Today is also a day of all kinds of trivial matters, but for now, there is something that still surprises Tang Qian a little.

That is, his sneaker sales dividends so far are as high as nearly $30 million, and after deducting federal taxes and California state taxes, there are still almost $15 million. That is to say, with the contract given to him by AND1, 30 million US dollars for 2 years, there are now 15 million US dollars for 1 year deducting 39.6% of federal taxes and 13.3% of California state taxes, and there are about more than 7 million. Together, just for this sneaker contract, Tang Qian can get 2200~23 million US dollars after tax this year! This is after tax! (There are also some scattered small tax rates that I don't bother to calculate, anyway, the big heads are here, and the small heads don't matter if they don't affect the big numbers)

How much is it before taxes? That is, the data that the media likes to hype the most and likes to show fans directly, that is, almost 45 million US dollars!! $45 million? Or is it just a sneaker contract? How many people are going crazy? Of course, this is not comparable to Jordan shoes, people's dividends in 2013 were 80 million, and last year was 2014? Up to $100 million !!

Of course, this is also a big business for Nike, just in 2013, the total sales of Jordan shoes in the United States were as high as 2.25 billion US dollars, God, this is just Jordan type of shoes, what else? What about the global ones? What a pervert! Jordan also only takes 4%~5% of the dividend ratio in the United States, so the nature of this contract is still different from Tang Qian.

Tang Qian, who is a 20% dividend of global sales, is still so far from Jordan, it seems that Nike is really a real giant.

However, it is only February, and there are still four months to go, and if it is said by AND1, the sales of this sneaker should soar during the Chinese New Year. They have already purchased advertising positions for several time periods of the Celestial Empire Sports Channel, and Tang Qian himself will also claim on Weibo and various networks in China, the effect is bound to not be too bad.

Tang Qian's advertisement to be broadcast on the Tianchao Sports Station this time was also filmed in the past few days.

It is estimated that there should be more overall by then, and once Tang Qian's sneaker income is exposed, it is estimated that it will be attacked and attacked by countless people. Quite simply, he now earns more sneakers than anyone else on active duty. You say, for example, LeBron. James, he has not signed the famous "lifetime contract" with Nike now, so the income is not as good as the back, so suddenly, the Lakers' No. 29 will suddenly become the most profitable player in the league.

Not one of them.

And James's off-court income this year is only 44 million US dollars, plus the contract is only 64.6 million US dollars, which is a pre-tax figure, so next year's Forbes NBA star list is estimated to have a big change. After all, last year, Tang Qian hadn't calculated the dividends of this sneaker, so there was still a lot of difference.

Coupled with the KFC global endorsement that Zhou Zhiru helped him finalize during this time, he had a pre-tax income of 10 million US dollars for 4 years.

Calculated in this way, so far Tang Qian's total income should reach almost 40 million ~ 50 million after tax, and there is no doubt about the safe hundreds of millions of soft girl coins. This is different from the previous calculation method, the kind of pre-tax income that supports the façade, this is the real complete after-tax income, which is completely cash that he can use freely.

And everything, this is just the beginning.

Tang Qian's own ability to absorb gold, he himself actually hasn't realized it yet.

Eventually, he will become a terrifying behemoth in the history of sports.

In the future, he doesn't even need to operate more, and a large number of contracts will come to the door on his own initiative.

For example, this AND1 contract that is about to expire, and now Nike and Adi have re-quoted, and the previous contempt is completely gone. A 5-year contract of 18 million per year was voluntarily sent, which was much higher than the original price of AND1, and they also said in the draft that they could negotiate dividends and other things. After all, according to the current market price, the annual income of the NBA's tenth-ranked sneakers in 2015 is 6 million for the Clippers Griffin, the ninth is Lillard's 10 million, the eighth is Wade's 12 million, the seventh is Rose's 14.2 million, the sixth is 15 million for retired Kobe, and the fifth is 15.4 million for Harden. The fourth is James's 20 million (James's sneaker sales were the highest in 2015, but the signing price does not change until a lifetime contract), the third is Durant's 30 million a year, and the second is Curry's X (not announced but experts estimate that above Durant, he also signed a previously unknown sneaker company, which eventually increased the company's sales by 754%!). You read that right, it's the number! It's really the same as Tang Qian's pen in Xiaozi), the first is naturally Qiao Shen, which is unshakable and exceeds too much.

