Chapter 355 Three defenders, one goal is not enough?
On November 11, bilateral negotiations continued.

At 9:[-] in the morning, Lindsay returned to Storm Headquarters, and his opponents issued an order: "Adi, Reebok, Puma and other companies can start, activate the gambling agreement."

She discussed with Zhao Dong that these companies would not buy them anymore, so as not to trigger the monopoly law, and it would be more appropriate to keep them as competitors.

The companies that were sold to them were all planted by her with a lot of financial derivative assets. Now that the U.S. stock market has turned into a bear market, it is the best time to detonate these mines, which can severely damage companies like Adidas, and Nike And Feilong Sports can take the opportunity to seize their market share.

Three or ten minutes later, Lindsay, in his capacity as the chairman and president of Tianlong Investment Bank, suddenly announced that Tianlong Investment Bank will recruit 10 billion US dollars of closed-end investment funds in the United States, and the investment area of ​​the funds will be China.

This amount far exceeds the previous plan, because it is necessary to cooperate with this bilateral negotiation and attract a group of American capital.

At the same time, because the recruitment scale has tripled, the expansion of the US quota is also necessary, otherwise Lindsay will not be able to recruit more funds from other places.

At the same time, she once again expressed her bearishness on US stocks and her long-term optimism on China's economic development.

The news, like a hurricane, swept across the United States and the world.

After the U.S. stock market opened, it directly gapped 165 points and opened lower, and directly broke through the 5000-point mark. The selling volume was huge. Although a group of funds were supporting the market, the stock index still started to go down.

This time, Lindsay has no bargaining chips to smash the market, and the decline is the market's choice.

A lot of funds have chosen to withdraw from US stocks, and some of them are the targets of this recruitment by Tianlong Investment Bank.

Tianlong Investment Bank's recruitment of funds is different from Storm, which is an open recruitment, but Tianlong is an invitation system, and only suitable funds are invited to participate in the investment.

A small part of these funds are big names on Wall Street, and most of them are top consortiums in the United States. They have similar investment concepts.

At this time, under the influence of Lindsay, these consortiums made similar behaviors, that is, they cashed out part of the funds they invested in US stocks, so that the consortia had more liquid cash and prepared for the bear market. To prepare, the second is to prepare for the recruitment of funds for Tianlong Investment Bank.

Their actions caused a huge amount of selling orders, and these selling orders were the bargaining chips for Lindsay to smash the market this time.

She didn't have a bargaining chip herself, so she used Tianlong's opportunity to recruit funds to borrow other people's bargaining chips to smash the market.

Such a large selling order immediately formed a demonstration effect for the stock market, and even larger selling orders piled up, covering the U.S. stock market like a dark cloud, and the U.S. stock market slumped sharply.

"President, no one has taken our empty order." During the break of the negotiation, Lindsay got a report from Assistant Storm.

"That means that the bulls and the bears have reached a consensus, the bulls are dead, and the bear market has completely formed." Lin Saidao.

That night, Lindsay had to work overtime and couldn't go home, so Zhao Dong visited her at the consulate.

It happened that Mr. Zhu knew about it, so he stopped Zhao Dong and talked about the negotiation.

"The current situation is somewhat entangled. The US wants us to make more concessions, but we are still insisting. Liu Wei suggested to do so. What do you think?" Mr. Zhu asked.

He knew that Zhao Dong was the man standing behind Lindsay, and it was Zhao Dong who made the plan in Hong Kong, so he didn't ignore Zhao Dong's existence.

Zhao Dong said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, if the U.S. stock market falls sharply this time, it will be beneficial to us. A large amount of their domestic funds need our market, plus the lobbying group's lobbying. I think we should persist. Persistence is right. I I believe we can get better terms."

Mr. Zhu nodded and sighed: "If we can open a hole on the US side, it will also be beneficial to other negotiating partners. I hope we can achieve our goal."

