"Zhang, this is the head of Steve &Barry, Tom Jace." After the three of them sat down, Joanna introduced the old man who came back with her to Zhang Kong, originally they were supposed to come back together tomorrow, but considering that Zhang Kong was going to fly to Boston to play tomorrow, the old man still proposed to come over today, anyway, he had time at night.

It's a big deal to stay here in Indianapolis for one night, but even then you can fix the sneaker problem with Zhang Kong.

Yes, sneakers, Zhang Kong has decided to launch his own sneakers, but it is not one of those big brands in the league.

"Oh, Zhang, you will choose our factory to create exclusive combat boots for you, this is our honor, really, we didn't think that we could snatch you from Nike and Adi!" Tom Jess next to him wasn't a stunned guy.

He also knew the offers made by those big companies to Zhang Kong, originally when Joanna came to him, he thought Joanna was a liar, and it was only after Joanna got the letter of sale that he realized that he had misunderstood, but then remembered Zhang Kong's influence.

He felt that people all over the world were waving at him with money, and of course money was not so easy to earn.

"I'm working with Steve &Barry, too, because after all, you're the only company that's willing to give up equity and the sneakers are pretty good!" Zhang Kong said it very bluntly, but Tom Jace didn't care at all, because it was right.

When it comes to Steve & Barry, most people probably don't know what it does.

This company is not a particularly professional NBA basketball equipment operation company, but a special service for college students, the full name is: Steve &Barry University Sportswear Brand Company, this company is like a double star in the Chinese market.

Speaking of double stars, there may be many post-70s and post-80s who know it, and some post-90s may not know this brand.

After all, this brand was actually quite popular at the beginning, but later with Nike, Adi and other large companies entered the Chinese market, such sneakers gradually declined, so that now it is difficult to see such shoes on the street, Steve &Barry company, like Double Star, belongs to the relatively low-end sports equipment market in the United States.

When it comes to it, everyone may not be clear, but when it comes to one person, everyone understands, Stephen Marbury!

Remember the sneakers that Marbury once endorsed, Starburyone! Maybe the Chinese audience is a little unfamiliar, and Zhang Kong didn't know it at first, but after coming to the United States, Zhang Kong slowly learned about this company and this kind of sneakers.

I know these shoes not because they are good, but because they are very cheap.

Marbury's sneakers sold for only $14 and 98 cents in the United States, which is a very cheap price.

A pair of similar shoes usually sells for about $200 in the United States, but in this company it sells for less than $15.

Some people say that this is a very brain-dead approach, but in fact, Zhang Kong has seen through the business opportunities, speaking of other things, it may be Zhang Kong's fault, but he has never lost his money, and now the best annual salary for Zhang Kong's sneakers is nearly nine million US dollars a year, which is quite high, but Zhang Kong is not impressed.

The wool is out of the sheep, these endorsement fees, given to Zhang Kong, naturally take back from those fans who buy empty sneakers, according to the shoe style designed by Nike for Zhang Kong, Zhang Kong's first shoe, Zhang Kong 1, at least to sell for 230 US dollars to recover the cost, such a high price, of course, some fans can afford it, but more fans can only be discouraged.

The sneakers of the big companies are expensive, and that is inevitable, if you think about the wages of those workers, as well as the endorsement fees of the players, the maintenance costs of the company, and the money for advertising...... You go to a stall outside to buy things and go to the supermarket to buy things at the same price, large companies need a lot of expenses, so the things sold are naturally expensive! And the cost of a small company is less, so it can be cheaper, just like the company that is talking to Zhang Kong now, there are not many people in the whole company, there are not many factories, plus there is no endorsement fee for football stars, pure labor, although it costs a lot, but it is much less than others.

A pair of shoes sells for fifteen dollars, and they can earn several dollars, which is not much, but it adds up to a lot.

Large companies have the advantages of large companies, and their advertising and coverage are very wide, but under such companies, they are also more popular.

And small companies have the benefits of small companies, although advertising and influence are not strong, but with the existence of Zhang Kong, as well as the vast Chinese market, such influence is enough, as for advertising, after that thing has money, it can naturally be broadcast everywhere.

When Marbury joined this advertisement, he was about to stay in the United States, his influence in the United States declined, and his influence in China naturally declined, and his influence in the United States was not even as great as his influence in China because of his play in Shanxi, even so, the sneakers he endorsed made him a lot of money.

