NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 297 Explosion to 400 million
In the afternoon, the two are going to watch a horse race.

In the United States, horse racing is one of the most popular sports events, surpassing NBA games. Many rich people or celebrities own their own horse racing.

There are many horse racing competitions, including international events. The horse race in New York today is an international event, and it is the top event, which is the so-called Triple Crown.

There are three stops in the Triple Crown, and New York is just one of them. The first stop is the Kentucky Derby, the second is the Prenix Championship, and the third is the Belmont Championship.

The Belmont Championship is held at Belmont Park in Long Island, New York. This racecourse is also known as the most luxurious racecourse in the world in the United States.

The Belmont Stakes is a first-class thoroughbred horse racing championship. The winning horse will be covered with carnations, so this event is also known as the Carnation Race.

The event has its own traditions. Men must wear light-colored suits, while women must wear charming dresses, and all kinds of exquisite hats and headgear.

A plethora of media reporters use their cameras to find the best, the most stunning, the most original looks.

It was an appointment to watch the Marseilles. Lindsay prepared a custom-made suit for Zhao Dong, her own dress and hat and headgear, which were specially designed by her personal dresser for this event.

In order to watch this race, the housekeeper, Ms. Abel, has been preparing for several days. She needs to take care of security, servants, travel of more than [-] people, including clothing and food.

Ms. Able is the most professional top housekeeper sent by Mrs. Dorisa from Europe this year. Her requirements are very high. Even the servants at home must meet her requirements, such as appearance, figure, etiquette and conversation. She even These people are required to have a certain degree of literary accomplishment, and she will also conduct regular training for her subordinates to make them better.

She had just arrived at Zhao Dong's house for more than two months, and she had already replaced most of the servants and workers with higher-quality people.

When Zhao Dong first heard the requirement of literary cultivation, he felt that Ms. Able was not picking servants, but recruiting top students from the School of Literature.

The event lasts a full day, with 13 races, each with a different sponsor, with the all-important tournament at 6pm.

When Zhao Dong and Lindsay brought a large group of people to Belmont Racecourse, it was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the 10th race was underway.

"Crack clap..."

The appearance of the two immediately attracted the attention of countless media. They followed them like bees, and the shutter sounded non-stop.

"Oh, even those servants are dressed in noble clothes. I bet Miss Lindsay must be of noble origin."

"There is no aristocrat named Lindsay in the whole world, maybe it is an illegitimate daughter? It is too common for those nobles in Europe to have illegitimate children."

"What about the illegitimate daughter? She is a Wall Street giant now, how many nobles have as much money as her?"

The people around are talking about it, envious, jealous, and admiring, the list goes on.

"Husband, the last championship was sponsored by our Dragon Sports."

"Really? And do we have our own racehorses?"

"The racecourse has been built, but there are no horses yet, hee hee, but I have already asked people to choose, and I want a batch of the best thoroughbred racehorses."

Zhao Dong and Lindsay chatted while walking towards the track.

When the people in front saw them coming, they also stepped out of the way. Some men gave Lindsay a bosom salute, some ladies bowed their knees, and Lindsay responded with a nod from time to time.

"Miss Lindsay, Feilong..."

"Mr. Dowland..."

Someone came over to say hello, Zhao Dong and the others saw it, but it turned out to be James Dowland.

After Dolan, some people came over, all of them were elite investors from Wall Street, none of them were industrial investors, they were all in finance.

There are also those who play industry, but they won't come because they don't belong to this circle.

And they don't dare to have too much contact with the big crocodiles in the financial circle, because they are afraid of being targeted and eaten.

"Birds of a feather flock together!"

Zhao Dong complained in his heart.

"Miss Lindsay, Dragon, are you interested in horse racing?" James Dowland asked.

"We are preparing our own racecourse." Zhao Dong laughed.

"I heard that today there is a horse that has won the championships of Kentaken and Prenix in a row. Maybe it will become the honor of the Triple Crown Horse." Someone said.

"Oh, really?"

