Yang Jian returned to Seattle and immediately finalized two more endorsement contracts, adding a considerable amount of income.
He signed a three-year endorsement contract with the brand Gatorade. A player with unlimited physical strength is very suitable for endorsing sports drinks.
In addition, he has also become the spokesperson of Audemars Piguet. This is the oldest watch manufacturer in the world. From its inception to the present, it still adheres to excellence, excellence, skilled technology and unswerving creative concepts. Businessmen believe that this is the same as Yang Jian
The performance on the pitch was very much in keeping with it.
When he attends formal events, wearing a brand-name watch can also enhance his temperament. In this era, people are not used to using mobile phones to tell the time.
After the All-Star Game, Yang Jian's net worth continued to increase, and many companies were unwilling to wait any longer. They had a hunch that the Sonics were likely to break the NBA regular season record, and also had a high chance of winning the championship.
If Yang Jian really waits for a season, there is no need to rush. Merchants who want to find Yang Jian as a spokesperson will need to offer a higher price.
Chinese media have also reported that Yang Jian has accepted commercial endorsements from internationally renowned brands, and his net worth continues to increase.
Chinese fans are lamenting that Yang Jian has made a lot of money playing in the NBA and are envious of him. In fact, what they see is just the tip of the iceberg of Yang Jian's wealth.
Yang Jian has started to trade in stocks, which is something that the media has not reported. At this time, speculating on technology stocks does not require any skills at all. He can make a fortune by just buying one with his eyes closed.
From the beginning of 1995 to March 10, 2000, the Nasdaq index rose from 743 points to a peak of 5132 points, an increase of 590%. During this period, an average of 200 technology companies were listed in the United States every year, although most of them were of poor quality.
But it is still highly sought after, with an astonishing increase.
At the height of the tech bubble, in just one year in 1999, the United States created 250 billionaires and tens of thousands of new millionaires.
When the bubble burst in 2000, the Nasdaq index fell 78% in 19 months, bottoming out at 1108 points. The technology stock index fell more than 95%. Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Intel and other giants were not spared, and the largest
It even lost 90% of its market value.
By the end of 2019, of the 899 technology companies listed between 1999 and 2001, only 61 still existed, with a survival rate of only 6.8%, and the others were delisted.
Before 2000, it was very safe for Yang Jian to speculate in technology stocks, which was equivalent to making money.
Yang Jian didn't know which U.S. stocks were the most promising, but he knew which companies were the most famous. He only set aside US$500,000 for consumption, and all the other money was spent on buying Yahoo stock.
In April this year, Yahoo just listed on the Nasdaq. The company only had a dozen people and seemed to have no future, but its stock price was "as high" as US$33. In January 2000, Yahoo's highest stock price was US$500.
It's so easy for a reborn person to make money, Yang Jian doesn't need to use his brain at all. Next, he plans to invest in Amazon, throw some of the money into the stock market and forget about it. He doesn't know what the share price of Amazon was when it went public in 1997.
But he knew that this company would be a giant in the future, with its stock price exceeding $2,000.
Yang Jian has never calculated how much money he can earn in the future, and he doesn't even bother to calculate it. It will be easy to earn more than 10 billion US dollars.
The NBA regular season continued, and the SuperSonics quickly lost again. They lost an upset at home to the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavericks won because of the physical strength of their players, and no one was selected for the All-Stars or participated in the Challenger League.
The Mavericks have a good offensive power, and Jason Kidd is only the team's fourth scoring point. The team's leading scorer is Jamal Mashburn, averaging 23.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game; the second leading scorer is Jim Jackson.
Averaged 19.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3 assists per game; the third leading scorer, George McLeod, averaged 18.7 points, 5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game.
Under Kidd's organization, the Mavericks' fast break was soaring and they were all stunned, scoring 40 points in the first quarter.
The SuperSonics' four stars were all in average condition and lost the game 103 to 117. George McLeod showed off his strength and made 6 of 10 three-pointers. He scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.
