The entire American basketball circle thinks that Nike's behavior is too crazy and unreasonable. Yang Mo cannot be worth so much money...especially the players under Nike, who all get sponsorship contracts from Nike.
Well, now, a Chinese rookie appears out of thin air, first beats them on price, and then becomes his own boss. No one would be happy with this kind of experience.
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 basketball skills, but after leaving the basketball court, people who know Yang Mo are definitely better
People 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 foolish decision. In fact, if Nike doesn't give it, Adidas will. The most popular shoes sold in the world now are Yang Mo's signature shoes. Nike's factories in Southeast Asia are working overtime every day. Originally,
The production lines used to produce sneakers for James Durant and others have all been converted to produce Yang Mo's signature shoes. The huge sales of Yang Mo's signature shoes have caused Nike's stock price to rise from less than 80 US dollars to more than 120 US dollars.
, the Nike boss’s net worth has skyrocketed. Judging from the benefits Yang Mo has brought to Nike, this remuneration can only be described as reasonable.
Therefore, despite the noise from the outside world, Nike still has no intention of changing it.
Kevin Durant and LeBron James are undoubtedly unhappy with Nike’s decision. In the past, they were just unhappy that Yang Mo’s endorsement contract was higher than theirs. Now Yang Mo has directly become their boss. This makes them face Yang Mo.
When you are in trouble, your confidence is naturally weakened.
They are unhappy, but that's all. Because Nike has signed long-term contracts with them, and they also have priority to sign contracts. Even if Adidas waits until the contract expires to poach people, they only need to match the price. And more importantly,
, Adidas will not pay hundreds of millions of dollars in liquidated damages to poach them. After all, not every player has as much market appeal as Yang Mo.
This incident caused a sensational discussion in the American sports circle, but in China, there were all kinds of cheers. Chinese fans were originally depressed because of the possible suspension due to the fight, but now they heard the news and immediately started cheering.
Nike shareholders, this name sounds like a high-end one!
They calculated Yang Mo's current status through stock prices. The shares in Nike alone were worth nearly one billion U.S. dollars. Although these shares could not be traded within three years, Yang Mo's annual dividends were only 20,000 to 30,000. But his worth immediately increased with
Those basketball players have drawn a clear line. This is a boss-level status. Even if those players are the first in basketball, they are still just wage earners. And Yang Mo is the boss! Boss!
Basically, there is no objection to Yang Mo becoming the most profitable basketball player in Chinese history. In fact, there would be no problem if the word "China" means the world. Although Michael Jordan is also a shareholder of Nike, his equity is not yet Yang Mo's.
There are so many Mo, and... Yang Mo is still an actor. In the near future, he will make the most money in the entertainment sector.
What makes the fans most happy is that Yang Mo does not need to pay "protection fees" in the name of training fees to some bullshit sports bureau. According to rumors, Dayao scored half of the points!
To be honest, looking back, Yang Mo couldn't believe that he had made such great strides in the past year, and he hadn't even lost anything. He couldn't believe that a year ago, he was broke and was dumped by his girlfriend.
of poor college students.
Yang Mo didn't expect, and Yan Li didn't expect that if she knew that Yang Mo would become a super rich man with a net worth of one billion US dollars in a year, why would she dump him for a sports car worth three to four million yuan? What if she didn't dump him?
, I am now a rich and wealthy wife, so why do I need to go to the wheat field to pick crops every day?
Life! It’s all life!
The incident of Nike granting equity completely outweighed the so-called fight incident. Compared with this incident, that incident was really childish.
At noon US time, the NBA quietly made a response to the fight on its official website. Michael Beasley and Jerome James were suspended for ten games and fined US$20,000. Yang Mo and Chris Duhon
Suspended six games and fined $5,000.
NBA's punishment is equivalent to classifying Yang Mo as an accessory. Although it is said that both people were knocked down by him, from a practical point of view, this is indeed the case.
Yang Mo had already expected this punishment, so there was no surprise and he accepted it very calmly. The six-game suspension was a very good rest period for him, which could be used for filming. As for the five thousand US dollars
The fine... Haha, will Yang Mo still be short of such a small sum?
