Chapter 622 621. Excited Investment Opportunity
Liu Mang said he was "honored" to be on the headlines lying down.
Then the one who suffered was the Celtics who came to Atlanta on the 18th to challenge the Eagles away.
On the rest day on the 17th after back-to-back games, apart from those weird online comments and the four major shooting guards teasing Liu Mang collectively, the most important and best news for the Eagles is that the swelling of Liu Mang's foot injury has completely dissipated.
Therefore, Liu Mang, who still had playing time protection in the first two games, faced the "enemy" Celtics this time, the team that was upset last time. Liu Mang played 34 minutes and scored 27 points and 12 assists on 35 of 7 shots.
However, on the 20th and 21st, they played the Warriors and Sonics back-to-back. Maybe they won too much and started to slack. These two games were very difficult for the Eagles. I got a little slack.
However, in the second game against the Sonics, the Eagles' defense immediately became very compact because of the loss to the Warriors in the previous game. However, in this game, the Eagles shot poorly again, mainly because of Liu Mang.
After playing these two games, the Eagles' record became 22 wins and 5 losses.
On December 12, the last game before the Christmas game, the Eagles finally ushered in an explosion after two stinking games. Facing the Bulls, Liu Mang made 23 of 20 shots and blasted Hinrich to pieces. He scored 14 points and led the Eagles to easily defeat the Bulls 33-109, improving their record to 80 wins and 23 losses.
……
……
"Uncle, this, this, and this, here...wow, Dinah likes it so much..."
"But, Dinah, we are giving it to someone else. What use do you like?"
"Dinah is also a child. If Dinah likes it, other children will like it too!"
"Are you sure other kids will like this jigsaw puzzle with more than 1 small pieces?"
"Most definitely!"
"as long as you are happy!"
In the children's toy section of the supermarket, Liu Mang looked at the shopping guide whose face was all smiles, and the pile of toys around the shopping guide that probably couldn't fit in the pickup truck, and the little loli who was still picking, his heart was bleeding.
Today is Christmas Eve, and it is already the third Christmas in the NBA. Liu Mang laments how time flies. Seeing Dinah, who has turned 9 years old a few days ago, she almost feels slim.
The Eagles are now a popular team in the league. With so much money earned, they naturally have to take their due responsibilities. For example, the players have to contribute to the community and send some gifts to people in the slums. Liu Mang is responsible for giving toys to the children.
Liu Mang didn't know what to give, so he brought Dinah along to buy gifts together.
Dinah was very happy to hear this, and almost emptied the toy section of the supermarket until she saw that the pickup truck couldn't fit it, so she reluctantly left.
Liu Mang spent more than 3 US dollars to check out with heartache, and then sent the gift to the Eagles in Phillips Arena who were responsible for receiving the gift and the team staff who recruited college student volunteers to play Santa Claus to give gifts tonight.
The staff of the team were dumbfounded when they saw Liu Mang's pile of gifts full of pickup trucks. Other people's gifts were all meant to be counted by numbers.
……
The rest of the Eagles also came to the arena. In addition to handing over the gifts to the people in the slums to the team staff, there were also gifts from the players.
Liu Mang brought Dinah to the training ground of the arena. Most of the Eagles players were there, and they also brought some friends or family members.
Liu Mang is also a big boss now, and it's time to give gifts to the younger brothers. He and Raheem, Jason Terry, Ratliff, Stockton, Rasheed Wallace and other big bosses have prepared gifts for the role players.
What Liu Mang prepared was that no one had a Walkman, and everyone else also prepared some electronic products, such as Raheem's laptop, Rasheed Wallace's new mobile phone, and so on.
And the little girl started to ask for red envelopes everywhere again. The teammates were used to the "Chinese New Year etiquette" of Liu Mang's family. For example, Stockton, an "elderly man", gave each of his teammates a red envelope of $1000, which was simple and rude.
Looking at the stack of red envelopes in Dinah's hand, even Barnes, who still had a salary of more than 50 dollars, was "blackmailed" for 500 dollars. Liu Mang felt ashamed. If he had known, he would not have let this little loli learn traditional Chinese culture!
After the presents were delivered, the Eagles players spontaneously organized a training session about tomorrow's Christmas game against the Pistons. Today was a holiday, but the Eagles paid much attention to the Pistons, the third-ranked team in the Eastern Conference.
There are 5 Christmas games this year, and the one that kicked off is the Christmas game between the Eagles and the Pistons. The Pistons have been swept by the Eagles in the past two seasons. After Larry Brown took over the Pistons, the league felt that the game between the Pistons and the Eagles must be something to watch, so this game was arranged.
The second game was the battle between the Orlando Magic and the 76ers for the scoring title. This game was also very interesting. Iverson was the scoring champion in 01 and 02. McGrady was the scoring champion last season. The battle between the two scoring champions in the past three years is very interesting. But this year, the Magic team collapsed. Iverson of the 76ers may not come back until the end of January and early February.
