Chapter 210 Opportunities for Chen Feng
Falk's commercial sense of smell is definitely a very strange existence. The old guy could pick Master Joe outside the magician and Larry Bird. You can imagine how vicious his vision was.
You know, at that time, Master Joe didn't wear a ring on his hand. He was just a fool who had just come out of the University of North Carolina, but Falk saw great commercial value from that guy.
And if you can team up with Nike to create such a great god for the NBA, I guess Falk will do nothing in his life. With such a great achievement, he can walk horizontally in the league.
Even if Bill Duffy and Fagan are crazy about those hope stars and big names now, for David Falk, those guys just want to copy his past glory.
It's just that even if you can sign the little emperor James, it is impossible to erase the existence of Master Qiao. No matter what, that guy is the first person in history.
Businessmen are used to speculative. They always explore some potential stocks that can be used, just like Shen Wansan's investment in Lao Zhu, the mother of the old Song family, and Falk is now aiming at Chen Feng.
Falk is not a divine assembly line, and the little thing between him and Stein is doomed that he can't make a huge wave as casually as before.
Now those team owners and leagues can suppress those big-name brokers, and it is estimated that they are afraid that they will manipulate the transfer of players and make the whole NBA transaction chaotic.
People like Bill Duffy and Fagan are the culprits of the NBA team manager's close prevention. As for Falk, it is estimated that it is necessary to guard against his own players.
You should know that when Falk signed an agency contract with Chen Feng, Angie was melancholy, because even Angie knew very well that if she competed with Falk, she would definitely lose more and win less.
Although it is no longer his peak period, for Falk, the contract to operate such a little guy as Chen Feng is held by hand anyway.
The old man's ability is there, otherwise Fagan would not have let go of Chen Feng's ownership because of his intervention. Falk, a big crocodile, is still very deterrent.
And Falk can maintain his usual keen sense of smell. Although Chen Feng was introduced by his old friend Takanian, people like Falk naturally pay attention to the potential value of the wild boy.
If Chen Feng is not the kind of player who can move him, it is estimated that even if he has Takanien's face, Falk will help deal with the contract at most, and he will not worry about the rest.
This is the choice of a businessman. He only values value, and Chen Feng's potential has naturally been infinitely magnified in Falk's eyes. What he can see is far more than Takanian and others.
The old guy had planned to retire, but when he saw such an animal that moved him, he naturally planned to fight well before he met God.
Falk can't guarantee that he can create another super god like Master Qiao, but with the fierceness of Chen Feng, he naturally doesn't think that this boy can only be an ordinary basketball star.
At least in terms of commercial value, if Chen Feng can kill all the way, his value is definitely not weaker than James.
On this point, Falk has never doubted that he will not hit himself in the mouth. Looking at the commercial value of YAO, the boy's potential still has to be explored.
That's why he threw away Nike and chose to cooperate with Adidas. What he wanted was the uniqueness. Although Adidas also had Howard and McGrady, Falk was confident that the boy could launch his signature on Adidas. Maybe it wouldn't take long before his idea could be realized. Now it's just the beginning. Step by step.
And Falk now feels that he signed the boy, not only the luck of the other party, but also his own. Just a few hours ago, the news he got can definitely make the old guy find useful.
Just before Christmas Eve, the Rockets at home lost to the Clippers, who came to find trouble. The score was very close, 93:98, but Falk was not concerned about the mood of the Houstonians.
As for whether Van Gundy will continue to ** his little hair after losing this game, Falk will not care. What he sees is another level of things.
What he valued was another thing that happened in the game. Less than six minutes after the beginning of the first quarter, YAO was blocking at the defensive end. Tim Thomas of the Clippers fell down, and he directly cheated the little giant.
The shoulder hit the knee, which was such a coincidence, but it made YAO get injured, and a few hours later, Houston announced that YAO's right tibia was cracked, and there would be a truce for at least six weeks.
Of course, these are all the news released by Houston. According to the materials dug out by those media, it is estimated that this truce may be longer. After all, YAO will have minor injuries this year.
It may be a blessing in misfortune not to have an operation, but in any case, it is certain that YAO will have a truce due to injury. As for how long to rest, it is estimated that only the beast team doctors of the Rockets can know.
Er, but it fell into the hands of those Mongolian doctors. It is estimated that even if there is nothing wrong with you, it will be basically useless.
The team doctor of the Rockets is definitely a strange existence with the team doctor of the Trail Blazers. They are all big killers!
