As a Kobe hater, he was actually teammates with Kobe!

"Zhou, do you really think that a normal person can afford a balance bike? Have you investigated the market situation? Or do you simply think it's cool? And the most important question is how are you going to produce it?" Kobe looked at Zhou Ze as if he were an idiot.

"I know. The current market price of a balance bike is 2 US dollars. Even ordinary white-collar workers can't afford it, but that's because of the backward technology." Zhou Ze said calmly and confidently.

Product items of Segway GmbH.

Although many wealthy people in the United States have bought this, due to the immaturity of current technologies, such as: gyroscopes, acceleration sensors, electronic drives, etc.

This results in the extremely high cost of making balance bikes, with the current market price being US$2 per vehicle.

Even white-collar workers in large American companies can't afford it.

The most common place to see balance bikes is probably on golf courses.

Zhou Ze spent 1000 million US dollars to purchase the right to use the balance car patent for 25 years, which means it will expire in 2031.

But Segway has a prerequisite, which is that the products using these patents cannot compete with them for the US market.

Zhou Ze felt that this was a huge bargain.

You should know that after the Chinese company developed the relevant technology, the price of the balance bike was reduced from 2 US dollars to 2000 yuan, and later even dropped to 600 yuan.

In 2020, the market size of China's balance bikes reached 2000 billion.

In 2015, Segway sued a Chinese self-balancing car company for infringement. As a result, the domestic company spent about 10 billion US dollars to acquire it in full.

This $10 billion actually buys the patents and intellectual property rights of the balance bike.

Now I have successfully bought it for only 1000 million US dollars; most of this money comes from Zhou Ze's endorsement fees, such as diapers.

This is such a win for him.

In fact, it was not only Zhou Ze who thought he had won, but also Segway. They did not believe that China could afford a balance car that cost 2 US dollars.

After purchasing the patent, it is definitely necessary to build a factory to produce and commercialize it.

These things are actually not difficult for Zhou Ze.

You know, Zhou Ze not only has the "money power", but also has a system that can cheat.

We are currently planning to build an entrepreneurial team.

Starting from next season, Zhou Ze will officially terminate his contract with agent Rich Paul.

As the saying goes, the first thing you do when you get ashore is to kill your agent!

"Haha, Kobe, don't forget, I'm a top student."

"By the way, do you want to throw some money in?"

Zhou Ze did not explain too much to Kobe and the others, and used a half-joking tone to attract investment.

"never mind!"

"We don't have as many endorsement contracts as you do!"

Andrew Byram, dressed in a suit and tie, said with envy.

Just talking about the player's commercial value, Zhou Ze is definitely in the league's T1 tier, second only to James and Kobe.

Kobe saw that the balance bike issue was a done deal and the contract had been signed, so he didn't say anything more.

"Zhou, if you really want to invest, you might as well invest in real estate in Chicago." Suddenly, Darko Milicic thought of something and spoke.

Chicago real estate?

This made Zhou Ze think of the rose that withered before it even bloomed.

He is the real estate agent in Chicago and has provided housing for many Bulls rookies.

"Dake, have you forgotten that Zhou is not very interested in investing in real estate. He likes to invest in the technology industry." Kwame Brown said with a smile.

"No, no, no, I'm just not interested in Chinese real estate, but American real estate is still okay..." Zhou Ze shook his head quickly, and at the same time, he did not forget to glance at Darko Milicic.

I didn't expect this guy to have such a business mind.

As a reborn cheater, Zhou Ze would not invest in real estate even if he had money.

Even if I know how to play, I have no interest in doing it.

The technology industry is what Zhou Ze wants to enter.

There are also large physical supermarkets, such as "Pang Zelai".

but...

In order to accumulate initial capital, it is still possible to invest in real estate in the United States.

"Dake, where did you get this information?" Zhou Ze asked with a smile.

"In the financial management class, the financial management class arranged for us by the league. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, you have never been there." Darko Milicic couldn't help but teasing.

In order to prevent players from going bankrupt after retirement, the NBA arranges financial management courses and investment courses for young players.

Zhou Ze spent most of his time on training, so naturally he had no time to go.

However, since Darko Milicic was so optimistic about Chicago real estate after the class, I had to find a chance to listen.

...

...

on the other hand.

"What? You want to screen for me? Did I hear you right? Let me tell you, even if you screen for me, I will not invest in building a factory for you to produce balance bikes." Kobe looked at Zhou Ze suspiciously.

Firstly, Zhou Ze's pick-and-roll quality isn't particularly good. It's not that he can't hold onto his opponent, but rather that his offensive options after the pick-and-roll (roll down or out) aren't particularly well-executed. Well, by "not good" I mean, by Kobe Bryant's standards. But league-wide, he's still above average.

Secondly, he himself is not very willing to pick and roll.

Thirdly, the outside players usually play pick-and-roll tactics with the No. 5 position and the No. 4 position. Well, of course there are also pick-and-roll tactics, but the prerequisite is that the No. 5 position must be able to shoot three-pointers.

Otherwise, position 4 can only bounce out.

"Kobe, my understanding of pick-and-roll is no longer the same as before." Zhou Ze said with a smile.

"Okay, if we play with a five-small lineup, let's give it a try." Kobe was actually intrigued by Zhou Ze at this time.

Just after Zhou Ze won the Western Conference Player of the Week, he achieved a peak value of 800 points.

Peak Value: 2/598

Consume 2000 peak points and perform ten consecutive draws.

9 random attributes are enhanced to [Block] and increased to 85 (90).

With 5 free attributes, Zhou Ze once again strengthened [Explosive Power], raising it to 96 (110).
