Chapter 99 Scour James’ Wool! Gu Yu’S Decision 2!
“ANTA and Li Ning of Longguo have both quoted for you. ANTA is 30 million US dollars in 3 years, and Li Ning is 18 million US dollars in 2 years, but I am very doubtful about their strength.”
ANTA and Li Ning are not well-known at this time.
In Bill Duffy’s eyes, it can only be regarded as a small brand.
It is far inferior to the tall ones from Hook, Adi and other brands.
“I know you’re also looking for a shoe contract that’s not inferior to LeBron, but even the third offer from these shoe makers is likely to be $8-10 million.
“More than $10 million is basically impossible.”
“I know you are very unwilling, but as you can see from Yao, the price of Long Guo’s big man in the market is indeed not high.”
“This is something that can’t be helped. After all, the pricing power is in the hands of the major sneaker manufacturers. I will do my best for you! 35
In the hands of major sneaker manufacturers!?
Bill Duffy’s words reminded Gu Yu.
The hook once established a personal brand A cone for the Joe Gang master.
Before Gu Yu crossed, it was said that Under Armour also wanted to set up his own personal sneaker brand for Curry.
Although in terms of the honors he has achieved so far, Gu Yu can’t compare to Joe and the future Curry.
But now Gu Yu is famous enough!
Lead the Cowboys to create a NCAA victory.
The three champions duel, scored 50 points, and hit the lore at the same time.
Let the Celtics give up all honors and succeed in the 2004 No. 1 pick.
Overturned the dream team, won the Olympic gold medal..
It can be said that Gu Yu’s reputation today is no less than that of Curry in the future.
MA…
Who can’t get along with money?
“Bill, what if I set up a personal sneaker brand too?
“Four Six Zero” Bill Duffy fell into silence for a moment, obviously he was also surprised by Gu Yu’s thoughts.
After a while, Bill Duffy’s voice came from the other side of the phone again.
“Gu, your thoughts are really…it’s a little crazy!”
“I admit that with your current influence, it is indeed possible to establish a personal brand.
“But have you thought through the consequences of doing so?”
“Now in the NBA, only one person has his own brand of sneakers, and that is Michael Jordan!”
“Once you actually set up a personal sneaker brand, you will definitely get a lot of criticism, and most players will be jealous of you.”5
“Are you sure, you can handle this?’
“Bill, our dragon country has a saying, ‘If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight’, for all this, I have already prepared in my heart.
“Michael Jordan can rule an era with strength, and so can I!
Hearing Gu Yu’s confident words, Bill Duffy was also full of confidence at this time.
“Gu, your idea is good, but this is a big project, ranging from LOGO design to sneaker design and media operation, it’s not easy to accomplish! 99
Setting up a personal sneaker brand may seem simple, but it is actually quite difficult.
However, Gu Yu has long planned: “So, this requires us to find people, or find brands to cooperate with.
“Hook, brother, I’m afraid you won’t agree. Which manufacturer are you looking for?”
“The manufacturer of Meijia is not good, why not find the manufacturer of Longguo?”
“what do you mean……”
After hanging up with Bill Duffy, he knew it was time to get busy again.
Whether it’s the following various advertising endorsements or personal sneaker brand matters, Gu Yu is busy enough.
But Gu Yu is now thinking more about how to upgrade.
Gu Yu still has some shortcomings.
First of all, Gu Yu’s offensive area is within the NBA’s three-point line, and the current three-point shooting rate is indeed not high.
And Gu Yu’s current style of play is a typical big-core game with the ball, and his ability without the ball is relatively poor.
Gu Yu is now considering whether to upgrade his high post.
Post-up singles, in fact, carefully divided, can be divided into high post, mid-range post and low post.
If it is said that the low position is a high-efficiency killer.
Then, in addition to attacking, the high post can also be used as an axis at a high position, connect teammates, and support the organization.
The most typical representative players are Garnett, Chris Webber, and the old driver.
The mid-range post is the axis of attack.
Players hold the ball in the middle distance and have a variety of attack options, which means that players are social melons.
