Build your own IP business empire

Today, Kobe, 38, has become the most successful and commercial superstar in the history of N B A after Jordan's 20 season.

And there are indications that Kobe will be pformed into a business superstar from a basketball court superstar after retiring.

Itself is capital IP, coupled with the high popularity, no doubt tamped the commercial foundation.

In the early days, there was news that Kobe was not interested in becoming a team boss or coach. He would still do something closely related to basketball in the future.

Kobe emphasized his idea of being a real boss: "I enjoy the process of building up, creating a company, or promoting collaboration with others, including creativity, marketing, product design and so on."

In addition to the salary of more than 300 million dollars, Kobe earned more than 300 million dollars in advertising fees for his career, and he started planning business after retirement two years ago.

In 2013, Kobe founded the "Kobe company", aiming at "having and helping brands create fame, challenge and redefine the sports industry."

Besides investing in business activities for Kobe, his company also invests.

His first investment was BodyArmor, a new sports drink, with a budget estimated at between 4 million and 6 million dollars.

It is reported that Kobe joined the board of directors of the company, has more than 10% stake, becoming the third largest shareholder.

Kobe said: "people in the entertainment industry always like to invest in the way of" people do not give money ", and I do the opposite.

Kobe described the company's mission as "supporting and supporting those challenges and redefining the brand and creativity of the sports industry, and developing it and inspiring the whole world".

Last year, Kobe also entered the Chinese market and reached the three party cooperation with ALI and Sina. Not only did the Kobe documentary "Muse" be released, but also Kobe's Chinese subsidiary was set up to develop the Chinese market.

As he revealed in last year's interview, he said he wanted to do something that ordinary people thought sports people could not do. "Giorgio Armani only started the" Armani brand "at the age of 40, and at the age of 40, life is still long.

In a competitive arena, you can never stop, because once it stops, it means elimination.

"World champions" is a driving force for progress, and it will also become a nightmare awakening at midnight.

Goodbye, Kobe, if we don't have any more youth.

Leaving the stadium is another brand new start.
