Pick Westbrook

Chapter 198 Not Just This Logistics Company

7 month 10 day.

The Las Vegas Summer League is officially underway.

A total of 23 teams participated in the competition.

The Bucks sent Tyronn Lue and Marshall to lead the team in this summer league. At the same time, they arranged for rookie DeMarcus Cousins, plus Andre Ingram, Danny Green and Delaware. Jiqi participated in the game together.

In this Las Vegas Summer League, the purpose of the Bucks is not only to help DeMarcus Cousins ​​adapt to the NBA rules in advance and test his game ability, but also to help Andre Ingram, Dan The idea of ​​Niglin and Dragic growing and returning to form together.

At the same time, Li Lai assigned Tyronn Lue and Marshall an additional task, which was to observe whether there were any potential free agents or undrafted players in this summer league.

At the same time, the lineup of the Dream Nine team for the US Men's Basketball World Cup has also been officially released.

Center: Chandler.

Power Forward: Love, Odom.

Small forwards: Durant, Iguodala, Granger, Rudy Gay.

Shooting guards: Billups, Gordon.

Point guards: Rose, Chris Paul, Devon Harris.

Head Coach: Mike Krzyzewski, nicknamed Old K.

Originally, when the old coach K called the roster of the Dream Nine team, he very much hoped that Westbrook and Curry could participate.

After all, in the international arena, the U.S. team likes to play defensive counterattacks the most. Westbrook's impact ability is very suitable for this style of play. Not to mention Curry, who is good at shooting, he is definitely a big killer in the international arena.

It's just that the two have just gone through the battle in the finals, and they really don't have more physical strength to participate in the Men's Basketball World Cup, so they declined each other.

The Chinese team on the other side of the ocean will also usher in the first warm-up match of the Men's Basketball World Cup next week.

After dealing with the team affairs, Li Lai could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Team office.

Holloway gave Li Lai the pattern of the championship ring.

"This is the pattern of the championship ring that Westbrook, Curry, and Artest obtained after their joint reference."

"There are 39 diamonds on the front of the ring, which symbolizes that the Bucks won the championship again after 39 years. The top circle of the ring is inlaid with 16 princess sapphires, which symbolizes the number of wins we won in the playoffs last season."

"At the same time, it is filled with a total of 67 diamond chips, representing the 67 games we won in the regular season last season."

"Then each player will have a ring with his own name on the side of the ring, but without exception, every ring will have your name engraved on the bottom, Li Lai."

"It was specifically requested by Curry and Westbrook."

Li Lai took the pattern and took a closer look, it was indeed very beautiful.

He looked at Holloway nervously and said, "How much did it cost?"

Holloway looked at the other party's worried face, chuckled, raised her head and said triumphantly, "The two versions total 1000 million!"

"The unit price of the ring with the name version reached 40 US dollars, creating the most record in NBA history."

"You can also be regarded as the owner of the team with the biggest legs in the entire history of the NBA."

Holloway continued: "It takes a lot of time to make the ring, and the ring with the name will probably be officially delivered to the team in mid-October."

"And the version without a name just needs to wait until next month to get it."

Li Lai breathed a sigh of relief.

The cost of 1000 million is the reward that the players who made great contributions to the Bucks last season should receive.

After excluding the 1000 million, the Bucks only made a profit of 4000 million US dollars last season, which Li Lai can accept.

At this time, Li Lai also thought of the income that Li Ning Company brought him this year.

It has been a full 10 months since it was put into use in October last season, and after a mid-term expansion, Li Lai has already estimated the monthly income of Li Ning Company.

Net profit of at least 700 million US dollars!
Converted into 10 months, it is a huge sum of 7000 million!

Of course, because the factory in the early stage was not expanded and the profit was not so much, the real profit amount should be less.

Li Lai had already inquired about Wang Lishen's factory income in advance, but the little girl refused to tell Li Lai, and told him to come to the factory to see it in person.

Li Lai didn't need to think about it, this should be foodie Wang Lishen trying to trick him into taking him out for a wild meal.

After making up his mind, Li Lai borrowed an eighth-hand Alto and drove directly to the factory.

Compared with the previous visits, the factory greening and road construction have been done very well, and the whole factory has a brand new look, which is very beautiful.

The little girl felt very uncomfortable staying alone in the accounting room. There were a lot of snacks and weird food on the table in front of her. Across the table was a TV, which was playing a program that had recently become popular all over the United States.

——Eating all over the world with the six sisters in Los Angeles.

Jordan Carver was talking and laughing on the TV while eating the big Olong in his hand. The juice flowed down her chin as if it had been designed, and the picture was extremely evil.

Wang Lishen put one foot on the stool next to her, looked at the picture on the TV in front of her, and suddenly the snacks in her mouth were not tasty, so she slapped the table angrily and shouted.

"Old man, 666!"

Li Lai had a black line in his head, what kind of words are these f*cking words.

At this time, Wang Lishen also found that Li Lai was right behind her. The little girl's eyes suddenly turned red, and she fell down on the table and began to cry.

