Today was a day full of trivial matters, but for now, there was something that surprised Tang Qian a little.
That is, his dividends from sneaker sales so far are as high as nearly 30 million U.S. dollars. After deducting federal taxes and California state taxes, he still has almost 15 million U.S. dollars. This means that, including the contract given to him by AND1, he will earn 3,000 U.S. dollars in two years.
Ten thousand US dollars, now there are 15 million US dollars a year, after deducting 39.6% federal tax and 13.3% California state tax, there is about more than 7 million. Added together, just from this sneaker contract, Tang Qian can get it this year
It’s 22 to 23 million US dollars after tax! This is after tax! (There are still some here and there small tax rates that I’m too lazy to forget. Anyway, the big ones are here, and the small ones don’t matter as they don’t affect the big numbers)
How much is it before tax? That is the data that the media loves to hype and show directly to fans, which is almost 45 million U.S. dollars!!! 45 million U.S. dollars? And it’s just a sneaker contract? How many people will be crazy about this? Of course this is
Of course, it is still incomparable to Jordan shoes. Their dividends in 2013 were 80 million. What about last year, 2014? It was as high as 100 million US dollars!!!
Of course, this is also a big business for Nike. In 2013 alone, the total sales of Jordan shoes in the United States reached 2.25 billion US dollars. God, these are just Jordan-type shoes. Are there other ones? What about global ones? What a perversion! Jordan only draws
The dividend ratio is 4% to 5% nationwide, so the nature of this contract is different from that of Tang Qian.
Tang Qian earns 20% of global sales, but he is still so far behind Jordan. It seems that Nike is indeed a giant.
However, it is only February, and there are still 4 months left. According to AND1 company, the sales of this sneaker will surge during the Chinese New Year. They have purchased advertising positions on Tianchao Sports Channel for several time periods.
, plus Tang Qian himself will also declare on domestic Weibo and various networks, the effect will not be too bad.
Tang Qian's commercial to be broadcast on Tianchao Sports Channel was also shot in these days.
It is estimated that there will be more overall by then. Once Tang Qian's sneaker income is revealed, he will probably be jealous and criticized by countless people. It is simple that his current sneaker income has exceeded that of anyone currently in the game. For example, Le
Brown James has not yet signed the famous "lifetime contract" with Nike, so his income is not as good as it will be later. Looking at it this way, the Lakers' No. 29 will suddenly become the most profitable sneaker in the league.
of players.
none of them.
James' total off-court income this year is only 44 million US dollars, and the contract is only 64.6 million US dollars. These are all pre-tax figures, so next year's Forbes NBA star rankings are expected to undergo major changes. After all,
Last year, Tang Qian had not calculated the sneaker dividends, so there was still a lot of difference.
In addition to the KFC global endorsement that Zhou Zhiru helped him finalize during this period, he will have another 10 million U.S. dollars in pre-tax income for four years.
Calculating it this way, Tang Qian's total income after tax so far should be between 40 million and 50 million, and there is no doubt that it is a few hundred million soft sister coins. This is different from the previous calculation method, which is to support the appearance.
Pre-tax income is different. This is truly complete after-tax income, which is completely cash that he can freely use.
And everything, this is just the beginning.
Tang Qian himself is not aware of his ability to attract money yet.
Eventually he will become a terrifying behemoth in sports history.
In the future, he won't even need to do any more work on his own. A large number of contracts will come to him on his own initiative.
For example, this AND1 contract is about to expire. Now Nike and Adidas have re-quoted. The previous contempt is completely gone. A five-year contract of 18 million per year is offered unsolicited, which is more than the original price of AND1.
It's a lot higher. At the same time, they also said in the draft that things like dividends can be negotiated. This matter actually makes many NBA stars feel a little bit uneasy. After all, based on the current market price, the NBA ranked tenth in 2015.
The annual sneaker income is Clippers Griffin’s 6 million, the ninth is Lillard’s 10 million, the eighth is Wade’s 12 million, the seventh is Rose’s 14.2 million, and the sixth is retired Kobe’s 15 million.
million, the fifth is Harden's 15.4 million, the fourth is James's 20 million (James' sneaker sales were the highest in 2015, but the signing price will not change until a lifetime contract), and the third is Durant's
30 million per year, second is Curry’s
Yes, that’s the number! It’s very similar to Tang Qian in Xiao Zi’s works.) The number one is naturally Qiao Shen. It’s unshakable. It’s too much.
