Chapter 175 Influence determines everything
Although Wu Huang's idea is good, unfortunately the reality is a bit cruel. Today, the person opposite him is Kobe, who is famously petty. The boss walked into the stadium with the idea of beating him hard today. Let's see.
The "little mind" here is not a derogatory meaning, at least it is not used for Kobe, because he is not jealous of Emperor Wu, nor is he envious of others. The boss is just unhappy that Emperor Wu stole his ticket king and his limelight as soon as he entered the NBA.
Kobe's biggest enemy has been James until now, so he has always had a good impression of the young man Wu Huang. He felt that at least within three or two years, Wu Huang could not pose a real threat to him. After three or two years, he was 35 years old at that time, so he didn't care about Durant, Wu Huang, and other rising stars. After all, it was not embarrassing to lose to juniors who were a teenager younger than him.
But Kobe never expected that Emperor Wu would snatch his honor so quickly!
This year's All-Star Ticket King originally belonged to Kobe, but this little bastard Wu Huang dared to take love with him, which made Kobe a little unacceptable. While placing Wu Huang's position forward, his attitude towards him naturally changed.
Emperor Wu still has some understanding of Kobe's personality. This man is a typical moody person. When he feels good, he will be very polite to you. But once he doesn't like him, he will immediately turn against him.
There are even more bizarre things. Generally, if this type of person turns against you, it will really turn against you, but Kobe is not the same. The boss's realm is obviously much higher, because when his mood improves again, he will treat you well again. The previous thing is like never having a child. This also makes many people still wonder if the boss is really crazy? Who would have cursed you two days ago, and then take the initiative to hook you up in a few days?
The Knicks were at home today. After Wu Huang appeared, he saw a small group of traitors in Madison Square Garden wearing No. 24 jerseys. It can be seen that Ko's status in the United States is indeed much higher than him. If it weren't for the huge votes in Asia, it would be far from enough for him to kill Kobe and James.
But by the way, Wu Huang's influence in Asia is a bit outrageous. Even he himself could not have imagined that his handsome appearance made him have a appeal in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea that is not inferior to mainland China. The fans in these regions combined, at least 500,000 votes were contributed to him, which was impossible in the past. Especially Japan and South Korea's anti-Chinese sentiment was quite large, but Wu Huang's Chinese identity became the key. Japanese and Korean fans felt that since Wu Huang was not Chinese, his resistance suddenly became much less, which was somewhat similar to the sought after Bruce Lee was initially popular.
He has a good reference object. Yao Ming has always been discriminated against by referees in the NBA. Even the picky American fans have to admit that Yao Ming, who has extremely clean style of playing, is always called for fouls without reason in key games. If Yao Ming can enjoy the same treatment as Howard, with his free throw level, his average score will definitely be up to the next order of magnitude.
Emperor Wu also has a Chinese face, but he has never encountered any discrimination from the referee. Instead, he enjoyed the treatment of a star whistle as soon as he entered the NBA.
This is because Yao Ming can only ignite the Chinese market at most, and his influence in other parts of Asia becomes very small, but Wu Huang's name can cover the entire Asia. This is his unique advantage brought by many factors such as his position on the court, his high football skills, handsome appearance, and Chinese identity.
Yao Ming's normal appearance, but his abnormal height, a slightly ugly style of play and his identity as China, which is always targeted by the United States, has made him have little influence in addition to China.
Wu Huang has no such problems. He has a completely different temperament from today's idol stars, and his handsome appearance without plastic surgery but is even better. Even if he does not have such high skills as he is now, he can still have a good influence in Asia. Not to mention that he has been exaggerated by Asian media as a genius who can compare with Jordan and James. He can only produce a level genius in basketball for decades. This makes Wu Huang's influence in Asia exceed everyone's expectations.
A Yao Ming appeared in China, which immediately made countless Chinese fans feel proud and also made the NBA open up the Chinese market.
A Wu Emperor appeared in Asia, which immediately made the yellow people in Southeast Asia feel proud. What he opened up was the yellow people market in Asia and the whole world.
The difference between the two is not a little bit. When the alliance faces Yao Ming’s protests, it is okay to ignore them. Anyway, those who protest for Yao Ming are all hateful Chinese. If you get angry, you will bomb your embassy again!
