You'd better wrap me

Chapter 79 The Real Butterfly Effect

On the afternoon of the [-]th, the University of Southern California team boarded the plane back to Los Angeles. The staff reminded that if you don’t have a DV or camera, you can buy it at the airport and use it to record the grand occasion after leaving the airport. The school will reimburse the expenses.

It can also be regarded as a zero-yuan purchase in a sense.

Roddick and others were not too relieved, and said that Los Angeles is not like a small place like Storrs, Connecticut. It has witnessed the Lakers' three consecutive championships, and it has also witnessed UCLA and other teams winning championships. Up to several thousand.

The plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport at five o'clock. Su Yang led the team out of the hall, and saw a large crowd of people.

Screams and cheers broke out, and the security personnel tried their best to clear the way. Su Yang reluctantly led the team onto the championship parade truck.I thought there would be more people at the airport, but the nearly 20-kilometer journey from the airport to the school was full of fans.

"This is the brightest moment of my basketball career..."

Roddick kept talking about it, but he couldn't buy a DV at the airport. In the end, he simply bought one from the fans and frantically took photos of fans, old and young, who wanted to take home and develop all the photos and pass them on as family souvenirs.

The fans shouted 'Su Yang' wave after wave, and some female fans were holding Su Yang's high-level humanity stand, chasing the parade truck all the way topless, and the CAPD just came out and forcibly tortured people away. Another streaking fan coming soon.

The truck drove all the way to the school, and drove directly into the widest football field to celebrate. The stage had already been set.

Su Yang took the lead in speaking, performed various shows, and the celebration lasted until midnight, and some fans went to UCLA to mock.

In the early morning of the next day, Su Yang called Erin Andrews: "I officially signed up for this year's draft today. This is based on the first-hand news of our acquaintance. I will choose what brand of sneakers to endorse in the future. You broke the news, I suggest that you build your own personal network homepage in addition to hosting and interviewing, cultivate yourself into a well-known commentator like Bill Simmons, and cooperate with ESPN or other TV stations instead of hiring and being hired relation…"

During the conversation, Erin asked with a smile: "Why do you want to give me career development advice? Do you want to go further?"

"It's good now. I like an open relationship. Anyway, if I want to break the news, I'll let you benefit." Su Yang didn't want to develop further. Apart from giving suggestions, he also cultivated a spokesperson for his own TV station, which was mutually beneficial.

Don't be like stars like Harden, who will be smeared by crazy revelations because of leaving the team or trading, and will be detained regardless of the truth. You can even set up a media company to lead a whole world before LeBron and Durant. wave tide.

Hanging up the phone, Su Yang drove straight to Venice Beach and made an appointment for breakfast with Old Hicks. There were a few people including Yue Stephenson, but those guys hadn't woken up yet. It was because of Su Yang that he won the championship. In the name of, have a little fun.

Old Hicks said: "There is a businessman who wants to take over the league, and the asking price is quite generous. I am reluctant to sell it, but the fastest growing node of the league's revenue has passed, and the competition is getting bigger and bigger. It is already difficult to give Stephen Sen and the others increased their appearance fees.

What do you recommend? "

He had heard old Hicks talk about the difficulties faced by the streetball league before. Su Yang had already thought about the solution and had a plan.

"The Internet age has arrived, and we can shift our focus to online promotion, find ways to shoot some short films with explosive effects, and then publish them on major basketball forums and video websites. Such cooperation, exchanging popularity for advertising expenses, in short, expanding ideas, don't be limited to venue revenue..."

"It seems to be a good way..." Old Hicks' eyes lit up immediately, and he shook his head again: "But where can I find someone who can shoot, edit and promote? According to what you said, it is best to set up a company to carry out Operations, right?"

"Correct!"

Su Yang nodded, "I invested 20 in the initial stage. You go to set up a company, recruit people to manage and operate, and sign Stevenson to the company. If they retire in the future, they can continue to work in the company or work part-time. ..."

During the conversation, Su Yang fully elaborated his ideas. The ultimate goal is to become a brand like Hupu Lurenwang. He can even use his relationship with NBA players to form a BIG3 alliance. It doesn't matter how much money he makes, the key is to expand his influence.

After listening to Su Yang's explanation, the old Hicks thought for a long time, and then said: "Okay! I will take the lead in handling this matter, and my life will be worth it when I grow up and succeed." I thought that I had a chance to surpass Locke Park Influence is worth fighting for.

Su Yang smiled and nodded: "Anyway, don't worry about money. I'm about to start sneaker endorsement negotiations, and I'm very likely to sign a contract with Pepsi. In short, it's not short of money. Don't limit your thinking because of money..."

The endorsement fee for Corona beer is 100 million US dollars, and the money has not been transferred yet. The main reason is that the Pelinka brothers are helping to organize the company and foundation.

