Witness of the film and television world

Chapter 137 Kidnapping Alliance
After a lunch cooked by Ashley Jermaine, Peyton left a high mark.

This is a woman who makes people feel relaxed.

After that, Payton called the person in charge of the production company to provide him with a "lucrative" contract, planning to launch her as the vase heroine of the Merry Agent series.

Ashley Jermaine couldn't help being overjoyed, kissing and hugging Peyton constantly.

"thank you, sir!"

For this, Peyton smiled slightly: "I hope you can give me more surprises."

Of course, all of this was originally promised in advance, and Peyton has simply promised now, saying that he is by no means a Liu Bang-style cruel person who lifts his pants and refuses to recognize anyone.

In fact, Peyton can certainly give more, and she deserves more.

But there is no need, everything must have a natural process.

It's too easy to get, but I don't know how to cherish it, and I don't know how to be satisfied!

Peyton hates being greedy, unless the greedy person is himself!
……

"Boss, we have reached an agreement with the Stone Nuo shoe processing factory for capital investment, and we will occupy 200% of the shares with a capital investment of 80 million."

Peyton nodded, and the Stone Nuo shoe industry is the company of Milmi, whom he met at Mr. Chris's banquet before.

In order to supplement the field of clothing, Payton will inevitably lay out the footwear industry next.

Ordinary people are more willing to be satisfied with shoes than luxury clothes.

Even in his previous life, he had seen a girl who worked hard for several nights in a massage parlor just to buy a pair of AJs.

One time, out of curiosity, he asked specifically, in his memory, don't girls prefer brand-name bags or even other luxury bags?

However, the answer he got made him sigh—there really is love in the world.

"My boyfriend is celebrating his birthday soon, and I want to give him a pair of Air Jordans."

With a simple sentence, Peyton couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion for that fellow who had never met.

Of course, this is just a joke.

(He has never been to that kind of place in his last life, and what he said just now is just a story of a reader friend of his.)
The trendy shoe culture reflected in this is indeed worthy of the attention of capitalists.

This is a market worthy of hype, and no one pays attention to it for the time being!

Even apart from the exaggeration of trendy shoe culture, the shoes themselves are inseparable from decent people. Everyone must have a pair of their own shoes.

(Of course, if you are a barefoot fan, I didn’t mention it. But I can recommend the stockings of the Snow Country series, which are definitely exclusive to you.”

So when he met Milmi before and learned about his shoe factory, Payton paid attention and left his contact information.

For this, it's actually a win-win.

Stonno Shoes mainly produces sports shoes, but under the influence of Converse, the performance of the shoe factory in Miami is very average, and it has been trapped in Alabama, and even the local market has gradually shrunk.

Even before the war, many companies in Alabama connected with the military and greatly developed their own value, such as the steel company in Ossana’s home.

However, the existence of Converse also made this expectation of Stone Nuo Shoes fall through.

During the Second World War, with its high quality, Converse also entered the production of federal munitions, producing some boots, headgear, foot protectors and so on for various purposes.

The competition of Stone Nuo shoe industry suffered a crushing defeat, and the market continued to shrink.

Before he took the initiative to make friends with Payton, he actually wanted to use Sun's sales network to improve this situation as much as possible.

Now that it is acquired, it can naturally achieve the same effect.

Of course, the more important reason is that Miermi himself is also a farmer. The so-called shoe processing factory is just to digest his agricultural crops.

As long as Payton meets his material orders, the shoe company is not an inescapable existence for him.

This may be the general situation in Alabama. The transition from agriculture to industry is difficult to complete without a large-scale tilt of the economy. Most factory owners' factories serve their own plantations.

Of course, the heavy military industry greatly promoted by the war is not considered for the time being.

"Contact Mr. Brown for me."

"Yes!"

……

Los Angeles, a restaurant.

Payton asked his assistant to book the place in advance. He is about to entertain guests here. A good atmosphere is very important.

This is true both at home and abroad, even the wine culture is not a manifestation of atmosphere?
It's just that with the enrichment of living conditions, this kind of atmosphere gradually became unpopular.

"Hello, Mr. Brown, President Maurice Podoloff!"

"Hello, Mr. Chris."

It was Walter Brown, the owner of the Boston Celtics, one of the founders of the NBA Federation, and Maurice Podoloff, the current president of the NBA.

Needless to say, Walter Brown has a broad mind, and it is difficult for people to have a bad impression of him.

Several of the good trades the Lakers have made this year have been helped by the Celtics.

The newly relocated Lakers have so far scored 20 wins and 13 losses, which is a good start compared to last year's 19 wins and 53 losses.