Once the social melon casts a mid-range back, he has a variety of attacking options.
Whether it is turning over from behind, breaking through the low post and rushing to the basket, or facing the basket for three-threat singles, you can choose at will.
Three-point shooting Gu Yu also wants to upgrade, but it is a little embarrassing that Curry has not participated in the Olympics.
Although the old driver and gentleman Lei’s three-pointers are also very accurate, the strongest three-pointer in history is still Curry.
Gu Yu began to pick and choose among all the players that could be selected.
Finally, a skill comes into view.
[King Kong is not bad: Immune to 90% of injuries! 】
Magical skill!
That’s what Gu Yu has to say about this skill.
In the original history, there are too many players who have retired in the NBA because of injuries.
‘Yellow Mamba’ Brandon Roy, Dayao, and even Kobe suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon.
And the owner of this skill is Cleveland’s chosen son, LeBron James.
Although James has a career, he is often criticized by fans.
But in terms of attendance, it’s really scary!
Although Gu Yu has no problem with attendance at present, it will be a long journey for a season after he really arrives in the NBA.
Who can guarantee not to get hurt?
Gu Yu did not hesitate, and directly chose ‘King Kong is not bad’.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining LeBron James’ skill King Kong is not bad! 】
After selecting King Kong Not Bad, Gu Yu began to hesitate to upgrade the three-pointer.
Neither mid-range post-up nor high post-up is what he needs most at the moment.
Although in this era, power forwards shoot three-pointers, it is indeed a bit of an alternative.
However, Gu Yu felt that he still needed to have three-point range.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting Ray Allen’s three-point talent! 】
[Ding! The host’s three-point shooting talent has been upgraded to 97! 】

After the upgrade was completed, Gu Yu went to find Dayao again.
In order to deal with his own contract endorsement, Dayao established the Yao team.
Now that Gu Yu wants to set up his own sneaker brand, it is definitely not enough to rely on Bill Duffy alone.
Hearing that Gu Yu was going to form his own team of feathers, Dayao was not surprised and helped Gu Yu to start introducing some suitable personnel.
When Gu Yu was dealing with the feather team, the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympics was about to be held.
at the closing ceremony.
Rogge announced the closing of the Olympic Games, and the flame was slowly extinguished.
The Athens Olympics are officially over!
Harris said to everyone: “It is my greatest luck to be able to coach you.”
“Yi, you are very talented, but you still need to grow up, keep your beliefs simple, and don’t have the slightest hesitation!”
“Yao, your future is bright, whether it’s the NBA or the international arena.”5
“As for Gu…
When it came to Gu Yu, Harrison paused, then said, “You’re already making your own legend! I’m honored to coach you!
“Now! It’s time to part! Longguo men’s basketball team disbanded! 35
Although Ah Lian, Dayao, Zhu Ba and others were reluctant to part, they also knew that the time had come.
After leaving Athens, Gu Yu did not return to the beautiful home immediately.
He came to Dragon Country with Bill Duffy.
Bill Duffy has contacted Li Ning and ANTA in advance.
Both vendors have expressed interest in working with Gu Yu.
There is no way.
After winning the gold medal, Gu Yu’s influence in the Dragon Kingdom was so great.
It took half a month to completely set up the Feather Team, Gu Yu took the Feather Team and Bill Duffy to start an interview with Li Ning and ANTA.
There are two types of cooperation agreements between Gu Yu and the Feather Team.
One is equivalent to technology investment.
For example, let’s say Gu Yu and ANTA team up to set up a sneaker brand.
What ANTA wants to make a comeback is a professional design and production line.
The cost of publicity, advertising, and even the production of a pair of sneakers requires Gu Yu to pay for it.
The other is completely divided.
Design, production, and promotion all require Gu Yu to worry about.
Gu Yu only has the right to share the profit after the sale.
From the point of view of peace of mind, the second one is definitely better.
It doesn’t need Gu Yu to worry about it after all…
But the shortcomings are also obvious, Gu Yu’s shares are definitely not as good as the first one.
