Chapter 609 Latest Developments

Although the Mavericks have no shortage of insiders, Yang Dongsheng will never let Popovich get his wish if he has the opportunity to intercept Hu Gasol.

The Mavericks and the Spurs belong to the Southwest Division. Under the leadership of Popovich, the Spurs are definitely the Mavericks' rivals.

Without Gasol, the Spurs can only choose Eddie Griffin, which is definitely a big pit.

For the remaining pick, Yang Dongsheng will choose a point guard.

The Mavericks finally lost to the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals last season. In addition to being unable to limit O'Neal, another important reason was that in two games, Nash was blown away by Fisher.

Nash played very well in the regular season, but in the playoffs, the referee's penalty scale was relaxed, and Nash's shortcomings were revealed as soon as the confrontation intensity came up-his body was too thin.

In these two games, Nash was completely suppressed by Fisher on both offensive and defensive ends, and Fisher did not have any advantage in the other few games.

The Mavericks did have a strong point guard, but Billups didn't know what he did, and Nelson didn't even give him a chance to play.

Yang Dongsheng is going to trade Nash, so that only Billups is left at the point guard. If he is injured and there is no qualified substitute, and Billups has not renewed his contract, his contract will expire next year. expired.

Among the rookies this year, there happened to be an excellent point guard. Yang Dongsheng remembered that Parker was selected at the end of the first round in his previous life, and he was ready to use.

But just after the 20th pick, Parker was selected by the Jazz. Stockton was old and needed a substitute.

Yang Dongsheng didn't know that Parker would fall to the last place in the first round in his previous life, which was also the result of Popovich's constant slander.

Without Parker, Yang Dongsheng could only choose the unqualified point guard Arenas.

In this way, the Mavericks must first renew Billups.

Yang Dongsheng directly asked Larry Bird to discuss early contract renewal with Nowitzki, Billups, Artest and others, and he could promise that Billups would be the starting point guard next season.

In addition, at the beginning of next season, Brad Miller will be brushed up and traded to make room for Gasol.

If Old Nelson knew about this matter, he would definitely not settle the matter with Larry Bird. It would kill two birds with one stone.

But before the draft was over, the Spurs sent a message that Popovich wanted to trade Eddie Griffin and David Robinson for Gasol and Artest.

At the same time, David Robinson also sent the data of last season, averaging 15 points, 9 rebounds, and shooting nearly 1999% of the field goal percentage, forming a twin tower with Duncan, which can replicate their success in [-].

Popovich is used to treating others as fools.

This is not surprising. Most of the managers in the NBA are players. Although many of these people have college degrees, to be honest, their college degrees...

You may not believe it, but Rodman also went to college.

Nelson Sr. also stated that the Mavericks are overcrowded inside, and a group of people must be cleared away.

Old Nelson is repaying Popovich's favor. When the Mavericks signed Duncan, Popovich was very cooperative.

Yang Dongsheng immediately vetoed the old Nelson's proposal and asked someone to tell the Spurs that if they were short of insiders, they could exchange Brad Miller with Ginobili's signing rights.

This incident made Yang Dongsheng more determined to drive away old Nelson.

James Whistler rushed to Huajing to sign the contract that day.

Shanghai Iron and Steel Works plans to build a 5000-cubic-meter blast furnace, as well as supporting equipment for oxygen production, sintering, coking, and steel rolling.

Demand for steel is booming again as the nation's economy recovers.

The Shanghai Iron and Steel Works held a bidding ceremony. Dongsheng Heavy Industry won the contract for the key mechanical equipment of the blast furnace and the mechanical part of the steel rolling equipment, but for the electrical part, the Shanghai Iron and Steel Works still chose Siemens.

On the one hand, they still don't believe in domestic equipment, and on the other hand, they don't lack foreign exchange.

Coming out of the bidding meeting, Yang Dongsheng rushed to the driver, "Go to the factory!"

Since the dot-com bubble burst, factories have recruited a lot recently, except for those from Taiwan, most of them are Japanese, and many of them are retirees.

Yang Dongsheng feels that poaching Japanese has become easier and easier in the past two years.

As time entered the 21st century, Japan experienced its first lost decade, and the main source of Japanese pensions, the earnings of the Welfare Fund, became negative.

In 2000, the dependency ratio of the elderly population in Japan even exceeded the dependency ratio of children and adolescents.

The monthly pension that retirees can receive is almost 90% lower than that in the early [-]s, but their family expenditure has not decreased.

In this era, the proportion of full-time housewives in Japan was as high as 49%. A family was supported by one person. If there were multiple children in the family, when they retired at the age of 60, the youngest child might still be in college.

More and more elderly people have to come out to work, but the wages paid by Japanese companies to rehired retirees are generally only half of what they were before retirement. Even such jobs are not so easy to find.

Many people have to drive taxis and direct traffic, which is unacceptable to many people who have spent their entire lives in offices.

As a result, a special phenomenon has arisen in Japanese society. Over the years, the stealing-style theft has been caught - Japan calls it "manki", and the number of elderly people committing crimes is increasing.

In addition, Shanghai and Tianjin have developed well in recent years, and the Japanese are easy to accept.

The people dug from Japan are engaged in industries such as semiconductors, LCD panels, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and machinery manufacturing.

The average life expectancy of men in Japan at this time has reached 81 years old, and these old men who retire at the age of 60 look quite healthy.

In addition to the Japanese, there are Americans, Germans, British, Italians, Spaniards...

Although Yang Dongsheng made seven-axis five-linkage machine tools, electric wheel mining vehicles and other equipment before, which filled the gap in China, he basically caught up with Japan in terms of reliability and work efficiency, and some even surpassed it, but he still has a gap with Europe. gap.

Yang Dongsheng checked the company's recent progress. In addition to the original projects such as chips, machine tools, LCD panels, photolithography machines, and silicon wafers, new projects such as evaporation machines, photoresists, target materials, hydrogen fluoride, and gas turbines were launched.

The growth rate of the company's research and development expenditure this year may be higher than expected at the beginning of the year. Fortunately, the profitability of Dongsheng Mining is also better than expected. With the full recovery of the economy, coal prices have bottomed out.

"Mr. Yang, there are still a few projects that I'm not sure about!" Office Director Li approached Yang Dongsheng and said.
