Chapter 343 Lifetime Ban
“What are the product lines of ‘Kung Fu School’ now? Has the membership system started?”
After saying goodbye to Wang Jinhua and others, Du Sheng looked at Ye Chengzhi who came to see him off.
This time the destination is Las Vegas, the lighthouse country.
"In addition to core products such as sports bras, sports pants, and sports tops, running, yoga, boxing and other sports are also in the research and development stage..."
Since Wang Jinhua helped share the affairs of the entertainment industry, Ye Chengzhi concentrated on coordinating business matters.
For example, endorsement negotiations, "Kung Fu" program, Kung Fu brand, Agile Real Estate, and theater layout, etc.
At present, she does not need to lead the "Kung Fu" program. Agile Real Estate has a professional team, so part of the focus is on the Kung Fu brand.
Thanks to Du Sheng's popularity and influence, he occasionally wears and promotes Kung Fu style clothing through social media, attending events, etc.
Fan Bingbing, Alyssa Chia, Girls' Generation, etc. were also invited to participate in brand promotion to expand the brand's exposure in the entertainment industry...
It can be said that with the support of abundant funds, the development momentum is very rapid.
Now, not only have its core products successfully gained a foothold in the mid-to-high-end market, but they have also gradually expanded to diversified products such as sports jackets, sports skirts, and sports swimsuits.
In addition, Kung Fu Pai has successively opened more than a dozen brand flagship stores and experience stores in first- and second-tier cities.
We have already established deep cooperative relationships with sporting goods retailers and department stores such as Goldlion, and our offline sales network has expanded to hundreds of stores.
According to Du Sheng's proposal, brand sponsorship and cooperation will be carried out with sports events, fitness clubs, sports bloggers, etc. to deepen the promotion line,
And establish a membership system to provide members with points, discounts, priority purchasing and other privileges to improve customer loyalty.
This set of boxing combinations is an advanced concept in the eyes of Ye Chengzhi, a top student, so he is naturally full of confidence.
"As long as you have confidence, I can save some worries."
Du Sheng tidied the woman's hair that was messed up by the night wind and prepared to wave away.
"Wait a minute——"
Ye Chengzhi didn't mind this kind of intimacy for a long time, but suddenly remembered something and said:
"The crew from Kimchi Country sent us an inquiry, saying that due to scheduling issues with KBS TV and Song Hye Kyo, the filming of "Full House" originally scheduled for February may have to be delayed a little, and we asked for our opinion.
Considering your current busy schedule and their feature of filming and broadcasting at the same time, should we make some changes here? ”
Du Sheng thought for a while and said:
"Then let's postpone it, it will happen to be filming the TVB drama first."
He doesn't mind this. After all, "Full House" has less than 20 episodes, and it would take less than a month to film it quickly.
"Okay, I'll reply to them."
Ye Chengzhi stepped forward to hug the man and said softly:
"I have followed your advice and invested all the money I received from Neon in stocks of Apple and Amazon."
Speaking of this, she sounded a little surprised:
"Amazon's valuation skyrocketed yesterday. Did you predict that the Internet bubble was about to end?"
Amazon's highest stock price once reached $361, but after several years of Internet turmoil, it fell below $10 in the first half of last year, almost becoming a junk stock.
Ye Chengzhi really didn't expect Du Sheng to be so optimistic about it, and strongly suggested that she find connections to buy it.
Considering that the man has always had good taste, he exchanged the money he won + the Toshiba endorsement fee and turned it into 4.82 million US dollars.
Including the signing bonus given by Don King, the total total is 8.86 million US dollars.
Invest 50/50 on Apple and Amazon stocks.
At the end of October last year, these two companies were still in the late stages of the Internet bubble, and their stock prices were not high.
Apple's stock price fell from $36 per share at the beginning of the year to $12 per share, and then plummeted to $7 as Jobs sold 55 million shares.
When Ye Chengzhi bought Apple, the stock price was US$7.63, with a net purchase of 580,000 shares.
The stock price is now 8.12. Although the increase is not particularly significant, it can still be considered a profit.
What surprised Ye Chengzhi the most was Amazon!
It also invested more than 4 million US dollars, but it has already bottomed out from the beginning at US$9.82. Yesterday, it rebounded to US$52 in an instant due to the positive factors of last year's first profit.
Almost increased by 5 times!
Even though I only played with 2x leverage, the profits were even more terrifying than robbing money!
"It's not really a prediction. After all, the Internet industry is a general trend and it's just a long-term investment."
Du Sheng hasn't told her yet that Amazon's stock can surge back to $361 per share in the future, otherwise she might not be able to leave tonight.
Of course, the reason why he knows this is naturally because of the skill "Eureka".
At that time, the CD was cooling down and I had just acquired a large sum of money, so I decided to go back and do it again.
Only then did we know the general situation.
Even though the world has changed, it is still very much the same, so I changed my investment advice.
After all, if you invest everything in Agile, you may not get your money back within two or three years.
And there is no rush to make a one-time investment, and you can slowly save money by taking endorsements.
Now it seems that this investment is quite reliable, at least the general trend has not changed much.
But such good things rarely happen.
If he didn't know or understand the relevant events in his previous life, he would still be confused no matter how he looked back.
For example, the valuation of Netflix, although it is also a giant company in the lighthouse country, he doesn't pay much attention to it, so he doesn't even know when it will go public.
Ye Chengzhi suppressed the joy in her heart and asked:
"Amazon's stock started to fall slightly today. Do you want to sell some?"
She already has a bit of blind admiration for men, so she is quite obedient.
