Chapter 214: The Smell of Vinegar
When the three of them were talking happily, Yang Mo's phone rang at an inopportune moment. The ringing was urgent, so Yang Mo could only smile apologetically at the two of them, then walked over to pick up the phone. It showed Lu Xueman's name, so she pressed the answer button.
"I have two things to tell you, one official and one private." Lu Xueman said very frankly: "The first thing is that I just came back from New York with my sister and mother, and we are staying at your house tonight. The second thing is that the amount of the sneaker contract is already at the superstar level, so it can be signed. Also, I have found a few other domestic companies that you can cooperate with, and their sponsorship contracts are very good."
"Um, okay, let's talk when we get home later." Yang Mo said simply.
"Okay, then come back early. Also... my mother and sister may have some misunderstandings about the relationship between you and me, so you can handle it yourself when the time comes!" Lu Xueman hung up the phone after saying this.
I'll take care of it. What should I do?
Yang Mo grumbled in anger. What should he do? Should he live up to the old lady's kindness? Of course not. The mother-in-law was interesting. How could the son-in-law be so stupid as to distance himself from the matter? For such a matter, he had to strike while the snake was still alive. If he could get it done right away, he would never delay it until tomorrow.
Wade, Pat Riley had already waved and left the locker room when Yang Mo answered the phone.
So after the call, Yang Mo picked up her bag and walked back. This is the good thing about playing at home. You don't have to take the bus back to the hotel, you can drive directly home to sleep. No matter how good the hotel is, it is not as warm as your own home!
When Yang Mo drove his pickup truck to the door of his home and saw the bright lights inside, he suddenly felt an inexplicable warmth of family. In the vast night sky, there was a light lit for him, waiting for him to return home. This feeling... Yang Mo had never tasted it in his life. As an orphan, he always faced darkness when he returned home. Sometimes he would deliberately not turn on the lights because he was short of money, fearing that he could not pay the electricity bill.
Driving the car into the yard, Yang Mo's eyes were inexplicably moist. She got out of the car, walked quickly into the hall, and found two beautiful women lying on the sofa. Both of them had perfect figures, with the right curves and the right firmness.
Before Yang Mo could ask any questions, the pretty girl on the left, wearing tight jeans, came up to her in a familiar manner, saying sweetly, "Brother-in-law, you're back!"
When she said this, Yang Mo was a little dumbfounded. Lu Xueman, another beauty who was lying on the sofa, stood up with her eyes wide open and said sternly, "Xue Fei, why are you yelling? I told you, this is my business partner."
"Don't listen to her." Yang Mo laughed, stretched out his hand and put his arm around Xue Fei's shoulders, and said affectionately: "Your sister is a good person, but she is stubborn. She is so old, and she is still afraid that your mother will say that she is in a premature relationship."
"Yes, brother-in-law is right!" Lu Xuefei, who had a ponytail, nodded in agreement, and then began to lecture Lu Xueman: "Sister, you are now at the age of late marriage and late childbearing. Mom and I are most worried about your marriage. You should get it done quickly, mom is waiting to hold her grandchildren!"
"Yes, Xue Man, let's put the issue of having children on the agenda as soon as possible. Don't let the old man wait too anxiously. I've been the only son for three generations, and we can't let the Yang family die out." Yang Mo quickly chimed in.
"Yes, sister, your job is easy now. Every day a bunch of people follow you with contracts in their hands. You only need to look at documents and make phone calls. Why don't you use the time to have a baby?" Lu Xuefei persuaded seriously.
Yang Mo and Lu Xueman sang the same tune, making Lu Xueman so angry that she bent down to take off her slippers, raised her slippers and chased after Lu Xuefei to hit her: "You stupid girl, you are a traitor and you actually helped outsiders to bully me!"
Two stunning beauties were playing around in front of him. Yang Mo was very happy and quickly ran to sit on the sofa, watching the two of them wrestling with each other. The scene was full of beauty.
Cough cough!
The two of them didn't stop fighting until they heard a cough in the room, for fear of disturbing their mother inside. The two looked at each other, and Lu Xueman whispered a few words to Lu Xuefei, telling her to go to bed quickly.
Lu Xuefei pouted and left unhappily. Yang Mo quickly waved to her and said good night. She was a little happier and replied, "Brother-in-law, good night. Be moderate and take care of yourself!"
Um?
Yang Mo was a little confused when she heard the latter part: Take care of yourself? Be moderate? What does that mean?
When Lu Xueman heard this, she immediately made a compromise, with anger and shyness on her face.
