Chapter 248: Anything is Possible
At the end of the game, Houston Rockets head coach Rudy Tomjanovic found Long Zheng as soon as possible. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Ryumasa and Yusaku Ozawa spoke, and the two quietly went to a café near the Tokyo Municipal Basketball Stadium.
After this match, Ryuzheng has surpassed Olajuwon in Rudy Tomjanovic's heart.
No matter how good Olajuwon is, he can still compare to NBA predecessor Chamberlain.
But Dragons, Rockets head coach Rudy Tomjanovic and Bulls head coach Phil Jackson have the same idea, and the two head coaches who watched the Dragons game live believe that it is only a matter of time before Long Zheng surpasses Chamberlain and Jordan.
Fortunately, he didn't fall out with Long Zheng at that time and let Long Zheng go, otherwise he would not regret his death now. Rudy Tomjanovich rejoiced.
Olajuwon and Long Zheng, two players inside and outside, the Rockets finally have the confidence to challenge the NBA hegemon -- the Bulls.
"Coach, what did the University of Houston say?" After a brief politeness, Long Zheng asked.
......
In the summer of 93, Long Zheng participated in the NBA draft and officially entered the NBA, the world's No. 1 basketball league.
At the same time, participating in the NBA draft as a high school student also cut off Ryu-zheng's normal path to college.
The 90s was an era of rapid development of the information industry, and if Longzheng, which has $3 billion, wants to make great progress, it cannot bypass the information industry; at this time, it is far from enough to have "foresight and foresight," and it is necessary to have basic knowledge of the information industry. Because of this, Long Zheng had an urgent need to enter the university system to learn about the information industry.
(PS: The information industry refers to the IT industry with the computer and communication equipment industry as the main body, also known as the fourth industry.) )
Signing a two-year rookie contract with the Houston Rockets, Long Zheng's choice of college can only be in Houston, and he can't fly to class every day.
After weighing up, Long Zheng set his sights on the University of Houston, which has the best computer science major in Houston.
......
"It's all done."
Rudy Tomjanovich smiled and said with some smugness: "If it were any other university, I really couldn't help it." But the University of Houston ....." Rudy Tomjanovich grinned.
The Houston Rockets have a good relationship with the University of Houston. Olajuwon, the star of the Rockets, is from the University of Houston.
After the 1983-84 season, Olajuwon, who played for the University of Houston for four years, participated in the NBA Draft and was selected by the Rockets as the No. 1 pick.
Since then, the Rockets have developed a close relationship with the University of Houston. Every year, the Rockets send a batch of free game packages to the University of Houston to connect with each other.
Rudy Tomjanovich directly approached the dean of academic affairs at the University of Houston this time to arrange for Jackie Chan-chi's admission.
Because it is an exceptional admission, and Long Zheng did not join the basketball team after entering the University of Houston, Long Zheng not only did not get a scholarship to study at the University of Houston, but also had to pay all the fees in full.
For the University of Houston, it's a surefire business. Ryu-jeong's admission only added one more student, but Ryu-jeong's future success will clearly state on his resume that "Ryu-jeong's university is the University of Houston", thus bringing a high reputation to the University of Houston.
"Oh, because the team has prepared a place for you to live in -- a single-family house near the team."
In front of Long Zheng, Rudy Tomjanovich changed his words, "So the University of Houston is handling day students for you, it doesn't matter, right?" ”
"It doesn't matter." Long Zheng nodded and said affirmatively: "After all, my first identity is still a professional player." ”
"That's right," Rudy Tomjanovich pulled out a form and placed it in front of Ryuzheng.
"It's the team's pre-season matchup."
Looking at Ryu-jeong, Rudy Tomjanovic said helplessly: "Although the rookie contract states that you can refuse to play in any game other than the regular season and playoffs, including this preseason. But pre-season is a game where the players work together and the team grinds into the tactics, which helps you integrate into the team faster. So, the team wants you to play in all the pre-seasons. ”
On the evening of October 14, they hosted the Atlanta Hawks;
On the evening of October 18, he challenged the Dallas Mavericks away;
On the evening of October 19, he faced the Milwaukee Bucks at home;
On the evening of October 23, he faced the San Antonio Spurs at home;
On the evening of October 26, he challenged the Miami Heat away;
On the evening of October 27, he challenged the Orlando Magic away.
