Chapter 3257 Stern with a headache
In the 2005-2006 season, in the first game of the NBA playoffs, the Houston Rockets played against the Los Angeles Lakers at home. The result of the game did not surprise anyone. The Houston Rockets defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 98:80 and won the playoffs.
’s first victory.
Houston Rockets fans were not overly excited about this victory. Although the opponent was the wealthy Lakers, the so-called Phoenix in distress was not as good as a chicken. After the "ok" combination finally fell apart, the Los Angeles Lakers, supported only by Kobe Bryant, had long lost their strength.
The halo of the former has been completely reduced to nothing. But now, the Houston Rockets are gradually embarking on the road to becoming a real giant. Therefore, Houston fans have nothing to be happy about the team's victory over the Lakers.
An expected victory, the only highlight is that we have to watch one less Jordan game, and Kobe Bryant's solo dance, is he happy? - "Houston Chronicle" commented.
Similar reports have appeared in almost all major newspapers. Almost no media will let go of this naked man's 'Phoenix'. They will criticize the Lakers and Kobe as viciously as they want. The reason? None.
He, the Lakers are too proud, Kobe is too proud. There has never been a team in the league with so many enemies like the Lakers.
Over the past few years, the Lakers have been one of the strongest in the league, and both have been a favorite to win the championship. Even during the Jordan era, the Lakers have always been a strong team. And with such a glorious past, and the Los Angeles Angel City
This unique status has created the Lakers' pride and also created their current situation of making enemies everywhere.
Of course, no matter what the outside world says, Kobe will never admit defeat. But these have nothing to do with Lin Feng. Although Lin Feng cares about the victory or defeat of the Houston Rockets, it is by no means everything in Lin Feng's life. Buying the Houston Rockets is
Just for fun, without delaying other business matters.
After the game, Lin Feng and Huang Xinxiang, the young owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, sat down at the Yao Restaurant in the heart of the Houston Rockets city center.
"What do you want? Do you want some dumplings made by Yao Ming's mother? They cost US$5 a bowl. This is something you don't get often!" Lin Feng said with a smile, pointing to today's special meal.
Huang Xinxiang nodded. He admired Yao Ming very much. A Chinese player was able to overcome the inherent disadvantages of yellow people and gain a foothold in the NBA. He even became an All-Star center and scored 2 double-doubles. Close to 20+.10+
This is the pride of all Chinese people. Therefore, when Lin Feng asked him to have tea, he specifically named Yao Restaurant. Come here to have something to eat. But he didn’t expect that he would be able to eat something handmade by Yao’s mother.
Dumplings. Although he is of Chinese descent, born in South Africa and raised in the United States, he is still very interested in China’s traditional folk food, dumplings.
The two of them ordered two bowls of dumplings, plus a cup of juice for each person, which together only amounted to 28 US dollars. It was a bit too basic for people of their worth. But the two of them ate very happily. After all,
Food is not about where you eat it, but what you eat and who you eat it with.
After eating, the two ordered two cups of tea and sat there chatting.
"Mr. Huang, are you a doctor?" Lin Feng asked.
"Well, I come from a medical family. I was forced by my parents to study medicine since I was a child. I didn't understand it very well at first, but I didn't expect that it was my father's prompting that made me achieve what I am today. Sometimes, the compulsive nature of Chinese education can also lead to
Good results." Huang Xinxiang sighed.
The biggest difference between Chinese and American education is that China has compulsory education, while the United States has selective education. Most Chinese children do not have the right to choose, and adults have already chosen for you. However, American children are free to choose their own future path.
.In most cases, Western-style education is more likely to produce talents, but Chinese-style education is not all mediocre. For example, he is a successful case of this kind of Chinese education. Of course, there are relatively few such success cases.
"Mr. Huang, I heard that you have developed breast cancer treatment drugs and cured many women with breast cancer. This can be regarded as a benefit to millions of families!" Lin Feng sighed. Along the way, Lin Feng had already ordered
Zhiling went to investigate the information about Huang Xinxiang. It is gratifying that Huang Xinxiang holds dozens of medical patents and has invested in or controlled no less than five biotechnology companies. He is a star-like figure in the pharmaceutical industry.
