Chapter 441 Sneaker Brand
In November in San Francisco, the weather turns slightly cooler.

Outside the villa area close to the sea, the Binhai Boulevard is built along the water, with palm trees towering into the sky on both sides.

Here you can see the beautiful bay view, the Bay Bridge, the cityscape, and the newly opened San Francisco Exhibition Hall.

The home of the San Francisco Giants baseball team, AT&T Ballpark, is located at the southern end of Coastal Boulevard.

This is also the location of Qin Fei's new home. He bought a new house on the coast as his new real estate investment.

In the parking lot outside Qin Fei's villa, all kinds of luxury cars gathered.

In the living room where he specially used to receive guests, the staff in suits and leather shoes checked the contract for the last time, and then pushed the contract to the man sitting opposite.

"There is no doubt, you can take a look."

Da Ben pretended to lift up the contract, looked at it twice, and nodded frequently.

In the living room, besides Da Ben, there was a man and a woman sitting next to each other on the sofa in the distance.

Qin Fei poured the brewed tea into a small-caliber bowl and handed it to Lin Xuanyi.

"Boss Lin, drink some tea."

Lin Xuanyi sat in a dignified lady, and smiled lightly when she heard this: "Since when did you like making tea?"

She took Qin Fei's tea politely, put it on her lips, and sipped it lightly.

The two haven't seen each other for some time.

Lin Xuanyi has officially graduated from university, but after finishing her undergraduate studies, she chose to study in graduate school while still taking care of her Simil clothing company.

The company's profits in the past few years have been very good. With the help of Lin Xuanyi's design concept, it has gradually become a second- and third-tier brand.

Then, under Qin Fei's instruction, Lin Xuanyi and Qin Fei each contributed 50.00% to create a new sports shoe brand in China.

The name of the sneaker brand is "Yi Fei", which is taken from the end of the names of the two behind-the-scenes bosses.

There is also the concept that it is easy to fly after wearing it.

This time I came to San Francisco because under Qin Fei's needlework, "Yi Fei" reached a sneaker contract signing agreement with Warriors' Ben Wallace.

After Daben became famous, although his personal data was very good, he was not a contract partner chosen by many brands.

After all, compared to Daben, a super scorer like Qin Fei is a more popular idol player, so Daben's market value in the sneaker market is not high.

Qin Fei suggested that the first NBA player signed by "Yi Fei" was Ben Wallace.

After the negotiation, the contract was finally reached at a price of 5 million U.S. dollars for 1500 years, and the average sneaker salary reached 300 million U.S. dollars per year.

This is not too low. Most NBA players only have usage rights or basic sponsorship fees, but no signing fees.

This price has reached the level of endorsement.

Daben had a brief discussion with his agent, and found that there was nothing much to modify, so he quickly completed the signing.

After signing the contract, Daben stood up and shook hands with the manager who was in charge of signing the contract.

Afterwards, there were other staff members who took pictures, took pictures, and recorded videos, leaving behind a bunch of video and video materials, all of which will be publicized and reported to the outside world after a suitable time.

After all, signing NBA stars is to make their products sell better.

Da Ben looked back at Qin Fei and Lin Xuanyi who were sitting in the sofa area over there, and found that the two behaved intimately, talking and laughing.

He was a little puzzled, because he had seen Helena before, and had participated in the team's group activities many times, how could a beautiful beauty appear now, and she seemed to have a close relationship with Qin Fei.

Lin Xuanyi's dress today is still very fashionable. A plaid skirt that is a little above the knee length is paired with warm black pantyhose to set off the charm of the plaid pattern. The upper body is a clean white shirt, covered with a slender wine red windbreaker, which reveals a kind of elegance and sophistication in leisure.

Among Qin Fei's best female friends, Lin Xuanyi is the one with the most varied styles and the most particular about her clothes. She is probably also a fashion designer herself, so she is quite bold and wild in her heart, daring to try and control different styles.

She also put on light makeup, and the corners of her bright eyes were always facing Qin Fei.

The two are partners in the business field, and their relationship with each other has always been relatively ambiguous, a bit more senior than friends, but not yet lovers.

It seems that both of them are quite satisfied with the status quo. Feeling the pressure of life and work, or some troublesome things encountered, they will find each other and simply talk to each other.

"I thought you would recommend some handsome boys to sign, but I didn't expect to find Da Ben, who is stronger than you."

The two communicated in Chinese, and Lin Xuanyi saw that Da Ben had signed the contract.

