Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 618: Untiring Destruction

With sufficient funds, the crew is naturally less shabby in terms of props. At least the costumes have been replaced by UNIQLO from street stalls, and Mazda has been replaced by Porsche.

The production has also become more sophisticated, such as makeup, scenery, scenes, etc., which have all been greatly improved compared to the original.

The result is that F4’s idol aura is more abundant!

In late April, "Meteor Garden" was broadcast on China Television, instantly setting off a craze on the other side of the country.

However, this craze is only fermenting locally for the time being and has not spread to other parts of Asia. Therefore, Li Weidong has not launched a supporting brand promotion plan.

A few months later, when "Meteor Garden" has set off a craze in other parts of Asia, it will be the time for Puppy Electric to start to show its strength. The ads for Puppy Electric, endorsed by F4, will also have to wait until then to be released.

People who haven’t experienced that era probably don’t know how popular “Meteor Garden” is.

However, this TV series has been remade six times in 20 years, which is enough to show the popularity of "Meteor Garden".

Apart from "Meteor Garden", only Mr. Jin Yong can do it in six remakes in 20 years. For example, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon", there have been probably a lot of remakes in the past twenty years.

Six editions. The other two popular movies "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" are probably less than six editions.

Moreover, Mr. Jin Yong’s works are mainly remade in three places across the Taiwan Strait, which only affects the Chinese community. But "Meteor Garden" was remade in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other countries, and its influence abroad is even greater.

…

At the same time, the American NBA also ended its season.

The Lakers have won the championship trophy for two consecutive years. As for the Lakers' opponent this year, the Philadelphia 76ers, it was an honor to lose.

Kobe's strength is stronger than last year, and the KO combination's use of the triangle offense is also more mature. This year's Lakers entered the playoffs and advanced to the finals with a complete victory record.

The Philadelphia 76ers relied on Iverson to lead the team to the Finals, which can be called great. However, when facing the powerful Lakers, Iverson directly gave the Lakers a powerful blow.

In the first game of the Finals, he scored 48 points and led his team to defeat the Lakers.

Although the 76ers lost all of the next four games, Iverson undoubtedly ranked among the superstars.

Kobe's performance was also very impressive. In the playoffs, he averaged 29.4 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game, which also showed the level of a superstar.

The other three players signed by Feiyue Sports also performed very well.

This year, Carter averaged 27.6 points per game in the regular season and once again entered the All-Star Game as the top vote-getter, which shows that his popularity is still booming.

In the playoffs, Carter led the team to the Eastern Conference semifinals. In the semifinals, they met the 76ers led by Iverson. In the end, they fought seven games and were eliminated because they missed the buzzer beater. In this series, Ivers

Both Sen and Carter have scored 50 points in a single game.

Second-year Ci Shiping's statistics are similar to last season, but he has successfully secured his position as the team's starting lineup.

Chicago is a big city, and because of Jordan, the basketball market in Chicago is very large. Ci Shiping has secured his position as the main force of the Bulls, and his popularity has also increased.

The one who has made the most obvious progress is Tracy McGrady.

After last season, McGrady left the Raptors and joined the Magic, and then naturally became the core of the Magic.

As the core of the team, Tracy McGrady finally showed off his powerful offensive ability. This season, Tracy McGrady's scoring average soared from 15.4 points to 26.8 points. He was successfully selected as an All-Star.

At this time, Tracy McGrady was less than 21 years old, and before the age of 21, there were only two players who could average 26 points per game, one was Jordan and the other was O'Neal.

Many people in later generations will regard Tracy McGrady as the most talented among the four shooting guards, which makes sense. To be able to produce such perfect data at such a young age is truly full of talent and has an unlimited future!

The outstanding performance of the four endorsed players has also made Feiyue Sports soar. In the first quarter of 2001, Feiyue's basketball shoe sales have jumped to fifth place in the United States, second only to Nike, Adidas, Reebok and Converse. It has become an American sports brand.

The rising star of the brand.

…

At Nike's headquarters, an assistant handed the latest scouting report to Dyson.

"There should be very good young people this year, right? I still remember that this year's March Madness game was very exciting, and many of those young people should participate in this year's NBA draft!" Dyson said.

"Yes." The assistant nodded and continued, "Duke University's Sean Battier and Michigan State University's Jason Richardson have both signed up for this year's NBA draft."

"Richardson? I am very impressed by him. He is an outstanding player." Dyson nodded and continued:

"As for Sean Battier, Duke University's game against Maryland this year was simply the greatest comeback in NCAA history, thanks to Battier's several key three-pointers.

It's a pity that he is already a senior player, so he is a bit old after all. If he were a freshman player and could perform like this, he would probably become a popular candidate for the No. 1 pick."

