Chapter 534: David Stern
August 18......
As soon as Ding arrived in New York, he first went to see the New York flagship store of the weather vane.
In the New York area, the weather vane has already opened two stores, and a third store is also in the pipeline. A New York, second only to Los Angeles and San Francisco, which was first developed, contributes nearly one-tenth of sales in North America.
Because the weather vane only opened stores in big cities in the early days, now there are only about 40 stores, but the average turnover is very high. Especially in megacities like Los Angeles and New York, as well as places with high consumption standards such as the Bay Area, although the opening price of opening a store is high, the profit is also extremely high.
In this time, although the news media promoted Ding Yi, in the trend driven by it, a single store in these places can top some provinces in China with not very good sales.
A fashionable coat is only a few dozen dollars, and the height is only hundreds, which is considered high-end in China in ninety-nine years, and this is not a burden at all for the United States.
After visiting the flagship store and the logistics center in the northeast of the country, Ding Yi and Natasha, who accompanied him, said, "At least five stores in New York, such as Philadelphia, Boston, and the Great Lakes, are also going to speed up." ”
The Atlantic coast in the northeast of the country is definitely the center of the economy of the country, and the Great Lakes Heavy Industry Zone not far away accounts for nearly half of the economy of the country. These are all areas that need to be taken seriously.
Natasha nodded, "Got it." ”
As she spoke, Natasha looked at a few reporters not far away, as if she remembered something, and said with a smile, "If you don't become a spokesperson, with your current popularity, the effect will definitely be good." ”
Speaking of this, Ding Yi immediately remembered a certain vertical e-commerce company that had no sense of crisis and was photographed on the beach, and said with a smile, "What, I am Ding Yi in one scene, and I speak for myself?"
Although fakes were rampant, after bragging, they were slapped in the face by big names one after another, and the whole company almost went bankrupt. But I have to say that this promotion alone is still very successful, and it once became a golden sentence on the Internet, and countless people learned that there was an e-commerce company that sold cosmetics through this sentence.
You have your goddess, I have my DOTA
"I speak for myself?" Natasha repeated, tasting it, and her eyes lit up, "It's a good sentence, it sounds very emotional." ”
What grade is that, Ding received all the compliments, and said with a smile, "That must!"
After that, Natasha began to mumble about it to Ding Yi!
Ding Yi really doesn't mind the matter of being a spokesperson for his own company, and he is not seventy or eighty, nor is he an endorsement for other companies.
In his twenties, in his prime, handsome and golden, young and promising, in this youthful and unscrupulous age, show yourself what's wrong, what's wrong?
Of course, whether the spokesperson is a spokesperson or not, it is all secondary, and Ding Yi is going to the NBA headquarters next.
There, Ding Yi found that the so-called little man Stern is actually not too short, one meter seven is still available, probably because he usually has too much contact with the kind of basketball players who are about two meters, in comparison, it looks very short.
Of course, in the face of Stern, Ding Yi can still look down, his figure of more than one meter and eight meters, it is no problem for his height to explode Iverson.
"Mavericks?" Ding Yi looked at Stern, a little surprised, he didn't have much interest in Mavericks. Although the current Mavericks are much stronger than the Rockets and Warriors, he really doesn't have much interest.
The reason why Ding Yi can know about the live sports website is really because of Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks. Anyway, if you're a sports fan, you still know a little bit about the deeds of the famous NBA owner Cuban.
Especially the sale of 580,000 users for 5.9 billion, which is also the biggest profit of Kuban, and the calf was bought later.
In the process of selling the website to Yahoo before, Ding Yi cooperated very well with Cuban, so Ding Yi made a profit of nearly 500 million US dollars, and it was enough to buy an NBA and a European football team.
Knowing that Cuban is an avid Mavericks fan, Ding Yi will not be loved.
Thinking about it, Ding Yi shook his head to show that he was not interested, and explained with a smile, "I still like the Bay Area, you know that there are more Chinese people over there, and Silicon Valley is a high-tech center, which is more in line with my career in the United States." ”
Stern shrugged his shoulders, the reason why he wanted Ding Yi to buy the Mavericks was because the Mavericks were stronger now and could attract fans more. With Ding Yi's influence, it can better expand the NBA's international market.
As for Ding Yi having his own plans, Stern won't say much, in the face of such a young and promising young rich man, how can his mind be so easy to change.
Thinking about Stern, he said, "No matter which team, if you can negotiate successfully, I'm happy to see it." ”
After some communication, Stern did not have any objection to Ding Yi's idea.
That's easy to do, the rest is just to find the boss of the Warriors and talk about the acquisition, anyway, the current bad appearance of the Warriors is more than 100 million. In the initial contact, the Warriors owner only offered 200 million.
In the face of Stern, Ding Yi said that he would help the NBA develop the Chinese market, and in return, Stern would also help Ding Yi gain a foothold in the NBA within a certain range allowed by the rules after Ding Yi acquired the team.
In fact, Ding Yi also understands that the development of the NBA in the Chinese market is actually an explosive growth only after Yao Giant joins.
Even so, everyone had a good conversation.
Walking out of the NBA headquarters, Natasha looked back at the not-so-tall, brilliant gate, and then looked back at Ding Yi and asked strangely, "Don't you mention the sports brand?"
Ding Yi said, "The brand has just been established, and it is useless to mention it, so let's open a certain market first." ”
Immediately, Ding Yi smiled, "Of course, since you cooperate in the domestic market, you always have to promote it by the way of the NBA's fame." ”
That being said, Ding Yi is going to go back now and ask about the price of the Oriental Shark, and a Yao giant is worth the fare. If you can get your own team, when the Chinese boss and the basketball brother match, it will definitely be a super home team for domestic basketball fans, and a proper big publicity weapon!
As for the current men's basketball brother Wang Zhizhi, in China, Asia is indeed invincible......
However, Ding Yi is not very optimistic about his development in the NBA.
In later generations, there have always been people YY, saying that Wang Zhizhi was selected by the calf in 99 years, and he passed directly without delaying for two years, and maybe he could replace King Nuotian. A first-round lotto, a second-round lotto, the talent is not the same. The professionalism will not be higher, and the hardness of the body is far less than that of Nuo Tianwang, who is rarely injured, but Wang Zhizhi is not like that.
These have been decided, and the final height of the two must be much worse.
