Chapter 665 The Pioneer of the Basketball Empire

The Shanghai side has basically been settled.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar personally supervised Yao Ming's training, so there must be no problem, and this allowed Yao Ming to receive top-level special training before entering the league, which is also conducive to future development. At present, all Li Shengli can do is wait.

As for Old Turner, he couldn't do the scrap-level translation work anymore, so he simply hired a professional translator to be in charge of the communication between Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Yao Ming, and he himself had to accompany Li Shengli to sort out the domestic accounts.

……

Sweep the yard frequently and seldom go to the market, and save a little donkey for three years.

Li Shengli will be sure that he can open a donkey farm.

Since joining the Lakers, his salary has increased a lot, and regardless of the previous investment plan... the total amount of his two-year contract with the Lakers is 2300 million, and he has been saving it. The crown bonus is more than 660 million, and the old Turner has also found many endorsement contracts.

Calculated after tax, it is almost 2000 million U.S. dollars.

If it is calculated according to the official exchange rate of 98 in 8.27... Li Shengli dare not think that he has accumulated such a large amount of assets in the past few years. A group of financial advisors have been added to the team to take care of these assets.

……

"Li, this is the asset allocation plan formulated by our subordinate team for you."

Back at the hotel at night, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar didn’t know if he was too interested in Yao Ming, and he didn’t come back at 7:[-] p.m., but there was nothing to worry about. financial summary.

"According to your usual... uh, frugal consumption habits, you can keep [-] for annual daily expenses, and the rest will be invested in low, medium and high risk according to the ratio of [-]. The specific projects will be discussed later. It was reported to you, as long as you agree to this plan, the work direction of the financial consultants for the next year will be determined."

"Well... wait a moment, I use this money, and I can only invest 500 million for you."

"Why, can your alliance's money-saving miracle have other uses?" Old Turner was taken aback.

"Hmm..." Li Shengli pondered for a while, "Putting 500 million into the expenses for going to Greenville, this money is the special funds of the two uncles Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Thompson, after all, they don't have much other income. "

What the fuck?

Is this horse riding crazy?

The old Turner really couldn't understand... 500 million US dollars, Li Shengli gave it to Kareem and Kareem, he didn't feel bad, but he could go to the away game with a meal of [-] US dollars to make up for the restaurant, but Li Shengli wanted to pick up the bill with Kobe, Daben and other teammates, who would pay more? Can't steal a piece of French fries?

……

"What about the others?" Old Turner immediately asked, "Let's roughly calculate... you have allocated 2000 million of our idle 1000 million funds, so what about the remaining 1000 million?"

"Let me ask you, what's the current situation of the three factories we invested in?"

"This...is embarrassing. Under the asset allocation plan, there is also a report on existing assets. Because of the low labor force, it has already entered the stage of return output, but recently due to the catastrophic flood disaster in your country, production has been suspended. It has been a period of time, so financial consultants apply... selling these low-yield projects as non-performing assets can ensure the safety of the investment principal.”

"I agree to this, and the recovered principal will be handed over to me. If you don't lose money, you have to have 500 million, right?"

"It depends on the quotation of the transaction party, but it must be more than 500 million, and there is an increase of about 5 to 10 points."

"That's fine, let's sell it, 500 million is enough!" Li Shengli made a final decision, "Probably means... can you be sure that we have 500 million in activity funds?"

"So much money, what do you want?" Old Turner had a bad feeling.

……

The catastrophic flood in 98 was very serious, and even Li Shengli's hometown was also affected by the disaster, so he planned to donate 500 million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 4000 million local currency, to the disaster area.

This kind of thing is needless to think about.

When people are poor, they can only talk about themselves, but when they are rich, they can see social responsibility. Even if Li Shengli does not have the slightest mentality of the rich, he still wants to do what he can.

As for why the rest is not donated, it is because... Li Shengli wants to do more for his colleagues in the domestic basketball industry. After all, disasters will always pass, and if domestic colleagues have the opportunity to play abroad, let’s not talk about personal benefits. , It is definitely of great benefit to the development of Chinese basketball.

What are domestic colleagues afraid of now?

What I'm afraid of is that when people leave and come back, their bowls will be smashed!

As a pioneer in the NBA, Li Shengli really doesn't want everyone to take unnecessary risks. At the very least, he has to dispel some of your concerns and give everyone a different bowl for dinner.

