Chapter 274 Acquisition Opportunities
After entering the CBA, Li Cai played as a basketball player and naturally received a lot of attention.
After all, Li Cai has unparalleled and amazing achievements in other fields, and he can't attract attention if he wants to.
After the addition of Li Cai, the Big Sharks Club has not been introducing foreign aid.
Although the rest of the CBA still invites foreign aid to improve the strength of the team as usual, they are still very wary of joining Li Cai's Big Shark Club.
In particular, Shougang, which is in Beijing, won the championship for 12 years after bringing in Marbury last year.
It's a pity that he was swept away when he wanted to defend his title this year.
Although he lost this year's competition, according to history, Shangjing Shougang will win the championship again this year, which can be said to be the biggest obstacle for Li Cai to lead the Big Shark Club to win the championship.
Originally, Li Cai considered entering Shougang in Beijing, after all, many relationships in the family were in Beijing again, and he was very easy to talk to.
But the key is that there is no position for Li Cai in Beijing Shougang, what they lack is an inside player, although Li Caigo is not worried about losing to Marbury, but at least he can't be a starter, or even the main force of the team.
So Li Cai went to the Magic City Big Shark Club, the team managed by Da Yao, and the outside players of the Big Shark Club happened to be weak, and the general Arenas happened to be injured, without Li Cai, he would also announce his retirement in November this year.
After Li Cai returned to the sports arena as a professional basketball player in the CBA, he naturally attracted a lot of media attention.
Many so-called "basketball experts" are not optimistic about Li Cai's entry into the field of basketball, thinking that Li Cai is not able to survive in the CBA now, and even be able to enter the CBA team, completely relying on fame and connection, not by strength at all.
In short, in their opinion, the big shark club that introduced Li Cai will definitely ask for its own hardships, and in this year's 13-14 CBA season, it will definitely lose very badly.
It's a pity that Li Cai not only performed eye-catching in a series of games in the next two months, but also played a dominant strength, and the players on the line against him couldn't prevent Li Cai at all, and could only rely on the bag to prevent Li Cai from scoring.
And the Big Shark Club, with Li Cai's appeal, naturally made a lot of money.
In the United States, Li Cai bought a large amount of bitcoin for $70, which has reached more than $1,100, a full increase of more than ten times, and it can be said that he has made a lot of money.
As Marx once said, "The capitalists are afraid of no profit or too little profit, just as nature is afraid of a vacuum." As soon as there is a suitable profit, capital will be bold. If there is 10 percent of the profit, it will be used everywhere; if there is 20 percent of the profit, it will be active; if there is 50 percent of the profit, it will take risks; for the sake of 100 percent of the profit, it will dare to trample on all the laws of the world; and if it has 300 percent of the profit, it will dare to commit any crime, even to the risk of hanging.
And Li Cai's profit now has reached more than 1,500 percent, which is enough to make anyone crazy, Li Cai bought 50 million US dollars of bitcoin, and now the value has reached more than 500 million US dollars.
Although Bitcoin can still rise a little more than the international gold price before it begins to fall, Li Cai has made too much money now, and after changing so much history, Li Cai is worried that it will fall in advance.
So when the price of bitcoin reached $1,100, it was all sold.

Soon, the time came to March of '14, and the regular season of the CBA was over, and the playoffs of April were ushered in.
The CBA is a parody of the NBA in many ways, but there are also many differences.
Although the game time is about the same, there are only eight teams in the playoffs in the CBA, unlike the NBA, which has 16 teams from the East and West.
However, this is also related to the fact that there are few CBA teams, only eighteen teams, and if the east and west are separated like this, the strong teams are basically together, and the game will be uninteresting.
With Li Cai's outstanding performance in the regular season, the strength of the Big Sharks Club is not weak, and it naturally becomes the team participating in the playoffs with the second record, only a little worse than the record of the favorite Shangjing Shougang.
And in the NBA, far away in the United States, a big thing has also happened.
Clippers owner Donald Sterling has been exposed to a racist scandal.
Character determines a person's life, and it is inevitable that a person like Sterling will be unlucky because of his stinky mouth.
At the end of April this year, the online media outlet TMZ exposed a recording of a conversation between Sterling and his girlfriend Steviano, in which he accused his girlfriend of putting a photo of him with a black friend on his personal website, and named him "especially not to bring Magic Johnson."
As soon as this news was exposed, it caused an uproar and attracted unanimous condemnation from all sides.
Although many white people have said bad things about black people in private, they don't say it in public, especially a well-known figure like Sterling, and the evidence of the audio recording has been exposed.
In the United States, racial discrimination is a "high-voltage line", and if a well-known person has words and deeds involving racial discrimination, he will inevitably be criticized by all parties.
The so-called "freedom of speech" is not an absolute freedom, you can express your opinion, but only if it does not cause harm to others. Raheem Sterling's remarks, while not illegal, have caused a lot of harm in the NBA's large number of black athletes.
Even according to the principle of first blood in the United States, as long as 1% of the family is black, there are basically very few whites in the BA, and even most of the stars are black.
And the stars of the Clippers, Griffin and Paul, are both black, even if Griffin is "stupid and sweet" when he laughs, he is also black.
This also led to many NBA stars and coaches expressing their dissatisfaction with Sterling and demanding that he get out of the NBA.
The owners of other teams have not spoken for Sterling, over the years, the Clippers have been a strong team, and even the favorites to win the championship, and the Lakers in the same city, under the leadership of Kobe, have almost not even entered the playoffs, and it is all Kobe Bryant who supports the Lakers market.
In addition, Sterling does not have good popularity in the NBA, so the rest of the people naturally beat the water dogs and want the Clippers to become a broken ship as before.
In just a few days, many people in basketball have demanded that the NBA expel Sterling from the league, and even suggested that the Clippers players should stop the game.
But the Clippers, who entered the playoffs, would not retire stupidly even if owner Sterling had an accident.
After all, once you boycott the game, you will be judged to lose and be eliminated directly, which is irresponsible to the team and fans.
And after Li saw the news, he also knew that the opportunity to buy the Clippers had come.