"I'm a little girl who left home and came here. I don't know anyone well. You let me stay here alone for 108 days. You didn't come to see me or say hello."

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

Li Lai had a tacit understanding to interrupt the other party in advance and said, "Tell me, what do you want to eat?"

Wang Lishen raised her head from the table, with a few tears shed from her eyes, and said with a breath, "I'm going to Los Angeles to eat Da Olong."

Los Angeles.

Wang Lishen didn't stop for a moment after getting off the plane, jumping up and down happily running up and down the streets of Los Angeles. She couldn't enjoy herself playing alone, and even dragged Li Lai to run around together.

When she was having fun, Li Lai finally asked about the factory's recent situation.

The childish Wang Lishen knew the seriousness of this matter, so she said seriously at this time: "We have earned a total of 1.4 million this year!"

Ok? !

Li Lai was really frightened when he heard this number, so this is a small goal completed in one year, for example, earn him [-] million first?

Wang Lishen continued: "Excluding the 50% shared with Li Ning and the 10% taken by the NBA, you can share 40%, which is 5600 million."

Li Lai nodded, only then did he realize that the 1.2 million yuan mentioned by the other party was the total profit, and the profit of 5600 million US dollars was also similar to Li Lai's expectation.

Adding in the previous 4000 million team income, Li Lai has saved a total of 9600 million US dollars, which is only 1 million away from the 400 million US dollar mark.

This year's off-season, under Li Lai's suggestion, Li Ning's company successively signed DeMarcus Cousins, Cole Aldridge, Paul George and Eric Bledsoe, firmly occupying the With the initiative in the rookie player market, the future situation is very good.

In the past two years, the two business giants, Nike and Adidas, have also discovered Li Ning's sudden appearance in the NBA. The two brand owners have figured out Li Ning's operation mode in the NBA, so they also frantically joined the rookie players. .

But compared to Li Ningyi's accurate vision, Nike and Adidas do not have the ability in this area, so apart from firmly guarding the top three picks in the draft, the rookies at the bottom are basically casting a wide net contract mode.

Sign if you can.

Compared with Li Ning's extremely targeted signing, they need to pay a higher price for it, and it will be difficult to take advantage of it in the long run.

"Mr. Zhang Zhiyuan recently sent a message that because of the Bucks' championship, the sneakers of Westbrook and Curry are once again sold out in China."

"Now Li Ning Company has become a commercial giant in China without any surprises, and it has almost completely squeezed out foreign Nike and Adidas in terms of sports brands."

"The two companies failed to gain a firm foothold in China, and they were about to flee in despair."

"If nothing else happens, next year Li Ning will become a Fortune [-] company and rank fifth in the sports brand list."

Speaking of this, Wang Lishen looked at Li Lai a little more curiously. Even though she had secretly glanced at him many times, new emotions would still appear every time she glanced.

Zhang Zhiyuan expressed his gratitude to Li Lai when he sent the message.

Because of the other party's advice and help, Li Ning has achieved more than twice the economic profit development in the past two years, and his name in the NBA and his influence around the world are also growing.

Zhang Zhiyuan even had a premonition that Li Ning would most likely become the third largest sports brand in the world in the next three years, competing with sports brand giants like Nike and Adidas.

This will be a miracle created by Chinese sports brands in the world.

When eating Da Olong with Wang Lishen, Li Lai also carefully noticed that there were many Jordan Carver posters hanging in the surrounding shopping malls, all of which were products endorsed by her, and the Da Olong in this store was also eaten and broadcasted by her. presented on the program.

Naturally, the shop owner asked her to be the spokesperson of the shop without any surprise.

After eating, drinking and having fun with Wang Lishen all day, Li Lai curiously went to the apartment he rented for Jordan Carver.

Originally, he guessed that Jordan Carver should have left here. After all, she is already a well-known female star now, but he didn't expect that the door opened at the moment of knocking on the door.

Seeing that it was Li coming, Jordan Carver rushed over, hugged him tightly and said, "I knew you would definitely come."

"I watched the game where the Bucks won the championship. You were really good on the sidelines. You and Phil Jackson appeared frequently on the camera."

"The bald commentator with the big mouth is still saying: This guy Li Lai, after this year's playoffs, will step into the ranks of the top coaches in the league, because he has the ability to make the Zen Master Phil Jackson frown. "

Jordan Carver, who saw Li Lai, immediately opened up the chatter box, and the two chatted for a whole night.

During the period, Li Lai also curiously asked about her recent situation. She has made her official debut through eating and broadcasting programs and has become a well-known female star in Los Angeles. She has also been invited by Playboy and WGN-TV Channel [-] in Chicago to shoot the cover advertise.

Now she is no longer the down-and-out girl she was back then, and has successfully realized her star dream. She also told Li Lai that she will grow into a big star who can help him in the future.

Li Lai naturally laughed and expressed his encouragement.

