Liu Mang said that he was "honored" to lie on the headlines.

Then it was the Celtics who came to Atlanta on the 18th to take on the Hawks.

On the 17th rest day after back-to-back plays, in addition to those weird online remarks and the four quarterbacks collectively teasing Liu Mang, the most important and best news for the Eagles is that the swelling of Liu Mang's foot injury has all dissipated.

So, Liu Mang, who still had playing time protection in the first two games, faced the "enemy" Celtics this time, the team that was upset and lost last time, Liu Mang played 34 minutes and scored 35 points and 7 assists on 12-of-27 shooting, leading the team to catch the Celtics, who were also in pain after the trade, 98-71, the Hawks easily won 7 consecutive wins, and the record improved to 21-4, continuing to refresh the team history record.

But then on the 20th and 21st back-to-back games against the Warriors and the SuperSonics, it may be that they won too much and began to slacken, the Hawks played very hard in these two games, and lost to the Warriors 105-113 at home in the first game, the Hawks' defense had a big problem, and it may not be a big problem, but they don't look down on the Warriors, and the side effects of the strong mentality begin to appear.

However, when it came to the second game of the supersonics, the Hawks' defense immediately became very compact because of the loss to the Warriors in the last game, but the Hawks' shooting in this game became very bad again, mainly because of Liu Mang, who scored 30 points on 10-of-34 shooting, and played overtime to beat the supersonic 99-96, although the process was a little difficult, but it was a win.

After playing those two games, the Hawks' record changed to 22-5.

On December 23rd, the last game before the Christmas War, the Hawks finally ushered in an outbreak after playing two stinky games, facing the Bulls, Liu Mang was 14 of 20 in the game, and he blew up Hinrich to the fullest, scoring 33 points, leading the Hawks to easily kill the Bulls 109-80, improving the record to 23-5.

……

……

"Uncle, this and this, and this, here...... Wow, Dinah loves it so much......"

"But, Dinah, we're giving it to someone else, what's the use of what you like?"

"Dinah is also a child, what Dinah likes, other children will definitely like it!"

"Are you sure the other kids will enjoy this jigsaw puzzle with more than 10,000 pieces?"

"Definitely!"

"It's good if you're happy!"

In the children's toy area of the supermarket, Liu Mang looked at the shopping guide with a smile on his face, as well as a bunch of toys around the shopping guide that the pickup truck was estimated to be almost unloadable, and the little Lori who was still picking up, his heart was dripping blood.

Today is Christmas Eve, and it is already the third Christmas in the NBA, Liu Mang sighed that time flies so fast, and when he sees Dinah, who has turned 9 years old a few days ago, she is about to feel slim.

The Eagles are now also a popular team in the league, and after making so much money, they naturally have to take their due responsibilities, such as the players, to contribute to the community, give some gifts or something to the people in the slums, and Liu Mang is responsible for giving toys to the children.

Liu Mang didn't know what to give, so he brought Dina with him to buy gifts.

Dinah was overjoyed to hear this, and then almost emptied the toy section of the supermarket, until she saw that the pickup truck seemed to be unable to fit in, and then reluctantly left.

Liu Mang painfully spent more than 30,000 US dollars to settle the bill, and then sent the gift to the Eagles at Phillips Arena who were in charge of receiving the gifts and recruiting those college volunteers to play Santa Claus to deliver the gifts tonight.

The staff of the team were dumbfounded when they saw Liu Mang's pile of gifts full of pickup trucks, and other people gave gifts, all of which meant it, and calculated by numbers, Liu Mang was too sincere, and it could be calculated with a meal!

……

The rest of the Eagles also came to the arena, and in addition to handing over gifts to the team staff for the people in the slums, there were also gifts from the players.

Liu Mang took Dinah to the training ground of the stadium, most of the Eagles players were there, and they also brought some friends or family members.

Liu Mang is also a big guy now, and it's time to give gifts to the younger brothers, and he and Raheem, Jason Terry, Ratliff, Stockton, Rasheed Wallace and other bigwigs have prepared gifts for role players.

Liu Mang prepared a Walkman for no one, and everyone else also prepared some electronic gadgets, such as Rahim's laptop, Rashid Wallace's new mobile phone, and so on.

And Xiao Lori began to ask for red envelopes everywhere again, and her teammates were used to Liu Mang's "Chinese New Year etiquette", like Stockton, an "old man", who gave each of her teammates a red envelope of 1000 US dollars, which was simple and rude.

