Basketball: The Chosen Victim

"How are you thinking about our offer?"

Zuckerberg looked at Wu Di, and Systrom, Ariana and others also looked at Wu Di, waiting for Wu Di to finally speak.

Things have come to this point, Wu Di should not raise the price... right?

Wu Di smiled lightly:
"40 million dollars!"

"!!!"

For a moment, everyone at the dinner table felt that their heartbeats slowed down by half a beat...

Another billion!
How dare Wu Di!
Just after 2011, the median housing price in New York was only $45, Wu Di raised the asking price by another $10 billion?

crazy!

Absolutely crazy!
Not to mention Systrom this time, even Ariana felt that Wu Di might have other ideas...

For example, first raise an impossibly high price, and then bargain with Zuckerberg.

The corners of Zuckerberg's mouth twitched, and there was a constant battle between heaven and man in his heart.

Although the price was too high, he couldn't bear the psychological pressure to continue the negotiation!

Lasso failed, Wu Di's will is so firm, and Instagram is his goal...

He gritted his teeth, finally made up his mind, stood up tremblingly and stretched out his hands:

"OK!"

It looked like he had lost his soul.

But the ones who really lost their souls were all the people present!
Wu Di raised the price again, and Zuckerberg agreed? !
Are they talking about 40 yuan or 40 billion yuan?

Wu Di stood up and shook hands with him, said with a smile:

"Did I underestimate?"

Zuckerberg grinned. He suddenly felt that the 40 billion purchase was very worthwhile, because he not only bought Instagram, but also let Wu Di join his camp with 40 billion dollars!
Facebook is listed, there is definitely a story to support the stock price!
"You can't go back on your word!"

Zuckerberg smiled, and everyone came back to their senses and smiled happily.

Soon, the company secretary took out the acquisition letter of intent with the newly revised amount from outside the house and asked the two parties to sign the contract.

The acquisition negotiations have been going on until now, and the contract has been seen for several rounds. The letter of intent is just a document of intent for both parties to agree on the transaction target, transaction price, transaction period, etc., and the signing is quick.

Of the $40 billion, $12 billion is cash and the remaining $28 billion is Facebook stock.

At present, Facebook has not yet been listed. The overall valuation is 196 billion US dollars, 28 billion US dollars accounted for 14.3% of the shares. When Wu Di is implemented, it is the overall 3.86% of the shares, worth 7.56 million US dollars.

If according to the situation of Facebook's listing in the previous life, the stock price skyrocketed by nearly 50% on the day of listing, then Wu Di's income will skyrocket again.

"We will be a family from now on, come, eat meat!"

Wen Xia smiled, and she brought plates of beef to the table, calling for everyone to add meat to the pot.

Zuckerberg moved his index finger. As Huaxia's son-in-law, he skillfully used chopsticks to pick up meat into the small hot pot in front of him and started to eat.

Now Baheli Wuji has been officially opened for a month. Once it opened, it became popular all over Russia and even the United States with its superior quality and Wu Di's reputation.

But Wu Di has an exclusive big box, which is where they are sitting now, and it is exclusively for him to entertain his teammates or friends.

The room is well-decorated and rectangular in shape. It was designed by the same designer who helped him renovate the manor. On one wall are the signed jerseys he and his teammates signed in the tie-breaker in the Eastern Conference Finals last season. Floor to ceiling windows with views of Lake Erie.

It's very spacious, but it's not open to the public. No matter how rich you are, no one else can get in unless you ask Wu Di to show your face.

"Oh my god, this beef has a weird umami taste, especially with this sauce..."

"After eating this kind of beef, how can I eat other beef?"

"Shu Liu, what is this? Oh, fried beef river? God, I love this dish!"

……

Hearing the constant exclamation from the crowd, Wen Xia had a smile on her face.

Wu Di asked her to pursue quality, which is really the right path now.

After their beef shop exploded, countless imitators emerged overnight, but most of them were transformed from ordinary Chinese hot pot restaurants, and they could not learn their essence, which is authentic Huaxia yellow beef.

When those old Chinese were rejected by the diners, they couldn't understand the reason. After all, in their opinion, how could Huaxia yellow beef compare to Angus beef?
But this has built the moat of their Wuji Beef Restaurant in Baheli. Most people want to imitate it, but they really can't.

It takes a lot of effort to establish a supply chain. With domestic partners with rich experience and strong strength, it took them more than half a year to establish a cold chain chilled supply chain for Huaxia yellow beef exported to the United States. The hot pot restaurant that imitates the copycat does not have this strength at all.

Moreover, in order to preserve freshness and taste, they used black technologies such as vacuum lock freshness, coupled with air transportation across the ocean, completely regardless of cost. The Hermès of beef.

