Chapter 462 Buy a Basketball Team for Fun?

the next day.

Zach Braff, a young man with the dream of being a director, stayed up all night excitedly, watched the time repeatedly, and waited until 9:00 a.m., his eyes were scarlet, but he couldn’t stop being excited, and finally dialed Kevin Fei Odd phone.

"Hi~ Hello~ I'm Zach Braff, are you Mr. Kevin Feige, the president of Walter Films?"

Braff said into the phone, feeling uneasy.

"That's right, I'm Kevin Fitch. Well, you're Zach Braff?" There was a voice on the phone, and it was Kevin Fitch.

Braff was excited: "You know me?"

Kevin Feige on the other end of the phone nodded and said: "Yes. Last night, I received an email from Mr. Wald, saying that "Love in New Jersey" written by you is not bad. If possible, you You can send the script to my mailbox, and then we can make an appointment to meet and talk, how about it?"

"Okay, okay, thank you very much." Braff nodded like a pounding garlic.

Logically speaking, there are fixed procedures and principles in the script submission process.

As the president of Wald Films, Kevin Feige rarely has access to first-hand scripts.

The company's production department, screenwriting department, external public relations department...departments with certain functions, first review the external scripts, after many times of review, layer after layer of review, and after several discussions, they can go to Kevin On top of Fitch's desk.

Once it's on Kevin Feige's desk, is it OK?

Do not!

The scripts submitted to Kevin Feige's desk every day have a probability of more than 95% and are thrown into the warehouse to eat ashes.

The scripts written by only a very few, very few, very few lucky ones have a very small probability of being selected by Wald Films;

At the same time, among this small number of scripts, there are only a few scripts that will be filmed and turned into films!

Is it cumbersome?

It is indeed very cumbersome and cruel!

But it won't work without going through layers of deletion and selection!

As an existence in Hollywood today, Wald Films is second only to the Big Six in Hollywood,

The number of foreign scripts received every day is as many as dozens, and sometimes hundreds of scripts can be received in one day.

The quality can be said to be uneven!

Moreover, the vast majority of scripts have no possibility of being filmed and turned into a film, and the issue of profitability must also be considered.

Please, World Films is a business, not a charity!

"awesome!"

"I can only do what I can!"

"Wald Films receives so many scripts every day, and the review time alone can make many screenwriters despair, but I was able to get Mr. Wald's favor, which is simply wonderful!"

Braff has reason to be excited, just by being able to directly contact Kevin Fitch, it has already made countless screenwriters envious and jealous.

 …

baltimore.

It is the largest city in Maryland, the United States, and an important seaport city on the Atlantic coast. It is only more than 60 kilometers away from Washington, the capital of the United States. At the same time, it is also the birthplace of the American national anthem.

At this moment, at Baltimore International Airport, a huge Boeing 767 aircraft landed here, which attracted the attention of many people.

"Hey~ This is a private jet!"

A newly arrived ground crew exclaimed.

"Lope, don't yell. You are still too young to know that this is the famous private jet 'Lola', which is the flying car of Mr. Zhu Ke Wald, a well-known rich man in the United States." A senior Diqin laughed.

As early as a few days ago, he knew that Zhu Ke's private plane would land at Baltimore International Airport today.

"Lola" is exactly Zhu Ke's air vehicle, and its name comes from the movie "Run Lola".

The film is the first film Zhu Ke made after entering Hollywood. The name "Lola" represents the start of Zhu Ke's entertainment industry and has a very important commemorative significance.

"Boss, your itinerary today is to visit Under Armour's sporting goods company. Well, to be precise, you will stay in Baltimore for three days." Baggio Lister Jr., one of the members of the think tank, said.

The voice just fell.

Before Zhu Ke could respond, Alexander, the chief assistant who rushed to Baltimore overnight, also followed up and said: "Boss, your stay in Baltimore can only be three days at most, after all, you still have many companies that need more information Patrol."

Gale Capital, Ruskey Properties, Standard Bank of California...  

These enterprises are industries independent of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group. As the director of the President Office and chief assistant to the chairman of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, Alexander naturally has no right to ask or interfere.

But!

If it comes to Under Armour's sporting goods company, then as Zhu Ke's chief assistant, he is duty-bound.

For this, he flew overnight to Baltimore!

 …

"Hi, Juke!"

"Hi Kevin!"

As soon as he arrived at Under Armor Sporting Goods, Kevin Plank, the founder and president of Under Armour, gave Zhu Ke a big hug.

"Mr. Plank, the conference room is ready." Miss Secretary reminded.

Plank nodded, looked at Zhu Ke and said, "Zhu Ke, since the meeting room is ready, shall we talk about work first?"

"Yes, work is important! I'm here to witness the development of Under Armor!" Zhu Ke waved his hand.

Not long.

Everyone was divided into seats in the meeting room, and Alexander was in charge of the minutes of the meeting.

Under Armour, founded by former rugby star Kevin Plank in 1996, is committed to building a better and more advanced sporting goods company, and it will also become an influential sports brand in the future.

In 1998, Zhu Ke acquired more than 70% of the shares of Under Armor at a price of US$4.5 million.

In 1999 and 2000, for two consecutive years, Zhu Ke made several additional investments, owning 91% of the shares of Under Armour, turning it into a subsidiary of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group.

Founder Kevin Plank, although his shares in Under Armor are only in single digits now, he is still very satisfied.

Ever since Under Armor Sporting Goods Company had Zhu Ke as its big backer, it has been doing well in recent years.

"As of now, magazines such as Fortune and Finance, as well as professional investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan, have given us an estimated value of Under Armor as high as US$100 million."

"In just a few years, we have developed to this stage, and we are proud!"

"At the same time, on the basis of developing rugby products, we have officially started sports products for basketball, football and other sports in the middle of 2000. In the future, we have not yet relied on the advantages of sports brands to create sweaters and ordinary T-shirts. ,Sweatpants......."

"Baltimore, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Salt Lake City and other major cities, since the end of 1999, we have also started to build direct-sale stores. It is estimated that by the end of 2001, the number of direct-sale stores alone will reach 30; franchise stores The number reached 100."

 …

Hearing these data, Zhu Ke couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Under Armor Sports Goods Co., Ltd. has transformed from a pure rugby product provider to a designer and supplier of rugby, football, basketball, tennis and other sports products. This is definitely a huge progress.

Sweater, regular T-shirt, sweatpants, shoes...

These common clothes are the growth point of Under Armor's future profit!

Zhu Ke looked at Plank and asked: "Kevin, in terms of football, I have a Manchester City club in England, so if I buy an NBA basketball team, will it bring better benefits to the company?"

"Buy an NBA basketball team?!"

Plank looked at Zhu Ke in horror, and swallowed a mouthful of spit: "Man, you are not kidding me, are you?"

It's unbelievable!

Zhu Ke said with a smile: "Kevin, I just made 1.3 billion US dollars in the Japanese financial market a few days ago, don't you know? Buying an NBA basketball team is very easy!"

Planck: "...."

I do not know!

He was still in the hospital yesterday. No way, the old problem left over from his days as an athlete.

Zhu Ke's Dafeng Capital raised 1.3 billion US dollars a day, he really didn't know!

"Nimma, are rich people's ways so wild?!"

The second update of "" is here.
