0399:【Cute Otaku Durant】
Money can make the devil push the mill.
The news that Li Zhen bought the Space Building for RMB 1.52 billion quickly became a hot topic in the capital.
But Li Zhen felt it was very relaxed. He didn't expect that Apple stocks easily borrowed 150 million US dollars for him. Moreover, he found that he had paid a down payment of 1 billion RMB, and he had almost 140 million RMB left. In addition to the sponsorship fees he received from Japan and South Korea, he simply threw them all into the real estate project.
In 2007, when there was no purchase restriction, he bought a building in a newly developed property on the Second Ring Road in Beijing. The house price was only over 20,000. Since Li Zhen was a famous sports star and had a strong advertising effect, the developer actually gave Li Zhen a villa on the premise that Li Zhen paid the full payment, on the condition that Li Zhen was the endorsement of the developer.
Of course, Li Zhen agreed immediately.
"I will definitely return to China to settle down, so of course I have to keep my money in China. Real estate is the most valuable thing, and I am very optimistic about the future of my motherland!"
Li Zhen said passionately at the grand signing ceremony.
To be honest, he actually didn’t 100% determine that housing prices would definitely rise. But his mind kept forming a concept: buy a house quickly, buy a house quickly!
When these thoughts circled for a long time, he naturally accomplished this thing.
Wang Shoudao was a little worried and feared, and he said, "Aren't you afraid of losing everything? Now there is a theory of China's collapse everywhere."
Li Zhen didn't know how to persuade him. This guy was brainwashed very much and always felt that it was not safe to put money in China. He didn't even want Li Zhen to give him two apartments, and would rather ask for a commission fee of 500,000 US dollars.
Li Zhen was amused and crying.
Well, everyone has their own ambitions, so let him go.
Li Zhen stayed in the capital for a week. In addition to dealing with two real estate projects with decisiveness, he also participated in many basketball promotions and commercial sponsorship activities.
After all, I am carrying more and more loans now, so I have to make some money.
In Wang Shoudao's words, let's tighten your belt and live a hard life.
Li Zhen laughed.
Afterwards, Li Zhen went to Shanghai again.
Wang Shoudao could not understand Li Zhen's behavior at all. He finally made more than three million yuan through endorsement, but he actually bought a house in Shanghai. Then he did this in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. He never put a penny in his pocket. As soon as the sponsor's money was entered, he turned around and went to buy a house.
"I think you won't go back to China in the future."
Wang Shoudao said to Li Zhen speechlessly.
Li Zhen was too lazy to argue with him, so he just told him to arrange domestic companies and rent out the office buildings quickly. These residences also need to be managed by special companies. Whether they can become landlords in the future depends on these real estates.
Wang Shoudao shook his head helplessly. The Grade A office building that Li Zhen bought is now overwhelmingly with a rent of 20 US dollars per square meter per month. It just crossed out the monthly loan and management expenses, and there was no profit at all.
Although the developers promised to renovate the properties simply, can they be rented out at that time?
Want to be a landlord?
Wang Shoudao felt that his cousin was really unreliable, just like the real estate tycoon in New York who thought about it and it was unreliable.
Before returning to New York, Li Zhen went to Penguin headquarters. The young Li Zhen had an in-depth exchange with the founders of Tengxun. They were very interested in Li Zhen’s faebook. They were all programmers and had a very hot chat.
They were all surprised by Li Zhen's spending $1.5 million to buy Penguin stocks last year. In fact, Penguin is now in a bottleneck period of development and its income has not yet increased. Moreover, it is facing the 51 crisis.
However, Li Zhen said that he will continue to buy goods in the market. If any shareholder is willing to sell the stocks in his hands, he will acquire them all at 20% higher than the market price.
To be honest, this made at least two founders tempted, even though their shares had been diluted to small single digits.
As the company grows bigger and bigger, more and more professional managers are introduced, and the constraints received naturally increase. They are more willing to start a second business by realizing financial freedom.
Li Zhen's words had a great impact on their hearts. Although there was no cooperation at that time, Li Zhen believed that the communication methods left by each other would definitely have an effect on one day soon.
...
It was June 28 when Li Zhen arrived in New York.
He originally planned to go directly to Los Angeles and then go to Las Vegas to participate in the filming.
However, Ms. Anne Wang insisted on letting Li Zhen participate in her first fashion show. Designer Wang has officially launched her high-end customized clothing brand. Although she is not famous yet, she is very confident in her design philosophy. She believes that one day, the upper class in the world will be proud and proud of owning an Anne Wang brand clothing.
Li Zhen verbally expressed his deep belief in this.
...
The 2007 draft is scheduled to be held at the Madison Garden Arena on June 29.
This is an annual event.
