Want to praise Asians again? Is the NBA so eager to curry favor with yellow skin now? Jeremy Lin’s failure this season will be his fate!!! - American welterweight boxing champion Floyd

AND1 will definitely become one of the biggest counterexamples in the industry! I express my deepest condolences and sympathy for this! Chinese perm? Just the next Jeremy Lin!!! AND1 is about to become "Chaplin"!!!—
—Bill Sagat, Houston Texans.
If AND1 goes bankrupt because of China perm, then I am willing to write a song for it for free! #Of course it is our black people’s foul language music!!! - Kanye West.
It’s incredible! You must know that my endorsement fee has never exceeded 5 million! It seems that I have to be reincarnated as a Chinese talent in my next life! ——Current American shot put champion Kanter Weir also complained on his personal Twitter.
…
Regarding this contract, very few people came out to support Tang Qian. Even some people who usually liked Tang Qian chose to remain silent because the contract AND1 gave him was too generous! 28 million for two years.
U.S. dollars equals $14 million per year. What is the concept? Take No. 24 of the Lakers. Nike’s current price for him is $42 million over three years, which is exactly $14 million per year, plus some additional benefits.
And bonus, it will not exceed 16 million US dollars. Tang Qian's first sneaker contract is close to Kobe's height, which is a bit "inflated" no matter how you look at it. Of course, it is well known that Nike has always been "mean" to Kobe.
Whether it is the length or the amount of the contract, it is not worthy of Kobe's status in the world. Looking at Durant, the current contract is 7 years and 60 million US dollars, which is about 8.58 million US dollars per year, but in the future he will sign a
A 10-year super endorsement contract of 300 million yuan, which means that you can get about 33.33 million U.S. dollars every year. This is undoubtedly a huge contract with enough sincerity for Durant, who is still on the rise. Not to mention James
He has been the darling of Nike since high school. He got a "sky-high price contract" of more than 90 million yuan for more than 7 years before entering the NBA. You must know that before 2003, the salary of NBA superstars was only around 10 million yuan a year.
!For comparison, look at the sneaker contract provided by Nike to Kobe Bryant in 2003, which was 45 million for 5 years. And what was Kobe’s status at that time, an offensive and defensive double team + All-Star starter + 3 championship rings, top ten in the league?
One of the stars! But his contract is not half as much as that of a high school student!
At that time, Kobe could get 9 million U.S. dollars from Nike every year, plus some bonuses and benefits, which was about 10 million. What about James, a high school student? It was already close to 13 million a year. As for the rest, Nike also gave him a
This is also Nike's first lifetime contract in 44 years. According to his friend Maverick Carter's disclosure in "GQ" magazine, the total amount exceeds 1 billion U.S. dollars! And it is a cooperation contract between both parties.
In other words, Nike is going to play Jordan's game with James and give him a share of the sales profits!
But that was in 2015. It’s only 2013 now, and there are still two years before it will be realized. In other words, Tang Qian entered Jordan’s “sneaker contract field” earlier than James. After watching Jordan’s
When it comes to sneaker income, you will understand that in fact, the so-called fixed endorsement fee is just a small part. The real big part is the 4% to 5% of the national sales profit dividend. This is what allows Jordan to still firmly control even if he retires.
The key to the NBA’s top position in sneaker revenue.
However, AND1 has offered a 15%-20% sales profit dividend, which is global, which makes people envious and even jealous. We cannot blame them for being so "narrow-minded", mainly because the inside players are originally basketball players.
The "vulnerable group" in shoe sales, look at the sneaker endorsement price of "World of Warcraft", the "number one center in active service" at his peak, but it is only 36 million US dollars in 6 years, less than 6 million US dollars in one year, less than half of Tang Qian's first contract
.So it can only be said that as soon as the details of Tang Qian's sneaker contract were announced, he was immediately at the forefront of the players and the media.
Jealousy, ridicule, dissatisfaction, and many other negative emotions began to rise in the alliance, so many people who originally remained neutral have turned "black" just for the sake of "being black."
The phone number of AND1 company is about to be buzzed at this moment. There is an endless stream of media and reporters who come to seek verification. This kind of grand occasion has not happened in AND1 for many years. But the reason for it makes Seth
.Berger was a little "stressed out."