The assistant replied: "This year's top picks are all big men, three Americans and one Spaniard."

"Is the Spaniard you are talking about Pau Gasol, who just won the La Liga championship? Our European branch has been paying attention to this young man for a long time, and has also given him an endorsement contract. I heard that there are already players in the NBA.

The team is very interested in him."

Dyson paused and then said, "But this year's No. 1 pick belongs to the Wizards. The Wizards have handed over the management of the team to Jordan. Based on my understanding of Jordan, he will not choose a foreign player as the No. 1 pick.

."

At this time, Jordan had already purchased 5% of the Wizards' equity for US$20 million and became the Wizards' minority owner. Moreover, the Wizards' big boss also handed over the management of the team to Jordan.

Jordan spent his days sitting in his office drinking coffee, smoking cigars, or watching his team play in the team box.

However, the Wizards' performance was too dismal, which made the ball market also extremely dismal. Coupled with other reasons, it eventually led to Jordan's comeback again.

Because of Jordan's comeback, the Wizards went from being the bleakest market in the NBA to the hottest market in the NBA instantly. Even when playing away games, many fans cheered for the Wizards.

According to NBA regulations, active players cannot hold shares in the team, so before Jordan came back, he sold his shares to the Wizards' boss and agreed to buy them back at the original price after he retired.

As a result, when Jordan retired again, the owner of the Wizards decided to sell his shares to Jordan. At this time, the Wizards' market had picked up a lot because of Jordan. A retired Jordan had no value in the eyes of the Wizards owner.

Just refuse the bill directly.

This incident made Jordan very angry. Fortunately, the NBA immediately expanded its ranks and Jordan also had his own team, the Charlotte Bobcats.

Nike and Jordan have cooperated for nearly 20 years. As one of the earliest employees of Nike, Dyson has been dealing with Jordan for 20 years. He also has a certain understanding of Jordan and knows that if Jordan has the No. 1 pick, he will definitely not

A non-American player will be selected.

If the Wizards had chosen Gasol in 2001, perhaps after Jordan came back again, the Wizards would have had a chance to compete for the Eastern Conference championship even if they could not win the championship.

Dyson then asked: "Who are those three big American men?"

"Do you know the 'Three Treasures of High School'?" the assistant then explained: "They are Eddie Curry from Illinois, Tyson Chandler from California, and Kwame Brown from South Carolina!

"

"You mean, the three high school students who are most likely to compete for the No. 1 pick this year are the three high school students?" Dyson showed a surprised expression.

"Yes, sir." The assistant continued: "Although they are only high school students, their strength has been recognized by many scouts, and in recent years, there have been several high school players who have become all-star players, so there will be

I have high hopes for them.”

"The scouting reports of these three high school students are also in it, right?" Dyson asked.

"Yes, that's the first three copies." Zhu Li replied.

Dyson immediately opened the scouting report and read it.

The NCAA college basketball league in the United States is very popular, and many college basketball stars are also well-known figures in the United States.

However, each state organizes its own high school leagues. Stars in high school leagues often only have a certain degree of popularity in their own state, and no one knows them outside their own state.

So Dyson doesn't know much about the so-called "Three Treasures of High School".

Eddie Curry was hailed as O'Neal's successor when he was in high school. He was very strong and played in the high school league. Just like O'Neal did in the NBA, he was unstoppable as long as he entered the paint.

.

However, Eddie Curry was ruined by lack of self-discipline. After he entered the NBA, he only played well for two or three years before he began to indulge in his weight. Being too fat affected his physical fitness and caused him injuries.

, in the end he couldn't survive in the NBA and had no choice but to play in the CBA.

Compared with Eddie Curry, Tyson Chandler is a player that fans are more familiar with. Chandler in high school was six centimeters shorter than later generations, and his body was also a little thin. He looked like a

Thin bamboo pole.

But at that time, Chandler was better in terms of pace, running and body flexibility, and his shooting touch was very soft. After entering the NBA, he probably trained himself into a muscular man in order to have better physical confrontation.

.

As for Kwame Brown, who was later called the "parallel import number one pick", he was a god-like presence on the court in high school.

At this time, Kwame Brown was taller than Tyson Chandler and stronger than Eddie Curry. Moreover, his skills were very good and he could attack inside and outside.

His shooting, jumping, and speed are all top-notch. He can even dribble and make fast breaks like a guard. He also has very good passing ability and is not afraid of being double-teamed. At the same time, due to his height and long arms, he has a large defensive area and is a top shot blocker.

.

At that time, the scouts' evaluations of Kwame Brown were also unanimously positive. Except for his average post-up ability and immature offensive and defensive timing, everything else was almost full marks. For high school players, the post-up ability and

The timing of attack and defense can all be improved with age.

