Chapter 654 Forbes Rich List + End of Regular Season

On February 2st, the media suddenly broke the news that Wang Tiejun will enter the top 1 Forbes rich list, his assets will exceed 30 billion US dollars, and he will be ranked third in the Forbes sports annual income list, second only to Tiger Woods and car king Michael Schumacher.

This news shocked countless people.

"I only have $30 billion left?"

He himself was a little shocked. Could it be that the second sister lost all his money last year?Quickly picked up the phone to call the second sister.

"Do not fight!"

Brother Fei hurriedly stopped him, gave him a blank look, and said, "You forgot, the second sister has long hidden the main assets for you, and those assets are not recorded in your personal name. Even the K Times Club, there is only 5% of the shares in your name on the surface. Other assets Forbes can't investigate. What can be investigated is probably part of the assets of Fengshen Street, and a small amount of shares in several companies that are on the surface.

I guess this time Forbes found out that your main asset is Fengshen Street. The land price in the capital has risen too much, and the fixed assets of Fengshen Street have appreciated many times. This cannot be hidden, otherwise you would not be able to enter the top [-]. "

"Let me just say, Second Sister is so good in business, how can she lose my money?" He breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's not good. The second sister mainly invests in high-tech projects. She has said that if she invests in a hundred high-tech projects, one of them can make money." Brother Fei laughed.

When Lao Wang was stunned, he felt that his little money was about to grow wings.

"I don't understand why the second sister likes to invest in high technology so much?" He said helplessly.

"She said that if the country does not develop high-tech and core technology, it will have no future, and it will not be able to control its own destiny in the future. In the process of globalization, we can only become the world's processing factory with cheap labor, don't you remember?"

"Forget it, I don't understand this, so you can do what the second sister does."

Not long after, a large number of calls from media reporters came in, and he was so annoyed that he unplugged the phone line at home.

When he went out at noon, he was blocked by a large number of reporters outside the community, so he had to accept media interviews.

"Old K, why did you accumulate so much wealth in just 12 years, is there any secret?"

"Luck, I invest pure luck."

Old Wang can only talk nonsense. He doesn't know which of his assets Forbes has found, and he dare not go into too much detail.

On February 2, the Suns defeated the Mavericks at home and got a record of 17 wins and 39 losses.

However, the Blazers' performance is also very strong, with a record of 40 wins and 14 losses, still leading the Suns by one game.

The third is still the Spurs, with a record of 36 wins and 18.

In the East, the Knicks are first with 38 wins and 16 losses, the Heat are second with 37 wins and 17 losses, and the Pistons are third.

Vince Carter returned from injury, and the Nets' strength improved. They originally fell behind the Pacers, but now they are back to fourth in the Eastern Conference.

Starting on the 18th, the league has entered the All-Star Weekend.

Eastern All-Star starters: O'Neal, Grant Hill, LeBron James, Vince Carter, Iverson.

Eastern All-Star Subs: Yao Min, Wade, Paul Pierce, Arenas, Amare Stoudemire, Marion, Nash.

Western All-Star starting: Wang Tiejun, Duncan, Garnett, Kobe, Tracy McGrady.

Western All-Star bench: Gasol, Nowitzki, Carmelo Anthony, Ray Allen, Ginobili, Rashad Lewis, Mike Bibby.

On the 18th, Lao Wang was selected as the All-Star of the Suns alone. On this day, he flew to Denver alone and arrived at the airport at noon.

He was surrounded by a group of fans and reporters at the airport for almost an hour.

"Old K, the number of votes for this year's All-Star is approaching [-] million. Your influence has spread to the whole world. Do you have anything to say to your fans?"

"Thank you to everyone who supported me..." Lao Wang immediately said a lot of words of thanks.

"Old K, after Nash, Stoudemire, and Marion left you, they were all selected as All-Stars this time. What do you want to say about this?"

"bless them."

"Do you think they made the right choice?"

"I have answered similar questions a long time ago, and this is the last answer. Regarding their departure, it is the same as Kidd's departure back then. My usual attitude is to support them."