Maurice Podoloff seemed a very kind gentleman.

Of course, he is a Shangsanqi lawyer who is a veteran of Yale Law School.

Now serving as the president of the Federal Hockey League and the president of the NBA, he became the first person in the Federation to serve as the president of two professional leagues at the same time.

Moreover, in 49, for the league that was still the BAA at that time, it successfully merged with the NBL to form the NBA, and made great achievements.

This person is definitely not as kind and simple as he appears on the surface.

It is even an exaggeration to say that the NBA can persevere in the early ups and downs, and this person has done a lot!
Of course, when it comes to the presidents in the history of the NBA, apart from the fact that the joke is really a joke, the rest are more or less meritorious.

Not to mention David, using TV and sponsors as the main means of promoting NBA basketball to the world market has increased the total revenue of the NBA from 1984 million US dollars in 1.92 to 40 billion US dollars, making it one of the four major federal professional sports organizations. richest man.

And spread the influence of the NBA all over the world. During the period, the magic bird battle, Jordan's two three-peat championships, the Shuangsha in Salt Lake City, the Wolf King in Minnesota, the 96 gold medal, the four major points, the little emperor... too many stories , promoted globally, too many achievements.

And David's predecessor, Larry O'Brien, is also a political figure that cannot be ignored. He is the chairman of the Federal Democratic Party. He once served as the Federal Post Minister and is a well-known negotiator. The NBA's biggest competitor, the ABA, has established the legal status of the highest federal league.

The second president, Walton Kennedy, has the same name as the president. I don’t know if he is related. He once served as the mayor of Stamford. The first thing he dealt with when he took office was the 1964 NBA star strike. Under the coordination, the players' union was officially recognized by the league, and the labor agreement negotiations were also established during the Kennedy period.

Another achievement of Walton Kennedy is that he led the NBA to win a 1973 million TV broadcast contract in Colombia in 7000. This super broadcast contract allowed the NBA to establish an advantage in one fell swoop, and the threat of the ABA League has since disappeared.

In the history of a dynasty, there are always a few stupid kings. Looking at the history of the NBA for decades, there is really no particularly bad president, except for jokes!
Peyton contacted Mr. Brown before, hoping that he would help make an appointment with Maurice Podolov.

Peyton smiled and looked at Podolov: "I have already communicated with you through Mr. Brown. I wonder if you have any opinion on Power becoming the sole sponsor of the Federation?"

Mr. Brown also looked at Podolov with a smile. He and Podolov are old friends. (Mr. Brown is also the owner of ice hockey).

He is also very clear that it is difficult for Podolov to pass the matter of Chris.

Podolov is a serious and far-sighted person, and he will never rush his work.

But it has nothing to do with him. He is very clear about his position as a puller and a firm person. As for promoting cooperation between the two parties, that needs to be discussed by themselves.

In short, in Mr. Brown's opinion, Payton's conditions are too harsh, and Podolov will never agree.

However, as long as Payton is willing to lower his requirements, a sponsorship cooperation can be achieved. The league does need sponsors with deep pockets.

Sure enough, Podolov remained silent for a while: "Mr. Chris, please forgive me for being difficult to agree."

"Why? Power is in line with the positioning of the league. We have successfully won a mature shoe company, which is fully capable of providing athletes with better clothing and sports shoes."

"And, with all due respect, the NBA also needs a strong sponsor!"

Podolov still shook his head: "Sir, the NBA is a brand new league. It needs a wider space for development. It is impossible to be completely bound to a brand from the beginning, and although Power has a lot of fame, it is only a brand after all. Subsidiaries."

(Note: The three series of sun, power, and snow country have all been separated into subsidiaries and belong to Chris Group.)
Peyton smiled: "But Power can share all the resources of the group, including Snow Country, Sun, McDonald's, Washington Post, TV stations, Marvel, Oslav Studios..."

He calmly listed his own company, and constantly added weight to himself. Nike binds a Jordan, and he can completely bind the entire league.

Moreover, he can do more for this league and make an earlier leap.

"Imagine when the NBA logo appears on the best-selling Sun all over the world; the basketball logo appears in McDonald's restaurants that are promoting the welfare assistance system throughout the federal government; the Washington Post begins to establish a dedicated sports section to report the news of the league; Columbia TV begins to broadcast basketball games ;Marvel launched a new type of basketball comics to cultivate children's interest;Australian Studios made a legendary basketball player movie..."

Hearing Peyton's words, Podolov became more and more silent.

Even Brown, who was on the side, became serious. He was looking at Payton with a new look. At this moment, he realized how much energy Payton really has.

Such a person is enough to change the situation of the entire league!
