Chapter 354 The New Season
Lindsay smiled and said: "The only function of financial derivatives is to transfer money from the pockets of others and other countries to your own pockets through this financial tool. It is harmful to the development of the real economy.

For example, the derivatives I made were specially developed to deal with Feilong Sports' competitors. "

Mr. Zhu was startled, looked up and laughed.

Lindsay added: "Finance is undoubtedly very important to the development of a country, but it really shouldn't over-develop this industry. Taking the United States as an example, in the next ten or 20 years, both capital and manpower will be tilted towards the financial industry, ignoring the real The economy is dominated by the financial and consumer industries, and the disadvantages of over-development of the financial industry will be highlighted."

Mr. Zhu nodded thoughtfully. Although Lindsay is very young, about the same as his granddaughter, but he is a giant on Wall Street. What this kind of person says, his attitude is very cautious, otherwise he would not ask Lindsay to do it. Advisor to the negotiating team.

Lindsay continued: "But not over-developing the financial industry does not mean that a country's financial security is not important. If it is not taken seriously, the country will become a cash machine for financial hegemons."

Mr. Zhu nodded with a serious look on his face.

A financial crisis sweeping across Asia has set back the economies of Southeast Asia and East Asia for at least 20 years. This is the power of finance, and he deeply agrees with Lindsay's words.

Lin Saidao: "Mr. Zhu, after our country's accession to the WTO in the future, the first step is to strive to build the largest factory in the world and establish the largest industrial system. The second step is to establish a group of core high-tech enterprises and strive to To establish a high value-added industrial system, we have already planned these two steps and have already begun to do them. But there is another very important point. We don’t have the strength to do it now, but we must have a plan and we must do it in the future. Do it, otherwise we will be very passive in the future.”

"Oh?" Mr. Zhu stared at Lindsay and asked, "Tell me."

Lindao: "Pricing power."

"Pricing power?" Mr. Zhu was taken aback.

Lin Saidao: "To build a world factory, we must import a huge variety of resources from all over the world, but who owns the pricing power of these resources now? What price do they say, we have no other choice but to agree."

Mr. Zhu nodded thoughtfully, motioning for Lindsay to continue.

Lindsay added: "Similarly, when we are a buyer's market, the seller sets the price. When we have built the largest factory in the world and exported a large amount to foreign countries, and we are a seller's market, who has the final say on the pricing power? "

"Or the Western world?" Mr. Zhu said.

Lindsay nodded and said, "Yes, whether we are in a buyer's market or a seller's market, we have no pricing power, so we buy very expensive and sell very cheaply. Even if we have the largest factory in the world, we earn the least. "

"Pricing power?" Mr. Zhu murmured.

Lindao: "Pricing power, which involves many factors, commodity trading is a very important factor, but we do not have a commodity trading market."

"So there is no pricing power." Mr. Zhu nodded and said.

Lindao: "It is not good for financial derivatives to develop too much, but some are needed, such as futures. There are many derivatives such as futures, such as stock index futures. These derivatives are financial speculators created to hedge speculative risks. tool.

When we speculators may face risks in the stock market, we will use hedging tools to prevent risks.

In bulk futures trading, it can determine the pricing power to a large extent.

In China, the current futures trading market has just developed, and it is far from the possibility of pricing. "

Mr. Zhu nodded and said: "The Zhengzhou grain spot market was established in 1990, and later the futures mechanism was gradually introduced. In [-], the Shenzhen Nonferrous Metals Exchange was established. It is true that it has not yet developed."

Lindsay said at this time: "Mr. Zhu, we have the confidence to discuss the content of this negotiation. I told the media that China needs the world, but the world also needs China, and the United States also needs China."

"Then, have a good talk with them." President Zhu nodded.

Lin Saidao: "Mr. Zhu, on the [-]st, I will issue another recruitment order on behalf of Tianlong Investment Bank to recruit investment funds equivalent to those in Europe in the United States. Among them are a group of Wall Street funds supported by the American consortium behind these funds. In this way, we will The confidence will be greater."

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Mr. Zhu is very happy. Last year, the country's total foreign exchange reserves were less than 3000 billion U.S. dollars. Now that Tianlong Investment Bank is in place, it has doubled in one go, which will greatly accelerate the country's economic development.

On the 29th, U.S. stocks continued to increase in volume, and the signs of a bull market were very obvious.

On this day, China's bilateral negotiations on accession to the WTO also began.

At 9 o'clock this morning, Zhao Dong came to the training base, followed by a storm investment broker and his assistant.

"Boss."

Seeing Zhao Dong coming in, Danny Fortson immediately took the lead and shouted.

Zhao Dong nodded, first greeted the management and coaching staff, and then said to the surrounding teammates: "Let me introduce, this is Gruul, from Storm."

"Oh hoo!"

The Knicks players suddenly understood and couldn't help cheering.

Gruul took the silver-white suitcase from the assistant's hand, opened it, took out a stack of investment recruitment contracts, and handed it to Zhao Dong.

