Chapter 173: He may become the richest man in the world in the future
"Create brilliance again! The Chinese men's basketball team defeated the United States Dream Team and won the World Championships for the first time! ”
"Twice defeated dream team, Wang Chao proved with his strength that he is the nemesis of the United States men's basketball team!"
"The battle for the scoring champion reappeared, Wang Chao vs. Durant in the final of the World Championships, 37 points vs 28 points, Wang Chao defeated Durant again, proving the gold content of the scoring champion!"
"Coach of the United States men's basketball team: The continuous defeats should make us reflect on whether the NBA's superstars are too contemptuous of the international arena? We've lost too many games, the Olympics, the World Championships, and if we don't get it seriously, we're going to be a fiasco in London two years from now. ”
Obviously, Lao K is putting pressure on those top stars in the league.
If the strength of the players under her command is insufficient, no matter how the coach strategizes, he is powerless.
The U.S. men's basketball team is different from other national teams, which may start preparing for the Olympics or the World Championships a year or two in advance, have a stable roster, tacit cooperation between players, high tactical execution, and are also familiar with FIBA rules.
Due to the excessive number of talents in the United States men's basketball team, the members of almost every dream team have changed a lot, the training time is short, the run-in degree is low, and most of the players are from the NCAA, they have accepted the NBA basketball rules since childhood, and they are not very adaptable to the rules of the international basketball league system.
After two defeats at the 2008 Olympics and the 2010 World Championships, the country's homegrown stars should be under pressure from public opinion, and the 2012 London Olympics will surely come out of the nest and rebuild the glory of the dream team.
……
The victory of the World Championships, although it did not set off a national craze in China like the Olympic championship, but it also swept the headlines in half a day, and CCTV news broadcasts reported in detail the honor of the Chinese men's basketball team in the World Championships at noon.
The leaders of the Basketball Association are going to laugh crookedly, the Olympic gold medal and the men's basketball world championship are all historic breakthroughs in Chinese basketball, which is enough for them to be promoted several levels before retirement.
And they all know that all this is thanks to Wang Chao, although in the early years because of some things a little unpleasant, but these unpleasantness has long disappeared with time and the two championships, some people are still counting on Wang Chao to lead the Chinese men's basketball team to fight for a medal in 12 years, so as to add another sum to their political achievements, when Da Yao is 35 years old, it must depend on Wang Chao's play, so Wang Chao will be all the way through the green light in China, and try to meet it.
A few years ago, Wang Chao would rather be banned than bow his head and compromise, things have made it clear to many people, Wang Chao is a donkey, working with him, it is impossible to suppress people with power, and the result of hard will only be a lose-lose situation, if it was a little better when Wang Chao's reputation was not prominent in the past, now Wang Chao has become the first person in Asia who deserves his name, and even because of his honor of three NBA championships, it is not an exaggeration to be called the first person in the world basketball world.
In this case, once there is a contradiction between the Basketball Association and Wang Chao, it is difficult to say who will take advantage, rather than taking the risk of fighting a lose-lose situation, it is better to follow Wang Chao's meaning, hello, hello, everyone.
Therefore, after winning the World Championships, Wang Chao conveyed an idea to the Basketball Association through Da Yao, in order to concentrate on preparing for the NBA games and playing better results, he will only participate in the national team competitions of the Olympic Games and the World Championships in the future, and will not play in continental competitions, which is also to exercise the ability of other players in the Chinese men's basketball team and give them more opportunities to play and express themselves.
The conditions proposed by Wang Chao were finally approved by the Basketball Association after a meeting to discuss and under the arguments of Da Yao.
In this way, Wang Chao does not need to be like Da Yao, no matter what big or small games the Huaguo men's basketball team has, he has to go back to China to participate.
Although Wang Chao, who has the talent of steel and iron bones and the potion of stamina, will not be overly tired or even induced by participating in these additional competitions, but this year time is money, and with the time to participate in these low-level competitions that are not competitive for him, he might as well invest time in training, which can be more conducive to the improvement of his strength.
This is also the judgment made after winning the World Championships according to the rewards given by the system.
