Chapter 477: The Opportunity That Lies Before Us (Part 2)

Min Congda, who received $1.5 million, temporarily stopped tossing and began to enjoy his good life in Los Angeles.

Of course, as a working-class person in China, the first thought after getting the money was not to buy a car or luxury goods, but to invest a part of it in the stock market and continue to increase its holdings in Apple's stock.

Apple's stock price will continue to rise for many years to come, because there will be a high income tax if you sell it directly for money, so Min Congda is ready to take more shares to eat dividends.

At present, the price of Apple's share has reached $445, which has doubled from when Min Congda bought Apple shares two years ago.

After two years of doubling the market, many investors have doubled their principal, and have left the stock market and taken profits.

But Min Congda no, he knows that Apple's stock is far from rising, only more than $400, which is still a very low price.

For $1.5 million, he took out another $1 million to buy more than 20,000 Apple shares in one go, plus the Apple shares he had purchased before, the total number of shares he held had reached 35,000 shares.

With the hot sale of the iPhone, Apple's stock price has increased greatly in the past two years, so at the beginning of 12 years, Apple has decided to start paying stock dividends this year, and the initial dividend plan is $2.65 per share.

Therefore, with a single dividend, Min Congda can get more than $90,000 in dividends.

Although Min Congda is not a U.S. citizen, because he has lived and lived in the United States for a long time, he has to pay 30% dividend tax on stock dividends

In other words, a dividend can get $70,000, and then more than $20,000 will be cut off by the IRS.

Although I feel distressed, more than 70,000 US dollars is nearly 500,000 yuan, and the annual salary can be 500,000 yuan.

Besides, with nearly $1 million in cash in his hand, he didn't know where to put it.

He remembered that there should be some bitcoins coming out in a while, and it was also the existence of the crazy rise in value in the later stage, and maybe he could stock up on a little at that time.

Then he thought about saving up and buying a house in Los Angeles.

Although $1 million can't buy a luxury house, it's enough to get a good set of large flats or detached houses.

In short, relying on a bucket of popcorn, Min Congda gained a short period of wealth and freedom, and his soul was relaxed and satisfied, and he temporarily put the bankruptcy cause behind.

What is the signing and operation of the Great Western Forum Arena, as well as letting Jerry West be the team's consultant, etc., are all handled by Rosser, Olsche, and others.

This time he didn't rent a yacht, he was tired of fishing, and February was not a good season for fishing.

He chose to go to California's National Forest Park with his friends to enjoy the beautiful mountain atmosphere, hunt by the way, and call for the primitive and ambitious part of his heart.

Of course, there are also a group of beautiful international students with them, and as for whether there will be some fierce battles in the wild, it depends on their own ideas and means.

Although there is still a lack of an official breakup with D'Addario, they have not been in touch since their last game with the Lakers.

On some nights, Min Congda will feel very uncomfortable in his heart, all kinds of good memories from the past keep coming to mind, like salt water washing over bloody wounds, painful, but more can also be disinfected, and the wound will heal.

This kind of separation, which does not have too much noise and arguments, is a good result for Min Congda.

It's not a good thing for a relationship to collapse when it's already crumbling.

Otherwise, in the constant tearing and repetition, it will be eroded into broken walls, which will only make the originally beautiful emotional edifice become dilapidated and ugly, and it is better to disappear with a "boom" and leave a complete photo in my heart.

And just when Min Congda was happily celebrating the New Year with 1.5 million, the Los Angeles Clippers started a road trip.

In the last two games, the Clippers have shown their inconsistency.

When it's strong, it's really strong, and Director Lu has a few sets of lineups in his hands to play casually, it all depends on how Director Lu is feeling today.

When you are weak, you have to fight with your opponent, because the biggest problem brought about by big rotation is that the player's state is easy to be unstable.

For example, when playing the Jazz, Harden was in excellent shape, scoring a triple-double of 22 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in a single game.

Scored his first career triple-double.

But in the next game against the Nuggets, Harden couldn't get out of shape in the first quarter.

And because the Clippers' lineup is very thick, Coach Lu didn't wait for Harden to come out, and Butler and George appeared one after another.

As a result, Harden's form didn't play for the whole game.

Even with Curry's bad form tonight, and there weren't many opportunities to be out of shape, the rotation began again.

To put it bluntly, with the Clippers, if you want to play well, it's better to microwave yourself.

Back to back, I don't have a good rest at home, I go out to play with women, drink, stay up late, and I don't have a good state of competition at night.

I'm sorry, but even if you're a star in the team, the manager won't give you time to get your hands dirty.

The Clippers have a lot of young players who need to play time to gain experience.

And Tyronn Lue is different from Steve Cole and Dunleavy.

If Steve Kerr were the head coach, he would have built a tactical system entirely around Curry.

Except for the two axes of Curry and Gasol Jr., everyone else revolves around Curry, and Harden can be a bench killer.

If it was Dunleavy, he would definitely appreciate the Harden-Randolph combination more and develop Curry into a scoring point guard.

Then Leonard, George, and others complement it as role players.

In short, they will definitely build a solid structure and tinker with it.

Tyronn Lue is no, he's the only one on the Clippers who really believes in the "everybody's got the ball" strategy.

And as the season progressed, the number of coaching games gradually increased, and the belief in this principle became more and more believable.

Sometimes there are some arguments with Steve Kerr, and Coach Lu will come up with the theory of "everyone has a ball" to refute Kerr, and Kerr really can't help it.

Who makes the Clippers Smart manager the biggest?

So, the Clippers, full of potential and full of instability, started this six-game trip.

The first opponent is the rebuilt Washington Wizards.

Although the Wizards have the top pick Wall, their overall strength is too different from the Clippers.

The Clippers, who rested for two days, unleashed a massacre in the capital, 121:81, and a 40-point advantage easily took out the Wizards.

Curry and Harden combined for 62 points, while Wall had only 14 points and seven assists, and the two taught the top show a good lesson.

Then the Clippers moved to Orlando to challenge the Magic.

The Magic began to enter a downward trajectory after 10 and 11 years of successive failures.

Turkoglou's return didn't put the Magic back on track in '09.

This is the end of the Turkish agent's magic, but Howard still has superior power.

Tectrou faced the encirclement and suppression of young forwards such as George, Leonard, and Butler all over the court, and did not score a point on 0-of-7 shooting.

Howard scored 33 points in the air, and the Magic was still lost by the Clippers by a 110-103, 7-point deficit after resisting the whole game.

The countdown to the Monster's departure from Orlando shifted back a little more.

However, after this game, the Clippers had some injury problems.

Backup defender Dragic will miss a week with an elbow injury.

Ricky Davis is undergoing two weeks of treatment for a thigh injury.

So, on Feb. 7, the day before the Clippers were due to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers, the coaching staff activated the dormant Jeremy Lin and Tucker, placing them on the 12-man roster.

For Jeremy Lin, an opportunity is just around the corner.

Some people died, but not completely......
