PS：!!!!!!!
After signing the contract, Shen Xiao started chatting with Larry Page."In the future, the internet will flourish. The concept of consumption in the future would definitely change. They could shop online, watch videos online, listen to music online, and even pay online.”
"Our two companies can deepen our cooperation. We'll insert Amazon's website link into the search engine.”
"Hey, Paige, although I'm the third largest shareholder of Amazon, I'm still a shareholder. However, I have never interfered in the company's affairs. I have always believed that professional matters should be left to the professionals.”Shen Xiao shrugged and spread out his hands to express his helplessness.
"Okay, alright. Then I'll talk to Amazon personally.”Larry Page finally understood that this rising star in the financial world only wanted to invest and earn dividends.
That night, Shen Xiao returned to a local five-star hotel and stayed in the presidential suite.
Shen Xiao was wearing a large white bathrobe with a figure-eight knot tied around his waist. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window and looked down at the ant-like crowd below. His heart was filled with thoughts.
How can I make the Olsen sisters willingly become my women?
Because they were still underage, only seventeen years old. The laws of the United States of America were very strict with the protection of underage children. There was even zero tolerance!!
The fastest way was to invest in a movie!
Thinking about Hollywood, it was normal for a blockbuster movie to cost one to two hundred million yuan.
However, he was not very familiar with movies. In his previous life, he was not in the industry and did not know how to operate a movie.
Shen Xiao suddenly thought of his mother, whom he had not seen for many years. Perhaps she could give him some advice.
"Hi, Mommy. Right, I didn't disturb your rest at this time, right?”
"Hi, dear baby. I'm sunbathing on the beach in Sydney. What's the matter?”
"Mommy, it's like this. I want to invest in a movie, but I don't have any connections.”Shen Xiao said as he walked back to the bedroom and closed the door.
"Invest in movies? Then you can buy a Hollywood film company. Anyway, since he had lost money, he would just treat it as a game and have fun.”
"Oh right, my dear baby. I heard that you're in love? And they're the Olsen sisters."
Shen Xiao smiled bitterly. This news spread too fast. Even his mother on the other side of the world knew about it!
"My dear baby, I don't object to you dating. But don't get married, understand?"
"You have Morgan's blood in you, and your marriage involves many aspects.”
Shen Xiao's expression darkened and he retorted in a deep voice,"Mommy, I can make the decisions for my own marriage! Besides, I'm already an adult!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Xiao hung up the phone. With an indignant expression, he smashed the phone on the ground.
"Hu…Hu…"
Shen Xiao lay on the bed and took deep breaths to calm himself down.
"Hello? James, I have something important to do next week. I can't accompany you to the denver plateau." Shen Xiao dialed James 'private number.
"Shen, you…don't sound good. Are you okay?”James listened to the voice on the other end of the phone and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine. This time, you and Nash must be careful not to get injured.”
"The last time we were at home, we nailed the denver nuggets to the humiliation pole with a 40-point difference. This time, they would definitely come for revenge.”
Shen Xiao specially called and reminded James to protect himself on the court.
"Don't worry, Shen. There's Nash. Dwight " Iguodala and the others are such great teammates. They can help me. I believe that we will definitely be able to make it to the finals this year.”James felt warm inside. After all, he had a boss and manager who cared so much about him.
"Alright, don't try too hard. This was just an ordinary regular season match.”
Just as he hung up the phone, Shen Xiao dialed the "All-rounded Personal Assistant Butler" of his American Express black card.
"Hello, respected Black Card Master. May I know what you need?"
Shen Xiao thought about it and gave a difficult question."It's like this. I want to get the private phone number of the CEO of Lucasfilm, George Lucas. Can you do it?"
"Of course you can. As long as he could think of it, he could do it. Please give us 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, we will contact you.”
Shen Xiao thought about it and threw his phone on the bed.
After a while, less than 30 minutes later, the phone rang.
" Respected American Express black card owner, George Lucas 'private phone number XXXXXXXX."
"Thank you." Shen Xiao was deep in thought.
Then, he took the initiative to call again, and the call went through.
"Hello, who are you?" On the other end of the phone, a boy with a deep voice came through.
"Hello, George Lucas. I'm Shen Xiao, the owner of the NBA's Oakland Cavaliers. I'm also the third largest shareholder of Amazon.”Shen Xiao introduced himself.
