Start by trimming cow hooves

I only stayed in New York for five days.

Suri quickly took Daddario and flew back to Los Angeles.

Hoshino Yuko also had to prepare for the Victoria's Secret show, so she didn't go back with her this time.

Her one-year short-term contract will expire at the beginning of next year, and the girl has considered not renewing it.

At that time, you can still use your identity as a "Victoria's Secret Model" and continue to participate in Victoria's Secret shows, but you will no longer be a "Victoria's Secret Contracted Model."

Although giving up the contract is equivalent to losing an annual salary of millions of dollars, it can be freed from all kinds of messy trivial matters. When it comes to accepting advertising endorsements and filming film and television dramas, it will also be more free.

From now on, she can go to Victoria's Secret company activities if she wants to, but not if she doesn't want to. Instead, she will be paid based on the number of Victoria's Secret activities she participates in, just like a part-time job.

If you are invited by other luxury goods companies, you can also go to major fashion weeks and participate in other companies' catwalk shows to continue to maintain your reputation in the modeling circle.

With Suri as her backer, Hoshino Yuko has a lot of options to choose from.

She currently spends three or four months a year on Victoria's Secret promotional activities, which is really not cost-effective.

Even if you only make guest appearances in certain movies, you can earn more than just a million dollars, and you will also be more relaxed and free.

Moreover, Hoshino Yuko is considering taking the YOYO brand to develop in Asia, and it is inevitable that she will need to keep an eye on it personally.

For her, running away after being gilded in Victoria's Secret is obviously the best choice.

Relying on her high popularity in Japan and the reputations of Suri and Daddario on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the three of them started a business partnership. As long as the YOYO brand clothing continues to maintain high quality, it will be easy to attract many young customers.

It was only 2009, and it was still an era when shamate was very popular in the mainland.

The fashionable, bold and avant-garde style of the YOYO brand has just the opportunity to win the favor of young people.

In line with the newly emerging e-commerce business and the crazy expansion of large shopping malls, if it works well, there is an opportunity to grab some of the future market share of foreign fast-moving brands such as Uniqlo, H\u0026M, and ZARA.

It would be difficult for Yuko Hoshino to compete with these brands alone. However, when her partner Suri is willing to help her, the situation is different.

With Suri's fame and influence, he can do many things with half the effort, and he can also invest a lot of money to help advertise the YOYO brand through various channels.

Over the next two weeks.

Suri doesn't have much to do. On the one hand, she is supervising the preparations for film and television dramas, and on the other hand, she is also preparing for the concert in November.

The end of October 2009.

On the 28th, the new NBA season begins.

The Warriors' first game is scheduled for the 29th, against the Houston Rockets.

As the team's majority shareholder, Suri naturally joined in the fun and came to the Warriors' home stadium in Oakland to watch the game.

If there had been no drastic changes before, the two teams would have been equally matched.

Especially since the Houston Rockets had already played a game yesterday and the physical fitness of the players has declined, the Warriors have a greater chance of winning.

However, the Warriors have now changed to a new coach, and even the team's former boss has been traded away. They have lost core members of the team like Kobe and James, and they appear to be relatively loose.

This made Shark O'Neal a little less confident, so he vaccinated Suri again and told him face to face:

"Before, I should have retired later and come to our team to play for another two years and sit on the sidelines as a manager. I always felt something was strange. I didn't exercise in the past two months and gained more than 20 pounds."

"In addition, you'd better not have too high expectations tonight. Reorganizing a team is not that simple. It may take a year or two to see results."

"I have a hunch that if we let the two newcomers Curry and Harden start the game, the result will not be very good. They still lack training to adapt to the NBA's playing rhythm."

Daddario has already gone to the set to prepare for filming "The Walking Dead 2".

Suri only brought a middle-aged male guest tonight, who is from Goldman Sachs Group. His name is David Levin. The two parties have cooperated many times.

When we first negotiated cooperation with Netflix, raised funds for Dongjing Mall, and acquired Apple shares, all the transactions were completed through David Levine.

At this moment.

Suri faced the camera lens, smiled and waved, and the scene was broadcast in real time to thousands of TV sets.

After hearing what O'Neill said, he didn't panic at all and explained:

"Don't worry, I'm not even a basketball fan. Winning or losing is not that important to me. As long as everyone tries their best to play well, there will be no problem. The rules of the NBA are very friendly to us. Even if we are ranked at the bottom, as long as the league itself makes more money , I can still get a large dividend, and I have full confidence in this business."

David Levin, a senior partner at Goldman Sachs Group, laughed and said:

"As expected of you! I thought the owners of these teams all love sports from the bottom of their hearts, but you only treat it as a business. This is a good idea. Maybe I should persuade Larry Eyre of Oracle Leeson and Bill Gates all came to the NBA to invest in teams. After all, you have always had an excellent vision."

Shark O'Neal didn't take David Levine seriously at first, but after hearing these words, he realized that he seemed to underestimate him.

Not everyone can get in touch with big names like those in the top ten on the Forbes rich list, which shows that this guy has a wide network of contacts.

Suri shrugged and said:

"I didn't care much before, but it's not too late to start developing hobbies now. This stadium in Oakland is a bit old, and I'm afraid another one will be built next time. Next time you meet the senior officials of San Francisco's city hall, remember to ask for me Once you ask, it’s best to get a good piece of land at a low price.”

David Levine nodded:

"It's just a small thing. I think they don't want to miss your investment. A stadium can bring a lot of jobs and tourism revenue. No one is stupid enough to push it out."

O'Neill's eyes lit up and he said with a smile:

"The contract with this stadium in Auckland is about to expire in two or three years. If we build it quickly, we will be able to move to the new home stadium by then."

Su Rui paused for a moment, lowered his voice and told:

"I'm afraid we have to wait a little longer. We can start bidding for design first. I have been spending a lot of money recently and my money is very tight."

The reason why he met with David Levin today was to discuss how to acquire shares of Penguin Group from MIH Group.

This investment has enabled MIH's parent company, the South African Newspaper Group, to earn hundreds of times profit. Its current shareholding in Penguin Group is as high as about 34%.

With the help of Goldman Sachs Group, the board of directors of the South African Newspaper Group felt that it would be good to cash out some of the money in advance, so they basically agreed to the acquisition invitation and were willing to sell up to 15% of Penguin Group's shares.

A great opportunity lies in front of Suri, but the problem is that he can't come up with so much money.

Even if there is no premium at that time and the transaction is only based on the stock price on that day, the total market value of Penguin Group remains at about US$32 billion, and 15% of the shares is equivalent to US$4.8 billion.

Mainland banks would lend him up to 75% of the value of the equity, which is a full US$3.6 billion.

For the remaining money, Suri needs to find another way.

Therefore, he approached David Levine for help, hoping to complete the acquisition as soon as possible through Goldman Sachs Group.

With the sales of Apple iPhone 3GS, the stock price has been rising.

Two investments in Apple have helped him earn a total of about 600 million U.S. dollars. Suri has tasted the benefits and his appetite has become bigger and bigger (End of Chapter)
