NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 170: Emperor James! (5)

"We want a lower price, but other shareholders don't agree." Riot Games president explained to Jiang Chao.

"Believe it or not!"

The media will definitely not listen to these nonsense. They only know that this is a game company, a new one opened this year, and it will cost 80 million???

All the money has been spent on blind investments!

No wonder the team doesn't care anymore, it turns out they are addicted to games!

They didn’t know that Jiang Chao was writing scripts and recruiting actors. They all thought that the newly registered Chaoshen Film and Television was just playing around. After all, this thing doesn’t cost much, but this acquisition is a real deal and will appear in the financial report.

.

But what the business bosses see is that Jiang Chao is really rich, and he spent 80 million yuan. What they see is that Jiang Chao's sneaker company must have made a lot of money, otherwise he would just give the 80 million yuan as promised??

This will definitely mean there will be a lot more to come.

So doesn’t this indirectly show that Jiang Chao’s sideline sneaker industry is very successful?

But Jiang Chao didn't care about this, because two years later, a handsome guy from Shenzhen spent 231 million to acquire Painxun.

In later generations:

Tencent disclosed in its 2011 third quarter financial report that it spent a total of US$231 million in cash to acquire the American game developer Riot Games. It held 22.34% of the shares before the transaction and 92.78% of the shares after completing the transaction.

In the early morning news of December 17, 2015, "League of Legends" developer Riot Games announced on the company's official website that its major shareholder Tencent acquired the remaining shares of the company, which means that Tencent has achieved 100% control of the company.

.

This means that the valuation of riot games in this transaction has reached 2.168 billion yuan (approximately US$341 million). After the completion of this transaction, riot games has become the first U.S. company controlled by Tencent and will still be fully controlled by the original founder and management team.

Responsible and operates independently.

In addition, Tencent also plans to grant 2.009 million company shares to outstanding employees as an incentive.

But all this money was saved for Chaoshen Group.

Jiang Chao's acquisition of Riot Games at this stage shows that I spent so much money to acquire you when you were in the most difficult time. I am your father, so do it well!

So when Jiang Chao went to meet their senior management, he never gave them a smile, except when he beat up Annie. Sure enough, knowing how to design does not necessarily mean you can play games.

And why Jiang Chao must acquire it now? Because this is actually not a good investment choice in the short term. The sooner you invest now, the less you will lose.

In 2011, riot games brought Tencent 413 million yuan in revenue and a net loss of 821 million yuan. In the S1 season, it was almost a loss. The final championship was just like an Internet cafe game, with no influence at all.

However, as the market continues to expand and more competitive players join, riot games revenue reached US$624 million in 2013, becoming the second-largest game in the world by revenue. From April 2013 to March 2014, League of Legends’

Revenue has reached $927 million.

"Maybe the grand occasion will come early."

Jiang Chao has already asked Shanghai Ward and others to start playing the game first. As long as the game is done well, it will become popular very quickly.

Of course, the last thing I said is that Jiang Chao’s main purpose of investing in Riot Games is not to make money.

It is to give absolute fairness to this game, which will have the greatest global market value and influence in the future.

No, no matter what e-sports power you are, it is impossible to unplug the network cable and rematch. The games bought by the Chinese will never create LPL teams!

This is Jiang Chao's role as a prophet. Unfortunately, no one knows about it now, but it doesn't matter. With Jiang Chao's current money and status, it is just a matter of signing. I didn't see Liu Yan helping him negotiate it.

Is everything over?

"Then, I wish the game a great success."

"Fire!"

"Knicks owner Jiang Chao spends US$80 million to acquire emerging game companies!"

"The entertainment film and television company registered by Knicks owner Jiang Chao was quietly established!"

"Rist Games was fully acquired for 80 million!"

"Super sports boss Jiang Chao invests again!"

"Jiang Chao, always be Superman!"

The acquisition news instantly became a big hit in gaming circles, investment circles, and basketball circles... But at the same time, the Knicks were not doing their best.

…

In the evening of the day we returned to New York.

Jiang Chao and Liu Yan were having a candlelight dinner in a Western restaurant.

Jiang Chao didn't know much about the team's current situation, although he himself felt that the sprint to record results would begin after the All-Star Game.

Of course, no one dares to say.

Although Liu Yan knew a little bit about it, as a "pseudo-fan", she naturally wouldn't comment on it.

Sean Marks accidentally called and said that there was a concert by a Chinese artist at the Madison Square Garden Arena tonight and asked Jiang Chao if he wanted to come.

"who?"

"My name is Zhang Xueyou."

"Haha, okay, just in time, let's celebrate the acquisition of Riot Games."

After Jiang Chao finished dinner, he drove Liu Yan to the Madison Square Garden Arena, which he had not seen for a long time.