There was even a vicious incident last week, when a truckload of beef was robbed while in transit. The news spread back to China, and the filter of the United States was shattered on the spot.

However, the current domestic public opinion environment is still the era when public intellectuals dominate. They seem to have been stepped on the tail, eagerly expressing that this is because of the blessing of Wu Di's halo, and it is not because Huaxia scalpers themselves have this value that makes old beauties flock to them.

Moreover, it is implied that Wuji in Baheli will be like Yao restaurant back then, and sooner or later it will fall into the predicament of poor management...

Naturally, Wu Di would not pay any attention to these public knowledge that would be swept into the garbage dump sooner or later. As a reborn person, he already knew that these people's buttocks were completely crooked, and the rumors they said became more and more outrageous.

But Wen Xia and Wu Ma were very upset about this. In the early days, some public officials in China attacked them for providing Westerners with offal menus such as tripe and beef louvers, saying that they did not take care of the eating habits of Westerners who do not eat offal. Disrespecting Western religious beliefs, embarrassing people abroad, etc.

But in fact, beef louver is one of the most popular ingredients in restaurants. Zuckerberg, a Jew who believes in Judaism, now eats tripe better than anyone else.

If you actually think about it, you can know that Gallic foie gras, German blood sausage, chicken roasted lamb loin, Jerusalem stew, etc. are all typical offal dishes, and no Roman orthodoxy is spared anyway.

The well-known people say that Westerners don't eat offal, making it seem like Westerners are so noble, who knows that Westerners themselves will blush when they say it.

However, there are still countries in the West that don't eat offal very much, and this country is precisely the United States with little culture.

But many Americans don't eat offal, and if they tell the real reason, those public knowledge will probably only jump their feet.

Because it is a continuation of the vice of slavery.

When slavery was still practiced in the United States, white lords on plantations would give offal to black slaves. Over time, many Americans avoided eating offal.

It's so advanced!

The blacks are all liberated, and many public intellectuals are still kneeling, haha.

In short, Wu Di is planning to open branches all over the United States to spread the profound food culture.

Second-course dealers like Italian cuisine can occupy an important position on the dining table of Westerners. As long as the quality of Huaxia diet can be guaranteed, it will be a blow to dimensionality reduction.

"Di, I want to take a stake in this restaurant, please make an offer!"

Satisfied, Zuckerberg laughed.

Wu Di is also speechless, vulgar, he just wants to use money to smash us, are we the ones who can use money to get through?

"Forget about it, Mark, you know, it's not so fast to start a business, and we don't need financing..."

Wu Di waved his hand and smiled.

"Don't refuse, I know that Ballmer bought shares before, I will pay twice the price he offered!"

Zuckerberg laughed, he can buy Instagram’s 40 billion dollars, but he can’t buy a beef shop?

What a joke, don't underestimate his money-making ability!
"Hey, how can I let you suffer! Our Instagram was just acquired by you, and I have to call you the boss in the future. How dare I cheat the boss?"

Wu Di repeatedly shook his head.

"three times!"

Zuckerberg insisted, pulling out his checkbook.

Wu Di still wanted to refuse, but Wen Xia's slightly murderous gaze made him make a sharp turn:

"Hey, this is just an ordinary beef shop. There are everywhere in Huaxia Street. It's not very competitive. But since you like it, Mark, we have to cooperate with you..."

Zuckerberg smiled happily, he patted Wu Di on the shoulder and said:
"Welcome to the world of billionaires!"

Everyone laughed, and the dinner that night finally came to an end.

Soon, a formal agreement was signed, and news broke that Facebook had reached an acquisition agreement with the founder team of Instagram!
Although Zuckerberg appeared on the sidelines of the Quicken Loans Arena to express his favor to Wu Di, the outside world had expected that Facebook would have to pay a big price this time, but the final purchase amount still detonated the major media!
40 million dollars!

Silicon Valley adds another rich myth!

The point is that this myth of creating wealth was just a blank sheet of paper a year and a half ago!
Among the $40 billion, the company founder Systrom made a profit of $14.4 billion, early partner Mike Craig made a profit of $6.4 million, early venture capital fund Andreessen Horowitz made a profit of $3.6 million, Wu Di Relying on early investment and drainage operations, Ariana made a profit of 10.8 billion U.S. dollars, and Ariana made a profit of 4 million U.S. dollars through commercial transformation, and dozens of other ordinary employees received 8000 million U.S. dollars...

Here, except for venture capital funds and ordinary employees, no one else looks like a professional at all.

Strom University majors in management and part-time programming, Craig is a college friend and technical nerd who was recruited by Strom to help start a business, Wu Di is a player, and Ariana has a medical degree. The first time I set foot in business was as Wu Di's agent...

Sure enough, if you want to make a fortune, you have to start a business!

