PS：!!!!!!!!
In the afternoon, Zhang Long and his aunt, Zhang Qing. Take a taxi to the city center, the famous shopping mall Pioneer Square.
"Aunt. We're looking for the Dragon Country Bank."
"Hello, Uncle Driver. Excuse me, is there a bank near Pioneer Square?”His aunt, Zhang Qing, was sitting in the passenger seat. He looked at the taxi driver.
"Zhang! My son is your fan. Can you give me an autograph?”The taxi driver saw Zhang Long from the rearview mirror. He was shocked.
"No problem. Thank you for your support." Zhang Long was very enthusiastic. With a smile on his face, he signed his name for the taxi driver.
Unknowingly, he had become the city hero in the hearts of the people of Oakland.
Under the taxi driver's guidance, they drove to the branch of Hua Xia Bank.
After entering the bank, Zhang Long went to the counter to check the accounts.
"Mr. Zhang. There was a transfer of 7 million USD to your account. 500,000. An hour ago, he received another transfer of 14.4 million USD.”The bank counter operator had an envious expression. He looked at the computer screen.
As expected of a superstar, he could actually earn so much money.
"Alright, thank you." Zhang Long finally heaved a sigh of relief.”
"By the way, I want to apply for another card. Use my aunt's identity card. Then, please insert it into this card. Transfer 20 million USD."
Zhang Long finished his business at the counter and held a new card in his hand. "Aunt." This is your capital. There's 20 million dollars inside."
"So many?" Zhang Qing was a little surprised.
"Not much. According to the company's framework, bodyguards. driver. Life Assistant. A personal trainer and a trader.”Zhang Long said in a deep voice.
"Trader? "What are you doing?" Zhang Qing couldn't understand.
"Aunt. It was impossible to play basketball for a lifetime. I'll retire at the age of 40.”
"I have to think about the rest of our lives. The investment outside the stadium was crucial.”
"I saw it on the news. It's the financial tycoon Soros. Now, we're preparing to short the currency of the four little dragons in Asia..." Zhang Long bent down and whispered into his aunt's ear. He whispered his plan in a low voice.
Zhang Qing was a little surprised and uncertain. She frowned slightly."Alright then. I trust you. You tell me what to do, and I'll help you operate it outside the court.”
His plan was very simple. On July 2, 1997, the famous Asian financial crisis occurred. The country's currency would abandon the fixed exchange rate. The Thai baht was greatly depreciated.
He needed his aunt, Zhang Qing, to lead the operation. Ambush in advance and buy short exchange rate futures contracts. A three-month delivery contract.
Exchange rate: To put it bluntly, it was the floating exchange rate between the two countries 'currencies.
Going short meant a fall, and going long meant a rise.
As long as a certain amount of deposit was paid, it could be implemented.
This was all thanks to America's financial market. Anything could be sold short.
Foreign Exchange stock index futures gold. Silver. oil. Soy. Metallic Ni. Corns and so on.
Zhang Long only needed to take a small sip of the soup. He didn't dare to be too greedy because there was a risk.
He still remembered the famous financial defense battle of Xiangjiang City in his previous life.
October. He remembered it was late October. The Hang Sheng Index would plummet by more than 1000 points.
At that time, he was ready to play in the regular season. There was no time.
Therefore, he could only look for his closest relatives. To do this secretly, using the dollars he earned from endorsements.
Ambush in advance and secretly short the Hang Sang Index. As long as the future didn't change, he would be able to make a huge profit of about 300 to 400 million dollars.
In this way, he could also buy shares in a certain team. Becoming one of the bosses.
This was Zhang Long's plan for his life.
Playing basketball was just a side thing. Outside the stadium, he invested and made a lot of money. This was the main point.
In the end, Zhang Long had his own ambitions. How could he keep working for others?
Becoming one of the owners of an NBA team was the most important change in life.
Zhang Long was at Pioneer Square again. She bought a Chanel dress and a professional dress. It was an LV bag for women.
"Aunt. Don't reject me. As a successful career woman, she needed to dress up properly.”
"Besides, Aunty. In the City of Rose, Oakland. It was a famous tax-free continent, and it was also exempt from the consumption tax.”
"Oh, I understand. The reason why you had Pepsi's executives come all the way to sign the contract in Orlando was that you had to be careful. Zhang Qing was holding two Louis Vuitton shopping bags in her hands. He looked as if he had suddenly realized something.
"That's right. In America, the federal tax was 39.6%. State taxes vary from state to state, from 2% to 13.3%."
