NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 125: Angry Kobe! Harden, Curry signed, coconut plan

Los Angeles.

A mansion in xx Villa.

I was having a lingering chat with my wife when I was disturbed by a call from my manager.

The agent did not go into detail about Kobe Bryant's Twitter being exposed, saying that he had set up Kobe's social media to disable comments.

When Kobe learned about this, he was furious. He called the general manager of Nike and yelled at Vanessa.

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

But Nike's confidence is so strong that it remained unmoved all night.

The next day.

The president of Reebok criticized Nike for its lack of response:

"It's clear that Nike's success is intrinsically linked to the technical performance of its products, and it's clearly something they will be paying attention to and shouldn't simply be brushed aside. However, this is a shoe that deserves attention."

The broken shoe was not an accident.

Durant and Westbrook, the two most popular newcomers under Nike, are also gentlemen. They require their sneaker brands to strictly control the quality of their sneakers. They hope that the sneakers they wear are the most expensive in the world, and they will not be afraid of stepping on them.

Impact on career.

Under the pressure of public opinion, Nike finally reluctantly stated that it would launch an investigation and hold accountable for this, and Kobe was forced to leave the game in person and first expressed his helplessness:

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

In fact, privately, he scolded Nike and said that it would quickly make up for the losses. He valued his own shoes the most and would not allow any sand to appear.

The next official news from the Clippers was scary.

Griffin suffered a grade 2 knee sprain and may be out for the season!

It exploded all of a sudden.

After Harden returned to New York, Culliben received a call from Nike asking them to talk again. As a result, Nike was completely distracted by the news, and Coha and Coha also completely gave up on Nike. This body is as strong as steel.

Griffin is about to end 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 immediately. The D-series brand has good quality. Although the stock price has not increased much this time, its image among players

It's completely beaten up.

Kobe had to speak out at this time. He first hoped that Griffin would be fine and expressed regret that his shoe was stepped on:

"But I also want to make it clear that these are defender shoes and are not recommended for heavy people."

The market has just calmed down a little now. Indeed, Big Brother's shoes have always been light and durable, and they are definitely not durable. It is really not suitable for inner shoes 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 would the company wear Griffin's clothes? Doesn't it care about the player's career?"

Just this sentence, Nike had to come out and refute the rumor again, saying that Kobe4 is a spontaneous behavior of the players and not decided by their company. Griffin has now signed a contract with Nike. He is also a mute and dare not say more.

I can say that the Nike brand is still very good, but the way he wears it is wrong.

At this time, Kobe really cared about Jiang Chao, his boss, because Jiang Chao's speech had the most likes.

His eyes lit up as he watched Jiang Chao’s Twitter message:

"Jiang, right? There are not too many tragedies in Madison, right???"

This is like making enemies even before they have even met.

Kobe's agent Taylor also sent a message to the Knicks office, which simply means, "Don't meddle in things that shouldn't be your business."

Kobe was very angry and the consequences were serious!

Jiang Chao's attitude towards this is still the same. Feel free to be angry and beat the Knicks hard. Young guys really need some "Madison Massacre" if they want to grow up.

Anyway, Kuha has basically got it.

D'Antoni said to Liu Yan:

"Our boss has already won two defeats ahead of schedule next season."

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

"If boss Jiang Chao doesn't say such things, he is not Jiang Chao."

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

Beating the Lakers is inherently dangerous, so just let the Black Mamba get angry, just so he can beat our back line."

Downey Jr. smiled and slapped his mustache on the back:

"Mustache, your personality has changed when you are around your boss. You were not like this before."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"By the way, Downey Jr., haven't you been at the training gym lately? Why are you here?"

"Curry Harden said as soon as he came back that he wanted to take half a day off to see his boss. It seems that he wants to sign a contract with the boss's company. I'm looking for General Manager Sean to sign the leave request form for them."

"oh!!yeah!"