These words immediately attracted everyone's interest.

There is an extremely rare honor in the Triple Crown Race, and that is the Triple Crown Horse.

There is a restriction in the Triple Crown, that is, only thoroughbred horses under the age of three can participate, and the so-called Triple Crown horse must win all three races.

This kind of thoroughbred horse reaches the age of competition, at least after two and a half years old, that is to say, it must win three championships within the remaining five or six months. In fact, only 8 racehorses in the entire United States have won this honor. The strength and luck of horse racing are both indispensable.

"Husband, do you want to place a bet?"

After chatting for a while, it was approaching six o'clock, and the last race was about to start.Lindsay asked with interest.

"What are the ways to play?" Zhao Dong asked with a smile.

"There are many, the only champion, the top three, guess the position, and many more." Lindsay shouted.

"I only guess the champion." Zhao Dong laughed.

"Then how about buying the single crown, and just buying the horse with the potential for a triple crown?" Lindsay asked.

"That's [-]% sure to lose. I don't think there will be a Triple Crown horse today. The chance of a Triple Crown horse is too small." Zhao Dong laughed.

"That's right. There must be many people betting on that horse today. The betting rate will not be high. Maybe you will only earn a few tens of cents per bet." Lindsay laughed.

"Dozens of cents? Don't make any bets, so as not to waste money." Zhao Dong laughed.

"We buy unpopular?" Lindsay laughed.

"Okay." Zhao Dong said.

The two began to discuss which horse to buy.

With the wealth of the two of them, they could have fished in a big net, but Lindsay, as a giant on Wall Street, did not allow herself to make such a foolish operation. She asked people to find all the information of the participating horses and began to analyze them.

"Honey, why did you buy it?"

Seeing that Lindsay analyzed for 10 minutes and chose the No. 23 horse, Zhao Dong asked curiously.

"This horse's physical fitness is good. It didn't participate in the previous Prienix station, and its strength is also good. It won No.3 in Kentucky Key. I calculated that it has the highest probability of winning the championship." Lin Sai laughed.

Zhao Dong nodded, winning the championship is indeed a matter of probability.

The next two bets were one hundred, five dollars each, all on No. 23.

"Jordan, you have to run hard, it's time to make money for us." Zhao Dong murmured looking at the No. 23 racehorse behind the fence.

"Pfft!"

Lindsay smiled.

"boom……"

When it was time for the race, when the fence was opened, more than a dozen racehorses began to start and rushed into the track, and shouts from both sides of the track suddenly rang out.

At this point in Chicago, Jordan and his agent, David Falk, were sitting with a new Nike vice president.

"This is my new signature sneaker?" Jordan looked at the sneakers in his hand, a little surprised.

"Michael, your new shoes have incorporated the technology of the Silver Devils. It will be released in the new season. It is better than any of your previous signature balls. You can try it when you have time."

Nike Vice President Weeks laughed.

"Mr. Weeks, is Nike going to merge with Feilong Sports?" Falk asked quickly.

Shaking his head, Weeks said: "President Lindsay has decided that Nike will continue to exist, and Storm will stop splitting Nike."

"what?"

Falk was shocked.

He feels that he has been tricked. For the past few months, the Storm Fund has been talking about splitting up Nike, and has sold a lot of businesses. The Nike shares in his hand have also been forced to sell at a low price. Didn't he lose a lot of money in vain?

Jordan was also stunned. Like Falk, he had sold his shares in Nike, but he was not only surprised, but also happy, because if Nike didn't dismantle it, his brand could be kept.

"Sir, since it is not merged, how can my shoes have the technology of the Silver Devil?" He asked in surprise.

Weeks laughed: "This is still an undisclosed secret."

"secret?"

"Flying Dragon Sports will use Silver Devil's technology to invest in Nike."

"what?"

Jordan and Falk were shocked.

That's a good thing, and it couldn't have been better for Jordan.

But Falke's heart hurts now. He can imagine that once this news is announced to the public, and the news that the storm will no longer split Nike, under the stimulus of the two big benefits, Nike's shares will definitely take a rocket and go up. The shares that were sold at a low price never came back.