Yang Mo suddenly realized what was going on. She immediately grinned and thought to herself that this sister-in-law knows a lot!
Yang Mo was laughing when Lu Xueman threw a pair of slippers at her: "Why are you grinning? Don't you dare hit on my sister, you pervert!"
"What what what!" Yang Mo frowned and said with a mean smile: "Would I be the kind of person who would lay hands on my sister-in-law? Although we have a folk proverb in China that says that a sister-in-law's butt is half as big as her brother-in-law's. But am I that kind of person? Obviously not!"
"Go to hell!" Lu Xueman threw another slipper over.
Yang Mo dodged the attack very quickly. As the best defensive player on the Heat team, it was easy for him to dodge this kind of attack!
Yang Mo dodged the slipper attack, and Lu Xueman had already sat over. Yang Mo dodged quickly, thinking that she would attack again, but she took out a stack of contracts from her bag and said one by one: "This is the Nike contract, five years, 75 million US dollars, and there are bonus clauses, and it promises to provide the best training services. This is the Adidas contract, five years, 80 million, and there are bonuses. But... Adidas' sports training center is not as good as Nike's. You can see that the players they signed are injured every now and then. This is Jordan's contract, five years, 88 million. This is a sub-brand of Nike. I think the extra money should be Michael Jordan's love for you."
"I think it's still a bit low." Yang Mo shook his head. Through this period of rapid growth, he found that his popularity was getting higher and higher, so he held up a finger and said, "The contract I want starts at 100 million. I can't be lower than Derrick Rose and LeBron James. Of course, if there are additional bonus clauses, I can accept a minimum contract of 70 million, but the number of years cannot exceed six years."
If it was a month ago, Lu Xueman would definitely think that Yang Mo was asking for too much. But now, she felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Although the price was a bit unreasonable, it was not impossible to get it.
So she folded the three contracts together, tore them up without hesitation, and then took out several patent documents and handed them to Yang Mo: "This is the Yang Mo trademark patent that I registered in various Asian countries. We must not make the same mistake as Yao Ming, who was a copycat manufacturer who dared to use the name Yao Ming to do business. In the future, as long as there are unauthorized Yang Mo brand products on the market, we have the legal basis to sue them until they go bankrupt."
"Well, very good." Yang Mo gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely. Patent protection and copyright awareness are very important.
"This is the endorsement contract with China Mobile, 20 million RMB for three years. This is the global endorsement contract with Coca-Cola, 30 million US dollars for three years." Lu Xueman handed over two more contracts. In fact, these two contracts were more like piles of cash than contracts.
"Do you think these two can be signed?" Yang Mo asked casually.
"Okay, that's about it. They are all short-term contracts, and this is almost the limit for both of them. It is impossible to give more. Instead of further exploiting each other, it is better to establish a good cooperation with each other." Lu Xueman analyzed seriously.
"Okay, I'll sign." Yang Mo nodded, picked up the pen, and asked, "How much will you take from these two transactions?"
"Still 500,000 US dollars." Lu Xueman made a price, and then said in silence: "Actually, it's okay if you give a little less, because your influence is so great now. When negotiating a contract, you just need to keep quoting higher prices until they reach their limit."
"It's okay." Yang Mo laughed, reached out and touched Lu Xueman's cheek, teasing: "Isn't it just 500,000 US dollars? Buy cosmetics for my wife. My wife will dress up beautifully, and I will also have face."
Lu Xueman rolled her eyes at Yang Mo in annoyance and said, "Stop talking so much nonsense. I didn't know you had girlfriends everywhere. What happened between you and Liu Yifei last time? Did you have a falling out over filming an advertisement?"
Although Lu Xueman was asking questions, the smell of jealousy was pervasive, and it was indescribably sour.
Yang Mo chuckled twice, feeling very happy. Lu Xueman's jealousy proved that she liked her. As long as she liked her, things would be much easier.
So, he chuckled and replied, "You didn't see her statement, did you? We're just ordinary friends. OK?"
"In that video, it seems to me that she is hugging you like she is hugging her boyfriend." Lu Xueman said seriously.
“How many times have you watched that video?”
"About four or five hours..."
Lu Xueman blurted out these words, and she regretted it as soon as she said them. How could she let him know that she valued him so much?
Unfortunately, it was too late for her to shut up. After Yang Mo heard it, she laughed: "You still say you don't care about me!"
As he said that, Yang Mo held her head and moved closer to her, but before he could kiss her lips, he heard two sounds from behind... cough cough!
