Chapter 1312 The Law of True Fragrance, the Ambition of Nationhood

Before the afternoon of July 14, the media was slamming the Rockets' brain-dead trade, and the Rockets' season ticket sales also hit an all-time low amid a collective boycott by die-hard fans.

In the season with the highest season ticket sales for the Rockets, 10,000 season tickets were sold, and even in the regular season, season ticket sales can sell seven or eight thousand.

However, after the draft, the Rockets' brain-dead trade angered fans, fans who had already purchased season tickets refunded their tickets, and fans who had the intention of buying season tickets also canceled their ticket purchase plans, and the Rockets' season ticket sales plummeted, and only 3,000 season tickets were sold in the new season, which was the lowest in history.

But when the Rockets officially announced that Michael Jordan had joined the Rockets, boss Lin Cheng and general manager Dawson suddenly rose from "brain-dead" to "wise" and became big heroes in Houston.

At the same time, the law of true fragrance took effect immediately, and the fans who refunded the season tickets repented and burst the ticket purchase hotline of the Rockets, and even many fans immediately went to the ticket office of the Rockets to queue up to buy tickets.

But after the Rockets had Michael Jordan, their confidence immediately became extremely sufficient, and they increased the ticket prices of all Rockets tickets by 20% on the same day, which still could not discourage the enthusiasm of fans, and the ticket market was extremely hot.

As for fans of other NBA teams, under the chain reaction of Michael Jordan joining the Rockets, tickets have become hot, especially tickets for their own team's home game against the Rockets, which are even more difficult to find.

And Kobe, Carter, Iverson and other supergiants who are known as Jordan's successors, are like chickens and blood, training harder, and they are all looking forward to beating Jordan on the court and being crowned the new king.

NBA commissioner David Stern is naturally extremely welcoming to Jordan's comeback, and since Jordan's second retirement in 98, the NBA's influence has plummeted.

Originally, during Jordan's active service, basketball once became the second most popular sport in the United States, surpassing ice hockey and baseball, second only to football. But after Jordan retired, basketball returned to its most familiar position, falling to the fourth sport.

Although the Alliance's successors Iverson, Kobe Bryant, and Carter are strong, they are still a long way from Jordan, and it is difficult to lead the development of the NBA like Jordan.

Now it's good, when the influence of the NBA is getting weaker and weaker, Michael Jordan is back, joining the Rockets team with Chinese, Yao Ming and Jordan's combination, definitely not just one plus one equals two, but far greater than two.

So David Stern said hello to the department in charge of the referee, and took extra care of the Rockets in the new season, and it was best to let the Rockets enter the playoffs, so that the NBA in the new season would have enough influence.

Jordan joins the Rockets, and there is no need for Lin Cheng to intervene in the follow-up matters, the Rockets have senior coaches like Tomjanovic in the new season, and leaders like Jordan and Olajuwon to lead, plus the talented Yao Ming, Parker, Battier, supplemented by a group of role players, it should be a sure thing to enter the playoffs in the new season.

And because of Jordan's joining, the Rockets also attracted Rodman, the rebounding king who has been retired for a year and is not doing his job to play wrestling games, to join, with the words and deeds of "bad boy" Rodman, I believe that Yao Ming, Parker, and Battier should not be bullied, you know, Rodman is a fierce man who repaired Jordan's enemy Karl Malone to a mess!

……

After dealing with the rocket team, Lin Cheng returned to Siyu Ranch, and the umbrella underground training base in Siyu Ranch had been razed to the ground, and the mercenaries and scouts who had been training here for a long time had also been transferred to Indonesia, Somalia and other sub-bases one after another.

The mercenaries and scouts were trained in the American imperialists, and the environment was still too comfortable for them, and only in the war-torn environment could they grow up quickly and become qualified soldiers.

For military power, Lin Cheng has been grasping very tightly, and even Lin Cheng has the idea of developing nuclear weapons, but this idea is very dangerous, once the five hooligans find out that they are developing nuclear weapons, then they will become the target of public criticism, and what awaits them will be like Gaddafi and Saddam.

To be honest, since Lin Cheng completed the layout of wealth at home and abroad, the idea of making money has almost disappeared, and the whole person seems to have lost his ambition and can no longer be burned.

However, the situation in Somalia and Indonesia has given Lin Cheng an extremely dangerous idea, that is, to establish one or several countries that are completely his own.

Of course, in today's world, where the Big Five Rogue has the final say, it is very difficult to establish a new independent country out of nowhere, and without the deterrence of nuclear weapons, the Big Five Rogue can wipe out the country that you have worked so hard to build up in minutes.

And even if you have nuclear weapons, you must also have the ability to deliver nuclear weapons, otherwise your nuclear weapons can only go around for dozens of miles, and the five hooligans can launch an intercontinental nuclear bomb to destroy you.

Therefore, Lin Cheng's plan for the founding of the country must be considered in the long run, first of all, the areas suitable for the establishment of the country, Indonesia will be excluded first, there are too many Indonesians in Nima, a population of more than 200 million, even if there are more than 7 million Chinese, it is a drop in the bucket for Indonesia.

Although Somalia has frequent wars and a population of only 10 million, Somalia is too far away from China to reach the whip, the Chinese population is sparse, and the cost of introducing the Chinese population is high, and the gains outweigh the losses.

After thinking about it, Lin Cheng felt that the founding plan was still suitable for implementation in Myanmar, which has a population of 60 million, and the Chinese accounted for one-tenth, about 6 million people, and Myanmar bordered China, which was very suitable for Lin Cheng to transfer the domestic population to Myanmar.

The most important thing is that Myanmar is a country with frequent wars, the main ethnic group is only 60% of the Burmese, and 40% of the ethnic minorities, and the various ethnic groups are not as harmonious as China, even in the modern 21st century, wars are still occurring.

All the conditions in Myanmar are very suitable for Lin Cheng's state-building plan, but if Lin Cheng openly establishes the country, then Lin Cheng will not be a joke in the face of the pressure of the five hooligans.

The founding of the country must be done slowly, not in a hurry, before there are no nuclear weapons and the ability to deliver nuclear weapons, the public establishment of the country is a joke with his own life, Lin Cheng will not be so reckless.

Therefore, Lin Cheng plans to hide behind the scenes, first lay a foothold in northern Myanmar, declare it as a special region in northern Myanmar, and then unite with the ethnic minorities in Myanmar to fight against the Burmese people, and form a trend of resistance with the Burmese government army, and then slowly plan it, waiting for the time to change.