……

"1000 million is ready."

"What's the use, such a large sum..."

"Set up a public welfare fund! Well, professional things are handled by professionals, so you have to work hard, first clarify the domestic process, the main thing is... to bear the expenses of domestic players who want to play in the United States and some necessary aftermath, and did not play in the NBA. If you want to come back, you can arrange to be our basketball coach with a salary higher than that in China.”

"Then build some schools in remote areas, pick out some good seedlings and train them. If domestic retired professional players are willing, they can be grassroots coaches, and if they are high-level, they can be basketball training camp coaches. Prepare more food bowls for everyone."

"Turner, Turner, did you listen to what I said?!" Li Shengli pushed the stunned old Turner and continued: "I'm just giving a general direction, and I don't know the specifics. The rules and regulations are still up to you. Find someone to draft, and I will talk to Li Qiuping about it, ask him for help, he should be more familiar with it.”

"I... Are you crazy about riding a horse?" Old Turner said the first sentence, feeling that Li Shengli didn't use money as money at all, and used 1000 million US dollars and more than 8000 million local currency to set up a public welfare fund?

"Isn't this great? Regardless of the funds, we can form a perfect talent pipeline from top to bottom. The top players go to the NBA, the middle ones go to the CBA, and the lower ones directly join the grassroots training. A virtuous cycle."

……

Old Turner was shocked by Li Shengli's madness, even if it was just a preliminary idea, it was too amazing.

Basketball Empire?

Is this riding a horse to build a basketball empire?

But there were problems and obstacles. The old Turner thought about it, and said seriously: "Li, believe me, I can't hold on. You plan like this, and a fund of 1000 million yuan can't operate such a fund at all."

"But isn't the foundation still able to use the principal to invest and make profits? And I will inject more capital later on. The salaries of players who have entered the professional game are not low. As long as someone can use the foundation, we can require them to repay the fund in our articles of association. Yes, guaranteed to work."

"Well, although it's somewhat idealistic, it's still an idea that can be tried?" Old Turner pondered for a while and said, "It's just...you may not get any real rewards."

"If you want anything in return, it would cost me all my life savings and I wouldn't do it, but it's not a big deal to save a year or two of income to open the way for the people behind. After all, it's useless for me to keep money, just earn a good reputation. "

"Well, I think this is a very real idea!"

"Okay, I've decided on this matter, and I've also decided on the other 500 million yuan. I'll replace it with supplies and donate it to the disaster area. You can contact the Red Cross Society in China to do this!"

"Your domestic Red Cross?" Old Turner thought for a while and said, "Then wait for the foundation to be completed, donate in the name of the foundation, and don't go through the channel of the Red Cross, so that the materials you can send to the disaster area will not be discounted." .”

"Okay, as long as you know what you have, I will ask Li Qiuping to help you with the fundraising. As for donating materials..."

"This matter is difficult. I don't know the situation in your country. You have to find someone to help you deal with it." Old Turner said it was difficult. After all, he, Li Shengli's first housekeeper, is a true American.

"Then... the horse you saw before...Jack-Ma, do you still have any memory?"

"Yes, shit, this kid lost all our investment in building a website. Although he didn't invest much at the beginning, he is now looking for you everywhere with his bare buttocks, saying that there is a big project that will change the world. Waiting for your venture capital."

"Cough..." Li Shengli felt embarrassed when he thought of Jack Ma's failure in starting a business.

"Don't worry about it. You didn't invest much before. Call him and ask him to help you with this material donation."

"By the way, there is Dongzi, you remember, it's Richard Liu."

"Remember, of course I remember, it's the guy who played hooligans in Minnesota... It's embarrassing, and you lost the investment you gave them." Old Turner also knew about this at the time. After all, Li Shengli was still playing away games at the time, shouting everywhere People help catch this stuff.

"Ahem... let Jack and Richard help, this time it's done, I will continue to invest more in them." Li Shengli blushed, after all, he lost both investments, but fortunately, the loss was not too big.

"Let me forget it? Your investment level is too limited, whoever invests will pay."

"Damn, you... I can't spend my money, so I'll vote for them, and maybe you'll be scared off by earning your dentures. When the time comes, you will give the evaluation report and I will sign it. There is no news from the NBA yet. , We’ve been doing these few things recently, and we’ll go back after we’re done.”

"Okay, I see, who made you my boss."
