NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 424: UAE enters NCAA

June 26, 2001 NBA draft day.

At 8:30 a.m. on the 27th, BJ time, CCTV broadcast the draft live. Zhao Dong had nothing to do and also watched the draft.

This year's No. 1 pick was the same as the previous one, won by the Wizards. He wanted to know if the Wizards would still select Kwame Brown without Jordan in this generation.

But he knows that history may not be changed, and the Wizards' biggest possibility is to choose Kwame Brown.

The reason is simple. With that damn talent visible to the naked eye, who would you choose if not Kwame Brown?

In the draft, what is selected is talent. His talent is visible to the naked eye, so he must be selected.

Sure enough, David Stern walked on stage with the envelope and read Kwame Brown's name.

In this way, the first high school student champion in NBA history was born.

Next, the Clippers drafted Tyson Chandler, the Hawks drafted Pau Gasol, and the Spurs drafted Eddy Curry.

It was the Trail Blazers' turn, and Wittester wrote the name of the rookie he drafted, Jason Richardson.

A swingman, 198 centimeters tall, with a strong body and a lot of quality. He is good at sudden shots, has amazing jumps, has explosive dunks, and is good at wing offense, but his defense is not very good and his lateral movement is not very good. He just led Michigan last year. State University won the NCAA championship.

Zhao Dong also feels that this draft is good. With Jason Richardson, he can leave the No. 1 position. Eddie Jones will be paired with Richardson and Marion on the outside, and he can go inside.

Some insiders may be poached this time. As long as other teams promise the main position and a big contract, some of the players who win the championship will be willing to leave.

But he was wrong. The first one to be poached was not the insider, but Marion.

The draft is over and the trade window is open.

"Boss, I'm sorry."

On the second day of the draft, around 9 p.m., he received a call from Marion.

"Which team?"

Not surprising, Zhao Dong asked.

Marion said: "The Suns, they gave me a contract I couldn't refuse, 6 years and 86 million US dollars, boss,

I'm very sorry, I..."

"Don't be sorry, I'm happy for you to get a big contract. Isn't playing just to make money?" Zhao Dong said with a smile.

"Thank you, boss." Marion over there breathed a sigh of relief.

"Without Marion, it seems I have to stay on the outside."

After finishing the phone call, Zhao Dong thought about the lineup and found that it was okay. As long as he didn't leave any more players, he could still play next season.

There are also Eddie Jones and rookie Richardson around. He can play the one, two or three positions, and Eddie Jones can play point guard.

In the following time, he no longer cared about NBA news and only stayed at home to be his daddy. Lindsay was very busy at work. He was pestered by his four sons. Even though there were several nannies around him, he was busy all day long. Got dizzy.

But after only staying for about a week, there were serious things to do.

On July 9, he followed the BJ Olympic bid delegation to Moscow to attend the 112th Plenary Session of the International Olympic Committee.

This meeting will decide the right to host the 2008 Olympic Games.

BJ has already lost once and cannot lose again this time. Everyone is working hard.

As the number one player in today's basketball world, Zhao Dong's importance goes without saying. He has to go to every meeting and speech, as well as visits to national Olympic committees.

On the 13th, the plenary session was held.

Although Zhao Dong knew the result, he was a little nervous at the scene.

Fortunately, Samaranch finally said BJ's name.

After returning from Moscow, Zhao Dong continued to be his daddy.

On August 13, a piece of news came from New York, a call from Oakley, who had retired.

Old Oak reluctantly told him that the incident at the Golden Club was exposed by the media, and it turned out that several Knicks players were involved.

Zhao Dong burst out laughing after hearing this, which made Oakley hang up the phone in anger.

"What's the rush? Jordan won't be able to escape from behind."

He shouted happily, then realized that the phone was disconnected, and quickly called again.

"What are you doing again?" Oakley said unhappily.

"Charles, your wife won't cause trouble for you, right?" Zhao Dong asked with a smile.

"Get out! You unfaithful guy."

Oakley was so angry that he hung up the phone again, and this time he couldn't get through again.

On August 20th, Zhao Dong arrested his four sons and did not invite outsiders, just family members.

The four little guys are already able to walk very steadily and can swim independently without any help from adults. They are obviously stronger than the average child. It takes 15 months for the average child to be able to walk independently like this.

Time has entered September, and Zhao Dong knows that a big event is about to happen, and China will also usher in the best opportunity for development.

This opportunity will last nearly twenty years.

On the night of the 11th and the morning of the 11th in the United States, history maintained its original trajectory. What was supposed to happen happened, and the whole world was shocked.

