Chapter 330
It was only after meeting Li Ke that Emma Roberts couldn't scratch his face.
Because of the height difference, he only needs to spread his "long" arms to separate the opponent, and the opponent's short legs and short hands cannot touch him at all.
Emma Roberts pretended to be fierce for a while, forcing Li Ke to apologize.
Li Ke followed suit and apologized.
When Emma Roberts asked him why he left without saying goodbye, Li Ke also told the truth.
"I don't know who sent me to the hotel, but I know that she watched the finals between me and the Lakers. Uh, I beat up Andrew Bynum in that game. Therefore, a female fan who watched the finals at Staples, there is a high probability that she is a Lakers fan. She sent me drunk and unconscious to the hotel..."
"You mean to say that she's plotting something wrong?"
"Yes, I'm afraid..."
Li Ke nodded, and Emma Roberts told Li Ke coldly: "Listen, first of all, I'm not a Lakers fan, and second..."
"That was the Staples Finals. If you are not a Lakers fan, would you spend so much money to watch a game where the Lakers are about to win the championship?"
Li Ke interrupted Emma Roberts very forcefully. Emma Roberts frowned and could only explain:
"I'm from New York, so, I'm a Knicks fan."
"New Yorkers must be Knicks fans? You have to prove that you are a Knicks fan..."
Li Ke discovered that the routine of issuing certificates by domestic government units in his previous life was really easy to use. In just a few words, Emma Roberts was already taking a deep breath.
After a moment of silence, Li Ke began to spread his hands and turned his head to leave.
Emma Roberts suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Ke. With the great strength of her small body, she pulled Li Ke towards a direction that Li Ke was not familiar with.
"Wait, where are you taking me?"
Although the small hand was wrapped around the big hand and it was very slippery, Li Ke stopped and pulled away his right hand.
Emma Roberts turned her head: "Don't you want to prove it? Come home with me, and you will know why I am a Knicks fan."
Come back home?
Denzel Washington, who was standing not far away, opened his mouth wide. He decided not to spoil Li Ke's good deeds, and stopped where he was.
"Okay, okay, I believe you, you are a Knicks fan."
"Ok, let's move on."
"Secondly..."
"and many more!"
Li Ke interrupted Emma Roberts again, and the other party was already a little angry.
Emma Roberts stared at Li Ke angrily, but Li Ke said slowly, "As a Charlotte Bobcats player, I don't think I should communicate too much with fans of rivals in the same district."
After waving his hands and turning his head, Li Ke saw Denzel Washington, stretching his "long" arms from a distance, seemingly enthusiastically wanting to hug the Hollywood actor.
Behind, Emma Roberts stared wide-eyed.
"Shouldn't communicate too much with fans of rivals in the same district, but warmly embrace fans of rivals in the finals?"
……
Li Ke got rid of that pestering little girl as he wished, and turned to communicate with Denzel Washington, but he was still teased.
"I didn't expect, Sheldon, you actually got together with the little princess of the Roberts family?"
Li Ke could only raise his hands: "Don't get me wrong, Denzel, I don't even know the little princess of the Roberts family."
"Yes, yes, you don't know..."
Denzel Washington satirized for a while, and then took out the script: "Let's talk about this movie again, what do you think?"
"not bad."
"Are you interested in acting?"
"no!"
Li Ke resolutely refused. Although he will be suspended for 18 games in the new season, he is still very busy. From Los Angeles to the World Championships in Turkey this summer, to the process of going around for money in the off-season, and the Sheldon training camp after returning, he didn't have much time to rest in one summer.
Therefore, Li Ke has long decided to treat the 18-game suspension as his vacation time.
There must be no time for acting in movies or something.
"I knew it……"
Denzel Washington grumbled, and then asked, "Then do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"
Li Ke scratched his head, the next second: "How is Kevin Durant?"
Denzel Washington's eyes also brightened. In the NBA last season, the most eye-catching rookie was Xiao Du.
Umm, the reason for not adding one is that Denzel Washington thinks that Li Ke is not a newcomer.
"Would he like to play?"
"I'll call and ask."
