"Hey, Xiao, good morning!" Xiao Yang was woken up by Plank's phone call early in the morning.
"Brother, it's only six o'clock. If you don't give me a reason to wake me up, I'll definitely send you to Africa to sell shoes.”Xiao Yang looked at the time on his watch and rubbed his forehead.
"Oh my god, I didn't know you weren't up yet. Didn't you go watch the All Stars? I thought you were going to party all night!”Plank laughed and joked," I have something to tell you. Both Nikes and Adidas have made an acquisition request for An Dema. I think this matter should be enough to keep me in America and not go to Africa!”
"What?!" Xiao Yang's sleepiness was completely driven away by this piece of news." You're saying that NAC and Adi have their eyes on An Dema!”
"That's right. They had this intention before, but after Kobe's performance in the All-Star Weekend, the value of Anderma has been rising. They officially made a purchase request to Anderma!”Plank was very excited. A company that had only been in operation for a few months had actually caught the eye of an industry giant.
"Did they offer a price?" Although Xiao Yang did not intend to sell it, he still wanted to know how much An Dema was worth in other people's eyes.
" They offered 300 million USD. Adi allowed us to keep 30% of the shares, and they are willing to offer 200 million USD for the rest of the shares!”Plank was very happy. In just a few months, the market value of Anderma had risen so much. He was almost a multimillionaire.
"Not bad, the difference isn't big. It seems that the outside world's valuation of Anderma is around 300 million.”Xiao Yang shook his head. He wasn't excited about this at all. After all, he knew how far Anderma had gone in the future.
"Anderma has no plans to be acquired recently. Refuse them!”Xiao Yang was now the largest shareholder of Under Armour, so unlike other companies, he did not need to hold meetings to discuss the matter. He directly decided on the business operation.
"Alright, whatever you say ~" Plank replied indifferently. He was just too excited to share it with his boss. He was reluctant to sell the company. After all, the new owner would not let an inexperienced young man continue to manage a 300 million yuan company without interfering.
"Right, recently, the sales performance of Under Armour has shown a steady upward trend. The report for the fourth quarter of 1996 already shows that Under Armour has occupied 6% of the sporting goods market in the United States. Even though the first quarter of this year hasn't ended yet, with Kobe's outstanding performance, especially the exposure during the All-Star Weekend, I believe that more people will choose An Dema!”Plank reported the situation of Anderma in one breath.
"I don't care about that. As long as it's developing well, it's fine. Tonight is the All-Star Game. I believe that Kobe's stunt against Jordan will attract more attention from the media. Anderma will welcome more exposure.”Xiao Yang gave Plank a heads-up.
"Don't worry, I've already discussed it with the supplier. They've been working overtime during this period of time, especially the two pairs of Kobe's signature shoes and the coconut shoe series.”Plank had already made preparations in advance.
"Okay, that's it. I still need to catch up on my sleep. Next time, don't disturb me so early in the morning. I'm so angry when I wake up!”Xiao Yang hung up the phone in a huff, pulled the blanket over his head, and went back to sleep.

……
At night, the highlight of the All-Star Weekend was here. The entire Gund Stadium was shining with stars, except for the 24 top NBA stars who were about to present a gorgeous game to the world.
There were also elites from all walks of life sitting on the sidelines. Hollywood's Best Actor and Best Actress, Grammys 'Heavenly King and Queen, Xiao Yang and three beautiful women also appeared on the sidelines.
Charaz and the others had finished their work. The movie was going to be released in four days, so they chose to come to Cairo to relax with Xiao Yang.
"Darling, I missed you guys so much!”Xiao Yang hugged Beckinsale and Mira from both sides. Charlizards acted like a big sister and sat beside Beckinsale.
" Bah!" The three women spat and looked around with red faces. Fortunately, the place was noisy and no one heard what Xiao Yang said.
"Haha, let's watch the competition first!”Xiao Yang raised his eyebrows and signaled for everyone to watch the match first.
In the 1997 All-Star Game, the stars began to enter the stadium. The first was the Western Conference All-Stars.
The Mavericks 'Chris Gatlin was rumored to be traded to the Nets soon, the Timberwolves' Kevin Garnett and his big brother Tom Gugliotta, and the Kings 'Mickey Richmond.
Eddie Jones of the Los Angeles Clippers was still selected by the coach to be an All-Star reserve. Sprewell of the Warriors and Stockton of the Double Demons of Arizona were originally in the starting lineup, but now they were replaced by Kobe.
Next were the five starting players.
In the backfield were the gloves, and the starting lineup consisted of a partnership between Garry Payton and Kobe Bryant.
In the front was Rain Man, Shawn Kemp and Karl Malone, the postman. The center forward was Hakeem Olajuwon.
O'Neal was selected, but he missed the All-Stars because of his injury.
After that, the Eastern Conference All-Stars appeared.
Chris Webber of the Bullets, Joe Dumars of the Diamonds, Kristen Leitner of the Hawks, Tim Hardaway of the Heat, and Trier Brandon of the Cavaliers cheered even louder when they appeared. After all, they were the star players of the Clippers. Then there was Van Beck of the Bucks, and Glenn Rice of the Hornets.
After the substitutes came the starting lineup. The East was different from the West. They started from the fifth position. The first to come out was the African Mountain, Dikembe Mutumbo, whose age could never be guessed. Next was Scotty Pippen and Grant Hill as the front field partners. Then there was Pence, who lost his Sharks teammate in the summer, Anferny Hardaway.
The last one to take the stage was the highly anticipated flying man, Michael Jordan.
The cheers from the audience suddenly went up a few levels. Even Charaz, a Laker fan, couldn't help but jump up from his seat and scream for the flying man.
Xiao Yang's lips were trembling. F * ck, it's Jordan. I can't believe I can watch the match between Jordan and Kobe at such a close distance at the All-Star Stadium. F * ck!
Xiao Yang quietly took out the video recorder he had prepared for tonight at the hotel and aimed it at the field. He did not want to miss this historic moment.
