Chapter 297: Three and a half billion
Obviously, this was a hostile question, and every word of it was placed under a sharp knife.
"First, I'll answer your last question." Xiao stared at the reporter who asked the question, and said indifferently and sarcastically: "If I did drink alcohol or take soft drugs, then the first thing I would do now is to knock you down, because you are attacking me with vicious words. But I'm not going to do that right now, because I'm not doing these things. I had a urine test and a completely unnecessary blood test before I came to the conference, and soon you will get the most authoritative proof from the league officials. ā
"My steps are weird, aren't they? It looks like a drunk and a drugged person, right? ā
"However, I must regret to tell you and all the suspicious and malicious guys behind you, this is my latest trick, and you will often see my elegant and elusive steps in the future, which will become a conventional weapon!"
"To those who doubt me, and who maliciously speculate about me. All I can say is that I feel your fear clearly, that you are afraid of my strength, that you are afraid of my future. But...... These are useless, and when the torrent of history rolls in, those who try to stand in the way will be crushed to ashes. ā
The dashing answer was sonorous and powerful, and the reporter who asked the question was completely overwhelmed in momentum.
Bang Bang Bang!
The rest of the reporters subconsciously applauded.
This applause is a compliment to Xiao Shao, but also a slap in the face to the provocative reporter.
When the applause stopped, Xiao continued: "About Kobe Bryant said to teach me a lesson. I don't have anything more to respond to. Anyway, he always said he wanted to teach me a lesson. I remember last year's Olympics. I had only been playing basketball for three months, and he said he wanted to teach me a lesson, but he obviously didn't have an advantage against me.
"He's getting older day by day, and I'm growing day by day. So, my advice to him is, if you want to teach me a lesson, please hurry up! The torrent of history is about to roll in!! ā
Xiao's response to Kobe Bryant is still extremely tough and full of momentum.
Bang Bang Bang!
The reporters below burst into applause again.
After getting a response that is chic and tough to the extreme. The reporter who asked the question walked out of the press conference in a gloomy manner. Clearly, he is out of place here.
His departure did not make the atmosphere awkward, but more harmonious, after all, he was originally a superfluous person.
Soon, the launch ended in a harmonious atmosphere.
Xiao Shi and the reporter both left with smiling faces.
After leaving the press conference, Xiao Shi did not go back to the hotel with his teammates, but went straight to his home in Los Angeles, where he wanted to get a night's rest and then see Mr. John Wooden tomorrow and also see Randy Curry.
To chic. No matter how brilliant he is now, he will always be inseparable from the help of these two people. If it weren't for Randy Curry bringing himself to the United States from a small mountain village in China. I may not even be able to build a house in my life, or I won't be able to marry a wife, and dream training will become a dispensable chicken rib. Without John Wooden's dedication to basketball experience and knowledge, Xiao Shao's understanding of basketball would not have been able to reach this level, and he would not have been able to adapt to the game so quickly.
Back home, Xiao Xiao lay down on the familiar bed, indescribable emotion.
But soon, he slowly fell asleep.
He was so tired today, having experienced two bed battles and a fierce record-breaking battle.
And when he fell asleep, the whole world was talking about his name, and the feat of 85 points finally knocked the public's curiosity about him, and people began to stop learning about Xiao Xiao through the media for the first time. The story of Xiao is already legendary, and when everyone understands it, it suddenly rises a lot of fans, and its commercial value has risen again.
The next day, all the products endorsed by Xiao Fashion rose sharply, and Adidas' market value soared by nearly 20%.
This made Adidas raise its eyebrows, and it finally produced a player who can compete with the Nike star group, and this player is also one of the company's major shareholders, so there is no need to worry about changing jobs. It's just a little knotted that they could have not given Xiao Sweep shares, but at that time, they were like the Clippers and thought that Xiao Shaw could not return to the court, so they thought about using the smallest loss to settle Xiao Shaw's contract. Who knows that Xiao Shi became the third largest shareholder with hundreds of millions of dollars when the stock price was at its lowest, and now the stock price has risen to the point of being out of control, and the company's market value has reached a sky-high price of nearly 28 billion US dollars, and it is only 2 or 3 billion yuan away from Nike. If Xiao can maintain this momentum, it will be a matter of time before he surpasses Nike.
Nike watched Adidas' market value rise wildly now, and his bowels were blue with regret. If they had known that the market appeal of Xiao Shi was so huge, how could they be so stingy when they first quoted? What if you give him $50 million a year? Eighty million, they are willing to give!
It's a pity that time doesn't turn back. Even if he turns back, Xiao Sao will not choose Nike, and now his annual shareholder dividends are nearly seventy or eighty million US dollars, plus the fixed assets on the stock, the fool went back to choose Nike's sky-high contract. And there are already so many superstars on Nike's side, even if he didn't come to Adidas in the past, he is completely alone here!
Gain global attention and double your worth.
This was not just the only good news, but there was also good news that he learned from a visit to John Wooden's house, where Barbara called him and told him the exciting news: "Now the second-largest movie theater chain in the United States is interested in making a move." ā
Xiao Sa is not too sensitive to this, his sensitive thing is: "What does this have to do with me? ā
"I'll build yƬ you take it down. Now that the United States is in a financial crisis, there is a huge funding gap in the fund group behind AMC, so they are in a hurry to make a move, which is the best period to reduce prices. ā
Xiao Sa didn't fully understand the meaning of Barbara's words, but he understood a little. It seems that there is a advantage to take advantage of.