Of course, I also have a high academic qualification. I studied for a master's degree in medicine at the famous University of British Columbia in Canada, and was later invited by the University of California, Los Angeles, to do research at the school. Later, I obtained a doctorate in medicine from the University of California and founded my own
Research laboratory, developed drugs to treat breast cancer.
"This is what we doctors should do. Of course, I am not a traditional doctor. I should be regarded as a scholar and researcher in the medical field, focusing on research and development. If you want me to see a doctor, then
I can't help it!" Huang Xinxiang shook his head with a smile.
There are specialties in the medical field. The reason why Western medicine is so developed is because each subject is divided into extremely details and has dedicated personnel to research and develop. Unlike traditional Chinese medicine, the same person treats the disease and researches and develops.
Lin Feng immediately stopped going into the professional issues of medical research and casually asked Huang Xinxiang some interesting things about his research and development over the years. The two talked happily in detail.
"Mr. Lin, thank you very much for your hospitality today. I am going back to Los Angeles soon. So, if possible, next time your team comes to Los Angeles, I will invite you to my home." Huang Xinxiang sent a polite greeting to Lin Feng
invite.
Although Lin Feng only treated Huang Xinxiang to a simple meal of dumplings and a glass of juice today, out of politeness, Huang Xinxiang needed to invite Lin Feng to his home. This is a courtesy exchange between people.
Of course, this is because Huang Xinxiang intends to make friends with Lin Feng. After all, there is no one who is unwilling to make friends with a Chinese legend.
"I will definitely visit you next time I come to Los Angeles!" Lin Feng nodded and said.
The two said goodbye.
"Zhiling, prepare a 'Rejuvenation Pill' and 'Yumen Pass', and next time you go to Los Angeles, go visit the richest man in Los Angeles!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
The richest man in Los Angeles is naturally the richest man in Los Angeles. Huang Xinxiang is the richest man in Los Angeles, with a personal asset of US$7.3 billion.
"But boss, we will go to Los Angeles tomorrow to go to Avril Lavigne's place. Are we going to visit Huang Xinxiang tomorrow?" Zhiling asked.
"No, of course it's not tomorrow. We'll stop by to visit Huang Xinxiang during the third game of the NBA playoffs. We'll go tomorrow, it's too urgent." Lin Feng waved his hand.
Even if Lin Feng really wants to visit Huang Xinxiang about the 'Rejuvenation Pill' and 'Yumen Pass' at the moment, he can't be too hasty. If he is too hasty, Huang Xinxiang will know that this matter is very important to him. It is very important. Then he may let
I am at a disadvantage in this matter. Although we are all Chinese, we are only casual acquaintances after all, and we have only met today. What the other person's character is cannot be known by just some simple surveys.
Moreover, in business, Huang Xinxiang is a doctor, but he is also a businessman. After he sees the 'Rejuvenation Pill' and 'Yumen Pass', he will know its effectiveness and its value. He is too anxious. That is not a good thing.
.So, even though I go to Los Angeles tomorrow to find Avril Lavigne, I can't visit Huang Xinxiang. I have to wait until the Houston Rockets visit Los Angeles before I can visit Huang Xinxiang on the way. Although this is not a side trip, as long as I have an excuse, it will be fine.
The next day, Lin Feng took a special plane to Los Angeles. Naturally, the Los Angeles media was abuzz with Lin Feng's arrival. According to the rules of the playoffs, the Houston Rockets will first play 2 home games, then 3 away games, and finally 2 more games.
At home. We had just played one game, and there was another home game, but Lin Feng arrived in Los Angeles first. He was so eager that he didn’t even watch his own team’s game. Why? Naturally, some Los Angeles media claimed that Lin Feng was
I'm scared. I'm scared of the Lakers' background and Kobe's revenge, so I have to come in advance to find out the news.
For such an idiotic answer, the Los Angeles media was convinced. Lin Feng didn't know whether he should say that these Los Angeles media were too idiots, or that they were too arrogant. Lin Feng naturally ignored this. He was very happy with Avril Lavigne.
I spent a few days playing with him in his 'Neverland Manor', and I just took it as a leisure activity. After all, this person is not a machine. If you have been busy for a long time, you have to relax and rest. Then you can work harder.