However, NBA must not treat Emperor Wu like this. Targeting Emperor Wu is equivalent to targeting the yellow people all over the world. This accounts for 38% of the world and about 2.4 billion people.
Now, in the eyes of yellow people, Wu Huang has become a representative of their physical talents. Wu Huang's physical fitness is regarded by many Asian media as the limit that yellow people can reach. His appearance has given confidence in Japan, South Korea and other countries that are more tragic in the basketball field.
They feel that since Wu Huang, who is from Chinese, can have such basketball talent, they may also have a genius with the talent of Wu Huang in the near future.
Of course, this is impossible to have a life. There is still a little chance for Nate Robinson in these countries to have.
The Lakers players also appeared soon, and Wu Huang could clearly feel that Artest and Odom looked at him with deep resistance.
He knew why these people and other NBA stars had such resistance to him. In addition to being unhappy, he became the All-Star vote king in his first season due to his Chinese identity, he was more jealous of the financial benefits brought by his soaring fame.
Brandon Moretz has suspended negotiations on all commercial contracts on Emperor Wu during this period, and has once again played the old-fashioned drama of raising prices.
Wu Huang's value has risen again with the election of the All-Star vote king. Brandon had already drafted a five-year contract with PepsiCo for 80,000 US dollars. To be honest, such a contract amount is already very generous to a first-year rookie.
But not long ago, several Chinese beverage giants joined the battle, and Lehaha even gave up Wang Lihong, who had signed for ten years, forcibly Wu Huang issued a five-year, 80,000 yuan contract, which defeated Pepsi and Coca-Cola in one fell swoop.
Brandon went to Europe some time ago to negotiate contracts with Mercedes-Benz, Hippodrome and other companies. The Germans only gave a five-year, 60,000-US$5. Although they mentioned 80,000 US dollars in five years, China's Geely Auto directly bids a sky-high price of 100 million yuan for 6 years, which is almost twice the endorsement contract given by Mercedes-Benz. All fools know how to choose.
Recently, the contract amount issued by companies in Asia for Wu Huang is significantly higher than that of companies in Europe and the United States. These Asian companies see further and understand more clearly how valuable the Asian market is.
Not long after Wu Huang debuted, his influence in Asia has approached a superstar like Jackie Chan. So in the next ten years, how will his influence in Asia increase?
This is not accurate yet, but Wu Huang has the opportunity to become another Bruce Lee-like character in the future, so it is the wisest choice to place a heavy bet on him now, just like UA taking a desperate bet from Nike and Adidas, Wu Huang's performance has proved that UA's original gamble was successful.
UA is really happy now. Although there are many fans who hate Wu Huang, his sneakers are selling well around the world!
As of the end of December, Wu Huang's signature sneakers had sold 20,000 US dollars worldwide, narrowing the distance with James and Kobe.
Forbes magazine counted the sneaker sales of active players at the end of December. Wu Huang's signature sneaker sales have reached 20,000 US dollars worldwide, the growth rate is the first among active players. It is expected that he will once again narrow the gap with the top two before and after the All-Star.
no,1 Kobe Bryant $290,000.
no, 2 LeBron James $260,000.
no,3 Wu Huang 2ooo ten thousand dollars.
no,4 Cameron Anthony $90,000.
no,5 Kevin Durant $60,000.
UA didn't expect that Wu Huang would become the All-Star Ticket King in his first season. They are already creating the first generation of All-Star version of the battle boots for Wu Huang.
It can be foreseen now that Wu Huang's signature sneakers will definitely have a significant increase in the All-Star Game. UA is glad that they were gambled at the time. Wu Huang really started the brand of UA alone.
In this regard, European and American companies are indeed not as bold as Asian companies. When these old-fashioned companies in Europe and the United States are still more than 100,000 or more, these Asian peers have already been doing it.
For example, in the endorsement negotiations between several headphone giants around the world, Wu Huang had decided to give up the negotiations with Goethe, Baia Dynamics and Sennheiser. Japan's Iron Triangle issued a five-year, 80,000 US dollars for Wu Huang Huang. Hefeiman, founded by Chinese Americans, was willing to pay a 25% stake to win over Wu Huang.
The sincerity of these two companies is obviously much higher than that of the previous old headphone giants. Wu Huang has chosen to accept Heiferman's shares because Taylor Swift prefers Heiferman's voice and decided to purchase 2o% of the shares and join Wu Huang together. This is also one of the exchange conditions for his agreement to join.
