Chapter 344 The Beginning of Knicks Chaos

On December 12, when Bruce excitedly announced to all the media, he successively acquired the portrait rights of the characters of "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" with Coca-Cola and Pepsi for 1 million US dollars and 1 million US dollars. As well as some copyrights of peripheral items, after the cooperation was reached, the large media room of the Hollywood Miracle Entertainment headquarters suddenly burst into applause and gasping for air!

"We are very honored to have reached cooperation intentions with giants in the beverage industry. Our cooperation will be win-win!" Bruce said vigorously, and his words made the media even more excited!
"Mr. Doyle Randolph, as a representative of Coca-Cola, may I ask why Coca-Cola reached a cooperation agreement with Miracle Entertainment at such a sky-high price? Are you confident enough to make a steady profit?"

Hearing the reporter's question, Doyle Randolph smiled heartily at first, and then said confidently: "Miracle Entertainment is an exciting company, they have many admirable bosses, and they can accomplish a great deal with them. This cooperation will be an extremely exciting thing!"

Doyle Randolph didn't address this question, but just complimented him in a very good mood.

"Sorry, what do you mean, if there were no Mr. Bruce and others, you wouldn't be so optimistic about this movie?"

Hearing the reporter's questioning, Doyle Randolph smiled faintly: "For this film, we are very confident that we can make a good profit."

After getting the answer he wanted, the reporter who asked the question sat down satisfied!

"Mr. Kerry, if we're not mistaken, Pepsi and Coca-Cola are in competition. What's your take on Coca-Cola getting the Lord of the Rings license?"

Kerry Standing looked helplessly at Doyle Randolph and shrugged, and then said casually: "Although we have some healthy competition, on this issue, we also congratulate Coca-Cola for getting another movie." Movie copyright!"

Subsequent press conferences basically revolved around the competition between the two companies.

When finally Bruce and the two signed their contracts separately, the most surprising event in Hollywood this year came to an end!

After that, Bruce deliberately invited some Hollywood celebrities to the headquarters of Miracle Entertainment to hold a celebration party.

The next day, accompanied by bouts of hangover headaches, Bruce opened his eyes with difficulty!
"Honey, why don't you hold back?"

As soon as he opened his eyes, there was a somewhat reproachful voice beside Bruce.

"Sorry, Charlize, can you pour me a glass of water?" Bruce looked apologetically at the beauty beside him, and said with a dry mouth.

"You!" Charlize Theron reluctantly brought over the cold white that had already been placed by the bed, handed it to Bruce, watched him swallow eagerly, and hurriedly said: "Slow down, there is still many!"

"Ha!~" Bruce handed over the empty water glass contentedly, and said with a smile, "Looks like I'll drink less from now on!"

"Really?" Charlize Theron didn't believe it!
Since negotiating with the two companies, in order to complete the layout of the future as soon as possible, the two companies can't wait to hold a press conference in the near future!
The holding of the press conference, especially after the two parties announced the price, the two companies only took the first step to attract the attention of a large number of people from the outside world.

"Honey, your recent actions are simply shocking!" Charlize Theron gently rubbed Bruce's temples, and couldn't help being shocked by the series of acquisitions and authorizations made by Miracle Entertainment.

"Hehe, this is just our investment in the future!" Bruce said with a hint of complacency in his eyes, pretending to be casual.

"To be honest, I feel that your acquisition of Marvel Comics is a very risky transaction!" Charlize Theron frowned and said with some concern.

"Who can tell in the future?" Bruce smiled playfully, then turned around and kissed her heavily on the mouth.

On December 12, after the Warriors defeated the Suns led by Anfernee Hardaway and others with a 3-point advantage in Phoenix, they returned to the team with a record of 2 wins and 12 losses. Oakland!

For the Warriors players and staff, this Bruce-free month has been a bit of a stretch for everyone.

Because of Bruce's closeness before, they have already gotten used to the guy who doesn't look like a boss!
However, suddenly without this figure following him, even the active dressing room seemed a little dull!
After this stage of Miracle Entertainment was over, Bruce reluctantly bid farewell to Charlize Theron and Cole who complained a little.