Looking at the stack of red envelopes in Dinah's hand, even Barnes, who still had a salary of more than 500,000 US dollars, was "blackmailed" for 500 US dollars, Liu Mang felt that his face was lost, and he knew that he would not let this little Lori learn traditional Chinese culture!

After the gifts were delivered, the Hawks players spontaneously organized a practice session about tomorrow's Christmas game with the Pistons, which was supposed to be a holiday today, but the Hawks players took the Pistons, the third-ranked team in the East, very seriously.

There are 5 Christmas games this year, kicking off with the Christmas game between the Hawks and the Pistons, the Pistons have been swept by the Hawks in the past two seasons, and after Larry Brown took over the Pistons, the league felt that the game between the Pistons and the Hawks must be interesting, so this game was arranged.

The second game is the battle between the scoring champions of the Magic team and the 76ers, which was originally very interesting, Iverson was the scoring champion in 01 and 02, Maddie was the scoring champion last season, and the battle of the two scoring champions in the past three years is very interesting, but this year, the Magic team collapsed, and Iverson of the 76ers may not return until the end of January and early February, and the league's calculation was miscalculated.

The third game is the Rockets away to the Suns, Yao Ming and Stoudemire's traditional center and the new era center showdown, Yao Ming has made great strides towards superstars this year, Stoudemire is also performing well, the duel of the top center is always attractive, and the duel between the two best centers of the young generation of the same generation has attracted the attention of many fans.

The fourth game is the Timberwolves' home game against the Spurs, and the matchup between the two No. 21s has continued.

The finale is the Lakers of the Big Four and the Nets, the kings of the East in the past two years, which is also interesting.

As the Eagles began to practice, Dinah followed Rasheed Wallace's daughter to wander around the arena, and the two teenage girls talked a lot.

……

After training, Liu Mang took a shower, changed his clothes and prepared to go home with Dinah, and as soon as he came out of the locker room, he saw Schwartz coming with someone!

"Ace, I've been looking for you for a long time!" Schwartz walked towards Liu Mang with the young man next to him.

"Jeff, you're bringing someone for a tryout again? Our team is not bad, I was training just now, and my phone was in the locker room," Liu Mang took out his mobile phone, and sure enough, there were several missed calls on it, all of which belonged to Schwartz, Liu Mang shook the screen of his mobile phone towards Schwartz.

Liu Mang thought that Schwartz had brought someone to the trial again, and looked at the young man who looked like a college student next to Schwartz, good soil, wearing an old suit, the kind that exploded, but he looked a little familiar, Liu Mang had an impression of this face, and asked curiously: "Is this a draft loss?" It's so skinny! Is he talented, Jeff? ”

"Oh, no, Ace, he's not here for a tryout, I'll introduce you to ......"

Before Schwartz finished speaking, the young man next to him, who was regarded as a turtle by Liu Mang, walked up confidently and said: "It's an honor for Ace that you treat me as a trial player, I like basketball very much, but like you said, I'm too thin to play the NBA at all, but it's okay to play streetball, my name is Mark Zuckerberg, a sophomore at Harvard University." ”

Zuckerberg tried to maintain a confident appearance on the surface, but he was very nervous inside, in the past half a semester, he has been rejected by many investors, of course, he has learned a lot from it, such as to maintain self-confidence in front of the object of investment that you want to pull, neither humble nor arrogant, otherwise you will be underestimated, if you are underestimated, you will basically lose most of the investment.

After Zuckerberg introduced himself, he smiled on the surface, and looked at Liu Mang nervously in his heart, expecting to make a good impression.

But...... Zuckerberg found that Liu Mang looked at himself with very strange eyes after hearing his self-introduction, he felt like he was being stared at by a hungry wolf, this winter, he felt that the sweat of the vest wet the shirt inside.

Schwartz looked at Liu Mang staring at his junior brother, the kind of look that looked up and down, I don't know what Liu Mang was thinking, but his own junior brother, if he can help, he can help, and this junior brother is indeed talented, if he has his own money, he will help, the key is that there is no money.

Schwartz said to Liu Mang: "Ace, let me introduce you, this is a computer genius ...... Harvard University."

Liu Mang waved his hand, knowing that he had accidentally taken someone else as a prey again, mainly because he was too surprised, he didn't expect to meet Zuckerberg at all!

Schwartz seems to have graduated from Harvard University many years ago with a major in financial management and law, but he didn't care about it before, how did he know that he and Zuckerberg actually knew each other, and he also introduced Zuckerberg in the early days of entrepreneurship to know himself.

