The Fifth Point Guard

Chapter 399 The Wizard General (Part 1)

As the founder of Shen Fund, Shen Tong personally contributed 50 million US dollars as the start-up capital of the fund the day after he proposed the idea.

This is almost all of Shentong's net worth, including the salary and agency fees received by playing in the NBA, of which endorsement fees account for the bulk.

Shentong's crazy approach made Falcao feel unbelievable, but when Shentong proposed that the management fee of the fund increased with the size of the fund, Falcao immediately felt that Shentong's investment was very reasonable.

Big investment will pay off big returns.

And as a young man, I just want to do something that others dare not do, at worst, make everything zero and start all over again.

But Shen Tong knew that his money would definitely not go down the drain.

Under the instruction of Shentong and the operation of David Falcao, the money was quickly distributed in the Internet circles in China.

In 2003, it was a cold winter for China's Internet industry.

SARS put companies such as Taobao, Tencent, JD.com into trouble.

These companies at that time were far from being as well-known as they are now. Even Ma Yun and his colleagues did not know whether Taobao could survive this year.

Compared with the previous time and space, this SARS came later than before, and lasted until the end of the year, before showing any signs of easing.

At this time, the capital chain of many Internet companies has already experienced problems.

While most banks were still hesitating, Shen Fund, which suddenly appeared from across the ocean, became a mysterious capital force.

Unlike most investment funds that like icing on the cake, this fund is specially here to help.

And the requirement of this fund is one, the exchange of funds for shares.

At that time, Brother Qiangdong from JD.com laughed so hard that his mouth was almost crooked.

At that time, Jingdong was only worth a few dollars, and someone was willing to exchange real money for shares. Of course, Brother Qiangdong would not miss this deal, and signed the contract while drinking milk tea.

As for companies such as Taobao and Tencent, under the operation of Falcao, they accepted "hot money" that was almost impossible to refuse.

In less than half a year, Shentong became a minority shareholder of several top Internet companies in China.

Of course, this is something.

In addition, in addition to these few Internet companies in the cold winter, Shentong also deliberately invested in a Chinese technology company that was abandoned by Motorola-Huawei.

In 2003, it was reported that Huawei would reach an agreement with the US telecommunications company Motorola, which would acquire Huawei for US$7.5 billion.

But after Motorola's high-level decision, they rejected the plan to acquire Huawei.

Huawei, which was abandoned by Motorola, is also facing the problem of capital chain.

At this time, Shen Fund played the role of savior again, and an investment of 20 million US dollars was directly transferred to Huawei's account.

Moreover, Shen Fund also stated that it will invest 10 million U.S. dollars every year for five consecutive years to help Huawei develop its mobile phone business.

At this moment, Huawei's mobile phone business has just begun.

Even in July 2003, their mobile phone business department was officially established.

At this time, Shentong dared to invest such a large amount of money, and this courage alone was enough to give Falcao a thumbs up.

However, admiration is all admiration, and Falcao still feels that Shentong's investment is too risky.

Facing the ridicule of fund managers in the same industry and the media's bewilderment, Shentong just smiled lightly and let it go.

I don’t even understand it when I explain it to you, but one day you will understand.

Others laugh at me for being crazy, but I laugh at others for not being able to see through.

After discussing with Falcao some details of the Shen Fund and the Apple endorsement contract, Shentong could finally sleep soundly.

The next morning, the Cavaliers practiced early.

After training, James went to the weight room for extra training.

According to strength coach Steve Spiro's records, James has surpassed insider Carlos Boozer in terms of strength.

This is not surprising to Shentong.

He has long known that James' physical fitness is second to none in the entire league.

Even if he is riding a person, he can push to the basket and score the ball.

Shen Tong practiced extra large two-pointers on the court.

This kind of large two-pointer is actually more difficult to practice than a three-pointer.

After all, the three-point line is dead, and it is easy to form muscle memory if you shoot too much.

In the history of the NBA, there have been many players who shot very accurately from beyond the three-point line, but two-pointers are not as good as three-pointers.

Shen Tong's training is to keep himself from attacking blind spots on the entire court.

Under the leadership of Shen Tong and James, most of the other Cavaliers players also took the initiative to stay and practice.

Just when Shentong made the 500th ball and took a break, he saw the French power forward Michael Stewart sitting next to him staring at his mobile phone with a sad face.

"Hey, Michael, why do you look sad? What happened?" Shen Tong asked proactively.

Stuart sighed, and said, "I didn't expect that after eight years, I would actually drink and chase after you."

Ok? Drunk driving rear-end?

"As long as you're okay, it seems that you are private?" Shen Tong asked.

Stuart shook his head, and replied: "It seems like a month ago, I drank too much, then rear-ended a girl, and hit my ass directly."

STO: (ΩДΩ)

Dare this be a story?

"At that time, I didn't know if I didn't step on the brakes, or I couldn't stop. Anyway, it was plugged in at a high speed. It was because of this that I received a call from this girl just now."

what's the situation?

"She said she was pregnant"

Stuart put his hands on his forehead, looking a little distressed.

"Damn it." Shen Tong blurted out after hearing this, and said, "You are not rear-ending, you are repeatedly crushing, otherwise how would you kill someone?"

Stuart raised his head slowly.

"So, what are you going to do?"

Stuart sighed, and said: "I am 28 years old, and I am not too young, but I only get a basic salary in this league. I don't know if I can give her and the child a better life. In any case, I will take responsibility."

Stewart stood up from the bench and said, "I'll go to practice more. For the sake of my children, I have to strive for a good performance and get a contract with a higher salary next year."

After speaking, Stewart walked onto the court and started shooting extra practice.

For some reason, the back of this French insider who can only sit at the end of the bench is so tall at the moment.

After successive battles with the Lakers and Timberwolves, the Cavaliers finally ushered in an easier opponent, the Washington Wizards.

However, although the Wizards have an average record, this team is a very neurotic team. When playing well, even the steady Spurs can be pulled out, but when playing poorly, they will also lose to the Los Angeles Clippers, who are at the bottom of the league. .

Among the Wizards, there are familiar faces from Shentong.

Hengdao immediately general, Gilbert Arenas.

In this game, he will take the outside Musketeers to an away game against Shentong's Cavaliers.
