American TV Series: Starting with Sheldon’s Wool Collection

"Everyone be quiet, you are students, it's class time~"

Feeling the growing commotion below, Ms. Victoria in front of the podium slammed the table with a dark face.

The effect is obvious. The eleventh grade students are still quite afraid of this eccentric head teacher.

The classroom immediately became quiet...

But as the class time went on, the students who were full of curiosity about Mike began to discuss in a low voice without knowing it.

In this way, the time came to noon.

On Mike's way to the school cafeteria, he discovered that there were a lot more students expressing kindness to him on campus today.

In the past, it was only the girls who would intentionally strike up a conversation with Mike on the street.

Today, there were actually many boys who would nod and say hello to Mike in a friendly manner when they met him.

It has to be said that today's newspapers still have high credibility in people's minds.

Obviously, Mike quickly became a "celebrity" in school just because he appeared on the colorful headline of today's newspaper.

"Mike, guess what I found this morning?" In the middle of the canteen, little George was preparing to have lunch. When he saw Mike coming over to bring food, he could no longer resist his strong desire to communicate.

"What did you find? Is it because I made the headlines in the newspaper?" Mike asked with a smile.

"No, no, no..." Xiao Qiao shared in a low voice with a gossipy look: "Did you know that many girls put your big head stickers on their lockers today..."

In a very private place like a locker, students usually hide some of their own little secrets.

For example, secretly post photos of boys or girls you like in it for easy viewing.

This is not unusual for adolescent students.

"Really?" Mike also knew some of the secrets in the locker. He said indifferently: "As far as I know, there seemed to be a girl who posted a photo of me in the locker last year. This is not really news. .”

Seeing Mike's indifferent look, little George had reason to believe that the other person was pretending.

However, after seeing the two beauties sitting next to each other, little George could only feel envious.

In order to avoid suffering a second blow, he wisely stopped the topic of girls and photos.

Time comes in the afternoon, outdoor exercise class.

Coach George, who was on the sidelines of the training ground, looked at the training ground. After Mike once again led his teammates to score with an unreasonable offensive line, he did not raise any questions.

In sports, the winner takes all.

Obviously, Mike has proven himself with his strength.

"Wayne, what do you think about the next game, we invite Austin High School to be our opponent?" After a while, Coach George asked the assistant coach on the side.

Last year, the Melford team made it to the first round of the state Big Ten, losing to Austin High School.

Coach George was obviously unwilling to accept this result.

"Austin? That's not good!" Assistant Coach Wayne thought for a moment and said, "Now that the team is getting a lot of attention, we may be able to continue to find some weak teams from the surrounding areas as opponents..."

Assistant Professor Wayne also saw the front page of today's newspaper.

It is conceivable that if the team can continue to achieve good results in the next competition, Mike's reputation will definitely only become higher.

Likewise, the team's profile will also increase.

During this important period of time to expand visibility, it is particularly important for the team to steadily gain more wins.

"No, with the current level of the team, they deserve a stronger opponent..." Coach George looked at his old colleagues aside and said seriously: "I know what you are thinking. But sometimes we only pick weak teams to win. Not a good thing.”

Pecking at each other with novices will only lower your own standards.

And even if you win when you bully the weak, you will still feel like you are not victorious.

Only when you compete with evenly matched and powerful opponents can you prove your strength.

Coach George obviously also knows about the newspaper. In his opinion, it is good to win more victories steadily, but it is more important to compete with strong opponents and hone the players.

And he believed in his players and thought they might be able to win more.

So, between a small win with no difficulty and a winner-takes-all with difficulty.

Coach George chose the latter.

As an old colleague for many years, Assistant Coach Wayne quickly understood George’s thoughts.

"Okay, you are the leader, I will listen to you..." Looking at the sweaty teenagers on the field, Assistant Coach Wayne felt a rare feeling of enthusiasm.

It's evening.

In the Cooper's restaurant, Missy, the little girl holding a newspaper with Mike's picture on it, buzzed around Mike, like a happy little bee.

Although the little girl still doesn't understand many things, she also knows that people who can be in the newspaper must be very powerful.

