, it would be determined as soon as possible.

"It's too sad, isn't he planning to be a dispenser, why is he now designing products and looking for spokespersons, and now he has to determine the company's address..." Xiao Yang thought a little sadly and angrily about things that deviated from his preconceived ideas.

Soon Plank drove to the destination, an office building relatively close to the city, the traffic is quite convenient, Xiao Yang raised his head and looked at the office building, "How many floors ah~" Suddenly found that this is not far from Charlize's apartment, haha, it will be very convenient in the future.

"The office building has a total of 33 floors, I look at the 27th floor, which is also close to the city, the transportation is convenient, and the rent is not as expensive as the city." Planck has obviously picked many places for comparison.

"Good, go up and take a look." Xiao Yang didn't talk nonsense, walked in front and entered the office building.

The two quickly made an elevator up, it can be seen that it is a company, now moved away, the door is not locked when it arrives, Xiao Yang went in directly and looked, well, so it looks like the place is quite empty, it is estimated that there is one or two thousand square meters.

"Call the property up, that's it, there is no time to pick, and we will build our own independent office building when we make money in the future," Xiao Yang said to Planck.

Plank nodded and made a direct call, and a few minutes later, a fat man walked in breathlessly.

"Hi Kevin, have you finally decided!" The fat man shook hands with him when he saw Plank.

"Hansen, this is my boss, Shaw." "This is the property manager of this building, Hansen." Planck made introductions for both sides.

"Hello, Hansen." Xiao Yang shook Hansen's hand simply, "Haha, I didn't expect Kevin's boss to be so young." Hansen had a smile on his face.

"Can you tell me about this place?"

"Of course, my friend." The fat man said happily, "The geographical location here you also know, although it is not an urban area, but it is not far from the city, the traffic is more convenient, this floor was originally an insurance company, but the boss seems to have a problem with the capital chain, so it did not renew the lease, this place, 1,800 square meters, the office that accommodates more than a hundred people is definitely more than enough." Hansen said in one breath.

"These are okay, what about the rent?"

"Hehe, last time I told Kevin, 1.5 million dollars a year."

"1.2 million, sign the contract immediately." Xiao Yang also did not talk nonsense, and directly quoted a reserve price. "You have to know that now that the economic environment is sluggish, you don't know when you can rent it out if it's empty, and the rent of 100,000 a month is not cheap."

"This... Okay, but you have to pay the full amount in one lump sum. Hansen hesitated, but agreed.

"No problem, Kevin, you go down and sign the lease now." Xiao Yang is not entangled, now pay attention to efficiency, otherwise he really can't catch up with the regular season.

--- ask for flowers, ask for --- collection

After successfully determining the office address, Plank quickly recruited a few assistants, after all, there are quite a lot of things behind, it is too tired to run by yourself, and the efficiency is not high, and now the secondary is handed over to the assistant to do, and he is responsible for more important things.

In the next half month, Planck quickly assembled the structure of the company, the designers also recruited a few from Nike Adi for high salaries, and Xiao Yang also sent the finance team to Under Armour.

The designers who were recruited with high salaries were originally a treasure of labor and management, but when they saw a few design drafts taken out by Plank, saying that they were drawn by the boss himself, they were shocked, and they became honest elementary school students one by one, only hoping that Xiao Yang could guide them.

Xiao Yang has this effort, casually said some design concepts and aesthetics in later generations, as long as they honestly don't jump.

Planck quickly found the factory and made the design into a sample.

"The real thing looks even more amazing than it is drawn on paper!" Planck looked at the several pairs of sample shoes on Xiao Yang's desk with a mesmerized look, although he had seen it many times, he still marveled at Xiao Yang's genius when he showed it to Xiao Yang.

"Well, it's pretty beautiful." Xiao Yang didn't feel anything, after all, he had seen the real thing many times in his previous life.

"By the way, add this to the Tianzu and Mandarin Duck shoes." Xiao Yang said and handed over a drawing, which was drawn on Kobe's classic scabbard logo, last time he forgot to draw, afraid that Kobe's classic logo would change after signing Under Armour, and simply drew it himself.

"This is?" Plank frowned and looked at the drawing.

"Kobe's personal logo, add him to two pairs of shoes, both of which are his signature shoes." Xiao Yang said lightly, anyway, now Under Armour is a spokesperson for Kobe, it is useless to keep shoes, it is better to give Kobe, it can be regarded as getting closer to Kobe.

“wtf？ Both pairs of Kobe's signature shoes? Plank's eyes almost fell to the ground, "Are you all right?" He's just a rookie, I don't know much about the NBA, but there are a few in history who can have their own signature shoes in their rookie season, let alone two pairs, which can be said to be unprecedented. "

"Yes, you're right, it's unprecedented for a rookie to have two pairs of signature shoes, but isn't that a good thing?" The corners of Xiao Yang's mouth curved, "Unprecedented, how can this kind of news media miss it, will the public be interested in knowing what shoes this unprecedented rookie is wearing under his feet?" "

"This unprecedented news will firmly attract everyone's attention, which Andmar can't do for much money, and now it's free to advertise, why don't we do it?" Xiao Yang looked at the sneakers in front of him.

"When people's attention shifts from Kobe Bryant's sneakers, do you think they'll be impressed by the sneakers?" Xiao Yang smiled, "What's more, do we have any other players besides Kobe?" If these two shoes are not given to him this year, do we have to wait until next year? "

"This... Well, you're right, this unprecedented approach will definitely bring a lot of attention to Under Armour. Plank nodded, acknowledging Xiao Yang's statement.

"Then, what you need to do now is to lay out as many stores as possible, so that others can't find a place to buy when the time comes." Xiao Yang's only worry now is that the supply channels cannot keep up with the market heat, so he can only watch that the banknotes cannot be earned.

"Rest assured, I have rented a lot of stores in the top cities in the United States, and now they are being renovated, and when the production of these products is confirmed, they can be supplied to specialty stores in various places." Plank nodded.

Before the start of the 96-97 preseason, Under Armour officially signed Kobe Bryant at a press conference, whether it was the amount of the contract or the unprecedented rookie two signed shoes, both shocked the United States, a group of reporters followed the smell of blood sharks rushed up, one after another, fans also began to turn their eyes to Kobe, a 17-year-old high school player, to see what is unique about this kid.
