Chapter 830 Eve (Two in One)

《The most passionate team owner in history! 》

《The last stop to three consecutive championships! 》

《The Rockets owner was moved to tears, Why not? 》

《The Rockets pulled out the thorns and met the Cavaliers in the finals! 》

《Why not, which created miracles, is difficult to achieve, We can! 》

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

The Rockets, who experienced a wave of injuries this season, only got fifth in the West in the regular season. However, in the playoffs, all the players were in place, playing better and better, recovering the style of the defending champions, and successfully defeating the Spurs, the biggest opponent, and almost announcing the three consecutive championships in advance.

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

All these, accompanied by Fang Zhuo's victory in the seventh game, tearing his jersey angrily, and shouting Why not, the basketball and sports circles are quite recognized for the performance of the Rockets this season.

What is sportsmanship?

This is it!

What is a basketball tycoon?

He took over the Rockets for four seasons, recruited coach Nelson, built a Big Three lineup, won two championship rings, and strived for three consecutive championships in team history, and was committed to becoming the fourth dynasty team in the league's history after the Bulls, Lakers, and Celtics!

After just playing the Western Conference Finals and before the official start of the Finals, Fang Zhuo's angry jersey tearing scene has become the cover photo of the world-renowned magazine "Sports Illustrated".

In addition to the regular coverage of basketball events by the sports circle and mainstream media, some media also mentioned O'Neal who appeared at the scene of the seventh game.

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

Although O'Neal ran for the election, there was another woman named Shea who confirmed that she would compete for the position of the general leader next year before him. She is the most promising and most supported democratic leader in the party, and others seem to be just running for the job.

However, the road is walked step by step.

O'Neal attended the celebration banquet of the Rockets' victory in the Western Conference Finals. He was quite satisfied with his witnessing the miracle this time.

Unlike previous campaign strategies, O'Neal's team attaches great importance to the power of the Internet new media.

Just watching the game and shouting a few slogans can share the fans' emotions brought by the Rockets' miracle. There is no more cost-effective thing than this.

The celebration banquet was full of joy, the team was happy, and Fang Zhuo and O'Neal were like old friends.

How can you not have a few rich friends in the United States when doing administration?

How can you not have a few administrative friends in the United States when doing business?

In addition, O'Neal really likes basketball, so this two-way run is even more pleasant.

The next day, before leaving, O'Neal asked Mr. Fang: "Is there definitely no problem with this finals?"

"I am very sure, the Cavaliers' lineup is not good." Fang Zhuo is very confident in the finals, "If there are no accidents, the Rockets will win the cup 4:0 or 4:1."

"Then we have to win the championship at the Cavaliers' home court." O'Neal smiled, "I will come to the scene in the fourth game to celebrate for you, how about it?"

The Rockets, who ranked fifth in the Western Conference regular season, actually had the home advantage after entering the finals. Both scores were away games.

Fang Zhuo agreed of course.

By the way, he also talked about financial management.

O'Neal had a small amount of money in Fang Zhuo's fund before, and then put it into Paulson's short-selling fund, and the returns have been quite good.

As the saying goes, if you don't manage your finances, your finances won't manage you.

O'Neal was very satisfied with this completely formal income.

Fang Zhuo now plans to secretly invest this money in the short-selling of Lehman Brothers, which is still formal and every penny can be traced. As for how much money can be earned in the end, it depends on the short-selling operations in this process.

Although the Rockets have not won the championship yet, Fang Zhuo has come to an end in his mind. Not to mention his ties with O'Neal and further interests, calculating the time, the positive sportsmanship after the finals can be introduced into the mobile phone conference.

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

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

There are only two weeks left before the conference.

While Mr. Fang is busy with the team, Yike's team has two rounds of talks with T-Mobile.

On June 12, the R&D center submitted the finalized Mars mobile phone.

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

Its biggest disadvantage is that the stability of the Android system is still a problem worth worrying about.

As the person in charge of the last two rounds of negotiations, Yu Hong also witnessed the Mars that was about to be released on stage.

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

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

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

Yu Hong was not very satisfied with the content she was responsible for: "Now it seems that we can only wait for the iPhone to be launched to see if its performance can arouse changes in Legere. This cooperation draft will be postponed to the 24th. I want to see their final attitude."

Press conference on the 26th, and signing of cooperation draft with operators on the 24th.

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

The negotiation is still quite difficult.

T-Mobile is no longer willing to increase the price. Leger clearly knows that Yike’s press conference is just around the corner, and they are not the anxious party.

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

Half a year is enough time for Yike Mars to be optimized to a better level, not to mention that Yike has indeed spent a lot of money and energy on this front camera, and its global uniqueness deserves a higher purchase price.

However, the operator also asked a tricky question-how long can Yike Mars’ uniqueness last?

Once Mars proves the appeal of the front camera to consumers, other mobile phone manufacturers will inevitably follow up, 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.

This is the basis of the objection between Yike and T-Mobile.

"290, 6%, 3+9, 2 years of exclusivity, 24th." Fang Zhuo muttered the current negotiation situation.

Yike actually has one last sales bet that has not been added.

He thought for a while. The cooperation draft is not binding. It is just a display of the attitudes of both sides.

"Mr. Yu, what do you think if we add the sales condition to the last negotiation? And the 2-year exclusivity, 2 years is no problem, can the exclusivity condition be changed?"

