137. January is soon

(Read the full text of the Reading House without pop-up windows)

"You know, I am a worthwhile person now, so it is impossible to endorse it casually because my endorsement fee is very expensive..."

"I will give you the price that satisfies you, definitely not comparable to those damn Adidas and Reebok."

"How much?"

"I talk about money very vulgarly, and I said the price I gave you can satisfy you."

"What is the price? If you don't give me money, would you give me a house or a luxury car? Forget it, beauties, I'm not very good at this."

"I can give you the shares of the company, how about twenty percent?"

"Give me shares? How much is the 20% share worth? How much is the dividend every year? What is the market value of the champion now? By the way, I don't know who the champion is now? Who is it? Is it Steve Jobs?"

"Haha, that, the current champion is me..."

"Dig a trench, are you kidding me, uncle?"

"Of course not. If you think this part of the shares is a bit small, then I can increase it. Twenty-five percent is good, right?"

"I just want to know how much property you have now. You have been so awesome in Nike Adidas Reebok, and there is also ABCD training camp. It's okay to have assets of over 100 million yuan? How much is the current market value of the champion? Don't fool me, I have studied economics by myself, and I understand everything about Nasdaq indexes."

"Now the property is only 100,000 yuan. Do you think ABCD training camp is charged? Shit, it is a charitable training camp, just to encourage children who like basketball to pursue their dreams bravely! I can't make money from there, but I have to post millions of dollars in every year."

"What a joke? Your property is only 100,000 yuan? How much can the champion's market value be? Please, uncle, I am the number one center in the West now, and the endorsement fee is not 18 million yuan. Do you have the nerve to sign me? And Winnie, you speak, why do you look at me with the idiot's eyes?"

"Okay, brother, you are cruel. I have never struggled so hard at the negotiating table. Then I will give you 30% of the shares. I will lose a lot now."

"You struggle? I think you're having some difficulty eating, right? We're now negotiating a contract. What are you eating? Damn, old man, please be at your disposal. Can you still eat steak that is five cents old at your age? And I think your personal doctor is right. You'd better quit the bar. Violent Mary is very expensive. You've had four fucking glasses..."

"Thirty-five percent of the shares!"

"Mr. Vaccaro, I can agree to your endorsement request on behalf of z, but we need 49% of the shares, you can have 51% of them, which is our bottom line." Winnie finally interrupted. She was in a state of shock just now. She was shocked by the negotiations between the old and the young: Are you sure you are not playing house and are negotiating a contract?

"Forty-nine percent? Then I might as well do it myself, it's impossible, it's impossible!" Old Man Wa wiped his mouth and stopped eating the steak.

Winnie was not in a hurry. She looked at Vaccaro and said slowly: "You know the value of z, just like I know, he will become the second mj, and he has the ability to bring back a brand. Nike can't see this, Adidas can't see this, Reebok can't see this, because they are all blind people, and if you can't see it, then we don't have to cooperate."

"Also, I want you to come to find z because my dad told you?" Seeing that Vacaro was about to speak, Winnie continued, domineeringly preventing Vacaro from fighting back.

Vaccaro was like a choking goldfish. He opened his mouth in vain, then lowered his head and kept attacking the seafood on the table. As if there was a grudge between the two sides, he finished a big lobster and said, "You win, then I will give z a 49% stake!"

Chamberlain was a little dissatisfied. This champion was nothing but a fictitious thing. Its production line capacity and brand awareness were not much better than the Adid King sneakers that were often sold by hawkers on the streets of Chinatown. He could not see any hope of making money from this brand.

Don’t think that if a star endorses the sneakers, they will be sold immediately. The sneakers are mainly sold to fans, but they are not fanatical fans. If the sneakers are of poor quality, even fanatical fans will not continue to buy them. At most, buy two pairs to collect them to support them.

Winnie looked straight at Chamberlain calmly and said, "Didn't you say you would rather choose a small brand to endorse me as long as it respects me enough?"

Chamberlain also turned into a choking goldfish. He stammered for a few "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Winnie looked at the contract. It seemed that the old man was determined to win this trip, and the backpack was full of the contract. The contract was fine. As long as Chamberlain signed, he would be one of the bosses of the old sports goods champion.

When Winnie nodded, Chamberlain had no choice but to sign, and he thought it was a reward for Winnie. The latter's help to him was not comparable to a small contract.

