After the Spring Festival, Lin Zuhui took his private jet to New Jersey, where the headquarters of Fila has been relocated.

"Boss, welcome to Fila's new headquarters!" Santos said with some spirit.

He is a professional manager, and what he desires most is to change the downward trend of Fila's performance and restore the glory of around 1997; As for the world's third largest sports brand mentioned by the boss, he is not so confident enough.

"Show me around!"

"Okay, this way, please!"

Next, Lin Zuhui, Rooney (Bank of Bahrain) and others visited the new headquarters.

Back to the meeting room.

Lin Zuhui asked: "How is the progress of the recruitment of technical R&D engineers?" ”

Santos was quick to say: "It's being recruited gradually, and a lot of progress has been made...... If the boss wants to have his own core technology of sole, I am afraid that he will have to wait for a long time. However, Adidas recently had a lawsuit with Ellis, the founder of Tianzu Technology, and if we can obtain Tianzu Technology, we can quickly obtain a core sole technology. However, the reason why Ellis fell out with Adidas was because he opened his mouth wide. ”

Sole technology is a key technology for a sports brand.

Nike relies on the air cushion technology that has become famous, and there is a new type of Zoom technology, even the much-criticized Shox technology is quite famous; Adidas' core technologies include Adiprene, A3 structural shock absorption, and the famous Boost technology in later generations; Even the domestic brands in the previous life have independently developed some core technologies in the future, such as Anta's energy ring and Li Ning's Li Ning bow.

Of course, it's not that sports brands like Fila don't have sole technology, it can only be said that its sole technology is not a successful patent.

Lin Zuhui asked curiously: "I've heard of Tianzu technology, which is the core technology of Adidas, but I didn't expect that when I signed the contract, there would be such a big loophole." What's going on? ”

"The original technology of Tianzu was invented by a man named Frampton Ellis, who used to be a track and field athlete at Duke University," Santos said. Ellis once had to say goodbye to his athletic career due to an ankle injury, so he decided to invent a safe and stable shoe to protect the athlete's feet.

Ellis found in his research that human beings are more stable when they are barefoot than when they wear shoes, so after three years of research, he made a barefoot sole technology and applied for a patent.

Later, Adidas obtained the patent rights to use the bare foot from Ellis, and improved it to imitate the human bare foot while increasing the outer edge of the traditional rolling unload, so that the ankle deflection angle during movement was reduced, and the stability was enhanced.

Adidas officially released the "Tianzu" technology in 1996, and between 1997 and 2000, Adidas released more than 100 sneakers with Tianzu technology. Not only basketball shoes, but also tennis shoes and running shoes all have Tianzu technology.

However, the patent license between Adidas and Ellis expired in 2000, and then the two sides did not reach an agreement on the renewal of the contract, so they went to court against Bo, and the lawsuit is still ongoing. ”

Lin Zuhui said: "Is it Ellis's red-eyed technology that has brought success to Adidas? So the lion opens its mouth? ”

Santos nodded and said, "Yes! ”

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Adi can't afford it, and we naturally can't afford it, so let's concentrate on studying our own sole technology!" ”

He didn't even need to ask the price to know that Fila couldn't afford it. Although Fila is a wholly-owned company of Lin Zuhui, Lin Zuhui is rich, but he is not stupid.

Santos said seriously: "Indeed! However, the boss can rest assured that Fila has begun to pay attention to technical research and development, and sooner or later it will have its own core sole patent technology. ”

Lin Zuhui said with satisfaction: "I have spent 500 million US dollars on Fila, and then Fila can use the loan to solve the problem of funds, of course, I can also inject capital, in short, I buy the brand, I must turn decay into magic!" ”

When a group of executives saw that Lin Zuhui was young, he was so confident, and he was also greatly infected.

At least, the development of Hilton Hotel Group and Gucci in recent years has made industry insiders praise the professionalism of Bank of Bahrain and the new management.

Suddenly, Lin Zuhui was inspired by the 'Tianzu Technology' and thought of a 'patent' that he could know.

"Santos, call two good and loyal designers for me, I have a flash of inspiration and a good note!"

When Santos heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then pointed to the two executives and said, "Boss, Amy and George are technical design executives!" ”

Lin Zuhui suddenly said with a smile: "I forgot!" Let's talk about the design of a 'coconut shoe'! ”

Calling the two executives to his side, Lin Zuhui then took a pen and paper.

Other executives are also very curious, this boss is so versatile, of course, it may be just creative!

Then, Lin Zuhui began to draw pictures on paper (with learning skills).

"The design is called a coconut shoe, and the main feature of these shoes is a woven upper with a foam midsole, and the outsole is generally a translucent elastic rubber with a simple frame."

"The upper of the coconut shoe is the most distinctive, roughly describe my idea, the appearance looks like a gray and black weave, and the characteristics should be breathable, lightweight, and low-top, so this upper technology is a key research and development project."

"This heel bulges back a little bit, warp a little!"

Next, Lin Zuhui asked someone to bring some shoe designs, and finally described a rough description.

It took almost two hours to get the idea done, but it surprised everyone, and of course questioned it.

