Chapter 322

For me now, it is difficult to acquire Nike, because Nike's market value is now 10.9 billion US dollars, while my current value is only more than 2 billion US dollars. More than 90 of these more than 2 billion US dollars exist in the form of various stocks, and these stocks are all stocks of companies with great development potential in the future, and I don't plan to sell them at all. Of course, even if they are sold all, in exchange for cash, I only have about 2 billion US dollars. At most one fifth of Nike's shares, I cannot reach the controlling stake. But this is only now. As time goes by, my wealth will continue to rise. I believe that in the near future, I will be able to successfully acquire this behemoth.

I did not exchange shares of King King Sports Shoes for Nike shares, so I would really not be able to face Carl Malone and others. I transferred my shares to Ivanka Trump as a betrothal gift to marry her. Ivanka Trump was very happy, and even used several positions that had been rejecting me in the evening to please me.

Although Nike's CEO, Mr. Philip Knight, said he was a little satisfied, it was obvious that this had achieved his goal. I signed Daming in the new contract given by Nike. In the new contract, I will become Nike's lifelong spokesperson in the next 20 years. I will receive a $8 million spokesperson fee every year (it will increase at a rate of 2 every year). At the same time, for every pair of "Super Brown" sneakers sold by Nike, I will receive a commission of 5. If I successfully reach a certain level (6 championships, 6 regular season mvp, 6 finals mvp), I will automatically own 5% of Nike's shares in 20 years.

The first part of this contract is not special. It is a common thing to get a sneaker contract worth 8 million US dollars a year compared to those superstars. Not only Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady and others have such contracts. Even Yao Ming had such contracts at his heyday. But the difference is that my contract is 20 years, and if my achievements reach a certain level in 20 years, I will get another 5% of Nike's shares, which is even better than Jordan's contract that year. Public opinion was in an uproar.

"Although I know Kwame Brown will be a great star, I believe he will have enough dominance in the next ten years, but I don't think he will still have such dominance in more than ten years. You must know that he was old and declining at that time, and he could not be able to play the current data. At that time, the number of fans will be greatly reduced and his commercial value will shrink significantly. Mr. Philip may think that his signing of the next Jordan will bring another breakthrough to Nike, but the contract I want to tell him will be a bomb."

"Bill Russell played basketball for 13 years and retired at the age of 35. His rebounds in the last season were not 10. Wilt Chamberlain played 14 years. He retired at the age of 36. The scoring madman could only score 13.2 points in his last season. Hakeem Olajuwon played 17 years and retired at the age of 38. But when he was 36, he averaged 10 points per game. The equally outstanding gorilla Patrick Ewing could only score 9.6 points and 7.4 rebounds when he was 36. Admiral David Robinson, who is still playing, was exactly 36 years old last year, but he only scored last year.

Scoring 12 points and 8 rebounds, the longest-time center in NBA history is Jabbar. He can still score 18 points when he was 36 years old, but when he was 37, he only scored 13 points. When he retired at the age of 40, he averaged only 7 points per game. No animal in the world can escape the invasion of time. Even Kwame. Brown is outstanding, he cannot stop the years from leaving scars on him. After Kwame. Brown is 35 years old, he will be greeted by the same booing as Patrick Ewing in New York that year, and Nike will have to pay tens of millions for Kwame. Brown.”

"As for Kwame Brown can win several championship rings, it is too early to talk about this now. Although I agree with Kwame Brown's strength, if you want to win a championship, you need to have enough helpers and have enough luck to win a ring. As strong as Elgin Baylor has scored 8 times, and his helpers around him have changed one after another, but he has always missed the championship. Zhang Dashuai, who once averaged 50.4 points per game, was also empty-handed that season. Even if Kwame Brown will be as strong as these two people in the future, if he lacks some luck, he may still not get a ring."

....

Some people are envious of this contract, some are jealous of it, some are criticizing it, and some are appreciating it, but I know that Nike made a lot of money this time, maybe my personal achievements are not as good as Michael Jordan, but I am reborn as I am destined to be the richest man in the world. With this one, I will have countless fans who dream of becoming a monetary. Even if I can't win the championship, just relying on the sneakers endorsed by the world's richest man, it can bring endless profits to Nike. What's more, I also know the draft situation in the next n years, and I can choose the best players with the most suitable signing position. I can guarantee that the team's combat effectiveness will always be at its peak in the next ten years, and I can lead the team to win enough championships. Nike will definitely make a lot of money this time.

Although I was unwilling to accept it, I had to sign this contract. If I wanted to maximize my interests in this contract, all I could do was to completely acquire Nike, so that Nike would make profits my profit, at least a large part of the profit.