From this point of view, in fact, Nike's contract to Tang Qian is not low, second only to James and Durant, after all, Curry is not a player under their company. Now that Adi has begun to counterattack the NBA market, Harden was taken down by them, and Rose was robbed by them before, Nike now has a sense of competition and begins to slowly pay attention to the defeat of this former subordinate.

This made AND1 nervous during the All-Star Weekend, and the signing representatives there talked to Zhou Zhiru many times, including their chairman, Seth Brown. Berger also communicated with Tang Qian a lot in person, his attitude was very sincere, and their attitude was very clear, the new renewal contract would definitely satisfy Tang Qian, and he would be able to get by on face.

In fact, Tang Qian's feeling about the company AND1 is really good so far, so in fact, they are not like this, and Tang Qian does not plan to leave and change jobs. Besides, Nike used to look down on itself so much, how can it be taught a lesson? Good horses don't eat back grass! This is something that Tang Qian has thought about for a long time! Although his first choice was Nike back then, now, it's obviously not.

He is no longer the stunned young man who first came to the United States and joined the alliance not long ago.

There are many things that Nike doesn't give, and there are many people who are willing to give them.

But this incident still made ESPN report it, and added fuel to the fire, causing a lot of discussion.

It's the rest of All-Star Weekend again, and everyone has time to chew their tongues, so this report really made Tang dive hard. At least, they think so, and against this kind of authoritative media, they always have a way to give you a taste of it by surprise. The same was true for Jordan back then, who was finally caught with a sore foot and had no choice but to retire.

Therefore, these public opinion-oriented energies cannot be ignored.

All of a sudden, about Tang Qian's greed for money, whether Tang Qian is worth this price, why can Tang Qian be comparable to James and Durant, a series of controversies came out all of a sudden. Many American celebrities are also sour, and began to scold Tang Qian, saying that he does not deserve the current sneaker contract income.

AND1's financial situation has not been released in detail at this time, but there is a general understanding inside, and it is normal for these people to say so. Well, in fact, it came out, and what should be said will also be said that some people just can't change their personality of eating.

The sports columnist Jason who has always had a grudge against Tang Qian. Whitelock posted: When did our American knives make it so easy to earn? Is it just because he's an Oriental? He doesn't think it's fair to the rest of us, right, what do you think?

A lot of people who hate the rich are all over the place at once, no matter how you say Tang Qian, but this guy, whether it is this time and space or the original time and space, he is a guy who has a strong discrimination against yellow people. It is said that the United States attaches great importance to this aspect, but we are always told that BA is better controlled for the sake of image, and this guy is also a well-known sports reporter, but he has openly satirized Asians on Twitter. What exactly do you want to ask? Isn't it a fool? In a word, he took to Twitter to openly mock Asians and yellows for the undersize of this dog. stuff is also a sports celebrity?

Well, it's really in the United States, so Tang Qian was the first to stand up and answer: I don't know if it's easy to earn Meidaorong, but I only know that I'm easier to earn than you, can you earn me money for a season in your life?

As for the rest, Tang Qian also gave an answer: If you think I don't deserve it, NBA team players can come to the court to find me, and players outside the court will wait for the vacuum period when my contract ends, and I also welcome you to come to me. In a word, it does.

Trapped in the contract, Tang Qian couldn't do anything before, but during the vacuum period after the end of this contract, Tang Qian was not bound by the restrictions of the contract and the validity of the contract. In this way, he will also have to repay, revenge for certain things, and revenge.

Save yourself the hassle in the back.

ESPN: Some people jumped out and said that Tang Qian was too arrogant and would not be respected.

For this kind of words, Tang Qian did not hesitate, and replied in one sentence: You don't respect me, do you want me to respect you? Dogs can't do it, can they? Besides, do you think I'm a dog?

