Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Six hundred and sixtieth chapters fake harm

Chapter 663

The Bryant Eagle County incident immediately made front page headlines across the United States.

The sexual assault case involving a top star is more fragrant than any gossip, and it instantly became the focus of the whole United States.

At the Nike headquarters, executive Dyson looked at the latest newspaper and said: The police in Eagle County have signed an arrest warrant for Kobe. It seems that Kobe is at least going to sue.

I didn't expect things to turn out to be so big. I thought that woman was just trying to blackmail Kobe for a sum of money. Kobe should calm down, and now he's going to court! The assistant next to him also sighed.

How should I put it, it can only be considered Kobe's bad luck when encountering such a thing! Dyson continued: However, we can only temporarily let go of the matter that we wanted to dig Kobe over!

I reckon this matter will cost money in the end. It's not that Kobe doesn't have the money to hire a lawyer, so he shouldn't be convicted! the assistant said.

Hiring a better lawyer can indeed get him out of the crime, but it will also greatly affect his image. At least the sponsors will keep him away. Maybe this guy will never recover and lose his commercial value forever.

Dyson paused, and then continued; Anyway, we have successfully won LeBron James, so we don't have to go to Kobe's muddy water.

...

Boss, I'm sorry to bother you. You should not be asleep yet, right? James Bond said in a hurry.

I didn't go to bed so early. Li Weidong continued: Call me in such a hurry, is there any latest progress on Kobe's affairs?

Yeah, I just received the news that the Eagle County Police has signed an arrest warrant for Kobe. The situation is not good for Kobe. He is likely to face criminal charges. James Bond said.

Based on the American legal system, Kobe shouldn't be imprisoned, right? It's not that he doesn't have money to hire a lawyer. Li Weidong said.

But this has dealt a huge blow to Kobe's image, and many sponsors have terminated their cooperation with Kobe. James Bond went on to say:

But this may be good news for us, because Nike has also given up Kobe, and we don't have to worry about Kobe being poached by Nike.

Li Weidong said, Kobe has worked with us for many years after all.

This is the time when he is facing difficulties and needs support the most. Well, let's issue an announcement to express our belief in Kobe's innocence and will support him consistently!

In this case, will it affect our brand image? In fact, we can continue to cooperate with Kobe, but we don't need to express our position at all. James Bond said.

There is an old saying in China that a friend in need is a friend, so we need to express our position, so that Kobe will appreciate us. Li Weidong continued:

And I think Kobe is worth our gamble! Jordan has retired, and Kobe is still young. As long as he gets through this difficulty, he is likely to grow into the number one player in the league. By then, our brand value will also rise. !

And we are also expressing an attitude. For the spokesperson, even if they make a mistake, we will not abandon them. I believe that other spokespersons will not leave us easily after seeing it.

After finishing the call, James Bond picked up a gossip magazine, which published a photo of the hotel receptionist.

You don't look good, you're just young... James Bond frowned.

A few days ago, when Nike wanted to poach Kobe, the boss was not in a hurry and said that Nike would voluntarily give up. Did he expect something to happen?

My boss, it’s okay to have a unique vision for rookies, but how can I have such a precise vision for the sex incident? Could it be that the female receptionist was arranged by the boss!

...

Although Kobe was arrested by the Eagle County Police, he was immediately released on bail.

In the business car, the agent said, I just talked to the lawyer. Based on the current evidence, it can only prove that you have had a relationship, but there is not enough evidence to prove that you have sexually assaulted. If both parties insist on their own opinions, the lawsuit may Will play for a long time.

According to past cases, such lawsuits will eventually be settled, and the key is how much the settlement will cost. Moreover, the lawsuit has been going on for a long time, which is not good for us, so the lawyer suggested that we should take it as our own bad luck, pay more money, and reach a settlement with the other party as soon as possible.

Kobe didn't respond, just looked forward blankly.

Seeing that Kobe was not very interested, the agent said, Let me tell you something interesting! A guy called and said that as long as we are willing to pay 3 million US dollars, we can kill that female receptionist! We have Called the police, and Buddha found out about that guy, who is said to be a fitness trainer.

