Chapter 393: Recruitment of Taishan Society
Lakers post-game press conference.

"Coach Jackson, where do you think the Lakers lost tonight?" asked a Los Angeles Times reporter.

"Our defense against the Wolverines was the main reason for our loss," said Phil Jackson.

Having said that, he did not stop but continued talking. It was obvious that he had a lot to say.

"I don't think it's the defensive tactics that are wrong. We have tried many defensive tactics, but there is no obvious effect."

"The Wolverines can use their strength, flexibility, speed and other qualities to easily get to the basket when they are double-teamed in advance."

"Even Shaq, I mean Shaq in his prime, the 140-pound big Shark who could run fast breaks, couldn't do that."

"And what's even scarier is that he played like this the whole game. It's like there's no limit to his stamina. It's horrible and very frustrating."

"Facing such an opponent, I can only say that the reason we lost tonight's game was not because we were not good enough, but because our opponent... was a bug."

"Kobe, what do you think of tonight's game?" the reporter turned around and asked Kobe again.

Kobe had no expression on his face, was silent, and did not speak immediately.

His silence made the scene quiet and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

After seven or eight seconds, he spoke in a slightly hoarse voice: "Our opponents are very strong, very strong, but this cannot defeat our confidence.

No matter how strong Wolverine is, even if he is a bug on the basketball court, we should have a good fight with him, a series.

Yes, no one can beat us easily. The Knicks want to step over our bodies to complete the fourth consecutive championship, and they will definitely be covered with scars. "

The next reporter was from the New York Times. He asked Yao Min, "Yao, what do you think of the Lakers' performance tonight? And the performance of your opponents?"

Yao Min thought and said: "It's all good, but like Phil Jackson said, we met a very scary opponent.

But we will also be like Kobe said, we will not let our confidence disappear, we will not lose confidence because of the strength of the opponent. "

Across from the No. 1 News Hall, a reporter asked, "Wolverine, do you think the Knicks will be able to complete a four-round sweep and win the championship like they did last year?"

"We should have that confidence." He Zhongqiu said without hesitation.

"Why?" the reporter demanded.

"Because we have that strength." He Zhongqiu said very bluntly.

The next questioner was from a Miami Heat reporter, who asked, "Wolverine, Disney and Marvel are rebooting the Marvel Universe. Congratulations to the King of Condor Heroes crew, they're going to start filming tomorrow. Will you go to Los Angeles to attend the opening ceremony?"

"will not."

He Zhongqiu shook his head and reminded, "Sorry, sir, this is an NBA press conference, not a Disney or Marvel press conference. Please pay attention to the content of the questions."

"So will you participate in track and field events during the offseason?" the reporter immediately changed the question.

He Zhongqiu said helplessly: "Sir, which department are you a reporter for? Entertainment? Track and field? Aren't you an NBA reporter?"

The reporter smiled and said, "Wolverine, like you, I do everything."

“Haha…” The whole place burst into laughter.

The time has come to September 6th.

At 9 am in Hollywood, the crew of "He Tianwang" officially started filming.

Marvel invested a huge amount of money in this movie, with a budget of $3 million, which is a full $1 million more than the previous plan. This shows how determined and confident Disney and Marvel are.

This is also the confidence that He Zhongqiu's movies give them. A pure Chinese-language film like "White Bone World" can earn more than 6 million US dollars at the box office in the United States and million US dollars worldwide. They believe that King He will be successful and will successfully activate Marvel.

He Zhongqiu's salary is 3000 million US dollars, plus 20% of the global box office share (after deducting the theater share and publicity and promotion costs, taxes, and insurance costs), and 20% of the peripheral share.

In addition, the American Mid-Autumn Film Company invested 9000 million US dollars, 30% of the investment amount, which is also the company's largest investment in the film.

The comic copyright of He Tianwang will share 3% of the global box office and peripheral profits, and He Zhongqiu and his company will account for 53% of the profits.

