Chapter 434 Investing
In the middle and late July, the magic capital.

This is the penultimate stop of Qin Fei's trip to Asia. He will spend two days in this key city.

Qin Fei's popularity is very high, and Dayao's success in the NBA did not reduce his popularity at all. On the contrary, this wave of upsurge further promoted his popularity.

Many people now know that there is a very powerful Chinese player in the NBA who is like a superstar.

In the basketball world, Qin Fei is a proper professional.

When Qin Fei arrived in Shanghai, he met many domestic friends.

Among them is Zhao Dongjun, an alumnus from the university period.

Zhao Dongjun developed very well after returning to China. Of course, the excellent conditions at home also gave him a lot of help. He is now involved in many industries, and invested in some projects with Qin Fei before.

Later, Qin Fei introduced Luo Mi to CBA, and Zhao Dongjun also helped Luo Mi find a job.

As a result, Romy joined the Shanxi team, and now he has become the top player of the Shanxi team. Last season, he averaged 26.7 points per game, grabbed 8.3 rebounds and sent 2.5 blocks, playing the same data as a superstar.

After the season, Romy and the Shanxi team completed a two-year contract extension of 2 million yuan.

At that time, this was already a new league record.

"The basketball training camp in Shanghai has been completed, and the first phase of the students has already been signed. In fact, you are fully qualified to apply for a basketball school. Of course, the initiative is still in your hands."

Zhao Dongjun came to see Qin Fei and also brought some staff.

After Qin Fei saw these staff members, he smiled and nodded.

He couldn't name many staff members, but they were indeed his staff.

The basketball training camp co-founded by Zhao Dongjun is called "Qin Fei Basketball Training Base". Its main business is to provide basketball special training services for children aged 10 to 15. In principle, there is one class every month, but in fact it still depends on the number of applicants, and the semester is basically a single month.

"Schools need qualifications, and the training camp base looks more private."

Qin Fei has his own considerations. After all, it is impossible for him to stay in Shanghai forever. In the final analysis, the training camp base is still only named after him.

His ultimate goal is not to earn much money through the training camp, but to promote basketball as a pioneer, tap the potential of some young players, and help them embark on a broader road.

Zhao Dongjun introduced some matters of the base.

This base is located in Changning District of Shanghai.

In 2000, the Shanghai Metro opened two subway lines, Line 1 and Line 2, and Line 3 will not open until the end of the year.

Even Line 2 is only from Zhongshan Park Station to Longyang Road Station, and from Zhongshan Park to the west, the subway has not yet opened.

This area is almost the Changning District area.

During this period, the housing price in this area was less than 3000 yuan, and there was no purchase limit.

Even so, even if Qin Fei is willing to invest, the construction of sports and cultural facilities and equipment is still difficult to approve. Zhao Dongjun was able to help Qin Fei complete the construction of this base, and it took a lot of effort behind it.

"It's actually my own wishful thinking, but if you want to really operate it, you can set up some shopping malls, parks, etc. with themed culture in the surrounding area."

Qin Fei felt like a designer of an urban construction company, talking to Zhao Dongjun over there.

Zhao Dongjun listened quite seriously, looking thoughtful.

"The trial operation of the base is on August 8th, will you come then?"

Zhao Dongjun opened another topic.

As the founder and investor of the basketball training camp, Qin Fei will of course come to the opening ceremony, so he nodded affirmatively: "I will definitely come. I will also use my own methods to promote and expand the influence of the basketball training camp. The ultimate goal is to introduce some foreign training methods and playing concepts, and change some talented students' wrong habits when they are young."

"Do you think domestic players have a lot of bad habits?"

Zhao Dongjun keenly grasped Qin Fei's implication, and said with a smile.

That's not all Qin Fei meant, but since Zhao Dongjun said so, he didn't deny it either.

"Some bad playing habits are very bad. After they grow up and take shape, it is difficult to correct them. To give a simple example, when our domestic players take the ball, do you know what is the first reaction?"

Zhao Dongjun wondered, "What is it?"

"It's dribbling or ball protection."