Moreover, the current development of ANTA and Li Ning is obviously not as good as that of Hook, Adi and other brands.
Speaking of propaganda, it might be fine in the Dragon Kingdom, but what about in the beautiful home?
Gu Yu actually tends to be the first.
Li Ning or ANTA technology shares, responsible for production and design.
Publicity and production costs are the responsibility of Gu Yu.
Li Ning didn’t want to talk about the first type directly, they were more inclined to the second type.
And they have certain requirements, which makes Gu Yu very resistant.
There must be one in the contract.
Gu Yu shall not participate in brand operation.
Li Ning’s opinion is that although Gu Yu is an excellent athlete, he is still too young and must not understand the operation of the company.
Once you point fingers at the brand, you might ruin the future of the brand yourself.
What can Gu Yu say about this?
Did he say that he was a transmigrator?
Does he know which players will shine in the NBA in the future?
Therefore, as long as he signs a few more contracts, will he be able to make more money then?
Negotiations with ANTA were relatively smooth.
However, the two sides have been wrangling for a while about technology investment.
ANTA wants technology to take 35% of the shares, and Gu Yu kills 30%.
Finally, considering Gu Yu’s influence, ANTA agreed to take a 30% stake.
And the two sides want to design and produce the first pair of Gu Yu’s personal sneakers as soon as possible.
After finalizing everything, Bill Duffy sighed to Gu Yu: “Gu! Congratulations! You will have your own sneaker brand from today!”5
“However, I have a question, although you have finalized the design and production of sneakers, how do you deal with brand promotion next?
To a certain extent, brand promotion is the most important.
Whether it is advertising, or newspaper propaganda, it is not a small expense.
Although Gu Yu is now earning a lot of money, after signing a contract with the Celtics, he has gained a lot of endorsements.
But it is still difficult to afford the cost of publicity.
“Bill, sometimes, we don’t necessarily have to promote it ourselves, the media may help me promote it in different ways!
Bill Duffy:???
Change the pattern to help you promote?
Does Ning think Ning is the father of the media?
Looking at Bill Duffy with a confused face, Gu Yu didn’t explain too much.
“Then you will see what I do!
When Bill Duffy heard Gu Yu’s answer, he began to look forward to it.
In the 2004-05 season, the regular season opener was on November 2, but there were preseason games before that.
There is also a preseason training camp, so in early October, Gu Yu took his first pair of individual sneakers and set foot on a plane to Boston.
Before getting on the plane, Gu Yu called Barkley.
“Charles, are you interested in helping me stream My Decision 2?”
What!?
#2!?
When Barkley answered the phone at 4.4, the shock on his face was hard to hide.
Gu Yu’s decision 1 has already been viewed by 15 million people.
Now Gu Yu beat the Dream Team and won another Olympic gold medal.
At this time, if there is a decision 2…
Barkley can already imagine that Gu Yu decides 2’s explosive ratings.
“Yes! I am very interested!
“But I’d really like to know, Gu your decision 2, what exactly is the decision?”
“This is a decision about my career, not my life! Now let me keep it a secret!
Life decision!?
Barkley instantly smelled the big news.
The next day, the headlines of the Meijia sports section became Gu Yu’s decision 2.
ESPN: Gu Yu’s Decision 2! A Decision About Life!
Sports Illustrated: Olympic Champion Live Decision 2! What’s he going to do?
LA Times: Gu Yu’s Decision 2! How much will the ratings break?
New York, NBA headquarters.
Stern looked at Decision 2, which attracted the attention of Quan Meijia, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“This Gu Yu, always makes big news, but it’s also good…”
After all, Gu Yu is also an NBA player, and the more attention he receives, the greater the benefits the NBA gets.
Boston.
After the cardinal knew the news, he was also stunned.
Decision 2!?
Life decision!?
what’s going on!?
The Cardinal then called Gu Yu and asked about Gu Yu’s decision 2.
“Mr. Auerbach can rest assured that this decision has nothing to do with the Celtics. I will keep the specific information secret now, and you will know when the time comes!”