Li Ke made a phone call in front of Denzel Washington, and as expected——
"Making a movie? Or starring? Denzel Washington is the producer, no, no, no, it doesn't matter who the producer is, what matters is who the heroine is, and the supporting actress..."
Li Ke turned on the speakerphone, and he looked up at Denzel Washington with questioning eyes.
The other party shook his head, and Li Ke's heart sank.
"A basketball-themed movie doesn't have a heroine."
"Uh... well, it just occurred to me that I'm busy this summer..."
"and many more!"
Denzel Washington was in a hurry, "Tell him, you can have a heroine!"
It's not that the script can't be changed, and it's easy to add a heroine who doesn't have much role in the show.
"Yes, there is a heroine!"
The phone didn't hang up, it was just silent for a moment.
"Well, is there a passion scene?"
This time, Li Ke also understood, he didn't care about 21, he lied to him first, and he didn't wait for Denzel Washington to confirm, so he told Xiao Du: "Yes!"
Denzel Washington shook his head frantically, and Li Ke could only hold his hands on the phone's microphone: "Denzel, you can have this!"
"Well, there can be..."
On the other side of the phone, Xiao Du asked meanly: "Who is the heroine? I hope it's Scarlett Johansson..."
Is it Scarlett at this time?Li Ke had a lot of question marks, but he still told Xiao Du: "The heroine has not been decided yet. If you are interested, you can sign the film contract first, and then participate in the interview of the heroine."
"is it okay?"
"of course can!"
After coaxing and deceiving, Li Ke tricked Xiao Du into coming.
After hanging up the phone, he had to convince Denzel Washington: "All of these are available!"
……
In this basketball movie called "Same Field Showdown", Xiao Du was confirmed as the leading actor. Li Ke did not invest real money, but because of his creativity, he also accounted for some of the investment.
He roughly calculated: "If the box office sells well, you should be able to share a hundred thousand dollars?"
Talking is better than nothing...
After dealing with these two matters in the Hollywood circle, Li Ke called Lao Lu again to negotiate the acquisition of WeChat. In the middle, he also brought in Amazon to raise the price. After arguing, the sale of WeChat was resolved.
Li Ke does not hold 100% of WeChat, which already has a high market share. At the beginning of its establishment, he gave Lao Lu and the technical team a total of 10% of the shares.
Later, some outside investment was also accepted, and Li Ke's shareholding also dropped to about [-]% after several investments.
This time, Lao Lu, who owns 5% of the shares, did not participate in the sale, and Li Ke did not sell all of them. He also kept about 5%.
The rest were sold to Google and the consortium led by it in one go.
Citibank's account instantly credited more than 180 billion US dollars, because it borrowed the shell of an offshore company, and according to the laws and regulations of the United States, Li Ke did not have to pay taxes.
"A wave of fat, this ball, are you still playing?"
Li Ke made a joke to himself. Although he sold an asset whose future value was several times that, Li Ke didn't feel it was a pity.
Some money is not what he can earn if he wants to earn it.
With only an initial investment of 300 million US dollars, he has received nearly 200 billion US dollars in accounts, and he is already very satisfied.
And he didn't sell all of it, he kept 5%, and after many years, it should still be worth tens of billions of dollars.
Unless, Google crashes WeChat...
Of course, such a large amount of money cannot be left lying in the bank account.
Li Ke allocated a large part and handed it over to Lao Lu for investment and financial management.
……
Next, less than two months before the World Championships, the Sheldon training camp opened in a basketball gym in Long Beach.
Compared with last season, Shelton's training camp has more personnel.
In the Bobcats, Curry, Wesley Matthews, Tajibson, Tucker, and Jordan were not absent, and Livingston and Dai Quinn Cook were added.
On the side of the Thunder, Xiao Du was absent, but Da Lola joined Xiao Luo, Gerald Henderson, and rookie Ibaka.
On the side of the Pistons, Serena Williams, who was alone last year, also brought in British star Ben Gordon this year.
On the Nets side, Giba is still alone.
In addition, Dasheng and UAE, who don't have to go to the national team this year, and James Harden who came uninvited.
Isn't there more to this person?
With a larger number of Sheldon training camps, Tim Graver's task is even heavier.
