Reinventing the Millennium.

"The most passionate team owner in history! "

"The last stop to the three consecutive championships! "

"Rocket Boss Is Crying, Why not?" "

"Rocket thorns, join forces with the Cavaliers in the finals!" "

"Why not create miracles, We can be difficult to achieve!" "

As the tiebreaker between the Rockets and the Spurs came to an end, the inherent media ecology of the NBA began to report on the results of the game.

The Rockets, who have experienced a wave of injuries this season, only finished fifth in the Western Conference in the regular season. However, in the playoffs, all members are in order, playing better and better, recovering the demeanor of the defending champion, and successfully defeating the biggest opponent, the Spurs, can almost be announced in advance Three consecutive championships.

Player injuries, the trough of the championship, the owner's declaration, public opinion's low opinion, a strong recovery, and possibly the last season of the trident's wild dance - Carter, who did not renew his contract in advance this year, is likely to leave the team in the summer and announce the trident disintegration.

All these things, with Fang Zhuo winning the tiebreaker, angrily tearing up his jersey, and shouting Why not, the basketball and sports circles all recognized the Rockets' performance this season.

What is sportsmanship?

This is!
What is Basketball Tycoon?

Taking over the Rockets for four seasons, recruiting coach Nelson, building a Big Three lineup, wearing two championship rings, hitting three consecutive championships in team history, and striving to become the fourth team in league history after the Bulls, Lakers, and Celtics Dynasty team!

After finishing the Western Conference Finals and not officially playing the finals, the scene of Fang Zhuo tearing his jersey angrily has become the cover photo of the world-renowned magazine "Sports Illustrated".

In addition to the regular coverage of basketball events in the sports circle and mainstream media, some media also mentioned the appearance of Jermaine O'Neill in the tiebreaker.

Well, this is the public opinion that Fang Zhuo helped to buy, mainly to make a binding effect.

Although Xiao Ao is running for the election, before him there is a Xi Po who has confirmed the competition for the position of the next year's commander in chief. She is the most favored and most supported democratic leader in the faction. Everyone else seems to be just running along.

However, the road is made step by step.

Xiao Ao participated in the celebration banquet for the Rockets to celebrate their victory in the Western Conference Finals. He was already quite satisfied with himself watching the miracle happen this time.

Different from the previous campaign strategies, Xiao Ao's team attaches great importance to the power of new Internet media.

Just watching the game and shouting a few slogans can share the fans' emotions brought about by the Rockets' miracle. There is nothing more cost-effective than this.

The celebration banquet was full of fun, the team was happy, and Fang Zhuo and Xiao Ao seemed like old friends.

How can you do administration in the United States without a few wealthy friends?

How can you do business in the United States without a few administrative friends?

In addition, Xiao Ao really likes basketball, so this kind of two-way rush is even more enjoyable.

The next day, Xiao Ao asked Mr. Fang before leaving: "This time the finals must be all right, right?"

"There is a lot of confidence, and the Cavaliers' lineup is not good." Fang Zhuo is very confident in the finals. "If there is no accident, the Rockets will win the cup 4:0 or 4:1."

"Then the Cavaliers will win the championship at home." Xiao Ao said with a smile, "I will come to celebrate you in the fourth game, how about it?"

The Rockets, fifth in the regular season in the Western Conference, have home court advantage after entering the finals. Both scores are away games.

Of course Fang Zhuo agreed.

By the way, he also chatted about financial management.

Xiao Ao had put a small amount of money in Fang Zhuo's fund before, and then put it in Paulson's short-selling fund, and the income has been quite good.

As the saying goes, if you don't manage money, money ignores you.

Xiao Ao is very satisfied with this completely regular income.

Fang Zhuo now plans to invest this money in a somewhat secretive short-selling operation against Lehman. It is still formal, and every penny is well-documented. As for how much he can earn in the end, it depends on the short-selling operation in this process. .

Although the Rockets have not yet won the championship, it has come to an end in Fang Zhuo's mind. Not to mention his bond with Xiao Ao and further interests, counting the time, the positive sportsmanship after the finals can just be introduced into the mobile phone conference.

The team is preparing for the final championship, and the friends in the villa are also relaxed.

Instead, Fang Zhuo, the most passionate boss, flew to Silicon Valley again.

There are only two weeks left until the launch.

While Mr. Fang was busy with the team, Yi Ke's team had another two rounds of talks with T-Mobile.

On June 6, the R&D center submitted the finalized mobile phone Mars.

Its biggest advantage is that it is currently the best front-facing camera phone in the world.

Its biggest shortcoming, Android stability, remains a concern.