In the AND1 conference room, Seth Berger was furious and said: "Who! Which idiot leaked the details of this contract? Stand up yourself!!!" In the conference room, there was silence, and there were obviously ten people sitting there.
There was no one who came, but didn't say a word. "Okay, I usually treat you well, right? At the critical moment, some of you betrayed me? Betrayed AND1? Are you worthy of the salary I gave you? Stand up and admit it yourself,
I can also give you a lighter sentence, otherwise once I find out, I will definitely send you to court and charge you with leaking business secrets, and you will be punished to the point of bankruptcy!!!"
But after a while, there was still silence in the conference room.
This made Seth Berger blush with anger, and shouted loudly: "Asshole! What an eggless bastard! If I find out, then I will definitely smash his teeth with my own hands! Not a single one will be left behind.
!!!" At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Seth Berger's female secretary cautiously said: "Seth, Mr. Seth Berger, the hot agent called,
She wants to ask who leaked this trade secret, how we will handle this matter, and if we can't handle it, she won't rule out terminating the contract with us and suing us for breach of contract...
…”
"This damn Chinese woman is really adding insult to injury! I've seen her a long time ago..." When an executive was about to be "filled with righteous indignation" and "swear loudly" at Zhou Zhiru, Seth Berger's voice suddenly appeared and shouted: "You
What are you doing? Is this the corporate quality of our company? Is this the corporate culture that our company emphasizes? The contract clearly states that before the signature shoes are launched, neither party can disclose the specific details of the contract, especially
It’s about the details of dividends. Now that something has happened, people are questioning us. Isn’t this a normal thing? How dare you scold others? Humph, is it you who revealed our business secrets?”
"Ah, me, me, me, Mr. Berger, please don't make random guesses. This matter has nothing to do with me!" I wanted to show off in front of Seth Berger, but unexpectedly...
The flattery slapped on the horse's hooves had no positive effect at all. Instead, it only aroused the latter's suspicion and suspicion.
This middle-aged executive really wants to beat himself to death!
"Mr. Berger, let me tell you something." This is a female executive. She looks very young, in her early 30s at most, but she is considered to have a front seat among the top management of AND1 company. Why can she be in AND1?
With such a high status? Because she has taken over almost half of the company's money-making projects in recent years. With this achievement, she has reached this position, and no one will say anything.
As it should.
"Dina, tell me." Seeing that it was Dana, Seth Berger temporarily suppressed his anger and said.
"First of all, I think this is not our internal problem." Dana said very ably: "Because everyone is willing to stay in ADN1 not only for money, but also for other things. Otherwise, there are too many choices to change jobs. I believe that Bo
Mr. Jie, you also know that many headhunters have extended invitations to us." "Well, you continue." Seth Berger said without comment.
"Then it's time and motivation. We have all signed a confidentiality agreement and occupy a small share of AND1 company. No one wants AND1 to get worse and worse. This is not in line with our interests, so..." Dana dumped
Throwing a long golden wave, he said: "There is only one most suitable candidate, and he is Benjihan, who was just fired by you."
"After he was fired by you, all his shares were sold, so there is no longer any involvement or relationship between AND1 and him. He has a very good motive to retaliate against AND1 or you." In Dana's detail.
After careful analysis, Seth Berger also calmed down. He first waved his hand and asked the female secretary at the door to leave, and then said: "If it is really him, then I will definitely not let him go! I
Let him face a lawsuit! Let him become notorious in the industry!"
"There is no problem with any of this, sir, but the top priority is to stabilize the Chinese side. Otherwise, if he leaves, we AND1 will suffer unbearable losses." After listening to Dana's suggestion, Seth Berger nodded.
: "Do you have a specific remedy plan? Dana?"
"Yes, it's actually not difficult. We just need to take the initiative to increase the value of the contract." Dana said fluently: "Anyway, it's already 28 million US dollars now. It's better to add another 2 million to make a round number of 30 million. We can also take advantage of the opportunity.