Wang Chao originally thought that the World Championships, as the highest-level international basketball event like the Olympic Games, should have the same generous rewards as the Olympic Games.
But the fact is that the system only gave a reward of 1,000 points in the end, which disappointed Wang Chaochao.
But if you think about it, it's a reasonable reward, and although the World Championships and the Olympics are on the same level, the difficulty of the competition is very different.
The United States men's basketball team sent a group of second-year rookies, and the main core players of other international teams rarely played, which can be seen that in fact, most international teams do not have a high degree of thirst for World Championship results, which is completely different from the Chinese men's basketball team that wants to win the World Championships and make achievements.
Even the rewards of the World Championships are still like this, Wang Chao can fully imagine how shabby the rewards of the Asian Championships will be, after all, the Chinese men's basketball team, which has only the top eight in the history of the World Championships, is an absolute hegemon on the Asian Championships stage.
Wang Chao, who learned about the situation, immediately had no interest in participating in low-level continental events.
And now he really has no shortage of points.
With the arrival of the 1,000 points reward for winning the World Championships, Wang Chao's current vending machine amount is as high as 12,000 points, even if it is calculated according to the consumption of 3 bottles of training potions per day and 16 hours of training time, it will take a full 400 days to use up, if you take into account the situation that the game day, daily rest, and training days are only 8 hours, using 2 or even 1 bottle of training potions, plus the points rewards for regular playoff victories and S+ that will continue to be earned during this periodSeason-rated rewards...... I don't know if it will be used until the Year of the Monkey.
I can't spend it, I can't spend it at all!
……
Like winning gold in the Capital Olympics, Wang Chao after winning the World Championships, first returned to China and participated in several highly influential domestic media interviews with the national team, including CCTV official interviews, and then attended several important domestic endorsement product activities.
Wang Chao's commercial endorsement income in China has now surpassed that of Da Yao.
After all, Wang Chao not only plays hard enough, but also has the potential to be a temperament idol with his sunny and handsome appearance, and his popularity among young people in China is far better than that of Da Yao, who has a national character face.
After the interview and commercial endorsement activities, Wang Chao took the time to go home and accompany his parents for two days.
However, this year, Wang Chao did not continue to buy real estate in the capital.
In fact, since last year, that is, in 2009, Wang Chao has invested a salary in a virtual currency.
That's Bitcoin.
As a traverser, not speculating on Bitcoin is no different from losing money.
Although it is very common for bitcoin to rise and fall wildly, the overall trend is determined by the development of the world and the economy.
The arrival of Wang Chao has caused many historical changes in the butterfly effect in this world, but with Wang Chao's influence, I am afraid that there is no way to affect this general trend.
From the official birth of 09 to the time of Wang Chao's crossing in 2023, the increase in bitcoin has reached an exaggerated 20 million times, in other words, if you buy a dollar of bitcoin in 09, you will be worth as much as 20 million after 14 years without doing anything!
Although Wang Chao was a little worried, worried that his coffee position was really big enough to affect the trend of the world, he could still take this risk.
Give it a go, turn your bike into a motorcycle!
From the beginning of 09 to September 2010, Wang Chao has invested nearly five million US dollars one after another.
It's not that Wang Chao doesn't want to buy more, after all, he now counts the team contract and various commercial endorsements, and even after deducting taxes, his annual income is more than 20 million US dollars, but he has money, and he doesn't have so many coins for him to buy.
In the initial stage, the issuance of bitcoin was not large, and the price was extremely low, requiring only a few cents per coin.
Until the end of 2010, the cumulative number of bitcoins issued was only 5 million, and Wang Chao did not have the ability to recover all these bitcoins even if he was in NB, in fact, he was already recovering bitcoins as much as possible at a price higher than the market price.
He had the impression that by 2012, 20 million bitcoins would be issued, and the price would skyrocket from 2013.
Therefore, in the next few years, he will invest at least $5 million every year to buy bitcoins, and buy and sell them according to the time period he remembers the rise and fall of bitcoins.