“……what？Shen. I never watch basketball, I only watch the National Football League.”Lucas was a little surprised and skeptical.
"No, no, I'll call you this time. He wants to invest in Lucasfilm."
"I won't sell it, Lucasfilm. It's my blood and sweat.”Lucas looked very excited.
Shen Xiao sneered and exposed Lucas. We're all merchants, you're not selling. It was because the price offered was not enough to move you.”
"Besides, let me finish. I'm a layman. I'll invest in Lucasfilm, and I won't interfere with the management of the company. The company is still yours. I only want 40% of the shares and become the second largest shareholder. You only need to give me 25% of the dividends every year."
Shen Xiao's words gave Lucas a moment of reassurance!
"Lucas, I have money. You have the skills and connections. We can work together.”
"Then…how much are you willing to pay?" Lucas finally relented.
"800 million, 800 million USD! And it's cash!" Shen Xiao said shockingly.
Lucasfilm's most famous work was the Star Wars series. The company was the industry leader in visual effects, sound effects, and computer animation. Due to their outstanding professional skills, their subsidiary companies often assisted other film production companies.
Eight hundred million USD in cash, a full 20% premium, was enough to show Shen Xiao's sincerity!
Of course, in his later memories, Shen Xiao vaguely remembered that Lucasfilm was acquired by Orlando. Therefore, this investment was definitely profitable.
Moreover, there was another benefit. He could rely on a famous film company in Hollywood. He even specially invested in the production of a movie that would become a hit in the future.
"Shen, you are very sincere. Let's…talk face to face. It's not convenient to talk over the phone.”Lucas said in a deep voice.
"Okay, I'll fly over tomorrow.”
…….…..
It was December 3rd, and it had been three days since Shen Xiao arrived in San Francisco.
For the past three days, he had been in Lucasfilm's headquarters building, which was between the Golden Gate Bridge and Fisherman's Wharf. It was a six-minute walk from the San Francisco Palace of Art.
There was a disagreement in the negotiations. George Lucas seemed to be hesitating and did not want to sell 40% of the shares to Shen Xiao. Instead, she used 35% of the shares and 680 million USD to convince Shen Xiao.
Shen Xiao did not agree or object. Instead, she found an excuse to temporarily ignore him.
For the past two days, Shen Xiao would watch the broadcast of the Cavaliers on the ESPM sports channel at 8 pm every night.
Two away matches, one win and one loss!
The No. 2 team challenged the Nuggets in the away game. Perhaps it was due to the climate of the denver plateau. In the first half, the team made 39 shots and only hit 18 times. Among them, 6 out of 18 three-pointers. Only Battier and Nash scored in double figures.
James felt cold throughout the game. 2 out of 10. The more he couldn't score, the more he wanted to score, and the more he occupied the ball!
They trailed by a full seven points at halftime and entered the halftime interval.
In the second half, Thibodeau still sent out the main starting lineup. James seemed to wake up and began to force the inside line to attract the opponent's double-team. Then, he distributed the ball to the big brother on the outside line.
Big Bro hit three three-pointers in a row, boosting the team's morale.
Anthony, the little melon, had an explosive feel. He glided continuously, stopped mid-distance, and flipped back to make a fadeaway jump shot. He could only let Big Brother and Battier, the two of them, double team and help defend, scoring 15 points!
In the second half of the third quarter, Howard finally began to exert his strength. He blocked shots continuously and grabbed the offensive rebound. He scored 11 points in a row.
In the fourth quarter, the points gap gradually widened. In the end, the Cavaliers won 104-101 against the Nuggets, taking away the victory from the away game.
On the 3rd, it was another away game. He flew to Los Angeles to challenge the Los Angeles Clippers.
The first assistant, Tom Thibodeau, once again sent out the entire main lineup and started the match.
Unfortunately, this time, the entire Cavaliers seemed to be sleepwalking. Their field goal percentage was only 29.3%, and their three-point field goal percentage was only 30.1%, setting a new record low.
In the end, the Cavaliers lost to the Clippers 82-95.
Shen Xiao watched the broadcast of these two games on the television and did not blame Sibodu. He could also see his coaching style, which was to use the main force to the death for the team's record.
In the last away game, James and Nash. Iguodala played the entire 48 minutes without a minute of rest.
A long playing time and an unlimited consumption of the players 'stamina was Tom Thibodeau's style.
He couldn't help but recall Rose of the Windy City!
