Two days later, Professor Ding Huaizhong called, he had returned to Stanford University, and Liu Lang, Lin Guodong and Sun Hu immediately left.

Los Angeles to Stanford University is only six or seven hundred kilometers, and the distance from Fucheng to the capital is about the same, if you take a train from Fucheng to the capital it takes at least a day, but the United States has developed transportation, and it takes less than an hour to arrive by plane.

The plane landed, Liu Lang and the three of them got off the plane and walked into the station, and they saw a middle-aged man not far away beckoning to Liu Lang, this person was sturdy and wore a pair of sunglasses on his face, but when he saw Liu Lang, he took off his sunglasses.

Lin Guodong and Sun Hu don't know these two people, of course Liu Lang knows, it is Phil Knight, the chairman of Nike.

Nike's headquarters are located in Silicon Valley, and Knight, the chairman, was also a graduate of Stanford University's graduate school of business twenty years ago.

Liu Lang walked over with Lin Guodong and Sun Hu.

"Phil, long time no see!"

Liu Lang took the initiative to say hello.

"Lang, I haven't seen you for more than a year, but you've grown a lot taller, if I see you on the elementary school campus, I'm afraid I won't dare to recognize you!"

Nate greeted Liu Lang affectionately.

"Phil, how is the company doing? Sales aren't bad, right?"

Liu Lang asked.

"Very good, very good, the first quarter annual report has just come out, the third "Flying Generation" sales reached 900,000 pairs, the "reincarnation" one sold 1 million pairs, but the sales of the "different" shoes continued to rise, reaching 1.3 million pairs in the first quarter of this year alone.

In other words, the total sales of these three shoes you designed have reached 3 million pairs in three months, the sales have reached 120 million US dollars, and the profit has exceeded 20 million.

Liu Lang and Nike have a gambling agreement, if the profit increases seven times within five years, Liu Lang can get 11% of the shares, this year is the third year, the first quarter has reached twice that of eighty-three years, and if it continues like this, next year will reach the target one year ahead of schedule, and then Knight will "lose", but look at his expression is not frustrated at all.

Of course, in just over a year, Nike has risen from a second-rate company to a hot sneaker manufacturer in the United States, and the market value of its stock price has more than doubled since the beginning of last year.

"Oh, how is the Trapeze generation the least selling?"

Now Liu Lang has designed five shoes, three of which have come out, and the remaining two are still in manufacturing, Liu Lang's plan is to take Jordan as the core sports brand, and also gave Jordan a nickname "Flying Man".

Of course, this nickname was exclusive to Jordan in his previous life, but it was gradually popularized after a few years, and now Liu Lang directly crowned this nickname on Jordan's head, which can be regarded as "crowned" in advance.

"You little guy is not only imaginative, but also has a strong ability to recognize people, that Michael Jordan is really very capable, jumping up can touch the ceiling of the basketball arena, just entered the NBA for more than a year has attracted a lot of fans, you are still very correct in the strategy of creating a series of flying shoes for him.

However, this Jordan was injured at the beginning of the season, recuperated for four months, and only returned to the court last month, so his flying series did not achieve better results.

However, even if he can play a full season, I'm afraid the Flyer series will not be stronger than that pair, that commercial is really good, and it also won the American Advertising Man Award, if you don't participate, I will attend the award ceremony on your behalf!"

That distinctive advertisement won the National Advertising Man Award Liu Lang knows, he was in Shanghai at that time with everyone to tackle chips, where will he go to the United States to receive the award?

However, he forgot about Jordan's injury, thinking about his second season in his previous life, he was also injured, and he raised for most of the season, and he has not suffered a major injury since then.

"Liu Lang, can this Jordan succeed? Don't be a sick man? If that's the case, we'll lose!"

Nike and Jordan signed a seven-year contract, worth tens of millions of dollars, this is Nike's biggest endorsement for so many years, if Jordan can't play, then Nike will lose a lot.

"Don't worry, this Jordan is in good health, sooner or later he will become the first person in the league, the problem now is that the NBA's influence in the United States is not good, far less than football and baseball, and even ice hockey has to be overwhelmed by basketball, the influence of the league can't be improved, no matter how strong Jordan is, so it depends on Stern's means!"

In fact, Liu Lang is talking nonsense, the NBA league will inevitably become the No. 1 sports league in the United States under the leadership of Stern, but only he knows this result.

In fact, last year, Stern did nothing, that is, vigorously rectify the stadium and players, that is really an iron-fisted policy, whoever violates the rules will be banned and leaved, the atmosphere of the stadium has changed dramatically in a year, but this is only its own problem, to become the No. 1 sports league in the United States, and even the whole world is crazy about the event There is still a long way to go.

"Liu Lang, you're right, I had contact with Stern last year, and I talked to him a lot about the future of the league, his idea is to create the league's brand through the star policy, which selected a few people, including "Magic" Johnson, "Big Bird" Bird, "Dr. J" Irving, but these people belong to the older generation of players, and the league needs a younger generation of players, such as Jordan, Barkley, Olajuwon, Drexler, Ewing and others.

Among these people, Jordan is the leader, and Stern has set out to make Jordan an iconic figure in the league, which coincides with our strategy, so we also have to cooperate with the league Jordan to launch it, and take this opportunity to build our company into the No. 1 brand of basketball sneakers!"

Knight didn't know much about the NBA a year ago, but now he knows every team and every star inside and out.

"Liu Lang, we only signed one Jordan, I don't think it's enough, Adi and Puma are all star-studded, we have to find a few stars to strengthen our strength, do you have any suggestions?"

Knight asked.

"Jordan's future accomplishments are more than the sum of all others...... But you have a point, that Barkley I think is not bad, he has great physical fitness, and if Jordan plays like a flyer, then he plays like a tank, rampage on the court.

In addition, the Trail Blazers' Drexler has a similar style of play to Jordan, with very good bounce and can be signed. ”

The NBA eight-four draft is known as the golden generation, Liu Lang is very familiar with the players of this year, especially Jordan and Barkley's "Humpty Dumpty", both of whom are full of passion, Jordan is the kind of flying around and high in the style of play, the opponent can only look up in front of him, Barkley is relying on his strong physique to charge like a fierce general, even if the last drop of blood is left, he has to stand and die.

"Wow, Liu Lang, you also have NBA games in China, how do you know the players so well?"

Knight was curious.

"I watched some NBA games the other day and a lot of players remembered them......... Okay, I'll talk about this later, I'll introduce you to my friend first, this is Lin Guodong, the general manager of my American branch, and this is Sun Hu, my old friend!"

The two talked for a long time, and Liu Lang forgot to introduce Sun Hu and Lin Guodong.
