Back in 84, he became Jordan’s lifelong enemy!

Chapter 191 The new season has arrived!

In Su Wen's mansion, the owner is topless and wearing a pair of beach shorts, sitting on the balcony of his master bedroom, looking at the water of Puget Sound leisurely.

He held a cup of coffee in his hand and drank it slowly, looking quite leisurely.

"Jingle Bell!"

The landline phone in the room suddenly rang. He turned back to the house, put the water glass on the window sill, and picked up the phone to answer.

"Su, you have an event to attend tomorrow morning."

The caller was Funing Valante's young assistant, Su Wen's off-market brokerage agent.

"what activity?"

Su Wen raised his eyebrows, thinking that his vacation should be over.

In the coming period, while preparing for the regular season, he will also have to attend various business activities.

In the first quarter, 120 million pairs were sold, with sales calculated at US$66 per pair (the first generation of Jordans was priced at US$65 at the time. Su Wen discussed with Reebok out of disgust, and priced the retail price of the first generation of Lightning at a price higher than that of the Jordans. 1 USD higher per generation), a total of nearly 7900 million+ USD.

This call is definitely not the last one.

In other words, in his first season, or first year, he earned a total of $2000 million in off-field income.

Even if he doesn't do anything now and just sit back and eat nothing, it will be enough for him to spend his whole life.

The Lightning Generation, with crazy sales and panic buying across the United States, the latest sales data from April to September has exceeded 4 million pairs.

The sales of the Lightning generation have been in a sluggish state in the Chicago area. Not to mention the Jordan generation, they are not sold at all. They are often bought and burned by local fans, causing a lot of damage to the image.

Reebok has been preparing for two or three months. After the factory production lines are in full swing and running day and night, the Champion Edition is finally officially launched and distributed across the United States.

The Starbucks run by Schultz is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.

During the month of the launch, he needed to attend several autograph sessions arranged by Reebok.

What's more, he doesn't do nothing.

I said it was a few games, but it was actually three or four games.

Not only that, Starbucks has opened in major international cities in North America such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York, and branches have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Still in the cost operation stage.

"understood."

It is precisely because Schultz has led Starbucks to rapid progress and the return prospects are soaring that the naked eye can see that Su Wen's investment company, all shareholders and employees are full of motivation.

Su Wen hung up the phone and fell into deep thought.

This has only been two quarters, and it is almost as much as the sales data of the Jordan generation for the whole year. It can be seen how big the sales increase brought by Su Wen and the SuperSonics after winning the championship.

Last season, except for DPOY, the regular season's best defensive player award, he won almost all individual honors and collective honors, and received a total of 12% sales bonus.

Su Wen’s investment of 140 million+ yuan last year directly enabled him to obtain 50 times the income.

It was originally planned to include Chicago in the plan, but Reebok gave up the plan when it realized that the area was the home base of Michael Jordan and Nike.

Seeing that the first quarter dividends had already arrived, Su Wen readily agreed to attend these autograph sessions.

Because of the early cooperation with Schultz, the initial investment was huge. Currently, the Starbucks Group has opened 10 branches in Seattle.

Bulls fans, or the local people in Chicago, are unlikely to sell Suvin's face.

In the past year, Starbucks has opened nearly a hundred branches across the United States.

He is already a veritable multimillionaire.

After all, the dividends he received in the first quarter were US$950 million, which was almost equal to all the endorsement income he received this year.

The young agent cautiously replied: "Your championship edition sneaker signing will be held at the Space Needle, and you must attend."

If Starbucks were to go public at this time, he would immediately become a billionaire, a real rich man worth over 100 million US dollars.

In addition to not irritating the local fans, it is more of a place and does not give them much of a place.

After deducting personal income tax and miscellaneous taxes, as well as taxes offset by reinvestment, purchasing real estate, cars, etc., his income this year was more than 1100 million.

This is why his cousin Su Shiwen is so concerned about promotion and salary increase, and a future of being independent, and she doesn't hesitate to quarrel with her own mother for her cousin.

"You forgot?"

Su Wen's Reebok sneakers. After the Supersonics won the championship, at his suggestion, a separate production line for the championship version was set up, specifically responsible for producing the championship commemorative series.

Unfortunately, Starbucks cannot go public at this time. It is still in a period of brutal development and is still snowballing. It is opening branches across the United States, cultivating talents, expanding channels, and enhancing brand value.

One in Seattle itself, one in Los Angeles, one in New York, and one in Philadelphia.

Coupled with the super popularity and attention of Su Wen, an NBA star, and personally endorsed by himself, this food that combines flavors from all over the world and a humane style is detonating across the United States and becoming an emerging giant in American catering.

According to the incentive terms of the contract he originally signed, in addition to his 5% basic sales dividend, every time he wins an award during the season, it will increase by +1%.

In the two months since he returned to China, he spent a total of more than three million U.S. dollars. Including other expenses, he still has more than six million U.S. dollars in his account.

Although there are currently only nearly 16000 branches, which is still far away from the 1+ branches of Starbucks at its peak, it has also brought a market valuation of US$ million to the group.

In addition to this money, he also has a salary from the team and dividends from Starbucks.

Of course, Starbucks is currently expanding its operations and investing a lot of money. It is opening branches everywhere and establishing a headquarters. Let alone paying dividends at this time, if he can get a dollar in return within a year, Howard Schultz is considered awesome.

If Su Wen asked her cousin to call her "Dad" at this time, she might not hesitate.

