Qiao Hai went to the fire again, and then signed a second endorsement in the magic capital.

The second endorsement came from a well-known online game company in China, which gave Qiao Hai $1 million to shoot an advertisement, originally Qiao Hai wanted to push it, but when he saw that the game company was called Shanda and the game was called "Legend", Qiao Hai took it.

Anyway, it's just an advertisement, a few lines, and it will be filmed quickly, it's an idiot to have money or not, and Qiao Hai is very impressed by the game of legend, this is the first popular online game in the Celestial Empire, endorsing this game, and even helping Qiao Hai improve a certain degree of popularity, there are only benefits, no harm.

"Hello everyone, I'm Qiao Hai, legend, you've never played a super fun game, just turn on the computer, experience it for three minutes, and you'll fall in love with this game just like me......"

Qiao Hai stood there, finishing a line.

The director shouted, "OK, it's over!" ”

……

After walking to the magic capital, Qiao Hai then went back to Jinling.

On the way to Jinling, David Falck did not follow anymore, because the two endorsements have been signed and the money has been received, totaling $11 million, David Falck receives a 10% commission, that is, $1.1 million, and the remaining $9.9 million is all on Qiao Hai's account.

And this money was also taken to Jinling by Qiao Hai, and then 5 million was distributed to Qiao's father.

The expansion of Toronto's Western restaurant will continue, and with this $5 million in funding, the expansion will be even more rapid.

……

Qiao Hai has been in Jinling for more than half a month, usually doing nothing, and remotely controlling the affairs of the rocket at home.

Now, he has a lot of industries, such as Hoop in the United States and Tianchao in sports media, Capital Aoshen in the team, and sea investment in investment.

Coupled with Qiao's father's western restaurant career, every career is thriving, but Qiao Hai never forgets that basketball is his first career.

The Rockets' summer league went well, and Jamal Crawford became the scoring leader of the Rocky Hills Summer League, and his outstanding performance showed Tang Shuai his ability to steal points off the bench.

Therefore, Tang Shuai was full of praise for Qiao Hai's vision.

Two rookies in the summer league, Boozer became the core of the interior line, and Darius Sangeira was a little uncomfortable.

However, Qiao Hai watched the footage of a few games, Bernie Bixduff is not very good at using Sangeira type of inside, he just treats Sangeira as an ordinary white inside, giving some fixed-point shooting opportunities, most of the time, Darius Sangeira needs to stand in the restricted area, and a group of muscles. Stick hand-to-hand combat.

Admittedly, Sangela is desperate but his physicality and this group of muscles. There is a gap in the stick, and under such a positioning, it is understandable that Sangeira played poorly.

……

After resting in Jinling for more than half a month, Qiao Hai finally went to Shencheng again and learned about the current situation of seawater investment.

Qiao Zhishui has already taken root in Shencheng, and even returned to China with Lao Qiao, which can be regarded as returning to his homeland in the year of the sixtieth year.

In addition to holding a 15% stake in Google and 70,000 shares of Amazon, domestic investment has also been basically rolled out.

At Shencheng Airport, Qiao Zhishui personally picked up Qiao Hai in a car, and then went straight to the company.

Seawater Investment Celestial Empire Headquarters, Conference Room, Qiao Zhishui reported to work: "We wanted to invest in Tencent, but Ma Huateng's team refused. ”

Tencent's refusal is not surprising, at this time, Tencent's user base has come up, and the prospect is beautiful, Seawater Investment, which can only be regarded as a medium-sized investment company, wants to invest, and Tencent naturally does not look down on it.

"But we spent $30 million in Alibaba, which is 20 percent of the shares."

The investment in Ma Yun was successful, Qiao Hai nodded and smiled: "Pay attention to doing business with Ma Yun, you may be pitted, invest for a few years, and make almost the money, so just withdraw directly." ”

Qiao Zhishui nodded and continued: "We also spent $20 million to invest in Baidu, accounting for 15% of the shares. ”

BAT has invested in two, and Qiao Hai is already satisfied.

