Chapter 343 Lifetime Ban
"What are the current Kung Fu Pie product lines? Has the membership system been launched?"

After saying goodbye to Wang Jinhua and others, Du Sheng looked at Ye Jingzhi who came to see him off.

This time the destination is the beacon country, Las Vegas.

"We are working on it. In addition to core products such as sports bras, sports pants, and sports tops, we are also developing running, yoga, boxing and other sports..."

With Wang Jinhua helping to share entertainment affairs, Ye Jingzhi was able to focus on coordinating business matters.

For example, endorsement negotiations, the "Kung Fu" program, the Kung Fu brand, Agile Real Estate, and cinema layout.

At present, she is not the one who leads the "Kung Fu" program. Agile Real Estate has a professional team, so part of the focus is on the Kung Fu brand.

Thanks to Du Sheng's popularity and influence, he occasionally wears and promotes Kung Fu clothing through social media and attending events.

They also invited Fan Bingbing, Jia Jingwen, Girls' Generation and others to participate in brand promotion to expand the brand's exposure in the entertainment industry...

It can be said that with sufficient financial support, the development momentum is very rapid.

Now, not only have the core products successfully established a foothold in the mid-to-high-end market, but they have also gradually expanded to diversified products such as sports jackets, sports skirts, and sports swimsuits.

In addition, Kung Fu Pai has opened dozens of brand flagship stores and experience stores in first- and second-tier cities.

We have already established deep cooperative relationships with sporting goods retailers and department stores such as Goldlion, and our offline sales network has expanded to hundreds of stores.

According to Du Sheng's proposal, we will carry out brand sponsorship and cooperation with sports events, fitness clubs, sports bloggers, etc. to deepen the promotion line.
A membership system was established to provide members with points, discounts, priority purchase and other privileges to improve customer loyalty.

In the eyes of Ye Jingzhi, a top student, this set of combined punches is an advanced concept, so she is naturally full of confidence.

"As long as you have confidence, I can save some worries."

Du Sheng tidied up the woman's hair that was messed up by the night wind and prepared to wave goodbye.

"Wait--"

Ye Jingzhi no longer minded this kind of intimate action. Suddenly she remembered something and said:

"The crew in Korea sent us a consultation, saying that due to the schedule of KBS TV station and Song Hye Kyo, the filming of "Full House" originally scheduled for February may have to be delayed a little, and asked for our opinion.

Considering your busy schedule and the fact that they are filming and broadcasting at the same time, should we make some changes here?"

Du Sheng thought for a moment and said:
"Then let's postpone it. It's a good opportunity to shoot the TVB drama first."

He doesn't care about this. After all, "Full House" has less than 20 episodes, and it will take less than a month to finish filming if things go well.

"Okay, I replied to them."

Ye Jingzhi stepped forward and hugged the man, saying softly:
"I have followed your advice and invested all the money I got from Neon into Apple and Amazon stocks."

At this point, she said with a hint of surprise:

"Amazon's valuation soared yesterday. Did you predict that the Internet bubble was about to end?"

Amazon's highest stock price once reached $361, but after several years of Internet turmoil, it fell below $10 in the first half of last year, almost becoming a junk stock.

Ye Jingzhi really didn't expect Du Sheng to be so optimistic about it, and strongly suggested that she use her connections to purchase it.

Considering that the man has always had good vision, he exchanged the money he won plus the Toshiba endorsement fee into 482 million US dollars.

Together with the signing bonus from Don King, the total is 886 million US dollars.

Invest half and half in Apple and Amazon stocks.

At the end of October last year, both companies were still in the late stages of the Internet bubble and their stock prices were not high.

Apple's stock price fell from $36 per share at the beginning of the year to $12, and then plummeted to $5500 because Jobs sold 7 million shares.

When Ye Jingzhi bought Apple, the stock price was US$7.63, and she made a net purchase of 58 shares.

The current stock price is 8.12. Although the increase is not particularly obvious, it is still considered a profit.

What surprised Ye Jingzhi the most was Amazon!
The same investment of more than 400 million US dollars has rebounded from the initial bottom of 9.82 US dollars to 52 US dollars yesterday due to the positive factor of the first profit in last year's financial report.

Almost 5 times the increase!
Even though I only use 2x leverage, the returns are even more terrifying than robbing money!
"It's not really a prediction. After all, the Internet industry is a general trend. It's just a long-term investment."

Du Sheng hadn't told her yet that Amazon's stock would soar back to $361 per share in the future, otherwise she would probably not be able to leave tonight.

Of course, the reason why he knew all this was naturally thanks to his skill of "Flash of Inspiration".

The CD was in a cooling-off state at the time, and I had just earned a large sum of money, so I simply went back and traced it again.

Only then did I know the general situation.

Even though the world has changed, it's still basically the same, which is why the investment advice has changed.

After all, if you invest all your money in Country Garden, you may not get your money back within two or three years.

Moreover, there is no need to rush to invest all at once, and you can save money slowly by taking on endorsements.

Now it seems that this investment is still reliable, at least the general trend has not changed much.

But such good things rarely happen.

If he didn't know or understand the relevant events in his previous life, he would still be confused no matter how much he tried to trace back.

For example, the valuation of Netflix. Although it is also a giant company in the beacon country, it has not received much attention, so no one even knows when it will go public.

Ye Jingzhi suppressed her joy and asked:

"Amazon's stock started to fall slightly today. Should I sell some?"

