Chapter 535: The Birth of 5M

"Shareholders, this is the agreement I have prepared, you can take a closer look." Indianapolis, Meng Xu's home, Meng Xu, Reggie Miller, Mutombo, Jermaine O'Neill, James Posey, five people are sitting around the coffee table in the living room tasting the big red robe of Wuyi Mountain brought by Meng Xu from China, and He Hui on the side took out the folder prepared in advance and handed it to one of the people seated.

After receiving the documents handed over by He Hui, except for Meng Xu, who was still tasting tea, the rest put down the teacups in their hands, picked up the folders, and looked at the contents one by one.

In the offseason last season, Meng Xu and Jermaine O'Neal, James Posey, and Reggie Miller jointly funded the opening of a super-large entertainment club in Indianapolis, that is, from that time, at the suggestion of Meng Xu and James Posey, the establishment of a special investment and financial management company funded by everyone was officially put on the agenda, and finally after some discussion, Meng Xu, Reggie Miller, Mutombo, Jermaine O'Neal, James Posey finally decided, Each of them contributed $20 million to form Indiana 5M Investments.

There are too many examples of bankruptcy after retirement in the NBA, so any player with a little brain will start to think about what will happen after his retirement when he can still play, and it is the choice of most people to hand over his salary to an agent or a professional financial management company, but James Posey can't believe in those Jews, and there is no agent like He Hui, so James Posey has been discussing with Meng Xu to form a partnership to form a company, Originally, it was just Meng Xu and James Posey who were discussing, but as the news came out, Jermaine O'Neal, Mutombo, and Reggie Miller also joined in, and finally after many discussions, they finally reached an agreement on the scale of the investment.

"Xiao Xu, don't you want to take a look?" Seeing that everyone was looking at the documents carefully, and Meng Xu was drinking tea by himself, He Hui on the side asked Meng Xu with a smile on his face.

"I don't have to look at it, your family has always been up to you." After taking a sip of tea and smiling at He Hui, Meng Xu turned his head to look at the other people. In terms of life, Meng Xu is basically the same as the shopkeeper, not only the income from the endorsement contract, including Meng Xu's salary card is directly put to He Hui, Meng Xu has at most a few thousand dollars of living expenses, and out of trust in He Hui, Meng Xu will not ask where the money goes, to He Hui, he will hand Meng Xu a detailed statement of capital flow every month, and the relationship between Meng Xu and He Hui is now not only the relationship between the boss and the agent, therefore, Meng Xu is now a hundred at ease and a hundred trusting of He Hui, after all, Meng Xu's money is also He Hui's money.

He Hui is also very supportive of Meng Xu, Miller and others to invest in the establishment of an investment company, although Meng Xu's current salary is not high, and he can't even enter the top 20 in the alliance, but relying on a large number of endorsement contracts and a steady stream of huge dividends from Nike, Meng Xu's total assets are now close to 100 million US dollars, and it would be a pity if he didn't take out so much cash to invest something. But like James Posey, He Hui can't trust those Jews, because there are too many unscrupulous agents and financial management companies that are now attached to these NBA players to suck blood and knock the marrow, and almost every year there can be news that a certain player has been cheated by a financial consultant or a financial management company, so He Hui is currently lying quietly in the bank except for investing in some real estate and taking out millions to test the waters in the stock market.

"Okay, I'm fine." Reggie Miller, who was the first to read it, put down the folder in his hand, and then turned his gaze to Mutombo beside him.

"I'm fine."

"I'm fine." After Reggie Miller, Mutombo, James Posey, and Jermaine O'Neal also put down their contracts and signed their names on them, and then the five of them looked at each other and smiled tacitly, and from today on, their 5M company was officially born.

"How can there be no wine on such an important day, what do you see I have brought?" After signing the papers, Reggie Miller said as he got up and opened the wooden box he had brought with him.

"Meng, this is your mistake, today is at your house, how can you let Reggie bring wine!" James Posey looked at the box that Reggie Miller carried, while pretending to complain about Meng Xu, James Posey knew very well that Meng Xu usually didn't like to drink, and his home naturally wouldn't keep any good wine, and Reggie Miller was different, the dignified nightclub Lei Ke was very fond of collecting good wine, it is said that Reggie Miller once wanted to go to France to buy a winery, but in the end he was forced to give up because it was too expensive.