That's the news that Falk needs. It's not that the old guy is gloating. It's just that he can smell the opportunity from this news, an opportunity to make the boy become popular faster.
Chen Feng wants to be the signboard of Adidas, which needs to be an absolute opportunity. The explosive performance of the rookie season is one of them, and the conflict with O'Neal is also a catalyst, but these are not enough.
The kind of opportunity that Falk needs is an occasion where he can show Chen Feng's ability to more people, and the all-star feast that kicks off in Las Vegas two months later is naturally the best choice.
Maybe not everyone cares about the NBA's regular season, at least they won't stay in Boston every day to wait for the Celtics to play, especially those fans who are not native to the United States.
But the NBA's All-Star Game is a very famous event on this planet. Even fans who don't watch the regular season much will join in the fun to watch this super show created by basketball stars.
Falk knows very well what benefits it can bring to this kind of event, so he doesn't want to miss this opportunity.
However, before that, there was a list of 60 people in the east and west. In Boston, there were Pierce and Rondo. Chen Feng was on the list, but the two novices behind them would not receive special attention.
After all, on this occasion of all-star voting, it's okay if the fans in your city don't support you. Although Chen Feng and Rondo are a little famous in Boston, they are at most rising stars in the United States.
Compared with big names like Kobe, James, O'Neill, or Nash, they have to stand aside.
As for voting and so on, it naturally has nothing to do with them. Although some people give them two votes, it is estimated that it is not that simple to enter the final list of 24 people.
The possibility of Chen Feng and Rondo participating in the All-Star Game is almost zero, and they have the task of the first grade vs. second grade competition, so Falk didn't think so much at the beginning.
It's enough to show your appearance and be familiar in the rookie competition. This is Falk's plan.
So since the voting began in mid-November, the old guy didn't create any momentum for Chen Feng. There was nothing necessary to work hard. The old guy didn't want to work too hard.
However, YAO was suddenly injured, which made Falk energetic. He could smell the value that could be discovered from this. Perhaps it was not impossible to let the boy participate in the competition.
There are less than 20 days left before the end of the online voting, and only two and a half months before the start of the All-Star Game. Although YAO's injury said that he needs to rest for six weeks, who can guarantee that he will participate in the All-Star?
Even if he can recover, will Van Gundy let him take a risk to participate in the All-Stars if he can recover from the injury after a truce of six or seven weeks? At least if Falk were a coach, he would not take the risk.
The Rockets have McGrady and YAO Ming partners in order to hit the playoffs. McGrady has been injured. Now that YAO is lying down again, Van Gundy will not take any risks.
Even if these two guys are cured, he will keep them in captivity like protecting giant pandas, otherwise, the Rockets' playoffs will be suspended.
Falk is going to take advantage of such an opportunity now. He doesn't expect to let Chen Feng become the ticket king of YAO Ming.
What he needs is attention, part of which comes from China. Although the boy is a little famous in China, it is not enough. Falk needs more attention.
At the time when YAO was injured, another Chinese may appear in the All-Star Game. Such a gimmick is enough to attract a large number of overseas votes.
In addition to overseas, the Chinese in the United States are also another potential energy. What Falk needs now is to add fuel to the flames until he reaches the place in the main competition.
And now the power forwards who can compete with Chen Feng in the East are only Bosh and Little O'Neal. Although these two guys seem to have a lot of votes now, for Falk, those are all floating clouds!
Thinking about how many people YAO Ming's ticket king killed in a second, even O'Neill, a very appealing big man, can't stand it, not to mention Bo Shi, a bitter master who was killed by Chen Fenglun.
Falk really wants to tell those competitors, "If you plan to compare the number of people with the support behind that boy, you will definitely die miserably. How many people are there in China? This base is definitely a complete victory!"
In the eyes of this old businessman, this is an opportunity for Chen Feng. He is even confident that he will help Chen Feng take advantage of this All-Star event behind his back, so that more eyes will start to pay attention to this wild boy.
In Falk's view, Chen Feng's commercial value is a gold mine, and now he is just digging the first shovel.
(The third update, all kinds of request!!! By the way, I recommend two books, "The Super Training Book of Football", Guo Nu's son-in-law's new work, http://book.zongheng.com/book/158421.html, and a traditional hot-blooded basketball competition article of "Beast Basketball". Friends who like to read it can watch it. For a moment.)
