Chapter 798 Chrysler's Remorse
Updated: 2013-06-02
Because the gold medal is too valuable, all members of the Chinese national team participated in many celebrations in the next three days and were cordially received by Mo Xueru's father in the Great Hall, as well as any official social groups, etc.
Of course, these celebrations and condolences were not in vain. Many of them came with rewards. First of all, the General Administration of Sports allocated a reward of RMB 2 million. This amount was also a share of the head coach, but Yunas had left, and the staff of the Basketball Management Center received additional rewards, so the money was divided equally by the players.
More than 100,000 yuan is naturally nothing to Stephen and Yao Ming, but for those players who play in China, this is also a huge sum of money, especially Chen Jianghua, who only has about 200,000 yuan a year, and he earned half of the annual salary at once, which naturally feels very good.
And this was just one sum. Then a certain steel group also gave one million to the national team, and a company that sponsored the national team jersey also sent one million. In addition, with the successive small income, everyone can basically get a reward of nearly 700,000 yuan.
Of course, this is a reward for the entire team. At this time, Stephen admired Modance's foresight. Almost all of his endorsement contracts have additional reward terms, and the reward for winning the championship or Olympic gold medal is the most abundant. Of course, his winnings of so many personal awards also brought him a considerable wealth.
Manufacturers also prefer this method because the contract itself is low. If Stephen performs poorly, their losses will be smaller. However, if Stephen can win these awards, it also represents a huge increase in popularity, so it is understandable that they will pay more.
Especially those companies signed with Chinese state-owned enterprises when changing nationality, no one expected that the Chinese national team would win the Olympic gold medal, but the championship seemed to be hopeful, so the amount of this clause was three times that Stephen won the championship. As a result, the Supersonics team was eliminated in the second round this season, and the clause was not activated, but this clause that seemed impossible to complete was activated.
Stephen participated in various celebrations, and Modons informed the manufacturers from door to door that it was time to pay. After Stephen came to an end, he collected more than 700,000 yuan. Modons had already earned 50 million yuan. For most manufacturers, they were willing to pay the money. After all, they were all state-owned enterprises, and they were honored to help the country win the Olympic gold medal.
Although income is just a number for Stephen, Stephen still enjoys the rewards after paying. With more money, he can do more things he wants to do. For example, the scale of the charity tournament can be further expanded and the power of the Olympic gold medals can be used. The Chinese national team can also be called the world champion team. In this way, it will be easier to recruit other players.
At least Durant, who was a little shirked, also called on the phone and was willing to participate in this competition because his agent did not care much about the Chinese market, so he was very resistant to Durant coming to participate in this competition. However, Stephen led the Chinese national team to defeat the US team and won the Olympic gold medal. This incident not only caused a sensation in China, but also caused a huge sensation in the United States.
In the long run, this is the third time that the US team has missed the world championship, but compared to losing to Argentina and Greek teams, this loss is even more unacceptable, because both Argentina and Greek teams have won the overall situation, and coupled with the explosive touch, this loss is forgiven, because we are an All-Star lineup and cannot play the overall situation, but in the game against the Chinese team, the Chinese team started playing the overall situation, but at the last moment, when the Chinese team was obviously unable to do it, Stephen stood up alone.
With the Chinese team without Yao Ming, he defeated this American team who was in full swing with his ability alone. A superstar player with so many young and powerful strength and a just-in-law, but he lost to the Chinese team with only one and a half superstars. It is very consistent with the American hero plot, but one thing is that it is not that the Americans defeated the evil forces, but that the evil forces defeated the American team. However, even so, it still makes people love and hate them.
Especially Stephen was originally from the United States and wanted to play for the country but had no way to serve the country, so he had to turn to another country. This kind of sadness was also very touched. Therefore, after Stephen led the Chinese team to defeat the United States and won the gold medal, his fans in the United States rose instead of falling, and his popularity increased greatly, even if the media held a positive view of him.
Stephen's popularity is like a huge tempting cake for endorsement manufacturers, which makes people want to rush to taste it. The relationship between celebrities and endorsement manufacturers is not fixed. Whoever has the upper hand depends on who is stronger.