Let's create a lot of hype so that the outside world will be full of impressions and curiosity about our new AND1 sneakers. If done well, it may be able to achieve the publicity effect of 'hot before it is sold'." After listening to Dana's suggestion, Seth Burr
Jie secretly affirmed in his heart, because this remedial plan was more complete and perfect than what he had just thought of. At the same time, he also used the momentum of this "incident" to counter the hype, reverse the situation, and save AND1 one day.
Huge amounts of advertising and publicity expenses.
I accepted her as a fresh college student back then, which seemed to be a very wise decision.
"Okay, do you have any additions or comments about Dana's proposal?" Seth Berger glanced at the senior staff in the conference room and asked. Seeing that no one answered immediately, he immediately made an arbitrary decision.
Said: "Then do as Dana suggested, prepare a new contract immediately, then contact Feng's agent and tell her our sincerity in making amends!"
Seeing that the people below did not respond for a long time, Seth Berger said angrily again: "Didn't you hear what I said? Act now, immediately, GO!!!" Suddenly the senior officials in the conference room were excited, and then they all stood up and flew
It seemed as if he had returned to his work area.
After everyone left, Seth Berger suddenly said to himself: "So it feels so good to make a decision alone? If Tom and Jay were still here, then I definitely wouldn't have such a decision-making power."
…
The media is always sensitive to information, so it didn’t take long for AND1’s official statement to be reprinted by countless people.
AND1 company refutes the rumor! The price they paid for China's perm is far more than that! 30 million in 2 years, the price is directly catching up with the league's first line! - Los Angeles Times.
Although I also like China Perm, but 30 million for 2 years, he is really not worth so much! - Bleachers Seth Sean.
Is a Chinese without the Chinese market still worth so much money? Is he twice as good as Howard? That is absolute nonsense! - ESPN.
It’s crazy! When I first entered the league, I only got 18 million US dollars for 6 years! The Chinese people have a huge appetite! - Carmelo Anthony.
LeBron, Wade, and Bosh have all kept silent about the matter, but insiders revealed that they are all dissatisfied and believe that China's move is a money-making act that loses the ethics of professional players! - ESPN.
30 million US dollars in 2 years? AND1 has completely pushed itself to the point of no return! Friends who still hold AND1 stocks, a friendly reminder, sell them immediately, otherwise you will lose all your money soon! - Henry Aber
special.
Oh~ I think that Chinese perm must be a gay~ Otherwise how did he get the boss of AND1? But~ His boss is definitely not as long as me~ There is no doubt about this~——Boxing Champion Floyd
.Mayweather tweeted again.
Haha! Los Angeles folks, are you ready? The Lakers signed a huge premium endorsement contract on the 29th. Go find him immediately! Oh, by the way, you have to remember the size of Asian umbrellas clearly.
Never take out XXXL, otherwise he will only become angry and you will not get any money or tips. If you want to get the most dollars, just bring an S-type umbrella. Remember, this is me, Jason White.
Locke’s “little advice” ~——Sports columnist Jason Whitelock.
After seeing these "rumours", Tang Qian just sneered, then remembered them one by one, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
PS: I saw that some book friends previously questioned the Americans’ “bad attitude” towards yellow players. OK, those listed above by Xiaozi are all people who have made “contemptuous remarks”, this Freud.
Needless to say, Mayweather insulted Jeremy Lin when he was the number one person, and his words were "Asian" and "yellow-skinned". This was not just a unilateral contempt for Jeremy Lin, but also Asians as a whole.
He included all yellow people. Then there is the "Amasian" incident in the New York Post. If you are interested, you can search it yourself. Xiao Zi will not go into details, but such an authoritative newspaper will also appear in such "
"Discriminatory remarks" is really shocking. As for the last one, Jason Whitelock, the famous hacker, has hacked Yao Ming and Jeremy Lin at the same time, especially during the time of Lin Crazy, he once published a post with Xiao Zi written above
A similar private Twitter to make fun of Asians as a whole, so Xiaozi only speaks with facts instead of pure speculation and imagination.
But in the end, they will all be beaten into pig heads by Tang Qian! This is one of Xiao Zi’s original intentions for letting them appear~
Finally, I would like to thank the Demon King 1982 for the big reward, and the silent honor for the big reward~
