Chapter 294 Teaming up with Kobe? Seems Good!

Kobe... actually calling himself at this time?

Is it about watching the sun at four o'clock in the morning together tomorrow?

But the sunrise time in New York and Los Angeles seems to be different, right?

Lin Yi sorted out his mood. After all, this is the greatest musician in Los Angeles... Kobe Bryant called himself for the first time. He used to send text messages or something, or Lin Yi took the initiative to call To chat.

"Hey, Lin!"

"Hi, Bryant!"

Lin Yi touched his chin, why did the beginning of this conversation sound like a rap?

"Haha, are you still awake? I happen to have something to tell you." Kobe said on the phone.

"Well, not yet! Boss, tell me!" Lin Yi's friendly shout made Kobe feel very comfortable, and Kobe felt that he had made the right call.

First of all, as a big senior, Kobe congratulated his fan Lin Yi. After all, the data of "60+ triple-double" is really outstanding.

Secondly, Kobe encouraged Lin Yi to make a decisive move, "You are the star of the Knicks, don't pay attention to what the media say, and have the courage to take the team on your shoulders."

Lin Yi thinks Kobe is right, but he really wants to remind Kobe, because the more he shoots, the happier people are, but the boss... Well, after careful consideration, Lin Yi gave up this attempt .

The main reason Kobe called Lin Yi this time was a cooperation.

Kobe asked Lin Yi if he was interested in investing in BodyArmor sports drinks together.

As soon as Kobe said it, Lin Yi came to his senses. As a senior "Komi", how could Lin Yi not know about this?

Don't look at Kobe's low EQ, ah bah, it's obvious that Kobe is too young, but in fact Kobe has done quite well in business investment.

In the future, many NBA stars such as Harden and Klay will be the spokespersons of BodyArmor. During this period, the brand is still unknown, but after they started to enter the sports drink market in 2011, BodyArmor has been snatching it like a rocket. Gatorade Market.

In 2013, Kobe established his own independent company. In 2014, he made his first investment in BodyArmor and became the third largest shareholder of BodyArmor. With the boost, in 2018, bodyarmor has become the third largest sports drink brand in the United States.

The only strange thing about Lin Yi is that this brand should indeed be in the preparation stage now, but they have already started contacting Kobe and negotiating cooperation at this time?

Or did your own appearance cause a butterfly effect?

But in any case, this is a good opportunity, because in the battle between Pepsi and Coca-Cola's Lin Yi, Coca-Cola's endorsement fees are higher, and compared with Gatorade, it is obviously not as much as investing in bodyarmor.

Lin Yi forgot exactly how much money Kobe made from bodyarmor in the future. Anyway, Kobe's investment at that time was successfully multiplied by dozens of times.

Lin Yi suddenly realized that he doesn't have to invest by himself to make money. There are many investment experts in the NBA, such as Iguodala, and building a good relationship with them is also a way to make money.

There is no way, Lin Yi has too many advantages, and with the money he earned in the NBA, he is destined to become a local tyrant in the future.

Kobe told Lin Yi that the two founders of bodyarmor, Lance Collins and Mike Pryor, hoped to work with Kobe because of financial reasons.

"They are going to give me 30% of the shares, Lin, are you interested in doing it together?" Bryant asked.

What are you doing together?

Of course it did!

As "Komi", it's an honor to work with the boss, right?

So it looks like O'Neal is Kobe's true love?

Because Kobe Bryant said: Sharks did too.

That proves that the two have done it together.

In fact, the main reason why Kobe approached Lin Yi was the financial problem, isn't it strange? How could Kobe have no money? Even if Lin Yi has never studied economics, he can know the general idea. This is called risk sharing.

Kobe is indeed optimistic about the prospect of bodyarmor, but $14 million is not a small amount. For athletes who eat youthful food, don't underestimate the $14 million. Because of Lin Yi's influence, bodyarmor appeared earlier than Lin Yi remembered But because it was earlier, it was more difficult for them to start a business than Lin Yi remembered.

