Chapter 285: Entertainment Edition

The entire American basketball community thinks that Nike's behavior is too crazy and unreasonable, and Yang Mo can't be worth so much money. Especially those Nike players, they all took sponsorship contracts from Nike, and now well, a Chinese rookie appeared out of thin air, first blowing them up in price, and then actually became their own boss. Whoever this kind of encounter falls on will be unhappy.

However, the problem now is that Yang Mo is not just a basketball player at all. Compared with superstars like LeBron James, Yang Mo is indeed inferior in ball skills, but when leaving the basketball court, people who know Yang Mo are definitely better than those who know LeBron James. James is only popular in the basketball circle, but Yang Mo is more popular outside the basketball circle.

All things considered, this is definitely not a stupid decision. In fact, if Nike doesn't give it, Adidas will give it. Now the hottest shoes sold in the world are Yang Mo's signature shoes, Nike's factories in Southeast Asia are working overtime every day, and the sneaker production line originally used to produce James Durant and others has also become the production of Yang Mo's signature shoes. The big sales of Yang Mo's signature shoes made Nike's stock price rise directly from less than $80 to more than $120, and the net worth of Nike's boss soared. Judging from the benefits that Yang Mo brought to Nike, this reward can only be described in two words: reasonable.

So, despite all the noise from the outside world, Nike still has no intention of changing.

Kevin Durant and LeBron James are undoubtedly unhappy with Nike's decision, they were just unhappy Yang Mo was higher than their endorsement contract, and now Yang Mo has directly become their boss. This made their confidence naturally weaker when they faced Yang Mo.

They are unhappy, but they can only be unhappy. Because Nike has signed long-term contracts with them, and they also have the right of first refusal, even if Adidas waits until the contract expires to poach people, they only need to match the price. And more importantly, Adidas won't shell out hundreds of millions of dollars in liquidated damages for poaching them. After all, not every player has such a big market appeal as Yang Mo.

The incident caused a sensation in American sports circles, but in China, there were all kinds of cheers, and Chinese fans were originally depressed by the ban that the brawl might cause, but now when they heard the news, they immediately cheered. Nike shareholder, this name is high-end!

They calculate Yang Mo's current identity through the stock price, and these shares of Nike alone are worth nearly one billion US dollars, although these shares cannot be traded within three years, and Yang Mo's annual dividend is only 20,000 or 30,000. But the value immediately drew a sharp line with those basketball players. This is an owner-level identity, and those players are just wage earners even if they are the first in basketball. And Yang Mo is the boss! boss!

Basically, there is no objection that Yang Mo has become the most profitable basketball player in Chinese history, and in fact, there will be no problem in replacing the word "China" with the whole world. Although Michael Jordan is also a shareholder of Nike, his equity is not as much as Yang Mo, and... Yang Mo is still an actor, and in the near future, he will make most of the money in the entertainment section.

And what makes fans happiest is that Yang Mo doesn't need to pay a 'protection fee' in the name of training fees to the bullshit Sports Bureau. According to rumors, Da Yao scored half of the score!

To be honest, looking back, Yang Mo couldn't believe that he had taken such a big step in the past year, and he hadn't pulled the egg yet. He couldn't believe that a year ago he was a poor college student who was penniless and dumped by his girlfriend.

Yang Mo didn't expect it, and Yan Li didn't expect it, if she knew that Yang Mo would become a super-rich person with a net worth of one billion dollars in a year, why would she dump him for a sports car of three or four million yuan? If you don't dump it, you are now a wealthy wife, how can you still need to pick up crops with wheat every day?

Oh my life! It's all fate!

Nike's giving equity completely overpowered the so-called fights, which were too pediatric compared to this.

At noon US time, the NBA quietly made a deal with the brawl on its official website, and Michael Beasley and Jerome James were banned for ten games and fined $20,000. Yang Mo and Chris Dujon were banned for six games and fined $5,000.

The NBA's punishment is tantamount to making Yang Moding an accomplice, although both of them were knocked down by him. But from a practical point of view, this is indeed the case.

Yang Mo had expected this punishment for a long time, so there was no surprise and accepted it very calmly. The six-game ban was a very good break for him, just in time for filming. As for the $5,000 fine...... Hehe, will Yang Mo still be short of this little money?