When he came outside the hotel, he was surrounded by reporters again. He got off the plane at 11:[-], and he was able to enter the hotel when it was almost [-]:[-].

As soon as he went up to the floor where the All-Stars lived, Kobe Bryant, Yao Nash, Marion Stoudemire and a large group of them came over, and the room was soon full of people.

After putting away his luggage, he had time to ask, "Have you had lunch yet?"

"Brother, we can't wait for you, we have already eaten." Dayao laughed.

"Forget it, it's dinner soon. I'm going to drink afternoon tea and fill my stomach first. Do you want to come?" He asked.

"Old K's treat, everyone go together." Someone shouted.

"OK, I'm treating you." Old Wang laughed.

"Where are you guys going?"

Arenas heard the movement outside the room and hurried out to ask.

"Old K treats guests to afternoon tea, do you want to join us?" Stoudemire asked with a smile.

"of course."

Arenas quickly pulled into the room and followed the crowd.

"Let's go too."

Anthony also heard the movement and called LeBron James again.

Not to be outdone, O'Neill and others followed suit one after another.

When Lao Wang and his group came to the front of the elevator, there were many more people behind him. He took a look, including the rookies in the first and second grades, there were at least 40 people, except for a few, almost all of them came.

When we arrived at the restaurant, Lao Wang asked for some snacks and a pot of coffee, while others asked for coffee and tea.

Although coffee is the main drink in the United States, there are also a lot of people who drink tea. Last year, the United States imported [-] million US dollars of tea from China, and K Times Trading Company also has some tea business.

"Old K."

Buckley's voice sounded, Lao Wang put down his coffee cup and looked up, and the Flying Pig trotted in from outside.

"Sit." Old Wang motioned.

Dayao and the others who were sitting with him hurriedly got up and pulled the chairs, and a seat was vacated beside him, and a waiter brought a chair over.

"Thank you!"

"Old K, I asked you to help me buy a street in BJ, but you quit, how much is your street worth now? You eat alone, and now you have to compensate me."

After sitting down, Barkley complained.

Old Wang said angrily: "You idiot, the capital of our country, how could you allow a foreigner to buy a street? Besides, when did you ask me to buy a street for you?"

"I obviously said it," Barkley yelled.

"No."

"Anyway, you have to make it up to me."

"Stop it."

Old Wang rolled his eyes and asked, "Charles, do you want to get rich?"

"You have another way? Tell me!" Barkley was stunned and said excitedly.

At this moment, a large number of eyes shot over, staring at Old Wang.

"Don't say it here, let's go, go to your room, we won't make them rich." Barkley got up quickly, and wanted to pull Lao Wang.

"This damn fat man!" O'Neal and a group of people scolded one after another.

Old Wang opened Buckley's fat hand and said with a smile: "Charles, let me tell you that there are countless high-tech projects in Silicon Valley waiting for your investment. As long as you stand on the street with a check, there will be a lot of people who need funds to flock to you. Do you know how to make a fortune now?"

Everyone stayed.

"Old K, you have turned bad now, and you actually want to cheat me?" Barkley said angrily.

Pharaoh laughed, and said angrily, "Stop being greedy. Each of you in the trading company gets at least tens of millions of dollars in dividends a year. Isn't that enough?"

"Brother, I haven't yet." Dayao said quickly.

Lao Wang said helplessly: "Who made you miss it, or else everyone will dilute the shares?"

"I don't agree!" Barkley shouted hastily.

"That won't work." Kobe also shook his head quickly.

"Look, when it comes to money, this is their true face. You can call them iron cocks." Lao Wang pointed at Kobe and the others.

Dayao smiled, he was just joking, he also has a team and has done a lot of business.

Barkley and the others didn't dare to talk about investment anymore, or if old K really came to dilute the shares, it would be troublesome.

They bought shares in Old K's trading company based on their friendship. If they really annoyed Old K, Old K wanted to kick them out.

Lao Wang also smiled, and didn't mention the investment again.

