366. I don't care if my teammates have money (5000 words for a monthly pass)(1/2)
After breakfast, Zhang Hao drove to Time Warner Training Hall, where many reporters were taking photos outside the training hall.
O'Neal gave Zhang Hao's 21st birthday gift. A Ferrari costing $330,000. This news quickly dominated the headlines of major sports and entertainment news.
Yesterday, Zhang Hao held a birthday party at a restaurant in Inglewood Town, which has been in the news. Several media outlets also reported video clips on headlines or news programs, but O'Neal's delivery of a car is much more influential than Zhang Hao's birthday party.
Ignoring the reporters who waved his hand and hoped that he would stop for interview, Zhang Hao went straight into the parking lot.
It happened that Kenny Anderson also arrived at the training hall at this time. Before the car was parked, he ran down and looked at it and said, "oh, Aix, this is the car that Shaq gave you? It's so cool! Will he also give me a car on my birthday?"
Zhang Hao replied: "When you turn 21, he will probably give you it."
“…”
Kenny Anderson was speechless. How many people in the NBA can celebrate their 21st birthday?
Even if several high school students have been selected in the past two years, the total number of people with one hand is probably about one hand!
Other players are 21 or 22 years old in the NBA, and 23-25 years old.
After a moment of speechlessness, Kenny Anderson went to park the car.
While walking towards the training ground, Kenny Anderson said, "I didn't expect Shaq to be so generous. I thought he would come because he had a bad relationship with you..."
generous... Zhang Hao feels that O'Neal just wants to make the headlines and show off!
Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson arrived at the training ground and chatted while practicing three-pointers. The key point was to get used to the new three-point line. When there was an old three-point line, they could get used to it, but the original three-point line was gone. When playing games, they often used to the strength of the original three-point line.
This is the reason why their team did not touch the three times many times when they played against the Hawks.
Rick Fox arrived shortly after the two arrived. He was the first one to arrive at the stadium except the two of them. He threw it away and wanted to fight back by himself.
When it was nearly 9 o'clock, his teammates arrived at the training hall one after another.
What makes Zhang Hao feel bad is that every teammate will ask about the car O'Neal sent...
O'Neal stepped on the spot and arrived the last time. He went to a coffee shop near the training hall very early today, and hid in the window wearing a windbreaker, a hat and a mask... The owner of the coffee shop almost called the police, and his look was too similar to a terrorist.
After all his teammates' cars entered the training hall, he drove into the parking lot next to the neighborhood and was interviewed by reporters who were waiting outside the training hall.
O'Neal is the best player in the Lakers since the start of the season. He has performed well in the first game after entering the middle of the season. Although he is not very good at scoring, he is strong and has no disadvantage in the match against the super rookie of the 76ers... It is obvious that he wants to grab the boss position.
Such a team role is generous and generous. They usually give gifts on holidays and their teammates' birthdays. This time, they gave Zhang Hao a Ferrari, which greatly improved their image in the minds of their teammates.
After the morning training, Zhang Hao also found O'Neal and thanked him.
O'Neal said proudly: "It's not an expensive gift. I have little intentions. Don't thank me specifically..."
Although the 330,000 USD was painful, it made the headlines and his teammates kept praising him, O'Neal was very satisfied.
The reason why I didn't send the car directly to the birthday party yesterday was mainly because there were too many people and there were many celebrities at that time. Although there were no first-line stars, giving gifts at that time must have been just one of the names mentioned, such as "O'Neal even gave a Ferrari", but today it was different. I sent it directly to Zhang Hao's house and notified the media.
O'Neal was in the limelight throughout the day. After the evening training, he was surrounded by reporters when he drove out of the Time Warner Training Hall parking lot.
He was a little puzzled. Didn’t the reporters leave one after another at noon? Why are they blocking again now?
However, since there is an interview, O'Neal will not be absent. He got off the car decisively and was ready to show off again.
The reporters immediately surrounded him and set up their guns and cannons.
Just as O'Neal was ready to start showing off, the reporter's question confused him...
"The members who won the championship last year have customized 24 Ferraris. He designed the car's shape himself. The chief designer of Ferrari said that he likes Aix's design very much and invited Aix to be Ferrari's design consultant..."
...
The stars of other teams were speechless. How capable are the stars of the Lakers?
There is no one else who can do this fancy headlines!
O'Neal gave Zhang Hao a Ferrari, and major TV stations rushed to report that in the evening, Tracy Murray went storm and scored 50 points in a single game. This character player who averaged 13.3 points per game so far this season and averaged 16.1 points per game in his career, soared 50 points in 50 points in the season, should be a hot news?
As a result, someone broke the news at noon that Zhang Hao spent tens of millions of dollars to give the winners a gift package...
Ferrari's North American headquarters held a press conference to confirm the matter.
It was a little different from what the reporter said when asked O'Neal when he asked O'Neal. Zhang Hao opened a company and built a car design brand "Tesla", registered the trademark, designed the appearance of the car by himself, and created the first car Ferrari-Tesla-Big Shark for "Tesla" in a cooperation with Ferrari.
According to a Ferrari spokesperson at the press conference, the exterior of this car was designed by Zhang Hao. It is said that it has been in preparation since winning the championship last season, and Ferrari is responsible for the technology, craftsmanship and other aspects.
In addition to Zhang Hao’s customized model, this model may also be put into mass production...
As soon as this news comes out, no matter how much 50 points a single game is, it doesn't matter.
