Chapter 568: 1 Billion a Day
The United States is a war-averse country, for Zhuang Fei is like this, Zhuang Fei has been living in the United States for 8 years, he has not experienced war, in his previous life he had a very vague impression of war, people who did not actually participate in it will never know how terrible it is, although the American government is very strong outside, but for the American people, they don't want to do this, just like many rich people are afraid of death, this is also a normal imagination, In particular, the pain brought by the Vietnam War several decades ago to American society has basically not been erased to this day, just because after Clinton took office in the last eight years, the economic situation of the United States has reached the best period in the history of the United States, and at this time, the US government has rarely not had any fiscal deficit, and the dollar is also the international currency of the international community. However, in terms of personal ability, he is able to beat most US presidents in history, especially the newly appointed George W. Bush. This person who single-handedly broke the peace and prosperity of the United States is also the person who put the United States on the road of no return to constantly borrowing money and borrowing, but at this time, although the American people do not like war, they will continue to march in various ways as soon as the war breaks out, but at this time, I am afraid that these American people will not know that in the future, it is because of this war that many of them have fallen from heaven to hell, if they know, these people are probably not just protesting against war.
With the start of the fight between the United States and Iraq, the entire United States has fallen into a boil, even the NBA in the entertainment industry chain, in which it can be said that any current sports event, including football or basketball or the upcoming NCAD, is no longer the focus of attention of the world and the United States, in this case, Zhuang Fei is unusually calm, for such a thing he has experienced in his previous life, although at this time his feelings are much stronger than in his previous life, but even so, It still doesn't have much to do with him.
Or it doesn't all matter on the day of the start of this war, Zhuang Fei received a call from his agent, Zhuang Fei's agent Chris's complex and excited sentences on the phone made Zhuang Fei extremely surprised, this usually very stable agent is now completely without that kind of demeanor, it is obvious that Chris saw his opportunity to leave a name in the history of the financial industry this time.
And a day after the war started, Zhuang Fei received a call from Chris again, but he got a message that made him extremely surprised, even surprised, just one day when Zhuang Fei's more than 1.6 billion dollars, just one day, Chris, who had already been prepared, frantically shorted oil futures in the futures market, which doubled Zhuang Fei's assets. The broker, who borrowed more from the bank again with a margin of more than 700 million US dollars, only took one day to turn the assets in his hand into 1.5 billion assets, even if he changed the bank loan, there was still 1, and at this time, the price of US oil futures fell below the $30 mark from nearly $40 a barrel before the war, but for most financial speculators, they were not ready at this time, and Chris had already entered the market in advance, and Zhuang Fei could understand Chris's excitement on the phone. Although this kind of behavior of eating alone alone is not very authentic, the pleasure it produces is indescribable.
According to Chris, it is very simple to make war money in the war, and it is also very difficult for arms dealers and war reconstruction builders with backgrounds, they can easily make tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of profits from a war, and for many financial speculators, it is difficult to go to the front of others without first-hand information, although they can make money through solid experience and skillful operation in the case of not being able to go to the front of others, but the benefits are also limited, but at this time, Chris is obviously not suitable for such a judgment, this financial speculator who has been completely at the forefront is now crazy about grabbing money for Zhuang Fei, and at this time, Zhuang Fei is after listening to Chris's report on the first day, and he once again devoted all his energy to the NBA and the Boston Celtics, it is obvious that now Chris does not need him to worry at all.
"Stephen, how have the players been training lately?"
In the office of the Boston Celtics, Zhuang Fei put down the news about the recent small forward of the Grizzlies with a serious face, looked at the team's assistant coach Stephen Green and asked steadily, at this time Green was also a little dignified.
Recently, because of the war between the United States and Iraq, the impetuousness and anti-war sentiment in American society have completely affected all fields, including the NBA, of course, after the war began, the Grizzly Bear player Artest, who is currently in the ban, actually set up a volunteer army organization, calling on NBA players to stop playing, and follow him to Iraq to help Iraqis in dire straits and American soldiers on the front line, and even the player swore in his blog, Willing to spend nearly $7 million a year of his salary as public expense, Artest's behavior seems extremely absurd, but it has won the support of many people and NBA players, especially some of the team's fringe players, for these people. It's fair to say that Artest has once again messed up the entire NBA.
Of course, for Artest, his influence on the league is almost 0, David Stern will not allow the league to shut down, this is impossible, but Artest's behavior from another aspect also reflects that the current NBA is indeed a little uneven, in this case, Zhuang Fei is also extremely worried about the current Boston Celtics players, especially the Boston Celtics players are still a rare team in the NBA, in this case, these people are really likely to do some bloody things.
"It's normal now, although they have to write more or less distractions during training, but it's still under control" Stephen Green also said with a serious face after seeing Zhuang Fei's inquiring eyes, and Zhuang Fei, who got Green's answer at this time, also nodded slightly distracted.
"This matter will be supervised by you, if these players have any special circumstances, you need to report to me at any time" Zhuang Fei finally instructed Green, and Green also left Zhuang Fei's office after receiving Zhuang Fei's order.
On March 22, 2003, the Boston Celtics who had rested for four days in Boston welcomed the Nets who had just beaten them at home.
Especially the last time the away loss was because his daughter was born and did not show up for Maddy, in this game the Boston Celtics played extremely fiercely, and compared with the Boston Celtics, this game is the Nets' away back-to-back games, the day before they just lost to the Philadelphia 76ers who are working for eighth place in the East, and the Nets who did not come back in this game were slaughtered by the Boston Celtics.
The Boston Celtics almost dominated the Nets in this game, although the Nets had lost to the Celtics many times before this game, but I am afraid that it had never been like today, and the New Jersey Nets showed almost no resistance in this game. And at the end of this game, the Boston Celtics defeated the Nets 128-95 on their home court, and the Boston Celtics shot an astonishing 58% from the last time instead of 36% last time
And just after this game, the Boston Celtics also completed their seventieth game of the season, the current team record is 61-9, seeing that it is close to breaking the Boston Celtics all-time record of 68 wins and 14 losses, for this season Zhuang Fei led the team can do this, after the end of this game, there is almost no doubt anymore.
For now, as long as the Boston Celtics win eight of their next 12 games, it is not difficult to do so with the current winning rate of the Boston Celtics, it is just a matter of whether the Boston Celtics head coach is willing or not.
And on March 24, just after the Boston Celtics defeated the Nets at home, the Boston Celtics' Northwest road trip showed everyone the Celtics' hunger for victory.
On March 24, 2003, the Boston Celtics defeated the NBA Nuggets 130-86 away, and in this game, Arenas, who the Nuggets have always been obsessed with, scored 40 points on them again, the Boston Celtics bench guard brushed 19 points again in garbage time, and Arenas is currently the third in the league in the fourth quarter in terms of points per game, second only to the scoring champion Iverson and Carter, the league's first man. The bench player averaged 86 points per game in the fourth quarter, which is not a small miracle.
After beating the Nuggets, facing the Jazz, an old powerhouse in the Northwest, the Boston Celtics once again stepped on the team that was already far from the playoffs, and the final score was 107-91.
After the Boston Celtics finished their Northwest tour, the team's record also became 63-9 in 72 games, and at this time, two of the other three teams competing for first place with the Boston Celtics collapsed like the Wizards. (To be continued)
