For role players, the All-Star Game is a time to rest, but for star players, that's not the case. In the past, at this time, it was Zhou Zhiru who took Tang Qian to run around, advertising, shooting, negotiation, publicity, a lot of commercial activities to do, and there was not much time in ordinary times, basically this time can be well organized. As soon as he thought of this, Tang Qian's eyes darkened a little, because last year's Toronto All-Star Game was actually the last time he met Zhou Zhiru. Then the girl quietly returned home.

What should be done or done is that there are related days and things at this time, and it is easy to see things and think about people.

This year, it is the professional "Tang Team" who is in charge of this matter, and the plans and schedules are very detailed, but it makes Tang Qian feel a little empty in his heart. As I said, at this time a few years ago, he basically flew around with Zhou Zhiru this week. Suddenly I changed it all of a sudden, and I was always a little uncomfortable.

He was even stunned on the plane sometimes, feeling that this little girl was sitting next to him, wearing that professional outfit to scrutinize the details of the next event.

"Don, Brother Tang? Are you listening? This is a waiting advertisement, AND1 will negotiate a new contract with us. Based on the places that Sister Zhiru has negotiated before, we don't have to do a lot, probably just these are the few aspects to pay attention to, you see, first of all, ......"

This "Tang team" around me is very professional and basically tailor-made, but ...... It always made Tang Qian a little absent-minded.

After reading these things, Tang Qian excused himself to be tired, took out a small white MP4, put on headphones, and then pressed the play button.

I don't know if it's the sound of the song or other sounds, it slowly entered Tang Qian's ears.

Heart.

AND1 HQ.

"I'm glad that it's basically agreed, and we want to take advantage of the All-Star Game to release it in the next few days, and also give a wave of hype to the hot and ourselves, what do you think? The best thing to do is ...... It's best to win the All-Star MVP this time. I don't know if it's hot, what do you think? "It's Dinah, the female executive who is the henchman of AND1. Because of her support for Tang Qian's strategy, Dina has gained a lot of trust and exceptional promotion, and she is indeed capable herself. Berger's henchman loves the general, so everyone thinks that the two of them "have a leg".

In the end, now AND1 has come back to life, so as the chairman of Seth. It is impossible for Berger to do everything by himself as before, and this time it is already very solemn to let his number one love come over. After all, this is not an official contract signing ceremony, and he will definitely show up one day. He also attaches great importance to Tang Qian, and he can't come back for the time being when he led a team in a foreign country this time, so he made a special phone call to come in, and he was relieved to Tang Qian.

"Brother Tang, Brother Tang, what do you think?" The people of the "Tang Team" asked Tang Qian for his opinion.

Tang Qian raised his head at this time, and after thinking for a while, he nodded.

However, he added a request, that is, this time to release a limited commemorative edition shoe on the basis of the release of a new generation of signature shoes. It should have the letters "ZZR" on it. For this, Dina herself made the decision and agreed, because for the current AND1, Tang Qian is the person who cannot be offended. It can even be said that Tang Qian's "do my own thing" basketball shoes are not stressful even if they go out independently. Because now many people only recognize Tang Qian's "do my own thing", not how loyal they are to AND1.

This is a bit similar to Nike's Jordan shoes, so what to do, she knew exactly what to do, so she agreed without hesitation, without any hesitation at all. Seeing this, Tang Qian also nodded, as for the contract, he didn't want to read more.

Anyway, whether you look at it or not, the money will not be less, and the "Tang Team" that I brought with me is not a vegetarian.

They do all the really professional things, and they just show their faces when they come over, that's all.

But if he doesn't come, it won't make sense, everything will still be based on him.

After coming out, a relatively young female member of the "Tang Team" couldn't help but say: "My God, I didn't expect such a super contract to come out, and I still did it in our hands." It's unbelievable. I'm still a little excited, and my hands are shaking slightly. Brother Tang, you are amazing! That's 3 billion US dollars? Even though it's an installment payment, it's too scary. ”

"And we still have our global sales dividends, which is simply ...... Send money. ”

Yes, in order to keep Tang Qian for a lot of money, and also to let Tang Qian overpower the lifetime contract of about 15~1.6 billion given to James by Nike. The choice of AND1 is...... Direct Doubling !! Isn't it scary??? If the bet is lost, AND1 can directly declare that it will explode on the spot and go bankrupt. But AND1 is now betting wholeheartedly on Tang Qian's body, Seth. Berger directly believes that he, the No. 29 of the Lakers, is the next Jordan.

China's Jordan.

Now because of the surge in domestic consumption power, the sales of sneakers are also rising, and Tang Qian is the only Chinese big-name player, or a quasi-supergiant level, his idol power is a bit incomparable. This is something that Chinese players who play soy sauce in the NBA can never match.

Even now AND1 has a goal, that is, to completely win the eastern market and become the largest capital to compete with Adi and Nike in the future. And to achieve this goal, Vostok 29, he is an indispensable key.