Dr. Bian Fang, the founder of Hefeiman, naturally was unwilling to give up so many shares at once. After being dealt with by Emperor Wu, wouldn’t he have worked for the couple? But if these two people join, Hefeiman’s future expansion will increase tenfold, and the profits will be far greater than the current 45% stake.
Before the game, Wu Huang secretly winked with Taylor Swift sitting on the sidelines, and then chatted with Kobe for a few simple words, and the little flames in the boss's eyes were rushing out.
"Damn, this bastard isn't he going to use me, the newly released All-Star Ticket King, to establish his authority?" Wu Huang's heart jumped when he saw Kobe's unusual look. When he encountered such a pervert who did not care about his identity and wanted to win no matter what the game he was in, Wu Huang really felt a little unlucky.
Today's game is also very interesting. The Knicks and the Lakers have always been very fierce. Now, with the addition of Wu Huang who "everyone shouts to beat", the scene is even more intense!
However, it is better to say that the current Wu Emperor is a manifestation of discrimination against Chinese by black Americans.
It’s no secret that white Americans discriminate against all other races.
While being discriminated against black people in the United States, they have become more and more discriminatory against yellow people. Therefore, in the eyes of Chinese, these black people in the United States are more hateful than white people!
Most white people at least have some face. They will not discriminate against you openly, and will hide their discriminatory psychology.
But black people are different. Chinese people feel angry when they meet black people at night. The discrimination of these black people will not be hidden. They are manifested by moving fists and knives. This is often the most hateful.
"Be careful, don't think of getting a double-digit score today." As soon as Kobe finished speaking, the first thought that came to Wu Huang's mind was, "Is this considered trash talk?" Although he could not beat this guy on the court for the time being, he would never lose if he was more polite than talking.
Emperor Wu couldn't help but smile and said, "You are seeking death! Our defensive goal today is to prevent you from getting a % hit rate. If you don't believe it, you can try it!"
Kobe's face became a little stiff when he heard this, which was a sign that the boss was angry!
After the game started, the Lakers used double-team defense against Wu Huang from the beginning. As long as he dared to hold the ball and enter the attacking area, Kobe and Artest would come to double-team him nearby.
The purpose of the Lakers' defense is very clear, which is to prevent King Wu from scoring and assisting. Only by passing the basketball out in advance can he avoid mistakes.
Kobe and Artest's double-team are very fierce, and they are obviously unable to fight at this time, or it is not suitable for fighting hard.
"I don't believe you can guard against me today so that I can't get a double digit score?" Wu Huang didn't believe that he couldn't even get a ten. He was not in a hurry to take action when facing double-teams. He handed over the ball and let the second leader Iguodala attack first, and used his unball running to harass him, while waiting for the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot.
Bynum made a layup first after the opening game, Channing Fry and Garlinari hit 3 points respectively, and a 9-4 attack wave in a round gave the Knicks three points ahead.
The Zen master looked at him on the sidelines and felt that Wu Huang liked him. As a coach, he was not related to the dirty things among the stars. He only saw that although this little guy didn't touch much, he used his off-ball running to effectively involve the overall defense of the Lakers and gave other Knicks players the opportunity to perform.
Kobe doesn't have this awareness, and he doesn't want to do this because he will feel that his popularity has been stolen by others. This is the embodiment of Kobe's naive side. Fans all sound naive, but Kobe doesn't think so at all.
If the Knicks are willing to trade Kobe with Wu Huang now, the Zen master is even willing to eat Curry's junk contract, but he knows that no team will trade a player like Wu Huang, so he can only fantasize himself when he is fine.
"Kill those two guys at h!" Taylor Swift did not expect the outside world to report them at all, and he just openly supported Emperor Wu on the sidelines.
"I dare to bet with the Lakers that they must have slept in a bed last night." Lakers' Bus Jr. said to Dolan in the private room.
"I dare not bet on this!" Dolan waved his hands repeatedly when he heard this. Now fans around the world know that Emperor Wu, the female star and Taylor Swift sitting on the sidelines, wouldn't there be so many evil spirits?
The two looked at each other and smiled, but unfortunately Buss didn't know that yesterday, Emperor Wu was really not sleeping in Taylor Swift's bed, so he almost lost the Lakers. (To be continued.)
