Chapter 356 Bilateral Agreement Reached
Looking back, Zhao Dong went directly to the basket. Oakley was too small to carry him, so he stopped him two meters away from the basket.
Rasheed Wallace on the weak side quickly helped defend the basket.
"boom!"
After receiving the ball, he turned around very quickly. While carrying Oakley with his right hand, he flew forward and faced Rasheed Wallace who was helping to defend the basket. He made a fierce dunk with his right hand, once again blasting the Bulls. basket.
"Hoho, Roaring Tianzun was dunked by Feilong. His defense was fast enough, but he still couldn't stop Feilong from attacking the basket. Feilong jumped very high and Rashid couldn't reach it."
Bill Walton said excitedly.
Bulls offense.
McGrady is the Bulls' first point of attack. He takes the ball on the left wing, carries the madman with his left hand, and grabs the ball with one hand with his right hand and sweeps it back to make a breakthrough.
The madman bent over and stepped back a little, preparing to prevent McGrady from breaking through.
But at this moment, McGrady stood up again.
"Uh-huh!"
The water splashed and he hit a three-pointer.
"Yeah yeah yeah!"
The on-site commentator screamed and shouted excitedly: "t_mac scored two three-pointers in a row, and his pull-up was unstoppable! The madman was like a fool in front of him, with no defensive reaction..."
Looking back, the Knicks attacked, and the Madman tried to return one, but was blocked by McGrady.
McGrady's outstanding performance on both ends of the offense and defense earned him huge cheers at the United Center.
Nelson then brought on John Wallace, replacing Stackhouse.
Although John Wallace is not at a disadvantage against McGrady in terms of height, he is far inferior to McGrady in terms of ability and was beaten by McGrady on both offense and defense.
Nelson had no choice but to continue adjusting the lineup, switching Zhao Dong to the outside and Barkley on the inside.
In this way, against the Bulls, the Knicks achieved a balance of offense and defense inside and outside.
"When the Dragons played the five position, the Knicks were short of Tracy McGrady.
"Bill Walton laughed.
"Oh, Bill, you brought up the unreached deal again, but in fact Fordson is also of great significance to the Knicks. He has matured. There are very few meaningless fouls and technical fouls. Now he averages per game With 13.8 rebounds, he has the ability to compete for the rebounding title this season." Matt said with a smile.
"Ben Wallace moved to the Lakers and traded Wang Zhizhi, which still caused a considerable loss to the Knicks' strength." Bill Walton said.
"Ben Wallace needs a big contract and the Knicks can't give it to him. As for Wang, it is said that the Dragons want to trade him. He has become the starting center in the Mavericks and has a good future." Matt said with a smile.
Bill Walton laughed and said: "Playing against the Bulls, because the Bulls don't have a super inside man, so the Knicks can let Feilong play on the outside, but if they encounter the Lakers and Spurs, it will be difficult for the Knicks."
Matt nodded and said: "The Knicks lineup does have some problems this season. The forward line is not good and the strength is too weak. If there is no Feilong inside, they will be defeated against a team like the Lakers.
There is no problem with the three-back tactic in the regular season, and there is no problem against ordinary teams, but when entering the playoffs, all weaknesses will be magnified and then targeted. "
In this game, the Knicks finally defeated the Bulls.
Zhao Dong scored 40+ points in three consecutive games, and also sent out 13 assists in this game. His performance is still extremely strong.
Next, the Knicks continue their road trip.
First they defeated the Bucks in an away game, then moved to the Timberwolves, winning the first five consecutive games, and returned to New York on the 10th.
When he got home, Lindsay greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Aiweier, what's the good news?" Zhao Dong asked happily.
"The U.S. stock market continues to fall, which has increased the internal economic pressure on the United States. Our agreement has almost been reached." Lindsay said with a smile.
"Great!" Zhao Dong said happily.
"Also, several Adidas companies are in dire straits now. The company they sold to them exploded, and a large number of assets suddenly turned into bad debts. Coupled with the decline of U.S. stocks, their liquidity has been drained, the debt ratio has skyrocketed, and the stock price The leading market is falling," Lindsay laughed.
"Without working capital, now they want to sign players and invest in research and development, but they are struggling. By the way, Aiweier, what kind of thunder did you lay for them?" Zhao Dong said with a smile.