3 billion US dollars seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is just the net income of Nike for seven or eight months, and it is also a big key to pay in installments. So, AND1 is just gambling. They have ambitions, that's why they gambled on such a wave.

How much profit do they have now? The net profit is less than 400 million US dollars, although it is already terrible, and it has surpassed many old brands in one fell swoop. Including Puma and Under Armour, it is currently firmly in third place in the world. can be compared with Nike and Adi in front, it is a fraction. Because Adi's financial statements this year came out, the revenue was as high as 21.2 billion euros, and the net profit was close to 1.2 billion euros, which is about 1.3 billion US dollars. It's scary. And what is the stats of Nike, the number one giant in sports? It's really scary to say it, the revenue is as high as 34.4 billion US dollars, what about the net income? Up to $4.2 billion. Several times more than Adidas.

So, looking at the two big brothers in front of you, AND1 still has to work hard.

As the saying goes, starve the faint-hearted, prop up the bold, and now Seth. Berger wasn't going to do it like that, he was going to fight Adinake in his lifetime, after all, he was only in his early 40s, and he still had a long way to go. Besides, as the founder of this brand, he also has a lot of additional advantages to take advantage of. This is something that Adi and Nike don't have.

However, this contract is the same as James's, and it is not ready to be made public, but the so-called non-disclosure is not without any rumors, and James's is not disclosed? The result? Isn't it still a hot discussion everywhere, full of wind and rain in the city? It's up to you to use this to hype it up. This is something to be done in business, and Tang Qian doesn't want to interfere more.

He just needs to do his duty as a spokesperson.

As for the money......

What is the point for Tang Qian now?

He doesn't have any extravagant consumption habits, so this ...... What's the point?

After signing with so much money, in fact, to be honest, he didn't feel it at all, and he was not even as happy and happy as he signed the first small contract with Zhou Zhiru at the beginning. So when asked this question, Tang Qian just looked up at the building of the AND1 headquarters, and then said lightly: "Too much money is a number, everyone has worked hard, and I didn't give everyone a few days off during the Spring Festival before, and after this all-star weekend is over, I will give everyone a small long vacation, and then everyone will have a big red envelope." Even if it's a belated year-end bonus from my incompetent boss. ”

There was a burst of cheers, Tang Qian was not short of money, but they were all ordinary people, and they had not yet reached the realm of "money is a number". Besides, Tang Qian ignored this team because he was in China before, although there was a reason for it, but it should be made up, so as not to cause problems for a long time.

The era of shouting slogans has long passed, and even elementary school students know that fighting chicken blood will not work.

The combination of profit and righteousness is the solid foundation, and the ...... This team was established by Zhou Zhiru, and Tang Qian didn't want them to be easily destroyed in his own hands.

……

The barrage of business activity continued, and then it was time to fly to New Orleans for All-Star Weekend.

Originally, this year's game was supposed to be set in Charlotte, but due to some policy problems, the NBA league temporarily canceled Charlotte's hosting rights in order to avoid suspicion, and replaced it with New Orleans. This incident made Qiao Shen also very depressed, after all, he could make a lot of money if he held it in Charlotte. The current Joe God is a veritable Joe boss, and he is no longer the basketball player Michael. Jordan too.

So the direction of thinking is also different, and the ass determines the head. Understandable.

Unfortunately, the protests were ineffective, and this year's organizers moved to New Orleans.

Compared to the NFL Super Bowl that ended not long ago, the NBA's All-Star Weekend is a bit of a decline. Sival didn't know that this was actually a wake-up call, and his future reforms would only make the festival more and more difficult to extricate himself. Even in the original plane, he was a little self-defeating, and in the face of the lowest ratings and subscriptions in history, he once said that he wanted to "cut" the All-Star Weekend game. Of course, this is unlikely, and it is only a few words of complaining. The tournament began in 1951 and was officially broadcast on television eight years later, and only one second half was broadcast. It was a tough start. In David. Before Stern took charge of the league, in fact, the so-called All-Star weekend was dismal in ratings. Stern, the old Jewish man, pulled the festival step by step. At one time, it was second only to the Super Bowl. The Jordan era once reached a rating of 14.3, and the number of viewers reached 22.91 million at the same time. What now...... It's getting worse and worse.

In 2019, there was even only a 3.8 rating left.

It's no wonder that the president is so anxious that his hair grows back.

But why this is so, Wade actually told the truth in a post-All-Star Game interview, and the reason is actually very simple......

It's just that the traces of the All-Star Game performance are too heavy, and now they are all projection and non-confrontation, and the whole court is not serious about playing, and it used to be a serious fight in the last quarter, but now it's good, and the whole process is "Ode to Joy". This is really speechless for anyone to watch. The ratio of scores on both sides is getting higher and higher year by year, and the ratings prove that doing so is self-defeating.

And in this time and space, our president, can be regarded as a savior, how Jordan brought the All-Star Game to the peak back then, and now the 29th is what to do. From this point on, the president began to slowly change his opinion, and became a little ...... for Tang Qian