"One per person, 100 million limit, open-end fund, you decide how much to invest. After signing, deposit money within 24 hours, otherwise the contract will be invalidated."

Zhao Dong raised the contract and said with a smile.

"Boss, give it to me quickly."

Fortson stretched out his big hand and grabbed the contract.

"Boss, I..."

John Wallace, who returned to the Knicks again, asked anxiously and with great anticipation.

"I have them all, go and get them." Zhao Dong smiled.

"Thank you boss."

Not only John Wallace, but several other players shouted excitedly.

These are a few role players, but as long as they enter the Knicks, Zhao Dong thinks they are his brothers, so they all prepare the same share.

The coaching staff and management next to him were a little envious, but it's a pity they didn't get this opportunity.

Barkley took a contract, didn't even look at it, and signed his name with a few strokes of a big brush.

He chose the highest amount of 100 million, but he had some thoughts, took the contract and approached Zhao Dong, and asked in a low voice with a smile on his face: "Feilong, give me some more. Didn't Mrs. Lindsay just issue a recruitment order?"

"Invite me to dinner tonight, the best restaurant." Zhao Dong laughed softly.

"OKOK." Barkley smiled instantly.

"Fatty is not bad... Hey, isn't that right, Fatty?"

Zhao Dong looked at Barkley, frowned, and asked, "Charles, how much do you weigh?"

Barkley said with some embarrassment: "270 pounds."

"20 pounds heavier? What should your nickname be now, Flying Pig?" Zhao Dong asked curiously.

"I can fly at 270 pounds." Barkley said a little angrily.

"You've got it, I think you won the championship, so let yourself go? You haven't got the ring yet."

Zhao Dong said dissatisfied.

Barkley said awkwardly: "Don't worry, Feilong, I'll lose weight right away, right away."

"Bring it."

Zhao Dong stretched out his big hand in front of Barkley.

"what?"

Barkley doesn't feel good.

Zhao Dong grabbed the contract in Barkley's hand and said, "Before losing weight, cancel your investment quota. Also, don't invite me to dinner."

"Huh?" Barkley was extremely frustrated.

Zhao Dong looked at the others, raised the contract in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Listen up, everyone. Barkley is a role model. If anyone is like him, he will not take the new season seriously. If you don't manage the offseason well." Weight, no hard work in training, no hard work in competition, no aggressiveness towards the championship, no one is eligible to get the investment quota from me.

In addition, Barkley is the first one. I will give him a chance. If there is another person like him, I will ask the team to trade him immediately. He does not deserve to stay in this great dynastic team. "

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, you looked at me, I looked at you, no one thought that Barkley, the superstar, would be killed by the boss as a chicken in the competition.

"Do you understand everything?" Zhao Dong shouted sharply.

"Understood." Everyone shouted loudly.

The management and coaching staff are extremely satisfied with the unexpected situation. With such a leader, the locker room will be extremely stable.

A team, no matter what the lineup is, the locker room must be stable first, otherwise there will be no strong lineup, and it will definitely fall apart.

Zhao Dong continued: "In the past three seasons, we have established a great dynasty, so some people are proud and slack, but I want to tell you that in the new season, my goal is still the championship, and for the Do everything possible.

Which, I mean anyone, including Barkley..."

Barkley's face was bloodshot, and he secretly scolded Feilong, you are endless, enough is enough, I am also a superstar after all, if you mess with me like this, I will lose all face.

"Anyone who dares to hinder me from winning the championship will be purged. I will never tolerate him." Zhao Dong's stern roar continued, shocking everyone present.

After training for a full 5 minutes, Zhao Dong wasted a liter of saliva before giving up.

He looked back at Barkley, the fat man's face was pale, with despair on his face.

"Changing clothes, our New York Gentlemen are back."

He snapped his fingers, and several of his bodyguards walked in with some suitcases and placed them in front of everyone.

"Charles, come with me."

Zhao Dong pulled Barkley aside.

"Feilong, I lost all face today." Barkley said with an aggrieved expression.

Zhao Dong snorted coldly: "As a superstar, your performance in the offseason disappointed me too much. A championship will make you fall."

Barkley suddenly became depressed again, hesitating and speechless.

Zhao Dongdao: "What you should do is set an example, not a negative example. If you don't understand, then I'm very disappointed."

"Don't worry, I will regain my weight soon." Barkley said dejectedly.

An hour later, the Knicks held a press conference for the new season.

All the Knicks players have changed into the custom suits prepared by Zhao Dong for them, and put on the cool black sunglasses, incarnate as the New York Gentlemen.

This time, there was one more item, each with a gentleman's top hat on his head.

"Crack clap..."

One or two hundred media cameras flashed frantically at this group of gentlemen for a long time.

"Flying Dragon, what is the goal of the Knicks in the new season?" The first question was team reporter Thomas.

"Defending the title." Zhao Dong asked briefly.