In fact, the K-era trading company that Buckley and the others invested in had long since ceased to be the main channel for their royal family's import and export trade business. Otherwise, with 1000% of the shares, it would be impossible to only have a dividend of [-] million US dollars a year.

After opening up business routes in the United States, his second sister set up several other import and export international trading companies as early as the second year after establishing this company. This trading company only accounted for [-]% of the business at most.

On the 19th, Pharaoh and other all-stars began to cooperate with the official to carry out some activities, simply put it as a show.

In the evening, the rookie game started, and Anthony beat James and won the MVP.

On the 20th, the All-Star Game, the Eastern All-Stars won in the end, and Iverson won the second All-Star AMVP in his career.

After the All-Star break, the regular season continues.

Under Lao Wang's suggestion, the Suns gave a lot of opportunities to a few rookies and young people. His time has been maintained at 10 minutes.

The main reason is that the strength of the teams behind the Spurs has not improved. The Suns lost, and the teams behind also lost. He feels that the overall strength of the Eastern Conference this season is stronger than that of the Western Conference.

At the end of March, the Blazers suffered serious injuries.

Zach Randolph has been suffering from injuries this season, mainly due to knee injuries, and the injuries have stopped. This time, he tore the cruciate ligament in his left knee and was reimbursed for the season. The recovery time is at least two months, and it will take some time for joint rehabilitation. Even if the Blazers can reach the finals, he will not be able to catch up.

This news is a huge blow to the Blazers, their strength has been greatly damaged, and their chances of winning the championship have been greatly reduced.

But for teams like the Suns, it is a good thing.

Time came to April, on the 4th, Forbes released last year's major rankings.

As previously reported by the media, Comrade Wang has indeed become the 35th richest person in the world with assets of US$198 billion.

Forbes announced his main assets, the first is the Fengshen Street Sports Center, with a valuation of up to 10 billion U.S. dollars, and a small amount of equity in several other companies on the bright side add up to 25 billion U.S. dollars, plus some cash.

At the same time, he is also No. 3 in the sports celebrity list, with an annual income of 1.2 million U.S. dollars last year.

Forget about these two lists, Forbes also released two China*China lists, both of which Lao Wang ranked first.

The first list is the list of the richest people in China. Lao Wang ranks first, and the second is Rong Zhijian, with 16 billion US dollars. This is a real rich family in China, only half of his.

But with his current knowledge, he must know that this asset is just an iceberg floating on the water of the Rong family, and he is definitely not the only one hiding assets.

The third is a family surnamed Zhu, which he has never heard of, the fourth is Ding Lei, and the fifth is Huang Guangyu.

This list does not count Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, that is to say, he has become the richest person in Mainland China.

In addition, Forbes also updated the China Celebrity List, Lao Wang also ranked first, Dayao second, with an annual income of 1.5 million yuan, Zhang Ziyi third, with an annual income of 3500 million yuan, Liu Xiang fourth, 2300 million yuan, Wang Fei fifth, 2200 million yuan, Zhao sixth, 1500 million yuan.

Lao Wang deliberately took a look at the Chinese celebrity list. Except for him, Dayao, and Liu Xiang, everyone else was basically a star in the entertainment industry. There were only two sports stars behind, Tian Liang and Guo Jingjing ranked 16th and 17th.

"Sissi ranks 25th, with an income of 890 million last year." Fei Ge said.

"It's less than 1000 million, and it's still RMB. You can't do it!" He teased.

"The girl is still young, only 17 years old, what's the hurry?"

Brother Fei shook his head, and said again: "I will give Dabao and Erbao 5% of Feige's shares each week, let the girl take 1000 million, and give her 5% of the shares. The procedures have been completed. It will be listed in July. At least several times, I am not a godmother for nothing."

"No, I still have too many assets, and the tree attracts the wind."

Lao Wang muttered, took out his mobile phone and dialed, and said, "Second sister, if you help me lose weight again, this asset is too much. I'm just a basketball player, and I actually became the richest man. How can I do that?"