As for whether everyone likes it in the alliance or not, whether the platoon excludes him or not, what the hell does it matter to him? He has achieved this position now, not to swallow his anger. The dormant period and the painful period of the year have passed, and everything he suffered back then, when he was not capable enough, he has to rebound strongly now, and all of them will be suffocated.

Anyway, his contract was given by the Lakers, and his sneakers were bought by people who liked his personality, and he did it in the league, and it didn't affect anything at all. So in addition to playing basketball, he let him go to the horse for other things, and the domestic basketball association and basketball management can't do it, these so-called authoritative American media, is it possible? Is it worthy?

Of course, Tang Qian's strength will make many people uncomfortable and unhappy, but it doesn't matter, the results are here, the strength is here, you don't like me, you have to hold me and brag to me non-stop. This is competitive sports, a competitive game where there is an absolute winner or loser.

This is not a subjective judgment of acting, singing, writing, etc., losing here is losing, and winning is winning.

When he gets more core championships, this kind of person, if he doesn't give them a good face, they will report him and praise him.

At this point, Tang Qian saw it more thoroughly than anyone else.

What he wants to learn is Jordan's path, uncompromising, and only following his own path of hegemony.

has become the strongest, naturally no one can say anything about you anymore, this is the so-called in competitive sports, if you don't like it, you have to give it to me.

The most ridiculous thing is that Nike still wants to use this to maintain the original price, that is, what can help Tang Qian solve the relationship and contradictions with the media. Everyone Adi has risen, do you still want to play this hand? Tang Qian felt funny when he looked at it! He replied directly and forcefully to the news from Nike: Don't come again, I will never sign you, it's impossible to add ten times more! Also, my relationship with these media outlets needs to be repaired? Need to de-escalate? Do I need this? I'm a basketball player, a competitive player, not a Hollywood entertainment star, I don't need that, you know?

It is said that Nike was furious when he heard the rumors and threatened to suppress Tang Qian in the basketball shoe industry, which made Tang Qian lose his only remaining original favor towards Nike.

AND1 took the opportunity to finalize a new contract with Tang Qian, and they also announced the approximate contract.

$100 million in 3 years!!

An average of 33.33 million US dollars a year! This is not counting the original 15~20% global sneaker sales dividend!

This number, James will take 17 years to get close, and now it has exploded, which is indeed a bit scary!

Besides, Tang Qian is not the first person in the alliance! This treatment is crazy! Especially in a predominantly capitalist country! It can make countless people's eyes and hearts beat!

ESPN used its "public power" to start interviewing star players who were participating in All-Star Weekend in the arena. But who knows that after James, the first person in the league, made a statement, many people began to choose to follow and echo. Or if someone takes the lead, they can't hold back the evil fire in their hearts.

Many people in the east and west began to be dissatisfied with Tang Qian's contract, some of them were shallow, and some were deep.

This situation was also something that Tang Qian hadn't expected before.

The main thing is that Tang Qian's current status is not enough, so many people are not convinced.

Or to put it another way, red-eyed.

If it were James, they would definitely not have made such a big emotional scene, of course, ESPN added fuel to the fire, and it also played a big role, and Tang Qian also remembered this account.

It's a pity that there is nothing in this, and he has no intention of making compromises and being "good friends" and "good brothers" with everyone in the alliance. In that case, what can't be said? You're my opponent now, in a sense.

I don't think there's anything wrong with taking it myself, and AND1 agrees with it, so why not give it to the rest of the people? Isn't it because these people can't afford it and it's not worth the price? In these years, how many people are fools who can build a business? Right?

Tang Qian's attitude made him a little isolated during this year's All-Star Weekend.

But it didn't affect his mood at all, he still watched the game when he should watch it, and relaxed when he should relax.

This weekend, he will also have to adjust his nervous state in the first half of the week, after all, after this week, until the end of the season, he and the Los Angeles Lakers will hardly have too long to rest.

Take advantage of this last moment, let me take a rest, and you guys, take a good rest.

When it's over, it's time to all of you.

My name is Tang Qian, and I have been mixed up until now to be better myself, not to wear a mask.

Are you not convinced? Let's fight! Come on!!
