"What is this price in the United States?" Chen Zhiwen asked.
Ron thought for a while and said: "The most cutting-edge is not the same, but the middle and upper level is there, Terry Bradshaw is one of the most famous stars in football, and the price may only be a little more expensive, considering that Red Bull is not famous, it is also risky for a star to endorse such an advertisement, so in this way, it is actually about the same." ”
"Okay, that's $2 million." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.
Terry Bradshaw is the best football player in the United States, but it is not mainland or European football, but American football, that is, football.
In the United States, football is the most popular game, and others include baseball, ice hockey, and the NBA, which was more famous in China in later generations, is still not a popular sport, and the NBA is really famous from the 80s to the 90s under the leadership of Jordan to the peak.
And this Terry Bradshaw, who will win consecutive championships in '75 and '76, won the American Football Conference (AFC) championship, and his name has entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
This year is still 74 years, and it is the most cost-effective time to find him to endorse, and besides, the current Terry Bradshaw is also famous.
Red Bull is a sports drink, and finding a well-known sports superstar to endorse is the best option.
When you have money in the future, you will play bigger, advertising is nothing, and it is more effective to buy the team team directly.
"Then do you want to meet Mr. Chen?" Ron asked.
See each other? Chen Zhiwen thought about it, and it didn't seem to be necessary, but he spent so much money, so he said: "Okay, let's meet again, where is his game recently, I'll go and see it, and I'll just make an appointment to meet when the time comes." ”
For American football, Chen Zhiwen really hadn't seen it in his previous life, and now that he has come to the United States and is ready to sign a contract with a superstar, let's see what charm this football has and can attract the whole United States.
Ron said: "Okay, then I'll make arrangements, I'll determine how many time periods, and then decide on Mr. Chen's side?" ”
"Okay." Chen Zhiwen nodded, and asked again, "Has the person I entrusted you to find found before?" ”
"Found it, Thor. Pierce is currently in San Diego and is the owner of several supermarket chains, but what I found shows that his supermarket business is not very good. Ron replied.
"Okay, then you can make an appointment with him in the name of your law firm, and we will meet him in San Diego." Chen Zhiwen said: "This matter is the most important thing at the moment. ”
Go directly to someone, you are a stranger, and even if you see it, it is impossible for people to talk to you about any cooperation matters, so in business activities in the United States, Chen Zhiwen is endorsed by the law firm behind Ron, although it requires a sum of money, but it can save a lot of time and energy. This is also a necessary means for small companies to do business at present, and it can be regarded as a means of elimination, and they can't even afford the endorsement of a law firm or bank, so there is no need to talk about any big business.
"I see, I'll go at once." Ron agreed.
Ron was entrusted to do what he should do, and Chen Zhiwen and his party have nothing else to do for the time being, the United States in the 70s is full of all kinds of golden opportunities, but basically it has to wait until 75 years later, when semiconductors develop enough to support the emergence of personal computers, all kinds of people will come into being, and now, there is no good investment direction, the United States is about to enter the era of high inflation, the Federal Reserve will keep raising interest rates, and the stock market will also enter a bear market, in addition to a few future giants, There's really nothing to invest in, it's not as good as Hong Kong is full of opportunities.
In his free time, Chen Zhiwen also took his assistant and his party to play around Los Angeles for a few laps, and also went to Hollywood to check in, but unfortunately he doesn't understand movies, and he can't make a movie like other novels in later generations to make hundreds of millions of dollars, as for investing in films, it is even more impossible, Hollywood is even pitted on Wall Street, and European capital does not know how many times it has been pitted.
Besides, even if it is a Hollywood movie, the wealth earned by Marvel in the future for decades is not as good as a few buildings in Hong Kong, not to mention that in a few years, you can easily blow up all the profits of Hollywood by investing in a little future technology giant.
Three days later, Ron took Chen Zhiwen and his party to San Diego, and he had already made an appointment with the person Chen Zhiwen wanted to meet: Saul. Pierce.
The meeting was scheduled at a quiet café in downtown San Diego, most of which were high-end before Starbucks took the world, and there were usually few people in the entire café.
Under Ron's leadership, Chen Zhiwen met the founder of Saul, who was not well-known in the retail industry, but created a retail giant second only to Wal-Mart. Pierce.
"Hello, Mr. Pierce, I'm Ron." Ron held out his right hand and shook hands.
"Hello, Mr. Ron." Saul. Pierce shook hands and said that they had been in contact by phone before.
"This is Mr. Chan from Hong Kong." Ron introduced to Chen Zhiwen.
Chen Zhiwen also stretched out his right hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Pierce." ”
"Hello." Saul. Pierce also said politely, "Please take a seat." ”
Pierce and Chen Zhiwen sat down, and Ron said with interest: "The two of you may have trade secrets to talk to, it's better that I'm not there, and you can consult me again after the two of you decide." ”
"OK, thank you Mr. Ron." Chen Zhiwen smiled and nodded.
Watching Ron leave, Pierce beckoned and called the service industry, and after the two of them ordered the coffee they wanted, Pierce asked, "Mr. Chen, I heard Ron say, you are looking for me to have a business cooperation with me, I don't know what kind of cooperation?" ”
Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, "Yes, I want to invest in you." ”
"Investment?" Pierce wasn't surprised, and asked, "Mr. Chen is also in the retail business?" I basically know that there are a bit of well-known retailers in the United States, and you are retailing in Asia? ”
"No, I don't have a retail business, but I'm optimistic about this industry, and I'm also optimistic about Mr. Pierce's warehousing model, and I'm even more optimistic about Mr. Pierce's business ability." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.
"Optimistic about me?" Saul. Pierce said with some self-deprecation: "I almost went bankrupt in my own business." ”
"Mr. Pierce, there is no doubt about your ability to operate, FEDMART's current problems are actually mainly due to the once open franchise system, the company's lack of group management and the lack of extreme cost operations, which has led to problems in the current capital chain, but as long as there is enough capital, everything can start again." Chen Zhiwen said calmly.