Kobe still sat there indifferent.

The agent sighed lightly, and continued: Kobe, I know this matter has hit you hard, but you need to cheer up! Immediately!

Well, if there is any bad news, tell me together! Kobe finally spoke.

There are three more sponsors who have decided to terminate their cooperation with us. There is also Nike, didn't they want to poach you before, and now they have decided to cancel the previous plan. This time, our loss may be as high as tens of millions of dollars.

The agent paused, and then continued; The other thing is our sneaker sponsor Feiyue...

Fei Yue is going to terminate the contract with me, right? Kobe asked sullenly.

No, you guessed wrong this time. The agent said with a smile on his face: Fei Yue issued a statement today, saying that he believes you are innocent and will support you as always.

In addition, the CEO of Feiyue also called me and said that Feiyue will continue to cooperate with us regardless of the outcome of this incident!

Feiyue is still willing to support me! Kobe Bryant showed a touched expression on his face.

Since the outbreak of the Eagle County incident, many sponsors have interrupted their cooperation with Kobe, and they can't wait to get rid of their relationship with Kobe. It's good enough to be silent.

Except for his family and agents, almost no one stood up to support Kobe, including Kobe's teammates and the Lakers' management.

Today, a sponsor finally came out to support Kobe, which made him feel a rare warmth in his heart.

Thank Feiyue for me. Kobe took a deep breath and continued; Also, tell Feiyue that since I have signed a lifetime endorsement contract with Feiyue, I will not switch to other brands, and I will not go anywhere!

...

Judging from the various information released by later generations, Kobe's Eagle County incident obviously encountered a fairy jump.

From a moral point of view, derailment in marriage must be something wrong, which is the biggest stain in Kobe's life.

And Kobe was punished accordingly and suffered a huge blow.

In terms of family, Kobe's wife Vanessa had a miscarriage because of this incident. Perhaps Kobe also lost a son and no heir to his basketball career.

If Vanessa can keep this child, maybe we can still see Bryant today, wearing his father's number, galloping on the court.

In terms of business, Kobe suffered heavy losses. A large number of sponsors left him, with direct losses of tens of millions of dollars and indirect losses of hundreds of millions.

Historically, Adidas also gave up Kobe because of this incident and began to focus on training Tracy McGrady. Kobe therefore switched to Nike, but because of the impact of the Eagle County incident, Kobe did not get a good contract in Nike.

On the court, Kobe's data also dropped sharply, from 30 points per game to 24 points per game.

For most of the season, Kobe kept shuttling between the stadium and the court in order to deal with the lawsuit. He missed some practices and sometimes didn't even feel the court until the game started. Teammates complained about this, and it also made the atmosphere in the Lakers' unharmonious locker room even more tense.

This season, the F4 formed by the Lakers lost to the Pistons, the legendary superstar Karl Malone retired sadly, and the OK combination also fell apart.

Fortunately, in the two seasons from 2005 to 2007, Kobe entered his peak and started a personal performance show mode, including an amazing performance of 81 points in a single game, which helped him quickly regain his popularity.

Afterwards, the two championships of the Lakers completely confirmed the title of the league's first man, and this can be regarded as completely washing away the stains on their bodies.

...

Wang Jiuyang, general manager of Puppy Electric Company, just got out of the car when he heard someone crying in the office building.

What happened? Wang Jiuyang quickened his pace and walked over following the sound.

My daughter was disfigured because she used your soymilk maker. You don't even pay attention to her. The unscrupulous merchants deserve to be hit by thunder! A woman's scream sounded.

Wang Jiuyang walked in, and saw a middle-aged woman in her forties who was throwing a tantrum on the ground.

What's going on? Wang Jiuyang asked.

A staff member quietly approached and said, Mr. Wang, this person said that his daughter used our soybean milk machine to make soybean milk. The soybean milk machine suddenly exploded during use, and the hot soybean milk spilled on her daughter's face. It caused a burn, and she came to ask for an explanation!

Our soybean milk machine exploded? This is unlikely! The quality control at the electrical appliance factory has always been very strict! Wang Jiuyang frowned, and then asked: How is the condition of the injured?

