Chapter 357 The future bosses of the NBA(1/2)
The renewal of Chen Xiao and Bobcats is progressing very smoothly.
Because Chen Xiao and Jordan both have the same goals.
Because Jordan believes that Chen Xiao is the same person as him and will never be a deserter without achieving his goal.
So, for him and Bobcats, even if Chen Xiao requested a sign for one year, Jordan would be willing.
So Jordan and Bobcats had no conflict with this 3+2 contract.
At the same time, on Chen Xiao's contract, Bobcats and Jordan gave Chen Xiao all the privileges.
For example, the most famous privilege is the right to trade.
However, the veto power of the transaction that Bobcat gave Chen Xiao was rejected by the alliance.
Because the league stipulates that players must be required to play in the league for eight years and four years on the current team. Only players who meet this requirement can add a trade veto clause to the contract with the team.
Therefore, in history, there are very few players who have this right, and the most famous one is Kobe.
Although Chen Xiao does not meet the official veto clause of the transaction, Chen Xiao's contract can basically be said to have the rights of all aspects of the team, which is more domineering than the official veto clause of the transaction.
I have to say that Boss Qiao is really sincere.
After signing with Bobcats, Chen Xiao will conduct a tour of China this summer with Jordan.
Because Chen Xiao joined Bobcats, it is impossible for Nike to miss this opportunity in China.
In history, Jordan's trip to China was very ugly.
But this time, it must be different.
By the way, in addition to cooperating with Hook's trip to China this time, Chen Xiao's return to China is to play in the Asian Championships.
2005 is the year of the Asian Championships. As the highest-level game in Asia, NBA players such as Chen Xiao, Dayao, roughly, Bago, Alian, and Zhu Fangyu will participate.
The Chinese team has re-discussed the Asian Games or other events and will not send all the main players to lead the team. Chen Xiao just needs to bring a bunch of young players to participate.
As the Olympic champion, all the main players are participating in secondary intercontinental competitions such as the Asian Games and National Games, which is too ugly.
It has to be said that the 2004 Olympic champion has indeed greatly promoted the Chinese basketball industry.
Because I had the task of returning to China for the Asian Championships, Chen Xiao and Yao went back together.
Yao Yao brought Wade with him.
Wade, who was always disliked by Nike, eventually signed a contract with domestic sports brand Li Ning.
To be honest, Li Ning gave it really much, and Wade's popularity in China is indeed very high, much higher than that in the United States.
After all, Yao Ming’s closest teammate.
However, before returning to China, Chen Xiao took Yao and Wade to Los Angeles.
Because Facebook needs to ask Chen Xiao about the company's second round of financing.
The money Chen Xiao and James invested last year has been burned out, and Facebook’s current valuation has reached 200 million. Facebook is preparing to take out 13.7 shares for the second round of financing, preparing to raise 27.4 million US dollars.
Of these, US$13.7 million has been subscribed by Silicon Valley venture capital company Ael, accounting for 6.85% of the shares.
The remaining 6.85, led by Chen Xiao and James, two major shareholders, are interested in Wade, Yao Yao, Ji Ge, Xiao Tiantian, Xiao Pao, Ke Boss, Jia Boss, and Luo Ge.
To be honest, Facebook has now entered a period of rapid development. According to the investment company's evaluation, Facebook's valuation will exceed 500 million at this time next year, so now, Facebook is really not short of money as long as it raises funds.
If you don’t have connections, you can’t get shares even if you have money.
The reason why Facebook is going to go public in Silicon Valley is that it needs its help.
And Ge and the others were able to join because of the help of Chen Xiao and James.
In the end, Xiao Tiantian and Xiao Pao, because of their shortage of cash, each invested 500,000 US dollars to subscribe to 0.25% of Facebook equity.
Gigo, Wade and Kazakh, the three of them invested 1 million US dollars and subscribed 0.5%.
He is very interested in investment. He has invested a lot in Silicon Valley in Los Angeles, but he is very courageous. He paid 2 million US dollars to subscribe to 1%.
Luo Ge also invested 2 million US dollars to subscribe to 1%.
The richest among these people is undoubtedly Yao Yao, who did 2.85% of them alone, which is 5.7 million US dollars!
"I just recognized 2%. The remaining 0.85 is Bago, Dawang, Ah Lian, Xiaozhu's. In fact, Xiaozhu's 425,000 US dollars was borrowed from Xiao Chen."
Well, that's true. Bago, Dawang, Ah Lian and Xiaozhu each subscribed 0.2125% of Facebook shares.
To be honest, in the NBA, many people are keen on investing, and not everyone is wasted after getting the money. There are still many players who have plans for their future.
The most famous example is Durant, who was later called Xiaoshuai.
This kid is simply an investment madman.
Iguodala earned more money in the Warriors' investments in the Warriors than his salary.