He thought for a while, and said to Zhao Dong and Lin Sai: "You two have made great contributions, Tianlong Investment Bank, Hong Kong, and the stocks of high-quality American companies in the hands of Storm, the country should thank you! "

The stocks of the companies he mentioned, either owning industrial technology equipment or high-tech companies, will be transferred to the state in the future to expand the group companies formed, but now the state has no money, so it can only let Zhao Dong and Lindsay Holding them in their personal capacity first means that the state has taken up nearly 200 billion US dollars of their funds.

Zhao Dong smiled and said: "Mr. Zhu, the reason why my grandparents and their generation sacrificed their lives for the country and their family for everyone is not to make my grandson the richest man in the world, but to make our China strong and prosperous." Arise, let no one bully you.

So what is my little money?Not as heavy as my grandpa's arm.If the country is in trouble in the future, so what if Liu Wei and I donate the money?it's not a big deal. "

Mr. Zhu looked deeply at Zhao Dong and nodded.

After Mr. Zhu left, Zhao Dong asked Lin Sai, "Aiweier, I didn't ask you first what I said just now, what's your opinion?"

Lindsay smiled and said: "As a financial speculator, there is actually no difference between my own money and other people's money to me, because they are all under my control, so I don't care about how much money I have in my pocket." Care."

Zhao Dong laughed out loud.

What Lindsay said made sense. After the stocks of those companies were transferred to group companies in those countries, they were still managed by Tianlong Investment Bank.

Of course, there is a little difference, this is investment, not speculation.

With Lindsay's current strong appeal in the world's financial circles, she can recruit hundreds of billions of dollars in one sentence, a mere 200 billion, she really doesn't care.

Now she is focusing on the future, the economic and financial development of China as a whole, that is the real challenge, and she no longer cares about how much money she has in her pocket, it is just a number.

On Tuesday, November 11, the 2/99 NBA season officially kicked off.

The league's opening game was scheduled at Madison Square Garden, home of last season's championship Knicks, against their old enemy, the Heat.

In addition to Zhao Dong's competition, Dazhi and Hu Weidong also had competitions.

The opening game of the Knicks was broadcast live on TNT across the United States. Bill Walton analyzed before the game: "The owner of the Heat is very rich, but he didn't do much reinforcement this offseason, and the Knicks lost a lot of strength. 60 % of the championship members left the team, and the losses inside and outside were serious, but the strength of the Knicks should not be underestimated."

Matt laughed and said: "Yesterday, the U.S. stock market fell below the 5000 mark and closed at 4880 points, plummeting 4.5%, and almost broke. Today, it fell another 129 points and closed at 4751 points. 8% and $2000 trillion off the value of the U.S. stock market. Bill, how do you think this will affect the league?"

"Bosses may lose a lot of money in the stock market. For example, Mr. Mitch Larison, the owner of the Heat, the Carnival listed company of the Larison family has fallen by 11% in the past two days, and the market value has dropped tens of billions of dollars. He may Won't spend any more money on the Heat."

Bill Walton laughed jokingly.

In a VIP room at Madison Square Garden, Knicks owner James Dowland and Heat owner Mitch Arison are sitting.

The TV next to it was the TNT channel. The two also heard Bill Wharton's words and couldn't help but smile bitterly at the same time.

Both of them are the bosses of listed companies, and they also have a large investment in the stock market, but the last time the U.S. stock market plummeted, they failed to react and suffered huge losses.

However, Wall Street's funds later supported the market, and the stock market picked up again, hitting the [-] mark again.

However, the market has returned to above [-] points, which does not mean that all stocks will return to their original positions, theirs will not, and the market value lost is still as high as billions.

After that, they adopted a wait-and-see attitude, and this time, the two-day slump wiped off nearly [-]% of their net worth, and the loss exceeded the U.S. stock market. The combined losses of the two slumps made the market value of the listed company already fell by more than [-] billion.

What's more ironic is that James Dowland is Zhao Dong's boss, and Alisson specifically asked Lindsay for advice last time, but neither of them listened to Zhao Dong's and Lindsay's analysis on US stocks.

"James, is it possible to get the Storm's recruiting share from Mrs. Lindsay?" Arison asked.