The first thing I did when I returned to Oakland was to quickly devote myself to the work of the team!
In order to find a next home for Dampier as soon as possible, Bruce really worked hard on the composition of other teams!
In the current league, although the lineups of the teams are basically reasonable, some teams are still a bit weak in the reserve of the center position after all, and Bruce's goal is exactly these teams!

As the general manager of the Knicks, Scott Laydon was criticized by crazy fans in New York for his previous trade of Ewing to the Sonics.

This season, I don’t know if it’s because of his distraction. In a series of signings and transactions, it has been difficult to get players who can really help the team. At the beginning of this season, the Knicks, who were originally among the top teams in the East, The record of 10 wins and 9 losses is astonishing!

Even though the team still has Sprewell and Alan Houston, due to injury factors and a series of bad trades and signings, the Knicks suddenly fell into chaos!

Now, he urgently needs a deal to complete the upgrade of the team and the account of James Dolan!
Oakland.

"Chris, our Prince team has been doing very well recently, and you've done a great job!" Bruce looked at Chris Mullin at the desk in surprise. He hadn't seen him for a while. many things.

"Bruce, all of this is due to you. Without your hard work and dedication, this team would not have achieved such good results!" Mullin said modestly, for Bruce's previous trust and a series of investments , he is really grateful!

"Come on, why are you being polite to me!" Bruce shrugged helplessly: "Dude, you have achieved all of this with your own efforts, I just laid the foundation for you!"

"Hehe, okay, let's change the subject!" Mullin smiled a little embarrassedly, and then said: "I heard about Eric recently, as an old man, I agree with your approach very much! "

"Even though Eric has been playing for the Warriors, his body is a very worrying thing!" Mullin said very seriously: "If it weren't for his ability, I would have After Ben told the growth, I made an application to trade him!"

"Hehe, it might be because I was in a bad mood at the time!" Thinking of his slightly cold words before, Bruce couldn't help but smiled wryly.

"Since we have come to this point, you must have found him a good next home?" Mullin asked curiously, not caring about Bruce's mood at all.

"Yes, the Knicks and Denver are the most likely to complete the deal with us!" Bruce pondered for a moment, then said.

"I still have a little understanding of the situation in Denver. Since Antonio (McDyess) has left this season with a serious injury, only Nick (Van Exel) is obviously unable to support this team that has been in turmoil since entering 2000!" Mullin analyzed it very seriously, as if he had returned to his previous working status in the Warriors!
"And I don't understand the Knicks. They have a lot of players who can play at the center position. I don't think they will choose to complete the deal with us!"

After listening to Mullin's analysis, Bruce agrees with his previous analysis, but he disagrees with the Knicks: "Since Scott Layden traded Patrick last season, he has been under tremendous pressure. .”

"Coupled with the fact that he renewed his contract with Alan with a [-] million yuan contract last summer, and their frequent injury problems, this team has already had some crises!"

When Mullin heard Bruce's words, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "If according to what you said, this Knicks team is already a bit chaotic, but why didn't I hear the wind?"

Bruce wouldn't say that he had memories of his previous life, and with the current chaotic situation of Knicks, it was just a bluff. Once the news broke out in a few days, Knicks would be in a huge crisis!

"Well, why don't you let us wait?" Bruce smiled playfully, and then discussed with Mullin about the subordinate team!

On December 12th, just as Bruce predicted, the head coach of the Knicks, Jeff Van Gundy, suddenly announced his decision to stop coaching the team after coaching the team for 8 years!

With the breaking out of this news, the league suddenly caused a lot of trouble, and a series of problems of the Knicks were suddenly known to the outside world.

Bruce was sitting in the team office, looking at the news about Van Gundy's resignation in the newspaper in his hand, his eyes flashed with excitement!
Regarding Van Gundy's resignation, although he already knew about it, after all, this coach who is famous for his defense still made him feel very kind!
"I hope you can show up in the Rockets' rest area as soon as possible!" Bruce slowly closed the newspaper with a little expectation on his face!
