Chapter 108: Google, I'm Coming
Just as the rocket is stepping towards its own glory, the boss of the rocket, Tiger, is also gradually expanding his financial empire.
The construction of the new Rocket Arena has also been put on the agenda, and it can be said that the progress is still very, very fast, and various approvals have been prepared in the early stage.
In front of Tigermed's strong financial team, any obstacle is trivial.
The charitable fund proposed by Amy Adams is also being established rapidly, and with the $100 million start-up fund donated by Tiger, the entire fund preparation has also been formalized.
Amy and Trill, the two beauties, can be said to have devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the formation of the "Tiger Charity Fund".
However, there is no way, a woman who devotes herself to a certain cause is scary and lovely.
Tiger finally understands the meaning of this sentence now, and sometimes Tiger also wonders, is it wrong for him to let his girlfriend do these things, isn't it obvious that he will suffer from it, and there is no way to promise others, hey, bear with it.
It's February '98, and the time for Sergey Brin and Larry Page to create Google is approaching.
In the future, Google will be famous and can quickly become a world-class large enterprise, how can Tiger give up such an opportunity.
In his study, Tiger struggled to recall the development of Google in the previous life.
March 1995: Sergey Brin and Larry Page first met at a spring reunion of PhD candidates in computer science at Stanford University. September 7, 1998: Formed Google Inc., located in a garage in California, with four employees. Brin and Page raised $1 million from family, friends and investors. At the time, Brin and Page were 24 and 25 years old, respectively. February-June 1999: Google receives $25 million in funding from two venture capital funds, Sequoia Capital and KleinerPerkinscaufieldbyers. May-June 2000: Google makes 18 million queries per day, becoming the largest Internet search engine, and Yahoo chooses Google as the default search result provider. March-April 2001: Eric Schmidt, then CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Novell, joins Google as Chairman of the Board and is soon appointed CEO. March-April 2002: Google launched a beta version of Google News. September-October: Google launched keyword ads globally, offering keyword ads in the UK, Germany, France and Babben.

Aug. 16: Google asked the Securities and Exchange Commission to declare the listing registration valid, which is the first step in determining the IPO price and public offering of shares. August 18: Google reduced the number of shares to 19.6 million shares, reducing the IPO price range to $85 to $95. Google closed the auction, fixed an IPO price of $85, and received listing authorization from the Securities and Exchange Commission. Aug. 19: Google opened at $100.01, an 18% price increase over the IPO. On September 19, 2005, Kai-Fu Lee joined Google.
If Tiger lets go of such a gold-absorbing machine, it can only be said that it is intolerable.
It's still a bit early to start, but when they start raising venture capital in '99, it's time to start.
Just as Tiger was thinking about his investment in Google, the Rockets embarked on their road trip to connect the three.
The three opponents are the Timberwolves, Knicks and Washington Bullets.
On February 21, 1998, the Rockets challenged the Timberwolves on the road, and the Timberwolves, who historically relied on Garnett's rise, are still hovering at the bottom.
No core, no future, no hope.
It didn't take much effort for the Rockets to take out the Timberwolves.
100:85
The Rockets let their bench dominate the game.
Immediately after, the Rockets drove to the Knicks.
At Madison Square Garden, the Rockets encountered stubborn resistance.
Ewing and Olajuwon, two old rivals, can only be pinched after meeting.
The two sides engaged in a death match, and three people were sent off for 6 fouls.
Bodi Roga was slapped to the ground by Oakley, which immediately sparked a clash between the two sides.
The famous villain Oakley was thrown into the technical table by a bag of the bus, and was immediately carried away.
The bus was also invited out of the arena.
However, the fierceness of the bus also shocked the Knicks, think about the level of force that a strong man like Oakley was thrown out like a chicken.
This made the Knicks feel uneasy and couldn't let go.
The Rockets are also afraid that if someone is sent off, the game will not be easy to play.
In addition to the suppression of the referee, there was no brawl in the game after the double serve.
In the end, the Rockets defeated the Knicks again 92-84.
After playing the Knicks, the Rockets traveled to Washington to challenge the Washington Bullets on the road.
may have been too depressed on the court, but the players of the Rockets in this game were full of vitality.
Bodi Roga shot 10-of-11 from the field and 10-of-10 from the free-throw line to finish with 35 points, eight rebounds and nine assists.
On the other hand, only Webb played well, scoring 28 points in the game.
However, this did not stop the rocket from moving forward.
Relying on Bodi Roga's play, the Rockets outscored the Washington Bullets 124-112.
After the game, Bodi Roga said that he gave his victory to the bus who stood up for himself and was banned for three games by the league.
As soon as this statement came out, Bodi Roga was fined another $15,000.
However, this is a drizzle for Bodi Roga, who has an annual salary of nearly 9 million plus a large amount of sponsorship.
Now Bodi Roga is simply the face of European basketball, and a large number of European companies have found the Rockets in the hope of becoming sponsors of the Rockets.
In this case, the Rockets made a lot of money, and Bodi Roga's teammates were also wiped out.
Even fringe players like Jacques Vaughn have sponsors to sponsor them.
This is something that Tiger didn't expect, and it's a windfall.
After three away games, the Rockets returned to their home court to welcome the Timberwolves again.
The tragic Timberwolves were poached by the rocket to the core of the future, and they were abused like this.
At this moment, the head coach of the Timberwolves, Sanders, has a murderous heart.
Admit it, the Rockets ransacked the Timberwolves again on their home court.
128:98
The Rockets defeated the Timberwolves, and the Rockets' 53-5 record continued to be the best in the league.
Who can stop the Rockets' winning streak?
The Rockets welcomed the Jazz on their home court, a team that could potentially beat the Rockets.
The battle between the Rockets and Jazz is about to begin.