The third game was the Rockets' away game against the Suns, Yao Ming and Stoudemire's traditional center and the new era center. Yao Ming has made great strides towards superstars this year, and Stoudemire also performed well. The duel of top centers is always attractive.
In the fourth game, the Timberwolves played against the Spurs at home, and the matchup between the two No. 21s continued.
The finale is the game between the Big Four Lakers and the Nets, the king of the East in the past two years, which is also worth seeing.
The Eagles players started training, and Dinah wandered around the arena with Rasheed Wallace's daughter. The two teenage girls had a lot to talk about.
……
After the training, Liu Mang took a shower, changed his clothes, and prepared to go home with Dinah. As soon as he came out of the locker room, he saw Schwartz coming with someone!
"Ace, I've been looking for you for a long time!" Schwartz walked towards Liu Mang with the young man next to him.
"Jeff, have you brought someone to try out again? Our team is not busy. I was training just now, and my phone is in the locker room," Liu Mang took out his phone. Sure enough, there were several missed calls on it, all of which belonged to Schwartz. Liu Mang shook the phone screen towards Schwartz.
Liu Mang thought that Schwartz had brought someone to try out again, and looked at the young man next to Schwartz, who looked like a college student. He was so ugly, wearing an old suit, the kind that exploded, but he looked a little familiar. Liu Mang remembered this face, and asked curiously: "Is this the undrafted pick? Too thin! Is he very talented, Jeff?"
"Oh, no, Ace, he's not here for a trial training, let me introduce you..."
Before Schwartz finished speaking, the young man next to him who looked like a college student who Liu Mang regarded as a turkey stepped up confidently and said, "It's a great honor that you, Ace, took me as a player for trial training. I like basketball very much, but as you said, I am too skinny to play in the NBA, but I can still play streetball. My name is Mark Zuckerberg, and I am a sophomore at Harvard University."
Zuckerberg tried to maintain a confident appearance on the surface, but he was very nervous inside. In the past half semester, he has been rejected by many investors. Of course, he has learned a lot from it, such as maintaining self-confidence in front of the people he wants to invest in, and being neither humble nor overbearing, otherwise he will be underestimated.
After Zuckerberg introduced himself, he smiled on the surface and looked nervously at Liu Mang, hoping to make a good impression.
But... Zuckerberg noticed that Liu Mang looked at him with strange eyes after hearing his self-introduction. He felt like he was being stared at by a hungry wolf. In this winter, he felt that the sweat in his vest had completely wet the shirt inside.
Schwartz looked at Liu Mang staring at his junior with that sizing-up look. He didn't know what Liu Mang was thinking, but his junior could help as much as he could, and this junior was indeed talented. If he had money, he would have helped. The key is that he didn't have money.
Schwartz said to Liu Mang: "Ace, let me introduce you, this is a computer genius from Harvard University..."
Liu Mang waved his hand, knowing that he accidentally saw someone as a prey again, mainly because he was too surprised, he never expected to meet Zuckerberg!
Schwartz seems to be a graduate of Harvard University's financial management and law majors many years ago, but he didn't pay attention to it before. How could he know Zuckerberg?
Schwartz saw Liu Reck waving his hand and thought that Liu Reck didn't want to hear his next introduction. He knew that Liu Reck had already seen it, and he was another college student entrepreneur who wanted to find venture capital. During the peak period of Internet development, thousands of college student entrepreneurs emerged from various top universities in the United States. There are many retired players who have gone bankrupt because they poured money into the Internet.
Schwartz glanced at Zuckerberg helplessly, and Zuckerberg felt cold in his heart. In the past few months, he has been rejected by countless "local tyrants", and there are many people who are more impatient than Liu Mang.
Just when Zuckerberg was about to say goodbye and leave in despair, he suddenly heard a word from the Chinese "local tyrant" in front of him.
"Jeff, Zach, let's go to the conference room to talk, it's not convenient here."
After Liu Mang finished speaking, he saw Rasheed Wallace who came out of the locker room after taking a shower, and said to Tianzun: "Rashid, you saw that Dinah asked her to come to the conference room to find me, thank you."
Rasheed Wallace responded and went to find his daughter. After he moved to Atlanta, his daughter and Dinah went to a school, one grade higher than Dinah, and they had a good relationship. He knew that Dinah went to play with his daughter.
Liu Mang looked at Zuckerberg, who was stunned because of the sudden turn of events, and said with a smile, "Let's go, Zach, don't you want to attract investment? Or did I get it wrong?"
Schwartz patted Zuckerberg, Zuckerberg reacted, and quickly followed Liu Mang in front.
Zuckerberg will be the super boss of the Internet in the future, but he is still a 19-year-old kid. Although he tried his best to pretend to be an adult, he was still suppressed by Liu Mang's momentum.
