Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Money, where did all my money go?

Li Shengli's original rookie contract was much worse than O'Neal's. O'Neal earned 11.7 million in three years, while Li Shengli earned less than 9.4 million. But 9.4 million is not a lot. His little ledger clearly recorded... He actually had about 4.5 million, of which 3 million was given to Old Turner for investment.

There is a rather embarrassing data...

NBA players are very successful when they are playing and belong to the high-income group. However, after retiring and within five years, more than half of the players will go bankrupt. Probably the most fundamental reason is that after retirement, their income drops sharply and they have to spend more money. Infinite.

We all know how crazy players who suddenly get rich can be. Coupled with the stimulation of consumerism, many people still have a nouveau riche mentality. They spend a lot of money when they make money, but they are confused as soon as they retire.

Fortunately, Li Shengli is a weirdo who loves to save money, just like a squirrel who crazily collects pine seeds for the winter. He has worked hard to save for three years, but Thompson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and old Turner took it all away.

You can't spend money randomly. How about we save it for you first and let the money lay eggs? !

This kind of words sounds like "unscrupulous" parents defrauding their children of New Year's money, but in fact...

Li Shengli didn't see a single dollar, and he, as a financial backer, was taking advantage of this offseason to inspect the property.

The funds actually handed over to Old Turner for operation are about 3 million. After all, the renovation of the villa area in Greenville City can be regarded as real estate investment, but 3 million is not a lot. Calculating based on the official exchange rate of 8.3 in 1995, it is almost 2,500. Ten thousand in local currency, which was a huge sum of money in China at that time!

Can’t eat enough to lay eggs?

But you have to let me see the chicken coop when you're riding a horse, right?

…

In order to take a look at the chicken coop, Li Shengli transferred from Dallas to the capital and returned home in a low-key manner. In fact, he wanted to be more high-profile, but in this era there are no crazy fans to pick up the airport, and there is no team to package and build momentum, so when he arrived at the Capital Airport, It didn't cause much trouble.

Wearing casual clothes, carrying a shoulder bag, and wearing big sunglasses, Li Shengli was no different from the people walking around him, but his height was too eye-catching, attracting passers-by to look at him. Old Turner was supposed to be here today. The person who picked him up at the airport just told him not to come because he had a cousin who had been living in Beijing for several years and would come to pick him up today.

"Shengli, Shengli, I, I, here it is!" There was no need for a pick-up sign at all. He just shouted with his voice. As soon as his eldest cousin opened his voice, Li Shengli found someone immediately, dressed like a nouveau riche.

"Holy shit, are you doing well now?" Li Shengli was a little excited.

"Hahaha, please show some respect to me and don't mess around with me. Your brother and I are also successful people now!" The cousin laughed and cursed, then hit Li Shengli's chest, "But I'm far worse than you. Now, you are already a big star, hahaha, let’s go, I’ll stay here for the next few days, where do you want to go first? I’m familiar with this place, and I’ll treat you to a meal in the evening!”

"Why, aren't you going to work today?"

"What class do you work in? Your brother and I are self-employed."

"That's good, let's go, I'll go with you for a walk today and see the world!"

…

After chatting for a few words, the two brothers walked out of the airport and got into a taxi. At this time, taxis were still vans, so there was no need to worry about not being able to fit Li Shengli in. It was a bit frustrating, but okay. You don’t have to walk, you can have a guide.

Speaking of this cousin... Li Shengli hasn't seen him for several years.

In rural areas, naming children is more casual. You can grab a lot of Goudan, Guawa, and Maoya. This is not even a nickname. Just put the surname in front and the nickname will be enough. And Li Shengli My uncle was born in the 1950s and had little education. When he gave birth to this cousin, the news about the Dongfanghong-1 satellite happened to be reported every day in the newspapers, so he decided to name his cousin based on local materials, just with the surname "Mei" It's really hard to choose a name.

Mei Dongfang?

Mei satellite?

Seriously, if someone with this kind of name registered as a registered permanent resident in the 1970s, wouldn't that be causing trouble?

So Uncle Li Shengli opened his mouth and gave his son a resounding name... Mei Wenhua!

This is not a joke. Taking this name in a special period is a sign of toughness, and Li Shengli’s cousin’s name is Mei Wenhua. Although he lives up to his name, when it comes to making money... there is no difference between courage and culture, and Mei Wenhua, brave!

…

The first station.