"It's a kind of financial derivative. I packaged some gambling agreements in it. Now that the U.S. stock market has turned from bullish to bearish, the gambling agreements will suffer huge losses, which may directly cause them to go bankrupt." Lin Daodao.
"..."
Zhao Dong was stunned and asked: "What kind of gambling agreement?"
Lindsay smiled and said: "The betting agreement on stock index futures is to bet on the U.S. stock market rising to 5,500 points. Once this point is reached, the betting agreement will be completed immediately. For every point that rises, the win or loss is one million U.S. dollars. If the U.S. stock market goes down, delivery is fixed. The day is before the market closes on December 31, 2001. Every time it falls by one point, the profit or loss is one million US dollars.
There is an activation program, which can only be activated by us, but if it is not activated, this agreement will be invalid. As a gambling party, if it is not activated, we will pay up to 500 million US dollars. Of course, they can also choose not to activate it, but they only need to pay us US$100 million.
When I activated the program on the 1st, Adi and the others did not refuse, because at that time the US stock market was still above 5,000 points and could rise to 5,500 points at any time. "
Zhao Dong did the math and said with a smile: "When they bought those subsidiaries, the U.S. stock market was in good shape, still around 4,000 points, right? Once it reaches 5,500 points, they will earn more than a billion dollars. If you don't By activating the agreement, they could earn at least 500 million, so they bought those companies with confidence."
Lindsay said proudly: "Greed makes people crazy."
Zhao Dong smiled and said: "Now they have fallen into a trap. If this bet is maintained until the end of 2001, the US stock market is likely to fall to 2,000 points, and each of them will have to pay us US$2 billion. Haha, it is indeed true. Greed makes people crazy.”
"Husband, after signing the bilateral agreement, I will also return to China with the group." Lindsay said with great reluctance.
"so what?"
Zhao Dong knew Lindsay too well and was alert.
"whee……"
Lindsay smiled, hugged Zhao Dong's arm, wiped it with her little face, and said softly: "I have time these days. It's time to fulfill the promise we made to my grandparents."
"really!"
Zhao Dong said helplessly: "I promised to get it next year, but it's not time yet!"
"The baby is born next year! Look, if you get pregnant this month, the baby will happen to be born in August or September next year, and you will be in China."
Lindsay raised her fingers to count the time for Zhao Dong.
"that……"
Zhao Dong was still a little hesitant. It was a little too early. He was only 22 years old and Lindsay was only 21 years old.
"If you don't agree, I'll tell my grandparents to go and make you kneel on the washboard when I get back." Lindsay immediately threatened with a serious face.
Under her threat, Zhao Dong had to compromise.
In the next few days, the two of them were messing around at home, with Zhao Dong's hands and legs weak, causing the Knicks to lose at home to the visiting Cavaliers, a bad team.
On the 14th, China and the United States signed a bilateral agreement on accession to the WTO, taking the most difficult step in joining the WTO.
On this day, the U.S. stock market closed at 4301 points. It had continued to fall nearly a thousand points from its highest point, and it was confirmed that the bullish trend had turned bearish.
In the evening, the Chinese Consulate in New York held a celebration banquet, and Zhao Dong was also invited to attend.
"Come on, let's all have a toast."
Mr. Zhu raised his wine glass happily.
"cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses, including Zhao Dong and Lindsay.
"Liu Wei, why don't you drink?"
Mr. Zhu was a little confused when he saw that Lindsay only raised the glass but did not drink it.
"I'll drink it for her."
Zhao Dong quickly took Lindsay's wine glass.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Mr. Zhu asked with concern.
"No, Mr. Zhu, that's it. We...we are planning to have a child, so you see..." Zhao Dong said.
"Oh, that's right, haha..."
Mr. Zhu said happily: "It's good to have children. You two are very good, and your next generation will be the same. Have more children and give birth to more talents for the country."
Lindsay looked at Zhao Dong with a smile, and Zhao Dong said quickly: "That won't work, Mr. Zhu, there is a family planning policy, and you can only have one child."
"Special circumstances will be dealt with specially. Liu Wei has a special status and the family planning policy cannot control her." Mr. Zhu said with a smile.
After he finished speaking, he ignored Zhao Dong and said to the others: "Liu Wei has made great contributions to this negotiation. Come on, let's toast her."
