My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 544 The establishment of social media, Mamba II

He agreed? Kobe was a little surprised when he received a call from Pelinka.

Yes, he agreed! Pelinka's affirmative tone sounded like he was breathing a sigh of relief.

In the summer of this year, Kobe was contacted to form an Internet company of his own. The Internet will definitely become a trend, and Kobe, who has abundant funds, will certainly not miss investing in this industry.

So Kobe immediately contacted some celebrities, some Internet giants in later generations, and now some frustrated coders or students. It is not difficult to hire them.

The first is Twitter giant Ivan Williams. The future founder and CEO of Twitter moved to California in 1997 to work at O’Reilly Media. After hearing Kobe's call, I thought about it and happily agreed.

Then came the other backbones, Jack Dorsey, Biz Stone and other core founders of Twitter.

With these people as the core, Kobe recruited a group of coders and inspired to build a new social media in the short term. This social media will replace the current blog, and the BBS forum will become people's first choice for social networking.

With the experience and framework of later generations, it is not difficult for programmers to copy and produce. The difficulty is how to promote and operate it. The current Internet is not as developed as later generations. Even the WINDOWS system has become people's first choice after a long period of word-of-mouth fermentation.

Many things in this era are empty, even if a mature social media system is created. But there may not necessarily be enough users with computers and networks. Even in the United States, the most advanced country in the world, computers in this era are still expensive electronic products.

In addition, current mobile devices cannot be equipped with these software systems at all, and the total number of Internet users is relatively small, making it more difficult to attract people to recognize this software.

Of course, Kobe has his own method. He will personally act as the first batch of users and use his popularity to attract a lot of attention. At the same time, invite your celebrity friends to join and slowly promote this software to the audience.

Maybe it will be operating at a loss in 1 or 2 years, but Kobe knows that online social media will definitely become a trend. Relying on the dividends of the Internet, this social media will dominate the young market. The benefits then will be astonishing.

Moreover, the NBA will become more interesting. Kobe is still very keen to see countless stars squabbling on it. This is also a great help to the promotion of basketball. It can be said that it is precisely because of social media that the public attention of sports events will reach its highest level.

Okay, we are about to return to Los Angeles, and then we will register a company near Silicon Valley.

BOSS, can this make money? Pelinka was a little confused.

You asked a question that will make you laugh out loud five years from now.

The Lakers returned to Los Angeles after picking up their seventh win of the season in Houston and the last of Texas' three-game road trip.

They will have three home games in Los Angeles, and the schedule during this period will be relatively comfortable. Kobe also has time to do things other than basketball.

Speaking of his career outside of basketball, Kobe also sold the next two scripts of Paranormal Activity to Paramount for filming. Riding on the popularity of the first film, the script for The Ghost Story, which earned hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, also sold millions of dollars.

Kobe does not plan to make movies anymore. Now that he is not short of money, he thinks that making movies is too time-consuming and energy-consuming. The next time he personally joins the film industry, I am afraid he will have to wait until he wins the championship.

After returning to Los Angeles, the first thing Kobe did was to register a company.

What's your name?

Let's call it Twitter. Kobe thought for a long time, always feeling that calling him by any other name would cause drama.

Twitter was officially established. Kobe Bryant shares. This is also the first company owned by Kobe where all the shares are controlled by himself. Of course, he will use some shares as a means to reward senior employees in the future, but this time Kobe will hold the big head.

Today's Kobe is no longer the young boy he was last year who had to rely on magicians to set up a company.

Kobe, I need you to come over and take a look. Our second-generation boots will be on sale at Christmas. Mamba Sports called Meg Whitman.

When he learned that Kobe had returned to Los Angeles, he immediately contacted Kobe.

The sales of Kobe Bryant's generation can be called another business miracle, occupying 5% of the US shoe sales market in less than a year! Sales reached 90 million US dollars!

There are still 2 months left, and we are very hopeful to break the sales record of 120 million US dollars set by AJ1 in the first year!

Kobe's performance on the court and his high-spirited spirit on and off the court attracted the love of a large number of teenagers. Sales increased steadily, reaching a climax after the finals, and Mamba Sports' production line was unable to keep up for a while. After all, not everyone has a NIKE-like production line.

But when Kobe Bryant established contact with some domestic manufacturers during his trip to China, the production finally caught up with the demand, and dumping was overwhelming. Not only in the United States, eEbay has established mature online sales channels around the world.

This has caused the sales of the Mamba generation to soar in the past two months, and Kobe's popularity is visibly high. If nothing unexpected happens, there is a high probability that it will break the legendary sales record of $120 million for the AJ1 generation by the end of the year.

Okay. Kobe readily agreed. He happened to be in Silicon Valley and immediately went to Mamba Sports.

Guys! Did you miss me? Facing a group of designers, Kobe raised the corner of his mouth.

Kobe! Please! Sign me your autograph!

“It’s time to win the finals this year!”

Is there any hope of winning this year's MVP?

A group of top designers surrounded Kobe.

Okay, okay. Let's measure our Mamba II first!

The reason why the first-generation sneakers sold so well is of course not only Kobe’s popularity and outstanding appearance. The Mamba Generation's reputation as the number one shoe in actual combat didn't come out of thin air. In the league, players who have not signed their own contracts will almost always choose the Mamba generation.

This allowed Mamba Sports to buy a lot of endorsements for free, but with NIKE and Adidas competing to imitate this year, the quality of other sneakers has also taken a leap forward. It can be said that the birth of the Mamba generation has advanced the technological quality of the basketball shoe industry for 5 years!

The second generation of Mamba is an advanced version of the previous generation. This time it provides two series: high-top version and low-top version. The intention is to further invade the traditional crowd and win over those who think basketball shoes should be high-tops.

Not bad, very beautiful. Kobe looked at the crystal-like ice blue boots and nodded with satisfaction.

Or do some actual measurements?

I'm very happy. Kobe's eyes drifted to the designers around him.
