Chapter 349: Diamond Body
Two days later, Forbes released the major lists.
He Zhongqiu also ranked first in annual income in the global sports industry in 2005 and first on the list of the world's top 100 celebrities.
In 2005, his annual income reached $8.5 million.
But that's nothing, he also made it onto the 2005 Forbes Global Billionaires List, ranking 11.5rd with assets of $583 billion.
No. 584 is Richard Li, the son of Hong Kong's Li Chaoren. Li Chaoren ranks 130st with assets of US$21 billion.
In addition, there are only two mainland billionaires with a higher net worth than He Zhongqiu, Rong Zhi at No. 413 and Huang Guangyu at No. 437, with net worths of US$16 billion and US$15 billion respectively.
Although he wanted to keep a low profile during this period, he had no choice but to let go of the fact that he had once again become a global sensation thanks to his appearance on the rich list.
At the end of March, the Knicks had only lost one game this month, to the Spurs, with a record of 3 wins and 63 losses.
There are still 4 games in April. If we want to play 11 games, we must win at least 70 and lose at most 7.
On the morning of April Fool's Day, the 1st, Yang Xue called and told him that the integration plan of the group company had come out.
"Sister Xue, please follow the plan."
He Zhongqiu saw the plan sent by Yang Xue in his mailbox, took a look at it, and found no problem.
"Sanjin, I plan to separate Qiuxue Building from the film company and put it under the name of the real estate company."
"Row."
"Also, I plan to reorganize the film company in the future. Right now, there are too many things to do in the film company, and there are too many departments, so it's hard to manage."
"How to change?"
“We separated several major businesses into subsidiaries and established five major subsidiaries, namely the film and television company, the cultural and sports agency company, the special effects company, the cinema company, and the media company.
Separate the cultural and sports company from the agency department. If you want to develop your own media, then just set up a separate company."
"I think it's okay."
On the evening of the 2nd, Frank Zhang came from Los Angeles and made it in time for dinner.
"Boss, the company has recently signed several good NBA players, as well as some from other sports leagues, as well as seven or eight second- and third-tier Hollywood actors. Oh, and there are also a few boxers. They are doing well."
"As for actors, you should cooperate with Ross and give them more opportunities. As for other industries, it depends on your own ability."
"Don't worry, Boss. With your reputation and my ability, there will be no problem."
"So you're coming today?"
"The negotiations with Da Ke are almost done. He is demanding 30% of the PPV revenue..."
"Thirty percent?"
"Well, after deducting the TV station's 15% share, they want %, which is % of the total revenue."
“Is he qualified to get such a high salary?”
"Based on his PPV sales record, he certainly doesn't qualify."
"You agreed?"
"How is that possible? The WBO strongly supports you to fight him, so this championship match is a mandatory match. If he doesn't fight, the WBO will strip him of his world title. He has to fight unless he voluntarily gives up the title."
"So how much?"
"12%, that is 6% of the total PPV revenue, and you get 44%."
"Not bad. What about other aspects?"
"The company will work with Arum and Don King to promote the fight, with a 433:2: investment ratio, and will invest $ million to promote the fight."
"The company invested 8000 million?"
"Yes, Arum and Don King each got 6000 million. Boss's appearance fee is 8000 million, the highest in history, and Klopp's is 2000 million. The bonus pool is 6000 million US dollars."
"1.4 million? Haha!"
He Zhongqiu already regarded the prize pool as his own, and as the iron shirt was getting closer to completion, he never thought about losing.
"Arum and Don King were only willing to pay 5000 million for the appearance fee, but I think with your influence, it will greatly reduce the publicity funds, so I have to take 8000 million US dollars for the appearance fee.
We asked them to increase the promotion quota if they did not agree. They were unwilling to reduce the quota, so they had no choice but to agree. "
"You did a good job. If you win, I'll give you a big red envelope of 2 million."
"Haha, Boss, it's a deal."
"When did I break my promise?"
“It’s so cool to work with Boss!”
"Frank, what I'm worried about now is that after I beat Da Ke, no one will be willing to fight me anymore. It's a bit lonely to be invincible!"
"Well, Boss, why don't you hold back and fight him for a few more rounds? We can make more money from this, one or two hundred million dollars each time!"
"No, that's cheating, isn't it? I'm He Zhongqiu, a real gentleman... but one match costs 100 million or 200 million US dollars, and ten matches costs 100 million or 200 million US dollars. Everything is about money. How about giving it a break?"
"Yes, Boss, the truth is that everything is about money."