As the person in charge of the last two rounds of negotiations, Yu Hong also witnessed the upcoming release of Mars.

"Mr. Yu, this is actually pretty good, isn't it?" Fang Zhuo played with Mars, holding a rough prototype and a marketed machine in completely different ways.

"I think the colleagues in the R&D center are worthy of commendation." Yu Hong said with certainty, "They are doing a pioneering work, which is not easy."

Fang Zhuo habitually took a selfie, nodded slightly, and changed the topic to Mr. Yu's work: "Then, let's sign a cooperation draft with T-Mobile first."

Yu Hong said that she was not satisfied with the content she was in charge of: "Now it seems that we can only wait for the iPhone to be launched to see if its performance can arouse Legere's changes. This cooperation draft will be pushed to the 24th. I think Look at their final attitude."

Press conference on the 26th, and signed a cooperation draft with operators on the 24th.

Now, the purchase price negotiated by Yike has been increased from 270 to 290, and the share ratio has been increased from 5% to 6%.

Negotiations are still quite difficult.

T-Mobile is no longer willing to increase the price, and Legere clearly knows that Yike's press conference is just around the corner, and they are not the one in a hurry.

Yu Hong believes that there is still room for negotiation between the two sides.

Half a year is enough time for Yike Mars to optimize to a better level, not to mention that Yike has indeed invested a lot of money and energy for this front camera, and its uniqueness in the world deserves a higher purchase price.

However, the operator also asked a tricky question-how long can Yike Mars be unique?
Once Mars proves that the front camera is attractive to consumers, other mobile phone manufacturers are bound to follow suit, and the Android system will also be officially announced as open source at the Yike press conference, and the smart system will not be a threshold for some competitors .

Here lies the basis for the objection of Echo and T-Mobile.

"290, 6%, 3+9, exclusive for 2 years, number 24." Fang Zhuo talked about the current negotiation situation.

In fact, Yike did not add the last-ditch sales bet.

He thought about it for a while, and the cooperation draft was not binding, it was just a display of the attitudes of both sides.

"Mr. Yu, what do you think if we add the sales conditions and talk about it for the last time? There is also this 2-year exclusive, 2 years is no problem, can the exclusive conditions be changed?"

Yu Hong heard the string song and knew the elegance: "You still have hope for the V business?"

"I think the performance of the iPhone in the second half of the year will really touch the operators. Apple has signed an exclusive contract with AT&T. Should we give some warmth to those operators who have no choice?" Fang Zhuo is very gentle.

Yu Hong was thinking about her two rounds of negotiations.

2 years of exclusiveness is not a cooperation condition that has been discussed a lot, because neither side has much choice.

But this thing is more symbolic.

The conditions that the two parties have not talked about are suddenly revised. Isn't the intention obvious?
Therefore, this needs to add the hedging of new condition sales.

Negotiations, negotiations, need to talk, but also need their own judgment.

The contact with T-Mobile was actually done by Google last year. Until this year's conference is about to start, it is still not completely sure.

Operator cooperation is a tough nut to crack.

"The European market is still exclusively handed over to T-Mobile. They may be able to get better sales in that market than in the US market. The US side can try to talk about it." Yu Hong thought for a while and said.

"We'll talk again on the 23rd. I'll call Schmidt and Jacob, and we'll have another quarrel." Fang Zhuo pondered, "How do you think the sales conditions should be determined?"

Yike's internal expectations for Mars are different in different time periods.

Before negotiating a subsidy intention with T-Mobile, the price is planned to be lower. The hardware cost is 220, and the listing price is around 360. Then the preferential strategy will be determined according to the situation. The sales target within one year is 200 million units.

After talking about the subsidy intention, the goal became 500 million units within a year.

This is just Yike's unilateral assessment, and T-Mobile's development of the 3G market should also be considered in more detail.

But regardless of the price and corresponding sales volume, although mobile phone giants such as Nokia, Sony Ericsson, and Samsung have sold more than [-] million at every turn, they can still gain a firm foothold and succeed when entering the mobile phone market for the first time.

After all, the estimated global sales of smartphones this year account for 10% of the overall mobile phone market, with annual sales of around 1 million units.

Moreover, Yike has not considered the Chinese market opened in the second half of 08.

Yu Hong didn't rush to answer Mr. Fang's question about sales.

She had her own judgment in her heart, but she still held a small meeting before giving her opinion: "T-Mobile is willing to subsidize users. 300 million and 500 million are appropriate numbers. Adding 100 million on top of this will increase sales." There's a lot of pressure."