He said with a dry smile, "Mr. Weeks, when will this news be announced?"

Weeks smiled and said, "Before the market opens tomorrow."

"Sure enough."

Falk muttered in frustration.

He can imagine that after the market opens tomorrow, there will be a lot of buying orders for Nike, and the stock price will skyrocket.

"Oh yeah!"

"we won!"

At this time, at the racecourse in Belmont Park on Long Island, Zhao Dong and Lindsay cheered, and horse No. 23 really won the race.

"How much can we win?" Zhao Dong asked with great interest.

Lindsay glanced at the group of Wall Street elites around him, and said with a smile, "Each bet will not exceed ten dollars."

Zhao Dong was stunned: "So few?"

"Because they all followed up just now, it will greatly dilute our profits."

Lindsay pointed to those people, and whispered: "They are now part of the peripheral funds of the Storm Fund, and of course they are also our ammunition."

At 08:30 on the morning of the [-]nd, Storm Fund, Dragon Sports, and Nike suddenly held a tripartite joint press conference.

First, the Storm Fund announced that it would no longer split Nike.

Second, the three parties officially announced that Nike will carry out a targeted capital increase and share expansion with a total of [-] million shares, and Feilong Sports will be the party responsible for the targeted efficiency increase and share expansion.

And Feilong Sports will use many of Silver Devil's patented technologies to buy shares in Nike, with as many as 630 patents, at a price of 37 billion US dollars, and another [-] million US dollars in capital increase cash.

In other words, Feilong Sports will own 42 million shares of Nike for [-] billion US dollars.

Nike originally had 3.66 million shares, but now it has increased by 2.5 million shares, which is 6.16 million shares. Feilong Sports will own 40.58% of its shares, and its market value will break through [-] billion again.

Nike's closing price yesterday was US$20.5, with a market value of US$75 billion. According to this share, the price of Feilong Sports' capital increase and share expansion exceeds the market price.

These two pieces of news are good news for the secondary market, and they are big news.

The first news will be a boost to Nike's stock price, because Nike will continue to exist.

The second news is a dose of fuel, which will allow Nike's technology to be perfected and its development potential greatly increased.

As for whether the hundreds of patented technologies of Silver Devil are worth more than 30 billion U.S. dollars, this is up to Feilong Sports and Storm Fund. One is the seller and the other is the buyer. That's worth it.

Of course, the final value or not depends on the market reaction.

At 09:30, US stocks opened.

However, Nike did not open. Because of the stock expansion, the market was suspended for two hours and opened at 11:30.

In the middle of the eleventh, Lindsay sat in the office, looked at the computer screen, and observed the reaction of Nike's capital increase and share expansion in the market.

She thinks this is a great benefit, because Feilong Sports has occupied 30% of the North American basketball shoe market with the Silver Devil, forcing the stock prices of giants such as Nike and Adidas to plummet, and their market value has been halved. If Nike has some of these technologies, It must be able to return to the top, at least to stabilize the current share.

But even without this news, the news that the storm will no longer split Nike is enough for Nike to ascend to heaven.

Sure enough, as soon as the market opened, a huge amount of buy orders directly sent Nike's stock price on a rocket.

Of course, among these bills, the help of the Storm Fund is indispensable.

Unlike China, the U.S. stock market does not close at noon until the market closes at 48.8 pm. At the close, Nike's closing price reached 52.5 US dollars, the highest price in the day was [-] US dollars, and it retracted slightly in late trading. The only retraction.

The expansion of 2.5 million shares not only did not cause a decline after ex-rights, but also more than doubled the market value. From the market value of 75 billion US dollars at the close of the previous trading day, it reached 300 billion US dollars in just one trading day, and the market value skyrocketed by 4 times.

"Success." Lindsay said happily to herself.

Coupled with Feilong Sports' entry into the secondary market, Feilong Sports now owns 45% of Nike's share, plus the share in the hands of Storm Fund, she controls 80% of Nike's share in her hands, and she can control 100% of Nike's stock price.

