The Pope of Basketball Community

Yang Rui successfully received the lottery bonus, and invited his friends to have dinner in a luxurious western restaurant. Apart from the Scarlett siblings, Van Gundy was also invited.

When he was in the Knicks, although Van Gundy often had disagreements with Yang Rui, he also helped him a lot. Without Van Gundy, he couldn't control the old Knicks. Went to other teams, the two are still friends.

During the meal, Van Gundy complained. Once Yang Rui and Thibodeau left, the Knicks coaching staff had to find new people, and they might not be able to find a capable assistant.

In fact, coaches, managers, and players can communicate normally, as long as a group of people hold meetings for the new season.

Therefore, there are many loopholes to be exploited in the lockout. The summer managers have contact information with each other and can discuss transactions after the free market opens. Players from each team can also get together and organize training spontaneously, without using the NBA arena. Stars can take this opportunity to recruit free market players.

On July 15, Yang Rui and Thomas Bentley went out together, and the location of the investment company was chosen to be Aglan House on Church Street in Georgetown, Cayman Islands.

This place is very famous, providing office addresses for more than 10,000 companies from all over the world. Because of its unique advantages, there are only a few simple taxes such as import tax, stamp duty, business registration tax, and tourist tax.

No personal income tax, corporate income tax, capital gains tax, real estate tax, inheritance tax and other direct taxes have been levied here. Foreign exchange is free to enter and exit in Cayman, and various departments are tight-lipped about investors' financial information. Such convenient conditions help major companies, financial institutions and funds avoid the US corporate income tax rate of up to 35%.

After completing the formalities, the company was established and named "Blessed Man". The legal person is Yang Rui, which is tacky and festive.

Then, Yang Rui did something that confused Thomas, and registered a domain name.

"We are not engaged in the Internet, what do you do with a domain name?"

Yang Rui said with a smile: "You will know when you go back. I have an idea. If it is implemented, I will have to find someone in Silicon Valley to do it. At that time, you will need to work hard to keep an eye on it. It will be very promising."

Back in New York, Yang Rui began to write a plan to enter the IT industry.

He likes being a coach and wants to win a championship in the NBA, and he intends to hand over his off-court career to Thomas. Thomas' goal is to start a company, build a wealthy family, and become a tycoon.

Yang Rui has no shortage of inspiration, which is a shortcut to success.

The labor negotiations did not go on, the players went on strike, and the boss refused to budge, nothing changed from Yang Rui's previous life.

The things he doesn't participate in are the same as in the previous life.

Sang Lan was accidentally injured at the New York Friendship Games; the CIH computer virus began to attack the United States; the stock market in the United States began to adjust sharply...

Scarlett Johansson was also the same as in her previous life. After filming "The Horse Whisperer", she had nothing to do, and complained a lot when eating with Yang Rui. "There is no such role as "The Horse Whisperer". My summer vacation was wasted. It would be nice to have a role in a TV series."

"Will your mother let you make a TV series? Will that affect your development?" Yang Rui asked.

"Please, there are too many actors in the United States, and the competition for roles in TV dramas is fierce. How can a young actor like me be qualified to choose a role? It will be good if there is a filming." Scarlett said depressingly.

Before starring in "Lost in Translation", Scarlett was indeed not well-known. Apart from "The Horse Whisperer", she had the most roles in the comedy horror film "The Octagon".

Yang Rui couldn't think of any movies suitable for Scarlett in this period, but he still knew a lot of popular shows in the future. Seeing Scarlett sighing, he couldn't help but wanted to help.

If the exposure rate is increased, it should be good for her now, right?

Yang Rui asked with a smile: "Apart from movies and TV series, can you do other things? For example, reality shows?"

"What is a reality show?" Scarlett blinked her eyes.

"Have you watched "The Truman Show" released in June? It's a reality show.

"

Scarlett froze for a moment. "Isn't that a movie? Can I still make that?"

"Why not? I don't know what to do recently, do you want to film a reality show with me?" Yang Rui suggested.

"The protagonist of "The Truman Show" doesn't know that he is acting, how do we shoot? There must be a lot of extras." Scarlett is only 14 years old, and her imagination is limited.

"Not like Jim Carrey..."

At present, American reality shows are not taken seriously, and the first popular reality show "Survivor" has not yet been launched.

In 2000, "Survivor" premiered in the United States and achieved great success. Since then, American reality shows have been widely accepted by the public, and various reality shows have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

At the turn of the winter and spring of 2001, the second season of Survivor was launched, and the ratings went further. Although the ratings of Survivor dropped slightly in the following seasons, it always maintained a large number of loyal viewers. When Yang Rui crossed over, "Survivor" was filming its thirty-fifth season.

Of course, Yang Rui would not choose to make a show like "Survival in the Wild" to torment Scarlett, he couldn't bear that kind of hardship himself.

What he thought of was a reality show of eating, drinking and having fun, which best suited the personalities of the two of them. They were both foodies, and they became friends because of eating.

The future food show is very popular in the United States. "Hell's Kitchen," "MasterChef," "Eaters, Drives, and Dives," and more.

Especially "Diner" is a program where the host travels around and goes to restaurants to introduce special food. The task of the actors is to chat while eating. As long as the food is delicious and arouses the audience's appetite, then add some talk show elements.

As soon as Yang Rui explained the general idea, Scarlett was very interested immediately, her eyes lit up, and she looked like a fan girl.

"You actually came up with such a good program? You can eat delicious food from all over the world, and you can also appear on camera. If the ratings of the program are high, you can earn money. Is there a better job than this?"

"If you are not afraid of getting fat, go back and tell your parents. If they agree, I will invest in the filming. It happens that I have made money and have a long vacation. Shooting this will be a vacation."

"Okay, I'll tell you when I get back today."

"But I have to prepare for a while and make a plan. To be honest, I don't know much about the things in the circle, so I have to explore." Yang Rui smiled.

"If my mother thinks it's good, you don't need to prepare it. Just ask my grandfather. He is a director and knows many people in the TV station." Scarlett said excitedly.

"What? Your grandpa is actually a director?" Yang Rui had never asked Scarlett's grandpa and grandma what their jobs were, and he had no memory of it in his previous life.

This is considered unpopular news, unless you are a die-hard Scarlett fan, you won't know.

Scarlett's grandfather, Einar Johnson, is a director and screenwriter, and has many contacts in Hollywood. She made her debut so smoothly, and she didn't make it out of her skills. No matter which country you are in, if you want to succeed in the entertainment circle, you cannot do without it.

Scarlett asked, "What do you plan to call this show?"

There is no pressure for Yang Rui to copy the ideas of later generations, and he just opened his mouth: "A Bite of America."

PS, today is also the third watch, and the second chapter will be delivered at 11 o'clock.