Yu Hong knew the meaning of the song: "Do you still have hope for V business?"

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

Yu Hong thought about the negotiation situation after two rounds.

2 years of exclusivity 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 discussed for a long time are suddenly modified. Isn't the intention obvious?

Therefore, this requires adding a new condition of sales hedging.

Negotiation, negotiation, it is necessary to talk, and it also requires each party to make their own judgment.

The contact with T-Mobile was actually handled by Google last year, and it was still not completely confirmed until the launch conference this year.

The cooperation with operators is a hard nut to crack.

"The European market is still exclusively for T-Mobile. They may get better sales in that market than in the US market. We can try to negotiate with the US side." Yu Hong thought for a while and said so.

"Let's have another round of talks on the 23rd. I will call Schmidt and Jacob, and everyone will have another quarrel." Fang Zhuo pondered, "How do you think the sales conditions should be set appropriately?"

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

Before reaching an agreement on subsidies with T-Mobile, the price was planned to be lower, the hardware cost was 220, and the listing price was about 360. The preferential strategy will be determined according to the situation. The sales target within one year is 2 million units.

After discussing the subsidy intention, the target became 5 million units within one year.

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

But no matter what the price and the corresponding sales volume, although it is far less than the sales volume of mobile phone giants such as Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung, it can be regarded as a success in gaining a foothold in the mobile phone market for the first time.

After all, the global sales volume of smartphones this year is estimated to account for 10% of the total mobile phone market, and the annual sales volume is around 100 million units.

Moreover, Yike has not yet considered the Chinese market opened in the second half of 2008.

Yu Hong did not rashly answer Mr. Fang's question about sales volume.

She had her own judgment, but she still held a small meeting to discuss before giving her opinion: "T-Mobile is willing to subsidize users, 3 million and 5 million are appropriate numbers, and adding 1 million sales on top of that will put a lot of pressure on sales."

"Then let's talk about it this way, 3 million, 5 million, 6 million, and finally add 7 million or 8 million." Fang Zhuo said, "The final sales volume can exceed T-Mobile's psychological expectations, and the purchase price will be 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 pull Schmidt to mix it up." Fang Zhuo didn't forget his partners and sighed, "There must be some dreams."

Smartphone sales are estimated to be 100 million units this year, and 8 million is 8% of the global market.

However, Yike's sales share should be classified as 2008, when the global smartphone market will still have a significant increase.

Yu Hong nodded. This is how high-end negotiations are. Schmidt is very suitable. He has a loud voice. Mr. Fang has an advantage in this kind of situation from the beginning. She will never forget the scene where Mr. Fang refuted the venture capital one by one at Hang Lung 23.

The co-founder continued to talk about the preparations before the mobile phone launch conference, and did not forget to remind Mr. Fang to rehearse.

Finally, she asked: "The mobile phone will be launched soon. Are you nervous?"

Fang Zhuo made a gesture of tearing a jersey in anger: "Fortunately, after training on the court, I have become stronger."

Yu Hong knew that Mr. Fang had feelings for basketball, indeed, but not that much.

…

Yiko Company announced the time of the mobile phone launch conference and invited media and guests to witness the new smart phone on June 26.

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

Apple iPhone is confirmed to be released on June 29. As an old rival, Yike deliberately released it three 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 its friends?

Many media outlets enthusiastically signed up to participate, and Apple also expressed concern after receiving the news.

Yike Company conducts final debugging on the mobile phone and researches release process tips, while Fang Zhuo continues to witness the Rockets' three consecutive championships.

On June 14, the first game of the NBA Finals started at the Rockets' home court.

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

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

"I believe that the next three games will be equally boring. I may be more looking forward to the scene of Mr. Fang tearing off his jersey when he wins the championship."

As expected, there were no big surprises in the next three games, except for the twists and turns in the third game, including the final game that decided the series.

On June 21, the Rockets swept the Cavaliers 4-0 and won three consecutive championships in team history.

However, team owner Fang Zhuo remained calm while sitting on the sidelines during these four games.

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

He's like a huge Rockets fan.

But Fang Zhuo knew what he wanted. Some reporters also interviewed Xiao Ao and asked him bluntly whether he was confident of winning 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. You are asking about next year."

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

"Why not?"

Xiao Ou, who enjoyed the game, answered the questions cheerfully. The Rockets, who were not optimistic, won the championship, so let everyone see what else can happen.

The scene of winning the championship was a little chaotic.

After being interviewed, Fang Zhuo hugged the coaches and players one by one, and also briefly communicated with the disappointed 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 had won his second FMVP trophy.

Fang Zhuo delivered a brief victory speech.

"Thank you to my coaches and players. It is your championship heart that has won all this. Thank you to the fans who always support us. It is your every encouragement that supports our strong fighting spirit."

"Thank you also to the alliance and all our partners."

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

Fang Zhuo is very sincere.

There were sporadic sounds from fans at the scene.

"Tear one off!"

"Tear one off!"

Fang Zhuo heard the requests from the fans and fulfilled their wishes, giving the Rockets the last chance to win three consecutive championships.

The jersey was not torn.

The shouting remains the same.

"Why not?"

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

While Fang Zhuo is worried that this group of people will not be able to connect him, he is already looking to Silicon Valley to start the launch of Yike Mars.