Dolan shook his head and said: "The recruitment of the storm has been completed. According to Feilong, the recruitment of Tianlong is an invitation system. We have no chance to participate. We are not the funds that Mrs. Lindsay needs, and we cannot meet her requirements."

"You didn't even get a chance?" Arison asked.

Dolan said with a wry smile: "I won't talk about the storm. It's the Quantum Fund. I'm not very interested. As for Tianlong Investment Bank's recruitment funds this time, you should know something about it, right?"

Alisson nodded and said, "It's all from top consortiums."

Having said that, the two are not interested in talking any further.

A first-class consortium must be worth at least [-] billion U.S. dollars. The top-tier consortiums are even larger, and they all have a certain voice and influence in their respective industries. Their families are still a little behind the first-class consortia.

In terms of capital scale, they have not reached the standard, and in terms of industry, one of them is in the cruise business and the other is in TV media, neither of which is the industry capital that Tianlong Investment Bank needs for this recruitment, let alone the capital scale. If they did, Lindsay would not send them an invitation.

On the contrary, the owner of the Spurs is more qualified than them. If the asset size meets the requirements, Lindsay may consider inviting him, because he is a tractor manufacturer, and that thing is also technologically advanced and has a good engine.

At [-]:[-], the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Heat: Luc Longley, Alonzo Mourning, Jamal Mashburn, Voshan Leonard, Tim Hardaway

Knicks: Zhao Dong, Fortson, Sprewell, Stackhouse, Ginobili

"The old Nelson still dared to employ people, and directly let the rookie Ginobili start." In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili laughed.

Lao Zhang's partner has changed. Lao Sun commented for two seasons, but this time he stayed in Beijing and was replaced by Su Qun.

Su Qun has interviewed and reported on the NBA several times, but this is the first time as a commentator in the front-line live broadcast room. He was excited and nervous, and said with a smile: "The three guards are all people who need the ball. I think One ball is not enough for the Knicks!"

Zhang Lili laughed, and said: "Zhao Dong is on the court, the ball should go to him first, what's the problem? The Knicks are not other teams, Zhao Dong has absolute control over the locker room, if someone wants to fight for the ball , the result is either sitting on the bench or being traded."

Su Qun was startled, and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

In the player channel, the walls on both sides have been redecorated, with some patterns painted and some small light bulbs installed, it is not as dim as it used to be.

Zhao Dong looked at the strong man Mourning who was one meter away, and recalled the history of this guy. He knew that this was the last season of the opponent's super center. Starting from next season, Mourning's kidney would cause him to miss almost the entire season. Withdrew from the ranks of super centers.

Faced with Zhao Dong's indifferent stare, Mourning felt very hurt. It seemed that he felt a kind of indifference from Zhao Dong's eyes, which was a kind of humiliation to him. He couldn't help but raised his chin high. Express his inner pride.

"Are you going to let your nostrils bask in the sun? Isn't your neck tired?" Zhao Dong complained.

"Pfft!"

Several Knicks starters were all laughing.

"What's none of your business?" Mourning blushed and said angrily.

Five minutes later, David Stern gave the Knicks the championship ring of last season.

"Haha... I'm the champion!"

The one who laughed the most was Barkley, who burst into tears while holding his ring.

"Can you still wear it?" Looking at Buckley's fat fingers, Zhao Dong complained.

"Uh……"

Barkley was taken aback, he tried it, it was a bit tight, but he wanted to put on his ring very urgently, under the force, he barely got it in, but when he wanted to pull it out, he was embarrassed.

"..."

He was a little dumbfounded, and was trapped again.

"Ha ha……"

Zhao Dong and the others laughed out loud.

"I want to lose weight!"

Barkley yelled angrily.

At 08:30, the game started, Fortson jumped the ball, won Mourning, and the Knicks attacked.

"Oh, Feilong really entered the low post. This season, he will play inside. In this way, many teams in the league are relieved. They don't have to face Feilong's terrifying impact and strong outside fast break ability. "

Bill Walton laughed.

Zhao Dong was facing Mourning, Fordson led Luke Langley out, and the other three outsiders were pulled to the three-point line, leaving only the two of them facing each other in the paint.