Li Zhen was not interested in participating in it at first, but Isaiah Thomas had to mysteriously pull Li Zhen into the draft war room. This made Li Zhen a little confused: "Is it necessary for us to only have the No. 23 draw to do such draft trading?"
Isaiah Thomas laughed, it’s important to participate!
Thomas, who has taken off the heavy responsibility of head coaching, is now more and more letting himself go. Today, he actually wears a suit and wig paying tribute to Elvis. People who don’t know think he is going to dance there to disco. He has always been the brightest cub when entering Madison Garden.
I really don’t know what James Dolan owed him in his previous life, but he tolerated him so much and gave him a high salary, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.
"We are focusing on the head coach's candidates, Huby Brown and D'Antoni. Which one do you think is more suitable for us?" Isaiah Thomas asked Li Zhen this way when the draft was about to begin.
Li Zhen frowned, and he kept silent.
"By the way, we've decided to hire your college head coach Jamie Lin as our assistant coach. I know you'll be happy to hear this news," Isaiah Thomas continued.
This is indeed good news.
"I'm really happy for Jamie." Li Zhen said with a smile.
At this time, the two met the quasi-loto rookies who were preparing to go to the front row, known as members of the Green House and were able to get a table under David Stern's podium.
Each of their faces was full of expectations and longing, and the family and friends around them were filled with unconcealed smiles and joy. Tonight for them was the beginning of reaching the peak of their lives, or the beginning of becoming a top parasite.
Behind almost every NBA player there is one or even multiple families that depend on him to survive.
There are also many players like Iverson who rely on their personal abilities to support the entire neighborhood.
This is why NBA now provides concentrated training for rookies after every year's draft. The content of concentrated training is roughly how to manage finances and how to prevent bankruptcy.
However, few people can listen.
Even when news of Li Zhen buying houses in China and investing in Internet companies came back to the United States, most players' attitudes were ridiculous and contempt.
Why did he bear so many loans? Why didn’t he enjoy so much money? Why didn’t he have no sense of risk at all?
The biggest difference between blacks and yellow people in financial management is probably that blacks enjoy themselves in time, while yellow people have known that autumn harvest and winter storage since ancient times.
but.
"Your investment has been too risky recently." Even Isaiah Thomas persuaded Li Zhen this way. He believed that the investments Li Zhen made were all high-risk... If you have money to buy buildings in China, why not buy New York? Is the potential of the world's largest country not as good as that developing country?
"Hey, boys. Welcome to the NBA. It's great that the league has you fresh blood."
The Smiling Assassin quickly switched to the man-in-crazy mode, and he slapped the rookies one by one.
The rookies are also happy to shake hands with this 'notorious' boss. Anyway, Jordan is not here, so there is no need to choose one of them.
In contrast, Li Zhen seemed much more restrained. He just smiled and nodded to these rookies who passed by.
But soon, he hit a wall of flesh.
Durant's mother, who hurried over to try to take a place for her son, staggered Li Zhen at that time.
The black woman, who was comparable to O'Neal's size, did not apologize and rushed over.
This made Durant, who was very thin and as thin as a pork rib, feel quite sorry. He hurried over to apologize to Li Zhen.
Of course, Li Zhen chose to forgive her.
"However, I don't think those NBA managers will worry about your confrontation anymore, if they've seen your mother." Li Zhen said to Kevin Durant, who looks thinner than himself.
Durant smiled, with an honest aura, but there was still a little vulgarity invisibly... just like an otaku who squatted at home playing with computers every day.
This image... is really difficult to connect with those superstars with their own aura and in their prime.
However, this guy is very down-to-earth.
He asked Li Zhen: "Are you and Leonardo really planning to sweep the whole of Hollywood?"
ah?
Li Zhen was surprised. He didn't expect that this pride of heaven who was killing all directions would still like gossip so much.
"I have a heartless request. Can you let Scarlett Johansson go? She is my goddess." Durant asked sincerely.
Li Zhen smiled helplessly. What is this?
He reached out to pat Durant on the shoulder: Don't worry, your goddess is safe.
Durant quickly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "When I enter the NBA, I will show mercy to you. Although you eliminated Longhorn University last year."
Li Zhencai remembered that Xiao Du was Aldridge's junior.
"Let's just say such nonsense when you learn to dribble." Li Zhen gave him annoyed look and said goodbye to him.
Then, he met Yi Jianlian again.
At the request of Chinese journalists, the two took a group photo.
A Lian is a very restrained person and has no friendship before, so the two sides just exchanged a few greetings and separated.
Lee Zhen and Isaiah Thomas went to the exclusive lounge in Madison Garden, where the Knicks will be responsible for all the draft and trade tonight.
"Superonics want to rebuild around Durant. So, we want to get Ray Allen tonight."
The moment I walked into the war room, Isaiah Thomas suddenly turned around and said to Li Zhen.
Li Zhen was really shocked.
Ah Ray Allen!!!
