Chapter 281 Yao Ming's Quotes
Injuring Jordan is indeed a serious matter, after all, this is Michael Jordan!
Especially now, with Jordan on the verge of making his comeback, that would be too bad.
In case it affects Jordan's comeback, Artest is a sinner in the eyes of many people.
There is no need for Jordan to speak. It is estimated that Artest will be overwhelmed by the saliva of countless media and fans.
Fortunately, Artest is not the kind of person who mourns the spring and autumn, and his character is still a bit carefree.
The worry was only temporary, especially after Wang Hao invited him to a big meal, the guy recovered instantly.
This is also a good thing.
After eating a breakup meal, the two went their separate ways. It is estimated that there will be fewer gatherings like this in the future.
After all, Artest was just a college student before, and even if he had a family, he rarely took responsibility.
However, his children are now 2 years old.
That's right, Artest had his first son when he was just 20 years old, before he even entered the NBA.
Wang Hao felt that his emotions seemed to fluctuate a little, which was not a good thing, and he needed to be comforted by his soul.
Ever since, instead of returning to Seattle, he went to Los Angeles to comfort him.
Yes, he found Anne Hathaway.
Now, with the release of the first movie, and the results are still very good, Anne Hathaway can be considered a little famous.
As a big star, you still have to be famous, so that you can have a strong sense of substitution and excitement.
Moreover, it was Wang Hao who encouraged Anne Hathaway to fight for it when he was able to shoot this movie.
Anne Hathaway subconsciously believed that it was Wang Hao who helped her make the decision, an extremely correct decision.
"Thank you, king!"
"Thank you, you can't just say it, you have to take action."
I don't know what Wang Hao whispered in Anne Hathaway's ear, but Anne Hathaway rolled her eyes like silk.
... (no numbers omitted here)
An hour later, Wang Hao's words were comforted.
Such a day lasted for a whole week, and the two of them could be said to meet opponents in chess and meet good talents.
The reason why this is over is mainly because I have to work!
With the popularity of the movie, Anne Hathaway is now considered a little famous, so commercial activities are naturally indispensable.
To put it bluntly, it is not only the actors who need the money, but the brokerage company also needs the money.
What's more, in Hollywood, the competitiveness is not as easy as in the NBA. You have to compete for everything.
Having a good work doesn't mean everything will be fine, and we have to fight for the next good work.
"I don't know if I can continue next time!"
Seeing the figure of Anne Hathaway leaving, Wang Hao sighed a little, and still had some aftertaste.
The reason for saying whether there will be a next time is obvious!
That's Hollywood, a whole stinky gutter, originally only two feet fell down, but now the whole thing is about to fall down.
Anne Hathaway doesn't mind, but Wang Hao does too!
But it doesn't matter, anyway, everyone gets what they need. The title of NBA star girlfriend is still very attractive.
Anne Hathaway walked gracefully, Wang Hao did not procrastinate, and left very simply.
Of course, he didn't go anywhere, just in Los Angeles. As an NBA star, he has a lot of business activities every year.
Because of the Asian Championships and Jordan's training camp, it has been delayed until now, and there is no way to delay it any longer.
Realistic Los Angeles, New York and many other major American cities, and then went to Europe.
Wang Hao didn't expect that he was also famous in Europe. Isn't this place only playing football?
Of course, going to Europe was just a matter of course, and his main destination was actually Asia.
From Southeast Asia, to Xiangjiang, to Wanwan, Japan, South Korea, and finally China.
In the previous NBA games and this year's Asian Championships, Wang Hao has completely shown his face in front of Asian fans.
Wherever he went, countless fans flocked to him, and the products he endorsed also had excellent sales.
Especially the scene of huge crowds of people, even the local department had to cooperate with the arrangement of security.
To be honest, this scene frightened Jeff Schwartz and his group of agents a little, and it also surprised the endorsers.
At this moment, the endorsement dealers feel regretful, because most of the contracts they signed with Wang Hao are two-to-three-year contracts.
