Chapter 298: Winner in Life
Yang Mo dialed four times before Lu Xueman's busy phone was finally connected.
After the call was connected, Yang Mo said very concisely: "What's the matter with playing 007 James Bond ? How come I don't know anything about it?"
"This is the company's decision. As the boss of the company, you have no right to reject a decision that can enable the company to achieve leapfrog development." Lu Xueman on the other end spoke in a businesslike tone.
"I'm the boss, don't I have the power to veto?" Yang Mo said speechlessly. What's going on? The boss is actually being dominated by his subordinates? Is this reasonable?
"No." Lu Xueman on the other end still answered in a serious tone: "According to the contract signed between the company and me, I have the right to decide everything that is beneficial to the company. Besides, don't you think being James Bond is a very cool thing?"
"But I am Chinese and James Bond is British." Yang Mo argued very hard. He also felt that it was a shitty thing to play a British character with his skin color.
"This is not a realistic documentary, OK?" Lu Xueman said unhappily, "Do you know that once we form an alliance , we will get all the benefits we want from this old Hollywood company. I have decided to increase my stake in MGM because... this giant elephant will never collapse so easily. Especially with the continuous influx of Chinese funds, we can even use Chinese funds to achieve the goal of fully controlling MGM."
"You want to get something for nothing again?" Yang Mo asked in surprise. In fact, he was already used to it. This Lu Xueman had done this more than once.
"This is not called getting something for nothing, this is called a game of capital. Now we are the middlemen, and the capital is transferred from our left hand to our right hand. What bankers love to do most is to take advantage of the funds, and what we have to do is to make this fund bigger and stronger, and then share the biggest piece of the pie." Lu Xueman said with great confidence.
"Okay." When it comes to economic issues, Yang Mo can only surrender. He can only say helplessly: "Just don't get into any lawsuits."
"Don't worry. They will thank me to each other. This is a win-win business. There won't be any disputes." Lu Xueman said with great confidence.
"Okay, let's get back to the point." Yang Mo immediately changed the subject and asked with particular interest, "How much is the salary offered by MGM?"
"Twenty million US dollars and 10% of the box office dividends." Before Yang Mo could even feel happy, Lu Xueman's words made her feel as if she was falling into an ice cave: "But, I have included your salary in the film's investment, and added tens of millions of US dollars in investment."
"Oh my God, you actually took money out of your own pocket?" Yang Mo on the other end couldn't accept Lu Xueman's behavior of working hard and paying for it, so he expressed his shock immediately.
Lu Xueman laughed when she heard this, and then said, "You are really a stingy person. Let me tell you, these tens of millions can at least bring us 1.5 billion US dollars. And its potential impact cannot be measured in money. Do you think I will do business at a loss?"
Yang Mo was embarrassed by Lu Xueman's laughter. Knowing he was in the wrong, he could only say angrily, "Laugh, if you laugh again, I will run to New York and strip you naked and kill you right there."
Lu Xueman was not angry at Yang Mo's blatant teasing. Instead, she smiled and responded, "Come on, come over here. But I have to tell you that I'm in Los Angeles, not New York."
"Hey, you still dare to be arrogant in front of your husband. Just wait, when I see you one day, I will fuck you so hard that you can't get out of the bed." Yang Mo said viciously.
"I'm not afraid of you." Lu Xueman on the other end actually said in a coquettish tone like a little girl.
This coquettish voice was no less than a Viagra pill for Yang Mo. It was so powerful that it made his little brother stand up. If Lu Xueman was in front of him, he would definitely take her down without hesitation . However, she was not there now. He could only hold back the desire in his heart over the phone and said something to quench his thirst: "Wait and see how your husband will deal with you."
"Okay, I'll wait." Lu Xueman said this with a sweet smile and hung up the phone.
After Lu Xueman hung up the phone, Yang Mo suddenly felt the fire of desire burning in his heart, and he couldn't control himself at all.
Although Lu Xueman didn't say any provocative words to him, those two words were enough to make his lust surge. Even if Christine took off all her clothes in front of him, she couldn't make him reach this point.
After all, Yang Mo loves Lu Xueman more. Lu Xueman is cold and independent. A pure girl smiling at you will definitely feel better than a slut flirting with you. Of course, Christine is not a slut, she is just crazy in Yang Mo's bed, and it is normal to ask for five or six times a night.