In response, everyone raised their glasses to Lindsay.
To be honest, Lindsay's current status in the country, whether it is private or official, is too high. She is the real God of Wealth.
In this era of investment promotion, if you can get hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, you have to pay tribute like an ancestor, let alone Lindsay who can easily spend hundreds of billions of dollars?
This was Tianlong Investment Bank’s second recruitment order in the United States. The number of responders was overwhelming, accelerating the decline of U.S. stocks and adding legal weight to the signing of the agreement.
Zhao Dong drank another drink on behalf of Lindsay, found an opportunity, and said to Mr. Zhu: "Mr. Zhu, this, that..."
"Don't do this or that, just tell me if you have something to say." Mr. Zhu said.
"That's right, Mr. Zhu, if Aiweier is pregnant, can you arrange for a Chinese doctor to take a look at her and give her an abortion? I'm not worried about playing here," Zhao Dong said.
Mr. Zhu shook his head and waved his hands: "You don't have to worry about these things. Your wife is a national-level economic and financial consultant. Tianlong Investment Bank is now the pillar of national economic development. Her salary is national-level, and her level is much higher than that of your father. She is now more important to the country than I am, and her health problems are monitored by the best health doctors every day, and no problems are allowed to occur."
In the following conversation, Zhao Dong intentionally touched on some issues, such as cultural invasion and economic monopoly.
"Mr. Zhu, a large amount of foreign capital will enter the country in the future, and the instinct of capital determines that it will definitely act unfavorably to us. This is something we need to be vigilant about.
In some industries, we should set rules to protect our local industries. This has nothing to do with protectionism. "
This statement is related to the purpose of the Belgium-Belgium Agreement just signed, because openness and protectionism are opposites.
Mr. Zhu seriously signaled Zhao Dong to continue speaking, and the others also calmed down and listened to Zhao Dong's words.
Zhao Dong said seriously: "We need an antitrust law now."
The reason why he mentioned this is because this domestic law came out a little late, and was only set in 2008. This year's accession to the WTO was earlier, and with the influence and leadership of Tianlong Investment Bank, foreign capital entered the country faster and more , without this law, foreign capital will run rampant in the country unscrupulously, with unpredictable consequences.
"Anti-monopoly law?" Mr. Zhu nodded thoughtfully.
Zhao Dong added: "For example, the grain and oil industry, especially the grain industry, the seed industry, and other similar industries, strategic resource industries, these must be in our own hands.
However, facing the impact of foreign capital, these industries of ours cannot stop it at all, so we need to carry out anti-monopoly in the name of the country. "
At this time, Lindsay interjected: "Monopoly is the key means for capital to control the world. Through the advantages of capital and technology, and through a large number of mergers and acquisitions, foreign capital can indeed quickly form monopolies in certain key domestic industries. At present, domestic All industries, no matter in terms of capital scale or technology, have no ability to resist.
Even if existing companies occupy a major market share in the country, they will not be able to compete with large-scale capital acquisitions. "
At this time, Mr. Zhu looked very serious. He thought of the grain and oil industry that Zhao Dong just mentioned. Once foreign capital forms a monopoly on grain and oil in China, and the stomachs of more than one billion people are controlled by capital, what will happen? The river in Zhumen stinks, and the roads are frozen to death.
When he thought of this, he felt a sense of urgency.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Once China's accession to the WTO is completed, a large amount of international funds will enter the mainland through Hong Kong. Tianlong Investment Bank will play a very important role and is an important channel. Liu Wei, Zhao Dong..."
He looked at the two Lindsays and said earnestly: "There is a serious lack of experience in this area in China. You should pay attention to this situation. If there are signs that capital wants to control our key industries, remind us immediately."
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhu, we will do it."
Zhao Dong and Lindsay nodded. Tianlong Investment Bank will become the channel for most international funds to enter the mainland. As long as the funds pass through their hands, they can control the investment destination of these funds and play a regulatory role.
Zhao Dong finally said: "The reason why Tianlong Investment Bank requires the establishment of so many large-scale group companies and concentrates a lot of resources is to prepare for joining the WTO. We now have scale advantages at least in certain important strategic industries."
