My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 132 Exaggerated sneaker contract

Kobe chatted with Nash and Kevin Johnson for a long time after the game. He made a lot of suggestions to Nash, and he must cherish the opportunity to learn from Kidd and Kevin Johnson. To improve his confrontation ability, even if his physical talent is naturally weak, Kobe believes that Nash can completely rely on technology to become a superstar.

Nash couldn't believe Kobe's claim that he could become a superstar. My parents didn't think I could be a starter! Especially today's matchup with Kobe made him realize the gap. He was also a rookie in 1996, and Kobe had already left him out of sight.

Kobe had great confidence in Nash. He studied with two top point guards in the Suns for a few years, and with Nash's natural shooting touch, Nash would soon become an All-Star. If you can meet coaches and teammates who can make use of his strengths and make up for his shortcomings. A superstar is about to rise.

"Kobe, looking at you young people, I was wondering if it's time for me to retire." Kevin John shook his head and smiled helplessly. Kobe made him invisible today. In fact, this 30-year-old point guard, who averaged 20 points per game this season, will retire next season. Although the team needed him to come back in the 99-00 season, he only played 6 games. games.

Continuous injuries have done a lot of damage to Kevin Johnson, a speed-type point guard. His short height has lost his speed, and he will drag the team down on both ends of the court.

"Kevin, you're still young. 30 is the pinnacle of being a point guard. But if you want to retire and change careers, I recommend you go into politics. Your political views are very attractive. I will vote for you for president. One vote!" After retiring from the military, Kevin Johnson went to Harvard College to complete economics courses, then entered the University of California, Berkeley, studied political science, and then entered politics. Since 2008, he has served as the mayor of Sacramento, the capital of California.

Even Chuanchuan can be the president, and Kevin Johnson is sure to be fine.

His political achievements are really not low. Kobe admires Kevin Johnson's political ability very much. He has made very far-reaching achievements in improving racial conflicts, promoting economic development, and enhancing the national influence of sports.

"Politics? I like politics, and I will consider it." Kevin Johnson slapped his head. It is interesting to be an official, and he can try it after retiring. He has always regarded Martin Luther King as his idol, and he also wants to contribute to blacks like Martin Luther King.

"Merry Christmas everyone ~ see you next year!"

On the night of the Lakers' victory, O'Neal invited everyone to celebrate at the Phoenix nightclub, and Kobe also went there. It's just that he didn't drink alcohol. Kobe didn't want alcohol to ruin his body with unlimited potential.

The next day, Kobe rarely slept until 8 o'clock. As soon as I woke up, a phone call came in.

"BOSS! The Lakers' $1.02 million salary has been remitted! Please check!" Even at Christmas, Rob Pelinka was still working for Kobe.

"Very good." Kobe smiled and finally got the money.

"It is strongly recommended that BOSS make fixed property and charitable investments, so that you can get a tax rebate, otherwise you will have to pay up to 39.6% federal tax, 13.3% California state tax and 6.2% pension and medical insurance tax if your California income exceeds $413,000. "

Kobe had a headache, the taxes in the United States were too high, it was outrageous, and the dog officials took away all the money for playing hard.

"Rob, let's invest in fixed assets first. There is no rush for charitable investment. Less than 5% of the money has been handed over to the people who really need help. Show me the house in California. The team apartment has lived in it for so long. It's time to change your residence." " Kobe intends to set up a charity organization by himself in the future, one can avoid taxes, and the other is to help the victims of disasters in the world, so as not to let those unscrupulous organizations hack his donations.

But at present, there is not much money in hand. This needs to be discussed in the long run. When the sneaker signing fee arrives, the amount will be 3 million. First, I will change the house and buy a car. Then prepare for the formation of charity organizations and Mamba Academy.

The subordinates still need some manpower. Kobe doesn't have time to experience and manage these things, and Pelinka is also weak. All these organizations need some top talents to manage, and Kobe already has several candidates in mind.

"In addition, boss. Allen Iverson and Reebok reached a preliminary agreement, a huge contract. Reebok initially agreed to a 10-year 50 million price contract, and some details are being discussed." With emotion, the amount of Iverson's sneaker contract is high, but it is not outrageous.

You must know that Michael Jordan, who now holds 4 championships, is a world-renowned basketball ruler. His sneaker endorsement contract is about 20 million US dollars per year.

The details of the contract transaction between the All-Star ticket king Grant Hill and Fila FILA are vague, but it can be determined that it is roughly 30 million US dollars in five years.

Anfernee Hardaway also signed a five-year, $40 million deal with Nike in the first year of his career.

In USA Today, Hardaway was ranked No. 1 in marketing in 1996, in a survey of teens. Hardaway leads Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan in approval ratings.

Jordan used to be No. 1, but quickly became No. 2, followed by Grant Hill of the Detroit Pistons at No. 3. Many still consider Hardaway's Lil' Penny campaign to be the most successful basketball marketing in Nike's long history.

These are the three players with the largest sneaker contracts in the NBA today, and they are also the three players with the best sales in the market.

Immediately Iverson will step on Reebok and enter the battlefield, and Kobe will also bring Mamba Sports into this stage.

"Boss, we can use this contract to raise the price of eBay, do we need to do this?"

"No need, just follow the agreement." Kobe and eBay have confirmed that the contract amount to be signed is 3 million US dollars in 10 years, as well as 12% non-dilutable equity of Mamba Sports. That's right, Pelinka's unpredictable negotiation skills won Kobe another 2% of the shares. The signing amount is only a small amount, and the bulk is in the equity dividend. Kobe is confident that the company's revenue will exceed 100 million within three years, which is not an exaggeration. Jordan's annual income in later generations even exceeded 3.1 billion U.S. dollars. Of course, this is the reason for the globalization of the market and years of precipitation.

But what Kobe is going to sell is not just sneakers, he also has a series of operations, and he has popular sports items for the next 20 years in his mind. It is not difficult to make an income of more than 100 million in three years. At that time, the equity income alone can easily exceed 10 million.

At that time, some plans that Kobe prepared in his heart can be implemented smoothly.