It is said that it has been sent to the hospital, and the specific injury is not yet known. The staff paused, and then said: This woman came to ask us for medical expenses and compensation.

How much does she want? Wang Jiuyang continued to ask, he was worried that the other party was deliberately defrauding.

I didn't say that. The staff member replied.

Wang Jiuyang thought for a while, then stepped forward.

Hello, I'm Wang Jiuyang, the general manager of Xiaogou Electric. You can't solve the problem even if you are crying. I think it's like this. Can you get up first, let's go inside and talk slowly? Wang Jiuyang said.

General manager? Are you in charge? the middle-aged woman asked with a vigilant expression.

Wang Jiuyang nodded: Yes, I am in charge, and I am also helping you solve problems. Everyone here has to listen to me, so it is most effective for you to tell me what happened. Over there is the reception room , let's go there together, what happened, please tell me slowly.

Seeing that the man in charge came, the woman stopped crying and followed Wang Jiuyang directly to the next meeting room.

Someone poured double the amount of tea, and Wang Jiuyang said, This eldest sister, drink some tea to moisten your throat first.

The woman took a sip of tea, calmed down, and then said: I bought one of your soymilk machines, and I went home to make soymilk. It was fine at first, but after only ten minutes of use, the soymilk machine Suddenly it exploded, and my daughter happened to be standing next to her, and the hot soybean milk splashed all over her face! Half her face was ruined! How can she get married after this!

There is such a thing! Although Wang Jiuyang had already heard about it, he still deliberately showed a surprised expression, and then asked, Has the person been sent to the hospital?

The woman nodded: It has been sent, the doctor said...

The woman was only halfway through when Wang Jiuyang interrupted her: Hurry up and prepare some condolences, and then pay some money from finances. I want to go and see the injured in person!

Then Wang Jiuyang turned his head to look at the woman, and continued: Sister, I think it's more important to treat the injury first, and we'll discuss the rest later. Let's go to the hospital first to find out about your daughter's condition. I also know a few experts in the burn department, let's find a way to restore your daughter's appearance as much as possible.

Hearing that Wang Jiuyang was going to the hospital in person, the middle-aged woman paused for the time being.

After sending the middle-aged woman away, Wang Jiuyang found his subordinates and said in a low voice: After a while, after you come out of the hospital, you can find an excuse to go to the injured person's house and investigate whether her daughter was really killed by our soybean milk machine. It was injured. And we must take back the soymilk machine that was blown up.

...

Under the pretense of going to the home for condolences, the subordinates came to the home of the injured, delivered milk and eggs and other condolences, and then brought back the broken soybean milk machine.

Looking at the soymilk machine that had been burned black, Wang Jiuyang subconsciously picked up a fragment of the casing.

Why is it so thin? Isn't this cutting corners! Wang Jiuyang frowned, and said to himself: What did Wang Jing do, did he leave the product quality behind? Appearing? Did this guy fill his pockets!

Just then, a technician walked in.

It's this soymilk maker. Hurry up and find out the cause of the explosion. Is it a design problem or a material problem? Wang Jiuyang ordered.

The technician immediately stepped forward, looked at it for a few seconds, then turned around.

The reason was found so quickly? Wang Jiuyang asked immediately.

Mr. Wang, the cause of the explosion has not been found yet, but it is certain that this is not our product! The technician said.

What do you mean? You mean this is another brand of soymilk maker? Wang Jiuyang stared, and said with a displeased face: Since it's not our soymilk maker, why do women come to our place to make trouble! This is not wronged people!

The technician explained: Mr. Wang, although this is not our product, the appearance is the same as our product from the remaining parts.

Moreover, the materials used in this soybean milk machine are very inferior, the worst materials from the inside to the outside, the circuit layout is also very simple, and the parts are also the worst products.

If I'm not mistaken, this soybean milk machine should be a counterfeit and shoddy product. It is a fake made by a small workshop that imitates our soybean milk machine!

Fake and shoddy! Wang Jiuyang breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, it's not our product. It's just a pity for that girl, she was disfigured at a young age. Fake products are harmful!