An executive said: "The first reaction of such shoes will give people a weirdness, is the aesthetic acceptable for modern people?" ”

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "The characteristics of this kind of shoes are light and breathable, and when more people wear them, it is fashionable and popular." ”

Santos nodded and said, "Boss makes a point, anyway, this is a very good creative project, maybe it will become a blockbuster and extend multiple series." ”

Lin Zuhui said with satisfaction: "In short, we must pay attention to it, I am very optimistic about this project, and I will pay attention to the progress of this series!" ”

This is the classic of Adi in the later generations - coconut shoes, of course, the patent for the design of coconut shoes, is a black star named 'Kanye'.

As if inspired by infinite inspiration, Lin Zuhui had an idea and said to Santos: "That Tianzu technology, you can also send someone to talk to the founder called Ellis, and say that we want to cooperate, and we can accept all the profits of sports shoes involving Tianzu technology, and give him a share, but not more than 20%." ”

Santos smiled bitterly: "Boss, this may be very difficult, Ellis and Adi's contract renewal condition is a patent royalty of 80 million US dollars a year, which is 800 million US dollars in ten years!" ”

Lin Zuhui secretly smacked his tongue, this is crazy for money, no wonder Adidas would rather give up than develop the Tianzu series in the future.

"It's okay, you just go and negotiate! But after one or two negotiations, no matter what the progress, you tell the media that we are about to reach a contract with Ellis, and we are ready to develop the Tianzu series of sneakers in the future. Next, don't talk about it anymore. ”

Santos and the others were a little confused, Lin Zuhui just said: "Just do it according to this meaning, anyway, we have no loss, and we don't really develop the Tianzu series before we negotiate, all this is just a gimmick." ”

"Okay!"

Coconut shoes, Tianzu sole technology, Fila is becoming more and more powerful.

Next, it depends on this year's NBA draft, whether he can pick up the leaks, he is definitely familiar with sports stars such as basketball and football.

........

New York.

In a villa in Atlantic Beach, the Hilton sisters came to visit together, and the owner was Lin Zuhui.

He and Paris have had a love affair several times, and Nikki has directly seen the 'applause' of the two, and was even more frightened by Lin Zuhui's brother. This time, the Hilton sisters quietly came to his villa for a date, which made Lin Zuhui's heart hot.

Because he didn't want his relationship with Paris to be exposed, so that the two could only go on a date in a villa or hotel suite every time, so Lin Zuhui also knew that he couldn't cover Paris for too long, so he simply planned to play hard.

The two of them warmed up as soon as they met!

"Hey, I'm still here, can you two not be so direct!" Nikki protested.

Lin Zuhui smiled and said nothing, and Paris quipped: "Last time you were on Lin's plane, you broke into the bedroom directly, and the two of us were seen by you!" ”

Lin Zuhui looked at Nikki with interest, and saw that she was taller than Paris, with the same blond hair and blue eyes, much more beautiful than Paris in terms of appearance, and she was a rare beauty, worthy of marrying a woman from the Ross ~ Child~ De family.

If he can cut a team before this, Lin Zuhui thinks it must be very good.

"Paris, you're getting thicker!" Nikki blushed slightly and said.

But after all, it's European and American, so it's not too embarrassing.

"Let's go, let's go inside!" Lin Zuhui invited.

Next, the three walked into the villa.

Lin Zuhui doesn't know how many villas there are in the United States, not even women, there are about ten, anyway, if you like it, you can buy it. Naturally, the villas of the rich will not be vacant, so people have a chance to take advantage of them, and they only need to arrange workers to clean them regularly.

took the two women to visit the villa, and before arranging their free activities, Lin Zuhui took out a jewelry box.

"Wow, is it a surprise?" Paris covered his mouth incredulously.

She has been talking to Lin Zuhui for almost two years, and naturally she has obtained luxury goods and jewelry, but she is still very surprised, especially in front of her sister.

Lin Zuhui showed a mysterious smile, and then slowly opened it, instantly attracting the eyes of the two women.

This is a diamond ring worth $5 million, which is naturally enough to attract women.

"Can you put it on for me?" Paris said tremblingly.

"Of course"

Although the Hilton sisters could inherit the assets of the Hilton family, the fund model was at that time, and it is not available now. So for Lin Zuhui's generosity, Paris is naturally very happy, of course, the reason why she has been committed to Lin Zuhui for the past two years is because Lin Zuhui dismissed him back then and conquered her later.

Of course, as time goes by, the relationship between the two will definitely be broken, but not now.

Paris looked at the ring on his hand and couldn't put it down, and the two were tired again, and the result was that Lin Zuhui set up a tent.

Paris glanced at it, then took Lin Zuhui's hand and walked upstairs, needless to say that he was going to applaud.

As soon as they reached the stairwell, the two hugged each other, engaged in a fierce firefight, and moved towards the bedroom.

Nicky downstairs couldn't help but move slowly, ready to take a peek.

"I've seen it once anyway, and it's okay to watch it again!"

Nikki went to the second floor, followed the voice to the door of a bedroom, and saw a scene that she would never forget.

"The Chinese can do the same...."

"Oh my God, sister, she's so ....."

Lin Zuhui in the room, enjoying the benefits of Paris's tongue, squinted his eyes and found Nikki at the door, and his direct anger was worth 2 centimeters.

"Ahem," Paris choked.

........

Following.

Lin Zuhui looked at Paris and Nikki beside him, and couldn't help but feel satisfied.