Schwartz saw Liu Mang waving his hand, thinking that Liu Mang didn't want to listen to his next introduction, he knew that Liu Mang had seen it, and he was a college student entrepreneur who wanted to find venture capital, in this peak period of Internet development, thousands of college student entrepreneurs emerged from top universities in the United States, but 99% of them eventually took the investor's venture capital and went bankrupt, especially after the Internet bubble crisis in the late 90s, investors became more cautious about Internet venture capital, It is more difficult for college student entrepreneurs to find venture capital investors, and in the NBA, there are also many retired players who have gone bankrupt because they threw money into the Internet.

Schwartz glanced at Zuckerberg helplessly, Zuckerberg's heart was also cold, in the past few months, he has been rejected by countless "local tyrants", and there are more people who are more impatient than Liu Mang.

Just when Zuckerberg was disheartened and ready to say goodbye and leave and retain a little dignity, he suddenly heard a sentence from the Chinese "local tyrant" in front of him.

"Jeff, Zach, let's go to the conference room to talk, it's not convenient here."

After Liu Mang finished speaking, he saw Rashid Wallace, who also came out of the locker room after taking a shower, and said to Tianzun: "Rashid, you saw Dinah ask her to come to the conference room to find me, thank you." ”

Rashid Wallace answered and went to find his daughter, who moved to Atlanta and went to a school with Dinah, a grade above Dinah, and had a good relationship, knowing that Dinah and her daughter had gone to play.

Liu Mang looked at Zucker Burke, who was stunned because the peak loop turned too suddenly, and said with a smile: "Let's go, Zack, don't you want to attract investment?" Or did I misunderstand? ”

Schwartz patted Zuckerberg, and Zuckerberg reacted and hurriedly followed Liu Mang in front.

Zuckerberg will be the superboss of the Internet in the future, but he is still a 19-year-old child, and although he tries to pretend to be a beater, he is still suppressed by Liu Mang's momentum.

Zuckerberg just wanted to give it a try, and it was really the mentality of giving it a try, when he came to Liu Manglas to invest and find Schwartz, the senior who gave a speech at school last time.

Liu Mang is Chinese, Chinese do business unscrupulously and calculatingly and for emerging industries are very conservative image has been deeply rooted in the United States, Chinese prefer to invest in real estate and other physical industries, now even the NBA black players are not willing to invest in the Internet, Zuckerberg does not have much hope for pulling investment from Liu Mang, a Chinese, just try it if you can try, originally Zuckerberg has been disappointed again, did not expect the peak to turn!

Rao is Zuckerberg, the future superstrongman, and he can't continue to remain calm.

……

Zuckerberg took out his USB flash drive, adjusted his mentality, used the projector in the Eagles conference room to play the slides he had carefully prepared, and began to introduce his "grand plan" to Liu Mang, Schwartz, and the little Lori who came in later and saw Liu Mang sitting and watching obediently.

As Liu Mang thought, Zuckerberg came to pull investment for his Facebook startup, and what Zuckerberg is now introducing to Liu Mang is an extremely rudimentary version of Facebook's design.

It's just that Liu Mang knows that Zuckerberg's big pie will really come true in the future!

For Zuckerberg's current initial version of Facebook, which is very leaky in terms of design and function, Liu Mang did not make suggestions with some advanced features in the future that he knew, and he didn't know if his suggestions would make Facebook's development problematic, after all, the current Internet equipment and information transmission technology are far inferior to the future, if Facebook is too radical to develop, the actual conditions cannot keep up, but it may affect the future development of Facebook, so Liu Mang did not say any suggestions, just listened like that.

The main thing is that he is too excited, this is a super Internet brand with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars in the future, just in front of him, he tried to restrain his excitement, and did not want his psychological advantage of being at the commanding heights to fall into disadvantage, so he made a very casual listening look.

Zuckerberg finished the slides while introducing, and then said to Liu Mang: "Ace, this is my plan, I believe I can change the life of the entire human race!" ”

After listening to this, Liu Mang was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Zach, how much investment do you need, what is your capital plan, and what benefits can I get." ”

Simple and rude, very direct to ask about his own interests, Liu Mang is so direct, but it makes Zuckerberg have a bottom in his heart, he wants an investor who is more interested in money than in dreams, this kind of investor, Zuckerberg is more at ease, mainly if he meets a dreamer, he will inevitably feel guilty in his heart if he messes up with the dreamer's money.

After thinking about it for a while, Zuckerberg said: "The initial plan is that I need $1 million to set up a service system in Massachusetts, we already have a lot of users in Boston and Massachusetts college students, but we lack our own servers, our first step is to start internal testing in Boston and Massachusetts, and then expand to the whole country, Ace you will get 30% of the shares." ”

"Thirty percent?" Liu Mang was guessing Zuckerberg's psychological bottom line, and continued to be silent and thoughtful, and by the way, Zuckerberg continued to be apprehensive in his heart and became a little more anxious.