A small number of people can tell at a glance that this is Ferrari's gimmick and hype.
Of course, Zhang Hao should really provide an idea of the appearance of the car, but whoever buys a car will control the appearance of the car is designed by whom? He can only control whether the appearance of the car is good-looking or not.
Moreover, if a mere appearance design is at most a design fee, the joint model may have a small dividend, but it will never be a big amount, otherwise Ferrari would never agree to cooperate like this.
But in the eyes of most people, this is too awesome!
Cooperate with Ferrari to sell cars!
Of course, the media reports can be reported as much as possible...
Originally, in the middle of the season, basketball fans were already aesthetically exhausted, and the NFL was playing in full swing, and their attention to the NBA was declining. Even if the All-Stars voted on the weekend, they still reduced a lot of attention.
But the two Lakers’ superstars have made trouble one after another, showing off their wealth in a fancy way, and snatching attention in a crazy way!
NBA president David Stern was speechless. He tried every means to create hot news in the middle of the season every year, but the results were not very good. This year, because the labor-management negotiations were not going well, he had no time to care about this. The decline in revenue caused by the decline in attention in the middle of the season was far less than the possible loss of shutdowns.
Whoever thinks that Zhang Hao will do something casually, and major TV stations and newspapers have greatly increased their coverage of the NBA!
After the Magician retired for the first time, he opened a chain of fast food restaurants with a net worth of hundreds of millions; Jordan is a small shareholder of Air-Jordan, and is expected to receive more than $50 million a year after retirement, and only based on the current profit dividends; the 76ers' Coleman Stadium was frustrated and was proud of the mall, following his big brother Dave Bing to short the Detroit auto industry. When he was reimbursed for the 95-96 season, he earned nearly $200 million in just six months...
Zhang Hao's development and utilization of his commercial value was also discovered by the media at this time.
"I secretly opened a company" The Internet stuff under the company was not exposed, but the cooperation with Starbucks, clothing brands, record companies, etc. was exposed.
The most important thing is that Zhang Hao obtained some of the original shares of Starbucks, and he is also the second largest shareholder of Starbucks (China)...
At this time, people realized that in addition to playing basketball, Zhang Hao had already begun to plan his own business path.
There is no doubt that this adds another glory to Zhang Hao's already legendary basketball career.
In the current Asia-Pacific financial crisis, China's counter-trend economy has begun to attract European and American countries. Since few people paid attention to it a few years ago, it has become an important emerging market in the eyes of capital.
David Stern also paid special attention to Wang Zhizhi and 17-year-old center Yao Ming who came to the United States to study for high school.
Although the popularity and attention point are not right, David Stern always feels strange, but at least the popularity is there!

"I have been the spokesperson for the car brand since my rookie season and have always wanted to design a car by myself. It's a coincidence that I was inspired on my birthday and perfected the design drawings of the car."
"There will not be only members of the first championship who receive the gifts I gave me. Every time I win the championship, I will design a car model for my teammates who win the championship together. Teammates who can't get the gifts for the time being don't have to worry. I think you will receive the gifts soon."
"Am I comparing Mr. O'Neal who is richer? No, I'm grateful to Mr. O'Neal for sending me the car.
When I get along with my teammates, I don’t care whether my teammates have money or not, I don’t have money anyway.”
On January 9, on the morning of the game day between the Lakers and the Hornets, Zhang Hao was "forced" to attend the team's regular press conference.
There are not many answers, but every sentence has become popular news.
Especially the sentence "I don't care if my teammates have money..."
The key is that there is no way to refute it. There are Starbucks' original stocks, which... makes many people sigh that Howard Schultz has a good vision and has already started to make plans when he was completely unattracted in the Chinese market a few years ago.
O'Neal enjoyed headline treatment for a long time, and in the next time, sports news, entertainment news...even financial news, Zhang Hao dominated the screen!
...
“I don’t care if my teammates have money (*)
Props provided: Ferrari's new sports car exterior design plan.
Goal 1: With the help of the host, Zhang Hao needs to give a more sensational gift than Shake O'Neal's delivery. (Completed.)
Goal 2: Zhang Hao needs to announce to the media that he doesn't care whether his teammates have money or not, and needs to use content that can make people remember and spark heated discussion. (Complete.)
Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: 1.90-day lifespan, 2. 1 random medal upgrade card (silver).
The remaining life span is 1232 days, and the available life span is 1231 days."
During the pre-match warm-up period of the game against the Hornets, Zhang Hao finally received a system prompt.
Originally, he was very distressed when he spent millions of dollars to buy gifts with nearly ten million dollars.
90 fate is more important, because money... it is also more important to have a fatal pain.
But unexpectedly, when I chose a future model of Ferrari to customize it, the other party took a fancy to this design and wanted to cooperate...
Pelinka, who has become a businessman, made a suggestion to build a car brand.
When the opportunity came, Zhang Hao certainly had to seize it. After thinking about it, he decided to use the name "Tesla". Coincidentally, no one has registered yet, so register first.
It is very simple to start a company in the United States. It can be done in just a few seconds. Just register with the studio address. There is no factory. You just register all the registered ones. The business you use temporarily is car styling.
Apart from the boss Zhang Hao and the executive Robert Pelinka, there are even no other employees.
Yes, there is no factory, no design line, no product plan... It is a pure shell company that has registered many businesses, and the temporary business is only one Ferrari-Tesla-Shark sports car.
To be continued...