The entire plan, including the acquisition of the Knight family's share, used the Storm Fund for 60 billion US dollars, Dragon Sports for 240 million US dollars, plus hundreds of patented technologies, and now has [-] billion shares of Nike, and the benefits are very considerable.

As long as she doesn't let go of Nike, those hundreds of patented technologies will not go away, and for Nike, what she wants to do is long-term investment, making Nike into her and Zhao Dong's pocketbook.

Next, Storm Fund and Feilong Sports will slowly sell some stocks and get back the invested funds. In this way, the cost of becoming the owner of Nike is only the few hundred technologies left, and the rest is earned. of.

The success of this plan is of great significance to Storm Fund, and the good rate of return will further her reputation on Wall Street.

For Nike and Feilong Sports, her development rule is one Chinese and one foreign.

Taking into account the exclusivity of Western countries, Nike mainly focuses on foreign markets, mainly in the mid-to-high-end market.

Feilong Sports focuses on the domestic, Asian, and third world markets, and mainly deals in the low-end and mid-end markets.

That night, the Knicks beat the Cavaliers at home.

The intensive schedule continues, and more and more stars are injured. Nearly 110 players in the league have suffered injuries this season. The NBA continues to bear the adverse effects of the long-term suspension.

"This is too bad!"

On the [-]th, in the game against the Heat, the postman Malone, who is known for his strength, injured his knee and will be out for a week. He complained to the media: "I don't want to play this kind of season again."

The entire league, except for fringe players, other main players and important substitute players, have expressed their dislike for the long lockout.

Perhaps Zhao Dong was the only one who didn't experience the physical damage caused by the cruel competition system. There was no way, his physical fitness was too strong.

The closer to the second half, the stronger his physical fitness is reflected.

When the state of other superstars declines, even superstars like Jordan, Postman, and Duncan have entered the state of rotation, reducing their playing time, but he can still perform extraordinary performances every game, and the playing time is almost full. He has become the biggest bright spot in the league.

This situation has made more and more people recognize his No.1 status in active service.

At around eight o'clock in the evening on April 4th, Zhao Dong changed his mobile phone card and made a domestic call.

At this time in China, it is morning, May Day.

Zhao Zhenguo is on duty in the office, and as the head of the Municipal Bureau, he is able to take responsibility.

There were three phones on his desk, when the red phone rang suddenly, his expression tensed, and he quickly picked up the receiver.

"I'm Zhao Zhenguo."

"Dad, it's me."

Zhao Zhenguo was stunned, and said angrily: "Zhao Dong, you are crazy, why are you making this call?"

"Dad, you won't let me call, why give me this number?" Zhao Dong said.

"Uh……"

Zhao Zhenguo immediately reacted, frowned, and asked in a very stern tone: "What's the matter with you? If there is nothing important, be careful when you get home, and I will beat you to death."

"Comrade Zhao Zhenguo, stop talking nonsense and listen carefully. I have something very important to tell you." Zhao Dong whispered.

"Tell me." Zhao Zhenguo said in a deep voice.

Zhao Dongdao: "I accidentally got a piece of news from a certain channel...the embassy in the southern country...bombed..."

Before Zhao Zhenguo finished listening, a thin layer of sweat began to break out on his forehead. After listening, he immediately asked: "Zhao Dong, can you guarantee that what you said is true? I warn you, if you talk nonsense, you will be killed in the future." There is no need to go back to the country, if you dare to come back, I will handcuff you personally."

"I can't say the source of the news, because I got it by accident. You also know that I often come into contact with many people on Wall Street through some activities of the Storm Fund. In addition, I can't be sure whether the news is confirmed. You can judge for yourself." Zhao host.

"Don't worry about it, just be careful outside."

Zhao Zhenguo gave some advice and hung up the phone with a bang.

Zhao Dong over there also breathed a sigh of relief, took out the phone card, chopped it up and rushed into the toilet.
