Chapter 254 Two Losers
At this moment, Yang Mo's cell phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Lu Xueman calling. She pressed the answer button. As soon as the call was connected, Lu Xueman's voice came over very clearly: "Samsung Mobile Phones has offered you a five-year endorsement price of 70 million US dollars. What do you think?"
"70 million for five years?" Yang Mo deliberately said loudly in English, "Tell Samsung that my annual salary for endorsements must be at least 15 million US dollars. If it's less than this, don't even talk about it."
Yang Mo's voice was so loud that everyone in the locker room could hear the number he said. They were shocked again. A 15 million yuan a year endorsement contract. This was just an advertiser. It was higher than our salary for playing basketball for a year. Why?
When the Eastern Conference star was feeling unhappy, Lu Xueman on the other end said unhappily, "Are you sick? Why are you speaking English all of a sudden?"
Yang Mo was scolded like this, but he was happy in his heart because he saw the faces of those jealous guys turned stiff.
"No big deal, just talk about more than 15 million. The Korean manufacturer will definitely agree to it." Yang Mo said confidently: "After all, my popularity in Korea is not low at all."
"Well, OK." Lu Xueman nodded, and then said, "I will have a specific meeting with Girls' Generation this afternoon. Once we are all united, I will poach people from Korean entertainment companies, build a team for an entertainment company, and then officially confront SM. However, how much commission do you think we should give Girls' Generation?"
"I'll leave it to you to take full responsibility. In fact, you can make them bosses too, and give them shares..."
Before Yang Mo finished her words, Lu Xueman on the other end interrupted her firmly: "No, since I want to run an entertainment company, I must do my best. In the future, the industry chain of movies, music, TV series, etc. will be built in one go. We will occupy market share in the entertainment industry of China, the United States, and South Korea. How can we give them shares? I would rather give them a base salary plus commission than give them shares."
"Well... I'll leave it to you, and I'll take care of the money." Seeing Lu Xueman's insistence, Yang Mo could only let her handle it, after all, she was a professional. And he did think that it was not a good idea to give Girls' Generation shares, after all, not all nine of them were his wives, and it was better not to let outsiders take advantage of the situation.
"Yes." Lu Xueman nodded, and then continued: "Let me reach a verbal agreement with you first. I will be responsible for the operation of this entertainment company, and I will also take 10% of the shares. Do you agree?"
"Yes, of course." Yang Mo agreed immediately. She took care of everything, so it was not too much to get 10% of the profit. Besides, she was his wife, so she could put money into another pocket.
"Okay, I'll fly to Korea tonight. Don't cause any trouble in the U.S., and take care of my sister and my mom. By the way, stay away from my sister at night, so that nothing bad happens."
"Um... okay." Yang Mo nodded awkwardly.
Soon, the person on the other end hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Dwyane Wade came up with a smile, and said with a slightly uncomfortable expression: "Yang, you are the most profitable among basketball stars now. When can you invite everyone to go out and have fun?"
No one likes to see others living better than themselves, especially when they used to suppress this person. Wade just looked uncomfortable, and he was very generous not to have any grudges in his heart.
Others have completely distanced themselves from Yang Mo. Guo Degang said it well, colleagues are enemies, and the best colleagues are the target of public criticism, especially since Yang Mo has no convincing data on the court.
Before Yang Mo could answer, Devin Harris' sour voice rang out beside him: "Hey, how can a basketball player compare to someone who makes an action movie?"
"Yeah, it would be great if I could find a TV station to broadcast live the footage of me chasing the kidnappers. Maybe I could earn three or four hundred million dollars a day." Danny Granger next to him also said casually.
Yang Mo was a person who couldn't tolerate any sand in her eyes, so how could she tolerate the innuendo in the words of these two guys?
He immediately stood up. He glanced at the two with disdain and said calmly, "If you two want to make a lot of money, I have a suggestion. We can find a TV station to broadcast our competition live. If you two can beat me, a guy who makes animation films, you will definitely become famous all over the world. At that time, advertising endorsements will come to you continuously, and Hollywood will tailor-make various scripts for you. Then you won't have to be so sour and whine like you are being raped."
When Yang Mo made the suggestion, the two looked at each other and didn't dare to say a word.
They want to be famous and make a lot of money, but they don't want to risk their lives. Everyone on earth knows how powerful Yang Mo's punch is, and they don't want to use their brains to measure Yang Mo's hitting ability.
"You two, what do you think?" Yang Mo chuckled disdainfully and continued, "We can even go a little bigger, like setting up a life-and-death competition. Even if you beat me to death, you won't be held legally responsible. If you beat me to death on stage, it will be even more sensational, and you will definitely become global idols. Of course, if I smash your skulls to death one by one, you can't blame me."
Yang Mo's words made the two men shudder. They didn't have the confidence to beat Yang Mo to death. Instead, they imagined themselves being beaten to pieces by Yang Mo's fist. Immediately, they shrank their heads in fear.
Seeing this, Yang Mo sneered and said with great contempt: "Since you don't dare to compete with me in fistfighting, then don't play the 'jealous and unconvinced' game with me. Useless people should hide in the corner and reflect on themselves. What qualifications do they have to complain?"
Yang Mo's words hit the two men's spines, saying that they were worse than shit, and they were not convinced. Granger threatened on the spot: "If you have the ability, beat us with basketball. What's the point of relying on so-called heroic deeds?"
"Just you guys?" Yang Mo glanced at them with contempt, sneered and said, "Are you worthy enough to be my opponent?"
Yang Mo's disdainful words made the two of them tremble with anger: "You..."
"What's wrong with me? Do you two losers still want to fight me?" Yang Mo took a step forward, looking as if he was going to teach them a lesson.
The two men were really pissed off by Yang Mo, and they clenched their fists and were about to hit Yang Mo.
At this time, Garnett and Iverson, who had just entered the room, came over. Iverson persuaded Devin Harris and the other two, while Garnett pulled Yang Mo out of the locker room and persuaded him earnestly: "Yang, you have made so much money now, don't bother with them, they are just envious of you."
"I can't stand those losers who have no ability and foul mouths . They whine like women." Yang Mo deliberately said loudly, just to let the two 'losers' inside hear.
Seeing this, Garnett quickly pulled Yang Mo two steps away and said, "Yang, you know you are the one who earns the most money now. Plus, you really haven't put up any impressive numbers on the court, so it's normal for them to be dissatisfied with you, a foreign rookie. When my rookie contract ended, I got the biggest contract in the league's history, and those old players were even more jealous. At the beginning, every one of them wanted to beat me up when they met me on the court. They also thought that I didn't deserve so much money, but the fact is that no matter how envious or jealous they are, the money goes into my pocket. So, there's no need for you to fight with them."
Garnett's words were all from the bottom of his heart. His contract that year shocked the entire basketball world. A rookie actually got a contract of nearly 120 million. How could those famous stars who have played their entire lives and have not earned a total of 20 million not be jealous?
"What qualifications do they have to be jealous? I make money based on my own ability. If they have the ability, they can ask those sponsors not to give me endorsement contracts. What's the point of talking like a woman?" Yang Mo said with great dissatisfaction.
"When you can beat them on the court, they won't dare to say anything." Seeing that Yang Mo was so extreme, Kevin Garnett had to use provocation to provoke him.
After Kevin Garnett said this, Yang Mo stopped talking immediately. Instead, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind to teach them a lesson that would completely humiliate them.