However, although the profits exceed those of Marvel, the film copyright still belongs to Marvel. It is just that Mid-Autumn Films of the United States will participate in the production but not the distribution.

In addition, the heroine is Gierse Bundchen, the world's number one supermodel.

Marvel chose Bundchen mainly because of her height, fame, and of course, her beauty.

With a height of 180 cm, she is the tallest actress Hollywood can find. Charlize Theron was chosen for Captain Toad 2 because of her height, which is also 180 cm.

There was no team training scheduled for that day. He Zhongqiu did an hour of explosive power training at home in the morning and then went to New York University to do an hour of cornering technique training.

Just after arriving home, Yang Xue heard the noise and came out of her study on the second floor and said, "Sanjin, I forgot to tell you last night. The investment fund company called and said that Marvel has transferred the royalties from the second issue of He Tianwang and Super Wolverine comics."

"How much in total?" He Zhongqiu asked casually.

"US$1.6 million. The sales of the second phase are % better than the first phase." Yang Xue said with a smile.

"It seems that the reserves of these two gold mines are quite good." He Zhongqiu said with a smile.

"With at least 15 issues, you should be able to earn $30 billion in royalties." Yang Xue smiled and raised three fingers.

It was time for lunch, so she went to the nursery next door. Two nannies were teasing He Xue and He Yang and talking to them, while one was making milk.

Yang Xue breastfed for half a month, but the twins ate too much and needed milk. Plus, she was eager to get back to work, so she stopped breastfeeding after half a month.

He Zhongqiu also came up and picked up He Xue.

He Xue is his first child. Although they are twins, born only twenty minutes apart, he is a little partial to her and likes He Xue more.

Yang Xue picked up He Yang, she liked this one more.

"I weighed myself yesterday. Xiaoxue weighed 6.2 kg, and gained 70 kg in 2.2 days. Yangyang weighed 6.05 kg, and gained 2.3 kg. She is slowly catching up with her sister." "What about your height?"

"Xiaoxue is 72 cm tall and Yangyang is 68 cm tall. Weighing kg, Xiaoxue won't have inherited your physique, right?" Yang Xue said worriedly.

"It shouldn't be possible, right?"

He Zhongqiu wanted to scratch his head. He also didn't want his daughter to have the same physique as him. She definitely shouldn't be taller than 180 cm. 175 cm would be the best.

It doesn’t matter to my son. If he grows taller, he can play basketball. If he grows shorter, he can become an actor. If he has a high IQ, he can study science. If he has a low IQ, he can study art.

Yang Xue said: "There are many wealthy people in China now. Many of my classmates in the Qinghua CEO Class have sent their children to Europe and the United States to study art, saying that it is to cultivate their aristocratic temperament.

Sanjin, do you think Xiaoxue should also learn art in the future? There are more and more interest classes in Yanjing now, such as piano classes. There are many of them. "

He Zhongqiu was stunned. Only people with low IQs go to study art. Our He Sanjin’s IQ is not low either. How can his daughter’s IQ not be high?

He immediately shook his head and said, "No, don't learn from those people. What art are you learning? What aristocratic temperament? It's all bullshit.

I think their children have low IQs and cannot get into good universities in China, so they go abroad to study art."

"Ha ha……"

Yang Xue and the three nannies all laughed.

He Zhongqiu said seriously: "My child, don't take interest classes in the future. What's the point of learning piano and other things?

If you really want to listen to piano, just hire a pianist to play it at home every day. Is it necessary to learn it yourself? It's a waste of time."

Yang Xue said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I won't go to the interest class."

At this point, she suddenly remembered something and said, "Some time ago, someone invited us to join a business organization, the Taishan Association. Sanjin, have you heard of the Taishan Association?"

"No, what do you do?" He Zhongqiu shook his head.

"It was organized by a group of the richest people in the country. Wang Jianning, Liu Zhuanzhi, and Ali's boss Ma are all in it." Yang Xue said.

