Chapter 639 [Play Hard to Get, See the True Nature]

When a company develops to a certain level, as long as the decision-makers do not expand recklessly, it will prosper and develop vigorously.

Facebook is now such a giant, involving businesses including social platforms, videos, sports live broadcasts, games, movies, etc. Many NBA owners want to get online with them, and the Clippers are certainly no exception.

Before going overseas, Donald Sterling took the initiative to call Yang Rui to discuss the possibility of cooperation, saying that Dunleavy would definitely not renew his contract with the Clippers next season.

Yang Rui said he would not consider coaching for the time being and dismissed Sterling.

This is playing hard to get. For a bad team like the Clippers, it would be too suspicious if Yang Rui showed interest. Facebook Sports has not broadcast Clippers games before. No matter how low the broadcast rights are, it will lose money because there are no ratings.

The five-year plan to acquire the Clippers has been set. There are not many insiders at Facebook, and they are all reliable company veterans.

What Yang Rui has to do is to show that he has no interest in the Clippers, wait until next year to properly contact the Rockets and Warriors, and use news publicity to create the illusion that he plans to join the two teams, and let everyone know, The owners of both teams want to use part of their shares to win him over in order to achieve the purpose of cooperating with Facebook.

When the preparation reaches a certain level, Yang Rui will accept an interview and express that he has no intention of becoming a shareholder or buying a team, and that he is only a coach out of hobbies and likes basketball.

Then, the task of communicating with Sterling fell to Thomas Bentley, who will become the "breakthrough" for inviting Yang Rui to join. Yang Rui is not interested in asking for shares. He has them. As long as he is given satisfactory shares, he will have the opportunity to cooperate with Facebook. He will persuade Yang Rui to join a "bad team" as a coach.

The key to the negotiation is the "right of first refusal on shares", which must be written into the contract. Once Sterling can no longer play in the future and must sell the team, his shares must be sold first to Thomas and Yang Rui. Facebook If the company doesn't want it, it can sell it to others.

In this way, once something happens to Sterling, Facebook won't have to compete with multiple consortiums and can directly get the Clippers. Others have no way to do it because they have contracts.

It's impossible for Sterling not to get into trouble. Even if Sterling doesn't commit suicide in 2014, Thomas will still have a way to expose the dirt on him. He can even contact the president and work together to deal with Sterling.

Businessmen, hurt people.

After knowing the strategy, Yang Rui lamented that it was too insidious. Sterling asked him to be a coach and cooperate with Facebook. He can only be described as "bringing the wolf into the house", but he still thought it was a good thing.

Of course, Sterling is indeed profitable in the short term. If the Clippers sell now, they will definitely not be able to sell it at a high price. They will sell the team after showing results. Although Sterling was kicked out of the NBA and has no meat to eat, he still has a good soup. Not bad.

Thomas went out to sea together and brought a new girlfriend with him.

This girl's name is Alexandra Daddario. She is of mixed race. She is two years younger than Scarlett. She is a third-tier actress in Hollywood. She has a great figure but has not played any major roles because she has a baby face. The face is seriously inconsistent with the figure.

According to the position of the economic company, the most suitable role for her is to play the daughter, a flower vase. She tried to watch "Taken" but failed. The crew finally chose Maggie Grace, who is flat, because her figure was too good. With her image, she would have been killed long ago before the protagonist's father came to rescue her...

The two met at a party and fell in love at first sight. Of course, love at first sight is not uncommon in the entertainment industry, there are too many.

With Thomas as the CEO of Facebook, with a little wave of his hand, models, actresses, and singers all wanted to post him, and people who liked him could fill the Walk of Fame.

After Daddario boarded the boat, Yang Rui's three girls were under great pressure. They were both skinny and had no breasts. Scarlett had breasts, but her legs looked too short when standing next to Daddario. Thomas was very proud of this.

Thomas proposed to make another movie with Daddario as the protagonist, hoping to make her famous.

Perhaps due to the butterfly effect produced by Yang Rui, Daddario even missed out on "Percy Jackson and the Vulcan Thief". The role in that movie was won by Kristen Stewart, and Kristen's role as Bella Robbed by Nina.

Yang Rui wrote a script on the boat in two days, which he said was tailor-made for Daddario. It was called "Armageddon," a disaster movie about the California earthquake. His efficiency is astonishing. He has even chosen the male lead. If he casts Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who has been on the block recently, the pay will definitely be very low.

The movie is preparing to be a big production, a 3D version, with an investment of 100 million, and is expected to be released in the second half of next year. "Despicable Me" has also begun production and is preparing to be released next year.

After Daddario got the promise, he thanked him profusely and was happy that he was going to get ahead.

Yang Rui knows that by the end of this year, "Avatar" will ignite a new era of 3D and drive the global movie market. Next year's movie box office will explode, not only in the United States, but also in China.

Gorgeous trash movies like "Alice in Wonderland" can be popular, and "The Fallout" and "Despicable Me" can definitely make a lot of money.

Next year, Echo's reputation will be completely established. Jennifer Aniston will be a producer and earn money from one film. In the past two years, she has been suppressing her ex-husband Brad Pitt.

After deciding on a movie plan, Thomas went back to the company, and Yang Rui went to Europe with the three girls. In January, they went to Sanya, China. They also spent the New Year in China, interacting with fans and doing publicity. Movie.

Nina has become very popular thanks to the two Twilight movies. Stana is well-known to Chinese movie fans for the Resident Evil series. Scarlett's situation is the funniest. Many people showed their support by showing her support for the poster of "The Spy" when she was fat.

In early March, they returned to the United States together and had a lot of fun. The three girls have all gained a little weight, and gained three pounds during the holidays. The various Chinese delicacies are addictive.

Yang Rui was different. He was almost exhausted and needed to go home and have a good rest.

The relationship between the four was asked by countless reporters, and Yang Rui always said that it was just like that. Although there are many polygamous countries in the world, and there is also a polygamous Mormon church in Utah, it is still rare for a public figure to openly state that he is responsible for three women, and he frequently makes headlines.

Because unlike Leonardo and Charlie Sheen, playboys with thousands of dollars, Yang Rui is both romantic and dedicated, and has no other scandals. Therefore, he has become a maverick representative all over the world.

When Yang Rui returned to Los Angeles, many sports reporters immediately wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with him, asking him to evaluate the first half of the NBA season and predict the championship. They especially wanted to hear his evaluation of the Lakers.

Yang Rui said that he had not paid attention to NBA games recently and did not evaluate anyone. Then he went to Houston and Oakland as planned to meet with the owners of the Rockets and Warriors.

This is not perfunctory. Yang Rui doesn't care which team wins this season, nor does he watch NBA games. At most, he pays attention to the scores every day. After getting used to being the focus of the league, he is no longer interested in following the NBA as a spectator.

In the process of contacting the owners of the two teams, Yang Rui once again witnessed human nature. The two owners, who had been exposed by the media several times as wanting to sell the team, never mentioned selling the team when they met Yang Rui, and were only willing to let him become a shareholder. Small boss, and then cooperate with Facebook.

Their fundamental purpose in wooing Yang Rui is to revive the team, improve its record, attract fans, and make a lot of money. If Yang Rui did not have the background of a major shareholder of Facebook, they would not be so generous and willing to give up their shares.

After seeing clearly the nature of a capitalist, Yang Rui has completely relaxed his mentality and no longer thinks that being insincere and submissive is insidious. Since Facebook went public, he has been different from other coaches and has allowed the Lakers to take advantage for five years. He has long since exhausted all his benevolence and justice.
