After dealing with the affairs of the Ao Shen, Qiao Hai returned to Jinling, stayed with his parents for about a week, and then went to the magic capital again, and roughly learned about the operation of the fire in the past year.

Finally, Qiao Hai arrived in the deep city.

In Shencheng and his entourage, Qiao Hai saw Qiao Zhishui again and learned about the recent situation of seawater investment.

Google's stake has been diluted to just 8 percent, but a Google IPO is already in the pipeline, and it is expected to go public in 2004.

At that time, seawater investment will need to make a choice.

Whether to continue to hold Google's shares, or directly throw them out for cash, this is a question, Qiao Zhishui can't make up his mind, this idea can only be taken by Qiao Hai.

……

The 70,000 shares of Amazon invested by Seawater are still in hand.

In terms of domestic investment, Alibaba's stake has been diluted to 10%, Baidu has also made its final round of financing before going public, and Seawater Investment has 8% of its stake remaining.

Add $10 million to fight in the stock market, and that's all the property and money that Seawater Investments has.

……

Qiao Hai thought for a while, and he thought of a young rich man in his previous life.

Now, Qiao Hai is still very young, he is only 29 years old, this huge fortune in hand, Qiao Hai's goal is not limited to cashing out these investments, and then buying an NBA team.

Now, he wants to be able to keep this huge fortune.

So, Qiao Hai quickly had an idea.

"Is Baidu preparing to go public in 05?"

Qiao Zhishui nodded quickly.

Qiao Hai immediately had an idea: "Then, let's do this, first throw away 70,000 shares of Amazon, and cash out a sum of money, I want to use it." ”

Qiao Hai didn't say how he wanted to use it, and Qiao Zhishui didn't ask, he continued to listen.

"In terms of domestic investment, I will give you half a year to cash out Alibaba's shares first and get a sum of money again."

"This fund is mainly used to continue to invest in Google, and we want to continue to keep Google's shares."

For Google, Qiao Hai thinks more.

At present, Google's business scope is only one search engine, but it has a great impact, and Qiao Hai's follow-up plan still needs Google's help.

The cashing out of Amazon stocks is that Qiao Hai's memories of his past life have played a role, not that Amazon's stock value is the highest at this time, in fact, Qiao Hai can't remember when Amazon's stock value is the highest.

It's just that Qiao Hai has a few ideas that require a lot of dollars to implement.

The first is the mobile phone operating system, the era of smartphones is coming, Apple iOS Qiao Hai can't influence, but Android he can plug in a foot.

The second is a video website, YouTube has not yet been established, he can play a time difference, with the help of Google and Hoop Sports, the current establishment of a video website, to seize the market.

And it can also help Hoop Sports solve the technical difficulties of broadcasting NBA games online.

The third thought was related to the young rich man Qiao Hai had thought of before.

The three ideas need money, and Qiao Hai will wait for Qiao Zhishui to cash out a sum of money before starting his actions.

……

……

After two days in the deep city, Qiao Hai returned to the United States and took over the affairs of the rocket again.

Gary Payton's agent, Jeff Schultz, asked Johai to meet, and Johi set a time for the two to meet in Houston a day later.

Johi also learned about the situation from Bernie Bixduff.

Wade was outstanding, outscoring Gary Payton several times in intra-team matchups and beating them in the Los Angeles Summer League.

Dwyanwade conquered Gary Payton, and Qiao Hai also knew that Gary Payton's meeting this time should have been decided......

……

In addition to Gary Payton, the Carlos Boozer trade was also restarted by Qiao Hai.

The main reason is that Qiao Hai already has a problem with the team's lineup for the new season, and he is ready to continue to let Chris Anderson start, partner Yao Ming, solve the opening frame protection problem, and the substitute can use Boris Dior to diversify the attack.

In this way, Carlos Boozer has no place at all, and it is imperative to trade Boozer, and the Jazz want it, and it is not impossible to give it.

But trade discussions come and go, and after all, there is a draft pick.

Qiao Hai's idea was that the draft picks with protection should not be wanted at all.

Therefore, Qiao Hai once again found the Jazz squad and studied it again.

Finally, he gave the Jazz a reply: "De Shaun Stevenson plus Greg Oster, Tagga and Carlos Arroyoga Sir protected first-round pick, in exchange for Carlos Boozer and Muchinolris." ”

The protected first-round picks are: "Lotto protection in the first year, protection in the first five in the second year, and no protection after that." ”

The Jazz's response was quick and took only five hours!

Qiao Hai smiled and said to Darryl Morey: "Look, the Utah people are in a hurry! ”

It is true that the Judah were in a hurry, but in the midst of their urgency, they did not forget to bargain.

This time, they gave the rocket two options.

One is to remove Greg Ostertag and close the deal directly.

The other is that the Rockets are adding a second-round pick, which also directly completes the trade.

Qiao Hai chose the second: "Darryl, go write back, Carlos Boozer plus Muchino Lis, Shaun Stevenson plus second-round pick, Greg Oster, Tager, Carlos Arroyo, and the Jazz's protected first-round pick." ”

Joe Hai is adamant about veteran center Greg Ostertag because this is a very good rim-protecting center, compared to Kevin Cato, who can only act as a meat shield.

However, Greg Ostertag can support the Rockets' restricted area alone during Yao Ming's absence.

That's the difference!

In addition to that, DeSean Stevenson will fill the vacancy at the Rockets shooting guard position.

Carlos Arroyo replaced Muchinolis, who was cheaper and more playmaking and could enrich the Rockets' offensive play.

Basically, after this deal, the Rockets' transfer operation this season can come to an end.

Therefore, the significance of this deal is that Qiao Hai used this deal to get all the players he wanted!

……

It didn't take long for Rocket to reply, and Jazz's response was not long in coming.

A simple word: "Agree to the deal!" ”

So, Qiao Hai breathed a sigh of relief, the transaction was completed, and the Rocket's lineup was replenished by more than half, and it was almost announced that the reinforcements were completed!

Point guards: Raff Alston, Carlos Arroyo;

Shooting guards: Dwayne Wade, Jamal Crawford, DeShaun Stevenson;

Small forwards: Ron Artest, Keller Korver;

Power forwards: Chris Anderson, Boris Dior, Darius Sangueira;

Center: Yao Ming, Kevin Cato, Greg Ostertag.

"That's it, Gary Payton!"

There is only one Gary Payton missing, and the Rockets' reinforcements this season can be said to be complete!