Good job.
Of course, while relaxing, Lin Feng did not forget to sit here and control the acquisition of "USA Today" and "The New York Times". Before that, the two parties had reached a verbal agreement and signed it, but they were worried about the U.S. Department of Commerce.
However, this time, Lin Feng directly entrusted Cuban to acquire USA Today and the New York Times.
When Cuban stood together with "USA Today" boss Alan Neuhas and "New York Times" boss Salzberg and announced the establishment of a new newspaper group, everyone was shocked. Of course, they were even more surprised.
What is interesting is that in this acquisition, New York Mayor Bloomberg also announced that he would invest in this new newspaper group.
In the end, in this acquisition, the "Technology Newspaper Group" was finally formed, with "USA Today" holding 20%, "The New York Times" holding 20%, and New York Mayor Bloomberg holding 10% -1
, Cuban holds 50%+1 of the shares. In other words, Cuban has full control of this new 'Technology Newspaper Group'.
How does Cuban have so much money? - The American media exclaimed.
Cuban is indeed America’s new tycoon and one of the representatives of the American Dream. Unlike Bill Gates, who was born into a middle-class family and boasted in high school that he would become a billionaire at the age of 25, Cuban is a typical
Born into a blue-collar class, his parents were just ordinary workers in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Cuban started from the lowest level of workers and eventually became the billionaire Mark Cuban is today.
Although he is rich, according to Forbes statistics, Cuban's assets are only about 2.3 billion U.S. dollars. This time to form the new 'Technology Newspaper Group', Cuban spent a full 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, which is almost the equivalent of 1.5 billion U.S. dollars.
Most of his net worth is made up. If you calculate it carefully, it means that except for the Dallas Mavericks, Cuban basically spent all his personal wealth. How could he be so crazy?
Of course, the most important thing is that the industrial media has been in decline. Although "USA Today" and "The New York Times" are the most famous newspapers in the United States and one of the most famous newspapers in the world, Cuban is not like this.
Crazy. What is the purpose of spending so much money to acquire and create this "Technology Newspaper Group"?
Also, what makes many media even more strange is that this is not rumored to be an acquisition by Lam Feng. How could it suddenly become Cuban? Everyone in the United States is confused? Of course, some people have guessed whether Lam Feng is secretly plotting against Chen Cang.
?Use Cuban for acquisitions?
However, there is no evidence that Lin Feng is related to this acquisition. All the funds used by Cuban for the acquisition were his own money. The recent frequent capital transfers by Cuban fully illustrate this point. Moreover, Lin Feng has been
There is nothing unusual in Avril Lavigne's 'Neverland Manor'.
Is Cuban really crazy and wants to make a big splash in the media world? Or is Cuban very dissatisfied with the league and wants to use it to acquire USA Today and the New York Times?
The biggest mouthpiece, attacking the league? If so, then Cuban is really too crazy and loves basketball too much. Of course, Mr. David Stern will probably be extremely depressed because of this. This Cuban is usually
He is a big mouth, and his attacks on the league are endless. Some reporters have compiled statistics over the years. Since Cuban acquired the Dallas Mavericks in 2000, Cuban has been fined by the league a total of 9 times so far, totaling $1.115 million.
US$1.115 million is enough to make Cuban angry. After all, this amount of money is enough for some families to live for a lifetime.
"Accusing the Alliance? No, no, how could I use this to accuse the Alliance? I bought these two newspapers because I just thought they could make money. Secondly, I just hope they can continue to tell the truth and supervise the United States!" Cuban said.
In an interview with a reporter, he denied the "heart-breaking (alliance) theory" put forward by the reporter. However, anyone can see from Cuban's proud smile that he did not mean what he said. That excited smirk on his face, who
I didn't know he hated the Alliance.
After this, Stern was in big trouble.
Big trouble? Indeed, Stern's face turned green after learning the news. Before this, some of Cuban's shocking remarks, such as those that often made the league embarrassed, Stern could only wave
Butcher's knife fined this NBA boss who is known to love basketball the most, and he has repeatedly set NBA fine records.
Now that he has two of the most famous newspapers in the United States, it is even more incredible. From now on, he will have a headache. (To be continued)