Cousin Mei Wenhua of course wanted Li Shengli to see the 'kingdom' he had built over the past few years, so the van went straight to Zhongguancun Electronic Street, walked through the streets and alleys, and finally arrived at the destination, the 'kingdom' of his cousin.

Is there a cultural media company?

It's said to be a company, but it's actually just a small shop, up to 40 square meters, and Li Shengli believes 10,000%... this must be his cousin's shop, because just by looking at the three words "cultured", he can stand out. Guess it.

Wouldn't it look particularly uneducated to just be called 'cultured'?

Li Shengli was simply impressed by his uncle’s family’s naming skills!

…

"How about it, I know what you are thinking. But don't underestimate the small size of my store. The capital is no better than the countryside. My rent here is comparable to their annual turnover!" Mei Wenhua said to herself that this store is small. Jiye was very proud, but what made Li Shengli feel embarrassed was...the door of the shop was locked.

What does this mean?

Are you, Mei Wenhua, the only one co-authoring this big company? The boss went out and the store immediately closed down without even a clerk!

"Okay, I know you are awesome, okay." Li Shengli laughed and cursed. Since he was his cousin, there was no need to talk to him politely. He asked directly: "I said, I am here to pawn for you today." The bodyguard is here? It looks like you can’t leave, right?"

"Why are you so anxious? I'll take you out for a walk in the evening. You really think I can eat without having to work. What are you thinking about?" Mei Wenhua took out the key and reopened the business, leading Li Shengli in. The store, and the long and narrow shop was a bit crowded, with a stack of Wanyan brand VCDs and a full set of supporting CDs, which were popular at the time, on both sides, which was very in line with the atmosphere of the era.

"Look, this is a VCD. I can get 3,000 yuan in and 5,000 yuan out. Do you think it's great? Even if a family in our village works for a year, they may not be able to afford one, and I... sell it for 2 yuan. One VCD will support them for one year!" After taking a few VCDs, Mei Wenhua was quite proud.

Damn it, one can make two thousand?

This is simply a money grab, because the purchasing power of two thousand yuan was so amazing in China in the 1990s. Even though Li Shengli was rich, he was still shocked by the deal of three thousand yuan in exchange for two thousand profits.

Strictly speaking, the 3,000 yuan spent to purchase goods cannot be counted as a cost. The only costs that can be counted are the interest generated by the 3,000 yuan principal and the store rent, water and electricity. But even if the store rent is not low, a VCD can be resold for 2,000 yuan. The transaction is already very exaggerated.

…

"How many units can you sell in a day?"

"How many units are sold in a day? Darling, you really think there are so many rich people. To tell you the truth, I may not be able to sell one unit in two months, otherwise your brother and I would have sold it." Mei Wenhua curled her lips, "You Look at the store next door, the store selling recorders has not been open for three months."

"Can you survive without opening for three months?"

"There's nothing you can do about it. To eat this bowl of rice, you have to use money to carry it. Whoever can't carry it first gets out!"

"Are you saying that this business is very expensive?" Li Shengli was not in the mood to care about the bad things like the boy next door who was about to lose his ability, but his cousin, Mei Wenhua, was his own cousin.

"That's for sure. It's like this in all walks of life. The capital is big and the profit is big, the capital is small and the profit is small. The poor get poorer and the rich get richer!"

"What if you have the capital?"

"What? You don't want to invest in me, do you?"

The meaning of Li Shengli's words was too obvious. His cousin's name was Mei Wenming but not Mei Nao Nao. As soon as he heard this, he knew it was correct, because the relationship between the cousins ​​was not utilitarian. They were both members of the family who wanted to invest. Anyway, just separate the accounts clearly. One hundred and eighty thousand is a lot of money, but you can still calculate it clearly.

"I'm thinking about it, but I... don't have any money!"

"No money? Damn, why are you so miserable when I go abroad with you?"

Li Shengli is not lying. He really has no money. The team's salary and food expenses are left in the old Turner's chicken coop. Mei Wenhua is not lying either, because the domestic coverage of NBA events is only limited to In the event itself, unless you are an insider, you really don't know how rich Li Shengli is...

"Nonsense, I'm... it's not that miserable anyway. It's okay to find a few friends to join in!" Li Shengli's first thought was to take advantage of O'Neal, and give him a hundred thousand, and then take advantage of Curry and Kidd. Qian's emergency relief will be over after the salary is paid next season. It's not too much. Anyway, I won't lay eggs for the old Turner for the time being, so investing in my cousin is not a big deal.

