Speaking of Curry, UA was just a small and unknown brand at the time.
After Curry won the championship, his sneaker sales surpassed James's that year.
After three championships in four years, Curry's commercial value has greatly increased.
Nowadays, UA has become an existence that is directly catching up with Nike and Adidas.
It can be said that Curry single-handedly made UA popular.
Therefore, after a player wins the championship, the endorsement quotations given by advertisers to the player will immediately double or even triple.
Sister Luo gave Wang Yi a list of companies that asked him to represent him.
"Coca-Cola, Google, Mercedes-Benz, Rolls-Royce, Walmart, Apple, Ping An Insurance, China Life..."
The list is very long.
Sister Luo applied for more than 30 names in one go.
Finally, he said: "These are all carefully selected by me after excluding the small companies. Of course, there are also some large companies that I directly excluded because I was not satisfied with their contract amounts or their conditions were very harsh. You
Wait a minute, I will send all the lists now."
After a while, Sister Luo sent over the list.
Wang Yi said while looking at the list: "This list needs to be carefully investigated. First, make sure they have not done anything detrimental to China. Second, make sure there is no problem with the quality of their products."
My sister replied: "Of course."
Staying friendly to China and having no quality issues with the products are the bottom line for Wang Yi to endorse a brand.
Wang Yi reminded again: "Also, any Japanese company will be directly passed on."
Sister Luo naturally understood what Wang Yi meant: "Of course, I have carefully selected these. There are several companies in it. Although they are joint ventures between Japan and other countries, they only occupy a small part of the shares and have no say.
right."
Wang Yi nodded: "Well, that's good."
Rowling later said: "This time I plan to let you only accept ads from five companies at most. Because after all, you are a player, you have to train, and you have to go back to play in the World Cup. If you accept too many ads, it will be harmful to you."
Training and competition have a huge impact. Although this may seem like it will cost you a lot of money in the short term, it will be beneficial to you in the long term.”
Wang Yi nodded and said, "You don't need to explain these things, I understand them all."
Then Rowling said: "There are still some people who want to cooperate with you and set up a venture capital company with you."
Wang Yi thought for a while: "This is a good idea."
After he signs several endorsement contracts this time, his wealth will grow rapidly.
He can also buy luxury cars and mansions.
And what happens after that?
When a person's wealth accumulates to a certain level.
Slowly, money becomes a number.
If he does nothing, his money will still keep growing.
But with so many numbers lying on your bank card, it would be a waste to do nothing.
So you have to use the money where it should be used. In addition to leaving some for charity, the remaining money should be used for investment.
Strive to earn more money and use the more money to do more useful things.
Rowling continued: "But what I mean is, if you are willing to be a venture capital investor, you can do it yourself, you don't have to partner with other people."
"Yes, Sister Luo."
Wang Yi also understands that there will be a lot of troubles in a partnership.
It would be much easier if you do it yourself.
Of course, if you do it by yourself, you will have much smaller connections in terms of connections, etc., and your options won’t be as wide as if you do it through a partnership.
But these are all trivial to him. He has now won the championship and FMVP.
Fame has reached the peak it can currently reach.
With his reputation, he is worried that he has no connections?
To put it bluntly, those who want to partner with him are just trying to capitalize on his fame.
Now Wang Yi is not short of money, nor is he short of fame.
There is no need to partner with them.
Then Sister Luo said: "Anta has contacted me and said that they will produce a championship sneaker for you. It depends on when you have time to meet with their designer. When designing, he will consult with you.
Opinion."
"Wait until I return to China."
Wang Yi won the championship. At this time, Anta is striking while the iron is hot and launching signature championship sneakers, which will definitely be very popular.
After talking about the business, Sister Luo finally said:
"One last thing, someone is looking for you."
"who?"
Sister Luo's voice seemed a little excited: "Jay Chou."
"ah?"
Wang Yi was still surprised.
In fact, during the tiebreaker of the finals last night, he saw Jay Chou sitting in the fourth row.
Originally, he also wanted to say hello.
After all, he listens to Jay Chou's songs a lot.
Although he is not a star-chasing person, if he has to say which singer he likes the most, it would be Jay Chou.
Jay Chou came to the sidelines to watch him play, so it was natural to go over and say hello.
But last night the fighting was too fierce.
As soon as he came on the court, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the game.
I completely forgot about this one.
After the game, I was so excited and excited that I even forgot about this incident.
So until now, I haven't been able to say hello to Jay Chou.
But I didn't expect that Jay Chou would take the initiative to look for me.
"Are you free now? He's in Sacramento right now."
Sister Luo asked.
Wang Yi nodded: "Of course."
So Sister Luo gave Jay Chou’s phone number to Wang Yi.
Wang Yi immediately dialed Jay Chou's phone number.
I'm still a little excited.
After all, when Jay Chou became famous, he was just a child under ten years old.
There was an accent on the other end of the phone that was very familiar even though I had never heard it in person.
"Hello, I'm Jay Chou."
"Hello, I am Wang Yi..."
On the other end of the phone, Jay Chou's tone was obviously high-pitched: "Hello, Brother Yi. I'm very happy to receive your call."
"No, no, no. You are much older than me, so don't call me Brother Yi."
Jay Chou was born in 1979, and Wang Yi was born in 2001.
How dare he ask Jay Chou to call him brother?
Jay Chou smiled: "The whole world is calling you Brother Yi. Is this an honorific for you?"
Wang Yi did not dwell on this: "Are you in Sacramento? Come to my house now. I will entertain you well."
Jay Chou said: "It's a great honor to be entertained by Brother Yi."
Half an hour later, Jay Chou appeared at the door of Wang Yi's villa.
He didn't bring anyone else with him, just him.
Wang Yi and Nicole went out to greet him.
I saw Jay Chou wearing a large Wang Yi No. 0 jersey and a Wang Kings championship ball cap.
Around his neck is a gold chain.
The lower body is a pair of loose denim shorts.
The whole outfit looks a bit hip-hop.
He stood outside Wang Yi's villa and looked at the villa.
"Oh, not bad."
Wang Yi couldn't help but smile: "Is Pi Yi very happy?"
“Of course I’m happy to be a guest at Xinke fmvp’s home.”
Wang Yi looked behind Jay Chou: "Sister-in-law is not here?"
Jay Chou shook his head.
"Isn't it good to leave my sister-in-law and children at home while I'm enjoying myself outside?"
Wang Yi said jokingly.
Jay Chou replied: "There is nothing we can do about it. The epidemic control here is not good, but it is safer at home."
