Chapter 388 Z Fund
With the Player of the Week coming out, the Team of the Week was naturally chosen.
Of the five positions, playmaking defender is Billups, who averages 18 points per game. 5 points, 4. 3 rebounds, 1. 3 steals, 0. 3 blocks, in addition to a league-high average of 12 per game so far. 8 assists.
Billups' inclusion stats spurred Pistons fans once again, as he only made one block in three games, the last time he blocked the hapless Starkey.
The shooting guard is Dwyane Wade, who returned from injury, and his stats last week averaged 29 per game. 7 points, 3. 7 rebounds, 6. 7 assists, 2. 3 steals and 1. 7 caps.
Wade has always been a ruthless killer, and he's already one of the best scorers in the NBA, but now he's not just offensive, but also defensively, and looking at his rebounding and blocking stats, that's incredible for a guard. Wade's fighting spirit was also praised, Wade injured his ankle in the opening game, and as a result, he reluctantly played the whole game and scored 38 points.
The small forward is naturally LeBron James, who averages 33 per game. 7 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 2. 7 steals, 0. 7 blocks, this one goes without saying.
The power forward is Amare Stoudemire, who averaged 20 games per game in the last three games. 5 points, 8. 3 rebounds, although he is already a veteran of the league, but in fact he is only 26 years old, it can be said that his golden career has not yet begun, and the peak has not yet arrived, but it is a pity that his peak career will meet Chamberlain, which is destined to be a cup.
The center is Chamberlain, there is no objection to this, Howard is actually very good, he has averaged 25 points and 14 rebounds per game in the past three games, he is even worse, the position coincides with Chamberlain, and he is more unlucky than Stoudemire, at least the latter is a power forward, but Howard can't play anything other than the center.
However, for Magic fans, they refuse to recognize Chamberlain as the league's No. 1 center, insisting that Howard is the best center in the current roster - this is not to say, before Chamberlain appeared and after O'Neal was old, he was indeed the only candidate for this position, even if Yao Ming could blow him up every time he faced him, but the best center was Howard.
The problem is that now that there is a more dominant centre-forward, Chamberlain's status is getting higher and higher, and there were doubts about his ability before, but now when he is discussed, he is directly compared to the six centre-forwards of the 90s.
Slaughtering the Pistons, Chamberlain's mood is getting happier and happier, but he has too many things to do recently, he is anxious, the lawsuit between Doll and Shirley has to be fought, the game has to be fought, and the affairs of the Z Fund have to be sorted out.
With the help of the Olympic Games, all of Chamberlain's businesses have developed in an avalanche, and the champion brand has successfully entered the Asian market, especially in China, and has become the pillar of the mid-range sports brand. The Z Fund has also officially entered the public eye, without any advertising, and it has become the new favorite of the foundation world.
Founded during the Wenchuan earthquake, Z Fund was driven by the first pot of gold injected by the Richard family consortium, and developed rapidly. Chamberlain set a vision for the Z Fund, that is, 'don't let the public welfare stop at me', Li Qun is now the interim president of the Z Fund, the foundation has only more than 20 staff members, and the scale is not very large, so the position of the executive president is not very important.
But the Z Foundation is committed to building a professional and transparent foundation platform, although the number is small, but every income and every expenditure of the foundation is very transparent, Chamberlain himself took out two million dollars to entrust the famous American IT company "Spider-Man" to build a database system, as long as anyone's donation is not anonymous, you can find your information and donation in the database.
The database of the Z fund is called 'Z transparent', this database is powerful, every donor leaves an e-mail address, will receive a username and password, using their own username and password, you can find your own donation information and money flow information in the database, of course, this access authority is limited to individuals, can not query other people's information, this is to protect the confidentiality of donors' information.
This point of the Z Fund has been unanimously appreciated by the people and the media in China, the donation from the Wenchuan earthquake is collected additionally, and the details of the expenditure will be updated every day, from May 13 to November 13, the Z Fund has received a total of 6. 5.4 billion yuan, a total of 4 spending. With 28.2 billion yuan, the way of spending every sum of money can be traced, which increases the credibility of the foundation.
As the CEO, Li Qun certainly can't sit idle, and one of her most important tasks is fundraising. This is very common in foundations in the United States and Europe, many rich people have their own foundations, and they, like the government, are the main body of private assistance, so the rich often have parties or charity dinners, they are not for fun, generally speaking, they are to raise funds.
Li Qun has no connections in the United States at all, and after returning to the United States, she participated in several fundraising dinners and barely integrated into the upper circle of San Francisco, but it is not enough for her to prepare a charity dinner, or that sentence, if you have no connections, who will attend your dinner? That's going to cost you out, and it's not something that can solve the problem with hundreds or thousands of dollars.
Sitting in the office, Li Qun sighed helplessly, Z Fund is becoming more and more famous in China, because they use a completely open and transparent operation, which is very rare in China. But not in the United States, where almost all private foundations are completely transparent, and they have no advantage at all.
If the foundation wants to start, it needs to have a good start, and Li Qun just can't get off to a good start now.
Although Winnie didn't deal with Li Qun much, she strongly supported her in this matter, and her father Eddie Gottlieb immediately sent 15 million dollars in donations, in addition to donations from some fans, most of them were only a few dollars or dozens of dollars.
Li Qun'e frowned, she wanted to find a way to publicize the foundation, according to the laws of the United States, foundations, like medicines, are not allowed to advertise on TV stations and newspaper media, and large foundations in the United States rely on the personal charm of the president to develop.