Therefore, what Mike reported is worthy of celebration.

At this moment, Mike's phone rang.

"Mike, you are going to be famous. Can you believe it? The repurchase rate of the newspaper today reached an astonishing nine points. Do you know what this means?" After the call was connected, reporter Jack said excitedly sound.

Because of the subscription model, the circulation of newspapers is basically fixed every day.

Only when a certain issue of a newspaper is extremely memorable will someone choose to repurchase it for collection.

The repurchase rate of nine points shows that for every ten people who have subscribed to a newspaper, probably one takes the initiative to go to the newsstand and choose to repeat the purchase of this issue.

Today's newspaper sales just illustrate Mike's popularity.

"So, how much money is the newspaper going to give me this time?" Mike interrupted the enthusiastic Jack on the other end of the phone and asked the question he was concerned about.

It is not difficult to imagine that most of the people who buy back newspapers today are probably women, and they are attracted by the handsome image of Mike in the newspapers.

Therefore, he did not feel embarrassed when the matter of dividing money was brought up again.

"This is not a question of money. Do you know influence and influence?" Talking about money again made Jack on the other end of the phone a little angry.

Being in the information industry, he is very aware of the hidden benefits that good visibility can bring to people.

Compared with the benefits brought by fame, money is not an issue at all.

It’s just that Mike doesn’t think so. Compared to the illusory fame and vanity, he obviously thinks that talking about money is more cost-effective.

"Okay, you win." Seeing that the other party was not on the same channel as him, reporter Jack was defeated.

Then, he explained: "The people at the newspaper are still discussing the issue of giving you a share. It is very likely that someone will come to you to discuss it in detail later. The newspaper is also ready to cooperate with you on the distribution of your posters. I don't know if you are interested. .”

"Poster release? Tell me more specifically." Mike became interested.

Compared with private workshops, newspapers obviously have wider distribution channels.

This method of expanding business scale is obviously more profitable even if the individual share ratio is lower.

Just eat, don't shiver.

"The newspaper knows that we sold posters last year, so they are ready to intervene. The specific share ratio may not be very good..."

Seemingly dissatisfied with the newspaper's arbitrary intervention, Jack paused and whispered, "Your current market is very good, so I think you can ask for more when discussing cooperation with the newspaper. Maybe four levels of net profit." It’s very suitable…”

"I'm very interested in cooperating with newspapers, but I don't think the fourth-level profits are realistic..." In business, although he knew that the other party had good intentions, Mike still knew clearly that given his own situation, he wanted to go It is simply impossible to monopolize the net profit of the fourth level.

"Okay, I will convey your willingness to cooperate to the newspaper. You can decide the specific situation by yourself. See you on Saturday~" Obviously, it was not convenient for Jack to say too much on the phone.

"OK, see you on Saturday~" Mike also needs to make a careful calculation of where the bottom line of the newspaper's interests lies.

After hanging up the phone, Mike found that everyone else in the restaurant was looking at him. Apparently they had all heard about the cooperation.

"Mike, is that the person who called me in the morning?" Grandma Connie asked with concern.

"Yes, he told me that the newspaper wanted to cooperate with me..." Mike had nothing to hide from the Cooper family, so he revealed the cooperation in issuing posters.

"Are you talking about cooperation sharing? Maybe I can help." After hearing the whole story, Peggy said with interest.

For a super little prodigy, she needs a little challenge.

Of course, it could also be that he simply wanted to help Mike.

"I can also help you draw up a business cooperation contract. The premise is that I need to use your computer to check the newspaper's operating conditions." Little Sheldon, who is also a super little prodigy, has no idea about cooperation with the newspaper. , also generated strong interest.

"That's it, I'll leave the contract to you." Mike, who was happy and free, chose to assign the task and stay behind to take care of it.

"Okay, we'll talk about Mike later. Now it's time for us to pray before the meal." At the sumptuous dinner table, Mary smiled and reminded everyone to prepare for the meal.

You know, after Mike’s phone call just now, it’s almost past dinner time.