For business things, Qiao Hai doesn't know a lot of places, but fortunately he has Qiao Zhishui's help, 20% of Alibaba's shares, 15% of Baidu's shares, Google's 15% shares, plus 70,000 shares of Amazon, all of which will be realized after a few years, which is enough for Qiao Hai to buy a team.

After a trip to the deep city, Qiao Hai returned to the United States.

It's early September, and the Rockets' preseason preparations have begun.

……

……

The Compaq Center, the home arena of the Rockets, is also responsible for the daily training of the Rockets, but in one more season, this arena will be retired from history.

The new arena, sponsored by Toyota Motor Corporation, is already under construction and is expected to be completed in February 2003, and it is not surprising that the Rockets will move into the new arena next season.

In the old Compaq Center, the Rockets Training Gym, the first day of pre-season training is about to begin.

Rudy Tomjanovic is holding a physical test sheet, and all the Rockets players are doing preseason physical testing, in case some players are playing too high in the offseason.

From this point of view, Tang Shuai is still very professional.

Qiao Hai also appeared on the sidelines and said hello to Yao Ming first.

"Da Yao, how is it, the physical test is okay, right?"

Da Yao replied with a smile: "No problem, I haven't rested much this summer, either it's the national team's training camp or the national team's friendly match, my state is definitely fine." ”

Qiao Hai nodded, wanting to pat Yao Ming's shoulder, but he still couldn't, so he patted Yao Ming's arm again.

Qiao Hai did not interfere with Tang Shuai's pre-season training, this team, this lineup, how to use Tang Shuai, that is Tang Shuai's business, and it has nothing to do with Qiao Hai.

However, Qiao Hai still learned something through Tang Yi and Brad Stevens.

Tang Shuai has always had his own ideas about the offensive and defensive tactics of the Rockets in the new season, but Brad Stevens put forward some of his own opinions.

Tang Shuai also listened carefully, he knew that the young Brad Stevens had studied with Qiao Hai for less than two years, and he had good insights on both offense and defense.

Tang Shuai finally combined his ideas with Brad Stevens to determine the offensive and defensive tactics for the new season.

On the offensive end, the Rockets can only use Steve Francis as the core to create a breakthrough system, plus Artest, who has the ability to hold the ball alone, and Jamal Crawford on the bench, the Rockets' offensive firepower can still be guaranteed, but the offense with Francis as the core is obviously not too strong.

At the beginning of the new season, Yao Ming will not have too many offensive tasks for the time being, and Tang Shuai's task for Yao Ming is very simple - to adapt to NBA-level confrontation and NBA-level offensive and defensive rhythm......

Defensively, Yao Ming has been heavily used.

In the new season, what kind of results the Rockets can achieve depends on defense.

Defensively, just looking at the lineup, the Rockets should be very strong, Steve Francis's defense is average, but in the point guard position, his figure is very dominant, combined with physical advantages, Francis's defense is at least above the level.

The two wings, Artest plus James Posey, the combined defense of these two should be the strongest wing defense in the league.

Interior defense, Da Yao's defense is not bad, he has not gained weight when he first entered the league, the whole person is still relatively flexible to move, can be well defended and supplemented to assist in defense, overall, Da Yao is a qualified frame center.

The starting XI at the power forward position is yet to be decided, with Boozer, who performed well in summer league, Kenny Thomas, who started last season, and even Kevin Cato at the center position, all likely start.

In this position, if Boozer starts, his top defense is still very good, after all, the next game is very stable, ordinary people can't play, and the assistant defense is relatively poor.

Kenny Thomas's top defense is average, and the supplementary defense is not bad, but his tonnage is too small, and when he encounters a big forward like Karl Malone, it is easy to be beaten, almost a dozen and a quasi.

In the end, Cato is the kind of interior player who has excellent top defense and is not bad at helping to defend.

On the whole, the defensive potential of the Rockets is very high, and the next thing is to see Tang Shuai's ability to adjust the defense.
