Yu Li's childhood sweetheart and I in the courtyard

Chapter 173 The championship, once again achieve the Lakers dynasty
After regaining his senses, Barry Diller quickly called Marvel and asked Marvel to arrange for the comics to be sold in the Phoenix Supermarket Group as well.

Then keep an eye on the follow-up sales of Kung Fu Panda peripheral products, and then make adjustments to increase orders for various products peripheral to the animated film The Lion King.

At this time, Yu Wei also came to Los Angeles. This trip was mainly to continue the final match against the Knicks after the Lakers swept the Bucks last year.

The difference from the previous life is that since Yu Wei cured all the injuries of the Lakers players, the Lakers went smoothly last year and swept the Knicks again in the finals. In the previous life in 1973, it should be the Knicks. The NBA championship is in his arms.

And this year, despite bumps and bumps along the way, he still entered the finals against his old rival, the Boston Celtics.

What is different from the previous life is that Chamberlain, who was supposed to retire in May last year, decided to retire after finishing this season. The whole Lakers wanted to win another championship and make another Lakers dynasty.

A few days before the finals, Yu Wei took Qiao Yue and Zhong Chuhong, who had just come with him on vacation, to Los Angeles.

"If we win the championship this time, then we will create another glory and achieve another Lakers dynasty."

"The retirement ceremony of Wilt Chamberlain and Baylor, I decided to arrange it at the Phoenix Center and retire the jerseys you wore forever!"

"In the future, as long as it is the Lakers or mine, the jersey numbers of the two of you in the Lakers will never be reused! No player on the Lakers will be allowed to choose to wear these two jerseys in the future!"

"If we win the championship this time, it should be the most glorious time in your players' careers. Don't let you leave regrets!"

"Of course, when the Lakers achieve the Triple Crown, I will not be stingy with the bonus. The total player bonus is 300 million US dollars."

"In addition, the total bonus of all staff members on and off the team is US$150 million. These bonuses will be paid out of my own pocket, without using the team's budget!"

After Yu Wei treated the injuries of all the players, he said to the members of the Lakers team who were called together.

"Long live the boss!" Immediately outside the physiotherapy room in the Lakers' arena, the entire Lakers team, including Bill Sharman, also cheered.

Afterwards, Yu Wei took time to listen to Barry Diller's work report at Disney's headquarters, and discussed with him the company's development direction in the next few years.

Also asked Barry Diller to expand the studio as soon as possible.In today's generally depressed situation in Hollywood, Disney has been thriving in recent years.

Since the filming of The Godfather, there hasn't been a single film that has been unsuccessful, all classics, and earning a lot of money.

And the point is, the Disney company also has a Disneyland, which is also very profitable!There is also a Disney Satellite TV with audiences all over the world!

Now, the rogue nature of the United States has begun again. Since the beginning of this year, people in Wall Street, Hollywood, and Washington have started to play with rhythm!
Apart from Disney, the backgrounds of other major Hollywood companies are not small!These people are the ones who actually control the American economy.

And Yu Wei's Phoenix Supermarket Group, Phoenix Pharmaceutical Group and other companies have already made these people salivate, and they have long wanted to take a bite and share the pie.

It’s just that Yu Wei has never listed the company, which made them unable to start for a while, and it’s the 70s now, so they have to abide by some unspoken rules, not to look too ugly, and directly grab it.

This is also one of the reasons why Yu Wei came to the United States. At the same time, he felt that it was not a problem to let the Americans relax, so in the next few days, he first went to New York to inspect the Phoenix Supermarket store.

When leaving New York, there were more than 6000 tons of gold in the storage space. This time Yu Wei did not keep his hands, and did not use the method of eating cabbage hearts by vegetable insects as before.

Directly wipe out the gold stored in the vault that day.

Then I went to the American Petroleum Strategic Reserve and took away about 1000 million tons of various oils in the reserve that day.

I turned around and went to several grain reserve depots, and took away about 1000 million tons of various grains.

This time Yu Wei is quiet, the United States is in chaos, and the entire United States is on the verge of an enemy, and it can't take care of it anymore!

Organizations of all kinds, on the bright side, behind the scenes, local, and overseas, all came to investigate.

Now many secrets of the United States are revealed to the whole world, and all countries in the world understand many things at once. Hey, you, the United States, secretly did those things that happened in our country before? !
These people directly used a dragnet-style search across the United States, immediately blocked ports and airports across the country, and directly closed down several accident sites for investigation.

However, even if the successive governments of the United States have been investigating, they have not smelled a fart!
In the end, a series of meaningless investigations that had cost hundreds of billions of dollars were ordered to stop immediately.

Ended the investigation that a huge amount of supplies would be inexplicably harvested every once in a while, and pointed the finger at the aliens.

At this time, the whole world is forcing the United States to return the gold of the central banks of various countries, and is fighting an international lawsuit, while Yu Wei is watching the NBA finals between the Lakers and the Celtics this season at the Phoenix Center in Los Angeles.