"In other words, if I sign a contract in another state. I still have to pay 10% more state tax."
"That's 2.4 million dollars. Converting it to RMB, that would be more than 19 million.”
"If it was in our country, it would be more than 10 million. He could buy two commercial residential buildings in Shanghai.”Zhang Long nodded and bent down to whisper. He looked like he was calculating carefully.
"You're right. 1: Exchange rate of 8."
"Xiaolong. You're the most thoughtful." Little Aunt Zhang Qing's beautiful eyes curved into crescents. Bright Eyes and White Teeth said.
"Aunt. From today onwards, you will be very busy. This is also a small reward for you.”
"My plan will be handled by you. First, he would recruit an Asian lawyer and bodyguard and secretly travel to Madagascar. I want to register an off-shore company called Panda Ventures."
"You're the chairman of the board of directors, and I'm the shareholder.”
"The advantage of registering an offshore company in Namibia is that it is a tax-free paradise. Because the company is exempted from paying taxes, it only needs to keep information to reflect the economic situation.”
"Moreover, he is a local official. Protect the director. The confidentiality of the shareholders 'information. I won't leak it to the outside world."
"Besides, I heard that you only need to rent an office. As the registered address."
"In the New York stock exchange, there are more than half of the world's top 500 companies. They all registered branches and offices in Namibia.”Zhang Long deliberately lowered his voice and held a lace chiffon shirt in his hand to block the salesperson's line of sight.
Aunt Zhang Qing looked at Zhang Long with a serious expression."Xiaolong. It seems like you have a plan."
"Alright then, I'll go all out. I'll rely on you to support me for the rest of my life.”
That night, Zhang Qing packed her luggage. He bought a plane ticket and it would be in five days. He flew to the islands and registered a Panda venture capital fund.
At the same time, Zhang Long's vacation ended. He returned to Rose Garden Arena for internal training.
May 24th, 1996, the third game of the Western Conference finals. The game in G3 would be held at the Blazers 'home stadium. Rose Garden Arena.
There were more than 18000 seats. Many home fans were wearing Zhang Long's number 24 jersey. He held up Zhang Long's paper avatar.
Unfortunately, in this match. The four main players of the Blazers were in the second quarter. Consecutive ankle sprains in the third quarter. Left groin strain. He pulled the hamstring of his right foot. His right hand was fractured.
In this match, all of them were sent off due to injuries.
The starting center, Sabonis, suffered an ankle sprain. The team doctor suggested that they rest for a week.
Zhang Long was a little worried, so he finally remembered. The Blazers were nicknamed " The City of Tear." It was like a lingering nightmare.
Zhang Long had no choice but to lead the four substitutes. Playing basketball on the court.
Two fists couldn't fight four hands, and a hero couldn't fight against many people.
In this match, Zhang Long was surrounded by two players. He only shot 16 times, including 5 out of 7 three-pointers and scored 15 points. He scored 18 points.
Three out of 20 free throws and three points. In total, he had 36 points, 5 rebounded, 1 assist, 4 blocked shots, and 2 turnovers.
The end of the fourth quarter was clearly shown on the scoreboard. Supersonic 83- 66 Blazers. The total score was 1-2, and they had pulled back one city.
At the post-match press conference, Zhang Long was so tired that he collapsed on the table. He looked weak.
One had to know that the head coach, Carlesimo, was the only one. As the main player, Zhang Long did not rest for even a minute. He played the entire game and scored 48 points, taking half of the team's points.
The reporter from the Ore State Weekly asked,""Zhang. Hello, what do you think of this match?”
"Yes... This match. We suffered injuries, a wide range of injuries. I've let down the fans and let them down."
Zhang Long slowly raised his head and looked at the reporters. He took the initiative to take responsibility for the loss.
"No, I don't. This was not entirely Zhang's fault. Zhang's accuracy today was as high as 87.5%.”The head coach, PJ Carlesimo, quickly said. To flatter Zhang Long.
"The fans and the management all saw it.”
"Zhang's personal performance is enough to be called a superstar. He just needed a helper who could share the firepower.”
The head coach, PJ Calessimo, had a serious expression. He said in a deep voice.
"Then may I ask, will you be in the off-season? Do you want to make a deal?"
"Blazers fans, what do you think of Zhang's performance in this game? There was no doubt that one of them could make it to the Western Conference finals. He scored 36 points and only used 16 shots. Extremely high efficiency." The reporter from the Ore State Weekly continued to ask.
"This depends on the management's decision.”