Thereupon. He asked, "How much does it cost?" ā
"I'm confident that I'll keep the price below $2.8 billion."
Barbara gave Chick the number. After hearing this, Xiao was directly dumbfounded, he thought it was millions of dollars, but he didn't expect Barbara to be 2.8 billion as soon as he opened his mouth: "Oh my God, where did I get so much money?" ā
"A lot of banks are willing to lend you if you want to. Based on today's stock price, you're worth more than $3 billion and counting. Barbara analyzed very professionally: "The advice I give you now is." Quickly buy this theater chain, and after owning this theater chain, you will have a real voice in the American entertainment industry. At the same time, I recommend that you quickly enter the Chinese market and use your influence in Hollywood. I have a hunch that China's entertainment market will expand rapidly in the coming years, and China's social networks are growing rapidly, and the new generation that grows up will be the main force of entertainment consumption. ā
"Uh... You sue me, if I take out a loan to buy this theater, in case I lose ............"
Before Xiao Shao's worries were finished, Barbara continued: "There will be no loss. Do you know what AMC made at the box office last year? It's $2.6 billion, although it still has a lot of debt problems. These questions will be sold to us together. But it's still an extremely high-quality resource, and it's cash flow! Now it's a society where cash is king. I believe that with my ability, I will be able to reap the benefits immediately. ā
Xiao Sage was moved by Barbara's words, and then, he asked directly, "I... You sue me, what can I get out of it? And what will it give? ā
"You don't have to pay anything, you just need to pledge your equity in Adidas to the bank, and the bank will give you a loan right away. When we get a loan, we're going to have a brick-and-mortar cinema right away, and I expect that in the first year we'll be able to turn a profit, and within 10 years we'll be able to repay the bank loan, and you'll be worth a lot of money all the time, and it's going to go up in the process, and it's not going to go any way down. In other words, we don't have to give anything, we can double our worth. ā
Barbara's analysis is very enticing.
Xiao Sao felt like he was painting a pie when he heard it: "Hey, such a good business, why don't others do it?" And also... Since it's a premium resource, why should they sell it? ā
"The holding group behind AMC has a financial loophole, and AMC itself has a large debt ratio, if they do not resell, it is very likely to become insolvent and declare bankruptcy, and they will not get anything at that time, in this case, it is the most reasonable choice to act quickly. You have to know that the situation right now is that the United States is in the midst of a financial crisis, and no one is going to be able to come up with that much cash. ā
"What about us? We can't get it either! ā
"But you are not an American, you are Chinese, I have helped you contact the Chinese bank, and they support you 100%." Barbara said with a smile. "You don't know! Now a large amount of Chinese capital is entering the U.S. market, and they are waving checks and buying up many bankrupt American businesses like mashed potatoes in the supermarket. ā
Xiao Sa suddenly realized, and then he nodded, and handed it over to you to handle. Say goodbye to me when you need to sign.
Then, hang up.
For Xiao Shao, he trusts Barbara unconditionally, and he recognizes Barbara's ability very much.
And the most important thing is that although Xiao Sao is a stingy person, he never cares about the money he can't see, just like Adidas's equity, even if he has 10 billion, he doesn't feel like it's his own. He wanted the kind of cash that was in front of him. So...... Even if Barbara really loses a mess this time and loses all his equity, he won't be in much pain. But if you burn him millions of cash in front of him, he will definitely be depressed to the point of collapse.
Xiao Chi is essentially a small peasant thought, and he is also a full turtle.
It's just that he was lucky to meet Barbara, who is extremely good at business.
Moreover, how could Barbara be willing to let Xiao Shi lose?
Dash went to visit Eddie Curry and Mr. John Wooden, both of whom were very happy to see Shaw, they did not expect Shaw to be so beautiful now, let alone that Shaw brought them a gift of two bags of cash.
Yes, Xiao Sa found more than 500,000 dollars from the hole under his bed, put it in two plastic bags, and then gave it to two nobles who had the grace of knowing him like old platinum.
Eddie Curry and John Wooden were all stunned, they had never seen anyone give such a gift.
In the United States, few people use cash, everyone uses credit cards, and at most they have a few dozen dollars. But now it's two bags of dollars, which is so generous! No wonder people say that now Chinese people have a lot of money, and they are all local tycoons.
Under the persuasion of Xiao Xian's enthusiasm, both of them accepted it.
Although Xiao is a miser, a miser. But for those who have helped him, he can't be stingy at all. He even felt that he seemed to be giving a little less, because if it weren't for these two people, he would be a poor bastard in a Chinese mountain village! It's impossible to dream of talking about billions of dollars in business like you do now!
After a fun afternoon, head back to the hotel.
At this point, he found that the team members were all in one room watching TV.
The TV screen shows the figures of the Lakers players.
"Come on, come on, Shaw, look how hateful the Lakers' face is!!" Stephen Marbury pulled Shaw over, and then asked the crew to play back the TV show for five minutes to get Shaw to watch from the beginning.
