Chapter 638 [The perfect ending, the matter of picking up money for nothing]
Because of the system upgrade, Yang Jian couldn't help but have random thoughts. When celebrating the championship with his teammates, he was a little distracted and was photographed.
As soon as the on-site cameraman saw Yang Jian's expression, he knew that he was in a state of freeing his mind and gave him several close-up shots. Just by looking at his expression, the reporters could write big news.
When Jordan retired in 1993, he said he had no more challenges, but he soon came back. Although Yang Jian would not retire suddenly, he seemed to really feel that the NBA had no more challenges, and he was even in a daze during the trophy presentation ceremony.
Reporters felt that this was directly related to the fact that the Pacers were too weak, so weak that Yang Jian couldn't lift his spirits.
President David Stern now thinks so too. He feels that a team like the Pacers is a team that cannot even be praised, and its stars do not attract the attention of fans at all.
I don’t know why, but this team has never had a big-name star, not even a player who can average 30 points per game in a single season. It’s too mediocre.
After winning the championship, all the SuperSonics players were very excited, including Dale Ellis and Damon Jones, who did not make the playoff roster. It doesn't matter if they didn't play, they will definitely have the championship ring. This is lying
win.
Players who have not appeared in the rookie period receive more benefits. Winning a championship means that they don't have to worry about the next contract. Anyone who wins a championship, no matter how bad the data is, can be called a "championship puzzle."
Among the players who left the Sonics, except for Kevin Edwards, who requested a trade at the earliest and had no ball to play in the second year, they all did very well. The Sonics are now almost becoming a place where dreams come true, and veterans without rings
Everyone wants to join.
At the press conference, Yang Jian talked about his feelings and said: "The SuperSonics have the ability to win the championship every season. This season I am in good shape, our whole team is in good shape, and we have a perfect ending. Next season,
My goal is still to win the championship."
The reporter asked: "Many people are discussing your historical status. Where do you think you can rank now?"
"I think it doesn't matter where you are, the key is what others think. The number one player in NBA history must be the one everyone recognizes, not the self-proclaimed one." Yang Jian said with a smile.
There are people in the parallel world who call themselves goats. Yang Jian cannot do this kind of thing. It's not that he doesn't have enough honors, but that he is too thin-skinned.
There are also people who think that they should win the Oscar for best actor, but in the end they can only win the Razzie. This is the same reason. It is not that popular stars can brainwash people all over the world through media hype every day, but can only brainwash fools.
Yang Jian didn't comment much on himself. He mainly praised his teammates and coaches, saying that winning the championship was the result of everyone's joint efforts. His teammates praised Yang Jian even more enthusiastically.
As soon as the news came out, many fans felt that Yang Jian was super powerful and unmatched.
Others are far behind him, including Payton. Unlike the parallel world, Payton has never had unlimited shooting rights, nor has he averaged peak figures of 24.2 points and 8.9 assists per game.
Having never done this, Payton has no desire for unlimited shooting rights. He has been a veteran in the NBA for 10 years and does not feel that he still has potential to be tapped.
Fans did not bother to disparage the Pacers players during the discussion. Their popularity was too low. Many people felt that the Pacers were able to break through in the Eastern Conference because of the overall weak strength of the Eastern Conference teams. As long as there are superstars in the Eastern Conference, it is impossible to win.
Like this.
The Sonics returned to Seattle overnight.
When Yang Jian arrived home, she found that the house was very lively and full. Her girlfriends had already promised to attend this year's championship celebration party.
There is a buddy who came here asking for a script and a hand, and that’s Ryan Reynolds.
The North American box office of "The Rich Man" starring Leonardo DiCaprio is hitting the 200 million mark. A romantic comedy can compete with "Mission: Impossible 2" at the box office. This is a superstar.
Reynolds also hopes that he can star in such a big hit movie, he wants to become famous. Now Tobey Maguire has not auditioned for Spider-Man, otherwise he will definitely be more jealous.
Originally, Tobey was not as good as Reynolds. After starring in Spider-Man, his popularity will definitely surpass him by a lot. The "Fast and Furious" series of movies cannot compete with "Spider-Man" at the box office. The box office of the old trilogy is very
fear.
