Chapter 354 Bankruptcy
A whole year later than the other world.
In August 2006, the first Stankovic Cup was held in Beijing.
The participating countries are Greece, Germany, France, Brazil, China, and Australia.
Zhou Yao has never been interested in this kind of competition.
Naturally, the head coach Wang Fei will not force Zhou Yao to participate.
Of course, Wang Fei still hopes that Zhou Yao can bring the sparring partner over.
Arenas is already very familiar with the main players of the national team.
Moreover, Arenas' Mandarin has also been very good in recent years.
It's just that Arenas has other things to deal with this year.
There is not much time to come to the national team to play.
Zhou Yao recommended another sparring partner.
Bobcats just signed this year's undrafted point guard, Rajon Rondo.
Lost in the draft again.
Another point guard.
It was Zhou Yao's substitute again.
It's hard not to remind Wang Fei of Arenas back then.
Rondo just turned 20 years old.
It can be said that the potential is unlimited.
It's just that his performance in college didn't seem to be particularly good.
Fortunately, after the training camp started.
Wang Fei still recognized Rondo's performance.
Even, Wang Fei moved to plan Rondo again.
Just like he wanted to plan Arenas in the first place.
Of course, he was just thinking about it.
This kind of thing was never in his hands.
……
Compared to the Stankovic Cup.
What really needs attention is the World Championships that will start later.
The last World Championships, the US team only got fourth.
And it was lost at the door of the Americans.
But to be honest, Americans have never paid much attention to the World Championships.
Moreover, after that, the Americans still won the gold medal in the Athens Olympics.
It was just a loss at the World Championships, and they quickly forgot.
This time.
The head coach of the U.S. team is former Olympic Games coach Larry Brown.
This time, the old handsome boldly used newcomers.
The U.S. is drafted after 2001 for everyone.
Among them, the core of the team is James, Wade, and Anthony in 2003.
They are confident that they will bring the medal back to the United States.
……
this summer.
For Zhou Yao, it was the most disturbing thing.
Neither the Stankovic Cup nor the World Championships.
It's the hearings in Washington.
2006 years.
It happened to be the year of the re-election of the US Congress.
Of course, both parties will jump out to cause trouble.
The Republican Party will take out what the Democrats have done to discredit it.
Similarly, the Democrats will also discredit what the Republicans have done.
some of.
The governor of North Carolina is a Republican.
North Carolina's state legislature is also controlled by Republicans.
Even most cities in North Carolina are dominated by the Republican Party.
It was nothing.
Elsewhere, Democrats will do the same.
However, this time, the Democratic Party has a clue.
Zhou Yao has a large amount of investment in Eastern Qin Province.
Among them is Planck New Energy in Niule City.
Although the factories are all in Niule City.
But in fact, Planck New Energy is a company registered in Charlotte.
It is also listed on NASDAQ.
Democrats used that as an excuse to launch an investigation.
One is whether the company is involved in high-tech transfer.
The second is the company in Charlotte, but the factory was built in Niu Le City.
How many jobs will this cost the United States.
You know, the factory in Niule City currently employs tens of thousands.
This is not because of the number of jobs provided by the upstream and downstream industries driven by this factory.
The hearing is due in early August.
There are many people involved.
……
"How about it?"
"Do you have the confidence to pass this level?"
Zhou Yao still stays at home in Charlotte.
Didn't go to Washington as early as most people think.
Although, various lobby groups have already started to act in Washington.
Zhou Yao's home gathered many NBA stars.
Some are active and some have long since retired.
Somewhat surprisingly, NBA Commissioner David Stern was also there.
These people all invested in Zhou Yao.
Don't look at the league, Stern is the president of the aloof.
But here, his status is much lower.
After all, it was too late when Stern took out the money to invest.
It is also a one-time take out of more than 300 million US dollars.
Barkley has already reaped a handsome return on investment.
Stern's 300 million is relatively not that much.
"Don't worry, all the evidence has been collected."
"This hearing, let those guys know how powerful we are!"
Zhou Yao looked confident.
"However, I heard that this time they dispatched a lot of big shots."
Stern was still a little worried.
No wonder he was so worried.
The NBA seems to be famous.
But in fact, the sports industry, after all, is just a small business.
The annual salary of superstars in the NBA can exceed 2000 million.
But in the eyes of those really big shots, it was nothing at all.
Stern also knows that Zhou Yao is now worth a lot of money.
Jordan and others also made huge profits through investment.
But so what!
The Democrats are serious this time.
Those who were dispatched were all bigwigs in the political and business circles.
"By the way, we can barely be called big bosses now!"
Zhou Yao still looked relaxed.
"and."
"They dispatched big shots from both political and business circles."
"There is no one above us!"
"By the way, our investment company has a new resolution this month."
"The company is preparing to separate the real estate subprime mortgage business from the company's main business."
"Set up this part of the business as a new company and sell the new company."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Everyone is a shareholder of the investment company.
The real estate subprime mortgage loan business is now the company's most profitable business.
It can provide a stable profit of 12.00% to 20.00% every year, sometimes even higher.
Such a large amount of business was sold immediately?
But for these players, they don't really understand what to invest in.
Even an old man like David Stern, who has struggled in the mall for most of his life, dare not say that his investment vision is more accurate than Zhou Yao.
Although I don't understand why Zhou Yao wants to sell this part of the business.
But this is not the focus of their concern.
Washington hearing.
If he can't pass this level, Zhou Yao's bankruptcy will be easy.
Now that part of the business has been spun off, it may not be too bleak after bankruptcy.
Moreover, such a good business is sold.
Maybe it's a tactic to show weakness to the other side.
of course.
If Zhou Yao is really bankrupt, he should focus more on basketball...