In fact, Du Sheng was not very sure. Seeing that the skill CD was in the cool-down period, he went back and compared it:
"You can sell half of it first and invest it in Apple."
In previous lives, this stock would have fallen for several years, but we cannot generalize here.
To be conservative, I might as well throw away part of it first.
"If your Ye family has a business team in Lighthouse, you might as well pay attention to the information on emerging social networking sites..."
Although he went back twice, Du Sheng still couldn't quite remember when platforms such as Facebook and YouTube were established and launched, so he could only try fishing in the haystack.
Next year MGM, one of the eight major Hollywood film companies, and DreamWorks will be acquired. This is an opportunity for anyone who wants to get involved in the global film industry.
Although he didn't have the ability to pry the corner of the wall, he could still try to drink some soup.
In addition, Du Sheng cannot always stay in the mainland to develop,
And if you want to reach a global audience in the future, Hollywood will not be able to avoid it no matter what.
But there are a lot of rules and checks and balances there. Just a union and producer-centered system makes people's hands tied. If you want to get rid of these, or form a separate game, the first prerequisite is capital.
What I earn now is far from enough.
Therefore, the wool comes from the sheep, so we can only try it from the outside.
"Okay, let me say hello."
Ye Zhengzhi was thoughtful.
Du Sheng is most likely betting that the Internet winter has passed, and then related industries will slowly become popular.
Although she didn't know what men used as a reference, the example of Amazon was right in front of her.
Du Sheng smiled slightly and let go of her shoulders:
"It's freezing cold, go back."
“Bon voyage.”
Ye Chengzhi originally planned to go with him, but Du Sheng said that there was no need to sign anything and there was no need to travel back and forth for the time being.
She kept watching the vehicle disappear before her eyes, and then she gathered her emotions and returned to the company.
There is a saying that it is better to take advantage of opportunities sooner rather than later. Some opportunities are fleeting and she does not want to miss them in vain.
"Brother Sheng, will the flight take 13 hours this time?"
Arriving at the airport, Wang Yaoyang, who was holding his suitcase, couldn't help but said:
"Doesn't that mean it won't arrive until tomorrow morning?"
Du Sheng, wearing a hat, mask and sunglasses, looked at the people around him and said casually:
"You didn't calculate the time difference. It should be evening when you arrive in Nevada."
The UFC is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In addition to being the world's largest gambling city, it is also a paradise for tourism, shopping, and vacation industries.
With its backing to Los Angeles, the second largest city in the lighthouse country, it can be said that it has all its advantages.
Ye Chengzhi booked first class on China Southern Airlines.
After the two people completed the security check through the VIP channel, they stopped for a while in the VIP waiting room and boarded the plane smoothly.
Although China Southern Airlines' aircraft are not as luxurious as private jets, the first-class facilities are still quite complete.
Each seat is spacious and comfortable, with adjustable tilt angle and equipped with an advanced audio-visual entertainment system.
In addition, considerate items such as pajamas and toiletry bags are provided.
After closing the partitions, each seat becomes a small private space, like a miniature hotel room.
Without entertainment during the trip, Du Sheng casually flipped through a magazine on the plane and adjusted himself to sleep.
Time flew by and I didn’t meet any public figures on this flight.
At 8:20 pm local time, Du Sheng arrived at McCarran International Airport.
"Mr. Du, please—"
Don King had already arranged for someone to pick him up at the airport, and it was his assistant Anika.
It's just that unlike the previous two meetings, her attitude at this moment was quite enthusiastic and she even opened the trunk herself.
Du Sheng guessed why she had such a big change and didn't bother to expose it.
He put the luggage in smoothly and asked:
"You just said that Mr. Don King is not here. Is there something urgent to deal with?"
"Yes, a boxer got into a fight outside the ring and he had to make an impromptu trip."
Anika was a little embarrassed and said:
"But don't worry, he will come back as soon as possible tomorrow."
Although this situation is rare, once a black boxer gets involved, he will not care about the rules of the boxing world.
For example, boxing champion Tyson clashed with boxer Chris after an AEW match a few years ago, and the two sides got into a scuffle.
In the end, 6 people were dispatched to catch Tyson.
Another example is the boxing exhibition match between Mayweather and Gotti. After the sixth round, the teams of both sides clashed fiercely, and the scene was chaotic.
The reasons these men clashed outside the ring were also varied.
Some are dissatisfied with the results of the game, some are provocative in person, and some are out of control.
The boxer from their company, Tang Ya, was dissatisfied with the host's sidestep and rushed to the stage to grab the microphone and provoke a fight.
After listening to the accompanying interpreter, Wang Yaoyang asked curiously:
"What will happen to that boxer?"
"It can range from a fine to a lifetime ban."
Anika knows this kind of thing well and said:
"Of course, for our company, such a conflict has the potential to lead to a loss of sponsors and a decrease in commercial value.
Therefore, the president must rush to deal with it and reduce unnecessary impact. ”
She also cited the example of a Persian boxer who kicked the girl holding a card in the buttocks and was banned for life and forfeited bonuses in the first half of the year.
Originally, for such a trivial matter, he would be suspended for a few games at most, just because he had no connections or company guarantee, so he would be beaten to the end.
Du Sheng knew that Anika was talking to him, so he just smiled.
If others don't provoke him, he will naturally not have random conflicts with others.
But sometimes it doesn't mean that you can avoid it by avoiding it.
After all, the most indispensable thing here is racial discrimination.
Of course, since Don King spent so much money to sign him, even if something unexpected happened, the other party would probably find a way to protect him.