Starting Oct. 14 and ending Oct. 27, the Rockets will play six preseason games in the '93-94 season.
After weighing the pros and cons, Long Zheng considered and spoke: "Coach, I think I will participate in three home games, and I will not participate in three away games." ”
"I can't hide it," looking at Rudy Tomjanovich, Long Zheng said sincerely: "I have a sum of money in my hand, and I want to invest it in the information industry." However, I didn't know much about the information industry, so I went to the University of Houston to study computer science in order to understand the information industry. Although I don't care about university diplomas and degree certificates, I have to study university courses related to the information industry seriously, and this requires time and effort. So ......"
"Alright," Rudy Tomjanovich nodded helplessly, "I see what you mean. For pre-season, just do what you want, and you don't want to go to the team training camp. Don't worry, I'll take a leave of absence for you. I'm going back to the U.S. tomorrow, and I'm going to have to prepare for the team's training camp. ”
"By the way, this is the University of Houston registration card, as well as the key and address of your residence in Houston, you can arrange your own itinerary after you arrive in Houston. But on October 14, before the team's first preseason game, you must report back to the team. ”
......
After separating from Rudy Tomjanovich, Ryuzheng had a lot of thoughts.
The energy that Ryuzheng carries when he crosses over is not only slowly improving his physical fitness, but also gradually increasing his intelligence quotient (IQ). In the most recent IQ test, Ryu-jeong's IQ was as high as 220 (Bill Gates' IQ was 160).
With high IQ and "foresight", Long Zheng is confident that he will break out of his own world in the information industry.
Smartphones and the Internet economy are the two entry points for Longzheng to break into the information industry.
For these two entry points, Long Zheng has had deep thoughts.
The world's first smartphone was Simon, launched by IBM in 1993, and it was also the world's first smartphone to use a touchscreen, using the Zaurus operating system, with only a third-party application called "Dispatchit".
The first generation of the iPhone was released in 2007, and on July 11, 2008, Apple launched the iPhone 3G. Since then, the development of smartphones has ushered in a new era, and the iPhone has become a leading benchmark in the industry.
It can be said that the real development of smart phones is still after 07 or 08 years, and the current level of science and technology is not enough to support the development of smart phones.
Now in 93, investing money in smartphones, in addition to losses, Long Zheng can't think of a second possibility.
Smartphones are not good, and Long Zheng's current focus can only be on the Internet economy.
From 1994 to 1999, the Internet economy in the United States and the world developed rapidly in six years.
In the early days of the Internet economy, three major sectors emerged rapidly, including Internet network infrastructure (e.g., World), Internet tools and software (e.g., scape, IPO in December 1995), and web portals (e.g., Yahoo, IPO in April 1996).
After that, e-commerce (such as Alibaba), Internet finance (such as Ant Financial), instant messaging (such as Tencent), search engines (such as Google) and online games (such as Blizzard) began to exert force.
The first section of Internet network infrastructure, the second section of Internet tools and software, the third section of the portal website, the fourth section of e-commerce, the fifth section of Internet finance, the sixth section of instant messaging, the seventh section of search engines and the eighth section of online games, each of the eight plates is a hen that lays eggs, so that Long Zheng is greedy.
......
The first sector, Internet network infrastructure, was first excluded by Longzheng.
Internet network infrastructure seems to be glamorous, but in fact it is a gold-swallowing monster. In 2002, World Communications Co., Ltd., a giant of Internet network infrastructure and the world's largest Internet provider, declared bankruptcy, leaving Long Zheng with no courage to enter the field of Internet network infrastructure.