When Chamberlain signed, the old man killed the violent Mary in the cup without saying a word and then escaped. Chamberlain was depressed, Winnie said: "Are you unhappy? I understand your mood, z, but believe me, this old guy is a genius, he can definitely produce the best sneakers, he has all kinds of talents under his command. As long as we join forces with you, we will copy a Nike, and there is absolutely no problem."

That's all I can do, Chamberlain showed that I definitely believe in you.

Although Winnie said she was full of confidence in Vaccaro, she still called her father to confirm: "What's going on with Vaccaro and the champion?"

Old Eddie began to talk on the other end of the phone. Chamberlain found that Winnie's face was pretty good at first, and as Eddie's description became better and better, but in the end she didn't know what Eddie said, she threw her phone on the ground and broke it.

"What's wrong?" Chamberlain asked tremblingly, wondering who made Lafayette angry again.

Winnie's pretty face turned pale and bit her teeth and said viciously: "We were fooled, fuck, that old guy had negotiated your contract with my dad. The price my daddy had negotiated for you was 51% of the shares. If you take the big head, he is the little head!"

"It's just two percent, not much money." Chamberlain comforted Winnie, "It's okay, don't care. Forty-nine percent is also great. Let's wait and count the money in the future."

A few years later, whenever Chamberlain remembered what he persuaded Winnie, he wanted to slap himself twice. It was indeed only two percentage points away, but the money - the fuck was so different at that time!

January became Chamberlain's wealth month. At the beginning of the month, he negotiated a sneaker endorsement, although he couldn't see the money for the time being. In the following time, Winnie helped him get five contracts one after another, not small. The largest one came from Coca-Cola, who gave him a big contract. Chamberlain endorsed Gatorade under his command. The contract was 32 million for four years, and the fees for each era were 8 million.

The reason why Chamberlain was able to get such a big contract was that he continued to perform fiercely in January, and because of Billups' joining, he performed more vigorously on the offensive end, no longer the blue-collar worker who only dominated the defensive end.

The Warriors played 14 games in January and achieved a good record of 10 wins and 4 losses. Compared with December, the Warriors' performance this month can only be described as the general one. However, considering that all teams have begun to strengthen the lineup and the intensity of the game has also increased, according to experts' predictions, they could only win seven games.

In these fourteen games, Chamberlain averaged 20.5 points, 16.5 rebounds and 6 blocks per game. Judging from the data, he has completely grown into a super insider. In this season, he is the only player who can average 20+15 in the full month. Other strong men such as Garnett and Howard have not done it.

However, all this is closely related to Billups. With Chamberlain's outstanding performance, Billups' assists soared from 7.4 in December to 12.5 in January, becoming the assists champion in January. His cooperation with Chamberlain made the whole league look shy. Billups was originally a killer, but now his passing ability has been completely stimulated - just throw the ball into the ring, and the rest can definitely be completed by handing Chamberlain.

In addition, as of the end of January, the All-Star vote was coming to an end. Chamberlain became an All-Star starting striker, which was an unstoppable trend, so he became the second player after Yao Ming to become an All-Star starter in his rookie season.

In this year's All-Star voting, there are 60 players in the east and west, with a ratio of 24 defenders, 24 forwards and 12 centers. The list of 120 players in the total number of candidates was formulated by reporters, experts and hosts including ESPN, Sports Illustrated, USA Today, Chicago Tribune and other authoritative media.

Chamberlain is in the Western forward group, and then thanks to the numerous Chinese fans around the world. His number of votes in the Western Conference was second only to Yao Ming, second only to Garnett, LeBron and Yao Ming in the entire league, ranking fourth. It is absolutely no problem to be a starting striker.

There is a big difference between the East and West in the roster of the alternative players. The East is composed of veterans who have been struggling in the NBA for a while, while there are many rookie players in the West, such as Chamberlain and Durant.

In the East, the Bucks, which attracted much attention from Chinese fans, were shortlisted by four players. It was Reed, all of whom were all told, Bogut and Villanueva. Although Yi Jianlian squeezed Villanueva out of the starting lineup, it obviously did not gain recognition from media colleagues. The Celtics are the winners of this All-Star vote. Garnett, Pierce and Gentlei all voted very high, and even if they cannot start all, they will all enter the All-Star.

The Rockets also had four players shortlisted, in addition to Yao Ming and McGrath, who were expected to be, there were also Bathir and Scola.