On the morning of the same day, Lu Xueman took Yang Mo and the senior representatives sent by Nike to sign the equity transfer letter on the NASDAQ in New York. After the handover letter was signed, Yang Mo officially became the boss of Kobe, James Durant and others, although it was a small boss. But the village chiefs are all cadres, and the third shareholder can of course also be their leader.

After signing the equity transfer letter, Yang Mo and Lu Xueman went to Madison Garden, where they will hold a global press conference this evening to announce the establishment of Baofeng Entertainment Agency.

On the way to Madison Garden, Yang Mo casually looked through the list of stars in Lu Xueman's press conference process, and found that the list of superstars walking the red carpet not only included several top superstars in China, but also Leondona, Tom Cruise, Stallone, Bruce Wesley, Shange Winton, Jason Stasson, Nicole Kidman, Jay-Z and Christine and other Hollywood superstars. This level of stardom is comparable to the red carpet of the Oscars.

So, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure all the stars on this will come over?" Instead of inviting a few special actors? ”

"Of course, there will be a few stars who will become our artists." Lu Xue said casually, her eyes kept looking at the document in her hand.

Lu Xueman's words were careless, and there was no unusual look at all. Seeing this, Yang Mo became even more curious: "How did you do it?" ”

"Some of them are in your name, some are in contact with their brokerage companies, and some are the connections of the brokers we have poached." Lu Xueman raised his head slightly and replied.

"Don't you have to pay an appearance fee or anything?"

"Just provide the hotel and the reception vehicle." Lu Xueman closed the document and replied seriously: "You may not know the scale of our Storm Entertainment Agency now, we have nearly ten top Hollywood agents under our hands, all of which were mined from super brokerage companies such as CAA." With their connections and your influence, our company's momentum tonight is absolutely luxurious, and the number of reporters interviewed, as far as I know, has exceeded 3,000. ”

"This..."Yang Mo couldn't help but be a little stunned, and then asked in a particularly puzzled voice: "However, I found that you didn't ask me how much money I took to dig people." ”

"Money is not the most important thing. Hollywood's top agents are not short of money, they want a platform, and they want an absolute zìyóu degree. So we promised them a separate studio, self-commission benefits, and the power to appoint and dismiss personnel, and... There are even greater benefits to a good job. Lu Xueman said very calmly.

"But why did people come to our new company, we don't have any connections, we are a new company with nothing." Yang Mo didn't understand what Lu Xueman said, in his ears, what Lu Xueman said couldn't constitute the temptation of the slightest substance, and it was basically all about painting a big pie for people.

"Who says we don't have anything? We've got you! Lu Xue smiled: "You probably don't know your current popularity, right?" I used your status to establish a very good strategic partnership with the eight major production companies in Hollywood. And... I brokered a domestic real estate developer to buy a cinema chain in the United States, and of course we accounted for $10 million in dry shares. ”

"Huh?" Yang Mo exclaimed, he didn't react a little.

While Yang Mo exclaimed, Lu Xueman continued to analyze the situation for Yang Mo: "The way Hollywood works is that the production company, the brokerage company and the cinema chain are separated and do not interfere. But... What we want to do in the future is not only to become a brokerage company, but also to have the ability to produce films, as well as occupy a certain proportion of the cinema chain. The Trinity will make us stronger. Moreover, our target is definitely not a single place in the continental United States. According to my analysis, the domestic film market will develop geometrically in three to five years, and the number of screens will increase rapidly, and what we want to do is to occupy a certain share of the domestic cinema chain, and then do the work of bridging Chinese and American films. ”

Lu Xueman said ambitiously. Yang Mo suddenly felt that his life was really too good, and he unintentionally unearthed such a business genius.

"Jordan, Jordan, not only are you not good at drafting, but you are also not good at economic operations. Such a genius businessman can only do the work of an assistant in your place, and he is a tyrannical thing! I wanted to be greedy for a small advantage, but I didn't expect to take advantage of it now! Yang Mo couldn't help but think of it in her heart.

It's just that Yang Mo didn't know that the reason why Lu Xueman was able to grow to this position was because he gave her infinite zìyóu degrees, and everything was done by her. And... Yang Mo's popularity is too strong, Lu Xueman goes out to work under his brand, and he is basically invincible.