"Feilong, the Knicks' lineup this season is obviously weaker than last season. Is your main position inside or outside?"

The second questioner was the team reporter, Yang Yi from CCTV.

"I'm mainly inside." Zhao Dong said.

"Feilong, may I ask how much of Storm's recruitment has been completed this time?"

The third question was from the New York Times, who actually asked a question that had nothing to do with the Knicks.

"next."

At this time, the Knicks' media day for the new season, Zhao Dong certainly would not answer such questions that have nothing to do with the Knicks.

The New York Times reporter reluctantly handed over the microphone in his hand.

The host was about to turn over the fourth reporter's card, when he saw a reporter raising his hand very actively, and looked at the name of the media, hey, Wall Street Journal, how did you get in here?Was it someone from the Propaganda Department who took your tip?

He didn't dare to turn over the reporter's card, so he ordered a reporter from the New York Sports News. The person took the mic from the staff and immediately asked, "Feilong, the U.S. stock market has continued to rise in volume recently. Does Mrs. Lindsay think the bear market will really come?" ?”

Zhao Dong rolled his eyes, and asked helplessly: "I said, you are the sports newspaper, not the Wall Street Journal, and not the New York Business Journal. You have mistaken your major?"

The reporter also said helplessly: "But at present, this is the most concerned issue in the entire United States, and even the whole world. It attracts more attention than the new season of the NBA."

"Feilong, give me some news, we need it very much." Several reporters shouted at the same time.

The Knicks management is also very helpless, and the Knicks have almost turned into a stormy press conference.

Zhao Dong shook his head helplessly again, and after thinking about it, he said: "Lindsay's attitude has been told to you a long time ago, and her attitude has not changed until today. If you invest in US stocks, then you can do it yourself .”

The reporter got off topic, the press conference ended after half an hour.

99/00赛季将在11月2号开始，30号这天，ESPN公布了新赛季的总冠军猜想。

As a dynastic team, although the Knicks have replaced more than half of the lineup, they still rank first in the championship probability list, with a probability of winning as high as 51%.

Ranked second is the Spurs, which reached the finals last season. The Spurs are extremely powerful. They strengthened their outside lines during the offseason and are more competitive in the new season. With the Knicks' decline in strength, the probability of winning is as high as 45%. %.

In fact, if the Knicks are not the defending team, ESPN is more optimistic about the Spurs.

Ranked third is the Lakers, O'Neal partnered with Daben, the weakness of the inside line was made up, and the offense and defense of the inside line reached a balance. Except for the slightly weaker No. 44 position, the Lakers can be called a five-star luxury team. They are the most perfect lineup among the top three. The most balanced team has a [-]% chance of winning.

In fact, if it were not for the record in the playoffs last season, ESPN would place the Lakers at No.1.

The fourth to fifth places are the Philadelphia Digital Team and the Pacers, and the chances of winning the championship are all below 40%.

This is the team in the first tier, and there are five teams in the second tier, namely the Bulls, Heat, Nets, Trail Blazers, and Suns.

Immediately after the announcement of the prediction list, the Mavericks' new boss Jordan was dissatisfied. He complained to the media: "We have John Stockton, Michael Finley, rising star Dirk, and All-Star small forward Sebastian." Rose, with the main center of the championship, our strength is not weak, we have the strength of the first-tier team, and we will regret it if we underestimate us."

His complaint, although ESPN did not adjust the ranking, but it really got some voices of support.

Zhao Dong stood up and commented on the strength of the Mavericks. He said: "In the new season, the Mavericks will have no problem entering the playoffs. It will become a different kind of team and will bring troubles to many teams."

"Look, active No. 1 supports my point of view, ESPN, hurry up and adjust your unprofessional rankings."

With Zhao Dong's support, Jordan's attitude became even more arrogant.

Active No.1 and past tense No.1 teamed up and immediately had an impact. ESPN revised the ranking overnight and put the Mavericks into the second-tier team, ranking behind the Heat and ahead of the Nets.

Jordan is satisfied. The reason why he wants to fight for this is because the relationship is very important.

Because the number of national live broadcasts for the new season will be finalized tomorrow, which is related to direct economic interests. If the Mavericks are underestimated, then there must not be many national live broadcasts. Now they have entered the ranks of the second-tier teams. Definitely helps the Mavericks get more national coverage.

Sure enough, on the last day of October, the league announced the number of live broadcasts for each team in the United States for the new season.

The Knicks rank first, with 68 live broadcasts across the United States, 41 home games have national live broadcasts, and only [-] away games do not. This shows that the NBA's major TV broadcasters favor the Knicks.

The Lakers ranked second with 53 games, and the Bulls ranked third with 51 games.

Jordan's Mavericks won 37 national games, ranking 29th among 8 teams.

The Nets, where Dayao works, got 33 national live broadcasts, and the attention is not bad. If the Mavericks hadn't stepped in, they would have gotten a little more national live broadcasts.