"Then talk about it like this, 300 million, 500 million, 600 million, and finally add another layer of 700 million or 800 million." Fang Zhuo said, "The final sales volume can exceed T-Mobile's psychological expectations, and the purchase price is also easy to negotiate. "

Yu Hong made an opinion: "I'm afraid that the previous purchase price will be suppressed again."

"Let's talk about it last, I'll drag Schmidt to mix it up." Fang Zhuo didn't forget his partner, and sighed, "There must be some dreams."

Smartphone sales are estimated to be 1 million units this year, and 800 million is 8% of the global market.

However, the proportion of Yike's sales should be classified into 08, when the global smartphone market will have a considerable increase.

Yu Hong nodded, high-end negotiations are like this, Schmidt is very suitable, his voice is quite loud, Mr. Fang also has an advantage in this kind of scene from the very beginning, she will never forget Mr. Fang at Hang Lung 23 One by one to refute the venture capital scene.

The co-founder continued to chat about the preparatory work before the mobile phone conference, and did not forget to remind Mr. Fang of the rehearsal.

Finally, she asked: "The mobile phone will be released soon, are you nervous?"

Fang Zhuo made a gesture of tearing up his jersey angrily: "Fortunately, after training on the field, I have become stronger."

Yu Hong knew that Mr. Fang had feelings for basketball, and he did, but not so much.

……

Yike company announced the time of the mobile phone conference, and invited the media and guests to witness the new smart phone on June 6.

This caused ripples in the mobile phone industry and technology circles.

Apple's iPhone is confirmed to be released on June 6, and Yike, as an old rival, deliberately releases it 29 days in advance. The intention of sniping is quite obvious.

Everyone is very curious, what kind of product will Yike come up with to attack friends?
Many media signed up to participate enthusiastically, and Apple also expressed concern after receiving the news.

Yike made the final adjustments to the mobile phone and researched the release process tips, while Fang Zhuo continued to witness the Rockets' three-peat crowning journey.

On June 6, the first game of the NBA Finals was played at the Rockets' home court.

Not surprisingly, the Cavaliers led by LeBron James fell behind from the first quarter to the end, and finally lost the game with a score of 86:103.

The live broadcast commentator Smith even commented directly: "You shouldn't criticize James too much. The Cavaliers have created their team history. This year's Finals is the moment for the Rockets to create team history."

"I believe that the next three games will be equally boring. I may look forward to the picture of Fang always tearing his jersey when he wins the championship."

Sure enough, in the next three games, except for the twists and turns in the third game, including the decision to decide the last game of the series, there was no big surprise.

On June 6, the Rockets swept the Cavaliers 21:4 and won the three consecutive championships that created team history.

However, the team owner Fang Zhuo was very calm while sitting on the sidelines in these four games.

Instead, Xiao Ao, who came back in the last game, raised his hand excitedly after confirming that the Rockets had won, and grabbed Mr. Fang's arm again: "Yes, we can, we can!!"

He's like an avid Rockets fan.

But Fang Zhuo knew what he wanted, and a reporter also interviewed Xiao Ao by the way, asking bluntly whether he had the confidence to win the election next year.

"Hahaha, I came here today just to enjoy the game. I love basketball and sports very much."

"We only talk about sports, not politics, and what you are asking is about next year."

"If I have to answer, I like the Rockets' championship spirit this year."

"Why not?"

Xiao Ao, who was enjoying the game, answered the questions heartily. The Rockets who were not expected to win the championship, let everyone see what else can happen.

The championship scene was a bit chaotic.

After the interview, Fang Zhuo hugged the coaches and players one by one, and briefly communicated with the lost Cavaliers players.

He finally hugged James of the Cavaliers, comforted the swept opponent, and patted his arm: "The future is yours."

James was very moved.

League president Stern presented the championship trophy to the Rockets and announced that Yao Ming won his second FMVP trophy.

Fang Zhuo delivered a brief speech on winning the championship.

"Thanks to my coaches and players, it is your champion heart that won all this, and thanks to the fans who always support us, it is your every encouragement that supports our strong fighting spirit."

"Thanks also to the alliance and all partners."

"Finally, I would like to thank the team's newly signed sponsor, Yike Mobile Mars."

Fang Zhuo is very sincere.

There were sporadic voices from fans at the scene.

"Tear one!"

"Tear one!"

Fang Zhuo heard the requests from the fans, fulfilled their wishes, and gave the Rockets the last tear for the three consecutive championships.

The jersey was not torn.

The shouts remained the same.

"Why not?"

The young team owner was thrown into the sky by cheering players on camera.

While Fang Zhuo was worried that this group of people would not be able to connect with him, he had already turned his heart to Silicon Valley, and wanted to start the launch of Yike Mars.
