Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 228 Genius World
After the Warriors finished the first round, the other series are also coming to an end.

The Eastern Celtics easily eliminated the Bulls 3:0. Although Jordan averaged 35.6 points per game in this series, he was still powerless and was rubbed on the ground by the Celtics.

The Eagles, ranked second in the East, defeated the seventh Pacers 3:1, also effortlessly.

The third-ranked Pistons also swept the Bullets 3:0 and advanced easily.

The only more anxious game in the East is the contest between the fourth and fifth places.

The Bucks are still unable to play because of Moncrief, so it is extremely difficult to play against the 76ers.

In the original time and space, Nelson led the Bucks to successfully defeat the 76ers, but now, they lost to the 2ers 3:76.

There are many reasons. First of all, the 76ers got Carroll, who averaged 20+ points per game, through a trade with the Warriors, which is stronger than the original time and space.

In addition, because the Bucks changed their coaches, their control over the team is naturally not as good as Nelson, who has coached the Bucks for ten years, thus weakening the Bucks' strength in disguise.

Therefore, in the end, the Bucks were unable to recover and fell in the first round.

On the west side, first of all, the Lakers eliminated the Nuggets 3:0 without any suspense, and every game was a big victory, without giving their opponents any chance, showing their dominance.

Ranked fourth and fifth, the Blazers and the Jazz fought fiercely. In the end, the Blazers had the last laugh, defeating the young Jazz 3:2.

The third-ranked Mavericks, although they changed their opponents, still could not escape the fate of being defeated. They met the sixth-ranked Rockets, and finally they were eliminated by the Rockets with a score of 1:3.

In fact, it's really no wonder the Mavericks didn't work hard, it's because the Rockets are too strong.

After all, the Rockets were the team that made it to the finals last year. Although many players have changed this year, the core has not changed and their strength is still there.

The reason why the record slipped to sixth this year is of course due to injuries. In the playoffs, with Sampson's return from injury, his strength will naturally recover. Naturally, the Mavericks' inside line cannot withstand the bug-level Rockets Twin Towers, so they were rejected. Elimination is also a reasonable thing.

Even before the game, many fans predicted that the Rockets would eliminate the Mavericks, and even guessed the big score correctly.

Therefore, the second round of matchups also came out, the Eastern Celtics played against the 76ers, the Eagles played against the Pistons, the Western Lakers played against the Trail Blazers, and the Warriors played against the Rockets.

The first game of the two teams is scheduled for May 5, and the time is slightly superior to the Warriors, who can rest for two days, unlike the Rockets, who can only rest for one day.

The Warriors didn't return to Golden State that night, but early the next morning.

That night, Frank took the reluctant Li Weisi to Alan's house as a guest and had dinner together.

It has to be said that as long as Li Weisi does not speak, it is easy to leave a good impression on people based on his behavior alone. After all, he is handsome, well-behaved, and polite, and has all the qualities that the upper class in the United States value.

It's a pity that a good person, why did he open his mouth?

Fortunately, tonight Frank vaccinated Li Weisi in advance and asked him to eat more and talk less, which allowed dinner to proceed normally.

Allen is almost forty this year, still unmarried, has no children, and enjoys a happy single life, so there are only three of them for dinner today.

At the dinner table, Alan found out that Li Weisi didn't like to talk, so he chatted with Frank about business investment.

"Frank, I found out that you have been quietly raising funds recently. What are you going to do?" Allen cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth.

"Some things need to be done, and naturally we need to raise funds." Frank didn't answer directly, but just said something vaguely.

"Oh? It seems that there is a lot of movement? Are you short of money? If you are short, you can count me in."

"Haha, of course it's okay, the more the better, don't worry, you will never lose money." Frank faced Allen and offered him money, and he would not refuse.

"It seems that you are very sure? What kind of inside information do you have?" Allen wondered.

It has to be said that although Alan is very smart, it is said that his IQ is as high as 170, almost comparable to Li Weisi, but his investment level is worrying, and he can't even see Frank's taillight.

Some people in later generations commented on Allen's investment, saying that his investment is like grabbing a handful of dice, and then throwing them at will, and it counts wherever it lands.

In fact, this evaluation is not outrageous. Allen’s investment covers almost all fields, such as information highway, multimedia, cable TV and digital appliances, music, aerospace technology, etc. Later, the companies and organizations he invested and controlled even exceeded 150, however, the vast majority of which lost everything.

If it weren't for his shares in Microsoft, which could provide him with a steady stream of wealth, he would have lost all his money long ago.

It can be seen that the answer to how to make a billionaire go bankrupt is to let him invest!

Unlike Alan, although Frank's investment has been different, he only has more than a dozen companies in his sights. However, most of these companies are related to the Internet.

As a result, Frank now has the title of God of Wealth in Silicon Valley.

"I know the inside information, can you still not know? Who wouldn't want such precious information?"

"That's right, every investor is a believer in Walson's law." Allen nodded in agreement with Frank's point of view.

"What rule?" Frank froze for a moment.

"It is the law proposed by American entrepreneur S. M. Walson, which roughly means: put information and intelligence first, and money will flow in." At this time, Li Weisi, who had been silent all the time, suddenly explained to Frank.

"It's going to happen!" While Li Weisi was speaking, Frank's heart skipped a beat.

"Oh? I didn't expect West, you still know something about business knowledge?" Li Weisi's words surprised Allen. After all, these words came from a basketball player, and it seemed a little bit inconsistent no matter how you looked at it.

"I just read some economics books when I was in college, although I think those books are useless." Li Weisi shrugged.

"Oh? Why do you say that economics is useless?" Allen became more interested.

"Because in my opinion, economics is not a science. It is just some scholars who summarize some social events and then forcibly summarize them with certain assumptions. It is not universal. It is like Giselle witch divination. Purely by deceiving."

"Hahaha, your metaphor is really interesting!" Allen smiled happily, and couldn't help saying to Frank: "Frank, West is so interesting, you should really introduce us to each other earlier!"

"Huh?" Frank was stunned. He never thought that these two people would hit it off. Could it be that this is the world of geniuses with high IQs?
