Chapter 332 Gold Mine, Dowry

At the press conference, Kevin Feige announced that Marvel will immediately create comic stories about He Tianwang and Super Wolverine, and the first issue is expected to be released in a month.

He Tianwang and Super Wolverine are the only two Marvel superhero characters adapted from real people. Their influence is unparalleled. As soon as the contract was signed, their popularity spread around the world through the Internet.

Three hours later, the search volume for related keywords and the click volume for related news, including Huaxia, occupied the top ten of all major portals, triggering a huge public opinion effect.

With an income of 70 million, He Zhongqiu now has available cash of 300 million US dollars.

As long as the comics of the two characters are on the market, he will have a steady stream of copyright income.

The average price of Marvel comic books now is $6.8. Based on this price, he will get a share of $1.2 to $1.3 for every copy sold.

In the United States, a comic book is considered successful if it reaches annual sales of 200,000 copies and sales of more than $1.5 million.

If sales exceed one million copies a year, it is considered a popular work and can be ranked among the top ten best-selling comics.

With sales of two million copies, it is a big hit and can compete for the top three positions.

With his current fame, as long as the quality of his works is good, the sales of He Tianwang and Super Wolverine comics should not be low.

In comparison, the $70 million copyright buyout income is actually just a small amount, and the subsequent Marvel copyright income is the bulk of the income.

Moreover, this is a steady source of income, which will become his gold mine and can be inherited by his descendants for 70 years.

He Zhongqiu received countless celebratory calls and text messages, and countless fans flocked to his online community forum blog to leave messages.

In the evening, he and Bai Laosi celebrated happily. Bai Laosi even excitedly called Yang Xue and begged her to come back quickly, otherwise there would be no Bai Laosi.

Yang Xue asked He Zhongqiu to answer the phone, and the two chatted for a long time.

"Sanjin, I have some ideas..."

"No, Sister Xue, if we don't get the certificate, wouldn't that be too unfair to you?"

"I've thought about it. That certificate is just a piece of paper. If you change your mind, what's the use of that piece of paper?"

"Absolutely not, Sister Xue."

"I just found out yesterday that Liu Yunnong was dating a partner of his company, behind his wife's back. His wife probably doesn't know about it."

"what?"

"Now he is changing the company's equity and transferring assets. He wants to transfer the shares to his partners and leave nothing for his wife. Our company has shares in his company. I also learned about this through this situation."

"This is too..."

"Sanjin, is the certificate between him and his wife useful?"

"Sister Xue, I'm definitely not that kind of person."

"I'm not talking about you. If I had suspected you, I wouldn't have proposed not to get the evidence."

At 2 a.m. on the 10nd, the NBA released a third-party market value assessment report on the league's 05 teams for 30.

The New York Knicks, the league's most valuable team, are worth $11.5 billion, a surge of $7.3 million from two years ago.

The second largest market value is the Los Angeles Lakers, at $4.8 million, an increase of only $8000 million from two years ago, and only 41.7% of the Knicks' market value.

The last market value assessment was in 03, when the Knicks' market value was 4.2 million and the Lakers' was 4 million, a difference of only 2000 million US dollars.

In other words, from the time He Zhongqiu joined the Knicks, to the time they won the championship in 04 and defended the title in 05, the market value of the two teams changed dramatically in just two years.

In 03, after the Lakers won three consecutive championships, their market value also experienced a surge, but the extent of the surge was far less than that of the Knicks after they won two consecutive championships. This is a direct reflection of He Zhongqiu's personal value.

That night, the Knicks faced the Suns at home.

DeAndrei was drooling as he watched Nash running like the wind on the court.

However, when his eyes fell on He Zhongqiu, whose speed was not slower than Nash, his saliva simply flowed out.

He has coached the Suns for three seasons, but without a point guard that suits his tactical requirements, the results have been poor. They were eliminated in the first round last season. If they fail to make it to the second round this season, the management will most likely give up on him.

However, Stoudemire is seriously injured and is out for the season. The possibility of not making the playoffs this season is more than 50%.

He wants Nash, but he wants Wolverine even more. It would be best if these two core players of the Knicks could all be brought to the Suns.

"Rick, what do you think will happen if we get Marion?" Scott Layden asked not far away.

Carlisle chuckled and said, "With Wolverine + Son of the Wind + Hacker who can connect inside and outside, plus Josh Howard and Varejao, our offense and defense will be invincible."

At this point, he thought for a moment and said, "Except for Nash, they are all very young. Marion is only 28 years old, right? Five consecutive championships, the first two championships don't count. Starting from this season, it is guaranteed to be five consecutive championships."

"Haha!" Leiden laughed.