Liu Yan, who had always been calm and collected, raised her hands and jumped up. She knew how much pressure Jiang Chao was under during this period, so she was just waiting for the two people to reply.

Sean Marks from the general manager's office: "Okay, if they are allowed to take time off, does that mean the boss is going to start making a lot of money?"

Downey Jr.: "Manager Sean, from now on you will also have Boss brand sneakers to wear."

…

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

Lai Shixian, on the other hand, was restless on the sofa. It was his first time in his boss's office, and he was about to do 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 to grab two lottery-level rookie players from the United States!! Ding Shizhong ordered him to help Jiang Chao win successfully. This will be a great morale booster for Anta.

one thing.

The gramophone in the room was playing "Hotel California", and Jiang Chao couldn't help but hum a few times.

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

And what was most surprising to him was that in his previous life, Griffin was reimbursed due to injury in his rookie season, and it was Fat Tiger who broke out his Nike shoes. It also happened in this life, and God was on his side, so he was naturally happy to "California"

~~"

"Boss Jiang, you are in a good mood!" Liu Yan knocked on the door and came in to report the news. She smiled broadly and said that Curry, Harden and their agents were here.

"Then it's necessary, let them in." Jiang Chao rubbed her fragrant hair, and Lai Shixian also nodded friendly to Liu Yan.

…

"I came first!"

"The first arena I entered!"

"I entered the office first!"

"I!!!"

Not long after Liu Yan just went out, she saw the sound of banging footsteps accompanied by noise. The arm muscles of Curry and Harden were entangled at the door of Jiang Chao's office. Lai Shixian was so frightened that he sat up from the sofa. What happened?

He didn't know much about Jiang Chao's first negotiation with them, but did he know about the famous foursome who blocked the door...

Then I saw two tall men crowded at the door, no one wanted to let anyone in, and they were making a lot of noise.

"Come in quickly, the door is about to break down." Jiang Chao sat on the boss's chair and said with a smile.

"no!"

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

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

I!!

The words of the two people made Lai Shixian dumbfounded, while the two agents behind him were helpless. They are both young children. Why can'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 the first step."

"I lost it!"

"fxxk!" Curry buried his head in his hands, while Harden put his hands on his hips and smiled proudly.

"hey-hey!"

Several people sat down.

"Let me introduce, this is Lai Shixian, the person in charge of Chaoshen Sports, Mr. Lai. From now on, just contact him for matters related to sneakers and other sporting goods."

"Hello, Mr. Lai!"

"Hello, Mr. Lai!"

When the two of them saw the small man who looked like an engineer sitting on the sofa, they couldn't help but stepped forward to shake hands politely.

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

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

"Now all that's left is to measure your feet."

They didn't make many modifications in terms of comfort, but they added some technology to the designs of Kobe 8 and Irving 5, because these two pairs of shoes are simple, good-looking, light and handsome, and Nike's marketing is the reason why they are so popular.

.

But in fact, I can’t compliment the materials. The crystal soles of Kobe Bryant’s boots have always only been able to play in the infield, while the feedback from the rear sole of Irving 5 has never been good, being too hard.

Therefore, Lai Shixian and Li Ning designer Ma Xun made internal technological modifications. The entire upper of these two pairs of shoes has 90% mesh material coverage to create a snug fit, extreme lightness and 360-degree all-round breathability.

, Owen V's rear foot plus a thin piece of Anta's patented air cushion relieves the pressure on the rear heel, and also provides all the flexibility needed for foot flexion.

Jiang Chao also lamented that this piece of shit like Nike can really cut corners and will never give up.

This small air cushion has no feeling for Irving. It is impossible for them to rely on the air cushion to provide support after landing. It is better to have a hard bottom carbon plate to maintain stability.

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

Not to mention the eighth generation of Kobe Bryant.

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 these two people came, they may give more to the public than the design of star models. It is not just the basketball shoe market that really makes big money, the public is the main force in the market.