Li Qun was frowning and thinking hard, and a middle-aged OL in his forties hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in and said to her: "President, there is good news, please come and answer the phone, oh my God, someone said that she wants to donate, about five million or so......"
Originally, Li Qun was still a little dissatisfied with the staff member's behavior of directly pushing open the door and breaking into her office, but when she finished speaking, she couldn't care about her dissatisfaction, and stood up and ran out, completely forgetting that the outside phone could be switched to the internal line to her office.
I can't help but be excited, this is the first time Li Qun has received a large donation, not counting the time of the Winnie family, who came to Chamberlain for the face, and has nothing to do with her, the president.
After she answered the phone, the other party told her that she really wanted to donate about 5 million, and this kind of large donation requires specific consultations between the two sides, and a press conference needs to be held, which is also a legal requirement, otherwise those gangsters in the United States would have come to launder money like this a long time ago.
When Chamberlain learned the news, he was in a secret meeting with Richard, Nelson Sr., Nelson Jr. and others, and the topic of the meeting was what the team needs now and how to trade it to challenge for the championship in the shortest possible time.
To put it bluntly, Richard and Nelson Sr. both want to get their hands on Iverson, but they know that the Warriors are now internally monolithic and don't dare to trade and give away casually, otherwise it will be troublesome to mess up the locker room atmosphere.
The current Iverson is a chicken rib in the eyes of many people, although he was once the popular king of the league, his ability is also a mess. But now, as he gets older and his physical fitness declines, Iverson is no longer the omnipotent answer.
But for Richard and Nelson Sr., Iverson was a good choice.
Iverson's popularity has not diminished for many years, whether it is in the United States or the world, there are many fans, if he comes to the Warriors, at least it will help the team's publicity, and the team's tickets will not have to worry - of course, there is no need to worry now, Chamberlain is one of the league's best-selling stars.
Richard believed that Iverson could help him make more money than he invested, so even if he had to pay luxury tax for Iverson, he would not hesitate to do so.
Old Nelson wants to replace Ellis with Iverson, and his idea may make Iverson sad: Damn, the king of the Lao Tzu generation has fallen to the point of being on a par with a guy of Ellis's level, what kind of world is this?
Iverson is as unreliable as Ellis's defense, but in the next two or three years, Iverson's offense is definitely much stronger than Ellis, and the elder Nelson believes that Iverson's peak is about to pass, and he will become the kind of veteran who can only play as a substitute in three years at most, but before that, he is still the killer king who everyone fears.
As for what will happen to Iverson in two or three years, Nelson Sr. has already selected an assistant for Chamberlain, West will take over as a shooting guard, and Curry will be the starting choice for playmaking guard.
The key is that the old Nelson has studied Iverson, a guard like Iverson and an inside line like Chamberlain are a perfect match, the former can reach the final by giving a Mutombo at his peak, and if he was given a Chamberlain, he would have won the championship a long time ago.
The group was discussing the lineup change plan fiercely, Chamberlain's phone rang, he answered the phone, and Li Qun's excited voice sounded on the opposite side: "Z, you must not have thought that someone donated to our foundation, oh my God, it could be more than five million dollars!" Do you know that since I became the president, I have been unable to negotiate a donation of more than $10,000 every day, which is 5 million. ”
Chamberlain was also surprised, who was so rich that he invested five million in his foundation? He hurriedly asked the name of the investor, and Li Qun was silent for a moment, and then spit out an unexpected but reasonable name: "Taylor Swift".
Chamberlain hung up the phone, Richard laughed, he squeezed Chamberlain's eyes, and said, "Z, one thing I have to tell you, I have a friend who is Taylor's best friend, and she told me that Taylor has said more than once in private that he wants to marry you in the future. ”
Hearing this, the corners of Chamberlain's mouth twitched, and he said with a wry smile: "Taylor and I are just ordinary friends, seriously, man, I have self-knowledge, except for playing well, I have no other advantages, so I am satisfied to have Li Qun as my lover." ”
Richard sighed, put his chin in his hands and said, "Yes, I agree with you, Z, I don't understand why Taylor's above-eyed girl would take such a desperate look at you." ”
Chamberlain was about to explain, Richard waved his hand and said: "Remind you, Taylor is different from other women, she is the kind of girl who likes to accumulate thick hair, well, how to say it, when she wants to do something, she may not have said anything in the early stage, but once she does it, it will be absolutely earth-shattering!" ”
"Like a donation to Fund Z?" Nelson Sr. asked with a smile, he thought for a moment and said to his son Nelson Jr., "It's amazing to go back and send a million-dollar check to Fund Z, we haven't supported Z in this matter yet." ”
Little Nelson smiled and nodded, and he continued to tease Chamberlain: "Z, your foundation hasn't even received a donation of more than $10,000?" That's a bit unreasonable. ”
When Chamberlain answered the phone just now, everyone didn't speak, the room was very quiet, Li Qun was so excited that he spoke loudly, and everyone heard it clearly.
Chamberlain was a little depressed, and Richard suddenly said: "Man, there is one thing I have to say, Li Qun is a good girl, I know this better than you, I can see this from the fact that she took care of my grandmother, but a good girl may not be suitable for managing the Foundation, if you don't mind, I would like to recommend you a candidate, she will definitely be able to make your Foundation vigorous." ”
