Chapter 238: Chapter 239
The Washington Wizards almost didn't have an All-Star.
Jordan sat in the house in Washington, puffing on his cigar, depressed, picked up the water glass on the table, and slammed it at the TV.
He averaged 23 points per game this season. His strength is not weak, but the team is too weak.Hamilton is still immature, the CIC king is just beginning to see the clues, and the champion Kwame Brown directly pulls his hips, which makes people helpless.
Gan!This year's fans are ignorant.Forgetful, Jordan has not retired yet, he has been attracted by new star players, where are all the former fans?
Jordan actually lost the All-Star starter.There are only hundreds of thousands of votes in the area. Compared with McGrady's 251 million votes, his vote rate is very ugly.
This time, McGrady has the highest number of votes among the starting players in the Eastern Conference. It is well-deserved. With the crazy support of Huaxia fans, Yao Ming was elected as the starting player in the Eastern Conference's center position.
In addition, O'Neal, Iverson and Carter became the starters in the Eastern Conference.
"Tracey has a conscience. He called me and hoped to give me the starting lineup," Jordan muttered, but as a player's pride, he did not accept it.
Iverson also called Jordan, also hoping to give him the starting lineup, but he did not accept it.As a top player, I am proud of it!
All-star starters wouldn't even want it, let alone a group, it's an insult to myself.
Because Carter was injured and unable to participate in the All-Star, Jordan accepted Carter's kindness, otherwise, he would be embarrassed to be the starter.
At this time, McGrady came to the villa in the North District, and Arne Traum was already waiting.The news he brought was basically the movement of the sponsors.
Today, McGrady has more than 30 sponsorship contracts tied to him, large and small contracts, which give him at least 6 million US dollars in net income every year.
Including personal investment, McGrady's personal assets are close to 8 million. Of course, including stocks and real estate, if taxes and fees required for cashing out are deducted, McGrady estimates that there are only about 5 million US dollars in net assets.
Not high, not low.At least among the players, it is already considered the only one.Thanks to several Internet companies listed in the United States, their resurgence gave McGrady the first pot of gold.
Now, he has also invested in several Internet companies in the United States, and plans to hold them for a long time, waiting for high cash out.
"For this sponsorship contract, the interested parties are from Asia. Huaxia and Japan." Arne opened his notebook, and it was full of notes, "Several Internet companies in Huaxia have seen your influence and want to invite you as a sponsor. Their spokesperson, the endorsement fee is negotiable."
"I have paid attention to these companies. They are all well-known Internet application companies in China, and they should have a good prospect."
"I still have the same conditions as before. If you can give me shares, that would be the most perfect. It doesn't need much, just about 0.5 percentage points, and it doesn't matter if it's lower." McGrady squinted his eyes, and it hurts Xun and Ali, Ferry, these companies, They are all expanding. If they use their personal influence to earn some shares at this time, they will be worth hundreds of millions of dollars when they go public.
"They are still in the stage of external financing. If we cooperate with capital groups, we hold shares, which is also a model."
"Just operate, mainly shares, others, not important. These companies, backed by a vast market, have a high chance of success." McGrady looked at Arne.
This guy has followed in the footsteps of McGrady and made a lot of money in the past few years, but he is not as courageous as McGrady, and his net worth is only tens of millions to less than [-] million.
"There is also a sponsorship contract from Japan. Yokohama Tire, Toyota Motor, including Toshiba and Sony, these companies all hope that you will become their spokesperson."
"If it's an endorsement from Europe and the United States, yes, the higher the endorsement fee, the higher the cost." McGrady is not Yao Ming.For example, Toyota valued Yao Ming's influence in China, and wanted to use 2000 million US dollars to invite Yao Ming to endorse the car, but Yao Ming refused.
"The fluctuation of the endorsement fee is between 300 million and 500 million US dollars. I will try my best to negotiate. If this round of negotiations is completed, you will have a net income of 1300 million US dollars. It is a good business."
The annual endorsement fee income can basically reach hundreds of millions, making him the highest player in the league.These sponsors also communicate with the league, starting from the All-Stars and entering the league's endorsement lineup.
Anyway, the alliance earns, and so does McGrady. "By the way, these contracts are limited to Europe and the United States. Then let out the rumor that in Huaxia, I hope to endorse Huaxia's own brand, the same type of brand."
"The market is separated!" Arne showed a satisfied smile. McGrady is a qualified businessman. He can not only take care of the emotions of Chinese fans, but also earn his own money.
"Help me keep an eye on a few small clothing brands, I'm going to buy a few." Maddie ordered again.
Amelia Vega has won the honor of Miss Universe, and the next step is to cash in the honor.It is a good idea to create a few niche and high-end clothing brands.
After sending Arn away, McGrady rushed to the team's training ground. The opponent at night was the Heat.The teams in the East, especially the teams in the Southeast Division, play about 4 games a season.
Acquaintances can often meet.Pat Riley doesn't like the schedule.This season, they almost went for the No. [-] pick and took the initiative to play poorly.
McGrady only played 28 minutes, scored 31 points, and called it a day.By the way, he grabbed 9 rebounds and 7 assists, which is as comprehensive as ever.
The Heat took the initiative to claim a loss, sending the Hawks to the All-Star Game.
Both Yao Ming and Billups achieved double-double records, and they achieved the final sprint before the All-Star.
Yao Ming has averaged 17 points and 9.9 rebounds per game so far this season. There are no strong insiders in the Eastern Conference. He can be regarded as the first-class existence among the Eastern Conference centers.Therefore, being elected as the starter of the Eastern Conference All-Star did not cause much controversy.
He also became the first player among the 2002 rookies to be selected as an All-Star.Others, including Stoudemire, have yet to show convincing performances.
McGrady was called out by Carlisle, who was the head coach of the Eastern Conference.
Until this time, McGrady began to pay attention to the All-Star schedule.The previous schedule was full.
"Tracey, I want to discuss with you. Between Rasheed and Billups, I hope one of them can participate in the All-Star." Carlisle took the initiative to discuss with McGrady, "If both are elected, the goal is too big Not enough rest for the players."
"It's up to you, I don't interfere. As far as the team is concerned, Chauncey is our starting point guard. She has sorted out the team very well. I support her. Of course, Rashid is also very good, and I like it very much." he."
Leave the problem to Carlyle.
Rasheed Wallace happened to pass by the door and suddenly fell silent when he heard Maddy's words.
All-Star weekend, a total of three days.The first day is the rookie game, and Yao Ming will also participate. After all, he is a first-year rookie, even if he is already a starter in the Eastern Conference.It should also be used as a signboard to attract fans.
On the second day, the three-point contest, the dunk contest, and the skill challenge.Because McGrady, Kidd and others appeared on the stage, the star flavor became stronger, which also attracted a lot of attention.
The last day is the All-Star Game, which is also the climax of the All-Star Weekend, attracting fans and sponsors the most.
In the scalper market, the ticket price for an All-Star game has exceeded 1000 US dollars, and it is hard to find a ticket.
The Eastern Conference starters have been voted on.Substitute lineup, since Carlisle has become the All-Star coach of the Eastern Conference, several suitable substitutes will be selected.In the West, Popovich became the head coach of the West, and he is also picking substitute players.
