Chapter 390: "Splash Brothers" Creates a Sports Brand
"Second Brother Yang, if you have anything to say, I will definitely support you!" Curry has great trust in Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang patted Curry on the shoulder and said seriously, "I heard that you rejected Nexus, do you have any other plans?"
Curry was stunned: "Are you talking about signing to other sports brands?" I haven't figured it out yet, but Under Armour and Adida are both in contact with me, so I haven't thought about it yet."
"In that case, would you like to create a new brand?"
Zhou Yang's words were amazing, and Curry's eyes widened, his face full of incredulity.
"Second Brother Yang, you're not kidding, are you?"
Zhou Yang shook his head and said, "I'm not joking, what I said is true, think about it, why do we need to endorse other brands?" With our influence, we can definitely create a new sports brand!"
Curry wasn't that ambitious, so he didn't answer right away, and he hadn't turned the corner in his head yet.
"Listen to me, Stephen, there are some things that need to be let go of those boundaries, let go of the rules, why should we advocate for them? As long as we succeed, we will be the bosses, isn't it good to take the money directly?"
Zhou Yang was enlightened, and Curry was finally moved.
"Second Brother Yang, I understand what you mean, but...... It's hard, isn't it?" Curry has no experience in business, and he doesn't have that brain, he just trusts Zhou Yang.
"It's hard, it's definitely hard, nothing is easy in this world. I ask you, when I first entered the league, I said we were going to win the championship, did you believe it at the time?" Look at the book
Curry smiled shyly and scratched his head, "Of course I thought you were talking nonsense......
"That's it! We have an old saying in China, things are done by people! I have a plan for how to do it......
Zhou Yang shared his thoughts and thoughts, Curry's eyes widened again, he felt that Zhou Yang was too thoughtful and too bold!
It turned out that Zhou Yang's plan was to find a company with average operating efficiency, find funds to settle down, and then create a new brand.
The name of the brand is -
Splash Brothers!
"Splash Brothers? Isn't that a nickname for both of us? Can this also be a brand?"
"Of course, as long as there is popularity and excellent quality, the brand can be launched! And you believe me, as long as we work together, the Warrior Dynasty is just around the corner, and when the time comes, with the popularity of the two of us, we will definitely be able to make this brand bigger and stronger!"
Under Zhou Yang's "flickering", Curry was said to be enthusiastic.
"So how? I don't understand anything!"
"You don't have to worry about the rest, you don't have to pay, you don't have to contribute, you just have to divide the money when the time comes!" Zhou Yang knows Curry very well, this kid is very honest and not greedy, and after the company is established, just let him sign the dividends.
After agreeing with Curry, Zhou Yang let the agent start operating.
First, he asked his agent to find a small sports brand in North America called Wild Donkey.
The sports products that wild donkeys have been involved in before are mainly sports such as mountaineering, tennis and running.
Due to poor management and other reasons, it is on the verge of bankruptcy.
In the past three years, Zhou Yang has made a lot of money through endorsements.
Then he found several investment predators as partners to invest together.
Wild Donkey went bankrupt and was acquired, and the brand was replaced with "Splash Brothers", which focuses on basketball jerseys and shoes.
Zhou Yang and Curry naturally became the spokespersons of the company, and they are also permanent spokespersons.
The overall investment of the "Splash Brothers" brand is 300 million US dollars, Zhou Yang himself invested 120 million US dollars, other investment predators invested 250 million US dollars, and Curry invested 3,000 US dollars.
Zhou Yang accounted for 40% of the company's shares, Curry accounted for 30%, and the investment predators accounted for 20%, and the remaining shares were rewarded to several executives of Wild Donkey's original company.
In the beginning, Curry didn't want that much stake, he felt that he had little to contribute and not much money to invest.
But Zhou Yang told Curry that the brand of the Splash Brothers belonged to the two of them, and it was lacking
Not a must!
Therefore, the shares of the two must be about the same, because the shares represent the company's right to speak.
Soon, the designers of the Splash Brothers launched the first generation of signature shoes.
Unlike other brands' signature shoes, the Splash Brothers' signature shoes belong to two people.
The signature shoe is called Splash 1.0
Zhou Yang and Curry filmed a promotional video of a brotherhood together.
In the promotional video, it truly records the arduous journey of the two from high school to college, growing together, working together, and finally entering the NBA and winning the championship!
This inspirational and warm promotional video quickly spread all over the world and touched countless basketball teenagers!
Even people who don't know about basketball are shocked when they watch this promotional video!
Zhou Yang and Curry Sunshine, handsome images, quickly out of the circle!
Originally, Zhou Yang's popularity was invincible, but now with Curry, he has captured the hearts of countless girls.
This signature shoe quickly became popular all over the world!
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the regular season is almost halfway over.
All-Star voting has started again.
After winning the championship last season, Zhou Yang's popularity took the lead.
In last year's All-Star voting, Zhou Yang and James fought for a while, and finally Zhou Yang became the vote king.
But in this all-star vote, Zhou Yang was far ahead from the first round.
Judging from the data, Zhou Yang has dropped a little bit from last season.
Before last season's All-Star Games, Zhou Yang averaged 34.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 10.2 assists per game.
But this season, Zhou Yang averaged 29.7 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 8.7 assists per game.
Although the data has declined, everyone who watches the game knows that Zhou Yang's dominance on the field is even stronger!
And from the point of view, Zhou Yang is more concise and efficient in terms of passing and projection.
Even Jordan predicted that Zhou Yang would lead the Warriors to three consecutive championships when he was interviewed!
Although Jordan's vision was not good before, staring at who was pregnant, his evaluation of Zhou Yang was still recognized by the basketball media and fans......
On February 13, the Warriors took on the Los Angeles Clippers away.
It was supposed to be a very ordinary regular season.
But an incident happened two days ago that focused the eyes of fans all over the world on this game.
The Clippers used their first-round pick in the offseason to select Klay Thompson.
After Zhou Yang heard the news, he had a premonition that things were not good, and the Clippers were definitely going to rise.
Sure enough, after Thompson arrived at the Clippers, he cooperated with Paul quite tacitly and quickly became the league's top outside 3D player!
Before Zhou Yang crossed, Thompson was accepted by the Warriors, but his performance in the first two seasons of the Warriors was very average, nothing too outstanding.
And in this parallel world, perhaps because Zhou Yang and Curry set off a three-point storm in advance, the Clippers pay more attention to three-point shots.
Klay Thompson actually broke out early!
This is something that Zhou Yang did not expect.