Nike gave me a signing fee of 500,000 yuan, and an 8 million salary of 8 million yuan. After deducting various taxes and paying the broker's fees, I only had 5.8 million US dollars left. After getting this part of the money, I started to slowly buy Nike's stocks in my shareholder account, slowly eating Nike's shares bit by bit. This is a huge project, but I have enough patience.

This incident made Ivanka. Trump feel that she needs to monitor my personal investment behavior in case something like a breach of contract happens again. In addition, she herself feels that she is suspected of making a vase on the "Apprentice" reality show, so she decided to stay and manage my personal investment matters for me (separate from Super Brown Investments).

Computer technology is coming step by step, and the Internet era is beginning to slowly exude its own beauty. I have countless investment projects in my heart, and I have no time, no money, and not enough people to help me. A large number of prides born in this era, such as Tencent, youtube, Alibaba, Facebook, etc., are buried deep in my mind. With Ivanka, Trump, an economic expert who has been playing stocks since he was 6 years old, help me, my name will definitely appear on the list of shareholders of wealth giants born in the new era.

I am full of hope for the future and full of hope for the acquisition of Nike.

In March, like last year, the game began to be full of gunpowder. The teams that were still wandering outside the playoff threshold were frantically struggling. The teams that had already won playoffs were working hard in every game for a home advantage. Only those like the Cavaliers, Bulls, and Nuggets began their journey of tying and striving for the No. 1 pick.

After solving the Nike incident, my condition quickly rebounded, and the Wizards' condition also began to rebound. In the past 8 games, I have achieved 6 wins and two losses. In the 65 games so far, the Wizards have won 41 wins and 24 losses, surpassing the Indiana Pacers, which have recently had a poor record and ranked second in the Eastern Conference.

The New Jersey Nets ranked first in the Eastern Conference. After losing to the Wizards at home, they knew their shame and braved them. They actually won 8 consecutive games, currently 44 wins and 21 losses. They have always performed very well before the All-Star Game. The good Indiana Pacers were in a slump after the All-Star Game and lost nine games in a row. They once ranked Jermaine O'Neal, the best in the Eastern Conference in December and January, played poorly, allowing the Pacers' head coach Isaiah Thomas to be furious and kept spraying swear words when facing reporters, but this cannot change the Indiana Pacers have slipped from the throne of the East, 40 wins and 25 losses. This is their recent record. If the Indiana Pacers cannot adjust their state quickly, they will not go far in the playoffs.

The 76ers also had impotence in the playoffs, and the 76ers were no longer as brave as the first half of the season. In the two weeks when Allen Iverson was injured in a wrist, they shamefully lost 7 games. Their record has now dropped to fifth in the Eastern Conference. The fourth is the Detroit Pistons. They are still lukewarm after the All-Star game. They win the games they should win and lose the games they should lose. The current record is 39 wins and 26 losses, the Orleans Hornets ranked sixth in 34 wins and 31 losses, the Boston Celtics ranked seventh in 33 wins and 32 losses, and the eighth place is the Orlando Magic, which also achieved 33 wins and 32 losses, and the Ninth place is the New York Knicks, which has 30 wins and 35 losses. If nothing unexpected happens, the Eastern Conference playoffs will be produced from these 9 teams.

In the West, the Spurs, Kings and Mavericks continue to stand firm. These three teams are now hard to solve, with a record of 48 wins and 17 losses, with a winning rate of more than 70. If nothing unexpected happens, these three teams are likely to win 60 games at the end of the regular season. The four teams, Los Angeles Lakers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Portland Trail Blazers, and Utah Jazz, form the second group in the West. Their current winning games are 41 wins, 40 wins, 40 wins, and 39 wins. If nothing unexpected happens, these seven teams will definitely enter the playoffs. The eighth place is the Phoenix Suns, their record is 34 wins, the ninth place is the 33-win Houston Rockets, and the tenth place is the 33-win Seattle Supersonics. The three teams will strive to enter the last place to enter the playoffs.

Michael Jordan and Doug Collins are very happy and smile every day. Although I have issued a military order: I must enter the Eastern Conference Finals, it seems that they still have never thought of such a good result in this year's regular season, second in the Eastern Conference, which is the best regular season ranking for the Wizards in the past 20 years. The team's record has improved, and there are more fans on the scene. Almost every game there was a scene from the playoffs last year. The commentators of each game gradually began to lose their jobs. They began to discuss our opponents and discuss what kind of opponents they encountered to be more beneficial to us.

The players became more and more relaxed and played better and better in the game. Doug Collins began to slowly adjust the pace, gradually reduce the time for the main players to play, and start to increase the time for the substitute players to play, and everything is preparing for the playoffs.

Game after game, the hour hand turned to March 10. The Wizards welcomed the Phoenix Suns at home, a team that is struggling for the playoffs, and this day is my 21st birthday.
