Chapter 225 [One Belt, One Road, bold prediction]

The 10th was Thursday, the Raptors didn't play, and Yang Rui left Toronto with Stana Katic a day early.

Instead of rushing to a hotel in Oakland for an interview, he made a trip to Silicon Valley to find Thomas Bentley and meet his new agent, John O'Connor.

Thomas took the time to help Yang Rui interview his agent, and finally settled on a middle-aged white man with a sunny smile, a medium build, and looks like a university professor.

In this matter, Thomas insisted on helping Yang Rui call the shots. The selection of an agent must not be sloppy, and an experienced one must be found.Brokers sometimes act as legal advisers or pass the phone, and say what the employer wants to say and is too embarrassed to say.It's good to talk about it, and it won't hurt the peace if it doesn't work.

Racial discrimination is implicit in American society, so it is best to find a white person. In addition, you must be good at investing, be able to speak well, and have a good character.

Yang Rui and John talked for an hour and were very satisfied, and the two sides officially began to cooperate.John's work includes public relations and investment guidance, maintaining Yang Rui's public relations and public image, helping him realize potential value and avoid decision-making mistakes.

John will also infiltrate Yang Rui's life to a certain extent and help him deal with life matters.For example, if he goes to other teams, help him find a place to live, get a car; he is excited and wants to do something stupid, soothe his emotions and so on.

Of course, on Facebook, John has no involvement, no commissions, only basketball.

In the evening, when talking about the company, Thomas was a little depressed and sighed: "I can't raise funds recently. Although there are more and more users, this is not a good time. The listing must be delayed. The IT industry has entered an inflection point."

"I trust your judgment, just let it go."

"Well, I liquidated the stock yesterday." Thomas smiled.

Yang Rui nodded. He was also afraid that Thomas would hold the stock and not sell it. The two chatted with Minions. This week, Yahoo's stock price has reached 120 yuan, hitting a record high.

The famous Internet bubble is about to burst, which will lead to the decline of US stocks and the Belt and Road Initiative.

This period was marked by the founding of a group of Internet companies often referred to as "COMs" that failed for the most part in their final investment.The combination of soaring stock prices and buyer hype, as well as the widespread use of venture capital, has created a hotbed for these companies to ditch the standard business model and push the bottom line of traditional models to focus on how to increase market share.

Yang Rui does not know when the bubble will burst, but it must be not far away. After that, 2000-2002 was the stage of the US stock market crash.

A loud 911/2001 will make the U.S. stock market on Tuesday stop for four days in [-]. When the market opens on Monday, the market without the limit-down protection is like Sean Bean in the movie, hanging without any suspense.

The Dow plummeted by more than 800 points in one day, and has since dropped to a minimum of more than 7000 points.During the period, interest rates were cut nearly ten times, until there was no bargaining chip available, and it was impossible to save the two cities from falling into the abyss.

Therefore, if Facebook wants to raise funds and go public, it will have to wait after 2002, otherwise it will be called abuse.

On Friday, All-Star Weekend begins.

Yang Rui was received in Oakland, checked into the arranged hotel, and accepted interviews with the media from various countries with the players. After the shutdown, the ratings of the NBA dropped a lot, but it is still recognized as the strongest basketball league on the planet, attracting a large number of The media arrived in Oakland.

Among them, China's CCTV5 naturally. Wang Zhizhi was not able to join immediately after being selected by the Mavericks. He continued to fight in the Chinese CBA. Yang Rui became the most concerned person in the domestic media.

The Chinese female reporter mentioned Yao's name. "Jerry, there were rumors before that the 76ers coach Larry Brown said that as long as Yao Ming joins the NBA, he will use 4 years to make him a talent. What do you think?"

"This news is too fake." Yang Rui said deliberately and seriously.

The female reporter thought he was not optimistic, and was a little disappointed, but Yang Rui showed a "you've been tricked" smile again: "Does it take so long for Yao Ming to become a talent? I will take him to the championship in one year, but if he Going into the draft, it’s definitely a top five pick, it’s hard to get on my team.”

The female reporter and cameraman sweated wildly and felt much more comfortable. "Are you so optimistic about him?"

"Well, I'm not kidding, I believe that Yao Ming will definitely be able to play in the NBA and become a star because of his amazing talent." Yang Rui smiled and said, "For a center as tall as him, who can run flexibly and shoot, he should It's a national treasure."

Yang Rui did not hesitate to praise Yao Ming. This kind of god who was 1.4 meters tall in kindergarten and never enjoyed free children's tickets, is talent just a joke?Now Yao Ming has played super data in the CBA.

The female reporter asked, "Would you like to coach him?"

"Of course I do, but this is not something that can be decided unilaterally. I hope there will be a chance in the future." Yang Rui's remarks can attract more attention to Yao Ming and win the favor of Chinese fans.

Although Yao Ming's speed is not fast, his role on offense and defense is still obvious. He is the only superstar in Chinese basketball history.Yang Rui made a bold prediction, and when Yao Ming came, people would definitely admire his vision.

American reporters interviewed Yang Rui, more concerned about the regular season. "Do you think the Raptors can break the Bulls' 72-10 record this season?"

"I hope so. The mentality of the players is the key, and we have to play to our strengths in every game. In the face of such a great record, it's hard for everyone to keep a calm mind."

The reporter asked: "Do you think Carter can be elected as the regular season MVP this season?"

Yang Rui smiled and said: "Yes, he is strong and selfless, very efficient, and will help the team win. We are the team with the best record, and he is the core."

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Lakers had the best record in the league, and O'Neal won the only regular season MVP in his career.

When Carter is elected, many fans will doubt it, so Yang Rui will help him canvass for votes when he has the opportunity, so that fans can understand that in addition to data, record is also an important criterion for evaluation.

Both of them are the stars of the league. Carter's only advantage is the record. O'Neal's data is too unbelievable, and many of them are in the forefront of the league.

He ranks first in efficiency with 30+, first in field goals, second in field goal percentage, first in scoring, second in rebounding, and third in blocks. Currently, he is 29.7 points, 13.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 3 blocks. Humanity.

The reporter asked: "Carter and McGrady are both participating in the dunk contest. Who do you predict will win the championship?"

"Carter will definitely win. He has no opponents in dunking. I also helped him design two wonderful dunks, and everyone can see it."

The reporter asked: "Do you have the confidence to lead the Eastern Conference to defeat the opponent in this All-Star Game?"

"I can guarantee that the East will win. I'm very excited to coach so many stars at once. I can't wait to go to practice with Iverson, Hill, Ray Allen. Not only will the East win , and you will win beautifully!"

There are many big men in the western army, and the movement speed is not fast. Yang Rui is going to fight the combination of running and bombing. I believe that this group of perimeter stars who can shoot and shoot will not disappoint him.

After the interview, Yang Rui and his friends went to the local star party to relax, and the event will officially start tomorrow.