So this time, Li Ke also adopted the method of charging, and each person paid about 10 US dollars. Except for the rent of the arena, the rest was paid to Tim Graver.
The training camp was very hot, but Li Ke felt that the training camp was becoming more and more like a big party, and his improvement was negligible.
This summer's training, at the beginning, he still did not join the group, but practiced alone.
In the half of the field he occupied, he kept moving laterally, as if he was assisting with an opponent's defense.
After practicing for a while, I stopped.
Entering the system space, staring at the skill called "Gerald Wallace's Assist Defense", scratching his head.
"Assist in defending this thing, solo practice is still not enough, you have to join a group."
That's right, after Staples became the second child in a rage that day, Hua's second child's friendship, which had been stuck at the edge of 80, broke.
As a result, Li Ke got a chance to copy. Among the skills of Hua's second son who overlapped with his own but were not as good as his own, he found the only auxiliary defense that greatly improved him, and just copied it.
The help defense is A-level, but in the hands of Li Ke, it was weakened to C-level due to the gap in proficiency.
Li Ke is preparing to use the time before the start of the World Championships to raise it to A level.
Due to time constraints, Li Ke joined the group a few days after the training camp started.
……
Before the draft, the entire NBA was full of rumors.
First, someone broke out: The Cavaliers wanted to get rid of Jamison, Richard Hamilton, and even Mo's big contract. The purpose was to sign Wade and Bosh without a visa in the subsequent free market, and James returned to form the Big Three.
Some people believe this rumor and some people don't believe it. David Kahn, the second stupid general manager of the Timberwolves, didn't believe it at first, but he later believed it.
The reason is that Danny Ferry called him every three days, the purpose is to exchange the air of Minnesota with Richard Hamilton and Jamison.
The Timberwolves have plenty of salary space, and it is easy to swallow these two tens of millions of contracts.
David Kahn, who got in touch with the rumor, figured it out, and opened his mouth to ask for a first round.
For the Cavaliers, after forming the Big Three, the first round is not very valuable, and it is possible to get out.
But in Danny Ferry's view, Richard Hamilton was out of the first round when he signed Richard Hamilton's contract.
In addition, he also felt that after bargaining, there shouldn't be a first round.
So, he began to harass David Kahn every two days, all kinds of wrangling.
David Kahn didn't panic at all, because the Cavaliers were not the only teams asking the price, the Knicks also asked the price, and the Heat also asked the price, and the targets were all Minnesota air.
And Bobcats, Old Joe said he wanted to get involved, and he really did.
He told David Kahn very directly: "Don't even think about the first round. I can give you two rounds. All you have to do is swallow Kenyon Martin's contract."
Kenyon Martin's contract is a bit bigger than Richard Hamilton's, and about the same as Jamison's.
Unlike the Cavaliers, the Bobcats can accept big contracts back.
This deal is easy to negotiate.
Soon, a three-party deal came out——
The Bobcats sent: Kenyon Martin, Dae Quinn Cook, two second rounds of the season
Get: Mo Williams
Timberwolves send: Jonny Flynn
Received: Kenyon Martin, Daequan Cook and Richard Hamilton, two second-rounders from the Bobcats and one second-rounder from the Cavaliers.
Cavaliers sent: Mo Williams, Richard Hamilton, one round
Get: Joni Flynn...
Danny Ferry was also forced to go to Liangshan. He didn't want to play in the first round, but Old Joe took the lead.
Moreover, Old Joe's bargaining chip is also so rich that the Cavaliers can't compare unless they get out of the first round.
In the end, after the Timberwolves swallowed Kenyon Martin's contract, there was only enough room for a ten million contract.
Danny Ferry can only settle for the next best thing, deal with Hamilton and Mo's contract first, and Jamison's contract, so he can only find another good opportunity.
Old Qiao made a sudden move, and the final result was a special case of 800 million yuan, plus Xiao Mo.
"An offensive point guard, Old Joe still remembers what I said at the beginning, what the Bobcats need more is a backup offensive point guard..."
Li Ke was very satisfied with this first move. At least, Bobcat's strength had been strengthened.
"That's Xiao Mo, the No.1 guard with a knife next to Lebron!"
"Next, the target should be on Stephen Jackson and the juniors in the draft."
