My 1999

On the plane from Hangzhou to Shanghai, I took advantage of the time.

Xu Liang took up his pen and calculated.

The money invested in Alibaba will be deducted and reserved for the acquisition of the Shanghai Magic World Financial Center.

Yangcheng Zhongcheng Square.

Silver City Center.

China's No. 1 shopping mall.

Haitian Plaza.

Gongzhufen Commercial Building.

The funds for these six unfinished buildings.

Red Rock Fund now has $602 million in cash remaining.

"There are still 600 million left, so we have to spend it carefully."

"Mr. Xu, we have arrived at the Magic City." Lu Hui reminded.

Xu Liang nodded and could see the huge city below through the hanging window.

In fact, Hangzhou is not far from the capital city of Shanghai. He originally planned to come directly by car. After all, applying for domestic routes is very troublesome.

But the Hangzhou government was very considerate and helped him apply for a flight route in advance. He couldn't ignore their kindness, so he flew over.

The plane landed and after Xu Liang got off, a young woman wearing a women's suit and short hair stepped forward to greet him.

"Mr. Xu."

Xu Liang held the right hand that the other party extended.

"Sister Xu, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Your Excellency is very busy, flying all over the world, but you don't meet much." Xu Xin said with a smile, "I've prepared the car, let's go up and talk."

Xu Liang nodded.

The two got in the car and drove towards the Bank of China Building in Pudong, the office of Hanhua Capital's Magic City branch.

After passing through the Yan'an East Road Tunnel, Xu Liang couldn't help but look ahead.

Lujiazui, the famous economic center of China, now looks like a large construction site.

The half-finished World Financial Center, Ping An Financial Building, Aurora Tower, etc., which are still under construction, although they have the shadow of prosperity in later generations, are still far away from the Lujiazui in Xu Liang's impression.

After driving in, Xu Liang found that there were still many open spaces in Lujiazui.

“Do all these plots have owners?”

"Some do, some don't. Are you interested?" Xu Xin asked.

"Hanhua has a real estate investment fund, and Hongyan is also engaged in real estate business."

"The prime land plots in Lujiazui are all individually approved by the government, but with Hanhua's qualifications, it shouldn't be difficult to apply for one," Xu Xindao said.

Xu Liang nodded.

While talking, he came to the office of Hanhua Capital in the Magic City.

From here you can not only overlook the Huangpu River, but also clearly see the unfinished building of the Shanghai Magic City Global Center.

"Mr. Xu, this is the investment status of our Mars 3 Fund."

Xu Liang took it and took a look.

Real Kung Fu 15%, $800,000.

Haidilao, 12%, US$1 million.

NetEase, 12.7%, $5.5 million.

All three were investments last year.

We have already invested in three companies this year.

Kim Hans, 15%, $1.4 million.

Deqingyuan Egg, 20%, US$500,000.

Comba Communications, 15%, US$6 million.

Xu Liang's eyes couldn't help but fall on 'Commission Communications'. Among all the investment projects of the Mars 3 Fund, Comba Communications had the highest investment amount, which made him curious.

Take a closer look.

It turned out to be a communication system and base station antenna.

Xu Liang didn’t know much about this, so he didn’t comment too much.

Xu Xin is responsible for the investment of Mars 3 Fund, and he basically does not interfere.

"Besides these, are there any other companies you would like to inspect again?"

"The Internet industry is not there for the time being. The Nasdaq crisis has done too much harm and good companies are scarce. The rest is basically in your hands."

Xu Xin sighed a little in his heart.

The big boss himself has a very vicious vision in the Internet industry.

Countless Internet companies in China have more or less investments from him.

Xu Liang smiled. He was most familiar with the Internet industry and the education industry. In education, New Oriental did not need financing, and other familiar fields were basically absent. Naturally, it mainly focused on investing in the Internet.

"The catering industry is currently in contact with Yonghe King, Da Niang Dumplings and Quanjude, and there should be results in the second half of the year." Xu Xin continued.

Xu Liang nodded.

"You have good taste."

"With your jewels in front of me, I don't dare to slack off." Xu Xin said with a smile.

After talking about investment, Xu Liang walked around the company, held a small meeting with directors of various departments and company employees, and left after becoming familiar with each other.

Shangri-La Hotel, Presidential Suite.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Gordon is here."

Lu Hui knocked on the door and came in.

"Let him in."

Shortly after she turned to leave, a middle-aged white man in his early forties, wearing a black suit and tall and thin, walked in under Lu Hui's guidance.

Looking at a tall young man wearing a simple white T-shirt and black sweatpants.

Rick Gordon walked over quickly.

"Boss, it's an honor to meet you."

Xu Liang looked at the man who had just been selected by him and became the general manager of the Warriors.

He pointed to the seat next to him.

"sit down."

Rick Gordon sat down carefully next to him.

After becoming the manager of the Warriors, he already had some understanding of the big boss.

In addition to the other party's unparalleled business talent, he also seems to have a bad temper.