But he knew that the Suns would not trade Marion now. In the Suns' several trade requests, Marion was not included as a bargaining chip.

Marion signed his second contract in 03, which was worth $6 million over six years and expired in 8631. Even if the Suns are willing to trade him, the Knicks do not have the space to accommodate him now.

Unless, trading Crawford or Nash can free up 600 or 1000 million in space.

If there is a chance, he is willing to create an opportunity to trade Marion by trading Crawford.

But Nash, unless a young point guard is found to replace him.

"boom!"

Nearly halfway through the first quarter, He Zhongqiu completed his fifth slam dunk.

D'Antoni wants to play run-and-gun, and the Suns themselves don't have a real center, not even a third-rate one. They have always been mainly relying on Stoudemire and Kurt Thomas, neither of whom are real centers.

Now that Stoudemire is out of action, his replacement is Borisdio, a 203-centimeter inside player.

Kurt Thomas is only 208 cm tall, weighs only 104 kg, and is 34 years old.

He Zhongqiu defeated Dio and Kurt Thomas with one hand and had his way under the basket.

He scored 41 points in three quarters, made 15 of 15 shots, 11 of 11 free throws, and had a 100% hit rate. The Knicks led the Suns by as many as 43 points, and he was too embarrassed to score any more points.

In the end, the score of the game was 65:116, with the Knicks winning by 51 points and winning their 26th regular season game.

The next game will still be at home, against the Wizards on the 6th, and there will be a few days of rest in between.

There was no team training on the 3rd and 4th. He Zhongqiu trained on his own in the morning, practicing two hours of basketball and two hours of martial arts.

These two afternoons, He Zhongqiu took Bai Laosi around New York, causing rumors to fly everywhere.

The scandal between him and Bai Laosi and the news of his breakup with Yang Xue spread from the United States to China and became known to everyone.

When he took Yang Xue and the other two to buy engagement rings, there were some rumors, but not many. This time, there were a hundred times more.

On the evening of the 1st, Yang Xue took the initiative to propose not to hold a public wedding and not to get a marriage certificate. She didn't even need the certificate.

But he had to take out the share transfer certificate of China Mid-Autumn Film and Television Company as a betrothal gift to Tang Lao San and Bai Lao Si, and give them a guarantee according to the previously agreed shares.

In addition, Yang Xue also took into consideration the feelings of Tang Lao San and Bai Lao Si, and also made this decision to prevent the negative impact on He Zhongqiu if the matter was exposed.

He and Bai Lao Si appeared in front of the media frequently, which was also according to the plan. The same thing would happen when Tang Lao San came back.

On the evening of the 4th, Bai Laosi’s mother called and asked, “Dongdong, what’s going on between you and He Zhongqiu, your boss Wolverine?

Today, many of my mother's colleagues and relatives asked me if I was kept by He Zhongqiu and became his mistress, which made me embarrassed. Tell me quickly, what are you doing in the United States now? You also said that you want to study in New York University. Are you really..."

"Mother……"

Bai Laosi followed the agreed tone and referred to He Zhongqiu as her boyfriend.

"What? Isn't his girlfriend Yang Xue, the president of your company?"

"Well, let's talk about this later. I'll tell you and my dad when I return home."

"No, Dongdong, if you tell me now, your dad and I won't be able to hold our heads up in front of our relatives, colleagues, and neighbors."

"Then why don't you go to Yanjing to find Sister Xue, she will tell you."

"Why would you look for her? If you really become He Zhongqiu's girlfriend, wouldn't that steal her position? No matter how thick-skinned I am, I don't have the nerve to look for her!"

"No, no, Mom, go find her, she knows about this."

"I really don't know what the hell you are up to. Okay, I will go to Yanjing with your father right away. If we don't figure this out, we won't be able to live like this."

Similarly, Tang Laosan in Yanjing also received a call from home.

Because she also went to New York some time ago and had the same scandal as He Zhongqiu.

In short, as agreed, everything was pushed to Yang Xue, asking her to solve the problem.

Yang Xue is very busy at the moment, handling company affairs, repairing the building, and keeping an eye on the special effects company.

The Mid-Autumn Special Effects Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Mid-Autumn Film Co., Ltd., with a registered capital of RMB 12 billion and an investment of RMB 3 million so far.

There is currently 15 billion yuan in cash in the account of Zhongqiu Film Company, of which 12 billion yuan was transferred from the special effects company and 3 million yuan was transferred from Qiuxue Building under the company's name.

Today she prepared two bank drafts from the Bank of China, payable on demand, each for 30 million RMB.

Two equity transfer documents were also prepared, each for 1% of the shares of China Mid-Autumn Film Company, with He Zhongqiu's signature on them.