If a world-class company wants to choose a spokesperson, it is naturally the best among the best globally. However, a world-class star also depends on who is more in line with his own mind. For a star with a slightly less famous, being able to cooperate with a world-class company is naturally a must-see, but for a star like Stephen, who is already a top player in a certain field, he does not need this appearance rate to maintain his popularity.
And as a competitive star, what he needs to do is to maintain his competitive state, so Stephen is very cautious when choosing endorsement manufacturers. Sometimes he pays too much attention to the company's scale and fame, nor does he look at the size of the contract amount, but how much impact the contract has on himself and whether it fits his image. At this time, the one who regrets being indifferent is Chrysler Automobile Company.
After Stephen terminated his contract with them, he quickly reached a cooperation with Ford on the condition of three years, 18 million and five years of priority renewal rights. Although it was mainly to deal with the Chinese and Asian markets, Stephen's popularity in the North American market is not bad, so Ford first came up with a newly launched Mustang GT500 and tried it.
This is also a car that Stephen prefers. In addition to taking a busy schedule, he also drove this car every day. As a result, after the car was put on the market, it achieved great success. According to the survey and analysis report of Chrysler, Stephen's promotion of sales of this car was about 8.4%, and most of the time, the effect of celebrity endorsement reached 4%.
However, in this world, you can buy everything, but you can't buy regret medicine. Similar manufacturers have exclusive agreements, and even if they don't, Stephen cannot endorse two companies with similar products. Chrysler regrets it, but the manufacturer that has chosen Stephen is smiling.
As the Olympics gradually approaches the end, it means that the largest sports event in history for the Chinese is about to end. Liu Xiang, known as the "Asian Flying Man", chose to withdraw due to injury. This is also a result of not paying attention to the physical condition. Although China ranks first on the gold medal list, there are not many surprising gold medals, and it is still traditional table tennis, diving, badminton, weightlifting, gymnastics and other events. In ball sports, the men's team has no breakthrough in tasks except basketball, and even the women's team, the fig leaf in the past only had one hockey that won the silver medal, and the basketball line was once again without any gains.
The Olympics are over, but the public's enthusiasm for sports will not decline quickly, and the development of many sports events has been greatly attacked.
While Chinese football has not made progress, Chinese basketball won the championship in one fell swoop. Although many people believe that if Chinese football team naturalizes Cristiano Ronaldo to the Chinese team, Chinese team can also achieve good results, but this is just a saying. Cristiano Ronaldo has no Chinese blood at all, and football cannot change the entire team by one person, and at least one player's effect is not so significant.
Moreover, the Football Management Center is not as pioneering as the Basketball Management Center and dares to emancipate the mind. Although it is also a government department with a rigid system, the work of the Basketball Management Center is quite open and is more willing to listen to the reactions of the people.
Under the influence of Chinese basketball championship, the enthusiasm of the public to participate in this sport has been further improved, and the development of professional competitions has also entered a ***. However, at this time, the Oriental Sharks team, which Yao Ming originally belonged, encountered difficulties.
Last season, the Oriental Sharks only achieved eight wins and twenty-two losses. At this time, the original sponsor encountered financial difficulties due to the subprime mortgage crisis. At this time, under the instructions of the Municipal Party Secretary Yu Deshui to liberate his mind and have a sense of reform, the Shanghai Sports Bureau immediately understood that he thought of Stephen and Yao Ming. It was not easy to have these two big players.
It is now a period of change, and many industries advocate management and management. On the one hand, the Lu Municipal Sports Bureau responds to the instructions of the superiors, and on the other hand, it can also eliminate the losses every year, killing two birds with one stone. So they come to the door.
However, due to familiarity, they first looked for Yao Ming and asked Yao Ming if he had any interest in buying the Oriental Sharks. The price of a team that lost money every year was naturally easy to discuss. However, as Yao Ming's team, Yao Ming couldn't understand his situation. Although he had excellent money-making ability, it was not that easy to support a team that lost money every year, so he came to Stephen to discuss it.
