The Sydney Olympics began on 13 September and opened on 15 September. Sports teams in many countries around the world have entered closed training six months ago at the earliest, and one month at the latest.

What makes head coach Rudy Tomjanovic angry is that the superstars who have entered the "Dream Four" squad for the 00 Sydney Olympics have also begun to make a fuss, wanting to withdraw, on the one hand, the ethereal national dignity, on the other hand, tens of millions of dollars in endorsement contracts, which one do you say?

In fact, on April 8, the NCAA Finals ended, and Usilis received a call from both the United Kingdom and Germany's national men's basketball teams.

Both summons were forwarded from the British Embassy in the United States and the German Embassy in the United States in the name of national glory!

Usyris, who swept the NCAA and won 13 trophies in one go, is no doubt about his skills.

German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder was asked about this by the national media and had to give a reply, ready to invite Usi; And Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom finally found a leader to earn a little face for the cowardly national basketball team, so she was naturally unwilling to let go easily.

For this matter, the two bigwigs have talked two or three times, but the initiative is in the hands of Queen Elizabeth II.

The fanatical Germanic peoples, who did not know the truth and only wanted Ussi to return to China as soon as possible, had already questioned Mr. Schroeder in the media and in the Parliament.

Usilis was in the United States, and he didn't like to watch the news, and Old Mark deliberately concealed it, so he was forgotten in a daze.

On January 4, 00, Ussi became famous at the MCI Center and earned the nickname "Tyrannosaurus Rex", and the black market gambling on the NCAA Finals suddenly appeared quietly, and it could threaten Ussy's life.

The old man, Mark Frederick, was in Berlin, and his situation was unknown and he could not be protected, so he gritted his teeth and took out a lot of money to turn to Prince Phillips, an important member of the Oldenburg family, to arrange a grand coming-of-age ceremony for Usy, and to give Usy a godfather.

With the blessing of Prince Phillips's name, the bigwigs of those underground casinos don't dare to shoot black guns at will!

Queen Elizabeth II made a temporary decision and accompanied her husband to see this German boy who could play basketball, and as a result, she gave Ussey a German-British dual nationality, and persuaded Usi to represent the British national men's basketball team in this Olympic Games, and so on.

German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder had to come forward to greet him, and he took advantage of the situation and brought Ussi to his basketball team.

These two things are completely out of the control of Old Mark.

In this way, Usiris made his own decision to represent Britain in the Sydney 00 Olympics and Germany in the 04 Athens Olympics.

Ever since Uzzy swept through the NCAA, the old man Mark Frederick accidentally clicked on the sponsorship advertisement on the court, and he had an idea to secretly make a big plan. Later, Ussi was busy with competitions and personal training sessions, and he had no idea that Old Mark had quietly returned to China many times!

As mentioned above, Steve Jobs personally owns only 0.586% of Apple Computer, but he is the chairman and CEO of Apple, and he even bought 11.3% of the shares in the Disney Group in the name of Apple (market value of $4.294 billion).

At present, Jobs's personal wealth is barely 600 million US dollars, but he controls the flow of more than 14 billion US dollars.

To control a flock of thousands of sheep, there is no need to tie them up one by one with a rope and find thousands of people to lead them; It only takes three or five people to look at a few leaders, and the problem is solved!

To control a bull, you don't need to be stronger than a bull, and you don't need to compete with a bull to see whose head is stronger, you just need to tie the bull's nose!

These two simple truths can perfectly explain how to create, acquire, merge and control a business empire!

The acquisition of a company is not to compete with the other party with one's own personal property, but to mobilize one's own resources at hand and acquire it in the name of the company!

The personal property of the old man, Mark Frederick, is equivalent to more than 600 million US dollars, including part of the shares of a luxury cruise ship factory, an aircraft factory, a military machinery factory, and a high-speed rail operating company.

Important government departments, the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, non-military tycoons are not allowed to enter, this is an unspoken rule that is common to the whole world!

Political struggle is a little different from business fighting, because no matter what, the political boss will definitely control the controlling stake in his own hands, which can be regarded as a bargaining chip!

In addition to purposeful mergers and acquisitions, most of them are stock speculation to make money.

The elder Mark used to be a high-ranking official of the German Foreign Office, with a deep background, naturally with strong connections, and tied up the controlling stake in the four major military industrial enterprises, and even after retirement, he still placed his three sons in the embassy of a certain country directly under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

If Ussie's football skills hadn't reached the world's top level, no matter what kind of music and art he studied, he would have to go into politics sooner or later, and this was fate!

For this reason, the old Mark had to modify the heir plan, his goal is Adidas, even if he can't join the board of directors of Adidas, at least take Adidas (North America) and forcibly spin it off!

With Adidas in hand, Usy's NBA career will naturally be greenlit all the way; Even if you retire, you still have an industry in hand, and you can continue to call the wind and rain behind the scenes of the NBA.

For this reason, Old Mark deliberately concealed and delayed the agenda of Ussy's return, and now that the fire has arrived, it is time to negotiate!

At present, the controlling stake of Adidas is in the hands of Germany's Henkel Group, and the American Procter & Gamble Group is the second largest shareholder, and the proxies of the two groups jointly control the board of directors. There are too many products under these two groups, and each of them requires endorsements under their names, so they had to join forces to acquire Adidas.

Procter & Gamble is American, not bad for money, and it's hard to start; And the Henkel Group is German, you understand?! In the face of national glory, Germany is definitely the craziest, open the World War I, World War II, you will understand!

In order to prevent the news from leaking, Mark Sr. has been secretly active, and at the critical moment, he sent Herbert Heiner to the United States with the help of his network, and quietly stretched out his claws to Adidas.

Even if Henkel Group is unwilling to sell Adidas' shares, it doesn't matter, set a deadline and package it to Old Mark to deal with, it can still be negotiated; In the future, as long as you can help everyone make a lot of money, everything is negotiable, otherwise you will be replaced.