Lai Shixian said that Jiang Chao has long been regarded as a god by the people at Chaoshen Sports. They naturally know that Jiang Chao has ideas for running shoes and women's shoes. This is to compete with the Air Force One and Converse market. According to Ma Xun's

It is said that as long as one of Jiang Chao's shoes becomes a hit, he will definitely be the godfather of basketball shoes in China.

Look at the current domestic market, which is crazy about connecting with foreign trends. Who is making this kind of national trend of horseshoe heels?

The four people who saw the design drawings again were still in awe, especially after comparing it with Adidas Nike. Let's not say how awesome it is. It can only be said that such a small company has such an awesome design team in its initial stage.

, and there is such an awesome "one of our own" boss, it would be impossible if I didn't sign.

Looking at their expressions, Jiang Chao felt a little proud. Curry and Harden begged to queue up to choose the shoes he designed.

If this was reported by the media, who would dare to criticize a layman?

Am I not worthy of starting a company?

Then don’t wear the shoes I designed!

The most critical step after establishing the company is finally coming. Coha is the stepping stone for Chaoshen Sports to become famous, and will also be the main force that will make Chaoshen Sports' first pot of gold.

"Sign it, I have no choice but to refuse."

Harden's heart was first excited and his hands were trembling. He was determined to be the top coach.

After struggling, Curry took a step back and chose the design style of the eighth generation of Kobe Bryant 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 ball. Made by Jiang Chaozhi, Curry has already thought about it.

I will be soft on the royalties.

The most important thing is.

No rookie can refuse to have his own signature sneakers when he first enters the league, and he can also get an endorsement contract worth tens of millions!

"Flow you heart, as long as you like it."

Austin didn't say anything more. In the past few days, Nike has gone from feeling aggrieved to gloating about their misfortune. Everything seems to be pushing them towards the beginning of their fate with Super Sports.

Harden's agent said that he has visited the Super God Sports headquarters. Although the shoes are not available, Anta's factory is real, and Jiang Chao's guarantee as the boss cannot be a blank check. The shoes will be available soon.

available to the public.

Jiang Supernatural didn't do any ink, so he signaled Liu Yan to ask Lao Lu to print out the contract and bring it over immediately.

Lai Shixian was quite surprised by the reaction of the two rookies. Why did the boss like these three shoes so much? Why sign for these three shoes before they are even released? It is unimaginable from a Chinese perspective, but Jiang Chao has a ball

Team, he can't cheat.

He actually didn't know that Jiang Chao's three pairs of shoes were all special. First of all, they were all defender shoes. What was surprising was that Harden would choose the high-top Yushuai shoes. It seems that he likes this kind of heavy sword without edge.

It is possible that the concept of China attracted him.

Needless to say, the eighth generation of Kobe Bryant was the shoe that Curry had been wearing before signing with Under Armor. What Jiang Chao thought was that Kobe Bryant had not changed much in each subsequent generation. Everyone knows how Nike operates, basically just changing a few details.

Changing the color scheme is considered an upgrade.

The eighth generation of Kobe's sneakers is the pinnacle of Kobe's sneaker series, and it is also the most popular model. Jiang Chao regards this as the Curry generation and wants to set a benchmark in one generation, and it will be a hit.

If the first generation doesn’t make a name for itself, which generation will succeed? What they want is to be a blockbuster!

In later generations, Nike has an 8-year-old and a 10-year-old Zhan. How much blood has it sucked from the Chinese people? They are all making money anyway, so why not let Jiang Chao make the money!

Lao Lu arrived with the contract, and the two agents looked at it carefully. Lao Lu's identity and professionalism left them with no doubts.

Curry and Harden both patiently read the details of their contracts.

In addition to endorsement fees, there are also bonuses. For example, if you win the Slam Dunk Contest, which can put your sneakers on major media posters, you can directly receive a bonus of 100,000 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 could tell by looking at Curry's expression what he was thinking, and Golden State LaVine was thinking about flying dunks from the free throw line.

