The eighth big thing.

OCQ has entered the stage of writing the source code, and the Tencent entrepreneurial team is responsible for the overall design, using Tencent QQ as the template, and the ICQ designer team has worked hard.

Comparatively speaking, Tencent QQ has a simpler operation interface than ICQ.

As for the SIM card business embedded in the "mobile ICQ" in the future, this is a branch business of GE, and Jeff Immelt came forward to guarantee that the negotiation will be completed.

The most optimistic estimate is that it will take three months to bear fruit

The ninth big thing.

SBBA's trial operation plan has been fully rolled out, and 100 bullfighting challenges a day will be held simultaneously in gymnasiums, open parks, and large squares in many cities across the United States.

Streetball, which was originally ignored by the media, has finally become the mainstream of the headlines for this period of time.

The owners of a number of sports institutes began to sign up enthusiastically and actively formed their own street teams.

CBS, CNN, and WNBC are the main players, and they have begun to purchase some game videos in batches and gradually promote them in North America.

Ussy's nickname of "Emperor of Streetball" has become even louder and has penetrated into the hearts of streetball players.

The tenth big thing.

On July 27, Adidas (Germany) CEO Herbert Heiner formulated the "Stove Plan" in order to force Ussi to finalize the endorsement contract as soon as possible, and asked Kobe to come forward and invite Ussi at the Continental Airlines Center gymnasium.

At that time, Usilis was busy with a mess, so as the honorary vice president of GE Healthcare Group, he sponsored a 20-day "GE Summer League Program", promising endorsement contracts for the top five teams with a total amount of 5 million to 20 million US dollars.

This plan was later modified by David Stern, Leonsey, James Dolan and others.

The specific activities began on August 1 and ended successfully at the end of the month.

The first 15 days are the quota battle, ranked by the number of wins, and the top 40 will be taken; The next 15 days are a 2VS2 PK match, and players form teams to participate, which should highlight the characteristics of SBBA rules.

After Usyris' rebounding in the SBBA, the NBA's big men don't have any advantage in the SBBA at all; In addition, the scoring method is completely different, and the key to determining the outcome of the game has been completely shifted to the small man.

2 points in assists, 1 point in shooting, and a perfect offense is a 3-pointer. Even if you are interfered with by a foul, you can show off a free throw and score 1 point. All in all, on the SBBA court, point guards and peak guards are kings.

The list of players in the top 5 groups in the PK leaderboard is as follows.

Group 1: "Street Ball King" Raff-Alstom. No one knows how to turn streetball into an art better than Alstom!

Partner: "God of War" Allen Iverson. Super fast breakthrough speed, no one can stop!

Group 2: "Peter Pan" Kobe Bryant. Almighty ball skills, souls born for battle!

Partner: Maddie. I don't know what Maddy thinks, but he has been staying in the free market, which has made the competition between the Magic and the Wizards more intense.

Group 3: "Little Usiris" Tyrone Evans. The 2.03-meter front guard swings people, and if you don't make a sound, it's just a blockbuster!

Partner: "Lone Wolf" Stephen Marbury. A lonely hungry wolf, not to be underestimated.

Group 4: "Old Assist King" Mark A. Jackson.

Partner: "No. 1 scorer in the universe" Reggie Miller. I don't know what crazy he smoked, he ran to SBBA to challenge, but fortunately, with the help of his old teammates, coupled with his ultra-high shooting skills, he also squeezed into the top 5.

Group 5: "Cruel Harvester" Smash-Parker. The ability to tackle is indeed extraordinary.

Partner: "The Truth" Paul Pearce. Wear flowers and butterflies, walk alone on the street court!

Except for Alston, Tyrone Evans, and Smash Parker, who are full-time SBBA players, the others are NBA stars. In the final analysis, the bullfighting competition is too intensive, and the street ball players with relatively weak physical fitness have brushed up in the intensive quota battle of the event.

The PK competition has just begun, and a large number of companies in North America have rushed over with endorsement contracts; The total amount ranges from $500,000 to $5 million, which is obviously to pick up the leakage, because of the media exposure and the influence of the player's football skills, once there is an endorsement bundle, the sales of goods will naturally explode.

In this hot August, the limelight of SBBA completely overshadowed the White House election, which is definitely worth investing in.

The players were naturally overjoyed, the contract was not worried, and they maintained an attitude of not rushing, impatient, or hurried to Ussy's promise, because the promise would be fulfilled in a month at the latest. Everyone knows that Ussie is busy, you have to urge, aren't you just finding fault?!

The media also thinks so, anyway, no one is urging Ussi to come back.

At this time, Usilis was in the training camp and did not have time to deal with the matter, so he asked Jeff Immelt and others to handle it on his behalf.

On the evening of August 31, Madison Garden Plaza, SBBA's "GE Summer League" award ceremony.

Jeffrey Skell (eBAY, California), Jeff Immelt (GE Healthcare Systems), Steve Case (AOL Time Warner Group), and Duberry (Vice President, Adidas North America) were the presenters.

Jeffrey Skell offers 10 endorsement contracts for Global Climate Protection Ambassadors with zero pay.

Jeff Immelt has been offered eight 10-year, $10 million contracts as a global ambassador for a subsidiary of OM Fund.

Steve Case offered four 10-year, $1,500 endorsement contracts, one for Skpye, one for MSN, one for Tencent QQ, and one for OCQ.

Duberry provided 10 10-year $20 million endorsement contracts, in the name of Adidas (North America), as for the specific products, but did not say clearly, only a few tycoons can see the difference.

It seems that the amount of the contract is not sky-high, but there is no conflict between them.

The same player can receive up to four contracts at the same time, with a cumulative amount of $45 million, which is the real sky-high price.

Except for players who have already signed a shoe contract, the same player can receive at least two contracts at the same time, with a cumulative amount of $25 million or $20 million.

The fourth contract belongs to the sneaker contract, and in addition to the endorsement fee, the dividends of the personal signed sneakers are a huge income. (To be continued.) )