Qin Fei has the memory of two lifetimes, so he knows the difference too well. He said: "It's not that players are not encouraged to dribble, but the first reaction to take the ball is to dribble or protect the ball. It is not a good habit. The former is easy to make mistakes, and the latter will lead to some good opportunities to be lost directly.

And you know, what is the first reaction of American players, even young people on the street court, when they take the ball? "

Zhao Dongjun then asked, "What is it?"

"It's observing teammates' running positions, three-threats, or actively looking for defensive players to exert physical confrontation on the offensive end." Qin Fei listed some habits, which are the differences he observed.

He said: "Such a habit can help them better understand the situation on the field, neither making themselves passive, but also getting a better chance to attack and defend."

Zhao Dongjun also knows some balls, and he thought about it after hearing it.

But these are too far away from him, he is just one of the investors, not a coach, why listen to this?
In short, he understood what Qin Fei meant. Qin Fei just wanted to buy a promising seed, and wanted to rely on his personal influence to further promote the development of basketball in China.

This is a very lofty ideal, worthy of his respect.

Neither of them spoke. After a while, Qin Fei coughed dryly:
"By the way, how much is the tuition fee for our first-term students?"

Zhao Dongjun:
In late July, the league received heavy trade news.

The Heat and the Hornets have reached a deal.

Pat Riley Stud!
"I hate people mentioning the word stud in front of me the most!"

The Heat fans wept with joy. They didn't expect that McGrady didn't come, and when the deal with the Hornets was about to fail, they suddenly succeeded.

Jones joined the Heat in a sign-and-change manner, and the price of the new contract reached 7 years and 8650 million US dollars.

In fact, Jones also made a certain sacrifice. This contract failed to reach the maximum salary, which was a few million dollars short.

But many fans don't understand, saying that the players have received big contracts of nearly [-] million yuan, so what is a reduction of a few million?
But it was precisely this kind of "drizzle" that finally matched the chips of the two teams.

In the end, the Heat got Jones, Mason, Rick Davis and Ellis from the Hornets.

The Hornets got the Heat's Mashburn, PJ Brown, Thorpe James and Buford.

The protagonists of the transaction are Jones and Mashburn.

The 28-year-old Mashburn also averaged 17.5 points, 5 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1 steal per game in the Heat last season, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 40.3%. In terms of statistics, he is slightly worse than Jones, not much worse.

The most embarrassing thing about him is not that the data in the regular season has declined, but that he was weak in the playoffs after a tough battle, and he couldn't help the Heat go further, so he was traded by the Heat.

Mashburn's trade proved that he was also a fruitless journey in the Heat.

Since the "3J" group was dismantled and he left the Mavericks, he has never reached the height of his time with the Mavericks. Mashburn, who was once considered to have the potential of a superstar, eventually disappeared from everyone.

The Hornets got some good players on the surface, which is not too bad, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the fans.

This blockbuster transaction determined the final ownership of "Jones".

At this time, there are fewer big fish left in the free market, and now only Duncan is left, which has become the focus of the entire free market.

Just as everyone was paying attention to the negotiations between the Spurs and Duncan, the Warriors were also exposed and completed a mid-weight deal.

Caffey is leaving the Warriors, and the Warriors have been touting this titan.

In the end, the Warriors and Cavaliers completed the deal.

The Warriors sent away the team's meritorious small forward Jason Caffey and got the Cavaliers' important scorer Bob Sura.

The magnitude of the transaction itself is not high. It can only be said that because the team being traded is the Warriors, this transaction has received special attention.

Bob Sura is 1 meters tall and serves as a shooting guard and small forward. He was selected with the 96th overall pick in the first round of the 96 draft.

That's right, it was the selected player in front of Qin Fei.

After being selected by the Cavaliers, this player has been playing for the Cavaliers. He is characterized by strong offense and weak defense, and has a certain three-point shooting ability, but he is not particularly stable.

Sura's physical fitness is top-notch among the whites, with excellent jumping and speed, and dunks in the game are not uncommon.

But he is also often troubled by injury factors. He only played 50 games last year and the year before, and his attendance rate was average.