When Zuckerberg came to find Liu Mangla for investment and found Schwartz, the senior who gave a speech at school last time, he just wanted to give it a try, and he really had the mentality of giving it a try.
Liu Mang is a Chinese. The image of Chinese people who are unscrupulous and fussy about business and conservative about emerging industries has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the United States. Chinese people prefer to invest in real estate and other real industries. Now even black players in the NBA are unwilling to invest in the Internet. Zuckerberg does not have much hope for attracting investment from Liu Mang, a Chinese. He just gives it a try. Zuckerberg was once again disappointed.
Even Zuckerberg, the future super strongman, couldn't keep calm.
……
Zuckerberg took out his USB flash drive, adjusted his mentality, and used the projector in the Eagles conference room to play his carefully prepared slides. He introduced his "Grand Plan and Albert Plan" to Liu Mang, Schwartz, and the little loli who came in later and saw that Liu Mang had business and was sitting obediently.
Just as Liu Mang thought, Zuckerberg came to attract investment for his Facebook startup. What Zuckerberg introduced to Liu Mang now is an extremely crude version of Facebook’s design. Of course, anyone who attracts investment will draw a super pie, and Zuckerberg is no exception.
It's just that Liu Mang knows that Zuckerberg's pie will really come true in the future!
For Zuckerberg’s current initial version of Facebook, which is not designed or functional, Liu Mang did not use some advanced functions he knew to make suggestions in the future. He didn’t know if his suggestions would cause problems for the development of Facebook. After all, the current Internet equipment and information transmission technology are far inferior to the future.
Mainly because he was too excited. This is a super Internet brand with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars in the future. He put it in front of him. He tried his best to restrain his excitement. He didn't want his psychological advantage of being in the commanding heights to be at a disadvantage, so he pretended to be listening casually.
Zuckerberg finished the slide show while introducing, and then said to Liu Mang: "Ace, this is my plan, I believe I can change the lives of the entire human race!"
After listening to Liu Mang, he was silent for a while, and then asked: "Zach, how much investment do you need, what is your funding plan, and what benefits can I get."
Simple and rude, asking about his own interests very directly, Liu Mang’s being so direct, on the contrary, gave Zuckerberg a bottom line. He wanted an investor who was more interested in money than dreams. Zuckerberg was more at ease with this kind of investor. The main reason is that if he met a dreamer and messed up with the dreamer’s money, he would inevitably feel guilty in his heart.
After some discussions, Liu Mang invested 500 million US dollars!
Zuckerberg had no idea that he could get $500 million in investment!
Liu Mang asked Schwartz, who understands the law, to study the contract. He found no problem, and of course there was no problem. Zuckerberg was going crazy looking for investment, so he was in no mood to deceive people. Seeing the share transfer, Liu Mang was very satisfied and signed and stamped Zuckerberg.
Liu Mang saw Zuckerberg's signed and stamped contract, suppressed his inner excitement, and stretched out his hand and said, "Zach, I'll let Jeff give you the money, happy cooperation."
Zuckerberg also felt like he was dreaming. He actually got an investment of 500 million dollars. He could use a better server to give users a better experience and lay a better foundation at the beginning of promoting Facebook!
Zuckerberg couldn't suppress his excitement anymore, and shook hands with Liu Mang very excitedly.
……
Zuckerberg returned to Boston excitedly with the contract. He called his partner, but the partner didn't seem to believe that he could get an investment of $500 million, so he went back to celebrate with the contract.
Schwartz was surprised to see that Liu Mang invested 500 million dollars in a junior who was engaged in the Internet. He originally thought that it would be very good if he invested tens of millions of dollars.
"Ace, aren't you afraid of the dot-com bubble?" Schwartz asked after Zuckerberg left.
"Jeff, the future is the era of the Internet, your junior will definitely succeed, he will be the next Bill Gates, and he will help me make money!" Liu Mang finally couldn't help but said excitedly.
This is an Internet brand with a market value of hundreds of billions in the future!
The market value cannot represent real money, and Facebook rarely pays dividends, and after 2017, Facebook will be in a big crisis, but the small dividend is not a problem, and it will be fine if it is sold at that time!
Schwartz was noncommittal to Liu Mang’s words. There were many talented college students who claimed to be the next Bill Gates, and none of them succeeded in the end. $500 million may be a lot for Liu Mang, who earns more than 2000 million US dollars a year, but it’s not a lot. It’s far from going bankrupt. Schwartz knows that Liu Mang is not like most black athletes.
Some people have always said that it is too low to invest in buying a house in a school district, so just write and see, there will be no follow-up plot, and there is not much need, just know that investing in high-tech is enough
Anyway, just write and write, if you don’t write, some people will complain, and if you write, some will. Continue to update tomorrow, if you want to write a chapter, update tomorrow