In other words, the contract is about to expire, and even part of the contract has already expired.
What to do then?
Renew the contract quickly, renew the contract at any cost.
As for those companies that did not sign Wang Hao, such as Pepsi and Adidas.
At this time, olive branches came one after another, and some of them appeared the next day even though they were separated by oceans.
Wang Hao doesn't care about these lip-smacking matters, and Jeff Schwartz is responsible for everything.
As for Jeff Schwartz, he once again reduced the brokerage commission with Wang Hao.
For Jeff Schwartz, everything about Wang Hao today comes from himself, not from his agent.
It can be said that as long as Wang Hao is willing, he can change his agent at any time, and nothing will change.
Instead, Jeff Schwartz, as Wang Hao's agent, not only opened up the basketball agent market, but also accumulated a lot of contacts.
In this case, how could Jeff Schwartz be ignorant.
Although these broker commissions are nothing, they represent an attitude, and Wang Hao is still very satisfied.
Nike took the lead and offered a 4-year contract of 4500 million yuan, an endorsement contract with an annual salary of tens of millions.
To be honest, Wang Hao was actually a little dissatisfied.
Because after two years, Nike is willing to give James a seven-year contract of 7 million, which is a bit low in comparison.
Moreover, Nike is only willing to sign a contract for 4 years, and it is clear that they want to take another look.
Although Wang Hao also wanted to sign a short-term contract, preferably no more than five years, it was still uncomfortable.
To put it bluntly, Nike is worried that Wang Hao is just a flash in the pan, or that there is a possibility of injury.
However, in the end Nike promised that if possible, they would support Wang Hao to win the award.
Although this is just a simple verbal promise, it can already be seen that Nike can indeed affect the selection of NBA awards.
In addition, Wang Hao also won the signature sneakers, as well as the sales share of the signature sneakers.
There are also a series of products such as Coca-Cola and Gatorade, and they have also completed contract renewals with Wang Hao.
Not only that, in addition to the previous 6 endorsement products, the number of endorsement by Wang Hao has further expanded.
It's just that Wang Hao has consciously controlled it. Some endorsed products, no matter how high the price, cannot be endorsed.
For example, domestic health care products, as well as medicines from the United States, Wang Hao would never touch.
For each endorsed product, Wang Hao will let a professional team review it to ensure that there will be no problems.
He didn't want to be pointed at and scolded for making some money.
As these contracts are finalized for renewal, major companies have also issued announcements in order to attract attention.
In fact, not only the media, but fans also paid a lot of attention.
Because these big-eyed contracts are roughly calculated, Wang Hao’s annual income exceeds 3000 million U.S. dollars just from commercial endorsements.
Countless people preach that this is the American Dream!
What kind of bullshit American dream, isn't it the dollar dream.
Not only that, in order to avoid tax reasonably, Wang Hao simply set up another company to manage his commercial endorsements.
It's like a star's personal studio.
All over the world, wages are heavily taxed, which is the so-called personal income tax.
But for companies, that is, business tax, the proportion of tax revenue is very small.
Even, some places even offered various preferential measures in order to attract investment.
Not to mention tax relief, it even pays you back.
Otherwise, why do the major shareholders and founders of major companies have a salary of 1 yuan?
To put it bluntly, I just don’t want to pay taxes!
Wang Hao is not that noble, of course he is following the trend, not to mention, there is no need to increase taxes for Laomei!
……
While the American media was frantically reporting and advocating, the NBA headquarters in New York.
At this time, David Stern was looking at the newspaper in his hand, with a little joy on his brows.
"Rod, have you seen it? As I said, the future of the NBA lies in the international market, in Asia.
This time, Wang fully proved that the Asian market has great potential, which is left for the NBA to develop. "
Sitting in front of David Stern was Rod Thorn, vice president of NBA business operations.
That's right, it's not just Wang Hao's agent team and those endorsers who participated in these Asian tours.
There is also the business operations department of the NBA, who are also investigating the NBA market in Asia.
Even, they are already considering withdrawing from the Asian tour of NBA stars, and let NBA stars do activities every year.
