<h4><strong>Chapter 1211 – Europe’s Top Billionaire</strong></h4>


    They had arrived in LA. Although Yao Ming is a neer and had joined the team as an undrafted yer, no one dares to let him carry his luggage or bully him. juwon had also announced that he will impart all his skills and techniques to him.


    The rest of the yers knew this guy is their boss’s fellow countryman, and whoever dares to bully him, will be barred from ying or even fired from the team.


    There are also rumors that Carter was too arrogant during a friendly match with the Chinese team, and that’s why he was transferred out. If not, why would the team exchange him for Martin? Although Martin was also the No. 1 pick, he was the weakest No. 1 pick! Of course, he is no longer the weakest No. 1 pick as the 2001 drafts, No. 1 pick is even weaker than him!


    Jordan doesn’t have eyes for good yers.


    Kirilenko had alsoe to LA to pick Bateer and also to chat with Feng Yu.


    The gold price had raised a little and dropped suddenly. Kirilenko wants to ask Feng Yu if this is normal.


    .......


    “Brother Ki, you must be tired recently.” Feng Yu smiled.


    “Hahaha... it’s not tiring at all. I had only brought my men to acquire some gold mines. What’s more important is the information you gave me. It’s been a while since youe to the US. What’s wrong? Your wife doesn’t allow you toe?” Kirilenko joked.


    “I am the one who doesn’t want to leave her. I will return after a few days here, as I have not much to do here. Staying at home is still morefortable.” Feng Yu repliedzily.


    “You muste and watch my team in the finals. I will be moving my team to Brooklyn next year.”


    Feng Yu was shocked. In his previous life, that Russian boss had paid a heavy price to move the Nets to Brooklyn a few yearster. How did Kirilenko settle this so easily? Did the association and New York agree to this?


    New Jersey and Brooklyn might be separated by a river, but the economic conditions are far apart. The Nets had not yed well the past few years and do not have many fans in New Jersey. But with Carter this year, this team will be stronger, and their attendance will be much higher.


    Even when the Nets ying better now, and their matches are more exciting, their attendance is only slightly above average. Kirilenko had seen the Wind and Rain Team’s attendance in the past, and it was much worse than the Nets. But they can still sell their tickets at high prices. This is because the people here are rich.


    That’s why Kirilenko told the association that he must move. For this move, he paid a heavy price, but it’s worth it.


    The sports arena in Brooklyn had started constructionst year, and Kirilenko had increased the budget to speed it up. It should be ready this September, and the Nets will be a New York team from then on.


    What about the Knicks in New York? They are too lousy, and their fans will switch to support the Nets. Why would the fans not support a championship team and support a bottom team?


    Kirilenko had thought about this. He will move this team to New York as champions. This way, New Yorkers will not reject his team and can get a bigger market share. The fans here are wealthier, and the Nets will be like the Knicks to earn money for him.


    “Alright. I wille back during the finals.” Feng Yu promised.


    The finals should be the Nets vs. Lakers. Lakers is from LA, and to Feng Yu, this is like watching the match at home.


    After Feng Yu agreed, he noticed Kirilenko looking dejected and is sighing. What’s wrong with him?


    “Brother Ki, is there anything wrong?”


    “Sigh... Why is Paul’s zer getting bad to worse? If his team can get into the finals, I can let my team trash him. It’s such a pity!”


    Feng Yu: “......”


    Kirilenko is really determined to humiliate Paul Allen.


    “But three dayster, we will be facing the zers. Thest time we won by 18 points. This time, we must win by more than 20 points!” Kirilenko said.


    Their bet is still on. If the Nets can sweep the zers clean, Paul Allen must make a public statement that his team is no match for the Nets and Kirilenko. He must also bow in front of everyone.


    Whenever Kirilenko thought about this, he wouldugh.


    You, Paul Allen, like to boast in front of me. Why are you not boasting now? You don’t know how to do business, and you also don’t know how to manage a basketball team!


    Kirilenko had even thought about what he will say after Paul Allen bows to him in front of the international audience. He must humiliate him in front of the world!


    So what if you have high intelligence? Many people are more intelligent than me, but how many of them are as rich as me?!


    “Alright. I will return after that match.”


    “Oh, Feng. The gold prices had fallen again these few days. Should we do something about it?” Kirilenko asked seriously.


    Kirilenko’s gold investment is not a small amount, and he needs to be treating it seriously.


    “This is normal fluctuation, and you don’t need to worry about it. Continue to focus on the long-term futures contract. Did you use high leverage?”


    “No... I had invested conservatively like your Wind and Rain Consulting. Didn’t you say this investment has risk and we need to be careful? Anyway, the profits will still be high even when we invest prudently.” Kirilenko replied.


    “Ok. Although the gold price had dropped slightly, it is still higher than our buy-in price. So, there’s no need to worry. We will just wait for it to rise. If the gold price rises for two to three consecutive days, we can increase our investments slightly. But you must set aside enough emergency funds in case anything goes wrong.” Feng Yu reminded.


    “Don’t worry. I will not be greedy, and getting returns of 1 or 2 billion USD is enough.”


    If other people heard what Kirilenko said, they would be vomiting blood. Making 2 billion USD in less than a year is not considered greedy? Then what is consider greedy in your eyes?


    Getting a 10% return with such a big fund is considered good, and 20% is terrific! Although Kirilenko had invested arge fund into gold, it’s only around a few billion USD. He is targeting returns of around 30%.


    “This should not be a problem. You should have made a lotst year, right? Although we are investing conservatively this year, the returns will still be high.”


    “Hahaha... I think I will be Europe’s Top Billionaire soon!”


    Feng Yuughed and shook his head. “No. You are already Europe’s Top Billionaire now! Ferrero had left his assets to his wife and children. Although their total assets seem to be very high, it’s split between two people. You should be able to exceed theirbined asset before the end of the year. But now, you are already Europe’s Top Billionaire.”


    Kirilenko looks dazed. I am already Europe’s top Billionaire? Howe no one tells me about this?!