Next, the regular season continued, and at the same time, the establishment of He Zhongqiu's group company gradually took shape.
The He Group has six major subsidiaries with a total investment of US$11 billion, or approximately RMB 90 billion, and current assets of RMB 115 billion. He Zhongqiu serves as chairman and group chairman, and Yang Xue serves as chief executive officer, or CEO.
He's Media Company, a holding subsidiary of the group, has a total investment of RMB 37 billion and a current market value of RMB 44 billion. Yang Xue is the chairman of the board.
Previously, Yang Xue and Tang Yan and Bai Bingbing owned 20% and 1% of the film company's shares respectively. Now, after adjustments, they own 21.6% and 1.08% of the media company respectively, and the market value remains unchanged.
He's Real Estate Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the group, has a total investment of RMB 15 billion and a current market value of RMB 20 billion. Liu Xingguo serves as the general manager.
He's Martial Arts School, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the group, has invested US$3 million and is currently expanding. Xia Song is the general manager.
Hayes Films, Inc., a subsidiary of the group, has a total investment of US$1.5 million and current assets of US$2.1 million. Ross Lewis is the general manager.
American Hayes Sports Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the group, has invested US$0.1 million and currently has assets of US$1.3 million. Frank Zhang is the general manager.
He’s Security Company has assets of US$0.2 million and is headed by Zhang Qianning as its general manager.
Yang Xue acted quickly and reorganized the China Mid-Autumn Film and Television Company into the He Media Company, which has five major subsidiaries.
He's Film and Television Co., Ltd. has assets of 20 billion and Yang Xue is the general manager.
He’s Special Effects Company has assets of 12 billion and Lin Tianhua is the general manager.
He’s Cinema Line Company has assets of 10 billion and Zhou Mingcheng is the general manager.
He's Media Company has assets of 1 million and is headed by Wu Yixin as general manager.
He’s Sports and Culture Agency has assets of 1 million and Lin Xue is the general manager.
At the end of March, that night, He Zhongqiu practiced the iron shirt for an hour and finally completed it.
Iron Shirt: King Kong Body
Diamond Body: Qi and blood are increased to the natural limit of 150, physical fitness is increased to the ordinary person's limit of 100, tendons and bones +10, and strength breaks through to the natural limit.
Talents of Diamond Body: 1. The body is like diamond, incorruptible and invincible.
2. The circulation of Qi and blood can be controlled freely, which can strengthen the internal organs, increase resistance, collect Qi and blood, reduce Qi and blood consumption, and increase lifespan.
"hey-hey!"
He Zhongqiu just smiled.
Health +20, full level 150.
Physical fitness +2, maximum level 100.
Strength +3, level 101.
Bones and muscles improved by +10, level 140.
This improvement is too huge. The physical fitness is at the maximum level, the strength is off the charts, especially the qi and blood, which have reached the limit that cannot be improved any further, and there is also a talent for controlling qi and blood.
"I wonder if this can control the qi and blood of specific organs? Let's try it."
"Bingbing, come on, let's go swimming. I'll drive a little this time."
After trying it, they found that they could really control it. The second brother actually refined the golden cudgel.
"Honey, are you having a problem? It's over in an hour? It's over, it's over. How am I going to explain this to Sister Xue when she comes back?"
He Zhongqiu felt good, but Bai Bingbing was anxious.
"Bingbing, you really don't know what's good for you! Come, let's swim for a while longer. This time I'll go big."
Soon, he let Bai Bingbing know that she had said something stupid.
On April 4, the boxing promotion team composed of Frank Zhang, Arum and Don King invited a large number of media and officially signed a contract with Klitschko's team at the press conference.
The boxing match date is July 7st.
The boxing match will be held at the Sands Art Center in Las Vegas.
The North American TV broadcaster, ESPN, paid a copyright fee of up to $1 million.
In other words, half of the $2 million in promotional funds can be recovered from the North American television rights alone.
Of course, this is gross income, and a large amount of tax needs to be paid.
Once the boxing match news is announced, the promotion team will also start promoting it.
The $2 million in promotional funds, He Zhongqiu's appearance fee of $8000 million, and He Zhongqiu's influence immediately made this boxing match a sporting event that attracted worldwide attention.
"This is the age of the Internet. I really can't keep a low profile!"
He Zhongqiu surfs the Internet and can see news about him wherever he goes. The mainstream media's ban on him on the front page seems to be of no use.
On April 4, before the end of the regular season, Varejao returned.
On April 4, the Knicks defeated the Nets away and the regular season ended.