Subsequent endorsement of sneakers and Pepsi and other products, the endorsement fees obtained are also transferred to their own companies, and then invest in Internet companies such as Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, WhatsApp, etc., and then buy Apple's stock at low prices, waiting for the appreciation to go public and make a fortune.

When you become a $50 billion rich man, you can retire and buy a team for fun. Recruiting LeBron and Westbrook to play together in advance will definitely make you feel happy. By the way, invest hundreds of millions of dollars to start a purely professional league in China and strengthen the Chinese men's basketball team. .

You can even try to engage in national football.

Anyway, life is more than eating, drinking and having fun.

During the communication and discussion, after breakfast, Stevenson and others came late. First, they congratulated Su Yang for winning the championship, and then listened to the old Hicks explain the plan. I understand, the main thing is to trust Su unconditionally."

Su Yang clapped hands one by one upon hearing this.

In the blink of an eye, at noon, ESPN host Erin Andrews announced on the program that Su Yang officially participated in the draft, and major basketball forums started a new round of ideas. Among them, the fans of the Magic, Bulls, and Wizards were particularly excited.

"Don't trade McGrady. Grant Hill will come back next season. After Su Yang is selected, he can form the strongest three Musketeers in the league. Anyway, they will be better than the Mavericks. Take advantage of Su Yang's rookie bonus and find another blue-collar center. , definitely win the championship."

"If we get the No. [-] pick, Gilbert Arenas, Larry Hughes, Jerry Stackhouse, all three of them will be sent away, and we will try to trade the pick down. It is best to get Howard, but we can't get it. Howard will choose Okafor or Iguodala, Josh Smith is also fine, at worst I will switch to the protected first round in the next few years, with Su Yang as the core..."

"If we get the No. [-] lottery and pick Su Yang, Jamal Crawford won't take it. He can't beat Su Yang who was a sophomore in high school. Except for Tyson Chandler, they can all be sent away. Build the team around Su Yang."

At the same time as various plans were being made, Su Yang formally provided materials to the NBA office. By the way, he checked the candidates of the same year, thinking to see if he could miss a strong undrafted pick. At that time, he could recruit a team to help him win better and higher. champion.

Looking at the list of rankings, I felt something was wrong. Looking carefully, it turned out that Livingston did not appear on the list, and the well-known Korean center Ha Seung-jin did not appear on the list. Considering that the registration deadline has not yet expired, Google immediately.

[Livingston, the second-ranked five-star high school student in Rivals, promised to join Duke University. He will join Redick and Sheldon Williams, who promised to stay on the team, to hit the national championship next season. He is 201 centimeters tall ...]

Staring at the news, Su Yang felt emotional: This butterfly effect is quite strong, maybe this way Li Wen will not be seriously injured.

I didn't bother to think about it, so I went back to the base for training.

Coach Henry has returned to work. He was a little surprised to see Su Yang running in. He smiled and said, "Shouldn't you start your endorsement journey? Just like LeBron James did last year, before the draw was held, he would be frantically contested." Rob…"

Su Yang said with a smile: "Let me help you look at this year's enrollment, EM... This guy named Nick Young, you have to set the rules for him first. I met him in the field before. He has a relatively independent style of play. If he doesn't listen, you will move me out."

"He didn't listen and said you would blow him up in the future?"

"I think it works."

While talking and laughing, Su Yang circled a few local high school students in California for the team, and by the way proposed to recruit Farmer. Anyway, with his AAU teammates back then, it shouldn’t be too much trouble, and Farmer was still a leader in college. very suitable.

After the recruitment is done, train as usual.

Coach Henry, Phil and other assistant coaches were full of admiration, and they all felt that Su Yang could still calm down and keep training.

NO.14 in a blink of an eye.

At the end of the NBA03-04 season, LeBron led the Cavaliers, surpassed the Celtics thrillingly, and entered the playoffs with 36 wins. On the spot, he hugged Boozer, who promised to re-sign the Cavaliers for a long time in the summer, and broke the two Rumors of disagreement.

The elder Hicks and the Pelinka brothers also completed the company registration. Su Yang took Rob Pelinka to Palo Alto, Northern California, and found Mark Zuckerberg who was building Facebook in a small rental building. Ready to invest.

Unexpectedly, Zuckerberg bluntly said that he had received a $50 investment from Peter Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal, and that he would not be short of money or contacts in the future. He politely declined Su Yang's investment intention, and was even a little impatient.

Su Yang also suggested that he could give some advice as a product manager, but Zuckerberg was not interested and said he wanted to control it himself.

After playing around, I didn't vote in the end.

Su Yang returned to Los Angeles with half a point of shock. After thinking about it, he decided to start the sneaker endorsement negotiation in advance. With the timeline changing and the butterfly effect already occurring, he had to keep the basic basketball market first, and let go of investment first.

　Ask for votes.