In this way, after ten years, Wang Chao may become the richest man in Asia or even the richest man in the world.
When he retires, he can buy an NBA team and enjoy the luxury of an emperor in his old age.
Of course, there is also a possibility that Bitcoin will not soar all the way as it did in history, but will completely collapse into a string of useless numbers due to the cascading effect of the butterfly effect.
But even then, Wang Chao is only losing 5 million a year, judging from his current earning capacity of 20 million US dollars a year and a long career in the future, it is nothing more than trillions of billionaires becoming billionaires, and there will be no particularly obvious changes in nature.
……
Making money is just a small episode, Wang Chao will not invest too much energy in this, he does not have that interest, for him, these investments are just the interest of being a traverser, just like Jordan, Barkley loves to gamble money, and in Las Vegas he may be able to throw millions of coins overnight.
It's good to make money from investment, but if you can't earn Wang Chao, you won't have too much sense of loss.
In fact, the thing that can really make Wang Chao feel happy and have a sense of accomplishment is basketball.
At the end of September, Wang Chao said goodbye to his family, ended his vacation, and returned to the Magic team to report.
During Wang Chao's World Championships in Turkey, the league's trades and signings were still proceeding in an orderly manner, and the Magic team was no exception.
They were drafted with first-round No. 30 rookie Lazar. Hayward completed the signing, and then signed Mike with a three-year mid-class contract of 17.28 million and an average annual salary of 5.76 million. Miller, who signed '05 three-point contest champion Quentin for another three years and $7.5 million. Richardson.
These three signings expand the Magic's roster to 13 players.
If nothing else, the Magic will look for two players on the free market for short-term contracts, fill the roster with 15 players, and decide whether to offer them long-term contracts before the end of the preseason.
As for the recruitment work of the Magic team, Wang Chao does not comment.
But they can persuade to come to Mike. Miller surprised Wang Chao a little.
Because in his impression, Mike. Miller should have signed with the Miami Heat, rushed to hug the thighs of the Big Three, and got two championship rings with the Heat.
This is obviously the credit of the Magic team for two championships and one runner-up in the past three years.
Miller made such a decision after weighing the chances of the Magic and Heat winning the championship.
In terms of contract amount, compared to the Miami Heat, which offers a three-year contract of 16.29 million, the Magic team bid $1 million higher, don't underestimate this $1 million, for a player like Miller who is approaching the end of his career, 1 million is not a small number.
Moreover, even from the perspective of the game, Miller, who is good at three-point shooting, has more opportunities to play on the Magic team with a one-star shooting system than the Heat.
As for Quentin. Richardson, who is also a player who is good at three-point shooting, is both swing guards, plus Ariza and rookie rookie Lazar. Hayward, the Magic team hoarded multiple players at the small forward position, and the purpose was obvious to Wang Chao.
But if nothing else, Miller averaged 5.6 points per game in 2010-11 and Quentin Richardson averaged 4.4 points per game, and the two tied up for just 10 points.
Even if the environment is different and the situation is different, Wang Chao does not think that they will regain the second spring of their career.
So Miller 5.76 million, Richardson 2.27 million, the 8 million dollars...... No, strictly speaking, the luxury tax should be $16 million, and the Magic spent it like a big injustice.
However, since the management of the Magic team is willing to spend this money, it has nothing to do with Wang Chao.
On September 25th, all members of the Magic team officially reported and began training.
Howard and O'Neal became the two living treasures of the team, and O'Neal at the end of his career was very fond of spoofing and joking off the field, which happened to be similar to Howard, the happy beast, and the two did bring a lot of joy to the team during training.
O'Neal is actually using this method to alleviate the embarrassment, after all, the two sides met in the playoffs last season and had a big war of words.
And in the process, O'Neal also praised Howard's talent and ability many times, and guided Howard to practice inside footwork and hook hands, and the relationship between the two rose rapidly.
This is one of the reasons why the Magic are willing to accept O'Neal, and they also hope that O'Neal's superb interior skills can be taught to Howard, even if Howard only learns some scratches, and the offensive ability under the basket will be greatly improved.