4月份10胜1负,客场输给了活塞,尼克斯本赛季打出73胜9负的战绩,超越了95/96赛季的公牛。
The top eight teams in the Eastern Conference regular season are the Knicks, the Pistons with 64 wins, the Heat with 52 wins, the Cavaliers with 50 wins, the Nets with 49 wins, the Wizards with 42 wins, the Pacers with 41 wins and the Bulls.
The top eight teams in the Eastern Conference playoffs remain unchanged, with the first-round matchups being the Knicks vs. Bulls, the Pistons vs. Pacers, the Heat vs. Wizards, and the Cavaliers vs. Nets.
The winners of the first and fourth groups, and the winners of the second and third groups, will both advance.
The top eight teams in the Western Conference regular season are the Spurs with 63 wins, the Mavericks with 60 wins, the Grizzlies with 49 wins, the Clippers with 47 wins, the Suns and Lakers with 45 wins, and the Kings and Nuggets with 44 wins.
There have been some changes in the top eight teams in the Western Conference playoffs, as the top three are all Southwest Conference teams, so the Mavericks and Grizzlies automatically dropped to fourth and fifth in the Eastern Conference playoffs, with the second and third places being taken by the Clippers and Nuggets.
The top eight teams in the Western Conference playoffs are the Spurs, Clippers, Nuggets, Mavericks, Grizzlies, Suns, Lakers, and Kings.
The Nuggets, who ranked eighth in the Western Conference regular season, are the champions of the Northwest Division. Because of the rules, they jumped to third place in the Western Conference playoffs.
The first round of the Western Conference playoffs will see the Spurs vs. Kings, the Clippers vs. Lakers, the Nuggets vs. Suns, and the Mavericks vs. Grizzlies.
"Yao, second to last in the Western Conference, 30 wins, condolences!"
"Hold your head! Damn it!"
"Ha ha……"
Yao Ming is in a very depressed mood. He has made the playoffs twice in four seasons, but was eliminated in the first round each time. This year's record is even more disgraceful.
As the top pick, his performance is totally incomparable to that of the undrafted player He Zhongqiu, which is quite exciting.
He Zhongqiu hung up the phone and picked up his own statistics table to look at it.
This season he took one game off and played in 81 games, averaging 36.5 minutes per game, a slight increase from last season due to Varejao's injury.
场均37.3分13.8篮板1.5助攻1.8抢断4.2盖帽2.5失误2.7犯规,正面数据全部略有上涨,负面数据略有下降。
He averaged 23.5 of 14.2 shots per game, with a shooting percentage of 60.4%, a slight increase.
He averaged 9.8 of 8.9 free throws per game, with a free throw percentage of 90.8%, a slight increase.
其中篮下的进攻占比和命中率分别是42%和76%,近投分别是25%和47.5%,中投是33%和46.5%。
The shooting percentages have all improved, with attacks at the basket increasing by two percentage points and mid-range shots decreasing by two percentage points compared to last season.
Ewing smiled and said, "Wolverine, congratulations, you won the rebounding title for the first time, and you won the scoring title and the blocked shot title for the same time.
By the way, Steve, you have won the assists title for the second consecutive year. Our team has four of the five biggest statistical leaders, well done!"
"Well, our team is still lacking a steal king." He Zhongqiu said with a smile.
"Haha..." There was laughter in the locker room.
Ewing said: "The steals leader is Elvis Gerald Wallace, with 2.5 times. But his defensive efficiency value is only 100, Wolverine you are 90, first in the league."
"How much is Ben Wallace?" He Zhongqiu asked immediately.
"His peak is past. This year he's 95. His best defensive performance was in the 03/04 season, when he was 87, and in the 02/03 season he was 90," Ewing said.
"So, my defense is still not as good as his?"
He Zhongqiu was a little surprised that his defense this season was stronger than last season.
"No, it's because he only has defense and rebounding, but you are different, your main focus is on offense," Ewing said.
He Zhongqiu nodded, and Ewing said, "You have a chance to compete for this year's DPOY."
He Zhongqiu smiled. There are not many people who won the scoring title and DPOY in the same season. There is only one in the history of the league, the God of Basketball Michael Jordan.
Another person who won the scoring title and DPOY is David Robinson, but he did not win them in the same season.
Ewing said: "The first round of the series starts on the 22nd, and we are number 22. Tomorrow, the 20th, we will have a day off, and we will return to the team on the 21st. We will have a tactical meeting in the morning and a two-hour practice session in the afternoon. Don't be late."