In the morning of that day, Lu Xueman took Yang Mo and a senior representative sent by Nike to sign the equity handover letter at Nasdaq in New York. After the handover letter was signed, Yang Mo officially became the boss of Kobe, James, Durant and others. Although
He is a small boss. But the village chiefs are all cadres. Of course, the third shareholder can also be their leader.
After signing the equity transfer agreement, Yang Mo and Lu Xueman went to Madison Garden, where tonight they will hold a global press conference to announce the establishment of Baofeng Entertainment Agency.
On the way to Madison Garden, Yang Mo casually looked through the list of stars during Lu Xueman's press conference, and unexpectedly found that the list of superstars walking on the red carpet included not only China's top superstars, but also Leonardo Na and Tom Ke
Ruth, Stallone, Bruce Wesley, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Jason Statham, Nicole Kidman, Jay-Z and Kristen and other Hollywood stars. This level of stardom is comparable to the Oscars red carpet
.
So, he couldn't help but ask: "Are you sure all the celebrities here will come over? Instead of inviting a few special actors?"
"Of course, there will be a few celebrities here who will become our artists." Lu Xue said casually, keeping his eyes on the documents in his hand.
Lu Xueman said it casually and didn't seem surprised at all. Seeing this, Yang Mo became even more curious: "How did you do it?"
"Some are reporting your name, some are contacting their brokerage companies, and some are the connections of the brokers we hired." Lu Xueman raised his head slightly and replied.
"Aren't there any appearance fees or anything?"
"Just provide a hotel and a reception vehicle." Lu Xueman put the documents together and answered seriously: "You may not know the size of our Baofeng Entertainment agency yet. We have nearly ten top Hollywood agents under our command.
, these are all mined from super brokerage companies such as CAA. With their connections and your influence, our company's momentum tonight is definitely luxurious. As far as I know, the number of reporters interviewed has exceeded 3,000.
.”
"This..." Yang Mo couldn't help but was a little stunned, and then asked in confusion: "But, I found that you didn't ask me how much I paid to poach people."
"Money is not the most important thing. Hollywood's top agents are not short of money. What they want is a platform and absolute freedom. So we promised them a separate studio, self-drawn benefits, and the power to appoint and remove personnel.
, and... if you do well, there will be greater benefits." Lu Xueman said calmly.
"But why do people want to come to our new company? We don't have any connections at all. We are a new company with nothing." Yang Mo didn't understand what Lu Xueman said. To him, what Lu Xueman said didn't make any sense at all.
In essence, the allure of the surname is basically just trying to paint a bigger picture for others.
"Who said we have nothing? We have you!" Lu Xueman chuckled: "You probably don't know how famous you are now, right? I have used your identity to establish a very good strategic partnership with the eight major Hollywood production companies.
.And...I arranged for a domestic real estate developer to acquire a theater chain in the United States, and of course we also took a stake of 10 million U.S. dollars."
"Ah?" Yang Mo exclaimed, he was a little unable to react.
While Yang Mo screamed, Lu Xueman continued to analyze the situation for Yang Mo: "The way Hollywood operates is that the production company, the agency, and the movie theater chain are separated and do not interfere. But... what we Baofeng Entertainment will do in the future is
, not only to become a brokerage company, but also to have the ability to produce, and to occupy a certain proportion of movie theaters. The trinity will make us stronger. Moreover, our goal is definitely not just one place in the continental United States. I have already begun to make plans domestically.
According to my analysis, the domestic film market will develop geometrically in three to five years, and the number of screens will increase rapidly. What we need to do is to occupy a certain share of domestic cinema lines, and then build a bridge between Chinese and American films.
line work.”
Lu Xueman said he was ambitious. Yang Mo suddenly felt that he was really lucky to have unintentionally discovered such a business genius.
"Jordan, Jordan, not only are you not good at drafting, you are also bad at economic operations. Such a talented businessman can only do the work of an assistant with you, what a waste of money! I wanted to take advantage of it at first, but I didn't expect it now.
You've got a big advantage!" Yang Mo couldn't help but thought happily in his heart.
But Yang Mo didn't know that the reason why Lu Xueman could grow to this position was because he gave her unlimited freedom and let her tinker with everything. Moreover... Yang Mo's popularity was too strong, and Lu Xueman stood up to him
When a brand goes out to work, it is basically always unfavorable.