Because Mashburn only played 18 games before suffering a serious injury that ended the season, the Mavericks' record was not good and ranked second to last in the Western Conference. They were able to defeat the SuperSonics, which makes people feel that they have a promising future.
Yang Jian found that it is not easy to break the record. It is not easy for them and the Bulls. As long as they are against them, the underdogs will try their best. If the underdogs beat these two teams,
You can prove your strength and it doesn’t matter if you lose a lot of games during the season.
In the next game, the Sonics players regained the feeling of winning, beating the Timberwolves at home and winning by 22 points.
One day later, Naomi Watts came back from Los Angeles looking listless.
Yang Jian poured her a glass of orange juice and said with a smile: "Looking at you, the audition must have failed."
"Yes, I auditioned for two roles. One was kicked out after saying a few words, and the other looked like he was going to succeed. In fact, the producer had evil intentions. I stupidly wanted to go to the second round of auditions.
Fortunately, someone reminded me." Naomi said with a wry smile.
"It doesn't matter if you fail. Watch more movies at home to hone your acting skills. You will have opportunities in the future." Yang Jian comforted Naomi and said unhappily: "What's going on with that producer?"
"The producer of the movie "Scream" said that he admired me very much and asked me to go to him for a second round of auditions. But he just wanted to hide his rules for me." Naomi paused and smiled: "You absolutely
I can’t guess who reminded me.”
"Wait a minute, you went to audition for the crew of "Scream"? Why didn't I hear you say that before?" Yang Jian swallowed.
"What should I say? I just started auditioning? I originally wanted to come back, but my agent said that the crew had a role suitable for me, so I stayed a few more days to audition. There was a female reporter who had a lot of roles, and I didn't have any hope.
I want to give it a try.”
Naomi took a sip of juice and said mysteriously: "The heroine is your favorite actress. She told me that the role was decided to be played by Courteney Cox (Monica from Friends).
Let me refuse the producer’s invitation. Can you guess who the heroine is?”
Is there any need to guess? Yang Jian just feels that the world is too small and Hollywood is too small.
He told Naomi that he liked Barrymore. The reason was that he liked the movie "E.T." and had known this female star for a long time. He had a premonition that their relationship would be discovered by the media sooner or later, and wanted to call Naomi first.
Good vaccination.
He thought for a while and said with a smile: "The actress I like...is starring Whoopi Goldberg?"
Whoopi Goldberg is a black actress born in 1955. In 1985, she starred in "The Color Purple", which won critical acclaim and was nominated for an Oscar, making her a famous Hollywood actress. In 1990, she starred in "The Color Purple"
, won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. In 1992, she starred in "Sisters Are Crazy" with a box office of US$230 million.
This black actress is very ugly, Yang Jian said so on purpose.
Naomi was indeed amused. "Haha, how is that possible? This is a campus thriller movie, and the actors are almost all students. The female reporter role I auditioned for was the oldest one. I met Drew Barrymore.
.”
"Okay, she is my second choice." Yang Jian smiled. The later the truth is revealed, the better. Some things cannot be said directly.
Naomi sighed: "She is so kind. She was worried that I would fall into the clutches of the devil and talked to me a lot. I said I believed her, and she was very happy. I said my boyfriend liked you very much, and she even signed it for me.
I have a name, but I don’t have the airs of a celebrity.”
Naomi added: "By the way, she has a denim jacket of the same style as yours, bought in San Antonio. She said she went to the All-Star Game before because she is your die-hard fan."
"..." Is this hardcore serious?
Naomi said excitedly: "I told her that I was also your fan, and I told her that I lost my job in the restaurant because I watched your football game. But I didn't tell her that you were my boyfriend, and I guess she wouldn't believe it if I did.
.”
Yang Jian rolled his eyes. There were so many flaws in this sentence that he didn't know where to start.
Now he just wants to take the pure water at hand and pour it on his head to calm down. If the two of them know the truth, they will definitely be very angry. How should he persuade them then?
Forget it, I don’t think about it anymore, I’ll talk about it when we really get to that point.
Young people will inevitably have troubles in relationships. He doesn't want to think too much, and his head will hurt if he thinks too much.