What's more, Zhang Kong is still in the year of fighting, and he is getting better and better, his influence and strength are more than one grade stronger than Marbury at the beginning, it is precisely because of his confidence in himself that Zhang Kong asked Joanna to find this shoe factory.

"I can learn like Marbury, I don't have to pay for endorsements, but the sneakers named after me, the shares I need, have to be raised!" Looking at Tom Jace in front of him, Zhang Kong didn't talk nonsense, and directly said his request.

Hearing Zhang Kong's words, Tom Jesse's brows furrowed, no one is willing to give up such a thing as equity.

When Marbury came to cooperate with these people, these people had been hesitating for a long time, and finally although they agreed to Marbury's request, the production of sneakers was not very high, and now Zhang Kong also made such a request, which made them hesitate.

If it's someone else's words, it's a big deal that they don't sell your shoes, because players like Kobe Bryant and James don't look down on small factories like themselves, but what Zhang Kong, a superstar, said, they have to think about it carefully, Zhang Kong's influence in the United States and China is unprecedented!

If the Pacers play well in the playoffs this year, and after Zhang Kong returns to his homeland this summer, joins the national team, and helps the Chinese team achieve good results, then the value of the whole Zhang Kong is simply too high...... "That's what I ask, you can talk to my spokesperson, that is, Miss Chris!" Seeing that the other party was a little hesitant, Zhang Kong also knew that he needed to let the other party calm down at this time, after all, such a thing as transferring equity is not simple.

It's like if you open a restaurant, there is a very beautiful girl in your restaurant, very attractive customers, with her, there are a lot of customers in the restaurant, most people think about it must be to keep this girl, but another Zhengda restaurant next to it also took a fancy to this girl, gave a lot of money, hoping to take this girl away.

And this small restaurant didn't have so much money to give this girl, so the girl said that she would transfer part of the equity of the restaurant to herself and not leave...... Although these shares are not as high as those offered by large companies, they are their own after all.

If it's a boss, you're reluctant to do it, that's why Tom Jess is so hesitant to be there.

Seeing that Zhang Kong was about to turn away, Tom Jace suddenly screamed and jumped up from the sofa, startling Zhang Kong and them.

"Well, Miss Chris once said a Chinese saying: If you don't have children, you can't trap wolves! If I don't give Mr. Zhang Kong an explanation today, I want to go back, and the boss won't let me go! After Tom Jace finished speaking, he took out a contract from the briefcase he carried, it seems that he has already prepared such a contract, which is the agreement on the transfer of the equity of Zhang Kong's sneakers, and in the blank space of the agreement, Jim Jace wrote a 20 out.

Not 20 shares, but 20% equity, that is to say, for every shoe named after Zhang Kong, Zhang Kong will get 20% of the profit, even if a pair of shoes is sold for ten dollars, and a pair of Zhang Kong will earn two dollars.

Using this as bait, Tom Jace was going to tie Zhang Kong directly to his chariot, and Zhang Kong was also surprised by this, because originally his highest target was about 15%, who knew that this old boy was so generous.

Others send money into their arms, Zhang Kong naturally can't push it out, in some essence, Zhang Kong is still greedy, this is when he was poor and afraid, so now Zhang Kong is extremely interested in money, but his vision is longer-term.

After signing the share transfer agreement, Tom Jess directly began to talk to Zhang Kong about the problem of Zhang Kong's first generation of shoes.

The name of the shoe is kong, which is taken from Zhang Kong, the pinyin of empty characters, and in the United States, this kong is also the work of kung fu.

The first thing Americans think of when they see Chinese is kongfu, plus a video of Zhang Kong's fight has recently been circulating on the Internet, although there is no evidence of righteousness that that person is Zhang Kong, but looking at that skill is very scary.

So before coming, Tom Jace had already thought that Zhang Kong's first sneaker was called Kong1, and according to Tom Jace's words, Zhang Kong's first-generation sneaker Kong1, because he gave Zhang Kong 20% of the equity, so the price should be raised to thirty dollars, and selling a pair of Kong1 in the United States, Zhang Kong could earn six dollars, and with Zhang Kong's influence.

If you sell these sneakers to China, you will definitely make a profit! In China, a pair of Kobe Bryant or James sneakers costs thousands of dollars, but Zhang Kong's Kong1 is not even 200 yuan, which shows that its sales will be very high.