Without the support of the national level, it is not an exaggeration to say that the high-input and high-output Internet network infrastructure is a life-or-death event.
The second section, Internet tool software, is to develop various computer software for customers, such as browsers.
In Long Zheng's view, this is a field where technology is more important than creativity, and it belongs to the category of endless hard work in the sea of books, which consumes the most brain cells.
At the beginning of the business, Long Zheng would not enter, and he didn't want to put his limited funds and energy in this place.
The fifth sector of Internet finance, with unlimited potential, is the most optimistic direction of Longzheng, but it needs the support of the strength of the economy. It's like a bank, you don't have gold reserves, who would dare to keep your money there.
As long as Longzheng's company grows in the future, Longzheng will immediately enter the fifth sector of Internet finance.
In addition to these three sectors, the other five sectors (the third section portal, the fourth section e-commerce, the sixth section instant messaging, the seventh section search engine, and the eighth section online games) are all areas that Long Zheng is now eager to enter.
Long Zheng knows that the early bird has worms, and if he doesn't take advantage of the time when the market saturation is the least and becomes the first to eat crabs, it will be difficult to stand out from the fierce market competition.
For the future, Long Zheng has a preliminary plan.
Chicago Rock Management Company, which is responsible for managing all of Longzheng's funds and investments. Similar to Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, it only manages money and investments, not industry.
In the United States, Chicago Rock Management Company has invested in the establishment of four subsidiaries in advance to take root in the information industry.
The four subsidiaries are Panshi Internet Company, Panshi E-commerce Company, Panshi Instant Messaging Company and Panshi Online Game Company.
Panshi Internet Co., Ltd., responsible for the portal and search engine sections, is built in New York, the largest city in the United States.
Portals and search engines belong to the two aspects of Jiao and Meng, and the main operating income is advertising revenue, which requires companies and even individuals to place advertisements on them in order to create revenue.
New York is not only the financial center of the United States, but also one of the world's financial centers.
As the place where information is exchanged most frequently in the world, and where all kinds of companies take root, it can be said that the location of Panshi Website Company in New York is a combination of time, place, and people.
Panshi E-commerce Co., Ltd., responsible for the e-commerce sector, is located in Los Angeles, the largest commercial port in the United States.
The development of e-commerce must rely on physical goods.
The reason why Alibaba can succeed is because Alibaba, which is located in Hangzhou, is backed by the Yangtze River Delta and has countless physical product channels.
Without high-quality and low-cost physical goods, e-commerce companies will die sooner or later, and the company building in Los Angeles is the inevitable choice of Longzheng.
Los Angeles is not only a major transit point for inland goods in the United States, but also a major transit point for exports from Asia to Central and South America. It can be said that more than half of the world's physical goods are gathered here.
Panshi Instant Messaging Company, responsible for the instant messaging sector, is based in Boston, the city with the largest number of universities in the United States.
College students, or young people, are the most receptive to new things. Drawing on Facebook's trajectory, Panshi Instant Messaging Company first reached college students, and then expanded rapidly outward, quickly occupying the market before competitors grew stronger.
Panshi Online Games Inc., responsible for the online game sector, is based in Irvine, California, USA.
Long Zheng placed the Rock Online Game Company in Irvine City for nothing else, because the future online game overlord -- Blizzard Company -- is here.
Since I'm not a professional company, then I'll buy a professional company, Long Zheng thought.
Online games are extremely creative, and Long Zheng doesn't think that he can develop a classic online game by recruiting a few people at random.
From the very beginning, Long Zheng went for the purpose of acquiring Blizzard and the Blizzard team.
Anything is possible, and Long Zheng is full of confidence in the future.
Long Zheng, who has empty ideas, just wants to rush to the University of Houston as soon as possible to learn professional computer knowledge.
Because it is impossible to buy it from search engines, others who have this core technology will only find venture capital to start their own companies.
Long Zheng believes that the high IQ of 220 is enough to support himself to develop and launch a search engine before Google, and he entered the University of Houston to learn about search engines first. (To be continued.) )