Anyway, this time Di fans are completely elated. Their emperor not only won the MVP and FMVP, but also directly surpassed Pierce, Wade, Durant, O'Neal, Kobe, James and other veteran stars during the rookie contract period , has become the NBA's most valuable active player!
An active-duty label must be added, after all, the old hooligan's worth has already exceeded 20 billion US dollars, and this is calculated by considering the Bobcats as more than 2 million US dollars.

But people have to admit that there are mountains beyond mountains, because in the entire sports circle, Wu Di didn't even make it to the top five.

The people above him include Mayweather with US$12 billion, Ronaldo with US$12.4 billion, the golf trio, Nicklaus, Palmer, and Tiger Woods with US$15 billion, and Jordan with US$26.2 billion.

These people are all foreigners, but it doesn't mean that Huaxia athletes have no money, it's just that they are too concentrated. For example, Li Ning is quite rich, even richer than Jordan, with a net worth of more than 40 billion US dollars.

In short, the weeks before the NBA All-Star Weekend are extremely lively, not only the acquisition of Instagram, the rumors of Wu Di's skyrocketing net worth, but also another oriental face also occupying the headlines of the media!
That is Jeremy Lin of the Knicks, Xuanfeng Lin!
In addition to the oriental face, Jeremy Lin and Wu Di have many similarities.

At the beginning, Jeremy Lin was not favored by others, and even suffered a considerable degree of racial discrimination. Of course, Jeremy Lin was less talented than Wu Di, and his experience was much worse than Wu Di. Alliance, even living on the couch of teammates...

Then he broke out quickly, led the team to victory, continuously created personal records, and broke history...

At the same time, both of them are people with superior IQs. Jeremy Lin studied at Harvard University, and Wu Di achieved great success in business.

In addition, although Jeremy Lin is not as handsome as Wu Di, he is considered a man in the NBA where there are many ugly people. Jeremy Lin quickly created a whirlwind in the NBA!
On February 2, the Cavaliers will be a guest in New York.

Before the game, Melon Anthony approached Wu Di with a bitter expression on his face:

"Di, now I understand your pressure last season..."

Unlike the previous life, the Knicks' record has not been improved because of Jeremy Lin's arrival.

Because Jeremy Lin has been targeted like never before!
Last season, Wu Di had gone through the road to rise before Jeremy Lin. If there were not 20 unjust teams that died under the sword of the knight, there must be 10. This time Jeremy Lin rises again, and the stars are completely blown.

Wu Di and the others couldn't deal with it, and they couldn't deal with Jeremy Lin?
In his previous life, Jeremy Lin's sudden emergence was largely due to his surprising speed.

But this time the other teams are ready to deal with the Knicks with the same emphasis on Wu Di. The Knicks are completely defeated.

As a result, the Knicks have a luxurious lineup of Anthony, Stoudemire, Jeremy Lin, Chandler, Fields, JR Smith, etc. The current record is only 17 wins and 16 losses, barely ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference, not as good as last year ranking.

Wu Di patted Anthony on the shoulder:

"It's okay, just play, just be happy, anyway, you won't win the championship this season!"

Anthony gave a half-smile and a few dry laughs, secretly poking in his heart that he wanted to teach Wu Di a lesson on the court later.

However, when he arrived on the field, he was instantly dumbfounded!

Wu Di, why did both of them suddenly become stronger by a large margin?

The two faced off, and Wu Di, who was supposed to be as strong as him, came up and beat him with his back!

Anthony put on the mask of pain in an instant. Although he couldn't help but sprinted with a few beautiful girls yesterday in Toronto's away game, but the side effects are so big?

On the next round, he asked Chandler to flank him.

A look of shock soon appeared on the boxing champion's face!

In the finals of last season, Chandler defended Wu Di a lot, and he is very familiar with Wu Di's strength, but now...

But Wu Di's power surged again!

"Gift Crab, what kind of freak are you?"

Chandler questioned incredulously, Wu Di has completely subverted his world view!

You must know that Wu Di is not a brute force player like James, his skills are very delicate among shooting guards!

However, such a player now has such top strength...

How is this played?
How to prevent this?
Anthony swallowed, and from Chandler's reaction, he already knew that those girls were fine, and it was Wu Di who had the problem!
Falk, is there any law left?

Wu Di's upswing period is too long!

Still let the melon live?

The corner of Wu Di's mouth rose, hehe, surprised or not?

Yes, he added talent points again!

I really look forward to the expression on Lao Zhan's face!

Just a few days ago, the cash for the acquisition had come down, and he had an extra $3.2 million in his account.

In exchange, it is 32 talent points.

In addition to the 3 talent points earned from playing these days, he earned 35 talent points this time!

Invest in yourself and never lose money! (end of this chapter)