Looking at it this way, the contract Nike gave Tang Qian is actually not low, second only to James and Durant. After all, Curry is not a player under their company. Now that Adidas has begun to counterattack the NBA market, Harden has been sold by them.
After winning it, plus Rose was snatched away by them before, Nike now has a little sense of competition and began to slowly pay attention to this former loser.
This made AND1 company very nervous during the All-Star Weekend. The signing representative there had many phone calls with Zhou Zhiru, including their chairman Seth Berger, who also personally communicated with Tang Qian a lot, and his attitude was very
They are sincere and their attitude is very clear. The new contract extension will definitely satisfy Tang Qian and make him look good.
In fact, Tang Qian has a really good feeling about the company AND1 so far, so in fact, they are not like this, and Tang Qian does not intend to leave and change jobs. Besides, Nike once looked down on itself so much, how could it not teach them a lesson? A good horse will not eat.
Look back! This is something Tang Qian has thought about for a long time! Although his first choice was Nike back then, it is obviously not the case now.
He is no longer the dazed young man who just came to the United States and joined the league not long ago.
There are many things that Nike does not provide, but there are many things that people are willing to provide.
However, this matter was reported by ESPN and added fuel to the fire, causing a lot of discussion.
It is now the break of the All-Star Weekend, and everyone has free time to chat, so this report really hit Tang Qian hard. At least, that's what they think. They always have the ability to fight against such authoritative media.
The method will give you a taste of its power when you least expect it. The same was true for Jordan back then. He was eventually caught with a sore leg and had no choice but to retire.
Therefore, the energy of these public opinion guidance cannot be ignored.
A series of controversies suddenly emerged about Tang Qian's greed for money, whether Tang Qian was worth the price, and why Tang Qian could rival James and Durant. Many American celebrities were also sour.
, began to criticize Tang Qian, saying that he did not deserve to have the kind of sneaker contract income he currently has.
The financial status of AND1 has not been announced in detail yet, but we only have a general understanding internally. It is normal for these people to say this. Well, in fact, when it comes out, what needs to be said will be said, some people just can’t change and eat shit.
personality.
Jason Whitelock, a sports columnist who has always had a feud with Tang Qian, wrote: When did it become so easy to earn money for us? Is it because he is an Oriental? He thinks this is unfair to the rest of us.
Right, what do you think?
Many people who hate the rich immediately filled up the comments below, including Tang Qian, but this guy, no matter in this time and space or in the original time and space, he is a guy who has strong discrimination against yellow people.
It is said that the United States attaches great importance to this aspect, but some people always tell us that you think too much. The NBA just controls its image better. This guy is also a famous sports reporter, but he publicly ridiculed it on Twitter
Asians, you want to ask what specifically? Is this nonsense? In one sentence, he publicly mocked the private parts of Asians and yellow people on Twitter. This kind of shit is also a sports celebrity?
Well, it’s true in the United States, so Tang Qian was the first to stand up and answer: I don’t know if it’s easy to make money with a beautiful knife, but I only know that it’s easier for me to make money than for you. You can make as much as I do for one season in your lifetime.
?
As for the rest, Tang Qian also gave a thorough answer: If you think I am not worthy, NBA team members can come to the game to find me. Off-field players are waiting for the vacuum period of my contract to end, and I also welcome you to come to me.
One sentence will do.
Trapped in the contract, Tang Qian couldn't do anything before, but in the vacuum period after the end of the contract, Tang Qian is not subject to the restrictions and validity of the contract. In this way, he will have to complain about certain things.
, there is revenge.
Save yourself trouble later.
Some people at ESPN jumped out and said that Tang Qian was too arrogant and didn't know what respect was.
Tang Qian didn't hesitate to respond to such words, and replied in one sentence: You don't respect me, and you want me to respect you? Even a dog can't do that? What's more, do you think I'm a dog?