Yang Jian doesn't know how to arrange Reynolds. It's hard to find a suitable series for him. The most suitable role is Deadpool. Even if he plays a series, he won't be as popular as Leonardo and Toby.
The next day, not only friends from the entertainment industry, but also friends from the music industry such as Britney, Eminem, and Lincoln also came to attend the celebration party.
Yang Jian and them sang many songs at the party, allowing the guests present to listen to the live concert.
The next day, Yang Jian continued to play with her friends, treating them to meals and entertainment, and looking for the most expensive places to spend money.
Last week he liquidated his Yahoo stock position and made a lot of money.
He bought a lot of Yahoo stocks one after another, and his net worth increased again and again, reaching more than 500 million US dollars. This does not include the money he invested in Amazon and the money he invested in making movies at Huaer Pictures.
Yahoo is now at its peak, and Yang Jian’s behavior is incomprehensible. On January 3 this year, Yahoo’s market value reached US$128 billion, ranking first in the global Internet rankings.
In the parallel world, from 2000 to 2006, Yahoo has always occupied the top spot among the world's Internet companies in terms of market value. However, Yang Jian does not plan to buy any more Yahoo shares in the future and has given up his status as a shareholder.
Because he knew that this company would continue to decline in the future and eventually be acquired by Google.
In 1997, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who had just developed the web backlink project backrub, wanted to sell the project to Yahoo for $1 million. But at that time, Yahoo was busy "enclosing land" around the world.
They ignored it at all. Page and Brin, frustrated, decided to do it themselves. In September 1998, Google was born in a garage.
Since then, Google has become the biggest obstacle to Yahoo's business expansion. Yang Jian is now preparing to invest in Google and will ask people from the economic team to ask how many shares can be purchased, and he will make a lot of money when it goes public. He will not
Participate in the management of the company, only invest and distribute dividends, and become an angel investor.
In addition, Yang Jian also plans to invest in Facebook in the future. This is all a matter of making money for free and does not require any thinking at all.
In 2006, Yahoo also tried to acquire Facebook, quoting US$1 billion for the acquisition. At that time, Zuckerberg and Facebook's investors almost agreed to the deal. However, Yahoo lowered the price to US$850 million just before signing the contract.
Zuckerberg was so angry that he tore up the agreement submitted by Yahoo in front of everyone at the board meeting.
Beginning in 2008, Yahoo's market value plummeted by nearly $80 billion in seven years, and management finally succeeded in committing suicide.
In 2001, when Yahoo tried to acquire Google, the Internet bubble burst globally, and Yahoo's stock price and revenue plummeted, evaporating 60% in half a year, and the decline began.
Yang Jian didn't have to wait until the stock price reached its highest point before selling. After clearing out his shares, he now has a lot of money, and he doesn't know how to spend it. He plans to use part of the money to invest in movies, and he can definitely make some big productions, "Chicago"
It's just a calf test.
After a day off, Yang Jian participated in the championship parade held in Seattle with the Sonics.
The final location was again at the NFL's Seattle Seahawks football stadium. This time Yang Jian not only interacted with the fans and talked about a lot of thoughts, but also sang five songs live.
Although Yang Jian did not hold a concert, the fans were extremely excited. In particular, he sang "Intheend" with Eminem and "Senorita" with Britney. It is such a rare opportunity to see this live.
The news today was all about Yang Jian, and other Sonics players were only mentioned casually by the media. That's the bad thing about being teammates with superstars. The superstars steal the spotlight so much that teammates can only play supporting roles.
A group of people were very satisfied to be interviewed. They knew themselves. Without Yang Jian, they might not be able to win the championship until they retire.
The gossip media also talked about some scandals, but Yang Jian didn't even bother to explain, and still brushed it off by saying that she was good friends with the female celebrities.
He only stayed in Seattle for five days before he decided to fly to Los Angeles to live for a while. When he got on the plane, he suddenly heard a system prompt and the upgrade was finally completed.