Yu Wei brought Qiao Yue and Zhong Chuhong to watch the entire NBA Finals. The two sides played extremely fiercely. The first six games were tied 3:3. The final game will be held at the Phoenix Center Gymnasium.

During the period, Yu Wei also answered questions from Washington Post reporters.

When a reporter asked Yu Wei, the richest man in the world, what he thought of the theft of gold from the New York vault, and whether it would have disastrous consequences for the American economy, Yu Wei replied directly:
“Hasn’t America gone off the gold standard? Hasn’t it been decoupled from gold? What can be the disastrous effect?”

"The gold is not from the United States, but from the central banks of other countries?"

"It's not that the United States can't afford to pay it back, so why don't we just pay it back?"

But I thought in my heart, it's still early, where will I get here?In the future, as long as there is movement against him, he has to make a big deal out of it to keep them busy.

Afterwards, he ignored the disturbances from the outside world and concentrated on watching the football game.

Back in Los Angeles, the last tie-break was held the next night. Seeing that the old players of the team were already exhausted, there was no other way. Yu Wei directly looked for opportunities. Blended some spatial spirit water.

This allowed several old players of the Lakers to fully recover before the game and won the final battle with difficulty.

When the game was over and the Lakers won the championship again after 20 years, and once again achieved the Lakers dynasty, a large piece of colored paper floated down from the Phoenix Center Stadium, and the cheers of more than 5 people almost toppled the roof.

All the players of the Lakers also hugged each other, crying.

While the players were going to the locker room, Bill Sharman talked to Yu Wei for a while. He wanted to be in charge of the team's management for a few years, give up the position of head coach, and talk to Yu Wei in advance.

"Bill, then you have to train a good coach in advance. Find a few coaches you think are talented, take them with you, train them for a few years, and then choose another one to replace you!"

"In addition, do everything possible to bring Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to the Lakers, and then rebuild the Lakers with him as the core! What do you think?" Yu Wei said.

"I was just about to tell you about Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and the two of us thought about going together! I've already had someone contact him and plan to bring him to the Lakers!" Bill Sharman replied.

"Then it's settled, bring Kareem back, and find some more good helpers for him!" Yu Wei said.

After the awards were presented, all the Lakers went directly to the Peninsula Hotel Ballroom next to the stadium to celebrate.

Yu Wei and Bill Sharman had just left the entrance of the gymnasium and were about to go to the Peninsula Hotel, when someone next to him was calling his name, and the voice was very loud.

Yu Wei turned his head and looked, hey, isn't this Jobs when he was young?So he waved to the security personnel who stopped Jobs, signaling to let them come over.

"Mr. Yu, hello! Hello! My name is Steve Jobs, you are my idol. Can you give me a few minutes, I have a business plan and want to talk to you." Jobs said.

"Okay, let's talk as we walk. We are going to the Peninsula Hotel to celebrate the team's championship. I invite you to join us!" Yu Wei invited Jobs, who looked at the long-haired and youthful Jobs.

"Mr. Yu, my plan is like this." Then Jobs talked about his business plan incessantly.

Finally, he stated the purpose of wanting Yu Wei to invest in the company he was going to start.

"Steve, in this way, today is not the time to talk about this matter. We will attend the Lakers celebration reception together later, and then you will stay at the Peninsula Hotel tonight."

"Tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning, I invite you to have breakfast together at the restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel. How about we talk about it in detail then?" Yu Wei said to Jobs who was looking at him nervously, waiting for his reply.

"Okay, Mr. Yu! Thank you!" Jobs nodded with embarrassment, and thanked Wei.

When Yu Wei saw Jobs' expression, he suddenly remembered that in his previous life, he should have dropped out of school this year due to financial reasons, and then went to work at Atari. Two years later, in 1976, he co-founded Apple with others.

This should be the most difficult time for him financially. The one-night room rate of the Peninsula Hotel is probably enough for Jobs!But Yu Wei didn't say anything, and didn't show any expression.

When they arrived at the banquet, Yu Wei quietly asked Ye Qiang a few words, and then asked him to get a room, and then directly sent the hotel room key to Jobs.

Not long after Jobs found a seat and sat down, Ye Qiang handed him the key to the hotel room.

Jobs took the key and looked at Ye Qiang with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Have you forgotten that the Peninsula Hotel is also Mr. Yu's hotel? This is exactly what Mr. Yu asked me to bring over to you, and he asked me to tell you, don't forget to have breakfast together tomorrow morning!" Ye Qiang said.

"Thank you!" After Jobs thanked Ye Qiang, he didn't say anything more, and directly accepted the hotel room key.

But this time, Jobs left an unforgettable memory and a lot of feelings.Since then, whenever he travels around the world, he prefers to stay at the Peninsula Hotel, unless there is no Peninsula Hotel in the area.