In terms of player templates, the lower limit given at that time for Kwame Brown was Garnett, and the upper limit was a combination of Malone and Webber.

The combination of Malone and Webber is scary to think about!

With such a high evaluation, it is no wonder that Jordan was deceived and chose Kwame Brown as the No. 1 pick.

Dyson read Kwame Brown's scouting report and also showed a surprised expression.

"Is there such a perfect player? And he is also a big man in the post. This guy has a great chance of becoming the No. 1 pick! Unfortunately, sneakers of post players are often not as popular as those of outside players. But for a top post player,

Being a brand spokesperson is also very helpful in improving the brand.”

Dyson pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "Is there any news over at Feiyue Sports? Have they signed another 'Ten Million Boy'?"

"I haven't heard any news in this regard so far." Zhu Li said.

"Feiyue Sports has grown rapidly in recent years, and this has a lot to do with the brand spokespersons they signed. Kobe won the championship again this year, and he is now considered a superstar; Carter is the All-Star vote leader, and

America's most popular football star.

Tracy McGrady has also had a big breakout this year. If he can continue to maintain this data, there will be another superstar in the NBA, and Artest also seems to have star potential.

Signing rookie players by sports brands is like betting in Las Vegas. Since it is a bet, it means that the bet will win less and the bet will not win more. However, Feiyue Sports has hit the mark every time, and it has paid off every time.

Hit the jackpot!

I have to say that they have a unique vision when it comes to selecting rookies, so we have to keep an eye on Feiyue Sports' actions to see which rookie they plan to sign, and then we can directly intercept them, and maybe we can get a future player.

Superstar!"

…

Li Weidong also flew to the United States in person. He hoped to invite Kobe to go to China in the summer to attend the opening ceremony of Feiyue's flagship store in China and conduct several brand promotion activities by the way.

After rapid development in recent years, Feiyue Sports' expansion in the United States has also encountered bottlenecks.

Now standing in the way of Feiyue Sports are the four giant sports brands of Nike, Adidas, Reebok and Converse. If Feiyue Sports wants to surpass its previous competitors, it will need more time to accumulate brands.

Since the development in the United States has encountered a lull, Li Weidong decided to simply switch from export to domestic sales and open up business in the Chinese market.

China's economy is about to enter a period of rapid growth, and with the increase in people's incomes, sports brands have also entered a period of rapid growth. In the past few years, Chinese companies that were OEMs have begun to build their own brands, and sportswear brands are all over the streets.

There are as many brand stores as there are pharmacies today.

Li Weidong naturally cannot miss this wave of dividends. He wants to bring Feiyue Sports back to China and seize the domestic market.

At this time, the effects of these brand spokespersons signed by Li Weidong were obvious.

In this era, domestic sports brands have not yet evolved to the stage of signing NBA stars. If Li Weidong can invite Kobe Bryant to China, he will definitely make Feiyue Sports a blockbuster.

James Bond submitted two pieces of information to Li Weidong, one was the financial report of Feiyue Sports last quarter, and the other was the scouting report of some of this year's rookies.

"This year's rookies are also full of talents!" Li Weidong flipped through the scouting report and saw many familiar names.

"The quality of this year's rookies is indeed much higher than last year." James Bond then asked; "Boss, who are you more optimistic about?"

"If I were asked to pick the top pick, I would choose one from Spain's Pau Gasol and France's Tony Parker." Li Weidong said with a smile.

"They are not American players. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to become the number one pick." James Bond said.

"Yes, and they are already famous stars in Europe. They have already signed endorsement contracts with sports brands. It should not be our turn." Li Weidong replied.

James Bond said: "Boss, I heard a rumor recently that Nike has been watching us."

"Nike? Have we offended them recently?" Li Weidong asked subconsciously.

"It's because the brand spokespersons we have chosen in recent years have been very successful, so Nike is secretly watching us and they want to intercept us directly." James Bond then added: "Not only Nike, but also other sports

Brands also have this idea.”

"These people really want to take advantage of it! That's just right, let's take this opportunity to teach them a lesson! Let them know that getting something for nothing is wrong."

Li Weidong took out Kwame Brown's draft report and then said: "Go and contact this person Kwame Brown! Remember to praise him as hard as you can."

"How do you praise me?" James Bond asked subconsciously.

"For example, he is as strong as Karl Malone, has the solid skills of Larry Bird, is as comprehensive as Chris Webber, has the organizational ability of Jason Kidd, and is as calm and mature as Tim Duncan.

He has the same leadership qualities as Michael Jordan." Li Weidong talked eloquently.

After hearing this, James Bond couldn't help rolling his eyes.