Just when Yang Mo's desire was rising and he had no idea how to deal with it, his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Isaiah Thomas calling. He called Yang Mo almost every two or three days. He was eager to bring Yang Mo to the Big Apple, help him change his bad image, and build New York into an absolutely strong team with Yang Mo as the core.
After seeing the name, Yang Mo hesitated for a moment, but still pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Super Yang, I'm Isaiah. Have you had dinner?" Thomas started the conversation enthusiastically: "I heard that you became the new 007 James Bond. Congratulations."
Yang Mo thought that Isaiah Thomas's enthusiasm was just an opening statement to embellish his real question, so he said directly: "Just say what you want to say tonight. I don't like the roundabout way of talking."
"Well, okay." Isaiah Thomas nodded heavily. He didn't particularly like beating around the bush, so he continued straightforwardly: "I've told you a few times before that as long as you come here, not only will you have the highest salary, but the team will also build you as the core. Even if we trade for superstars in the future, you will still be the only core. All transactions will be carried out after your approval, and this can be written into the contract. Secondly, what I want to say tonight is that I have come to Miami. If you need me, I can be your personal coach at any time. I will definitely do my best to hone all your technical moves and help you improve more on the court."
"Will you be my personal trainer?" Yang Mo frowned and suddenly felt a strong interest.
"Yes, I will be your coach." Isaiah Thomas on the other side nodded and said very affirmatively.
"But aren't you afraid that I will learn your skills and not go to New York?" Yang Mo said with a smile.
"You are not that kind of person." Isaiah Thomas said very confidently: "I believe in Super Yang's character, and I believe even more that you will definitely not stay in Miami Beach next season. I carefully studied your last game. You have been hiding your edge. You are willing to be Wade's supporting role, but... you are a natural protagonist. You should have a sky that belongs to you alone, and I can provide you with this sky."
"It sounds very tempting, but I can't give you any answer now." Yang Mo smiled and shook his head, then said: "Where are you? Do you want me to pick you up?"
"I'm at the Miami airport, and I've been waiting for you to say this," Isaiah Thomas said with a smile.
"Okay, wait there, I'll pick you up right away." Yang Mo hung up the phone and walked out. At this time, Lu's mother came out and asked, "Xiao Yang, where are you going so late?"
Lu's mother has been living in Yang Mo's villa, carefully looking after Yang Mo every day. In addition to taking care of his diet and daily life, she also monitors whether he has any signs of cheating, fearing that Yang Mo, a good son-in-law, will do something to let her daughter down. In response, Yang Mo could only smile bitterly.
"Aunt, I'm going to pick up my basketball coach and will be back soon." Yang Mo quickly explained to him.
"Oh, is that so?" Mother Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "Then go quickly and drive carefully!"
After hearing this, Yang Mo smiled bitterly, waved at her, quickly went to the garage, drove a car out, and drove straight to the airport. He soon found Isaiah Thomas and brought him back.
As soon as he came back and found a room for him, he immediately handed Yang Mo a CD and said, "This is the videotape I recorded recently for your technical style. I didn't plan to come here in person, but New York gave me time, so I came here to teach you in person. But this thing is still useful. You can watch it first. When I teach you in person, you will improve faster."
Yang Mo took the CD and was somewhat touched. At the same time, she asked incredulously, "You 've given so much to me, aren't you really afraid that I won't choose the New York Knicks in the end?"
"I'm not afraid. Because New York is your best choice. There is no city more suitable for you than New York, and there is no team more suitable for you than the Knicks." Isaiah Thomas said very confidently.
After hearing this, Yang Mo smiled slightly and said slowly: "In fact, your old rival Michael Jordan has also been pursuing me. He is even willing to send the entire basketball team for me."
"Come on." Isaiah Thomas shook his head and said with great disdain: "I may not be his opponent in playing basketball, but as a manager, he is worse than me. And most importantly, Charlotte is a small city and has no money. They can't provide you with strong support like New York. We can assure you that as long as you join, we will definitely find two or three superstars to assist you within three years. As long as we can win the championship, luxury tax will definitely not be a problem. Michael Jordan doesn't have the capital for such generosity."
Isaiah Thomas is indeed Jordan's lifelong enemy. Even though they haven't played basketball for nearly ten or twenty years, there is still a strong hostility in his words.
Yang Mo couldn't help but smile with her hands covering her mouth, and said, "You have a good rest, I'm going back to watch the video tape, and I'll come to see you tomorrow", and then quickly walked out of the room.