As Christmas approaches, I can clearly feel that there is more "unity, friendship and harmony" on the streets, and there is a bit of a festive atmosphere.

It’s getting busy as it’s approaching Christmas. The arena also holds various concerts when the team is away from home. Even model worker and one of the Four Heavenly Kings Zhang Xueyou has made an appointment in advance to hold a concert tour.

Only Chinese artists of this level are eligible to hold concerts in Madison Square Garden.

What Jiang Chao didn't expect was that Sean Marks was so enthusiastic. In the private room, the two started talking while listening to the song.

Jiang Chao was not particularly happy after hearing that the team had won six consecutive games:

"Fortunately, the winners are all from the Fish Belly Team."

"Um."

Then Sean Marks said that the team has suffered a losing streak recently.

And they all lost to teams with a long history.

One is the powerful Hawks in the Eastern Conference that they defeated in the Summer League. However, they used the second team at the time, but Ibaka and Beverley were so cruel that they were released. This game can only bear the Eagles.

their anger.

"You can't afford to offend the Eastern Eagles!"

Facing the Knicks, who were winning six games in a row, the Hawks led by 15 points in the first quarter. Joe Johnson, the singles king, sprayed directly at the Knicks bench:

"We are not yours to talk trash to!"

Then Ibaka was angry, but now he really can't handle the ball-blind evaluator Al Horford. The difference between the two is mainly reflected in the offensive end. One has all kinds of tricks, and the other is a rough guy.

But the main reason for the Hawks' confrontation is that they are too strong. The two generations of Eagle kings are playing Joe Eclipse Smith in isolation, plus the white-muscle man Mike Bibby, and the bonus of defeating his old club with 6 grams. The Hawks with a complete lineup have a distinctive play style, which is to constantly break out in singles.

They were all singles monsters, giving the young Knicks the most intense confrontation.

Coupled with the fact that there is a scumbag like Pachulia in the paint, the Knicks are a little restless inside and outside. This is the first time they have encountered a strong top 8 team in the Eastern Conference. Eagle King Joe Johnson has 28 points and 1 assist.

4 rebounds, and the inside scumbags all had 12 rebounds...

The most tragic thing is that Harden was blocked three times by Eagle King and future teammate Josh Smith, and Harden was replaced by the young coach in anger.

Harden is like this, and Curry, who is physically weaker, even sleepwalked in the game with 5 points and 3 assists.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Jiang Chao smiled and said, the Hawks are equivalent to the Spurs in the East at this time, they are stable and strong.

But the shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, the physical exertion in the playoffs will be too great when they are all fighting monsters in isolation. I originally expected this year's rookie athlete Mamba Tigue to provide some point guard aura.

It turns out that this guy is even more unique... he moved for 18 seconds in 24 seconds. Although he didn't take the shot himself, his teammates were impatient.

So the final lineup still has to rely on veteran guards.

"Because Harden took the initiative to write a review after the game, saying he was afraid you would scold him."

"Haha, it's nothing. He just needs to experience this kind of muscle relaxation before he can make progress."

Jiang Chao thinks this is normal. Opposite him is a finished All-Star, the Eagle King. Those are all figures who became famous in singles, but now Harden is just a little guy. If his beard is not long and his butt is not round, it is normal for him not to be able to push up. It is much more

Collision makes you stronger.

Moreover, there are not so many body hair whistles now, and it is difficult to use Curry's lateral step back when physical confrontations are everywhere. The Hawks' talent is very explosive. In the end, Horford, the ball-blind evaluator, succeeded in chasing Okur.

The Knicks lost by 18 points.

The winning streak ended. Ibaka's words "Stronger than the club princess" really shouldn't be said. The Eagles were in trouble after they fully emerged!

You can never look down on any NBA team.

"Are there any highlights? Look for highlights after losing." Jiang Chao smiled as he listened to the song "I kiss you goodbye, in the deserted night~".

"There is a bright spot, that is, although the score difference is huge, Ibaka, who had spoken harsh words before, played bloody well, supported the interior defense by himself, and blocked 5 shots.

The other Black Dog guy who said harsh words was okay. He played at the pace of the MVP in garbage time. He and Matthews teamed up to allow the opponent to score 4 points in garbage time, and Beverley had 4 steals.

So Nimi really can’t blame the two people who provoked the eagle in this game.

Because when the Knicks lost, they didn't lose. At least they showed a stronger and stronger fighting spirit than the starters.

"Okay, you have to be tougher when dealing with muscle sticks." Jiang Chao could think of Ibaka's passion. He is actually the most suitable to play against a team like the Hawks, because the Hawks won't let you play "virtually", just all kinds of

Just attack hard and if you can't score, just grab it.

And there's no shame in losing to the Hawks, right? This team underestimated the Knicks in the Summer League, but its level is actually among the top four in the Eastern Conference.