Last season, Sura played for the Cavaliers in average games and averaged a career-high 13.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game. The statistics are very good.

Of course, considering that the Cavaliers have a lot of belly fat all year round, this data may have to be discounted.

But even if it is discounted, Sura's characteristics of being good at scoring points in chaotic battles have been revealed, and it is not a big problem to abuse food in the team's second team.

Caffey's deal came to an end. After the Warriors sent Caffey away, the two players in the regular season lineup last season have disappeared.

Small forward and power forward.

In this way, there will inevitably be a new competition for these two positions. Most of the young players in the team's eyes are brightened, and they feel that they have finally survived to this day, which is very exciting.

In the eyes of the outside world, the combat power of the Warriors has not been greatly affected.

Qin Fei is still terrifyingly strong. The main structure of Blaylock and Da Ben remains unchanged. As for the position of power forward, Jermaine O'Neal can be the starter. Now it is not sure who is the starting small forward.

But it's not a big problem. If there is really no one, Qin Fei can play small forward.

Then Billups shooting guard, or the newcomer Bob Sura playing starting shooting guard, it doesn't matter.

It all depends on how Carlisle will operate at that time, and whether Qin Fei is willing to switch to small forward.

As for Artest and others, they encountered neglect.

Artest is too young, and next season will only be his second season. Although his performance last season was remarkable, most of the time, he showed an image of poor outside shooting and impulsiveness. He will suffer from inexperience in the game.

Therefore, the outside world believes that Artest needs further training before he can play an important role as the starting small forward.

After Kafei was traded, Qin Fei called Kafei.

He likes to communicate with every teammate who left the team. After all, everyone looks up and down, and he is still a player in the league in the future. Although he is traded, his relationship cannot be damaged.

Caffey has also made a lot of contributions to the Warriors in the past season.

Qin Fei thanked Kafei for his contribution, and wished him a high-level and exciting game in his new team.

Kafei was really touched. After being traded, Qin Fei was the first teammate to call him to encourage him.

Later, Ka Fei expressed his respect to Qin Fei in the media interview.

"Qin Fei is an excellent leader. He is the league's superstar and MVP. I respect him very much and think he is unstoppable now, and he is the leader of the league."

The players who left the team praised their former teammates so much, which surprised many media.

They didn't seem to expect that Qin Fei's status in the hearts of the players was so high.

Qin Fei ended his last stop in the capital, and then returned to Los Angeles.

"High School Musical", which has been released for nearly two weeks, has been well received by fans.

Such a novel film has an eye-catching feeling when it is shot.

Moreover, the looks of the male and female protagonists are online, and the plot is compact and not procrastinated, which is very in line with the requirements of commercial films.

More importantly, Qin Fei's wave of publicity made his fans flock to the movie.

Originally, he really came here for Qin Fei, but after watching the movie, he found that the movie was really good, so he gave a lot of good reviews, and word of mouth grew.

Once the word-of-mouth has grown, the box office of the movie will not be bad, and then the major movie theaters will start to tilt their resources for filming.

In the latest week, High School Musical won the No. 2651 box office in North America this weekend with a box office of 1 million US dollars.

At this time, the cumulative box office has reached 5147 million US dollars, and it is still on an upward trend.

Many film evaluation agencies believe that the box office of High School Musical may exceed [-] million in the end, and it will become the first highest-grossing film in the summer.

The success of "High School Musical" made producer Helena officially squeezed into the ranks of outstanding young producers.

Helena told Qin Fei that she was going to set up a film production studio and formally devote herself to the film industry in the form of a studio, striving to make better films.

Of course, Qin Fei strongly supported it. Although he didn't know much about movies, he still remembered many blockbuster movies in his mind.

These are all good medicines to stimulate the current film market, and they are also part of his reasonable investment channels.

His investment here can be regarded as a sound investment, and basically no investment has lost money.

At the beginning of August, Kobe told him that his investment had encountered "Waterloo", which made him feel very distressed and didn't know how to deal with it.

Lost investments have even reached millions of dollars, which is by no means a small sum for Kobe at this stage.