Lindsay also said: "Next, once the funds recruited by Tianlong are in place, we can be the first to carry out a wave of counter-acquisitions and mergers and acquisitions abroad. Through scale expansion, we can acquire a large number of foreign technologies and markets, and strive to be the first to obtain a certain monopoly in the country. Advantage."
"After returning to China, I will immediately organize relevant departments and people to conduct research on the anti-monopoly law and strive to come up with it as soon as possible."
Mr. Zhu said seriously.
At 9 a.m. on the 15th, Lindsay returned to China with the team, and Zhao Dong saw him off at the airport.
This time, because Lindsay might be pregnant, at Ms. Able's insistence, she took a dozen trained staff and two professional doctors and nurses to fly to China.
After Lindsay flew away, Zhao Dong made a phone call back, and it was his mother who answered the phone.
"Hello, Dongdong?"
"Mom, Aiweier has just returned to China, and it may not be until twelve o'clock in the evening when he lands."
"Oh, do you want to be picked up at home?"
"She is traveling with the group, so there should be arrangements. I mean, if she is pregnant, you should pay attention at home and don't let her have too much access to the computer, and don't let her work too hard. Remind her to rest."
"Pregnant? Oops, okay, okay, mom will remember, haha... old man, old lady..." Li Meizhu over there stopped talking to Zhao Dong and shouted at the top of her voice.
"Mom, it's just possible."
Zhao Dong said helplessly, but his mother probably couldn't hear him.
At noon that day, the league announced the MVP rankings for this season, with Zhao Dong ranking first.
He has won the regular season MVP for two consecutive seasons. If he wins this honor again this season, he will break the historical record of this honor and win the MVP three times in a row for the first time.
The league and the media reporters who participated in the selection do not want to give this honor to him now, just like they did not want to give it to Jordan back then, but his data is too outstanding. The second-placed Duncan is far behind him and they are not allowed to him. Ranked first, this ranking is not convincing at all.
Dayao also performed very well in the Nets. He averaged 34 minutes per game, 15.1 field goals and 8.5 field goals, a field goal percentage of 56%, 6.2 free throws and 5.3 free throws, a field goal percentage of 85%. He averaged 22.3 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. He was the Nets' second scorer. point, the first scoring point inside.
"Dayao, your efficiency is good. As long as your performance continues, your rookie season evaluation will not be lower than Duncan's."
Zhao Dong happily called him.
Dayao's number of shots was about the same as Duncan's rookie season, slightly less, and their shooting percentages were also similar. The only difference was that Dayao's free throw shooting was better, while Duncan's free throw shooting percentage was a little less than 70%.
But Dayao's defensive performance is still weaker than Duncan's. Duncan is overall stronger on both offense and defense.
At the same time, Duncan's one-handed hitting in the low post is very stable, which is where he is stronger.
However, Dayao also has his strong points. In addition to free throws, his offensive area is not comparable to Duncan.
Even if Duncan is not injured now, his dribbling ability is still excellent, and he can even attack the basket directly from the three-point line with the ball, but his jump shooting ability is far inferior to Dayao, and his ability to stretch is not as good as Dayao.
That is to say, because of Yao's ability to pull out, his offensive power will be more powerful than Duncan's. Even on the three-point line, he cannot be left open. It is very difficult to defend, and switching defenses equals openings.
That's why Zhao Dongcai believes that as long as Dayao continues to perform well, his rookie season evaluation will not be weaker than Duncan's.
In fact, Duncan's career data in the previous life was 19+10.8, and Dayao's was 19+9.2. There is not much difference in the offensive strength between the two. Duncan relied on stable and efficient rebounding, while Dayao's offensive methods More.
In the last life, Dayao was no weaker than Duncan in terms of offensive efficiency at the basket and nearly two points.
In this life, Dayao will be stronger as long as he trains for one or two more seasons.
On the 17th, the Knicks went to Salt Lake City to play against the Jazz away from home.
The Jazz are rebuilding and have selected several first-round picks this year, including Odom, Baron Davis, Corey Maggette, and Kirilenko who is not going to the Spurs. They are full of potential.
Coupled with the fact that old men such as Brian Russell and Jeff Horacek are still qualified as main players, the new Jazz still have good strength.
However, against such a Jazz, the Knicks still won the game safely. Zhao Dong alone defeated the inside combination of Odom and Odoli Polynice.
