Chapter 1269 The Godfather Series Becomes an Independent Brand

In this big list, 15+1, there is only the last two-way contract quota left.

Tang Tian didn't pay much attention to the final quota.

However, because of this quota, Dempsey went to Tang Tian's manor to ask for his opinion.

The reason is because he wants to give this two-way contract to a Chinese player.

China's "Letter Brother".

Dempsey said so.

Abdul Saramu Abdulrexiti.

"Abudu?"

Tang Tian was quite surprised when he heard Dempsey's suggestion.

Unlike Ding Yan Yuhang back then, Ding Yan Yuhang has the potential to play in the NBA.

But for Abdu, there is still a gap in the strength of the NBA in all aspects.

His only connection with the NBA is that he played summer league for the Warriors last year.

"Yes, he is a very smart team player. Although his talent is not so outstanding, I observed him privately for a year and found that he has the potential to become an NBA player, and he works hard enough. Of course, I think we also need Keep the Chinese market."

Demps gave all his reasons.

It can be seen that Ding Yanyuhang's successful example has given him confidence, and he has already inspected Chinese players in advance.

Moreover, Tang Tian retired. If he wants the Pelicans to continue to be the home team of the Chinese, he also needs to use quantity to make up for the lack of quality.

"He wants to come too?"

Tang Tian asked a question smoothly.

The two-way contract is no better than other contracts, and the guaranteed one is only 50,000 US dollars, which is only 300,000 yuan when converted into RMB.

This is the salary of a bench player in the domestic CBA league.

This is also the reason why Ding Yan Yuhang was praised by the Chinese people for his toughness when he came out to venture out. This requires a lot of confidence and determination.

Abdu's fame has risen this year, and it is a great time to make money in the CBA, just like Wang Zhelin back then.

In the end, Wang Zhelin also chose the CBA's high salary and team shares, which is only natural.

Dempsey nodded affirmatively.

"Then try."

Tang Tian nodded.

Dempsey has ideas, and Abu has determination, so this opportunity should be given.

Once Abdu is finalized, the Pelicans' 15+2 lineup is set.

Moreover, there are two non-guaranteed contracts in this 15-man roster, and the maneuverability in the middle of the season is also strong.

With Tang Tian's permission, Dempsey turned around and contacted Abdu's team.

Not long after he left, another group of people came to Tang Tian's manor.

This was an appointment with Tang Tian before.

Nike team.

Tang Tian's manager, Karl, came with him.

Long before Tang Tian retired, Karl was discussing with Nike about the independence of the Godfather series.

The popularity of the Godfather series is now at the height of the sky, even worse than that of the original Jordan series. It is definitely not enough to just get the endorsement fee.

Breaking away from becoming a sub-brand is imperative.

And a very interesting thing is that I thought that Tang Tian's retirement would cause the sales of the Godfather series to decline.

But the reality is that the day Tang Tian announced his retirement, the sales of sneakers skyrocketed.

Because in the eyes of many fans, the latest five generations of the Godfather series may be Tang Tian's out-of-print sneakers as a player.

So these phenomena all show that Tang Tian's influence, like Jordan's back then, has not declined due to his retirement.

Karl has been an agent for more than a year and has accumulated a lot of experience.

The negotiation took place in the living room of the manor, and Tang Tian mostly listened to it.

To become an independent brand, the biggest change is that the logo will be designed separately, and there will be many breakthroughs in the technology and shape design of shoes.

As far as Nike is concerned, like the original AJ series, it is also another big card for them to suppress competitors such as Adidas.

In the future, the top three sneaker sales will be dominated by Nike, AJ, and Godfather, and there will be no such thing as Adidas and other companies.

For Tang Tian, ​​the most direct change is naturally that the dividends will increase.

In the past, he could get 40 to 50 million in dividends. After independence, this number will double to 80, 90 or even hundreds of millions.

And this dividend time will also change. In the past, it was February every year, but after independence, it will be based on the date when they formally sign the new independence.

In other words, Tang Tian signed an independent contract, and he could immediately get a dividend of nearly 100 million yuan.

Tang Tian is still very interested in this.

The team's affairs are settled, and his next focus is the Men's Basketball World Cup in more than a month.

This time the US team is likely to go all out. Although his strength has become stronger, it is still difficult to defeat such an American team.

So if you want to increase your confidence, the most direct way is to increase his strength.

And to do this, golden skills are undoubtedly the best choice.

This is also one of the reasons why he chose to exchange for Stone Buddha (Duncan) instead of saving his breath to exchange for golden skills.

At this time, there is still time for exchange, and good steel is used on the blade.

The two sides talked about the same thing, and Tang Tian didn't have any major opinions after reading it, so he directly chose to sign.

Anyway, for him, the brand is still operated by Nike, except for taking on more advertisements and attending some activities, there are no major changes.

The Godfather series became an independent brand, and this news soon attracted strong attention from fans.

Tang Tian's influence is greater than that of Jordan when he was at his peak, not to mention the support of the Chinese market.

This wave of news was released, and the sales of sneakers skyrocketed again that day.

According to this momentum, it won't be long before he surpasses AJ to become the second largest basketball brand in the world.

The sales of sneakers over there were booming, and Tang Tian also received the first wave of dividends a few days later.

$80 million.

After taxes he gets close to $50 million.

This time, he became rich.

After exchanging stone Buddhas before, he still has more than 20 million US dollars of krypton gold value left.

After that, he chose to retire, but according to the regulations, if the player retires voluntarily, the team can choose to pay the player the remaining salary of the contract.

Tang Tian's contribution to the Pelicans cannot be measured in money, and the Pelicans have done the same.

He also has close to $30 million over there.

In addition, some of his endorsements need to pay a new year's endorsement fee in the summer.

Adding up all these things, the money he got after tax was over 100 million in one go.

A penny is worth a penny.

Just when all the money was deposited into Tang Tian's account one after another, the krypton gold value in Tang Tian's krypton gold system also skyrocketed to 100 million krypton gold value.

Spend two cents for a penny.

When the money reaches a certain amount, the feeling is not only a little cool, but also a little bit floating.

This is also the first time Tang Tian has so much krypton gold value.

His eyes can finally look at the golden skill with justification.

There are few skills, but each one is golden.

And it's completely different from the feeling when I first opened the system and saw the golden skills 8 years ago.

At that time, he could only yearn for it, but now, he can actually hold them in his hands.