"Fengshen Street is there. It is impossible for you to give up all the shares in those companies in the K era. How can you hide these assets? Don't worry, our country's economy is developing rapidly, especially the Internet economy has developed rapidly in the past few years. Wangyi and Sohu are both listed on Wall Street. Maybe someone will surpass you in the next year or so. Your little money will not be conspicuous in the future."

"Then I'll hire more bodyguards."

……

On April 4th, the last regular season game of the Suns, they challenged the Kings away.

As a result, eight of the Kings scored in double figures, and the overall shooting percentage was as high as 8%. With an efficient and average offense, the Suns' defense collapsed.

Although Lao Wang has an absolute advantage in the interior, but the king is too accurate outside, and this game has no meaning for the Suns. He was replaced after only two quarters, and other teammates were unwilling to fight, resulting in a big defeat.

At the end of the regular season, the Suns had 58 wins and 24 losses, and did not get [-] wins.

The only team in the West with 62 wins is the Trail Blazers, with 20 wins and [-] losses.

In the East, the Knicks broke new ground with running and bombing, 62 wins and 20 losses like the Trail Blazers. The only team in the East with [-] wins, but lost both home and away to the Trail Blazers, so it is second in the league.

The top eight in the Western Conference during the regular season are the Trail Blazers, Suns, Spurs, Supersonics, Mavericks, Mosaics, Kings, and Nuggets.

The top three are the champions of the three western divisions, so this is also the ranking of the playoffs.

The top eight in the Eastern Conference during the regular season are the Knicks, Heat, Pistons, Nets, Bulls, Celtics, Wizards, and Pacers.

The top three are the champions of the Eastern Conference for three seasons, so this is also the ranking of the playoffs.

Lao Wang analyzed the winning percentages of the teams in the East and West, and felt that the West is still slightly stronger, but not much stronger.

Only one team has 49 wins, only the Heat and Pistons have [-] wins in the East, the Nets have only [-] wins, and the West is similar.

With the end of the regular season, the first round of the playoffs is also officially released.

The first round of the Western Conference: Trail Blazers vs. Nuggets, SuperSonics vs. Mavericks, Suns vs. Kings, Spurs vs. Mosaics.

Eastern Conference first round: Knicks vs. Pacers, Nets vs. Bulls, Heat vs. Wizards, Pistons vs. Celtics.

The winners of the two (last) groups will face off in the second round.

老王拿到了他这个赛季的数据，场均32分钟，32.5分15篮板7.5助攻1.5抢断3.8盖帽1.3失误2.8犯规。

Points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, all five statistics are the first of the Suns.

The field goal percentage is 63.2%, the first in the league, and the second is O'Neal's 60.1%, which is 3 percentage points lower than him.

No way, although he didn't want to win the stats champion, he still won the 8th career scoring and rebounding champion, and the 5th blocking champion.

The assist king was won by Nash, averaging 11.6 times per game.

The steals leader is Larry Hughes, averaging 2.9 times per game.

The first round of the playoffs started on the 23rd, and on the 21st, the league announced a series of individual honors.

In addition to the five data kings, the best rookie was won by Okafor, the DPOY was won by Ben Wallace, the best sixth man was won by Ben Gordon, the most improved player was won by Bobby Simmons, and the best coach was won by Jeff Van Gundy.

At the same time, the league announced that the MVP winner will be announced after the first round, and the best team will be announced after the second round.

Seeing that Van Gundy won the best coach, D'Antoni was more or less dissatisfied. He thought he would win the best coach. If he won this honor for two consecutive years, he would become a real coach in the league and his reputation would greatly increase.

He believes that Jeff Van Gundy relied on the old K to achieve the second record in the Western Conference. It is far less difficult than leading a group of Knicks to achieve the first record in the Eastern Conference.

"Jeff, congratulations!"

"Oh, haha, old K, this season is amazing, haha... By the way, I also want to congratulate you, you have won three more statistics. With the current attitude of the league towards you, you have hope for this season's MVP again."

"MVP? I don't care too much. Maybe the selected media people are tired of me."

"No, no, everyone knows that God is the one who decides everything."

Lao Wang called to congratulate him, and Xiao Fan was so happy that he couldn't speak easily.