The glove-throwing showdown with Oracle boss Larry Ellison made the opponent famous all over the world.

"The regular season is over, and the Warriors are ranked at the bottom. What do you think?" Xu Liang said.

With 21 wins and 61 losses, a disastrous 25.6% winning rate puts the Warriors at the bottom of the Western Conference.

But Rick Gordon has no pressure on this. After all, it was a matter of his predecessor and has nothing to do with him.

"Boss, I think the Warriors should rebuild immediately."

Xu Liang made a continue gesture.

"The best player in the current Warriors lineup is Antawn Jamison. It is undeniable that he is indeed an excellent player, with 19.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.5 blocks, and 44.7% of his shots were successful. rate, he is also an All-Star level offensive player in the entire league.

But he has a taciturn character and is not suitable to be the leader and cornerstone of the team.

So I think we should use enough chips to exchange for a high draft pick in 2003 and choose a top inside player.

Especially the center position. "

Xu Liang nodded slightly, "What else?"

"The Warriors are too bloated. Especially in the paint, they have Dean Garrett, Adonal Foyle, Mark Jackson, Troy Murphy, Eric Dampier, and Cedric Henry. Desen, plus Danny Fortson makes seven people.

In positions 5 and 4, seven people are too many.

Players like Cedric Henderson and Dean Garrett who have barely played a few games should be waived as soon as possible.

‘Shark’ O’Neal is already thirty years old and will soon enter the twilight years of his career. There is absolutely no need to continue to accumulate so many people in the paint. After the layoff, the money saved can definitely buy players with higher value. "

"What you said is right, so in the next time, except for Troy Murphy and Eric Dampier, you can sell the rest to me." Xu Liangdao.

Eric Dampier, although not good offensively, is good defensively and has excellent frame protection ability.

Can be Yao Ming's substitute.

Troy Murphy was once one of the templates for Yi Jianlian to enter the NBA. At his peak, he averaged 15+10 points per game and could also play both power forward and center positions.

He and Eric Dampier played offense and defense, and the Warriors' interior bench lineup was considered the best in the league.

The key is that Troy Murphy is still a rookie selected by the Warriors in 2001. The three plus one contract can be used for three years at a cheap price, but he cannot sell it.

"Boss, is Danny Fortson also sold?"

This is the main inside line of 10+11.

"Sell."

An insider who can score 10+11 is on the same level as Troy Murphy. In an era when NBA insiders are scarce, he can earn an annual salary of tens of millions. He is definitely not a nobody.

In addition, he is the same generation as Yao Ming, so even if he can't remember the other person's achievements, he can definitely remember his name.

But he didn't remember the name at all, which meant that Danny Fordson most likely fell by the wayside.

The NBA is not one of two examples.

For example, ‘Auden the Great’, and another example is Kwame Brown.

So he doesn't plan to stay.

"Exchange this Danny Fordson plus Antoine Jamison for Ben Wallace of the Pistons." Xu Liang said.

Originally, he planned to exchange Danny Fordson for Larry Hughes, but the Pistons' No. 1 Chucky Atkins' data is not as good as Larry Hughes, but the gap is not too big.

It's hard for the Pistons to let go of their interior defensive core.

"Boss, Ben Wallace is just a blue-collar interior lineman with strong defensive ability. If we exchange Danny Fortson and Antoine Jamison, we will suffer a huge loss."

"If there is no temptation, why should the Pistons let go of their defensive core?"

There are many outstanding defensive players in NBA history, but the ones who won the Defensive Player of the Year four times in a row are Dikembe Mutombo and Ben Wallace.

This dark and tough guy is definitely the strongest knife-wielding guard around Yao Ming.

With the two of them working together, the Warriors' interior defense is definitely the strongest in the league.

As for Jamison, if there is a better choice, Xu Liang doesn’t want to let it go. Not many players can score 20,000 career points in the NBA.

But if you don't spend enough money, why should they give you the core of interior defense?

But there was another reason why he sold Jamison.

Comrade Jia was a rookie selected by the Warriors in 1998. His 3+1 contract expired this year. The new contract was signed when Xu Liang acquired the Warriors.

Forty-five million in four years.

That is an annual salary of over 10 million a year.

Jamison's ability is worthy of such a salary.

However, the key is that the Warriors also have two powerful attackers in Jason Richardson and "General" Arenas, especially the latter, who was stronger than Comrade Jia in his peak period.

And they are all rookies last year, so they can be used cheaply for a few years.

Comparing the two, it is naturally more cost-effective to sell Comrade Jia.

After all, there are only so many shooting rights, and it is impossible for all five of them to be attackers.

Especially inside, everyone has to make way for Yao Ming.

"In addition to Ben Wallace, you also brought back Chauncey Billups, the backup guard of the Timberwolves. The entire Warriors team, except for Gilbert Arenas, Jason Richardson, and Troy Murphy, you can trade everyone else."

"yes."