The transfer document was sent by He Zhongqiu from the United States.

However, this share cannot be transferred or traded, and can only be held by the two daughters, or inherited by their children with Sanjin.

At the same time, Sanjin also promised that all his children would be treated equally in the future, and each of them would receive 1% of the shares of China Mid-Autumn Film Company when they were born.

However, the 1% that the children hold are shares after the company goes public, because according to the current growth rate of the company, it should be able to go public next year or the year after.

Originally, Sanjin promised her that she and his children would get 5%, and now it is also 1%. This is her voluntary concession.

The transfer document for her own 20% equity has been signed. She had no shares before, but now she is the second largest shareholder of China Mid-Autumn Film.

All these things were discussed on the evening of the 1st.

She has already made an agreement with the parents of Tang Laosan and Bai Laosi, and the check and equity transfer certificate are the betrothal gifts.

On the evening of the 6th, the Knicks will face the Wizards at home.

At this time, Yang Xue met the parents of Tang Lao San and Bai Lao Si in the main house on the third floor of Qiu Xue Garden.

The Bai family's parents are ordinary small businessmen, Tang's father is a section-level civil servant, and Tang's mother is a mid-level manager in a foreign company. They still feel a little awkward facing the president of a leading company in China's film and television industry who controls billions of assets.

After all, as a matter of fact, Yang Xue is He Zhongqiu's fiancée, and the daughter of their two families can be considered the third party.

Yang Xue told the story frankly. The four of them were stunned and unable to react.

"This is the bride price."

She pushed over two equity transfer documents and two checks.

She was very angry, after all, her daughter had become someone else's concubine, but she couldn't say anything because the betrothal gift was indeed very large.

The betrothal gift represents sincerity, not just a casual sponsorship, which makes them feel much more comfortable.

Tang San's mother asked hesitantly: "Mr. Yang..."

"Auntie, just call me by my name, Xiaoxue is also fine." Yang Xue said with a smile.

Mother Tang nodded and said, "Xiao, Xiaoxue, are you really not going to get a marriage certificate or hold a wedding banquet with him and He Zhongqiu?"

"There's no need for him and I to lie." Yang Xue said.

Mother Tang turned around and looked at Father Tang, then at Father and Mother Bai, and the four of them fell into silence.

"The four of you can discuss it first. Either room is fine. I'll leave you for a moment." Yang Xue said and then stood up and walked out.

After she left, Tang's parents hurried to the east room, and Bai's parents went to the west room.

"Honey, what should we do?" Tang's mother asked immediately after closing the door.

Tang's father said with a sad face, "It's a done deal, what else can we do? If we let Yanyan leave now, whether she is willing or not is another matter, wouldn't it be a waste of money for He Zhongqiu?"

Mother Tang sighed and said, "I don't know what Yanyan is thinking."

Tang's father added: "Fortunately, Yang Xue and him didn't get married, so we are both girlfriends. There is no difference in status. After we have children, we will be treated the same."

"Ugh!"

Tang's mother sighed again, "As for the treatment of the child, I don't know if he will keep his word. It's not easy to sign a contract!"

After thinking for a while, Tang's father said, "How about letting Yanyan leave?"

Tang's mother said angrily: "You are stupid. It's like this now."

The two of them had seen some of the world in Shanghai, and after some discussion, they decided to accept it.

After some discussion, the Bai family decided that the matter was done and there was nothing else they could do.

When Tang Laosan heard the news, he was overjoyed. After class at noon, he met his parents and was scolded and blamed by them.

The three of them found a restaurant and asked for a private room.

"Tell me, Yanyan, if you and he have a child in the future, wouldn't that be an illegitimate child? What will we do then?" Mother Tang started to scold as soon as the door was closed.

"My husband said that the baby will be born in the United States or Hong Kong and then adopted by him." Tang Lao San said in a low voice.

Mother Tang was so angry that her face turned black. How could she call him husband so easily?

Father Tang handed the check and equity transfer document to Tang San and said, "At this point, your mother and I have no other choice. This is your own choice. Don't blame your mother and me if you suffer in the future."

Tang Lao San took the transfer letter, pushed the check back, and said, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, my husband and Sister Xue treat me very well.

Look, this is an engagement ring. Last time I went there, I bought hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry.

Also, they were originally planning to get married, but now they are not doing so, and it’s also for our sake.”

"You keep it yourself. What do your mom and I need it for?" Tang's father pushed the check back.

"I don't need it. My husband asked Sister Xue to give us $50,000 in pocket money every month." Tang Lao San pushed it back again.

The corners of Tang's parents' eyes twitched. Six hundred thousand US dollars a year, which is five million RMB in pocket money, He Zhongqiu is not stingy at all.