Although Starbucks has visible return prospects, Su Wen still has to continue to prepare for the arrival of Cisco, Yahoo, Google, and Amazon in the future.

Those Internet and logistics giants are his most worthy potential investment projects and their greatest ambitions.

As for not being able to buy Microsoft and Apple in time.

It's all in the past tense, Su Wen didn't think about them at all.

Su Wen has no other ideas except to speculate in stocks and earn some pocket money when these two major brands are listed in the future. However, this does not mean that Su Wen will let them go.

He has always asked Funen Valant to keep an eye on Apple. Once any shareholder is willing to sell his shares, he will not hesitate to acquire it.

However, Valante has been keeping an eye on him for almost a year, and no one has taken action.

Apple has not yet entered the most difficult period.

They have to wait until they are ready to go bankrupt and have to call Gang Leader Qiao back to save them. Presumably someone will want to escape from the broken ship by then.

Besides, he doesn’t have the funds or qualifications to enter the game now.

If Apple shares were to be sold, it would definitely be a deal worth over 100 million. How could Su Wen make a fortune with his current net worth?

Not long after Su Wen put down the phone, he seemed to have thought of something, a smile appeared on his lips, he picked up the phone again and broadcast a number.

The person on the other side said 'hello' first, and Su Wen immediately changed his expression and said, "Hello, auntie, I'm looking for Ya V!"

The nickname of the first generation of the head of Jade Girl is 'Ya V', and usually only her close friends or colleagues call her that in person.

The aunt opposite didn't doubt that he was there, and quickly called out, "Amin, I have a call for you." ', and then heard a snapping sound reaching Su Wen's ears.

After a while, Zhou Huimin's voice sounded, "Hey, I'm Huimin, what about the soldier?"

"Have you found a new job?"

Su Wen joked in his first sentence.

As soon as the words came out, Zhou Huimin knew it was him, and immediately said rudely: "Thank you, I have found a new job."

"Haha."

Su Wen couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the resentful expression the other party might have at this time.

"What are you laughing laughing!"

Zhou Huimin said angrily: "Thanks to you, it took me a long time to find another job."

"What do you do?" Su Wen stopped smiling and asked curiously.

"Auntie Cleaning, are you surprised?" Zhou Huimin snorted coldly.

"That's really a promising job." Su Wen didn't believe it at all and just replied with a smile.

"Hmph!" Zhou Huimin snorted again and asked rather unhappily: "Why are you calling me?"

"Is something wrong? If nothing happens, I will hang up."

"Of course I have something to do." Su Wen knew that the other party didn't have a good impression of him, but he still asked with a smile: "I want to care about your work."

"I'm sorry to bother you." Zhou Huimin still didn't say anything nice, "My work would be better if you didn't show up."

"Sorry." Su Wen once again heard the resentment in the other party's heart and shook his head helplessly, "We didn't mean it."

"Humph!"

"Now that you have found a job, I'm relieved." Su Wen scratched his head and didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking about it, he asked again: "What time is it in Xiangjiang now?"

"10pm, thank you."

Zhou Huimin said bitterly: "If you hadn't called me, I would have been ready to change clothes and go to bed now."

"I have to go to work tomorrow."

"is it?"

"Yes." She replied seriously: "I just hope that on the way to work this time, I won't meet any disrespectful people again."

Well.

Su Wen scratched his head again. The other party's words were too pointed and sarcastic, so he smiled and said, "Probably not."

"There is only one blind person left in Hong Kong, and he is now in Seattle."

"Pfft!"

Zhou Huimin didn't expect that he would be so in tune with the situation. She suddenly stopped sullen and laughed out loud, "That's right."

"There are people who don't open their eyes in the United States. I shouldn't encounter them again."

"So, you can go to work with confidence." Su Wen felt relaxed after hearing her laughter, "Now this blind man is also ready to train."

"When you have the opportunity to go back, ask him to treat you to make amends and make it up to you."

"That would have to be a big fish like abalone and bird's nest to make up for it." Zhou Huimin hummed.

"That's right." When Su Wen saw that she didn't refuse, he immediately said with a smile: "The bird's nest and abalone must be arranged, and there must be a special car to pick up and drop off, and the police must clear the way."

"Giggle." Zhou Huimin's mood seemed to be lifted by the conversation, and she laughed more and more, "That's really a high standard of treatment."

As she spoke, she suddenly spat and said bitterly: "You are so glib. I didn't expect you to be such a person."

"Then what kind of person do you think I should be?" Su Wen asked with a smile.

"A big star, or a big American star, shouldn't be aloof and gentlemanly? Or have a bad temper and hit people at every turn."

"Stop, stop, stop." Su Wen stopped speechlessly when the other party clapped his fingers to describe the appearance of the star in his mind. "No matter how big or famous the star is, he is still an ordinary person."

"This is just a stereotype."

Su Wen chatted for a long time, and as the chat progressed, Zhou Huimin seemed to be less sarcastic and hostile to him in her heart, getting into various fights and laughing frequently.

Unknowingly, the two of them chatted for more than half an hour, until she suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, it's so late!", and then said coquettishly, "It's all your fault, I'm going to bed," and then hurriedly said Hang up the phone and rush to work.

Su Wen hung up the phone, glanced at the wall, packed his things, and went out for training.

On October 10, the new regular season of the NBA league arrived on time.

On this day, there were a total of eight games, with the Washington Bullets and Atlanta Hawks officially kicking off as the openers.
