Chapter 578: Shark Heading North (2/4)
On July 10, Qiao Hai flew to Los Angeles, and then waited at the airport for two hours to wait for Han Xue, who flew from Vancouver.
As soon as they met, the two hugged each other, and Qiao Hai hugged Han Xue directly.
Since the playoffs in late April, Han Xue has left Houston and gone to Vancouver to continue her studies, so, if you calculate carefully, the two have not seen each other for more than two months and almost three months.
The hotel in Los Angeles, dry firewood, naturally needless to say.
……
The next day, Qiao Hai went to a seawater investment company.
Recently, Qiao Zhishui has also been a lot idle, and the investment business of seawater investment has become less and less, and a large amount of money has been transferred by Qiao Hai.
Facebook invested part of the funds, and then the main funds were invested in the other side, and the latest video website has also been launched, Qiao Hai named it Quickplay, which means fast play.
As soon as Quickplay was launched, it immediately attracted a large number of traffic through Google, Facebook and Hoop Sports, and immediately became the largest video site in North America.
In addition, Facebook Europe has also been launched, also relying on Google's promotion, immediately occupied this vast market, Mark Zuckerberg's version of Facebook was also launched at the same time, but because there was no Google to help promote, he suffered Waterloo.
Quickplay Europe will also be available in the near future, as part of Qiao Hai's expansion plans.
However, Qiao Hai's expansion plan ends there.
In Asia, Qiao Hai's Facebook and Quickplay will only enter Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, and Qiao Hai has no intention of entering the Celestial Empire, Asia's largest market.
The reason is very simple, Qiao Hai feels that he can't hold the complex business in China.
"Facebook and Quickplay will operate for another year, and from next year, part of all profits will be taken out as dividends, half will be paid to my account, Ah Shui will take another part, and the rest will be invested in seawater."
Qiao Hai is reluctant to let Qiao Zhishui be idle, as Facebook and Quickplay are on the right track, Qiao Hai will have more and more idle funds in his hands, so Qiao Zhishui will come in handy.
"Ah Shui, in the next few years, you will be active in the area of Silicon Valley, and if you encounter any promising network IT companies, you need to invest or acquire, you will acquire a few, and we will gradually expand our business empire."
Qiao Zhishui naturally nodded his head in various ways, and he was naturally very happy to be able to continue to contribute.
Then, Qiao Hai met with Rolf Pagano, who has been reappointed as CEO of Facebook, and Chen Jun, CEO of Quickplay, to get a general understanding of the operation of his two cash cow companies, and then put forward a few opinions.
Especially Chen Jun, Qiao Hai put forward a request to Chen Jun: "Within half a year, an online TV station will be established, with various TV dramas, reality shows, and some sports events broadcasted." ”
Qiao Hai really wants to buy the NBA's online broadcast rights, but he knows that it is not realistic to buy it now, because Quickplay has no money, and Seawater Investment cannot take out so much money to pay for the high broadcast fees.
But as long as Quickplay TV is established, money will be there soon.
Qiao Hai stayed in Los Angeles for a few days, and it was not until July 15 that he took Han Xue and flew to the embrace of the motherland by plane.
……
He left on the front foot, and on the back foot, Shaquille O'Neal and his agent Perry Rogers also showed up at LAX, and Shaq was about to fly to his next stop.
At the airport terminal, Shaquille O'Neal grinned and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Hey, Perry, I'm telling you, one day, I'll come back, just like Joe did, back to Los Angeles, and then keep beating the Lakers and making these guys who abandoned me regret it!"
Shaquille O'Neal was arrogant, but turning his head, he said to Perry Rogers: "But Mickey is not bad, at least, he gave me a choice." ”
Shaquille O'Neal's deal was supposed to be completed by July 10, but because of the sudden addition of a certain team, it turned out that Mitch Kupchak negotiated for a long time.
In the end, he struck a deal with the Magic in exchange for Dwight Howard and Juwan Howard and Altaron Luga for a future first-round pick in exchange for Shaquille O'Neal.
A deal was also reached with the Heat, with Lamar Odom plus Caron Butler plus Brian Grant adding a future first-round pick in exchange for Shaquille O'Neal.
A deal was made with the Grizzlies, who were the last to join, with Pau Gasol and Shaun Marion trading for Shaquille O'Neal.
Mitch Kupchak didn't want to be more than Lups, on the one hand, because Sean Marion has a lower contract amount, and on the other hand, because the Lakers have Derrick Fisher, they don't need a point guard, on the contrary, the Lakers are still missing a lot of players on the wing.
But with these three agreements in front of him, it was difficult for Mitch Kupchak to make a choice, so, in the end, he left the choice to O'Neal.
Then O'Neal said to his agent: "I'm going to join forces with this guy Tracy, and I'm going to tell Kobe that guy that without him, I can win the championship more easily!" ”
So, Shaquille O'Neal's next stop, is Vancouver!
"Let's go, Perry, it's time for us to board!"
……
When Qiao Hai flew to the Celestial Empire, Pau Gasol and Sean Marion also arrived in Los Angeles.
Mitch Kupchak personally picked up the people, a group of several people, and drove directly to the Staples Center.
In the news media room at the Staples Center, a press conference is already being prepared.
A large number of reporters showed up, and they got the grapevine that trade talks dragged on for two weeks because of the sudden intervention of a certain team, and a final deal had just been reached two days ago.
Obviously, the protagonist of this press conference of the Lakers is the big deal that has just been completed.
Everyone was looking forward to it, and they were eager to know who Mitch Kupchak had traded for Shaquille O'Neal.
Michkupchak appeared first in front of everyone, and then, everyone looked behind him, and then saw two people, one tall and one short.
"Pau Gasol?"
"Sean Marion?"
"So Shaq went to Vancouver?!"
Everyone was surprised, and there were already some reporters on the phone, as if to inform their colleagues in Vancouver.
Mitch Kupchak also announced at this time: "We traded Shaquille O'Neal for Paul and Sean from the Vancouver Grizzlies, and Paul and Sean will play alongside us in the new season!" ”
……
On the other hand, the Vancouver Grizzlies also held a press conference, hosted by Jerry West, but unlike the Lakers, they are announcing two trades.
In addition to Shaquille O'Neal playing with the number 33 jersey, Jerry West also announced another deal.
"In addition to trading to get Shaq, we also sent away Chauncey ...... in another deal"