He Zhongqiu thought for a moment and said, "Are there people working in real estate, computer assembly, or the Internet who are engaged in industry? Is real estate considered an industry?"

Yang Xue said: "Industry mainly refers to the secondary industry, mainly manufacturing. Real estate belongs to the secondary industry and can also be considered industry.

But now, as the price of domestic real estate continues to rise, the degree of financial participation is getting greater and greater, most of the investment is financial investment, and the financial attributes are becoming more and more prominent. It is more of a financial industry than a real industry, and it cannot be considered a real industry.

From another perspective, only the construction industry can be considered as an industry, while real estate companies belong to the investment industry and are not considered as industries.

Of course, the broad real estate industry also includes the construction industry, which can also be regarded as an industry.

However, from a practical point of view, houses can only be considered as real economy when they are used for living. They are not considered as real economy when they are used for speculation and investment.

I think that as housing prices continue to rise, the real estate industry will become increasingly distant from real industry. When people buy houses mainly for investment rather than for living, the real estate industry will completely evolve into an investment industry.

So basically, the real estate industry is linked to the real economy. It can barely be considered a semi-real economy now, but it will definitely not be a real economy in the future.”

She thought about it for a moment and said in surprise, "None of those people are really engaged in industry, not even one of them is engaged in manufacturing. Zhongqiu, what do you think of?"

He Zhongqiu said thoughtfully: "I have seen and heard a lot in the past few years in the United States. I know that the United States is de-industrializing. Factories are either closing down or moving overseas. The country is vigorously developing the financial industry. Now the American elites are engaged in capital operations.

I don’t know whether this transformation in the United States is good or bad, but I do know one thing: capital operation creates something out of nothing and it sucks blood from the real economy. Moreover, capital has no morals.

According to what you said, none of the people in the Taishan Association are engaged in industry. They should be a business organization specializing in capital operations. The values ​​of these people are somewhat similar to those of the current elite class in the United States. "

Having said this, he did not say any more.

Yang Xue blinked. There were three nannies around her, so she didn't ask any further questions.

He Zhongqiu said: "Sister Xue, we should run our own business and not get involved with them. What should we respect them for?"

"Keep your distance." Yang Xue said with a smile.

He Zhongqiu smiled and nodded, then said with some regret: "None of the companies under our group has any real industry.

Sister Xue, I really want to get involved in industry, whether it is high-tech industry or manufacturing industry, but unfortunately I don’t understand it.”

Yang Xue said: "Let's take it slow in the future. If there is a chance, we can also invest in other people's industrial companies and use chickens to hatch eggs. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it yourself, as long as the boss knows how to use people.

Didn’t you say that American industries are moving overseas? If we have the chance, we can buy a manufacturing company with potential and move it back to the country to develop it ourselves.”

He Zhongqiu nodded and said, “Sister Xue, I will use the newly acquired $1.6 million to develop my personal sports goods company first.

If I win again next year, I may choose to retire from the NBA after the Olympics and focus on track and field for a few years.

It’s better to start a sporting goods company as soon as possible while my influence is still there.”

"Are you worried that your influence will decrease if you stop playing basketball?" Yang Xue asked.

He Zhongqiu said: "It's possible."

Yang Xue thought for a moment and said, "The basketball department of Li Lin's company has been disbanded, and several other domestic sports brands have also stopped their basketball projects. They can't compete with your brand of shoes.

Then I will send someone to talk to them immediately, buy the basketball shoe technology of these companies, recruit some relevant researchers, accumulate technology, and establish our own R&D department. "

"can."

He Zhongqiu said: "There are also some foreign brands, and they are big brands, but they have been squeezed out by Nike, Adidas and AND1 in recent years, and some have already gone bankrupt.

Sister Xue, you can buy them for the technical aspect, the domestic sneaker technology is still not good enough.”

"Okay." Yang Xue nodded.