Just as Liu Mang thought, Zuckerberg saw that he finally had a willing investment partner and became hesitant, and his heart suddenly became anxious: "We can discuss the shares, but this matter is not up to me alone, but I am the main creative and software developer, and this matter can be discussed." ”

Liu Mang was waiting for this sentence, he pretended to ponder for a while, and said to Zuckerberg: "I will give you 5 million, I want forty-nine percent of the shares, and it is a non-dilutable share, even if it is listed on Facebook in the future, my shares cannot be reduced, of course, if there is a need in the future, I will continue to invest, but the shares invested are calculated according to regular investment." ”

It is completely a posture of forcible grabbing, just like a few years ago when Alibaba and Tencent were first established, the two horse bosses could not find investors, and were forcibly occupied by investors from island countries and the United States, and Alibaba was more than 70% of the shares by Silver Soft, and Silver Soft's investment that year only cost very little money.

$5,000,000!

This is simply astronomical in the eyes of Zuckerberg now, although he painted a large pie, but he did not expect to be able to pull such a large investment.

This is basically the case for today's Internet entrepreneurs, so this is actually within Zuckerberg's psychological expectations.

Zuckerberg didn't expect that he would be able to raise an investment of 5 million US dollars!

Although there is a lot of money in this ......, Zuckerberg hesitated at the first time, he didn't want the company he founded to be snatched away by others.

"Don't worry, I only need shares, you can write in the contract, I give up the controlling stake, I am just an investor, you will always be the boss." Liu Mang said with a smile.

When Liu Mang decided to give up the controlling stake, Zuckerberg's last resistance in his heart also gave up, and immediately said: "Thank you Ace for your trust, I won't let your money become a bunch of bubbles!" ”

"Is your contract ready? I'm sure you're always ready to go, and maybe one day a fool like me will believe in your dreams. Liu Mang teased.

"Haha, Ace, of course I'm ready." Zuckerberg excitedly took out the contract in his briefcase, his company had already been built, but he didn't have the money, he wrote a few strokes in the position of share transfer, and then handed it over to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang asked Schwartz, who understands the law, to study the contract, and found no problems, of course, there can be no problems, Zuckerberg is going crazy looking for investment, how can he still be in the mood to cheat people, seeing the 49% non-dilutable clause of the share transfer, Liu Mang is very satisfied with Zuckerberg's signature and seal.

Liu Mang saw the contract signed and sealed by Zuckerberg, suppressed the excitement in his heart, stretched out his hand and said: "Zach, I will let Jeff give you the money, happy cooperation." ”

Zuckerberg also felt like he was in a dream, and he actually got an investment of 5 million US dollars, and he could use better servers to give users a better experience at the beginning of the promotion of Facebook, and lay a better foundation!

Zuckerberg couldn't suppress his excitement anymore, and shook hands with Liu Mang very excitedly.

……

Zuckerberg excitedly went back to Boston with the contract, and he called his partner, but the partner didn't seem to believe that he could actually get an investment of 5 million US dollars, so he wanted to go back with the contract to celebrate.

Schwartz was very surprised to see Liu Mang invest 5 million US dollars in a junior who is engaged in the Internet, he originally just thought that it would be very good to invest tens of millions of US dollars, and he was able to help himself, a junior who is known as a rare genius, but he didn't expect to pull 5 million!

"Ace, aren't you afraid of encountering an Internet bubble?" Schwartz asked after Zuckerberg left.

"Jeff, the future is the era of the Internet, this junior of yours will definitely succeed, he will be the next Bill Gates, and he is helping me make money!" Liu Mang finally couldn't help but say excitedly.

This is an Internet brand with a market value of hundreds of billions in the future!

Market value does not represent real money, and Facebook rarely pays dividends, and after 2017, Facebook will fall into a big crisis, but less dividends are not a problem, and it will be sold when the time comes!

Schwartz was noncommittal to Liu Mang's words, claiming that he was the next Bill Gates's genius college student, and finally succeeded in a thousand miles, 5 million US dollars may be a lot for Liu Mang, who earns more than 20 million US dollars a year, but it is not a lot, far from the point where Liu Mang can go bankrupt, Schwartz knows that Liu Mang is not the kind of extravagant and wasteful person who most black athletes, even if this investment fails, it will not have much impact on Liu Mang, at most this stingy boss is distressed.
