The next morning, Xiao Yang woke up feeling refreshed. He looked at the beauty in his arms and then at her lips, which were slightly red and swollen from overwork.
Xiao Yang smiled smugly and kissed Charaz's forehead.
Charaz's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes to see Xiao Yang staring at his mouth lecherously.
Her pretty face flushed red as she remembered the madness from last night." What bad idea are you thinking of again?" Charlizards pinched Xiao Yang's soft waist and gave it a hard squeeze.
"Aiyo, I was thinking that we could unlock more positions in the future.”Xiao Yang looked at Charaz with an evil smile.
"Don't even think about it ~ I'm willing to admit defeat this time. I won't be fooled next time.”
" Don't. You give it to me this time, and I'll give it to you next time. I can't let you suffer a loss." Xiao Yang hugged Charliz smugly. His mouth and hands were starting to be dishonest.
The two of them stuck to each other in bed for a while. After doing a morning exercise, they got up and washed up.
Xiao Yang, who was dressed neatly, enjoyed the breakfast Charlizards had prepared for him. He then drove Charlizards to the set. Charlizards had applied for leave last night. Her movie scenes had not been completed yet.
After sending his girlfriend off, Xiao Yang drove to Anderma with nothing to do.
Plank was in the middle of a meeting in the conference room. He stood outside the door and listened for a while. Xiao Yang was no longer interested in leaning against the wall when it came to marketing, so he went to Plank's office.
He sat on the sofa and casually picked up a few newspapers. It was obvious that they had just been delivered this morning.
" Luo City rookie's stunning performance!”
"Kobe! Jordan's successor has appeared!"
"Anderma's Heaven Shocking Gambling Bet is right?”
" A discerning eye recognizes a hero. Who is Kobe's Bole?"
"Shark attack, eight minutes of bloodlust!”
" The new owner of the Laker team brought the Americans to watch the match and became Kobe's new fan."
……
……
The newspapers were all local sports newspapers in Los Angeles, and the headlines were obviously related to the Lakers-Timberwolves game last night.
Xiao Yang even saw a photo of himself. The cameraman's photography skills were pretty good, and he managed to capture the moment when Kobe walked past the sidelines and turned his head to look at him and Charaz.
"So handsome!"
"He's even more handsome than Xiaobei!"
Xiao Yang shamelessly looked at his own reflection in the newspaper, admiring it in delight.
The office door was pushed open and Plank walked in.
"Eh? "What brings you here today?" Plank was surprised to see Xiao Yang sitting on the sofa.
"I'm here to see how the company is developing. You're not a competent CEO.”Xiao Yang smiled and hugged Plank." But it looks like you did a good job."”
"Haha, it's all thanks to your foresight.”Plank was particularly energetic when he talked about his work.
"Although he hasn't played in the regular season, Kobe's performance yesterday has already won over many fans and media. As long as he keeps up this performance, Anderma will definitely benefit a lot.”
When Plank talked about the spokesperson's explosive performance, he seemed even happier. He picked up the newspaper on the table and waved it at Xiao Yang.
"Yes, yes. Calm down. I've just read these newspapers.”Xiao Yang pressed his hands together, signaling for Plank to calm down.
"Although Kobe's performance yesterday was good, it was only a preseason game. As a rookie who just entered the league, you can't expect him to perform like this every game. He's not Jordan, and he hasn't even played in the NCAA.”Xiao Yang didn't think too much about it.
He knew that the 17-year-old Kobe would be able to average 17 points per game in his first year of playing. He did not expect Kobe to be strong in his first season. His goal was still next year.
"I know, but it's precisely because he's young now that he has unlimited potential in the future. We've signed him for seven years, so he'll definitely be a superstar in the league.”Plank was still very excited. His seven-year contract with Kobe represented unlimited possibilities.
"Speaking of which, I want to discuss with you.”Xiao Yang looked at Plank and said seriously.
"We only have Kobe as our spokesperson. Isn't that too little? Besides, Kobe can only represent the basketball field. We can't give up on other sports.”Xiao Yang did not want An Dema to be limited to basketball in the future.
"Then…you mean we have to sign a few more endorsements?”Plank nodded." Our audience can't be too limited.”
"Yes, football, baseball, tennis, football, ice cream…Our layout is broader.”Xiao Yang nodded.