It's just that he hopes that this girl who used to be as clean as snow outside the Bradley Arena will not be polluted by the colors of the entertainment industry.

Day two.

Christine Marie Horton knew Lee was in Los Angeles and invited him to her home.

As soon as Li Lai stepped into the world's most terrifying daughter country, Kendall Jenner jumped directly on him.

Compared with last year, Kendall Jenner is one year older. The little girl has become more bumpy and graceful. If you don't look carefully, you will think that this is a big girl.

"Milwaukee's hero, Bucks head coach Lee Lai, beat Phil Jackson's newly minted league-leading head coach."

Kendall Jenner praised Li Lai with her arms around her, and the little girl's eyes were full of hero worship.

Kim Kardashian on the side blew a chewing gum bubble towards Li Lai, the scene was extremely charming.

Kourtney Kardashian licked her lips like she wanted to eat Lee alive.

Because of the popularity of eating and broadcasting shows, the Kardashian sisters have once again become the focus of heated discussions in the United States. With it, countless commercial activities and endorsement signings have made them earn a lot of money.

Christine-Marie Holden was about to be stunned by the sudden financial shock. She anxiously discussed with Li Lai the content and development direction of next year's eating and broadcasting programs, as well as matters to be introduced and paid attention to, and then Talk about this year's earnings.

This year, the eating and broadcasting company they co-founded has an annual income of 5000 million US dollars. In addition to the income that the sisters want to share, Li Lai received 20% of the 1000 million.

Now that the eating and broadcasting show has just started, next year Christine-Marie-Horton plans to push it to a higher level, and it is conservatively estimated that the income will at least double.

Li Lai talked about the future development direction of eating and broadcasting in detail, and at the same time set his sights on the live broadcasting industry.

If Li Lai remembers well, his previous life was in 2015, when the social networking site Facebook first opened up the online live broadcast function.

Now he hopes that this function can be advanced, so that eating and broadcasting can develop more quickly.

But this is limited by technology, so Li Lai is temporarily at a loss on this matter.

At the same time, Cuban, the owner of the Lone Ranger, transferred the sales share of Li Ning in Europe and further regions, a total of 400 million.

In this way, all of Li Lai's savings reached 1.1 million, which is only 2 million US dollars short of the debt of 9 million in three years.

Based on the current monthly income of Li Ning's factory at least 700 million yuan, plus food and broadcasting, sales share and team income, Li Lai conservatively estimates that he only needs 11 months to raise 2 million yuan in debt.

This big stone that weighed on his heart was finally about to be resolved.

However, Li Lai still felt that this time was too long, or that it was not safe enough, so he didn't want to wait until 11 months to pay off the debt according to the current situation.

He wants to advance.

It is best to resolve this matter before the start of the playoffs next season, so that he can lead the team to the playoffs without any worries.

Cuban said on the phone: "Brother, I have sent someone to investigate the idea of ​​the logistics transfer station you proposed before."

"Now 80% of people in the United States are dissatisfied with Amazon's delivery efficiency, especially in North America and some remote places. They generally wait for goods to be delivered to their door for as long as 2-3 weeks!"

"Because of the extremely inconvenient transportation in those remote places, five transportation companies have refused to cooperate with Amazon in the past three years. Now Amazon is also busy with this mess."

"So I think your idea of ​​establishing a transfer station and self-owned supply warehouse is feasible, and we can find an opportunity to sit down and have a good talk?"

Li Lai readily agreed to Cuban, and went to Dallas that night.

With Cuban are his brain trust and company executives who are good at handling affairs.

Even though this is not a particularly big project, Cuban takes it extremely seriously. Teby is dealing with business, and he is meticulous and rigorous.

Li Lai clarified his own ideas and some suggestions in detail. After repeated scrutiny by these think tanks and company executives, they finally agreed that this is feasible.

They believe that there is no logistics company in the whole world that has such an advanced delivery mode.

In the end, these people also preliminarily obtained the profit that the logistics company can get in the first year. After calculating the distribution of Li Ning's sneakers and the distribution of Amazon's remote areas, they got a profit of 1 million in one year!

The first year of establishment costs need to pay only 2000 million US dollars.

Li Lai was a little amazed at the computing power of these think tanks and company executives, and he also admired Cuban more and more.

Being able to recruit such a group of people to think about the feasibility of investment for him, it is no wonder that he can still have so much wealth growth after completely focusing on the NBA.

After listening to this data, Cuban took off his glasses and put down his pen. He looked at Li Lai and said seriously.

"Can you tell me what exactly you want to do?"

The think tank and company executives who heard this sentence took a deep breath.

This is the first time they have seen their boss ask something so seriously, or to a very young boy.

Li Lai spread his hands and said, "Logistics, I had a preliminary discussion with you about this matter last season."

Cuban shook his head and said: "I have a hunch that when this logistics company is successfully established, it will kill other irregular or small logistics companies in a short time."

"At that time, we will have a dominant monopoly on the delivery of the entire online sales industry."

"Li Lai, I feel that you want more than just this logistics company!"
