With the draft over, Leon Rose decided to go first and go to Atlanta to negotiate Nguyen's rookie contract, as well as some commercial endorsements. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Nguyen Erniu is ready to fly back to Los Angeles to pack his bags, and if there are no accidents, he should go to Las Vegas to participate in this year's summer league games to adjust to the rhythm of the NBA in advance.

Before leaving, Ruan Da Niu specially stopped him and asked him not to rush to buy a house in Atlanta.

"Why? I'm basically going to live there for four years!" Ruan Erniu asked, puzzled.

Ruan Daniu told the truth: "My villa on Long Island was actually sold half a year ago, and now I am actually renting a house! Do you know why? Because the United States is likely to encounter a financial crisis, to be precise, it should be the subprime mortgage crisis!"

"What is the subprime mortgage crisis?" Ruan Erniu asked curiously.

Of course, the financial derivative behind this is much more complicated than this, and you have not noticed a piece of financial news, in April this year, the second largest subprime mortgage company in the United States, New Century Financial Corporation, filed for bankruptcy protection. Although the US government is still hard-mouthed, people with a little common sense of economics are aware of the problem. It was also at a party half a year ago that I talked about this topic with my old Wall Street classmates, and I decided to sell the house!" said Ruan Xueba.

Ruan Erniu said: "In other words, in the future, housing prices in the United States will continue to fall?"

Ruan Xueba nodded, and then said: "Not only housing prices, but the entire financial market will be greatly impacted! It is too easy for people in the United States to make money, and the manufacturing industry is actually in a recession stage, and it is a matter of time before something happens!"

Only then did Ruan Erniu understand why he had the confidence to say that he would go back to his hometown to build a house in 08, and the money would be shared. The rice yuan he held in his hand was the greatest confidence.

Erniu thought for a while and said, "Okay, then after I go to Atlanta, I'll live in a hotel or rent a house." Anyway, it's close to the Philips Center. When the house price falls hard enough, I will buy another set at the bottom. ”

Ruan Xueba suggested again: "It is conservatively estimated that the decline in housing prices will not stop until the end of 08." Remember, cash is king!"

Basketball is not the whole of life, if you want to ask Ruan Erniu what is the biggest gain in the past year and a half in the United States? He will definitely say that he is looking at the world from a new perspective. To put it another way, that is, his cognition has been upgraded!

……

Just returned to Los Angeles, before Ruan Erniu had time to pack his luggage, an unexpected phone call came.

"Hello Kraft, I'm Joe Johnson. The voice on the other end of the phone was calm and inaudible.

Is this the "Eagle King" going to give a lecture to the rookie? Ruan Erniu guessed.

But despite this, he responded enthusiastically: "Hello, Joe, I'm Kraft, how did you know my number?"

Joe Johnson said: "From Mike [referring to Woodson], welcome to the Hawks, and hopefully next season, we can work together to make the playoffs!"

Ruan Erniu hurriedly said: "Of course, I believe that we will definitely be able to make a breakthrough in the new season!"

Joe Johnson seemed a little happy and said, "Very well, then I'll wait for you in Atlanta, and after coming here, I'll treat you to dinner, so be it, goodbye, brother." ”

After saying that, Joe Johnson hung up.

Ruan Erniu was very puzzled at the time, and really didn't understand why Qiao made this call. If it was an oath of sovereignty, the tone was a little too bland. When you are the boss, you have to say at least one thing, and I will cover you in the future. However, Joe Johnson did not say.

If he simply welcomed Ruan Erniu to the Eagles, then his words would be a little cold.

It wasn't until Ruan Erniu got along with this "Eagle King" for a while that he discovered the truth.

This big guy is really cool, not pretending to be cool, his style on the field is not much different from his style off the field, they all belong to people who do things quietly.

Such a person is obviously overflowing with talent as a second-in-command, but he always feels a little 1.5-rate as the boss of the team. If I had to find a template, this is Andre Iguodala who is strong in attack and weak in defense.

Ruan Erniu, who answered the call from the current boss, just wanted to pack his luggage, but he received a second unexpected call.

The one who called this time was also a boss, but this time it was the one from the national team - Yao Ming.

"Erniu, congratulations on becoming a Tanhua!" Da Yao said with a smile.

"Where, Brother Yao, you promoted me, you were the top pick in the draft back then!" Ruan Erniu said modestly.

Da Yao said: "I was a young year in the draft, if I participate in this year's draft, whether I can be selected in the top five is a question! By the way, I want to convey an invitation from the leader of the Basketball Association, do you want to experience the atmosphere of the national team in advance?"

Ruan Erniu hurriedly asked, "What do you say, I have been selected for the national team?"

Yao Ming didn't sell it, and said bluntly: "I've been selected! But there is a request, I want you to participate in the summer league in Las Vegas directly with the national team!"

Ruan Erniu's mind didn't turn around for a moment, and he asked stupidly: "Wait a while, what does the summer league have to do with the national team? Brother Yao, you confused me!"

Yao Ming said: "You can just search for domestic sports news on the Internet. The national team is going to come to the United States to train this time and prepare to play a few summer league games. By the way, I'll also recruit you, Ah Lian, and Sun Yue to rehearse the lineup in advance. ”

Ruan Erniu was puzzled: "This matter is a bit troublesome! The Eagles also have a summer league to play, I just got selected, I'm afraid it's not okay not to participate?"

Yao Ming said unhurriedly: "Not necessarily, you are a flower show, and you participate in the summer league just to warm up and familiarize yourself with the environment." Summer League teammates and your regular season teammates are not the same people, you can contact the Atlanta side first, I don't think there will be no chance of accommodation!"

Ruan Erniu thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll communicate with the Eagles." Brother Yao, then how do I contact the national team?"

Yao Ming said: "You go to Dallas before July 3rd, and I will send the address and number to your mobile phone later, and then you can directly find the team leader, Director Hu (deputy)!"

Ruan Erniu hung up the phone and immediately called his agent, Leon.

After learning that the rookie contract was basically negotiated, Ruan Erniu put forward the idea of mentioning the national team to play in the summer league. For Ruan Erniu, participating in the Olympics is really a feeling that he can't give up.

Leon Rose immediately got in touch with the Hawks after learning about Erniu's idea.

The Eagles, for their part, are very reasonable, and in their opinion, there is nothing wrong with not playing Summer League with the Eagles. Anyway, as long as you can see Ruan Erniu's performance in the summer league, it is enough.

Billy Knight, the general manager of the Eagles, also took the initiative to call Erniu, saying that he should not have a psychological burden, work hard to show his strength, and don't get injured.

The Eagles are so powerful, of course Ruan Erniu is very grateful. He quickly packed his bags, booked his plane ticket, and hit the road to Dallas.

This former teenager in the domestic sports circle finally touched the door of the national brand through his unremitting efforts and luck.