"How do you know he's stronger than me?"

Qin Fei asked back.

Qin Fei naturally had his own ideas when he signed with Daben. The initial idea was that Daben is relatively "cheap" now, and he can play with him for a few more years, and his peak period is still many years away, so he doesn't have to worry about not being well-known.

Although the other young stars are attractive in style, the target of sneaker promotion must first be determined.

If you are a fan in the Asian region, then as Qin Fei's teammate, in fact, this important status is already more important than other prerequisites.

"Isn't that obvious?"

Mr. Lin gestured, "He is obviously much older than you."

She was talking about size, but Qin Fei obviously wanted to go wrong again, and looked at Lin Xuanyi with even more surprised eyes.

Lin Xuanyi was inexplicably looked at by him, and only then did she react when she saw his wretched expression.

"I'm going to die, I'm talking about a big guy!"

She stretched out her hand and hit Qin Fei.

Qin Fei didn't dodge either. This kind of attack would probably be impossible to break his defense, just like scratching an itch.

Seeing that Qin Fei didn't dodge, Lin Xuanyi felt rather annoyed.

It's not really annoying him, anyway, it's not the first time Qin Fei has gone racing.

"By the way, how long will you stay this time?"

Qin Fei asked.

He knew that although Lin Xuanyi was going to graduate school, she must have a lot of moisture in going to graduate school. The main purpose was to obtain a degree diploma. In fact, the focus of her work had long been on the company.

"What's the matter? I can stay for a long time. San Francisco is good. I like this city very much."

Lin Xuanyi mistakenly thought that Qin Fei was going to "drive" her away, so she snorted coldly and didn't respond positively.

There was a discrepancy in the communication between the two, but neither of them realized it by themselves. Qin Fei thought to himself that he was still throwing away the shopkeeper, thinking that he had really transformed into a strong woman.

After completing a series of tasks, Da Ben came to Qin Fei with his agent.

"The away game will start tomorrow. I will go back today. After the away game is over, on the day of the public release, there will be a celebration party."

Qin Fei made arrangements early in the morning. Today is just the signing, and the promotion and the first-generation signature sneakers will be the highlight later.

Originally, they all thought that they should also publicize the signing.

However, Qin Fei felt that it would be more explosive to launch it all at once, which is called "explosive publicity". After the public knows that you have signed a contract, then there is not much expectation for further promotion and publicity.

This is the same as when celebrities are exposed to be ambiguous, fall in love, and obtain marriage certificates. If you follow the steps, you will not be able to make headlines at all. You can only make big headlines directly, such as "Yes, we have a child", which will surely be the headlines.

Now Qin Fei is teaching them this way of seizing public resources, which is nearly 20 years ahead, although most of them don't understand Qin Fei's routine.

"It's fine anyway, I'll listen to you, you are my boss now."

Daben knew that Qin Fei had a stake in the newly signed sneaker brand. He was planning to sign with Nike at the beginning, but Nike didn’t have much resources to promote it, and he was unwilling to design a signature series of personal sneakers for him. He was also not satisfied with the amount. In the end, under Qin Fei’s strong invitation, he signed the "Easy Fei" brand.

At that time in the NBA, many stars would sign various brands. For example, Grant Hill was still a player under Fila, and it was not surprising to sign a niche brand.

There are precedents.

Qin Fei was very happy when he was called "boss", but he rejected the title with a serious face: "We are all brothers. It is too strange to say that the boss is not the boss."

The two walked out shoulder to shoulder.

Qin Fei has been sending Daben outside, and there is a Hummer outside that Daben bought last year, which really fits his character very well.

"Now that the contract is signed, I'm ready to leave."

Qin Fei turned his head back and saw that Lin Xuanyi and the team she brought had packed up their things and were about to leave.

"Hey, why are you in a hurry? Isn't it still early? I'm going to treat you to dinner tonight."

Big Ben smiled and watched the two talking.

Lin Xuanyi waved her hand: "Don't make an appointment tonight. You have to play away tomorrow. I'm in San Francisco for the past two days. I can make an appointment later."

When she came out, she was grinning, her bright eyes seemed to be able to speak.

She saw that Da Ben had been staring at her, and her heart moved slightly.

Then suddenly opened his arms towards Qin Fei.

Ok?
Ok?
Lin Xuanyi raised one foot slightly, tiptoed to hug Qin Fei, and then kissed Qin Fei on the cheek under the eyes of everyone.

shit
Qin Fei:? ? ?
Big Ben, his agent, and Lin Xuanyi's team were all in chaos.