"No, you are going to lend me money to invest!" Mei Wenhua's face darkened, "I don't know what your situation is like in the United States, but borrowing money is still not good. There is no need to borrow less. It hurts your feelings too much. Doing business requires turnover, but your situation is different. Stop thinking about these messy things when you have nothing to do."

"Damn, you don't even want me to invest in you?"

"Then you can't borrow it. What's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal. My friends are all rich. Don't just worry about me."

"Bullshit, aren't you my brother? If I don't worry about you, if I don't talk about your mother or my aunt, my father will beat me to death. Also, I'm so weird. On TV I see you yelling and screaming on the court every day, and you still like to shout nonsense when you have nothing to do, like a fool, how come you are so miserable?"

…

What are you talking about?

Are you still shouting nonsense while riding a horse?

That's the momentum of playing a game. How come you have become such a fool?

Li Shengli was shocked by Mei Wenhua, but it was troublesome to explain this thing. "Okay, then I won't borrow it. I will just take the money in my hand and invest it all in you."

"Vote all to me? How many?" Mei Wenhua was stunned.

"About this number!" Li Shengli raised his index finger.

"Ten thousand? It's a lot of money, but it's not of much use."

"no."

"That's 100,000?" Mei Wenhua was shocked, "Fuck, yes, you are really rich. You can get 100,000 just by doing it."

"No."

"Damn, it's not ten thousand or one hundred thousand, it's one thousand. You're kidding me!" Mei Wenhua didn't dare to think further.

"Why do you have so much courage?"

"What do you mean? You don't mean to tell me it's one million, do you?"

"yes!"

"Wait...wait a minute, what did you just say?"

"One million."

"Where's the front?"

"I vote for you."

"No, say the previous sentence."

"Which sentence is that? I don't have much money?"

"You, you, you...I'll beat you to death like a little bunny."

…

Mei Wenhua went crazy. At this moment, his concept of having money and having no money had collapsed.

I don’t have much money, but I just picked out a million. If I don’t have much money, then what does it mean to be rich?

Mei Wenhua wanted to beat up Li Shengli for passively showing off his wealth, but Li Shengli was wronged because he really took out all the remaining private money in his hands.

Finally, after repeated confirmation by Mei Wenhua, he realized for the first time that the gap between class and rich and poor could be so big, "Huh... Victory, you, you, you... tell me, what can you do in a year?" How much money do you make? I don’t want to work hard anymore. You can take me to the United States and I can do laundry and cooking for you.”

"This... you better not ask, I'm afraid I'll irritate you."

"Will it irritate me to death?"

"According to the situation you heard a million, I think... it should be possible!"

"Damn it, did you become a bandit in the United States? How could I make so much money when I'm done with it?" Mei Wenhua couldn't calm down, but still corrected his position, "Forget it, I don't care. When will you receive the money? Your brother and I are going to do a big job. Your investment will count as your boss and I will work for you!"

"In two days, I have something to do tomorrow. You can do whatever you want with the money."

"Okay, then you have time to make a contract, documents, etc. with me. The brothers will settle the accounts clearly. Don't tell me that the money is not much or that it doesn't matter. Don't say this to me. Give your brother some face."

"Ahem... Then in a few days, I'll ask my agent to handle this matter."

"Okay, don't tease me, or if you go back to your hometown during the Chinese New Year, I'll poke the back of your old Li family!" Mei Wenhua said in a trembling voice, but then thought of another thing, "Is it okay for me to recruit someone to join the gang? It's the guy next door. I'll take you to meet him in a minute. This guy has a good mind, but he's just a little bit hot. His store won't be able to survive. I'm looking for ways to help him and we can build a large-scale company together. .”

"When I saw him doing anything, I said it's up to you." Li Shengli waved his hand, "But I have a request, can we not call him 'educated'? I'm really impressed by your and my uncle's naming abilities. , good or bad, you have to change it."

"Go away, do you think I think so? If you can, tell my father, how dare you? Oh, forget it, I don't care about this, just use Dongzi's door."

"Where did this thing come from?"

"A newly graduated college student who is educated and likes to buy second-hand goods. His nickname is Liu Qiangdong."

"What's the name of the door next door?"

"Qiangdong Multimedia!"

"What the hell is this name? Why isn't it called Qiantou Multimedia? It's not as "cultured" as you."

"Then let me tell you, you are the big boss!"

"If he is willing, he will change the wall into a capital."

"Jingdong?"