Xiao Yang could not make use of his foresight in these sports. After all, he did not really watch these games in his previous life. At most, he had seen them on the news once or twice. Football was fine, but he knew nothing about other sports.
"Other than basketball and football, you'll be in charge of the other sports endorsers. Uh…I'll provide a few candidates for tennis.”Xiao Yang did not forget the tennis giants like Rafael, Roger Federer, and Serena Williams. Oh right, there was also Sharapova. This tennis beauty could not be taken advantage of by Vujasic. Xiao Yang began to fantasize again.
"Sure, but I think An Dema should first establish a foothold in the basketball market and then consider expanding into other markets.”Plank still wanted to stabilize the market first.
"You decide on this. I'm just giving you a big idea. You're responsible for the specifics.”Xiao Yang still adhered to the idea of leaving things to the professionals.
"Also, An Dema will definitely need to go through several rounds of financing before it can go public.”Xiao Yang raised the most important point."I hope that no matter how many rounds of funding An Dema raises in the future, my shares will remain above 67%. I will invest as much money as I need to.”
Only by controlling more than two-thirds of the shares would Xiao Yang be able to do whatever he wanted in Anderma. He could make any decisions without going through the board of directors. This kind of power could only be given to a complete controlling shareholder. Even if you controlled 51%, it would not work. That would only be considered a majority controlling shareholder. If a board of directors was held, some decisions might still be vetoed.
Plank nodded, indicating that he understood Xiao Yang's plan. For him, it was definitely best for Xiao Yang to be the boss because Xiao Yang basically did not interfere with his work as the CEO and gave him a high degree of freedom. If there was another decision-maker, it was still uncertain whether he, a small shareholder, could continue to be the CEO. Even if he continued to be the CEO, his power would not be as great as it was now.
Xiao Yang and Plank chatted for a while before he stood up to leave. He said that he would send over the list of endorsers that needed to be signed in a few days. When the time came, he would not interfere like he did with Kobe. Instead, he would hand it over to An Dema's professional business team to negotiate.
Xiao Yang had nowhere else to go after leaving Anderma, so he drove straight to Staples.
Although they had played yesterday, the team continued to train today. After all, the regular season was about to begin.
Xiao Yang stood in his office on the second floor and watched for a while. A group of burly men were training seriously on the training ground below, sweating profusely. Only a fat man was sitting on the sidelines with his legs crossed and chatting with the trainer. From time to time, he would laugh out loud.
It was O'Neal again. Xiao Yang frowned. What was going on? Everyone was training. Why was this fatty watching from the sidelines? His clothes were still dry, unlike the others whose training clothes were already drenched in sweat.
Xiao Yang walked into West's office with a dark face. West was sitting inside reading some documents. When he saw Xiao Yang come in, he put down the documents in his hands and stood up to greet Xiao Yang, indicating for him to sit down.
"Jerry, I just watched the team's training.”Xiao Yang cut to the chase and went straight to the point.
"Haha, you saw how energetic those lads were. Their morale was very high.”West looked very happy. The current team was not as hopeless as it had been a few years ago.
"Yes, most of them are very hardworking.”Xiao Yang nodded." But why did I see Shaq sitting next to him and not participating in the training? His clothes weren't even wet.”
West also frowned." Sigh, he asked for leave from the coaching staff. He said that he was too heavy and that daily training would increase the burden on his knees. He hoped that he would only do some simple warm-up exercises in the team's training in the future.”
Speaking of this, West's expression did not look too good. He had been a hard-working person during his playing days. Not only did he work hard on the field, but he also trained extremely hard off the field. Otherwise, he would not have been the only loser in history to be awarded the FVP title.
Obviously, O'Neal's attitude toward training made West unhappy, but as a superstar in the league, O'Neal just did not participate in training. Moreover, he came to the team's training on time, so West could not fall out with him over this matter.
Xiao Yang's face darkened even more when he heard West's words. What kind of reason was this? That fatty was only 25 years old, not a veteran in his thirties who needed to take good care of himself. You said your knees were heavy, so you could at least practice your free throws, right? Others were working themselves to death on the court, but you were just chatting and laughing on the sidelines. What were those serious players going to do? The boss of the team had taken the lead in not training. What a joke!
Xiao Yang didn't say anything else. He patted West and returned to his office.
Next year, I'll definitely sell this damn fatty next year!