Of course, although there are many players who have plans for their future in the NBA, there are more players who do not have plans like this.
This time, Facebook's financing conference once again introduced a group of NBA stars to become shareholders, which made Facebook absolutely at an unfavorable level among the NBA audience.
NBA fans are young, and basically, as long as they are promoted, they will definitely get started.
Chen Xiao and James are now the first and second on the overall list.
So, after raising a lot of money and having a group of superstar players help promote, Facebook will once again step into the fast lane.
Of course, even without the help of Chen Xiao and others, Facebook's valuation reached 15 billion in October 2007. Two years later, the four people, Bago, Wang, Ah Lian and Xiaozhu, who own the least shares, will all become rich people with a price of more than 30 million US dollars.
In October 2007, Microsoft invested US$240 million and only received 1.6% of the shares.
If these people can take Facebook shares until 10 years later, 2015, even if Wang Gebago, who holds the least shares, will have a wealth of 500 million US dollars, they can sell them to buy NBA teams.
Of course, these people didn’t know about this at this time, because Facebook is very popular now. In a year, there were more than 6 million active users, and everyone wanted to come here to make money.
Ke Boss wanted to invest a long time ago, but he had no way to do so. He heard that Chen Xiao was the major shareholder, so he asked Chen Xiao for help.
So, after Chen Xiao helped this, Kobe invited Chen Xiao and James and his group to visit his house after being a guest, during the visit, Kobe showed off his son Al Bryant.
Well, when Chen Xiao heard this name, he always felt full of malice towards his head coach Michael Jordan.
In history, Vanessa miscarriage due to the Eagle County incident. This time, the Eagle County incident happened to Sprewell, Chen Xiao, Ke, Ji, and Xiao Zhan belonged to a group of people who had "did it too", so the baby in Vanessa's belly was very healthy and cute.
So, at the dinner, Kobe intentionally made him the godfather of Little El, but Chen Xiao decisively rejected it.
Because he doesn’t believe in religion, what kind of godfather should he be?
He is the successor of the movie. Not so good at these dregs, even idols cannot change his indestructible beliefs!
"Even if the godfather is gone, it's okay to be a godfather."
Well, in fact, Chen Xiao has become the godfather of Xiao Zhan and Wade's son. If he is the godfather of the eldest son of the Science Master, he will be the godfather of Xiao Tiantian's son in the future. In the future, Xiao Tiantian's son's godfather can be.
At that time, when these kids grow up under the cultivation of his experience card, even if he really retires, he can still be the godfather of the entire NBA superstars?
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao always felt a little terrible and laughed.
After visiting Kobe's house, Chen Xiao and his group returned to China from the United States.
When Chen Xiao, Yao Ming and his group returned to China, the whole of China was in sensation.
In the context of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team winning the Olympics in 2004 and Chen Xiao won three MVPs in the NBA in 2005, the domestic basketball atmosphere was simply described as explosive.
Not to mention Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, who are leading Chinese men's basketball team.
Even Bago, Wang Ge, Ah Lian and Xiaozhu all have incredible popularity in China.
Therefore, the photos of Chen Xiao, Yao Ming, Ba Ge, Wang Ge, A Lian and Xiaozhu who came out of Shanghai Airport were praised as the strongest group by domestic netizens on the Internet.
After returning to China, Chen Xiao and Xiaozhu only stayed in China for three days, and set off with the Chinese men's basketball team to Doha, the Asian Championships.
After coming to Doha, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming were still very popular.
If the level of Chinese players and Central Asian players is on the same level, they will also boo Chen Xiao and the others.
However, now Chen Xiao and the Chinese team are Olympic champions!
The levels of the two sides are too different, so the mentality of jealousy or being an enemy is gone, and they all become the licking dogs of Chinese teams and Chinese players.
Let’s just say that West Asia’s players really enjoy taking photos with the six Chinese NBA players.
This is a super strong team with six NBA players!
How many years does such a team appear in Doha and Central Asia happen?
Even, there has never been something that the Dream Team will not come here to play.
Besides the Dream Team, which national team can have two superstars, three All-Stars, and six NBA players?
Of course, compared with the pursuit of West Asian fans and players, the teams in East Asia have a somewhat subtle attitude towards the Chinese team.
During the game, Chen Xiao and Chinese players could clearly feel the respect of Japanese players for them and the jealousy and resentment of Korean players for them.
Good guy, especially to Chen Xiao.
Because Chen Xiao not only abused them, but also slept with their goddess, Chen Xiao didn't know how many times he was elected Nanbo Bay, the international superstar that Korean men hated the most.
Therefore, in order to repay the relationship between the Korean men's basketball team, Chen Xiao and the Chinese men's basketball team really did not give any affection when facing the Korean men's basketball team in the semi-finals of the Asian Championships.
123 to 49!