"Crooked, Mr. Xu, yes, I will send you an email right away."

"Yes boss, I have received it, and I will deal with it now."

Lin Xuanyi's team had good eyesight. They yawned one by one, as if they hadn't seen anything. They answered the phone, chatted and walked out of the courtyard one by one.

Da Ben looked at the two of them in surprise, feeling that his brain wasn't spinning very fast.

It wasn't until Lin Xuanyi left shaking her bow-knotted ponytail that he came back to his senses with an "oh", and then showed Qin Fei a "he understands" expression.

Qin Fei calmly said: "Ben, can you listen to my explanation?"

Da Ben had already opened the car door at this time, stepped on it, and said with a smile: "Brother, I wonder if you made a mistake. I have nothing to explain. I'm just your colleague."

I can't refute your words.
Qin Fei just felt that he should say something, social death came too fast, did the persona of a good boyfriend collapse like this?

Daben said mysteriously: "Don't worry, I'm keeping my mouth shut. This shitty thing won't be known to everyone. Besides, it's normal. Look at the new kid on the team (Reid), doesn't he have several girlfriends?"

"Your ex-teammates, the children of Camp's children can form football teams."

Daben's ability to demonstrate with examples is very strong, and the examples he gave made Qin Fei very dissatisfied.

This is all a mess.

"I understand, don't worry."

Da Ben rolled down the window, slapped Qin Fei, and then stepped on the accelerator abruptly, and the vehicle with heavy exhaust fumes rushed out.

"This guy, shouldn't he be talking nonsense?"

Qin Fei suddenly felt a little headache. Eating melons is very popular everywhere.

Yao Ming, who Chinese fans pay the most attention to, played three games in the first week.

The first game had 0 points and 2 rebounds. According to statistics, in the first game, a total of [-] million spectators at home and abroad watched the game. This data may be exaggerated, but it does prove from the side how much attention Yao Ming has received.

Yao Ming chose the No. 11 jersey. The red jersey of the Bulls instantly became the home team jersey in the hearts of the majority of fans.

This is the red complex in memory, which is too in line with the fans' preferences.

After the first game, there were many doubts. Then in the second game, Yao Ming's performance improved obviously. He scored 2 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist. He also only played 13 minutes. Of the 7 rebounds, 2 were offensive rebounds.

With this height and weight, one stop under the basket is already a natural lighthouse.

On Saturday night, Yao Ming performed even better. He played 24 minutes and scored 8 points and 4 rebounds. He was facing the Pacers. He also gave Jaylen Rose a strong defensive cap. If the Pacers kept Rick Schmitz, they would not be beaten like this.

Yao Ming's performance showed an upward trend.

Among the rookies this year, the overall performance is very average.

In addition to Yao Ming, the Bulls have another high-ranking rookie named No. [-] Mike Miller. His performance is obviously better than Yao Ming. In the first three games, he scored in double figures in two games. He showed the world with his precise outside shots. He is already a very mature shooter.

The Bulls' overall record is 2 wins and 1 loss, which is not bad.

In the second game week, the Warriors also began to lose. When facing the Kings away, the Kings played an impeccable offense, scoring 121 points and beating the defending champion Warriors 121-113.

The King won this game and successfully sent himself to the No. [-] throne in the Western Conference, while the Warriors' record dropped rapidly by several places.

In the beginning of the season, everyone's records were closely spaced.

The performance of the Kings team is remarkable, especially Webber, who scored 35 points and 16 rebounds on the Warriors, proving that he is still one of the best four positions in the league.

Two days later, the Lakers also lost the game, and the Kings became the only team in the Western Conference that hadn't lost a game.

Therefore, Webber became the league player of the week in the second week with an average of 30.3 points and 14.7 rebounds per game.

In the third week, the Kings lost to the Supersonics, ending their 7-game winning streak. Although at this time, like the Warriors, they only lost 1 game, but because they won the Warriors in the matchup, the Kings ranked first in the West, and the Warriors are currently ranked second in the West.

November 11, the last game of the third week.

The Kings lost 110 to 112 to the Los Angeles Lakers. In overtime, they were killed by Kobe Bryant and gave up the first place in the Western Conference.

The Warriors, which had lost the No. 8 for two weeks, regained the top spot with a record of 1 wins and [-] loss, leading the pack.
