() Generally speaking, investing in the catering industry is a better choice for players. The investment is small, the results are quick, it does not require too much time to manage, and there are no legal risks. For example, Michael Jordan and Earvin Johnson have done it
Through this investment, Adrian's teammate Luke Walton also owns several restaurants and the business is doing well, not to mention the famous 'Yao Restaurant'.
Leon also believed that if Adrian wanted to invest, it would be best to take this path. According to the contract signed with Adrian, he could not gain any benefit from Adrian's investment, so it was not very profitable.
Of course, he would not deliberately deceive Adrian into making some wrong investments to gain huge profits.
But Adrian had his own ideas.
Although Leon does not understand that Adrian is so obsessed with rioting the company, he believes that Adrian's investment in this area may yield nothing and end miserably.
But Adrian's stubbornness left him with no choice. He could only follow Adrian's request and contact Brandon, the president and general manager of Riot Company, and invite him to meet in Los Angeles.
Brandon is already overwhelmed by the break in the capital chain. If this continues, if no new funds are injected into Riot Company, the best result will be to file for bankruptcy protection. However, without even a game being launched,
Brandon feels that even if he applies for bankruptcy protection, it may be difficult to pass it through the court. He has tried various ways to raise financing, but the result is a drop in the bucket and cannot save the situation he is facing now.
Therefore, when he got the idea that someone in Los Angeles wanted to invest in his company, he almost immediately dropped everything he was doing and flew directly to Los Angeles.
That night, he met Adrian!
After meeting the real person, Adrian was sure that the Riot Company was indeed the Riot Company in his memory. Although there was still a big gap between Brandon's appearance now and his appearance a few years later, his beard was fairly shaved.
Clean, green stubble, a pair of glasses, and rather messy hair made him look quite downcast, far from the heroic look he would have a few years later.
Adrian and he didn't talk for long. After meeting, Adrian decided that he must inject capital, just kidding. He vaguely remembered that four years later, when Communication acquired the majority of the shares of riotgames, it spent more than 200 million U.S. dollars to succeed.
To win, this is after Tencent itself already owns more than 20% of the shares.
How much did Tencent spend to acquire that 20% stake?
When riotgames raised funds from three companies, Tencent was only one of the three, and the total financing amount was only 8 million. Even if Tencent accounted for half of it, the rate of return would be close to 20 times!
In a few years, with a return rate of twenty times, is there any more cost-effective investment in the world?
So Adrian only had a brief chat with him before finalizing a 10 million financing deal with Brandon. After the financing, Adrian will become the largest shareholder of riotgames, holding more than 65%. However, Adrian
Ann also agreed that Brandon would not participate in the company's operations. Brandon was still the president and general manager of the company. He would not participate in most of the company's decisions, only participating in dividends.
"Mr. Adrian, you will not be disappointed with this investment." After the meeting, Brandon's face was glowing. Not only did he get the much-needed capital injection, but he also saved his company. This result undoubtedly made him very happy.
of satisfaction.
"I believe this, Brandon." Adrian also smiled with a smile on his face, and his confidence was even greater than Brandon himself.
"Damn it, Jordan is nothing and Johnson is nothing. Isn't it just a bad team and a few bad restaurants? I have heroes all over the league and tens of millions of players around the world! When I retire,
Buy a team and have fun too!" Adrian roared proudly in his heart.
Although the matter of buying a stake in Riot Company was important, Adrian handled it quickly. This did not interfere with his performance on the court. Entering April, the Lakers' record is still improving all the way, and Radmanovic has already
Started training with the ball, and is expected to be able to enter the game lineup in the playoffs at the latest, and Lamar Odom has been activated from the injured list. In the game against the SuperSonics, Odom
He came on as a substitute and got a chance to play for 15 minutes, but his performance was not very good. Everyone understood that, after all, he had just recovered from injury, and Phil Jackson would also give him more playing time.
Let him adjust his condition.
At the same time, Kobe's playing time has also been adjusted in order to store more energy for him to ensure his performance in the playoffs.
Adrian's playing time has not decreased. This is to allow Adrian to compete for the assists title this season. In terms of assists per game, there is only a slight gap between Adrian and the Suns' Steve Nash.
Before the Lakers' last game of the season, a home game against the Sonics.
Inside the locker room of the home team Lakers.
