Chapter 296: Golden State Warriors and Yao Ming

The hidden funds of Galaxy Capital are mainly the profits before Bear Stearns was acquired, which is roughly within $5 billion, which means that the Vermilion Bird Fund of Galaxy Capital has made a profit of $20.6 billion so far in this subprime mortgage crisis, but the real liquidation is only the second phase of the Suzaku Fund, and the first and third phases of the Suzaku Fund have not yet completed the liquidation. After all, the stock market is still going down, and Lu He only promised not to be short again, but he did not say that he would not continue to hold short orders.

The acquisition of the Golden State Warriors is coming to an end, and seeing that Wall Street people have joined, the original majority shareholder Chris, and Joe Lacob are no longer reserved, and have made a lot of concessions, and directly reached a deal at a price of $350 million, acquiring the shares in the hands of Chris Cohen (he may only have 80% of the shares of the Golden State Warriors, but in the middle of the case, he holds all the shares or the protagonist buys all the shares of the Warriors with $350 million). Among them, Zhou Shi invested 280 million US dollars, accounting for 80 percent of the shares, and Chorakob accounted for 20 percent of the shares. But Mr. Zhou promised to sell at least 25 percent of his shares to other valuable minority shareholders, including Mr. Lacob. And that's not the end of it, NBA icon Jerry West will become the team's special advisor, veteran operations Rick Wilts will become the team's president, and Matthews, a veteran of the NBA market, will become the boss of the commercial marketing team. This is also the core team of the rise of the Warriors in the previous life.

Zhou Shi also returned to Yanjing, and took the opportunity of the Yenjing Olympic and Paralympic Games Commendation Conference to make an appointment with Yao Ming to discuss the transfer.

However, Zhou Shi's pomp and circumstance still made everyone discover his whereabouts, so the domestic financial media came to him, except for Forbes, Zhou Shi did not accept any interviews.

"Mr. Zhou, is the information released by Galaxy Capital accurate?

"It's basically accurate, I made more money this time, and I also hope to take this opportunity to announce it to avoid unnecessary suspicion about my next actions. "Zhou Shi

"So you now have more than $5 billion in cash?"

"No, I didn't wait for the fund to expire before withdrawing it, and because it came out early, the final income loss was very large, and most of this part of the funds was used for other investments, and I don't have much cash assets now. "Well, it's not much, it's just billions of dollars.

"Where have you invested?"

"I mainly invested through the platform of Sixiang Fund, and it is inconvenient to disclose the specific projects. "Zhou Shi

"Don't you regret such a choice?" the journalist

"I have no regrets, after all, there are more important things waiting for me to do than making money, and money is not the pursuit of my life. "Zhou Shi

"What are you after?" the journalist

"There is no doubt that my goal is to change the world!" Zhou Shi pretended lightly

"I think you've changed the world, the development of friends.com and Facebook has changed the way people socialize, and the establishment of Twitter has made the distribution of information more equitable. YouTube has become the world's most popular video-sharing site, and it can even change the way TV is delivered, and these companies have a lot to do with you. "Journalists

"Perhaps, but I want to make more changes!"

......

Forbes is about to compile the 2008 domestic rich list, and Zhou Shi doesn't want to become a billionaire all of a sudden, let alone let everyone know that he has a lot of cash. Otherwise, no matter whether it is an outlaw or a person who pulls investment to fight the autumn wind, I am afraid it will be indispensable. In this interview, Zhou Shi also gave some information to prevent them from finding the wrong direction.

Forbes also asked some Zhou Shi about his next investment strategy, Zhou Shi did not say, but replied: "It's time for me to satisfy myself, I have not had a big consumption except for buying a house since I started my business, and now I suddenly have money, and it's time to buy, buy, buy, buy."

"What ...... do you have?" the reporter also wanted to ask, and Zhou Shi ended the interview investigation.

What to buy? Needless to ask, of course, to buy a plane and a team!

Zhou Shi's assistant team and Yao Ming's team met in a hotel in Yanjing, and he didn't talk nonsense and gave his own conditions.

"First, a five-year, $100 million maximum salary contract, second, after retirement, you can join the team's management and become a shareholder of the Golden State Warriors; third, a brand endorsement contract worth tens of millions of dollars (Guoke mobile phone). In addition, we hope that Yao Ming can lose weight, change his playing style, and prolong his career! If we need to buy out the contract, the brand endorsement will be canceled. Although Yao Ming has three years left on his contract, the final year is a player option, and a superstar like him has some privileges. Zhou Shi gave such conditions in 2008, no matter how you say it, it can be regarded as very sincere. Yao's final three-year contract is worth $50 million, and if the player option doesn't need a buyout, it will also cost $31.45 million.

"We ......" Yao Ming's team members seem to have other ideas.

It is very difficult to let Yao Ming come to the Golden State Warriors, and the Rockets will not be stupid enough to put the cash cow away. Zhou Shi is just trying to see if he exercises the team, he doesn't have the idea that he will succeed if he does anything.

After the National Day holiday, there is also an earthquake relief summary and commendation conference, and Zhou Shi will also participate. Just as the subprime mortgage crisis was at its worst, he could take a long vacation. was just about to summon his female star, Li Ying actually appeared in Yanjing.

"How did you get to Yanjing?" Zhou Shi

"What's wrong, I'm not happy to see me?" Li Ying

"I'm surprised!"

"After getting rich overnight, you don't look down on me anymore?" Li Ying

"Yes, I'm about to find ten more concubines!" Zhou Shi

"You go die. Li Ying pounced directly and overwhelmed Zhou Shi, who was not to be outdone, and touched the other party's armament.

After some upside down, the two reconciled as before.

"I'm here for JD.com, and their founders have searched almost all the investment circles for financing, but unfortunately no one is willing to invest in this situation. Li Ying lay on Zhou Shi and got down to business.

"JD.com, they're finally short of money. Didn't he reject you, and you are still willing to invest in Liu Dong. "Zhou Shi

"Which investor is not rejected, as long as the project is good, these are small things," Li Ying said

"Oh, well, since you invest, let the time invest a little. "Zhou Shi

"Don't you have time and time, and invest in other B2C projects. "Li Ying

"I don't invest to make money, I invest to trade data. Zhou Shi didn't hide it

"Transaction data, what's the use?" Li Ying couldn't guess Zhou Shi's thoughts

"For personal credit rating!" Zhou Shi let out a long sigh of relief after speaking.