In the next week, panic selling occurred in U.S. stocks. The three major stock indexes all fell by 11% to 17%. The U.S. stock market value loss reached 1.5 trillion U.S. dollars, and countless funds fled.

At this time, Tianlong Investment Bank held a press conference in BJ, announcing the launch of multiple financial businesses such as asset management business and securities investment. Lindsay personally attended the press conference.

By the end of September, the amount of funds invested in Tianlong Investment Bank reached more than 2 trillion U.S. dollars. The scale of funds controlled by Tianlong Investment Bank has reached 4 trillion U.S. dollars, and since then, there has been a steady flow of funds.

Tianlong Investment Bank's behavior exacerbated the decline of U.S. stocks, but it has truly become one of the world's top investment banks. Together with Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs, and Merrill Lynch, it is also known as the world's four largest investment banks.

On this day, the night before National Day, guests came to the Zhao family. Mr. Zhu came to see Zhao Dong's four children and have dinner. In fact, there were some important things to talk about.

Zhao Dong had previously reported a problem to the superiors through Lindsay's mouth. There were several problems that needed to be taken precautions in advance.

Nowadays, many companies have received funds from Tianlong Investment Bank and have acquired many companies abroad. Their technology has also made great progress and has begun to develop. This is the first problem, which has begun to appear.

"After the senior management acquires the company's shares, it is privatization. This evolution must be controlled. I suggest that the top management should pay attention to this issue."

Zhao Dong said very seriously.

"The senior management acquires the company's shares?" Zhu always heard this for the first time.

Lindsay added: "Several companies have already applied, and Tianlong Investment Bank has also received such applications. Their only purpose is to use various means, including various financial means, to kick out state-owned assets and complete privatization .”

Zhao Dongdao: "Mr. Zhu, Lindsay and I have donated nearly 20 billion U.S. dollars of private shares in the U.S. stock market to the country and founded Tianlong Investment Bank, so we will never sit back and watch these assets be privatized in various ways.

Mr. Zhu, I hope the authorities will not disappoint us. "

Lindsay added: "The second problem is finance. Some companies have mobilized a hundred times or even tens of millions of times of capital through repeated financial operations with a very small amount of principal. The risks involved are uncontrollable and have a great impact on the country." It's quite unsafe.

And this question is closely related to the first question. It is through this method that they prepare funds for themselves to swallow up equity. "

The meeting at Zhao's house lasted until late at night, and the result was satisfactory to Zhao Dong and Mr. Zhu. Mr. Zhu promised to study these issues carefully.

Zhao Dong and the two also believe this is the case, because Tianlong Investment Bank is now too important to the country, far more than a hundred times more important than those so-called entrepreneurial reformers, and their attitude towards them is very high.

In addition, Zhao Dong and Lindsay made a formal commitment to transfer part of Tianlong Investment Bank's equity to the country after the country develops in the future.

The state currently owns 30% of Tianlong's equity, and will hold more than 50% of the shares in the future, achieving state control.

To be honest, Tianlong Investment Bank holds too much equity in important state-related group companies. Now these companies have not developed. When they really develop in the future, one by one becomes an industry giant, then he will feel hot. , so it’s better to let it go.

He and Lindsay's personal assets are now countless. A large amount of foreign funds have entered Tianlong Investment Bank. Just the handling fees and other items charged are too weak to collect, let alone future dividend income. In the future, the country will develop and they will succeed. Retreating is the best option.

On October 6, the Chinese Academy of Sciences rejected Lenovo's management's application to acquire the company's shares, and with the support of Tianlong Investment Bank, decided to invest heavily in continuing to develop Academician Ni's chip project, and adjusted the management, transferring Mr. Lao Niu to Leaving Lenovo.

This company was originally a 100% subsidiary of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Last year, Tianlong Investment Bank invested heavily and acquired 40% of the equity, but the controlling stake is still in the hands of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

This is what was agreed with Mr. Zhu at the beginning. The controlling rights of all important group companies are in the hands of the state.

After Zhao Dong learned the news, he felt relieved.

At present, the gap between the level of domestic stamen development and that of foreign countries is not as big as that of later generations. If we continue to develop for more than ten years, this gap can be completely made up.

Time goes on, the new season begins, and Zhao Dong’s family returns to the United States again.

The Blazers management did a lot of work and basically maintained the lineup. Only Marion left as the main player, but Richardson took his place and the lineup was not destroyed.

Before the start of the season, Zhao Dong also hoped that the system would issue tasks, but he was not able to do so, which was a bit disappointing.

However, he still devoted himself fully to the regular season, fought hard to win, and tried his best to win every game.