She already had a bit of a blind admiration for men, so she was quite receptive to advice.

In fact, Du Sheng was not very sure. Seeing that the skill CD was in the cooling period, he went back and compared it:
“You can sell half of it first and invest it in Apple.”

In the past life, this stock would fall for several years, but this cannot be generalized here.

To be on the safe side, just throw away some of it first.

"If your Ye family has a business team in Lighthouse, you might want to pay attention to the information on emerging social networking sites..."

Although he went back twice, Du Sheng still couldn't quite remember when platforms like Facebook and YouTube were established and listed, so he could only try to fish in the ocean.

Next year, MGM, one of the eight major Hollywood film studios, and DreamWorks will be acquired. This is an opportunity for anyone who wants to get involved in the global film industry.

Although he didn't have the ability to pry open the corner, he could still try to drink some soup.

In addition, it is impossible for Du Sheng to stay in the mainland to develop.
If Hollywood wants to attract global audiences in the future, it will have no way around it.

But there are many rules and checks and balances there, and the union and producer-centered system alone are enough to restrict people's hands and feet. If you want to kick them out or form your own group, the first prerequisite is capital.

What we earn now is far from enough.

So the wool comes from the sheep, so we can only try from the outside.

"Okay, I'll say hello."

Ye Jingzhi seemed to be thinking about something.

Du Sheng is most likely betting that the Internet winter is over, and related industries will gradually become popular.

Although she didn't know what the men used as a reference, the example of Amazon was right in front of her.

Du Sheng smiled slightly and let go of her shoulders:

"It's freezing cold, go back."

"Bon Voyage."

Ye Jingzhi originally planned to go with them, but Du Sheng said that there was no need to sign anything and there was no need to travel back and forth for the time being.

She kept watching the car disappear from her sight before she calmed down and returned to the company.

There is a saying that the sooner the better. Some opportunities are fleeting and she doesn't want to miss them.

"Brother Sheng, this flight will take 13 hours?"

Arriving at the airport, Wang Yaoyang, who was pulling his suitcase, couldn't help but say:
"Doesn't that mean we have to arrive tomorrow morning?"

Wearing a hat, a mask and sunglasses, Du Sheng looked at the people around him and said casually:

"You didn't calculate the time difference. It should still be night when we arrive in Nevada."

The UFC is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In addition to being the world's largest casino, it is also a paradise for tourism, shopping and vacation industries.

With Los Angeles, the second largest city in the Beacon Country, its advantages are evident.

Ye Jingzhi booked a first-class ticket on China Southern Airlines.

After the two passed the VIP channel and completed security check, they stayed in the VIP lounge for a while and then boarded the plane smoothly.

Although China Southern Airlines' planes are not as luxurious as those of private tycoons, the facilities in the first-class cabins are still quite complete.

Each seat is spacious and comfortable, with adjustable tilt angle and equipped with advanced audio-visual entertainment system.

In addition, thoughtful items such as pajamas and toiletries are also provided.

When the partition is closed, each seat becomes a small private space, like a miniature hotel room.

Without any entertainment during the journey, Du Sheng just flipped through a magazine on the plane and fell asleep.

Time flies and I didn't encounter any public figures on this flight.

Du Sheng arrived at McCarran International Airport at 8:20 p.m. local time.

"Mr. Du, this way please——"

Don King had already arranged for someone to pick him up at the airport, and it was his assistant Anika.

But unlike the previous two meetings, her attitude this time was quite enthusiastic and she even opened the trunk herself.

Du Sheng guessed why she had such a big change, but was too lazy to expose her.

As he put his luggage in, he asked:
"You just said that Mr. Don King is not here. Is this because of some urgent matter?"

"Yes, there was a fight between a fighter and someone outside the ring, and he had to go there temporarily."

Anika was a little embarrassed and said:

"But don't worry, he will be back as soon as possible tomorrow."

Although this situation is rare, once black boxers get excited, they will not care about the rules of boxing.

For example, boxing champion Tyson had a conflict with boxer Chris after an AEW match a few years ago, and the two sides wrestled with each other.

It took six people to finally pull Tyson back.

Another example is the boxing exhibition match between Mayweather and Gotti. After the sixth round ended, there was a fierce conflict between the two teams, and the scene was in chaos.

There are many reasons why these men clash outside the ring.

Some were dissatisfied with the results of the game, some were provocative in person, and some lost control of their personal emotions.

The boxer from their Tangya Company was angry that the host was taking sides, so he rushed onto the stage, grabbed the microphone and provoked, which led to the fight.

After listening to the accompanying translator, Wang Yaoyang asked curiously:

"What will become of that boxer?"

"The punishment ranges from a fine to a lifetime ban."

Anika knew all about this matter and said:

“Of course, for our company, such a conflict could potentially lead to a reduction in sponsorship and a decrease in commercial value.

Therefore, the president must rush to deal with it and reduce unnecessary impact."

She also cited the example of a Persian boxer who kicked a sign girl in the buttocks earlier this year and was banned for life and had his prize money confiscated.

Normally, for such a small matter, the maximum penalty would be a suspension of a few games, but because he had no connections or company guarantees, he was directly dismissed.

Du Sheng knew that Anika was talking to him, so he just smiled.

Unless others provoke him, he will naturally not get into conflict with others.

But sometimes it is not possible to avoid it.

After all, what is most lacking here is racial discrimination.

Of course, since Don King spent such a huge price to sign him, even if an accident happens, I think the other party will find a way to protect him.