Although Jiang Chao knows that the Knicks will be very strong in the future, he is also able to recognize the fact that at this stage, the Knicks just can't beat the Hawks and the finished stars.

Then the second loss was to the Bucks. Jennings' morale was now at its peak, and Bogut was just as dirty as the scumbag in the previous game.

Facing the dirty Knicks recruits is not going to work out well. Although Yi Jianlian burst out powerfully and got the 2010 data in front of his old teammates, the Bucks' Jennings Reed is also the same as Turkey's anti-aircraft gun Ilyasova.

This explosion of touch cannot stop their touch.

Bogut's character is rubbish, but his playing is really disgusting. His defensive ability in the paint and pick-and-roll on the offensive end hinder the Knicks' offense and defense. This is why the Bucks feel that Yi Jianlian is dispensable.

This also completely exposed the Knicks' shortcomings.

Okur has a tough style of play, but he suffers greatly compared to the No. 1 center in all aspects, and Bogut can do smaller moves better than Yao.

This kid's snarky and dirty moves put the Knicks in a tailspin. Only UAE, facing its old club, was trying its best to fight.

In the end, although Gallinelli and Curry came on the bench to chase the points with 3 consecutive points, they still lost by 6 points in the Eastern Conference position battle with the Bucks.

"The two guards of the Bucks, one old and one young, penetrated our group of guards."

"Oh?" Jiang Chao listened to Sean Marks slowly speaking with great interest.

Michael Reed, the old teammate of the United Arab League, is still young. He was MVP with 31 points and 5 assists. He is a legendary figure. He is a three-point shooter and the fastest shooter in the NBA.

As a shooting guard, Reid has strong breakthrough ability, accurate three-point shooting, and has the ability to play in low post.

After the game, Li De also said that Harden looks a lot like him.

The most surprising thing is that the Bucks selected Jennings this year. Although his heart is not with the Bucks, he is really capable, and he has added bonuses at the Knicks' home court.

At the draft at that time...

As the Timberwolves and Knicks each selected their favorite guards.

Jennings, who had had good trials with these two teams before, almost collapsed. When the Raptors selected DeRozan with the ninth pick, Jennings pinned all his hopes on the Bucks, who had the tenth pick.

On the team.

When NBA President Stern finally read his name, Jennings burst into tears and started complaining in front of his friends.

Cursing the Knicks for their stupid choice (Jennings most wanted to play for the Knicks), and how naive the outside world was to belittle him.

When this recording was exposed, a bombardment of public opinion ensued. Jennings' behavior made the Bucks very embarrassed.

A year ago, he was the No. 1 high school student in the United States and a legend in high school basketball. A year later, he almost fell out of the lottery. The huge contrast gave Jennings enough motivation to train. He got up early in the morning to practice strength and in the evening he practiced shooting.

, free throw line free throws became his rest time.

Therefore, Bucks coach Skiles had full trust in Jennings and put him in the starting lineup to form a backcourt double-gun with the team's core Michael Reid.

Jennings, who had experienced a major slump, adapted to the rhythm of the NBA in just two games. He showed Milwaukee fans his talent with his skillful ball handling and darting breakthroughs.

Sean Marks seems very excited when it comes to this player.

Jiang Chao was so excited that he felt like he was regretting not choosing him in the first place.

But there is no way, from the current perspective, this is the real King James!

The Bucks faced the Cavaliers at home in the seventh game of the season. Head coach Michael Reid was absent due to injury. The young Jennings took on the team's offensive banner. In the case of poor touch in the first half, Jennings lost his ability in the third quarter.

He made 12 of 13 shots, including 4 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 29 points in a single quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Jenkins was still feeling hot and scored 16 points. Finally, he scored 55 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists with a 61.8% shooting rate. Since the two sides fought until the last minute of the game, Jennings scored 55 points.

Full of gold content.

Scored 55 points in front of James, who is the real James????

Became the fifth player in NBA history to score 55 points as a rookie. The first four were Chamberlain, Rick Barry, Earl Monroe and Elgin Baylor.

At the age of 20 years and 52 days, he surpassed James and became the youngest player in NBA history to score more than 50 points in a single game.

Became the fastest player in NBA history to set a record of more than 50 points in a single game after entering the league.

Became the highest scoring player in a rookie season in Bucks history.

So in the eyes of the media, losing to the Bucks is normal, but there is a historical rookie on the opposite side...

"It's just the essence of humanity's first performance, nothing to worry about."

"ah?"

Liu Yan next to her was stunned. Even she had heard of Crazy Zhan Nings. Jiang Chao was the first person she and Max had ever seen who looked down on Zhan Nings so much!! This...

Jiang Chao listened to the song and picked up his notebook to see who was the Knicks' third consecutive loser...

The third defeat was against the Thunder, which has a lot of connections with the Knicks!

This is the game Jiang Chao should pay attention to!!