After a combination of various complicated reasons, it probably means that they don't have enough money and want to attract partners.

And Kobe thinks the risk is a bit big, but looking at the league......Unless Kobe calls O'Neal, he will find that he really doesn't have many good friends. As for friends outside the circle, many people are not optimistic about Kobe's this time invest.

But Kobe is also a persistent person, he believes that bodyarmor will rise.

So when I checked the news, I saw Lin Yi's headlines, and Kobe immediately thought of Lin Yi.

He has a good impression of Lin Yi, because Lin Yi not only publicly admitted that he is a fan of Kobe, but also has been speaking for Kobe. Every time he gets a high score, he will mention himself, which makes Kobe feel very comfortable.

And Lin Yi's super triple-double this time, Kobe thinks O'Neal must be feeling bad, right?

Don't tell me, Kobe really understands O'Neal, maybe this is love?

If the story of these two people is used to compile a novel, it will definitely explode.

Lin Yi feels that those TV dramas in China can come to the NBA to get material. The love and killing between Kobe and O'Neal is simply not too exciting!

O'Neal carrying Kobe Bryant out of the arena is known as an eternal story, and then the two established a dynasty while arguing with each other. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a TV series in which young couples quarrel constantly in starting a business and finally succeed together!

What's more important is that this story was so exciting that the two really had a quarrel at the end. After the quarrel, they continued to compete. O'Neal found the junior Wade, and Kobe found the junior Gasol. The two compared each other whose partner was better , but after retiring, I found out that you are still the best you ever were!

Lin Yi remembered that after Kobe retired, he realized that what he did was indeed wrong, and O'Neill really understood in the process of interviewing him. In fact, many things between the two of them were really too childish.

Well... this excerpt from.

Closer to home, Lin Yi agreed to join forces with Nao Ke after thinking about it.

Now Lin Yi's popularity is in full swing. After Kobe's two consecutive championships, the Kobes are at their peak. With the endorsement of himself and Kobe, BodyArmor will definitely skyrocket.

The most important thing is that Lin Yi is tired of drinking Gatorade, and the contract that Gatorade gave him makes Lin Yi very unhappy. This kind of monopoly enterprise is really dragging!

Gatorade: We clearly give you the highest standard of treatment!

Kobe didn't expect that Lin Yi didn't even hesitate, which made Kobe feel that it was so right to find Lin Yi. "Okay, that's it for now!"

"No problem!" Teaming up with Kobe? Of course, um, the most important thing is that Lin Yi knows that it can make money, such as special training with Kobe, Lin Yi refused, after all, he didn't want to wake up the sleepy-eyed man at four o'clock in the morning. kobe.

At the end of the phone call, Kobe also chatted with Lin Yi about basketball reasons.

For some reason, before hanging up the phone, Kobe asked Lin Yi to say hello to O'Neill for him.

Lin Yi: "???"

In fact, Lin Yi didn't know that as a "Komi", he hadn't watched many shows.

Only after bitterly winning two championships did Kobe slowly realize that it was really much easier to win the championship with that fat man.

As he got older, Kobe in this period had already begun to step down from the altar. When the injuries became more and more, Kobe also found that he sometimes wanted to give up training.

Whether you are paranoid or young, when youth is gone, what remains are more memories and emotions.

Those years in Los Angeles are destined to become eternal regrets in people's hearts.

Perhaps only when Kobe and O'Neal sit down after retiring, the two face to face can truly untie the knot in the past.

Before Kobe's retirement battle, O'Neal said to Kobe in an interview with JRS Voice: Hey, man, score 50 points in your last battle!

Bryant smiled and said that it was impossible for him to score 50 points again.

However, when Kobe hit 28 irons in the final battle and scored 60 points out of breath, O'Neal shook his head in disbelief on the sidelines. What he felt was not necessarily Kobe's 60 points, but Kobe's persistence.

O'Neal once said in the future, in fact, sometimes he seems to really owe some of Kobe's persistence.

And what about Kobe? If only he could be less paranoid and be better at things...

Unfortunately, the NBA has no ifs.
