Chapter 281 Yao Ming’s Quotes

Injuring Jordan is indeed a serious matter. After all, this is Michael Jordan!

Especially now, with Jordan preparing to come back, this is too bad.

If it affects Jordan's comeback, Artest will be the sinner in the eyes of many people.

Even without Jordan opening his mouth, Artest would probably be drowned in the saliva of countless media and fans.

Fortunately, Artest is not the kind of person who is sad about spring and autumn, and his character is still a bit carefree.

The worry was only temporary, especially after Wang Hao treated him to a big meal, the guy recovered instantly.

This is also a good thing.

After having a dinner together, the two of them went their separate ways. It is estimated that there will be fewer gatherings like this in the future.

After all, Artest was just a college student in the past. Even though he had a family, he rarely took on responsibilities.

However, his children are now 2 years old.

That's right, when he was just 20 years old and before he even entered the NBA, Artest already had his first son.

Wang Hao felt that his emotions seemed to be fluctuating a bit, which was not a good thing. He needed to be comforted mentally.

So, instead of returning to Seattle, he went to Los Angeles to comfort himself.

Yes, he found Anne Hathaway.

Now, with the release of the first movie, and the results are pretty good, Anne Hathaway has become somewhat famous.

Big stars still need to be famous, so that they can have a strong enough sense of involvement and be stimulated enough.

Moreover, Wang Hao encouraged Anne Hathaway to strive for this movie in the first place.

Anne Hathaway subconsciously believed that Wang Hao helped her make the decision, which was an extremely correct decision.

"Thank you, King!"

"If you want to express gratitude, you can't just say it, you have to take practical actions."

I don’t know what Wang Hao whispered in Anne Hathaway’s ear, and Anne Hathaway glanced at her charmingly.

……(Non-numbers are omitted here)

An hour later, Wang Hao's words calmed down his mood.

Days like this lasted for a whole week. It can be said that the two of them were matched and about to meet a good talent.

The reason why this ends is mainly because I have to work!

With the popularity of the movie, Anne Hathaway is now somewhat famous, so commercial activities are naturally indispensable.

To put it bluntly, it’s not just the actors who need to make money, the agency also needs to make money.

What's more, in Hollywood, the competitiveness is no easier than in the NBA. You have to compete for everything.

Having a good work does not mean that everything will be fine. You still have to strive for the next good work.

“I don’t know if I can continue next time!”

Watching Anne Hathaway leave, Wang Hao sighed a little and had some aftertaste.

The reason why I said there will be a next time is obvious!

That's Hollywood. It's a whole stinking ditch. Originally, only two feet fell down, but now the whole thing has to fall down.

Anne Hathaway doesn't mind, but Wang Hao still does!

But it doesn’t matter, everyone gets what they want anyway, and the title of NBA star girlfriend is still very attractive.

Anne Hathaway walked away gracefully, and Wang Hao didn't hesitate and left simply.

Of course, he didn't go anywhere, just in Los Angeles. As an NBA star, he also has many business activities every year.

Because of the Asian Championships and Jordan's training camp, it has been postponed until now, and it can't be postponed any longer.

In reality, I visited many big cities in the United States such as Los Angeles and New York, and then also went to Europe.

Wang Hao didn't expect that he was actually somewhat famous in Europe. Didn't this place only play football?

Of course, going to Europe was just a side trip; his main destination was actually Asia.

From Southeast Asia, to Xiangjiang, then to Bay, Japan, South Korea, and finally China.

In previous NBA games and this year's Asian Championships, Wang Hao has finally shown his face in front of Asian fans.

Wherever he went, countless fans flocked to him, and the products he endorsed also had excellent sales.

Especially the huge crowds of people, even the local departments had to cooperate in arranging security.

To be honest, this scene kind of frightened Jeff Schwartz and his group of agents, and also surprised the agents.

At this moment, the agents felt regretful because most of the contracts they signed with Wang Hao were for two or three years.

In other words, the contract is about to expire, and some contracts have even expired.

What to do?

Renew your contract quickly and do it at all costs.

As for those companies that did not originally sign contracts with Wang Hao, such as Pepsi and Adidas.

At this time, olive branches came one after another, and some appeared the next day even though they were far away across the ocean.

Wang Hao didn't care about these gossiping matters and left everything to Jeff Schwartz.

As for Jeff Schwartz, he once again lowered his agent commission with Wang Hao.

For Jeff Schwartz, everything about today's Wang Hao comes from himself, not his agent.

It can be said that as long as Wang Hao is willing, he can change his agent at any time and nothing will change.

On the contrary, Jeff Schwartz, as Wang Hao's agent, not only opened up the basketball agent market, but also accumulated a large number of contacts.

How could Jeff Schwartz be ignorant in this situation?

Although these broker commissions are nothing, they represent an attitude, and Wang Hao is still very satisfied.

Nike took the lead and offered a four-year, 45 million contract, an endorsement contract with an annual salary of tens of millions.

To be honest, Wang Hao was actually a little dissatisfied.

Because two years later, Nike is willing to give James a seven-year contract worth 93 million, which is a bit low in comparison.

Moreover, Nike is only willing to sign a four-year contract, and it is clear that it wants to take another look.

Although Wang Hao also wants to sign a short-term contract, preferably no more than 5 years, it still makes people uncomfortable.

To put it bluntly, Nike is worried that Wang Hao is just a flash in the pan, or that there is a possibility of injury.

However, in the end, Nike promised that if possible, they would support Wang Hao to win the award.

Even though this is just a simple verbal promise, it can already be seen that Nike can indeed influence the NBA's award selection.

In addition, Wang Hao also won signed sneakers and a share of the sales of signed sneakers.

A series of products such as Coca-Cola and Gatorade have also completed contract renewals with Wang Hao.

Not only that, in addition to the previous 6 endorsed products, Wang Hao's number of endorsements has further expanded.

However, Wang Hao has consciously exercised control. No matter how high the price of some endorsed products, he cannot endorse them.

For example, Wang Hao would never touch domestic health care products or medicines from the United States.

For each endorsed product, Wang Hao will have a professional team review it to ensure that there will be no problems.

He doesn't want to be pointed at and scolded for making some money.

As these contracts are finalized and renewed, major companies have also issued announcements in order to attract attention.

In fact, not only the media, but also fans are paying a lot of attention.

Because of these big-ticket contracts, a rough calculation shows that Wang Hao’s annual income exceeds US$30 million from commercial endorsements alone.

Countless people advocate that this is the American dream!

What a bullshit American dream, isn’t it just the dream of money?

Not only that, in order to reasonably avoid taxes, Wang Hao simply established another company to manage his commercial endorsements.

It's like a celebrity's personal studio.

It is the same all over the world. Salaries are heavily taxed, which is the so-called personal income tax.

But for companies, that is, business tax, the proportion of tax revenue is very small.

Some places even offer various preferential measures in order to attract investment.

Not to mention tax deductions, they may even be given to you.