"Reggie, this is Henry Jay Lichburg in '97! When did you become so generous! Mutombo on the side is obviously knowledgeable, the wine bottle in Reggie Miller's hand has just been half exposed from the box, and Mutombo has already seen what kind of wine it is, but Mutombo was also shocked by Reggie Miller's generosity, Henry Jay Liqibao in 1997, and it is still a case.

"It's really fake, this bottle of wine seems to cost more than 10,000 dollars!" After hearing the name of the wine said by Mutombo, James Posey ran directly to Reggie Miller's side, wanting to snatch it from Reggie Miller's hand and take a closer look, James Posey usually likes to drink, but James Posey is a thrifty person by nature, not to mention more than 10,000 dollars a bottle of wine, it is 100 dollars a bottle, James Posey has to think about it.

"Or to collect red wine to make money, when this wine first came out, I bought a few boxes, at that time it was only more than 1,000 dollars a bottle, and it has only been on the market for a few years and has increased more than tenfold, it is simply a money grab, I knew that I should have bought hundreds of boxes of him at that time and put it at home." After handing the wine to James Posey, Reggie Miller then took another bottle out of the box.

"Reggie, as far as I know, the total output of Li Qibao in 1997 was only a few thousand bottles, and you still bought hundreds of boxes!" Mutombo, who has a lot of research on red wine, after hearing Reggie Miller's words, is ready to discuss red wine with Reggie Miller, 97-year-old Henry Jay Lichburg, is very popular in the current market, Mutombo also wants to collect a few bottles, but due to low production and soaring prices, it is now basically at the point where money can't buy it.

"Someday, I'll buy the whole of Li Qibao, haha!" It's a joke, but it doesn't seem like Reggie Miller's dream of owning a winery has changed.

Li Qibao's sobering time is long, it takes 4-5 hours, but at the moment of fine wine, these people in front of him have no intention of doing other things, so they turned on the TV and watched the NBA game being broadcast live on the TV, while anxiously waiting for the sobering to end.

Today's live broadcast in the United States is the Los Angeles Lakers' home game against the Dallas Mavericks, the Mavericks are now ranked first in the West with a 27-6 record, while the Lakers are only 13-19 and ranked 12th in the West, so there is basically no suspense in this game in terms of strength comparison, but the trend after the start of the game, but there is no huge difference in strength between the two teams, but the Lakers are leading the Mavericks all the way, and even played the Mavericks in the third quarter with a 42-16 climax, At the end of the third quarter, they led the Mavericks by 24 points, 95-61, making the fourth quarter of this game directly garbage time.

And the only protagonist of this game is the Lakers' leading player Kobe Bryant, Kobe Bryant shot 7 of 13 in the third quarter, 2 of 6 three-pointers, 14 of 16 free throws, scored 30 points in a single quarter, and in the case of only playing 30 minutes, he shot 18 of 31, 4 of 9 three-pointers, 22 of 25 free throws, and scored a career-high 62 points in less than three quarters.

"This guy is in such good shape, Meng, it seems that you won't be able to win the scoring title this season." At the end of the game, looking at Kobe's statistics in this game, Reggie Miller shook his head at Meng Xu.

"Why do you want so many scoring champions?" After winning two scoring champions in a row, Meng Xu basically doesn't care much about the scoring champion who has no additional system rewards, just two of these things, if you can get the scoring champion to reward a milestone reward or something, Meng Xu will also have the mind to go out and fight, now, whoever you love, let him go, anyway, in addition to the championship and MVP, other honors are basically not attractive to Meng Xu.

"Come on, come on, drink, drink, I can't wait." James Posey, who had been in a hurry to go back and forth in the living room, saw that the time for sobering up was almost up, and immediately began to beckon Meng Xu, who was still discussing Kobe Bryant and the scoring champion, to come over for a drink.

"Toast to Reggie's winery, to the 100-seat school in Dubakon!"

"Meng, what is your ideal for the future?"

"Me? I'm going to buy an NBA team! ”
