Chapter 51: Neglect

Starting with golf, the McCormack family's career in the sports economy grew from strength to strength, and soon they expanded their brokerage business into football, baseball, basketball and ice hockey, and today IMG's sports agent has become a true giant in the industry.

Of course, for most people, IMG represents more of the big brother of the modeling economy, Gisele Bundchen, Naomi Campbell and other top supermodels, all of whom are from IMG, and at the peak of IMG, seven of the world's top ten supermodels were their models.

So in the world of sports and modeling, IMG is their Microsoft, and Andrew McCormack is the latest former head of the McCormack family.

The reason why he is said to be the "former" head is also very simple, just like Edgar Brownforman Jr., who played the Universal Group away, Andrew McCormack, the latest family heir, has also inherited the "fine tradition" of "no more than three generations of wealth".

After he took over IMG, he saw that the NASDAQ's Internet stocks were in full swing, so he couldn't hold back the power of the flood in his heart, and bought a large number of Internet stocks in 2000 when they were booming, and as a result, he directly became a receiver.

Then, after a year of hard work, it encountered last year's 911, and the entire North American stock market was as miserable as a dumpling chicken, and a number of Internet stocks bought by Andrew McCormack also declared bankruptcy, directly cutting off his hope of recovering his capital.

It has been less than three years since his son took over, and the whole family has been shaken, and the old Mark McCormack is said to be angry and went straight to the hospital, seeing that he has more air and less air intake.

The once powerful old Mark McCormack also reproduced the "glorious tradition" of many wise people who did not protect their old days, and the father went to the hospital, but the family still had to continue, if little Edgar Brownman also relied on his connections and eloquence to find himself a place in the new Vivendi Group when he sold the Universal Group.

Andrew McCormack, then, was a purely unmotivated Upper East Side kid, so he was overjoyed when he met Sid and Ali, who had come forward to buy IMG.

And in order to better entertain these distinguished guests from the West Coast, he put on an exaggerated hospitality posture, but he didn't expect Sid to want to "mingle" with him at all.

"Sid, you're here at the right time today, we at IMG just have a party of top models tonight, please be sure to enjoy it. Andrew McCormack invited with a smirk.

Seeing the sneer on the other party's face, Sid knew why this guy was able to bring an ace company that had been in the industry for more than 30 years to the brink of bankruptcy in a few years.

It's a teammate who is not afraid of a god-like opponent and a pig-like teammate.

"Forget the party. Sid pouted and said, "We're here to talk about business this time, so let's skip entertainment for the time being." ”

"Well, that's not good. Andrew McCormack said with a "pity": "Today's party is very special, and it would be a pity if Sid didn't attend." ”

Speaking of this, Sid's afterglow saw Ali gesturing to him with eyebrows on the side, Sid couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly: "Then let's do it, Ali will attend on my behalf." ”

"Eh, is that okay?" Andrew McCormack turned to look at Ali Emmanuel in surprise.

"Absolutely. Sid waved his hand unquestionably, and it was settled.

When Sid moved into the presidential suite on the top floor of the Four Seasons Hotel, Andrew McCormack rubbed his hands and said to Ali, "Mr. Leon can't be that he doesn't like women, right?"

"Huh?" Ali looked at Andrew McCormack with a confused expression.

Andrew McCormack hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't get me wrong, I mean, the party I asked IMG models to organize today is all our top models, how could Mr. Leon not be interested?"

"Huh. Ali laughed, and he patted Andrew McCormack on the shoulder, "It's not that he has no interest in women, but only in the best women." ”

"We're all young and beautiful models at today's partyβ€”" Andrew McCormack said hurriedly.

"Is there a Gisele Bundchen?" Ali asked, unexpected.

"Uh-this, that......" Andrew McCormack was immediately speechless by the question.

Although the modeling industry has always been secretly called "beautiful women, dirty industry", but like any industry, people who are at the top are generally no longer bound by the "former rules" of this industry.

And now that Gisele Bundchen, who has fallen in love with Xiao Lizi, is obviously no longer the object that the brokerage company can handle.

Even at that time, IMG fought hard to snatch Gisele Bundchen with ELLE, and for such a heavyweight model client, even Andrew McCormack did not dare to touch it, let alone give it to Sid as a "meeting gift"?

"So, Sid has always had no interest in ordinary women, so I'm going to play with you today. Ali said with a grin.

Then Andrew McCormack turned his head to look at the grinning Ali, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, "Then Ali, you ......"

"Eh-eh," Ali immediately waved his hand, "I would never touch any other woman except my wife, so you can dismiss this thought." ”

"Eh-" Andrew McCormack couldn't help but be a little discouraged when he saw that his "sales" were repeatedly blocked, in the eyes of a negligent kid like him, in order to negotiate a good deal, only by satisfying the buyer's service first, the other party could make a good price.

But seeing that Sid and Ali didn't want the "generous gift" he had prepared, this couldn't help but make him uneasy.

Ali glanced at him and smiled slightly, "If you really want to befriend Sid so much, then it would be a pity to waste all your kindness." ”

"Ali, you mean?" asked Andrew McCormack, confused.

"Sid didn't go to the party, but he didn't say you couldn't deliver a 'big gift' to your door. Ali said with a sly smile.

"Ohβ€”β€”, yes!" Andrew McCormack immediately clapped his hands, and he eagerly picked up his phone, "Then I'll arrange it now." ”

"Don't be in such a hurry, Andrew. Ali stopped him and smiled, "Sid is still busy now, wouldn't it be better for you to wait a little later to send it over." ”

"Again, Mr. Emmanuel, you have experience. Andrew McCormack nodded repeatedly.

"Everywhere, it's just the experience of being young. Ali waved his hand and smiled disappreciatively.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had been friends for many years.