Raise the importance of Asia to that of Europe.
More than that, the NBA is already preparing to conduct more overseas preseason games. In addition to Europe, Asia should also pay attention.
"Yes, David, you are right."
Regarding the judgment of the Asian market, especially the Chinese market, even Rod Thorne has to admit that David Stern has an excellent vision.
"Lars, you are here too, okay, you all have a look!"
Finally, another vice president of the NBA, Russ Granik, also appeared in the president's office.
Although there are only three people, these three people can largely determine the direction of the NBA.
Not to mention, David Stern alone actually controls the NBA completely.
"Who is this? Asian?"
"I know this guy, he seems to be from Huaxia, just like Wang, right?"
……
Rodthorne and Russ Granik gave different answers, Russ Granik explained.
"This is a very good international player from China, and he will also participate in the NBA next year.
Moreover, his strength is very good, he once beat Tyson Chandler in a training match. "
David Stern said: "Lars is right, this is Yao Ming, that's how it should be called, that's right.
His strength is very good, and he is 226 cm tall, and he is also very flexible, he is simply a talent born for basketball. "
David Stern is full of praise for a person, that can only explain one problem, this person can bring benefits to the NBA.
This is true of Magic Johnson, so is Michael Jordan, and so is future James.
"So, David, what do you mean?"
"I heard that there will be no outstanding players next year, right? What about Yao? Can he become the No. [-] pick?"
Rodthorne said quickly: "Oh, David, you are crazy, this is a Chinese, how could he become the champion?"
David Stern said calmly, "What about the king?"
Speaking of Wang Hao, Rhodes Thorne was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "That's also because Wang studied basketball in the United States."
David Stern shook his head and said, "Wang has already proved that Chinese people can also become the top stars in the NBA, so another No. [-] pick is also allowed."
Rodthorne didn't know how to tell.
Rasgranik said: "David, I know Yao, he is a very good player.
However, it is not easy for the owners of the NBA to choose a Chinese to become the No. [-] pick. "
David Stern said domineeringly: "Then let the team that is willing to choose Yao get the No. [-] pick."
Hearing this, the two also understood that David Stern had already made a decision, so he did not continue to object.
However, Las Granik said: "I hope this Chinese big man really has the strength to become the No. [-] pick."
"Of course, this is a must, first of all he has to be strong, and then this is possible.
However, in order to let more people know about this Chinese big man, our media must also take action. "
Rhodes Thorne also asked: "You are so optimistic about China's market, one king is not enough?"
"Of course, you saw it too."
"Okay, I'll do my best."
……
In the original time and space, Yao Ming's selection as the No. [-] pick was indeed something that exceeded most people's expectations.
It's not that Yao Ming doesn't have this strength. In fact, the No. [-] pick in the NBA is never just a factor of strength.
Strength is the foundation, then fame, team performance, and support from local fans, all of which affect the ownership of the No. [-] pick.
Especially when Yao Ming did not participate in the trial training.
You said that at that time, a large number of NBA scouts and reporters traveled thousands of miles to watch Yao Ming's games.
But the question is, how did these scouts know about Yao Ming?
You know, it takes a lot of energy for NBA scouts just to understand the players of the NCAA in the United States.
Not to mention, there are some rising stars in Europe.
Let's put it this way, except for a small number of players, each team actually determines the draft pick during the trial training.
Then, Yao Ming did not participate in the trial training.
As for international competitions, to be honest, Americans probably don't pay much attention to international competitions because of their arrogant personality.
If it weren't for the 2002 World Championships, when the US team fell into the sand, it is estimated that many fans would not care about it.
Therefore, there was such a saying at the time that Mosaic won the No. [-] lottery only because they were willing to choose Yao Ming with the No. [-] lottery.
Of course Wang Hao didn't know about these things, but he did see Yao Ming's name in the news.
Especially when listing next year's rookies, many media gave Yao Ming a very good evaluation.
That's right, this height alone is already at the top in terms of talent.