If he continues to win the championship this season, he will get the fourth system reset fragment and can change jobs, so he will not have much time to stay in the NBA.

Of course, maybe he will play one more season and leave a dynasty in the Trail Blazers. That would be the most satisfactory.

When the time came in 2002, the U.S. stock market had fallen below 1,800 points and was still falling.

The Blazers' record is the same as last season, ranking first in the league.

In the 20102 season, the Trail Blazers competed with the Nets and Lakers, three championship-level teams, for hegemony. Overall, the Trail Blazers were the strongest.

Although the Lakers have strengthened some positions, the depth of the lineup is still not as good as that of the Trail Blazers. Then David Robinson has aged another year and his strength continues to decline. The super center combination is not as strong as last year, which also affects the Lakers' dominance at the basket. .

O'Neal has entered his thirties, weighs as much as 150 kilograms, and still has the most terrifying basket dominance in the league, but in fact he is already in his final peak period.

When he met Zhao Dong, he was unlucky. So far, he has no hard honors and is truly empty-handed.

Kobe has also begun to reach his peak, but because of Zhao Dong, the Lakers' current style of play is heavily focused on the low post and the basket. His tactical role is not as good as in his previous life. This has increased the conflict between him and the team and O'Neal. He hopes Gain a higher tactical status.

As for the Nets, although the boss has invested huge sums of money, the market is too small, which limits the team's development. The bench and outside reinforcements are limited, and they cannot shake the Trail Blazers and Lakers. Their strength is actually half a level weaker.

At the end of February, Hongyuan Club in Dongguan suddenly received a notice from the Basketball Management Center that afternoon, asking Yi Jianlian from the youth team to go to the United States to participate in the Nike International Training Camp.

Yi Jianlian had previously received an invitation to Adidas’ upcoming training camp in New Jersey, and now Nike has also invited. The management of Hongyuan Club judged that because Nike is related to Zhao Dong, Nike’s invitation went directly through the Basketball Management Center, so it should be Zhao Dong asked Yi Jianlian to go to the United States.

They even think that Zhao Dong should want Yi Jianlian to play in the NCAA, just like Yao did back then.

They had originally planned to let Yi Jianlian join the first team and play in the professional league in 0203.

At that time, Dayao was also preparing to enter the first team of the Sharks, but was arranged by Zhao Dong to go to the NCAA. The same should be the case for Yi Jianlian now.

This of course makes them very conflicted, because they have been training Yi Jianlian for two years and are very optimistic about Yi Jianlian. If he goes to the United States, he will probably never come back.

But now Zhao Dong is eyeing Yi Jianlian, and they really can't stop it, because Yi Jianlian, like Yao back then, does not have a professional contract and is not a professional player. If he wants to leave, he can leave, and at most he will pay one The training fee cannot be kept by force.

The matter was handed over to Chen Haitao, general manager of Hongyuan. He is the son of the chairman of Hongyuan Group and can also be regarded as Hongyuan's boss.

The results of the Hongyuan team in the past two years have not been good, sixth and seventh, with no way to compete for the championship. To be honest, he does not want to let go of the UAE, which has shown great potential.

However, Zhao Dong's status in the domestic sports world is too high. If he does not release him, it will be difficult for Zhao Dong and the basketball management center to deal with it, and it will also be difficult to face the pressure of external public opinion.

"Director Liu, please tell the truth, can Xiao Yi come back?" After thinking about it, he contacted Liu Yumin directly and asked directly.

"hehe!"

Liu Yumin couldn't help laughing when he heard Hongyuan's question, and then explained: "Zhao Dong has that idea. He hopes Xiaoyi will play in the NCAA."

Chen Haitao sighed in his heart, feeling very helpless.

"Mr. Chen, please support me. It is not easy to produce a good young talent in China. Now Liu Yudong and his generation of players are slowly retiring, and we need new forces. Our center will also make up for Hongyuan's contribution through other methods. . Our college league will also start the draft next year, and more new players will enter the CBA."

Liu Yumin said sincerely.

"CBA draft?"

Chen Haitao was startled. He had not heard the news yet.

In the end, he had no choice but to agree and let him go directly without any conditions. This gave the Basketball Management Center and Zhao Dong enough face. There was no difficulty in getting in touch with him, and he didn't ask for a penny in compensation. Short of that little money.

After Yi Jianlian learned the news, he was almost crazy with joy.

He really wanted to go to the United States to play in the NCAA like Dayao, and he had even been making preparations, such as learning English, etc. Unfortunately, he never had the chance, but he didn't expect that Zhao Dong had already paid attention to him.
