What is the next line after "Imperial Jade Liquor" in Chapter 653?
Swish!
Swish!
As expected, Durant made both free throws.
The score is 109-93.
The Celtics inbounded the ball quickly again, trying to score in the shortest amount of time.
This is Jaylen Brown's shot, which missed under the double-team of Westbrook and Wang Xiucheng.
Towns secured the rebound and immediately passed it to Durant.
The Celtics fouled again, sending Durant to the free-throw line.
At this moment, only 40 seconds remain.
Trailing by 16 points, the Celtics had virtually no chance of a comeback.
But since it's their home court, the Celtics have to give their fans an explanation.
Durant made both free throws again.
Then the Nets started defending the Celtics' three-pointers, leaving the paint open.
After wasting more than ten seconds without finding a shooting opportunity, White could only manage to score two points inside the paint.
But at this point, there were only 20 seconds left.
Mazura waved her hand, substituting Tatum and several other key players.
The Celtics have surrendered!
With a final whistle, the Nets defeated the Celtics 111-95 on the road.
The score is now tied at 1-1!
What Celtics fans find hard to accept is that the Celtics have lost their home-court advantage!
The next two games will both be played at the Barclays Center, and the Celtics must win at least one of them to regain home-court advantage.
In the regular season statistics, the Nets were not the team with the highest home winning percentage.
But any team that can beat the Nets at Barclays Center will be skinned alive.
The playoffs are a series of games, and opponents can devise strategies specifically to counter you.
Winning under these circumstances is true skill.
After two away games, the Nets team didn't waste any time. They didn't even go back to the hotel. They took a bus directly to the airport and then flew back to New York on a private jet.
In fact, the straight-line distance from Boston to New York is only 300 kilometers. The entire Nets team can travel to New York by bus in just two or three hours.
But there's really no need for that.
……
China, Yanjing.
Jianguo Road, Wanda Hotel.
1 pm.
A signing ceremony is being held in the lobby on the first floor.
Behind the long signing table sat five people.
On the other side, at least several dozen reporters had gathered.
If Wang Xiucheng were here, he would recognize some of them.
The person sitting in the very center was my older sister, Wang Xiuxun, with Wang Jianlin and Ma Yun on either side of her.
Wang Xiucheng probably didn't recognize the two people on either side, but their identities were listed on the nameplates in front of them.
One person represents Tencent, and the other represents JD.com.
Reporters kept taking pictures with their cameras and video recorders, and many were even live-streaming.
The staff behind the five people exchanged the signed documents with other people one by one, and then continued to sign.
A few minutes later, after everyone had signed all five documents, the five people stood up.
Wang Xiuxun took the initiative to hold hands with the people on both sides, and then the people on both sides held the hands of the people next to them.
This means the agreement has officially come into effect.
"The signing ceremony is now officially complete, and the agreement regarding the transfer of Wanda shares is now officially in effect," the host announced, leading the applause.
As soon as he finished speaking, many reporters below immediately raised their hands, asking questions.
The signing ceremony included a Q&A session, and there were even two secretaries at the secretary's desk collecting questions from viewers watching the live stream.
The host took the microphone and went to a female reporter in the front row, handing her the microphone.
"Global Times reporter in Yanjing, Mr. Wang Jianlin, why did you ultimately choose Wang Xiucheng and kick out PAG Capital and his partners?"
Wang Jianlin leaned forward slightly, his voice not loud, but full of confidence: "Wang Xiucheng is right, Wan Da cannot be sold to foreign capital."
This short sentence is enough to explain why Wan Jianlin made this choice.
"I heard that Wang Xiucheng has said that he wants PAG Capital to transfer its 60% stake in Wanda Commercial Management. Is that true?"
Wang Jianlin glanced at Wang Xiuxun, seemingly considering it for a moment before saying, "I don't know about this matter, but Wan Da is Wan Da of China. If possible, I would certainly like her to be in the hands of the Chinese."
The host took the microphone back and handed it to someone else.
"Reporter from the Economic Vanguard, could you provide more details about the shareholding structure after this transaction?"
Wang Xiuxun opened the document and glanced at it. “Of course, Mr. Wang Xiucheng and his partners have jointly invested 500 billion to buy the ownership of 48 Wanda Plazas. Wang Xiucheng holds 65% of the shares, Tencent, Ali, and JD.com each hold 10% of the shares, and Wanda retains 5% of the shares.”
After Wang Xiuxun finished speaking concisely, he glanced at the host.
The host immediately handed the microphone to another person.
"China Youth Weekly, Ms. Wang, is this acquisition of Wanda Plaza related to the previous acquisition of Enlight Media?"
The Wanda Plaza industry includes Wanda Cinemas. These 48 Wanda Plazas together have at least several hundred large screens.
This is not a small amount.
Naturally, many film and media companies hope to cultivate a good relationship with Wan Da.
“These are two completely independent matters.” Wang Xiuxun paused for a moment. “Wanda Plaza will still be operated by Wanda Commercial Management. Wang Xiucheng will not interfere, which is why Wanda retains a 5% stake.”
Wanda retained a portion of the shares, though not a large one, but operating Wanda Plaza is essentially working for itself.
But if you lose all your shares, it's like working for Wang Xiucheng.
Whether psychologically or physically, there is a possibility that some employees will not put in the effort despite being present at work.
"One last question," the host said, taking the microphone and handing it to the next person.
"PAG Capital's Shan Weijian claims he doesn't know who Wang Xiucheng is. May I ask...?"
Before the man could finish his question, Wang Xiuxun laughed and interrupted him, saying, "That's why my brother said he wasn't Chinese. Now you believe him, right? Who in China doesn't know Wang Xiucheng?"
Upon hearing Wang Xiuxun's words, the reporters all laughed, and even Ma Yun, who had been keeping a straight face, lowered his head and smiled.
Yes, who in China doesn't know Wang Xiucheng these days?
If you're involved in sports, how could you not know who Wang Xiucheng is?
If you're in the film and television industry, how could you not know who Wang Xiucheng is?
If you're in finance, how could you not know who Wang Xiucheng is?
Even if you're just an ordinary person, you've at least heard of Wang Xiucheng, right?
When Shan Weijian said this, it seemed like he was trying to lower Wang Xiucheng's profile, but in reality, he was lowering his own profile.
How can someone who claims to be Chinese every day not recognize Wang Xiucheng?
That's a bit ridiculous!
It's like someone asking you "Imperial Jade Liquor" and you don't know how to answer!