There are very few other bonuses. The most is a reward of 1,000 US dollars for every deduction, because these are photo materials that can make the sneakers appear on high-definition posters with the players. Even if we no longer cooperate with this shoe factory in the future, the poster image will never be lost.

spread.

Then there are the fines required for violations.

For example, when appearing in public places, sports equipment cannot be worn with other brands' clothing. It doesn't matter if you wear formal women's clothing or something, but you cannot wear other brands' sports brands, including backpacks. Chaoshen Sports Club provides them all.

Then there are the basics: NBA games and post-game press conferences must wear sneakers that are awesome, and you must post a photo of your sneakers on social media once a month.

New product posters must be shot for super new product launches, and TV commercials are shot once 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.

It’s not easy to get tens of millions of dollars in endorsement fees, so you must fulfill your responsibility as a conscientious spokesperson.

"Super sports will surely rise!"

Lai Shixian had seen the contract signed by Anta, which was not so detailed at all. So many regulations made him sigh at the professionalism of Jiang Chao's Lao Lu. When they were looking at the contract, Jiang Chao and Lai Shixian talked about casual shoes and asked him to

Be calm and remind me 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 was also a new recruit. If he had to face this kind of situation, he was a little afraid of society and still couldn't adapt. Mainly because Jiang Chao's aura and some of the things he saw were too awesome.

Jiang Chao talked a little about the Coconut Project. Adidas' boost has not yet been released. He has asked Ding Shizhong to research the boost technology as soon as possible. This is the super midsole material technology of Adidas that will be as powerful as Nike in the future, and he also knows this

The concept of boost.

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

"White coconut, black coconut, green coconut and blue coconut, this is what can really be sold with value."

"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 Boost has not been released, Coconut has not yet been released. This is a shoe that became popular after Kanye and Adidas collaborated. It is also a pair of sneakers that almost all celebrities wear, which completely made Adidas popular around the world.

Lai Shixian's blood boiled when he heard this. He looked much more powerful than his eldest brother Mr. Ding when he was young.

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

What is lacking is awesome shoes. With this kind of design concept, even if the trial in the market fails, I guess the boss will still have new ideas.

"This coconut concept will be our future mass casual shoe concept, and Curry and Harden will be the first to endorse it for the time being."

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

"Yes... I actually think our finances are suitable for shooting sneaker posters."

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

"Yes, I will develop the coconut series as soon as possible. I feel that these soft elastic casual shoes should be very comfortable and young people will like them."

"Well, I'll develop it first. After I create more stars, these shoes will be a big hit."

"ok!"

Lai Shixian liked this feeling of starting a business so much that he was already looking forward to the results of Jiang Chao's idea.

Later, Curry understood them when they spoke English. He seemed to have to design ordinary casual shoes by himself. This boss is so awesome. This is okay??

So next he seemed to be reading the contract, but in fact he was looking at ten lines and just wanted to sign it.

"Liu Yan, ask Mr. Yang to send a few reporters over to give them first-hand news."

"Okay." Liu Yan has been looking at her legs. She is going to compete with Jiang Shuying to see whose legs are longer. She is invincible if she wears sports shoes with long legs.

10 minutes later.

Witnessed by several photographers and editors from Super God Forum and International Pioneer Newspaper, Jiang Chao, Curry, Harden and Lai Shixian signed and shook hands with each other.

The New York Geminis of 2009 also officially became the Super Geminis!!

Five years, 50 million, signed endorsement contract!

"International Pioneer" released first-hand news:

“This day will definitely go down in sneaker history!

James Harden and Stephen Curry signed contracts with Super God Sports!!”

A moderator of the Super God Forum responded to this message:

"You may think this is a lie, but I hope this post will remain so that we can do another round of archaeology in five years!"

“Boss Jiang Chao’s business giant is slowly running over the American sports circle!!”