Zhao Dong, who has more advantages in tonnage and strength, did not take advantage of these two advantages, but took advantage of a greater dislocation, that is, movement speed.

Pull it out, shake off Mourning and then rush in, when the ball-handling maniac makes a pass.

"boom!"

Flying to catch the ball, Zhao Dong faced the basket with a ferocious one-armed dunk with a flat basket, which ignited the flames of the 99/00 season.

"Oh ho ho..."

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers from the audience, the on-site commentator roared: "The first ball in the opening game of this season, Flying Dragon and Madman hit a fierce alley-oop dunk!
Thunder-like ferocious dunks, when the rain man is gradually falling, the flying dragon is still showing the ferocity and explosiveness of the beast style.

Dragons are in charge of the Knicks inside this season, and we look forward to seeing more such brutal dunks! "

The Heat attacked, Xiao Chong made a jumper after breaking through and hit a mid-range shot.

Knicks attack.

Zhao Dong pulls out to catch the ball. At this time, Fordson who pulls out quickly starts, throws off the slow-moving Luke Langley, and enters the paint.

"boom!"

The Heat's basket was blown over again.

"Yeah... Another lob dunk, New York is about to become the city of lobs." The commentator roared excitedly again.

Turning around, Mourning caught the ball from the low position on the right wing, and when he couldn't squeeze in, he forced a hook, which was blocked by Zhao Dong's slap.

Manu Ginobili rushed down to grab the ball, Madman and Stackhouse went down quickly, and the Knicks played an outside fast break in a defensive counterattack.

Manu Ginobili made a long pass, the madman caught the ball, and after reaching the basket, he pulled it to the left wing and passed it to Stackhouse on the right wing.

"boom!"

Stackhouse caught the ball and feinted a shot, slammed into Voshan Leonard, and it was a dunk when he went to the basket.

"yeah!"

Three consecutive dunks in the opening game completely ignited the atmosphere of Madison Square Garden.

Looking back, Xiao Chong assisted Voshan Leonard and made a goal.

Knicks attack.

Fortson pulled out, but Luke Langley stopped following.

After Zhao Dong received the ball in the low post on the left wing and attracted the attention of the defense, at this time he saw that Ginobili was cutting back from the weak side, and he passed the ball.

"boom!"

Ginobili caught the ball and went to the basket in one step. Facing Luke Langley who was turning around, he made a split dunk and successfully dunked the opponent.

"It's beautiful! Today is the Knicks' first regular-season game. This is going to be crazy!" Su Qun said in surprise at the CCTV live broadcast.

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "The media thinks that the strength of the Knicks this season is not as good as last season. It is true that the Knicks have left many people, but we cannot simply think that the strength has declined.

Of course, you can't judge the strength of the Knicks based on these few goals. 82 regular season games are long. Let's draw conclusions slowly.

Three guards, Ginobili we don't know, according to his situation in Europe, he is good at breakthroughs and outside shots, and his defense is also good, and Madman and Stackhouse also have similar styles.

This season, the Knicks' outside line is very strong. I think so. The outside shooting ability and breakthrough ability are stronger than the previous two seasons. "

Looking back, the Heat's offense was unsuccessful, and the Knicks played a fast break again.

The three outsiders went straight into the frontcourt. Zhao Dong sent a long pass from the backcourt to Stackhouse in the middle.

Stackhouse caught the ball and went to the basket. After attracting the defense, he passed it to the madman who followed up on the left wing.

Bill Walton praised: "The Knicks made a good start. Dragons and Fortson teamed up inside and beat Mourning and Luke Langley. And very good scoring ability."

"Continued performance is needed."

Matt said: "The three outsiders are all offensive guards, and they all need the ball. I think one or two of them should learn to play off the ball, or one should go to the bench to make up for the Knicks bench. weakness."

Bill Walton nodded and said: "Indeed, we see that on the Knicks' bench, there are two veterans, Barkley and Willis, and Gary Trent on the inside, but the outside and front line are very poor, and there are no useful people. Far inferior to previous seasons, the Knicks still need to strengthen the construction of the bench."