"Okay, everyone, listen to me." Kobe clapped his hands and focused everyone's attention: "Okay, everyone knows that Ed is now competing for the assists king. He needs to get 20 assists in this game.
Able to achieve final victory.”
After the just-concluded Suns vs. Clippers game, all 82 regular season games of the Suns this season ended. Steve Nash played 76 times, assisted 884 times, and averaged 11.63 assists per game, ranking first in the NBA.
The first place in the assists list. The second one behind him is Adrian. Currently, Adrian has a total of 899 assists, which has surpassed Steve Nash in total assists, but his number of appearances does not include this game.
There have been 78 games played, and the average assists per game is only 11.52.
This game will be his 79th game, and the league's assists leader is calculated based on average assists per game. According to average assists per game, Adrian must have at least 919 assists to average 919 assists per game.
Overwhelming Steve Nash and becoming the league's regular season assists leader, which means that in this game, he will get 20 assists.
"I think we should give him some help." Kobe smiled and said, "Ed, what do you think?"
"Okay, if I really succeed." Adrian smiled and raised a finger: "All the consumption tonight is mine!"
"Wow!" A wolf howl suddenly sounded in the home team's locker room at Staples Center.
They have no resistance to helping Adrian become the assist king. Adrian has always been popular in the team. He is generous with his shots, modest, and more importantly, very generous with his shots. What's more, it's not too difficult.
, it is not very difficult for Adrian to get 20 assists in a single game, and after success, there will be luxury spending tonight.
Phil Jackson had no intention of stopping it. In fact, this game was completely unimportant.
In the Western Conference, the Mavericks ranked first in the Western Conference with a record of 67 wins and 15 losses, a winning rate of over 80%. The Lakers ranked second in the Western Conference with a record of 60 wins and 21 losses, and the Suns ranked third in the Western Conference with a record of 59 wins and 23 losses.
The Spurs ranked fourth with only one game difference. And the games between the Suns and the Spurs have ended. If the Lakers lose, they will not be surpassed by the Suns. If they win, they will not be able to catch up with the Mavericks. This game is natural for the Lakers.
It makes no sense. In addition, the Jazz are ranked fifth with 51 wins and 31 losses, and they will directly face the Spurs in the playoffs. The Rockets, who have a record of 52 wins and 30 losses, one game better than the Jazz, but because of the division
Due to the relationship, he was moved down one place to sixth, thereby avoiding a direct confrontation with the Spurs.
I wonder if Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan will feel bitter after seeing this situation. He is obviously starting to lose his temper at the end of the season just to avoid the Spurs in the first round of the playoffs, who no one wants to hit.
It was a stubborn rock, and ended up crashing into it.
The seventh place is occupied by the Denver Nuggets. The final eighth place has not yet been decided. Two teams that may enter the playoffs are Nelson's Golden State Warriors and the Lakers' city brothers, the Clippers.
One has 41 wins and 40 losses, and the other has 40 wins and 41 losses. Both teams have one game left to play, and both are located in the Atlantic Division. In the end, it may depend on the outcome to determine who enters the playoffs.
The SuperSonics, on the other hand, succeeded in making a comeback, ranking 14th in the Western Conference and second to last, second only to the Memphis Grizzlies, the deputy squad leader. Both teams went straight to the No. 1 pick. In this last game, again
It's an away game, so the Sonics can't really put in the effort to play, so it's probably going to be a very easy game.
When shaking hands before the start of the game, he saw Ray Allen's face was very sad. Obviously, Ray Allen did not expect that the Sonics would degenerate to this level this season, and he suffered a lot for this.
The media criticized the team's poor record, so it's no wonder that he was in a very low mood. Recently, there has been news in the media that the Sonics want to rebuild after changing to a new owner, which undoubtedly made Ray Allen bear more pain.
A lot of pressure.
However, Adrian remembered clearly that the next season, the SuperSonics selected future super scorer Kevin Durant and officially began to rebuild. After Ray Allen was traded by the team, he flew to Boston and
Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett formed the famous Celtics Big Three and fulfilled their championship dreams.
The team's No. 2 player, Sharad Lewis, was signed by the Magic with a 100-million-yuan contract that can be recorded in history. Of course, this is a deceptive 100-million-yuan contract. This contract once again proved that,
The Magic's front office is a bunch of idiots! (To be continued.)
ps: I am in normal condition today, but my head is still a little dizzy. This is the third update.