As for whether everyone in the league likes him or excludes him, what the hell does it have to do with him? He is not in this position just to swallow his anger. The dormant period and painful period of the year have passed, and his ability back then is
It's not enough. Everything they suffered will now be rebounded with force and they will have to bear it all back.
Anyway, his contract was given by the Lakers, and his sneakers were bought by people who like his personality. If he does this in the league, it will not affect anything at all. So in addition to playing basketball, he is allowed to flatter others. Domestic
The Basketball Association and basketball administrators can't do it. Is it possible for these so-called authoritative American media? Are they worthy?
Of course, Tang Qian's strength will make many people uncomfortable and unhappy, but it doesn't matter. When the results are achieved and the strength is achieved, even if you don't like me, you still have to support me and brag to me. This is competitive sports.
A competitive game with absolute victory or defeat.
This is not some subjective judgment of acting, singing, writing, etc. Here, a loser is a loser and a win is a win.
When he wins a lot of core championships, if he doesn't give them a good look, they will report on him and praise him.
Tang Qian saw this more clearly than anyone else.
What he wants to learn is Jordan's way, uncompromising, and only follow his own path to dominance.
Once you become the strongest, naturally no one can say anything to you. This is what is called in competitive sports. You have to like me even if you don't like me.
The most ridiculous thing is that Nike actually wants to use this to maintain the original price, that is, it can help Tang Qian resolve the relationship and conflicts with the media. Adidas has already increased its price, and you still want to play this trick? Tang Qian looks at it
I found it funny! He responded directly and forcefully to the news from Nike: Don’t come again, I will never sign you, and it’s impossible to sign you ten times more! Also, the relationship between me and these media needs to be repaired? Need to be eased? I
Is this necessary? I am a basketball player, a competitive athlete, not a Hollywood entertainment star. I have no need for this. Do you understand?
It is said that Nike was furious when they heard this and threatened to suppress Tang Qian in the basketball shoe industry. This made Tang Qian lose his remaining goodwill towards Nike.
AND1 took the opportunity to finalize a new contract with Tang Qian, and they also announced the outline of the contract.
100 million US dollars in 3 years!!!
An average of 33.33 million U.S. dollars per year! This does not include maintaining the original 15~20% dividend from global sneaker sales!
It will take James 17 years to get close to this number. Now that it has been revealed, it is indeed a bit scary!
Besides, Tang Qian is not the number one player in the league! This treatment is too crazy! Especially in a country dominated by capitalism! It can make countless people jealous!
ESPN took advantage of its "public power" and began to interview star players who were participating in the All-Star Weekend in the game. I originally thought that it would be the same as before, most of them would speak in a serious official tone. But who knew that the first person in the league would
After James expressed his stance, many people began to choose to follow and echo. Or some people took the lead and couldn't hold back the evil fire in their hearts.
Many people in the east and west are beginning to feel dissatisfied with Tang Qian's contract, some to a lesser degree and some to a greater degree.
This situation was something Tang Qian had not expected before.
The main reason is that Tang Qian's current status is not enough, so many people are not convinced.
Or to put it another way, jealous.
If it were James, they would never have made such a big fuss. Of course, ESPN added fuel to the flames and had a great effect. Tang Qian also remembered this account.
It's a pity that this is nothing, and he has no intention of compromising and becoming "good friends" and "good brothers" with everyone in the alliance. In this case, what can't he say? You are now, in a sense, all me
opponent.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what I took. AND1 only did it after agreeing with it. Otherwise, why not give it to others? Isn’t it because these people are not good enough and not worth the price? How many people can start a business these days?
Who is a fool? Right?
Tang Qian's attitude made him even more isolated during this year's All-Star Weekend.
But this did not affect his mood at all. He still watched the games when he should and relaxed when he needed to.
This weekend, he also needs to slightly adjust his tense nervous state in the first half. After all, after this week, until the end of the season, he and the Los Angeles Lakers will hardly have any long rest time.
Taking advantage of this last moment, I will take a nap, and you, too, should take a good nap.
When it's over, it's time to kill all of you.
My name is Tang Qian. I've been around until now just to better myself, not to wear a mask.
You are not convinced? Let’s have a fight! Come and do it!!!
